Inside the Chui Gong Hall! All the officials were in an uproar.

Suddenly, the unknown Su Dun suddenly became the focus of all officials.

"Forensic doctor Su Dun!"

Many officials gritted their teeth and looked at Su Dun's young appearance. Su Dun's proposal of the second-instance system simply doubled the officials' tasks and significantly weakened the power of the county magistrate, which made many officials secretly resentful.

Many officials looked meaningfully at Su Dun, who was at the forefront. Before that, Su Dun had thrown many officials into prison, and the court officials avoided them like snakes and scorpions.

This time, he has offended the most powerful official in the world. I am afraid that he may not be able to move even a single step in the court in the future.

"It's not my intention to be a prince, but I hope the world will be peaceful!"

Su Shi looked at his youngest son with complicated eyes. It turned out that he had always ignored Su Dun's persistence. Now he really understood Su Dun's psychology. In order for the people of the world to be able to clear up the injustice, Su Dun was willing to sacrifice his own future.

Many officials naturally thought of Su Dun's famous sayings that were widely circulated in Kaifeng City, and then they realized that Su Dun's move was not a spur of the moment, but had already made up his mind.

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment. To be granted a title of marquis and to be a prime minister was what all scholar-bureaucrats longed for most. However, in order to reform the Legalists, Su Dun would not hesitate to lose the title of a marquis.

"Su Aiqing has this ambition, how can I be stingy? The appeal and second instance system will be piloted in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the criminal officer Su Dun will be the general judge of Kaifeng Prefecture and be responsible for the second instance Kaifeng Prefecture cases!" Zhao Xu finally made a decision.

"Kaifeng Prefecture's general judge!"

All the officials couldn't help being shocked and looked at Zhao Xu in disbelief. Kaifeng Mansion was the center of the world. Fan Chunli, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, was a second-rank official in the court, while Su Dun was only a sixth-rank official. He actually became the general magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion. .

Of course, Su Dun's power as a general judge was greatly reduced, and he was only responsible for trying the second instance cases. Even so, he was still promoted beyond the level.

"Wei Chen will definitely live up to the official's expectations!" Su Dun said solemnly as he came out.

He knows that becoming a forensic scientist will be difficult, and the second-instance system is only the first step. He will face many obstacles in the future, but for the sake of justice in the world, he will not back down.

All the officials in the court were silent. The second instance system was to seize power from the county magistrate, which would definitely trigger a counterattack by county magistrates all over the world. This time, forensic doctor Su Dun, even with the protection of the evil doctor Fan Zheng and the Grand Scholar Su, might not be able to save him. After all, there is no one Being able to anger all the officials in the world without getting hurt, including the former Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi are clear examples.

The scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty was so powerful!

Fan Zheng sneered in his heart when he saw this. The scholar-official class in the Song Dynasty was indeed powerful, but there was another class above the scholar-officials, and that was the imperial power!

In the palace,

Zhu, who was always kind, looked embarrassed and said, "Is there any official son who is willing to marry Rou'er?"

Zhao Rou is the name of Princess Xu. Now Princess Xu is fifteen years old. According to the newly revised household marriage law of the Song Dynasty, a woman can get married at the age of sixteen. Now Princess Xu has reached the age of engagement, but she can't find her. Suitable young talents get engaged.

However, the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty was extremely proud, and after becoming a prince-in-law, it was almost impossible to become a chief official. At most, they would be given an idle official position. This made the scholar-bureaucrat class quite dissatisfied. When Wang Shen, whose family was in decline, became the prince-in-law, they thought that It was the prince-in-law who delayed his promising future, blaming it on the princess, deliberately taking concubines and having fun, humiliating the princess.

In addition, offering a prince-in-law is a bit like marrying into a wife, and any official with some ideal ideals is not willing to offer a prince-in-law.

Zhao Xu also had a bitter look on his face and said comfortingly: "As a concubine, it's not that there are no young talents willing to get engaged. Pan Yi, the queen of South Korea's father-in-law, Pan Mei, is interested in marrying the consort."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown. It was always difficult for princesses of the Song Dynasty to get married. However, Zhao Rou was his biological sister. Naturally, he wanted to marry her to a good family to avoid the tragedy of his aunt, the princess of Shu.

"Pan Yi, that dandy from the Pan family, how can he be worthy of the most noble princess of the Song Dynasty?" Mrs. Zhu held the flower-like Zhao Rou in her arms and said distressedly.

Ever since the scene in which Bao Gong beheaded Chen Shimei, Wang Shen was immediately ruined and the royal family began to reflect. When marrying another princess, they must examine their character and talents to avoid the recurrence of scum like Wang Shen harming the royal princess.

"Don't be angry, mother and concubine. The child will definitely choose a good son-in-law for Rou'er." Zhao Xu assured.

"Thank you, brother Guan!" Zhao Rou smiled happily.

As a royal princess, Zhao Rou naturally cannot fall in love freely like Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao, but she has already had her first love, so how can she not fantasize about having her own love.

Coupled with the lessons learned from her aunt, the Princess of Shu, she was naturally extra cautious and not prepared to recruit a consort who was greedy for royal power.

After leaving the harem, Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a sad look on his face. The entire scholar-bureaucrat class had already avoided the prince-in-law like a snake and a scorpion. Others who wanted to be the prince-in-law were either from a declining family and wanted to cling to the royal family, or they were playboys from the powerful. Only when they have a promising career in officialdom are they ready to marry a consort. These are not good matches at all.

Fan Zheng reminded: "Officials are weak mentally and easily hurt their bodies."

Zhao Xu sighed: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and so does the royal family!"

As the royal family, he can be said to be the most noble person in the world, but did he ever think that the royal family would be worried about marrying his daughter?

Fan Zheng thought for a while and said: "Since there have been frequent crises when royal princesses get married, it is obvious that there is a problem. Can the government reform the system of royal princesses favoring consorts?"

"Reform the Prince Consort System!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but pause and looked at Fan Zheng in surprise.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "Any disease in the world can be easily solved as long as the source of the disease is found. If the royal family solves the consort system, it will naturally be able to find a good match for the princess, otherwise the tragedy of the princess of Shu will definitely happen again."

Zhao Xu suddenly fell into silence. On one hand, he was concerned about the ancient royal consort system, and on the other hand, he was concerned about his sister's happy life.

After a long time, Zhao Xu raised his head and said, "In your opinion, how should we implement the system of emperor's consort?"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "There are two main reasons why many young talents are unwilling to marry a prince-in-law. One is that marrying a prince-in-law is quite similar to marrying a wife. The custom of marrying a prince-in-law is very bad in the Song Dynasty. Carrying a son-in-law is a very shameful thing, and it is also very shameful. They need to perform military service and are treated as cannon fodder by the Song army. Among the people, a surrogate son-in-law has no right to inherit property. It takes three generations for his descendants to return to the clan. However, does a surrogate son-in-law really commit a heinous crime? He just married someone. It’s just a woman! Compared to other crimes, the punishment for taking a son-in-law in this world is simply ridiculous."

"Sister-in-law!"

Zhao Xu frowned slightly. The royal princess of the Song Dynasty was indeed very similar to her son-in-law. The people were so resistant to the son-in-law, which naturally affected the princess's son-in-law. This caused many young talents to be unwilling to marry their son-in-law at all.

"If you want the prince-in-law to no longer be prejudiced by others, you must eliminate the world's prejudice against the bride-in-law. We sincerely ask the officials to abolish the punishment for the bride-in-law. Marry-in-law is just a form of normal marriage in the world!" Fan Zheng sighed with emotion! road.

When he really got to know the son-in-law, he realized how miserable the son-in-law was in the Song Dynasty, and most of the punishments they suffered were unjust disasters. If the official family had goodwill towards the son-in-law, then the world would naturally have goodwill towards the princess and the prince-in-law. .

Zhao Xu fell into deep thought. Normally, he would not care about the life and death of his little son-in-law, but if his son-in-law could affect his sister's happy life, then he would naturally make a decision easily.
