Needless to say, the livestream viewers were cheering for Yang Si so much that they owed him money.
Her Highness Xia Li: "Are you in a hurry? Xiao Rong looks especially manly today. Even his beard can't hide his charm!"
Li Jiamochou: Yes, a thief! His aura was also strong, second only to his lord's height of 2.8 meters.
Hanyan Ningmeng: "I'm going to climb the wall. I used to like Rong Er, but I've fallen in love with her today!"
They said that today's scene was the most manly Yang Si had appeared on stage in many years.
At the same time, there were many in the audience who didn't think so.
As far as they knew, there were many men in ancient times who had wives and concubines. What kind of restrictions were there?
Those in power were all men. Of course, men would protect men. It was impossible for them to make such rules.
Wen Yuji: "I remember there's a saying that goes, 'Farmers who collect three to five buckets of grain still want to have concubines'. Concubines weren't so strict in ancient times, right?
Toudu Feiqiu: "The mortality rate in ancient times was so high, and the survival rate of female babies was much lower than that of male babies. How could it be that easy to take a concubine?" The concubinage system had always been the privilege of a small number of people with high positions of power. Ordinary people only had the right to do so in the Yuan Dynasty. However, it was not without restrictions. Only those who were over 40 years old and had no children could have a concubinage. If this condition was not met, the person who had a concubinage without permission would be whipped 40 times.
In ancient times, the ratio of men to women was not balanced. Sometimes, women were even allowed to share wives or pawn wives, completely commercializing and turning women into resources.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to allow a commoner to take a concubine without any restrictions?
Female resources would be crazily collected by those with high positions of power, and the number of bachelors who were unable to find a wife would increase exponentially.
In this way, all kinds of violence and crimes against women would rise steadily, which was not conducive to the stability of the feudal state.
It was necessary to set a threshold for concubines.
Although there was no guarantee that no one would commit a crime by doing so, the number of people taking concubines was indeed not as exaggerated as imagined.
Yang Si held the banner of etiquette in his hands, so he was naturally fearless.
Those who were attacked by him would be in a miserable state.
No matter how strong a person was, could he be stronger than a thousand years of accumulated etiquette?
Jiang Pengji frowned deeply and asked Yang Si, "Are the people you wrote real?"
"It's absolutely true. It's just that … "Yang Si said," For the sake of safety, please send someone to investigate and verify its authenticity. "
Jiang Pengji sneered. With a flick of her wrist, she slammed the booklet onto the heavy copper table.
Yang Si and Xu Ke heard a painful sound. When Jiang Pengji released her grip, there was a handprint that was half a knuckle deep on the table.
"How dare they! The world had yet to be settled, yet he dared to ignore etiquette and be so rampant! Who can guarantee that the girls around them are all brought in through the proper channels? " Jiang Pengji was obviously really angry. Yang Si grinned and watched the show, waiting for those idiots to be unlucky. Unexpectedly, the lord said, "Jing Rong, I'll leave this matter to you. Any madman who spoils his concubine but neglects his wife or oversteps his authority will be suspended and investigated!"
Yang Si: "…"
Huh?
No, it was almost the New Year. Why would he be assigned an additional task at this time?
Yang Si couldn't hold back his urge to complain in his heart, but he put on a serious face and said, "Suspending him from duty for investigation at this time … is too …"
"I've lost a few scoundrels who don't know the rules of etiquette. Can't I maintain my composure? Won't I be a joke to the world if I'm held back by them? " Jiang Pengji sneered and said, "If you say that they will be suspended from duty for investigation, then they will be suspended from duty for investigation. Take back all the invitations to the New Year's banquet this year. Let them stay at home and reflect on what they've done wrong. Many ambitious people want to enter officialdom but don't have a chance. They don't care. Pack up and get lost! "
The first few sentences were still decent, but the latter words directly exposed his true nature.
It was the standard style of a bandit.
Yang Si was happy and depressed at the same time.
He was happy because his lord was a real man. She didn't hesitate to suspend more than 30 middle-level people in one go.
He was depressed because his lord exploited people. She was already busy at the end of the year. With more than 30 people gone, the pressure on the others would be heavier.
He complained endlessly in his heart, but he still had to solemnly accept the order on the surface.
Jiang Pengji suddenly said, "By the way, you just said that the man's father was heartless. What's going on?"
Yang Si said, "It's said that the eldest son encountered a quack when he was young. A serious illness caused him to lose the ability to carry on the family line. This person was particularly disgusted with his eldest son. He often beat and scolded him to vent his anger. According to the old servant, he even slapped the child so hard that he lost his hearing in his right ear … "
The audience exploded when they heard this.
Salami Jizhi: "Damn, this man is really a scumbag. Spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, supporting a mistress, letting the mistress live in the wife's house, domestic violence against the wife, beating the son deaf, the mother-in-law beating the daughter-in-law, spoiling the mistress … Even the scriptwriters of modern dramas wouldn't dare to write such a story! "
Dameizhang: "In ancient times, concubines were legal. I agree with everything else, but the mistress is too much."
Baixiang Xianggao: "Hahaha, didn't you hear what Rong 'er said just now? That man doesn't have the right to have a concubine, right? If he doesn't have the right to have a concubine, then this concubine isn't legitimate. If she isn't a mistress, then what is she? A scumbag man and a scumbag woman. The legal wife and son are really unlucky! "
Qifeng Liao: "And the evil mother-in-law!
Toudu Feiqiu: "Hold your breath. Based on my ten years of experience following updates, I have a feeling that the streamer is about to make a big move!"
Jiang Pengji lifted her eyelids and said coldly, "How can such a beast father be a father!"
Personally beating the ears of one's son was a beast.
Nowadays, there was a saying that "a filial son is born under the rod," but no one dared to beat someone to death or cripple them, except for those who were extreme and ignorant.
Of course, if the feudal society developed for another few hundred years, perhaps parents would be innocent of beating their children to death.
Yang Si lamented, "What a pair of poor children."
"Dongqing has experienced several wars. Millions of people and soldiers have lost their lives." Jiang Pengji glanced at Yang Si and Xu Ke and said calmly, "At this time, we should encourage childbirth and restore the population as soon as possible. In other words, children are the future of the entire country. They should be treated well. How can they be defiled by these beasts? Jing Rong, call Wenbin over. I have something to discuss with him. "
Although Jiang Pengji did not finish speaking, Yang Si felt that his lord was about to make a big move!
"Yes!"
Yang Si and Xu Ke vaguely guessed something, but the audience in the streaming room understood immediately.
The streamer wanted to deprive the father and mother of their guardianship!
Although there was no such thing as "guardianship" in ancient times.
Guicai Guofengxiao: "Streamer, you're courting death!"
Jiang Pengji's eyes were calm. Even though the streaming room was in an uproar, she was still calm and collected.
Streamer V: "It's not as difficult as you think. To parents, besides continuing the bloodline, carrying on the family line, and raising them for old age, children are also the parents' tacit private property. Since it's private property, naturally there are ways to make them spit it out. "
In this era, the emperor had great power, especially the founding emperor.
Jiang Pengji was tacitly the future emperor, so she had the right to be willful.
In addition, she did not intend to succeed in one go. Naturally, she had to test the bottom line of everyone repeatedly.
"I have to let them know who has the final say in this land!"
Jiang Pengji smiled and poured the water in the cup out. Not a single drop was left. She sprinkled it into the trash can in the corner of the courtyard.
