Chapter 420 Trying on new clothes
The Tatar wedding team was quickly determined. Zamusu, who was captured by Zhu Zaijing, served as the messenger and sent Qimuge from the grassland to the Ming Dynasty. Capital.
While Zhu Zaijing was looking at the memorial for selecting a princess for his younger brother Zhu Zaizhen, and at the same time looking at the new clothes sent by the Shangyi Bureau, there were literally ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.
Zhu Zaijing never dreamed that he would actually be kissed for a day. Is this still the Ming Dynasty he is familiar with?
Didn’t it mean that the Ming Dynasty was not at peace with each other?
Why is it different from what is said in the book?
But in fact, the saying "No marriage, no compensation, no land cession, no tribute. The emperor guards the country, the king dies" was made up by later generations.
It is not the so-called ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty at all.
And it wasn’t because the ministers stopped him, or because of his stubbornness to save face, that Ming Dynasty almost abandoned the capital twice and went south.
So looking at the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty, apart from the fact that the princess did not marry outside, other bad things actually happened to some extent in these three hundred years.
For example, the clause "not to cede territory", when King Yan's rebel troops were directly targeting Jinling City, Jianwen's little cutie and his group of cuties never wanted to negotiate peace with King Yan, and created a Ming Dynasty version of Jiangjiang. And to rule, they were willing to split the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the throne.
But at this time, King Yan took a step forward to become supreme and stepped back into the abyss.
So Jianwen’s cutie failed to seek peace.
There is also the decision to abandon the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi during the Xuanzong period. In fact, it is no different from ceding territory. Moreover, in the continuous Ming and Mongolian wars that lasted for hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty actually controlled less and less territory. , Hetao Di and Nuer Gandusi are gone.
Not to mention the snow-covered plateau and the old lands of the Western Regions, none of which exist.
Therefore, if Ming Dynasty fans want to advocate that Ming Dynasty "does not cede land", it is more heartbreaking than ceding land, so they will just throw it away!
There is also the issue of "disharmony".
It is true that some princesses of the Ming Dynasty never married outside, but the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were not necessarily happy either?
Either she is tricked into marrying a consumptive man, or she is married to a bald man with an unattractive appearance.
Moreover, the couple's life is closely watched by the maids and eunuchs who manage the princess's palace. It is more difficult to meet her husband than it is for Tang Monk to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore, adult princesses in the Ming Dynasty also generally had short lifespans, and few lived long.
To say that they are not as high-risk as the emperor and princes, they only need to live a pampered life, but they still died so early, which shows that it is not easy to be a princess in the Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, these princesses are worshiped by all the people in the world, and they are also nobles of the world. If they can shoulder the responsibilities like the princesses of the Han and Tang Dynasties, with the technological level and national power of the Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to die with the northern grasslands. Kneel for more than two hundred years?
Perhaps it could have been completely absorbed and fused without a single blow.
You must know that after the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the reason why the Mongolian princes and nobles on the grassland were so docile was that in addition to their own force, they also spared no effort to make peace with the grassland nobles. The princess sent them and also took in many daughters of prairie princes as concubines and concubines.
This time, the grassland was gradually tamed and completely bound together.
If you just rely on hot-blooded fighting and killing, not only will you not be able to solve the problem, but you will also drag the Central Plains Dynasty into a quagmire of war from which it will never be able to escape.
So sometimes things like politics should not be too populist. Instead, we should use gentle methods, and as soon as possible, we should not use war methods that are extremely harmful and consume a lot of money.
Because almost all the injuries and casualties caused by the war are borne by the lowest level civilians.
As for those trolls who were full of shit in the end, they sat back and enjoyed the good life without going to war or burning the flames of war into their homes.
Therefore, if you are not smart and are deceived by these people into becoming cannon fodder, in the end, the people who deceive you may also accuse you of not having a sense of the overall situation. This bunch of idiots were allowed to say all the damn good things, but in the end it was someone else who got hurt.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing really hates those bastards who pretend to be populist and nationalistic, ignoring the bottom class everywhere and hating some empty enemies who don’t even know where they are, to divert Problems, deflecting conflicts, and harming those at the bottom.
So, Zhu Zaijing is actually quite optimistic about "harmony", a political tool with the least harm and the greatest benefits.
It’s just that this kind of thing is not in line with the values that Confucianism has always emphasized.
Therefore, sometimes Zhu Zaijing can only think about it in vain.
But Zhu Zaijing never expected that the old guy An Da would actually learn the reverse operation and send the princess on the grassland to the Ming Dynasty for marriage. This was a bit caught off guard.
"My lord, please try on the dress. There is still time. If it is not suitable for you, you can also ask the embroiderers of the Shangyi Bureau to change it."
The handprint of the Shangyi Bureau The eunuch carefully reminded Zhu Zaijing in a low voice.
Zhu Zaijing put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at the thin and tall eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau. He also knew that there was no point in embarrassing this eunuch. The final result would be whatever it was.
He could only accept it passively.
And thinking on the bright side, I am also making a sacrifice for the peace of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also my duty.
Also, if Zhu Zaijing remembers it correctly, in the original historical time and space, after Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others completed the "Anda Tribute" of great historical significance, it seemed that the other side of the grassland He also sent several women from the Western Regions to Long Qing to enter the palace as concubines.
Later, after these beautiful concubines from the Western Regions died of inexplicable illnesses in the harem, Zhu Zaijing also became depressed and almost couldn't survive.
It can be seen that if you are lucky, maybe Anda will be able to send a few beautiful and exotic women over.
So Zhu Zaijing sighed and said: "Okay, let's try it."
Zhu Zaijing stood up and stood up. The eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau who sent the dress excitedly took the dress over. Trying on Zhu Zaijing's clothes.
After a lot of trouble, these eunuchs also conducted detailed size data collection based on Zhu Zaijing's current figure and the current appearance of the dress.
After finishing it, the eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau bowed to Zhu Zaijing with great gratitude, and then went back to improve the size of the dress according to Zhu Zaijing's new size data, and strive for Create a new dress that fits well without losing dignity and elegance.
Ms. Chen was watching the process of Zhu Zaijing trying on the dress from the side room, and she felt inexplicably disgusted.
Because as a concubine, she entered the palace together with the princess. At that time, only the princess and Zhu Zaijing formally bowed to heaven and earth to complete the ceremony of husband and wife.
And she could only get Zhu Zaijing's favor with the other concubines who had entered the palace and waited for Zhu Zaijing's wedding to be completed.
Now a concubine is being sent to the grassland, but she is treated like Zhu Zaijing wearing a formal dress to welcome her. How can this not make Mrs. Chen feel bad?
