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

"The new son-in-law is exempt from punishment!"

This news was published in the Di newspaper and spread all over the world, and people all over the world immediately started talking about it.

"The officials were so kind-hearted that they even pardoned the son-in-law!" Many people sighed.

The adopted son-in-law is at the bottom of society. Not only is he subject to discrimination in the bride's family and endures cynicism from the world, but he also has to bear a lot of labor and military service. Unless he is desperate, no one would be willing to take on the role of the adopted son-in-law.

It is precisely for this reason that the quality of the husband-in-law has seriously declined, and the woman who originally wanted to recruit a husband-in-law cannot find a good match. Such a vicious circle makes the reputation of the husband-in-law become worse and worse, and eventually becomes a social evil. Ground floor.

But now that the imperial court has decided to exempt the adopted son-in-law from punishment, the adopted son-in-law all over the world can’t help but cheer and cry with excitement.

"Thank you, officials!"

After hearing the news, countless sons-in-law cried with joy.

They are also law-abiding citizens. They have not committed any crime. They are just married once. They have to bear such a heavy punishment. Naturally, the world's son-in-laws are dissatisfied.

Now they are finally exempted from punishment, finally redressed, and can live their lives with peace of mind.

At this moment, the sons-in-law who were doing corvee or military service were released one after another and returned home.

And for families all over the world who want to recruit a son-in-law, it is also a joy.

Families that can recruit a son-in-law generally have some wealth, and their daughters are in better condition. However, due to secular prejudice, many men are extremely resistant to a son-in-law. They are either crooked, broken, or broken, and their quality varies. , in short, He and Manman are even rarer.

However, now that the official government has abolished the penalty for the adopted son-in-law, it will reduce the discrimination against the adopted son-in-law among the people, making it easier to recruit the adopted son-in-law, and even the adopted son-in-law can find a good match.

As for the court, the officials and powerful families are even more sensitive. Whether it is the change in folk customs for the son-in-law or the official reform of the prince-son-in-law system, the prince-son-in-law has gone from being unpopular to being very popular.

Especially this time, the person who recruited the consort was the official's own sister, Princess Xu. Once she became the consort of Princess Xu, her status would naturally be extraordinary.

Not only did he have a prosperous official career, but he also won the emperor's heart. Although he could not be an official, the treatment of the highest third rank was enough to make many officials' hearts flutter. After all, most officials could not reach the height of third rank after a lifetime of hard work.

"Forensic doctor Su Dun!"

Many wealthy families sneered in their hearts. Although these conditions were tailor-made for forensic doctor Su Dun, it was still unclear who would be the consort in the end.

At present, under the operation of the court, many outstanding young men from wealthy families are interested in marrying the prince-in-law. The prince-in-law of Princess Xu has become very popular from the original no one.

"Who said it's hard to marry a royal princess!"

Faced with the sudden wave of marriage proposals, Princess Zhu immediately beamed with joy.

I think back then, when Princess Xu was preparing to choose her husband-in-law, it was a mess. But now that Zhao Xu has shown favor to her husband-in-law and reformed the system of husband-in-law, the royal princess has once again become popular, and this time everyone who came to propose marriage. He is a rare young talent!

Zhao Xu sneered and said: "In my opinion, these people are just coveting glory and wealth, trying to use the consort's worth to rise to the top!"

As an emperor, Zhao Xu naturally has a very thorough understanding of people's hearts. These people originally sneered at the consort and regarded it as a shame. But now that he has just reformed the consort system, these people pounced on him like wolves smelling blood. Come up.

"So, the officials still like Su Dun!" Concubine Zhu nodded slightly.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. Among the people, only Su Dun was the most suitable candidate. He did not come to be the consort for promotion and wealth.

"Officials, wait!"

Just when Zhao Xu was about to give the order, Queen Mother Xiang suddenly spoke up to stop Zhao Xu.

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but wonder.

Empress Dowager Xiang frowned and said: "Officials, don't worry. Since there are many young talents who want to be the prince-in-law, if the officials insist on going their own way and choose Su Dun, wouldn't it make all the officials dissatisfied and follow the truth!"

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Can't the Queen Mother see that these young talents may seem to be excellent, but they have bad intentions and are not really loyal to the consort?"

Queen Mother Xiang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether he sincerely pays homage to the consort, as long as he is willing to pay homage to the consort. However, even Su Dun had only met Rou'er once before, how could it not be for the identity of the consort. "

Zhao Xu suddenly fell into silence. To be honest, when he first heard that Su Dun was interested in marrying the consort, he had some doubts in his heart.

"What does sister mean?" Zhu Taifei's ears softened and she asked immediately.

The Empress Dowager Xiang immediately said: "Rou'er is a royal princess. Naturally, the more young talents she has for the position of consort, the better. In this case, why not let Rou'er choose it herself? It just so happens that the Song Dynasty has just changed the law of household marriage, and men and women should avoid it. Arrange marriages and avoid blind marriages, so that Rou'er and the consort can live in harmony and grow old together."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but paused. He naturally knew that the Empress Dowager Xiang's move was to allow others to participate in the competition for the Prince Consort, but Empress Dowager Xiang's words were well-founded. After all, he personally decided to change the household marriage law back then, and it was already established among the people. atmosphere, and the implementation effect is quite good.

"Just what my sister said!"

Concubine Zhu glanced at Zhao Rou, Princess of Xu State, and nodded immediately. In her opinion, it would be great if her daughter fell in love with her. As for whether it was Su Dun or not, that didn't matter.

"I will obey the orders of my mother and concubine!" Zhao Xu nodded helplessly.

In this era, parents' orders were highly valued in marriages. Shenzong died young, so the opinions of Empress Dowager Xiang and Concubine Zhu were the orders of their parents, not to mention that Empress Dowager Xiang's opinions were also well-founded.

At that moment, Zhao Xu immediately ordered the selection of candidates who were interested in becoming the consort.

Of course, Su Dun is one of the candidates, and there are also three legitimate sons of wealthy families in Kaifeng City. Unexpectedly, the playboy Pan Mei and Pan Yi are also among them.

The palace!

Princess Xu’s Palace!

Su Dun, Pan Yi and three aristocratic families from Kaifeng City gathered together. From the outside, each of them looked upright and a temporary choice, but they were more than a little bit better than Wang Shen and his ilk.

However, apart from having a better family background, Pan Yi was an out-and-out playboy. In terms of talent and learning, compared with Su Dun and the others, they were not even worthy of carrying shoes. None of them considered Pan Yi as their opponent, and they all focused on their strongest competitor, Su Dun.

Pan saw the complaint and snorted in his heart: "This time the identity of Princess Xu's consort must belong to me, Pan Yi."

If other people fail to accept the consort, they still have a way out, but if he, Pan Yi, fails to accept the consort, there may be no way out, let alone the heavy responsibility for the prosperity of the Pan family.

The Pan family was indeed a powerful person in the Song Dynasty, and their ancestors were high-ranking officials. However, by Pan Yi's generation, they had already lost their power and their family fortunes were in decline.

Coupled with the court's reform and the implementation of the shareholding system, the Pan family, which has a large number of acres of land, was severely damaged. Today's Pan family seems to have a great business, but it is just an empty frame.

Only then did the Pan family intend to favor the consort, and were prepared to sacrifice Pan Yi's future in order to stabilize the Pan family's wealth. Of course, Pan Yi himself did not have the ability to become a high school scholar.

But who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway, and the famous forensic doctor Su Dun suddenly wanted to be the consort, causing the Pan family's wishful thinking to fail.
