"Treason!"
An angry shout woke Fan Zheng up, and he saw a middle-aged man holding a ruler and shouting angrily at him.
"Master, calm down!"
In front of Fan Zheng, a beautiful middle-aged woman protected him with her slender body while begging for mercy.
"You, a traitor, have only learned medical skills for a few days, but you are prescribing evil prescriptions at random. Several generations of the Qingming Dynasty of my Fan family have been ruined by you, a traitor." The middle-aged man scolded angrily.
"Evil way! Treason!"
A large number of memories suddenly appeared in Fan Zheng's mind, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
He traveled through time to a young man with the same name in the Northern Song Dynasty and became the grandson of the famous prime minister Fan Zhongyan. The middle-aged couple in front of him were his father Fan Chunli and mother Ma.
"Sir, Zheng'er is studying medicine in the Imperial Medical Bureau now, how could he prescribe evil prescriptions randomly?" Ma defended.
Fan Chunli was furious and said, "Ask him what good deeds he has done. A couple came to see him for medical treatment, and he prescribed a prescription for divorce!"
"Heli! Zheng'er, why are you so confused!"
Ma was dumbfounded. She did not expect that Fan Zheng would come up with such an incredible prescription. Harmony was the divorce of later generations. Although the Song Dynasty did not reach the peak of feudal ethics, reconciliation was still extremely rare.
As the saying goes, it would be better to tear down ten temples than break up a marriage, but other couples just want to see a doctor and let each other reconcile. What is this if not evil?
Fan Zheng frowned, and suddenly remembered the whole story, and couldn't help but look strange.
"Father and mother! The child's diagnosis was not wrong!" Fan Zheng said firmly. He would be a medical student at a prestigious university in later generations. From the perspective of future generations, the diagnosis of his predecessor was not wrong at all!
"You traitor, you are still stubborn! It's all because of your doting on him that you let him be so presumptuous!" After Fan Chunli angrily scolded Fan Zheng, like many men, he blamed his wife for his anger.
Hearing this, Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and his body couldn't help but protect the aggrieved mother in front of him. He raised his head and looked directly at his father and said, "Father, does he know that what that couple is looking at is infertility?"
Fan Chunli sneered: "Even if your wife has nothing to do, you can't actively instigate them to reconcile."
Fan Zheng retorted: "Who said infertility is the woman's responsibility!"
Fan Chunli couldn't help but hesitated and asked, "Is it because the man is infertile?"
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The man is also normal!"
Fan Chunli suddenly said angrily: "Since there is no problem on both sides, if you dare to instigate others to reconcile, I will beat you to death!"
"Father, wait a minute! Have you ever thought about why a couple who are both normal cannot have children for several years? This is the biggest abnormality!" Fan Zheng said loudly.
Fan Chunli couldn't help but frowned and said: "So what? If you cause the negative consequences of "The Peacock Flies Southeast", I will definitely expel you from my house!"
If both men and women are normal, even if they do not have children for the time being, pregnancy will be a matter of time in the future. They cannot reconcile and divorce. If both parties can't let go and commit suicide, not only will the son's future be ruined, but even the Fan family will be in disgrace for thousands of years. , this is the root cause of his anger.
Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "If this is really the case, how can the child dare to prescribe it? The reason why I prescribe Heli is because the child has diagnosed the real cause of their infertility."
"Seriously?" Ma said in surprise.
Only then did she realize how much trouble Fan Zheng had caused this time. Not only himself, but also the Fan family would be implicated. If Fan Zheng could find the real cause of his illness, he might be able to turn the tide.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Originally, the child was puzzled. The probability of a normal couple being infertile is extremely low, but it is definitely not impossible. Even so, the child will not prescribe a divorce until before leaving. When I arrived, the woman called me 'cousin'."
"Cousin? Is there any problem with this?" Ma asked in her heart.
"This couple is very close!" Fan Chunli pointed out.
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, the real reason for their infertility is the incest."
Lu You, a famous poet in later generations, was married to his cousin Tang Wan. They were infertile after marriage. This matter was not without precedent. Moreover, they were most fortunate to meet Fan Zheng in time. If they accidentally got pregnant and gave birth to a deformed child in the future, that would be the biggest disaster. The tragedy begins.
"How is it possible? How can infertility occur if you have a close relationship?" Ma asked puzzledly.
Fan Zheng explained: "What we in the world call a close relationship, from the medical point of view, it is a close relative marriage. "Zuo Zhuan" says: Marriage with the same surname will lead to a poor life. This statement is wrong! What really affects fertility is not The surname is the blood relationship, and the non-marriage with the same surname only takes into account the paternal blood relationship, but ignores the maternal blood relationship. The maternal blood relationship can also be related to one's birth. There is no difference between cousins in terms of blood relationship. They are direct blood relatives and three generations of collateral relatives, rather than marriages with the same surname."
"Maternal lineage?" Ma's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that her love for her son was not in vain.
"Ni... Zi! You actually questioned Zhou Li!" Fan Chunli angrily yelled. He originally thought that Fan Zheng's prescribing prescription for the couple to reconcile had caused a huge disaster, but he did not expect that Fan Zheng would do something even more shocking, blatantly Pointing out the fallacy in the Confucian classic "Zuo Zhuan" would definitely cause an uproar if this spread.
"The Zhou rites were etiquette a thousand years ago. The medical skills at that time were not developed, so we only discovered the phenomenon of people with the same surname not marrying, and they formed an ethical system. However, thousands of years later, doctors' medical skills improved and they discovered it long ago. The real reason why he is alive and dead is not the same surname, but is determined by physiology, and physiology has existed since ancient times, flowing in human blood and has never changed. Logically speaking, physiology should take precedence over ethics." Fan Zhengyi is He argued rhetorically.
"Sir, you are so treasonous. Do you know how many people in the world are close to each other? Once these remarks come out, you will definitely be criticized by thousands of people." Fan Chunli scolded.
In this era, high-ranking officials and dignitaries have weaved a network of marriages for their own wealth and power, and kissing one another is their most common method. If it is revealed that the marriage is related to the marriage, it will definitely cause an uproar. .
"What a thousand people mean? Since my father knows that there are many close relatives, he will understand how serious the consequences of close relatives are. Infertility is only the luckiest punishment for incest marriage. In addition, incest marriage will also cause It causes infant deformities, mental retardation, disability, premature death, and various congenital diseases. They are countless, and they are all around us. Father can think about it carefully." Fan Zheng said with a heavy face.
Ma's face suddenly changed and she said: "The Wang family and his wife in the west of the city just got married. There is a mentally retarded child in the family, and the Cheng family..."
Ma suddenly shuddered when she thought of the examples of incest marriages around her. She had always thought that their fate was bad, but now she suddenly realized that it was all caused by incest marriages.
"This is just an example from my mother's side. How many consanguineous marriages are there in the entire Kaifeng city? Looking at the Song Dynasty, how many consanguineous marriages are there? How many families have fallen into tragedy because of this. In order to adhere to the ethics of thousands of years ago, my father can just watch. Are you watching countless families fall into such tragedies?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.
Fan Chunli suddenly fell into deep thought. The struggle between heaven and man in his mind is, on the one hand, the ethics and morals he firmly believes in throughout his life, and on the other hand, the tragedy of getting married.
After a long time, Fan Chunli said with firm eyes: "Don't act rashly this time. I will wait until my father collects the data on incest marriages in Kaifeng City and then report it to the court."
"Father understands justice well! I admire him, my boy!" Fan Zheng said loudly.
The father and son looked at each other, and they both understood that a debate about ethics and physiology was about to begin in the Song Dynasty.
The Fan family is a prominent family in Kaifeng City, and their every move attracts attention. With the help of caring people, the news that Fan Zheng prescribed a prescription for his wife to divorce soon spread in Kaifeng City and became a big laughing stock among the people of Kaifeng.
"I heard that this was Mr. Fan's first prescription for becoming a successful doctor, but he actually wants to be reconciled!"
"This is too ridiculous! I would rather demolish ten temples than a marriage. How can a doctor persuade people to divorce."
"Fortunately, this is his first party. If such a quack doctor is really allowed to treat people, how many lives will be lost?"
In Kaifeng City, everyone was talking a lot and ridiculing Fan Zheng.
However, as another breaking news came, it completely detonated the city of Kaifeng, that is, the couple who Fan Zheng prescribed for had really reconciled.
"The Song Dynasty version of the peacock flies southeast!" Everyone sighed sadly.
"The peacock flies southeast, lingering for five miles..." Some scholars recited "The peacock flies southeast" in public, using the tragedies of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi to satirize Fan Zheng.
"It's pitiful that Fan Xianggong's great reputation was ruined by his unworthy descendants."
The entire Fan Mansion was criticized, and some people even used this to attack the Fan family.
However, Fan Mansion remained silent and quietly began to collect cases of incest marriages in Kaifeng City.
Soon, tragic cases were placed in front of the Fan family and his son, making the atmosphere in the entire study gradually dull.
"Shocking!" Fan Zheng sighed.
Fan Chunli also looked embarrassed. No one thought that the situation was so serious. There were so many cases in Kaifeng City alone. If we look at the entire Song Dynasty, how many people suffered from it.
"This matter can't wait any longer. My father must report to the court immediately and no close relatives are allowed." Fan Chunli said firmly.
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Father, would you like to inform my second uncle and fourth uncle? They have sent people to inquire many times in the past two days."
Fan Chunli shook his head and said, "No, you are the one who caused this trouble. Just take the responsibility for it as my father."
"Father, don't be pessimistic. This matter is not impossible. You must know that the person in charge today is Empress Dowager Gao, and the in-laws emphasize the maternal lineage. Maybe this can be manipulated." Fan Zheng suggested.
Fan Chunli glared at Fan Zheng, this kid used this trick to coax his mother into spinning.
"Father knows what to do! There will be constant turmoil in Kaifeng City these days. Don't run around." Fan Chunli ordered.
"My child knows!" Fan Zheng assured, patting his chest.
