Chapter 498 Let nature take its course
"Sending such a young daughter to her husband's house, why does it look like sending a child bride?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.Feeling a burst of emotion in his heart, when he was a child in the countryside, it was common for him to be a child bride.

Generally, those whose families are too poor to support their daughters will send their daughters to others as child brides.

I didn't expect that I would do such a thing when I became the emperor.

"Although our family background and position are not poor, compared with Mr. Qin in terms of knowledge and knowledge, we are poor." Empress Ma said, "Therefore, it doesn't seem to be a problem to send Ning Yang to him as a child bride."

"Sister is right." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

……

"My choice doesn't seem very wise!" Qin Yu thought in his heart after seeing the two leave.

His original intention of choosing Princess Ningyang.

It's because I don't want to marry a girl I've never met.

Therefore, I chose a princess who died in history, thinking that once she died, I would not have to marry her.But now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to send this princess to him,
Can he just watch this little princess die young?
He can change history, what if he saves this little princess?
How should she be accommodated then?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu smiled wryly and shook his head.

This seems to be a bit of a feeling of being clever but being mistaken by cleverness.

The record of Princess Ningyang in history has only two words: early death.

There is no record of how old she was when she died, why she died, what her name was, and who her mother was.After all, she is not a famous princess, and it is not bad to leave a two-word record in the history books.

However, after a while of analysis, Qin Yu judged that she probably died of illness.

Some people say that such a princess died of illness, isn't it easy to guess?
actually not.

The chances of the sons and daughters of the emperors of the feudal dynasty dying unexpectedly are far greater than the chances of dying of illness.In other words, most of them were killed by people, not natural deaths.

Especially those princes and princesses with low status and very young age.

The reason can be explained in two sentences.

The first sentence is: The most ruthless emperor's family.

In the eyes of the emperor, only the eldest son is his own son, and the rest of the sons are all courtiers.He loves and nurtures the eldest, and the second, third, and fourth grown-up princes care about him occasionally.

For those princes who are underage, they don't even bother to take a look.

The emperor has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to take care of so many sons?

There is no brotherhood between brothers and sisters. They have the same father and different mothers. They have lived in different palaces since they were young. If they didn't grow up together, they can't talk about feelings.

So if you travel to ancient times and become a prince, and see your elder brother and elder sister smiling at you, the only correct thought is - he is here to harm you.

The second sentence is: The emperor's harem is the biggest vanity fair.The emperor's harem is the "place of battle for military strategists" of the feudal nobles.

The emperor's concubines were basically from famous families, that is to say, behind these concubines was a big feudal family.

If a prince born to a concubine inherits the throne in the future, the family behind him will rise instantly.

Such a great opportunity to rise led to the aristocratic forces behind the concubine fighting each other.They will try their best to kill those little princes who have the chance to win the heir.

Such as using slow poison, creating accidents, etc...

The emperor didn't pay much attention to these little princes, which made it easy for them to succeed.

At the same time, the power of the feudal aristocracy could easily infiltrate the Ministry of Internal Affairs, win over the eunuchs who were in charge of the daily life of concubines and princes, and use some methods secretly, which were difficult for others to find out.

The eunuchs were drawn in, and even if some concubines had the opportunity to sleep with them, it was impossible for them to become pregnant.

The eunuch will give her medicine to prevent pregnancy before she goes to bed.

The battle in the emperor's harem is even more brutal than the battle in the court.On the surface, it seems that a group of women are fighting for favor, but in fact it is the family behind them who are fighting.

The concubines are at the front desk, and behind them are the family forces operating in secret.

Eleven of Kangxi's thirty sons died, and most of them were under ten years old.
That's why.

The more outstanding and powerful emperors were even better, able to keep most of their unseen heirs, so on the surface they seemed to have many sons and daughters.

In the mid-term, some weaker emperors had fewer heirs.

Some emperors couldn't even find a prince when they died, so they could only pass the throne to his younger brother or nephew.The reason for this is that the feudal nobles thoroughly manipulated their harem.

According to common sense, any emperor has at least dozens of concubines.

It is absolutely impossible for a son not to be born.

To sum up, most of the reasons for the death of the children of ancient emperors were murder, and the actual death due to illness accounted for a very small number.The royal family has no worries about food and clothing, and there is an imperial physician in charge, how can it be so easy to die of illness?
Therefore, if one reads historical records that Princess Ningyang died early, it is extremely superficial to judge that she died of illness.

Then why did Qin Yu judge that she died of illness after analysis?
Because first of all she is a princess, and the feudal nobles did not suppress the princess that much.Princesses are all tools used by the emperor to win over ministers and nobles, and there is no meaning of harm.

Secondly, Emperor Zhu is relatively strong and domineering.

The feudal aristocrats in the early days of the Ming Dynasty probably did not dare to confuse and manipulate their harem.Moreover, the feudal nobles in this period of time are still relatively weak.

It has not yet reached the point of being able to turn clouds and rain in the harem.

In the later period, the power of the feudal nobles was very terrible. Zhengde had no sons and could only pass the throne to his cousin, and the carpenter emperor had no sons and could only pass the throne to Chongzhen.

In the famous stiletto attack case, the prince Zhu Changluo was almost beaten to death.

In order to help their daughter's son compete for the crown prince, the feudal nobles even dared to assassinate the grown prince!In comparison, the techniques of aversion to victory, sticking villains, etc. inside the palace are simply too childish.

Many palace fighting dramas are about the intrigue between women.

It seems that those concubines can control everything.

Women don't have that much energy.

……

"Since Ning Yang died of illness."

"I know how to make penicillin, and besides I have a spirit pivot who is a master of Qihuang art, once Princess Ningyang comes to me, it is very likely that she will not die young."

Qin Yu thought,

"In this way, all my original intentions for choosing her will come to nothing."

"Instead, it brought a burden to myself."

"Forget it, forget it, let it be."

"I can't expect her to die early, as recorded in history. I can't know that she will die young and let it go."

"She's probably not seriously ill, and she'll be cured with a dose of penicillin."

"Because the medical skills of the imperial physicians are still very high, they can treat most diseases, but some bacterial infections that penicillin can treat are the blind spots of medical skills at that time."
