At the Xincheng Railway Station in the southern district of Beijing, Liu Jin looked helplessly at Zhu Houzhao beside him.
The whole person had a look of displeasure on his face, he had offended someone, and he was basking in the sun at home, lying on the old man's chair, and was dragged directly to the train station by this guy.
The key is that Zhu Houzhao didn’t choose his concubine himself. The beauties he saw were all Zhu Houzhao’s classmates and had nothing to do with him. He was extremely unhappy!
Zhu Houzhao on the side was very happy and seemed very excited.
"Old Liu, let me tell you, when choosing the Prince's Mansion, what I look forward to most are the beauties from places like the Western Region and Nanyun Province."
"Hey, I heard that the beauties in these places are all tall and graceful. They are very different from us Han women."
Zhu Houzhao was holding a telescope in his hand. In his words, he had to take a closer look later. He had a wretched look on his face when he spoke, and there was nothing like the demeanor of His Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
"Actually, they are all similar. Turning off the lights is not the same."
Liu Jin curled his lips in boredom, Zhu Houzhao was a wild horse, and it was a good thing that Emperor Hongzhi had been imprisoned until he was eighteen years old. Otherwise, if he indulged in this matter too early, he would probably be the same as in history.
, not even a child.
Now there are more than a dozen pregnant women in the Prince's Mansion, and the ones who are about to give birth are all caused by this guy. However, neither Emperor Hongzhi nor Empress Zhang has any regard for Zhu Houzhao.
No matter what, it even means a bit of indulgence.
Empress Zhang, in particular, sent batch after batch of beauties to the Prince's Mansion, and was very strict with Emperor Hongzhi, but she was very indulgent towards her own son.
"You don't understand this. You have too little experience. The difference is huge."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin and said with disdain.
"..."
Liu Jin was speechless. In this regard, it seemed that he really had no say. Forget it, it was better not to ask for trouble. If he talked about this matter with His Highness the Crown Prince, he would probably be punished.
The imperial censor Yan Guan was impeached and died.
"Your Highness, here you come, here you come~"
At this time, Liu Jin hurried over and shouted happily.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he quickly picked up his telescope and looked towards the exit passage.
There are two entrance and exit passages at the train station, one is for ordinary people and the other is for VIPs. These girls from all ethnic groups who came to see the prince choose his concubine naturally enjoyed the treatment of VIP passages.
At this moment, on the platform of the train station, Anna stepped out of the train and looked curiously at everything in front of her. The huge train station, the trains and the dense crowds, everything was very fresh.
"This is the capital of the Ming Empire?"
After several months of long journey, we finally arrived in the capital.
"Everyone, come and gather, come and gather~"
Here, there are eunuchs from the palace, and the palace maids are responsible for receiving these girls from all over the Ming Dynasty at the train station. The girls gathered together and suddenly became the focus of the train station.
"Wow~so many beauties~"
"This one is prettier than the other~"
"Isn't that right? And the clothes they wear are more beautiful than the other. Who are they?"
No matter in that era, beauties always attract people's attention. When many beauties from the talent show stood together, everyone on the platform couldn't help but look at them, and then they all exclaimed in amazement.
Anna, Qiqige, Bahagul, and Gesang were all carefully selected. Everyone is very beautiful. Plus, wearing the costumes of their respective tribes, they look even more beautiful. They are amazing.
Attracted the whole audience.
"Everyone listen carefully~"
"I'm only going to say this once. When I go out later, everyone should follow me and don't get lost."
"Now that you have entered the palace, you are the people in the palace. There are many rules in the palace. There are still many things you need to learn. Everyone has some refreshments."
Anna looked around curiously, and at the same time listened carefully to what a eunuch was saying.
Soon, under the leadership of the eunuchs and palace maids, many beautiful ladies began to leave the train station through the VIP passage.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, here we come, here we come~"
"Hurry and help me take a look, hurry and help me take a look, that one is the most beautiful~"
At the VIP passage, Zhu Houzhao looked very excited. He looked carefully with a telescope, and at the same time he did not forget to ask Liu Jin for help and reference.
Liu Jin also looked over. In the VIP passage, with the arrival of the beautiful ladies, it suddenly turned into a colorful world of Yingying Yanyan, with all kinds of beautiful clothes, girls from various tribes, a gust of wind blew, and the fragrance
As soon as it hits, people feel like they are bathing in the best time.
"Tsk, tsk, they are really more beautiful than the other~"
"This boy Zhu Houzhao is really lucky."
He looked over casually and had nothing to say. Each one of them was one in a million, and any one of them was a stunning beauty. Liu Jin had to be envious of Zhu Houzhao.
"This is beautiful~"
“That one’s not bad~”
“The whole thing is really beautiful~”
"That smile is so sweet~"
"This looks very lively."
Zhu Houzhao was drooling while watching, with a pig-like look on his face, his eyes were shining brightly as he kept pointing at each beauties and praising them.
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao beside him, "You are lucky, but you don't look like the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty at all. Pay attention to your image."
"I finally understand why my father wanted to expand the territory. The benefits of expanding the territory are now fully realized. Wow, look at this girl from all ethnic groups. I finally understand why my ancestors have always been thinking about the Western Regions.
Already."
Zhu Houzhao sighed while watching it.
"……."
Liu Jin suddenly became even more speechless.
If you want to express your gratitude, you should also thank yourself. As for your father, if it weren't for me, your father would not be able to conquer the Western Regions. He wouldn't even be able to defeat the little Tatar prince in the north.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's continuous use of foreign troops was not to plunder beauties, but to expand territory and open up more living space. In your case, it was actually for beauties.
Emperor Hongzhi will probably be mad at you when he hears this.
But when he took a closer look at the beauties passing by in the passage below, especially those from the Western Regions and Nanyun Province, Liu Jin couldn't help but agree deeply.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this.
These girls from various tribes in the Western Regions and Nanyun Province are beautiful in appearance, graceful in figure, and have blue eyes. Compared with Han girls, they have a more exotic style.
Since ancient times, kingdoms are valuable, but beauty is priceless. There are countless emperors who love their kingdoms more than their beauties.
If the Ming Dynasty had not continued to use foreign troops and continuously expanded its territory, how could these beauties have come to the Ming Dynasty, and how could they have become the beautiful ladies of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao?
Of course, Zhu Houzhao is just one of the many beneficiaries.
The continuous expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the continuous use of troops externally, and the exchanges between various internal tribes also caused a large number of people to marry women from foreign tribes.
In the Western Regions, Hezhong, and Nanyun Province, a Han man often has several wives, and they all come from various tribes. They are also the beneficiaries.
Many people who immigrated to these places were originally bachelors and could not even marry a wife when they were in the customs. However, after immigrating there, they not only had land, but also cattle and sheep, and even marrying a wife became very easy.
This is the real benefit.
Not only the upper class rulers enjoy many benefits, but also the people at the bottom also enjoy the benefits.
Liu Jin thought of some things from later generations.
There are many people in later generations who worship foreigners. In order to go abroad or get a green card or something, some women with good looks, knowledge, and family backgrounds married some bad old men in Europe.
Even in China, foreigners are the most popular and sought-after products. I don’t know how many people are selling them, even Kunlun slaves.
If we study this phenomenon carefully, in the final analysis it is related to history and the country.
The Chinese people, whose backbone was almost broken, are extremely unconfident. There are too many people who worship foreigners. Many times, they are actually very good and powerful, but they are still not confident enough.
As for those Europeans and Americans, they have enjoyed many benefits because of this. They are obviously garbage, but when they are outside, they are treated as treasures.
This was the best explanation, and Liu Jin suddenly felt that what Zhu Houzhao said was right, and even made sense.
The Ming Empire continued to expand externally, winning one victory after another. It ruled a vast territory and possessed great strength. The people of the Ming Dynasty were synonymous with wealth, elites, and power all over the world. Ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty followed suit.
I don’t know how many benefits there are.
"Old Liu, I want all of these~"
Liu Jin was thinking about the significance of opening up new territories, but Zhu Houzhao was drooling over this, and then said very grandly.
"Cough cough, cough cough~"
"Your Highness, can you do it?"
Liu Jin immediately smiled and coughed a few times.
"Tch~ I want to have a hundred sons, how can I say no?"
Zhu Houzhao said very confidently, then raised his head and chest and said: "Humph, I also want to learn from my father."
"Learn from your father?"
Liu Jin was dumbfounded. Just now he said he wanted them all, and now he said he wanted to learn from your father, who only loved one person.
"Imitate my father's active expansion of territory, conquer more territories, and rule more tribes. In this way, my son will have more beauties to choose from when he chooses a crown princess in the future."
"I heard that European beauties are also very good, and I heard that African black pearls are also pretty good."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the many girls below, touched his chin and said.
"..."
"The reason for expanding the territory seems to be very sufficient."
