Chapter 219: Marriage Letter
"Change the law of household marriage!"
"Change the status quo of blind marriage and blind marriage in the Great Song Dynasty!"
As soon as this news came out, both the government and the opposition were shocked.
In the people, it is applauded, especially by the younger generation, and it is highly respected, without him! Just because getting married in this era is like opening a blind box, no matter how tall, short, fat, thin, black, white, beautiful or ugly, as long as you enter the cave room, you have to spend your life.
In particular, there are baby kisses, finger belly marriages, child daughters-in-law, miserable kisses and other marriage contracts that have been destined from birth, which makes people have no choice.
The traditional marriage contract is almost broken by parents and elders with various tricks, and it is simply how rough it is, which makes men and women all over the world miserable.
So when the vigorous love between Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao came out, the whole world was in an uproar, causing an uproar in Kaifeng City, and accusations were heard.
You must know that even the emperor can't control his marriage contract, if it weren't for the evil doctor Fan Zheng, it would be difficult to escape the tragedy if he was replaced by another person.
It is precisely because of this that the perfect love between the evil doctor Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao, the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty, made the younger generation of the Great Song Dynasty envious.
"Men and women must meet before marriage like Lord Fan and Li Cainu, although it is impossible to make the two fall in love at first sight, at least let the men and women understand each other in general." Zhang Dan said solemnly.
Wang Di nodded and said: "There are six ceremonies in traditional weddings: one is Nacai, two are name-asking, three are Naji, four are Nazheng, five are invited, and six are welcomed. ”
"It's a good idea!" Zhang Dian nodded happily.
Wang Di couldn't help showing a hint of pride, and turned his head to Fan Zheng on the side: "Fan Taicheng is a role model for the marriage of men and women in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what he thinks of Wang's strategy?" ”
Zhao Xu appointed the New Party and the Medical Party to jointly change the law and household marriage laws, and used Fan Zheng's wedding as a template to formulate a marriage between men and women, so it was natural to consult Fan Zheng's opinion, which made Wang Di have the idea of comparison.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Lord Wang allows men and women to meet and understand the first five ceremonies of the six wedding ceremonies, which can indeed greatly alleviate the current situation of blind marriage and blind marriage between men and women. ”
"Ugh!"
Wang Di was stunned for a moment, the many times the men and women met before the engagement he mentioned was only for ordinary wedding situations, but these situations had already been decided, even if the child daughter-in-law met every day, it would be difficult to change the status quo.
"In these cases, the marriage letter has been decided, and the marriage contract has taken effect according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, and these are a few cases that do not affect the overall situation." Wang Di waved his hand.
Fan Zheng shook his head slightly, the New Party is too impatient in doing things, only cares about the overall situation and ignores the interests of a small number of people, and the failure of the new law is mostly due to this, but the New Party has not yet learned its lesson.
"Fan believes that the key to solving the blind marriage of the Great Song Dynasty is not to meet men and women before marriage, but to meet in the marriage book!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"Marriage letters?"
Everyone in the New Party couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Fan Zheng in puzzlement.
Fan Zheng waved his hand, took out a big red wedding book, and put it in front of everyone.
"What's wrong with this marriage letter?" Fan Zheng asked the New Party.
After everyone circulated it, they saw that this marriage book was written with the names of both men and women, their birthdays, and the names of the matchmaker, the officiant, and the names of parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., which was a very traditional marriage book, and there was no problem.
"There is nothing wrong with this marriage letter being a traditional marriage certificate." Wang Di shook his head and said, this is a decent marriage letter, and there is no problem.
Fan Zheng sneered: "In Fan's opinion, this marriage book is full of problems! ”
Zhang Dian frowned and looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.
"Not to mention whether this marriage book is a blind marriage or not, just based on the paper of this marriage book, this is just an ordinary piece of rice paper! Handwritten marriage documents are easy to forge. Fan Zheng pointed to the paper of the marriage book.
Everyone disagreed, in their opinion, Fan Zheng was making a fuss about the marriage book, which was too much of a fuss.
"And although there are names of both men and women on the marriage book, but there is no signature of both men and women, the harm of blind marriage is so great, because both men and women have no right to refuse, and can only passively accept the words of the parents and the matchmaker. Fan Zheng said proudly.
"Whew!"
Everyone in the New Party couldn't help but pause, and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief. They didn't expect that Fan Zheng would really find the hidden flaws in the marriage book.
Now that the Great Song Dynasty has a fingerprint law, if men and women can voluntarily sign and draw a marriage to get married, what will happen after marriage, and naturally there will be no complaints.
"This method works!" Zhang Dian praised.
As the prime minister, he doesn't care about blind marriage between men and women, but makes it impossible for both men and women to disagree, and there is no personal drawing of both parties on the marriage book between the official family and Queen Meng, which may be one of the conditions for the abolition.
Fan Zheng continued: "And Fan believes that the wonderful use of the marriage book is more than that, the wedding and funeral marriage is related to the life of the people, the imperial court can print the marriage book uniformly, and bind the marriage book to the household registration, whether it is the wife into the husband's house, or the children born to the husband and wife, all need to have the marriage certificate as evidence before naturalization, so that the Song Dynasty hermit has nothing to hide." ”
"Wonderful!" Zhang Dian was suddenly stunned.
The most important role of the new law is to collect taxes, how to collect taxes, cracking down on hidden households is naturally the top priority, but every time the inventory of hidden households is thankless, it is even more difficult.
And men and women in the world can't escape marriage, and the marriage certificate and household registration are bound, and it is effortless to let the hidden household take the initiative to declare the household registration.
Zhang Dian couldn't help but sweep his eyes to Fan Zheng and Wang Di, both of whom are the third generation of the Fa-changing family, in comparison, Fan Zheng is much better than Wang Di.
Fan Zheng continued: "After talking about the marriage book, I'll talk about the method of reconciliation and divorce!" ”
"Heli!"
Everyone couldn't help but look weird, Fan Zheng's first evil recipe was to let a couple reconcile! I didn't expect that now the law of marriage will be changed and divorced.
Fan Zheng's face remained unchanged and said: "Since there is a big wedding, it is naturally reasonable, I think back then, didn't Empress Dowager Liu marry Zhenzong after He Li, and finally respected the position of the queen, and Empress Cao of Renzong also married into the palace after Heli. ”
The Northern Song Dynasty was still very tolerant of Heli, allowing Heli, and even the two queens were the daughters of Heli.
"First, those who do not have a marriage certificate or whose marriage book does not conform to the marriage law can be divorced, so that the harm of baby kissing, finger marriage, and child bride-in-law can be greatly reduced."
"Second, the doctor stipulates that people who are not suitable for marriage can be divorced!"
Third, there are husband and wife who are not in harmony, and cheating and domestic violence have become reasons for reconciliation.
………………
These things are not Fan Zheng's rigid copy according to the marriage law of later generations, but the Northern Song Dynasty was extremely tolerant of women and divorce, and civil divorce and remarriage abounded, and there was no discrimination from later generations, and it could even be described in one word - freedom of divorce.
This is also the reason why countless later generations admired the Great Song Dynasty, if there is an era that is most similar to later generations, it is the Northern Song Dynasty.
