Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1279 You should treat everyone equally

"Old Liu, let me tell you, I will have a hundred sons in the future, and each of my sons will have a hundred sons, so I will have [-] grandchildren."

Just arrived in the capital, got out of the train station, and sat in the carriage. Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao chatted and chatted about the children.

In the end, this braggart didn't even make a draft, and he actually wanted to have a hundred sons and [-] grandchildren.

I'm afraid you don't know that you didn't even have a child in history, but there were a lot of women, wasting resources for nothing.

Of course, Liu Jin can only hold back these words in his stomach.

Speaking of this, Liu Jin also became worried.

This Zhu Houzhao is eighteen years old and an adult, but I don't know if he will be the same as in history, unable to give birth to a child.

If Zhu Houzhao had no descendants, would the Great Ming Dynasty be the same as it was in history, and in the end it would be cheaper for Zhu Houcong, the Taoist priest.

If this is the case, will it cause fluctuations in the current development of Daming?

To be honest, Liu Jin likes Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao. He understands their personalities, and also knows their temper and character. Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao are actually very easy to get along with. They are kind-hearted and nostalgic. They also have a good relationship.

But Zhu Houcong, he is suspicious by nature, lacks great wisdom, is full of petty cleverness, and is the most skilful at plotting emperors. Working under him is definitely not as comfortable as working under Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao.

"It would be great if Empress Zhang could give birth to a son."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also showed a trace of worry about the future, but soon saw the heartless Zhu Houzhao next to him and couldn't help laughing again.

This guy will be eighteen years old after the new year, and he is still a boy now. It is estimated that it will not be like in history, because of premature contact with men and women, resulting in infertility.

Looking at his lively and energetic appearance, it is estimated that there will be no problem in giving birth to ten or eight children.

"Your Highness, Lord Liu~"

"Your Majesty and the empress announce you to enter the palace~"

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao had just returned to Liu Jin's residence, and were about to visit the vegetable greenhouses in the suburbs. Xiao Huangmen, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over to convey Emperor Hongzhi's will.

There is no way, the emperor said a word, and the next step broke his leg, and he had to rush into the palace to face the saint.

In the study room, Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Zhang Mao discussed for a long time about the selection of the crown princess, and the relevant systems and principles have basically been finalized.

"See father and mother~"

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Empress Empress~"

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin came to Shang's study and saw everyone chatting happily around the fireplace. Liu Jin was already guessing what they were talking about.

"You guys came just in time~"

"We are discussing the selection of the crown princess."

"The crown prince will be eighteen years old next year. He has already grown up and should marry a wife and have children. The affairs of the crown prince are the affairs of the country, and they are related to the country and society of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I and the queen are also discussing and discussing with everyone."

Emperor Hongzhi also said with a smile when he saw the two of them.

"what?"

"Choose the princess?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded.

Don't look at how he was clamoring to have a hundred sons just now, but when he really wanted to choose a princess for himself, he was a little unhappy.

"Women are all tigers, what's the point~"

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said that when he was in the research institute, he had contact with many people. In addition to research, he sometimes talked about this aspect.

And many people in the research institute are strictly controlled by their wives at home, and they are very afraid of their wives, so Zhu Houzhao, who hangs out with them every day, has also seen scenes of tigress go crazy several times.

Now when I heard that I was going to choose a princess for myself, I also remembered that scene, and suddenly felt boring.

"Stupid boy, if you are a boy, you will be married if you are a girl. You will be eighteen soon. If you were in the private sector, many people's children would already be able to play soy sauce."

When Queen Zhang heard this, she immediately said with a straight face.

"Okay, okay~"

"Just choose. Remember to choose more. When the time comes, I will choose what I like. I don't want what you choose."

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said.

"Okay, it's up to you."

When Queen Zhang heard this, she immediately agreed happily.

"..."

Liu Jin on the side was speechless for a moment. This guy is a well-known debauchery master in history, and his reputation is really well-deserved.

Fortunately, I have been in the military academy for a while, and then immersed in research in the research institute, if it is like in history.

Surrounded in the palace every day, the eunuchs around him would do anything bad to please him. It is estimated that this guy is now lawless.

Studying in a military academy and doing research in a research institute, only the eunuch Liu Jin was with him, and the others were normal people, so Zhu Houzhao would not let Zhu Houzhao learn to be bad.

"Liu Aiqing, the selection of the crown princess is related to the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the future of Ming Dynasty. It is a matter of great importance. We have also discussed it for a long time. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, but said nothing.

It's fine that I only have Empress Zhang as a woman. I can't ask my son to learn from me. If he wants to choose a few more, he can just choose a few more. It's normal for the Emperor's Sangong Sixth Courtyard and so on.

He turned to look at Liu Jin, wanting to hear some of Liu Jin's views and opinions.

"Your Majesty's discussion with the empress and the princes in the court must be a perfect strategy. I have nothing to add."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin quickly replied.

The leader asked you to express your opinion, so don't really express your opinion stupidly, and Emperor Hongzhi has already said it just now, they have discussed it for a long time, and obviously, it has basically been settled.

"Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be modest~"

"The queen specially appointed you. She said that you are a child of a high-ranking person, so you must have some good suggestions."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.

"That's right, Liu Aiqing is resourceful and has a long-term vision. The matter of choosing a concubine by the crown prince is of great importance. I still want to hear your opinion."

Queen Zhang followed suit and said that the harem of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in politics. This policy was implemented very well from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Don't go into Shang's study room.

"Choosing a crown princess is a major event related to our country and society, and it is also a matter related to my Ming Dynasty for generations to come. We must attach great importance to it."

"It's not just as simple as choosing a princess, it's related to every aspect of my Ming Dynasty."

Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang said, Liu Jin pondered for a while, and then spoke after thinking about it.

Regarding the matter of the crown prince's selection of concubines, Liu Jin only knew that it was very strict. At the same time, he also knew that in order to perpetuate the tradition of not being involved in politics in the harem, all the queens, concubines, etc. in the harem were selected from ordinary families.

This system has been continued. In the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a harem meddling in politics and foreign relatives in power. In the sky, arrogant and domineering foreign relatives such as the Zhang brothers have appeared, but they have no power themselves and pose no threat to the stability of the country. .

"Today's Ming Dynasty is different from the previous Ming Dynasty, and it is also different from the past dynasties."

"Today's Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a vast territory. It is not only our Han people who live in this vast territory, but also a large number of tribes."

"I think that the selection of the crown princess is a good opportunity. We can use this opportunity to consolidate our Ming Dynasty's rule over various territories, and we can also use this opportunity to strengthen the relationship between our Daming Han people and other tribes."

"In the past, the crown princesses were selected from the people of the Han family from all over the Ming Dynasty. This time, I thought that some outstanding women could also be selected from all the tribes and regions of the Ming Dynasty."

"It is even possible to select some from my vassal states North Korea, Japan, etc., so as to consolidate and strengthen my Ming's ties and feelings between various regions, tribes, and vassal states."

Liu Jin's words fell among the crowd like a blockbuster.

"No, absolutely not~"

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. How can I, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, choose a foreigner as my concubine?"

Liu Jian quickly stood up and expressed his opposition.

"That's right, if these foreign women are allowed to enter the palace, wouldn't the bloodline be messed up in the future?"

Li Dongyang also shook his head and said.

"Liu Gong, Li Gong~"

"Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the original Ming Dynasty with only two capitals and thirteen provinces. It is a Ming Dynasty with Liaodong, Grassland, Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun, Nanyang, Australia, Golden Continent, and a large number of vassal states and colonies!"

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is not only the emperor of our Han people, he is the emperor of the grassland Mongols, the Uighurs of the Western Regions, the Usun people, the Kazakhs, the Tibetans of Uzbekistan, the Caucasians of Nanyun Province, and the Georgians. , and also the emperor of the Wa Kingdom and the Korean people."

"Emperor Taizu held the first imperial examination, but most of the candidates who participated in the imperial examination were candidates from the Jiangnan area. Emperor Taizu said angrily, is this only half of the country of Ming Dynasty?"

"It's the same now. Are there only these two capitals and thirteen provinces in my Ming Dynasty? Are the people of my Ming Dynasty limited to Han people?"

"Electing foreign women into the palace is a means to show that my Son of Heaven treats all subjects equally. At the same time, it can also strengthen the relationship between my Ming Dynasty and North Korea, Japan and other vassal states."

"At the same time, the crown prince chooses his concubine from all over the country and various tribes to set an example for the people of the world, so as to promote exchanges and exchanges between each other and promote integration."

"Of course, the crown princess and the important concubines must be selected from among us Han people. There are differences between the concubines and concubines, and we still have to distinguish them."

Hearing Liu Jin's explanation, everyone nodded slightly, especially Emperor Hongzhi. His biological mother was not Han, but the daughter of a native official in Guangxi. Counting, he was only half Han.
