Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 57
I think about your dark night, think about your face, repeatedly sleepless...

Fan Zheng didn't have anyone he could think of yet, but he still tossed and turned.

Changsun Wuji's refusal to sit in the yamen is justifiable.

The legal holidays of officials in the Tang Dynasty, known as the Festival of False Ning, are of various types, and the first day of October is also a holiday of False Ning.

However, Changsun Wuji came to Dunhuafang just to make a promise to himself, Fan Zheng didn't believe it.

Ouyang Xun and Changsun Wuji wrote poems to ridicule each other, and Fan Zheng still remembers a line in it, "It's only because of the turmoil of the heart (hùn)".

The word 溷 means turbidity, confusion, and filth.

They all pointed their noses at each other and started cursing. Does Ouyang Xun, who is already eighty years old, have anything to worry about?

Not to mention, Tanzhou (Changsha) people have a hot temper.

But scolding you has to be justified, literati can't scold each other like a shrew, so Changsun Wuji laughed at Ouyang Xun for being like a macaque, and Ouyang Xun laughed at Changsun Wuji for being dirty.

The one who flirts first is cheap, who made Ni Changsun Wuji laugh at others first?

Even if Li Shimin smoothed things over, Ouyang Xun still did not bow his head, Changsun Wuji could only laugh and let it go.

The key point is that it is really not a lie to say that Changsun Wuji's heart is filthy.

In addition to dealing with many things that should not be made public, Changsun Wuji also has problems with his personality. He likes to play dirty and is not generous enough.

Coupled with Er Zhucheng's sudden provocation, it was inevitable that Fan Zheng would think too much.

You know, if Tie Dazhuang was acting like this, he would have been beaten by Fan Zheng long ago.

There are some but not many people who dare to go against Fangzheng's intentions, especially outside, and they will basically take care of Fangzheng's face.

Assuming that Changsun Wuji didn't want to make any promises, let Er Zhucheng and others make trouble, and then let Buqu come forward to break the situation, and treat it as a favor, wouldn't it be clean and neat?

Don't think so, it's too dirty.

……

In the square, an orphaned grandson, nearly fifty years old, fell in love with a middle-aged man and wanted to raise him as a son.

Fan Zheng was too lazy to come forward and asked Lu Jiasheng to run for a while, but Lu Jia came back angrily.

"Fangzheng! Sun Jiu doesn't soak in oil and salt, so he insists on taking that miscellaneous family with a different surname as his son!"

The common people in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be the bottom of the society, but they were not.

Below the commoner class, there are three tiers.

First-level beauties are people who have some official records but are exempted from all crimes. They can marry ordinary people, enjoy the rights of ordinary people, and undertake corresponding obligations, but in fact they are still dwarves;
The second floor is miscellaneous households. The three major sources are legacy from the previous dynasty, convict officials and captives. They belong to semi-official slaves with bad official records and residential surveillance. They are similar to the musicians in Taichang Temple. They belong to prefectures and counties. for untouchables;
The third floor is the household, that is, the official slave who has been exempted from the death penalty, and is under the control of each department.

"Old Tang Book" mentioned such a thing: Anyone who sits against each other has no family to be an official slave.One is exempted from being a fan household, another is exempted from being a miscellaneous household, and the third is exempted from being a good citizen, all because of the extent of pardon.

The status of miscellaneous households is low. In addition to the stipulation that the good and the poor are not married, they are not allowed to accept miscellaneous households as descendants.

In Sun Jiu's dilapidated house, there stood a pale old middle-aged man in sackcloth, Mr. Wei, with a good appearance and a hint of a woman, who was his adopted son.

The adopted son is a godson, you can recognize it casually;
The adopted son is to inherit the incense, but he can't do anything wrong.

What's more, it also involves official matters such as household registration. Without Fangli's nod, you don't even have the qualifications to go to Hucao to handle it.

Sun Jiu's haggard hair was tied up in a random bun, his eyes flickered slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could kill mosquitoes, and his palms were trembling like old bark.

angry.

Why, my Sun Jiu has been a bachelor all my life, and I can't find an adopted son to take over the incense?
Fan Zheng appeared in Sun Jiu's house in a vicious manner: "Sun Jiu, you're getting too courageous, Fang Ding doesn't listen to his persuasion."

Sun Jiu's anger disappeared immediately, and a smiling face appeared: "What did Fangzheng say? The little old man was just arguing with Lu Jiasheng, a young man. In desperation, his voice became louder..."

Sun Jiu pinched half of her fingers obsequiously: "That's a little bit."

Fan Zheng raised his eyelids: "Your surname is Sun, his surname is Wei. "Zhenguan Law" stipulates that if no son adopts a man of the same clan, and adopts a man with a different surname, it will only take one year. You can think about it."

This is why Lu Jiasheng was not as good as Fan Zheng, although he knew it was wrong, but he couldn't be like Fan Zheng, he could easily grasp the provisions of "Zhenguan Law".

It is also a violation of the law, and the deterrent effect of flogging and imprisonment is much worse.

This law is also quite interesting. Adopted sons are not allowed to take a different surname, and they will be abandoned in later generations.

Therefore, there was no such thing as "three generations returning to the clan" in the Tang Dynasty.

Junzi Wei looked at Sun Jiu pitifully, and Sun Jiu, who was already hesitant, gritted his teeth and said, "Take it! For the ancestor's incense, I did it for a year!"

Isn't it just a year of hard work in Wannian County?

go with!
Of course, this is Sun Jiu who has never been taught the official law, so he dared to think so.

Those who have really committed crimes will spit on the ground, yeah yeah I won't let you get caught and sentenced again!

Fan Zheng chuckled lightly: "Unfortunately, it's not just this one. Raising a man from a miscellaneous family as a descendant will be punished for a year and a half; raising a woman from a miscellaneous family will be punished with a hundred sticks. Both the prison sentence and the cane punishment are free, and you have to pay back afterward. "

Sun Jiu was dumbfounded.

If after receiving the punishment, the government will admit it, and Sun Jiu may still hold on.

However, the punishment is for nothing, and you still have to pay back. Isn't this suffering for nothing?
What is the purpose of tossing?
Have you ever been beaten?
"Aye..." Junzi Wei's voice was tingling.

Sun Jiu shivered and waved his hands again and again: "I don't dare. I don't have the blessing to be you Aye."

Wei Junzi pursed his mouth, he actually looked like a big guy in women's clothing, even Lu Jiasheng was a little lost.

Fan Zheng showed a weird smile.

It seems that something serious has been discovered.

Tsk tsk, Sun Jiu looked so honest, she didn't expect a toad to marry a frog - ugly and playful.

Wei Junzi burst into tears: "I want to take off my identity as a miscellaneous household and become a good man. What's wrong with me? You want to stop me like this?"

Fan Zheng exhaled mistyly: "The miscellaneous household wants to escape from citizenship and become a benefactor, and has no choice but to wait for the court's pardon. If you want to escape from citizenship through adopting a son, you will only harm others and yourself."

Wei Junzi's body trembled again and again: "From the first year of Zhenguan to now, it has been 11 years. What have I waited for? Haha, God, is this trying to kill my Wei Junzi's life?"

Fan Zheng held a flower with a jujube stick: "The previous Fangzheng died suddenly, and he didn't explain it too clearly. However, the offenders in the first year of Zhenguan, and they were resettled nearby, should be Yi'an King Li Xiaochang and You Jian. Sun Anye, the head of the gate general, is still a relatively marginal figure."

"Being implicated by this, even if you are sent to be an official slave, it is not wrong, and it may not be impossible to simply send you to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although the miscellaneous household is not too free, it is already considered a very good treatment."

Whether miscellaneous households are wronged or not is not an issue for Fan Zhengpei to discuss.

However, Mr. Wei, it is really difficult to get rid of one's nationality and become a beloved man.
