If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 233 Is Jie Jin still alive?

For Zhu Zhantun, he didn't mind winning over the Mongols by having a concubine. After all, this was still the feudal era, and according to etiquette, he could marry many wives.

Not only is it possible, it’s even necessary.

In a feudal society, it was a very important matter for the royal family to spread its branches and branches. In more serious cases, it would even rise to the point of shaking the country's foundation.

Just like from Zhu Youtang, Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, to Zhu Houzhao, Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Houzhao was not an only son, but if Zhu Houzhao had a son, it would not be Jiajing's turn to succeed to the throne and become emperor, and there would be a incident of taking Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi out of the Ancestral Temple.

To a certain extent, the same is true for Zhu Zhanji's sons Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen was able to carry out the coup to seize the throne and successfully restore him to power was because Zhu Qiyu's son died without an heir, and his own health was not good. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty would have to return to Zhu Qizhen's lineage?

Facts and results also proved that Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen was a good emperor.

It can be seen that in feudal society, marrying more wives and having more sons is really important.

However, although Zhu Zhanjun could accept a concubine, he could not accept a Mongolian as his main concubine. Not to mention that he did not accept this, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and even the entire Ming Dynasty would not accept it.

Just kidding, the Ming Dynasty has paid a lot of money to drive away the Mongols since its founding. Now you marry a Mongolian old woman as revenge for the Mongols back then, but if you make a Mongolian a royal concubine, you will give birth to a woman with Mongolian ancestry. The eldest son is the heir. Doesn't this mean that the Mongols have to be the masters of the country again?
This is absolutely unacceptable.

Be it Zhu Zhanju or Zhu Zhanji, the principal member of the Ming Dynasty royal family could only be Han Chinese.

This is also the reason why King Zhu Xi of Qin began to degenerate after Zhu Yuanzhang granted him a marriage to the Wang family, because Zhu Xi's Wang family was the sister of Wang Baobao, the only famous general in Meng Yuan Dynasty who defeated Xu Da.

Marrying her would mean that Zhu Ping lost the qualification to inherit the throne. How could this make Zhu Ping have a good impression of the Wang family?
By the way, in Mr. Jin Yong’s novels, the prototype of Min Min Temuir is this Wang family.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Zhancheng to marry a Mongolian woman as his concubine. He even does not plan to marry anyone else as his concubine, because he already has a candidate for his concubine.

"Zhan Yun, you have accepted a concubine now, have you considered the candidate for the main concubine?" Zhu Di rode on the horse and asked Zhu Zhan Yun with concern: "Your eldest brother will marry the Japanese emperor when he returns this time, but Our future queen of the Ming Dynasty must not be a Japanese, so she can only be the concubine of eldest brother You.

You two little monkeys have already adopted concubines. It’s time to consider the matter of the principal concubine. Your mother has told me this several times. It’s really time for you two to choose the principal concubine. There will only be two of you this time. Let’s do it together!

First tell Grandpa what kind of women you two like, and Grandpa can arrange for the selection of tribute girls from various places. "

In Zhu Di's view, since Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanjun have already begun to take concubines, the candidate for the main concubine must be considered.Regarding this issue, Zhu Zhanji was still thinking about Sun Ruowei to some extent. Although Zhu Zhanquan told him that the person had been killed, Zhu Zhanji still couldn't forget that woman in his heart.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji was not very enthusiastic about this matter, he just followed his grandfather's decision.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Zhanchun who made it clear: "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own considerations in choosing my concubine."

Hearing this, before Zhu Di said anything, Zhu Zhanji became curious and asked Zhu Zhankun: "Second brother, you have your own considerations. Could it be that you already have a sweetheart? Tell me, yes. Which girl? Is she the daughter of a noble family in Beijing or the daughter of a minister? I hope my mother will send someone to propose marriage later!
Could it be that you like some kind of folk woman?Or do you have any acquaintances in Japan?It can't be the little palace maid you have always brought with you, right?Although she is good, but her background is here, it is difficult for her to be a concubine! "

In response to Zhu Zhanji's questioning, Zhu Zhanqi just waved his hand, and after asking the Dragon Girl's opinion in his mind, he answered: "Since I have been destined to be immortal, how can my sweetheart be an ordinary person? Right now. There is still a lack of opportunities, and when the time comes, I will naturally bring him back and let you meet him."

Zhu Zhanyu's words immediately aroused the curiosity of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji. This was simply saying that Zhu Zhanyu was going to marry a fairy as his concubine.

For Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, this is a Western scene. After all, there are folk legends about various mortals being attracted by fairies, and scholars encountering fox fairies and ghosts. But a relative like Zhu Zhanquan married a fairy as his concubine. Things are still very rare.

In the final analysis, folklore is just a legend, and many things are fabricated or compiled stories. As for whether this is true, no one knows.

Many times, those stories about scholars being attracted by fox fairies, admiring their talents, and helping them are mostly just the literati's own imagination and cannot be taken seriously at all.

But Zhu Zhanquan was different. He had already shown all kinds of miracles, and no one dared to think that what he said was false, or that he just cared about obscenity and made up a deceiving story.

However, in the face of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji's questioning, Zhu Zhanquan was very tight-lipped and unwilling to reveal any information. In order to avoid the topic, he even changed the topic to how the court managed the grassland.

"To manage the grassland, the imperial court still has to send people to the grassland and set up government offices and yamen, so that this vast grassland can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di was quite arrogant and ambitious when talking about this topic, but at the same time he I also understand that this does not happen overnight.

There is no doubt that managing the grassland requires the selection of smart and capable people, but selecting who to work on the grassland is not a simple matter.

Zhu Di had discussed this issue with Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanji before. Officials who can do this job undoubtedly need to have very strong talents, and such people are also very rare talents for the court, no matter who Every place is in need, and the imperial court does not have any spare talent reserves.

Therefore, sending people to the grassland means drawing talents from other places, and who to send to the grassland has become a very critical choice.

Faced with this problem, Zhu Zhanyu remembered what Zhu Gaochi had mentioned to him before, so he asked Zhu Di: "Is Jie Jin still alive?"
