Extra Chapter 7: Zhu Biao’S Deathbed Confession [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe In Full]
In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (1415), November 16, Fengtian Mansion (formerly Beiping Mansion).
In the palace, Wanshou Palace, Zhu Biao, who had long abdicated as Emperor Taishang, waved his hand to the chamberlain beside him. Just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help coughing:
"131313......"
After finally coughing, Zhu Biao said hoarsely:
"Bring the medicine!"
Upon hearing this, the chamberlain on the side immediately respectfully presented the medicine and water to Taishang Emperor Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao grabbed the pills on the medicine tray and swallowed them directly with water.
As he took the medicine, Zhu Biao's face, which was originally pale and weak, immediately turned abnormally rosy.
Zhu Biao, who felt that his energy had regained some strength, ordered again:
"Call me the emperor, the emperor's master, and the king of Zhou."
"After arriving, let the emperor come in first. Master Lao Zhan and King Zhou will wait in the side hall for a while."
The surrounding servants did not dare to delay when they heard this, and immediately divided into three groups to invite the emperor Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's master Yan Changqing, and Zhou Wang Zhu Ji at the same time.
Soon, Zhu Xiongying, the nearest emperor, was the first to rush to the Longevity Palace.
Before anyone came in, Zhu Xiongying's anxious voice had already reached Zhu Biao's ears in the dormitory:
"Father, are you okay?!"
There was no reason why Zhu Xiongying wasn't worried, because since the past two years, his father's health had been getting worse and worse.
Especially this year, his father spent most of his time lying on the hospital bed.
Even according to the diagnosis of his uncle King Zhou, it is difficult to say whether his father can survive this year.
So as soon as he heard that his father sent his servant to summon him, Zhu Xiongying immediately put down what he was doing and hurried over.
Zhu Biao, who was half sitting and half leaning on the bed, looked at Zhu Xiongying who looked worried in front of him, showed a gentle smile and said:
"Father is fine, it's just that his deadline is approaching in the near future."
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, his eyes widened.
The deadline is approaching, is this okay?!
If this is called nothing, then what does it mean for his Eminem to be nothing?!!
Zhu Xiongying immediately turned to look at the waiter beside him and said coldly:
"Call the doctor immediately!"
However, as soon as Zhu Xiongying's order came out, he was interrupted by Zhu Biao:
"No need, I just saw the imperial doctor."
"I came here not to ask you to find an imperial doctor, but to tell you something."
After hearing his father's words, which seemed like he was explaining his final affairs, Zhu Xiongying immediately knelt down and said with slightly red eyes:
"..."
Zhu Biao patted the soft chair next to his bed and said:
"Don't kneel, it's cold on the ground, sit here."
Then Zhu Biao looked at the servants around him and ordered:
"Except for the Emperor, all the others will go out and come back when called."
After all the chamberlains and maids had gone out, Zhu Biao held Zhu Xiongying's hand and said:
"I guess my father won't survive this winter."
As soon as Zhu Biao said these words, Zhu Xiongying was about to speak again but was blocked by Zhu Biao again:
"Stop talking, listen to your father."
"Father probably won't be able to survive this winter, but that's okay. Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal things in life."
"Your grandpa Huang left happily. Even if I leave now, I will also leave happily."
"So don't be afraid of death, and don't resist death."
"Death is just a matter of changing to another place to reunite with some relatives who have not been reunited for a long time. This is a blessing."
"And the first thing I want to tell you is that when you get old in the future, you must not go crazy and pursue immortality, you know?!"
There are too many stories in history about emperors who were originally wise and mighty, but ended up getting dizzy when they got old, and then they began to pursue immortality, and finally the whole court was ruined.
Zhu Biao didn't want Zhu Xiongying to become an emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu in the future, well [here specifically refers to the fact that he didn't want Zhu Xiong to pursue immortality like Emperor Qin Laiwu did.
But in terms of achievements, Zhu Biao still hopes that Zhu Xiongying can be as glorious as Emperor Qin and Han Wu.
Of course, it would be better if we could follow the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
So even though Zhu Xiongying doesn't seem to be interested in immortality now, Zhu Biao still has to give Zhu Xiongying a shot in the arm.
Zhu Xiongying nodded and said in a low voice:
"Well, I remember it, Hou!"
After seeing Zhu Xiongying agree, Zhu Biao continued:
"The second thing is that the number of Huaxia people under your uncle's rule is only about four to five million each.
"But these three to five million Chinese people are enough for them to assimilate millions to tens of millions of uncivilized natives in their respective continents for the time being."
"So in Jinzhou (North America), Chuzhou (South America), and Qizhou (Oceania and Australia), the migration of Chinese people can be temporarily stopped later."
"But the Qin Continent (Europe), Yan Continent (North Asia), and Yong Continent (Africa) where your Uncle Qin, Uncle Yan [and your brother Zhu Youdou] are located are different.
"They still need to move more Chinese people there so that they can help them occupy and rule their respective continents faster and better."
"Especially the Qin Continent (Europe) where your Uncle Qin is located, even though it has been massacred by decades of wars by your Uncle Qin, there are still about 40 million foreigners on it."
"However, under your uncle King Qin's rule, including the Huaxia people who have migrated over the years, there are only 7 to 8 million Huaxia people.
"This number only accounts for one-sixth to one-fifth of the alien population in Qinzhou, which is very dangerous."
"If you do not further increase the population of the Chinese people under your rule in Qinzhou, it will not only be difficult for your uncle Qin to assimilate the foreign people in Qinzhou, but it is also possible that the people who have won the banner will in turn assimilate. Lose."
"So in the future, you must insist on continuing to move our Chinese people to Qinzhou where your Uncle Qin is located, and at least increase the population of the Chinese people under your Uncle Qin's rule to one-third to two-thirds of the population of the foreign people. About one percent!”
"This way you can consider reducing or temporarily stopping the migration of Huaxia people to your uncle, King Qin."
"And in Yanzhou (North Asia) where your uncle, King Yan, is located, the population of the Huaxia people under his rule is still only about four million to six million.'
"Although this number can assimilate millions to nearly ten million uncivilized indigenous people in Yanzhou (North Asia), Yanzhou (North Asia) is bitterly cold, so the number of Chinese people there still needs to be increased."
"When the number of Huaxia people who have migrated to Yanzhou (North Asia) exceeds 10 million, can you consider reducing it [or temporarily stop the migration of Huaxia people to your uncle Yanzhou]."
"As for your younger brother Zhu Youdun, King Yong, you just established a state in Yongzhou (Africa) a few years ago. The Huaxia population under your rule is also the smallest, with only more than three million people."
"The population of the Huaxia tribe is still too small. When the population of the Huaxia tribe under the rule of your brother Yongwang (Zhu Youdun) exceeds five million, you can consider reducing it, or temporarily stop giving it to your brother Yongwang." Zhu Youdou moved the Chinese people. "
"Do you understand?!!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded and solemnly said:
"I promise to my father that before I abdicate, I will relocate 20 million Chinese people for Uncle Qin, 10 million Chinese people for Uncle Yan, and 5 million for Brother Yong. Chinese people!"
Zhu Xiongying also knows the importance of immigrating to other overseas continents.
After all, whether their Lao Zhu family can truly unify the world and unify the world in the future depends on whether their Lao Zhu family can export enough people.
Only when the population exported to the outside world is large enough can the Old Zhu family be able to firmly occupy and conquer other continents.
And 35 million Chinese people may sound like a lot, but for the current Ming Dynasty, it is not too much.
After the Ming Dynasty's twenty-two-year rule of the Hongwu Emperor, the population increased from 50 to 60 million at the beginning of the founding of the country to more than 1 billion and 20 million people.
Afterwards, the Ming Dynasty went through the twenty-one-year rule of his father's prosperity. The population of the people once again increased sharply from more than 120 million people at the beginning of the prosperity to more than 410 million people.
Although after overseas immigration and various births, old age, illnesses and deaths over the years, the population under the Ming Dynasty dropped again to more than 350 million.
But even if another 35 million Chinese people continue to migrate outward, they will only account for about one-tenth of the current population of the Ming Dynasty.
…………Please give me flowers…………
Moreover, these 35 million Chinese people will not all be moved out at once, but will be moved out in batches during his more than ten years, or Tu and Zhu's ten years of rule.
On average, that's just one to two million Chinese people migrating out every year.
After more than ten or twenty years, the Ming court has carried out various propaganda on overseas continents.
And due to the skyrocketing population, the amount of state-owned land allocated to the people of the Ming Dynasty is getting smaller and smaller, and people who have immigrated to other overseas continents come back from time to time to promote it.
Nowadays, the people of Ming Dynasty are not too resistant to immigrating to other overseas continents.
After all, in order to attract Ming people to go to other overseas continents, the welfare conditions provided by other overseas continents are really good.
Therefore, in summary, it is possible to relocate 35 million Chinese people within more than ten years, or within 20 or 30 years.
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's assurance, Zhu Biao's face became even more satisfied and he continued:
"The third thing, do you need me to take Queen Taishang down?!!"
Zhu Xiongying was stunned when he heard this:
"What?!!"
Zhu Biao repeated:
"Ms. Lu is a little too partial to her son Yunwen. When I am here, she will not make any demands on you.
"But if I'm gone, she will most likely ask you to agree to something difficult for Yunwen."
"So do you want me to take her down with you to cure your possible difficulties in the future?!!"
Regarding Lu, Zhu Biao's feelings are also somewhat complicated.
After all, they have been married for so many years, and it is impossible to say that they have no feelings for Lu at all.
So even though he knew that Lu was too partial to Zhu Yunwen, he didn't say much.
After all, Zhu Xiongying is not a parent-child to the Lu family, and it is somewhat unrealistic to force the Lu family to treat Zhu Xiongying like Zhu Yunwen.
Therefore, as long as Lu's preference for Zhu Yunwen does not affect Zhu Xiongying, then Zhu Biao will let it go.
But if he dies and Lu is still alive, then her preference for Zhu Yunwen is likely to affect Zhu Xiongying
.
After all, if Mrs. Lu, in her capacity as Queen Taishang, asks Zhu Xiongying to reward Zhu Yunwen generously.
If Zhu Xiongying doesn't agree, he may be said to be unfilial.
If you agree, it will most likely affect Zhu Xiongying, or make Zhu Xiongying feel wronged.
Whether it's the former or the latter, Zhu Biao doesn't want to see it.
So Zhu Biao thought about it and finally decided to hand over the decision-making power to Zhu Xiongying.
If Zhu Xiongying found it troublesome, he would take Lu with him when he died to eliminate the possibility of Lu causing trouble to Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying, who understood the meaning of his father's words, shook his head and said:
"Father, there is no need to be like this. Queen Taishang cannot embarrass me."
"If my father is really worried that Queen Taishang will embarrass me in the future, just leave me a will for Queen Taishang, and there is no need to let her be buried."
To put it bluntly, even a man as grumpy as his imperial grandfather did not let his concubine be buried when he died.
If his father allowed his concubine to be buried, it would be a big stain on his reputation.
He was not willing to let his father's impeccable reputation be stained with a stain at this last moment.
She was just a Taishang Queen, so how could she make things difficult for her? The worst she could do was just say "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" and send her back and that would be it.
If this fails, his father will leave a will specifically for Queen Taishang, so that Queen Taishang cannot request and order Zhu Xiongying to give any reward to anyone.
With such a will, it is also enough to cut off the trouble and embarrassment that Queen Taishang may bring in the future. This is much better than the reputation brought by being buried.
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's reply, Zhu Biao also showed a smile on his face and said:
"Okay, I will write a letter specifically for the Lu family later!
For Zhu Biao, he was willing to bear the notoriety of having his concubine buried for the sake of Zhu Xiongying.
But this is just a willingness. If he can avoid the notoriety of being buried, he still doesn't want to bear the burden of Qi. .
