Chapter 244: What Is a Black Belly (Adding More to 'Lying Iron Light')
There are many folk customs in the Great Song Dynasty, but the most headache is definitely the dowry.
From the beginning, he showed off his wealth, or took pity on his daughter to go out, so he gave more dowry. Later, most of them were for comparison, and the man was even more eager for the new daughter-in-law's rich dowry, so he added fuel to the fire, and this custom was finalized.
Generations of monarchs and ministers have tried to pull this trend down, but no one has succeeded.
Now a young man is standing in the hall, calmly talking about the problems that have not been solved in these generations.
“…… The minister thought that this kind of atmosphere of comparison first came from above. ”
Zhao Zhongjun smiled apologetically, and then continued: "Whether it is the daughter of an official family or a powerful woman, the dowry is so rich that it is jaw-dropping. ”
The royal marriage of the Great Song Dynasty gave more dowry than the dowry of the prince.
The Zaifu were silent, and they knew this.
Zhao Yunliang felt that it was time to interrupt this topic, so he said: "The people are willing, and the officials are merciful, can they still forcibly interfere?" ”
This is a wonderful saying, and the beauty lies in the 'willingness' and 'kindness'.
The people are willing, and it will be a lot for you to take care of it.
The official family is merciful, and they have done their best, and if they can't control things, that is the will of God.
Zhao Zhongjun didn't care, his eyes gradually sharpened, "Your Majesty, there are drowning babies everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty...... Why? One is that the people can't afford to raise it, but some of them can't afford to marry well, and after the child is born, as long as it is a baby girl, it will be ...... directly"
He lowered his head, "It's going to drown." ”
Zhao Zhen's heart shook, and he couldn't help but get up and ask, "But that's the case?" ”
Fu Bi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is such a thing everywhere...... Xiao Langjun said that there are many drowned baby girls. ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but scold: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”
Zhao Zhongjun remembered Shen An's eyes before he came up.
At that time, Shen An wanted to speak and stopped, and his eyes looked at him a little strangely, like hope or expectation.
Shen An wanted to say but stopped with just two words: tax!
Zhao Zhen said with some sadness: "This matter must be urgent, it must be done immediately, whether I make a will, or send people to place a ban, I will do it immediately." ”
Fu Bi wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the people are afraid that it will be difficult to control. ”
No matter how much you do, the people won't buy it.
Zhao Zhen was uncomfortable for a while, so he said with tears in his eyes: "What a problem!" Pity the people! ”
"Ahem!"
Zhao Zhongjun coughed dryly, and when the Zai Fu glared at him, he said, "But ...... You can set an example! ”
Zhao Zhen's body stiffened, so he reached out to support the backrest, and then slowly looked over, with more taste in his eyes, as if he was happy.
"Exemplar?"
Fu Bi woke up at once.
Zhao Zhongjun said: "As long as the royal marriage has less dowry, and the officials and magnates have less dowry, the people will naturally change and will not be happy." ”
This trend of extravagance was brought out by the royal family and the magnates, but they were at a loss, and the reason was that they never thought about their own affairs.
Zhao Zhongjun's words woke everyone up at once.
Zhao Zhen patted his thigh and said, "That's exactly the reason." I was confused for a while, and I woke up thanks to Zhong Gong, okay! ”
This is the typical dark under the lamp!
The expressions of the Zaisukes were different, some nodded in relief, and some were expressionless.
I want to marry my daughter thickly, this is a distressed daughter, this is also to be managed?
Zhao Zhongjun finally added: "Nowadays, marriage does not talk about the difference between the door, but it requires wealth. As long as the royal family and powerful officials marry simple daughters, those people will marry richly...... I'm afraid that some people will not be able to look at it. ”
That's the rafters that come out, and naturally someone will clean them up. Those officials are not fuel-efficient lamps, you are bubbling to show off your wealth, you are fireflies in the night, and you will naturally attract attention.
This is the innocence of the husband and the guilt of the guilty.
How smart is this boy?
There are more intelligent teenagers, but they can analyze state affairs in an orderly manner, and they also give solutions.
Such a teenager......
Fu Bi glanced at Zhao Yunliang, who looked blank on the side, and sighed slightly in his heart, feeling that this person was probably going to make a wedding dress for Zhao Zhongjun today.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhen said happily: "Someone is coming." ”
Chen Zhongheng came out at the right time: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
Zhao Zhen pointed at Zhao Zhongyan and said with a smile: "It's a good boy, I remember that there are only a few good jade pendants in the palace, take one to him." ”
A gentleman is like jade!
I'll go!
This reward...... Dazzling!
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You all learned from Shen An?" ”
Where does the county king's mansion know this? And Shen An has seen a lot of folk things, so Zhao Zhen said it.
Zhao Zhongjun nodded and said, "Yes, the minister has learned a lot from Shen An." ”
Fu Bi was also a little curious, so he asked, "Dare to ask Xiao Langjun, Shen An will teach you a lesson...... Do you even talk about these state affairs? ”
Zhao Zhen was also curious about this, so he listened carefully.
Zhao Zhongjun said: "Say, and every time I say it, most of them will give examples, all of which are evidence-based, so that people can understand it as soon as they hear it." ”
Tut!
Zhao Zhen was a little jealous.
He didn't have such a good teacher back then.
Fu Bi praised: "Shen Zhizhao is really talented, Your Majesty, Taixue handed it over to him, and the minister thought it was appropriate." ”
Even Zhao Zhongjun was so well led by him, not to mention those students.
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Yes! That boy always surprises me. ”
So far, Zhao Yunliang's complaint is completely for Zhao Zhongliang to make a wedding dress, he is annoyed in his heart, but his face is not obvious, he just said lightly: "Your Majesty, the courtier is still having diarrhea at home......"
The murderer of my son is right in front of you, you can't turn a blind eye, can you?
Zhao Zhen remembered this at this time, and he said with a straight face: "The king of Huayuan said that you gave Zhao Zongjiang a laxative?" ”
"Nothing!"
Zhao Zhongjun said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what laxatives are. ”
The twelve-year-old boy had a serious look on his face when he spoke, and Fu Bi somehow believed it.
But Zhao Yunliang said sadly: "You eat with Zong Jiang, why don't you pull when he strained?!" ”
He stared at Zhao Zhongjun, and the anger in his eyes was almost undisguised.
Say!
Why don't you pull my son's diarrhea?
Are you a stomach made of steel?
Zhao Zhen also covered his forehead with a headache, thinking that he would discover the strengths of this child, but in a blink of an eye, he showed his shortcomings.
Laxatives......
This is not worth advocating!
Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but touch his buttocks, feeling that the hemorrhoids were a little itchy.
He couldn't help but think of the experience of eating a bad stomach the day before yesterday, that is, pulling.
Pull it, and the hemorrhoids finally get better...... He's sick again!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhongheng's eyes couldn't help but redden, and he felt that he was really unlucky.
He glanced at Zhao Zhongjun sympathetically, and felt that this child should have been framed.
A pure face...... No, it's innocence.
An innocent young man, where did he know about laxatives.
He glanced at Zhao Yunliang again, and Zhao Yunliang's face was a little hideous because of hatred at this moment.
Ay! This old man is trying to trick people.
But why didn't Zhao Zhongjun pull it?
The monarchs and ministers were all looking at him, waiting for his answer.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Zhongqi said innocently: "The minister was dragged there, because he had breakfast, so he didn't eat anything in the restaurant." ”
Since you want to take the drug, you must be ready to retreat.
Zhao Zhongjun is very skilled in these routines, including drugging Hong Bin, the housekeeper in the house, and bringing a cold chicken to the kitchen, and the rumor that whoever eats it will have diarrhea, which shows that this child's belly is black.
Zhao Yunliang said angrily: "You didn't eat, but why does Zong Jiang have diarrhea?" ”
Zhao Zhongjun said with a blank face: "Who knows what he ate outside." ”
This needs evidence, and you Zhao Zhongliang will get the evidence out.
Zhao Zhongliang hated itchy, and he said coldly: "Those leftovers and residual wine are in the hands of the minister. ”
Zhao Zhongliang is not a fool, and at the first moment of his son's accident, he asked people to go to the restaurant to find the leftover wine and food they ate.
"Verified?"
Zhao Zhen asked.
Zhao Yunliang nodded and said, "Those two people who ate leftovers and residual wine are outside the palace gate, so they should be pulled at this moment." ”
Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Zhongjun, "Ask someone to take a look." ”
Chen Zhongheng was worried that someone would make trouble, so he went in person.
When he came back later, the first thing he did was to glance at Zhao Yunliang, looking a little angry.
"Your Majesty, those two didn't pull, they are in good spirits!"
"I can't!"
Zhao Yunliang felt that it was impossible, and he said, "Your Majesty, will it be that you have to wait for a while?" ”
It's a dying proposition.
Fu Bi felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and the biggest possibility was that Zhao Zongjiang wanted to slander Zhao Zhonglian.
"How long does it take to get here from the Gunwang's Mansion?"
Zhao Zongjiang started to pull when he came home from the restaurant, how long did the two of them go from the county king's mansion to the palace? If you want to pull it, you will have to pull it a long time ago.
Zhao Yunliang's face turned pale, he lowered his head, his eyes were more dazed, and his fists were clenched.
Why is this so?
There is no problem with breakfast in the Junwang Mansion, Zhao Zongjiang had a meal with Zhao Zhongjun after he went out, who is Zhao Zhongjun?
He was angry in his heart, but in the end it all turned dull and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is in a hurry...... Wrong people. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said with relief: "It's good to be kind, let's go." ”
Zhao Zhongliang responded, but Zhao Yunliang waited for a while.
He glanced at Zhao Zhongjun and thought to himself, could he really not have done this?
Zhao Yunliang was confused, but Zhao Zongjiang was dead and alive at home, who did it?
The two of them retired, and they heard Zhao Zhen say: "The matter of marrying Bo will be done immediately, I will naturally set an example, Zhu Qing ......"
"Ministers have an unshirkable responsibility."
"Good!"
Zhao Zhen's voice was more joyful: "Proposed decree, from now on, the royal family should not marry a daughter, it should be simple!" ”
The will was quickly delivered, and there were cheers and frustrations outside.
Those who cheered were those who had daughters in the family, and most of the people who were depressed were those who had sons in the family.
The role of the royal family in setting an example was huge, and it is said that on the same day, several couples who were talking about marriage reconsidered the dowry of the woman's family.
Someone came to the palace and sent the emperor's reward.
Shen An took the jade pendant and looked at it, feeling that it was not interesting.
Yang Mo came with a sad face.
"Beaten?"
"Yes."
Zhao Zhongjiao's methods can hide from everyone, but he can't hide Zhao Yunrang, who knows his details well.
Shen An was very relieved, and felt that it was best for the unlucky child to learn a lesson.
"The king of the county said that it was too dangerous, so I have to teach a lesson."
If the evidence is caught, Zhao Zhongjun's character will collapse.
Yang Mo took out a piece of jade pendant and said, "This is a gift from the king of the county, saying that it is for the little lady to play with." ”
This is a thank you gift, Shen An'an accepted it calmly, as for whether Zhao Zhongjiao's ass bloomed or not, he felt that it was best to bloom.
"The king of the county said that if you hadn't changed the wine glass immediately, I'm afraid this matter would be troublesome."
The restaurant didn't wash the dishes and chopsticks immediately, and this fatal habit almost made Zhao Zhongjun finished.
Zhao Zhongjun put the medicine in the rice wine, and then exchanged wine glasses.
