Chapter Seventy-Four: Picking Up the Tiger's Whiskers
I heard that today's incident has nothing to do with Li Gaoming.
Lu Heng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
If you are scolded, you can make some more inventions to get away with it.
If Brother Gao Ming gets into trouble, I'm afraid that before His Majesty Li Er can punish him, he will be beaten by his violent father first!
He De next to him couldn't help but snicker in his heart when he saw him like this.
I don't know what Gongzi Lu's reaction will be when he sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later.
People who like to make others deflated so much are about to be shocked.
It's a joy to think about!
Lu Heng naturally didn't know what bad water He De was holding in his stomach.
He just followed the other party very relaxed and walked to the door of the East Palace.
"Master Lu, please come in."
He De made a gesture of invitation towards the door, and Lu Heng walked in without any defense.
Enter the inside of the East Palace.
When Lu Heng saw the person in front of him clearly, he was stunned at that time!
"Brother Gao Ming, you ...... Why are you here? β
His eyes widened:
"I guess I wasn't called in and scolded!"
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the side, saw this, and his face was half blackened.
Sitting here, Lu Heng is like he is blind!
I only saw Li Chengqian!
He said with a dark face:
"You kid, why don't you have any rules?"
"Don't salute when you see the emperor!"
Lu Heng came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted His Majesty Li Er honestly.
Immediately, he grinned and asked Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, can you tell the minister, why this brother is here?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him, and said angrily:
"This is the East Palace, why do you think he is here?"
"He is my son Li Chengqian, the word is smart, and he is the prince of the dynasty!"
Lu Heng's eyes widened and he looked at Li Chengqian next to him.
The latter fell off the horse on the spot, and it was the vest that was torn off by his father, so he could only bow his head very embarrassed at this time.
By now, Lu Heng had finally figured out a lot of things.
Why does this Gao Ming brother often fail to leave the house, why does He De have to escort him home, and why is the other party's family education so strict that it is almost perverted......
I thought it was just a well-educated family.
Grass mud horses.
It turned out that Li Gaoming was Li Chengqian!
Of course, the education and rules of the prince will be much stricter!
But then, the few pieces of historical knowledge in Lu Heng's mind popped up.
As the emperor who created the rule of Zhenguan, most of the reasons why Li Shimin was criticized by later generations came from the fine tradition of the Li Tang royal family.
Take the heir!
His Majesty Li Er himself launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and snatched the throne from the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.
And his son wasn't much better.
The first prince, Li Chengqian, was extremely psychologically dark, and under the pressure of his father's doting Wei King Li Tai, he tried to rebel against the palace and failed to die well.
Li Tai didn't get any benefits because of this, even if the eldest brother was deposed, Li Shimin refused to appoint him.
The last person to take the throne was actually Li Zhi, who didn't want to take the throne at all!
Now it seems that Li Chengqian has not yet developed to the point where he rebelled in history.
But Li Shimin continued to press, and it is estimated that he will not be far behind.
While Lu Heng was brainstorming.
His Majesty Li Er suddenly spoke again and said:
"Lu Heng, you didn't know the identity of the prince before, and you were friendly with him, I believe that you are only because of him as a person, not because you want to cling to the prince."
"But I want to ask you......"
"Why did you think that the prince was in dire straits, and you still wanted him to run away from home?"
"Gao Ming is my son after all, you have to give me an explanation!"
Lu Heng was directly numb.
He glared angrily at Li Chengqian-
Why did you even explain this to your father, how does Lao Tzu behave?!
Li Chengqian knew that he was at a loss, so he buried his head a little lower.
Seeing that this so-called good brother is unreliable.
Lu Heng could only let out a long sigh and said:
"Your Majesty, you really misunderstood the minister in this matter."
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with strict teaching, but it also varies from person to person."
"The minister didn't know the prince's kinship before, thinking that he was the son of a certain family, so he let him run away from home."
"It's not because of the family."
"It's the marriage system of the family, and the problem is very big!"
Li Shimin heard that Lu Heng was talking about the family and marriage, and he became interested.
He had been sitting upright, but now he leaned forward and said:
"That's a bit bizarre."
"You wouldn't have deceived me casually to avoid punishment, would you?"
"Come, talk to me!"
His Majesty Li Er was not wrong.
Lu Heng really wanted to wash himself clean, so he said this.
It's just that due to the explosion of information in modern society, Lu Heng's cognition of things is several levels higher than that of the natives of the Tang Dynasty, and he can also come up with an explanation.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, there is a rule, maybe you have heard of it."
"Ethically, brother and sister can't get married, right?"
Li Shimin nodded as a matter of course:
"It's nature!"
"From ancient times to the present day, this is not allowed. Heaven is normal, how can it be violated! β
Lu Heng asked rhetorically:
"Do you know why?"
"Why don't you allow your brother and sister to get married? This Lun often doesn't appear out of thin air, and someone must have set it. β
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
After being stunned for a long time, he hesitated:
"I heard that many of the children born to my brother and sister who got married seem to have disabilities."
"I'm afraid it's because it's against the principles of heaven that it's like this."
Lu Heng stretched out a finger and shook it very firmly.
He said word by word:
"Not only brothers and sisters, but cousins and cousins, regardless of whether they have the same surname or not, cannot be married!"
"Except for those born to the biological ones, the children born to children who are married within three generations are all at risk of disability."
Hearing that within three generations, Li Shimin became energetic.
He asked rhetorically:
"But there are countless cousins who have married, and their children don't have many disabilities."
"Rao is there, but there are couples who are not related by blood, and there are also heavenly disabilities."
"How do you explain that?"
This belongs to the category of biology, and it is the realm of Lu Heng beating the ancients.
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a disability called hereditary psychosis?"
Li Shimin frowned.
But I heard Lu Heng continue to explain:
"The children born to these people who are close in blood may not seem to have a problem on the surface, but in fact there is something wrong with the brain."
"The specific principle, I can write a book to explain it later."
"You just have to think about itβ"
"Are there many people in the family who look abnormal?"
"Especially the kind of five surnames and seven hopes."
"For example, cruelty and murder, special likings, taking Wushi San, or behaving ...... that are different from ordinary people"
"I heard that during the Wei Jin and Sui periods, there were many such madmen in the family."
"The family law in the family is extremely strict, and the minister is worried about this, so he will persuade the prince to run away from home, so as not to be driven crazy like those people!"
The further back he listened, the more His Majesty Li Er's brows relaxed.
Hearing the "family" that put the accent at the end, his originally tightly knit brows completely relaxed.
He laughed and said:
"Good...... Good! β
"Makes a lot of sense!"
