What did they hear? Marriage between blood relatives or collateral relatives within three generations will increase the incidence of disease in children.
They knew that marriage between blood relatives was prohibited, but this was the first time they heard of marriage between blood relatives in the collateral line within three generations being prohibited.
There are so many people, could it be that everyone is wrong?
They began to think about the children born after their close relatives...
Guagua's voice continues:
[Blood relatives refer to relatives with whom you have a direct blood relationship, that is, relatives of all generations above and below you who gave birth to you, such as parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, grandparents and grandchildren, etc.
Collateral relatives within three generations refer to relatives within three generations of one's descent, including:
A person is descended from his parents' brothers and sisters (including half brothers and sisters).
It comes from grandparents, grandparents, cousins, and brothers and sisters.
The term "䀲" comes from grandparents, uncles, aunts and nephews and nieces, and uncles, aunts and nephews and nieces.
No matter what the relationship between the man in the palace and his cousin was, as far as blood relationship was concerned, it was absolutely not allowed for him to marry his cousin.
Host, the relationship between close relatives must be explained clearly to the Emperor and everyone else. 】
Song Yaoyao: [I know.]
Song Yaoyao stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed, and said:
"Your Majesty, I suggest that marriages between collateral relatives within three generations be prohibited.
Because the fertility rate of closely related men and women will decrease after marriage, the mortality rate of their offspring will increase, and their offspring will often have congenital malformations and genetic diseases.
When cousins marry, the incidence of dementia in children is 150 times higher than that of non-consanguineous relatives, and the neonatal mortality and malformation rates are more than 3 times higher than that of non-consanguineous relatives.
The death rate of children of close relatives before the age of 20 was as high as 13.9%, while that of non-close relatives was only 1.7%.
Therefore, inbreeding is detrimental to future generations and should be prohibited.
The Emperor can also send people to investigate and collect evidence in this regard."
The emperor had already learned about this from the conversation between Song Yaoyao and Guagua, but now he pretended to have just learned about it and asked:
"Is what Princess Jiahe said true?"
"Absolutely."
"I know about it. I will send someone to investigate."
The Emperor looked at the crowd and said:
"Did everyone hear what Princess Jiahe said just now?
I will send people to investigate and collect evidence.
Therefore, until the results of the investigation come out, it is temporarily forbidden to have collateral blood relatives within three generations, and those who violate the rules will be executed."
"yes."
Everyone, from collateral relatives within three generations, brought their children here, and it took them a long time to recover.
They had previously believed that blood-related relationships could strengthen the relationship between relatives, but they did not expect it would bring about such consequences.
They couldn't help but recall in their minds whether the children born to their close relatives had any congenital diseases.
They hadn't noticed it before, so they were really shocked when they thought about it.
They knew of several families whose children died at birth, and several others who survived but had poor health and would fall ill at any time.
I didn’t know the reason before, but now I know the crux of the problem.
The banquet ended in the afternoon, and the emperor and the empress dowager left first.
Everyone was ready to leave.
Song Yaoyao urged:
[Guagua, have you seen Bu Songru? ]
Guagua: [Right in front, with his family.]
Song Yaoyao said to Madam Song:
"Mom, let's go back home quickly."
Mrs. Song agreed and said, "Okay."
The Song family members quickened their pace. When passing by Bu Songru, Song Yaoyao deliberately bumped into him and took the opportunity to stuff the evidence into his body.
Bu Songru already felt that there was something extra on his body, but he still pretended to know nothing, bowed to Song Yaoyao, and asked:
"Princess Jiahe, you are not happy, are you?"
Song Yaoyao waved her hand:
