A voice of opposition suddenly sounded! Yu Wenhao remained very calm, knowing that there would be opposition. Every time a policy is implemented, it must be opposed by a large number of people.
got used to.
He slowly took a sip of water and asked Eunuch Mu Ru to step down. He sat on a high position and watched the people below talking heatedly and excitedly.
The reason for changing the marriage system is not because he learned the world of his mother's family, but because he has experienced it since he was a child. What does a child of thirteen or four years old know?
Sixteen or seventeen is also the time to study, and the mind is not fully mature. This does not rule out the possibility of some talented and intelligent people. The marriageable system is for the people of the entire Northern Tang Dynasty, and they are all ordinary people.
He heard Lao Yuan say that their world was like that of the Northern Tang Dynasty many years ago, with blind marriages and mute marriages, and a lifetime of not knowing what love was.
From a living perspective, blind marriage is indeed beneficial. After all, the marriage is arranged.
But people can't just live. People have feelings and emotions. Blind marriage does not rule out the possibility of finding the right one, but the chances are too small.
The aristocrats say they are well-matched.
People choose those who can work and have children.
Feelings don't even deserve to be mentioned.
As the country becomes richer, it should also improve spiritually.
Of course, he knew that it would not be possible to implement it so quickly, but someone had to bring it up.
There is no rule in any country that cannot be broken.
If a country is governed by a set of rules, it will always lead to decline.
It's good to start a quarrel, but the worst thing you can do is throw out a solution and leave it silent, which would be bad.
At the end of the quarrel, Yu Wenhao announced his resignation from the court, and all the officials gathered around Chief Leng, asking him to persuade the emperor.
However, Yu Wenhao also has several close ministers. No matter what decision Yu Wenhao makes, these close ministers will support him and be responsible for setting the pace. Among them, the Fourth Master Leng Shoufu and several princes are the leaders.
Therefore, when everyone gathered around Leng Shoufu, Leng Shoufu pondered for a moment and said: "What the emperor said is not unreasonable."
Everyone was shocked, but then someone said: "Why does it make sense?
The emperor said those words of a saint, even the lower officials have never heard of them, who is a saint?"
"I don't know. The emperor has read a lot of books, so there must be some sources."
Leng Shoufu said.
There is no way to convince everyone with this sentence.
This sentence is even a bit of a joke.
Leng Shoufu said: "It is beneficial to the Northern Tang Dynasty to change the marriage system. My lords, think about it. Teenagers are the time to study and gain fame. If you get married at this time, your studies will inevitably be delayed. Men of this age are full of blood.
When Fang Gang was here, you all have been there, so you should understand."
The chief assistant also supported the emperor in this way, and all the gentlemen lost the last gold medal to convince the emperor, so they had no choice but to leave in despair.
Fame is naturally important, but if you have a family and a career, how can you establish a career if you don't have a family?
And this is a traditional rule. If a woman doesn't talk about marriage until she is eighteen years old, wouldn't it be delayed for a few more years if a relative in the family dies?
Do you have to wait until you are twenty to get married?
Some veterans thought about it and felt that this was really unnecessary, so they united a few people and went to Prince Su's Mansion to find the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor was nowhere to be found. The Supreme Emperor had already said that he would ignore court affairs. When he saw some ministers coming to pay their respects, he first asked at the mountain pass what the purpose of his visit was. If he talked about court affairs, he would not accept them.
The Supreme Emperor completely believed in the Emperor. Only the Supreme Emperor could help with a few words. Moreover, Mr. Chu was also in Prince Su's Mansion, so Mr. Chu would probably object.
Little did he know that when he arrived at Prince Su's Mansion and saw the three giants and reported the matter, the Supreme Emperor was very puzzled and said: "What's the problem with postponing the marriage for two or three years?"
"This...but this has always been the rule."
"Historically, people only got married in their twenties."
The old minister was anxious, "That's a very rare case, but if there is a law, it cannot be violated. There are people who get married at the age of thirteen. Do we want them to change it?"
"I feel that I really shouldn't get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen."
The Supreme Emperor actually agreed with Yu Wenhao's suggestion.
Mr. Chu also said: "The Zhou rites record that men marry at thirty and women at twenty. This shows that early marriage is not a traditional rule, and I also agree with the emperor."
