The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 1274 Asking for Marriage
Shangguan An Ning still didn't believe it, and asked: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that kisses increase kisses, is it wrong? Haven't you seen any children with missing arms and legs?"

Ling Yao explained patiently: "Not all children born to close relatives have problems, but the probability of congenital disabilities or intellectual problems is much higher than other couples. You didn't see it, it should be when the children found out If there was a problem, it was dealt with, or died, and did not survive."

Shangguan An Ning's face turned even paler. He once heard from his classmates that some people gave birth to monsters and drowned in the water basin as soon as they were born.

There are also some idiots, if it is a son, it is possible to keep it, and if it is a daughter, it will die "accidentally".

Seeing that his face was not good-looking, Ling Yao 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 or cousin?"

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

Shangguan An Ning laughed dryly, and covered it up: "It's nothing, the eldest princess don't want to make fun of me! I just thought that my classmate mentioned that there was a deformed child in the family, and he drowned in the basin as soon as he was born."

When Ling Yao heard this, her expression became serious, "To hide our ugliness, most people deal with it in this way. But it is difficult to change people's ideas, we can only start with the people around us..."

She suddenly had an idea to ask Jing Yu to promulgate a decree prohibiting intermarriage of immediate and collateral relatives within three generations.

Just do what you say, Ling Yao said goodbye immediately: "I will discuss this issue with the emperor, and see if it is possible to add the prohibition of marriage of close relatives to the decree."

Everyone got up to see each other off, Ling Yao waved his hand and left.

Shangguan An Ning looked at Ling Yao's slim back with despondency in his eyes.

Zheng Shuyue patted her son on the shoulder to show comfort.

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

Zheng Zimo wanted to tell them that Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Ruoli were half-brothers, and with concubine problems, the chances of giving birth to children with problems were greatly reduced.

But since Ling Yao had no intention, he swallowed the words back.

Ling Yao went back to the palace and went directly to Jing Yu to explain the matter. When Jing Yu heard about it, she paid attention to it.

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.

Promise to bring this matter up tomorrow morning and add it to the regulations. Even if it is not enforced immediately, it will only be enforced after the people get used to it.

Laws and regulations also have to match the level of civilization of the society. Without the cognition of the people, if they are enforced all at once, I am afraid that it will cause instability of people's hearts and cause riots.

After all, there are too many combinations of cousins ​​and cousins ​​in society.Once such regulations are issued, those families may be unstable.

In the early morning of the next day, when Jing Yu proposed this decision, it really shocked the courtiers.

Because, not to mention their family members, even they themselves have many married cousins, and their children are all healthy.

If Jing Yu ordered his cousins ​​to be banned from marrying, and said that there would be problems with the children, how could they be so embarrassing with the children?
They don't care about the probability or improbability, as long as there is the word congenital disability, they don't want to hear it.

This decree involved the personal reputation of the courtiers, and they all argued hard,

Jing Yu had expected it a long time ago, and did not force it. In the end, it came to be: direct blood relatives and cousins ​​within three generations are prohibited from getting married; for the sake of the quality of offspring, it is best not to marry cousins ​​within three generations.

For direct blood relatives who have a reproductive relationship, marrying patrilineal cousins ​​was taboo in ancient times, but this also happens in some cases.

In this way, many close relatives get married, and there is a reason for the birth of a handicapped child in the family, and their children will naturally avoid this risk and avoid close relatives getting married.

In this way, after waiting for a few years, everyone slowly accepts it, and then amends the regulations and enforces them.

In fact, in the families of officials in the DPRK and China, there are also cousins ​​who get married and give birth to deformed children.They should only be unknown, retribution and the like.Now that I know the reason, I have secretly decided that my descendants cannot marry their cousins.

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

As the new year is approaching, not only the various prefectures begin to celebrate the new year, but also the countries also send gifts to each other to express their friendship.

Both Xirong and Beiling sent missions over, and they both mentioned their intention to make peace in their letters of credence.

Knowing that the conditions in Beiling are bitter and cold, Dongming Ziyu is reluctant to marry Lingyao, and wants to marry the princess to Jingyu as his concubine.

But Xirong asked to marry Princess Lingyao, with a respectful attitude and no intention of forcing.

Not long ago, there was a coup d'état in the Xirong court, Xirong Jingxiu sought power to usurp the throne and became the emperor of Xirong.

Xirong Wennian became the prince, but the marriage partner is not him, but his sixth brother.The sixth prince has reached the age of eighteen, and is the most important prince of Xirong Jingxiu, and may become a prince in the future.

Dongming Ziyu snorted coldly, "What a toad wants to eat swan meat! Wanting to marry an orphaned daughter, what a beautiful idea!"

Shangguan Ruoli secretly supported his forehead, the other party was also a prince, he heard that he had good looks and talents, why did the toad want to eat swan meat?

Of course, she also felt that it was difficult to find a man who was worthy of Ling Yao in the world, but it was not enough to call him a toad.

Jing Yu smiled helplessly: "Father, don't need to be angry, what your son wants is the entire Canglan Continent, and he won't let Ling Yao marry any royal woman."

Dongming Ziyu snorted coldly, "Xi Rong Jingxiu's move is also to test our attitude. If we have a sincere friendship, we should send the princess as a hostage like Beiling did, instead of planning to hold Ling Yao in hand!"

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

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

Jing Xi had such an expression as expected, eating snacks like a little hamster.

Jing Yu said: "I want to secretly increase troops to the borders of Xirong and Beiling. The weather will be good this year, and the next year will be good. I am worried that they will be the first to attack. Although we captured Nanyun, Nanyun is poor , and also cost us half of our budget.”

Ling Yao frowned and said, "You mean, they bully us without money?"

Jing Yu said: "We don't rule out the possibility of Xirong and Beiling joining forces. Their neighbors not only have Daming, they may also borrow troops or food from the Western Regions and Luocha."

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

And Rakshasa refers to the countries of Russia.
