reincarnated as king

With one person missing, the capital is still the capital.

Liu Zhen rushed to Yanjing with Bei Gongdi's solemn entrustment, leaving behind him the core of the Great Jin Dynasty that continued to operate, only the Baiyun Temple in the north of the city had a puppet or thought about it.From this point of view, the words of later generations justly expressed the fact that the capital, which is overwhelmed by power and ups and downs, is really cold and realistic.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a man came out of a mansion that looked quite wealthy in a state of embarrassment, stumbled to the Cuifeng Building, poured bitter water on one person, and got drunk at the same time.

"Brother Huang, tell me, what's the point of being alive? Huh? Yizhen, Yizhen, he only cares about Yizhen. The eldest son is in his heart, and I'm afraid he doesn't have a hair of Yizhen. It's important! This time we have to separate the family! For a wild boy whom we haven't seen in ten years—he wants to separate!"

The speaker raised his head from the table, his eyes were slightly red, and the expression on his face was somewhat angry, aggrieved, sad and desperate.The thick clothes from a well-to-do family were stained with wine stains, making him look extremely depressed.

One of the two people at the table with him sighed lowly, and did not try his best to persuade him: "Brother Huo, this is really not a problem!"

"Come, drink, drink!" Hearing this, the person who complained was silent instead, just murmured with the subconsciousness brought about by the alcohol.

"The division of the world is roughly like this." The man who spoke had a hint of helplessness in his tone, but his eyes remained extremely indifferent, "I haven't seen you for a month, I don't know, it's such a mess." to the point-"

"I'm afraid everyone in the neighborhood knows it." The complainer snorted.He hiccupped, and then looked at the other person on the wine table with a pair of drunken eyes: "Brother Huang, you haven't introduced me to me yet, who is this person?"

"Jingguan is my best friend, how old is my elder. You can call him Brother Fang."

"Oh, I don't know that Brother Fang is also a wine lover?" The half-drunk and half-awake person glanced at him, "Brother Huang and I just get along with each other through wine, haha!"

The man sat with a calm face as usual, and put his arms around the waist of the person next to him in a place where no one could see, and said in a gentle voice: "I'm not a person who is greedy for drinking—I'm here today. It's just for watching, not to let Adi drink more." The man only thought that they were close, and he was talking about Adi.

"No, no, the contents in this glass must have all kinds of wonderful things." The man poured another bowl of wine, and finally passed out on the table.

"This man, what should we do?" Fang Jingxuan looked at him carefully for a while, seeing that he fell into a deep sleep for a while, and asked the people around him a little speechlessly.

Bei Gongdi grabbed the unruly hand that had been on his waist since the beginning, and pinched his arm hard. Fang Jingxuan tightened his arm in pain, and Bei Gongdi was taken away all of a sudden. In the past, she fell into his arms.

Bei Gongdi snorted coldly, turned his head away, his eyebrows and cold eyes were not coquettish.Although the three of them were in the private room on the second floor, outsiders were not allowed to see them, but such unscrupulousness finally aroused a bit of anger and annoyed him. "Of course someone will send this person back—didn't you forget the purpose of coming out?"

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Fang Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and leaned into his ear and said, "You really wronged me, Brother Huang Xian."

"Behave, Fang Jingxuan!" Xu Shi was shocked by his rascal appearance, Bei Gongdi blushed angrily, and lowered his voice.Fang Jingxuan didn't let go, his face calmed down, and he said slowly: "The concubine who was raised since childhood is not favored, but he dotes on a concubine whom he hasn't seen in ten years. This Huo family is a bit ridiculous."

Today, he accompanied Beigongdi in Weifu, and came to the Cuifeng Building in the west of the capital. He wanted to have a few drinks, but he was stopped by a person who claimed to be Beigongdi's drinking buddy, and he stayed on the second floor for a while. Object of complaint.

This person is called Huo Yitang, who has been in business for generations. Although he is not rich and powerful, he is also a son of a well-off businessman.If nothing else, as the eldest son, he should have inherited his father's property.But a few days ago, a "bastard" Huo Yizhen came from his hometown. Perhaps because of guilt, or because he thought of the beautiful concubine who died in his hometown, the master of the Huo family reversed his dignity for a while, and spoiled his youngest son so much that he wanted to separate. Half of the pavement is given to the youngest son.Huo Yitang was naturally dissatisfied, but his father insisted on not changing his mind. He was disheartened at the moment, and when he went out to get drunk, he ran into a drinking buddy whom he had met a few times.

Hearing what he said, Bei Gongdi didn't know what he thought of, and said calmly, "Is there still a lot of absurd things in the world?"

Fang Jingxuan suddenly understood what he meant, and said sincerely: "I'm not talking about the royal family—"

Jin □ □ Concubine Hui and Empress had only Prince Jialing, Bei Gong Yu, as a direct son. Bei Gong Di's biological mother was a concubine who died of illness not many years after giving birth to Queen Yue.The immature and precocious Bei Gongdi was later raised under the name of Queen Huihe, but because of his embarrassing status, he was regarded as half a legitimate son, coupled with the treacherous secrets in the palace, Bei Gongdi had just practiced so many scheming.

"I know." Bei Gongdi interrupted him, and a thoughtful look slowly appeared on his face.The two talked slowly, but there was a kind of tacit understanding and warmth in it.

The "Inheritance Law" is one of the few laws that Bei Gongdi has seen in later generations with fewer loopholes in writing.On the one hand, it is because of the tradition of monogamy on another continent that the lovers are not taboo, which leads to the chaotic relationship between children and heirs, and there is no room for a slight difference in interest disputes, which promotes the perfection of this law; At that time, it had just transitioned to a constitutional monarchy, and the law of succession to the throne was urgently needed to protect the interests of the class, so the authorities vigorously promoted it to correct its omissions.

But the marriage system of Dajin is different.Although it is polygamy in name, in fact, a man has only one official wife, and if other women marry into the family and call them concubines, the number of concubines is strictly regulated.If there is no fame and fame, common people cannot even marry concubines.

Among the high-ranking households of the Hou family, it is important to respect the eldest son.According to the regulations of the Jin Dynasty, the person who inherits the title must be the eldest son. If there is no son, it will be the eldest son's turn, and the successor will be designated as the eldest son by the clan.The "Law of Title Inheritance" promulgated by Bei Gongdi changed hereditary succession to subtractive succession.It stipulates: "...the eldest son of each king of the royal family is the eldest son at the age of ten, and inherits the first-class nobility; when the sons are ten years old, inherits the second-class nobility... until the second-class earl, the descendants of the second-class earl will not If you apply for a name from the clan's mansion, you will no longer belong to the royal family. Those who have civil and military talents can be tested and appointed as officials, and they can also engage in various occupations such as scholars, farmers, businessmen, etc."

In the same way, an official's Yinbu must also be of direct blood.Not to mention the rest.Among the aristocratic families, it is not uncommon for those who dote on their youngest sons and treat their legitimate sons poorly, but the Huo family is also a rare gem if they make trouble to separate the family for the sake of their youngest sons.

Yang Zirong, who was about to go back to his residence, vaguely heard someone calling his name when he left the main hall of the Wenhua Palace after the morning court. He turned his head and saw Bu Ning, one of the chief eunuchs, trotting towards him with a smile on his face: "Master Yang! , Your Majesty, please go to the Jingxin Hall to greet you after you come down."

Yang Zirong quickly agreed, and immediately set off to Jingxin Hall in the north of Wenhua Hall.When he got there, he found that there was only one person inside who was flipping through the documents on the table, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Yang Zirong also recognized this person, he was Wang Shan, the champion of the new division.

On February 27th, the first year of Qianning, the emperor opened the Chunwei Examination Section, and added the Enke Examination in the next year and the year after that for three consecutive years.He ordered Chen Xiayang, the prince's grand teacher, to be the chief examiner, Fang Jingxuan, the prince's grand master and minister of rites, to be the deputy examiner, and seven people from the Imperial Academy to supervise and preside over the matter.

It was through this selection process that Wang Shan came to the fore, he was the most powerful man in the world, and was selected by Bei Gongdi as the No. 1 Jinshi and No. [-], also known as the No. [-] scholar.

The 25-year-old Wang Shan not only has extraordinary literary talents, but also is handsome and handsome, and he performed outstandingly in the palace examination—although in this life, for some reason, Bei Gongdi quietly changed the topic, and he was still very satisfied with his answer, so he still clicked on it. He is champion.And he was immediately granted the title of sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and Bei Gongdi also gave him an official title of a Bachelor of Attendance.

Bei Gongdi has a good impression of Wang Shan, who was one of the "Five Scholars of Qianning" in the last life, and he also knows that Wang Shan was not born in a family of officials or a family of farming and studying - he is a direct descendant of the famous Yue merchant royal family member.It can be seen from this that the number one scholar did not intend to become an official at all when he took the imperial examination.And his own interest lies naturally in business and finance.

In this life, Bei Gongdi will naturally not leave him idle for another four years. Such a great talent will not be used. Instead, he will be recruited early to find a host for the future Dajin Royal Bank.Moreover, Bei Gongdi didn't want to be unable to find a leader to take over the household department when Yao Tiqiu became an official in the eighth year of Qianning.

Yang Zirong didn't know Wang Shan's family. He and the new top scholar had only met each other a few times. Although they both served as officials in the Imperial Academy, Yang Zirong was sent by Bei Gongdi to be in charge of naval affairs, and he hardly ever returned to the Imperial Academy. , and naturally did not have a good conversation with Wang Shan.

"Wang Shan, have you finished watching..." Bei Gongdi, who entered from the side of the hall, asked.Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Zirong immediately knelt down and bowed to Wang Shan who put down the documents.Bei Gongdi took a look at them, and sat back on the tall and spacious dragon chair: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Your Majesty, I just read the "Law of Inheritance of Titles" and "Law of Inheritance of Property", and I am a little puzzled." Wang Shan carefully considered his words and said cautiously.Although Bei Gongdi gave him a seat, the two of them didn't dare to sit down in a big way, they only got a third of the stool on their buttocks, and they leaned obliquely.

Bei Gongdi waved his hand and said, "The "Law of Inheritance of Titles" was announced at the beginning of the year, and the draft of the "Law of Inheritance of Property" was drafted by Tui Min. You might as well speak up about the problem."

Yang Zirong secretly slandered that Fang Jingxuan was the one who discussed this matter with Bei Gongdi, and Bei Gongdi insisted on using "Xiaofu is in charge of the study of the Eastern Palace, you draft this document first, and the original manuscript is taken away" to push the matter away. It was given to him—although there is no difference between His Majesty's thoughts and Fang Jingxuan's thoughts, but he is in charge of the sea ship, isn't he busy?

Yang Zirong comforted himself by saying "the able one works harder", and said kindly: "My lord, please tell me."

"First, regarding the succession of titles, I have the audacity to ask whether the sons of the second-class earls do not inherit the title, do they inherit their father's property? That is, if it does not comply with the "Law of Inheritance of Titles", is it included in the "Law of Inheritance of Property"?

"Secondly, in the "Law of Inheritance of Titles", for meritorious honors, it is stipulated that those who have not studied in the Fan Xue or Guozijian are not eligible to inherit the title of viscount or higher. And their biological mother or spouse is Han, and they can get extra points. This bonus is the same as The extra points in the "Property Inheritance Law" determine whether the heir gets the property share. Is there an interoperable settlement?

"Thirdly, as far as meritorious lords, aristocratic families, and common people are concerned, the "Property Inheritance Law" seems to be too biased toward legitimate sons. It stipulates that concubine sons have no right to inherit titles, make up for official positions, or inherit land. Wouldn't that make the people complain?"

Yang Zirong who was on the side was good at raising Qi, and he didn't show any strangeness, but he was extremely surprised. These points raised by Wang Shan basically coincided with the main content of the memorial he presented today.

After thinking for a while, Bei Gongdi spoke to Wang Shan and said, "Your doubts about the first and second points, Yang Zirong can clear up your doubts in a while. I will explain the third doubt to you."

"The "Property Inheritance Law" is biased towards sons. First, the emperor's examination has the ancestral precept of 'establishing the eldest son'. Second, I also have other considerations. In the "Youyi Relocation Order" promulgated last year, it is stipulated: If you move to the north and are willing to farm, you can participate in the Youyi immigration. Although the concubine cannot inherit the land, his parents can give him money for him to immigrate to the North. In the future, I will also join the southern and western frontiers in the Youyi The scope of immigration in the town. Don't worry about the livelihood of the concubines."

"Thirdly, I have heard among the people that the absurd family who favors the concubine and destroys the son-in-law is not only against human nature, but also leads to brothers fighting against each other. If the inheritance of property is clearly stipulated, then the matter of fighting brothers for profit It will not happen, the son loves his siblings, and the son respects the elder, so it is considered as a concern for the people."

In addition to providing immigrant population for the Youyi noble system, there is another point that Beigongdi did not say. The implementation of the light inheritance law will also gradually change polygamy to monogamy. Thinking about it this way, Beigongdi I feel that I have done a great deed for the women of future generations.

"Your Majesty is wise." Regardless of whether they were thoughtful or not, the two praised with a wink.Bei Gongdi smiled, waved his hand, and signaled them to go to the side hall to discuss on their own.
