Chapter 903 Marriage
Li Fugui and his wife thought very well, the princess had already agreed, her son was an officer, or the eldest son, and he would inherit the title of Marquis of Guangning in the future, and the princess's mother would definitely agree with such good conditions. Then it is to tell the emperor, according to Li Fugui's understanding of the emperor, there should be no problem, and the next step is to prepare for the wedding.
But when she thought of the princess's mother, Zhu Youjia, something had happened, and Zhu Youjia disagreed.
Zhu Youjia was a little unhappy when she saw Li Fu's mother enter the palace to ask for marriage, what is your identity Li Fugui? At that time, he was only a Xu official in Wuchang County, and he was just a cell boss with no formal establishment, and in the words of later generations, he was a temporary worker. The idea is to catch Zhu Hongsan's chariot, and now that he is a marquis, do you think you are qualified to marry the emperor's daughter?
Zhu Youjia's father is Zhu Ci, the king of Ji in Changsha??, Zhu Youjia was also the pearl of King Ji back then, so he was very arrogant. If it weren't for this character, he wouldn't have been able to provoke Zhu Hongsan back then, but Zhu Youjia was robbed by Zhu Hongsan, although the prime minister and his son who was less than one year old died in the hands of Zhu Hongsan, but he also avoided his own city from dying in the hands of the rogue.
Zhu Youjia has an arrogant temperament, and when he reaches middle age and menopause, now he hears that Li Fu, the son of a servant, dares to marry his daughter, a dignified princess of the empire, Zhu Youjia naturally has no good face for Li Fugui's wife who came to ask for marriage.
Zhu Youjia didn't save face for Li Fugui's wife, and directly said that you, Li Fu, the son of a Xu official, don't pee and look in the mirror, but you want to be a princess? Did you not wake up from a dream?
Li Fugui's wife is also a marquis, and she was scolded by Zhu Youjia and went out of the palace with a red face, swearing that even if her son is a bachelor for the rest of her life, she will never marry your Zhu Youjia's daughter.
Zhu Xiang didn't expect things to come to this point, so he ran to have a big quarrel with his mother Zhu Youjia, and then went to fold with the princess Zhu Bottle>

Of course, there is a reason why Zhu Hongsan can agree to Zhu Xiang's marriage so happily, Zhu Xiang is not the eldest daughter, and her mother's identity is not clear, so her marriage will not have too many restrictions. If they are replaced by Ma Xiaofang's eldest daughter or Qian Yuting's daughter, it will be different, their mothers are noble, and they must be the right person to find a son-in-law, so Zhu Xiang's low background does not know whether it is lucky or unlucky.
In addition to Zhu Xiang's low background, there is also the identity of Li Fugui, Li Fugui was born as a Xu official, and in addition to the scholars and generals who followed Zhu Hongsan to the south, there were also a large number of people who were these low-status people. For example, Li Fugui, who was born as a Xu official, Tie Niu, who was born as a blacksmith, Xiao Laoliu, who was born as a tailor, etc., and one of these lowly nobles is the Wu family who was born as a craftsman, that is, Wu Chaocui who was killed by Zhu Yuan.
Wu Chaocui is Tie Niu's cousin, who followed Zhu Hongsan to the south back then, and several of Wu Chaocui's brothers died in the battle, but now they were killed by Zhu Yuan, and Wu Chaocui's wife was also implicated and trampled to death, which made those low-level nobles have some complaints.
But what can Zhu Hongsan do? Punish your own son for the sake of a low-ranking noble? It's impossible! Therefore, after Zhu Hongsan learned about Zhu Xiang, he immediately thought of using Zhu Xiang to appease the low-level nobles. The reason is very simple, Li Fugui is the only one among the low-level nobles to be a marquis, so Li Fugui has a faint meaning of taking the lead among them. Now that a low-level nobleman has died, the emperor has dealt with Zhu Yuan, who has committed crimes, and he will marry the princess to you, so there should be no opinion!
Li Fugui originally thought that the marriage was over, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor called Li Fugui and his son to the palace, praised Li Fu, and married the princess Zhu Xiang to Li Fu on the spot, and set the marriage on the first day of June in the twelfth year of Shenwu.
Li Fugui saw that the marriage became a great joy, this was a marriage with the emperor, and the Li family estimated that the ancestral tomb was on fire. Li Fugui took his son out of the palace and immediately went to the Ministry of Justice to find Shangshu for a three-month vacation, he wanted to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, report to the ancestors of the Li family, the Li family has been a lowly official for generations, and finally got rid of his cheap status in his own generation!
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the social status of the officials was very low, and they were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, which were a right that even the peasants could enjoy. In society, the officials are only one level higher than the lowly sons-in-law and dung, and the same as beggars, prostitutes, actors, and servants, and at the same time, the officials are still a family position, that is, if the elders of your family have a Xu official, then your family has been a Xu official for generations, and you will lose the qualification for the imperial examination.
Now although Li Fugui is a marquis of the empire, because of his low background, he always feels inferior in the officialdom.
But it will be fine after Li Fu and the princess get married, Li Fu is Li Fugui's eldest son, according to the imperial legal system, Li Fu will inherit the title of Marquis of Guangning in the future, that is to say, in the future, the Marquis of Guangning will have royal blood, and he will officially break away from the cheap status of Xu Official.
After Li Fugui took a leave of absence, he returned to his hometown in Wuchang with a large amount of money, found out all the relatives who did not die in the war, and feasted for three days, and set up a flowing water banquet in Wuchang County for three days, showing off it well, so that everyone knew that Li Fugui, the cell boss who couldn't eat enough back then, has now become the emperor's in-laws, and he will also have the most noble bloodline of the empire in the future.
After Li Fugui returned to Beijing, the news that his son wanted Princess Shang had also spread in the Xungui circle, and those Xungui who looked down on Li Fugui in the past also began to discuss with his peers.
Today, Li Fugui finished drinking in the Huguang Guild Hall, and walked out of the door full of alcohol, and the shopkeeper of the Huguang Guild Hall stood at the door and nodded and said, "Master Hou, be careful of the steps when it's dark!" โ
Li Fugui was in a very good mood, looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Lao Ding, you and I are both fellow countrymen, look at how my brother is now?" You have to work hard, too! Maybe in the future, your descendants will have a Jinshi, and then they will be able to sit on an equal footing with our old Li family! โ
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "That dare! Even if Lao Ding's children and grandchildren compete for anger and become a scholar, but there is no comparison with Hou Ye, Hou Ye is the emperor's in-laws, and there are us ordinary people who can compare! โ
Li Fugui saw that the shopkeeper could speak, laughed, and got into the small sedan chair at the door with the support of his family and went home.
When the shopkeeper saw Li Fugui walking away, he scolded in a low voice: "Phew! Look at you crazy, isn't it just a Xu official, Lao Tzu's son can read and be admitted to the Jinshi, can your son read? โ
Regardless of the envy, jealousy and hatred of outsiders, our Grand Director Li, Grand Marquis Li, and the future father-in-law of Princess Changsha are really proud to sit in the small sedan chair, and they can't help but hum a small tune.
The Huguang Hall is in the south city, and Li Fugui's home is in Chaoyangmen, that is, in the east city. In the middle of Beijing is the imperial palace, so Li Fugui has to go around in a big circle if he wants to go home.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no light pollution in later generations, and after the sun set, except for the Imperial Palace, Shuntianfu, and the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, the whole city of Beijing was dark. Of course, there is not no one on the street, in addition to the brocade guards and inspection departments who patrol the night, there are also these drunken nobles.
The Ming Dynasty, like all Chinese dynasties, imposed a strict curfew system, which meant that people were not allowed to go out for a specified period of time after dark. The Ming Dynasty had strict regulations, stipulating that no matter who broke into the house without the permission of the master after the curfew, the master could correct the law on the spot without warning, even by officials of the imperial court. At the same time, it is also stipulated that the people are not allowed to walk around the streets casually during the curfew period without reason, and those who violate the order can be punished with a maximum of 40 punishments, and the heaviest can be punished on the spot.
In the Ming Dynasty, the security of the capital was managed by three places, one was the Jinyi Guard, but they were responsible for the security of the streets around the imperial city, and other civilian areas basically did not go. There is also the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, who is mainly responsible for the security of the whole city, and the third is the imperial history of the city patrol formed by the Shuntianfu and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The first two are easy to understand, Jinyi Wei is a policeman, and the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, is the garrison of the capital, but how did Yushi get involved? The first two are for dealing with criminals, but in the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who could not be controlled and did not dare to manage the Yamen, such as scholars, officials, nobles, etc., and the imperial history was to manage them.
This system of specially cleaning up officials is the system of patrolling the city and the imperial history, and it is also the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang back then. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Hongsan were similar to each other back then, and they also made a fortune by asking for food, so it was natural to have a group of old buddies who worked together. After these guys became dukes and marquises, they endangered all sides in the capital. At that time, scholars did not have such great power as in the late Ming Dynasty, and military generals were not oppressed into three grandsons, so it happened from time to time when street generals drank too much alcohol and beat officials.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the system of patrolling the city and the imperial history, specifically to deal with these military generals and nobles. The Imperial History of the Patrol City is subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for inspecting the security management, trial of lawsuits, and arresting thieves in the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central five cities of the capital.
However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals and nobles were suppressed by the civilian officials, but these civil officials became the number one danger in the capital. The literati of the Ming Dynasty were different from the literati of the Manchu Dynasty in that they were not oppressed into kowtows. The literati of the Ming Dynasty still had some of the customs of the Han and Tang dynasties, that is, they would fight if they disagreed.
Of course, this kind of fighting atmosphere is also upward and downward, and those old scholars in the court are all happy, and these literati below naturally have to follow suit. Coupled with the great economic development in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the gradual increase in nightlife, these stinky old nine began to fight for the wind and be jealous when they were full of food and drink, and it was common for them to fight in the streets.
And the Ming Dynasty treated the scholars preferentially, these stinky old nine have a reputation, and the inspection department does not dare to do it at all, so it is necessary to patrol the city and the imperial history!
