Chapter 66: The Prince's Marriage

Empress Dowager Sun's father, Zhu Qizhen's grandfather, the former Ningbo Sun Zhong, is no longer there.

The old man's last thought on his death was to ask the emperor to be gracious, let his son Sun Jizong inherit the title, and let Count Huichang be reinstated.

It's pitiful to say, but Zhu Qizhen can't agree.

He actually gave Sun Jizong a chance.

He let Sun Jizong go to the battlefield, hoping that he could make contributions on the battlefield, so the credit is a little less, and Zhu Qizhen can also raise his hand and give him a little preferential treatment.

All the thoughts of the Queen Mother.

But I don't know if Sun Jizong is incompetent, or unlucky, so many wars, Sun Jizong is safe, but peace and security also means no merit and no fault.

Even if Zhu Qizhen wanted to release the water, it would not work.

Zhu Qizhen had no choice.

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, there are not a few titles he has awarded, there are several princes, and there are dozens of Hou Bo. However, Zhu Qizhen strictly adheres to the principle that non-military merits cannot be knighted, of course, perhaps because of political reasons, some standards have been relaxed or tightened, but the most basic standards have never changed.

That is, military merit.

Every time the Queen Mother talks about this matter, Zhu Qizhen can only talk about the ancestral system.

The matter of knighting a relative, that is, a special case issued by Emperor Xuanzong, was not there before. Now that Huichangbo has given up because of the matter, he naturally has no reactive power and cannot recover.

But in ancient times, filial piety was the most important.

Even if Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, there are some things that he can't do.

He even acted with the cabinet, and Zhu Qizhen wrote a decree of knighthood for the cabinet to refute it. Then Zhu Qizhen went to Sun's place to express helplessness.

For this matter, Sun sent people to give gifts to the cabinet scholars. The cabinet scholars are all monkey-like figures, and they don't need Zhu Qizhen to ventilate, so they know what to do.

And as far as political concepts are concerned, military generals don't want their relatives to be knighted, why do we want a knighthood who is not killed by himself with a knife and a shot, or by the ancestors with a knife and a shot, why can a good daughter be born to ascend to the sky in one step.

For this matter, they are also unwilling in their hearts.

And the civil official's vigilance against his relatives is even heavier than that of Xungui, and Zhu Qizhen put Shi Jing, that is, Zhu Qizhen's brother-in-law, in the position of Shaofu.

It has been criticized by many officials.

Naturally, he is reluctant to be crowned Changbo, not to mention, once a gap is opened today, the maiden family of each generation of queens in the future is estimated to be knighted.

Therefore, even if they do not have the support of the emperor, they are not willing to agree, let alone the emperor has hinted at it now. Therefore, the decree was further refuted.

Empress Dowager Sun was furious that day, came to the Qianqing Palace, and reprimanded Zhu Qizhen for all the gentlemen in the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to reply a word.

But the people in the cabinet are not used to the queen mother, Li Xian immediately retorted, in his words, it seemed respectful, but the words were like knives.

The Queen Mother hid her face and left.

Zhu Qizhen could only appease the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's intention was broken again, and Li Xian was symbolically punished, and this matter was over.

The Queen Mother is not a fool either.

If at the time, I didn't understand what was going on.

But after thinking about it, I also figured out what was going on.

Since he can't resist his son, he won't mention this matter.

It's just that he gave some more silver money and cloth to the Sun family.

It's just that in this way, there is a bit of a gap between mother and son.

The Forbidden City is very large, and the distance between mother and son is not far, but if you are unwilling to communicate with each other, you will not be able to say a few words in your life.

So this time, Wynne suddenly said that the Queen Mother wanted to see him.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought about it in his heart, and said secretly: "What is the matter?" ”

With such a mother, Zhu Qizhen also has troubles. The matter of Uncle Chang is only one of them, the Queen Mother Duo Shijing doesn't like it, because she is the husband of Princess Shunde, she wants Zhu Qizhen to promote Princess Changde's husband, and there are such and such short things in the family.

In fact, even if she is the Queen Mother, some of the ideas of the Empress Dowager Sun are no different from those of later generations of housewives, and she never cares about what Zhu Qizhen is doing.

Because Empress Dowager Sun knows that her son has always been assertive, and he can defeat the tile spur, in terms of governing the country, there is no pickiness in the decision, but she doesn't understand human accidents and relatives and affection.

Empress Dowager Sun didn't know that the emperor himself didn't talk about this.

Zhu Qizhen will go to China one by one, the affairs of the Sun family, the affairs of Princess Shunde, the affairs of Princess Changde, or the affairs of King Yu, in the harem, who provoked the Queen Mother.

It's just that after coming to Kunning Palace, I found that Queen Qian was already here.

After Zhu Qizhen saluted the Empress Dowager Sun, he just felt in a trance that he was already very old when he looked at the Empress Dowager. Although Empress Dowager Sun is still trying to dress up, the charm of the original is no longer half of it.

After all, Emperor Xuanzong has been gone for decades.

Empress Dowager Sun's Shaohua is also gone.

Zhu Qizhen felt a little sad in his heart. With Queen Qian, there is a stark contrast.

Zhu Qizhen said to Queen Qian: "Xin Tong, you are also here." ”

Empress Dowager Sun said: "How can she not be there? Emperor, I ask you, where is my grandson now? ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that my grandson that the Empress Dowager Sun said was not Zhu Qizhen's other sons, but Zhu Jianjun.

The so-called emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the young.

This is the case with the royal family, Zhu Jianjun determined his inheritance as soon as he was born, and this inheritance was so deep-rooted that Zhu Qizhen could not shake it.

Therefore, he was favored by the palace up and down, and it can be said that he was favored by three thousand.

The Queen Mother even takes her eldest grandson with her all the time. Zhu Qizhen wanted the prince to go to the main hall to study, and it took a lot of talk, and finally the queen mother let go.

Since then, the crown prince has rarely been in the palace.

Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen would have to worry about what the prince would be like in the future if he was better than the hands of the women in the deep palace.

Fortunately, it seems that the prince has not grown crooked.

Zhu Qizhen listened to Empress Dowager Sun ask the prince at this moment, probably thinking about the prince again, smiled slightly, and said: "Mother, Jun'er will take on a big responsibility in the future, so naturally I want him to watch and listen more, know what Daming is like, and preside over the world's major affairs in the future." At this moment, Jun'er should be in Guangxi, but her mother can rest assured that there will be no problems with Jun'er. ”

Zhu Qizhen also attaches great importance to this son.

Every night he would read the recital about the prince before he fell asleep.

He didn't get married and have children in his previous life, but he only has such a son in this life, and this kind of heart-wrenching father's heart can only be experienced now.

Empress Dowager Sun sneered and said, "Emperor, you have always had an idea, I can't talk about you, but there is one thing, you have to do it." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What did my mother say? ”

Empress Dowager Sun said: "The prince's marriage." ”

Zhu Qizhen said meaningfully: "Isn't it too early? ”

Now the prince is only seventeen or eighteen, and in Zhu Qizhen's concept, such children belong to early love. didn't know that his words made the Queen Mother furious.

The Queen Mother said: "Early, do you want Jun'er to be over twenty years old and not get married?" If this spreads, won't you let the world laugh at it, you don't like me to take care of things, and I haven't been in charge, I can't stand this one anymore. Aren't you married to the queen at fifteen? Why did you get to the prince, just procrastinating, what do you mean by being a father? ”

"This palace still has to hold his great-grandson."

Zhu Qizhen was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face.

It turns out that even if you become an emperor, you are nothing in front of your own mother. Zhu Qizhen could only kneel down and plead guilty and said: "The child knows his mistake, please calm his anger." ”

Indeed, Zhu Qizhen also figured it out.

This incident was indeed his fault, and he subconsciously looked at modern things from the perspective of later generations.

For a boy in later generations, it is a little early to get married at the age of eighteen, but it is not early at all in this era, and as the prince of a country, it is a little late.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen was in a trance for a while.

If you just count the age of this life, he is only in his thirties, his son will get married, and it is estimated that in a year or two, he will have grandchildren.

There is an indescribable sense of absurdity.

"Get up." The queen mother naturally wouldn't let the emperor kneel all the time, but she said categorically: "I don't care what you think, immediately recall the prince and handle this matter." ”
