Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

"No, we can still abolish foot binding, but the chastity arch is of great importance. Once the public resentment boils over, how can it be calmed down? However, I have issued an order to abolish foot binding earlier, but the people pretended to obey and secretly disobeyed, and the officials in the court also refused to stop despite repeated bans. After all, the Qing Dynasty is not the country of the Manchus."

As the king of a country, no one knew better than Kangxi the difficulty of governing the Qing Dynasty!

The Han people accounted for 90% of the population of the Qing Dynasty. Even if the people gradually came to favor the Qing Dynasty, they could not resist the saying that they recognized from the bottom of their hearts: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

After cutting hair and changing clothes, chastity arches and foot binding were the last "integrity" of the Han people!

Tsk! Integrity! A bunch of old men and young men are eager to take the imperial examinations and become officials, but they show their integrity by harming women. They are really like whores who want to be virtuous.

Kangxi was disdainful of this, but this did not stop him from tacitly agreeing. After all, consolidating the Qing Dynasty was the most important thing!

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go down and rest first, we'll discuss this later."

"Yes, grandson will take his leave." Honghui did not insist, but walked out of the imperial tent with a normal expression.

It’s not really disappointing to say the least, because he had expected this beforehand!

Huang Mafa is old after all, and the ambition in his heart has faded away. Someone who is more enterprising will not have so many worries.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at his father who was one step ahead. Well, he still looked very young, completely different from his previous life!

Perhaps because of the strange look in his eyes, Yinzhen looked back in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Honghui smiled brightly: "Nothing, I just feel that father is still very young. The fifth uncle and the seventh uncle who are a few years younger than you look three to five years older than you..."

Why are you saying this for no reason? It sounds awkward.

Yinzhen's eyes wandered, he took a few quick steps, and suddenly interrupted his eldest son: "Come back quickly, aren't you tired after traveling for several days? If you are not tired, go and race horses."

Ah, aren't you angry because of shame?

Honghui quickly caught up with him and flattered him: "Father, please don't do that. Your son is tired and hungry. He just wants to have a hearty meal and a good sleep!"

……

On August 20th, the emperor returned to the palace ahead of schedule.

Before the emperor returned to Beijing, nothing was discussed. However, Kangxi was not discouraged because people were on his side and there were countless people with foresight.

——Compared with future generations, what is kinship marriage? Inbreeding and early marriage and early childbearing have become a thing of the past and will sooner or later be abandoned by the world.

This is indeed the case! In early September, the imperial court announced two earth-shaking events: "Marriage between close relatives is not good for offspring" and "Children born early will most likely die young."

It was said to be earth-shattering because the official newspaper contained a series of numbers. Those strokes of black ink looked ordinary, but no matter whether it was the common people or the rich and powerful, they all felt panic and fear in their hearts.

Is that a number? It is clearly the blood and tears history of every household over thousands of years!

The public was suddenly in an uproar. Some scolded, some were half-believing and half-doubting, some were full of regret, some were disheartened, and some believed it without a doubt, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

But before they could come to their senses, Kangxi issued two more imperial decrees.

One is: "Girls should not marry too early. From today on, they should be married until they are 17 years old. Even if there are special circumstances, they are not allowed to marry before the age of 16! The same applies to men.

In addition, the marriage and childbearing of close relatives will bring endless troubles. From now on, we will not encourage the marriage of close relatives. If you are already married or engaged, you can decide whether to divorce or cancel the engagement, but you are not allowed to divorce your wife, let alone embezzle the dowry. Otherwise, once it is verified, the officials of the prefectures and counties will punish you severely! "

Second, "From now on, whether it is a general election or a minor election, the election year should be postponed to 16 years old, and the age of those over 16 years old should be postponed to 19 years old. No concealment is allowed."

At the same time, all the beauties under the age of sixteen in this election were sent back to their respective prefectures, leaving only a few dozen people to participate in the re-election.

Following the example of the leaders, people generally accepted the idea after some discussion. There were countless divorces and cancellations of engagements, but most people just had to make do with their lives. After all, what good life could a woman have if she returned home after a divorce?

Those who are already married have to consider it carefully, while those who are not yet married have resolutely given up the idea of ​​marrying their cousins. Even those who have deep feelings for each other have to find other partners to marry under the tears and sticks of their parents.

Seeing that there was no major unrest among the people, Kangxi laughed with relief, and then took advantage of this excitement to issue more than ten imperial decrees to grant marriages.

The second one from the front is Honghui's, and the first one is from the eighteenth prince Yinzhi, who is one year older than him.

On the second day after the final selection, eunuchs, maids, and ceremonial guards marched through most of the inner city with fanfare, holding the imperial edict and heading to various mansions.

The people being married on that day were either the prince or the emperor's grandson, with members of the royal family following behind. One of the ceremonial processions stopped outside the gate of Fucha's residence.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: My grandson, Aixinjueluo Honghui, is a man of noble character, filial, and both civil and military talents, and I have always loved him. Now, there is the granddaughter of Mawu, the commander of the Bordered White Banner Mongolian Army, and the daughter of Sakcha, the councilor of the General Administration, Huimin, who is now of the age of marriage. She is from the Bordered Yellow Banner Manchuria, has a dignified appearance, is gentle and virtuous, and is beautiful and intelligent. Therefore, I decree that she shall be the legitimate wife of Prince Honghui, and choose an auspicious day for the wedding. I decree!"

It goes without saying that the entire Fucha family was overjoyed. Marrying into the royal family was an honor! Moreover, the Prince Yong's Mansion was the best destination. How could the Fucha family, who were all noble, not see that?

Ma Qi repeatedly reminded her: "Hui Min, Prince Honghui is a good match and a man with a clear mind. You must not make any mistakes and must follow the example of the Fourth Lady in everything." Don't learn from the Fourth Lady!

Fu Cha Huimin pursed her lips and nodded shyly, "Uncle, my niece knows."

Fucha was delighted, and Prince Yong's Mansion was also quite satisfied, except for Honghui.

In fact, before the imperial edict was issued, Honghui had already learned that the candidate for his wife was not someone else, but Huimin of the Fucha clan, the person he had excluded first.

Hey! Why is it that it lingers like this? It's even mixed up with Fu Cha.

However, only Honghui was dissatisfied, and everyone else praised this marriage! Fucha Huimin stood out from a group of Manchu and Mongolian noble ladies, and won the recognition of Kangxi, Defei, Yinzhen and Yixiu.

"Well, well, well, my son has made a good choice for his wife. Fu Cha is of noble birth, and her family is distinguished. Her upbringing is among the best..."

"Honghui, don't underestimate Ma Wu, who was only the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, and Sakcha, who was a minor official of the fifth rank, because of Ma Qi. Now Ma Qi has been reinstated, and Ma Wu has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Bordered White Banner Mongolian Banner. With the help of Misihan and Maska, you have not been wronged at all!"
