"It's better to dismantle ten temples than one marriage. From the exposure of close relatives in ink magazines to marriage, to today's baby relatives and child brides, you can think about how many marriages have been destroyed in the hands of the Mohists."
In the court, Quan Wanji accused Merton of breaking up his marriage one by one.
Quan Wanji's letter was immediately approved by many ministers. Everyone believed that marriage was destiny, which was a universal concept. Although there were various disadvantages in marriage, the world believed that there were gods in temples, but they would rather dismantle it than destroy a marriage. It can be seen that the world was cautious about marriage.
The ministers couldn't help thinking about it for a while, because the one or two words of Mohist Zi invalidated so many marriages in the world. They couldn't help sighing again and again. No matter what the purpose of Mohist Zi was, it can't be denied that many men and women who should have been married changed their marriage because of Mohist Zi's words.
Even Li Shimin was speechless for a while. The Mohist family is really a catfish. They can toss around wherever they are. When they reach the age of marriage, they have caused such a big storm, which makes the people of the Tang Dynasty uneasy.
"Censor Quan, I think you are mistaken. What you said about breaking up marriage is just a paper engagement, not breaking up other people's marriage and family." Qin Qiong snorted coldly.
"Since the engagement has been made and the marriage has been signed, there is naturally no intention of going back. If the Mohist family did not interfere with the marriage, it would be a loss of conscience. Let's ask, because thousands of marriage engagements under the Mohist family were destroyed," Quan Wanji said sternly.
"Thousands of marriage engagements have been broken." the minister in the court could not help but smack his tongue. If you put such crazy things on ordinary people, I'm afraid you should think twice.
A year ago, the Mohist family exposed the harm of close relative marriage. Although it borrowed the reputation of a doctor, it was not a secret to chaotang. Everyone knew that it was the Mohist family. However, in less than a year, the Mohist family even had to dismantle a batch, which was addictive.
Qin Qiong explained: "since the two sides are not married and the marriage contract is dissolved, we can renew the good marriage. What's wrong with this? Moreover, these marriages are evil. I think breaking up such a marriage is not only meritorious, but also meritorious."
"If the Mohist family is selfless, I have nothing to say. However, the Mohist family is nothing more than defending their marriage for their own personal interests, which makes me have to doubt the character and motivation of the Mohist family." Quan Wanji pointed out.
Qin Qiong was about to argue, but a drum came from outside the palace.
"Smell the drum!"
The ministers were surprised! As important officials in the court, they naturally know the significance of hearing denggu.
"Who is playing the drum?" Li Shimin said with a frozen face.
"Tell your majesty that Lord Mo is playing the drum?" soon a bodyguard came to report.
"Mojiazi!" all the officials were stunned. How solemn it was to hear the denggu. Didn't mojiazi know the meaning of it, didn't he write to the imperial court, and went so recklessly to knock the denggu.
"Somebody, bring Merton to me. I want to see how much injustice he has." Li Shimin said angrily. He was worried that he couldn't find Merton, but he didn't expect that he would send it to the door himself.
Quan Wanji suddenly showed a trace of excitement on his face. This time, he wanted to confront Mo Jiazi face-to-face and personally throw his refutation to the ground.
"See you, Emperor!" soon, Merton came to the Tai Chi hall and bowed down to Li Dao.
Seeing Merton, Li Shimin thought that he and Princess Changle had private letters under his eyes, but he was helpless. He couldn't help but get angry and said curiously, "you have any great grievances. Tell me quickly."
Merton shook his head and said, "Wei Chen has not been wronged."
As soon as Merton's voice fell, the whole court was in an uproar. Hearing that denggu is the greatest prestige of the court, it must be a great injustice. It has not been sounded several times since its establishment
"Minister Wei wants to impeach Lord mo..." Quan wanjiton said excitedly, and all the royal princes immediately rubbed their hands and prepared to beat the water dog.
However, Li Shimin waved his hand, stopped his face and said, "do you know what a felony it is to ring the Wendeng drum without authorization?"
Merton nodded and said solemnly, "although Weichen has no grievances, the Korean woman has great grievances. Weichen is knocked by him."
"Han's daughter?" the people suddenly looked at Merton strangely.
"Han's daughter is the woman on the night of the Lantern Festival?" Qin Qiong asked involuntarily.
All the courtiers suddenly pricked up their ears. Only Li Shimin knew the truth.
Merton shook his head and said, "no, I don't know Han's daughter. Today is the first time I've heard of Han's daughter."
"What's wrong with the Han women? Why don't you sue the officials in person, but you will replace them." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Merton immediately said sadly, "it should start with the bloody wedding in Chang'an City this morning..."
"Bloody wedding!" when Quan Wanji heard the name, he suddenly felt a bad feeling.
With Merton's low voice, the tragic fate of a cardamom girl with a sad life emerged in his heart.
When I heard that the Hu family killed herself in the sedan chair, even the courtiers were hard hearted, but I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.
"Now Han Fu, Hu family and matchmaker Zhu all think it's not their fault. Now the Hu family's daughter is still dead in the street. Let's stop by Chang'an County Government for the moment. Weichen's move is not to smell the denggu for the Han family's daughter alone, but to ask your majesty to preside over justice for the women like the Han family's daughter in the world. Whose fault is this?" Merton said proudly.
Merton's low words echoed in the Tai Chi hall like thunder, and all the courtiers were immediately silent.
The fragrant soul of a cardamom girl drifted away. Legally, none of the three who forced the woman was guilty. Moreover, such behavior is not uncommon in the whole Tang Dynasty, but none of them, like mojiazi, sounded the Wen Deng drum for it.
"This is my fault!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty, don't?" the ministers were shocked and hurriedly exhorted.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "all the people in the world are my people. It's my responsibility for the Korean woman to die unjustly. I didn't do my duty to protect him."
It is true that there are various factors in the tragedy of the Han family woman, but more importantly, she has no choice but to fight with death in the face of her marriage, which is the responsibility of the Social Court.
"Your Majesty, this is a difficult problem in all dynasties, and the imperial court has repeatedly banned it!" all the ministers urged.
Li Shimin took a deep breath: "there are all dynasties. If we don't solve it one day, there will be countless tragedies similar to Korean women in the future. Since I have known it, how can I make mistakes again and again."
There was a moment of silence in chaotangdun. Obviously, from their eyes, they naturally know that the current marriage contract system in Datang is indeed unreasonable.
However, the root cause of arranged marriage is the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles of Confucianism. Arranged marriage is just an extension of the principle of husband as wife and father as son. If it is changed rashly, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of Confucianism. This is what courtiers worry about.
