Since Nurhachi is the "Chosen One", Zhu Changluo feels that as a time traveler, he will definitely not be worse than him.

After all, he is not a great mage, nor can he summon meteorites to fight, so if you are afraid of him, just do it!

However, in order not to disturb his judgment on the future direction of history, Zhu Changluo also delayed the task of beheading Nurhachi.

What's more, there are still more Jurchens in Liaodong, and the Shandong Han men have not yet carried out large-scale operations to invade Guandong. The ethnic structure there is still relatively simple, and there is no way to do a good job of infiltration for a while. They can only do it in the form of caravans.

He was trying to find out the news about Liaodong, so actions like beheading were out of the question.

Moreover, they are still speaking a language that the Central Plains people cannot understand, and they don't even have a written language. Finally, it was only after Nurhachi established the Houjin Dynasty that they created their Jurchen script based on Mongolian script, which later became Manchu.

Therefore, in terms of cultural contacts, Liaodong has always been independent from the Central Plains cultural circle. This is the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty did not completely conquer Liaodong for three hundred years.

In the final analysis, cultural penetration is the last word. Let them all identify with the Central Plains culture and learn Chinese characters so that they can take off their ethnic cloak and integrate into the families of Greater China.

Therefore, blind conquest will only bring endless rebellions, consume the national power and patience of the empire, and ultimately result in nothing. The places that should be independent will still be independent, and the places that should be rebelled will still be rebelled. Just like the Ming Dynasty

Places such as Annan and Nuergandusi in the early days have now become a thing of the past and can no longer be held in our hands.

There is also the Western Region, which is now Xinjiang. This land has long been out of the control of the Ming Dynasty. They are now independent and have been invaded by Central Asian countries for hundreds of years. In the end, even their religious beliefs were changed from Buddhism.

Central Asian religions. It can be imagined how strong the penetration power of culture must be. If you ignore cultural invasion and just conquer, nothing will be left behind in the end.

Moreover, the current basic territory of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty is actually about the same size as the territory of Qin Shihuang who unified the six countries in the south and took Baiyue. Compared with the current Big Rooster, it is not a tiny bit smaller.

Therefore, as a responsible traveler, we have a long way to go! If we cannot actually control these foreign lands and make them generate a centripetal force towards the Central Plains dynasty, this journey will be in vain.

Just when Zhu Changluo was thinking wildly, Chen Ju came to Jingyang Palace.

Chen Ju is here, so naturally he can't be turned away like others.

Because what Chen Ju brought was the decree of Emperor Wanli. Therefore, even if Zhu Changluo really couldn't get out of bed now, he had to get up to receive the decree.

When Chen Ju arrived at Zhu Changluo's place, he looked at Zhu Changluo with his head wrapped in a bandage, his eyes full of concern and nervousness.

Chen Ju asked distressedly: "Is Your Highness feeling better now?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Much better. Why did Eunuch Chen come to see me?"

Chen Ju said: "The emperor has a decree for you."

Zhu Changluo hurriedly moved to get ready, but Chen Ju quickly stepped forward to stop Zhu Changluo.

Chen Ju said: "Your Highness is not feeling well, just sit down and listen to the order."

Zhu Changluo said: "How can this be done? My father's will is the imperial edict. How can I sit on the bed and receive it? This is a great disrespect to my father."

Chen Ju said: "It is also the emperor's wish for you to sit down and receive the order."

After hearing this, Zhu Changluo let out an ooh, but still insisted on taking the order.

Chen Ju had no choice but to stop him and wait until Zhu Changluo got up.

Chen Ju began to announce the decree.

"The Emperor's Oral Order."

Zhu Changluo asked: "Honor, Holy Gong."

Chen Ju turned around and replied: "I'm fine."

Then Chen Ju began to formally announce the contents of the decree.

Chen Ju said: "I want to ask how your health is going? Is there anything serious? I want to go out for a walk. Can you come out and accompany me? I appreciate that."

When Zhu Changluo heard Chen Ju pronounce such a homely version of the oral edict, Zhu Changluo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My body is fine, but I feel dizzy occasionally. You can go to Father's Palace for a walk."

Chen Ju said: "Then I am going to take your Highness to the Emperor's side."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, you go."

Later, when Chen Ju was ready, Zhu Changluo rode behind Chen Ju to Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo finally met Emperor Wanli, whom he had not seen for some time.

Now Emperor Wanli is sitting alone in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. There is a charcoal stove made of auspicious beasts and auspicious clouds beside him. He stretches out his hands to warm up the heat in the charcoal stove. He looks haggard. Quite a few.

Seeing this, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but feel distressed. When Zhu Changluo arrived in the palace, he quickly approached Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo knelt down and saluted: "My sons and ministers are here to see my father."

Emperor Wanli came to his senses only after hearing Zhu Changluo's voice. He looked at Zhu Changluo with his head bandaged and felt extremely distressed.

Emperor Wanli asked: "Chang Luo, how are you doing now?"

Zhu Changluo said: "My son is fine. He just gets dizzy occasionally. I think it will be fine if I take care of him for a few more days."

Emperor Wanli nodded, stretched out his hand and stroked Zhu Changluo's head, and said, "It's okay. I'm just afraid that something happened to you."

Zhu Changluo said: "My son, with the great blessing of my father, will be fine."

Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo chatted for a long time, caring about each other word by word.

Finally, Emperor Wanli suddenly said: "Chang Luo, I want to make you the prince, what do you think?"

When Zhu Changluo heard Emperor Wanli suddenly ask this question, Zhu Changluo quickly knelt on the ground. Zhu Changluo said: "I don't dare to expect that. I am the concubine of my father. I am not as noble as Chang Xun's younger brother in terms of status, and not as wise as Chang Xun's younger brother." I am smart. I just want to serve my father and the emperor, and stay by my mother and concubine to fulfill my filial piety."

Emperor Wanli listened to Zhu Changluo's words and said, "What a good boy."

Zhu Changluo said: "My son has always been a good son of my father."

Emperor Wanli continued: "You don't need to worry about your identity. My father has already approved the queen to be your mother. From now on, you will be my legitimate son. No one will make irresponsible remarks about your identity. Moreover, you also You can go to Jingyang Palace to fulfill your filial piety to your mother and concubine as usual. I will not take away your identity as mother and concubine."

When Zhu Changluo heard Emperor Wanli speak like this, Zhu Changluo knelt down deeply and said, "My dear father, I thank you for your kindness."

Then Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo again, and Emperor Wanli said: "Get up. Push me out for a walk. I want to get some air. It's too boring in this palace. I'm almost sick from boredom."

The current Emperor Wanli has completely accepted his fate. When he saw that the oath in the jade box in Concubine Zheng's hand was eaten by insects, Emperor Wanli completely gave up his intention of making Zhu Changxun his heir. Now he just wants to protect Concubine Zheng. , so that Concubine Zheng could survive this disaster safely, he would be satisfied.

Zhu Changluo replied: "Yes."
