Chapter 220 Reform: Household Marriage Law
"The queen's virtue is unworthy! Not only is she jealous in the palace, but she also connives at the descendants to obstruct the new law. I implore the officials to abolish the queen!"

Above the imperial court, the new party found itself at a dead end and directly impeached Empress Meng.

"Officials must not!"

Lu Dafang hastily stopped him.

"Empress Meng is virtuous and virtuous. She has never said that she is jealous. Back then, for the sake of the prosperity of the royal heirs, she even gave nearly thirty concubines to the official family. How can such a magnanimous empress be jealous?"

Lu Dafang quickly explained to Empress Meng that Empress Meng was elected by the old party and was the representative of the old party in the palace, so the old party naturally strongly supported it.

"As for the many crimes committed by the descendant Meng family, I'm afraid it's nonsense!" Yang Wei tried his best to argue that similar things abound in the rich and powerful families. Naturally, there is no need to say more, of course, Yang Wei cannot say these words clearly.

Zhang Dun snorted coldly and said: "The iron evidence is like a mountain. The military weapon case endangers the safety of the Song Dynasty. The children of the Meng family rely on the name of the emperor's relatives and do many illegal things. There are witnesses and physical evidence. As a descendant of the Meng family, not only Not thinking of serving the country, but instead taking the lead in endangering the imperial court and obstructing the new law, is really an added crime."

Zhao Xu was suddenly furious. The Great Song Dynasty had been at a disadvantage in foreign wars for years, and he attached great importance to armaments. As a captain, Meng Yuan let the soldiers wear inferior armor to fight. No matter whether he participated in it or not, he could hardly escape his responsibility.

Not to mention that the new law was the foundation of the Song Dynasty's prosperity. Although the Meng family condoned their children's wanton mergers, they took the lead in opposing the new law, which directly violated Zhao Xu's bottom line.

"Come here, remove Meng Yuan from his position as Taiwei, and hand over all the unscrupulous children of the Meng family to the third division for interrogation."

Zhao Xu said angrily.

Revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty and promoting the new law are his greatest obsessions, and he is now mercilessly attacking the Meng family in order to deter those who dare to obstruct the new law in the world.

"The officials are wise!"

Everyone in the new party bowed down one after another.

The Meng family is not very powerful in the old party, but their status is extremely special. Once the Meng family is taken down, there will be no resistance to the implementation of the new law.

However, it is not difficult to take down the Meng family. After all, the New Party has won the Meng family's ironclad evidence quickly with its intentional calculation and pre-emptive strikes. However, it is very difficult to abolish the Queen Meng's position.

Not to mention that above the court, the old party immediately obstructed it, and even the medical party did not support the abolition of the empress. After all, there is no real evidence that Queen Meng was jealous. The Queen dismounted.

After the next dynasty, the news about the court immediately spread throughout the harem.

"The Meng family has lost power! Empress Meng will be abolished!"

For a moment, the palace was shocked.

Empress Meng's appearance is not perfect, and she is also older than the official family. More importantly, Empress Meng was married to the official family by Empress Gao. up.

Not to mention that now Taiwei Meng Yuan has been dismissed, the Meng family has been investigated again, and Empress Meng's other backer has also collapsed. Today's Empress Meng has completely lost her power.

In the harem, Zhao Xu is in high spirits!

Empress Meng is the empress candidate made by Empress Dowager Gao, and she has never been liked by him. What he really loves is Concubine Liu Xian, who is versatile and beautiful.

When Empress Dowager Gao was in power, he couldn't resist. Now that he has taken control of the power, he is naturally capable of choosing a queen of his choice.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Just when Zhao Xu made a decision secretly, a sudden announcement woke him up.

"Sure enough, it's still here!"

Zhao Xu was surprised, ever since he had the idea of ​​abolishing the empress, he knew that there was one person who would definitely object, and that was the empress dowager.

"Officials think twice! The empress is virtuous and virtuous, everyone in the palace has heard of it, how can she be easily abolished." As soon as the Empress Dowager Xiang came in, she strongly opposed the abolition of the empress.

Empress Dowager Xiang had also been a queen before, so she naturally knew that to maintain the dignity of the queen is to maintain her dignity. If Queen Meng is easily deposed, then her status as empress dowager may not have much authority.

From this point of view, the interests of Queen Mother Xiang and Queen Meng are the same.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "My aunt should have heard about the Meng family's affairs. If the Meng family had the Xiang family's loyalty to the country, why would I worry about it today?"

The Xiang family has always been the pride of the Empress Dowager. She is not Zhao Xu's biological mother. To avoid suspicion, she has been suppressing her natal family to be an official. Although the Xiang family is dissatisfied, they also know the situation of the Empress Dowager. Most of them act cautiously and their family education is strict.

Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help showing a hint of arrogance and said: "Although the Meng family made mistakes, how can the queen know about the Meng family's affairs when she is in the palace all year round?"

The Empress Dowager Xiang did not excuse Empress Meng, but felt deeply that the harem was originally in a relationship with the outside world. Although the Empress had greater authority, it was extremely difficult to leave the palace. How could Empress Meng know about the illegal affairs of the Meng family? .

A trace of helplessness appeared on Zhao Xu's face, and he said, "I will seriously consider my aunt's opinion."

After the Queen Mother left, Concubine Zhu came one after another.

"Why is the concubine mother free to watch the baby?" Zhao Xu asked pleasantly.

Concubine Zhu is Zhao Xu's biological mother, but Concubine Zhu has a weak personality. Even though her son has taken over the power by himself, she is still extremely low-key.

Concubine Zhu looked at her son with pity and said: "Concubine Mother came here today because she heard that you are going to abolish the Empress. Concubine Mother also likes the Meng family, so the officials should not be impulsive."

Although Empress Meng is not the best in appearance, she has no shortcomings in other aspects. She is the best candidate for a daughter-in-law. As for the coquettish Concubine Liu Xian, she is naturally not liked by the conservative Concubine Zhu.

Zhao Xu was silent for a moment and said: "Boy, there is another reason for wanting to abolish the empress, which is to complain about the mother and concubine."

"Because of me?" Concubine Zhu asked puzzled.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes and he said: "My son is now the emperor, but my mother can only be named a concubine. She hasn't enjoyed the title of empress so far. If my mother is like this, I don't want my son's mother to suffer like this."

The poison of cotton oil in his body, the doctor discovered that apart from the microscope, he left one for the imperial hospital. He once asked the imperial physician to examine his body, and the conclusion he got was that it would be difficult for him to have any more children. In this way, Concubine Liu Xian gave birth Zhao Mao, his son, is very likely to be his only heir.

His mother had never been a queen in his life, and he was extremely dissatisfied that he was not treated by the Empress Dowager Gao in the palace. He had been exposed to the rain himself, so he naturally didn't want his son Zhao Mao to suffer the same thing as him.

If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to abolish his son in the future. He wanted to solve the problem for his son once and for all.

However, Mrs. Zhu said softly: "My mother never thought about the position of empress. Back then, my mother was just a small royal attendant. To be favored by the late emperor is already very satisfying."

Zhu's character is docile and respectful. Even the Empress Dowager Gao who criticized him harshly back then never held grudges, never interfered in the government affairs, and even didn't care about the queen's position.

Mrs. Zhu gave Empress Meng a few more words of kindness, persuaded Zhao Xu, and then left.

First the Empress Dowager Xiang, and then the Empress Dowager Zhu, all opposed the abolition of the Empress Dowager.

For a while, Zhao Xu's thoughts were greatly reduced after he was abolished.

"The Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhu oppose the abolition of the empress! What should I do?" Wang Di was extremely anxious when he heard the news.

Empress Dowager Xiang is the empress dowager of the current dynasty, and Concubine Zhu is the biological mother of the official family. The influence of the two of them on the harem is beyond doubt, enough to change the decision-making of the official family.

But Zhang Dun said calmly: "I think that Queen Mother Xiang and Concubine Zhu are not enough to influence the decision of the officials. Concubine Liu Xian still has an advantage that cannot be surpassed!"

"Oh?" Wang Di looked at Zhang Dun in surprise.

"love!"

Zhang Dun has a well-thought-out plan.

"love?"

Wang Di couldn't help being taken aback.

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "That's right, it's love!"

"I also ask Mr. Xianggong to explain the confusion." Wang Di asked for advice.

"If life is just like the first time you see it, where will the autumn wind draw a fan!......"

"Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death......."

“……………………… The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but when I suddenly looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place.”

Zhang Dun recited several of Fan Zheng's famous poems through the ages, and Wang Di suddenly blurted out: "The love between Fan Zheng, the evil doctor, and Li Qingzhao!"

When it comes to love, what Da Song likes to talk about the most is the vigorous love between Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao. Especially recently, the two are about to get married, and they have finally achieved a good result. The past between the two is naturally brought up by the people of Kaifeng.

Zhang Dun nodded and said: "If you want to abolish the posthumous success this time, I'm afraid it is inseparable from Fan Zheng's big marriage. The vigorous love between Fan and Li, the love that is privately determined for life and eventually married, has already been recognized by countless people in the world. Pursue, let me ask who in the world doesn’t want to have a perfect love.”

Wang Di was moved in his heart and said: "The government regards the evil doctor Fan Zheng as a confidant. Now that Fan Zheng is about to get married, it will be a perfect ending to this vigorous love. As the most powerful person in the world, how can the government be reconciled?" You can't let the woman you love be your main wife."

Zhang Dun Zhizhu clasped and said: "So, the more perfect and sweet Fan Zheng's love is, the more unwilling the officials will be. This time, the new party will change the marriage law of legal households and take this opportunity to clean up the ethics of the officials after they are abolished." Political and legal obstacles."

"Household Marriage Law!" Wang Di couldn't help being startled, he didn't expect that the post-abolishment incident would be connected with the Household Marriage Law.

..............................

When Fan Zheng finished his vacation and went to court again, he suddenly found that he had become the focus of the court.

"Reporting to the official family, it is a great happy event in the world that Master Fan and Li Cai's lover finally got married. However, since ancient times, there are very few people who can be as happy as Master Fan." Zhang Dun said with emotion.

"Master Zhang, you're being polite." Fan Zheng said with a hint of happiness.

Zhang Dun shook his head and said: "It's not that there are no lovers in the world, but it is difficult for lovers to get married. When Renzong was young, he admired Wang's daughter the most, and he even mentioned this to Empress Liu, but Empress Liu ignored it at all. This Wang family is "too coquettish, and I'm afraid it will harm the young master", but turned around and betrothed this "beautiful" girl to Liu Mei's eldest son Liu Congde."

Liu Mei Nai is the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Liu. There were many conflicts between Empress Dowager Liu and Renzong back then, and this matter may have a great relationship.

"When Renzong got married, Empress Dowager Liu chose Guo and Zhang as queen candidates. Renzong's official family favored Zhang, but the Empress Dowager Liu did not discuss with Renzong, and directly named Zhang as a talent and Guo Empress Guo, however, was arrogant and self-indulgent, and after being deposed in the end, it can be seen that the fate of parents is not perfect." Zeng Bu added.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu's heart moved. He had always wanted to abolish the empress, but there was no reason for it. Renzong's abolition of Empress Guo set a precedent for him. Since Renzong was able to abolish the empress successfully, he can naturally abolish the empress.

"Even if the emperor is like this, the people are even more chaotic. The "Ayun case" in the period of the first emperor is the representative of it. Ayun is just a girl in her teens. Wei Ada, Ayun is very unhappy, but his parents are both dead, and his uncle's words are the orders of his parents, and he cannot be disobedient. This is the tragedy of the Ayun case." Cai Bian echoed.

Zhao Xu cooperated and said: "So, there is a big problem with the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents?"

If the family marriage law of parents' order and matchmaker's words is wrong, then the resistance after his abolition will be greatly reduced.

"That's right!" Everyone in the New Party nodded their heads.

"Think twice, the officials! The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are the household marriage law that has been enforced for thousands of years in the past dynasties, how can it be easily changed." Lu Dafang naturally understood the plan of the new party, and immediately dissuaded him.

Zhang Dun snorted coldly: "It is not true that what has been practiced for a thousand years is not correct. The marriage contract of kissing and getting married was also carried out for a thousand years. It has not been proved by doctors that it is a way to harm the people."

Zeng Bu nodded and said: "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the marriage between Mr. Fan and the talented girl. If it wasn't for Mr. Fan, he was so talented, and the ten consecutive poems with Mrs. Li are well known all over the world. The end of the split."

The New Party had been prepared for a long time, taking advantage of the danger of inbreeding and the tribulation of their love with Fan and Li, the Tuoyi Party stood on the same front as him.

Fan Zhengxin nodded in embarrassment. At that time, he thought that Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao were in love with each other, and the combination of the two would be a matter of course, but he did not expect to encounter such great resistance from Li's father. If he hadn't used fingerprints to find the ironclad evidence that Zhao Mingcheng bribed the boatman , I am afraid that the Li family will make a marriage contract with the Zhao family, and it will be too late by then.

Su Song also nodded and echoed: "To the officials, the household marriage law stipulates that both males and females can get married at the age of fifteen, but according to medical research, men and women will stop developing around the same time, males at fifteen and females at ten Three, their bodies have not grown up yet. Premature indulgence is not conducive to physical growth, and women who give birth too early will often cause babies to be too small, die young, or even have dystocia. I implore the age of marriage between men and women to be postponed by three years and changed to ten years for men. Eighth, it is most suitable for a female sixteen to get married."

"Marriage between close relatives is strictly prohibited, and some patients with infectious diseases are not suitable for marriage!" Fan Zheng added.

All of a sudden, the Medical Party and the New Party stood together on the united front and jointly promoted the reform of household marriage law.

Seeing this, everyone in the New Party couldn't help showing a look of victory. Once the government reforms the family marriage law, there will be no resistance after the government is abolished.

"Officials are not allowed! Parents' order and matchmaker's words are hard to change folk customs. Once they are changed, it may cause chaos among the people." Lu Dafang immediately objected.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath and said, "As the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the man and the woman have no right to decide. They have never seen each other before marriage. It is like a blind marriage. Countless lovers in the world are forced to separate, and countless people suffer for their lives. I am determined to change the law." Tu Qiang, since the household marriage law is wrong, then change the household marriage law so that all lovers in the world will finally get married."

Zhang Dun echoed: "If you want to talk about lovers in the world, it is natural that Mr. Fan and Li Li are the models in the world. I think that we should not use Mr. Fan's big marriage as a template, so that all lovers in the world can get married."

"allow!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand.
