[Red House + Comprehensive] Respect to the water

In a few days, Shui Che and Shui Qi brought a group of palace people to live in the two adjacent courtyards on the west side of the main hall of the Second Main Hall of the East Palace, not to mention the place where the emperor went to work during the day. ——now the first person in the East Palace to enter the main hall—and it’s a lot closer, making Shui Qing a little envious, but unfortunately he’s already married and left the palace, and he really doesn’t have the face to tell the prince that he wants to live in, but Still accidentally revealing such a point of mouth, the prince recently laughed meaningfully every time he saw him.

Shui Qing really couldn't do anything about this younger brother, since he didn't respect this matter, so he had no choice but to let him laugh, but later Concubine Liang found out that she didn't care that he had children, so she just took him into her arms and rubbed him for a long time , and laughed until tears came out, Shui Qing could only bear it with a blushing face and gritted teeth.

He really can't afford to offend the prince, not only because he is the prince, not only because he is favored by the emperor's father, but he really can't resist the joint attack of his mother, concubine and little sisters.

But he didn't want to, the prince laughed at him for a few days, but later gave him good news.

Because the eldest son of the emperor was outstanding in riding and shooting, the emperor specially ordered him to spend half an hour in the afternoon every three days to go to the East Palace to teach the prince and other young Douding.

What made Shui Qing even more overjoyed was that whenever the emperor could spare time, he would love to come and have a look.Not every time he would approach and talk, but as long as the emperor watched from a distance, Shui Qing would be full of energy!

Actually, he practiced a group of little beanlings according to the appearance he imagined to train soldiers, and made many pampered little guys complain about it, but not only the water was clear, but the prince was also very cooperative. In this way, it is The most delicate Shui Ming didn't dare to complain.For a moment, this group of child soldiers looked very handsome, and the emperor laughed when he saw it.

It just so happened that the emperor was also troubled by the two imperial orders about the issue of conferring titles on the children of each clan. As Zuo Zongling said, the conferring of titles was still the same as in the previous generation. I can't afford it anymore, and I don't want to reach out to the treasury in order to give the clan's children a high title, and reach out to the emperor's own small inner treasury, that's something that Zuo Zongling dare not mention...

But if it is true as You Zongling said, except for the eldest son who was demoted to the rank of noble, the other sons are actually the same as the sons of the concubine, and it is fine to give it to a third-class general. , the noise was not as good as those of the dukes' houses, and the emperor couldn't bear that face.

But as You Zongling said, because the clan's sons don't worry about titles, there will always be someone high or low enough for the family to eat, drink and have fun. Instead, the children of the Shui family are raised and disabled, and the emperor has no more face.

Shui Qing trained a group of clan sons who entered the palace to study into child soldiers, which gave the emperor an inspiration.

Anyway, apart from the clan princes at the founding of the country, Daqing has no rule not to be degraded to the rank of nobility. Unless the emperor gives special favors, every generation will always be demoted one or two levels. As long as it is done properly, it is nothing to give the clan viscount The key is not to give the children of the Shui family the confidence that "no matter what happens, they can get a title".

And that's all for the first son, whether it's the first son or the second son, even if it's just a registered son, as long as it's not from a lowly maidservant, the royal family doesn't bother to care about it.But bastard...

The emperor thought back to the household registration data from the Ministry of Household Statistics, because there have been no internal and external wars in recent years, and the only time against the Eastern Japanese was that he did not lose a lot of manpower, and because most of the people, for various reasons, always value men more, Da Qing The number of middle-aged and middle-aged men is 0.02 times more than that of women, and the proportion of young children is slightly larger... In this way, even if they are all monogamous, there are always two in every 100 people. A man cannot marry a wife.But not to mention princes and nobles, even ordinary people, as long as they have a little money, they often like to take a concubine to raise a house...

So this time the emperor decided to be stricter with the concubine in the inheritance of the clan and title, but it was definitely not only because he was always in love with Zhen Gongren in his heart, it was indeed for the sake of Daqing's foundation.

However, considering his own situation, the emperor did not knock all the concubines into the dust with a stick, but the sons of the maidservants must not be destined for the title, even if they are remembered.Other concubines, even if they are serious concubines and second wives, can only be lowered to the second level of nobility by comparing with the second son of the first son; among them, the first son is recorded, unless the first wife has no children, otherwise he is not eligible to inherit his father's title, even if he is really the second son. The wife has no children, so she can only be treated as the original second son, that is, after the first and second grades that should have been lowered, she will be demoted to the second rank.

In this way, even if there are greedy and lustful people in the clan, they are more willing to work hard with their first wife for the sake of inheriting the title of the future generations.

Of course, this is not enough, the emperor also added a point, although the Shui family was born in the south, Daqing established his country with martial arts, especially until now, there is still Wala watching over him. As for the other members of the clan, apart from those cases where they are absolutely not eligible for a knighthood, they must also pass the riding and archery martial arts test.

As for daughters, they are worse than men, and the title space of concubines has been compressed even more.Because it is not easy for daughters to take the imperial examination for riding and archery, unless the emperor is willing to let the emperor help to select the in-laws, even if it is from a concubine of a good family, except for those from the concubine who has been formally registered at the Zongling, the title is not even thought of. Thinking about it, the size of the dowry depends entirely on the wishes of her parents.

Of course, if the real Jane is in the emperor's heart, or has other outstanding meritorious deeds, it is natural that there is no need to write it into the new patriarchal clan order.

As soon as this modification came out, it really caused an uproar in the capital, but the Qingliu faction only applauded, the clan family, although many men who prefer the second son and the concubine seem to drink Coptis chinensis, but those concubine wives, even the most doting The child's old grandmother also gritted her teeth and insisted on making strict demands on the child's riding and archery homework - what is such a little bit of suffering compared to knocking the concubine's sons and daughters into the dust?

Therefore, it was unexpectedly easy to implement this imperial decree to restrain the rights and interests of the clan.No matter how much a man mutters, he is not ashamed to say that he really wants to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. No matter how virtuous a woman is, she only cares about the inner house. How can she come here to point fingers at the imperial decree?

By the way, a series of chain reactions are also very interesting.

The men of the clan accepted this fact with pain, but even the dignitaries of the clan are like this. How can they see that other honorable families or those who are not even counted as honorable, have a little bit of ability, not to mention three wives and four concubines, and they can pamper women wantonly Of the children born?

Therefore, before the emperor established the royal family school to provide a better environment for the children of the clan to learn civil and military knowledge so that they could get the title more smoothly in the future, people in the court had already made suggestions one after another, for example: the royal family took the lead in pioneering etiquette and law So, should other noble families be stricter when it comes to seizing titles?After all, in recent dynasties, although it is not illegal for the concubine to record the succession to the noble, it was originally for the sake of those families who really do not have a concubine so that they would not be able to enjoy the blessings that their ancestors worked so hard to earn, but it was not for them to be separated. , Rites and music collapsed!

All of this was expected by the emperor, although the clans moved faster than he expected, and Qingliu's attack surface was a bit bigger——

Qingliu families, such as old lady Chen Fu's family, have always strictly abided by the rule that only forty children can take concubines. If they violate this rule, no matter how talented they are, they have no right to call themselves noble.However, due to the influence of the general environment in recent years, there are quite a few unfilial children who, although they did not produce bastards, are still under the excessive doting of their grandmothers and mothers, and they are quite serious concubines.

Therefore, led by Mrs. Chen, Tete added one more thing in addition to honors: But if you have a serious concubine before forty childless, no matter whether you have a concubine or not, you are not eligible to be promoted to the fifth rank If you give birth to a concubine, the concubine and the three generations of his descendants will not even have the qualifications for a serious scientific examination. In the heart of the emperor!

Very good, the emperor had this plan long ago, but he didn't expect Qingliu to be so cooperative, thinking that he would secretly provoke the clan again!So just right, even though the emperor was still superborn in his writings in the end, and did not completely eliminate the hope of the concubine's scientific examination, but he also counted himself and the three generations of his descendants with reference to his father, and none of them were qualified to be promoted to the fifth rank or above!

In this way, when the dignitaries, officials and families strictly separate concubines and concubines, the folks don't need to make special orders, and those who want to make progress will not be willing to take concubines and have concubines.

Even so, there is no guarantee that all the men in Daqing will be able to marry wives. After all, the population ratio is there. It is not good for the emperor to force people to have more daughters, but it will not take ten years. There will be much less resentment towards women.And other things... Even if it is true that there are always two out of every hundred who cannot marry a wife, it can just motivate the men to make progress, and the emperor is no longer going to interfere.

Now, it only took a mere one month to basically solve the pressure on the royal private treasury caused by the overpopulation of the clan, as well as the imbalance in the population of men and women registered in the whole territory of Daqing reported by the Ministry of Households, and I am in a good mood After the emperor approved the last memorial, he checked the sky, but Shen Mo happened to have dinner with the crown prince.

Because the third and fourth sons of the emperor are all living in the East Palace now, and it is time to go to school with the prince again, no matter how biased the emperor is, it is not good to be so biased, and today is just the day when Shui Qing enters the palace to train child soldiers Although he should have gone back early at this time, the emperor could not help but casually say that he ordered a family banquet to be held in Duanben Hall, and that the third and fourth sons of the emperor would come together. And come over... And I went to the small garden behind the prince's bedroom.

really!

Even though he had been prepared, the emperor still reflexively felt his teeth itch when he saw the brat holding the prince's shoulder with one hand and covering the prince's hand with the other, rubbing together a small tender seedling on the ground.

It's just that the emperor is the emperor after all, and even the doll grown out of the seeds he bred can only be regarded as the son of that brat's family, and he has been there for another generation. He and Jia Jingming are making fun of themselves by picking their noses and eyes.

The emperor even still had the gentle and loving smile on his face every time he saw the prince!

Slowly walking up to the prince, before completely ignoring Jia Jing, he actually nodded to him, but there was no hesitation in his hands, what about holding his shoulders, what holding hands to communicate with Xiao Nen Miao Well, since the emperor is here, there is nothing to do with Jia Jing.

The crown prince didn't feel bad at all, he laughed more happily when he was embraced by his imperial father than in Jia Jing's arms, Jia Jing's face was paralyzed and the roots of his teeth were itchy: everyone recognized me as my "mother", but unexpectedly Why don't you go back to the nest and gnaw it, gnaw it, eat it all, let him come out and mess with me, it's really...

Despise the old father's ability to act a hundred times without explaining it!
