To gain an inch, you must first get an inch, in order to go further, and when seeking an inch, the opponent is not a fool, and he will bargain.

Etiquette is more difficult to change than law, because etiquette is the foundation of governing the country, and the formulation of all laws and regulations must conform to etiquette, to put it bluntly, etiquette is equivalent to the constitution in feudal society;

So Zhao Hanzhang just stretched out her tentacles, even her subordinates, many of them were opposed, and more were silent.

For their identity, clinging to Zhao Hanzhang but choosing to remain silent is already a statement.

Zhao Hanzhang was able to move Ji Yuan and Ming to express his position, also because they knew that she was Xiang Zhuang Wujian and intended to be Pei Gong, so they were willing to help her.

If she really changed her rituals, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu might not be willing to agree.

How can something that has been ingrained for thousands of years be so easy to change?

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and asked sadly: "You are against my marriage system, and you are also against the inheritance bill and household registration reform in Fan Yushishu, do you not want to have female officials in the court?" ”

Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, you are the biggest female official, who dares to object?

All the officials knelt down one after another, bowed their heads and said, "The officials don't dare." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at them silently, and saw them in a cold sweat before he asked: "The bill and the household registration reform are just that, and the secretary and others all prevaricate that the New Year is approaching, and it is not good to discuss it." This marriage system is just a matter of one sentence, just in time for the New Year to promulgate, so that many newlyweds follow the new marriage system, and after the New Year, there is no need for the court to bother, you can spread ten, ten to follow suit. ”

The officials gritted their teeth and couldn't help but look at Ji Yuan and Ming Yu.

But he saw that they lowered their heads and avoided the eyes of everyone.

Chang Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a long time and said: "The general is newly married today, and the matter of the bill and the household registration reform is better to discuss it after the New Year, as for the marriage system, this is a ceremony, and the etiquette is not clear, and it has to be argued, what does Zhao Saijiu think?" ”

Zhao Cheng said: "The newlywed system doesn't work. ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he glared at him and said, "Shut up, this is your own family, can you speak?" ”

Zhao Cheng ignored him.

Zhao Hanzhang chuckled and said: "It's not up to Zhao Saijiu to have the final say, why don't we recruit the world's wise men to argue?" ”

The officials' hearts tightened, but they had to respond.

Zhao Hanzhang got up and said: "It's not early, let's go back and rest first, the hospitality is not good, and I will personally come to apologize to you in a few days." ”

Everyone was busy saying that they didn't dare.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Then everyone saluted and retreated in an orderly manner.

When he walked to the back, he found Princess Hongnong and Fu Xuan standing at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly made another gesture and retreated sideways.

Emma, it's so scary, I wonder if the general and the princess will fight?

Princess Hongnong waited for them to leave before coming over, and saw Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan sitting at a table with a bowl of rice and eating happily.

Seeing Princess Hongnong and Fu Xuan coming, he hurriedly got up, "Have your father and mother eaten?" Would you like to sit down and eat some? ”

Fu Xuan was dumbfounded, and before he could shake his hand, Princess Hongnong had already stepped forward and sat down, "Okay." ”

The servant immediately brought a bowl of rice and two plates of reheated food.

The country has just settled down, everyone is short of food, although tonight did not drink to the end, but the dishes have already been eaten, it can be seen that her subordinates have done a good job.

Zhao Hanzhang put a few plates of dishes that were still good at first glance in front of the princess, turned his head and said: "You have cleaned up the rest, keep what you can, don't waste what you can't keep, don't you raise a lot of livestock in Zhuangzi?" ”

The next person should be happy to go down.

Princess Hongnong lowered her eyes, picked a piece of vegetables, and asked, "What laws and regulations do you want to change, and you have to plan so laboriously?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang didn't hide it, Fan Ying's excerpt is not a secret, Princess Hongnong and others can also inquire, "When the first Han and Lu were in power, women also had the right to inherit property, but then this regulation was gradually abolished, I want to improve it, from now on, women also have the right to inherit property, and in addition to money and slaves, there are fields, houses, shops, and even sacrificial fields and titles, women can inherit." ”

Princess Hongnong clenched her chopsticks, "Inherit it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "No, it's just a general inheritance, and it depends on their own choice." ”

"Then the son-in-law may enter the court?"

"Of course you can," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "They all have the rights that ordinary people have, just like the wives in the family, they have the rights of their husbands, and their sons-in-law can naturally have the rights of their wives." ”

Isn't despising a son-in-law a manifestation of contempt for his wife?

If you want equality between men and women, that is, the equality of wives and husbands, and the equality of sons-in-law and wives and husbands; And rights come from obligations.

Is it a dream or a pipe dream to achieve equality in this era, and it will not be realized in the world more than a thousand years later.

What Zhao Hanzhang can do is to fight for something and give women some rights and interests in terms of laws and regulations, but no one knows what step can be done in reality.

At that time, more than 70 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still many people who thought that married daughters had no right to inherit their parents' inheritance, let alone now?

Anyway, no matter how far she can go, she first set up the laws and regulations, so that women in need can have laws to follow and examples to follow when they need them.

Princess Hongnong: "Then what they say about the household registration reform is ......"

"Establish a female household," Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have relaxed the conditions for setting up a female household, for example, a widow with a young child, according to the law of this dynasty, the head of the household is changed to her son, but the child is the head of the household, which is inconvenient. ”

"For another example, a widow with a young daughter, according to the law of this dynasty, can not be established as a female household, her in-laws, uncles, and even her mother's father and brother can be the head of the household, unless she remarries, otherwise she has to take the young daughter to live dependent on others, I think it is very inconvenient, in such a situation, can be established as a female household."

The reform of the household registration is not only in the widow's point, but also in a variety of subtle situations, Zhao Hanzhang and Fan Ying and others have tried their best to detail, in addition to the restructuring of the female household, there are other new household registrations, her purpose is to encourage them to have more children, more households, more taxes to a variety of land.

Princess Hongnong asked, "It's hard to change the regulations, right?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at her: "If you can't do it this year, work hard next year, if you don't succeed next year, I will change a etiquette system, and then continue the year after tomorrow, Jiali is only one of the five ceremonies, in addition to military etiquette, auspicious etiquette, murderous etiquette and guest etiquette, as long as they can stand it, I will change a little bit a year, and I can change it for 20 years." ”

Rites are used for education, not only to restrain the people, but also to restrain the emperor and magnates.

Princess Hongnong lowered her eyes and thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty also has no opinion?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled softly: "Your Majesty has no opinion. ”
