Chapter 349 Li Shimin only has interests in his eyes
Li Shimin did not agree with the legislation.
He was only considering the benefits that legislation would bring to him and the court.
If the benefits are sufficient, he will support it, let alone a child protection law, a women's protection law or even more harsh laws.
"Your Majesty, I think we should invite the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple to come and discuss this."
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must ask for their opinions before we can prescribe the right medicine.
"Inform the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple!"
Li Shimin nodded.
After thinking about it, he also wanted to hear their thoughts.
Not long after, Liu Zhenghui and Li Daozong arrived one after another.
Liu Zhenghui came first, but he asked to wait until Li Daozong arrived.
"Your Majesty, the child protection law proposed by Minister Fang will benefit the people and the world, and I think it can be implemented!"
Li Daozong didn't know that Liu Zheng would be waiting for him, so when Li Shimin asked, he gave the reason he had prepared.
"Your Majesty, I think so too."
"Although women are not in a refined society, it is necessary to protect them as they grow up. After all, they will become mothers."
Liu Zhenghui echoed.
Also say the words you prepared.
At the same time, I was shocked and shocked that Fang Yuan could convince Li Daozong so quickly.
It’s really amazing. I don’t know how Fang Yuan persuaded Li Daozong. I’ll have to ask later.
"It's true that they will become mothers, but many girls can have children at the age of thirteen, twelve, or even eleven."
"When the Tang Dynasty is recuperating and recuperating, it is time to increase the population. This child protection law is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse!"
"The empresses of the Tang Dynasty all got married at the age of twelve. Women all over the world should follow suit. How could such a law be established to imply that the empress got married wrongly?"
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
I was even more furious.
The emperor has promised to betroth Princess Changle to Changsun Chong, and they will get married two years later.
Nowadays, laws like the Child Protection Law are being introduced. Isn’t it deliberately targeting the eldest grandson’s family?
"Your Majesty, I also feel that now is the time for the world to increase its population."
Look at Li Daozong and Liu Zhenghui and wait for their rebuttal.
"Your Majesty, you have to ask Mr. Fang about this. Is he holding the line?"
Li Daozong and Liu Zhenghui looked at each other and threw the question to Fang Yuan.
The two of them agreed with Fang Yuan and supported the laws implemented by Fang Yuan, but to conquer those who opposed it, Fang Yuan had to take action.
"Pass on Fang Yuan!"
Li Shimin had to ask someone to pass on Fang Yuan.
After Fang Yuan left Dali Temple, he was actually preparing to leave the palace and go home.
But before leaving the Suzaku Gate, I met Princess Changle again.
Princess Changle came to Fang Yuan to talk about the fairy home mentioned last time.
She brought a lot of design manuscripts, which were much more accurate than last time, but there were still many problems.
After Fang Yuan gave her support questions, she was happy to leave and go back to continue her princess home.
But Fang Yuan suddenly stopped her.
"Princess, when you build a princess home, do you want to be able to live alone in the future?"
Fang Yuan suddenly thought that Princess Changle was a real example that could help him convince his opponents.
As the legitimate princess of Changle, her words have a certain power, and opponents must carefully consider her harsh words before they dare to speak.
"Yeah."
Princess Changle nodded truthfully.
"Don't you want to marry Changsun Chong, or don't you want to marry Changsun Chong so quickly?"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he continued to taste.
"Yeah."
Princess Changle nodded again.
"I am currently promoting a law called the Child Protection Law, which prohibits children under the age of fourteen from getting married."
"If you can support its legislative success, you will have at least four years to decide whether to marry Changsun Chong."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he decided to drag Princess Changle into the water.
"Child Protection Act?!"
"Why ban those under fourteen years of age? Isn't it bad to ban those under sixteen years old?"
Princess Changle’s eyes lit up, but she also had her own questions.
"I want it too, but it's unrealistic."
Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Being under the age of fourteen has caused many people to oppose it.
Don’t even think about being under sixteen years old.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
Princess Changle sighed and asked.
"If someone opposes my legislation, support my legislation!"
"The princess starts from the overall situation and says it is for the sake of the people of the world, etc. She is more high-minded and righteous!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Only by speaking from the perspective of justice can we weaken the objections of others.
"Okay, I understand. It seems like Father is looking for you!"
Princess Changle pondered for a moment, nodded and said.
Then he noticed Wang De walking this way.
"Shilang Fang, I've found you."
"Hurry up and follow me to the imperial study. Your Majesty is looking for you."
Wang De said hurriedly.
He went to the Ministry of Finance and saw no one, and went to Zhuque Gate to ask but there was no news.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, I found out that Fang Yuan was chatting with Princess Changle here.
"Father-in-law, what's going on in the imperial study now?"
Fang Yuan habitually gave him money.
Wang De subconsciously stuffed the money into his arms.
But this scene was seen by Princess Changle.
Wang De was startled and quickly pushed it back to Fang Yuan.
"Don't worry, the princess won't say anything, right princess?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Princess Changle and smiled.
"Take it, it's all your hard work."
Princess Changle nodded.
She has heard of such unspoken rules.
When a eunuch delivers a decree to a minister, the minister usually gives the eunuch some money.
Although this kind of behavior is prohibited, it has been acquiesced in private and no one will say anything.
For Fang Yuan's sake, Princess Changle pretended not to see it.
"Thank you for your understanding, Princess."
"Master Fang, the Prime Minister and the eldest grandson Shangshu are opposed to the legislation you proposed."
Wang De reminded kindly.
After receiving the money, I naturally had to reveal some information.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."
Fang Yuan's heart sank and he nodded.
It was Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji who objected again.
Last time at the court, it was the two of them who were against him.
However, Fang Yuan did not hold any grudge against the two of them. After all, it was just because of their different political ideas.
It's just two people again, somewhat annoyed, thinking about how to get them to agree.
"Fang Yuan, I'll go too!"
Princess Changle follows Fang Yuan.
She also wants to go, according to what Fang Yuan just said.
The two of them got started and soon arrived at the imperial study room.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and Princess Changle came to the imperial study room.
Everyone felt a little surprised when they saw Princess Changle coming too.
"Father, I support the legislation!"
Princess Changle said nothing.
After the salute, he immediately explained his intention.
Li Shimin and others suddenly frowned and looked at Fang Yuan dissatisfied.
Obviously, they all believed that Fang Yuan instigated Princess Changle to support the legislation.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji began to hate Fang Yuan.
"Chang Le, did Fang Yuan ask you to support him?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He does not allow outsiders to take advantage of the princess or prince.
"Yes and no."
Princess Changle nodded, shook her head and said.
"What do you mean by this?"
Li Shimin frowned again.
He thought that Princess Changle would directly say yes, or directly say no, to protect Fang Yuan.
But I didn't expect that Princess Changle would give such an answer.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji on the side were also curious.
"Yes, it's because Fang Yuan really wants me to support the legislation."
"No, it's because I support the legislation not because of Fang Yuan, but because of myself!"
Princess Changle said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense!"
"How can a princess interfere in court policies?"
Li Shimin said with a dark face.
Although it was Fang Yuan who instigated it first, Princess Changle also said that it was not Fang Yuan’s fault.
Thinking again that he had really felt sorry for Fang Yuan these days, Li Shimin did not hold Fang Yuan accountable.
"Father, I can't even give you an opinion?!"
Princess Changle said angrily.
As a princess, why can’t you fight for your own rights?
"I already know your opinion, stand down!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
According to the decree of the Tang Dynasty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
Although Princess Changle is not a member of the harem, she is still a female streamer.
If Princess Changle interferes too much in government affairs, she will be impeached by the officials, which will affect her reputation.
"Father, you have gone too far!"
Princess Changle was so angry that she shed tears.
Leave a word and leave without looking back.
Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to slam the table, but he was also extremely distressed.
I wanted to chase him out for comfort, but Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all there.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't let go of him and transferred his resentment to Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan, what do you have to say?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji on the side also looked at Fang Yuan.
"I don't deny that most people think that women are the appendages of men."
"But you should also know that each of us is born of a woman."
"Protecting children and protecting girls can make people all over the world feel happier and more attentive to the court."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
In fact, in this era, the Child Protection Law is the Girl Protection Law.
Therefore, whether it is Fang Yuan or Li Shimin and others, they all agree that the Child Protection Law protects girls.
"There has never been a child protection law since ancient times, and it is not necessarily true that the people of the past dynasties did not return to the imperial court."
"Our current laws have not been implemented truthfully, so how can we have any spare time to implement new laws?"
"Moreover, Sir Fang, please don't forget that Hebei is not at peace now, Qingzhou is in chaos, and there are all kinds of monsters, ghosts, snakes, and foreign enemies. We can't afford to mess with it!"
Changsun Wuji said coldly.
He didn't make it so obvious.
But everyone present knew that some powerful people smelted copper.
Cui Zhentang has just been exposed, there are more powerful people who have not been exposed.
In some upper-class gatherings, people exchange experience in copper smelting, which is nothing new.
"What Changsun Shangshu said is absolutely true."
"But internal and external troubles are not a stumbling block for us to get better."
"The times are moving forward, and those of us at the top of the empire should consider the world more!"
"Could it be said that because of internal and external troubles, we have stopped moving forward and have to wait until the problems are solved before we can develop?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
It is true that the Tang Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles.
But no one can guarantee how long this situation will last.
If the Five Surnames and Qiwang were behind the scenes, it would be possible in ten or eight years.
"Shilang Fang, you said it was for the sake of the world."
"Do you know that if this law is introduced, the world may become more chaotic?"
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
"There is a saying that goes well: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."
"Everyone should think that this sentence refers to the people's hearts and minds of the world's aristocratic families."
"But I feel that Your Majesty is slowly realizing that the people's hearts should be the people's hearts all over the world."
"The implementation of the Child Protection Law protects the rights and interests of ordinary people. They will definitely be grateful to the court and return to the court."
"In this turbulent moment led by the five surnames and seven hopes, the hearts and minds of the people in the world are particularly important. If the family wants to be in chaos, then let it go. We can just pick up the hearts of the people."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
There are many aristocratic families, and the common people are like cattle and horses.
As a cow and horse, it is not only difficult to enjoy the country's welfare, but also life is difficult.
But when Li Shimin wanted to disintegrate the power of the aristocratic family and improve the status of the poor scholars in the world, the hearts of the people should slowly shift to the hearts of the common people.
Only by truly winning the hearts and minds of the people all over the world can this country become more stable, and aristocratic families will become more fearful of the imperial court and eventually obey the imperial court.
"Fang Yuan, are you sure that people in the world think that the Child Protection Law is good?"
Li Shimin said with slightly bright eyes.
He vigorously supported the imperial examination because he wanted to undermine the power of the aristocratic family.
But this process is slow, so he tried his best to become a wise king, make good political achievements, and make the people of the world return to their hearts.
When Fang Yuan mentioned his point, he was a little excited, as if he saw another way.
"Your Majesty, just use yourself to save others."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly.
Li Shimin's face darkened and he was furious.
When I think about my own children being bullied when they were seven or eight years old, I will definitely destroy the whole family.
Thinking again that those common people were different from him, had no power, and could only endure being bullied, Li Shimin even more recognized the Child Protection Law.
But the age of child protection law
"Your Majesty, the theoretical analysis is good, but the operation is very difficult."
"At this moment, I think we should consider it carefully and it is necessary to investigate public opinion."
Fang Xuanling spoke again.
He was worried that the legislation would touch the interests of many people, such as Changsun Wuji, who was standing aside.
Before the legislation was successful, Changsun Wuji was the first to oppose it. If the legislation was successful, we don’t know what kind of dissatisfaction there would be.
"Your Majesty, I think ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel."
"Before Hebei and Qingzhou are pacified, it is better not to do anything that will aggravate the turmoil!"
Changsun Wuji is still opposed.
He doesn't allow anyone to ruin the Changsun family's plan.
Two years later, the twelve-year-old Princess Changle must marry Changsun Chong!
"I already know your opinions."
"I believe other ministers also know that Fang Yuan wants to legislate."
"Wait a little longer. I want to hear their opinions before making a decision. Please step back."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He was debating whether it was better to legislate or not.
Is the benefit brought by legislation greater, or the benefit brought by no legislation?
"Your Majesty, please retire!"
Everyone left with different thoughts.
After Changsun Wuji left the imperial study, he did not go with everyone else.
He walked towards the harem. He wanted to enter the harem to find his sister, Queen Changsun.
At this time, Princess Changle was complaining to Queen Changsun in the Lizheng Palace.
