According to previous laws, the little princess born by the queen was the first heir to the throne!
But now, according to the revised law, it depends on how many illegitimate children Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan has had in these thirty years!
Because they have the same inheritance rights as legitimate children!
And they are only arranged in order of age, and the inheritance rights can only be passed to the next child unless the older child voluntarily gives up the right of inheritance.
However, this constitutional amendment clearly favors male descendants.
Because it specifically states that if an illegitimate daughter has married in the past thirty years, she will be deemed to have automatically waived her inheritance rights.
Not even divorce.
Men, whether married or not, will not lose their inheritance rights.
This will ensure that the throne will continue to flow through the lineage of the Tantai clan.
Ordinary people do not care about the order of succession to the throne.
But because of this constitutional amendment, the inheritance rights of ordinary people are also included.
This policy has greatly affected the lives of countless ordinary people.
In particular, the interests of the innocent spouse and children in the marriage have been greatly weakened.
This news quickly spread throughout the empire after being released on social media, confirmed by the Royal Television, and pushed and confirmed by the official account of the Cabinet and Ministry of Justice.
The workload of the imperial court increased dramatically overnight.
These are all illegitimate children of certain people who file lawsuits in court, requesting the redivision of their biological father or mother's property.
Yes, not only men have illegitimate children, but women do too.
Illegitimate children, the products outside of marriage, have thus stepped onto the historical stage and are demanding their legitimate interests from the courts.
The spouses and legitimate children whose interests were damaged held a massive march on the major habitable planets in the Beichen Empire, demanding that the Senate and the Emperor cancel this constitutional amendment.
However, they do not have an emperor yet, and they cannot abolish a law relying solely on the Senate.
Queen Lee Bong-eun took this opportunity to attract a large number of supporters on social media.
She originally had no social media account.
But because of this incident and the need to find her daughter, her office opened an official account for her.
Of course, this official account was managed by her most trusted personal female official, and she only took a look at it when she had time.
The personal attendant said happily, "Empress, your fans increased by 100 million on the first day!"
“It has increased by one billion now!”
"The key is that it's only been three days!"
Queen Li Fengen was in a good mood. She sat in front of the dressing table and asked her personal maid to comb her hair.
She combs her hair a hundred times every day with a special comb, including massaging her scalp.
She closed her eyes comfortably and smiled, saying, "This law is perverse and no one wants it to take effect."
"If you can't completely repeal the law, then amend it to remove its retroactive effect."
"Looking back thirty years, what was Your Majesty thinking?!"
Her personal maid also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right! I just hope we can find the little princess soon."
…
Among the millions of affected families in the Beichen Empire, the aristocratic families were the most deeply affected.
Because, first of all, their class has the most illegitimate children!
Secondly, they can share the most property!
This news was spread and fermented on social media, and was confirmed by the Ministry of Justice and the Senate Legal Committee, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire Beichen Empire.
Not to mention aristocratic families, even families with a little spare money and power were in a state of panic.
Many housewives have always turned a blind eye to their husbands having illegitimate children outside.
Anyway, the family property cannot be divided, so there is no need to make trouble with the man.
The women outside can follow him if they want, they don’t care.
But now, the consequences they never thought of have come.
The most absurd thing about this law is that it can be retroactively applied for thirty years!
It is conceivable how profound its impact on the entire society is!
Even men who have illegitimate children outside can't stand it.
Many of them just give some money to support the women and children outside, and have never thought of sharing their property with these people!
But now, when the law comes, they panic.
In order to avoid dividing the family property among illegitimate children, ordinary people and nobles can still use wills to prevent this possibility.
But if the person is dead and there is no will, then I'm sorry, those illegitimate children who have grown up can come and ask for a share of the property.
According to the law, it really needs to be divided, and it must be divided equally among all the sons!
This is the big pit that Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan left for all the nobles.
Of course, things like wills do not apply to succession to the throne.
The law he amended had completely different provisions regarding the succession to the throne, as it was impossible for the throne to be divided equally among all the sons.
If he hadn't died, I wonder how he would be secretly having fun in the palace right now!
When noble families throughout the empire began to fight these absurd inheritance lawsuits, the Quan family, one of the four great noble families, also caused a big fuss.
It was the second son of the head of the Quan family, Quan Junxiao's family.
But it was not his concubine Ning Sa who came with her son to claim the inheritance rights.
But his wife Li Fengci actually insisted on getting a divorce!
Quan Junxiao sat on the sofa in his living room and said expressionlessly, "Do you really want a divorce?"
