Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Li Er was a little annoyed at the moment. He had already thought about the chaotic situation in the court tomorrow.

So he asked, "If this decree is issued, then there will be countless people who will divorce. Although women who have been married in recent years can remarry, they will inevitably be criticized by others."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "You are His Majesty, don't you have any way to stop the people from talking? You can just issue an imperial decree to allow those divorced women to remarry. Who would dare to say anything?"

Wei Zheng then asked: "But there are still many families with close relatives marrying each other. If so many couples divorce, won't it cause unrest in the court?" This is what he was worried about.

"General Li Junxian, among the 500 people you investigated today, how many places in Chang'an City did you investigate?" Zheng Zhengjin looked at Wei Zheng and smiled, then asked Li Junxian directly.

Li Junxian was standing guard, and from time to time he glanced at Xiaobai who was curled up on the stone lamp. Hearing Zheng Zhengjin's question, Li Junxian said, "For the five hundred couples who were married to close relatives today, I also investigated the middle and lower class people in Chang'an. I was not interested in the wealthy and noble families. In the end, there were still more than twenty couples missing, so I arranged for people to go to some villages outside Chang'an to investigate."

"Lord Wei, you must have an idea of ​​how many people there are in Chang'an City now. Putting five hundred couples in this vast sea of ​​people will hardly make any waves, and there are not many such couples in the entire Tang Dynasty. Of course, whether they can divorce or not depends on their willingness and they must not be forced. But the interests must be made clear. After all, this matter concerns their next generation." Zheng Zhengjin took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

"But the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats will definitely object. They all rely on marriage to maintain their relationships. In this case, won't the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats be in trouble?" Li Xiaogong also asked. Although he was also from the Longxi Li family, he knew that the current emperor was Li Er.

"Isn't this simple? The dangers of marriage between close relatives are announced, and then His Majesty orders that close relatives cannot marry, but does not say what the punishment will be if they break the law. The people of the world just want to have enough food and clothing. Once they know the dangers of marriage between close relatives, they will definitely obey it more than anyone else.

Moreover, the Five Surnames and Seven Families are truly aristocratic families. Can't they find a marriage partner outside of three generations? If they object, then His Majesty Li II will directly issue an order that the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families can only marry within three generations. Those aristocratic families will be pissed off. "Zheng Zhengjin's words were obviously a bit of a joke, but it must be said that this was also a good way to shut up those aristocratic families.

Li Er was a little speechless, and complained to Zheng Zhengjin in his heart: "You are being a rogue."

At this time, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I will take care of this kind of rogue thing." He had already made up his mind that if there were any noble families who opposed it during the morning court session tomorrow, then he would be the one to stand up and confront those people.

"I am willing to do so too," Li Daozon and Li Xiaogong said hurriedly.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said, "I say, old Taoist priest with a cow nose, you've almost done it. You can play rogue, but you can beat me, Old Cheng. I'm not bragging. When I was in Wagangzhai, I was a rogue. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a little bastard like Chumo."

Cheng Chumo stood silently behind Cheng Yaojin. He thought that his father was not only a scoundrel, but also a violent maniac.

Li Er laughed loudly, "In that case, thank you for your hard work."

Li Yuan thought to himself, "Erlang is such a bummer to be the emperor. Fortunately, I gave up the throne to him, otherwise he would have been wronged." He thought so, then patted Li Er on the shoulder and said, "Erlang, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"For the livelihood of the people, this is nothing." Li Er looked at Li Yuan and replied with a slight smile.

At this time, the kitchen maid, Xiao Tao, came running over, her face flushed, and said, "Master, distinguished guests, the meal has been prepared, please move to the dining room."

Zheng Zhengjin stood up with a bright smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant together." Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up. He supported what Zheng Zhengjin said, there would be enough wine today, so let this wine lover have a good taste of what the fine wine is.

Empress Changsun also said gently to Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang who were still playing with Abao, "Lizhi, Yuzhang, stop playing and eat."

Little Miss Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang slid down from Abao's back, giggled, then turned back and touched Abao's ear and said, "Abao, we'll come and play with you after dinner."

Po, however, still looked silly and cute.

And, the pair of innocent eyes with dark circles under them made the two little girls smile happily.

Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was spacious and clean, with two large tables set up.
There are two large dining tables in the restaurant.
The dishes on the table were all very exquisite in appearance. They were not delicacies from land and sea, but home-cooked dishes. However, no one had ever seen them except Zheng Zhengjin.

Almost all the men present drank alcohol.
Li Er, Li Daozon, Li Xiaogong, Li Yuan, Li Junxian, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and his son, plus Zheng Zhengjin and Li Er's personal eunuch.

At the ladies' table next to them, there was a box of Mengniu yogurt on each seat.

Empress Changsun, Li Leyan, Li Xueyan, Jinse, two little cuties, plus the mute guard of Empress Changsun, plus Caidie and Digua.

Zheng Zhengjin took out the wine jar.

Li Er saw that it was a wine jar, not a glass bottle of Wuliangye, and immediately asked, "Boy, where is your Wuliangye?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after we taste it."

At the beginning, he poured a full cup, which was at least half a catty. Li Er was very happy. He was a wine lover, and he would definitely not leave until he was drunk after this meal with everyone.

The moment the wine was poured into Li Er's bowl, Li Xiaogong opened his eyes wide and looked at the wine as clear as water in disbelief. If there was a strong aroma of wine, he would definitely mistake it for water.

Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo, father and son, almost had their eyes popped out of their heads. He murmured in his heart, "Is he really the god from heaven? Such wine is simply nectar."

Cheng Yaojin felt that he could drink several jars of wine. After all, the aroma of such fine wine was enough to make him hungry to death.

Li Junxian, Wang De, including Li Daozon and others had all seen such fine wine, so they could only be considered slightly surprised. After all, this kind of wine might be the best in the world, and only Zheng Zhengjin had it.

If such fine wine were sold outside, it would truly be a priceless treasure.
