Chapter 722: Rebuttal

"Lord Quan only remembers that the monarch is a minister, but he doesn't remember that Confucianism and a husband are his wife, and Lord Quan is a Confucian Confucian, but he takes it out of context, which makes people laugh." Merton snorted coldly.

Quan Wanji retorted without shame: "The king is the minister, the husband is the wife, the father is the son, among the three outlines, the king is naturally the leader, and what the old minister said is not inappropriate." ”

The reason why Confucianism has been reused by the emperors of previous dynasties is that the way of loyalty to the monarch is the trump card, and in the marriage of princesses before the Tang Dynasty, there has always been a saying that the lords marry the emperor's daughter.

"Yes, in the eyes of the lower officials, it is very wrong." Merton retorted.

Quan Wanji suddenly sneered and said, "Could it be that your Mo family thinks that the way of loyalty to the monarch is a big mistake?" ”

Even if he was allowed to oppose Shang Fuma, he had already thought of a reason to pour dirty water on Merton, and it could even be said that he proposed Shang Fuma, which was the pit he dug for the Mo family, if Merton agreed, I am afraid that he would not be able to raise his head like a son-in-law from now on, and if Merton objected, it would be ironclad evidence of disloyalty.

Merton retorted: "What I said is very wrong, but the Mo family actually applied the way of monarchs and ministers to the way of husband and wife, which is simply Zhang Guan Li Dai." ”

Quan Wanji argued: "Ordinary couples naturally have no such worries, but the princess is the king in the palace, and she is married and married, so there is a compromise strategy." ”

"Then according to what you mean, if the princess gets married, the mother-in-law and father-in-law will instead give the princess the courtesy, so when the wedding is held, will the etiquette of the second worship hall have to be changed?" Merton asked rhetorically.

After Merton finished speaking, many important ministers who had marriage contracts with the royal family suddenly turned pale, if they were asked to salute their daughters-in-law, I am afraid that such a thing would not be able to hang his old face when it spread.

"After all, the in-laws are elders......" Quan Wanji shouted in his heart and stammered in defense.

"Didn't Lord Quan just say that the monarch is the head of the minister?" Merton counterattacked with the spear of the son against the shield of the son.

Quan Wanji's face suddenly froze, and he was speechless.

"The concubines of the harem marry into the palace, and they are naturally also kings, if the provincial relatives see their parents, according to the meaning of Lord Quan, should the parents also give their daughters a courtesy?" Merton pressed as he spoke.

Quan Wanji's face changed suddenly, if parents saluted their daughters, wouldn't it be corrupt?

Li Shimin's face was embarrassed, and he immediately realized the seriousness of this matter, if this is the case, the harem will probably be in chaos.

"That's not what Weichen meant!" Quan Wanji hurriedly argued.

"What you mean is that you can only exercise the way of a monarch and a minister between the princess and the horse." Merton said as if unintentionally.

Quan Wanji suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw and said: "Yes! Right! That's what Lao Chen meant. ”

"Then the lower official is going to sue Lord Quan for deliberately destroying the princess's marriage." Merton retorted.

Quan Wanji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Merton in disbelief, and the other important ministers unexpectedly watched the reversal of this good show.

"How did the old man ruin the princess's marriage, do you have to regret the marriage?" Quan Wanji said sharply, he has always taken the initiative to attack Mo Jiazi, but he didn't expect to be bitten back by Mo Jiazi today, if Mo Dun adopts a lose-lose play, I'm afraid he Quan Wanji will not be able to benefit.

Li Shimin's face on the dragon chair sank, and he stared at Merton unkindly.

Morton said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Mo family advocates love, advocates equality between husband and wife, and loves each other, so naturally they will not use their husbands as wives to hold Changle hostage, and the ministers believe that Changle will treat the ministers the same, and the minister's parents died early, and there is no relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so it is completely nonsense to say that Lord Quan is worried." ”

Li Shimin's face softened slightly, it was indeed a few worries that Murton said, and it really had nothing to do with him and Changle.

"The old minister is not targeting Princess Changle, but complaining about other princesses!" Quan Wanji completely ignored the eyes of the other fire-breathing ministers who were close to the royal family, and hurriedly saved himself.

Merton sneered: "That's what Mo is complaining about!" The princess and the horse live alone in the princess's mansion, and the horse must be separated from her parents, doesn't it reduce the opportunity for the horse to be filial, Weichen thinks that all the men who have filial piety, are afraid of the reputation of unfilial piety, I am afraid that they will resist marrying the princess, so a little, is it not a miss for the princess. ”

Filial piety is also a powerful ethics of Confucianism, Merton once again used the spear of Confucianism to attack the shield of Confucianism, and Murton said that it was not a lie, during the Song Dynasty, the prevalent Shang Concubine, and the status of the Concubine's horse was very low, at that time, the officials who were admitted to the Jinshi were unwilling to marry the princess so as not to affect the career, not to mention the champion, the Chen Shimei case that was widely circulated in later generations was just a drama.

The only example in history of the champion marrying a princess is still during the Tang Wuzong period, Zheng Hao married Princess Wanshou, it is worth mentioning that Zheng Hao was forced.

Li Shimin's face changed suddenly, not only is a man with filial piety unwilling to marry a princess, I am afraid that even some people with backbone are unwilling to marry a princess, after all, a dignified man is not willing to grovel to a daughter, even if this person is a princess who looks like a fairy.

In this way, men with filial piety and arrogance are reluctant to marry the princess, and they are all soft bones, how can people who tend to be inflammatory, and Merton sued Quan Wanji for destroying the princess's marriage and did not lose him at all.

"That's not what the old minister meant?" Quan Wanji said in panic, he originally thought that he was standing on the moral high ground, but he didn't expect to end up reaping the consequences.

"How can the way of the monarch and the way of the husband and wife be confused, and the ministers think that it is not advisable to have a horse." Fang Xuanling took the lead in objecting, if Fang Yiai married an ancestor at home, that would be the end of the Fang family.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Zheng also objected, after all, Merton had already charged for them, and Merton and Princess Changle were free to love and did not have much impact, if they didn't say anything, I am afraid that they would suffer in the end.

As the important ministers expressed their positions, Quan Wanji's face turned pale for a while, and he suddenly knew that this time he was completely planted under the sharp teeth of the Mo family, and even the imperial historians who had helped him before were silent one by one, lest they get into trouble.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "The royal family also abides by the law, and the in-laws should be seen by the princess to become the beauty of the country. ”

Except for Merton and Changsun Chong, almost all of the people who are married to the royal princess are the second sons, and if there is another Shang concubine, I am afraid that even the second son is not willing to marry the princess.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, especially the important ministers who were married to the royal family, they couldn't help but be happy.

"Weichen doesn't have this intention, but thinks about the princess wholeheartedly!" Quan Wanji said in a dying struggle.

Mo Dun sneered: "Don't worry about the right of adults, don't work for the right of adults, in order to marry the princess, Mo has already bought a house next to the Mo Mansion, secretly built for nearly a year, and now it has been largely completed, as a new marriage house, as for the diet, the Mo family glass greenhouse, evergreen all year round, melons, fruits and vegetables, will never let the princess be wronged in food and housing." ”

If other people say that they will not let the princess be wronged, maybe some people will say big things, but from the mouth of the Mo family, I am afraid that no one will refute it, the Mo family food is the best in the world, the Mo family craftsmanship is superb, not to mention the construction of a new house, that is, to give them enough time and materials, it is not difficult to rebuild a Changle Palace.
