Chapter 259 The Problem of Offspring
In honor of Emperor Wu, Hongxuan.
He kept his military power firmly in his hands and promoted a group of young officers, who became the backbone of his control over the entire military system.
What Hongxuan is most concerned about is to build and improve his own military system. Only with a strong army can there be a strong Dafeng Kingdom.
Hongxuan doesn't want to see examples like Zhao Bencai and He Zhili appear again.
But how can this be avoided?
"I just disappeared for three months, and my former subordinates jumped out one by one, trying to overthrow Dafeng."
"One of them must have been bewitched. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened."
"Now my royal family has been slaughtered, and I am the only one left."
Emperor Fengwu was actually very worried.
"This imperial dynasty is about the continuation of bloodline and stable rule."
Emperor Hongxuan Fengwu came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to attend court.
The ministers in the court had all prepared memorials.
The governor, Ji Donglai, was newly promoted by Emperor Fengwu.
"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
Hong Xuan looked at Ji Dong and said,
"My dear minister, please play!"
The governor, Ji Donglai, said respectfully:
"Your Majesty! Today, the country of Dafeng is prosperous and strong. Under your Majesty's governance, there are no more natural disasters or droughts. There are more and more fertile fields in the world, and the people have more and more food. This is a prosperous era that has never been seen before!"
The capital Ji Donglai's praise for Emperor Fengwu came from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty! But during your absence in Dafeng, the traitor Zhao Bencai slaughtered all the male members of the royal family so that there would be no one to inherit the throne. I suggest that Your Majesty should recruit more concubines to continue the lineage, revive the prosperity of the royal family of Dafeng, and keep the royal bloodline alive!"
After Emperor Fengwu listened to the opinions of Ji Donglai from the capital.
I think it’s right.
...I am in the imperial power, and the greatest characteristic of the imperial power is that one needs one's own descendants to inherit the throne.
If his descendants did not inherit the throne, it would mean that the Dafeng Kingdom had actually been destroyed.
This is not alarmist talk.
So now not only himself, but even the ministers are worried about the issue of continuing the Emperor's offspring.
"Lord Ji! I'll leave this matter to you!"
Ji Donglai accepted the order respectfully.
After receiving the order from Emperor Hongxuan, Ji Donglai immediately started working on this matter.
Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard entered the hall and spoke respectfully.
"Your Majesty! The Dali Kingdom sent an envoy with ten boxes of gold and silver and fifty young girls from the Dali Kingdom to the imperial city of the Dafeng Kingdom."
When Emperor Fengwu Hongxuan heard it, he realized that it was the gold, silver and beauties sent by An Jingyi.
"Well! The Herald comes in."
After the Dali Kingdom's envoy was summoned into the palace, he came to the main hall.
Seeing Emperor Fengwu sitting on the throne, the envoy prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully:
"By the Emperor Wu! I came to the Great Feng Kingdom on the orders of Emperor Wu to pay tribute of ten boxes of gold and fifty girls from Southern Xinjiang."
The ministers in the hall were just discussing that the royal family is now in decline and only Hongxuan is left.
The envoys from the Dali Kingdom sent a large number of young girls from southern Xinjiang.
Ji Donglai, the capital, looked displeased. He did not expect that the guy he just met would be an envoy from Dali who brought a girl from southern Xinjiang.
Hongxuan was delighted.
Among his subordinates, the one with the highest achievements now is An Jingyi. Moreover, An Jingyi is his subordinate, and it was he who put An Jingyi on the throne of the Dali Kingdom.
"Okay! Since Emperor Liwu has this intention, then I will go and see the girl from Southern Xinjiang that I brought with me.
Hongxuan returned to where he lived, the Qianqing Palace.
The eunuchs in the palace had already been prepared, and the maid who would verify the body's condition would only be sent to the emperor after the verification was complete.
These girls from southern Xinjiang came to the Qianqing Palace. They were carefully selected to serve Emperor Wu in the palace.
When Emperor Fengwu saw these girls from Southern Xinjiang, he was extremely happy, because girls from Southern Xinjiang were exactly the type that Hongxuan liked, each of them was smart and cute.
Hong Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said to the eunuch who was serving him:
"I am very satisfied to include these southern border girls in my harem."
The eunuchs who served him agreed and brought these girls from southern Xinjiang into the harem.
The harem is not under the management of Murong Yan now. In fact, Murong Yan from the Murong family has been eliminated by Hong Xuan.
During the three months that Hongxuan disappeared, the personalities of Murong Yan, Murong Qin and Shangguan Qingya changed drastically, and even Hongxuan could not recognize them.
There is no way, the friendship is over.
The three of them are now living in the cold palace of the imperial palace. Hong Xuan does not allow them to contact other people and directly secludes them.
Of course Hongxuan knew that the three of them must have been corrupted by the evil spirit at that time, so they thought about becoming empresses. Although they also took action, they were eventually suppressed by Zhao Bencai. It was only because the three of them were still alive that Zhao Bencai spared their lives.
Therefore, Hongxuan had to execute Zhao Bencai by slow slicing.
"This is likely to happen again in the future, but how can I minimize the risk?"
All of this was the instigation of Taoist Qingxuan. He bewitched Zhao Bencai, and at the same time he also bewitched his three princesses.
Hongxuan selected his five favorite girls from Nanjiang from among the fifty girls from Nanjiang as his imperial concubines and bestowed them with the title of imperial concubines.
Everything is on track.
For Hongxuan now, his biggest problem is the issue of offspring.
Only if he has enough offspring can he rule the Dafeng Kingdom better.
Hongxuan no longer dared to create something that did not exist in this world.
It was not until Hongxuan sat on the throne that he understood that under the system structure of imperial power, allowing the people to live a prosperous life might not necessarily be a good choice.
It was not to get the people's attention, but to give them something to do. It was not until he became emperor that he discovered that everything has a balance.
At the same time, he put away his previous ways and focused more on imperial rule.
This is the change after he became emperor.
In fact, its change is very necessary and is in line with the structure of today's society under imperial rule.
For example, in the Dafeng Kingdom, everyone wants to study, everyone wants to take the imperial examinations, and everyone wants to engage in business activities.
So who will cultivate the people's land? This is not a new century, nor a new era, because there is no advanced productivity. Even if there is advanced productivity, it is impossible for all people to receive advanced education, take part in the imperial examinations, become officials or be seriously injured. There must still be a large number of people to cultivate the fields to obtain food.
Therefore, Hongxuan did not think through the initial policies. It was not until he became emperor and carried out unified management that he realized that all this was carried out within a framework and could not go beyond this framework. The current framework is a framework of the supremacy of imperial power.
