"Hahaha, my Zhao Tuo has a daughter!"

In the mansion of the Marquis of Wugong, Zhao Tuo whispered excitedly, looking at the bed without blinking.

The little baby who was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying quietly beside his wife warmed Zhao Tuo's whole heart.

Zhao Tuo has been a human being for two lives, and he already has his eldest son Zhao Che, so he should be stable about the birth of this second child.

But when Zhao Che was born, Zhao Tuo was in the north, and he was about to command the army to launch the Northern Expedition, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he naturally didn't feel anything.

This is the first time he has stayed at home, waiting for his child to be born, and his mentality is completely different, not to mention that this is his favorite daughter.

From now on, I have both children and daughters, and I am really happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yanyan."

Zhao Tuo stepped forward, held his wife's hand, and spoke softly.

Ying Yinyan's face was a little pale, showing her postpartum weakness.

Fortunately, it is the second child, and the state is much better than that of the first-time mother, and she has a shallow smile on her face: "I didn't expect you to really like your daughter." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled: "That's natural, I said before, if I Zhao Tuo has a woman, I should regard it as a pearl in my palm, and I love it very much." ”

"The pearl in the palm of your hand?"

Ying Yin chewed these four words, her eyes were bright.

Wait until the nurse takes her sleeping daughter away.

She leaned her head on Zhao Tuo's shoulder and said softly, "When I was born Che'er, you weren't by my side, I was scared. This time it's much better. ”

Zhao Tuo imagined the scene at that time, and his heart became more and more moved, he reached out and gently stroked his wife's cheek: "I will be by your side in the future." ”

The two relied on each other, and their hearts were warm.

After a while, Ying Yinyan suddenly laughed.

She looked at Zhao Tuo: "It's really amazing, when I was pregnant with a child last year, my sister-in-law said that if the two families were born with a son and a daughter, it would be a match made in heaven. I didn't expect that this was born in the end, and it was really a son and a daughter. ”

Zhao Tuo's expression immediately became gloomy.

The crown princess Li just gave birth to a child six days ago.

Boy.

Weigh eleven catties and five taels (Qin catties).

This weight was considered a fat boy in the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, this news also caused a wave among the ministers of Xianyang, which made countless people look sideways.

The First Emperor was overjoyed and personally went to the prince's mansion to visit for a while, which shows that he attaches great importance to this child.

Even Zhao Tuo was happy.

Fusu had a son, and the alternation of imperial power on behalf of the Qin State was more stable.

It is very important for a country to have a clear successor.

But now, hearing his wife's words, he was a little unhappy.

Ying Yinyan saw that Zhao Tuo's face was not good-looking, wrinkled her nose, and said: "The last time you talked about this matter, you were unhappy on the spot, and you didn't agree to this marriage. Why can't you say it, I think this is a real match made in heaven, why not? ”

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly.

Why not?

Let's not say that he is unwilling to arrange an arranged marriage, even if he really wants to arrange it, then he can't choose Fusu's son.

This is a close relative!

If you marry a close parent, you may have a child who is mentally handicapped or has some strange genetic disease.

This kind of risk, how could Zhao Tuo let his daughter bear it.

He looked at Yingyin's appearance and estimated that she was a little moved by this matter.

The ancients paid attention to "if you don't marry with the same surname, you won't have a baby", and there should be some understanding of the problems that will occur when close relatives marry and have children.

But it is only limited to cousins with the same surname and ancestry, and there is no particular attention to cousins.

Cousin marriage was a common occurrence in ancient times.

Even after 2,000 years, there are still "aunts and daughters, take them easily; Uncle wants, call across the river" and other folk proverbs.

In fact, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the government realized that cousin marriage was inappropriate, and issued relevant laws to prohibit cousin marriage, but in fact, such things still emerge in endlessly, and basically no one abides by the law.

Later generations have counted 957 couples recorded in the "Annals of the Qing Dynasty", of which 102 are cousin marriages, which shows that the prevalence of cousin marriages is uncontrollable.

Not to mention anything else, just Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in a famous book, they are proper cousins and cousins, and they are still sought after by a bunch of people.

Even if the heroine is replaced by Xue Baochai, then she and Jia Baoyu are also cousins and brothers. The whole famous book is about the marriage of close relatives, which shows how fierce the wave of cousin marriage is.

This was the case in the Qing Dynasty two thousand years later, not to mention that this was in the ancient Qin and Han dynasties, a great era when even nieces could marry their own uncles.

If the son of Fusu wants to marry the daughter of Zhao Tuo, on the legal and moral level, it is completely fine.

Zhao Tuo sighed.

His wife just gave birth to a child, and he didn't want to say more about it, but looking at Yingyinyan's appearance, if he doesn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it will make her keep her stuffy in her heart, and it's not good to have any postpartum depression or something.

"In that case, then I'll tell you about it."

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and began to popularize the knowledge of biological genetics to Yingyin.

……

The matter of the eldest princess giving birth to a daughter in her second child is also spread among the ministers of Xianyang.

This matter is related to the martial arts marquis of Great Qin, and naturally many people will pay special attention to it, so as to take the opportunity to send gifts and congratulations, so as to get closer to the relationship with the martial arts marquis.

Tingwei Li Si is one of those people who pays attention.

Li Fuzhong, he patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay! Shu'er gave birth to a son and the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter, and there were only six days before and after. Six, the auspicious number of Great Qin, this is exactly what the mandate of heaven did! ”

Seeing his father was very happy.

Li Yu frowned and said, "But father, I don't think this matter is much necessary." The crown prince is now in a stable position, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely ascend to the throne, and my little nephew is the new crown prince, and he will inevitably become the third emperor in the future. There is no need to set his marriage so early. ”

Li Si glared at him and said, "What do you know?" The position of the crown prince seems to be stable, but it does not mean that my grandson of Li Si must have a stable position. The crown prince is the prince of the country, and he will ascend to the throne in the future, so it is natural that there will be many concubines and concubines, and it is indispensable to give birth to other princes. ”

"Although the Qin State is in accordance with the patriarchal law, the primogeniture inheritance system is implemented, but the system belongs to the system, and everything depends on the emperor's will. Since ancient times, there have been so many countries that have practiced the patriarchal system, and there have been many kings who have abolished the long and the young. ”

"In ancient times, there were Jin Xiangong, Qi Huan Gong, and recently Zhao Wuling King and Zhao Mourning Xiang Wang, so you can guarantee that the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will not pamper other beauties, love the young son born to him, and give birth to the mind of abolishing the long and young?"

Li Yu swallowed.

His old father has a point.

I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened since ancient times.

For example, it has only been twenty or thirty years since Zhao mourned King Xiang's abolition of his eldest son Zhao Jia and made Zhao Qian the prince.

After such a close time, Li Si naturally remembers it clearly, and it is normal for him to have such worries.

Li Yu licked his lips and said, "Isn't there still a father?" My father is an important minister of the Qin State, even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, for the sake of my father, I am afraid he will not dare to do such a thing. ”

Li Si sneered: "What about after I die?" ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and a coldness crawled all over his body.

Oh, yes.

Li Sidu is already in his sixties, the crown prince is only twenty-five years old, and the first emperor is only in his forties.

So it is very likely that when Li Si dies, the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and at that time, who will be able to shelter him as the prince of the Li family?

Li Si hated to look at his son, and whispered: "Your brother has no future, and now he is going to engage in immortal cultivation, and he can't count on it anymore." You are also a person who has no ability, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, and has the mind of abolishing the long and young, I am not there at that time, you may protect the prince born to my Li family? ”

The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head and said: "What my father said is that it is an old way to take precautions, and my little nephew does have the need to marry the daughter of the martial arts marquis." ”

Li Si bowed his head and said: "Yes, the martial arts marquis has outstanding merits, not only is it valued by the current emperor, but even the crown prince also relies on him." In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be an important minister of the country. If I can see this good opportunity now, let my grandson marry his daughter-in-law, even if I go in the future, there will be no accident if there is a martial arts marquis to protect the prince of my Li clan. ”

"My Li Si's grandson, who is his son-in-law Zhao Tuo, will definitely be able to become the third emperor in the future, hehehe......"

Lees laughed.

He is already old, and seeing that he is in the court, he can't compete with the martial arts marquis.

His own son is also an unsuccessful thing.

Then settle for the second best thing and put your hope on the third generation.

My Li family's first and second generations are not as good as you Zhao Tuo, so it seems that the third generation.

The eldest grandson of the emperor has half of the Li family's blood, as long as he can successfully ascend the throne, then he Li Si is still a big winner in the court.

"So decided, the next time you go to the prince's mansion to visit the child, you will talk to Shu'er about this matter again, and ask her to persuade the prince to come forward. The crown prince and the eldest princess are brother and sister, if he mentions the marriage of his children, he thinks that the eldest princess and the martial arts marquis will not refuse. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Si's mouth hooked, and his eyes were full of confidence.

And this matter is also a great benefit to his martial arts marquis, and he agreed to this marriage. Not only can my Li Si's grandson successfully become the third emperor of Great Qin, but the daughter of his martial arts marquis will also become the empress of Great Qin in the future, and his grandson will become the fourth emperor, which is a win-win situation! ”

Li Yu admired his hand: "My father is far-reaching, and my son is extremely impressed." In two days, we will be able to visit the Prince's Mansion, and at that time, I will definitely persuade Shu'er to do this important thing and make this marriage matter as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm."

Li Si nodded, thought of something again, and sighed: "And your brother, who has been shrinking in the mansion for several months and not coming out, saying that he wants to follow the emperor to cultivate immortals, and he never goes out, which is not a thing." You go and call him, and let's go to the prince's mansion to have a look, that's also his nephew. ”
