In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 292: Give it to a noble concubine at most

"Your Majesty is an immortal hero, and it is only a matter of time before he leaps to the south of the Yangtze River. Why should you care about this and embarrass me, a woman who has subjugated her country?"

Zhang Yan naturally understood that if this matter was true, logically she should stand up and accuse the southern civil servants and generals and King Pan. But once she did so, her reputation would be over, so she sighed and said, said.

"Haha, I'm not trying to embarrass your empress, but I know better than anyone whether Chongzhen left any edict to pass on the throne. Now that someone is falsely passing on Chongzhen's imperial edict, shouldn't your empress stand up and tell the truth?"

Lin Rui chuckled. He really didn't take the rabble and clowns in the south seriously, but it was good to disgust them in a righteous way. Let's see if they still have the shame to flaunt themselves as loyal and patriotic gentlemen in the future.

Zhang Yan's cheeks felt hot as she was forced, and she didn't know how to refute, so she simply remained silent.

Lin Rui also knew that if he really wanted to force her to accuse the five Pan kings and the civil and military officials in the south of being treasonous and rebellious officials, he would most likely force her to commit suicide.

So he lowered his tone and said, "Is it possible that your Majesty still hopes that the rabble in the south can continue to conquer the Ming Dynasty?"

"Well, the empress only needs to stand up and prove that Chongzhen did not leave any inheritance edict, how about it?"

"Okay, but the matter of Juan'er entering the palace..."

Zhang Yan only hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then said tentatively.

If the South could work together to support an emperor, she would rather commit suicide than stand up to prove it. But now she has no hope for the South. She might as well try her best to help Xing'er, Duo'er and the others find peace, prosperity and wealth in their lives. .

"Do you think it is appropriate for the little princess to enter our Chinese harem?"

"Nao'er is a subjugated princess. Does King Hua think she has any other choice besides entering the harem? Even if His Majesty is generous, who would dare to marry a subjugated princess?"

Zhang Yan asked back, with a touch of sadness in her tone.

She made a decision after careful consideration to let Juan'er into the harem, because she felt that Lin Rui could not let go of the subjugated princess. The reason why she did not include her into the harem now was because she wanted to gain a good reputation, and secondly, she was not as good as Juan'er. I am still young this year.

Rather than being forcibly included in the harem by Lin Rui in a few years, it would be better to enter the harem directly while the harem has no owner, so that Xinger and the three of them can be completely worry-free in the future.

After all, Lin Rui says he is good now, but who can say whether he will change his mind in the future?

Even if he doesn't change, who can guarantee whether future generations will choose to get rid of this hidden danger?
The key is that Lin Rui now has neither a queen nor an heir. Once Juan'er is named queen and gives birth to an heir, if she can inherit the throne in the future, it means that the emperor of the new dynasty will still have half of the blood of the Zhu family.

Although in history, it is basically impossible for a subjugated princess to give birth to an heir for the new emperor and be established as a prince. However, due to Lin Rui's unprecedented peaceful handover model, from a legal point of view, the Ming Dynasty and the Hua Kingdom were not destroyed. Hateful.

It was the Ming Dynasty that died, and Lin Ruicai went to the city to establish a new dynasty. Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were not forced to die, but they chose to die for the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yan let Princess Kunxing enter the palace and had some illusions. After all, the founding heroes of China had no blood feud with the Zhu family, and there was no need to exclude the princesses and princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Rui's other women are too uncompetitive. Almost all of them have fatal flaws. It is difficult to gain the recognition of scholars all over the world if they want their mother to be the best in the world.

"It turns out that the empress speaks quickly, so I will get straight to the point. I will give the little princess the position of a noble concubine at most. The queen does not need to think about it."

Recalling the little princess's delicate and beautiful face, Lin Rui didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

As for Princess Kunxing, he will indeed take her into the harem sooner or later. After all, the founding emperor of the country does not even have a beautiful woman with status in the harem. It is indeed too embarrassing and not worthy of his status as an emperor.

"Excuse me for talking too much, but does your Majesty really want to canonize Na Muzhong as the founding queen of Great China?"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Rui with a surprised expression.

"Yes, that's what she deserves. I promised her back then."

"Your Majesty is so talented and has great plans. You should be aware of the huge hidden dangers of appointing a Mongolian woman as your queen, right?" Zhang Yan also didn't expect that Lin Rui, the founding emperor of the country, would be so attached to love and justice that he would not hesitate to risk the rule of the world. It was really a bit shocking to have a Mongolian woman as queen.

"Of course I know this, but what can I do? Who dares to really object? Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?"

Lin Rui opened his eyes and waved his hand domineeringly.

The reason why he was able to achieve hegemony in just eight years was because Namu Zhong played an absolutely huge role.

It was because he grabbed the Namu Bell. With the help of the Namu Bell, he subdued thousands of Mongolian cavalry within half a year. Then, with the help of the Mongolian cavalry, he entered Datong, Xuanfu, and recruited Han people on a large scale. Later, with the help of the Han people, he annexed Only then were the various Mongolian ministries able to snowball and lay a huge foundation in a short period of time.

So even though Na Muzhong was just greedy for his body, Lin Rui still wanted to give her a queen. After all, he also wanted Na Muzhong to lead his troops south and help him unify the world.

However, Lin Rui also knew that he could forcibly canonize Na Mu Zhong as queen, but their children would not be able to inherit the throne.

The Han people in the world can hold their noses and accept a Mongolian woman as her mother, but they will never accept a half-Mongolian prince inheriting the throne.

Not to mention others, even he himself couldn't accept it. After all, he was an authentic unified dynasty of the Han people.

Not to mention in the feudal and conservative ancient times, even in modern times, the leader must be a pure Han Chinese descendant of Yan and Huang.

If Lin Rui really dares to let Na Muzhong's child inherit the throne, after his death, future generations will definitely beat the dog's brains out. This is almost certain to happen.

Therefore, although Lin Rui plans to canonize Na Mu Zhong as queen, if the two of them have a son in the future, he can only canonize him overseas to establish a country.

There is nothing that can be done about it. It is impossible for him to leave such a huge hidden danger to future generations.

"His Majesty attaches great importance to love and justice, which is really admirable, but as the saying goes, a mouth to guard against the people is like guarding against a river."

"Okay, I don't need you, the queen of a subjugated country, to remind you. I know exactly what you have planned. Let me just tell you straight away. From now on, when it comes to the inheritance of the throne of our country, we will not establish virtuous people but not senior officials, and there will be no legitimate concubines. All princes are treated equally and have opportunities."

Lin Rui waved his hand. To be honest, as long as the heir to the throne was a pure-blooded Han Chinese, he really didn't care whether he had the blood of the old Zhu family or not. They were all his descendants anyway.

"But the little princess is only 12 years old this year, right?"

"Thirteen."

"Too small." Lin Rui shook his head, and then ordered the palace maid to bring the portrait over, pointing to the graceful and plump figure on it, and asked: "May I ask, is this a little princess? Who painted this?"

Although this portrait is similar to Princess Kunxing in appearance, the figure is completely different.

"It was painted by me. My pen and ink are not good, so there are some discrepancies. Please forgive me!" Zhang Yan did not expect Lin Rui to hold on to this point, so she had to explain.

"Isn't this just some discrepancy? It's simply bullying. I think the portrait is of the empress herself, right?" Lin Rui looked at her up and down, and the more he looked like her.

Zhang Yan also felt guilty for a while, and nodded quite awkwardly. Duan'er had not yet grown up, and there was no one else to look for when painting, so she had to learn from her own figure. To say that she was deceiving the emperor, it was indeed justified.

Lin Rui, however, was minding his own business, taking the portrait and admiring it again, and looking at her for comparison from time to time.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Yan didn't know what he was planning, so she lamented and advised: "Why does your Majesty need to make use of the topic? Your Majesty is a holy king, why do you need to imitate those debauched and unprincipled kings? What if your reputation is ruined?"

"Now that the words have been spoken, I won't hide it anymore. I like this painting very much. Please give me a happy word!"

Lin Rui didn't expect Zhang Yan to speak so directly, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, but now that he had said it, he no longer pretended to be a gentleman.
