Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two People from the Tang Dynasty Signed a Divorce Agreement

The whole thing was triggered by a marriage change. Solemnly explain that the freedom of marriage in the Tang Dynasty reached an unexpected level, and the two parties can agree to divorce. This is nothing new.There are data to prove that the Tang Dynasty was the era with the highest divorce rate in Chinese history.This not only does not mean that the world is getting worse, but also proves that people have an open and inclusive attitude.I have collected some "Wife Release Letters" (equivalent to the current "Divorce Agreement") of the Tang Dynasty, and now list one: Gai Wen's husband and wife are deeply affectionate, and the couple have a strong sense of meaning. They cherish the joy of being together, and think about the joy of being in the same prison.Husband and wife face each other, just like mandarin ducks, flying side by side, sitting together with beautiful faces, the beauty of two virtues, great affection, two bodies and one heart.The common bed is in the bedroom, and the coffin is under the grave when they die together. After three years of marriage, the husband and wife will live in peace.If there is resentment for three years, there will be hatred.I'm not at peace now, I think it's an enemy in a previous life.Resentment arises from resentment, jealousy increases as a descendant, fate fails, seeing this separation.Gathering two relatives, in order to say goodbye, all looking for books.After the separation, I chose a husband who is an important official and dual-job, and plays in front of the court, beautifully showing the state of harmony.If you are afraid of giving up, don't talk to each other, never leave forever, and give joyfully.After three years of clothing and food, I will offer you a soft instrument.

Long live my lady Fu! In Tang Dynasty marriages, once the woman leaves, the husband’s family will give money. Of course, the husband’s ancestral home and foundation will never be given to the woman (you can understand it if you think about it with your toes), but the general husband’s family will give it to the woman. A woman's food and clothing expenses for three years or more is an example in this "Letter to Release His Wife".It is common for women to remarry, and there are basically no obstacles.The marriage law of the Tang Dynasty is really enlightened. For this point, I specifically checked it out. "Tang Law · Household Marriage" says that children who have a substantive relationship without the consent of their parents (you know) are deemed to have established a marriage. Recognized by law, except for minors.

As mentioned above in the divorce by agreement in the Tang Dynasty, the husband's family themselves or find someone to write a "Letter to Release the Wife", and the family members and neighbors of both parties will testify in the presence of each other.Or the two often quarrel and are not suitable for living together; or they are out of tune and look at each other not pleasing to the eye; or one party disappoints the other, but the other party feels that this party has disappointed him even more, so they can negotiate a divorce.From then on, they lived independently, widowed and remarried or climbed to another high branch, married a delicate Mei Niang or a loli Yujie, and no one could hinder the other.

And in the Tang Dynasty, it was normal for a woman to have a few, a dozen or even dozens of lovers (they had to be able to afford it). Yan Tingzhi and his ex-wife belonged to this kind of divorce situation. Both of them are good people, but their temper is not right.They quarreled every day at home, obviously no one was wrong, but with Yan Tingzhi's stubborn temper and his wife's personality, the two would often use eagle claw skills as a gift of love, which caused Yan Tingzhi's face to always have slight claw injuries.After the divorce, the two were disconnected and maintained a good relationship.Since the daughter-in-law is also from a famous family, she remarried very well.

The next home is Wang Yuanyan, the governor of Weizhou. Yan Tingzhi always likes to complain for others, but this time it concerns his ex-wife.Therefore, Li Linfu fully seized this rare opportunity and wrote a letter of impeachment, which really disgusted Yan Ting. Li Longji asked about this, and Zhang Jiuling came out to explain, "That woman is Yan Tingzhi's freed wife (divorced wife), and they have no affair for a long time, it is only related to Wang Yuanyan's grievance!" Li Longji didn't believe it, "Even if you leave, you won't have an affair?" (Although divorce is selfish?)

Zhang Jiuling didn't expect Li Longji to say such malicious speculations, so he froze there.Li Longji suddenly put away his sneer, turned into anger, and ordered Pei Yaoqing, Zhang Jiuling, Yan Tingzhi and other people with bad intentions to be punished together, flattering cronies, influencing the government, and treacherous and misleading the country. What crime are they talking about.Li Longji took advantage of the situation and became a good man. Instead of punishing the sinner in his mind, he regarded Pei Yaoqing as the prime minister of the left and Zhang Jiuling as the prime minister of the right.

But his most important move was to let go of the political affairs of the two of them and officially remove them from the post of prime minister! A few days later, he took Niu Xianke as the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the third rank of Tongzhongshu's sect, and led Shuofang Jiedushi as before (this is a very stupid move, Niu Xianke became the prime minister and led Shuofang's soldiers and horses at the same time).As for Yan Tingzhi, who was demoted to the governor of Mingzhou, Wang Yuanyan was convicted and exiled to Lingnan. Li Longji looked at Li Linfu with admiration, and regarded him as concurrently the secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (for the time being, he will do it first).

Zhongshu Ling, brother, Li Linfu's image suddenly became taller. At the inauguration ceremony, Li Linfu was proud of himself. Seeing Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing, he asked loudly happily: "My left and right ministers, you can't do it anymore, haha!" He became extremely ferocious, his eyes were exposed, and he stared at Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing with gritted teeth.In this situation, the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty trembled.People know that Zhang and Pei were neglected, while Li Linfu was favored, calling it "one eagle holding two rabbits". On the second day, just before dawn, Li Linfu woke up early, came to the court hall, and first called the officials of the three provinces to gather for a meeting.

Li Linfu pointed to the horses of the guard of honor and gave an impassioned speech, "It's not easy. Now that the Ming Lord is in power, it's too late for all the officials to support him. Why don't we object! Everyone, we all have brains Look at these steeds! Take a closer look, is there any difference between him and us? They eat the salary of the third grade, enjoy it! But if anyone dares to shout, he will be kicked out of the team. It's too late to regret it then, do you understand?" "I think you should understand what I mean. Everyone who receives the salary from the Lord should be honest, and don't be like the people before, yelling and shouting and disturbing the order!"

Relying on this self-confidence, Li Linfu won the favor that Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing had never had before. He finished his speech happily and let them go away. It’s easy to implement this, just talking but not practicing. Li Linfu was overwhelmed with complacency, and a little Buque named Du Jin wrote a memorial to discuss the current political affairs of the country.It can be seen that this is a responsible person, so the next day, instead of waiting for Li Longji's reply, he waited for the approval document issued by Li Linfu, ordering Du Jin not to cause trouble, and cited all his crimes in one go. He was demoted to a local county magistrate.

Later, there were people who remonstrated, but they were all messed up by Li Linfu. So, someone asked Li Linfu: "What's the use of hard work?" Li Linfu told him very solemnly, "Efforts are very useful." By the time I knew it, it was already too late. In April of the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan (AD 737), Zhou Ziliang, the supervisory censor, was thrown down in the court hall and severely beaten. In fact, Zhou Ziliang didn't want to do such a job. At the beginning, he was studying at Jixiandian Academy, and every time he finished editing the manuscript, he had a lot of time to enjoy the fun of reading.He once said that during that period of time was really idle, but it was a lot of fun. He read the books he had read before and gained new understanding every time.Until one day, the article he wrote was discovered by a person, who was amazed, praised his integrity and recommended him as the supervisory censor. Since then, Zhou Ziliang's life has been changed. He supervised all officials and impeached illegal officials. He was always stern and selfless.Now that Li Longji appointed Li Linfu, Zhou Ziliang shut his mouth wisely.He chose not to confront Li Linfu directly, but to impeach Niu Xianke (because it was recommended by Li Linfu). Niu Xianke doesn't understand political affairs, he doesn't know anything, even though he is a good guy, it's useless, please Li Longji return him to the rank of general and don't stay in the prime minister. The Shangshu was placed in front of Li Longji, and Li Longji read it carefully, and was furious on the spot, calling Zhou Ziliang out, and asked the left and right to slap him in the hall.The guards were all warriors, and they slapped Zhou Ziliang until his mouth was bleeding, and he finally fainted on the ground. Li Longji waited for Zhou Ziliang to wake up for a while, and shouted angrily, "Niu Xianke is a good man!" Zhou Ziliang who had just woken up was weak but calm, "I know he is a good man, but I just said that he is not suitable to be a prime minister. If he is not suitable, he is not suitable." "Zhou Ziliang also hid the following paragraph, which is: "At least find someone who is capable, who can compete with that treacherous minister Li Linfu." Li Longji, who was still angry, was blown up again, making people Dragging Zhou Ziliang on the table, he watched the guards lashing out at him with his own eyes. The guards fought hard.Zhou Ziliang was already bloody and bloody, Li Longji saw that he was about to die, so he gave up.But Li Longji was not relieved. In order to punish this person who dared to despise the majesty of the emperor, he exiled Zhou Ziliang to Cangzhou (Shangsi, Guangxi).Zhou Ziliang, who dared to speak out, was seriously injured. He had just walked to Lantian (a county east of Chang'an) when he died due to excessive blood loss and unbearable pain. Li Linfu seemed very distressed, he only told Li Longji a shocking inside story, "If it wasn't for Zhang Jiuling's recommendation, Zhou Ziliang wouldn't be so bold!" Li Longji nodded, suddenly realized, and then, he hated Zhang Jiuling so much, Zhang Jiuling is so hateful, but he pretends to be a good person in the court! The next day, Zhang Jiuling was demoted as the governor of Jingzhou! I guess Li Linfu will have to celebrate tonight. A few days later, Li Longji called a group of ministers to a meeting, and still wanted to kill Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju.Li Linfu made a correct analysis. Since Li Longji called everyone for a meeting, he must want to deal with these children. If he wants to forgive them, there is absolutely no need for a meeting.Right now, it is important to discuss how to dispose of it, not whether to dispose of it. Li Linfu's analysis is quite correct, but after summarizing the whole matter, we can draw the following conclusion: This story is about Zhang Jiuling persuading Li Longji not to kill his son and Li Linfu persuading Li Longji to kill his own son. Li Longji did not believe Zhang Jiuling but believed The story of Li Linfu. In a word: an inspirational life story about a confused father killing his own son.
