In the Political Consultative Hall, Li Er looked at Bai Fan heavily and asked, "Boy, the storm is at the forefront. A blind date that broke through the sky was actually caused to this extent. It's not that I can't withstand the pressure of the court, but someone here must have fueled the fire. The key is that a group of boys in the academy are anxious to marry a wife and let others catch the handle. How about it? Can you withstand it?"

Bai Fan wanted to overturn the marriage etiquette set by his ancestors. This matter can be said to be a major earthquake in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. A rumor pushed Bai Fan to the opposite of all literati.

So Li Er recruited him to the Political Consultative Hall, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanba were all there, and they didn't call anyone else. At this time, except for those who were in contact, the rest were outsiders.

Bai Fan smiled helplessly and said, "I just want to help all my sisters, but I didn't expect to cause trouble. The ancient marriage etiquette has been passed down for almost two thousand years since Duke Zhou. I don't want to overthrow it and change it. Why did it turn out like this?"

Li Jiancheng scolded dissatisfiedly: "It's all you who can't kill a snake. He is still soft-hearted to his enemies. He leaves people who come to cause trouble for you after he is left.

If there were no major families who helped this matter, I wouldn’t believe it. You kid, you were bullied to the point of writing suicide notes. After you became rich, you seemed to have forgotten the past. In their affairs, no one dared to speak even if you destroyed the Cui family’s lair. This is the word ‘power’!”

Li Yuan waved his hand to stop Li Jiancheng, "Okay, although you are right, this kid is indeed not cruel enough, which leads to being often plotted against, but this is also his advantage. It is the so-called skillful and brave!

You don’t know, right? At the beginning of the Yueyang Tower, he pleaded with me to deal with the four thieves and disciples from Dongting Lake. I have already mercifully let the Dou family go, and he still protects the thieves. After all, they are all local snakes who have been accomplices for more than ten years. What a pity?

Do you know what he said?”

After Li Yuan said this, the two brothers and others were curious, but Bai Fan waved his hand and didn't want Li Yuan to say it, and he was still a little embarrassed.

"The boy said: 'The real courage is not to know when to kill, but to forgive others!'

With this sentence, others would definitely think that this kid was ignorant of the world and educated me, but he said that this was taught by his mentor in his previous life, and the evil was eliminated. Those were the people of the Tang Dynasty. Will the Tang Dynasty be afraid of a group of headless rats? Or will the Tang Dynasty be afraid of the people taking the initiative to rebel?

Killing them cannot prove how powerful the Tang Dynasty eliminates evil, but will only make the people afraid. The real way is to make the people respected and love them, not afraid!

Later, I recalled that the tyrannical Qin recorded in historical books might have taken this fork.

It’s not that this kid doesn’t know how to play official power, but that he is more in a state of mind than us and does not take the Cui family seriously at all.”

Li Yuan's words left the Li brothers speechless, especially the famous saying, which is really worth remembering.

After a long time, Li Er asked again: "You are kind-hearted and don't forgive you. Now you are forced to the point of desperate situation. You have to take the initiative and say, have you thought about how to solve it?"

Bai Fan pondered for a moment, looked up and said loudly: "Since that's the case, it's better to take this matter openly for discussion. Although Confucian scholars and scholars all think that it is disrespectful to modify the law of ancestors, since there are so many people who pursue blind dates and love, it is definitely the people who have this need. What the people need is what state affairs need."

"Yes, this statement is indeed a good sentence for politics. I should write it down and tell the ministers to remember it, and then say, how do you want to solve it?"

While Li Er picked up the pen and wrote down what Bai Fan said before, he also urged Bai Fan to come up with a countermeasure, and the pen kept thinking, as if he wanted to be a clerk for him personally.

"The law of ancestors is not immutable, otherwise how could Shang Yang's reforms have come from the powerful Qin Dynasty? In this regard, the reason why etiquette and law make young people dissatisfied is that they are too conservative. The orders of parents are naturally very good, because parents will not harm their children, and they all want them to marry good ones.

However, this is inconsistent with the parties involved as children. What parents like is not what their children like. Some parents are greedy for wealth and would rather marry a wealthy family in the eighty years than a poor boy with eighteen. In today's era, the eighteen bride, Eighteenth bride, Eightyro, is a common thing.

In this way, there is no humanity. The eighty-year-old groom is happy, but what about the eighteen-year-old bride? In the bright years, marry an old man and return to heaven in two years. Well, there is an extra widow in the world who has been miserable for a lifetime.

For the country, a woman who is in a good life and wastes labor is a waste of a good woman who adds children to the country. This is a big deal that will be unfavorable to the country.

Besides, even if the men and women are of similar grades, Guli never met each other before they met. They only had to get to know each other after hiding the veil. What if they cannot be cultivated? If they don’t meet each other, it’s OK. Men can divorce their wives, or if they can’t get off, they will have a fire in the backyard and their families will be in a state of uneasy.

The consequentiality of a marriage seems to be just a small matter in the people's family, but it actually concerns the national economy and people's livelihood. How many months have more than two families been busy with a wedding? What about the government's demographic statistics? The more powerful the one is, the more difficult it is. It seems to have nothing to do with the court. In fact, if it fails, it will be a consuming task of people's and financial resources."

"This, this, how can a small marriage involve so many things? According to you, isn't there a big problem with the words of the matchmaker from parents' orders? How should the court solve it?" Li Jiancheng said inexplicably.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said, "No, there has never been a perfect rule for marriage, so in this incident, the son-in-law's opinion, since the other party wants me to come out to confront me, take the opportunity to take me down.

It is better to make it public and let the people choose to judge."

Li Er shook his head and said, "Most of the people are blindly following the crowd. How would they choose?"

"No, the people are actually the most polite person. Etiquette should come from the people, then return to the people, and be accepted by the people before it will be passed on.

The whole solution is to hold a debate publicly in Chang'an City. The topic of the debate is whether marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker, or whether men and women choose to combine freely?

As for both sides of the debate, those who support ancient rituals can elect people publicly, represent ten people, and support humanized blind dates can also provide ten people to deal with them. Both sides prepare their own debate views. Whoever can convince the other party is victory.

If the two sides are in par with each other, Chang'an City will select 50 respected elders, 50 middle-aged parents, 50 young people who have already had children, and 50 young people who have not yet started a family and have no one they like. The court will produce 100 officials from all sides, a total of 500 people as referees, and the final evaluation result.

See if the laws of ancestors should change. The result of the great success is the choice of the people, and Your Majesty can follow the will of the people."

Li Er touched his beard and smiled, "Boy, you have already planned it. Your name is "Bao Fan's iron-mouthed divine argument" was several years earlier than your apprentice Du Gou. With you here, wouldn't a group of Confucian scholars be angry to death? Will they win?"

Bai Fan took out a booklet and handed it over, and argued: "No, no, boy is full of public sentiment. No matter whether his personal grudge is just to solve the national conditions, even if the other party wins this time, it can only represent the public opinion. I, Bai Fan, have no official position, and at worst, I don't want the marquis to go back to teach for the rest of my life. With the royal family as a backer, can I still kill me?

This is the advantages and disadvantages of both sides of my handwritten letters. Your Majesty can hand them over to those polite masters. I heard that Lord Wei Zheng was the leader this time. Your Majesty told Old Wei to see the big ones from the small, and to guide this matter to the state affairs, there will be different results."

Li Er smiled, "You can tell that you are definitely calculating who you are. I heard that Mr. Yan and Mr. Wen Ji also objected, why didn't they come to the stage to debate?"

"Those two old men have been enlightened by my sincere words. They say that this is a practical literary assessment of the academy students, and as teachers, they will not participate in this matter." Bai Fan said seriously.

Guidance? Everyone covered their mouths and burst into laughter. Bai Fan's Guidance is probably not a good thing. The two old men don't know what they have been abused.
