I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Li Zhao pretended to be dissatisfied: "What's wrong? Speak."

A girl with a bun on her hair in Luoshui Manor hurriedly said, "Replying to Xuanzun, we have no other intentions, but we are a little surprised to hear His Majesty Yandi suddenly ask this."

An old man wearing a black scarf said: "Walking marriage is a rare thing. In the past, we always married men and women, but suddenly we changed to walking marriage. I'm not used to it."

"So we rarely talk about things related to walking marriage in public. Your Majesty just asked us a question, but we didn't respond. Please forgive us, the two gods."

Li Zhao: “…………”

Ah, these Chinese people have been reserved all their lives, but have given birth to more than one billion people.

The common people laughed and said, "There is no big problem with walking marriage. We usually let our daughters marry the second or third sons of other families. Anyway, they can marry wives, but they can't get any land and can only work in the workshop."

Otani asked knowingly, "What about your eldest son? Won't he marry someone else?"

An old woman said, "The eldest son will inherit the family business, so he must marry a wife to continue the family line. The other daughters-in-law cannot get any land, but the eldest son's wife and the daughters who are still married can get some land."

"Although life on the farm is better now, it is impossible to feed an unlimited population."

“So in order to control the population, the managers set up rules through the agricultural cooperatives and the trade unions.”

"Now you can't just marry a wife or marry a daughter off casually. Otherwise you will be fined and expelled from the agricultural commune, union and farm. As a result, there are more cases of marriage by walking away."

Speaking of this, an old woman stood up angrily and said loudly: "Xuanzun, I have a case and I want to report it to you. Please make the decision!"

Li Zhao glanced at her and said, "Come forward now."

The old woman pulled a young woman and a little boy in a blue robe, who was about one or two years old, and knelt down as soon as they came forward.

The little goddess frowned: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The old woman was furious: "This is my family's business! Xuanzun doesn't know, I am a civilian household outside Luoshui Manor, I came to the manor half a month ago, my family was originally a military household, my husband and son all died of illness, only a daughter is left."

"Although my family has fallen on hard times and I don't have many relatives, I still have some assets, so I want to find a son-in-law to marry and continue my family's lineage."

"Who would have thought that this beast had promised well in front of the master, but would go against his will after the marriage was over? My daughter and I had worked so hard to raise the child until he was over a year old, but he gathered his clansmen and shouted that the child should recognize his ancestors and return to his roots, and wanted to take the child away!"

Everyone was shocked. This man's thoughts were obvious to everyone!

A voice rang out from the crowd: "Aren't we just going to pick peaches?!"

Those who followed Yu Dou Xuan Zun had different opinions.

Pei Xuan frowned: "Walking marriages are all written and stamped in front of the head of the village and the elders of the same clan. Can you deny it?"

Di Renjie was always upright and incorruptible. He was also angry when he heard this: "A man without integrity cannot stand. If you don't keep your word, what kind of man are you!"

A male official said, "A father's grace is as great as heaven. Since the child has his father's blood, it is not out of the ordinary for him to recognize his ancestry."

Ruyi was so angry at his words that she laughed: "Father's grace? What father's grace? The greatest grace in the world is the grace of a mother giving birth to a child and a father raising him."

"This man is a walking marriage, he doesn't live with the woman's family during the day, the child was raised by the grandmother and mother, he never took care of them, now that the child is grown up, he comes to pick peaches?"

Ruyi angrily rebuked the male official who spoke: "This is outrageous!"

The male official touched his nose awkwardly and did not dare to retort.

Ever since she scolded Hao Shaochangbo, Wu Wenxue's temper has become worse and worse, and anyone who dares to argue with her will be scolded.

When the old woman came out to complain, a man in the crowd broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced around quietly and stepped back.

Qing Luan was sharp-eyed. She saw a man in the crowd trying to run away and immediately said, "Catch the man in the white robe over there! He's trying to run!"

The people came to their senses and immediately took action, holding down the man and bringing him before Xuan Zun.

The old woman who complained glared at him angrily, "They are so numerous and powerful that I had no choice but to sell my property and leave my ancestral land. I moved to Luoshui Manor and lived in the staff dormitory of the weaving workshop."

"With Zhuangzi's protection, they dare not act rashly."

When Lu Bicheng and He Xiangning first designed the manor system, they considered the issue of resettlement of outsiders.

The staff dormitory of the weaving workshop is to accommodate newcomers like the old woman who have no roots in the village.

Li Zhao nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Huaiying, bring my order and ask the Luoyang judge to come here and announce the verdict in public, so that the people will know the power of the national law."

"Yes." Di Renjie, whose courtesy name was Huaiying, mounted his horse and left after receiving the order.

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and she pulled her daughter and grandson to kowtow, "Thank you so much, Master Xuanzun!"

This time, Li Zhao did not intend to judge the case.

The judicial power belongs to the government. In the past, when the circumstances were special, it was okay for her to step in and do things beyond her authority. However, in the long run, this is not a good thing and will cause her a lot of trouble.

If Yudou Xuanzun were to take care of this trivial matter this time, it might foster arrogance among the farmers, making them think that only Xuanzun was qualified to punish them.

If the farmers become arrogant and do something irreparable, Li Zhao will be in trouble.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

The Luoyang judge came very quickly, bringing with him a few runners from the government office.

As soon as he arrived, he dismounted and, with his men, greeted Xuanzun first: "I greet Your Majesty."

Li Zhao raised his hand to exempt him from the formalities: "No need to be polite, you will judge this case."

Luoyang Fa Cao bowed and replied: "I obey your command."

He turned to the old woman and said, "Old lady, what is your name and what is your grievance?"

The old woman repeated her original words, and Luoyang Facao twisted his beard and nodded: "I understand."

Luoyang Facao looked at the man who broke his promise and said sternly, "Wang Erhei, is what Grandma He said true?"

Wang Erhei opened his mouth and was about to argue, but the policeman behind Luoyang Facao pounded the killing stick to the ground, and he immediately became as cowardly as a quail.

Wang Erhei was dejected: "I plead guilty. I just want a child..."

Luoyang Facao sneered: "Then why don't you just go and find a wife yourself?"

"Since you have signed a marriage contract and continued her family line, you won't be looked down upon by the son-in-law, and you don't have to carry the child for ten months, let alone raise it. Now you want to take advantage of others and get something for nothing?"

"Wang Erhei, do you dare to break the contract signed in front of the Great Heavenly Venerable Nuwa and the head of the village?"

Luoyang Fa Cao shouted angrily: "According to the imperial edicts of the two emperors, the Tang Law Commentary newly defines the marriage law. Wang Erhei deceived Zhang He, the wife of the Zhang family, into marriage. Afterwards, he gathered his own clansmen and threatened the widowed mother and weak daughter many times, trying to take her son away. His crime is not light!"

"According to the law, you are sentenced to fifty lashes and two years in prison!"

Wang Erhei’s face turned pale and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Granny He and her daughter Zhang He were extremely delighted and kowtowed to Li Zhao: "Thank you, Xuanzun, for upholding justice for us!"

The onlookers saw with their own eyes that Wang Erhei was pinned to the ground and beaten with fifty sticks, until his buttocks were swollen.

This verdict gave the people a profound warning, and fewer people dared to disrupt walking marriages.

Li Zhao’s next stop was Yunzhou, where her Datong Villa and Daoshi Villa were located.

She turned on the live broadcast and smiled at the camera.

"Yunzhou is the future Datong of Shanxi."

“Where the world’s great harmony begins.”
