Chapter 408: Visiting Pei Lian

The concept proposed by Li Xiu can be summed up in one word, that is, eugenics, reducing the adverse effects of close relatives marriage and early marriage, these things are almost common sense in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty it seems a little too advanced, and finally Li Shimin finally made a compromise decision after careful consideration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The law of not marrying with the same surname has been revised, and according to Li Xiu's opinion, it has been changed to close relatives not marrying, but other relationships among close relatives are easy to handle, after all, the ethics of Central Plains culture also have this content, and the only trouble is the relationship between cousins and sisters, because the people of the Central Plains originally pay attention to kissing and kissing, and cousins and sisters are very common, so it is too difficult to implement this article.

Faced with this situation, Li Shimin discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiu for a while, and finally decided not to prohibit the marriage of cousins and sisters, but when the cousins and sisters get married, they need to pay a fine to the government, which is not very much but not a lot, such as Chang'an and its surroundings are consistent, while other state capitals need to be formulated according to the local standard of living, which requires the eldest grandson Wuji to discuss with the ministers in detail.

As for the other postponement of a woman's marriage age, this is also very tricky, because before the Tang Dynasty stipulated that a woman must marry at fifteen, and the folk atmosphere is the same, at most, some women did not marry for special reasons, such as filial piety or hidden diseases, etc., if it is postponed to eighteen all of a sudden, it will definitely cause strong dissatisfaction among the people, and may even cause chaos, after all, in many people's concepts, the daughter is a loser, so she naturally wants to marry early, so as to reduce the burden on the family.

It is precisely in consideration of the above that Li Shimin and Li Xiu discussed for a long time, and finally decided not to force women to marry at an age, but to advocate that women get married at eighteen, and the imperial court will also set up a reward, if a woman is more than eighteen years old, she can get a certain amount of copper money reward, and the amount of the reward has not been determined, which also needs to be discussed specifically.

Li Xiu was not very satisfied with the above compromise decisions, but he also knew that Li Shimin was able to make so many changes just because of his words, mainly because of his trust in him, and there was indeed too much resistance to this matter, so in the end, he not only did not complain, but helped Li Shimin find a way.

When it was getting late, Li Xiu left Li Shimin here and went to see Li Yuan, but at this time Li Yuan had already drunk the medicine and fell asleep, and Princess Pingyang was talking to the eldest grandson, and when she saw Li Xiu coming in, she stood up and said to the eldest grandson: "Father, the emperor has to worry about you here, as for Lizhi, she will live with me for a while, and I will take her into the palace when I am free!" ”

"Thank you, sister, I am naturally responsible for this side of the palace, you don't have to worry too much, it is most important to raise the fetus with peace of mind!" At this time, the eldest grandson bowed to Princess Yingying of Pingyang.

At that moment, Princess Pingyang nodded, and then left with Li Xiu, if she was not pregnant, she would definitely stay in the palace for a few more days to take care of her father, but now her body is not convenient, and she usually needs to be taken care of by others, plus she doesn't like the atmosphere in the palace, so she can only go back.

A few days later, Li Yuan's condition did not improve, which was also the news that Li Xiu learned through Sun Simiao, and finally Li Shimin finally moved Li Yuan to Da'an Palace, but then the entire Da'an Palace was listed as a forbidden place, and even the adjacent Beiyuan was strictly forbidden for anyone to approach, but after moving there, Li Yuan was freer, he could walk around freely in Da'an Palace, and even sometimes he could go to Beiyuan to play, it is estimated that his body should slowly recover.

In addition to Li Yuan's move to Da'an Palace, the biggest news in the past few days is the news of Pei Lian's resignation, known as the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, at Pei Yuan's level, resignation is definitely not a trivial matter, and it is even more sensational than Li Yuan's relocation to Da'an Palace, and Li Shimin pretended to stay a few times, and finally approved Pei Lian's request to resign, but he gave him a false title, and the number of restaurants has increased to 1,500, which is more than the average prince.

"Husband, my father has moved to Da'an Palace, which has just been built, and I don't know what it looks like, shall we visit my father again when we have time?" As soon as dinner was eaten that evening, Princess Pingyang said to Li Xiu.

"It's right to visit Your Majesty, but you don't run anymore, I'll go again tomorrow, and I can also call Pei Xiang, saying it hurts your daughter's heart a little, Pei Xiang seems to be happier when he goes." Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time, Pei Lin had already moved out of Chang'an, and he lived in the courtyard in Nanshan, and he had invited him to go over to play before, but Li Xiu didn't have time for the time being, after all, there were too many things at home, so he couldn't get out.

"Hehe, what am I sad about, Pei Xiang is his father's confidant, the two used to eat, drink and have fun together every day, and now Pei Xiang has also resigned, if he can accompany his father more, he will definitely make his father's mood more comfortable, but you go back, you must not let your father drink again!" Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu's words but smiled indifferently, Li Xiu didn't want her to run around, and she could understand, so she had already agreed to Li Xiu's proposal.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go to Pei Xiang tomorrow!" Li Xiu saw that Princess Pingyang agreed, and immediately put this matter down and said, Princess Pingyang has been pregnant for a long time, and now her body is becoming more and more clumsy, and she will give birth in two months, so he naturally doesn't want her to work hard.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu asked people to prepare a carriage and prepare to go to the courtyard in Nanshan to find Pei Lian, but just as he was about to get on the car in the front yard, he suddenly saw Lizhi running over, and when he saw him, his eyes immediately lit up and said, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

"Hehe, my uncle is going to Nanshan to visit an elder!" Li Xiu also bent down and replied with a smile, Sun Simiao has sorted out a few of the most basic movements of Taijiquan, and then taught Li Xiu, Li Xiu will teach Li Xiu to practice every morning, although there is no effect for the time being, but if you stick to it for a long time, it will always play a certain role.

"Nanshan! Isn't that where Mingkong lives? Hearing Li Xiu's answer, Xiao Lizhen's eyes immediately lit up, and then she suddenly grabbed Li Xiu's sleeve and begged, "Uncle and uncle, can you take me to Nanshan to play, I can also visit Mingkong, she has said many times that she wants to invite me to play at home!" ”

During this time, Wu Mingkong also came to class every day, although she was small, but her mouth was very sweet, although there were some small conflicts when she first met Lizhi, but it was quickly resolved, plus the two were close in age, but they became the best friends, and even Lizhi was clamoring to learn from Li Xiu, but her little brain melon was not as smart as Mingkong, so for the time being, Princess Pingyang laid the foundation for her.

"Huh? This ......" Li Xiu didn't expect Lizhi to make such a request, and he also showed a look of embarrassment at the moment, although the courtyard of Pei Lian's family and the courtyard of the martial arts family are not on the same mountain, they are also next to each other, and they are not far away, it is okay to take Lizhi with him, but Lizhi is so small, if there is no one to take care of it, he is really not at ease.

"Husband, let's take Lizhi with you, it's not good for children to stay at home all the time, and I'll send them over with helmets, and they'll take care of Lizi!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Princess Pingyang coming over and said, she also hoped that Lizhi would go out for a walk.

"Alright then, let's get into the carriage together!" Hearing that Princess Pingyang also agreed, Li Xiu finally nodded, and then said goodbye to Princess Pingyang with Lizhi, and then went to the front yard, helmet and other maids also followed, and there was also a guard in the house, since the incident of Wang Junkuo last time, Li Xiu has become very careful every time he travels, and Princess Pingyang no longer worries that he goes out alone, so every time he travels, it is mighty, which makes Li Xiu quite helpless.

Nanshan was not far from Li Xiu's side, and soon came to the foot of Nanshan, Li Xiu first sent Lizhi to the gate of the martial arts courtyard, a few days ago, the warrior Tong finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the imperial court, and was forced to go to Lizhou helplessly, leaving only the old and young of the family to live here, so Li Xiu did not enter the door, and after watching the helmet and Lizhi enter the martial family, he turned to Pei Lian.

Pei Lone's courtyard is on a few hills next to it, compared to other houses, Pei Lone's house can no longer be called an annex, but to be called a manor, because the scale of his family's courtyard is too large, and several small hills are included at once, there are streams and small lakes in the mountains, and you can usually hunt in your own courtyard, which makes people look red, but this can't be helped, because this courtyard used to belong to the royal family, and it was regarded as a temporary palace, and was later directly rewarded to Pei Lin by Li Yuan, which is naturally not an ordinary courtyard.

As soon as Li Xiu's carriage entered the range of Pei Xi's courtyard, someone immediately came up to ask, and when Li Xiu reported his name, the people of the Pei family suddenly became very polite, and then led them to wear woods and rivers, and finally came to a large-scale building complex, which is a land of mountains and mountains, built against the green mountains, which looks grand and chic.

After all, this was originally a palace, and when it was originally given to Pei Lian, it was only the royal symbol on the construction that was taken down, but the building still had a strong royal style. Then Li Xiu was led into a hall, and a beautiful maid brought tea.

After another moment, I immediately heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then I saw Pei Xiao walking in quickly, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately laughed and said: "Don Ma, you are finally here, it just so happens that I have something to look for you, if you don't come, I have to visit in person!" ”

However, when Li Xiu saw Pei Lian, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise and puzzlement: "Pei Xiang, you...... How do you dress up like this? (To be continued.) )
