Chapter 2
After Fan Chunren came to court, Fan Zheng just took the opportunity to sort out the memories of his two lifetimes. He was a medical student in his later life. Now that he traveled to the Song Dynasty, he found himself in an awkward position.

He now has the most advanced medical concepts, but they are useless, because most of his medical skills in later generations rely on instruments.

"Where is my ECG? Where is my B-ultrasound? Where is my CT?"

Fan Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed. Finally, he could only resign himself to his fate and look at the thick ancient medical books in his hands. However, he found that the ancients did not have these advanced instruments, but they could match the advanced instruments of the later generations based on experience. It is simply inconceivable.

What's more, he found many long-lost medical books in the study of his predecessor. The medical skills in them are even more unimaginable, but they are the same as those of later generations.

Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he could combine the medical skills of the two generations to achieve some achievements in Song Dynasty, which can be regarded as fulfilling his predecessor's wish to become a famous doctor.

"Brother Fan, it's not good!" Suddenly a young man rushed into Fan's residence and shouted anxiously.

"Brother!" Fan Zheng looked at the person coming!The other party's information could not help but emerge, Su Shi's fourth son, Su Dun, nicknamed Gan'er.

Fan Zheng didn't expect that his time travel would produce a butterfly effect. Su Dun, who was supposed to die at the age of two, survived miraculously. However, he was weak and sick since he was a child. In order to let him grow up healthy, Su Shi asked him to study medicine at the Imperial Medical Bureau. Classmates, the relationship between the two is extremely good.

Su Dun couldn't help but turn dark, and said, "Just call me Brother Su!"

"Okay, buddy!"

Su Dun was helpless for a moment, and he didn't bother to correct him, who said that when he was critically ill, his father and uncle wrote poems for him, and his name as a godfather might have been passed down for thousands of years.

"Brother Fan, what happened to you has happened. The Imperial Medical Bureau has rumored that your medical registration will be revoked." Su Dun blurted out the news he had received.

"Oh! Really?" Fan Zheng said indifferently.

"Brother Fan is about to be dismissed as a doctor, why is there no reaction at all?" Su Dun asked in surprise, he wanted to see Fan Zheng lose his composure.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "What reason does the Imperial Medical Bureau use to expel me from medical registration?"

"Naturally, you prescribe a prescription for a couple to reconcile? Now there is an uproar all over the city. An imperial physician from the imperial medical bureau proposed to expel you from medical registration, but was finally rejected by the imperial physician Cheng Qian Yi, and the last annual examination was invalidated. Three days later Re-examination." Su Dun looked at Fan Zhengdao with strange eyes.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "So what if there is an uproar all over the city. When did doctors rely on public opinion to prescribe a prescription, and if the Imperial Medical Bureau wants to expel Fan with this reason, then it has to prove that Fan's prescription is wrong."

Su Dun looked at Fan Zheng in surprise and said, "Then how can brother Fan prove that his prescription is correct?"

Fan Zhengzheng asked: "Could it be that brother Gan also thinks that Fan's prescription is wrong?"

Su Dunqi Ai Ai said: "My younger brother naturally believes in Brother Fan. It is out of good intentions that Brother Fan wanted the couple to get married and have children, but as far as I know, being close to each other is not infertile."

Fan Zheng continued to ask: "Then are all their children healthy?"

"Then...!" Su Dun's face suddenly changed, thinking of the rumors he had heard, he looked at Fan Zheng in shock.

"Could it be......" Su Dun asked with a stiff face.

Fan Zheng nodded, picked up stacks of data in his hand, handed them to Su Dun, and said, "The reason why Fan made a prescription for him to reconcile is not that he can't have children, but that he can get closer and closer. This is what the Fan family has been doing these days." There is only one sentence to summarize the birth status of the relatives and relatives in Kaifeng City, "if you are a relative, you will not be born."

"Hiss!" Su Dun gasped as he looked at the shocking numbers.

He originally thought it was just a prescription, but he didn't expect that there would be such painful consequences behind the seemingly beautiful kiss.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "This morning, my father has brought these cases of pro-marriage to the court and asked the court to prohibit pro-marriage. There must be an uproar in the court now!"

In the vertical arch hall!

"I would like to report to the Empress Dowager that during the annual examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Fan Zheng, the imperial physician, actually advised people to reconcile and leave. Now Kaifeng city is full of uproar, and people are full of voices, and they all condemn this as a way of quack doctors. My servant, please strictly investigate the recommendation of the imperial physician. system, so as not to let quack doctors run rampant and harm the lives of the people all over the world." Inside the main hall, Yu Shi Zhao Tingzhi was making a speech, angrily denouncing Fan Zheng's absurd act.

Both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked strangely at Fan Chunli, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Fan Chunren, the Prime Minister. The Fan family had been in power for many years and had made many enemies.

Fan Chunren frowned. He had heard about it a long time ago, and he had sent a letter to his third brother, but he didn't get the slightest response.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Fan Zheng is indeed the third younger brother. He loves medicine very much, and he did not hesitate to give up his favor to study medicine in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Now he is prescribing the first prescription in the medical school. There must be something hidden!" Fan Chunren argued.

Empress Dowager Gao, the empress dowager sitting at the head, nodded slightly, turned to look at Fan Chunli and said, "What excuse does Fan Aiqing have?"

Fan Chunli shook his head, stepped forward and said, "I report to the Empress Dowager, this recipe is indeed opened by Gouzi, and I have already questioned Gouzi, and I think this recipe is not wrong!"

"There is no fallacy!" There was an uproar all over the court, no one thought that Fan Chunli would open his eyes and tell lies for his son's sake.

Immediately, the eyes of many political opponents brightened. They originally took the opportunity to suppress the next generation of the Fan family, but they did not expect that Fan Chunli would make such a childish mistake by speaking out in defense.

"The minister impeached Fan Chunli, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to hide from each other. In order to protect the child, he turned black and white, and disregarded right from wrong. How can he take up such an important position as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with such behavior." Zhao Tingzhi's spirit was lifted, like a shark smelling fish The smell generally pounced on it.

All of a sudden, many courtiers impeached Fan Chunli one after another.

Fan Chunren frowned when he heard this, and said: "Third brother, why are you so confused, the Fan family runs the family with sincerity, you just sit back and watch Zheng Er make mistakes, instead of correcting them, you even help the evildoers, you must have forgotten your father's teachings."

"It's because of my father's teachings that I will support Zheng'er despite the dissatisfaction of the world." Fan Chunli raised his brows when he heard this, turned around and cupped his hands at Empress Dowager Gao,
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the minister wrote a letter prohibiting the addition of relatives, abolishing the household marriage law and the same surname non-marriage regulation, and changing it to prohibit marriage between direct blood relatives and collateral three generations."

As soon as Fan Chunli finished speaking, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

"If you marry with the same surname, you won't be born in the same family. This is one of the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, and you openly question the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty!" Zhao Tingzhi pointed at Fan Chunli and angrily reprimanded.

The other courtiers also frowned. Weddings are a crucial part of the Zhou rituals. Not marrying with the same surname is a thousand-year-old law of the Zhou rituals. Now it is openly questioned. Suddenly, Fan Chunli became the focus of the court.

Fan Chunli happily said without fear: "The reason why the dog Fan Zheng prescribes a reconciliation prescription is because this couple is more intimate!"

"So what? It's a great thing to get married!" Many courtiers frowned.

Fan Chunli said sternly: "Zuo Zhuan: If you marry with the same surname, you will not be born as a child. It can be said that if you marry with the same surname, it is the blood of the patriline. If you count it according to the blood of the matriline? Isn't it the same as...!"

"incest!"

Immediately, the faces of the officials in the court changed. Although Fan Chunli did not say those two words, how could they fail to understand what Fan Chunli meant with their ingenuity.

"What nonsense!"

"It's simply rebelling against the scriptures. If you have the same surname and you don't get married, you won't be a native. It's a Zhou ritual that has been followed for thousands of years. You question the Confucian classics."

"Kissing each other is a tradition that has been going on through the ages, yet you are slandering it out of thin air."

………………

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were very enthusiastic, and their marriage methods were often combined with each other, and some officials even married each other. It is an indelible stain, how can these officials let it go.

The censor Zhao Tingzhi said loudly: "Since ancient times, men have been superior to women, and women are nothing more than men's vassals. How can matrilineal blood be considered an inheritance? It's a big joke."

Zhao Tingzhi was making an impassioned speech, when he suddenly felt that the eyes of the officials in the court were wrong, he woke up suddenly, and then remembered that the Empress Dowager Gao who was sitting in the highest position was also a woman, so he quickly retreated to the corner and kept silent.

Empress Dowager Gao looked embarrassed and said: "Fan Shilang, what you mean is that the patrilineal blood is the same as the matrilineal blood, which will cause her to be unborn."

"Not bad!"

Fan Chunli immediately reported the situation of the marriages that he investigated: "I randomly checked 140 cases of marriages in Kaifeng City, and [-] of the latter were excluded. There were [-] families with congenital diseases, disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and premature deaths. , less than half of normal families."

"hiss!"

Immediately, all the officials in the court took a breath, but such a terrifying probability made everyone shudder.

"It's impossible for me...there are many cases of kissing and kissing around me, but there is no problem in any case. How can this be explained?" Some officials also vowed.

Fan Chunli explained: "Some relatives are not true matrilineal blood. The relatives selected by the official are all marriages from Chinese cousins."

"Chinese table for marriage?"

Baiguan was stunned. The custom of the Song Dynasty called the children of the father's sisters (aunts) outer brothers and sisters, and called the children of the mother's brothers (uncles) and sisters (aunts) inner brothers and sisters.The outside is the outer, and the inner is the middle, so the outer brothers and sisters and the inner brothers and sisters are also called "middle cousins".Those who marry the children of aunts, uncles, and aunts are "middle cousin marriages".

There are many concubines whose natal families are also called cousin marriages, but they are not actually related by blood.

"It's nonsense. Patrilineal bloodlines have surnames that can be verified, but matrilineal bloodlines cannot be proven. If according to what the third brother said, even heterosexual marriages will also encounter bloodlines of the same lineage. Wouldn't the world have long since died of their own blood?" Fan Chunren To refute Fan Chunli on the surface, in fact, it is to give Fan Chunli a chance to refute.

Fan Chunli nodded and said: "So it is wrong to say that if you marry with the same surname, you will not be born in a family. It should be a marriage of the same blood, and you will not be born in a family. I suggest that you should be divided by blood. Direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are prohibited from intermarriage. For a cousin married, a hundred sticks will leave it."

"Fan Shilang's move is too selfish. Your son's doctor made people reconcile and divorce, but you actually let the world's cousins ​​get married and divorced. In order to justify your son's name, you are so cruel." Zhao Tingzhi scolded angrily.

"Beauty is a marriage, and it will cause endless harm!" Fan Chunli said happily and fearlessly.

However, Fan Chunli is not without supporters. Many officials who are not involved in the Chinese cousin marriage and officials who sympathize with the dangers of marriage between close relatives have supported Fan Chunli.

"No! This custom has been around for a long time, and it cannot be changed. Besides, there are countless first-cousin marriages in the Song Dynasty. If this move is carried out rashly, it may cause an uproar." Many courtiers dissuaded.

After all, there are a lot of things involved in getting married, and there are countless marriages in the Song Dynasty. It has been recognized as a beautiful marriage for thousands of years, but suddenly there is a reversal of the two poles, which has become a bad habit that will cause endless harm, directly subverting all. The three views of people.

All of a sudden, the court was arguing endlessly.
