"The Mo family is just alarmist, now the doctor is just two hospitals in Chang'an and Luoyang, how can he take care of the entire people of the Tang Dynasty." Kwon Wanji seized Merton's loophole and attacked.

Merton shook his head and said: "Although there are only two Mo hospitals now, but in five years, it will definitely be able to open all the Ten Dao Mansions of the Tang Dynasty, and ten years later, all over the counties, and even all over the counties, it is just a matter of counting days, and it will not be too late for this day to come." ”

Everyone in the court was also silent, and they were all persuaded by Merton, after all, Merton was listing detailed data, so that everyone could see a grim future.

Everyone originally thought that this was just a murder case, but who would have thought that it would become a court discussion that would affect the pattern of Datang in the next hundred years.

Quan Wanji wanted to argue, but he couldn't say that with the momentum of the Mo Hospital, the day that Merton said would definitely come, and at that time, the population of Datang would definitely grow explosively.

"That is also a hundred years later, and at this moment, my Datang really needs the population." Quan Wanji had to argue strongly.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said: "Early marriage is very harmful, and my Datang does need a population at present, so it is better to set the age of eighteen for men and sixteen for women." ”

Li Shimin compares his heart to his heart, and it is not like letting his daughter risk childbirth to obtain a compromise age, and the population explosion is a matter of a hundred years later, and it is not too late to think about it in the future.

"Your Majesty's benevolence is indeed a blessing for the children of the world!" The ministers complimented.

Merton nodded, this result is already much better than the current one, if the population of Datang increases dramatically in the future, maybe Datang will set the age of marriage at twenty-two for men, and it is possible for women to be twenty-two.

"As for the marriage contracts of baby relatives and child daughters-in-law, they will all be invalidated." Li Shimin got up and looked at the ministers.

Quan Wanji suddenly sighed in his heart, and suddenly knew that he had lost another city.

However, he had expected this, after all, in the ink magazine, the harm of doll relatives and child daughters-in-law has been clearly stated, and it is indeed too risky to marry from an early age.

Quan Wanji said: "Your Majesty! Although the doll parents and child daughters-in-law are like child's play, after all, there are also some doll relatives who are also well-connected and in love. If all of them are invalidated, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate! ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Then let them wait for their children to grow up and make a new marriage certificate, from today on, both men and women are under the age of fourteen, and all marriage certificates will be invalid." ”

At the age of fourteen, both men and women already have a basic understanding of marriage, and they will not passively accept fate as they did when they were children, they get engaged at the age of fourteen and get married at the age of sixteen, two years is enough.

As soon as this strategy came out, Datang's marriage contract was ruined countless times, and Merton confirmed the title of an expert in marriage dismantling.

"Your Majesty is wise, but Weichen still has a proposal, whether this marriage certificate can be signed by both men and women." Merton said solemnly.

Quan Wanji suddenly said sarcastically with a cold eye: "I'm afraid that Lord Mo is unmarried, but since it is a marriage letter, it will naturally be written with the names of both men and women." ”

After Quan Wanji finished speaking, many ministers suddenly sneered at the birth and looked at Merton playfully.

Merton was not angry, but said solemnly: "It is under the unmarried, I want to find a person who is in love to spend my life with, I think the world men and women and children have the same mind, but the men and women have not met, what is the relationship, let alone buying and selling marriage, children are controlled by their parents, there is no choice." ”

Li Shimin's heart suddenly softened when he heard this, and his eyes softened a little when he looked at Merton.

"What the kid means is that this marriage certificate can only take effect if both men and women voluntarily sign and draw it." Merton looked up suddenly, his gaze sharp.

At this moment, he shouted out for thousands of teenagers what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and there was nowhere to say it.

The ministers were startled and stared at Merton, who finally reiterated his assertion that the betrothed man and woman would be willing to take effect if the betrothed man and woman signed it themselves, which would be a great challenge to the authority of the parents.

"Impossible, the king is the minister, the husband is the wife, and the father is the son, this is the three outlines and five constants, if the parents can't even manage the marriage of their children, what is the loyalty of the king." Kwon Wanji categorically objected.

The Three Principles and the Five Constants are the foundation of Confucian ethics, and Merton's proposal that a man and a woman should voluntarily sign a marriage document before it can take effect is a blatant challenge to the principle of the father as the son.

"Whether the shoes fit or not, we know for ourselves that it is we who marry, do we want to let two unsuitable people spend their lives together." Merton said with a sigh.

"After a long time, after getting married, the two will live together, and they will naturally have feelings!" Quan Wanji said angrily.

"This is the best result, if there is no emotion, wouldn't it ruin two people." Merton protested.

"As a son, if you blatantly disobey the good intentions of your parents, it is a great unfilial piety!"

"This filial piety is foolish filial piety, how can it be exchanged for a lifetime of happiness."

An old man and a young man, the two quarrel as fiercely as a stubborn father and a rebellious son.

Many people sighed in the hearts of the courtiers, the Mo family is still very young, this quarrel is probably in the middle of the power of Wanji's plan, if the Mo family's two sides are voluntary, I am afraid that such a scene will appear in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's heart is constantly struggling, constantly switching between his father and the emperor, as an emperor, he naturally wants to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty's rule, and as a father, he also wants his children to marry better.

Obviously, the balance quickly shifted towards the identity of the emperor, and as an emperor, he naturally focused on the stability of the society.

Morton took a breath and stared at Quan Wanji and said, "That Lord Quan thinks the daughter of the Han family is filial or unfilial." ”

Quan Wanji was suddenly speechless like a duck caught by the neck.

The daughter of the Han family is lying on the street, and no one is restrained, and it is the father who is the victim of the son. Is the daughter of the Han family willing to marry a fool, it is obviously impossible, otherwise she would not choose such a desperate path, if she insists on the father as the son, I am afraid that the example of the daughter of the Han family will continue to be staged in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Li Shimin's originally hard heart collapsed instantly.

"Weichen's intention is not to provoke conflicts between father and son, or for his own selfishness, the purpose is to prohibit things like the Han family's daughter in the future, even if there are things similar to the Han family's daughter in the future, it will not be a dead end." Merton said sadly.

The ministers were silent.

"That's it, what kind of ability is it for a group of big men to force a woman to death. If my kid doesn't want to get married, it's a big deal to find it again, and it's not a big deal. Cheng Yanjin suddenly said with a big grin, and immediately broke the deadlock in the court.

Yes! If it is not suitable, it is a big deal to find it again, so why bother to force each other, the ministers nodded one after another, and the direction of the wind in the middle suddenly deflected in the direction of Merton.

Although Quan Wanji was angry, the precedent of forcing the woman to die was in front of him, and no matter how much reason he had, it was not as big as human life.

Li Shimin said solemnly: "In the future, when signing the marriage letter, the parents, the matchmaker, and the three parties of the man and woman must be present at the same time, and the joint signature and drawing shall prevail, which is also just the right time for the men and women to meet frankly, so as to save the first meeting in the marriage room, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

Quan Wanji's face couldn't help but darken, so it wasn't for Merton's parents' orders, matchmakers' words, and the concept of mutual consent, this game, he can be said to have lost extremely completely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Merton breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to suggest: "Weichen thinks that it is better to set the place of signing the marriage letter in the county government, first, to show the attention of the imperial court, second, it is also convenient for the county government to count the population, and third, if there is a person who is forced to buy and sell marriages, you can also ask the county lord to make the decision in public to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the Han family." ”

The ministers couldn't help but look at Merton in surprise, they didn't expect Merton to come prepared, and they even thought about it.

"Accurate!" Li Shimin pushed the boat down the river.

Li Shimin's move is not to support the Mo family, since Princess Changle has made a private agreement with the Mo family for life, if he still does not support the policy of both parties voluntarily meeting before marriage in the court, if the East Window incident occurs in the future, it will not be a slap in the face.
