When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Jin with a smile, as if you can make it up, just make it up, I believe you will lose.
"Yes, the dwarf country."
"This dwarf country is here in Africa. The people in this dwarf country are very short. They are only three or four feet tall, about the same as monkeys."
"In addition to being very short, people in this dwarf country also have a very short lifespan. The average lifespan is only more than 20 years old. In addition, they are also very precocious. They are basically mature at the age of eight or nine and start to become parents.
Already."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I don't believe I can't fool you. You are still a little kid after all, although you are a bit precocious."
"There is such a magical country, in Africa, right? I must go and see it if I have the chance in the future."
After Liu Jin's description, Zhu Houzhao also showed great interest and waited patiently for Liu Jin's next words.
"This dwarf country was not actually a dwarf country at the beginning. Their ancestors were actually very tall and strong, but because of a bad habit, they slowly turned into a dwarf country."
Liu Jin knew that Zhu Houzhao had taken the bait, so he continued to speak.
"What bad habit?"
Zhu Houzhao asked quickly.
"There is a tradition in this dwarf country, that is, the age of marriage is very young, and the younger the better, so many times, children are exposed to those things before they are mature, and lose their yang energy early. This birth
The descendants of each generation are inferior to each other, and naturally and slowly it becomes a dwarf country."
"Not only are the offspring getting shorter and shorter, but because of the congenital lack of Yang Qi, people in this Lilliputian country are very easy to get sick and die, and their life span is very short. Generally, they can only live to be in their 20s before dying."
"So, being exposed to these things too early is definitely harmful and useless. I am doing this for your own good. You don't want your descendants to become dwarfs, right?"
Liu Jin's words are half false and half true, but this truth is not wrong, because this is something that was summarized by scientists and medical scientists in later generations. What is really bad about premature exposure? Liu Jin is just using the Lilliputian
Just give an example to exaggerate it.
"Dwarf?"
After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he shuddered after thinking about it.
Then he thought about it, rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Jin and said, "Are you lying to me? Just make up a story to fool me."
"What good will it do me to lie to you? Don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know a good heart. I'm doing this for your own good."
"If you check the historical data, the emperors of the past dynasties, in the middle and late dynasties, few of these emperors had prosperous heirs, while the founding emperors and the previous emperors often had flourishing branches and numerous heirs.
,Do you know why?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became anxious and said quickly.
"It seems like this is really the case."
"Then why is this?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought for a while and said, he is the crown prince, and he is taught by great Confucian scholars. He has learned a lot, among which history is naturally a must-learn. He also knows something about the past dynasties, so
I vaguely knew that what Liu Jin said was correct.
In particular, he knew everything about his own Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the country, had many heirs, including Zhu Di, but by the time of his grandfather Ming Xianzong, there were very few heirs.
When his father Ming Xiaozong came to power, he only had one son, not even a daughter.
Of course, this is also the reason why Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty only had one wife. In fact, Empress Zhang also gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Except for Zhu Houzhao, the other two died young.
"Why, of course it's because the emperors at the beginning of each dynasty were adults and in good health. Not only did they have many heirs, but most of them lived a long life. The emperors in the later dynasties were longer in the palace and longer in the hands of women. Naturally, they were inevitably exposed to premature contact.
Because of this, there are very few heirs, some even have no heirs, and none of them live long."
"The closer to the middle and later stages of a dynasty, the more likely and frequent the appearance of son-emperors, and the replacement of emperors becomes more and more frequent. This is the reason."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, and took out some things from history and said them. These are things with historical records, and Liu Jin is not talking nonsense. Of course, there are many emperors here, and the main reason for the frequent replacements is the loss of power.
, the emperor is easy to control, not because of this reason.
But now Liu Jin connects these things together, Liu Jin believes that even if Zhu Houzhao ignores and does not believe it, Emperor Hongzhi behind him will definitely believe it, and will seriously think about this matter, and then treat Zhu Houzhao
The strict supervision helped him.
Since ancient times, both at home and abroad, people at home and abroad have attached great importance to their descendants. This is especially true for the royal family. Every emperor hopes that he will have hundreds of descendants and a long line of descendants. When it comes to this aspect, it is definitely the most important thing.
The ancients paid attention to getting married and establishing a career early so that they could have offspring early, but few people noticed that early marriage has a huge impact on the body and offspring.
As the prince, Zhu Houzhao's every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes. There are countless people who want to rely on Zhu Houzhao to stand up. It is inevitable that some of them will try to please him in this way. After all, he is the only one who is Emperor Hongzhi.
His son, the only legal heir to the Ming Dynasty.
"Listening to what you said, it seems that this is really the case, and it makes sense."
Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, thought for a while and said.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm telling you this because you see me as your friend. You're still young, so you should have less exposure to certain things."
Liu Jin curled his lips, if he didn't like you, I wouldn't bother to care about you. You have to know that if you say these words, you might be beheaded. This emperor's affairs are not something that a common man like me can discuss at will.
It wasn't that the current Emperor Hongzhi was a good old man and easy to talk to, otherwise Liu Jin would really not dare to say this.
"Then you seem to be eighteen years old. Doesn't that mean you can take wives and concubines?"
"Old Liu, do you want me to introduce you to a few?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Go, go, I want you to introduce me to a wife, can't I find one myself?"
Liu Jin said as he got up that Zhu Houzhao came to see him for something. After thinking about it, he asked: "Tell me, there must be something for him to come to see me in this snowy day."
