Chapter 164: Tribute Girl (First Update, Asking for Support)
Even after that, when I got up the next day, I was refreshed.
I don't know if it's the sequelae of the crossing, after every time he indulges, Zhu Mingzhong not only feels tired the next day, but even feels more energetic, but the more so, the more cautious he tends to be, and he won't indulge himself at all.
After all, indulgence was often the number one killer of the lives of ancient emperors. For Zhu Mingzhong, who wanted to see Da Ming standing proudly in the world on the day, he naturally would not let indulgence destroy his body. It is precisely because of this that he seems extremely self-controlled, and even this kind of self-control is a bit incredible in the eyes of Liu Ling, who is the queen.
At noon the next day, as before, he came to the queen's palace, and in the face of His Majesty, Zheng Ling once again put forward the words "The heirs of the imperial family are not prosperous, and Your Majesty should accept concubines".
"Your Majesty, concubines have never been jealous people, if it has been peaceful for a long time today, Your Majesty should enrich the harem so that the heirs of the imperial family can prosper, so that the country can be stable."
In the face of Zheng Ling's persuasion, Zhu Mingzhong only had one feeling in his heart - the ancients were really happy, in the 21st century, those so-called "pastoral feminism" They can't wait for the seventy-two heads of the three palaces and six courtyards, but they will never allow men to flutter colorful flags.
But in this era, it is different, even the queen will lobby His Majesty to take a concubine and open up branches for the imperial family, however, for the Ming Dynasty, it seems that except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial family has always been a small heir, and there is even a matter of the emperor favoring the queen and not accepting concubines. Even the so-called "million clans" are just jokes, a rumor, and even at the peak, there were only a few hundred thousand people. Moreover, the so-called clan not only includes their wives and concubines, children, but even married daughters.
Of course, no matter what happened in the past, the current Ming clan seems to be a little "withered", after all, as a large number of clans are required to stand on their own, and a small number of recognized ones have been sealed overseas, the Ming clans in China, in fact, only the imperial family remains.
Although Zhu Mingzhong has been "diligent" in recent years, in the eyes of many people, although His Majesty already has seven sons and six daughters, it is indeed not prosperous, and now the Ming Dynasty has established the basic national policy of "clan feudalism", so both the government and the opposition hope that the emperor's heirs can prosper, after all, compared with dividing the distant sect, it is more reassuring to divide the emperor's relatives.
Zheng Ling, as the queen, naturally understands this idea of the government and the opposition. In addition, she hopes that the imperial family can flourish, and she will be a screen for each other in the future, of course, she hopes that His Majesty can have more concubines and have more children.
"Your Majesty, since you have avoided the clan from affecting the people, my Ming clan is all feudal overseas, and His Majesty's heirs are bound to be feudal overseas, and now, except for the Qin Domain and the Gui Domain, the overseas sects are still close, and the others are already weak in blood, and in the long run, it is bound to be the blessing of the country, so the concubines think that for the long-term stability of the country, Your Majesty has to accept a new concubine."
Yo...... I can't accept a concubine, but it's actually linked to the stability of the country.
Zhu Mingzhong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he thought to himself in his heart.
"Is it possible that I have to be a stallion to be competent? This emperor is really fooled...... I have to do my best in bed......"
With such a bitter smile in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong didn't speak, just looked at Zheng Ling, looking at the girl who had saved his life.
Perhaps, the tolerance of the Zheng family now has a lot to do with the reverence for Zheng Chenggong, but in fact, it is entirely because of Zheng Ling. A few years ago, after the abolition of Zheng Kezang's Fujian throne, the reason why his younger brother was the king of Fujian was to protect the Zheng family of Fujian, and later named him Zheng Kechang as a duke. It's all because of Zheng Ling, whether it's as a wife or a queen, Zheng Ling is competent.
Now, she is lobbying for her concubine here...... What a woman!
"Your Majesty, in fact, there are many female officials in the palace, many of them are beautiful and beautiful, or Your Majesty intends to accept female officials as concubines......"
"Female officer?"
Of course, Zhu Mingzhong knows that there are many female officials who are beautiful and beautiful. In the past, maybe he would agree, but he shook his head anyway.
"The use of eunuchs can be said to be the maladministration of the past dynasties, and my Ming Dynasty has repeatedly had eunuchs interfere in politics, I abolished eunuchs, and waited in the palace with female officials and maids.
For those beautiful female officials, how could Zhu Mingzhong have no ideas, but ideas are ideas, and he always has some concerns.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you are worrying about nothing, even if you don't accept her as a concubine, in the eyes of the world, female officials also need to sleep, even if Your Majesty doesn't want it, the world thinks so, besides, his father and brother sent it to the palace, it is inevitable that there is no such idea......"
Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be a little hesitant, Zheng Ling said:
"Your Majesty, can you remember that a few months ago, the maid who came to pay tribute to the Yarkand envoy, and the concubine had seen it a few days ago, although her appearance is different from that of my Han people, but it can also be called a national color, Your Majesty might as well see it first."
Yarkand emissary?
Zhu Mingzhong immediately thought of the few Yarkand envoys he met two months ago, in fact, it was beyond his expectations that Yarkand would actually send envoys to visit, and the other party's tribute to the "handmaiden" was even more unexpected, after all, this was something that had never happened in the past.
However, it seems understandable that from the Yarkand envoys, it can be learned that they hoped to use the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Manchus and achieve the goal of balance, and for this purpose, they even sent a few handmaidens. But they knew that the Manchu Dynasty's westward expansion was Zhu Mingzhong's plan.
It's just that I haven't even seen them, they have been in the palace all the time, if it weren't for the queen's reminder, I'm afraid they would have forgotten those women.
Thinking of those Xinjiang beauties full of exotic customs in later generations, Zhu Mingzhong's heart couldn't help but move, since the queen didn't say anything, what did it matter if she saw her.
"Okay......"
Although it seems a little reluctant, Zhu Mingzhong also has some expectations, what will those Xinjiang beauties look like?
On the same day, after reviewing the recital in the study and dealing with various things, Zhu Mingzhong sat for a while, and when he wanted to go to Shi Zhao, he suddenly remembered Zheng Ling's words, Zhu Mingzhong thought about it, and then instructed the female official.
"To the courtyard of the maidens of Yarkand."
Although the palace is in accordance with the royal habits, there are various palaces, but in addition to Zheng Ling and Shi Zhao they live in the palace, the other concubines only have independent courtyards in the palace, of course, this is not discrimination, but a habit, for Zhu Mingzhong, compared to the magnificent palace, he prefers the garden villas hidden in the forest in later generations, and because of this, the whole style of the palace in the capital is completely detached from the traditional palace-style buildings such as the Forbidden City, fully drawing on the gardens of later generations, and the palace as a whole is more like a garden. The palace is hidden in the garden, which is full of famous trees and ancient trees, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and water pavilions dotted with the lake. Among them, there are dozens of villa-like buildings, large and small, and it is in these villas that Zhu Mingzhong finds a sense of home.
When Zhu Mingzhong walked towards one of the villas, in a villa by the lake, Aimir was sitting there, blinking his eyes, looking at the lake not far away, only to see that there were water birds flying over the lake from time to time, even though she had been here for two months, she was still curious about everything here.
In the dry climate of Yarkand, there is some humid weather here, which makes her a little uncomfortable, and she has not adapted to the weather here until recently.
"Hey, I don't know, when will I see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Again, Amir sighed in her heart, she was a noble lady of Yarkand, and last year the Khan had selected twelve beauties to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor, but to Agouil's disappointment, despite all their hardships, they had never had the opportunity to meet the Emperor at all.
"Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't see the emperor!"
Hanikez heard Amir's sigh, sat down on the sidelines, and spoke.
"We are here, nothing more than to learn etiquette, and then we can do whatever we want, isn't it good to have such a day?"
Although Hanikezi is just an ordinary Bayi's daughter, being in a foreign land has long made the two of them sisters.
Turning his head to look at Hanikez, Amir sighed softly and said.
"Hanikezi, such a day may be comfortable, but what is the difference between it and a bird in a cage? Besides, aren't we here to curry favor with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? However, the emperor even showed us face-to-face. ”
At this point, Amir almost didn't cry, and when she could barely hold back her tears, she heard Hanikez whisper to comfort her sister:
"Sister, you are so beautiful, as long as the emperor sees it, he will definitely be stunned by your beauty, believe me, it's true."
Hanikezi looked at her sister and then said.
"I heard those palace maids of the Ming people say that the emperor forgets to sleep and eat every day for state affairs. Although there are many beauties of all kinds in the three palaces and six courts, he rarely goes to other palaces. I think he must have been too busy to forget about our ,...... As long as the emperor sees you, he will definitely look at you differently......"
Will it?
Hanikezi looked at Amir with teary eyes in her eyes, and she continued:
"Sister, your appearance is very beautiful, I think, in the future, maybe if you have the opportunity, you should go out for a walk more, so that if the emperor sees you, he will definitely throw you on the bed immediately?"
Hanikez's words made Amir's face redden, and he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound. She understood that although this was only comforting, it still made her extremely useful, but even if she went out, would she be able to see His Majesty?
At this moment, I overheard the eunuch outside calling:
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Your Majesty is here!
