Qiming 1158

Chapter 1069 This marriage is a beautiful thing
"Abandoning the wives of scum after a great career is accomplished. Even people of the old times look down on such a person. There are many words to ridicule. For us, not only look down, but also resolutely prevent such a thing from happening!"

After learning about this, Su Yonglin said angrily to Xin Qiji: "Following me for so long, going through so many trials and life-and-death battles, but in the end, I lost to my lower body and did such a shameful thing?"

Xin Qiji had a different opinion on the matter, so after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth.

"The reason why this matter has reached this point is that they care about your opinion."

"I?"

Su Yonglin was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicable: "Because of me?"

"Because you have only one queen and no other concubines."

When Xin Qiji said this, Su Yonglin suddenly realized.

"So, they dare not take concubines?"

"Correct."

Xin Qiji said slowly: "In recent years, I have inspected the army, went to the grassroots level to chat with officers and soldiers, and heard more than once that someone was discussing this matter in private, saying that although you did not explicitly prohibit the concubinage system, you yourself only have one queen.

You have no concubines, no other concubines, and you set an example, so obviously you don't want others to do this. It doesn't matter to the people, but officials and officers are all under your command, and your words and deeds will affect them.

They are worried that you will not like officials or officers who have multiple concubines. Although it is not forbidden, they will secretly suppress the future of such people. Many people are afraid of taking concubines out of this concern. "

After Su Yonglin heard this, he sneered.

"Because I didn't dare to take a concubine, but I disliked the wife of the scumbag, and felt that the wife of the scumbag was not worthy of me, so I chose to divorce my wife and marry a young and beautiful wife. Isn't this a typical policy with countermeasures?
Since they can do this now, should they wait for the young and beautiful wife to get old, and then divorce their wife and continue to marry a young and beautiful wife?They just want to be young and pretty anyway, right? "

Hearing the serious dissatisfaction in Su Yonglin's words, Xin Qiji wanted to say something.

"Food, color, and nature are also human nature. Although this dynasty did not use Confucianism as an official school, there are some truths. These sages of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States still saw it very clearly."

Xin Qiji said in a low voice: "The act of abandoning the wife of a scumbag is shameful, but at the root, it does not violate the current law. The current law does not require them not to accept concubines, and many officials and military officers are concerned because of scruples. You don't dare to take a concubine because of your opinion, in fact, you have been quite restrained."

"Quite restrained..."

Su Yonglin said coldly: "I took them to turn over and make decisions, so that they can make decisions for themselves, not for them to be the masters of others!
Because of his own selfish desires, he divorced his wife who was not wrong, and then married another wife. It can be seen that his ideology and morality have declined, and he is no longer worthy of being a revival member!

If we can't correct and kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, such things will continue to occur in the future. This is just a small gap, but as the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by the ant's nest. The ant nest is definitely not to be taken lightly. "

Xin Qiji felt that the situation was a little serious, so he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It is true that he did not violate the law. However, within the Revival Society, we have regulations. The marriage and marriage of the Revival members must be reported to the General Affairs Department for the record. Has he filed the record? Yet?"

"I don't know about this. I have to ask the General Affairs Department."

Xin Qiji asked: "Do I need to ask someone from the General Affairs Department now?"

"of course."

Su Yonglin nodded, so Xin Qiji immediately went to handle the matter, and found Tao Yongguang, the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the General Affairs Department, who was in charge of this business.

After the establishment of the Revival Society, Su Yonglin decided that members' marriages and marriages must be reported to the organization and approved. Those who have already married should also be reported to the organization for recordation, so as to strictly investigate the personal life and style of the members.

Those who can't control themselves on the issue of men and women are also difficult to control themselves on other issues, so Su Yonglin has always been more concerned about this aspect.

Some of the renaissance members who fell during the Great Purge just couldn't control themselves on the issue of men and women, and they fell deeper and deeper. Su Yonglin was very vigilant about this.

It's just that such a thing has never been put in front of Su Yonglin before, so that he once thought that the status quo had satisfied many people, but he did not consider that he had not abolished the concubine system.

Obviously, this kind of vigilance is not meaningless. During the process of Su Yonglin asking Tao Yongguang, he discovered the problem.

That is to say, the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of General Affairs did not play a role of supervision and vigilance on this issue.

The Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of General Affairs has only become a simple record-keeping department. If someone comes to report, they will record it, and if someone submits a marriage application, they will allow it without looking at it.

Of course, according to the traditional view - this marriage is more than a beautiful thing.

Su Yonglin looked at the marriage application reports of nearly [-] Fuxing members who served as middle and senior officers and senior officials during the period from the second half of the third year of Hongwu to the fifth year of Hongwu, and felt that he couldn't control his anger.

There is not even a single review document. If you apply here, you will immediately approve it there, and you will send congratulatory gifts to celebrate them.

Is that what the Home Office does?

Although the situation here may not be the same as that of Sun Jingwei, Su Yonglin was still very angry.

"I remember that there are regulations on the work requirements of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of General Affairs in the constitution of the Renaissance Association, accepting reports, reviewing reports, allowing or refuting reports, filing reports, what have you done? Review? I ask you to review?"

Su Yonglin flicked his hand and threw the record in front of Tao Yongguang, so that Tao Yongguang's face was pale.

"Chairman, this... this marriage is a happy event. Everyone wants to get married and have children and increase the population. This... This is certainly something that should be congratulated, right?"

"Should? So it's okay to divorce your old wife and marry a new wife? Have you read the constitution of the Revival Association?"

Su Yonglin suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Of course it's normal to marry, but is divorce normal? The old bureaucrats knew that divorce requires conditions, and that only if the wife commits seven mistakes in order to divorce her in an upright manner, otherwise Inappropriate name!

What about us?There is no problem, just take a break?I thought that our Ming Kingdom was more concerned with such things than the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that we are even worse than them in this aspect? "

Tao Yongguang swallowed and looked at Su Yonglin with horror.

"Lord... The chairman said that in this area of ​​work, I...we neglected..."

Because he was too nervous, he kept wiping the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, trying to hide his nervousness.

But he doesn't hide himself at all.

Su Yonglin's anger could not be contained.

"If it's just filing, what's the use of you? If we are not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty, what is the purpose of my establishment of the Ming Dynasty? You have done a very good job, very good, and successfully made our moral level even worse than that of the old bureaucrats and officials, okay? !well done!"

With a roar, Su Yonglin slammed the table with a fist, and immediately ordered to convene a central meeting of the Revival Council to seriously discuss and deal with this issue.
