Chapter 105 Four Concubines
"Then when do you plan to start implementing it, and how should a businesswoman marry? Do you have any words?"
Zhu Fang grew up with Zhu Biao, and he knew a lot about Zhu Biao's thoughts. He also guessed now that this businesswoman and this tax payment are related.
"If a businesswoman wants to enter the palace, her family must have a tax payment list for more than ten years, and there must not be any illegal records. Only businesswomen whose families have achieved this will be eligible to enter the draft.
The list, and those who have paid taxes for the longest time and have the largest number can enter the final regulations, and there cannot be too many drafts. In the future, there will be regulations. Each emperor can only draft once, and must draft once. Every time
There must be four concubines who are scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, and the four noble, virtuous, and virtuous concubines must be available, and they must be arranged for these four concubines. This is also a sign that the royal family treats the world equally."
While drinking tea, Zhu Biao revealed everything he had planned about paying taxes and selecting concubines.
"All civil and military officials are scholars?"
Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Biao and asked, this will be very important at that time. Civil servants are considered to be soldiers, but military officers are not considered to be soldiers.
"Yes, both civil and military officials are scholars! Civil and military forces must be developed simultaneously, and they must not compete with each other, leaving one family alone!"
Zhu Biao said without thinking that all civil and military officials were scholars, which meant that there were no outsiders. Otherwise, just by saying this, those civil servants would have called him a coward.
Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the world has been dominated by the noble and the military, and after hundreds of years of development, this can be said to be a truth recognized by the world. Even in later generations, Qi Jiguang even wrote to Zhang Juzheng.
He wanted to call himself Mr. Qi, his lackey, and even gave Zhang Juzheng a seal dog kidney.
You must know that Zhang Juzheng treated Qi Jiguang differently. During his reign, Zhang Juzheng gave Qi Jiguang a green light for his political career. Even the door of the Zhang family was always open to Qi Jiguang. No matter how deep the night was, no guard dared to block the teleportation.
The messenger of letters.
He even said in his letter: "Commander Qi's talents are rare among today's generals."
But even so, he had no objection to Qi Jiguang's self-proclaimed lackey Xiao Xiao, and he openly informed his relatives and friends about this matter.
From this, we can imagine that this is a solid truth in the Ming Dynasty. Both sides are accustomed to this kind of thing, and it is not surprising.
"Are the fourth concubines arranged for the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants? What about the arrangements for the noble concubine, the imperial concubine, and the queen?"
Zhu Ru asked, there are four more positions among the four concubines, and how should they be arranged.
"The queen must be selected just like now, and she must be Xiaojiabiyu from a commoner's family. This cannot be changed. The imperial concubine can be assigned to the woman he likes the most. The imperial concubine is for military commanders and nobles, and these are all
They have to be selected, and as an emperor, you must marry all eight positions. People in these positions cannot be left out, and no vacancies are allowed. The emperor is not allowed to have a single wife!"
Zhu Biao filled up all the positions in the harem and left none empty. The reason for this was known to the other three people. That is, the emperor could not have an only son. He must have at least two sons, otherwise big things would happen.
of.
It's like the later Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang and his queen played some kind of drama of being a couple for a lifetime. It seemed that they were so affectionate and loving, but in fact they broke the legitimacy of the throne.
inherited.
Zhengde was the only prince without a backup. Once something happened to him, it would mean that the orthodox succession to the throne would be completely cut off. And if he had a direct brother, Yang Tinghe might not kill him.
After all, not everyone is like Chongzhen, who can still entrust the person who killed the late emperor to a high position.
Although Yang Tinghe was eventually played to death by Emperor Jiajing, his assassination of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty cannot be explained clearly. When Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was ill for a long time, Yang Tinghe opposed the replacement of the imperial physician, and did not allow the ministers of the court to have contact with him.
It was said that he was just overindulging in sex, and that he could recover with more rest, which eventually led to his death.
In addition, after a fifteen-year-old boy was elected emperor, it seemed that he was trying to gain power for himself, but he failed and chose a little emperor who was easy to control.
And the reason why he dared to play this was because Zhu Houzhao had no brothers or heirs.
Therefore, Zhu Biao's requirement that all eight positions in the harem must be filled is for this reason. As long as these positions are filled and the rain and dew he requires are achieved, then future emperors will have at least several sons, so there will be no
The direct lineage of the royal family will be severed.
The other three people also understood the hidden meaning of what he said. It was just to have more sons. They didn't have any objection to this. None of them had two or three sons.
In this era, it is a blessing to have many children, and it is even more blessing for the country to have many children for the emperor.
The three of them nodded in agreement.
But then they began to ask Zhu Biao whether he wanted to take in as many concubines as he wanted this time.
And when will the selection of concubines for Zhu Yunxi begin? Now that his position as crown prince has been decided, should the selection of concubines also begin?
What these three people talked about was all about Zhu Yunqi, and now Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Yunwen, had been thrown aside by them and was not mentioned at all.
Zhu Yunwen was having a hard time. None of his uncles went to beat him. His legs alone had been broken seven or eight times. Zhu Biao knocked him out every time.
Those who go to the main world for treatment usually end up feeling dizzy on the way there.
The guys who went to beat Zhu Yunwen were all numerous. At most, their arms and legs were broken, which meant some pain, but not fatal.
Moreover, the actions of these princes were approved by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. According to their original words, as long as they are not beaten to death, it is your own business as to how to fight.
So, now, eating, sleeping, crying, and beating Yunzhen have become a daily thing, but it is no longer as cruel as at the beginning, just beating when you are angry.
That's all.
"Next year will be the time for me to choose concubines to enrich the harem. After all, our father just passed away this year, so it is not suitable to start the matter of selecting concubines. Let's come back next year. I want to fill the four concubines this time, but the matter of business girls will be done first.
Just take it slow and wait until Yunxi comes to power to start. By then the tax issue should have been settled."
