Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters beautiful marriage
After the investiture ceremony, Lao Zhu was not in a hurry to let his old friends leave. Instead, he continued to watch the theater, went to Zhongshan to observe astronomy, and went boating on the Qinhuai River.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is like a peaceful ordinary old man. As he gets older, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold heart becomes warmer and softer, and there is always a smile on his angular face.
When entertaining old friends, especially with Tang He and Xu Da, he would encourage them to sing Fengyang Flower Drum Opera... Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang in this life had a much easier time.
The political son Zhu Biao could basically handle it, and the Zhongshu Province presided over by Sun Yan was also quite worry-free. The Ming Dynasty entered a rare period of stability and peace.
Zhang Ximeng doesn't have much to keep busy. In the past few years, he revised the History of the Song Dynasty, and recently completed the History of the Yuan Dynasty and prepared it for publication.
In addition, Zhang Ximeng also wants to write a general history, describing in detail the history of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors up to the present for thousands of years.
This is destined to be a huge book, and even Zhang Ximeng is not sure whether he can finish it in his lifetime.
Anyway, you have nothing to do, just find some fun!
However, there is a little bastard Zhang Chengtian here, and Zhang Ximeng is destined to have no time to relax.
The little fat man turned around somewhere and came to ask Zhang Ximeng again.
"Dad, do you know Fulin Country? Is this country real or fake?"
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is indeed such a country. There is an article about the Fulin Kingdom in the Yuan History that I revised... In fact, this Fulin Kingdom has a very good background. To be precise, it should be called Eastern Rome, or...
Eastern Da Qin."
"Da Qin?"
"Yes, it is the great Hercynian country recorded in our history books. We call it Great Qin. Later, this country split into two parts. The western half perished early, and the eastern half has been surviving until today, but it doesn't look like it will live for many years."
Zhang Chengtian listened carefully and then said: "Dad, so the Prince of Fulin Kingdom is not a lie?"
"What prince of Fulin Kingdom?" Zhang Ximeng was puzzled.
Zhang Chengtian quickly told his father that he was just an overseas barbarian. He went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said that he was the purple-clothed prince of Fulin Kingdom. He came to meet the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to form an alliance and help each other...
After listening to this, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing out loud. Although his world history was not very good, it was still very clear when Constantinople fell. And the so-called Eastern Roman Empire, in the last few hundred years, had nothing but tragedy.
Tragedy, ally with them?
That's a pit, like a bottomless abyss.
The Ming Dynasty only formed an alliance with them when they had nothing to do.
"We are just expanding outwards, there is no need to rush to get involved in the affairs of the far west. What's more, the Fulin Kingdom can't support the wall with mud. If they come, they are willing to do business and study abroad. But they are not worthy to talk about forming an alliance.
!”
Zhang Chengtian suddenly realized, "I understand, this Fulin country is just a shabby old man who came to us to show off. He really thought he was a nobleman from Tianhuang. What the hell!"
The little fat man left without saying anything else, but only three days later, Zhang Chengtian came to Zhang Ximeng's study again.
"Dad, dad! It's different this time, something big has happened!"
Zhang Ximeng glared at him, "If the sky falls, it's not a big deal. Why don't you just huff and puff!"
Zhang Chengtian lowered his voice, "Dad, this is really no small matter! You said that the prince of Fulin Kingdom, he, he is planning to marry us!"
"Marriage?" Zhang Ximeng was slightly startled, and suddenly realized something, and even looked a little solemn, "What exactly did you say? Please tell me in detail."
Zhang Chengtian said it carefully... It turned out that after listening to Zhang Ximeng's words, he actually checked the contents of Fulin Kingdom and found that although this country was quite glorious in the past, almost all its territory has been lost, and only one city is left.
There wasn't much, and he looked like he was in a precarious situation and his life was not going to be long.
There is no doubt that such a country has little alliance value.
No wonder his father was dismissive. Zhang Chengtian went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and planned to have the Prince of Fulin sent away... But the other party insisted on seeing him. Zhang Chengtian was also very curious, so he found an interpreter and talked to this prince.
The foreign prince chatted for a while.
This conversation was not trivial, Zhang Chengtian learned many remarkable things.
After Rome, there is no Rome... In Europe, and even in the entire West, the word Rome has a special meaning.
It's as if even though the Han Dynasty died, the people of the Central Plains still regard themselves as Han people... Rome's status in the West is still higher than that of the Han Dynasty. After all, in the Central Plains, after the Han Dynasty, there was still the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was passed down through the ages, and
There is no shortage of pride.
But if the West is not good enough, if Rome is gone, it will fall apart.
And the emperors who had a little bit of success wanted to restore the glory of the Roman Empire, and hoped to add the title of Roman Emperor to themselves.
Some people think that the Roman Emperor is not enough, and a Holy Rome should be added.
So although Eastern Rome was in a miserable state, no one wanted to get involved in this bottomless pit.
But the name of Eastern Rome is still very important.
Another point is that in the Western world, women have the right to inherit.
Of course, women from the Ming Dynasty can also inherit property and serve as heads of households, but there is another problem. In the Ming Dynasty, princesses cannot theoretically inherit the throne.
Son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter... don't even think about these.
Moreover, Lao Zhu has dozens of sons and grandsons, so there is no need to consider the issue of princess succession.
But both in the East and the West, there is indeed the problem that the monarch cannot give birth to children and has no direct heir... In the East, according to the strict male inheritance system, people will be selected from the clan to inherit the throne based on their closeness. For example, Song Renzong had no heirs.
He adopted Yingzong from the clan and inherited the throne.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no successor to Zhengde, so he was inherited by his cousin Zhu Houcong.
Things are a little more complicated in the West. In the West, daughters can inherit, which means the queen is allowed to appear.
Daughters can inherit, sons-in-law also have heirs, and any grandson or granddaughter can inherit the position of king as long as they can be traced back to their biological relationship.
"Dad, the prince of Fulin Kingdom told me that he is willing to let his sister marry the Ming Dynasty. If the marriage between the two parties really changes, he is willing to support the descendants of Eastern ancestry to inherit the throne."
Zhang Ximeng frowned and was stunned... Marry the purple-clad princess of Eastern Rome, and then obtain the inheritance rights of the Roman Empire... Isn't this a Rakshasa operation? After the fall of Constantinople, they married the purple-clad princess and had the inheritance
Right, and even calls itself the Third Rome?
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty wanted to marry the Eastern Roman Empire and then obtain the inheritance rights?
In this way, even if the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty would still have a reason to march westward... This matter seemed to be a mess.
Zhang Ximeng was lost in thought. Zhang Chengtian looked at his father with confusion and asked curiously: "He didn't lie, did he? Can a son-in-law inherit the position?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "I'm not telling a lie. In fact, whether you can inherit it depends on your strength. They Fulin Kingdom can't even protect themselves, what do you expect them to do? But with this status, it will be easier to send troops to the west.
, this is true. All in all, everything must be justified and justified. Only in this way can we be justified."
Zhang Chengtian nodded repeatedly, "I understand, it's like buying a ticket. Whether you can get it depends on your real ability."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "By the way, who among His Majesty's princes is more suitable for marriage?"
Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, Zhu Biao was not going to be able to do it, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan were not going to be able to do it either. Zhu Di had just married Xu Da's daughter, and no matter what, he couldn't let Zhu Laosi take advantage. If he married the purple princess, he wouldn't be able to do it.
God!
The only one left is the fifth child, Zhu Ru, and a few other gangsters.
"Dad, I think those princes are not very good. Even if you give them a chance, it will be useless."
Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids, "What do you think of Zhu Xiongying?"
The eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty can definitely do it.
Zhang Chengtian just shook his head and said, "Dad, if you do this, will His Majesty be a little worried?"
"Worry?"
"That's right! I think your Majesty regrets letting the prince marry a daughter of the Chang family. It would be safer for the future queens and concubines to come from ordinary families. The bloodline of our Ming royal family is already noble enough. There is no need to interfere with the Fulin Kingdom.
Together, if a prince with blond hair and blue eyes is born, how will he inherit the throne? How will he win the trust of others? "
I have to say that the little fat man has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and has gained rich experience and knowledge.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Xiongying to marry a purple-clad princess, and there are not many other princes who are suitable.
"By the way, did the prince tell you how old his sister is?"
Zhang Chengtian thought for a while and said: "She shouldn't be very old, only about two or three years old, about the same as the third or fourth child..." Zhang Chengtian said this casually, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
"Dad! Look, don't take advantage of the old Zhu family. Just let the third or fourth child marry this princess. Isn't this a good thing?"
Zhang Ximeng glared at him fiercely, "Your third and fourth brothers are still wearing crotchless pants! If you want to get married, why not you?"
Zhang Chengtian said with a smile: "I want to marry someone who can cook. I can't get used to barbarian food... Dad, really, just listen to me. As long as this princess in purple marries our family, we will have a family in the West."
Influence. At that time, your old ideas will be able to spread smoothly. I know that you always have the desire to educate the world and unify the world... But you also know that just by fighting, you will not be able to finish it in a few lifetimes. "
"If we can take this opportunity to promote cooperation and let my brother marry the purple princess... Oh! Father, what a great thing this is!"
Zhang Ximeng still had a dark face, "You kid, don't always dream about it. Don't talk about the Princess in Purple Clothes. Even if it is the Princess in Zhu Yi of the Ming Dynasty, I won't agree! You kid, don't be so whimsical!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hand and told Zhang Chengtian to get lost.
Zhang Chengtian had no choice but to withdraw, but he had no intention of giving up. If he could accomplish this, it would be an excellent help to the Zhang family and the overall situation.
As for the third and fourth children, the princesses of the Millennium Empire and the nobles in purple, they are not wronged... As the second brother, I have the obligation to help the brothers get benefits. No matter what, I must not take advantage of the people of the Old Zhu family.
"The status of the Grand Master in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to that of your Patriarch, even more so... We in the Ming Dynasty adhere to the teachings of the Grand Master, and hundreds of millions of people are all disciples of the Grand Master. You want to marry the prince,
It's far better to get married to the Grand Master, so you can decide for yourself where to go!"
