Shangguan Anning still didn't believe it, and asked: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a close relationship increases the relationship. Is it wrong? I haven't seen any children with missing arms and legs being born?"

Ling Yao explained patiently: "Not all children born from consanguineous marriages have problems, but the chance of congenital disabilities or intellectual problems is much greater than that of other couples. If you didn't see it, it should be as soon as the children find out.

If there were problems, they would be dealt with, or they would die young and not survive.”

Shangguan Anning's face turned even paler. He once heard from his classmates that a monster was born in a family and drowned in a basin as soon as it was born.

There are also some fools who think that if it is a son, it is possible to keep it, but if it is a daughter, she will die "accidentally".

Ling Yao saw that his face was ugly, so she blinked and asked, "Brother An Ning, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale? Could it be that you have a crush on some cousin?"

Zheng Shuyue felt distressed seeing her son like this, and wanted to remind Ling Yao: An Ning and you are also cousins!

Shangguan Anning laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, Princess, don't make fun of me! I just thought of my classmates who mentioned that there was a deformed child in the family who drowned in the basin as soon as he was born."

When Ling Yao heard this, her expression became solemn, "In order to cover up ugliness, most people do it this way. But it is difficult to change the world's ideas. We can only start with the people around us..."

She suddenly had an idea and asked Jing Yu to announce a decree prohibiting intermarriage between immediate and collateral relatives within three generations.

Just do it, Ling Yao said goodbye immediately: "I'm going to discuss this issue with the emperor to see if it can be added to the law that close relatives cannot get married."

Everyone stood up to see each other off, Ling Yao waved her hands and left.

Shangguan An Ning looked at Ling Yao's graceful back with dejection in his eyes.

Zheng Shuyue patted her son's shoulder to express comfort.

Shangguan An Ning showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then blushed in embarrassment. The first love affair died in the cradle.

Zheng Zimo wanted to tell them that Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Ruoli were half-mothers. If there were problems caused by concubines, the chance of giving birth to a child with problems would be greatly reduced.

But since Ling Yao didn't mean it, he swallowed his words.

Ling Yao returned to the palace and went directly to Jing Yu to explain the matter. As soon as Jing Yu heard this, he took it seriously.

He knew the details of Bai Qingqing and knew that she came from a very developed and highly civilized era, so he had no doubts about it.

I promised to raise this matter to the court tomorrow morning and add it to the regulations. Even if it is not enforced immediately, it will only give the people a process of adaptation before it is enforced.

Laws and regulations must also be in line with the level of civilization in society. If they are divorced from the people's understanding and enforced all at once, I am afraid it will destabilize the people and cause riots.

After all, there are too many combinations of cousins ​​and cousins ​​in society. Once such a law is introduced, those families may not be stable.

The next morning at court, when Jing Yu proposed this resolution, the courtiers were shocked.

Because, let alone their families, they themselves also have many married cousins, and the children they gave birth to are all healthy.

If Jing Yu had issued an order prohibiting his cousins ​​from getting married, and also said that the children they would have would have problems, how could they and their children be so embarrassed?

They don't care about the probability of anything, as long as the word "congenital disability" is mentioned, they don't want to hear it.

This decree involves the personal reputation of the courtiers, and they all argue vigorously.

Jing Yu had already expected it, and did not force it. Finally, it was decided that direct blood relatives and blood relatives within three generations of cousins ​​were prohibited from getting married. For the sake of the quality of offspring, it was best not to get married with cousins ​​within three generations.

It was taboo for ancient people to marry direct blood relatives who had a reproductive relationship with paternal cousins, but this happened in some cases.

In this way, if many close relatives get married and there is a child born with a disability in the family, the reason will be known, and their children will naturally avoid this risk and avoid close relatives getting married.

In this way, after a few years, everyone will gradually accept it, and then the regulations will be revised and enforced.

In fact, in the families of officials in the DPRK, there were cousins ​​who got married and gave birth to deformed children. They just thought it was something unknown and they were being punished. Now that they know the reason, they have secretly decided that their children and grandchildren cannot marry their cousins.

This incident seems to have passed without causing any waves, but it is quietly affecting the entire society.

As the New Year approaches, not only do governments start to celebrate the New Year, but countries also send gifts to each other to express friendship.

Xirong and Beiling both sent envoys, and both mentioned their intention to marry in their credentials.

Beiling knew that the conditions were harsh and cold, so Dongming Ziyu was reluctant to marry Ling Yao and wanted to marry the princess to Jing Yu as his concubine.

Xirong, on the other hand, asked to marry Princess Lingyao with a respectful attitude and no intention of forcing her.

Not long ago, there was a coup in the Xirong court. Xirong Jingxiu tried to usurp the throne and became the emperor of Xirong.

Xirong Wen Nian became the prince, but the marriage partner was not him, but his sixth brother. The sixth prince was over 18 years old and was the most valued prince in Xirong Jingxiu. He might be the crown prince in the future.

Dongming Ziyu snorted coldly, "What a toad that wants to eat swan meat! He wants to marry an orphan's daughter. What a beautiful idea!"

Shangguan Ruoli secretly held his forehead. The other party was also a prince. I heard that he had good looks and talents. Why did he want to eat swan meat?

Of course, she also felt that it was difficult to find a man in the world who could match Ling Yao, but she wouldn't call him a toad.

Jing Yu smiled helplessly: "Father, there is no need to be angry. What my son wants is the entire Canglan Continent, and he will not let Ling Yao marry any royal woman."

Dongming Ziyu snorted, "Xirong Jingxiu's move is also to test our attitude. If we are sincere in our friendship, we should send the princess as a hostage like Beiling did, instead of plotting to pinch Ling Yao.

In hand!"

Jingyang asked: "Brother Emperor, how do you want to reply to Xirong and Beiling?"

Jing Yu said: "I and Ling Yao are both young, so it is too early to discuss marriage, so we sent them both away."

Jing Xi looked like he was eating snacks like a little hamster.

Jing Yu said: "I want to go to Xirong and secretly increase troops at the Beiling border. This year has been good and the weather will be good next year. I am worried that they will attack first. Although we captured Nanyun, Nanyun is in poverty.

, and also consumed half of our funds.”

Ling Yao frowned and said, "You mean, they bully us and we have no money?"

Jing Yu said: "We do not rule out the possibility of Xirong and Beiling joining forces. Not only are their neighbors Da Ming, they may also borrow troops or food from the Western Regions and Rakshasa."

Shangguan Ruoli knew that the Western Regions refers to the desert and the western countries west of the desert, including areas in central and western Asia and the Indian Peninsula.

And Rakshasa refers to the Russian countries.
