Chapter 705. Marriage.

……

……

During this period of time, there have been more and more important government affairs of the imperial court, and under the tacit understanding of Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen and others, the major factions have also stopped the party struggle, and the officials are busy.

At present, there are three most important things in the imperial court, namely the arrangement of the Shaanxi-Gansu border, the cleaning of the six departments in Nanjing, and the relief of disasters in various places. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

These things are all around the account opening department, so Zhao Junchen is also the busiest among the hundred officials, whether it is the logistics of the border guard town, or the collection of evidence of the six departments in Nanjing, or the collection of money and food to support the disaster, all need Zhao Junchen to personally intervene.

In addition, Zhao Junchen also attaches great importance to the agricultural reform plan, and spends a lot of effort to supervise and implement it.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen's plans to buy military towns, infiltrate the inner court, control local yamen, and manipulate merchants are also ongoing, and Zhao Junchen also needs to personally watch and control the overall direction.

Therefore, during this time, Zhao Junchen almost didn't even have time to rest, he was often busy with one thing, and there were already two other things to Zhao Junchen to deal with.

Fortunately, Zhao Junchen is still old, if such a busy fall on a few old ministers, I am afraid that he would have already been tired.

It can be said that since coming to this world, Zhao Junchen has never been as busy and tired as he has been during this time.

However, although Zhao Junchen is physically and mentally exhausted, his mood is more of an exhilaration.

First of all, Zhao Junchen's several plans are going well, and after a while, even Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing can't restrain Zhao Junchen's development, and the stone that has been pressed on his heart for a long time is finally a little looser, so even if Zhao Junchen is busy and tired, his mood is still much lighter after all.

The second is that Zhao Junchen is not only busy with his personal authority now, but also suffering for the country and the people, this feeling is very different, and the sense of responsibility in his heart also makes Zhao Junchen full of motivation.

Finally, I have to say that power is the best aphrodisiac for men, which makes people indulge in it and can't stop, and Zhao Junchen is like this now!

In the busy, the plans are progressing in an orderly manner, occasionally encountering some troubles, but the overall is quite smooth, and when the plans have generally achieved results, it has been more than half a month has passed, and the time has entered the beginning of August.

And the marriage of Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue is scheduled for the seventh day of August.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, at the court meeting on this day, Emperor Deqing discussed the progress and adjustment of several major court affairs with the officials, and saw that everything was going smoothly - at least it seemed to be smooth - Emperor Deqing's expression was also very satisfied, faintly a little relaxed, to be honest, not only the officials were busy during this time, even Emperor Deqing did not rest.

Then, Emperor Deqing remembered Zhao Junchen, the hero behind the scenes during this period of time, and turned his head to look at Zhao Junchen.

"Zhao Aiqing!"

With the call of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen immediately came out and responded: "The minister is here!" ”

Emperor Deqing nodded to Zhao Junchen with kindness and praised: "During this period of time, most of the government affairs of the imperial court are related to you, and you have handled it very well, which is really fortunate." ”

Zhao Junchen lowered his head and said: "Doing things for the court and sharing worries for Your Majesty, the minister doesn't feel happy at all!" ”

Emperor Deqing suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I remember that your marriage with Cui Qianxue was set on the seventh day of the eighth month, that is, the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Deqing to suddenly mention his marriage, but he soon understood that Emperor Deqing was going to show grace.

During this period of time, Zhao Junchen has handled all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and the various plans of the imperial court can go smoothly like this, and Zhao Junchen is definitely a great contribution, so even the Qingliu officials who are most unaccustomed to Zhao Junchen on weekdays, after seeing Zhao Junchen's achievements, they have to admit that the imperial court is indeed inseparable from Zhao Junchen at present.

Zhao Junchen's merits and hard work, Emperor Deqing naturally saw it in his eyes, and it was a matter of course that he planned to show grace and envelop him.

So, Zhao Junchen also reciprocated, and replied with a touched face: "I didn't expect Your Majesty, you to remember the affairs of the minister in addition to your busy schedule!" Your Majesty remembers clearly that the minister was indeed married on the seventh day of the eighth month! ”

Emperor Deqing also had a pleased expression, and said slowly: "As the so-called starting a family, people in the world always start a family first and then start a business, but when I came to Zhao Aiqing, it was the other way around, first set up a career, and then became a family affair, on the one hand, you started a business too early, on the other hand, you started a family too late!" Now that you are finally getting married, I am deeply gratified in my heart, and when you marry a wife and have children, you will be more stable in the future, which will also be beneficial to the court...... Speaking of which, Cui Qianxue is still the one I got to know you, she is a good girl, and she has a life-saving grace for you, so don't let her down in the future. ”

Zhao Junchen naturally nodded yes and said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, the minister will definitely work more hard for the court and His Majesty in the future, and he will also treat Cui Qianxue well." ”

It stands to reason that it is not allowed to talk about personal matters in the court, but since Emperor Deqing took the initiative to take the lead, and Zhao Junchen is the second only powerful minister in the court after Zhou Shangjing, naturally no one dares to say anything.

In fact, when the officials saw Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen chatting with such a calm expression, they were more envious in their hearts, and they only felt that Zhao Junchen was deeply attached to him.

But soon, something that made the officials even more envious appeared.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's answer, Emperor Deqing's expression became more and more satisfied, and he said: "During this period of time, there have been many political affairs in the court, Junchen, you are really fortunate, I heard that you only rest for less than three hours every day during this time, if you continue like this, it will be really bad for your health, seeing that your wedding date is approaching, and several things in the court have come to an end, I can't bear to let you suffer again......

…… In this way, in the next five days, I will give you a holiday, so that you can concentrate on your own marriage, enjoy the life of the newlyweds, and when you officially get married, I will send someone to give you a generous gift! In addition, your acquaintance with Cui Qianxue is my own hand, and now that the two of you are married, I can't get out of the matter, so this marriage will be given by me! ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing's words, Zhao Junchen's face was full of gratitude, and he bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, you are so compassionate, the ministers are inscribed, Your Majesty is Shengming!" ”

Zhao Junchen really wants to take a break now, and Emperor Deqing's will is also in the middle of it, anyway, even if Zhao Junchen is resting, the second household and industry departments are still inseparable from Zhao Junchen's control, and many major events in the court are also inseparable from Zhao Junchen's contribution, so Zhao Junchen is not worried about what will happen if he leaves the temple for a few days.

Emperor Deqing smiled and nodded, and then nodded to the big eunuch Zhang De beside him, and saw the big eunuch Zhang De take out a holy decree, step forward and preach loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I heard that Cui Qianxue, the daughter of Cui Yu, is dignified and respectful, and now she is in the year of cardamom, and it is the time to be married in the boudoir; Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, is an important minister of the country, with outstanding merits, and I am very important, and now he is an adult, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman and match. It can be called made in heaven and earth, in order to become a beautiful woman, Cui Qianxue Xu married Zhao Junchen as his wife, all etiquette, handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to jointly manage, in August on the seventh day of the month of the good day to complete the marriage, Qin this! ”

After hearing Emperor Deqing's holy decree, the officials were even more envious!

In the Imperial Palace, in front of hundreds of officials, Emperor Deqing personally gave marriage to Zhao Junchen, which was originally a great grace, and this marriage decree used the word "system said", not "edict", which is a great honor for Zhao Junchen, you must know that the word "system said" means that this holy decree was written by Emperor Deqing himself, and "edict" is often just a ghostwriter of eunuchs or ministers around the emperor, the meaning is completely different, obviously Emperor Deqing attaches great importance to Zhao Junchen!

The most important thing is that Emperor Deqing actually ordered the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to jointly handle Zhao Junchen's marriage, which is a great honor, you must know that the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian jointly handle the marriage, which is often the treatment that only the imperial relatives and nobles can have!

Therefore, after seriously understanding the significance of this holy decree, the officials were naturally extremely envious of Zhao Junchen's treatment and holy family, and even several cabinet elders were moved.

At the same time, many people recalled the rumor that "Zhao Junchen was the illegitimate son of Emperor Deqing", and then saw Emperor Deqing's posture of marrying Zhao Junchen, but they felt that this rumor was not necessarily groundless.

At the same time, after Zhao Junchen heard the content of the holy decree, his mood did not fluctuate much, like this kind of flashy favor, Emperor Deqing has always been stingy, it seems that it is a grand saint, but if you think about it carefully, you know that Zhao Junchen has not received any actual benefits at all, but it will attract the red eyes of many people.

Moreover, the marriage between Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue was not originally intended to be a big deal, but now that Emperor Deqing personally gave the marriage, and also involved the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, Zhao Junchen can't keep a low profile, but after such a big deal, Zhao Junchen may not be able to rest.

However, Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more grateful, and after reaching out to receive the holy decree, he even made a big gift to Emperor Deqing to show his gratitude.

After marrying Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing felt that he had further enveloped Zhao Junchen, and he was deeply satisfied, and after saying a few words about his importance to Zhao Junchen, he announced his next dynasty!

After the end of the early dynasty, Zhao Junchen looked at the marriage decree in his hand, but his expression was a little complicated.

*

If it was usual, after the end of the early dynasty, Zhao Junchen should have left the Imperial Palace under the support of the "Zhao Party".

But on this day, because of Emperor Deqing's personal marriage, Zhao Junchen was not only in the limelight, but also became the focus of the officials, under the reminder of Emperor Deqing, the officials remembered Zhao Junchen's marriage and felt that this was a great opportunity for them to get closer to Zhao Junchen.

Therefore, after the end of the early dynasty, hundreds of officials gathered around Zhao Junchen, and expressed their congratulations to Zhao Junchen, and also said that on the day of Zhao Junchen's wedding, they would personally go to Zhao Mansion to watch the ceremony and congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Lord Zhao! Congratulations to Lord Zhao! ”

"Lord Zhao's marriage is a major event in the temple, and the lower officials will definitely be present to congratulate him!"

"Xiaguan hereby wishes Lord Zhao that the mermaid and water are harmonious, like drums and pianos!"

For a while, in the face of the congratulations of the hundred officials, Zhao Junchen couldn't get out at all, nor could he treat him coldly, so he had to put on a cordial and happy appearance, and arched his hand to the surrounding officials: "In this case, this official is waiting for you in the mansion!" Invitations from all of you will be sent out soon, so be sure to come and witness the ceremony! ”

When the hundred officials finally dispersed, Zhao Junchen still couldn't leave the Imperial Palace, because several cabinet ministers had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing the hundred officials disperse, they walked towards Zhao Junchen side by side.

After coming to Zhao Junchen's face, Shen Changmao first said: "I have been busy with the major affairs of the court these days, and I almost forgot Lord Zhao's marriage, but it was the old man's!" On the day of Lord Zhao's wedding, the old man will definitely send a heavy gift to express his congratulations! ”

Zhou Shangjing glanced at Zhao Junchen and said with a smile: "The old man has not forgotten Junchen's marriage, and the congratulatory gift has already been prepared, but unfortunately the old man is already dying, and he has long been unable to see the red and white, and he is not energetic, and he is also tired during this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to congratulate him in person at that time!" ”

Liang Fuchen hesitated for a moment, but said: "I also only learned about Lord Zhao's marriage, and on the seventh day of the eighth month, if there is nothing at hand, I want to go to Lord Zhao's mansion to ask for a glass of wine!" ”

At the same time, Zuo Lanshan, Li He and the two, like Liang Fuchen, said that they would go to Zhao's mansion to watch the ceremony in person.

In the face of the congratulations of several elders, Zhao Junchen naturally did not dare to slack off, showed due humility, and hurriedly thanked him, and put aside many polite words for the time being.

But he said, just as the officials congratulated Zhao Junchen one after another, "Tai. "Sub-party" naturally means that there is no participation.

At the same time that Zhao Junchen accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, the crown prince Zhu Heyu and all the Qingliu had already left the Imperial Palace.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Pavilion Elder Cheng Yuandao thought of Zhao Junchen's majesty, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Zhao Junchen, a corrupt official, is getting more and more powerful, and His Majesty is also giving him a face, and he actually asked the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to personally preside over the marriage for him, I don't know how proud Zhao Junchen is now!" ”

After speaking, Cheng Yuandao looked towards the crown prince Zhu and Yu.

As Cheng Yuandao's words fell, everyone responded one after another, expressing their dissatisfaction, but also saying that Zhao Junchen would definitely not be proud soon!

But the crown prince Zhu and Yu were silent and did not say anything.

In Cheng Yuandao's impression, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was most unaccustomed to Emperor Deqing's favor to Zhao Junchen, and he would be furious every time.

But this time, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were unusually calm.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Heyu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should take advantage of Zhao Junchen's marriage to send a congratulatory gift to ease the long-standing tension between the two parties.

To this day, Zhu Heyu has clearly felt the deposition of Emperor Deqing, and he also knows that he must not sit still!
