Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Su Dun, the son of Su University Scholar, is interested in becoming the consort!"

As soon as this news came out, the entire city of Kaifeng was in an uproar!

"Prince Consort! How is this possible?"

Everyone looked in disbelief when they heard the news. If you ask Kaifeng people's forensic doctor Su Dun, some people may not know it. If you ask the son of a great scholar Su, I'm afraid everyone will know it. No famous scholar is willing to be a prince-in-law.

Not to mention that Su Dun was the youngest son of Su Shi, and could be said to be one of the most powerful officials in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that Su Dun, a forensic doctor, could be said to have solved countless cases in the Criminal Division, and now he has become the general judge of Kaifeng Prefecture on the basis of the county magistrates all over the world. He is a rising star in the court, so how could he destroy his future and become a prince-in-law?

Many people's eyes flashed, thinking of Su Dun's proposal to become a forensic doctor. Could it be that Su Dun knew that his move had offended officials all over the world, knew that his official career was hopeless, and was preparing to give the prince a soft meal?

Many officials nodded secretly. Apart from this reason, they could not think of any reason that could make Su Dun give up on himself and choose the Prince Consort.

In the palace.

"Who do you think wants the consort?"

Concubine Zhu was also overjoyed when she heard the news and couldn't believe it.

"Concubine, you heard me right, Su Dun, the son of the Su University Scholar, is interested in marrying the consort!" Zhao Xu affirmed.

"Has the official news been confirmed?" Concubine Zhu asked again and again.

She loves her daughter Zhao Rou, Princess of Xu State, the most, and wants to find a good son-in-law for her baby daughter. However, when Su Dun appears, Princess Zhu can't help but worry about gains and losses.

Without him! Just because Su Dun is too outstanding compared to the previous Song Dynasty princes-in-law, no! Even compared to the younger generation of young talents in Kaifeng City, Su Dun is also the top existence.

One of the three heroes of the medical revolution, he solved the cotton poisoning case in the palace, pioneered the fingerprint method to solve the case, and combined forensic medicine to repeatedly solve strange cases. He is a rising star in the Ministry of Punishment. How can such a promising young official be willing to serve as the prince's consort? .

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "This is the matchmaker protected by Fan Taicheng himself!"

"Fan Taicheng!"

Concubine Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. She had also heard about Fan Zheng for a long time. In addition, Fan Taicheng helped the officials a lot, and he and Su Dun were as close as brothers. Therefore, the news was quite reliable.

"Could it be that Su Dun has some hidden illness?" Zhu Taifei still said worriedly.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "How can I let my sister make the same mistake as my aunt? This is Su Dun's background and reputation.

When Zhao Xu sent Su Dun's background information, Concubine Zhu quickly took it and looked at it carefully, she couldn't help but beam with joy.

Su Dun was frail and sickly since he was a child. He studied medicine to strengthen his body with the imperial physician Cheng Qian Yi, and later followed Fan Zheng to become a forensic scientist. He was a man of integrity and solved many unjust cases, not to mention a metaphorical poem "Linjiang Immortal" handed down to the world.

More importantly, such a young talent has never been engaged or taken a concubine. It is difficult to find such a good match even if you look around the world.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let Rou'er and Su Dun get engaged directly!" Concubine Zhu said impatiently.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "Don't be anxious, mother and concubine. It is no longer a matter of a day or two for me, the Royal Princess of the Song Dynasty, to get married. Now that Xu Guo has found a good match, what about Fuqing and Dekang in the future? Do they still need to be married? Like my aunt, marry a dandy or an ungrateful Chen Shimei?"

Everyone knows that a consort like Su Dun is rare to see in a hundred years, and if the consort system remains unchanged, what Fu Qing and Dekang will encounter in the future will definitely be Chen Shimei and his ilk.

"What does the emperor mean?" Concubine Zhu asked puzzledly.

"If we want the princesses of the Song Dynasty to have a consort with good moral character and talent in the future, let the talents in the world be proud to have a consort!" Zhao Xu said with firm eyes.

Not only for Princess Xu, but also for her two daughters, and even the future princess of the Song Dynasty, the problem of her consort must be solved once and for all.

........................

One day there will be a court meeting, and hundreds of officials will come to court! Su Shi, the Minister of Rites, suddenly became the focus of the court.

"Congratulations to Mr. Su, your son Su Dun and Princess Xu are a match made in heaven!"

"In the future, the Su family will be relatives of the emperor. Brother Su is the wife of an official, and your son has made Princess Xu the consort. It's like a close relationship."

........................

Many officials said they were complimentary, but in fact they were sarcastic towards Su Shi. After all, any scholar-bureaucrat who had some pursuits would be ashamed of advocating for the prince-in-law.

Su Shi has always had a high opinion of himself, and he offended many people with his big mouth. In addition, Su Shi was biased towards neutrality, which was not tolerated by the old party, and now he was inconsistent with the ideas of the new party. He made many enemies in the court. Now the officials finally found a way to take revenge. Opportunities arose, and they all ridiculed Su Shi.

Facing the ridicule from the officials, Su Shi looked embarrassed, but he was not angry at Su Dun.

When Su Dun was a child, he was frail and sickly, and was critically ill several times. Su Shi did not have many demands on him. He only wanted him to grow up healthily, so he allowed him to study medicine in the Imperial Medical Bureau!

Su Shi met Fan Zheng and became a forensic doctor, which was an unexpected surprise for Su Shi. Not to mention that Su Dun was already in the spotlight as a criminal officer, so he could no longer ask Su Shi for anything more. Taller.

Now, even though he couldn't understand Su Dun's decision to marry the consort, he still chose to support Su Dun as always.

Su Shi suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and strode into Chui Gong Hall.

"I'll see you at the official's house!"

All officials paid homage one after another.

"All my dear friends, stand up!"

Zhao Xuxu raised his right hand and said.

After the monarch and his ministers jointly handled the affairs of the court, Zhao Xu said slowly: "I heard that the world's extra son-in-law is extremely miserable, and innocent people are implicated! It violates the law of household marriage, and I have decided to abolish the punishment of the extra son-in-law in the world and let him return to the ordinary marriage. thing."

"Abolish the penalty for taking a bride-in-law!"

All the officials couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that the official family would personally pay attention to the little son-in-law, which made them a little confused.

Cai Jing stepped forward and said: "If you marry a son-in-law to an official family, your daughter's husband will be compared to your son, just like a wart on a person. It's just leftovers. Moreover, since ancient times, the punishment for a son-in-law is to do hard labor, be sent to the army, and be sent to the army. How can this be allowed?" Easily abolished.”

Zhao Xu sneered and said, "Xiangong Wang once said that there is no need to fear changes in nature, no law for ancestors, and no compassion for people's words. Now, has even the New Party become complacent?"

Hearing Zhao Xu's merciless refutation, the expressions of everyone in the new party suddenly changed. They did not expect that the official family's determination to protect their adopted son-in-law was so serious.

Lu Dafang frowned and motioned slightly to Yang Wei, only to see Yang Wei say: "If you tell the official family that you have a son-in-law, you should not be in your wife's house. It's like having a wart on your body and you don't own it."

The old party is extremely conservative and despises the son-in-law who violates the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Standing Orders. Naturally, he looks down upon the son-in-law.

Zhao Xu retorted: "Since such a son-in-law is harmful and useless, how about using Yang Aiqing's words to order the world to abolish the son-in-law?"

"Ah!" Yang Wei was shocked. Although they despised the bridal son-in-law, they also knew that the bridal son-in-law made up for the shortcomings of a man marrying a woman and was irreplaceable at some point. If it was spread that he demanded the abolition of the bridal son-in-law, it would definitely be infamy for thousands of years. .

"It is absolutely forbidden to apply to an official family. Although a son-in-law has a low status, half of the children in the world are boys and girls. Coupled with various accidents, there are many people who do not have boys in the family. Recruiting a son-in-law can pass on the incense and is beneficial to the country. ." Su Song stood up and said pertinently.
