The ministers looked at Emperor Hongzhi and were speechless. This was a perfect transformation into a daughter slave. He had just been born and was already thinking about a good place for the little princess to be canonized. And it seemed that when the time came,
It will definitely be necessary to carve out a large area.
So much so that all the ministers present were thinking about whether they could marry Emperor Hongzhi and then get a large piece of land for free.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty had a special rule. The emperor chose wives from ordinary families, and the princess married from ordinary families.
In the words of comrade Lao Zhu, it means coming from the people and going back to the people again.
Of course, this is actually a way to prevent the relatives from getting bigger. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was no harem intervening in politics, and there were no cases of relatives intervening in politics. The worst possible outcome would be the emergence of arrogant and domineering relatives like the Zhang brothers, but for the government and the opposition
It has no impact.
This rule harmed the princesses of the Ming Dynasty. Many times, the eunuchs who were ordered to choose the prince-in-law were bribed, so that the princess was married miserably. For example, Princess Yongchun of the Jiajing Dynasty married an ugly bald man. Fortunately, this man
Although ugly, she was still very kind to the princess. Princess Yongning of the Wanli Dynasty married a tuberculosis man who gave money to bribe eunuchs. She died on the day of the wedding and remained a widow all her life, and finally died in depression.
It can be seen that the fate of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty was often in the hands of the eunuchs. Of course, most of the princesses of the past dynasties did not have a very good fate.
It was a routine operation for the Han Dynasty to be forced to make marriages. In other dynasties, it was used by the emperor to win over ministers, consolidate the rule, or to make foreign marriages, etc. In short, there were few happy ones, and this princess was actually not easy to marry.
, there are too many rules, and most capable people don’t want to marry a princess.
"Everyone, tell me, which place is better?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked around, but he didn't know which place to choose, so he had to look at the ministers present.
"Your Majesty, I think this Golden Continent is actually quite good. It has fertile land, rich resources, and is full of gold and silver."
Li Dongyang thought for a while and stood up and said.
"No, no~"
"First of all, this Golden Continent is too far away. Now that I'm married, it's hard to even go back to the capital. Secondly, it's a wild place. You'll definitely suffer if you go there. No, no~"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I think Liaodong is very good. It is close to the capital and convenient to travel to. It is also very rich and has been developed now."
Liu Jian thought for a while and suggested.
"You can't go out to Liaodong, and it's quite close to the capital. Even if it's too cold, it won't work."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, this Western Region or the Hezhong area is very good. It is a rich and fertile land. It will be connected to the train in the future, and travel will be extremely convenient."
Zhang Mao followed the suggestion.
"The rivers in the Western Region are quite good, but these places are not stable enough and have too many tribes, so they are not good~"
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head again.
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi wished he could find a perfect place where everything would go as he wished. In such a huge Ming Empire, it seemed that it would be difficult to find a place that would satisfy Emperor Hongzhi.
"Liu Jin, do you think that place is good?"
Emperor Hongzhi vetoed the proposals of several ministers one after another. The other ministers looked at each other and thought that when this was a headache, it was better for Emperor Hongzhi to think about it slowly.
Anyway, it is difficult to find a place that satisfies Emperor Hongzhi at this moment.
Emperor Hongzhi saw that no one suggested it, so he looked at Liu Jin and said.
"Your Majesty, I think Nanyang is very good. It is rich, not cold, has picturesque scenery, is like spring all year round, and there are many kinds of fruits."
"Her Royal Highness, if she eats more fruits from now on, she will definitely be very beautiful."
Liu Jin looked at the map and said very casually, really very casually.
Nanyang is really a wonderful place, with many islands, numerous coastlines, beach beauties, coconuts, durians, etc. Isn’t it delicious?
"Nanyang?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately looked at the location of Nanyang on the map. While looking at it, he said: "It is a good place, but it is a bit far from the capital, so it is a bit inconvenient to go back and forth. However, it is good for the girl to eat more fruits.
Makes sense.”
"Nanyang is Nanyang~"
"Well, let's grant the title of Princess Nanyang and give her this entire island as a fief."
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and drew a large circle in Nanyang, including hundreds of islands.
"Tear~"
Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's big hand drawing circles, all the ministers couldn't help but take a breath.
Emperor Hongzhi was so generous that he included hundreds of islands at once. This can still be shown on the map. They are basically big islands. Some of the island areas on it range from Nanyang Province to Australia.
area, the big islands are even bigger than Ryukyu Island.
"It's really a big deal. I don't know who will benefit from it in the future~"
Liu Jin's eyes turned red as he looked at the large area designated by Emperor Hongzhi.
There are many islands in this area, and they are all big islands. Not to mention other things, just by building plantations on these islands, you can live a peaceful life in the future.
What's more, these islands have many resources, including gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, and various rare resources. They are also the most important spice producing areas in Southeast Asia.
"Princess of Nanyang~"
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head slightly. The territory of the Ming Dynasty continued to expand, and the titles of the royal princesses also changed. In the past, they were Princess Anning, Princess Anqing, etc. In the future, they are probably Princess Nanyang, Princess Australia, Princess of the Western Regions, etc.
Waiting or something like that.
While Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers were discussing the title and fiefdom of Xiaogongju, on the other side, at the Prince's Mansion, several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital were also ordered to come to diagnose the prince's beauties.
"Congratulations, congratulations~"
"This is the happy pulse~"
After the imperial doctor completed the diagnosis, he said to the beauty in front of him.
"real?"
When Jin Enhui heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.
She was originally a tribute girl from Korea who paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Later, she was transferred to Zhu Houzhao by Empress Zhang. She entered the prince's mansion and served the prince Zhu Houzhao with other tribute girls from Korea and Japan.
I never thought that I would win the lottery all of a sudden and be pregnant with the dragon seed of His Highness the Ming Dynasty Prince.
Since ancient times, a mother has been valued by her son. If she can give birth to a son and a half for the Prince of Ming Dynasty, her status will be stable and her life will be easier. The most important thing is that it will be of great help to her own family.
If the son is born, he will at least be granted the title of a prince in the future, like the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. He can also go overseas to establish vassal states and live a good life.
You must know that this is the dragon species of His Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty, not from Korea.
How could Jin Eunhui not be excited at this moment?
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have been practicing medicine for decades. I can still tell whether this is a happy pulse."
The imperial doctor replied again with great certainty.
"Okay, okay, there's a reward~"
Jin Enhui received a positive reply and quickly ordered the maids around her to reward the imperial doctor. At the same time, she also ordered people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the good news back to North Korea to tell her family.
She was born into a family of North Korean officials, and her father was also a minister in North Korea, with a fairly high rank.
"Congratulations, noble man, this is your happy pulse~"
In another courtyard, an imperial doctor also said to the beauty in front of him.
"real?"
Ashimiko was also very surprised when she heard this.
She was a tribute girl from the Japanese state to the Ming Dynasty. She was of noble origin and came from the Ashikaga family of the Japanese shogunate. The Ashikaga family wanted to please the Ming Dynasty, so they also sent Ashikaga, a famous beauty in the family, to the Ming Dynasty as a tribute to the Ming emperor.
I never thought that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not like beauties. I originally thought that I would be a widow in the Ming Dynasty Palace for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, I was rewarded by the Empress and given to the prince, and now she is pregnant with the prince's child.
This is of extraordinary significance both to Ashiko personally and to the Ashikaga family far away in Japan. Once a boy is born, he will at least be the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
If you are lucky enough, you might be able to ascend the throne of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this possibility is very low. The people of the Ming Dynasty will not let a prince with foreign blood become the emperor.
Moreover, Ashimiko was just a beauty favored by the prince, not a concubine, nor a crown prince. The child she gave birth to was considered a concubine, not a legitimate son.
But no matter what, this is also the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty royal family, with a distinguished identity and status. Even if things don't work out, they can go overseas to create a vassal state and become the king of a country.
"Don't worry, I have been practicing medicine for decades. I can't be wrong about whether this is a happy pulse."
The imperial doctor also said very definitely.
"Okay, big reward~"
Ashimiko got a positive answer and said happily. Next to her, the maid who came with her from Japan also immediately took out a few silver notes worth one hundred taels and rewarded the imperial doctor.
The news soon reached Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Hongzhi.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty~"
"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince, congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince~"
When Xiao Huangmen came to announce the good news to Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao were playing with the Nanyang princess.
Hearing the sound of announcing the good news and looking at the small yellow door announcing the good news, I was also slightly startled.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, news just came from the East Palace. Three beauties in the East Palace are pregnant. Your Majesty will soon be able to hold your grandson."
Xiao Huangmen looked at the two people who were slightly dazed, and quickly continued.
"Ah, that's it?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was slightly startled. After all his hard work, he suddenly had three?
