"Your Majesty, are Tan'er and the others really going to entrust them out?"
In Concubine Rou's palace, Concubine Rou carefully massaged Zhu Houzhao and asked cautiously.
The Ming Dynasty had regulations that prohibited the harem from intervening in politics. This was always implemented very well, and the emperor's power was always relatively stable. When it came to national affairs, the harem could not interfere.
"Um!"
"I am already in my early 20s, and it is no longer appropriate to stay in the capital."
"This time, all the adult princes will be enfeoffed and each will go out to establish his or her own vassal state."
Zhu Houzhao nodded. He had just fought a big battle, and now he was enjoying the beauty's tenderness. He was living a very comfortable life.
"Your Majesty, can you give Tan'er a better place?"
When Concubine Rou heard this, she immediately knew that this matter could not be changed. Her son would never have a chance to get involved in the throne of the Ming Dynasty. She could only settle for the next best thing and ask for a better place and a larger land.
"It's up to him to make his own choice."
"Liu Jin has roughly selected some places, Tianzhu, Nanyang, Black Earth Province, Golden Continent and Australia. These places will divide some areas for the princes to establish vassal states. He can go wherever he wants.
You have to think it through carefully, you won’t be able to change it after the enfeoffment continues.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Although he said that he had many sons and did not have deep feelings for these sons, no matter what, these were his sons, so he still had to behave like a father.
"Um!"
After Concubine Rou heard it, she immediately remembered it silently, and then started to use her coquettish skills.
"Your Majesty, can you give Tan'er a little more land?"
"If you go overseas, these places outside the customs are full of barbarians, and they are all in barren mountains and rivers. You will definitely have to endure a lot of hardships."
"Allocate more land and give more wealth to the family, so that we won't have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear overseas."
"Okay, okay, if you ask, of course I will agree, but you have to find a way to make it up to me."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the beauty next to him and immediately had a bad smile on his face. When Concubine Rou heard this, she immediately understood and snuggled into Zhu Houzhao's arms.
On the other side, at Queen Xia's place, Prince Zhu Zaicheng was also discussing some matters with his mother.
"Now the news has been confirmed. Your father will indeed be enfeoffing all the adult princes soon, and they will also be enfeoffed overseas and outside the customs. Mr. Liu Ge will be responsible for this matter."
"Now you can sit back and relax."
Queen Xia looked at her son, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart fell heavily.
The emperor had many sons, and the adult princes had yet to be enfeoffed. This caused many people to have thoughts and ideas that they shouldn't have, and they had some doubts about the position of the prince.
Now that this matter has finally been settled, you can feel more at ease.
"Um!"
Zhu Zaicheng also smiled and nodded. The status of the princes of the Ming Dynasty was very stable. Under the eldest son system of the Ming Dynasty, no one could replace his status. What's more, both Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Zhengde liked Zhu Zaicheng very much since childhood.
.
Zhu Zaicheng, the most important minister in the DPRK, also had many words of praise, which made his position very stable, and it is even more stable now.
"Your brothers will soon be divided into enfeoffments. As the prince, you can have a good time with them, but it will be difficult to meet them in the future."
Queen Xia looked at her son, thought about it and said.
"Yes, my child understands."
When Zhu Zaicheng heard this, he immediately understood that in fact, the gathering was just a superficial effort. What he really wanted to do was to reveal a message to the emperor and the ministers in the court, that is, the deep feelings between their brothers.
At the same time, he also wanted to show that as a prince, he thought and cared about his brothers. After all, the largest family fortune in the Ming Dynasty was given to him, and nothing else mattered.
"Although you are only a small county magistrate now, you must do it well."
"Back then, your father also started from a small county magistrate. After continuous experience, he first learned to govern one side, and then he could grow up step by step, and finally be qualified to govern the entire country."
"It is your duty to do well. You have to do well and do well. This is what a prince should be like."
"When your father was the county magistrate, he severely cracked down on the local bullies and gangsters. He also promoted the local cultivation of greenhouse vegetables, which promoted the development of Huairou County and made the people of Huairou County rich."
"You should learn more from your father. Learn more."
Queen Xia thought for a while and then gave instructions.
Although the position is extremely stable, you still have to show your excellence. As long as you don't take it on this day, there are still variables.
Only if you perform well enough and are well received by the public, your position will not be shaken.
"Yes, my child understands."
Zhu Zaicheng also replied quickly.
"In addition, you should learn more from your father, open up a wide harem, and have more concubines."
Queen Xia thought for a while and then said.
"Mother, haven't you always hated your father the most? Why do you still need your children to learn?"
When Zhu Zaicheng heard this, he immediately asked in confusion.
"It's one thing for my mother to hate you, but it is very necessary for you to do this."
"Although your father's harem has many women, the women in this harem do not come randomly. There are women from various tribes in our Ming Dynasty, as well as women from vassal countries."
"Although it was a woman who was sacrificed, from another aspect, this also strengthened the centripetal force of the tribes within our Ming Empire, and also strengthened the connection between our Ming Dynasty and other vassal states and vassal states, which greatly consolidated our
The rule of the Ming Empire.”
"You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince, and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You should also learn from your father, Dona's concubines. This can also gain the support of our various tribes within the Ming Dynasty, as well as overseas vassal states and vassal states.
support."
"In addition, your father already had dozens of sons when he was your age, but you only have three sons until now. On this point, the Supreme Emperor is very dissatisfied and wants to have more sons.
The branches and leaves are scattered, so that our Ming Dynasty will be more stable."
Queen Xia looked at her son. This son was an infatuated person. He had few beauties in the harem, and he doted on the princess very much. As a result, he didn't have many heirs.
I think that when Zhu Houzhao was at this age, he already had dozens of sons. The happiest thing about the Emperor at that time was this. He was much happier than Zhu Houzhao when he held his grandchildren every month.
"I understand, kid!"
After Zhu Zaicheng heard this, he thought about it and nodded before replying.
"Go ahead and get busy."
"Go and see your grandpa. He has loved you the most since you were a child. This is a rare time for you to come back. In fact, you should go and see your grandpa first."
"Well, I'll take my leave, kid."
Zhu Zaicheng left Kunning Palace and came to Cining Palace where Emperor Hongzhi and Queen Zhang were.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't want to leave the capital. My grandson doesn't want to leave you. He wants to stay with you all the time."
"Yes, Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't want to leave the capital either."
As soon as he arrived at Emperor Hongzhi's place, Zhu Zaicheng heard several princes crying.
"OK OK!"
"You are all grown up now. It's time to enfeoff and establish your own vassal state. This is always against the rules of our Ming Dynasty in the capital."
"At most, I will ask your father to allocate more land to you and prepare more wealth for you."
Although Emperor Hongzhi couldn't see clearly, it was very annoying to hear his grandchildren crying here.
When the prince grows up, he will be enfeoffed. This is a rule set by his ancestors. There is nothing he can do about it.
But thinking that these precious grandchildren of his were about to be separated and might never be seen again, Emperor Hongzhi also felt a little sad.
At his age, he has looked past everything except these precious grandchildren, granddaughters and great-grandchildren who are reluctant to part with him. Every day, princes bring their children to see him.
This made Emperor Hongzhi very happy. He originally had an extremely rich treasury, but it has been getting thinner over the years. If he and Liu Jin hadn't jointly invested in a large number of industries, which brought huge profits every year, Emperor Hongzhi might not be able to bear it.
Already.
There is no way, there are too many grandsons and granddaughters, and all of them are the favorites of Emperor Hongzhi. If there are more grandsons, there will be more great-grandchildren. These grown-up grandsons will also marry and have concubines one after another, and they will give birth to more great-grandchildren.
Already.
Every time a baby was born, he would be brought to the palace to see Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi naturally had to express his feelings, and it was normal for him to be rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry.
If it were in the past, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely not be able to get it, and he would be very embarrassed. Fortunately, there are a large number of industries jointly established with Liu Jin, which can bring a large amount of dividends and profits every year, which also makes Hongzhi
The emperor can hold up this facade.
"The prince has arrived!"
At this time, Xiaohuangmen shouted. When the other princes heard this, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Zaicheng saluted Emperor Hongzhi with a smile on his face.
"The prince is here!"
"Sit down, sit down, sit down."
Emperor Hongzhi was very happy. After all, his beloved grandson became busy after becoming the county magistrate, and he could only come back to see him this month.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
The prince and many princes also quickly saluted and thanked them, and then sat down respectfully.
"Prince, how are you doing here in Yutian?"
Emperor Hongzhi was very concerned about Zhu Zaicheng. Knowing that he was now the magistrate of Yutian County, he asked with a smile.
