1373. Chapter 1373 Monogamy

When Ye Zhen came to the imperial study, in addition to the cabinet ministers, Huangfu Chen and Shui Yichen were waiting for her here.

After saluting, Huangfu Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Zhen, "Tianfei has been busy for a few days, why don't you have a good rest today?"

"There are some things I want to let you know as soon as possible." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "From now on, it is not suitable to have morning court every five days or every two days. Not all officials in the court are on errands near Kyoto. Sometimes it takes more than half a day to go back and forth. It takes too long, so morning pilgrimage once every five days is just right.”

It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and no one wants to brave the cold wind and heavy snow to enter the palace early in the morning, and some errands cannot be solved in a day or two. If there is really an emergency, you can go to the palace to see the Concubine, so Ye Zhen's suggestion is very It was quickly approved and Liu Zhanhu wrote it down, and it could be promulgated in the morning court two days later.

Ye Zhen glanced at them, "One more thing is about the law of marriage. I read your new law a few days ago. Men can have three wives and four concubines, and women can have three husbands and four attendants. This law no."

Men can have three wives and four concubines. This law has been passed down from ancient times. There are few men in the world who don't like to hug each other, but women can have three husbands and four concubines. This law must have been added because of her. Maybe they I still don’t want to.

Shui Yichen looked a little nervous, "Why not?"

"The important thing between husband and wife is to support each other. One husband and one wife are enough. The laws of this dynasty do not need to serve other countries. A man can only take a concubine after he is thirty years old and has no heirs. Doting on a concubine and destroying his wife is a capital crime, especially if the dynasty is serving If an official takes concubines and destroys his wife in the future, he will be dismissed from the official position immediately. In the same way, women should also follow the monogamy system. If there is disharmony between husband and wife and want to marry another person, they must first reconcile with their husbands and divorce them. Only after the government has signed the divorce letter can you choose a husband and marry another. The marriage law must change this before it can be promulgated." Ye Zhen said firmly, since she didn't like men having three wives and four concubines, how could she like women having three husbands and four attendants.

Her father once told her that there is no room for a third person between husband and wife. Even if the relationship between the two is not good, they should separate before marrying another. The relationship between him and his mother at that time was not considered loving, and his grandmother and His eldest uncle advised him to take a concubine and keep a caring person by his side, but his father never agreed. This was his respect for his mother.

When she was in Jin Kingdom, she couldn't ask Murong Zhan to promulgate such a law. She was just a queen, but now that Yuan Kingdom is hers, she naturally wants to change the law. Women can't only live by men. A man can have three wives and four concubines if he wants.

"Tianfei, once this law is promulgated, many people will oppose it." Liu Zhanhu said hesitantly.

I'm afraid there are only a few men in the world who don't keep concubines. If they are not allowed to keep concubines, then...will those people agree?

"It is impossible for everyone to agree to the new law. The only ones who oppose it are men who want to take concubines." Ye Zhen glanced at them. They were all men here and they opposed her new law. The law is normal.

Huangfu Chen glanced at Ye Zhen with a faint smile, "I agree with this law."

Shui Yichen looked at him with a cold gaze.

He knew that there were ministers in the court who wanted to propose that Concubine Tian follow the custom of the Atlantic and summon the ministers from the court to the palace to sleep with her every night. In this way, the influence of Murong Zhan on Concubine Tian could be divided, so as to avoid Mo Rongzhan's influence in the future. Zhan deceived Yuan Guo.

However, if Tianfei's law is promulgated, it will be impossible to have this opportunity again.

He even wondered whether the Concubine Tian knew what some ministers were thinking, so she promulgated this law in advance to silence them.

"Since even Mr. Huangfu agreed, I have no objection." Liu Zhanhu said.

The others looked at each other, and two of them looked at Shui Yichen. Shui Yichen didn't even speak, and they didn't know what to say. This law will indeed make some people object, but, as Tian Fei said , the new law will not be liked by everyone. Just like the law they negotiated before, even if it is promulgated, it may cause even greater backlash.

"I have no objection." Shui Yichen whispered. He knew that she would not change her mind. Even if they both disagreed, who could guarantee that she and Mo Rongzhan would never be separated for the rest of their lives?

Even if the relationship was good in the past, now the emperors of different countries must have different interests, and sooner or later there will be disagreements.

He can wait!

Since even Shui Yichen had no objection, no one would raise any objection.

After discussing several policies, Ye Zhen changed from her previous compromising attitude. As long as the minister did not have enough reasons to convince her, she would stick to her decision.

After most of the day, Ye Zhen finally showed a satisfied smile. Sure enough, Mo Rongzhan was right. As the concubine, she was the decision-maker. She couldn't hesitate every time during discussions. This would make everyone misunderstand that she was not the one who made the decision. She was so satisfied with their suggestions, so she had to make the decision decisively.

"By the way, after everything stabilizes, I'm going to visit Jin Country." Ye Zhen said.

Shui Yichen, who wanted to be calm now, couldn't calm down. He suddenly raised his head and looked at her, "Jin Guo?"

Ye Zhen said, "You all know that it has been almost three years since I left Jin Kingdom. There are many things that have not been done there, so I must go back to Jin Kingdom."

"What kind of identity did the concubine have to go to the Kingdom of Jin?" Shui Yichen asked again. If she was the concubine, she would not be careless on this trip. If she was the empress of the Kingdom of Jin... that would be a different story. , but now that she is a concubine, why can she still be a queen in Jin Kingdom?

"In the Yuan Kingdom, I was naturally the Concubine of Heaven, and in the Jin Kingdom... I was naturally the Queen of the Jin Kingdom. There is no conflict between the two." Ye Zhen said lightly.

Shui Yichen said, "How could there be no conflict? You are the imperial concubine of the Yuan Kingdom..."

"In the Yuan Kingdom, I am the Concubine of Heaven. You can interfere with my affairs, but as the Queen of the Jin Kingdom, it is my family matter." Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen, "The family matter is my own business."

Huangfuchen asked in a low voice, "Then when will you set off?"

"We haven't arranged a time yet. We'll talk about it after the law is promulgated." Ye Zhen said calmly, "That's it for today. If you have anything else, please wait until the morning meeting in three days."

"Tianfei!" Shui Yichen frowned. He really didn't want to see her return to Jin Kingdom.

Ye Zhen said nothing and asked them all to retreat.

Walking out of the imperial study, Shui Yichen grabbed Huangfuchen fiercely, "Why didn't you stop her?"

"How do you want me to stop Yaoyao?" Huangfuchen asked in a low voice, didn't he want to stop her? If only it were that easy to stop Yaoyao.
