Chapter 852 Promulgating the new "Marriage Law" and the two regular wives, Xianzong arrested Sister Yue(2/3)

Sister Nangong Meijiao walked in with Song Ruyue and others.

Nangong Huoyue glanced at someone, with a faint smile on her face: "Sir, long time no see."

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Nangong Huoyue glanced at the others again and said with a smile: "Mrs. Song, Miss Qin, how are you doing recently?"

Song Ruyue was flattered and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything about the civilian woman is fine."

Second Miss Qin also expressed her gratitude respectfully.

Nangong Huoyue smiled, dragged her fiery red skirt, walked towards the back room, and said: "Come in, everyone, let's chat while eating. I had a meal at your house last time, so I want to invite you back today.

, everyone doesn’t need to be too formal, just treat it as if you are eating at your own home.”

When she said the words "home", she looked at someone again.

"Aunt, Wei Mo, let's go."

Nangong Xueyi pulled them in very relaxedly and naturally.

Several people entered the back room, and after seeing the Queen sitting down first, they lowered their heads and slowly took their seats.

Nangong Huoyue was sitting alone opposite, looking at someone opposite, and suddenly sighed and said: "The last time I had dinner in your mansion, I was scolded by my husband with a slap in the face. I was very angry at the time. But

After I came back, I thought about it carefully and felt that what my husband said was right. As a woman, I have now ascended the throne and become the emperor, so I should contribute to the women of the world."

As she said that, she picked up a book from the table and said: "Sir, Mrs. Song, Miss Qin Er, you all have a copy of the "Dayan Marriage Law" in front of you. It was newly revised and formulated by me and the ministers after long discussions.

, has been promulgated. Compared with the previous marriage law, some regulations have been added and some regulations have been deleted. You can take a look. If you think there is anything inappropriate, just tell me and I will discuss it with the ministers.

Modify it again.”

"Because it is a new law, some regulations have shaken the legal foundation and customs of Great Yan for many years, so it will be implemented in Kyoto for the time being. If the effect is good, it will be promoted nationwide."

Upon hearing this, several people found that there was indeed a brand new book on the table in front of them.

On the cover of the book, there are five characters "Dayan Marriage Law" written on it.

Nangong Meijiao and Nangong Xueyi each also placed a copy in front of them.

Several people looked at each other silently, then picked it up, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Nangong Huoyue said: "Before the revision, I have talked with Miss Qin Er and Meijiao, and I have added all the things you proposed. However, the regulations that concubines cannot be divorced and bought and sold at will are unanimously opposed by the ministers, and I also

I had no choice but to delete it. As for the wife, I fought hard for a long time before the ministers agreed. However, only men who have contributed to the country and made meritorious deeds can have two head wives. But the head wives are also divided into big and small, and the son of the eldest wife can inherit the title of the head of the family.

Titles, family property, etc..."

At this point, she glanced at Miss Qin and said: "But if the eldest wife is infertile and has no children, then the son of the younger wife can also inherit these. As for the concubine, she can inherit some family property, but the title and most of the family property are

It cannot be inherited..."

Hearing this, Miss Qin Er raised her head and glanced at her. When she met her gaze, she lowered her head again.

Nangong Huoyue looked at someone and said, "Sir, please open it and have a look. If there is anything inappropriate, just say it. I will consider it carefully."

Luo Qingzhou opened the book and read it carefully for a while, and found that there were still some regulations about disrespecting women.

But he knew that these regulations were deeply ingrained in the hearts of all people in Great Yan and even neighboring countries, and it was impossible to change them all at once.

The Queen had just ascended the throne, so naturally she did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and make large-scale changes in a big way.

Now that I have made such a change, I guess I have already incurred a lot of pressure and infamy.

Especially the two head wives, it's just nonsense.

It is estimated that those ministers were forced by her threats and reluctantly agreed.

In the room, it became quiet.

There was only the sound of a few people turning the pages of a book.

Nangong Huoyue drank tea and waited patiently.

After guessing that everyone had finished reading, she said, "Mrs. Song, do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified?"

Song Ruyue said quickly: "These regulations revised by your majesty are already a great favor for women in the world. The women think that these regulations are perfect and your majesty is kind. I, the lady of Dayan, will definitely be grateful and shed tears of gratitude!

"

The corner of Nangong Huoyue's mouth moved slightly and said, "Mrs. Song, don't you think it would be inappropriate for a man to have two wives?"

Of course, it was inappropriate for Song Ruyue to complain in her heart, but since these regulations have come out, it means that the Queen has approved it. How could she dare to be stupid? After hearing this, she quickly said: "No, of course not! Your Majesty also said that only for the country

Only men who have made great contributions and made great achievements have the right to have two wives. That is what they deserve based on their own abilities! The women think that your Majesty's regulations are very good and very suitable!"

Nangong Huoyue had a smile on her face, looked at Miss Qin Er, and said, "What do Miss Qin Er think?"

Qin Weimo lowered her head, looked at the book in her hand, frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment. Fang raised his head, looked at her and said, "Your Majesty, can you add another head wife?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue on the side immediately pulled her sleeves from below and scolded in a low voice: "Wei Mo, what are you talking nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

Nangong Huoyue's eyes moved, and he sighed and said: "We definitely can't add more. Miss Qin Er doesn't know something. I have already expended a lot of effort to add one more. I have argued with those ministers many times, and again

They made a lot of concessions to other regulations, and finally they reluctantly agreed. With two legal wives, it’s already the limit, and there’s really nothing I can do.”

Miss Qin Er lowered her head and said nothing.

Nangong Huoyue's eyes flashed, and she looked at her with a half-smile but said, "Why, Miss Qin Er wants to marry more wives for her husband?"

Song Ruyue's expression on the side suddenly changed, and she immediately said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, don't listen to my daughter's nonsense, she just said it casually, Your Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to her."

Miss Qin Er suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, then...can the rules for men divorcing their wives be modified to be simpler and not so harsh?"

Nangong Huoyue was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and said, "How does Miss Qin want to modify it?"

Miss Qin Er lowered her head, looked at the book in her hand, was silent for a moment, and whispered: "You can divorce your wife if she is unfaithful and unfilial, and wait for some regulations to be revised, plus... if the wife is infertile, she cannot give birth to a man.

Descendants, please rest..."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked into her eyes and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Nangong Huoyue was also stunned for a moment, looking at her with complicated eyes.

Song Ruyue on the side suddenly changed her expression and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Mo, what did you say? Mother forbids you to say anything!"

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, looked at her and said: "Second Miss Qin, this regulation cannot be modified."

Second Miss Qin's lips moved slightly, as if she still wanted to speak. Luo Qingzhou held her hand under the table and said, "Weimo, stop talking."

Nangong Huoyue glanced at him, put down the book in his hand, and said: "That's it, let's try it out for a while. If there are other problems, I will discuss it with the minister again."

Then he picked up the wine glass and said: "Okay, let's eat. Sir, I'd like to toast you a glass first. I hope you have a harmonious family and grow old together with your wife. Miss Qin Er is very good, and I hope you can treat her well."

Luo Qingzhou picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two looked at each other, raised their heads, and drank.

Lunch took about half an hour.

During this period, Nangong Huoyue talked about some border matters.

King Tai still hasn't been caught, and there is news that he may have colluded with the demon clan.

As for other places in Dayan, they have settled down.

The princes who raised troops to attack the King of Thailand and the rebels of the seven countries were frightened when they saw that the imperial army had ended the battle like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. They did not dare to have any second thoughts and immediately went back to their hometowns to stay in their respective countries.

Went on.

As for the promises the Queen had made to them, they were all fulfilled one by one.

The feudal kingdoms of the King of Thailand and the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms were divided up.

However, some smart princes declined these generous rewards and only asked for some symbolic military expenses and other rewards.

Because they know that the ambition of the Great Yan Queen is far beyond that.

If it wants to completely put an end to rebellion in the princely states and thoroughly govern the country, the imperial court will definitely centralize power, and when the time comes, it will definitely find ways to attack them.

Regardless of what the Queen is calling their uncles now, when the world stabilizes, the knife will be hanging over their heads.

Unless they pose no threat to the court.

If the country is too big, has too many troops, and forms cliques, it will definitely be dealt with by the court.

With tens of thousands of troops, the Queen defeated the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms and the King of Thailand's army. It would be easy to deal with them when the time came.

Therefore, it is better to stick to your one-third of an acre of land and keep a low profile.

After finishing lunch, Luo Qingzhou and his party said goodbye and left.

Sister Nangong Meijiao did not leave with them, but went to the harem to accompany the princess.

Aunt Mu drove a carriage and returned to the Qin Mansion with Luo Qingzhou, Second Miss Qin, Song Ruyue and Qiu'er.

The atmosphere was depressing along the way, and no one spoke.

After returning to the mansion, Luo Qingzhou left first.

Song Ruyue pulled Miss Qin back to the backyard and talked for a long time.
