Mohist Tang

With the passage of time, news of Empress Zhangsun’s serious illness has spread more and more, and has even spread to the public, which can not help but cast a shadow over the Spring Festival of Zhenguan’s ten years.

Numerous officials were originally filled with righteous indignation. They were waiting for the first time that the impeach Mohist Family Son prenuptial agreement of the Imperial Court Great Assembly was very good, but they were suddenly enlightened by Fang Xuanling, the head of the numerous officials. Ask for the instructions to amnesty the world and save people and enter the Tao.

“Pray for the Imperial Consort Empress! And it is His Royal Highness Crown Prince who takes the lead.” Numerous officials heard this and were enthusiastic. How could they miss such a major event of political correctness.

At the moment, numerous officials are fighting night and fighting, and they are all ready to show their talents at the first Imperial Court Great Assembly.

Soon, the tenth day of the first lunar month came as scheduled, and the first Imperial Court Great Assembly officially began.

“See your Majesty!”

In the Hall of Tai Chi, numerous officials gathered!

“All of you may rise!” Li Shimin said tiredly, even if Empress Zhangsun was seriously ill, but as an emperor, Li Shimin also had no choice. After all, national affairs were the most important.

“The plan for a year lies in the spring. At the beginning of the Great Tang New Year, the three provinces and six departments must work hard…” Li Shimin said loudly, orderly arranging the affairs of the court.

The officials from the three provinces and six ministries took the orders one after another. Everyone could see that Li Shimin was a little absent-minded. Everyone noticeably accelerated the speed and soon arranged the political arrangements.

“If something happens, retreat if nothing happens!” Pang De screamed when he saw it.

“The minister has this performance!” Yu Zhining immediately went out.

“Quick!” Li Shimin waved his hand.

“The minister asked Impeach Mohist Family Son to corrupt customs and advocate prenuptial agreements, which led to civil chaos, but within ten days, countless people repented of their marriages. The Mohist Family’s disaster to the people is really a heinous crime.” Yu Zhining accused.

Li Shimin is naturally prepared. He has reminded Mo Dun that there will be this tribulation before. Now he said loudly: “Mo Dun, what do you want to say?”

“Master Yu talked for a long time, but A certain Mohist didn’t understand it. This prenuptial agreement is that A certain Mohist implemented in Mohist Village is the internal matter of the Mohist Family. Could it be that the adults interfered?” Mo Dun reluctantly stepped out and asked loudly.

Yu Zhining coldly snorted and said: “The old man of the Mohist Family will naturally not interfere with the internal affairs of the Mohist Family, but if social disturbances are caused by your Mohist Family, the old man will take care of it. Old man requests Your Majesty ordered the abolition of the prenuptial agreement.”

Mo Dun said loudly: “Dare to be an adult, this prenuptial agreement has violated that law.”

Yu Zhining Suffering, he immediately argued: “Although the prenuptial agreement did not violate the Great Tang law, it violated the customs and led to the destruction of countless marriages. Shouldn’t these crimes be counted on your Mohist Family?”

“Of course, within ten days, thousands of marriages in Chang’an City will be destroyed. If it continues to spread, more marriage contracts will be destroyed in your hands throughout the country.” An Imperial Censor said angrily. He has done a lot of homework, and the more he understands how powerful the destructive power of the prenuptial agreement mentioned by Mo Dun is.

“Yes, what’s more, many men have broken their marriages three times in a row, all because of you.” An official said angrily. His son was one of the victims, and he naturally treated Mo Dun gnashing teeth.

The Entire Court officials couldn’t help but burst into an uproar. They naturally knew that Mo Dun had broken the marriage three times but they didn’t expect so many bad luck eggs, which made people laugh and laugh.

Mo Dun was also a little stunned. He couldn’t help but face ashamed and said: “For this matter, the official is deeply ashamed, but he will never regret it. What he does is beneficial to the world.”

Whether he opposes the marriage of close relatives or the sale of marriage, Mo Dun is a prenuptial agreement that includes this time, and it is absolutely right to maintain absolute monogamy.

“It’s good for the world, it’s ridiculous!” Yu Zhining coldly snorted and said.

“In the last years of the previous dynasty, there was a great chaos, the people were not living, the men and the dead were not counted, leaving a large number of women and children unattended. If everyone insists on absolutely monogamy, those women and children who have no power to bind chickens How to survive, if concubines are forbidden, how can the population of Imperial Court recover.”

Yu Zhining sneered in his heart, dont you Mohist Family Son like to argue with facts? Today, he will truthfully tell the status quo of Great Tang. Tell me what you can say, Mohist Family Son.

Yu Zhining finished speaking, Entire Court civil and military have echoed one after another. This is indeed the status quo of Great Tang. If Great Tang wants to quickly recover the population, then it is impossible to ban concubines, and the civil and military are only weak. Women and children cannot live independently, they can only depend on men.

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “This is the status quo during the founding of Great Tang. Now that Great Tang has been founded for nearly 20 years, the women and children left by the so-called war-damaged men are all old. This situation does not exist for men and women of the new generation. After the government built a womens and childrens hospital for the princess, thousands of children have been delivered to Ch_ngn women and children. According to Statistics, the male to female ratio is five to five, that is, a boy is born. There will be a girl born. If someone has three wives and four concubines, six boys will become bachelors. If everyone imitates three wives and four concubines, in time, Great Tang will not be able to marry a wife everywhere, according to Statistics There are tens of thousands of men around Ch_ng’n alone who cannot marry a wife, and so on. There are at least a million bachelors in the whole country. These people are alone and have no family ties. Given time, they will surely cause chaos and violate national laws.”

Yu Zhining argued with facts, while Mo Dun also refuted with facts. The problem of bachelor is not only in the future. In the era of polygamy, Great Tangs problem of bachelor should not be underestimated. The previous Mohist Village is the best example.

Of course, in Great Tangs historical verdicts, the proportion of bachelor offenders is indeed very high, especially the wicked ones, who are mostly alone. Ministry of Justice High Official Li Daozong on the side. Exclaimed.

“No, crime is a moral issue of criminals, not whether to marry a wife or not. The two cannot be confused, nor can they be characterized by this, and what we are talking about today is a matter of prenuptial agreement “Yu Zhining retorted.

Although Yu Zhennings words are reasonable, everyone knows that with family ties, if they commit crimes, they will think twice. This is inevitable.

Mo Dun seriously said: “The prenuptial agreement is to protect the Mohist Familys monogamy. Whether its monogamous or three wives and four concubines, its my choice, others Even parents cannot interfere.”

“However, the prenuptial agreement signed by Mohist Village has led countless men and women in Chang’an City to follow suit and destroy their marriage contracts! Popular grievances are high, this is public opinion! Public opinion cannot be violated!” Yu Zhining hijacked the Imperial Court with public opinion and scolded angrily.

Mo Dun said with a smile: “Then these engagements were torn by A certain Mohist? It must be the man who wants three wives and four concubines, and the woman who wants monogamy, the world The women of’s are not willing to three wives and four concubines. This is also public opinion, and public opinion cannot be violated!”

Yu Zhining uses public opinion to threaten, Mo Dun also uses public opinion to refute, the two are a pin against an awl , Not giving up.

“Furthermore, why a man can marry a lot of women is common to everyone, and a woman, in turn, has a lot of men is a big sin, so only monogamy is the ultimate way either ethically or emotionally . I believe that one day, monogamy will prevail in this land. Mo Dun said loudly.

Yu Zhining coldly snorted and said: “It’s ridiculous. Have you ever seen a teapot with four cups, have you ever seen a cup with four teapots?”

Mo Dun Can’t help being stunned, he even heard the famous teapot theory in Great Tang.

“How can a teapot be compared with people? That’s just a man’s excuse for his own desires. Just ask the world, that father is willing to let his daughter become someone else’s concubine, and live a precarious life. There is no name and no points, and even the child born has no inheritance rights.” Mo Dun asked all around, looking around.

numerous officials can’t help but bow their heads with a guilty conscience. With their status, their daughters will be the first wives when they get married. If they are passed out as concubines, they may not be able to raise their heads in front of the numerous officials, but even My daughter is a regular wife, and I dont want my son-in-law to have three wives and four concubines.

“This is indeed also a social problem!” Li Shimin said solemnly. His voice was not to support Mo Dun, but to prepare for the promotion of the second tweet in the future. The second tweet allowed the children to divide the family property, and naturally also took into account the child of the concubine.

“Your Majesty, there has not been a prenuptial agreement since ancient times. It is all because of the birth of Mohist Family Son. If it is not prevented, it will definitely mess up the Great Tang marriage major event. Your Majesty is requested to order the abolition of the prenuptial agreement. “Yu Zhining screamed.

“Also, Master Fang did not sign a prenuptial agreement, and he still stayed with Madam for his whole life. Is it monogamous or three wives and four concubines? It’s all based on personal ethics. How can there be a contract bound by it? , It’s a big joke.” An Imperial Censor said boldly.

In an instant, everyone focused their attention on Fang Xuanling, and everyone realized that there was another anomaly among them, that was Fang Xuanling, even if it was a high authority, but still guarding The married wife stays together for life.

“Minister Fang, what do you think of this matter?” Li Shimin turned his mind and said loudly.

Fang Xuanling was taken aback, he did not expect to burn the fire on his body, and now pondered then said: “Whether it is monogamous or three wives and four concubines is a private matter and personal choice of the people The so-called minister thinks that it is better not to interfere, otherwise it will be thankless.”

Li Shimin couldn’t help but froze, and then suddenly, it is true. If most men support three wives and four concubines, while women In favor of monogamy, no matter which party the Imperial Court supports, the best result is not to interfere.

And as Mo Dun said, Great Tang has passed the age of imbalance between men and women. The ratio of men to women in the new generation has become more balanced. At this time, monogamy is also popular. As for the desire for three For wives and four concubines, the Imperial Court neither opposes nor supports it, it depends on the mans ability.

“The prenuptial agreement is a private private contract. Both men and women sign it voluntarily. One party is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. This matter does not need to be discussed!” Li Shimin waved his hand.

If monogamy really prevails, it will solve Great Tangs bachelor problem, which is also good for the rule of the Imperial Court, and Li Shimin is naturally happy to see it.

“Follow Your Majesty’s order!” Although Yu Zhining was dissatisfied, he did not entangle him. After all, they still have more important things to do today.
