Zhu Cihong has been quite upset these days.

Somehow, a group of courtiers asked the Son of Heaven to elect the queen to consolidate the society.

Of course, the wedding of the Son of Heaven is not an ordinary trivial matter, and the whole process is very complicated.

It is impossible to complete a set of processes in two or three months.

In this matter, Zhu Cihong originally wanted to delay it.

But now it seems unlikely that it will continue to drag on.

There are more than 100 copies of the recital on the imperial case alone.

If all these 100 or so copies are left unreleased, the government and the opposition will definitely explode.

Moreover, this time the courtiers occupied the righteousness.

There is no trivial matter in the heavenly family, especially the queen of the Son of Heaven's wedding.

This is related to the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the national capital is solid.

In fact, from Zhu Cihong's point of view, it is really nothing not to get married at this age, but in the eyes of the courtiers, it is completely different.

Sixteen or seventeen years old is no longer considered a teenager, and he should take on the responsibility of being the heir of the emperor.

In short, Zhu Cihong can't argue with the courtiers.

You reason with them, and they tell you about filial piety and virtue. You talk to them about people, and they give you reason. If you talk to them about virtue, they will simply play hooligans.

What's more, Zhu Cihong was already at a loss in this matter...

That's it, isn't it just after the big wedding book, what am I afraid of!

Zhu Cihong smiled bitterly and shook his head, at this moment he really felt the embarrassment and helplessness of being forced to marry by the ministers.

In fact, the reason why he didn't want to get married so early was not because of any hidden disease, but because he was afraid that the harem would involve too much energy after marriage.

But now that I think about it, he was too worried. First of all, Zhu Cihong is a very self-disciplined person, and he will not indulge in women's sex even if he gets married. Otherwise, with so many palace maids in the palace, can Zhu Cihong still maintain his virgin body?

After all, strictly speaking, the women in the palace belong to the emperor, and the difference is just a name.

As long as you maintain strict restraint, even if you have a queen, it will not affect your daily work too much.

And with a pillow person to accompany you, you can also say two words hidden in your heart, so that everything will not be held in your heart.

As for the issue of the imperial heir, it is indeed a headache.

From the perspective of this era, a man, especially an emperor at the age of sixteen or seventeen, should have children.

No matter how Zhu Cihong struggles, he can't change this situation, so it's better to follow the trend.

In fact, Zhu Cihong has some children's phobia.

He had this ambivalence in his previous life.

On the one hand, he thinks that some good babies are cute, and on the other hand, he thinks that bear children are hateful.

God knows if he gave birth to a good baby or a bear child. So...

However, the benefits of being an emperor in this life can be withdrawn.

The emperor can have many children, and the beautiful name is called the emperor's branches.

He couldn't have given birth to all bear children, right?

In short, this kind of thing still has to be taken one step at a time, and it is useless to think too much in advance.

Fortunately, now is a more opportune time.

The Ming army had just defeated the Qing army in Shandong, and the Qing army should not enter the Kou again in a short time.

Zhu Cihong's personal prestige also reached its peak because of the imperial conquest. This time is definitely the right time for the wedding.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong was no longer entangled, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to take full authority to handle this matter.

The emperor's wedding is not a common man visiting the church to get married, there is a whole set of processes to go.

From the draft to the selection and elimination, and finally the list of several people is presented for the emperor's hand-picking, it must be completed step by step.

After instructing this matter, Zhu Cihong focused his energy on the formation and training of the water division.

It has been a while since the Denglai Naval Division was formed, but the effect was not as expected.

Originally, Zhu Cihong wanted Denglai Sailor to perform in the Battle of Shandong, but for various reasons, he had to give up in the end.

One of the main reasons is that there are too few generals with experience in water warfare.

Naturally, the generals of the Daming Navy Division can't all be Franc mercenaries, or they have to be their own people.

It is definitely not possible to poach people from the Zheng family.

Zhu Cihong decided that the sailor would go to Zhenghua, except for Zheng Chenggong, there was no need for anyone from the Zheng family.

Zhang Huangyan is good, and Zhang Mingzhen can also do it, but there is still a lack of grassroots generals.

Do you want to go to Guangdong to dig up some people?

Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, was a capable minister who is said to have trained a strong sailor.

If Zhu Cihong goes directly to ask for someone, will he be suspected of digging the foot of the wall?

But if you think about it carefully, even if you dig the foot of the wall, you are digging the corner of your own wall, and it seems that there is no problem.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong felt that if he wanted to improve the strength of the Denglai Navy Division in the short term, he could only rely on this method, so he no longer hesitated to order the celebrant to draft a decree and order Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, to transfer the elite generals of the Guangdong Navy Division to Shandong to listen to Kan.

Zhu Cihong's personality is very strong, and since he has made a decision, he will not change it easily.

Shen Youlong has to transfer people if he receives the order, and he has to transfer people if he doesn't receive the order.

However, Zhu Cihong felt that Shen Youlong would most likely still receive the decree and thank him.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many civil officials who resisted the decree in order to invite fame and sell directly.

The reason for their resistance to the decree is generally that the decree has not gone through the procedures of the cabinet and the six divisions, and it is a false decree.

But Shen Youlong probably won't. Even if his thoughts did not coincide with those of the king, he would carry out his orders.

However, the situation in Yunnan made Zhu Cihong a little worried.

The Shadingzhou Rebellion occurred half a year earlier than the original history, will it cause a series of chain reactions?

In the original history, the Shadingzhou Rebellion lasted for a long time before it was put down by the Great Western Army.

But there must be a reason why the Southern Ming Dynasty existed in name only at that time.

The current form is much better, but I don't know if Qin Liangyu can quell the Shadingzhou Rebellion in advance.

In fact, the reason why the three southwestern provinces have frequent rebellions is, in the final analysis, because of the Tusi problem.

This hereditary system of Tusi led to the imperial court's inability to rule over the local area, and it was almost out of control.

The best way to cure this stubborn disease is to change the land and return to the stream.

But it's not just a matter of talking.

Changing the land and returning to the stream is equivalent to cutting the domain, and it is even more difficult than cutting the domain.

After all, there are at most a dozen or dozens of people who have princes, and there are hundreds or thousands of toasts.

If it is really a one-size-fits-all change of land and return to the stream, I am afraid that those toasts who didn't want to rebel will also have to be reversed.

It is imperative to change the land, but not now. It is best to wait for the Ming Dynasty to solve the trouble of the Manchu Qing before implementing it.

For now, however, we can try to implement some modest policies, such as the Push Grace Order.

The Tui En Decree began in the Western Han Dynasty, which meant to divide the land of the kingdom to the heirs.

In this way, as the generations passed, a vast kingdom would become smaller and smaller, thus losing its threat to the imperial court.

When used in toast, it probably means the same.

Toast must have more than one child, right?

Then let's divide the family property together.

There may not be too significant changes in one generation, but after three or five generations, a Tusi territory may be only one village in size.
