Hearing that Emperor Deqing had left him behind, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

But Zhao Junchen didn't say anything, just stopped and quietly waited for Emperor Deqing's orders.

After the elders and the six Shangshu left one by one, the door of the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart was also closed, and Emperor Deqing first looked at Zhao Junchen a few times, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, Junchen, your current age is almost twenty-five, right?" ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned.

Emperor Deqing was proficient in the emperor's mental arts, and every word had a deep meaning. He had also asked Feng Po about his age before, but that was to imply that Feng Po took the initiative to resign from Zhishi. Now I asked Zhao Junchen's age, but I don't know what the article is.

Secretly raised his eyes to take a look, but saw that Emperor Deqing had a gentle expression, as if he was just chatting with Zhao Junchen.

Suddenly, Zhao Junchen remembered a piece of information he got from the inner court a few days ago, could it be ...... Is it your own marriage?

Zhao Junchen's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied: "Your Majesty, you remember clearly, the minister is twenty-four this year, born in July, and will be twenty-five in a few months." ”

Emperor Deqing nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Life is a life, in the final analysis, it is just the four words of 'starting a family and starting a business', and now if you talk about 'starting a business', at the age of less than twenty-five, you have become a member of the household department and the second rank of the court, which is of course too young, but if you talk about 'starting a family', you have not yet married at the age of twenty-four, but it is really too late." ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, although Zhao Junchen was mentally prepared, his mood was still a little complicated, and he didn't know how Emperor Deqing would arrange his marriage.

And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about it, Emperor Deqing's expression became more and more gentle. He asked with a smile: "Now that your marriage has not moved, although you are not in a hurry, I am a little anxious for you, and it is not a way to drag it out like this...... Junchen, do you have a fancy for which girl? If you like it, you can say it clearly. I'm in charge for you. ”

Zhao Junchen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you also know that since the minister entered the court as an official, he has been devoted to court affairs, and he has no energy or heart to think more, plus he has no opportunity to contact a woman of the right age, so naturally he can't find someone he likes." So the marriage was delayed. ”

Emperor Deqing looked like he was wholeheartedly thinking about Zhao Junchen, shook his head and sighed: "Junchen, it is a good thing that you are diligent in government affairs, but you can't delay your marriage, this is a major event related to your life, if you can find a good match, it can also help you a lot in the future." What's more, if you are married, people can also be more mature, no longer a hairy boy in the eyes of others, and will value you more, whether it is public or private, it will only be good for you and no harm. ”

After a pause, Emperor Deqing waved his hand. He also said: "This matter, I ignored it in the past, but now that I have thought about it, I can no longer sit idly by, Junchen, you are loyal to me, and you are also attentive, I can't treat you badly." ”

While speaking, Emperor Deqing stretched out his hand and saw the eunuch Zhang De holding three posts and sending them to Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen was stunned again and took a look. But now in these three posts, there is a portrait of a woman in each clip, and the names and birthdays of these three women are also written below.

Obviously, these three women are the marriage candidates that Emperor Deqing is looking for for Zhao Junchen.

Emperor Deqing smiled: "In recent days, for your marriage. I have always considered it, and among the juniors of the noble ministers of the court, I have carefully selected three women of appropriate age for you, they are Su Xiuning, the eldest daughter of Su Changyi, the current governor of Nanzhili, Chen Zhirong, the second daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and Cui Qianxue, the youngest granddaughter of Cui Mian, the former cabinet elder...... These three girls are now at the right age, and they are worthy of you regardless of their appearance or family background, I also specially asked for their portraits, Junchen, do you have a favorite among them? ”

Zhao Junchen asked suspiciously, "Their family ...... Are they all willing to marry their ministers? ”

Emperor Deqing's face flashed with displeasure, and he said, "Junchen, why do you want to be arrogant? Now that you have achieved such an achievement at a young age, although there are countless young men and heroines in the Manchu Dynasty, who can compare with you? Although the three of them are also noble, marrying you is a good thing they can't ask for, so how can they not want to? ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, Zhao Junchen was silent, just according to Emperor Deqing's instructions, he opened the post in his hand and looked at it carefully.

…………

In fact, the main reason why Zhao Junchen is still unmarried is because of Zhao Junchen's bad reputation between the government and the opposition, as well as the hostile relationship between the crown prince Zhu Heyu and Zhao Junchen!

But for this point, both Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen himself just now tacitly chose not to talk about it.

In this era, men marrying women and marrying marriages are the most important thing to pay attention to the four words "the right person". And Zhao Junchen has now become a second-class member of the imperial court at a young age, and he has won the favor of Emperor Deqing, as if he has a bright future, so between the government and the opposition, the only people who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen are those generations of nobles of the Ming Dynasty, as well as some powerful ministers in the temple.

However, Zhao Junchen's reputation among the government and the opposition is really too bad, and the hostile relationship with the crown prince Zhu and Yu is well known, and those who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen, and the people in charge of the family are all clear-eyed people, so they can naturally see it - don't look at Zhao Junchen's current scenery, but when the prince Zhu and Yu ascend the throne, I am afraid that it will be when Zhao Junchen is executed.

Therefore, these wealthy families who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen, in order to avoid being implicated in the future, naturally will not marry Zhao Junchen just for temporary benefits.

In this way, it also caused an embarrassing situation in which Zhao Junchen was powerful in the court, but he was unable to marry for a long time - qualified wealthy families were unwilling to marry him, and small families who were willing to marry Zhao Junchen were often not qualified.

Therefore, although Zhao Junchen is now twenty-four years old, he has long passed the marriageable age in this era, but he still has not married for a long time, which is also a temple miracle.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Junchen saw the list of three companies in his hand. It's so surprising.

Whether it is Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, Zhang You, the duke of Jingguo, or Cui Mian, the old man of the former cabinet, they should be able to see Zhao Junchen's hidden dangers, and they are absolutely unwilling to marry Zhao Junchen.

But now looking at Emperor Deqing's attitude, it is obvious that the three families have acquiesced to the possibility of marrying Zhao Junchen.

"I'm afraid, Emperor Deqing in order to convince these three families. It must have been used by some means, either promising any benefits, or secretly exerting pressure. ”

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

…………

Thinking about it, Zhao Junchen opened the three posts in his hand and took a closer look.

There is not much content in the post, just the names, family backgrounds, ages, appearances, birthdays and other news of the three women - but Zhao Junchen is not interested in these news.

It's the three portraits sandwiched in the post, between the strokes. It is quite vivid, and the physiognomy and characteristics of these three women are all depicted, and it is obvious that the painter's skills are extraordinary, and it may be the handiwork of the royal painter in the palace.

First of all, Su Xiuning, the eldest daughter of Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, was slender and slender, with a delicate face. The facial features are exquisite, and it seems to have a lovely temperament;

And Chen Zhirong, the second daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, has a good posture and clear eyebrows, even from the portrait, she can still feel a trace of charm and moving, and there is a beauty mole in the center of her eyebrows. But it adds more style. In terms of portraits alone, among the three women, she is the most beautiful;

As for Cui Qianxue, the youngest granddaughter of Cui Mian, the old man in the front cabinet, she doesn't seem to be very old, but she is also a beautiful embryo, with a petite and plump figure, a pair of big eyes that are quite eye-catching, and her demeanor is a little lively and delicate;

But for the portraits of these three women, although Zhao Junchen pretended to read them carefully, he still didn't care.

He really cares. It's the family that these three women represent!

Su Xiuning is the eldest daughter of Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, but although Su Changjing is a local magistrate, he is one year older than Feng Po, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, and now he is forty out of seventy, and I am afraid that he will return to his hometown soon.

Chen Zhirong is the second daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo. However, although the Jing Guogong lineage is a hereditary noble, his influence in the court has always been small - but when he heard the title of "Jing Guogong", Zhao Junchen always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

As for Cui Qianxue, she is the youngest granddaughter of the former cabinet elder Cui Mian, although this Cui Mian is the former cabinet elder, but his means are afraid that even today's Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao are not as good, and he retired after sitting in the position of the cabinet elder for three or five years, the only commendable thing is that this person has always cherished his life, so although he is incompetent, he will never leave anyone behind.

After thinking carefully about the family history of these three women, Zhao Junchen couldn't help sneering in his heart, and suddenly understood the true intention of Emperor Deqing.

Zhao Junchen knew very well that as his power in the court became more and more influential, Emperor Deqing's attitude towards him gradually changed.

In the past, Emperor Deqing always adopted a "complete control" attitude towards Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen's every move in the court was to be instructed by Emperor Deqing.

At that time, Zhao Junchen had no power to resist Emperor Deqing at all, and he could only be cautious and obey his orders.

In the eyes of Emperor Deqing, the importance has increased significantly, but it can no longer be controlled as freely as before, so the attitude towards Zhao Junchen has also changed from "complete control" to "that is, entrapment and prevention".

Today, Emperor Deqing asked Feng Po to return to his hometown in advance, cutting off the possibility of Zhao Junchen's friend Li Lide taking over as the secretary of the criminal department, and then handed over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry to Ye Shanghong, Zhou Shangjing's protégé, which was not only to provoke hostility between Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, but also out of precaution against Zhao Junchen.

And now, he is arranging a marriage for Zhao Junchen, which is for the purpose of enveloping.

It's just that the three women selected by Emperor Deqing for Zhao Junchen have little influence on the power of their families, and it is obvious that Emperor Deqing does not want Zhao Junchen to use this marriage to expand his influence again, and the idea of prevention is still obvious.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen's current power and influence in the court is no longer suitable for increase.

…………

And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about it, Emperor Deqing had already smiled and asked, "Junchen." How is it? These three portraits are all from the hands of court painters, so you don't have to worry that the portraits will not match the real people, I have also seen it, the appearance of these three women is the best choice, I heard that they are all virtuous girls. They are all good matches, do you have a fancy for which one? ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's hesitation, Emperor Deqing thought that Zhao Junchen was thin-skinned, and said with a smile: "Between you and me, you don't have to worry about anything, which one you like is with me." I personally appointed you to marry. ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassed to be a minister, marriage matters, the minister still needs to think carefully, although Your Majesty is so thoughtful for the minister." The minister was extremely moved, but in a hurry, the minister really couldn't decide. ”

Saying that, Zhao Junchen raised his head and said tentatively: "Otherwise, your majesty will be the minister." ”

Now these three women, Zhao Junchen really doesn't know how to choose. Hesitating.

But Zhao Junchen will not hand over all his marriage choices to Emperor Deqing, this is just a temptation.

Emperor Deqing shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's right to make your own decisions about marriage, I have worried enough about you, but I won't choose for you." What's more, you are now a dignified minister of the imperial court, and you are not my prince and grandson, so it is inconvenient for me to make a decision for you......"

After a pause, Emperor Deqing looked at Zhao Junchen's expression was still full of hesitation, and said, "That's it." I also know that it is difficult for you to make a hasty decision, and you should think about it for a few days, not to mention that a portrait is only a portrait after all, even if the artist's skills are good. It is impossible to depict everything, let alone express the expression of the real person's expression......

…… Well, let's do it, it just so happens that Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and I held a small royal banquet in the palace three days later, and called Chen You, the prince of Jingguo, Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, and Cui Mian, the old Cui Mian of the former cabinet, to the palace to attend the banquet, and let them bring their respective families. ”

Emperor Deqing was so enthusiastic that he even did not hesitate to hold a royal banquet in order to match Zhao Junchen's marriage, and Zhao Junchen naturally did not refuse.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen raised his head, squeezed out a touched look, and said: "Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful about the minister, and even specially held a palace banquet for the minister's marriage, the minister was moved, the minister was afraid, and in the future, he could only act loyally and swear to repay ...... death."

Emperor Deqing looked at Zhao Junchen, who was full of emotion in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there is no need for you to die, just remember my kindness to you." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next, after Zhao Junchen and Emperor Deqing talked some more, Emperor Deqing let Zhao Junchen leave.

When Zhao Junchen went out of the noon gate, Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was waiting for him there.

After seeing Zhao Junchen appear, Zuo Lanshan hurriedly greeted him.

Obviously, between the elders of the pavilion and the six Shangshu today, the distribution of these vacancies of real power made Zuo Lanshan very dissatisfied and felt that he had suffered a big loss, so he had been waiting for Zhao Junchen outside the palace, wanting to ask Zhao Junchen for advice.

"Lord Zhao, you're finally here." Zuo Lanshan's expression was full of chagrin, and he sighed: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to suddenly decide on the replacement candidates for those vacancies in the DPRK today, we were caught off guard, but we suffered a big loss, I was going to fight for Li Lide for the position of the secretary of the criminal department, but in the end it fell into the hands of Zhou Shangjing's faction, so that Lin Chengze became the new secretary of the criminal department, and the vacancy of the waiter of the Ministry of Industry was also obtained by Ye Shanghong, Zhou Shangjing's subordinate, we finally pulled out the nail that Huang Yourong planted in the Ministry of Industry, As a result, Zhou Shangjing intervened again, hey......"

Zhao Junchen saw that Zuo Lanshan looked unhappy, but he was relieved: "That's it, who made us short of manpower?" can only eat this loss in front of you. However, after all, I still won the errand of Shandong's political envoy for Li Lide, and now Shandong is having a large number of official vacancies because of the 'Southern Tour Preparation Case', and we can also take the opportunity to promote some officials for our own use and make up for the lack of foundation, which is not necessarily a bad thing in the long run. What's more, Li Lide does have some lack of qualifications, so it is natural for him to go to the local area to experience it, and then return to the center in the future and become a six-book book like you and me. Therefore, Lord Zuo, you must not be upset, and there are many things that you can't rush now......"

After hearing Zhao Junchen's comfort, Zuo Lanshan's expression finally stretched slightly, and after nodding his head, he asked curiously: "By the way, Lord Zhao, I don't know why His Majesty left you to discuss in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, he sees that I am old, but I have not been married for a long time, so I plan to talk about the matchmaker for me......"

Halfway through the words, Zhao Junchen suddenly remembered the inexplicable familiarity in his heart when he saw Jing Guogong, but regardless of Zuo Lanshan's surprise, he asked: "By the way, Lord Zuo, do you know about Jing Guogong's family?" ”

Zuo Lanshan was stunned again, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Is Your Majesty planning to let the Jing Guogong family marry Lord Zhao?" I am not familiar with this Jing Guogong family, but I know that this family has always been low-key, and its influence in the DPRK and China is not great...... By the way, I remember that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian had a marriage with Chen Luoyi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jing, a few years ago, although because the Seventh Prince has not been very happy, he has not officially married, but the relationship between the Duke of Jing and His Royal Highness has always been close......"

After hearing Zuo Lanshan's words, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed.

"Oh? Is the eldest daughter of the Jingguo family married to Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince? This is interesting, if I finally marry the Jingguo family, wouldn't I become a brother-in-law with the Seventh Prince? ”

Between words, Zhao Junchen seemed to be smiling.

……

Well, it's still a big two-in-one chapter.
