Chapter 12 Marriage to seize power
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao is the titular Son of Heaven.
After being placed under house arrest by the cabinet and the harem for learning from the legacy of the emperor, Zhu Houzhao, who knew Li Kui, was very wise not to meddle in any government affairs, but just sat on the dragon chair and became a clay emperor to listen to the government with peace of mind.
There is a big bird in the court, which does not sing for three years and does not fly for three years.
But Zhu Houzhao, the big bird, didn't even need it for three days to decisively open his throat and make a splash.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, watching His Highness's ministers discuss how to reopen the border mutual market and how to reopen the southern sea ban.
The resumption of the war in the north made this group of people very nervous, and every time the nomads went south, it was undoubtedly a disaster for the people of the Central Plains and even the imperial court.
In their eyes, the source of this disaster is His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, but they dare not complain, and they do not lose their initial agreement in this regard.
It is also strange to say that this group of ministers restrains the emperor on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are afraid of the emperor.
Seeing that the three poles of the sun and the ministers were destined to be meaningless in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, the discussion was destined to end.
Usually at this time, it is probably time for Liu Jin to stand up and sing a retreat. But today, Liu Jin has always been full of joy.
There was silence for half an hour, and Zhu Houzhao, who had laughed enough, motioned to Liu Jin to say what he Xu Mao still said.
"Holy Message: I want to get married, and the Ministry of Rites will select a good day and an auspicious day to organize the grand ceremony of the country!"
In just one sentence, it can really be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The emperor's big wedding often means that the emperor can be pro-government, and no one can interfere with the emperor's concentration of power in the name of auxiliary government!
Zhu Houzhao is already fifteen years old this year, and he can reach the age of big marriage, and no one has any reason to say a word.
Although Liu Jian and the others are old, their brains are not slow at all, and when they hear Liu Jin announce it so openly, they already know the little emperor's plan in their hearts.
In fact, as long as Zhu Houzhao does not go against the grain, they will not be afraid to completely hand over power to Zhu Houzhao. It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao is obviously a perverse person, and his kind of thinking that is centuries ahead of his time is completely nonsense in the eyes of Liu Jian and others.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Everyone gave a salute with joy on their faces, and shouted long live.
After the etiquette is over, there are many things to discuss.
Xie Qian, who is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, first asked: "I wonder whose girl will become His Majesty's concubine?" ”
Liu Jin smiled like a lotus flower and said, "It's not a concubine, it's a queen!" ”
Xie Qian hurriedly kowtowed, and then continued to look at Zhu Houzhao. The emperor's selection of concubines is a major event in the country, and it often takes a long time to select a concubine from thousands of people's daughters, and the movement almost affects the whole country.
Therefore, an emperor like Zhu Houzhao who did things without saying anything is worthy of being asked by his courtiers, after all, choosing a queen is not choosing a concubine, just deal with it casually.
"The queen's candidate has been decided, it is Yu Mingxiao!" Liu Jin's voice is steady, and quite a person is bold when he is happy.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.
Who is Yu Mingxiao? The reserve Oiran in the Wenxiang Pavilion is Sister Yao in the eyes of this group of literati. Although she has not received guests, she is still a virgin if she has not been broken, but this identity is obviously not acceptable to them.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were so weird, they could prostitute themselves, they could keep young ladies, as long as they didn't take them home, it would be a romantic affair of literati and ink writers.
But as long as anyone dares to take the Qinglou girl home to be a wife, tsk, he will immediately be intolerable by the etiquette law, spurned by ten thousand people, or cannot enter the house, and is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall after death. It's a very serious sin.
The courtiers are still like this, not to mention that the emperor, the queen of a country, will be the master of the world in the future, and his previous occupation was a top brand in Qinglou. Sangong Jiuqing immediately felt that it was a big slap on his face, and there was a crackling sound.
In their eyes, it is not that the emperor cannot prostitute, but that he cannot prostitute openly. Most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were lenient with themselves and strict with others.
Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, looking at the ministers with a bare face and Xiao Jing, who had been silent, this was exactly what he wanted.
"I don't think so!" As he expected, in addition to Xie Qian's displeasure, there were more people who planned to jump out one by one.
It is a matter of national decency, no one wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and soon all the six Shangshu knelt, and the waiter knelt for more than half, and the others were countless.
Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to count the heads, which was already expected.
"You asked me to listen carefully, and I did. What are you willing to do, I will never interfere, in the future, I will not even take a step out of the palace gate, and live with the queen with peace of mind, what are you not satisfied with? ”
What Zhu Houzhao said was very plain, but he was also very resolute, I will do what you want me to do, but it is better for you not to interfere in the affairs of my harem, this is a deal
Yu Mingxiao's sister paper he Zhu Houzhao is married, and he must be the queen.
No matter how long the hands of the officials of the outer court are, it is still very inappropriate to reach into the harem, this is the rule.
Liu Jian suddenly spoke up and said: "The old minister has a proposal, Yuming Xiao will not object to entering the palace as a concubine, but the queen still needs to choose from the women of a good family, what does the emperor think?" ”
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jian lightly, got up and left directly, and said with a smile: "I told you today that I just told the Ministry of Rites to do things more beautifully, and I didn't mean to discuss with you!" ”
"But ......"
Liu Jian's has not yet spoken, and Zhu Houzhao's figure has disappeared into the depths of the palace.
"Liu Jin, do you see it clearly today?" Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jindao, who was following him.
"Back to the master, the old slave has seen clearly, Jiao Fang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Cai, the director of the Ministry of Officials, have no intention of objecting!" Liu Jin laughed, but suddenly an inexplicable confusion appeared on his face: "It's just that Xiao Jing didn't act against it, and the old slave took it very strangely." ”
This is Liu Jin's selfishness, he is the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, but Xiao Jing is the eunuch with the palm print, his superior. Liu Jin obviously didn't have any good intentions when he said this.
Zhu Houzhao smiled, why Xiao Jing didn't say anything against him knows.
When the Tatar envoys were rampant in the capital, Yuming Xiao once saved Xiao Jing's life, and Xiao Jing had a very good sense of Yuming Xiao.
"My marriage was agreed to by the first emperor." Zhu Houzhao recalled.
"Why today I just want to find out one or two that are available. Old minion, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai will be handed over to you, and your help is my help, understand? ”
Liu Jin said happily: "Thank you, master!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were often not allowed to befriend foreign ministers, and Zhu Houzhao's actions were simply blatant support for Liu Jin, which made him unhappy.
