Chapter 441: The Queen Mother's Ruthlessness
If the queen has no children, then Zhu Zaikun, as the eldest son of the emperor, is not without a chance to inherit the unification, but the queen is pregnant now!
Do you dare to say that the inside of Empress Xue's belly is not the emperor's concubine? Even if it's not, the queen is in her prime, and the emperor and the queen have a very strong relationship, so are you so sure that the queen can't give birth to a son?
Therefore, Zhu Houwei wants to make Zhu Zaikun the crown prince, but there is no door, unless Zhu Houwei completely overturns Confucianism.
And Zhu Houwei likes to reform, but what he reforms is maladministration, which will affect the policy of the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years.
It doesn't count or not.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei brothers are typical examples, Zhu Houzhao was not interested in the throne at all, but he sat on the throne, and finally became a complete faint monarch, and Zhu Houwei, who was full of ambitions, forge ahead, and wanted to change the Ming Dynasty, but he had no chance to win the throne because he was the second son.
In other words, the succession system cannot guarantee that the next generation of kings of the empire will be virtuous monarchs, but on the contrary, the coefficient of giving birth to faint kings and tyrants is much greater.
But Lixian?
How to judge the virtuous character, whether the virtuous is pretending to be virtuous, and whether the original form will be revealed after ascending the throne, even if it is not, can the other princes be convinced?
Emperor Kangxi abolished Yinren and finally caused the nine sons to seize the heir, and the bloody cases caused by the battle for the heir in history are countless, and the inheritance system of the eldest son is determined early, which can naturally eliminate the ambition of the rest of the princes, make the regime more stable, and will not cause countless deaths and injuries because of the battle for the heir.
Now the Ming Dynasty is still the eldest inheritance system, but Zhu Houwei expressed his intention to let Zhu Zaikun inherit the unification, and Concubine Zhuang's face turned white.
"The mother concubine said to her sons that her sons would be the princes of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and she also told her sons that she should get along well with her younger brothers and sisters, just like her father and uncle."
Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "My son misunderstood what his father meant, and what my father meant was to let my son raise a male army to expand the territory like his uncle in the future, and call his ancestors the emperor on the rivers and mountains he had defeated, not in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Zaikun obviously didn't think about it so far-reaching, and nodded ignorantly when he heard the words.
"My son will be five years old next year, and it's time to start school."
"Does Your Majesty want Zaikun to go to Yenching University to study?"
Zhu Houwei nodded and said: "As long as my prince and daughter reach the age, they must go to Yan University to study, this is a regular system, and in the future, my Ming royal descendants must also take this road, and they will not be awarded the title of prince if they cannot successfully pass the final examination in Yan University!"
Concubine Zhuang hummed, she has extremely strong confidence in her son, if she can't successfully graduate from Yan University with her intelligence, then who else in the world can?
But Concubine Zhuang didn't quite understand why those stubborn Confucian ministers would agree with the emperor to send the prince and daughter to Yan University to study, but the emperor didn't say it, and she didn't ask.
As a normal man, Zhu Houwei is not exempt from vulgarity, he naturally likes beauty, but his performance is not as explicit as Zhu Houzhao.
Awakening to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, is a man's ultimate dream, an emperor with a young shadow like his father Emperor Xiaozong is definitely an outlier, Zhu Houwei has no intention of being an outlier, but in the face of the request of the foreign dynasty to draft for him, and then open up branches for the royal family, he has always refused.
There are many women in the harem, there are many rights and wrongs, and there are so many things in the outer court, it is enough for him to drink a pot, where is there still the energy to deal with the harem that is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.
But Zhu Houwei felt that he liked exotic places, such as the two daughters of the King of Portugal......
For example, he likes beauties in the Western Regions, after all, there is a star from Xinjiang in later generations who was once the goddess of his dreams.
It's a pity that those bird ministers can't understand the Sacred Heart......
Two Korean aristocratic women have been in the palace for many days, and one of them, Li Lian, the daughter of Yan Shanjun, was once pregnant, but it was a pity that she had a miscarriage......
The women in the palace, even if they are just palace maids, theoretically belong to the emperor alone, but the difference between being famous and not being famous.
As long as the women of the harem are pregnant, they will inevitably be carefully cooked, because the fetus in the woman's womb is a dragon species!
So generally speaking, the probability of miscarriage is extremely low, or even negligible, unless it is an accident, and this accident is man-made nine times out of ten.
It's like Li Lian's miscarriage, Zhu Houwei knows very well that it is the Queen Mother's hand, and it is obvious that the Queen Mother does not want a woman of different races to conceive and give birth to an heir of a different race, but it is a pity that Li Lian herself doesn't know.
Zhu Houwei himself could only acquiesce, and then talked with the Queen Mother once, and even vaguely pointed out that if the Korean concubine gave birth to an heir, then she could go back to North Korea to inherit the Korean throne, which reluctantly dispelled the idea of the Queen Mother continuing to start.
But what is even more regrettable is that the two North Korean women are not very lucky, and the number of times they have been fortunate is not small, but their stomachs have not reacted......
"Have concubines and concubines ever been homesick?" Zhu Houwei looked at Li Lian and Park Huanhuan.
The two girls looked at each other and said slightly: "Some want to ......"
Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "There is an ancient saying in China called 'the rich do not return to the hometown, such as wearing brocade clothes at night', you are my concubines, and naturally you are also one of the most noble women in the world, if you are homesick, you can tell me, I will let you go back to save your relatives."
A ray of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two women, but then a trace of loss emerged, they were sent to the Ming Dynasty as a tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty as concubines, and they were responsible for gaining the favor of the emperor, and it was best to give birth to an heir, so as to increase the weight of the Korean royal family and deter those nobles who were ready to move and covet the throne.
Obviously, the two women have not been able to complete the task yet, Emperor Jiajing did not favor them, but he treated them well, or Emperor Jiajing was good to all his women, and they had no advantage at all.
As for the imperial heir...... Both women seemed to be in despair......
Because they know the temperament of men, men like the new and hate the old, like to be young and beautiful, and like to be pure and lovely......
There are indeed not many women in Emperor Jiajing's harem, but the emperor is only in his twenties, and he will be the emperor for decades, how many women will there be in the harem at that time, and in a few years, if there are more young women in the harem, these 'old and decrepit' women will definitely be abandoned by the emperor.
How can the two women not have a sense of crisis, they are women of different races, if they don't have the emperor's favor, they can really only be described as a day of never coming out in this harem.
So in the face of the emperor's grace, the two daughters finally calmly thanked the grace, and they had already made up their minds that they would never return to North Korea if they had no heirs!
Of course, Zhu Houwei didn't care about this little bit of caution, after having dinner in Changchun Palace, he returned to Qianqing Palace, and there were a lot of government affairs to be dealt with, how could he steal half a day of leisure......
