One thousand one hundred and fifty-nine, the miracle of the scholars did not happen after all
Actually, this is really difficult to deal with.
If you say that it is not illegal, these people have indeed taken advantage of loopholes in national policies and are suspected of deceiving them.
If you want to say that it is illegal, these people are not deliberately seeking to break the law, and they do so when they are desperate.
Moreover, there have been many such situations in the local area for a while. Dozens of such families can appear in a county, and they don’t know how to fine the fines, and they don’t know how to get the money back, which makes the county government in a mess and they don’t know how to explain to the Ministry of Finance.
Faced with the generality of this situation, Guo Peng had a headache after learning about it. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Huanglong Palace Conference and decided to partially revise Emperor Xuan of Han's policies.
He has to establish a hierarchy system, and only those with certain status and status can get married can have a grand ceremony. This status is determined based on the amount of land in the family and whether someone is an official in the court.
Only in this way can people with status and status have a big feast and a big wedding.
People at the bottom of the country are not allowed to hold weddings, and the scale of wedding banquets and the number of participants are restricted. The village and township governments strictly supervise them. Once they exceed, they will be beaten and go to jail.
The grand ceremony cannot be stopped or restricted, otherwise there will be people who will complain.
Moreover, times have changed. The current tyrants are not the local rich men who made their fortunes in the Western Han Dynasty. The current tyrants are all big tyrants with rich family foundations accumulated by generations, and they will not lose their families just because of a wedding.
But this wedding custom should not be changed.
Let officials, powerful families with strong families spend a lot of money, and relevant practitioners in the region can make a fortune. In a sense, it is also considered a state-led robbery of the rich to help the poor.
There are always foods to eat, drinks, decorations and various utensils for weddings, and they spend a lot of money.
This money must be spent outside and is difficult to digest internally. Once this money flows, it can create economic value.
Establish a hierarchy to satisfy their vanity and lofty mentality. At that time, they may have to increase their expenses to demonstrate their status.
Moreover, if someone completes a counterattack in life in the future and can have a big feast, he will definitely be more willing to spend a lot of money to hold a wedding to show his status.
There are not many things that can make such people willing to spend a lot of money, and getting married is one of them.
Just like when Mr. Guo got married to Cao Lan, the money spent by the old Cao family could buy three of the Guo family businesses of that year.
Therefore, regarding the customs of holding weddings, Guo Peng imitated the imperial edict issued by Emperor Xuan of Han and reported it to the whole country.
Only those with status can have a grand ceremony. Ordinary people can celebrate with a small celebration. They are controlled within the standard scope and are not allowed to violate national laws. If any offense is violated, they will be severely punished and not loaned.
Those with status must also make detailed regulations based on social status and official positions, and what level they can hold a wedding, etc.
This order was promulgated against the background of the Huanglong Palace Conference. It was really unattracted and was directly promulgated and spread across the country.
In addition, Guo Peng also redefined the days for New Year holidays and officials to take a break.
For example, considering the hard work of officials, they changed the ten-day break to seven-day break.
The New Year Festival changes five days to six days.
The rest of several traditional festivals has been changed from one day to three days.
The increase in some rest days can also be considered as an explanation for the reduction of the burden on officials, and they did not cause them to die of overwork.
Then we focused on discussing the rules for people to take concubines.
Monogamy is naturally an iron rule that cannot be changed, and Guo Peng has also re-stated the system of concubines.
In this era, the lower class of civil servants did not have the qualifications to take concubines. Those who can take concubines are either state officials or scholars. Even ordinary landlords and powerful people cannot take concubines. Guo Peng proposed that this standard should be appropriately relaxed for the sake of inheriting the family line.
Therefore, he stipulated that even if the common people do not have an official position, if they have no son at the age of forty, they can take a concubine to pass on the family line.
Provisions must also be made within the ruling class.
For example, an ordinary official can only have one concubine. No matter how high the official position is, even if it is a Shangshu Order or a Staff Order, he can only have three concubines at most.
Duke, Marquis, Bozinan has five major levels. Each level of title can be increased by one concubine, and the highest-level duke can have eight concubines.
Further up are the king's title and the emperor.
Guo Peng added the provision that the royal title can only have eight concubines at most, and the only one that is unrestricted is the emperor himself.
This regulation is not retrospective. Those who take concubines incorrectly before the promulgation of the government order will not be investigated. Those who take concubines in excess after the promulgation of the promulgation of the consort will be punished with serious disrespect.
This rule continued the Han Dynasty's rule that "successfully received a title and had to prepare eight concubines" and basically did not exceed people's ideas.
That is, the emperor delegated the qualification to take concubines to the group of the lower-class civilians, which made some people feel dissatisfied.
However, under the general environment, this issue is not qualified to be debated.
So Guo Peng issued another decree and promulgated this rule.
Taking this opportunity, Guo Peng also stipulated that for example, tables, chairs, and benches should not be regarded as objects used by the Hu people, but were invented and manufactured by the emperor himself. Pure creations of the Han people should be recognized and should not be discriminated against.
It was then stipulated that the children of officials and nobles should enter the Imperial Academy to receive collective education, as well as the content of collective education, including sex education, etc.
On other issues, Guo Peng did not challenge or change the Baihu Tong Conferencing System formed after the Baihu Viewing Conference.
He left time to those who were struggling dyingly and let them make their final struggle.
He doesn't care anyway.
At present, the debate results on the core issues of the Huanglong Palace Conference have been placed in front of Guo Peng's table by Cai Yong.
Only if Guo Peng makes a decision can he decide which five of the fourteen legal schools will be preserved and which nine will be dismissed.
According to the current debate, the five schools selected by Guo Peng are not that strong in combat. Only the Kong family and the Huan family have the upper hand, while the other three are at a disadvantage. If you want to debate, it is impossible to debate the rest of the family rules.
It seems that they are doing everything they can to survive.
In the big square outside the palace, for their own interests, the scholars had already staged all martial arts. They fought more than ten times in a group fight, but more than a hundred people were arrested and they still did not stop.
The core interests are passive, and they are panicked, and they try to put pressure on the emperor to force the emperor to follow the [correct] path to safeguard their interests.
But is His Majesty the Emperor a person who will easily admit defeat?
"Father, it seems that the five family laws chosen by my father do not have the upper hand. If my father forcibly designate these five family laws to win, it may cause large-scale protests, trigger division among scholars, and also cause turmoil in the court."
Guo Jin looked at the debate results compiled by Cai Yong, and expressed his views to Guo Peng, who looked calm.
Guo Peng smiled.
"Did the division of scholars and the turmoil in the court just began today?"
"no."
Guo Jin shook his head.
"That's all right? Some people can still do things, some people are still dealing with government affairs, and the army is not in chaos yet, so what are you afraid of?"
"The son is not afraid, he is just worried that they will slander his father."
Guo Jin frowned: "These people have always been brave, and I don't know how they would slander their father if they were angry, and there were even more... If they were in a hurry, they might even gather to rebel!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder and couldn't help laughing.
"A Jin, if they really gathered to rebel, I would be really grateful. I made my posture so clear. They have not rebelled yet, and they still have to argue and argue in the Huanglong Palace. What does this mean? It means they dare not rebel."
Guo Peng pointed at the army outside Luoyang.
"The army is the greatest confidence I dare to do this. The elite soldiers and generals who win every battle, A Jin, elite soldiers and generals who win every battle, do they dare to rebel? It saves me a lot of trouble. I destroyed them openly, and no one can say anything. Why bother to the Yellow Dragon Palace now?"
Guo Jin understood what Guo Peng meant.
"What the father meant was that they were just pretending to cover up the weakness and fear inside?"
"Dogs that can bite people don't bark. They bark so happily, they can only say that they dare not bite people."
Guo Peng sneered and said, "They dare not bite me, but I dare to eat them. A Jin, look at it and see how I deal with them."
On March 28, the Huanglong Palace Conference was officially concluded on March 28, 2018, and Emperor Guo Peng visited Huanglong Palace and announced the results of the decisions on some of the previous discussions that did not concern the core issues.
Marriage, education, tables, chairs, benches, officials take leave, and other regulations.
These regulations are not painful or itchy, and do not care about the overall situation. They have no meaning to the overall situation, so everyone is waiting for the most critical core issues.
Who can stay, who can’t stay.
Some people have a clear mind, while others are still holding the fantasy of nothingness and feel that they have the upper hand, the emperor may compromise.
There are countless people waiting for news inside and outside the Huanglong Palace, and almost everyone is waiting for these crucial news.
Which five schools can become orthodox saints that will remain forever?
Are they those five?
Or did the emperor choose to compromise if he couldn't stand the heavy pressure?
Will a miracle happen?
The miracle of scholars did not happen after all.
The five family rules that can be preserved are.
"Yan Gongyang Chunqiu" passed down by the Xun family in Yingchuan.
"Mao Shi" passed down by the Confucius family in Lu County.
"Ouyang Shangshu" passed down by Long Kanghuan family.
"The Zhou Guan Li" passed down by the Jia family in Pingling, Fufeng.
