Zengfu,

I heard that someone outside the door asked to see him, but he didn't expect that it was the prince who came to give the dowry, the prince has always acted without a form, Zeng Jian didn't care, but cared: "Why did His Royal Highness leave the palace?" ”

Zhu Houzhao presented it with a big grin: "This is the dowry of the palace, it's still hot, you can take a look, it won't look good if you dry it for a while." ”

Zeng Jian was stunned after seeing the words, and looked at it for a long time.

Isn't this Li Dongyang's word, His Royal Highness went out of the palace and asked for a pair of words specifically for him? Suddenly I was a little moved.

Zhu Houzhao stared straight at Zeng Jian with his eyes, he was really embarrassed to be a little embarrassed if he had a bad idea, a pair of calligraphy and paintings were not worth a few dollars.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Take it well, the palace is going back to the palace." ”

"The minister will send His Highness back."

"No, there is a sedan chair in this palace."

Zeng Jian hurriedly followed him out, only to see Zhu Houzhao on a broken and old sedan chair, feeling uneasy, so he ordered a few family members to escort him back to the palace.

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi was holding the book, and he was a little tired from reading, so he put it down and asked, "The prince is in the East Palace?" ”

Mu Bin hurriedly said: "I just came back from outside the palace, first I went to Yan's Mansion, then to Lord Li's Mansion, and finally to Zeng's Mansion. ”

Dowry?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, since giving birth to Zhu Houzhao, there are always surprises in life.

The Ministry of Rites has already given a dowry to Zeng's house, and this kid has given it back, and after thinking about it, it can be regarded as filial piety, so he doesn't care.

"The prince's wedding is imminent, stop for a while, let the Ministry of Rites teach the prince's etiquette, don't be ashamed." always felt that Zhu Houzhao would make some trouble, and Emperor Hongzhi advised.

There are many etiquettes for the prince to get married, and Zhu Houzhao must not understand it.

Today, Yan Chengjin went to the iron smelting factory outside the city, and heard that Song Jing's big furnace had been built, and he didn't know if it could be done.

Here, there are many workers moving ore.

The Ming Dynasty also opened up ore mining to the people, and the commercial tax was still 30 taxes and 1.

After the iron tools were exported, suddenly there was a great demand for civil metallurgy, and the furnace fire of the iron smelting plant was not extinguished day by day.

Some displaced people have also been absorbed.

Yan Chengjin saw a huge shaft furnace, iron ore and coke were poured into the top of the furnace, and the fire was raging underneath, and the workers were pulling the bellows hard.

It should be a newly built furnace.

Zhou Yu commanded like thunder, telling the workers to work harder, so as not to let the furnace temperature fall.

Song Jing saw Yan Chengjin: "How do adults know that the students are here?" ”

Song Jing didn't know that the note was sent by himself.

"Can it burn?"

Song Jing was a little ashamed: "A stove was scrapped, and the students improved it again, and this time, it finally burned up." ”

It's really burning, no wonder the furnace was wasted, and Zhou Yu didn't come to ask for silver.

The first person to benefit from this technological improvement is Zhou Yu.

The amount of iron ore that can be invested at one time has increased several times, and I don't know how much iron can be smelted, far exceeding that of other civil metallurgies, and even the official metallurgy of the imperial court.

After many discussions between the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian, they jointly set the auspicious day for the prince's wedding.

It's the Fourth of May.

All divisions have made this matter an important item and put it on the agenda.

Fu Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to the East Palace to personally teach Zhu Houzhao all kinds of red tape.

What to do on the day of the wedding, what to say when you see Your Majesty and the Empress, and the order of worshipping the four directions of heaven and earth.

"Your Highness can't do that...... Your Highness is wrong, wrong...... Look at the old minister......"

All kinds of voices surround you.

Even Master Wang of Zhan Shifu stretched out his feet and made a gesture, Zhu Houzhao made a bitter face as if he had eaten fly.

There has been no feast in the past few days, and I can't see Lao Gao.

"This palace is going to go out of Dagong."

"Didn't Your Highness just come back?"

"Hongu has a bad stomach."

"Go, go, go, don't squat for too long, come back early." Han Wen hurriedly commanded.

Zhu Houzhao turned a corner, ran to Hanyuan with a smoke, and complained when he saw Yan Chengjin: "Lao Gao, this palace wants to withdraw from the marriage, you have an idea." ”

The people of Han Yuan were like five lightning bolts struck on their heads, and they suddenly turned black.

"The crown princess is gentle and virtuous, why is Your Highness not satisfied?" Yan Chengjin asked.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, there are too many etiquettes for a big wedding, even if she doesn't get married, this palace can let her come to the East Palace to sleep."

Scumbag ......

However, it is a normal situation in Daming.

Many children of large families have completed their enlightenment at a young age, and people like Yan Chengjin, who were born poor and have not yet been enlightened, are abnormal.

Wang Shouren deeply agreed: "The big wedding is indeed too complicated. ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness knows that this is impossible, Your Majesty has already issued an edict to the world, how can there be any reason to take it back." ”

Not long after Zhu Houzhao ran away, Han Wen ordered someone to chase after him and invited Zhu Houzhao back.

The days of May are warm and cold.

As early as a few days before the wedding, there was a joyful atmosphere in the capital.

Zeng Jian couldn't help but burst into tears, he was fed up with the days of being impeached by the officials, didn't he just blow up Wang Gongchang, as for arresting the old man for impeachment for two months? Now there is finally a happy event.

The prince's wedding was arranged according to the weekly ceremony.

Two days later, the crown princess was married into the palace, and the scene was huge, which was enough to see the attention of Emperor Hongzhi.

Empress Zhang's biological mother, Jin, was also admitted to the palace and shared the joy of her grandson.

Emperor Hongzhi sat at the head of the seat, and Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang sat on either side.

Yan Chengjin was fortunate to rely on Hanlin to lecture and be the prince's teacher, so he came to eat.

Everyone had a smile on their faces.

The Empress Dowager Lao Huai was pleased: "Now that the prince is also married, although the daughter of the Zeng family is not from the common people, the mourning family believes that the Zeng family will be like the queen in the future, and the mother will be the world." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Empress Zhang smiled: "The Zeng family Ding is prosperous, and the palace also likes the crown princess." ”

Empress Zhang's biological mother, Jin, also nodded with a smile.

The Zhang brothers standing behind the Jin family looked like Emperor Hongzhi owed them silver, with a bitter face.

Han Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, breathed a sigh of relief, the prince has always loved to cause trouble, and the wedding day can pass so calmly, which can be regarded as completing the task of the Ministry of Rites.

Yan Chengjin stood close to the palace gate and caught a glimpse of a eunuch, desperately running this way.

Running too fast, his hat shook crookedly, and he rushed into the temple, ruining the happy atmosphere.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What's the matter! ”

"Your Majesty...... The side hall of the Kunning Palace caught fire. The eunuch panicked.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, and the bedroom of the Empress and I caught fire?

Baiguan took a deep breath.

Could it be that Zhu Houzhao put it in?

Yan Chengjin felt that it was impossible, although Zhu Houzhao acted in a strange style, he was very smart, and he would never go to burn his parents' bedroom without a brain.

The eunuch said: "Fortunately, the palace ladies found out in time and have been saved." ”

"How did it burn?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

"It's the palace maid of Shangyi Prison, lighting incense, and accidentally lighting the hall."

Yan Chengjin felt that he was afraid that things were not so simple.

You can light the temple with a light incense, you are blind, and today is the day of Zhu Houzhao's wedding, and there is no burning of the house for the wedding.

He could think of it, and so could Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was solemn: "Jinyiwei thoroughly investigates this matter." ”

"Yes!" Mu Bin had a layer of dense sweat on his forehead, and Jin Yiwei was in the palace, and such a thing happened.
