The gift of the captives, the auspicious day of the zodiac has been chosen, and we have to wait for more than half a month.

The prince's marriage couldn't wait, and it would have taken a month to observe the character of the girl who entered the palace according to the normal process. But the emperor ordered the observation period to be shortened, fifteen days is enough, why do you observe for so long?

Playful, snarky, bad-tempered, picky...... If you show it a little, you will be eliminated.

In the end, there were fifty people left, and three of them were selected by the imperial concubine.

One is the Lu family, the daughter of the Dingzhou supervisor; One is the Song family, the daughter of a commoner in the Tang Dynasty; One is Zhang, the daughter of a thousand households in Cizhou.

Not to mention that the Empress of the Ming Dynasty was born poor, there are few who are really poor, most of them are the daughters of middle- and lower-level officers and talents. After all, the eunuchs are selected nationwide, and it is impossible to go to the countryside through the streets and alleys, and they must be well-informed to know, and then ask the eunuchs to pick their daughters at home. Or let the local officials recommend it, and the officials recommend it, of course, it can't be civilians.

From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Houzhao's father, there are only two civilian queens. One of them, because he was too poor, sold his daughter to the town guard eunuch, and the town guard eunuch sent her to the audition.

The three girls were sent to Haoshan Garden, and the imperial concubine introduced: "The three of them are well-read, dignified, and equal. ”

Zhu Houzhao casually looked at the information, the Lu family was an old and poor daughter, the Song family was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the Zhang family was the daughter of a low-level military attaché. Out of personal preference, Zhu Houzhao said: "Zhang's daughter is the best. ”

It was decided that the Zhang family was the crown princess, and the other two daughters were side concubines.

When the Son of Heaven or the prince gets married, he still has to follow the six rites, but he doesn't have to greet his relatives. also have to give a dowry, divination, auspiciousness, selection of dates, etc., after this set of processes, it is estimated that Zhu Houzhao is dead.

Therefore, the prince is not in a hurry to get married, Zhu Houzhao just wants to see what his daughter-in-law looks like.

The three prospective daughters-in-law were all given seats, and they sat there helpless.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Yan'er's marriage is decided, but Zhen'er's marriage is undecided, have you chosen a good person?" ”

The imperial concubine thought for a while and said, "Wang Su is quite suitable. ”

Zhu Houzhao was obviously stunned and asked, "Wang Erlang's second son?" I heard that at a young age, he has already been admitted to Xiucai, and he is better than his brother Wang Ce's reading. Such a talent, he will be a jinshi in the future, how can he be willing to be a lieutenant of the horse. ”

The imperial concubine said, "He is willing." Yun'er and Wang Su are on good terms, and once said to Yan'er in person that he is willing to give up his fame and take the princess as his wife. ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became happy: "It's a seed of infatuation, and he knows the roots, Zhen'er won't be wronged if he marries him." Let Wang Su be a colt, no matter whether Erlang is willing or not, this colt is going to be decided! ”

……

Huang E did not know that her son would be a colt, only that her husband had brought back a son from the battlefield.

This son's name was Ma Fang, he was only thirteen years old, and he was taken captive to the Ordos Ministry as a slave for five years.

When Wang Yuan swept the remnants of Ordos, Ma Fang took the opportunity to seize the horse and kill people, and robbed the Mongolian herdsmen with bows and arrows, shot several people one after another, and asked to join the army to serve the imperial court.

Seeing that he was young, the sergeants refused to accept it, and Ma Fang went to the right acropolis of Dongsheng again, kneeling in front of Wang Yuan, who was burning down the Babai Room: "Boy Ma Fang, please take the general in, and follow the general to kill the Mongols in the future!" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Do you know how to ride a horse-drawn bow?" ”

"Yes," Ma Fang said, "I am a slave rider, and since last year, I have been herding sheep for the Mongols on inferior horses." I can also shoot arrows, make my own earthen bow, and practice secretly. Just the other day, I took advantage of the chaos to snatch bows and arrows and shot six Mongols in succession! ”

Wang Yuan asked, "How old are you?" ”

Ma Fang said: "Thirteen years old. ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "Do you know who I am?" ”

Ma Fang shook his head: "I don't know, but you must be a general." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "If you want to kill the Mongols, you can, go back to study with me first." ”

In this way, Wang Yuan accepted a righteous son.

Ma Fang in history, even more legendary, was destroyed at the age of eight, separated from his parents, and was plundered by the Mongols as a slave. He secretly practiced horsemanship and archery, and when Altan Khan converted Han slaves into commoners, Ma Fang joined the Mongol army.

Altan Khan hunted, suddenly encountered Mongolia, everyone fled, Ma Fang shot the tiger to death on the spot with an arrow. Altan Khan admired his bravery, bestowed him with a horse and a bow, and promoted him to be his personal guard.

Following Altan Khan's southern and northern wars for several years, Ma Fang continued to rise in Mongolia and knew all the Mongolian tribes well.

However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Altan Khan's attack on the border, Ma Fang stole his horse and defected to the Datong military camp overnight, and then followed Zhou Shangwen to join the army. Hundreds of battles of all sizes, suffering dozens of wounds, all with fewer blows, each battle will be a great victory, and a total of dozens of Mongolian leaders will be captured. Jiajing has a praise saying that "Ma Fang is not brave", and the Mongolians call it "Ma Taishi".

Historically, the reason why Altan Khan "paid tribute" and was willing to worship the Ming Emperor as a brother was that Ma Fang took refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

Before Ma Fang's defection, although the Ming border army often "searched for sets", they were all small units in action. And Ma Fang often led a large force of cavalry to rush directly into the Hetao area, attacking and killing small Mongolian tribes, burning Mongolian pastures, and sometimes even attacking the main Mongolian forces. Under his influence, Zhao Cao, the chief soldier of Yansui, and Jiang Yingxiong, the chief soldier of Datong, also often led large troops to the north.

The Mongols attacked Datong, and the town of Yansui did not come to the rescue, but led troops to rush into the Hetao. On the contrary, the Mongols attacked Yansui, and Datong Town did not come to the rescue, and directly led troops into the Hetao.

After several consecutive times, Dayan Khan's nest was raided in various ways, and he did not dare to go south on a large scale again.

Historically, Ma Fang and his eldest son Ma Dong were both officials and governors of the rear army, and the rest of the sons were all commanders and commanders. The second son, Ma Lin, was the Liaodong general soldier in the Battle of Salhu, and that battle was a mess.

Now Ma Fang was taken home by Wang Yuan to learn and practice with his other sons.

I didn't pay much attention to the cultural class, but I was active in playing with knives and guns, and I also pestered Song Linger's dowry guards to ride horses.

In the martial arts arena, the children of the Wang family were practicing archery, and Song Linger personally supervised it with a horse whip.

"Smack!"

Seven-year-old Wang Ji was distracted and was whipped in an instant.

Wang Su was actually distracted, he was not interested in practicing martial arts, thinking that it was a waste of time, it was better to read more books and do more experiments.

However, under the perennial practice, Wang Su can be regarded as both civil and military, and he can also carry a knife to cut people at critical times.

Only Ma Fang is the most serious, this kind of life is not easy to come by, and I can't wait to live one day as two days. is the cultural class he doesn't like, and Ma Fang is also trying to overcome it, but unfortunately his foundation is too poor to keep up.

Suddenly, Huang E came to the martial arts arena and said to Wang Su, "Su'er, come here." ”

Wang Su immediately put down his bow and arrows and ran over with a smile.

Huang E asked, "Do you like princesses?" ”

Wang Suxiao's face flushed, bowed his head and was silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Huang E said: "The Zongren Mansion has sent someone, do you really want to be a concubine?" ”

Wang Su replied: "My father doesn't object, but my mother makes the decision." ”

"You fathers and sons are willing, what can I do?" Huang E was so angry that he turned around and left.

The tuba has been scrapped, but fortunately there is still the trumpet.

Huang E was too lazy to talk to his eldest son, so he hurried back to teach his youngest son, Wang Zheng, who was only three years old, to read and write.
