Chapter 310: The Emperor's Idea
Yang Xianmao looked left and right, there was only Gonggong Huang in the room, and there were no other eunuchs and palace maids, obviously Song Taizong seemed to know that what Yang Xianmao was going to report might not be suitable for others to hear, so he saw him alone. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info left only a personal old eunuch.
This is exactly what Yang Xianmao wanted, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a tricky matter, and I want to ask the emperor to help Weichen solve it." ”
"Oh, what's the matter? ”
Yang Xianmao took a deep breath and said, "The concubine of Prince Qian of the former Wu Yue Kingdom was unwilling to rebel against the Great Song Dynasty with Prince Qian, so she left the prince. Coincidentally, I got along with Weichen. We already have a covenant of white-headed old age, the reality of husband and wife. And she's been secretly married, which I just found out about, and it's been more than a month. However, Prince Qian rebelled against the imperial court, his whereabouts are unknown, and he can't ask him to divorce his wife or divorce, and now the child in the womb doesn't wait for anyone, and she can't give birth to a child before she has passed the door, which is unfair to her and to the child. Weichen could only ask the emperor to think of a way. ”
Song Taizong smiled dumbly, and then said with a straight face: "Yang Aiqing, you are too ridiculous, right? As a member of the fourth grade, you actually fornicated with ** and conceived a child, how can you do such an immoral thing?"
Yang Xianmao originally chuckled in his heart, but when he remembered Song Taizong's laughter just now, he knew that Song Taizong was actually not really angry with his behavior, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his waist lower, and said: "If it is a good wife and mother of ordinary people, Weichen will never dare to have this kind of thief heart, and when Weichen was good with her, he didn't know that she was the crown princess of the former Wu Yueguo, and he only learned about it later." Moreover, the crown princess was unwilling to follow the prince to rebel against the court, so she left him. However, in the laws of the king, only a man divorces his wife, but no wife divorces a man. She had the heart to break off the relationship with the prince, but she had no choice. And she got along with Weichen, and that was after she left the prince. Therefore, Weichen didn't feel that it was morally unreasonable, but how to deal with it in the criminal law, and Weichen really had no choice, so he came to the emperor and asked the saint to give an idea. If the emperor can't help it, then it's better if Weichen didn't say it. ”
Song Taizong snorted and said: "You have come to me for help, what are you doing with these words?—— Okay, as you just said, if you hook up with the good wives and good mothers of other people's families, let me know that I will be punished severely, and I will not be spared! However, this woman is the wife of a traitor, then it is another matter, Prince Qian, when I was in the Northern Expedition to Daliao, sent people to mix with the monk group and conspired to assassinate me, if it were not for Aiqing and other monks to escort me, I would have been injured. I will settle the old account with him and the new one. Therefore, if you get his concubine, you can be regarded as a bad breath for me. ”
Speaking of this, Song Taizong couldn't help but show a smile: "I will definitely fulfill this happy marriage for you, and I don't have to care if he has anything to say, and he doesn't dare to show up to trouble you, if he really dares to show up, I am worried that I can't find this traitor, arrest him, click, won't his princess become a widow? Hahahaha. ”
Yang Xianmao thought to himself, if it's so simple, what am I looking for you? At the moment, he made a bitter face, waiting for Song Taizong's laughter to stop, and then said: "Weichen is not worried that he will come to the door to question, what Weichen is worried about is that the former ministers of the former Wu Yue Kingdom, they know the identity of the crown princess, if the crown princess marries Weichen, I am afraid that these people will secretly talk about it, and everyone will talk about it." My husband and wife don't want to bear the criticism of others behind this. What's more, in the future, if Weichen makes a half-star contribution, the emperor will definitely reward Weichen and canonize Weichen's wife. ”
When Song Taizong heard this, he nodded frequently and said, "It turns out that you are worried about this, but this is indeed a problem. He turned to Gonggong Huang again and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Gonggong Huang smiled and said, "The emperor already has an idea in his heart, so why should the old slave talk too much?"
Song Taizong smiled and said, "You ghost old man, since you don't want to say it, then I will tell me my idea and see if it is suitable." You asked the woman to write a letter of paper and go to Dali Temple to accuse Prince Qian of rebellion, to break off his righteousness with him, and ask Dali Temple to make decisions for her. I asked Dali Siqing not to be promoted to ask about the case, and directly gave you a verdict, ruling that your woman and Prince Qian were both righteous and unrelated, and their respective marriages had nothing to do with each other in the future, and the relationship would end, and the list would be announced to show the world. Let everyone in the world know that the concubine of the traitor Prince Qian rebelled because she hated him, and asked to break off her righteousness with him and sever the relationship between husband and wife. This is the most admirable thing, is the most commendable, so the Dali Temple judgment allows righteousness. In this way, everyone knows that she is no longer the wife of that house, and you will marry her again in the future, won't it be justified?"
It was still relatively common for women in the Song Dynasty to remarry, and it was not as perverted as the loyalty requirements of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then he remembered the conditions for righteousness that the princess had said before, and said anxiously: "However, Weichen heard that the premise of righteousness is only that there are injuries or beatings, abuses, killings, rapes, etc., between the relatives of the husband and wife or between the relatives of one of the husband and wife, and the government will rule that both parties will be renunciated, and they do not have these behaviors." ”
Song Taizong smiled: "You are too nerd, think about it, both husband and wife have to be sentenced to righteousness for these acts against each other's relatives, when one of the husband and wife commits such a heinous felony of rebellion, the other party is unwilling to join him, of course this should be encouraged, if the woman has such a request, and the government ignores it, it is the government's dereliction of duty, it is the government that forces her to go to the road of no return with her rebellious husband, how is this in line with the royal road?"
Yang Xianmao nodded frequently, picked up his thumb and said: "After listening to the emperor's words, Weichen Mao suddenly opened, it is true, even the matter of beating and insulting the other party's relatives can be sentenced to righteousness, and the other party has committed such a rebellious evil deed, of course, one of the husband and wife should be allowed to ask for righteousness." This is in line with the royal way, but there is no such provision in the criminal law, will anyone talk about it?"
Song Taizong smiled and said, "This is easy to do." Criminal laws are made by people, and criminal laws are also imperfect, and imperfect criminal laws are to be revised and supplemented by our edicts. My edict is the new law. I asked Dali Temple to report this case to me, and I personally approved it and granted it. In the future, Dali Temple and the government offices across the country will encounter this kind of thing in the future, and they can be dealt with according to my imperial approval. ”
Yang Xianmao patted his head: "Weichen is confused, thank you emperor." ”
I thought I was too stupid, but didn't I, Song Taizong was the emperor, and the whole world was his, and if he wanted to make laws, wouldn't it be a matter of one sentence. The law does not stipulate that the government should apply for the government to be annihilated with the other party because of the other party's rebellion, and the emperor should just decree a regulation.
Song Taizong said to Yang Xianmao: "You go back and tell your wife, let him write a letter, and I will send officials from Dali Temple to your house early tomorrow morning to pick it up, and at the same time, hand over the judgment of Dali City to you, which is the proof that your wife has gained freedom." The rest of the matter, I just let Dali Temple do it, you don't have to worry about it, it will be done properly. In a few days, you will be able to marry her. ”
Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and gave a long salute: "Weichen thank Lord Longen!"
Coming out of the palace, Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed, no wonder those people sharpened their heads and wanted to be emperors, it turned out that the emperor had such supreme power, and could even make laws at will, this kind of pleasure of power over the world, of course, is what everyone dreams of.
After returning to the residence in the hospital, Yang Xianmao told the princess what had happened, and the princess was very happy, and immediately wrote a letter that Prince Qian rebelled, and he did not want to be in the same stream, so he broke off with him, and asked the government to order the dissolution of the marriage between the two parties.
Yang Xianmao knew for the first time that her sweetheart was pregnant with a child, of course she was overjoyed, and for the sake of the child, she didn't dare to talk to the crown princess Yunyu anymore, but just hugged her in her arms and talked.
Yang Xianmao then told the crown princess that the emperor asked her to treat Princess Xuan'er and take her around the world. and told her that Princess Xuan'er was in weak health, suffering from an incurable disease, and her life was short, so the emperor made this decision.
After listening to him, the crown princess put her face on his cheek and said, "The concubine understands, you can take the princess to the world with confidence! If I am not pregnant with our child, I will definitely follow you to the end of the world." But now that I have children, I can't be so willful. Find a place to settle me, and I will wait for our child to be born in peace. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded, Yang Xianmao gently stroked his cheek, and said: "We get the verdict of Dali Temple, you will regain your freedom, and then we will go to your house to propose, get the marriage certificate, and then go back to Xuanzhou to see my parents and hold a wedding ceremony." Then you can maintain it at home with peace of mind, and I will take the princess of the country to travel the world. What do you think?"
The crown princess was surprised and delighted, nodded vigorously and said: "My father and mother are in Qiantang Mansion, my father was originally an official of Wu Yueguo, and after Wu Yueguo surrendered, he also resigned from his official position and went home, and my home is in Qiantang Mansion." My father and mother love me very much, and they are reasonable, Prince Qian rebelled, my parents were very worried, and secretly reminded me to leave him several times, my father is actually very willing to make friends with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, as long as you ask the matchmaker to propose, there will be no problem. ”
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he was relieved, he was worried about whether there would be any extraneous branches, if the parents of the crown princess were loyal to the royal family of Wu Yueguo and resolutely disagreed with this marriage, it would be troublesome. Now listening to the crown princess say this, of course, a stone in her heart has fallen to the ground.
The crown princess curled up in Yang Xianmao's arms, gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, felt the sprout of life, and her heart was full of joy.
