Chapter 573: The Colonial Curtain
In the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Pei Jia quietly wiped her tears, and the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Zaiyu, shrank in the arms of his mother, a little panicked and a little dazed.
On the other side is Concubine Jing, and the second son of the emperor Zhu Zaiji stands beside her.
If you want to say that the most non-existent person in this palace is probably the concubine, this woman who tied a heart to Zhu Houwei because of a poetry meeting, and finally waited for seven years to come to the end, and now she is also full of vicissitudes.
He is the oldest among the concubines, and she is also at the bottom in terms of appearance, so even if she is a concubine, Pei Jia has always been low-key, but the emperor did not favor one over the other, and did not live up to her infatuation, so that she gave birth to a dragon heir.
The harem woman with the imperial heir is undoubtedly lucky, and Pei Jia is also very content, and she doesn't even have much pursuit in this life.
She also knows how eloquent her husband is, and she also knows that once the prince becomes an adult, he will be divided out, and it is a good thing that he will be established overseas.
After all, the throne of the Ming Dynasty will only be inherited by the crown prince, and the rest of the princes are also vassal kings, who can be treated as vassal kings of the Jiajing Dynasty, and I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing himself will not divide the princes out, causing hidden dangers to the future of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor's ambition gave each of his princes a chance to become kings, and if this kind of thing was changed to the concubines of any dynasty, it was estimated that they would faint with laughter, and the concubines who had princes in Emperor Jiajing's harem would naturally be no exception.
But Pei Jia didn't expect it to be so soon, because the emperor once said that only after the prince was sixteen years old, he would let the prince go to sea!
Jun has no jokes, but now Emperor Jiajing is backtracking.
"Time is running out, can Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing think about it?" Zhu Houwei sighed softly.
Concubine Jing Wu glanced at Concubine Shu and said: "The concubine has thought about it, Zaiji is young, and the concubine wants to go to sea with him, and she will take care of it sooner or later."
Zhu Houwei nodded, and then looked at Pei Jia.
Pei Shi pursed his lips, wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "The concubine also wants to go to sea together to take care of Yu'er."
"Okay." Zhu Houwei nodded again, he was not surprised by the choice of the two concubines.
For the women of the harem, the emperor's favor is the foundation of the foothold, and the emperor's heir is the basis for survival.
Concubine Shu is almost forty years old this year, and Concubine Jing is also thirty-five, although the maintenance is not bad, and full of femininity, but they themselves definitely don't think so, they will only feel that they are old and decrepit, and it is difficult to get the emperor's favor, how can they compete with those new women who enter the palace in terms of appearance and youth.
In addition, how can the son be willing to give up before he is an adult, so he decided to go to sea, which is naturally not surprising.
As for why Concubine Zhuang didn't choose to be with her son, there are many reasons, such as her relationship with the emperor is much deeper than that between Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing, for example, she really wants to be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor who will be a companion for more than 20 years in a hundred years, and will only be buried in the imperial mausoleum for a longer time in the future, for example, she has a little princess......
"I have divided Australia into two parts, Zaiji will be in the east after that, the country will be named 'Yan', the territory will be in the west, the country will be named 'Ji', I will give 1.5 million people to each of the two countries, 100,000 troops each, 30 million taels of silver each, Confucian scholars and new scholars and all kinds of craftsmen will send enough manpower, the emperor does not need to worry about the gods, just read good books, and teach the rest of the things to the people arranged by the emperor to do it.
Originally, I planned to emigrate first, and then send the prince there, after all, at least there must be a decent palace first, but I thought about it and let you go together, this is also the best time for you to establish your prestige, if you miss it, there will be no chance. ”
"Sons remember the teachings of their father." The two princes saluted respectfully.
"Although there are aborigines on that land in Australia, it is not worth mentioning, the establishment of a new dynasty, there are too many affairs, too many to count, but the most important point is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is fundamental, as long as you can't do this, you will put the cart before the horse, and you will inevitably live up to your father's expectations of you!"
The two princes were ignorant, but they still nodded obediently.
"Those aborigines are born hard laborers, let them do the most dangerous things, don't do any massacres, there is no point, deprive them of reproductive rights, any race will naturally die out after a few decades, let them play the most value before they disappear, is what the wise man should do."
"Erchen understands ......"
"In addition to these, the father will also move twenty clans and twenty nobles to Australia, these magnates can set aside a piece of land for them to fend for themselves, they can enslave the Australian natives, but they must not let them enslave the Han people, as for how the clan and nobles will be divided in the future, until they disappear, after the new dynasty of the emperor has a firm foothold and order is established, I will send an envoy to Australia to tell you what to do."
"Erchen understands."
Zhu Houwei's eyes looked at the two concubines and said: "This farewell, I don't know if there is still a chance to meet in this life, if it is my funeral, your son will succeed to the throne as the emperor, you are the queen mother, and now I am still alive, you naturally can't be called the queen mother, go to the new dynasty, and call it the holy queen."
"The concubine obeys!" Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing bowed.
"Prepare to prepare, I will send you out of Beijing early tomorrow morning." After speaking, Zhu Houwei left Yongshou Palace directly.
Early the next morning, martial law was imposed on the line from the palace to Chaoyangmen, and the royal guard of honor drove out of the palace and went straight to Chaoyangmen.
Beijing to Tianjin Wei has already been through the train, this railway station is outside the Chaoyang Gate, the original daily bustling railway station, today seems to be extremely deserted, the two Ming princes, the future emperors of overseas kingdoms, there are a lot of clans and nobles, today to take the car to Tianjin, this car naturally became a special train.
"The concubines bid farewell to Your Majesty, and the sons and daughters bid farewell to their fathers and emperors......"
"No need to be polite." Zhu Houwei touched the heads of the two princes, no matter how you look at it, they are all loving fathers.
The two princes traveled to Australia, which opened the curtain of global colonization.
At this moment, even Zhu Houwei, who is as strong as iron, can't help but feel a little sad, because once the curtain opens, there will be no stop, but it's a pity that he is not very qualified as a stallion, and he has been an emperor for more than ten years, and there are less than ten sons who have died young.
According to this situation, it is estimated that it is not easy to divide the Americas into fifteen empires......
"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The goodbye voice shocked the trance-like Zhu Houwei back to reality.
The farewell was the nobles of the clan headed by Zhu Youyi, the king of you, and Zhu Youyi, the king of Heng.
According to Zhu Houwei's original calculation, he planned to send out all the distant branch vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty first, in fact, he did this, and now the Ming Dynasty only has the two distant branch clansmen headed by the King of Shu and the King of Chu and their side princes.
In addition to these two distant branches, all the princes of the Chenghua system are here, after all, they are all close branches, and Zhu Houwei naturally intends to stay until the end......
