The facts of the case are actually not complicated, it's just that the confused in-laws drowned their grandson because of superstition, but Yang Xiu's complaint made the matter a sensation, and it is not uncommon for the May child not to be raised in the Great Song Dynasty, most of the children born on this evil moon and evil day were drowned, and basically no one sued.

But today's events are quite big, a young woman alone challenges the human feelings, legal system, etiquette, human nature and many other aspects of this society, which catches all the Great Song people who live in the rules by surprise.

In Zhao Zhen's view, these are stereotypes and bad habits, feudal superstitions, and have no other role than harming people, but on the other hand, the stereotypes and conservatism of the ancients are beyond Zhao Zhen's imagination, even stereotypes and bad habits must be continued, and this is the tradition in them.

The disobedient and unfilial Yang Xiu sued her in-laws, which in itself is not in doubt, and at the same time, she also admitted that her behavior was disobedient and unfilial, so she gritted her teeth and accepted the twenty spine canes.

In Zhao Zhen's view, this is a test of the social system of the Great Song Dynasty, and even a test of the constitution of the Emperor and Song Dynasty. This has become a topic of great concern to the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Sue the royal court, the pre-imperial trial, these are rarely seen, and now they appear in front of everyone, of course, you have to take a good look, the trial of the Son of Heaven is very rare!

At the same time, the people also want to see how their eldest Song Tianzi should judge this thorny case, which is a contradictory thing, on one side is the drowning child, and on the other hand, the eldest in-laws.

The understanding of the case is very fast, because this is a simple matter, Zhao Zhen will not waste too much time on it, what he wants to do is to achieve his "goal".

Turned to look at Wang Yuyan and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"The concubine is a woman, how dare she intervene in the case......"

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You are also a woman, so tell me your opinion, this matter is a matter of ethics, different from the government, as a queen, you should naturally have your own opinions." ”

Wang Yuyan glanced at it, this is the official family pulling themselves into the pit, the more matters related to legal principles and human feelings, the more you can't talk at will, otherwise once you say something wrong, it will cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and the people, and your image will be greatly reduced.

Over the years, Wang Yuyan has always maintained her reputation very well, whether it is in the people or in the court, she has been praised by a generation of virtuous queens, and the edicts in Beijing, Mrs., and the like are even more based on her, and Bi Yaxuan's business is also getting better day by day.

"In the eyes of the concubines, Yang Xiu is just a bad fate, if she doesn't give birth to a child on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be no rebellion and unfilial piety, let alone today's tragedy."

As soon as he opened his mouth at a glance, the people around him agreed, and Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, this is a perceptual analysis, not a rational one, it is true that Yang Xiu is indeed unlucky, but what is the use of saying these things if things have already happened?

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Today there is Yang Xiu, tomorrow there will be Lu Xiu, Zhang Xiu, Wang Xiu...... It is really vulgar not to lift the Maychild! I heard that Meng Weijun was born in the same month, so it can be seen that it is ridiculous to say that the May Son does not raise it!

I saw Yang Xiu's face today, and I really had the appearance of showing off his wisdom and his deeds were touching, which was the way of future generations, and I was impressed! The son of this woman must be a person of great loyalty and filial piety, how can he harm his father and mother? Ridiculous too!

It can be seen that the May child is not cited as a biased and vulgar language, and if there is a person who drowns infants, regardless of his identity and background, he will be punished with murder! Yang Xiu's in-laws acted in front of my law, and they were not guilty of the past and were not convicted. Yang Xiu gave six products to the people, and appreciated the sunflower ebony scroll. ”

Wow......

Zhao Zhen said, the people were in an uproar, Yang Xiu's in-laws were businessmen, and after Yang Xiu was born with a decree, his status suddenly became respectful, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this edict was a talisman given to Yang Xiu by the official family!

The Shen husband and wife, who had never shown up, appeared, thanked the emperor, and at the same time regretted it, blaming themselves for their actions.

Zhao Zhen resolved this thorny case in a few words, so that Wang Yuyan on the side nodded with relief, she also supported Yang Xiu in her heart, and she also sent someone to bring and persuade this pair of in-laws.

The husband and wife of the heavenly family have a very tacit understanding to cooperate with everything, as usual, the people of the Great Song Dynasty shouted long live to express the excitement in their hearts, with this Mingjun, the virtuous queen, how can the Great Song Dynasty not be happy?

Zhao Zhen smiled silently, his goal has been achieved, abolish bad customs, let the Great Song Dynasty give birth to more population, this is his goal, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, if there is not enough population, it is difficult to use all the land.

In Zhao Zhen's view, no people's land is wasteland, the Great Song Dynasty should reserve a large number of population, waiting for the expropriation of land for only use, and at the same time must be prepared to develop those land, population is an important force of a country, and the expansion of the population will also bring more opportunities for the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the current food is enough to eat, but with the increase in population, sooner or later the "stomach" of the Great Song Dynasty will become empty again, and at that time, without Zhao Zhen, the emperor, there will naturally be a request for expansion, of course, in order to ensure that the giant of the Great Song Dynasty is not starved to death, Zhao Zhen will plant a large amount of grain obtained from the Americas.

The economy of the Great Song Dynasty has matured, and the market prosperity far exceeds that of previous dynasties, and what Zhao Zhen has to do is to expand the territory and reproduce more population, only in this way can the Great Song Dynasty keep forging ahead.

Looking at the girl standing in the line of maids, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, but quickly frowned, population is another big problem in the Great Song Dynasty in addition to military affairs, the population of the Great Song Dynasty has grown explosively, the life of the Great Song Dynasty has become better, the food is enough to eat, and there are few people who are struggling on the hunger line, which has also led to the rapid growth of the population.

The children of Ling'er's generation have gradually grown up, and they will become the emerging force of the Great Song Dynasty, becoming the pillars of the court and the generals in the army.

The thoughts of the protégés of the Son of Heaven have been instilled in their heads, and they even do not hesitate to quarrel with their families because of their ideas, which is Zhao Zhen's change to young people, and it is also Zhao Zhen's change to the balance of power.

The war in the Western Xia dragged on a little too long, although it was fought steadily, but it did not give much time to the Great Song Dynasty, the sooner the Song-Xia War ended, the faster the land of the Western Xia could be developed, and the faster the immigrants in the past would get more benefits.

Of course, those who desperately wanted to end the war also included the courtiers, this war was too long for the Great Song Dynasty, and the longer the war to destroy the country dragged on, the more difficult it became, and the enemy's attrition and attack would drag down the giant of the Great Song Dynasty.
