Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 182 Intimate Sister

When he raised his head again, there were no tears in the eyes of the Minister of Personnel Lu Cao, only determination.

Emperor Xuan nodded to the Minister of Personnel.

Since there are so many disadvantages to marrying close relatives, it should be banned.

Then he turned around and gave a few instructions to Eunuch Liu beside him.

After a while, the chief emissary of the Imperial Hospital walked in with excitement and sorrow.

He knelt on the ground with a thud, holding a scroll of documents in his hand and raising it high above his head.

"Your Majesty! I have worked hard and endured many hardships for ten years, visiting Jing Daqian and its surrounding areas. I have found that there are many cases of cousins ​​marrying each other, but the children born from these marriages often have problems."

"Most of them are idiots. When idiot children are born, most people choose to strangle them to death. I beg Your Majesty to ban the custom of cousin marriage."

After hearing Xu Jinyu's thoughts, the officials knelt down in a row and made a request to Emperor Xuan.

"I beg Your Majesty to ban the custom of cousin marriage!"

"I beg Your Majesty to ban the custom of cousin marriage!"

·······

Among these requests, Xu Jinyu's voice was particularly clear.

[I agree to this now. Shouldn't it be normal for them to quarrel for at least three to five days? It would be normal for them to quarrel for ten days or half a month at most.]

[Then the court agreed, but the people were unwilling. Anyway, it would take three to five years before it could be implemented.]

Officials of Daqian: “…”

There are so many disadvantages of inbreeding. Are they crazy or something? They have to see what the children born from inbreeding look like.

"allow!"

"From now on, Daqian prohibits marriage between close relatives. Those who are already married will not be counted, and those who are already engaged will be cancelled immediately. Tell all officials to publicize the disadvantages of marriage between close relatives..."

Emperor Xuan's orders were passed down one by one.

[Yes, we must prohibit inbreeding. In our country, the royal family of a country married close relatives to maintain the purity of their bloodline. As a result, they have suffered the consequences of inbreeding in recent years.]

[Not only do all the royal children have rough appearances, but they also look not very smart.]

[The most important thing is that they couldn't give birth to a boy, and the only boy who was born seemed to have trouble communicating with people.]

【Perhaps the **royal family will soon perish. 】

【Hahahaha...this is retribution!!!】

Xu Jinyu's laughter was particularly hearty, but it left the officials confused and puzzled.

When did inbreeding become related to retribution?

Then····

"Master Wei..."

Wei An rolled his eyes.

I am the automatic translator.

Wuyang waited for Xu Jinyu to finish laughing, then immediately offered the second candidate.

"Huang Ximu, the second son of Duke Zheng."

[Let me see, Duke Zheng is a pretty good man, his children shouldn't be that bad.]

[Huang Ximu is already a juren, and is just waiting to pass the imperial examination so that he can enter the court as an official. Passing the imperial examination at such a young age proves that he has a good brain.]

Emperor Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

The candidates for the prince consort who can be sent to the concubines have all been screened by herself. They will only be sent to the harem if they have good looks, good health and good brains.

[He is also proficient in riding and archery, and has a good physique. He is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is indeed a good choice for a son-in-law. No matter what Wuyang likes, he can get a say.]

【After they get married, at least they will have something to talk about, instead of being speechless. 】

The officials in the court finally came to their senses from the shock of inbreeding: His Majesty was selecting a son-in-law for Princess Wuyang.

So maybe their son can try it too.

Although a prince consort cannot become a high-ranking official, being a prince consort can ensure the prosperity of the family for three generations, and three generations are enough for a family to prosper.

Among them, Duke Zheng puffed out his chest with pride. Although his second son was not as outstanding as the crown prince, he was still one of the best figures in the capital.

It is indeed more than enough to suit a princess.

Besides, there are many candidates for the prince consort. The princess only needs one, and the rest can be given to officials who need a son-in-law.

These candidates have been reviewed by Lord Xu, and it is clear whether they are good or not, and even their character has been checked clearly.

Several officials who needed sons-in-law pricked up their ears.

[There are no concubines or maids in the house, so the surroundings are relatively clean. ]

[He is a pretty good person, and you can tell from his appearance that Duke Zheng is not bad.]

Duke Zheng touched his face and said: Thank my ancestors for giving me a pretty good appearance.

[From the description above, he is handsome, 1.8 meters tall, gentle, not talkative, but considerate. This person is a good choice! ]

Princess Wuyang and Emperor Xuan both smiled with satisfaction.

[Wait! How come Huang Ximu has a close sister? ]

Wuyang's face froze halfway through his smile.

What does "confidant sister" mean? It should be "loving sister".

Duke Zheng even accidentally poked his finger into his own eye.

Hiss~~When did the second son have a close sister? How come I didn’t know it?

[Duke Zheng and his wife wanted their son to be successful, so Huang Muxi got up at five o'clock every day to study until lunch time. After lunch, he took a break and then studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the afternoon, he also had a martial arts class.]

[In between, I have to greet my parents and build good relationships with my brothers and sisters. It’s almost midnight when I can go to sleep. I can only rest for four or five hours a day.]

[After ten years of perseverance, a young man has black eyes. 】

hiss~~

The officials couldn't help but gasp.

Xu Jinyu has said a lot, and everyone already knows what she is talking about and what she means.

This means that the second son of Duke Zheng could only rest for more than two hours a day.

This is more tiring than being an official. How did Huang Ximu manage to persevere?

Everyone looked at Duke Zheng with a little admiration.

What a good way to educate your children!

It’s a pity that the Duke of Zheng doesn’t care about other people’s admiring eyes now. He needs to know that his son and that close sister are just able to talk, or...
