Datang Institute of Technology

As soon as Xu Changsheng went out with Li Chengqian's token, Li Chengqian's valet knelt down in the room.

They have been with the prince since childhood, and they can be said to be the most trusted people of the prince.

"Your Highness, this subordinate dares to say that something is wrong with this matter."

Li Chengqian remained expressionless, bowed his head and continued to review the memorial.

The servant gritted his teeth, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty intends to choose a concubine for you, and many of them are within the three generations of close relatives mentioned by Mr. Xu."

When Xu Changsheng and Li Chengqian were discussing just now, he stood aside and listened, so he knew exactly what Xu Changsheng was going to do.

But this will put the prince in a very dangerous position.

Within three generations of close relatives, the prince can offend many people, and they are all those who loyally support the prince. Those people who marry the prince are largely for the purpose of consolidating the prince's position.

Not to mention, in addition to this, Xu Jiazi also pointed out that women who marry too early are like committing suicide.

It's so hard to die, all the concubines candidates for the crown prince are within the scope of early marriage that Xu Jiazi said.

Regardless of whether the Xu family is successful or not, everyone will see that the Xu family is using the status of the crown prince to oversee the country, and is mobilizing various departments to cooperate with him in handling this matter. What will the married families think?

You don't need to guess, you all know that you will definitely feel that the prince is not satisfied with this marriage and is trying to shirk it.

Since ancient times, women have been married in this way, but the prince thinks it is not possible. This is challenging the established secular ethics.

It will chill the hearts of those families who are planning to marry with their East Palace.

So, don't underestimate this matter, a bad one will make the prince and the family he originally supported alienated, and even make the prince bear a bad reputation for ignoring etiquette.

Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "So what if what Xu Jiazi said is true? Could it be that in order to consolidate this position, he just ignored them and pushed them into the abyss of death? How can he continue to be the leader of the Tang Dynasty?" Crown Prince?"

The valet opened his mouth, even though he said so, doesn't the prince think about himself?

Without the support of these marriage families, how can the prince maintain his current advantage among the many princes.

Li Chengqian said, "Go on, let Xu Jiazi handle this matter, whether Xu Jiazi is right or not depends on the results of his investigation."

At this time, Xu Changsheng was going to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials with Li Chengqian's token. He wanted to borrow someone to collect the big data in the fastest possible time. It might save a few more lives in a moment.

Xu Changsheng rode on Dabai's back, holding a token, "Everyone, please accept the order of the prince, and as the prince to supervise the country, I hope that the Ministry of Rites will fully cooperate with me."

All the officials were stunned, Xu Jiazi was actually using the prince's right to supervise the country.

In the end what happened?

Since the prince supervised the country, this was the first time he exercised his power to supervise the country.

At this time, this token can be said to be equivalent to Li Shimin's imperial decree, unless Li Er personally rejects it, any official in the Tang Dynasty must obey it.

A group of officials tidied up their clothes one after another, and said respectfully, "I accept the order of the crown prince. If you have any orders, I will fully cooperate with the Ministry of Rites and Officials."

Xu Changsheng needs a lot of people to help him sort out the data, and now is not the time to be polite.

It's just that when he led a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to the Chang'an Yamen, it caused a lot of commotion.

The people were amazed, so many officials, and officials from different departments, why did they all follow behind the Xu family, what were they doing, and what happened?

The people were left guessing.

And the officials who called the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, the news spread into the palace immediately.

Li Shimin was stunned, "The crown prince used the power of supervising the country and asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to fully cooperate with him?"

"Yes."

Li Shimin frowned. The six ministries of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty actually used two of them directly, and they still went to the Chang'an Yamen under the Ministry of Punishment, which means that at least three ministries were involved in this matter.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to the East Palace to inquire?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, then shook his head. He asked Li Chengqian to supervise the country at the beginning to train him. Now that Li Chengqian used the status of supervisor of the country for the first time, he wanted to see what he wanted to do.

This matter spread uproariously, and soon the news spread to the mansion of the Baiguan of the Tang Dynasty.

Some people looked like they were waiting for a good show. If the crown prince did not handle it properly, there would be a good show to watch, which would definitely make the whole court quarrel.

There are no small matters in the royal family, especially with an identity like the crown prince. I don’t know how many people are spying on it. I originally thought that the prince’s supervision of the country was just a symbol of status. He was just helping His Majesty to review some memorials, and he was learning how to govern the country.

Unexpectedly, the prince actually used this power.

Supervising the country, as the name suggests, at this time, Li Chengqian is able to control the operation of the entire country. It can be said that he is exercising all powers on behalf of His Majesty, and is at the pinnacle of power.

Of course, there are also many people who are worried, and these people are the ones who fully support the prince.

For example, Changsun Wuji walked back and forth in the room upset and irritable.

Why did the prince make such a monster at this time?

Because the prince and Xu Jiazi cured the big neck disease in Jiangnan Road, and used the Longtian method to increase the rice yield by three times, now is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow, even if he does nothing, no one can shake his position now.

Changsheng Wuji was extremely anxious, the person sent out to inquire about the news had already returned, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said, "How?"

"It happened suddenly, and I can find out very little information. I only know that Xu Jiazi suddenly ran to the East Palace. After a long talk with His Highness, he took His Highness's token and went to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. I'm afraid there is only Only Xu Jiazi, the crown prince and the prince's closest servants know about it."

As for inquiring about the news from those servants, it's fine, even if they die, they can't reveal a word.

Changsheng Wuji frowned, Xu Jiazi?

If it was someone else, he might be able to guess a thing or two, but for Xu Jiazi, he really didn't know how to comment. Xu Jiazi's behavior has always been confusing, and he can only use one word to describe it... demon!

So it's time to wait until tomorrow.

This scene also happened in many official residences. I don't know how many people are guessing, what are the crown prince and Xu Jiazi doing?

There are so many officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, but they have been busy all night, all night long, and the lights have not been extinguished.

The eyes of the whole Chang'an seemed to be watching them and the movements of the East Palace.

However, everything seemed so calm, but everyone knew that there was definitely a storm brewing in the calm.

It is impossible for the prince to use the power of supervising the country for no reason. Once he uses it, if he does not come up with a reason to convince everyone, he will be attacked and wiped out by countless opponents.

the next day.

Still as usual, before dawn, all the officials arrived at the gate of the palace to wait for the court.

The difference is that when everyone met, they didn't greet each other very much. Instead, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and probably only they themselves knew about the disturbance.

The door of the imperial palace opened, and all the officials walked up to the golden palace as usual, and Li Shimin sat on it as usual.

"If there is something to do, go to court, if there is nothing to do." The old man shouted with a drake voice.

At this time, all eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, were on Li Chengqian.

Everything seemed to be on hold, waiting for Li Chengqian to explain what happened yesterday, even Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian.

Today, Xu Changsheng did not stand where he could not see at the door, but stood beside Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian came out as everyone expected, and nothing could be seen from his expressionless face. This boy, although he was still very young, revealed a sense of stability and maturity that only adults have.

"Father, my son has something to play."

When it came, everyone narrowed their eyes and pricked up their ears.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian glanced at Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng quickly took out a large stack of papers in his hand, handed over a copy to the father-in-law above, and asked him to present it to His Majesty.

Then he personally handed out a copy of the paper in his hand in the Golden Palace.

The whole body is small, but it looks particularly hasty and serious. Every time I send out a copy, I respectfully say, "Please read it carefully, my lord."

That respect seemed to be contagious, and made all the officials who took the paper more cautious.

After Xu Changsheng sent out, he returned to Li Chengqian's side.

Li Shimin and Baiguan looked at the paper in their hands, and couldn't help frowning. What does the prince mean, isn't this a death record?What is the mystery in it?

There are two copies of paper, two large copies.

Most of the deceased in the first record were women, and... they were all very young.

Looking at the cause of death, everyone couldn't help but tremble, all of them had one dead body and two lives.

Why did the prince put such a weird and unlucky thing in the court?

I don't know how many people feel chills in their hearts.

Even Li Shimin's face is not particularly good-looking.

After all, it was still a relatively superstitious dynasty, and theocracy even occupied a large proportion.

If such an unlucky thing is brought to the court, anyone will feel uncomfortable.

Changsun Wuji's body is trembling, the prince... the prince is afraid this time...

Someone couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "I wonder what His Royal Highness is showing me this thing for?"

"The prince made this thing yesterday after working hard?"

Puzzled, there are quite a few people watching the show.

Using the identity of the supervisor of the country, it is actually such a weird thing.

Even the person who wanted to speak for Li Chengqian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Li Chengqian said directly, "Indeed, what I troubled the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to help organize yesterday was exactly what you were holding."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the prince actually admitted it, no matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be well prepared.

Well, the prince has always had this character and expression.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Chengqian, "Explain clearly to everyone, what is your intention?"

Li Chengqian clasped his fists, "This is the list of women who died with one body and two lives compiled yesterday by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. What you adults are holding is only this year's list. If you are interested, you can do it after the court." Ask me for a detailed list over the years."

Everyone couldn't help being shocked, this is just a list of Chang'an who died of one corpse and two lives within a year?

But the quantity...a lot, a whole stack.

An official asked, "Even so, what's the point? There are already many women who died in my Tang Dynasty."

what?There are many women who give birth and die?

Xu Changsheng's face turned blue.

Before Li Chengqian could answer, he stood up, "My lords, if you look carefully, there are indeed many women who gave birth and died, but don't you find anything strange?"

Everyone was taken aback, is there really something strange?Injustice?This is impossible.

I couldn't help but read it for a while longer, flipping through it over and over again, but it was just a simple death record.

At this time, a small official muttered softly, "Most of the dead women are relatively young."

Everyone was stunned, looked at it, really, if they didn't pay attention, they thought they were all young girls, in fact, there were some girls of other ages mixed in, but the number was too small, so they didn't find it for a while.

Many people frowned, what could this mean?

Baiguan, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't understand.

Xu Changsheng was heartbroken, "Don't you understand after reading this? Why are the two dead young women?"

Xu Changsheng's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears in the Golden Temple, "According to statistics, the mortality rate of those who conceive and give birth at the age of 12 to 50.00 is... [-]%."

"For those who give birth between the ages of twelve and thirteen, the mortality rate is... 13%."

"Thirteen to four-year-old childbirth, the mortality rate... 20.00%."

"..."

"The death rate for those who are sixteen to give birth is 5.00%."

The entire court hall was filled with Xu Changsheng's voice.

Many people were still in a daze, while some people were shocked and checked the information in their hands over and over again.

This is a statistic from Chang'an Yamen, and there will never be a fake.

Whenever Xu Changsheng talked about the death rate, I don't know how many people tremble in their hearts. The death rate is so high...

In ancient times, giving birth was already very dangerous, let alone young, it was really a fight against the sky.

Xu Changsheng's statistics are very convincing, almost irrefutable.

Xu Changsheng continued talking for a long time before he took a deep breath, "My lords, do you understand? It is always dangerous for women to give birth, especially for young women. That is to let them die, let the people of Datang die innocently. .”

There was a sound of throwing the ground, and the whole court was shocked, trembling a little while holding the documents in his hand, sending innocent to death?

They looked at each other with chills in their hearts, "How could this be?"

"These records come from Chang'an household registration, so they must not be faked."

"The death rate is so high. We usually see this kind of thing, but we have never counted it. It is so high."

"Why on earth is this?"

Many people looked at Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng cupped his hands, "My lords, this only shows that young women are not yet fully grown and are not suitable for childbearing."

Everyone was stunned, is this the reason?

Xu Changsheng said, "Letting them marry and have children at a young age is murdering their lives."

Everyone was shocked again, even Li Shimin was shocked, but the statistics in hand proved that Xu Jiazi's statement was not wrong. There are living examples, and there are countless examples.

At this time, Li Chengqian clasped his hands and said, "Father, my son begged my father to revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Any underage girl under the age of 18 is not allowed to marry. Any violation will be regarded as murder."

18, this was proposed by Xu Changsheng. In his opinion, 18 is actually considered early birth and early childbearing.

The court officials looked at each other, it turned out that His Royal Highness did not hesitate to use his status as supervisor of the country yesterday to amend the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The law of the Tang Dynasty is a code of conduct, and it is generally not allowed to be modified.

Someone came to his senses, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. Our Tang Dynasty is in need of a population. If we limit women to 18 years old to marry, it will greatly reduce my fertility in the Tang Dynasty. If things go on like this, won't it be..."

Xu Changsheng looked at this person seriously. There are some things that he cannot compromise on, even if he offends some people.

"Master Wu in Dali? Master Wu was also born in the imperial examination. Didn't he learn arithmetic? Or don't he understand the tragedy of human relations? It's only a few years late for a woman to give birth after 18. If she gets married and gives birth early, there is a high probability of death. Wu Do you dare to be responsible? Besides, in terms of population, it is called population when it is born normally, and it is nothing when it dies. Moreover, nowadays, as a woman in Tang Dynasty, I usually raise a few children. As long as it is safe If we are alive, that is the best way to increase the population of our Great Tang."

"You...arguing." Dali's face darkened, and he was asked to be responsible. How could he be responsible? It has not always been like this since ancient times, and he said, "It has been like this in all dynasties and dynasties since ancient times, but Xu Jiazi wants to change the etiquette and laws on his own. I don't know what An's heart is?"

"What's on your mind?" Xu Changsheng smiled, "I just want to ask Mr. Wu what's on his mind. As far as I know, Mr. Wu's son is going to marry the youngest daughter of General Mingwei's family, right? I think Changsheng is broken You cling to the road of power? The youngest daughter of General Mingwei’s family is only thirteen now, and I don’t know how General Mingwei will feel when he knows that you don’t care about his daughter’s life in order to cling to wealth and honor?”

Madam Zhengwu of Dali was so angry that his face turned black, "You... Your Majesty, Minister Shen Xuan Yilang speaks without restraint, casually slandering the innocence of this official."

Xu Changsheng, "My information has been clearly calculated, and the reasoning is also clear. You disregarded the life and death of my Tang Dynasty woman, and opposed it on the grounds of the etiquette laws and regulations of the past dynasties. According to what you said, should we abide by it? The etiquette and codes of ancient ancestors who lived in caves and ate raw meat are even older."

Compete against each other.

Seeing that the quarrel was about to start, Li Shimin said, "That's enough, the Golden Palace is not for quarreling. Since everyone has an argument, let's discuss it."

Xu Changsheng thought that since his evidence was presented and the reasoning made clear, everyone should be aware of the harm of early marriage and early childbearing.

but……

What he didn't expect was that the Golden Palace was actually divided into two factions that were evenly matched.

One faction took his side, thinking that the facts are all there, and delaying the age of marriage is imperative. As Xu Jiazi said, marrying too early is to let them die. I don’t know how many human tragedies it will cause. Well, the evidence is all here.

The other faction actually refuses to accept it on the grounds that it has been the case since ancient times, hastily changed it, and does not know what consequences it will cause.

Xu Changsheng was dumbfounded.

Don't they even understand the simplest truth?

What's more, Xu Changsheng was even more surprised that there were actually several officials who had always supported Li Chengqian among those who were opposing.

Xu Changsheng's heart moved, and he suddenly understood something. These officials seem to have rumors that their youngest daughters are married to Li Chengqian. Recently, there have indeed been a lot of news that they are choosing a concubine for Li Chengqian. The prince, there must be more than one concubine. one.

If the 18-year-old regulation is passed, none of the youngest daughters of these families can meet the requirements.

To them, failing to cling to the crown prince is simply cutting off their official careers, so how could they agree.

Others are probably because their children have long been married with different purposes, but they must not be allowed to be destroyed and hinder their development, so they will definitely not agree.

Xu Changsheng had a wry smile on his face. He originally thought that as long as he explained the serious relationship clearly, he would be able to pass quickly, but he didn't expect this to happen.

Yes, it seems like a simple postponement of marriage age, but the complex relationship in it affects the whole body.

However, there are some things that he can't give up.

Looking at the two factions who were arguing red-faced, Xu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Then looking at the person who jumped the highest on the opposite side, Xu Changsheng took out a stack of papers from his arms and turned it over, and then looked over, "Master Lu, Taichang Shaoqing, last March, the daughter of your elder brother, your daughter My niece, Fang, was 14 years old and died of dystocia. If you are like this now, how will you face your elder brother and lonely sister-in-law when you go back? Do you want more tragedies to be reconciled to you?"

Xu Changsheng is already sensible enough. If it wasn't for convincing these people, he would jump up and point at each other's nose and scold them. These are all living lives. Did he disregard the lives of others or even his own relatives for the sake of benefit?

Xu Changsheng flipped through the information in his hand, looked at the other person, and said with a heartbroken heart, "Master Xun, the supervisor, you... your little daughter died of dystocia at the age of 13 in May this year. Now you not only have no guilt, If you want to stop this decree, ask yourself, are you worthy of your little daughter who died unjustly?"

Xu Changsheng is not afraid of offending people now.

The information in his hand is the household registration information of some aristocratic families. It was originally removed to protect everyone's privacy and was not intended to be used, but now...

The entire imperial court was quiet. If you look carefully, there is no such tragedy in any family or household in the entire imperial court, even if it did not happen to you, but if you think about it carefully, did it happen to their relatives and friends?

Li Chengqian cupped his hands again and said, "Father, my son begs Father to amend the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Any underage girl under the age of 18 is not allowed to marry. Any violation will be regarded as murder."

Someone wanted to refute, Xu Changsheng stared at him fiercely like a little lion, and then held the documents in his hand.

Don't these people who oppose it have a pang of conscience?

Next time, he absolutely couldn't help yelling.

At this time, a few big bosses who had been watching the situation quietly and had never spoken before finally spoke. Perhaps the quarrel just now seemed to them like a farce, or it might be a reference for them.

Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, I feel that what the crown prince said is very true. This matter is about human life, so how can we ignore it because of etiquette and laws?"

Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up, he finally made sense, old man Fang, you're doing well, I'll give you something nice next time.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "What Prime Minister Fang said is true. Even in terms of developing the population of our Great Tang, anyone who can settle accounts should know what is good."

Changsun Wuji also stood up, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and even affects the future development of our Tang Dynasty. There should indeed be corresponding laws of the Tang Dynasty to regulate it."

Xu Changsheng nodded, who said no, look, the boss is different, he doesn't have to fight with others like him, he was anxious to death just now, and he was still worried about what he would do if he didn't pass.

Changsun Wuji continued, "However, according to the statistics on these materials, it may not necessarily be delayed to 18. According to the data, 16 is also possible."

Xu Changsheng opened his mouth. From his point of view, 18 is considered an early marriage.

At this moment, Li Chengqian glanced at him.

Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, and sighed in his heart, this is ancient times, and it is very rare to delay the marriage until 16.

18 In the eyes of everyone, she is an old girl who cannot be married.

The group of people who originally opposed it gritted their teeth, "Your Majesty, if this regulation is passed, the ministers think that the [-]th is the most suitable, if it is delayed, the impact will be too great."

They are giving in.

Xu Shengsheng sighed, all he could do was here.

A few more bigwigs came out to speak, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Du Ruhui, etc. They could see clearly that Xu Jiazi's evidence was solid, and he was making a living for the women of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what, this regulation will be passed.

So their opinions are the same. This matter must be regulated by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. As for the age of marriage, it can be discussed. improve.

Xu Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief. Although the marriage age was not according to his, it was considered a success.

Li Shimin watched the discussion below, and said, "Order the three provinces and six ministries to revise the Great Tang Law, and publicize the reasons for revising this Great Tang Law."

After all, it is in conflict with the traditional code of ethics, and the reason must be publicized to avoid unnecessary turmoil.

Xu Changsheng was so happy that he laughed.

However, many people glared at Xu Changsheng.

With this move, he did not know how many marriages and interests were destroyed, and how many troubles he would cause.

As the saying goes, move your mouth at the top, and break your legs at the bottom.

Xu Changsheng didn't mind at all, just stare at him, anyway, his goal was almost achieved, and he had a clear conscience.

At this time, Fang Xuanling picked up another document and asked, "I don't know what these records are?"

The rest of the material is a bit more complicated than the last one.

The age of death is different, the gender is different, and even the cause of death is different, and there is no pattern at all. Unlike the previous one, it is clear at a glance that most of the dead are young girls, and there are still two deaths.

Xu Changsheng became serious again, "My lords, please see that although their ages and genders caused their deaths differently, there was one thing in front of them that was the same, that is, they were either physically deformed or mentally incomplete, and most of them died because they were abandoned. wait."

Everyone was stunned, what is the purpose of counting the death rate of disabled people?

But there is a precedent just now, and no one questioned it.

Instead, he looked at Xu Changsheng and Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin also looked at the information in his hand and said, "What's so strange about it? Your statistical method allows us to see some things that we usually ignore."

The emperor is the emperor, and he really has a unique vision.

The others also nodded, just like the fact that the childbirth mortality rate was extremely high just now. Although they had some contact in life, they clearly had a little idea in their hearts, but they were not sure why, but looking at the statistics provided by Xu Jiazi From the data, it can be seen at a glance that the high mortality rate is concentrated in early childbearing. Even if they want to refute it, they have no choice but to accept the reality.

But now this information can't tell anything at all. Even if Xu Jiazi explained just now that these people are all physically deformed or mentally deficient, there is nothing in common except this.

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, this information is indeed complicated, if he doesn't explain it clearly, no one will be able to understand it.

Xu Changsheng calmed down the mood of the argument just now, and said, "There is indeed something in common in this document, but it's relatively hidden, so it's hard to see."

Even Fang Xuanling didn't see why after watching it for a long time, and asked, "What do they have in common?"

Xu Changsheng met the eyes of all those who looked at him, and said, "Ninety percent of the people with physical disabilities are recorded, and their parents are all within three generations of close relatives. The so-called three generations of close relatives are..."

The voice of Xu Changsheng was everywhere in the court, "Thus, according to the statistical data, we can see that within three generations of close relatives marrying, there is a [-]% probability of giving birth to a child, or there will be physical or mental problems."

"Is that true?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise. After all, this is the first time I've heard of this statement. In this era, it is very important to be close to each other.

Xu Changsheng said loudly, "If you don't believe me, you can carefully read the information I gave. There are some records on the relationship between parents."

This is also the most time-consuming. If Li Chengqian had not used the help of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, he would not have been able to complete this workload.

Everyone turned over involuntarily, looking carefully at each item.

But the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

The above records seem to be verifying what Xu Jiazi said is true.

Xu Changsheng said in a deep voice, "So, since ancient times, the so-called kissing and kissing are not really kissing and kissing, it is a devil, and I don't know how many tragedies it caused. Changsheng met a person when he went to Chang'an Yamen yesterday, his own father Pushing my stupid son into the well, this...is the result of kissing and kissing, because of the wrong combination, it ruined a complete family."

Everyone trembled for a moment. It was really a human tragedy. No matter how ferocious a tiger would be, it would not eat its own son. But because of such a tragedy, a father killed his son with his own hands.

Xu Changsheng's voice was very heavy, "My lords, please take a good look at the information in your hands. Most of the causes of death of these people with physical defects were abandoned or died in accidents, so what Changsheng saw yesterday is not unique. , but piles of piles, countless..."

Everyone's heart sank. Is the evidence conclusive?

The crown prince and Xu Jiazi really did something that pierced the sky.

Even since ancient times, the saying that kissing plus kissing has been overturned.

Li Chengqian's voice sounded, "Father, my son implores Father to amend the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Marriage is prohibited for close relatives within three generations."

Baiguan: "..."

It is also a request to revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, if such a channel revised the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it would be regarded as a major change.

Every change is bound to be bloody, but...

After looking at the information in hand, how do they argue?

Quite a few people opened their mouths, but they couldn't speak. Who would want people with physical defects and dementia to appear in their descendants?

In fact, this also touched the interests of many people.

For example, Changsun Wuji, he opened his mouth again and again.

Because he just entered the palace, he recommended a woman from their eldest grandson's family to the eldest grandson empress, hoping that this woman would become Li Chengqian's concubine. This would not only bring the eldest grandson's family closer to the royal family, but also stabilize his position.

The woman he recommended and Li Chengqian happened to be within three generations of close relatives,

But does he dare to object?

If the woman he recommends becomes a crown princess but gives birth to a physically disabled offspring, he may also be to blame.

And the probability of giving birth to offspring with physical disabilities is not low according to the statistics on this data.

Not to mention such a high probability, even if there was even a slight possibility, he would not dare.

Therefore, although his interests were shaken, he did not dare to oppose it.

There are many people who are in the same situation as him. If they object, when those people really give birth to crippled offspring, others will have to run to their houses and smash their doors, pointing at their noses and yelling at them.

The court was quiet for a while, and it was Fang Xuanling who came out, "Your Majesty, the evidence given by the Xu family... is convincing, and I second the proposal of the crown prince. Your Majesty, please revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

A group of people also stood up, "Your Majesty, please revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded, "Yes."

Xu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat off his head. He thought it was the same as the first point, and he had to argue vigorously, but he didn't expect these people to be so convinced.

In fact, it was not Xu Changsheng who convinced them, but they knew that their opposition would be useless, so why bother.

Above the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, after all, there are more officials who serve the country and the people.

Xu Changsheng also counted his success and retired, and ran back to the door, where he was supposed to stand.

Everyone was still in a daze. It was very rare for the law of the Tang Dynasty to be changed twice a day, but because of the crown prince and Xu Jiazi, it was really done today.

The court discussion continued. Although the matter between Xu Changsheng and the crown prince was important, other matters to be discussed were not necessarily unimportant.

The post of Dr. Guozijian's participation in Xu's family's neglected studies was directly blocked by Fang Xuanling, and he typed back without mentioning it.

After coming down to court, Xu Changsheng walked out of the golden palace, feeling that the sun was much brighter.

He has saved many, many people, so it feels good, at least he has a clear conscience.

The two decrees were promulgated soon, and they were recorded in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and all citizens of the Tang Dynasty must abide by them and enforce them.

But in the eyes of the Tang people, these two orders are particularly strange.

The first one, marriage is not allowed under the age of 16. What kind of strange clause is this? They didn’t have to do this before. Don’t all the girls in their family have to be old girls?What's more, I feel that the girl is just the water thrown out. Why do they keep raising them so big?

Article [-]: Within three generations of close relatives, marriage is not allowed.

This one is even more outrageous. It has been a saying since ancient times that kisses add kisses, but now it is directly illegal?Will there be no more kisses in the future?

The reason for the law change, of course, was explained according to Li Shimin's request, but... the literacy rate of the Tang Dynasty...

Xu Changsheng also watched the promulgation of the new decree, after all, he was the one who made it.

At the place where the decree was issued, an old woman fell to the ground crying, howling, "My poor daughter died of dystocia because she was too young to marry someone else. Why wasn't this decree promulgated sooner?" ah."

Xu Changsheng also sighed, hoping that there will be fewer such tragedies in the future.

Someone else said nervously, "My baby is engaged to his cousin, what should I do?"

The person who preached the new decree said, "This decree is enforced. That is to say, no matter whether you are engaged or not, the marriage between your baby and your cousin is among the three generations of close relatives. The yamen will not recognize it, and you will not be able to pass the household registration." , forcibly being together is fornication."

"..."

Someone persuaded, "Didn't it mean that marriages between close relatives within three generations are likely to give birth to disabled offspring? You should die as soon as possible. Our neighbor has a mentally handicapped son. Now think about it, their parents are cousins."

The man's face turned pale with fright, "I'm going to withdraw the marriage right away."

Anyway, the yamen didn't admit it, and she couldn't get married. She didn't struggle anymore, so she might as well deal with it.

Of course, these are relatively enlightened.

And some people looked at Xu Changsheng with less friendly eyes.

He whispered, "It is said that it is better to demolish a temple than a marriage. The Xu family has demolished many marriages that have already been arranged. Isn't he afraid of retribution?"

"That's right, you can only get married when you are 16. My daughter has already made an appointment, so it has to be postponed? If my in-laws go back later, will my daughter still find such a good husband's family?"

"It's still good for you. I heard that many people have divorced because they are young and unsuitable for marriage. Now I don't know how many people are secretly cursing the Xu family."

Their voices were very small, but they were just within Xu Changsheng's ear.

Xu Changsheng frowned, then let go, looked at the group of gossiping women, and said solemnly, "Changsheng has nothing wrong with it, and has a clear conscience."

Right and wrong, have time to judge right and wrong.
