Chapter 586 Roots

"I have one thing I want to ask the saint." Yue Shan said.

"If you don't want anything, just say it." Li Shimin said straightforwardly.

"About the Prime Minister...please think twice." Yue Shan thought about it.

"Why did he ask you for mercy? He married Fan Yang Lu's daughter, so he should have been implicated. I just asked him to divorce his wife, which is already very tolerant. What else does he want?" Li Shimin said displeased.

"I know that Prime Minister Fang has a special status. As a prime minister, he must set an example for all officials. But a saint must also consider human nature, after all, she is his first wife." Yue Shan persuaded:

"When Mrs. Fang married him when he was poor and humble, her husband and son would never leave him. This kind of feeling really makes people..."

"Ha... I'm bah." Li Shimin laughed angrily: "You are too ridiculous a lobbyist, you are talking nonsense. Fang Xuanling came from a family of officials. , otherwise you thought the daughter of the Fan family would marry him?"

"It's fine if you say that the couple has a strong relationship, but if you say that they are a poor and lowly couple, it's outrageous, it's outrageous."

"Eh..." Yue Shan was so embarrassed, he overplayed it, subconsciously ignoring Fang Xuanling's background.But since he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop halfway, so he could only say cheekily:
"In any case, Mrs. Fang married him before he made a fortune. The key is that she is not the first daughter of the Lu family. According to her seniority, she has already passed through five clothes, so she is not among the three clans."

"Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending to be confused? Ordinary people lose their family ties after the third service, but the aristocratic family is different. They are more cohesive. Even after the tenth service, they often regard themselves as the children of the family." Li Shimin said.

This is normal, ordinary people's families are poor, and it is not easy to take care of themselves, so they have no time to take care of other poor relatives, so after three clothes and five clothes, the family relationship is very weak.

Family is different, in most cases the status of 'son of family' can bring them huge benefits.With common interests, the cohesion of the family will be stronger. Even after the fifth server, they often regard themselves as children of a certain family.

So even though Fang Xuanling's wife had already been married to Dimai according to her seniority, she still regarded herself as Fan Yang Lu, and she married Fang Xuanling in this capacity.

But here comes the problem, since you have enjoyed the benefits brought by the status of 'son of a family', you have to bear the consequences of the family's downfall.

It would be fine if she married an ordinary person, but Fang Xuanling was different, he was the prime minister, and any emperor would not tolerate such a situation.

It was because Fang Xuanling was a hero of Xuanwumen that Li Shimin would give him a chance to divorce his wife.If it were a minister with ordinary feelings, even if he divorced his wife, he would not even think about being a prime minister.

Yue Shan naturally understood this truth, and to be honest, he didn't want to be this lobbyist either.But Fang Xuanling personally begged to come here, and promised to sever his wife from the family, so he decided to come and give it a try.

After all, Fang Xuanling was good in the original history, and there are not many records about Mrs. Fang, but just a 'jealousy' stalk is enough for him to help.

"Since the sage knows that the aristocratic family is more cohesive, he should understand that just the Yi tribe cannot really eliminate them. The killing by the imperial court will instead make them report to the group for warmth and become more united, and they will hate the imperial court even more in private." Yue Shan said:
"The power of the aristocratic family goes deep into the people. Once they turn light into darkness, the damage to the court will only be greater."

Li Shimin also understood this truth, and asked back with a slight frown, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Only then did Yue Shan speak out the rhetoric he had prepared: "The best way is to divide and dissolve."

"How to divide it?"

"That's why I asked the sage to spare Mrs. Fang, provided that she has to announce that she has severed any relationship with Mrs. Lu."

"Severing ties? That's it? Haha..." Li Shimin said disappointedly, "I thought it was a good idea. How can you ensure that they really sever ties instead of talking about it?"

"It doesn't matter whether they really severed ties with the family, what we need is for them to express their views publicly." Yue Shan said confidently:
"As we said just now, the imperial court's arrest of the direct lineages of Cui and Lu's clans has made everyone in the world understand that the so-called aristocratic families are only touted, and they have long since lost the strength of their ancestors."

"At this time, the branches of Cui Lu's family stepped up and announced to sever ties with the family. No matter whether it is true or not, what will people in the world think when they see it?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin showed a thoughtful expression.

Yue Shan continued: "The aristocratic family is originally a bird in the same forest, and when a disaster comes, they fly separately. Whether to cling to the identity of the children of the aristocratic family and live as a mouse in the dark, or change to the identity of an ordinary person and live openly, I believe most people will choose the latter."

"Even if they still have feelings for the family at the beginning, they still want to revive the family. When they get used to the new identity and have children and property, this kind of thinking will inevitably disappear slowly."

"It won't take a few years for the former aristocratic family status to be hidden in the bottom of my heart and completely become a memory. They will use their new identities to continue to contribute to the prosperity of Datang."

"I don't know if the sage thinks the method I said makes sense?"

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "I take back what I just said, you are indeed a qualified lobbyist."

"It's all sages and sages, so I have the opportunity to be a good lobbyist." Yue Shan said happily.

Li Shimin smiled, and said seriously: "Your solution is good but not enough. You also need to let those who have declared separation from the family move away from their ancestral land, and they are not allowed to communicate with each other."

Yue Shan also had to admire Li Shimin, he hit the nail on the head.

The Chinese are most particular about returning leaves to their roots, and this "root" refers to the place where our ancestors lived for generations.

Continue to let the children of the family live in the ancestral land, then they still share the same 'root', and it doesn't matter what breaks up the family.

Migrating them to all parts of the world is equivalent to tearing their roots apart.When these dismantled 'roots' re-grow as a 'new root' in a new place, the family really falls apart.

There are not many such things in history.

Let's take the Yueshan family as an example. Their family migrated from Qingshui County, Longyou to the vicinity of the capital, and they have little connection with the Yue surname in their hometown.

Yueshan became the county marquis, and the Yue surnames of the four surnames Ping all benefited.His family, Weng Yue and Erwa, benefited the most. Those cousins ​​were all helping Yueshan to guard the manor or working in the academy. All the cousins ​​were sent to the academy to study, and the junior girls also invited their husbands to teach in the family academy.

But the uncles and uncles in his hometown in Qingshui County basically didn't get much benefit.

No one would say that Yue Shan was too mean to the people in his hometown, because from the day they moved to the capital, they had little relationship with the people in their hometown.

If Yue Shan doesn't take care of Yue Erwa's family, he will be ridiculed by the world.

Why?From the day of migration, everyone is no longer the same 'root'.

Therefore, Li Shimin forced the branch of the aristocratic family to move away from the ancestral land, which can be regarded as a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

But there is also a problem...

"It's hard to keep them from contacting, and there's nothing we can do about it by writing letters in private. We can't send someone to monitor them every day, right?"

"As you said just now, it is not necessary for them to have no communication at all, it is only necessary for them to express their views." Li Shimin laughed.

After a little thought, Yue Shan understood Li Shimin's meaning.

There are a lot of people, and even if they contact the family members who have migrated to other places for the sake of confidentiality, it is only a sneaky behavior of a few people in private, and they dare not let others know.

For those who don't know, they have really severed their relationship with the family, and their affection for the family will naturally become weaker and weaker.

Once most people get used to the new life, even if some people still think about the family, there is no way... Some things cannot be controlled by three or two people.

"Also, you can't just let Fang Lu go. You play a show with me. If she passes, let her live. If she doesn't...huh." Li Shimin said again.

　Sorry, it hasn't been updated for a few days.

　　Or divorce.

　　I don't know if I should be grateful for the cooling-off period. The families of both parties have been persuading me these days, and I really can't bear to look back at the five-year-old child.

　　In the end, it was negotiated to separate the family and not to divorce, that is to say, she lives hers and I live mine, and the two parties will not interfere with each other.Take a while to see the situation.

　　If you can remember the other person's goodness and correct some problems, then continue to live.

　　if……

　　It will be updated in the next few days, and all that was pulled down in the previous few days will be added.
