The people present did not know this, but Zhang Feng's heart was as clear as a mirror. He smiled and explained, "What you said is not wrong. Everyone thinks that it is very good to marry close relatives, and it can prevent the family bloodline from being tainted. But do you know the harm of marrying close relatives?"
"There is harm in marrying close relatives?"
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng with a shocked face.
In his impression, many high-ranking officials were married close relatives, and there were also some clans with different surnames.
These guys still thought that there was nothing wrong.
Wait a minute …
It seemed not necessarily. The concubine of the Taiyuan Wang Clan Master's illegitimate son gave birth to a baby a few days ago, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the baby's head. Moreover, this illegitimate son seemed to have married his cousin.
Could it be that what Feng Zi said was true?
The others also looked at Zhang Feng with a doubtful face.
Because in their influence, many people were the products of close relatives. How could those people be fine?
When it came to Feng Zi's mouth, why did it become a sinful thing?
Li Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He looked deeply at Zhang Feng, trying to see something, but he could not see anything. He could only ask, "Feng Zi, is what you said true or false?"
Zhang Feng nodded heavily, laughing in his heart at the ignorance of the ancients. But thinking that he was also an ancient person, he could only explain, "There should be many examples of close relatives marrying close relatives around you, right? How are those people? Not to mention other things, at least half of the people who marry close relatives are mentally retarded. I can guarantee this. "
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and pondered.
Scenes of marriage in the past appeared in their minds.
The cousins of the Xin family …
The cousins of the Gu family …
The cousins of the Ji family …
These were all close relatives. Their children really seemed to have some problems. Not to mention all of them, at least half of them were mentally retarded. However, the other half seemed to be more intelligent than ordinary people. What was going on?
Li Shimin asked curiously, "Fengzi, I admit that what you said just now makes sense. There may be some harm in marrying close relatives, but what about those who have been intelligent since they were young?"
Zhang Feng smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Those who have been smart since they were young are just lucky, but they also have misfortune. That is, their lifespan is shorter than ordinary people. Anyway, there is no benefit in marrying close relatives. You just need to know this."
He didn't intend to explain too much. He couldn't possibly tell them about the genetic factors, the mutations that couldn't be produced by their descendants, and the harmful genes that were passed on to their descendants. Even if he did, the people present probably wouldn't understand.
However, Li Yuan was a bit stupefied. "Fengzi, just now, you talked a lot about the dangers of marrying close relatives. What exactly do you mean? Do you want to use this method to deal with the clan? "
"Old Master Li is still the one who sees things clearly."
Zhang Feng glanced at Li Yuan and didn't forget to praise him. Then, he glanced at everyone. "The dangers of close relatives that I said just now are just paving the way for the marriage restriction order. Think about it. Once the marriage restriction order is issued, what will happen if three of the families are not restricted? They will definitely worry that the marriage restriction order will fall on their heads one day. Although they are not afraid, it is not good to refuse on the surface. Therefore, they will definitely cherish the resources and madly let the people in the clan marry. In this way, it is inevitable that they will marry close relatives. Of course, this is a good thing for them. However, they don't know the dangers of marrying close relatives. As long as there are ten pairs, it is guaranteed that half of them will be mentally retarded. In this way, after a long time, the population of these clans will definitely decrease sharply.
Hearing this, Yu Shinan frowned.
Because he was somewhat dissatisfied with Fengzi's approach. Although the idea of marrying close relatives has not been implemented yet, if it is true, this is the idea of exterminating the clan.
There will definitely be a storm. If the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes know the truth that Fengzi is the mastermind, it will probably lead to huge revenge.
He looked at Zhang Feng worriedly and said, "Fengzi, your method is a bit vicious. If the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes know the truth, I'm afraid …"
Originally, Li Yuan was listening excitedly. When he saw Yu Shinan interrupt, he was immediately dissatisfied. However, it was not good for him to flare up. He could only faintly pander. "Boshi, this is your fault. It's not like you don't know what kind of people these people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are. Fengzi's plan …"
He glanced at Zhang Feng and seemed to have a guilty conscience. He coughed twice and said, "This plan is not as vicious as you said. Besides, marrying close relatives has been happening since ancient times. Fengzi just raised a point of view. It doesn't matter. Moreover, even if marrying close relatives is really harmful, will those clans be worried? They can't wait for the whole clan to marry close relatives. "
There was nothing wrong with these words. The words were rough but the truth was not rough. Even if the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes knew that marrying close relatives was harmful, they would probably not prohibit it. Because they thought that their bloodline was noble and could not be tarnished. Moreover, wouldn't half of them be smarter than ordinary people? Would the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes refuse such temptation?
