Until now, the only person in the Great Song Dynasty who publicly stated that he wanted to overthrow the status of the official family and went to the gate of the imperial city to block the official family without being killed was Yang Shufei's brother Yang Liangjie. At that time, Zhao Jiaren didn't want to kill Yang Liangjie, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty also had a new judicial system after the trial of Song traitors. Yang Liangjie was imprisoned for a while for 'disturbing social order', and then quietly released. As a hero who resolutely resisted the Mongol invasion in those years, disturbing social order could not cancel his treatment.

Because of Zhang Shijie's reuse in the Northern Expedition, many people know that Yang Liangjie regained some opportunities for the next generation of the Yang family because he took care of Yang Shufei after giving birth. Yang Shufei was taken care of by her family after her second husband Zhang Shijie participated in the Northern Expedition. In the face of the tide of the times, this family did not fall apart because of various twists and turns, and relied on supporting each other to stabilize their foothold.

But the empress dowager and concubines who were taken to the north by the Mongols after the surrender of Lin'an were completely different. Their families 'sold' them into the palace in exchange for benefits, and they were swept away by the tide of the times. Ten years after everything had changed, those people didn't think that these women were still part of their family. gave it to the Zhao family, and they are the people of the Zhao family.

In the end, there is no unified conclusion about Xie Daoqing and the concubine for the time being, and although the high-ranking officials are interested in this matter, they do not want to get involved. Zhao Jiaren felt that these people were facing it with the mentality of seeing the rare.

When the morning meeting ended, Sima Kao took Ding Fei to see Zhao Jiaren. Sima Kao asked, "Has the official family considered rebuilding the cold palace?" ”

"Cold Palace......" Zhao Jiaren was silent.

As a straight man, Zhao Jiaren has no interest in things like palace fights. So what is the cold palace, he has only heard of it. Sima Kao was obviously familiar with these, and he looked at Zhao Jiaren's expression and explained a little.

Cold palace is a general term that refers to the place in the palace where the monarch places the concubines and princes who have fallen out of favor. Generally speaking, there is no such a special palace, and the so-called cold palace is actually abolished, and no longer enjoys the treatment of all royals. He was locked up in a dilapidated and deserted palace and could not come out, without enough food and clothing. Coupled with the huge psychological gap, coupled with the place where jealousy is rampant in the palace, he basically won't live long.

After saying this, Zhao Jiaren immediately understood what was going on. And Sima Kao seemed to be unsatisfied, and continued to tell the secrets of the cold palace. In the impression of ordinary people, the concubines who enter the harem are generally concubines who have done something wrong or fallen out of favor, in fact, as an emperor, a man rarely puts his women into the cold palace. The emperor is very busy, and he has to deal with major affairs in the court every day, and the harem is almost always taken care of by the queen, and it is one of the queen's duties to send the concubines into the cold palace. As long as the emperor doesn't like it very much, the favorite concubine who has to see every day, it is nothing to miss one or two women.

"You mean, I'll take these women in first, and then let the queens send them into the cold palace?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

Hearing this answer, Ding Fei, who was just listening to knowledge, shuddered with disgust. As the former director of the Anti-Rape Committee, Ding Fei immediately understood what Zhao Jiaren said, and felt very unhappy about this shady practice.

Sima Kao didn't think there was anything wrong, the reason why the cold palace appeared was because the royal family had a clear need in this regard. For thousands of years, thorny problems like Zhao Jiaren's current are by no means only once or twice, and the previous royal family was also very distressed in order to solve this kind of problem, and in the end, everyone finally came up with corresponding means, and the conventions have been handed down.

So Sima Kao persuaded: "The official family, those women are originally from the Zhao family, no matter how unhappy the official family is, everyone sees it this way." Honestly, people like us who know the story of the palace feel that the official family is too kind when we see that the official family actually let Concubine Yang Shu remarry. Marrying Zhang Shijie is already the best result for Yang Shufei. ”

Zhao Jiaren was stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect that someone could really see this kindness. Although the power struggle is extremely fierce, the snatching of official status is even more so. However, Zhao Jiaren still hopes to be as kind as possible and less brutal. However, Zhao Jiaren didn't dare to hope that his kindness could be recognized by everyone.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Jiaren spoke: "I don't agree with the existence of the cold palace. And I want to talk about it farther, about my personal ideals. I know that men like to have sex with more women, and I am personally against concubinage. Monogamy is good. And husband and wife can live together if they can't, and if they can't, they will be separated. This is the basic content of the marriage law that I hope to enact. ”

For such a remark, Sima Kao looked completely confused, but Ding Fei nodded violently with his eyes shining.

Zhao Jiaren continued: "If these women are guilty, then the procuratorate will file a lawsuit, and the Dali Temple will try them, and the judicial rights and interests of the defendants will also be guaranteed through the lawyer and other systems. If the crime of shooting is reached, once the final judgment is made, it will be a canonical sentence. This system has performed very well in the process of trying Song traitors, and has also been recognized by everyone. The cold palace is a lynching, and it is illegal to engage in lynching. I can't take it. ”

Sima Kao knew Zhao Jiaren's temperament, and his words were not aimed at anyone. But his suggestion was rejected like this, and he was not happy in his heart. So Sima Kao said: "If the official family sees it like this, the minister thinks it would be good to hand over these people to institutions such as shop and housekeeping." ”

The shop is in charge of low-rent housing, which also provides a certain social assistance function. If the Great Song royal family refused to admit that these women were members of the Zhao family, they could theoretically be handed over to the social assistance department.

After listening to such a suggestion, Zhao Jiaren felt that such a way of handling it was strange. However, it is completely administered according to law. Finally, Zhao Jiaren sighed and said, "I'll think about it again." ”

Seeing Zhao Jiaren like this, Sima Kao got up and said goodbye. However, after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Guanjia, if you drive these women out of the Zhao family, there will definitely be many people who want to talk about the official family." If they are in a hurry, the officials will have to arrest them and those who use their gossip and put them in prison. If that's the case in the end, why bother? Now they are sent to the cold palace, one has an attitude, and the other is that with the benevolence of the official family, they will not be tortured to death. Alas......, the official family can do whatever they want. ”

Seeing Sima Kao leave with great strides after leaving these weighty words, Ding Fei, who had also gotten up and left together, was a little embarrassed. In the end, he chose to leave. Because Ding Fei found that he had no advice to say. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, let alone the family affairs of the heavenly family.

In terms of martial arts, the Great Song Dynasty now recognizes that Zhao Guanjia is the strongest military commander in the 322 years of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and even famous generals such as Di Qing and Yue Fei are far inferior. Ding Fei felt that he was doing things in the court of the Zhao official family, and the whole person was becoming more and more understanding and growing.

However, this was not enough for Ding Fei to feel that he could solve the problem at hand. Everyone knows that Ding Fei was arranged to take over the judiciary, and Ding Fei himself knows it. Therefore, he knew very well that the Zhao Guanjia was adhering to the idea, insisting on the rule of the country and the country, and opposing lynching. But judging from the results, Zhao Guanjia's persistence faces the cruel reality.

Compared with the concept of completely spreading out in the light, the shady methods of the dynasties and dynasties are the tricks that have been carefully considered. It makes sense, and it doesn't bother irrelevant people.

Thinking of this, Ding Fei found that he had arrived in front of the carriage. He got into the carriage and reluctantly lit a cigarette. He really wanted to give advice to Zhao Guan's family and solve their troubles under the concept that Zhao Jiaren agreed with. However, after thinking about it, Ding Fei found that his talent was not stronger than that of the talented people in the past.

Zhao Jiaren did not know that his subordinates were so loyal to him, and he had already started another task, discussing the development of the Huai River valley. Lianghuai refers to the Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the recent focus of the Great Song Dynasty economy. The Zhao clan moved south and was bounded by the Huai River with the Jin Kingdom. In addition, the Yellow River went south to seize the Huai River into the sea, and the originally rich Lianghuai River basin was greatly damaged.

Since the recovery of Henan, the northward movement of the Yellow River, and the fact that the Song army had a foothold north of the Yellow River, although the people of the Great Song Dynasty had doubts about the development of Henan, they no longer had any worries about the development of Lianghuai. Moreover, the Zhao official family once rented and purchased a large amount of land in Lianghuai, and the last land state-owned system in Lianghuai is finally about to be completed.

In charge of the meeting were the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Guanjia was the chairman, and the meeting was attended by the two Huai Zhizhou. Wen Tianxiang, who is very important to Zhao Jiaren, also attended the meeting as an observer.

The department in charge of the living notes has now become the Secretariat, and all government meetings and school meetings must be recorded by a clerk. At this time, the clerks prepared pen and paper and waited to record the content of the meeting. Soon, the officials sat down at the long table, and everyone took out their notebooks and prepared to speak and take notes.

The Ministry of Agriculture made a speech first, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Lianghuai River basin has suffered many natural disasters and ecological disasters due to the problem of the Yellow River, but fortunately, the official family ordered the Yellow River to return to the north, and this situation has finally begun to reverse. The accumulation of large amounts of sediment has created an ecological disaster, and we can also take advantage of it. In Lianghuai, there are many places that are not suitable for growing crops, and cotton can be grown. ”

The officials were exposed to many new terms, although the nouns came from Zhao Jiaren, but because these terms were simple and easy to use, everyone naturally learned them. The Ministry of Agriculture's view is quite simple: they want to promote cotton cultivation and mulberry cultivation in the Huai River Valley, so that the two Huai River can develop cash crops and textile industries.

Many officials of the two Huai originally wanted to take notes, but after listening to this overall plan, many people listened carefully, simply put down their pens and listened attentively. Wen Tianxiang looked over, and many Zhizhou were happy.
