The breeze blows through the water surface of Taihu Lake outside Gusu City, there are ripples in a circle, there is a set of villas and river houses on the side of Taihu Lake, it looks like it is carved railing and painted sill from a distance, magnificent.

The owner of this extravagant mansion is very powerful, and if he gets close on weekdays, he will be politely chased away, and the nearby tourists do not know where it is, but they also avoid it.

It was only today that the Suzhou Yamen announced that this was the emperor's palace, which attracted more people to look at it from afar, hoping to see the face of the sky.

This palace in Suzhou is frequented by Hou Xuanyan, and even when the scenery is pleasant in autumn, he will gather Li Haoxian and others to bring their families to stay here for a long time.

If Jinling has any important business, it will be sent here to Hou Xuanyan for decision-making, but now that the Hua Dynasty is moving forward by huge inertia, there is nothing to do.

Hou Xuanyan's only worry is the war in Europe, the more the Western Expeditionary Army fights, the bigger the scene becomes, the West is not at peace, and the whole Europa is a mess.

Tens of thousands of Chinese troops, led by Peng Zhuze and Zhu Linhao, gradually gained a foothold on the Mediterranean coast to deal with European attacks everywhere.

Under the leadership of Charles II, Britain moved smoothly between the two camps, they were both nominal allies of the Chinese dynasty and a member of the Six-Nation Alliance.

In this way, the British Island, which was independent outside the European continent, quietly developed by virtue of its geographical advantages.

Because of Peng Zhuze's massacre on the European continent, many European heroes have sought refuge on the British Islands, which has further promoted their development.

The situation in the world is always like this, and when a superpower emerges, it also gives rise to several great powers trying to catch up.

In Europe, Britain and in Asia, Japan, the island nation gradually developed into a deformed power under the radical policies of the Tokugawa family's strong men.

It is said that he is strong because their army has risen rapidly in strength and the economy has developed rapidly, but it is deformed.

Because their economy was heavily dependent on the Chinese Dynasty, this kind of imperial court control over all industries in the country was very similar.... Very easy to use, and the side effects are also obvious.

Once the Chinese Dynasty terminated the MFN Pact with them, Japan would be completely bankrupt, and there would be only one way to go, and that was to force war to challenge the supreme authority of the Chinese Dynasty in the region.

The evening breeze blows the cool water vapor on Taihu Lake, and the surface of the lake is quiet and beautiful after a day, like a pothos rippling in the wind.

Hou Xuanyan lay on a wicker chair under the tree, making a slight snoring sound, and his body was covered with a layer of black cranes, but Hou Wanshu, who was originally here to accompany his father, disappeared.

Under a cherry tree not far away, a handsome and slender young man, full of cleverness, shook his head from side to side and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty asleep?" ”

"Just fell asleep, if you have anything, just say it."

Well? Hou Xuanyan's ears moved, and he faintly heard this conversation, and couldn't help but pay more attention.

"That's good, that's good, Your Majesty looks like Sven, even I'm scared when I speak, my father is not half as fierce as Your Majesty. Today, when the martial arts hall was on holiday, I heard from the servants at home that my father had come to Suzhou with him, and I came on horseback immediately. The young man said with palpitations, and Hou Xuanyan knew that it was Li Siyong's voice as soon as he heard it.

He deliberately held back, but wanted to see what these two little things were doing.

"you, you say bad things about your father again, be careful I tell him to know, and beat you up."

Hou Xuanyan was proud in his heart, and he really deserved to be his intimate little padded jacket, and he didn't hurt the little peach in vain for more than ten years.

Li Siyong salivated and said: "How dare I, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, I am afraid of Your Majesty and the princess father and daughter." ”

Princess Yongfu bit her lip and snickered, and said with shame and disgust: "You are afraid of your father, you are afraid of what I will do, and I will not scold you and beat you." ”

"Hehe, what I'm most afraid of is that His Royal Highness won't pay attention to me, every time I can't see His Highness, I can't eat or sleep, your younger brother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can testify."

Hou Xuanyan's eyebrows moved faintly, and his heart was blocked, and he felt an inexplicable anger. This dog thing is teasing my daughter, it's really unpleasant to retribution...

If you don't believe it, look up, who has the sky spared, think back then, in Suzhou City, the daughter of a wealthy family, Fang Ling is six years old...

But now that Little Peach is fourteen years old, it's time to talk about marriage, and in this era, fourteen-year-old girls are the age to be married.

There was a silver bell-like smile in the distance, and Hou Wanshu grimaced and said, "I won't pay attention to you, you can't sleep when you go back." ”

After leaving the cherry tree, the delicate and lovely girl turned into a dignified and noble princess, so that Li Siyong watched her back from a distance and refused to leave for a long time.

When he returned to the chair, his father was still sleeping, Hou Wanshu stuck out the tip of his tongue, his face was slightly flushed, and he touched his chest and tiptoed closer.

Hou Xuanyan is the founding emperor, and the marriage of the princess is not a precedent, if it is the same as the previous dynasty, Hou Xuanyan will never agree.

The princess of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be miserable, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty has regulations, the marriage of the princess of Dafan, choose more handsome and kind men of the people, and the children of the minister of civil and military affairs are not allowed to marry the princess as a wife.

This determines that once the princess of the golden branch and jade leaf gets married, she will marry ordinary people.

Therefore, in the Ming generation, the mother-in-law of the royal princess was often from a poor family, and the talented and ambitious refused to give up being an official, and the concubine became a group of strangers who did not want to make progress.

Folk men compete to be the master of the horse, which has become a unique scenery in the Ming Dynasty. Due to the separation of the government and the people, and the royal family, how to understand the horse master and how to choose the horse master has become a big problem. At that time, there was no scientific identification method, and we could only rely on word of mouth and recommendations from others. The quality of the horse master, the quality of the middle, is completely based on one mouth.

Most of the people who match the princess are eunuchs. When he met a eunuch of good moral character, he would naturally do his best to choose a satisfactory horse for the princess; If you meet a mercenary villain, you will naturally use your power for personal gain, which leaves an outlet for the people who cheat on marriage. As a result, there are many folk men, hanging sheep's heads, selling dog meat, bribing eunuchs and close ministers, cheating marriage to the royal family, marrying princesses, and seeking wealth. This kind of thing was endless in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be called a historical anecdote.

If anyone writes to suggest that the emperor continue the practice of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Hou Xuanyan will be completely driven home, and he can do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan let out a long sigh, frightened Hou Wanshu next to him, and asked, "Father, are you awake." ”

"Hmph. If you don't wake up again, the baby girl will be deceived away. ”

Hou Wanshu's pretty face turned red, and she got into Hou Xuanyan's arms and didn't follow, Hou Xuanyan touched her head and said: "Father Emperor Yi called Li Haoxian, my little peach is married, but it can't be shabby." If someone in their family dares to bully you, go to the palace at any time to find your father. ”

Hou Wanshu is directly like an ostrich, ignoring her head, her face is hot and scary, and she just refuses to look up.

Hou Xuanyan looked at her eldest daughter who was immersed in happiness, and couldn't help but worry about Hou Wanyan, this little girl is delicate and weak, she blushes when she says a word to strangers, she has not inherited her cheekiness at all, what will she do in the future.

It is necessary to give them the opportunity to contact the opposite sex, so that it is possible to develop a happy marriage, otherwise it will be difficult for even the nobles to find a good match.

The Han family women stayed at home, not an inherent phenomenon, but were harmed by a set of hypocritical guidelines made by Zhu Xi and his disciples and grandchildren.

Just as an Arab woman goes out covered in a black cloth, the physicists use a set of rules that they want to castrate a woman's nature.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the women of the Han family could show their heads, and even many of them were independent.

In this way, for the happiness of the princesses, Dahua's first daughter, Nuhou Xuanyan, shouted an earth-shattering slogan in the sixth year of Tianxi:

Women can hold up half the sky!
