Chapter 381: The Theory of Marriage
Zhu Houzhao will get married sooner or later, but Zhu Houzhao's marriage may be different from other people's families, because Zhu Houzhao is the emperor after all, and the king of a country marries his wife, and the pomp must be very big.
As for who will arrange it and how to arrange it, there are rules, and it can't be as casual as getting married in the countryside, find a few palanquin bearers to carry a red big pride, and then cover the bride with a red cloth, blow the trumpet, blow the wine and food, and eat it...... That's not going to work!
The royal family must have royal pomp, even if it is just a meal, it must be beautiful.
Li Yan has long known that Zhu Houzhao is going to get married, but there is no sign, and even the civil officials who have always been quite good at this way have not been the first to speak, and Li Yan naturally has no reason to believe that this matter is true, but today from Zhu Houzhao's mouth, Li Yan believed it, because Zhu Houzhao is no matter how unreliable this product is, and he will not joke about his life's events, unless this little faint gentleman really doesn't want to mix in the court, if he does this, Li Yan can be sure, Even the rebirth of Emperor Hongzhi couldn't stop the ministers from making up his mind.
Speaking of Hongji, Hongji is really a good man.
"Li Yan, do you say that people can really only like one woman in their life?" Zhu Houzhao asked softly.
Hearing this, Li Yan shook his head. "I don't know about this, but in short, it's deep, Your Majesty, don't you have an example? If you think it's okay, naturally one woman is enough, and if you think it's not, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines. ”
"You mean Father?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly understood, if it was explained that the emperor of the dynasty really had three wives and four concubines, Zhu Houzhao could only think of his father, Emperor Hongzhi.
Compared with other emperors, Hongzhi's approach is still very manly, he likes his queen Zhang very much, he is with her every day, and he has not accepted other concubines for life, and even the courtiers persuaded him to accept concubines because the queen is infertile, but he ignored them.
Hongzhi died of illness and Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, compared to the enthronement process of some emperors full of conspiracy and killing, Zhu Houzhao's accession to the throne was really smooth, and even seemed to be a little overnight, but this also shows that he is very lucky. He is the only son of Hongzhi, born to Empress Zhang, and once had an eldest brother, but died young, so Zhu Houzhao is both a son-in-law and an eldest son.
There was no struggle for imperial power, so Zhu Houzhao did not suffer from conspiracy theories inside and outside the court, nor did he encounter harm from the struggle for power and throne in the palace, and it was natural that he ascended to the throne after his father's death.
Therefore, when Hongji gave his last words on the occasion of his death, he did not say much, but emphasized that the crown prince was happy, and asked the ministers to be more disciplined in this regard.
The ministers who were ordered to take care of their lives at that time may not have taken this to heart, maybe they took it to heart, but they didn't take it too seriously, because after all, in their opinion, this young prince would definitely become a holy monarch under their careful teaching in the future.
However, they did not expect that this fifteen-year-old boy who ascended the throne and succeeded Dabao would make a mess of the Ming Dynasty after the real death of Emperor Hongzhi, making him himself the most capable emperor in Chinese history.
The ministers must have been puzzled by this great contrast, and in their opinion, such a result was inconceivable. Because Zhu Houzhao's father was an exemplary emperor, he stayed away from traitors - just after ascending the throne, he drove out the Xianzong Dynasty and those Wan'an and others who were favored by entering the sacrificial house; Diligent in the government - needless to say every day in the morning court, the afternoon dynasty was also restored, in addition, the Wenhua Palace was opened to discuss politics, so that in the spare time of the early dynasty and the afternoon dynasty, the cabinet and the cabinet to discuss the way of governing the country and discuss political affairs; Pay attention to the way - the system of sutra feasting and preaching has been restored. In addition, he also had great respect for his courtiers, and he never used the court staff that many Ming emperors liked very much. Therefore, during the eighteen years of his reign, the politics were clear, the wind and rain were smooth, and the country and the people were safe...... In short, there is nothing important to remember, but it is not easy to turn the page, and history has taken a very clever turn here in Hongji.
Emperor Hongji perfectly did all the things that a home-guarding emperor should do.
He was not a Taizu or a Chengzu, and was tasked with establishing a dynasty and defending against foreign enemies. He just needs to keep the inheritance left by his ancestors and pass it on to the next generation in good condition. Although Hongzhi was a little more bloody when he first ascended the throne, but after all, it was an untimely need, and since then, Emperor Hongzhi has begun to stick to the rules, emulate the Ming Lord, and ensure that everything in the court is in order and can run step by step, and it is best for everyone not to feel the existence of the emperor, just like when people praised Yao's rule for being able to do "Dili is good to me".
Maybe this seems too "mediocre", but, thinking about the understatement in history, maybe it will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives, from the perspective of the people at that time, perhaps an emperor like Hongzhi is the most praiseworthy.
Those ministers, who are the remnants of the two dynasties, may make people feel this more deeply if they use these to compare what Zhu Houzhao did later.
Emperor Hongzhi not only set an example for Zhu Houzhao to be an emperor, but also gave him a harmonious and peaceful family. Compared with the countless harems of ordinary emperors and the three thousand fans, Ming Xiaozong can be said to be a rare model in the relationship between husband and wife, and he may be the only emperor in Chinese history who insists on monogamy. He likes his queen Zhang very much, he is with her every day, and he has never accepted other concubines in his life, and even the courtiers persuaded him to take a concubine because the queen is not childless, but he ignored it. So when Empress Zhang finally gave birth to Zhu Houzhao in the fourth year of Hongzhi, Hongzhi's joy can be imagined.
This child's eight characters are also very extraordinary, the specific time of his birth should be the year of the month of the month of Shen Shen, just the order of Shen Youhai reversed, in ancient times this was regarded as a lucky birthday, especially it is said that this birthday and Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang have some secret coincidences. Hongzhi was naturally even more happy, he was full of expectations for this son, according to the Ming Dynasty system, named him Houzhao, thick for the generation, according to the word is to hope that he "although the four seas are wide, although the people of Zhaomin are numerous, all of them are under the presence of Zhao", and soon canonized as the prince.

However, it is clear that Zhu Houzhao is not like this.
But even so, Zhu Houzhao is about to get married.
There should be all kinds of etiquette for a big wedding, and Zhu Houzhao also has a headache.
