Chapter 991

The Ming Empire was worried that the imperial population was too large to support, while the Chinese Empire was worried that the imperial population was too small.

You should know that the former Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very able to give birth. Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to 24 sons at one breath. Although none of the emperors behind him could match, after all, he laid the foundation and passed it down. Only when the emperor Zhengde of Wuzong was born, he could not give birth to a son, and there was no successor, so he became a brother and a brother.

But after all, it is the blood of Taizu, passed down from generation to generation.

The Chinese empire is superior to the Ming Dynasty in many aspects, but it is far inferior in this aspect. Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to 24 princes and enfeoffed all over the world. Liu Yuanqiao has many women, but he can't give birth to a son, that is, Liu Bu's only seedling. Although there are not many, they all have grandchildren. There is no problem for the three generations.

But according to the past practice, the royal blood is too thin. There is only one single seedling, which is very dangerous.

You should know that many emperors in previous dynasties also gave birth to princes, but only five or five of them raised adults. If so, the population of the imperial family is like a candle in the wind. If they are not careful, they are afraid that it will blow away. Therefore, the Chinese Empire does not have the troubles of Daming. On the contrary, they have to be particularly worried about this aspect.

Don't you see that the ministers are still very enthusiastic about the rear palace of Liu Yuanqiao. With the decline of the Royal population, the emperor has to take in both livestock and animals, absorb virtuous imperial concubines and collect more.

In this regard, even Liu Bu has been criticized. As the crown prince of the Ming Empire, he is only one imperial concubine and two concubines at present. There are too few, just two children, even fewer. The people are very disappointed. The ministers have long written to Liu Bu to maintain the number of at least ten wives, rain and dew broadcasting, and more income, so as to increase the Royal population.

For such reasons, would they restrict the privileges of the royal family?

Liu Bu is not in charge of political affairs now, because he found himself a prince. Although he can manage everything under the emperor and above all officials, he can not manage anything. There are many taboos.

In fact, emperors and princes of all dynasties complement each other. Emperors need princes as heirs to ensure the eternal stability of the country. At the same time, they are worried that princes will become impatient and replace them. This is an outcome of support and solicitation.

You should know that this same combination is actually very difficult to do. Many great emperors with great talents and strategies eventually get hurt and separated because they can't do such a combination well.

Liu Bu knows that his father is an arbitrary and powerful man. In that case, he might as well retreat. Now he has no need to fight with his father and is not an opponent. In his words, he can enjoy life without doing it. Why bother so much?

How good it is now. When it's time to go on duty, go on duty on time, go back to the heart nourishing hall early, play with your son and daughter for a while, listen to songs, read books, and press the road or boast with your concubines in the garden after dinner?

Moreover, there are three beautiful ladies waiting in the harem, giving him different choices and tasting different delicacies. At this point in life, what do you want? Why do you have to do so much work? Endless busy?

Liu Bu believes that the highest ideal of life is to count money, count hand cramps, sleep until you wake up naturally. Even if you wake up, you'd better wake up with urine.

Although Liu Bu is the No. 2 figure of the Liu family, nominally all the things of the Liu family are his, he also knows that there are exceptions to everything. Even the emperor has internal money, and he has built a small treasure house to let himself have some savings. He doesn't have to reach out to the Treasury and his family. Now he worries where to put the money, What kind of treasure house should we build? It's also a pleasure to look at the account books every day and count the gold and silver treasures we have made over the years.

He won't disclose how much money Liu Bu has. Even his father doesn't know. Zhou Hui of the National Security Bureau doesn't dare to check. He just took out 300000 liang of hands since he married a sister. He knows that the prince has made a lot of money in charge of the army in recent years.

It was because Liu Bu had made so much money that he felt that he didn't have to toss about like that. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty tossed about like this, but he didn't end up dying before he got old.

Learning from the lessons of emperor Chongzhen, Liu Yuanqiao began to announce the invitation of Mr. Feng Shui on the second day of his accession to the throne to select auspicious days and feng shui treasure sites for him and build his imperial mausoleum.

In those days, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think he was in a hurry and had no good days. He never built his own imperial mausoleum. He thought he was still young and didn't have to worry. However, when they were in a hurry to use it, they found that there was no imperial mausoleum available at all and could only occupy the mausoleum of imperial concubine Tian.

There is one thing recognized by all emperors, that is, their own imperial tombs have to be built by themselves, so that they can be built satisfactorily and meet the specifications. If they are built by others, even their own sons may not be willing to spend money.

Liu Bu hasn't become an emperor yet. Naturally, he is not qualified to build his own imperial mausoleum, so even if he is in a hurry, he can't come.

That night, Liu Bu went to bed early. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a female official and said, "prince, something serious has happened. The emperor urgently ordered."

Liu Bu has his hobbies. He doesn't like eunuchs. The palace doesn't like using eunuchs, so most of his palace uses female officials and maids. If it's rough and heavy work, he uses some strong maids to complete the work. In short, he is very exclusive of eunuchs and doesn't want to use them.

Liu Bu was sleeping soundly, but he heard that something big had happened. The emperor was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to delay. He got up immediately. Zheng zining was sleeping soundly and vaguely. He wanted to help him dress. Liu Bu pressed it down and said, "you can sleep at ease."

Anyway, there are female officials around him. Liu Bu, as the crown prince, has a great dress. He can't wear it without help.

After Liu Bu got dressed, his bodyguard was already waiting. He immediately used the warm bridge to carry him to the palace and handed him over to the Tai hall.

In the harem, what happens at night is usually handled here in the Jiaotai hall. The Jiaotai hall is just between the Qianqing palace and the Kunning palace. It is located on the central axis and is a place where the emperor summoned foreign ministers.

Liu Yuanqiao didn't know what happened to the former Emperor, but he didn't like to work in his bedroom and summon ministers, so he was here in the Jiaotai hall.

Some rules in the Ming Dynasty palace have also been handed down.

In the Ming Dynasty, because of the change of the south palace, there was an iron rule. This is that after entering the evening, the rear palace and the main palace doors must be closed. There is nothing to open.

If there is an urgent matter that needs to be contacted, personnel from each palace shall be sent to contact. If you have to go in and out, you can enter with a hanging basket.

Although Liu Bu was also in the back palace, he was separated from the three main halls where the Jiaotai hall was located by a palace wall. When he entered the palace, he went in in a basket. Since he went in in a basket, there was no one around except the cold leader of his guard team. His huge guard stopped outside and waited.

When Liu Bu entered here, he found that not only himself, but also Liu Zhongyong, commander-in-chief of the Ministry of national defense and the ministers of various ministries were summoned. They all came in a hurry with sleepy eyes. They also came in in a basket.

Liu Bu came the fastest because he lived close. At this time, Liu Yuanqiao had repeatedly read the military newspaper in his study. Although he had read it many times, he was still angry.

When Liu Bu arrived, he handed the military newspaper to Liu Bu and said, "look!"

Liu Bu took over the military newspaper and found that there were eight feathers on it, which meant that it was the highest level 800 Li expedited military newspaper, and it was actually transmitted by the Security Bureau.

When Liu Bu opened the military newspaper, he was also surprised. It turned out that after the founding of the people's Republic of China, they sent envoys to North Korea to read Liu Yuanqiao's imperial edict on the throne, and told North Korea that Daming had perished and China had risen. The Empire recognized the official status of North Korea. All status and conditions remained the same as those of the previous dynasty, and both sides were still vassal states.

Many people believe that this is just a process. North Korea has basically been a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years. As long as the Central Plains Dynasty is established and unified, they will submit to the central dynasty.

Before that, North Korea had always been subject to Daming. However, after the rise of JianNu, it was isolated between the two forces. North Korea was severely cleaned up once and nominally submitted to JianNu.

However, they still sent messengers to Daming and regarded Daming as the suzerain state. In their eyes, as long as Daming took the time, he could clean up the slaves and bring them down.

This time, the Chinese Empire destroyed the Ming Dynasty, established a new empire and sent envoys to them. The main thing is to inform the Central Plains emperor of these great changes. The Central Plains emperor assured them that the relationship between the two sides will not change, as before.

Many people believe that this is just a process. Even if Lee's North Korea is unwilling, it can only admit it by pinching its nose, because they can't resist it.

Therefore, the envoys sent by the imperial court were relatively casual. The Ministry of rites sent an envoy, and it was Qian Wenbin, the second son of Qian Qianyi, the Minister of rites, who sent him. The main purpose was to let him experience and accumulate credit. If it was a dangerous thing, it would not send such noble children.

What did the North Koreans do? I killed all the messengers of the Chinese army.

Liu Bu saw the military newspaper, his hand shook, and the military newspaper almost fell to the ground.
