Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 229 Li Qingzhao's Relatives of Traitors
There were constant disputes between the court and China, but Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao thanked guests behind closed doors, enjoying the sweetness of their world, talking about poetry during the day, and singing in harmony at night, it was a perfect fit.

However, according to the custom, the newlyweds have three days to return home.

On the third day of their wedding, Fan Zheng prepared gifts early, and returned to Li's house with Li Qingzhao in a carriage.

"Miss and uncle are back!"

As the concierge delivered the report, the entire Li Mansion immediately became a sensation, and Li Kefei and his wife rushed out to welcome them.

"This is the latest mirror developed by Yigong, please accept it from my mother-in-law!"

When Fan Zheng commanded his servants to carry a brand new pair of glass mirrors down the carriage, looking at the clear face inside, Wang couldn't put it down immediately.

Just ask which woman in the world can refuse such a clear mirror, this is simply the ultimate temptation.

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law!" Fan Zheng saluted Li Kefei solemnly. This was the first time he visited Li Kefei after his wedding, so the gift must not be missed.

Li Kefei, on the other hand, looked at Fan Zheng with admiration. His daughter's wedding was congratulated by the three prime ministers of the dynasty, the Song and Liao countries blessed him, and even the officials attended the wedding in person. This is a supreme honor.

Not to mention that at the wedding, Fan Zheng recited the wedding vows in front of the officials and all the guests, and gave his daughter the greatest protection, how could he not satisfy his father.

"A good son-in-law doesn't need to be polite!" Li Kefei reassured.

"This is my brother-in-law, Fan Zheng, he really is a good-looking talent!" Suddenly, a handsome middle-aged man looked at Fan Zheng like a spring breeze.

"Brother-in-law?"

Fan Zheng raised his brows, and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. This person was about the same age as Li Kefei, but far from him, yet he could still be a brother-in-law?
Only then did Li Kefei suddenly said: "Come here, let me introduce you for my father. This is Qingzhao's cousin-in-law, Mr. Cai Jingcai. Mr. Cai has just returned to the court, and the son-in-law should not have met him yet."

"Cai Jing! The leader of the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty! The famous treacherous minister is actually Li Qingzhao's cousin-in-law."

Fan Zheng's expression froze immediately, and he looked in front of him in disbelief.

Cai Jing smiled heartily and said: "Cai has just returned to court, and it is a great pity that he was unable to attend Master Fan's wedding. Until Master Fan and his cousin came back today, we came here to see Master Fan's demeanor!"

Fan Zheng said politely: "Your Majesty Cai, you are welcome. The two brothers of the Cai family were officials in the same dynasty. It is a good story in the court. Fan has been famous for a long time."

"Where! Where? The Fan family has two reforms in one family. The eternal poems of brother-in-law and cousin are even more anecdotal. Cai is far away and admires him endlessly.

Cai Jing deserved to be a famous treacherous official in later generations, he spoke nicely and was funny, soon the Li House was full of laughter.

Fan Zheng had a strange expression on his face. Back then, Fan Zheng met Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian in the Ministry of Rites, but he never thought that the famous Cai Jing in history books would have such a relationship with Li Qingzhao.

wrong!

The relatives of the Li family were not only Cai Jing, a treacherous official, but the famous treacherous minister Qin Hui in later generations was also a relative of the Li family. Cai Jing was Li Qingzhao's cousin-in-law, and Qin Hui was Li Qingzhao's cousin-in-law.

"The Li family has stabbed the nest of treacherous officials." Fan Zheng couldn't help but smiled wryly.

In the face of Cai Jing's enthusiasm, Fan Zheng was polite on the surface, but he was vigilant in his heart.

Cai Jing is the backbone of the new party and the leader of the six thieves in later generations, so how can he come to see his irrelevant cousin without incident.

Sure enough, after exchanging pleasantries, Cai Jing said as if nothing had happened: "The marriage law of new households is based on brother-in-law and cousin. If the new household marriage law can be implemented as soon as possible, there will be no more disadvantages in marriages in the world."

Li Kefei nodded slightly, in his heart he also strongly agrees with the marriage law of new households, after all, it is based on his own daughter.

However, Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The new household marriage law raises the age for men and women to get married. In addition, the household registration management in various places needs to increase the number of officials who sign marriage certificates. If it is implemented rashly, it may cause chaos in the world. We still need a certain buffer period. It is better for the people of the world to understand more.”

"The brother-in-law thinks when is the best time to implement the new household marriage law!" Cai Jing said irrefutably.

"Next year!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

The one-year publicity period of the new household marriage law can give the people of the world a buffer time. Those who want to get married can advance it, and those who want to follow the new household marriage law are naturally not in a hurry.

"Cai heard that many officials of the old party criticized the marriage laws of new households, especially Confucianism, and even respected the words of their parents and matchmakers. Isn't Fan Taicheng afraid of long nights?" Cai Jing asked.

Cai Jing is not alarmist. The new marriage law has greatly weakened the authority of parents' orders. This has greatly dissatisfied the Luo party, which is mainly based on Neo Confucianism, and has repeatedly opposed it.

"Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires?" Fan Zheng sneered.

"Preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires!" Cai Jing and Li Kefei couldn't help being shocked, Fan Zheng can be said to have summed up the core ideas of Neo-Confucianism concisely.

But Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires are just saying one thing and doing another. From the perspective of doctors, everyone has seven emotions and six desires. In fact, no one can achieve the standard of eliminating human desires. Let those who call themselves gentlemen say one thing and do another, and everyone in the world is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, hypocrisy to cover themselves, they can't do it themselves, and at the same time ask others to destroy human desires and treat others harshly."

"Covering oneself with hypocrisy and treating others harshly!"

Li Kefei couldn't help being shocked. When he was in Luoyang City, he used to appreciate Confucianism, but now after Fan Zhengyi's analysis, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Fan is not afraid of Neo Confucianism's opposition, and I promote the law of new marriages, not for my own selfishness, but to let lovers in the world get married. This is both the law of heaven and human desire. The real world order should It is the coexistence of human desires according to the law of heaven, not the destruction of human desires."

"Master Fan's words are deafening! Cai has been taught." Cai Jing cooperated.

Fan Zheng criticized the preservation of the principles of nature and the destruction of human desires, giving the new party a theoretical weapon against the old party. Of course, as shrewd as Cai Jing, he naturally understood Fan Zheng's implication. If there were no legitimate reasons, Fan Zheng would not support the abolition of the queen.

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

"Confucianism preserves the principles of nature and eliminates human desires! Hypocrisy covers oneself and treats others strictly!"

"Doctors believe that the laws of nature and human desires coexist!"

With the help of the New Party, Fan Zheng's summary and criticism of Neo-Confucianism immediately spread in the ruling and opposition circles.

At this moment, Neo Confucianism has not yet reached the stage where later generations can integrate Confucianism and unify Confucianism, while physicians are in full swing, picking out the biggest drawback of Neo Confucianism at a glance, which immediately aroused great repercussions in the academic circles.

In particular, Su Shi, representing the Shu Party, was at odds with the Luo Party represented by Neo-Confucianism, and even blatantly campaigned for the marriage law of new households in the Dibao, satirizing the hypocrisy of Neo-Confucianism.

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng is double-faced!"

The old party was furious and said that the new household marriage law had a lot to do with the government's abolition of the empress, but Fan Zheng, who was the blueprint of the new household marriage law, had repeatedly oscillated between favoring the abolition of the empress and opposing the abolition of the empress. .

Just at this moment, a message came that the post-abolishment dispute had come to a standstill.

"Princess Fuqing is sick!"

As soon as the news came out, everyone kept silent. Although the new party wanted to abolish the empress, but now that Princess Fuqing was ill, if they pushed for the abolition of the empress, they might be accused by thousands of people.
