Indeed, these guys with five surnames and seven hopes are powerful. Sometimes they not only don't listen to the edict, but also refute it, but they are only a few. Even if they are a few, they also make him feel ashamed. Think about it, a giant comparable to the royal family is entrenched in the Tang Dynasty. Whoever is the emperor will toss and turn, not to mention Li Shimin.
How can an emperor allow such a thing to happen?
However, he really has no good way now.
I can only talk with Fengzi. At this time, I see Fengzi talking again: "But with the marriage restriction order, there is a shackle that can trap five surnames and seven hopes. People with status are naturally unmoved, but those at the bottom must be impatient, especially those women. Their lifelong dream is to marry a good husband. Once the marriage restriction order is issued, those women will make a voice, and those with status will suppress those women, One comes and two goes, and there will be contradictions between the two. In this way, the marriage between five surnames and seven hopes will be alleviated, but... "
"But what?"
Li Shimin hurriedly said that he had just understood that the boy was stuck, which made him very unhappy.
"However, this method will take a long time to be effective."
Zhang Feng smoked, his eyes half narrowed: "and he still needs someone to cooperate."
Li Shimin frowned: "who should cooperate?"
Zhang Feng glanced at the crowd and said solemnly on his face, "we need the cooperation of other clans. As long as it is a famous clan, women with five surnames and seven hopes will ask the childe of the clan to propose marriage at the age of 12 to 14."
"This..."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuan, then looked at Zhang Feng and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. How can those clan CHILDES be so obedient?"
"It's not difficult."
Zhang Feng took a deep breath of smoke and said slowly, "think about it, the people of that clan are not proud of marrying a woman with five surnames and seven hopes. As long as you encourage them, those guys must be more positive one by one."
Li Shimin nodded slightly. He knew that Fengzi was right. Indeed, many clans were proud to marry women with five surnames and seven hopes. Even many court officials wanted to go, including some royal relatives.
But if you want to marry, do people have to marry?
People with five surnames and seven hopes are guys whose eyes are higher than the top. Even if they issue a marriage restriction order, they may not be able to stop their internal marriage.
Li Shimin was very clear about this. He said, "what you said is not wrong, but how can women with five surnames and seven hopes marry? Even if they want to marry, can the old people of that family agree?"
He thought that this would make Fengzi give up the idea. Unexpectedly, he just smiled: "I know all this, but think about it. What if the marriage restriction order was limited by half?"
Half limit
Li Shimin was stunned.
Does Feng Zi mean to restrict half of the five people with Qiwang's surname, and half of them are not restricted?
Does this work?
He was puzzled and asked, "do you mean to limit half the people and not limit half?"
Zhang Feng nodded and spit out a mouthful of smoke. Then he slowly said: "there are seven distinguished families with five surnames and seven hopes. As long as four of them are restricted and marriage is prohibited, and three are not restricted, the women of these three distinguished families will digest internally. Over time, the blood relationship will become closer and closer..."
Li Shimin frowned. He didn't understand. Isn't it a good thing that the blood relationship is getting closer and closer? The blood in the family will become more and more pure. How can it become a bad thing when it comes to Fengzi's mouth? He interrupted suspiciously: "Feng Zi, your blood relationship is getting closer and closer just now. Isn't this a good thing for the clan? They always hope so? Why are you happy?"
People also nodded one after another, because in their view, it is a good thing for close relatives to get married, especially between cousins. It is simply a match made in heaven.
In particular, some big clans, five surnames and seven hopes, think their blood is noble, so they constantly adopt the method of close relatives to ensure the purity of blood. Moreover, they think that if they marry other women, they will pollute their blood. Therefore, they can only marry their close relatives, so as to avoid the confusion of blood.
In addition, men in the Tang Dynasty are generally three wives and four concubines. A man will have many little wives. The women born to these little wives are concubines, but they will send samples under the name of their mistress. Their favorite is to marry their own cousin. It is said that they are cousins, but in fact, they may have no blood relationship at all, just because they are fostered under the name of their mistress, and the mistress is different from themselves Aunt, these concubines must also be called cousins.
The third is the view of adding relatives. They all think that the relationship will gradually alienate in the third generation. Only through marriage can this layer of interest relationship be locked again. The most important thing is that they don't know the harm of close relatives. Even if there are some deformed children, they often blame the women, saying that these women are immoral or cursed.
