Qiuyang jumped off the horse, grabbed her mother's hand in excitement, fell to the ground, and said with tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, I'll take you away."
Qiu Yusheng nodded with a choked voice, hugging his head and crying.
——
"Your Highness, everyone has surrendered. Is it time for you to ascend the throne and become emperor?"
In the meeting hall, Yang Yiyi said very boldly.
The people around had obviously heard it, but they didn't say a word.
Zhou Baoer nodded and said with a smile on his face.
"OK!"
The ministers looked at each other, but did not object at all. Since they came here, they have made corresponding preparations.
With the arrival of the new year, when Zhou Baoer was 25 years old, the capital changed hands and Zhou Baoer officially ascended the throne as emperor.
Women rule the world, so they are naturally attacked by many people. However, there was a female emperor in front of her, and there were so many regent queens, regent queens, regent princesses and the like, so not many people attacked.
Zhou Baoer breathed a sigh of relief and ignored these people. No matter what they do, they can't stop her from ruling the world.
The first thing he did when he took the throne was to amend the marriage bill. There are many female officials in the court, and the emperor is a woman. The previous marriage laws must be abolished to give the people a new future.
Yang Yiyi took office as Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was in charge of household registration and finance. She jumped out immediately and expressed her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I think the time for men and women to get married needs to be revised. Men and women cannot get married before a certain age."
Zhou Baoer asked with a slight smile.
"If Yang Aiqing has any ideas, please tell us quickly."
Yang Yiyi coughed slightly and said solemnly.
"I once conducted a survey and found that children born when men and women are too young are prone to die in infancy. This is not the key. Whether men and women perform the ritual of Zhou Gong too early, it will also damage the body. So I suggest that men and women should give birth to children before they are 22 years old. , they are not allowed to get married and have children.”
As soon as this was said, a large number of people came out to oppose it.
The war has just ended, when everything is waiting for improvement, and population is crucial.
Yang Yiyi raised her eyebrows and immediately retorted.
"Marry too early, have children too early, and the children born will not grow up, and even if they grow up, they will get sick easily. Moreover, parents' bodies are also damaged, and they may not live to the end of their lives. Think about it, in a situation like this Under these circumstances, is it useful to get married earlier and have children earlier?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else came out to refute.
Yang Yiyi is not someone to be trifled with, and she has shown her ability to fight with other scholars. She comes from modern times and has read countless information. Can she still be unable to defeat the ancients
Those who traveled through time in the past had no ability to change the marriage laws. She spent her whole life fighting to give the world a healthy marriage and countless healthy children.
Zhou Baoer squinted his eyes and listened to the argument below, and finally agreed with Yang Yiyi. Those who have been married before do not need to worry about it. From now on, men and women cannot get married and have children under the age of 22.
A smile appeared on Yang Yiyi's lips, she was extremely impressed by the empress she had chosen, and then she spoke.
"Your Majesty, in order to prevent someone from acting erroneously, for example, some ministers marrying wives and daughters immediately after returning home, we should make some guarantees."
Zhou Baoer nodded and said.
"Yang Aiqing, tell me what you have to say."
Yang Yiyi looked around with pride and continued.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this? If someone marries his son or daughter so early, let all the elders above that son or daughter make the decision. And in full view of the public, no one will cheat. . If he is an orphan and his parents have passed away, then the people with the closest blood relationship should be blamed."
A group of people dared not speak out in anger, thinking that such an approach was too vicious. Not to mention whether you can survive after playing the game, it is very embarrassing to play the game in front of everyone, okay
Zhou Baoer looked at the ugly faces of a group of people, suddenly laughed out loud and said.
"Yang Aiqing, I think your idea is a good one, so I decided like this."
Hearing such words, Yang Yiyi smiled happily and continued talking as always.
"Your Majesty, I think there are still some things that need to be dealt with. For example, the age at which one must get married must be abolished. According to my opinion, not everyone is willing to get married. In other words, when two people are not in love, When I am in love with someone I don't like, I don't want to get married at all. For example, I would rather die if I were asked to marry someone I don't like."
After Zhou Baoer pondered for a moment, he nodded calmly and said with a smile.
"What Yang Aiqing said makes sense, and I think so too."
Yang Yiyi was quite satisfied. Fortunately, the person sitting on it was an empress. Otherwise, think about it, the person sitting on it is a male emperor. He only agreed to this kind of thing after eating too much and having nothing to do. Just look at the history books and you will know that no one would do this.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I believe that not only men and women can get married, but men and men, women and women, or humans and an object can get married."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.
"Yang Yiyi, what are you talking about?"
Yang Yiyi sneered, and once again took advantage of her sharp teeth and sharp tongue to fight with the scholars.
"If you take a look at the history books, there are many things recorded in history such as cutting off sleeves or grinding mirrors. Some people are born not to like the opposite sex, or they don't like human beings. It's useless for you to force them. It's better to do this. fulfill their wishes."
All the ministers were trembling with anger. After all, they had never told Yang Yiyi, so they had no choice but to acquiesce.
Zhou Baoer asked with a chuckle, looking at everyone.
"Yang Aiqing, are you finished?"
Yang Yiyi was stunned for a moment and nodded gently.
Cui Niang suddenly stepped forward and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Zhou Baoer looked over, nodded, and said, "Ai Qing, please speak."
Cui Niang took a deep breath and said with a bang.
"Your Majesty, I think there should be no such thing as marriage. I think it is good for daughters to follow their mothers and sons to follow their fathers."
"Nonsense!"
"Extremely shameless!"
"Shameless!"
…
In an instant, a group of people yelled, even more harshly than Yang Yiyi.
Cui Niang was unmoved. She had already heard everything she should have heard back then. Now these words are just childish.
"Your Majesty, marriage is of no use at all. It would be better not to have it at all. Look at the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty. Except for some decent gentlemen, no one has ever touched a woman other than his wife. In this case, it is better to have no marriage from the beginning. , lest it benefit men and imprison women.”
Zhou Baoer smiled and said: "That makes sense, it's exactly what I want to say. I have long been dissatisfied with the rule of three wives and four concubines, and I feel angry when I hear it. Since most men can't control their lower bodies, then Just don’t want such a thing as marriage.”
A group of ministers were shocked and quickly stopped him.
Zhou Baoer continued: "I know what everyone wants to say, and I have decided to do it. However, although there is no such thing as marriage, men teasing women, women teasing men, men teasing men, and women teasing women are all guilty. I hope Everyone, please keep these words in your heart and don’t think I’m joking.”
When Yang Yiyi heard this, she asked aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, did I say all that I just said in vain?"
Zhou Baoer said soothingly, "Yang Aiqing, I think you misunderstood. I think that no matter whether a man or a woman is 22 years old, they are not allowed to perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou with anyone, otherwise their relatives will all be punished. The reason is either poor care or lax teaching. .”
After hearing this, Yang Yiyi nodded with satisfaction. If there is a stipulated age and so on, there will probably be no such thing as underage giving birth to a child, which makes people speechless. If it does happen, punish him hard and never be lenient.
Someone asked cautiously, what about inheritance rights
Zhou Baoer curled his lips and said with a look of disgust.
"What else can we do? A daughter lives with her mother and inherits everything from her mother. A son lives with his father and inherits everything from his father. In fact, it is not the same as now. The son can get all the family property, and the daughter can only inherit the mother's dowry. "
As soon as this sentence came out, no one spoke. It felt so sharp, and it didn't matter.
Someone else asked, what if you don’t have children
Zhou Baoer replied: "That's not easy, adoptive. However, the adopted children are given priority to those who are closely related to the mother. For example, if a mother has no daughter, she can adopt the daughter of her brothers and sisters, but she can never adopt the daughter of her son's father, brothers and sisters. daughter."
Everyone understood and understood that the adopted child must be related to me by blood. This makes some people, especially women, particularly satisfied and feel that their spirits have suddenly calmed down.
Why should the adoption be from the husband's family, and why should the child be raised by another woman? If you really don't have children, it would be best if you have children who are biologically related to you.
Suddenly another person stood up and asked a question that could not be ignored.
"Your Majesty, can a woman raise a child alone?"
Zhou Baoer asked back: "As the woman's parents, shouldn't the woman's brothers and sisters help the woman? And, as the father of the woman's child, shouldn't the father occasionally help a group of women who have children with him?"
The man asked again: "Your Majesty, what if those people are not willing to help?"
Zhou Baoer sneered and said ruthlessly.
"I just want to force all women to stand up and stop being the vassals of men. Why can't others do what I can do? If you can't even feed your children, you might as well just die and keep your children. Give it to us to raise.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. They can completely foresee that in the near future, countless people will want to hang themselves.
But will Zhou Baoer take care of it
