Chapter 345: Tianzhu
Before the marriage of the fifth prince Xia En and Princess Yelena of the Roman Empire, he was named the king of Zhongshan by Emperor Tianshun.
The canonization decree also required him to take the princess to his fiefdom of the Ryukyu Islands in the first month of marriage.
As early as the seventeenth year of Tianshun, the Great Xia Navy took the entire Ryukyu and its affiliated islands.
Tens of thousands of Han Chinese had fled to the island, but they often had conflicts with the local natives.
The arrival of the Great Xia Navy gave the Han Chinese who first immigrated to Ryukyu a glimpse of the light.
Dealing with the slash-and-burn mountain natives, it will only take half a month to take the entire archipelago.
In order to attract the natives who lived in the deep forests, the imperial court sent Sinong officials to quickly spread the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes on Ryukyu Island.
Pepper, tea, yellow and other cash crops have not been left behind.
If it weren't for his own son-in-law, Emperor Tianshun would not be willing to give him this treasure land.
ignored the holy decree, but came to find his coquettish little son, Emperor Tianshun told with a solemn face:
"Although I and your mother want to keep you in the capital to accompany us, but your other brothers have a good place to go, I can't favor one over the other, right? Although the territory of the Ryukyu Islands is not too large, if you work hard, you can annex Toei, and you can make a difference."
Xia En's face was dazed: I am thousands of miles away to marry my foreign daughter-in-law home, why do I have to go to the fiefdom? When I was a child, I ate my father's and used my father's, and I plan to gnaw my brother's in the future, and maybe I can gnaw my daughter-in-law and my cub when I get old!
I gave such a large piece of land and didn't count, and I still want your son to expand the territory, do you always have too high expectations for me?!
"Father, my son still wants to spend a few more years with you and my mother, and my son has just returned from overseas? Your daughter-in-law is still pregnant with your own grandson! ”
"If you don't want to be a father, you still don't want to be motivated, do you want your father or your brother to help you raise children in the future?"
Emperor Tianshun hated iron and steel, although he didn't want his sons to be like him, but he didn't want to be a son who was lying flat and a salted fish.
Thinking that if you marry a foreign daughter-in-law, you can be a free prince if you break the ancestral bloodline, it's really naïve!
Without enough strength, who can be a dish when you are a dish? If you want your daughter-in-law to return to China and inherit the throne of the Roman Empire, is it all up to you?
The prince is your own brother who can tolerate you, how do you know that your nephew in the future can still raise you as an uncle for nothing? How can there be so much pure family affection in the heavenly family?
What did Emperor Tianshun think, and what did he say, Xia En's eyes flashed with tears, and he looked at the old man who was not bad, but his hair was half white.
"Father, the child listens to you, what you say, what the child does!" The fifth prince had red eyes and brought out a nasal voice.
Since he was a child, his mother taught him that he should not be too kind to him, the emperor Laozi, and that he was just one of his many sons.
Therefore, eating, drinking, and having no ambition is the best way out for his five princes.
When he was in the Roman Empire, it was also a "love at first sight" that he carefully planned, in order to reassure his future brother and emperor.
But now that the old man is pouring out his heart and lungs for him, making various arrangements carefully, and even thinking of his children and grandchildren, how can Xia En not be moved?
Perhaps, there is still true love in the heavenly family, right? Otherwise, why did his father have no heirs born after he was born?
Except for his mother, there are not a few old concubines left in the harem now, isn't this the emperor's affection?
