Chapter 246: [Cheng Wenxiao wants to get married]
Some ministers have pointed out that most of the women in these statistics died of dystocia and miscarriage, but some died of other causes. Moreover, dystocia and miscarriage are not all caused by young age, and there are also poor medical conditions in small places, and pregnant women cannot be treated when they are sick, resulting in death. So it's a bit distorted for such a high mortality rate in the statistics.
Many ministers agree with this statement, but while they agree, they do not ignore the cruel reality shown by the data.
So more ministers think that in order to restore the population of the Tang Dynasty, it is still possible to advocate late marriage.
When this consciousness became the mainstream among all ministers, there was opposition from another minister.
Recently, there has been a rumor among the people, saying that His Majesty wants to make a new law, stipulating that women can only marry after the age of 17, so many people with daughters are in a hurry to marry their daughters.
This reflects that public opinion does not welcome late marriage, and if it is forcibly implemented, it may cause public dissatisfaction!
Uncle Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty once said that the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat or capsize the boat. I hope Your Majesty thinks twice! ”
After Uncle Wei finished speaking, a bad voice sounded among the ministers: "I heard that Wei Zheng has a granddaughter who is almost fifteen years old, but I am afraid that he is afraid that his granddaughter will not be able to marry!" ”
As soon as I heard this voice, I knew that it was Lao Cheng who had just been released for a long time!
When Wei Zheng heard this, his body trembled with anger, and he turned his head and glared at the old man Cheng Cheng biting gold.
Lao Li stretched out his hand to suppress them, and now everyone has reached a consensus that it is good to marry late, but the people do not accept it for the time being.
If as long as Lao Li says something, the people will listen to him, then what else does Lao Li want these ministers to do?
So everyone began to think about this feasible way to implement it.
After discussing for a long time, it was determined that there needs to be a trial example to come out, and then a model is erected, and then slowly promoted, widely known, and accepted by the people, and then some people begin to follow suit, and then the law is introduced, and it can be implemented!
"Okay, then start with my royal children, the princesses who have been married before are not among them, and the other princesses who are not married will come out of the cabinet after the age of seventeen. The same is true of the other princes. Let my sons and daughters make a leading pattern for the women of the world! Lao Li said.
The ministers immediately patted Lao Li's sycophants, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, first praised Lao Li's righteous act, and then said that he would follow in the footsteps of Lao Li, and his own children would remarry after the age of seventeen like the royal princess. And the marriage between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong, because Princess Changle is not yet seventeen years old, the eldest grandson's family temporarily withdrew from the marriage and waited for Princess Changle to be seventeen years old before discussing it.
The eldest grandson Wuji's move shocked many ministers, and everyone didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing with the dead fat man, so they couldn't guess the purpose behind the eldest grandson Wuji's move while being shocked, so they thought that the eldest grandson Wuji was to support Lao Li's late marriage policy. Don't let Lao Li seem too lonely.
As a result, the image of the eldest grandson Wuji has suddenly improved countless times among the ministers, and he has become so tall!
Wei Zheng stood up and said excitedly: "The minister Wei Zheng is also willing to follow His Majesty, and the minister's granddaughters will not marry until they are seventeen years old!" ”
Fang Xuanling also stood up and said, "The same is true of the minister!" ”
The ministers who followed them all stood up in an uproar, and they all said that they would raise their daughters until they were seventeen years old and then marry.
Wei Zhengren has good eyesight, and when he saw Lao Cheng who couldn't sit still, he snorted: "Is Cheng Zhijie willing to marry his daughter early?" ”
Lao Cheng couldn't sit still, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "Don't worry, my daughter is not allowed to be raised at home!" ”
Fang Xuanling was afraid of causing contradictions, so he smiled and played a round game: "Hehe, it's good to keep it!" ”
After the adjournment of the meeting.
Lao Cheng immediately ran home and shouted, "Oh no, no!" ”
Cheng's mother helped Lao Cheng sit on the chair and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Where's the wine?"
"She's playing with her brothers in the backyard!" Cheng's mother said.
"Do you know what the court said today, His Majesty wants the daughters and granddaughters of the ministers to follow the princesses and raise them until they are seventeen years old to be able to marry, I didn't agree at the time, why don't you run home quickly, thinking about marrying Xiaojiu soon, otherwise who wants to raise a big girl!"
"Huh? And what's going on? Cheng's mother was surprised, "This majesty is really, why do you even have to care when the daughter of a courtier is going to get married?" ”
"Don't say it, go and get the wine!" Lao Cheng pushed Cheng's mother and said.
Cheng's mother hurriedly went down, and after a while, Cheng Wenxiao and three bear-level men followed Cheng's mother in, all sweating, one of them was Cheng Chuliang, who had visited the red light district with Li Chengqian's brothers!
"Dad, what are you looking for the four of us?" Cheng Chuliang asked.
Lao Cheng glared at the three sons who were almost clones of him, and waved his hand: "I didn't call you, all go out." ……”
The sons knew Lao Cheng's temper, and turned around and left as soon as they heard it. Lao Cheng hurriedly called out to them again, and said, "You two bastards should be careful if you want to take concubines in the future, you are not allowed to enter the door under the age of seventeen, otherwise the old man will break your dog's legs!" ”
When the three bears heard this, they looked at each other strangely, this is less than seventeen years old and still a fart?
As soon as they fought, Lao Cheng flew out with a teapot, and the second child was recruited, and the three of them hurriedly responded and ran away. When I left the hall, I heard their laughter and laughter.
Lao Cheng ignored his three sons, and when he faced his son, he was the face of the demon king, turned his head to look at the face of Cheng Wenxiao, who had become the best father in the world, and asked with a smile: "Xiaojiu, dad asked you, do you have a favorite person?" ”
"Daddy......" Cheng Wenxiao lowered her head in shame when she heard it.
"Tell Dad, except for the prince, everyone else will tell you that Dad will marry you off immediately!" Lao Cheng has always been straight to the point.
"Huh?" Cheng Wenxiao was taken aback, looked up and asked, "Why is Dad in such a hurry to marry his daughter?" ”
"Because Your Majesty is nosy, I want you to marry after the age of seventeen!" Lao Cheng reluctantly told his daughter what happened in the palace, "That's it, I don't know which one said such a stinky idea to Your Majesty!" ”
Seventeen? A picture suddenly popped up in Cheng Wenxiao's mind, that hateful person said at the time that he would wait until she was seventeen years old, he wouldn't be the right and wrong, right?
"I think that kid from the Qin family is good, what's his name, Qin Huaidao, yes, marry him if you don't drink a little wine!"
