"You girl, are you satisfied?!" After the next court, Emperor Jinghe asked Zheng An to call Shengyuan to Lanzheng Hall and looked at her angrily.
After the cabinet discussed the issue of female succession for several months, two things were finally implemented:
One is about the confirmation of the girl’s inheritance rights.
The inheritance rights mentioned here are divided into two aspects: title inheritance and family property inheritance.
The title inheritance law confirms that a girl is qualified to inherit her father's title, but she must be ranked behind her brothers.
In other words, unless she is an only child, as long as one of her brothers is alive, her title will not matter to her. Even though she is an adult, her brother is still an infant.
In terms of family inheritance, it is stipulated that the eldest son will exclusively own 60% of the family property, and the remaining children will share the remaining 40% equally.
A girl who inherits a family business should, like other brothers, take good care of her parents, visit them regularly, and keep them company.
At the same time, the family property inherited by the husband-in-law shall be owned by the husband-in-law personally.
That is, the family property inherited by the couple from their parents is their private property.
The changes in the law in this regard have also brought about a great change, which is that from a legal perspective, it is confirmed that parents-in-law no longer have the same privileges as parents over their daughter-in-law.
In other words, the parents-in-law have no power to beat their daughter-in-law whenever they want, scold them whenever they want, and sell them to their daughter-in-law whenever they want. If the daughter-in-law accuses her parents-in-law, she will no longer be punished.
Although the changes and additions to the laws are still not perfect, and there are still prejudices and discriminations, overall, the changes are progressive and gratifying.
Sheng Yuan also didn't expect that the inheritance battle that had lasted for so long would have such great results.
"Holy Lord, how can this be attributed to me?! This is clearly your wisdom, majesty, sage, foresight, courage, kindness and magnanimity..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Emperor Jinghe saw Sheng Yuan trying to flatter him endlessly, and shouted stop in a hurry!
Although these compliments made his lips curl up, he, the emperor, has a long memory!
Don't let this girl be fooled by her kind words anymore!
"Hmph, Pang Yihou's heir apparent has been succeeded by Chen Rong, Pang Yihou's legitimate daughter... In this way, both of the two things you set out to achieve will be achieved. For a while, please give me some peace of mind. If you have time, you can think about it. Don’t worry about getting married the year after tomorrow!"
Emperor Jinghe was also afraid of Shengyuan. Although the morning with this girl was very lively, she could really create trouble for him!
It was almost ten years since he took the throne. He still wanted to sort out his achievements and show them off to the Ancestral Temple. It would be better if he had the opportunity to be granted the title of Zen Taishan, but he was not allowed to let this girl mess around for him anymore.
"It's not the provocation that I'm provoking. It's clearly the elders in the court who are bullying me! I always strike from the back!" Sheng Yuan really felt that she was wronged.
She really couldn't remember who she provoked first!
"Is that so?!" Emperor Jinghe saw that her little face was full of grievances and he was a little confused.
Could it be that I remembered it wrong? !
"No matter who takes the initiative, you should be honest with me, otherwise, I will release you! Let you manage the border town for me!"
Emperor Jinghe's original intention was to scare Sheng Yuan, but he didn't expect that when the girl heard this, her eyes lit up!
"???" When Emperor Jinghe saw it, he felt bad and quickly waved his hand to chase them away, "Go quickly! Go quickly! I want to rest!"
Sheng Yuan rolled her eyes and didn't bother. She resigned with a smile.
Emperor Jinghe and Zheng An: "..."
The master and servant looked at each other blankly for a long time.
