Soon, Merton's question of secular marriage had been resolved in five ways, and only the last one was parental interference in the marriage.

Quan Wanji suddenly showed a trace of confidence, maybe a few other Mo family members can find loopholes, but the last one, he Quan Wanji has already prepared, and he will definitely give Mo Dun a head-on blow.

"Master Mo took the peacock flying southeast as an example, and sang two songs all over the streets of Chang'an City, which can be said to be moving, but I don't know that Jiao's mother didn't do anything wrong at all." Quan Wanji said proudly.

"Didn't do anything wrong?" Merton involuntarily raised his voice, incredulously.

Now Chang'an City is lamenting the poignant love between Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, and in the eyes of Quan Wanji, Jiao's mother is not wrong.

"I say in the law of marriage to the household, and the woman commits it" seven out. "A husband can divorce his wife, Lord Mo should know this!" Quan Wanji looked at Merton and said coldly.

Merton nodded and said, "I naturally know." ”

"The Great Dai Li Ji Ben Ming": "Women have seven ways: disobedience to their parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, evil diseases, many words, and theft. If you don't obey your parents, you will rebel against virtue; childless, for its peerless also; fornication, for its promiscuity; jealousy, for its troubled family; If there is a vicious disease, it is not possible to prosper with it; Speak a lot, for the sake of leaving relatives; theft, for its antisense also",

This seven goes, that is, seven out, if a woman has any of the above, a man can divorce his wife, and when Morton studied law in the Guozi Prison, he naturally memorized it by heart.

Quan Wanji said: "Although Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi were martyred, the reason why Jiao's mother asked Jiao Zhongqing to divorce his wife was that he had no children in one of the seven!" ”

"When the bride first came, my sister-in-law started to support the bed, and today I was expelled, and my sister-in-law is as long as me." From the growth of her sister-in-law, you can look back at Laneige marrying the Jiao family for many years. And Liu Lanzhi said goodbye to her husband, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law before being sent home, but she did not write goodbye to her children, which shows that the real reason for Liu Lanzhi's divorce is that she has no children for many years.

In the traditional concept, Liu Lanzhi has been married for many years without children, and she is already one of the seven, which may be the root cause of the love tragedy between Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi.

"I don't know what Lord Mo's justification!" Quan Wanji pressed step by step.

Morton snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no doubts about the other items of the Seven Outs, but he has doubts about the childlessness. ”

"Say it as bluntly!" Li Shimin rolled his eyes slightly, knowing that Merton had started tossing again, but he was very interested in how Merton would refute it.

Merton arched his hand towards Quan Wanji, and asked with a serious face: "Dare to ask Lord Quan, among the seven outs, does the childless divorce include the woman who only has a daughter and no son, or the woman who can't have children, or both." ”

Quan Wanji nodded and said, "Naturally, it's both!" Mencius said; "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", marrying a wife is to pass on the lineage, if the wife is unable to give birth to a son, so that the husband's family is extinct, she can naturally divorce his wife and remarry. ”

The purpose of marriage in a patriarchal family is "to go up to the temple and to succeed the next generation"; To marry a wife is to bear offspring; According to the principle of patrilineal inheritance, only sons are considered descendants of the continuation of incense. As a result, women have to bear the "crime" of being childless. According to the system, only one wife can be married, so it is necessary to give up the childless wife and marry a new wife to have children.

Cao Zhi's "Poems of Abandoned Women" wrote: "Childless Angelica Ning (divorced)...... There are children menstruating days, and there are no children like meteors; At the end of the sky and moon phases, the meteor is not spermless. "It is said that a childless woman is like a shooting star in her husband's house for a short time; Only the wife who gave birth to a son can stand in her husband's house like the sun and the moon, which shows the widespread existence of divorce due to childlessness in the Han Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, it attached more importance to the position of "childless" in the "seven outs", and the Tang Dynasty put "childless" in the first place, which continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, even in the seventies and eighties of later generations, if there is no son in the family, it will be called a desperate queen, and you can't raise your head in the village.

It was not until the 21st century, with the opening up of ideas, that this kind of thinking gradually disappeared, but in some backward places, the concept of having sons is still difficult to eradicate.

Many ministers nodded their heads again and again, no matter how clever Merton was, in front of the 'seven outs', it was in vain.

However, Merton did not flinch, but clasped his fists at the ministers and said, "That kid should ask the ministers for advice." ”

Quan Wanji looked at Merton with a sneer, his own occupation of righteousness can be said to be a sure victory, and he is naturally happy to see Merton jumping.

Merton took out a Kaiyuan Tongbao from his arms, nodded at everyone, and said, "This is a Kaiyuan Tongbao." ”

Merton flicked his fingers, and with a buzz, Kaiyuan Tongbao spun and flew into the air, and after his strength was exhausted, he fell down, and Merton snapped and covered it on the back of his hand.

"Your Excellency, can you guess whether this Kaiyuan Tongbao is the back or the back." Merton asked, looking around.

The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were suddenly full of black lines, and they looked at Morton dumbfounded, guessing that such a child's play was actually taken to the court by the Mo family.

"Mo Jiazi, this is an important place in the court, but it is not a place for you to mess around." Quan Wanji rebuked angrily.

Li Shimin also stared at Merton, this kid usually behaves well, but he always makes some strange things during the inadvertent period.

Merton laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Quan, what if we compare the positive and negative sides of this money to giving birth to a boy and a girl?" If the positive side represents the birth of a boy and the negative side represents the birth of a girl, does Quan still think it is child's play? ”

Quan Wanji was stunned for a moment, coins only have two sides, and people are only divided into men and women, and it is appropriate to make an analogy in turn.

Many ministers' eyes lit up, and they vaguely guessed Merton's intentions.

Merton unveiled his hand, revealing the reverse side of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and said regretfully: "It seems that this time it is a girl." ”

"What does that mean?" Cheng Yanjin stepped forward curiously and asked.

"The next question to ask is whether this reverse is because the kid played it with his right hand, or because the kid picked it up with his left hand." Merton asked.

"Ugh!" Cheng Yanjin thought for a while and said, "This shouldn't be anything." ”

Morton showed a sneer and looked at the ministers and said: "The lonely yin does not grow, the only yang does not give birth, and childbirth is a common thing for both men and women, so what about the world's distemper in order to blame the reason for giving birth to daughters and not giving birth to sons to women's belly?" ”

The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly gasped, looked at Merton incredulously, how familiar they were with a coin and having a child, no one knew the gender until they were born. However, after giving birth to a boy, the whole family cheered, and after giving birth to a girl, they pointed to the woman's belly and did not fight.

"This is the consensus of the world." Quan Wanji argued.

Merton pressed step by step: "Lord Quan, I don't know if there is a basis in this world to prove that giving birth to a boy or a girl is the reason for the mother. ”

Quan Wanji's face turned pale suddenly, and he staggered back a few steps, all of them in the court were erudite people, how could he make something out of nothing, so he had to say bitterly: "There is no basis in this world." ”

Merton continued: "That is to say, this is a secular speculation, whether the boy can guess that there is a boy and a girl, or it may be the reason for the man, or the common reason of both parties. ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought about it, not possibly, but very likely, and they never reflected on the responsibility of the man, and blindly accused the woman of not being angry.

Merton said emotionally: "Who does not have a mother, a mother who is pregnant for ten months is already hard, but she has to endure the criticism imposed by the world, how cruel it is. ”

All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

"Since it is not the woman's fault that she gave birth to a daughter, why did she let the woman be divorced for this seven crimes, and whether this policy is biased, please let Your Majesty know it." Merton bowed to Li Shimin.

Although it has been proved in later generations that the determining gene for male and female birth is in men, but at this moment, there is no such condition to achieve, there is no way, Merton can only use this method to convince everyone.

Li Shimin glanced at Merton with satisfaction, Merton's words were well-founded, and he was interested in women, if he stood on top of patriarchy, he naturally didn't like it, but as a father, Li Shimin actually had a feeling that the more he looked at his son-in-law, the more pleasing he became.

Merton's statement is reasonable, and this article is indeed biased. Li Shimin coughed dryly and said, at this moment, he is not only standing on his daughter's position, but also has a huge harem to appease, and his position is naturally firm.

The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent one by one, otherwise after returning home, they would definitely be restless at home, and they didn't see Prime Minister Fang Xuanling standing there without saying a word.

"It's naturally good to have a daughter, but if you give birth to a girl in a row, the family will be the last and the incense will be inherited?" Kwon Wanji argued.

Morton smiled slightly, his hand moved, and with a buzz, Kaiyuan Tongbao flew into the air again, snapped his hands together and said: "This is the wonder of this question, can Lord Quan guess again, this time it is positive or aspect." ”

Quan Wanji's glasses suddenly widened, and he looked at Merton sweatingly, as if he had guessed Merton's plan.

Merton said proudly: "The Mo family has a unique scientific name probability, for which the sages of the Mo family once tossed tens of thousands of coins in a row, and got a very interesting result, that is, the more coins are tossed, the probability of heads and tails is closer to half, and at the same time, the sex of newborns in a county is counted, and the number of boys and girls is almost equal. ”

"What does that mean?" Cheng Yanjin was puzzled.

Tobe Shangshu Dai Xuan sighed and said: "Every time a coin is tossed, the chance of heads and tails is half, and the same is true for having a child. ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly opened his eyes wide and said: "That is to say, every time you give birth to a child, half of them may be girls." ”

"Not bad!" Merton said, "Every time a woman gives birth to a daughter, the chance is half, in terms of probability, some mothers who are lucky will always give birth to boys, and mothers who are unlucky are afraid that they will give birth to girls in their lifetime." ”

"Girls for the rest of your life!" Even Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise.

Morton nodded and said, "Of course, this is a very special case, and it is almost impossible to occur, but in the coin toss experiment of the sages of the Mo family, there have been examples of twenty consecutive tails, and more than ten consecutive tails abound. ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty nodded, and there were many cases of ten or eight daughters in a family among the people, and even if they married many wives and concubines, they were still the last examples.

"Since it is not a woman's fault to give birth to a boy or a girl, but a matter of probability, why let a woman bear the blame of the world, and be positioned as a sin." Merton turned around suddenly, his eyes sharp.

For a while, no one dared to look directly at Merton, everyone knew that the women of the world had indeed endured too much criticism, and they used to enjoy it with peace of mind, but now they were just poked open by Merton.

Quan Wanji's face was even more pale, and he said in a dying struggle: "Then what if a woman can't have children at all?" ”

Merton sneered and said: "Infertility is a disease, you can find a doctor to recuperate, and it is not certain whether it is a man's problem or a woman's problem, if you leave as soon as possible, the woman may be able to find another good match." ”

Quan Wanji suddenly stumbled when he heard this, and the ministers couldn't help but look at Quan Wanji with lamentation, this time, Quan Wanji lost all of them and was defeated.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to decide." Merton glanced at Quan Wanji with contempt, and immediately reined in his momentum and turned into a well-behaved teenager.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, got up from the dragon chair and said, "Zhu Qing still has objections. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shook their heads one after another, and the lessons of Quan Wanji's past were in front of them, so they naturally would not be bored.

"In this case, in the future, among the seven women of my Tang Dynasty, if a woman gives birth to a daughter and has no children, she is not among the seven, but the husband can take a concubine and give birth to a child, and the wife is over fifty years old and has no children. Li Shimin is worthy of being an imperial method, and the method of balance is handy, which protects the woman, and allows the family to pass on the ancestry. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Quan Wanji said with a sigh of relief.

"As for, Han family girl!" Li Shimin said in a cold voice, "Han, Hu and Mrs. Zhu were handed over to Chang'an County for trial, and the daughter of the Han family was buried by the imperial court, and the marriage book was newly engraved on the tombstone to warn the people of the world." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the Han family!" Merton said sincerely, this is the broad-minded Li Shimin in power, if the emperor is changed, Merton's move today will definitely not be so smooth.

Li Shimin looked at Merton, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "Merton, today you ask for your life on behalf of the men and women of the world, I am very pleased, I hope you can abide by today's will, if there is duplicity, words and deeds are inconsistent, I will not spare you." ”

Morton was taken aback, how could he feel that Li Shimin had something to say, but now is not the time to think, and he assured at the moment: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Merton's words today can be supervised by the people of the world, and if it is violated, it will be pointed out by thousands of people." ”

Li Shimin's face softened slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to leave.

"Retreat!" Pound screamed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed and saluted.

Soon, the news in the palace spread all over the city, and Morton beat Wen Deng's drum in public to ask for the life of the Han family, and countless people were looking forward to it, and when they learned that the news of the Mo family's court battle against the imperial history spread, the whole city was in an uproar.

"Mo Jiazi, it's just immoral." The old stubborn scolded bitterly, especially the families of the doll-friendly and child daughters-in-law, and many of them gritted their teeth at Merton.

"The Mo family deserves to be the Mo family!" Countless young people rushed to shout.

However, in the hearts of the younger generation, Merton's behavior is simply very happy, Merton has done something they never dared to think of, for a while, countless young people suddenly regard Merton as an idol, like a puppet passively manipulated by others, such things are difficult for even parents to accept, but today Merton has brought them a glimmer of hope for freedom.

At the same time, Merton's theory that giving birth to a boy and a girl is not a woman was approved by all mothers in Chang'an City, and the women of the world have borne such criticism too much, and they can't even wash it away even if they jump into the Yellow River.

At this moment, everyone in the world envies that mysterious woman, if anyone marries the Mo family, she will definitely become the happiest woman in the world.
