Zhu Cihong was still smiling, not to hide the fear in his heart, but to leave a good impression on his future father-in-law......

Since Wu Xiang has a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet, what else is there to be polite about Zhu Cihong? Of course, it has to be put into the harem. Not only Wu Xiang's daughter is going to be accepted, but if he meets Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu, and Zheng Zhilong in the future, they can't let them go, and they all have to become their own father-in-law, Lao Taishan!

Who made Zhu Cihong have no money, no soldiers, and no strength, except for righteousness, he can only sell his body!

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong's body is still very valuable, not to mention his good looks, his background is good, and he is still the heir of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if a few military leaders want to be Cao Cao, they have to give their daughters to Zhu Cihong to sleep with! Didn't Cao Cao's three daughters all go to Emperor Han Xian?

"Your Highness is not afraid, but the people who are killed by the father and son are not afraid?" Wu Xiang replied respectfully, "The father and son still have decades of old homes, and they are all heroes who have fought with the captives for half their lives. It can be used to protect His Highness and the Holy Master to kill the Kyoshi! ”

Wu Sanfu also said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness is willing to protect His Highness's left and right, and no matter what, he should protect His Highness's safety." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and smiled approvingly: "If there is a father and son of the Admiral, the palace will be relieved." Wang Companion, what did the Queen Mother say to you and Admiral Wu? ”

Wang Chengen immediately took over the topic and said with a smile: "The queen mother heard that Admiral Wu has a daughter who has not yet been married, and she is sixteen years old this year, right?" ”

Wu Xiang was stunned and stunned. What does that mean? Why did you ask about your daughter? Is it possible to protect the third sister from the media? Who to marry? The son of Zhou Guozhang's family?

"Yes, yes...... The third sister of the little girl, who is sixteen years old this year, had promised a family affair before, but unfortunately her fiancé died in Liaodong. ”

Wu Xiang lied, Wu Sanmei's fiancé was a son of the ancestral family, who was cleared after the Battle of Songjin.

"It's a pity," Wang Chengen sighed, "but it doesn't matter, as long as you don't pass through the door, you are not a widow." ”

Wu Sanmei can be regarded as a widow. If you are born in a particularly old-fashioned scholar's family, sometimes you have to observe festivals, but Wu Xiang's family does not talk about this.

"That's nature." Wu Xiang replied.

Wang Chengen glanced at Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong nodded at him. The honest eunuch gritted his teeth fiercely, "So the queen wants the third sister of the Admiral's family to enter the palace and serve the prince...... For talents! ”

How can you be a talented person? Zhu Cihong frowned. With the same beautiful man's plan, of course, you have to work hard, although the prince and the prince are only one level apart, the treatment is very different.

Concubine Zheng will be the queen in the future, and the son will be the prince, and Wu Xiang will be the grandfather of the prince...... Therefore, when Zhu Cihong discussed with Wang Chengen, he wanted to let Wu Sanmei be the concubine.

But Wang Chengen thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate, for fear that he would not be able to pass the civil and military pass of Chongzhen and the Manchu Dynasty, so he demoted Wu Sanmei by one level.

Over there, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were still dumbfounded.

Wu Sanmei is a wild girl, who grew up outside the gate, and is proficient in horseback archery, spear dancing, and sticks, but she doesn't know how to be polite. It is the material of the lady of the gate, and in the event of a sneak attack, she can still pull her bow into battle, and she can also break through on horseback.

But how can such a girl enter the palace to serve the prince?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has its own ancestral system, and does not choose the daughters of high-ranking officials as concubines.

"Duke, the minister is the title of the governor of Zuodu, can my daughter enter the palace?" Wu Xiang asked, looking at the prince, and saw that Zhu Cihong still had a gentle smile on his face, and a sense of confidence to overcome all difficulties. To be honest, I was a little excited.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like the king of the Ming Dynasty!

His own daughter followed him, and she will at least be a concubine in the future...... is the national ruler, and there are thousands of families, and it is not a sideways existence in Jiangnan? Maybe he can make his grandson the prince, then it is really Wu and Zhu, Jiangnan!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiang complained a little about Chongzhen again. Why didn't you say it when you summoned you in February? If the third sister had entered the palace in February, the second sister's army would have arrived in Beijing long ago......

"Admiral, these are extraordinary times!" Zhu Cihong interjected, "The Zhu and Wu families should work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

Wu Xiang was still a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, it's just that the little girl is underdisciplined, and after entering the palace, I'm afraid it will break the rules." ”

"It's okay," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "This palace will discipline the third sister for my father-in-law, Lao Taishan." ”

I called my father-in-law...... Wu Xiang was really embarrassed to refuse. Zhu Cihong is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty after all!

Wu Xiang finally nodded, "If Your Highness can see the little girl, the old man should dedicate the little girl to the palace...... It's just that the heavenly family has its own rules, and now that the matter is urgent, what should I do? ”

Wang Chengen said: "As long as the admiral agrees, there will be a central decree." Now that the matter is urgent, we should be simple, and when the car arrives in the capital, we will make up for the edict. ”

The so-called "central decree" is an edict issued directly by the palace without the cabinet vote and the emperor's approval. In terms of legal procedures, there are problems. It can even be said to be an illegitimate decree!

Moreover, it is also contrary to the established law to use Zhongzhi as the crown prince to recruit talents, and most of them will be protested by the cabinet.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Chengen did not dare to give the crown princess to Wu Sanmei, but only dared to take a talented person out.

But even if you are a talented person, it is not in accordance with the rules to accept privately. Not to mention that it is a talented person, even a palace maid, it must be ordered by the emperor to the cabinet, and then the cabinet vote is drafted, the emperor approves the red, and the Ministry of Rites handles it.

Of course, this is a special situation! Beijing is about to be defended, and the Son of Heaven said that it was Nan Xing, but in fact it was a refugee. It's hard to say how much the cabinet and the six ministries can escape. I am afraid it is not very appropriate to issue an edict in the form of cabinet votes and the emperor's approval.

However, just based on Zhu Cihong's words, it is impossible for Wu Xiang to send his daughter there...... At least in the current situation, it is impossible, if after escaping from the city of Beijing, there will be no problem.

So Zhu Cihong decided to make a time difference, first recognized Wu Xiang, his father-in-law, and then went through the formalities when he left the city - as long as he grabbed Wu Xiang and controlled the soldiers and horses who escorted him out, then Zhu Cihong could choose the courtiers to follow.

In other words, if several scholars in the cabinet are not obedient, they can be replaced by officials from the East Palace system, and they can naturally issue an order to take concubines when the time comes.

Wu Xiang didn't know that Zhu Cihong was making decisions without authorization, and he thought that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to win him over, so he let the prince accept Wu Sanmei as a talent. Although it is not in accordance with the rules, but it is about to be escorted and escaped, where are there so many rules?

When Li Zicheng breaks through the city of Beijing, does he still need the emperor to issue an edict, the cabinet vote, and the emperor to approve the red, and then he can escape? Will you still be able to find those in the cabinet then? If you can't find it, don't you run?

"Good!" Wu Xiang smiled, "A word is a certainty!" Now is an extraordinary period, and the lower officials don't talk about any red tape, as long as the decree arrives, let the little girl enter the palace to serve. ”

"Happy!" Zhu Cihong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Old Taishan is really bold, although the son-in-law grew up in the deep palace, he likes the most bold person in his life." If Ling Yuan's temperament follows her father-in-law, she and her son-in-law will definitely get along. When we arrive in Jiangnan, the son-in-law will straighten Ling Yuan, and we will be a family in the future. ”

Straightened the ...... But it's the queen!

Wu Xiang couldn't close his mouth with a smile. This is a splash of wealth! The daughter is the queen, and the son is in charge of the army. The Wu family will be half the master of the Jiangnan Flower World in the future.

However, while Wu Xiang was ecstatic, he also knew it in his heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not fancy the bold nature of his daughter...... I haven't even seen each other, so what do you say, you can't get along?

What the prince fancies, is it not the Wu family's force?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a righteous reputation, but he does not have a useful elite soldier at hand, and he will inevitably be bullied by Xiaoxiao when he arrives in Jiangnan. And the Wu family has 3,000 families in their hands, and it is not possible to use it to fight the ugly, and it should be able to deal with the rogue for a while, and deal with a few general soldiers in the south...... Maybe Huang Degong's Yongwei battalion can fight with his own family. No one else is a problem!

And the Yongwei Battalion is the descendant of the royal family, so naturally they also listen to the prince and the emperor. and the protection of the Wu family and the Yongwei battalion, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains may be difficult. But there shouldn't be any problems with rowing the river and ruling the river, right?

After all, there is no naval army, otherwise how could Ningyuan Town's food and salary be transported by sea?

As for the Liukou, they are all wandering around the Central Plains and the Northwest, and they can't go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, escorting Nan Xing is the best way out for the Wu family. If you can make your daughter the future queen, then the Wu family will make a lot of money.
