"How can a trivial matter make Wu Niang so worried?" Xiao Ran didn't believe it was a trivial matter.
Although Xiao Ran lived more than a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for him to know Li Lizhi's thoughts.
Li Lizhi was very entangled. After thinking about it, she decided to talk to Xiao Ran.
Maybe Xiao Ran had a way to cancel the engagement and not embarrass his family.
"That's right, my engagement is coming soon!" Li Lizhi was still a little embarrassed.
Xiao Ran's mind was on the little princess during this period, and he almost forgot that Li Lizhi was going to get married next year.
"Wu Niang, this matter was decided a long time ago, and it was the parents' order. Why is it like this now? Don't you like it?"
Historical records show that Li Lizhi and Chang Sun Chong were very affectionate.
It is unknown whether Li Lizhi likes Chang Sun Chong, but at least she should not hate him.
If Chang Sun Chong is too unbearable, Li Shimin will not look down on him.
"I... don't want to get married!" Li Lizhi was very conflicted, "But this matter has been going on for many years, and my grandfather and mother are almost ready. Now I have to get married even if I don't want to."
Li Lizhi was helpless and looked at Xiao Ran.
There was still a last bit of hope in her heart, hoping that Xiao Ran would have a way to have the best of both worlds.
The engagement can be cancelled without embarrassing Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married!"
Li Lizhi shook her head, "It's not that simple. The reputation of the royal family will be affected, and there is also the element of political marriage..."
Solidate the status of the Changsun family.
"Is Changsun Chong Wu Niang's cousin?"
"Yes!" Li Lizhi suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Wait, does the young man know about this?"
Xiao Ran subconsciously looked at the little princess.
"Sizi doesn't know about this, Qinglan and Yushu can't say it either. The young master didn't contact other people. There can only be one explanation... The young master is from the Tang Dynasty!" Li Lizhi pointed outside the villa, "Is this the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Lizhi had this guess before, but was not sure.
Now Xiao Ran suddenly mentioned Changsun Chong, so Li Lizhi was sure.
"So the young master and I have the same language and the same writing, right?"
[The writing is not quite the same, but it's almost the same. Don't worry about it! If you are entangled with the writing, then there is no way to write. There is no Mandarin in the Tang Dynasty, and communication becomes a problem. 】
Xiao Ran scratched the back of his head and let it slip, which was caught by Li Lizhi.
"Wu Niang, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about your marriage first. I may have a way." Xiao Ran wanted to change the subject.
The little princess ran over happily, "Little Nangjun~ Look at the sheep~"
"Okay!" Xiao Ran picked up the remote control and turned on the cartoon.
Hearing the voices of Lazy Sheep and Happy Sheep, Li Lizhi couldn't help but look at the TV screen.
Then she retracted her gaze, "Young Master, is that right?"
Now Li Lizhi wanted to confirm this question.
"I guess so!" Xiao Ran knew that he couldn't avoid it, and Li Lizhi definitely wanted to ask the answer.
"So, do you know what happened later?"
"I know about the big things, but I don't know about the small things. I know about the Tang Dynasty through various materials. The Tang Dynasty is more than a thousand years away from my current world. Wu Niang, you probably understand that the things recorded in history books and unofficial histories more than a thousand years ago are all big things, and small things are generally not known to anyone."
"More than a thousand years... has it been so long?"
"Well, don't dwell on this issue, let's talk about your marriage."
Although Li Lizhi wanted to ask a lot of things, the most important thing now was the marriage.
Other things can be asked slowly later, there is a long way to go.
"Young Master, what can you do?"
"Chang Sun Chong is your cousin, you are close relatives, and close relatives are not allowed to marry in our area."
"Close relatives? Isn't it good to marry close relatives? It has always been like this, why not?"
It was the first time that Li Lizhi heard this statement.
"Close relatives are not allowed to marry here, they are not allowed to marry, and it is not legal."
Li Lizhi frowned, "Is there a law that explicitly prohibits it?"
"Yes! Close relatives are not allowed to marry!"
"Why is that?" Li Lizhi wanted to know.
"Children born from close relatives are prone to illness, premature death, congenital diseases, deformities, and even premature births. There are extreme cases where close relatives married and gave birth to seven or eight children, none of whom were normal, and all of them had more or less problems."
Li Lizhi was shocked and had never heard of such a statement.
"How could this be..."
"Wu Niang, think about it, if it wasn't too harmful, would it be banned and written into the law?"
The Tang Dynasty also had laws and decrees, which Li Lizhi knew very well.
Those that can be written into laws and decrees are all very important national policies.
"BeforeI have never heard of it. "
"No one realized this problem before. More than a thousand years later, with the development of medical technology and other technologies, these problems were naturally discovered."
Li Lizhi was also afraid that her future children would be deformed or have congenital diseases, and she dared not even think about premature births, dystocia, and premature births.
Li Lizhi knew more or less what dystocia and premature birth meant in the Tang Dynasty.
Giving birth in this era was equivalent to walking through the gates of hell.
The mortality rate was too high!
Every childbirth was life-threatening for pregnant women.
"I believe what the young man said. How should I tell my grandfather and mother about this? How can I convince them?" Li Lizhi understood that Xiao Ran was unwilling to confess his identity now.
Li Shimin knew that Xiao Ran was a man from the future, and he would definitely not be calm.
"This is actually not difficult. Wu Niang, send someone to investigate the fertility of couples married to close relatives to see if their children are normal, and then investigate the fertility of couples married to non-close relatives. ”
“Once you compare, you will know how big the harm is. I don’t know the specific proportion, because there are too few close relatives marrying here. I don’t know any close relatives marrying around me.”
Li Lizhi’s eyes lit up and she thought this method was feasible.
“This is not just for you, Wu Niang. Without close relatives marrying, the population of the Tang Dynasty will recover faster. The population of the Tang Dynasty is not large now, and the population is very important to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty must be aware of this.”
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the warlords fought for power and the population dropped sharply.
By the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was far from recovered.
Li Lizhi also knew that the population represented the national strength.
Li Lizhi smiled. If these could be considered, then this reason would be enough for Empress Changsun and Li Shimin to cancel the engagement.
And it would not be discussed by others.
Thinking that it could be cancelled legitimately, Li Lizhi was overjoyed.
“Thank you, young man! I know what to do! "Now Li Lizhi is confident that she can cancel the engagement."
"When Wu Niang investigates, investigate more. A larger base will make it more convincing."
Xiao Ran did not forget to remind Li Lizhi.
