Text Chapter 983: Inheritance under old grudges

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During Li Si's personal expedition, Li Kezai "visited the political affairs" as the prince, that is, he followed the Central Court's political envoy and listened to the proceedings of the political affairs hall and the two houses.  The "homework" Li Si gave him had already been completed, but this experience gave him new gains. After several revisions, he already had a complete plan in mind.

    Li Kezai's "homework" was to design a fixed deposit system. When we first started talking about it, he couldn't let it go because of the presence of the old witch Ru Xi. Later, he gradually got into the role and described his entire plan in an outline.

    ??In summary, Li Kezai's plan mainly has three main points. The first is to establish the elder and abolish the concubine. The second is not to establish a young king and inherit the throne. The third is to introduce the crown prince's meeting as a risk protection.

    As soon as the introduction was finished, Ru Xi started to smile. Although she understood that Li Si asked her to listen in just because of his idleness, Li Kezai's plan was so nonsense that she finally couldn't help but ridicule him.

    The distinction between direct descendants and concubines is a Chinese etiquette. Without this layer, how can we pass on the bloodline?  Not establishing a younger king and inheriting the throne would encourage the princes and even uncles and nephews to compete for the heirs.  As for the big crown prince debate, the life-and-death struggle for the throne, how can you still allow words to determine the situation?

    "I, Yinghua, respect the way of heaven, and everyone is the same, regardless of the ruler or the people. The distinction between wives and concubines in the old world is no longer applicable. The rites of concubines and concubines are like the system of master and slave, and they should be abolished. Twelve years  At that time, his father issued the "Edict on Separation of Family Property". In the 18th year, his father and the two chambers of commerce revised the "General Regulations of the Imperial and Civil Codes", confirming that wives and concubines also have the right to inherit family property, and children will not inherit the family property between concubines. From then on, the people of the country  The number of concubines has dropped sharply, so they are treated as concubines, and they are treated like wives, and they are called wives In my Yinghua, concubines are almost useless. "

    Ru Xi had not noticed these details of people's livelihood in Yinghua Junior High School before, but she heard Li Kezai say that Yinghua's legitimate concubine was almost dead.  It's incredible, how is it possible?  She was completely unable to imagine a society where wives and concubines were equal and children were not classified as legitimate.

    "During the Han and Tang dynasties, concubines were like slaves. In the Song Dynasty, concubines were not only non-slaves, but also had tenure, just like hired workers. From this, it can be seen that the current situation is that people will eventually become equal, and concubines will eventually be abolished.  One day, there will be no distinction between high and low. When the Manchus entered China, the master-slave system they followed was contrary to the trend. The way of heaven is not vague. You can see from this matter that the people in heaven and below  "We are all one," is not just an empty talk, but a path that has been determined by God."

    Li Si took advantage of the topic and damaged Ru Xiyitong again.

    Li Kezai¡¯s homework seems simple.  It's actually very difficult.  The social foundation of the royal family's fixed reserve issue is the family inheritance system. Yinghua, which is in the transition from the old to the new era, is facing two huge changes in this regard, one is the marriage system, and the other is the concubine system.  These two issues are actually two sides of the family inheritance system.

    In ancient China, there was a system of monogamy and multiple concubines, and the distinction between wives and concubines was used to determine the distinction between concubines and concubines. If this etiquette is purely based on the inheritance of the emperor, its social foundation will be ignored: family inheritance is essentially property inheritance.

    In ancient China, the more agrarian the society was, the more closed and conservative it was, and the more emphasis was placed on heir inheritance and the preservation of family property, in order to ensure that the "economic cells" attached to the land, that is, the family, would not be too fragmented and the changes would be too drastic.  In fact, this is also the foundation of the etiquette of the old world. Under this foundation, the distinction between noble and humble concubines is quite obvious.

    But with the development of industry and commerce, this system gradually changed. An obvious example is the two Song Dynasties. The distinction between high and low was indifferent, family business changes became more and more frequent, and the ancient tradition of family inheritance was obviously impacted.  In the Song Dynasty, women's rights to participate in family property inheritance were much more advanced than in the Tang Dynasty, and the concept of concubine was also weakened a lot. Although the distinction between wives and concubines was still unbreakable, concubines were no longer the slaves in the past, and their status had been greatly improved.

    This trend of change was broken by the Mongols. Zhu Ming returned to farming and was immersed in Confucianism. The family inheritance system that had been climbing upward was knocked back and started over.  In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the core of state power was an alien group based on master-slave rule, and the relationship between social individuals and family members could not even be said to evolve towards equality.

    The rise of Yinghua reconnected with the development context of the Song Dynasty, and this trend emerged as Li Kezai said: no distinction was made between concubines and concubines, concubines became common wives, and all family members had the right to participate in property inheritance. The biggest impact of this trend is  Men no longer dare to take concubines as they please. Taking one means getting a share of the family property.

    The elderly father-in-law of An Guo, Mr. An, is anxious about his family property. Once he returns to the West, his family, wives, concubines and children will tear his An's business empire to pieces

    Of course, this trend has also brought a lot of negative impacts. Nameless "concubines" began to emerge in large numbers. The so-called "concubines" were actually Li Si's mistresses in his previous life.

    Feminism is on the rise in Yinghua Junior High School. Feminists including Li Xiangyu have begun to promote "monogamy and no concubines". They hold the righteousness of everyone under the law of heaven, and their initiative can completely solve the problem of concubines  In disputes over differences, the marriage systems in European countries introduced by Western schools are also supporting them.?If I didn't follow Ruan and sink into the water, it would be over.  She felt Li Si's pity, and because of this, she felt that she was particularly weak and ugly now.

    Li Si sighed: "You are indeed my chess piece, but you are still struggling to this day, which surprises me. My ministers also advised me not to let you appear in the Grand Court, let alone what you said.  Many secrets have been spread to the world, saying that it will bring disgrace to me, the Holy Emperor. After all, you are the only person in power in this world who has been able to play against me for more than twenty years and have been fighting to this day"

    Ru Xi was stunned for a moment, and then a sense of accomplishment dispelled her sorrow. This time, heat rushed to the corners of her eyes without any hindrance. She laughed and said, "You are trying to provoke me, you just want me to tell you what I know in the Grand Court."  Everything, to help you prove the guilt of the Manchu people. How could I be fooled by this kind of childish trick!? But your efforts are in vain. I don¡¯t want to die, and I will continue to fight with you! Even as a prisoner, I will never surrender.  !¡±

    "I said this, but I said in my heart, I just want to say it, say everything!"  In this way, even a hundred years later, everyone in the world will know that I am the only one qualified to be your opponent in the world, and I have been fighting with you for more than 20 years.

    The water tank was carried out, and there were only father and son in the palace. After a long time, Li Kezai whispered: "My mother always said before that my father's eloquence was peerless. I didn't believe it in the past, but I believe it now"

    Li Kezai truly admired her and asked this witch to cooperate with the court and confess her crimes against the Manchus. He originally thought this was impossible.  Unexpectedly, the father used him as a bridge, shocked her, and then "moved her with emotion", and this witch actually took the bait!  terrible¡­¡­

    Li Si rolled his eyes at his son. Sanniang actually scolded her like this in front of her son?  But then he smiled reservedly with a smug look on his face, brushed his beard and said to himself, you and I used pens in our previous lives to know people's hearts, but in this life we ??use our words to move people's hearts, and of course we can catch them with our words.

    "I didn't know your boy was capable of this. At least you need to comfort your Miss Xin and Miss Duan."

    Li Si responded to his son like this, and then looked at his son's face that instantly darkened, and laughed.

    After laughing, Li Si ordered: "Your thoughts and details can be postponed until later. You should first think about what rights and responsibilities you will bear when you sit on the throne in the future."

    Li Kezai nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

    After Li Kezai retreated, the attendant ushered in another person. He was wearing a red and yellow cassock, and the Ming Dynasty's pointed hat was high on his head. A calm smile was blooming on his face, but he could not hide the trace of respect in his mouth.

    "Gelzang Gyatso came from Lhasa to wish His Majesty the Emperor the restoration of China and the unification of the country, long live long live long live long live"

    The great lama who called himself Kelsang Gyatso knelt on his knees, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

    Li Si smiled and said: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, ** Kelsang Gyatso, are you here on behalf of the Tibetans?"

    The seventh emperor, Kelsang Gyatso, said: "I am here on behalf of Uszang and on behalf of the millions of Tibetans in Uszang. I ask His Majesty the Emperor to grant a golden scroll so that Uszang can enter Great Britain and enjoy the blessings of the Celestial Empire."

    Li Si nodded slowly: "I agree."
