Chapter 600: Incorporated into the Law
Emperor Wu sat at the top, with a solemn face as he watched the director of the Imperial Medical Office speak impassionedly to everyone, but she was actually smiling in her heart.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that Li Sanniang would take both light and dark paths. I wanted to suppress her, but now that she was singled out, it was really difficult to suppress her anymore.”
Although Dr. Gao came to visit with Li Sanniang's report and persuaded him to write a letter to him, Dr. Gao and Li Sanniang, who were unable to go to the pilgrimage, did not know that the Dr. Gao and Li Sanniang did not do what they expected. Content to explain.
After only listening to the speech of the Chief Medical Officer for a quarter of an hour, you can understand that the Chief Medical Officer is focusing on the issue of incestuous marriages, and they are originally close relatives in aristocratic families. It is more common, and everyone should be made aware of the dangers of incest.
At the same time, in the process of explaining, the Imperial Medical Office basically erased Li Sanniang’s name, let alone the name, and did not specify that Li Sanniang’s gender was a female. They only used “a doctor surnamed Li”. substitute.
However, the Chief of the Imperial Medical Department must not have thought that Emperor Wu, who was taking the time to look at him, would actually already know who made the suggestion.
Emperor Wu understood what the Imperial Medical Office was saying, and he didn’t listen very carefully. However, the dozens of other ministers present really paid attention to every word. Heard it clearly.
When the Imperial Medical Office finished speaking a long paragraph of theory, it finally said: "Sage, I propose to incorporate the prohibition of incest marriages into the law to fundamentally put an end to this matter.
From now on. , the people of our Tang Dynasty will all be healthy people with strong bodies and smart minds. When the time comes, not to mention tens of thousands of nations coming to visit our country, why not?”

What the Imperial Medical Officer is saying is really rounder and bigger than the cakes Li Sanniang drew for Mr. Ke!
(Chapter 256 Plot)
"Wang Shuzheng is really coming out of his mouth. Do you have any evidence?
Prove that incest marriages in these three servers are harmful to heirs. Come?”
I saw the Imperial Medical Office taking out a piece of folded paper from his sleeve with a proud look on his face, and when he unfolded it, there was a line chart similar to that in Li Sanniang’s report. And indicate the data source.
"This picture was spent a lot of effort to find out bit by bit among the close relatives of no less than a thousand high-ranking nobles. Look, everyone."
In fact, many people present were interested in this picture. The Imperial Medical Office's statement that "consanguineous marriage is harmful to heirs" is already very convincing.
You know, the bigger the house, the more trouble there is.
It’s just that these wealthy families all care about face. How can they talk about their own family affairs casually?
Just like Dr. Gao's old daughter, everyone present thought about the situation of their own family or the children of close relatives who were from consanguineous marriages within the third server. If they just looked at it, it might not be a big deal. But if compared with families who are not closely related, the gap is too obvious.
For example, there are two columns of civil and military officials standing in the main hall. There are few consanguineous marriages in the families of military officers, while there are more civil servants.
Earlier, it could be said that people from military attache families have strong bones and are more likely to have heirs, but now after hearing the remarks of the Chief of the Imperial Medical Office, everyone couldn’t help but think about it, maybe it’s not the case. The internal reason should be that some people are related to consanguineous marriages.
Emperor Wu watched the people in the audience going back and forth to argue with the Imperial Medical Office. However, regarding the issue of consanguineous marriages hindering children, the Imperial Medical Office’s preparations were quite strong, and he refuted them one by one. For those who have doubts about this.
These old men really love to quarrel. After about two quarters of an hour, they came to a common conclusion: incest marriage is indeed harmful to children. For the sake of future generations, the prohibition of incest marriage should be included in the plan. within the law.
All the ministers, from Yao Sui who was wearing a first-grade purple official robe to Lang Guan'er who was wearing a fifth-grade crimson (dark red) official robe, all lowered their heads and bent their hands together to salute Emperor Wu. They all said in unison: "Please let the saints rule."
Emperor Wu naturally took advantage of the situation and said: "All the ministers are safe.
Since all the ministers agree with Wang Shuzheng's words, then Prime Minister Yao should take charge of this matter and add this article to the "Shu Yi" as soon as possible and issue it to The rest of the states and counties, so that my people can be strong and smart, as Wang Shuzheng said, so that the future of the Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous. "
If it goes as usual, the imperial doctor will. It was time for the Chief of Staff to retire at this time. Emperor Wu and even the court officials would naturally remember his and the Imperial Medical Office's contributions. When Wang Dang was about to step forward and shout: "I have nothing to do to leave the court," Xu Jingzhen suddenly stood up wearing a crimson round-neck robe.
Xu Jingzhen, who was a son of a noble family but was separated from his family. He surrendered himself to Emperor Wu and wielded his sword against the family that gave birth to him. He was really a conspicuous person in this court. .
"Associate Xu, do you have a plan to report?"
Xu Jingzhen lowered his head and bowed in salute, then raised his head and said to Emperor Wu above him: "Sage, the other thing Wang Shuzheng said just now, For the sake of future population, we should raise the age at which girls get married, so that they can repopulate our Tang Dynasty when they are fully grown. "
When Xu Jingzhen said this, Wang Shuzheng's face, which had been smiling just like a big blooming chrysanthemum, suddenly drooped.
Wang Shuzheng’s original intention was to mainly mention the prohibition of incest marriages, and to mention raising the marriage age of girls. It is best for everyone to ignore this issue of "raising the age of marriage of girls". , as far as he is concerned, if the Imperial Medical Office has merit, he will have merit, and everyone is happy.
Everything was fine in the first place, and Emperor Wu didn't bother to discuss the issue of "increasing the marriage age of girls" with everyone, but who would have thought that Xu Jingzhen was not a good person and actually mentioned this to Emperor Wu alone? Come!
“Oh?
What does Assistant Manager Xu think of this?”
“Sage, according to what Wang Shuzheng said, this is naturally to increase the girl’s marriage age, which is practical. It is only right that the girl should be able to give birth to healthy children when her body grows up.
I propose that this article should be included in the law. ”
Before Emperor Wu could say anything, Lang Guan'er, a man with a beautiful beard and a fifth-grade crimson official robe, stood up. He first saluted Emperor Wu, then stood up, turned back to Xu Jingzhen and cursed directly: "Absurd!
Ignorance!
Ignorance!
Xu Xieli is really confused!
If the girl’s marriage age is raised, even by one year, How many fewer babies will be born in this year?
Who will bear the taxes of these unmarried girls during this year?
Moreover, how many men will not be able to marry a wife this year?
Have Xu Associate Manager ever thought about all this?
Can Associate Manager Xu be able to afford it? ”
Regarding the explanation of “five clothes, six relatives, nine tribes and eighteen generations of ancestors”, I will put it in the book circle, and those who are interested can go and read it.

Just now the computer was unable to connect to the Internet, which made me extremely anxious.
Fortunately, it started to work again after restarting. It’s really time to change my computer. The one I’m using now is the one my mom bought for me when I was in college.
