Chapter 378: Why Didn’t Daming Get Married?(1/2)
Zhu Jingyuan listened to Charles's description and probably understood what happened to Charles's family.
Not getting married and having no normal heirs would have an even more serious impact on the Ming Dynasty royal family.
The infertile prince of the Ming Dynasty had no chance of becoming the heir.
The rules in France are different. They have a clear system of primogeniture, and Charles is the unquestionable heir.
Even if he has physical problems, even if he is really unable to have children, or even if he is mentally retarded or even disabled, he will still be allowed to inherit the throne normally.
It's just that if he has no heirs and no son succeeds him after his death, then his uncle or cousin must inherit the throne according to the order of succession within the family.
Queen Victoria in British history succeeded to the throne as her niece.
Her uncle's only child, Charlotte, died in childbirth. The other two uncles were not married at all, neither of them had legitimate children, and they both became the king of England according to the order of succession.
However, being able to get married normally and have legitimate children is certainly the best thing.
Especially now, Shire's situation is even more special.
Louis XVI directly took out the throne and forced Charles to marry and have children.
Zhu Jingyuan considered this situation in his mind and asked Charles uncertainly:
"Do you want me to find a doctor from Daming to take a look at you?"
Ciel reacted fiercely and instinctively shook his head, waved his hands and said loudly:
"No! If you want to see a doctor, I will see a doctor in France. I don't want to see a doctor.
"I don't want outsiders to know about my situation. We don't want to become the laughingstock of the aristocracy among the people..."
Zhu Jingyuan was a little speechless:
"If you don't want to see a doctor, what do you want to do?"
Charlotte suddenly said a little unnaturally:
"I want...my best friend to show me...what's the difference between us..."
Comparing the size and differences between brothers, it is really something that only the closest "brothers" would do.
But Zhu Jingyuan was very insensitive to this kind of thing. He had never done anything like this with anyone in his life.
So now it was Zhu Jingyuan's turn to shake his head and wave his hands excitedly:
"What's the use? I'm not a doctor, and I don't know how to treat your problem.
"Even if you need to find someone to see you, even if you don't find a doctor, you should find someone with experience."
Charles was a little confused:
"Experience? Who has experience in this?"
Zhu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and considered his words:
"I've seen a lot of people in this area, probably Sister Yao..."
When Zhu Jingyuan said this, he suddenly understood, and immediately clapped his hands gently and said:
"I asked the Jiaofang Secretary to find an experienced mother to give you a private look.
"They have seen too many different kinds of things. Let them judge your situation for you first.
"If you need treatment, go to their place and let the doctor treat you privately."
Charles felt that what Zhu Jingyuan said made sense, but he still felt instinctive worry and resistance:
"I mean, let Sister Yao take a look...will they have any problems? Will they spread my story everywhere?
Zhu Jingyuan waved his hands with a smile and said:
"You are worrying too much. For people like them, no matter how strange the situation is, it is normal.
"I can respond to the gag order, and no one will gossip about it.
"And, you don't need to use your real identity to go.
"Even if the news does leak out, no one else will know about Louis Charles."
Charles basically accepted Zhu Jingyuan's statement, but he always felt guilty on such personal issues.
Zhu Jingyuan was asked for advice again, and Zhu Jingyuan repeatedly gave assurances and comforts before finally accepting this arrangement.
Zhu Jingyuan contacted officials from the Xintianfu Jiaofang Department and asked them to select a few mid-range prostitutes from Sanqing City to examine Charles.
Sanqing City instead of Xintianfu City because there are more merchants in Sanqing City.
They are mainly Thai and Western merchants from Taixi and Beiyinzhou. New Tianfu City does not allow ordinary Thai and Western merchants to enter.
In Sanqing City, Charles can use his identity as a Thai businessman to go to the house for inspection, which will not easily arouse suspicion.
The highest-level prostitutes were for the arty aristocrats and literati, and these were the more famous ones in history.
They do not receive many people on weekdays, their personal practical experience is not actually rich, and they are often not proactive enough.
The lowest-end prostitutes receive too many people on weekdays. The key is that the ingredients are too complex. Even if they undergo physical examinations on time as required, they are still prone to problems, and professional ethics are difficult to guarantee.
So choose from mid-range prostitutes, who usually target businessmen and shop managers.
The people who interact with them are of a certain standard, and the working environment is usually very clean and tidy.
Their traditional cultural and artistic level is usually not very high, but their service level may be the highest.
Among them are the "aunts" who are relatively proactive, the most mature and plump, and the best at serving others.
Finally, four prostitutes were selected, all aged from 25 to 35, with excellent historical reviews and no disputes.
The key is that I have just had a physical examination and have not started working again during the three-day observation period.
Ask the relevant officials to inform them not to start construction even after the observation period is over to ensure that Shire can become the first batch of guests.
Zhu Jingyuan asked someone to prepare a false identity and clothes for Charles, and arranged for two servants to escort him for examination.
When everything was arranged, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Zhu Jingyuan checked the time and went directly to Charlotte's residence.
Charlotte's status is quite special, and the key is the long separation. Zhu Jingyuan stayed in Charlotte for three days in a row.
Zhu Jingyuan was considered to be twenty years old after the Chinese New Year. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family, the number of times was no longer limited.
In fact, this rule is very strict when it comes to the bottom line of sixteen years old, and is very loose when it comes to the upper limit of twenty years old.
There is no need to really reach the age of twenty for all parties to stop interfering in their lives.
The main reason is that after four years of strict control, life habits have usually been formed.
A very small number of people who have a special interest in this matter may be released with a vengeance after liberation. Such people have usually lost their chance of succeeding.
Most normal princes and grandsons usually still maintain their original life patterns after they reach the age of twenty.
On the basis of the original two opportunities with a relatively fixed time, plus three or five times to deal with various situations.
Zhu Jingyuan is actually completely liberated now, so he can continue to live in Charlotte.
It is now the end of the year, and all aspects of work have basically stopped, and Zhu Jingyuan rarely becomes relaxed.
Three days later, Zhu Jingyuan returned to his residence and continued to discuss the movie with his grandfather.
Six days later, on December 29th of the third year of Ankang, Charles returned from Sanqing City.
In the living room of the courtyard where he lived, Charles was a little excited and told Zhu Jingyuan happily:
"My dear friend, thank you so much. I am not sick at all and I don't need to see a doctor.
"The elder sister of the He tribe that you helped me find said that my situation is very common among the people of Ming Dynasty. She said that she has seen not only 100 but also 70 or 80 of them.
"She checked and cleaned me up, and helped me exercise and maintain it for a few days. Now it can basically be used normally.
"As long as I continue to exercise in the future, after my skin and muscles are completely relaxed, I will be no different from a normal person.
"Troop, this is normal...
"Those sisters are really nice. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I wouldn't even want to come back..."
Zhu Jingyuan looked at Charles with a strange expression.
His face is a little white, the circles around his eyes are a little dark, and his feet are a little hollow.
The losses seem to be relatively high these days.
I don’t know whether it was because I was being squeezed hard by my aunts, or because the so-called exercise process was too torture.
Or maybe Ciel wanted to come back before the end of the year, so he trained too hard.
But he was obviously in very good spirits and felt completely relaxed.
After all, the unspeakable secrets that had been hidden for many years have been resolved, and it can indeed be considered a spiritual relief.
Zhu Jingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and was truly happy for Charles:
"As long as it's normal, I think you seem to be consuming more these days. You should take a good rest after the Chinese New Year.
"When you return to France, ask your parents to introduce you to your wife..."
