…

If China's most miserable queen is selected, Zhu Lian, the Renhuai Empress of Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan, will definitely be selected among them.

Before Zhao Huan became the emperor, although he was the crown prince, because his biological mother died too early, there was no one to help him, so that his position as the crown prince has been unstable, which has led to Zhao Huan having to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Zhao Huan, the crown prince, is like this, and Zhu Lian, the crown princess, naturally has to be more cautious.

Finally, Zhu Lian survived until Zhao Huan became the emperor, and she became the queen.

But then the Jin army went south.

In just over a year, Jingkang's shame broke out, and Zhu Lian, along with countless Zhao clans and countless poor women, was taken captive by the Jin people to the north.

Zhu Lian's identity as the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty did not give her preferential treatment at all, but because she was young and beautiful, because of her noble status, she was often teased by Jin Bing.

Finally survived to the then Jingshi Huining Mansion of the Jin State, and the Jin people held a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, ordering Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and Empress Zheng and Zhu Lian to wear the clothes worn by the Jin people, wrap their heads in handkerchiefs, wear sheep furs, and the concubines and clans exposed their upper bodies, and went to the Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta Temple to perform the "sheep ceremony", and then ordered the Empress Dowager Zheng and Empress Zhu Lian to enter the Golden Palace to "give a bath".

Zhu Lian was humiliated, first hanged, was rescued, and then committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

Huai Qing and clean, to be chaste. The crowd is drunk and sober, unyielding.

Compared with the cowardice of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan's father and son, Zhu Lian, a woman, is much, much stronger.

Since Zhu Lian appeared, Cai Ying's eyes have never left this chaste martyr.

Seeing this, Cai Maung lowered his voice and said, "Sixth Uncle, you are so bold that you dare to even move the mind of the crown princess." ”

Cai still listened, quickly retracted his gaze, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if this spreads, not only will I suffer, but our Cai family will be affected." ”

Cai Maung said disapprerovingly: "Okay, the prince has always been generous, and he will not offend others because of these trivial things, besides, the crown princess and her two younger sisters were the objects that young talents in Beijing wanted to marry before they got married, and there are many people who lust about them, and you are not inferior to the sixth uncle." ”

Cai Maung's tone changed, and he said: "By the way, sixth uncle, you actually have a chance to marry the daughter of the Zhu family." ”

Cai was still slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cai Maung said: "Doesn't the sixth uncle know that he is catching a son-in-law under the list? ”

Cai still really knows about this.

The Song Dynasty was the most perfect era of China's imperial examination system, and the examination became the main way to select officials for the imperial court.

But after all, the official position is limited, and it can't withstand the competition of people all over the world, so only the best are expected to win, so everyone has to lie down and taste the cold window, and "not becoming a family if you don't get the first" has become the oath of some people.

Even Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong expressed this meaning in the poem: "The rich don't need to sell the good land, there are thousands of millets in the book; There is no need to erect high beams for the house, and there is a golden house in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book; Don't hate to go out, there are many cars and horses in the book; The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read in front of the window. ”

This created a large number of unmarried older young people and even older adults in the Song Dynasty.

This also affected the criteria for choosing a mate for women in the Great Song Dynasty.

Since being an official is popular, everyone naturally squeezes their heads to become the official's wife.

So, on the day of the list, the rich gentry from all over the country set out their families to compete to choose Dengdi Shizi as their son-in-law.

That scene was simply a robbery, and it was called "catching a son-in-law".

This kind of "catching a son-in-law" is simply to the point of "hunger does not choose food".

Many people forget about the yin and yang auspiciousness and family background that the customs value, and even whether this new and first jinshi is still single. There was once a young man who was also very good-looking, and because of the favor of a powerful family, his family sent more than a dozen strong men to flock the young man to his home, and the young man neither refused nor ran away, but went with joy. After a while, a man dressed in a high-ranking official's robe came to the young man and asked, "I have only one daughter, who is not ugly, and is willing to marry my son, I wonder if it is possible?" The young man bowed deeply and said, "I come from a humble background, and it would be a blessing if I could climb high, but why don't you wait for me to go home and discuss it with my wife?" The crowd laughed and dispersed.

Sometimes age can not be considered, there is a person named Han Nanlao, who was admitted to the Jinshi, and soon someone came to propose to him, he did not refuse, but made a quatrain: "Read all the documents for a hundred quintals, and the old man will get a green shirt." The matchmaker asked Yu how old he was, forty years ago and thirty-three. ”

Therefore, a Jinshi like Cai is very sought-after, and some people want to recruit or even want to grab him as a son-in-law, not to mention that Cai is still young and handsome and comes from a famous family, so he is even more sought-after.

It's just that on the day the list was released, Cai still didn't go to see the list in person.

Afterwards, Cai still quickly gave up the promising civil official and entered a humble martial path.

As a result, no one came to recruit Cai as his son-in-law.

Cai Maung said: "If you don't choose to abandon literature and martial arts, Uncle Liu, with your status as the fourth in the current department and the reputation of our Cai family, you will definitely be able to seek the daughter of the Zhu family as your wife." ”

Cai Maung glanced at Zhu Lian and said: "It is said that the crown princess is not the most beautiful of their three sisters, the most beautiful is the crown princess's cousin Zhu Shen'er, and it is rumored that her beauty is not below the big and small concubines. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Maung looked at Cai Yan and said, "Sixth uncle, how is it, do you regret it?" ”

Although it has become a fact and a period of time has passed, many people still find it difficult to understand Cai Ying's choice, including Cai Maung.

Cai still smiled and didn't answer this question, but asked, "When can Liang Yanei arrange for me to meet Mrs. Liang?" ”

Cai Maung pointed at the people on the inner and outer three floors around Liang Shicheng with his chin, and said, "Looking at this posture, I can only wait for the banquet to end." ”

Cai still nodded, he thought so too.

At this time, out of the corner of Cai Ying's eyes, he suddenly saw a person break away from the crowd and walk alone towards the garden not far away.

Don't get me wrong, this person is not a woman, but a man, and a middle-aged man with a somewhat round (slightly chubby) body.

This person's surname is Zhao Mingding.

That's right.

He is the head of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is known as Zhao Ding, the four ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, along with Li Gang, Hu Quan, and Li Guang.

Just after learning Zhao Ding's name by chance, Cai still kept an eye on him.

Seeing that Zhao Ding was alone, Cai still immediately said to Cai Maung: "I'll go and make it easier." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Cai Maung's reply, Cai still walked straight to Zhao Ding......
