Chapter 689

"Divide the family property equally!"

As soon as this news came out, there was a sudden undercurrent in Chang'an City, which became the biggest breaking news at the end of the eighth year of Zhenguan. There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an city. Now the things in Mojia village can only be regarded as talk after dinner, but the equal distribution of family property is related to the lives of thousands of families.

"What's the matter? Who doesn't have a bowl of water and divide the property equally among his sons." a landlord's old wealth can't deny it.

A scholar explained, "Master Liu, you don't understand. The sons here are not only the sons of their wives, but also the sons of concubines."

"Concubines have children too." Liu's family leader was stunned when he heard the speech.

He was trying to give more of his family property to his concubine to have children. He was worried that his fierce wife would oppose it. Now, wouldn't he have a high sounding reason.

"Not only are concubines giving birth to children, but even unmarried daughters should have a dowry. There is even a rumor that if they publicly admit that illegitimate children will also get a share!" the scholar said with a smile.

"Illegitimate children too!" the Liu family leader immediately said with a happy face, and then shook his head regretfully. He was satisfied that he could arrange his concubine's son.

As long as they are normal fathers, there is no one who doesn't want to properly arrange the future of their children. After all, they want to see their concubines and children impoverished and even driven out of their homes when they are old.

The whole city of Chang'an is full of discussions. For some rich people who are romantic and have many children, this is really good news. However, in some aristocratic families, it is like a bolt from the blue, and the undercurrent moves secretly.

In Linghu's mansion, the leaders of Guanlong aristocratic family came uninvited, and the discussion of Guanlong was held again.

They are not ordinary rich families. Everyone suddenly came up with a word in their mind.

"Order of mercy!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? If you can't do it to our family, such as me!" the master of Dou family said with a gloomy face.

Linghu Dehui glared at the speech and angrily scolded the Dou family master: "how do you start with the aristocratic family? Is it to remove your title, or cut your official position or copy your family wealth?"

"Brother Linghu, I believe you know better than anyone what you say and what the consequences of the grace order are. It's just your Majesty's killing with a soft knife." master Dou frowned.

"Your Majesty doesn't trust our aristocratic family!" the master of the yuan family said with an embarrassed face.

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!" Linghu Deyu reminded.

Everyone was silent for a while. Is it a matter of trust or distrust? Do all the countries in the Western Han Dynasty want to rebel? Obviously not.

"Besides, the family property was distributed to his son, and the fat and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders." Chaishao shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Chai's words are different. After several generations, our aristocratic family will be divided, and it will be difficult for us to prosper today. At that time, we can't keep our ancestors' foundation. How can we go down to meet our ancestors in the future?" Dou said stubbornly.

"Brother Dou doesn't agree with that. The palms and backs of his hands are as painful as meat. Brother Dou won't even give up his son! It's said that brother Dou just cooked a full moon wine for eighteen sons. It's said that concubines still have children. Brother Dou wouldn't be so cruel to let his newborn children starve in the future!" Chai Shao sneered.

"Chai Shao, what do you mean? I heard that after the death of Princess Pingyang, you have a wife and four concubines in succession and have several sons. If you divide the family property equally, don't you take advantage of your meaning." Dou's master countered.

Chai Shao's face suddenly stiffened. Although Princess Pingyang passed away, as long as Li Tang was one day, Princess Pingyang's son would always be his legitimate son. Now he renewed his concubine to accompany him. Naturally, he wanted to give more to other children. Naturally, he agreed with both hands that all sons should share their property equally.

"Don't forget, you should learn from the past!" Chai shaoleng snorted.

The owners of the family were suddenly silent. What happened to the Wu family could not be a secret in Chang'an city. No one could have imagined that the respectful Wu family brother suddenly turned his face and drove the second string's legitimate mother out of the Wu family.

"This matter is one yard at a time. Your Majesty's move is quite disadvantageous to our aristocratic family. In the long run, the Guanlong aristocratic family must be gone." the yuan family master frowned.

The reason why aristocratic families are so powerful is that they do not divide their families, and their legitimate sons inherit most of their property, which ensures the inheritance of aristocratic families. The lessons of the Western Han Dynasty are right in front of us. How can aristocratic families be willing to follow suit.

"Have you ever thought about how to explain to your concubines if you oppose the equal sharing of family property?" Linghu dehu reminded.

Master Dou's face stiffened and said, "I will naturally leave him a share of his family property, which is enough to make him comfortable with food and clothing."

Everyone knows what master Dou means. Naturally, this family property is much less than sharing it equally? But when you think about it carefully, how can your concubines be reconciled if they can get more property.

"What if he is unwilling? Besides, he is a descendant of the Dou family, so he has to make sacrifices for the Dou family." master Dou said strongly.

Other aristocratic family leaders also nodded one after another. All they had was to revitalize the family. In their view, the sacrifice made by the common son was natural.

"Blame the Luoyang aristocratic family for making trouble! You dare to make trouble outside Chang'an city. It must annoy your majesty and bring today's disaster to our aristocratic family." master Dou said angrily.

The Luoyang aristocratic family Chang'an robbed the team of Mojia village on the brick road in Luoyang and set off a series of commercial wars to encircle and suppress Mojia village. Originally, they wondered why Li Shimin exposed the past so lightly, but they didn't expect to have any subsequent moves.

"The Luoyang aristocratic family deserved what they deserved, but we suffered an unwarranted disaster. At the end of the year, I naturally played the imperial court. The inheritance of my eldest son is the basis for the prosperity of our aristocratic family. How can we lose it in our hands?" the yuan family leader angrily scolded.

Many aristocratic family leaders are beneficiaries of the system of inheritance of the eldest son. Naturally, they try their best to maintain the tradition of the system of inheritance of the eldest son. Many aristocratic family leaders nod when they hear the speech

Chai Shao couldn't help humming when he heard the speech. At the beginning, no people of insight in the Western Han Dynasty realized this. In the end, there was no residue left. Let alone returning home, I'm afraid it was even more restless at home. The contradiction between his legitimate son and his concubine increased sharply. This was a naked conspiracy. The move of Guan Long family was just a mantis in vain to be a villain.

"No one has ever mentioned the theory of sharing the family property. Don't you think it's strange that your majesty suddenly mentioned it?" Chai Shao suddenly frowned.

Master Dou nodded and said, "the Luoyang aristocratic family angered your majesty because of their bad relationship with the Mohist village."

"The latest aristocratic family fighting for family property is that the Wu family brothers of the state government kicked out Yang's mother and daughter, and the second daughter of the Wu family was accepted as a disciple by the Mohist son." the head of the yuan family turned his eyes.

"Since your majesty went to the Mo mansion, the rumor of the sons sharing their property has spread in Chang'an city." Linghu de suddenly said.

"So we have found the source of all this!" master Dou said with gnashing teeth.

"MOH family!" the owners of the family said angrily.

People who can become the masters of aristocratic families are the most intelligent people. Although it is a guess, it is not far from ten. Soon, Merton, a catfish under the water, surfaced.

Not long ago, a group of aristocratic families besieged the Mojia village. Although it was the Luoyang aristocratic family that contributed, the Guanlong aristocratic family also did not save their lives, and even cooperated with the Luoyang aristocratic family. Unexpectedly, the earthly news was so fast that the Mojia Zi's counterattack came, and it was a fatal blow to the aristocratic families.

"What a universal love!" the master of the Dou family said angrily.
