Chapter 67: The Law

"What do you say?" asked Zhang Zhaohua. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm afraid that Concubine Taisun is sick, it is reported that a few days ago, the East Palace invited a doctor," Gao Chi said: "The doctors of the Dafang Pulse, the Small Fang Pulse, and the Gynecology Department have all been diagnosed, but they have never heard of the disease, and there is no medical prescription - I am afraid that the illness of the Taisun Concubine is very tricky." ”

"It may also be because the doctors are not skilled. Zhang Zhaohua replied casually: "After all, gynecology and pediatrics are both difficult and cannot be judged. ”

"That's impossible," Gao Chi said, "The chief physician is Dai Sigong." ”

"Who is Dai Sigong?" Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Is the medical skill amazing?"

"He is a good doctor," Gao Chi sighed: "If you treat people, the medicine will definitely be effective, and the imperial grandfather values his medical skills the most." Back then, my father was afflicted with a plague, and there was a barrier between the ribs like a stone, which came and went impermanently, and he pushed and moved, and walked according to it. The belly is hard and swollen, I can't swallow every day, I can only eat mashed rice, how many doctors the palace invited are useless, or the emperor's grandfather sent Dai Sigong to come, he gave a pulse diagnosis, asked his father what he likes to eat, his father said that he likes to eat raw celery, he asserted that he was suffering from worm fistula, not blood fistice. ”

"According to other doctors, my father has a lump in his abdomen caused by the accumulation of blood stasis," Gao Chi said, "but he said that there was no blood clot in his stomach, it was a worm, and we were so scared that we didn't know what to do." ”

Zhang Zhaohua listened attentively and asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, my father ordered me to take medicine," Gao Chi said with a smile: "A dose of medicine will come out at night, just as Dai Sigong said, it is full of insects, and they are all locusts." ”

Zhang Zhaohua let out an "oops", it turned out to be a parasitic disease, and it was actually a locust. But what surprised her even more was that the medical skills of the ancients could be so meticulous and accurate, not only correctly diagnosing the source of the disease, but also prescribing the right medicine and curing it with one dose.

At this time, the doctor knew that the worm would cure the disease if it attached to the human body, and there was already an effective anti-insect medicine - Zhang Zhaohua thought about the West at this time, and I am afraid that the three major medical magic weapons of the Middle Ages were still continuing: bloodletting, amputation, and opening a hole in the brain.

It's really chilling to think about it, but I didn't wear it to that kind of place.

"In this way, with Dai Sigong's medical skills, it is absolutely impossible not to feel the symptoms," Zhang Zhaohua said: "The reason why I didn't prescribe medicine is that I think maybe there is no need to prescribe medicine at all." ”

"Oh?" this time it was Gao Chi's turn to be surprised: "Why?"

"I see that the female official who serves the princess has a carefree face," Zhang Zhaohua said: "On the contrary, she is happy, and it has been a month and a half since the princess married into the East Palace. ”

Gao Chi suddenly realized: "Sure enough! The slippery pulse is like a bead, and it is impossible to determine it in less than a month, no wonder even a holy hand like Dai Sigong does not dare to pack a ticket and prescribe a fetal pill." That's just right, the imperial grandfather must be very happy, the princess is pregnant in a month after she got married, which is a great joy. ”

"I originally heard the female official say that when it is February next year," Zhang Zhaohua said: "That is, before you return to the country, the emperor will register me as the princess, as well as the princess of Zhou, but there is no concubine ceremony for the princess." ”

"The princess is different from you, it will not be officially canonized until it is confirmed that the princess can give birth," Gao Chi paused for a moment and said: "Otherwise, if she is directly awarded the golden book, if she can't have children, it will be a little tricky to have a wife." ”

Or how to explain that the dynasty is different from other dynasties, before the Ming Dynasty, the marriage of the two families changed, everyone's relationship broke down, go to the government to tear up the marriage book and it's fine, the man can divorce his wife, the woman can also propose and divorce, any reason is fine, emotional discord is the best reason, after the divorce, everyone you marry and I marry, each has nothing to do with - But in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming law was re-stipulated, the husband can not divorce his wife for no reason, otherwise the rod is eighty, unless the seven regulations are met, and the woman also has three no, which seems to ensure the rights and interests of the woman, but in fact, it binds people too dead.

The power to dissolve a marriage has become reserved for the husband, and the woman has the power to unilaterally demand the dissolution of the marriage - there are also four specific cases, one is that the marriage is deceived or falsely married, and the divorce can be divorced, and the other is that the husband connives, connives, or forces his wife, concubine, and others*** Third, if the husband has been on the run for three years, the woman can revoke the marriage or remarry, and the dowry will not be pursued; and finally the wife will be beaten to the point of being bruised, that is to say, domestic violence, and the husband will beat his wife to the point of breaking bones, and the woman can file for reconciliation and divorce.

Therefore, regardless of whether you are emotionally compatible or not, after the two families get married, the possibility of divorce is greatly reduced.

Zhang Zhaohua said that there are some things in the "Da Ming Law" that are actually much regressive compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties, such as stipulating that all households have no property and no successor of the same clan, and the relatives and daughters born will inherit the shares. That is, daughters are allowed to inherit when there is no son, which is actually a step backwards, and the Tang Dynasty allowed daughters to inherit part of it when their sons were still alive.

For example, if the husband dies, as long as the woman is widowed, even if she has no children, she can share the property with the husband's family, but if she remarries, she will not. This article does not apply in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is rich widows, all inherited the property of their husbands, remarried by her, the property is also taken away by her, and there are even two prime ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty in order to fight for a widow with a property of 100,000 yuan and make fun of the royal front.

But you have to say that "Da Ming Law" is very backward, is it useless, and is not.

For example, under the entry of "adultery", the laws of the Tang Dynasty should distinguish between rapists, and there are detailed provisions on all kinds of sexual crimes and sexual crimes committed by people of different statuses. The light ones were punished with rods, and the heavy ones were exiled until they were hanged. In the Song Dynasty, there was a milestone "strong ** female crime", stipulating that "although it is the same, it flows for 3,000 miles, and it is far away from the evil state." If it is not completed, it will be equipped with 500 miles. The wounded, hanged. The Yuan Dynasty even stipulated the age, believing that "anyone who is called a young girl shall be under ten years old", and those who are more than ten years old are not considered young girls.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor hated rapists and considered them to be more heinous crimes, so the punishment regulations for rape in the "Da Ming Law" were very concise, not as detailed as those in the Yuan Dynasty. It was easy to enforce because it was written: "The rapist shall be hanged, and the unsuccessful shall be stranded with a rod of 17 and shall flow for 3,000 li." **Females under the age of 12 are considered to be the same. ”

That is to say, when you encounter a rapist, no matter who you rape, Tang Law also divides the severity of the criminal law, and the responsibility for raping subordinates and musicians is lighter, but in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the rape is directly hanged, the attempted person will be beaten with 170 sticks and then exiled for 3,000 miles. The strong ** woman is even more finished, even if the woman says that she is voluntary, she will not use it, and it is not negotiable to kill you.

Is there any benefit to Zhu Yuanzhang's severe punishment and heavy law? At the very least, this criminal law seems to be very happy -- this article, where Zhang Zhaohua lived in his previous life, was only sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he would not dare to commit the crime of rape if he committed any crime!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhaohua slightly dispelled the resentment in his heart, and was glad that he was fortunate to marry the prince of the domain, not the grandson-

In the emperor's opinion, the princesses of other vassal kings are just that, the concubines did not give birth, and the throne was passed on to the concubines, but in the heirs who inherited the imperial lineage, it was necessary to marry the woman who would give birth, and it must be to give birth to a concubine!

This is why the emperor can quickly ornate the princess, and drag on the reason why the princess has not been canonized, here I want to say that you are promised to the prince as a wife, and you have a big wedding, and you are not a princess in the real sense. The princess has to go through a canonization procedure, give you a golden book, and then write your name on the jade, and you can be regarded as a real royal person.

If you give the golden book and can't give birth to the golden book, it will be very troublesome to scrap it at that time, because the "Da Ming Law" is set by himself, and he will not divorce his wife and have no children for no reason? Didn't you also say that if you are fifty years old and have no children, you are really childless, but can the grandson really wait until he is fifty years old?

The emperor gave Ma two years at most, and if he couldn't give birth, he would give the golden book of the concubine to others, and whoever took the golden book was orthodox - he always had to watch the grandson have a son-in-law before he could really put his mind at ease.
