Wang Yue had long felt that Chongzhen's trip to the Wang Family Garden would not be so simple, but he didn't expect the purpose to be this.

"Your Majesty, the minister can't agree, the starting point city stipulates the freedom of marriage, and we can't make the decision for her sister's marriage, so let's wait for her to grow up and choose a partner by herself." Wang Yue didn't want to think about it, so he refused.

Chongzhen ignored him, but looked at Li Xiufang and said: "I can guarantee that Ling Yan will marry Cihong in the future is the crown princess, and my throne will also be passed to Cihong in the future, and Ling Yan is the queen." As long as Madame Li agrees to this family business, after I return to the palace, I will issue a holy decree, making it clear that Cihong is the only heir to the throne, and Ling Yan is the only candidate for the queen, and proclaim it to the world. ”

Chongzhen's promise is unprecedented, once this holy decree is announced to the world, it will have legal effect, Chrysostom Yuyan. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and after Zhu Cihong succeeded to the throne, he must make Wang Ni the queen, otherwise it is a great rebellion, and people who are disloyal and unfilial will be scolded by the people of the world. In order to envelop Wang Yue, Chongzhen has put a lot of effort into it.

"Your Majesty......!" For the sake of his sister's happy marriage, Wang Yue must reason with Chongzhen.

"Shut up!" Li Xiufang spoke up to stop Wang Yue from continuing and said, "Can you say a few words to your mother?" ”

"Then please tell my mother." Wang Yue had no choice but to say.

Seeing that Wang Yue was no longer silent, Li Xiufang said to Chongzhen: "Please forgive the emperor for my son's rudeness." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I won't go to my heart, Mrs. Li can rest assured." ”

Li Xiufang said with a smile: "The emperor is indeed the Son of Heaven, and there are a lot of adults. Thanks to the emperor who looks up to our Wang family, just now the emperor proposed marriage, and I, the representative of the mother, Nizi, agreed, you see when our two families will exchange eight characters and settle this matter. ”

"Good, good!" Chongzhen was overjoyed and said: "It's still Mrs. Li who knows what I mean, then I will make a decision in the next few days, and I will order someone to count it as an auspicious day."

"Mother, have you forgotten the regulations on marriage in the management rules of the starting point city?" Wang Yue said loudly.

"Of course I remember, but I remember even more that Nizi is my daughter, including you, the kid was born for my mother, I don't care about others, but Nizi's family affairs are in charge of my mother."

Saying that, Li Xiufang glared at Wang Yue and said, "You have changed so many customs and rules in the starting point city, and I have never said anything, but this time I will do it for my mother." ”

Today, Li Xiufang insists on making a relationship with the royal family, and has a variety of mentalities.

Two years ago, the Wang family was a bankrupt peasant family, the bottom of the society, and now they have become the masters of the starting point city, the Wang brothers are also high-ranking officials, Wang Yue married two daughters of famous families, Li Xiufang felt that if Wang Yue's father knew about it, he would also wake up with a smile in the coffin.

But the poor are rich, and they always feel that they lack a bit of aristocratic heritage, and marrying the royal family is undoubtedly a good thing to improve their own identity in Li Xiufang's opinion, which belongs to the old concept.

In addition, the relationship between the starting point city and the imperial court is delicate, and Li Xiufang certainly sees it in his eyes. rebelled and became an emperor or something, the former peasant woman didn't have so much courage and vision, isn't it a good way to resolve it by marrying the royal family?

Besides, my daughter is set to be the future queen at such a young age, queen! This is the highest level of being a wife, and with this alone, Li Xiufang agreed without even thinking about it.

"Mother......!" For the sake of his sister's lifelong happiness, Wang Yue can't give up easily.

Seeing that Wang Yue and his mother were arguing, Zhang Ziyun came over and pulled Wang Yue and asked him not to fight with his mother.

Wang Yue thought about it, sighed and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, you insist on deciding on this family business, and the minister has a request, I hope you can agree." ”

Wang Yue's mother and son quarreled just now, and Chongzhen kept silent. The motion to propose marriage for Zhu Cihong was made very early, and in order to hit the target, Chongzhen did more than a year of planning and research.

The starting point city stipulates the freedom of marriage, which is the biggest obstacle to proposing, and the breakthrough is Wang Yue's mother Li Xiufang.

Wang Yue's mother is filial piety, and Wang Yue's family relationship has been roughly figured out by Chongzhen. Originally, he wanted to find a suitable person to mention it, but today's accident made him feel that it was better to mention it by himself, Chrysostom Yuyan, the emperor's words had more weight.

Hearing that Wang Yue wanted to make a request, Chongzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has two requirements, the first requirement is that the minister's sister must be sixteen years old before they can get married. ”

This age is two years later than the traditional fourteen years old in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the legal age in the starting point city.

Chongzhen felt that this question was not serious: "I agreed to this." ”

Wang Yue continued: "There is a reason why we advocate the freedom of marriage in the starting city, and the starting point is to hope that men and women should understand each other. Since my mother insisted on setting this family business, Weichen's second request was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must come to my starting city school every ten days to study for two days, so that the prince and his sister would have more opportunities to know and understand. ”

The crown prince usually had a great Confucian to teach him to study the sage books, so Wang Yue could not ask for more time.

Since Chongzhen plans to kidnap his sister, he simply finds a way to bring the prince to the ditch, the attraction of the starting point city to young people is huge, maybe the prince will be influenced by the starting point city to change his concept.

Anyway, there are still several years before the marriage age, in case the pair is really not suitable, and when the time comes, whatever you say will make the marriage a mess. A few years later, it may be uncertain whether Daming's surname is Zhu or not, it depends on the situation.

"This ......!" Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let Ling Mei go to the palace to play when she is free, I think Kunxing will also be excited about it." ”

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's sister is young, and it is inconvenient to go to the palace to play, please forgive me." In addition, many of the miscellaneous studies in my starting point city school are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and most of the prosperity of the starting point city can find its roots here, and the prince can learn something here, which is also conducive to enriching his knowledge. ”

I resolutely can't agree to my sister's entry into the palace, in case she tears her face with the court again, Wang Ni is in danger of being a hostage.

Wang Yue's worries about Chongzhen are also there, but the Jingshi can't stop the Tiance Army, and Wang Yue shouldn't use the prince as a bargaining chip. Today, if the marriage between the two families can be negotiated, they have already met their expectations.

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Okay, then I will agree to Aiqing's request." Saying that, he said to Li Xiufang: "Mrs. Li, the marriage between Cihong and Ling Yan is so decided." ”

Seeing that Wang Yue no longer objected, Li Xiufang was overjoyed and said: "It's decided, it's decided, it's really good." ”

"From now on, our royal family will be in-kind to your royal family." After solving a difficult problem, Chongzhen also said happily: "In order for our two families to be close to each other, I still have a relative to mention to your Wang family." ”
