After a period of ups and downs, Zhu Jianshen felt physically and mentally satisfied.
He was also very tired and didn’t even want to move.
The woman who was waiting in bed was very tired and in pain for the first time, but after His Majesty the Emperor dealt with it, she got up and put on her clothes, then bowed and left.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Jian sighed deeply.
There was something strange in his heart.
Although my body was released, there was some emptiness and loneliness in my heart...
After finishing the work, he left. It was like making some kind of deal.
Scholars think about being named on the gold medal list, high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and businessmen think about prosperity and wealth. However, high-ranking officials and generous salaries and wealth are nothing more than having a lovely wife and concubine, and they are nothing more than pursuing a free and happy life...
Zhu Jianshen had it all without having to work too hard.
It seems that there is no challenge in this kind of life... I can only change the runway.
Let the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and make the territory more vast.
Use the sword in your hand to seize more land for the plows of the people of Ming Dynasty and seize more living space for the nation.
Just now when Zhu Jianshen was standing next to the imperial survey map of the entire Ming Dynasty, he had been full of desire for the west of Hami.
But Zhu Jianshen also knew that the barren northwest could not bear the military burden of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops.
What's more, the imperial court has been using troops for many years and the people are short of power. A qualified emperor should put away his warlike heart, abandon his weapons and soldiers, and start anew with the people.
After the Annan War ended, Zhu Jianshen was unwilling to open up a large battlefield in the short term.
Even though he was full of desire, he still chose to be patient.
The main enemy of the Ming Dynasty is still the enemy on the Mongolian grassland. If they advance westward rashly, they can only expand the front line. The large-scale actions of the Ming army may even frighten the nobles in Mongolia, allowing them to end the civil strife in advance and regroup. stand up.
Now the Ming Dynasty, especially the three provinces of Liaodong, has just got on the right track. If another war breaks out, even if it wins, the price paid will be very high.
But Zhu Jianshen was afraid that his arrival would change history.
That land of Xinna no longer exists...
This would be a great loss to the Han nation...
Now Zhu Jianshen, including the entire Ming Dynasty, is very cautious in dealing with Mongolia.
In the ninth year of Chenghua, bilateral negotiations resumed, and Ming Dynasty officially accepted Mongolian tribute. Zhu Jianshen rewarded many Mongolian leaders in exchange for the apparent surrender of some tribes.
But Zhu Jianshen also knew that these people were wolves who could not be fed enough. But at this stage, Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to send troops into the grasslands to fight. It could only stabilize some tribes first, win over them, and deal with other tribes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen sighed again: "Emperors all want to become Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but there are many emperors, and there is only one Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Who has his courage?"
After Zhu Jianshen became an adult, he fantasized more than once that he could reach the heights of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But he also knew himself, and he also knew the difficulty of becoming Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
For example, the two fierce men who came to marry Queen Wei Zifu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing...
He is still not sure whether there is such an outstanding person in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were still some outstanding people. Speaking of which, we have to mention General Lan Yu who raped the imperial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty.
His achievements are comparable to Wei Qing's, but compared to the demon Huo Qubing, they are still inferior.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen also knew very well that the times had progressed. At this time, the Han nation had mastered firearms and had more horse farms than during the Han Dynasty. Its war mobilization capabilities and comprehensive national strength also far exceeded those during the Han Dynasty during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But he also knew that at this time, the Ming Dynasty no longer had the courage to rush forward courageously.
The main reason is that it is a change in situation and a change in the way of measuring costs.
Mongolia cannot threaten the status of the Ming Dynasty or the living space of the Han nation.
At this stage, the Ming Dynasty has one million people, and the populations of the two capitals of Yingtian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion far exceed the population of the grassland.
If we really fight against the enemies on the grassland, the final victory will definitely belong to Ming Dynasty. There is no need to think about this at all.
But the price paid is also huge.
People can run away, but if they don't fight you, there's no point in punching cotton. It's a waste of national power for no reason.
On the contrary, the villages and cities where the Han people live will never run away. This is an advantage between the nomadic people and the farming people.
During the Han Dynasty, what they were fighting for was the survival and honor of the nation. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought to the death, which is a historical necessity. Otherwise, this nation would not have a glorious page, let alone many splendid cultures in later generations...
The night is getting darker.
Zhu Jianshen lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
He was thinking wildly, and suddenly thought of the woman who had just come to accompany him.
Until now, Zhu Jianshen didn't even know this woman's name, he only knew her surname was Ning.
In the past, Zhu Jianshen would keep in touch with each other and talk to each other before doing things, but now he doesn't even say a word of nonsense, he just gets on the horse and does it...
Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes, and then whispered: "Things that are easily available are indeed boring, boring...Zhu Yi is sailing away, can I also get a Western European girl to play with, for a change."
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen immediately became energetic.
He slowly sat up and thought of something.
Why do I seek the far away rather than the near?
In the northwest of Hami, there are Dilireba and Guinaza everywhere...
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen smiled...
I found another excuse for myself, and also found an excuse for my successors.
When our ancestors invaded the northwest, they certainly didn’t just want that little bit of land...
This is also recognized by later generations of netizens.
Yes, in the future, the maids in the palace will also need to find a group of women like Nazha, so that they can always remind the successors that in the far northwest, there are not only raisins, but also fresh grapes...
Zhu Jianshen was thinking wildly in the Qianqing Palace, and his father Zhu Qizhen in the Nangong Palace was also beginning to feel confused.
Ever since Zhu Youhuang entered Nangong, it was Zhu Qizhen who took him to sleep.
The two people, grandfather and grandson, eat and live together, and their relationship becomes more and more "deep".
Zhu Qizhen also lived happily.
But now, his expression was very strange. From time to time, he looked at his precious eldest grandson, Zhu Youhuang, who was sleeping beside him.
"Oh, my great grandson, you said that since you are lucky enough to enter the royal family, why did God let you become a concubine and the eldest son? You will suffer in the future..."
"Your father is lucky. If I hadn't been so eager to make contributions, he wouldn't have been able to get the throne. Alas, we, the grandfather and the grandson, are both miserable people..."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Qizhen sighed again, and then reached out to touch Zhu Yousheng's face.
The reason why Zhu Qizhen's happiness disappeared from his face and why he couldn't sleep was because at night, Zhu Qizhen learned about his life experience from Zhu Youfu's mouth.
The mother must be the queen, but the biological mother turned out to be a palace maid.
This status suddenly dropped a lot.
At any rate, Zhu Qizhen once had a career as the Ming Emperor.
Of course he knew that his status as a great grandson was very embarrassing.
If Zhu Jianshen was like himself and had no direct descendants, he would still have some chances, but the queen gave birth to a son for Zhu Jianshen, and he was only one year younger than Zhu Youluang.
With his legitimate son, it was impossible for Zhu Jianshen to consider Zhu Youfu as the crown prince.
The eldest son of the emperor who cannot become a prince was fine and carefree when he was young, but when he grows up, he is destined to live his life in obedience and timidity...
It may even be life-threatening.
During this period of time, after getting along day and night, Zhu Qizhen really liked Zhu Youhuang, his eldest grandson. For this reason, he did not even feel disappointed that his plan had failed.
Zhu Youhuang, who was sleeping, listened to Grandpa Huang's words and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Huang, Grandpa Huang, what are you telling your grandson..."
Looking at the confused Zhu Youlu, Zhu Qizhen put away his thoughts and chuckled: "I didn't say anything, sleep well, there is Fairy Chang'e in my dream..."
"Grandpa Huang doesn't want to be a rabbit this time. My grandson wants to be..."
After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he laughed loudly: "You don't understand anything, and you don't feel anything when being held by Chang'e, but grandpa is different..."
"What's the difference..."
Hearing his grandson's words, Zhu Qizhen instantly lost his temper. Can he tell the truth...
