Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 331 National Foundation
Ever since Xia Yuanji mentioned this issue, Chen Xun had no energy during the entire dinner and kept thinking about this issue.

In the feudal era, heirs were a very important issue. People in this era got married at the age of thirteen or four, and it was common for people to have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. It was not uncommon for people to become grandparents at the age of 30.

In the final analysis, there are too many uncertainties in this era, and people often ensure the continuation of their bloodlines by marrying early and having children early.

If ordinary people are like this, the royal family members will naturally pay more attention to this issue.

To put it more closely, it is to ensure continuous generation. After all, so many emperors in history died young or even died of sudden illness. If there were no heirs, Zhao Song was an obvious example.

To put it further, if he had children earlier, Zhu Zhanhe could teach him step by step. With Zhu Zhanhe's achievements, basically as long as the child's talent is not particularly crotch-stretching, the children he teaches will basically not know how to do it. How bad.

Maybe he can't be as pioneering and enterprising as Zhu Zhanhe, but if he wants to maintain his success, it should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Chen Xun's eyes became firmer.

The next day, early in the morning.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, even in the feudal dynasty, this day was a holiday, and it would also be put on the fifth day of the lunar month, and the court would not go to court until the sixth day of the lunar month.

But on such a day, Chen Xun went out early in the morning.

Today, he organized a game.

A game initiated by him involved Xia Yuanji, Hu Hui, Xu Heng... and Zhu Sanfeng.

"you……"

In a restaurant on Chang'an Street, Zhu Sanfeng looked at the four grown men in front of him with a confused look on his face.

"What did you call me to do?"

"Sit down first." Chen Xun stretched out his hand to signal, and then called over the maid in the restaurant.

Soon, the table was filled with good wine and food. At this time, Chen Xun also asked the maids to go out, and the door was guarded by two people.

The status of these two people is not ordinary. Now in Shuntian Mansion, the number of people who dare to sneer when they see these two people is definitely no more than five fingers.

Because they are the guards of Zhu Zhanhe's crown prince.

Chen Xun was able to mobilize Zhu Zhanhe's eldest son's guards, but they were very limited, usually three or five, the purpose was to ensure Chen Xun's safety and certain information would not be leaked.

For example, a time like today.

"To be honest, the person who can sit here today is at least not an outsider."

Looking at the confused expressions of everyone, Chen Xun slowly spoke.

"Now, the situation has stabilized. Although there are still disobedient people, they are only a very small number. Peace is just around the corner."

"But this doesn't mean we can relax. After last night's New Year's Eve dinner, I thought of one thing, a very important thing."

"His Royal Highness...is it time to have a child?"

Zhu Sanfeng was suddenly stunned when she heard this. Only then did she realize that she was just a female prostitute with no official position and no title, so why was she called here today.

There is only one reason, and that is that she has been with Zhu Zhanhe the longest in the past year.

"I've thought about this too." Zhu Sanfeng spoke first.

"But I think you should stop doing useless work. His Royal Highness is a man with strong self-control. He rarely touched women before he got his crown. When was the first time? I forgot when he was 16 or so."

"Go... the year before last, Emperor Taizong passed away on the funeral day, and from the moment he got the news of Emperor Taizong's entry into the mausoleum, His Royal Highness put on filial piety clothes to keep his filial piety for Emperor Taizong."

"Before that, His Royal Highness had had contact with female sex. Although the number of times was not very high, it was true, but it has not happened since then."

"By the way, let me remind you that the year before last, before His Royal Highness returned to Yingtian, the King of the Kingdom of Naples gave three women to His Royal Highness."

"I've seen those three women. Although they smell very bad, they are also beauties. And based on my experience with the Crown Prince, he likes this type of woman very much."

"But that time, His Royal Highness was not interested and didn't even look at it."

"I don't think it's realistic either." After hearing Zhu Sanfeng's words, Xia Yuanji also said.

"Sanfeng is right. Even if His Royal Highness does not observe filial piety for the late emperor, he must still observe filial piety for Emperor Taizong."

"Even if we don't consider anything else, there is one issue we have to consider. That is, if His Highness the Crown Prince really does what we want, it will be bad if the news gets out. After all, the palace is the most talkative. A complicated place.”

"By the time……"

Xia Yuanji spread his hands.

He did not agree with Chen Xun's idea. In Xia Yuanji's view, it has been 25 years, why can't he wait for more than a year?
Originally, the possibility of Zhu Zhanhe taking the throne was very slim. No matter they were officials, gentry or businessmen, they did not want to see Zhu Zhanhe take the throne.

In fact, even the common people did not want to see Zhu Zhanhe ascend to power.

For the common people, it is a good thing to have an emperor who is tough on the outside world, but if this emperor has blood on his hands and millions of dead souls under his name, they will be afraid and object.

"No, you are mistaken." Chen Xun shook his head and interrupted everyone.

"I don't want His Royal Highness to do that kind of thing during the filial piety period. After all, he has been here for so many years. There is no need to be anxious at this time."

"I mean be prepared."

"Ready?" Xia Yuanji almost laughed out loud.

"How to prepare for this kind of thing? Even if it is prepared, it is for the imperial physician to prepare. At most, it is for Sanfeng to talk to His Highness King Wu, His Highness the Crown Prince, or Princess Wu."

"What are we, a bunch of old men, getting involved with?"

"No, did you forget something?" Chen Xun tapped the table gently.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have a Crown Princess, but as of now, there is only one Crown Princess around the Crown Prince, not even a concubine."

Xia Yuanji became serious after hearing this, but Chen Xun hadn't finished speaking yet.

"If it was in the past, it would be okay. After all, the eldest son is the most important, but it's different now."

"Nowadays, the territory of our Ming Dynasty is so vast that no one can match it. Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu can only hold a candle to it."

"It's nothing in the Central Plains. At most, we can just follow the previous rules. After all, not to mention the past dynasties, our Ming Dynasty also has experience."

"But where is Xiangzhou Prefecture? Where is the Sultan of Delhi? Where is the Timurid Empire? Where is the Golden Horde? Even, I think His Highness still has the intention to continue the expedition north from the Timurid Empire."

"With such a vast territory, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has planned to give it to His Royal Highness King Jiyang and a few others, it is not enough."

"These lands are too far away from the Ming Dynasty. Many places are blocked by natural barriers. If vassal kings are not sent there to manage them, it will be difficult to effectively control them."

"Even if we don't talk about these things, there is one thing we can't get around."

With that said, Chen Xun knocked on the table again.

"grassland."
