Chapter 755: Preparations for the Princess's Marriage, and ......

"What, you said that the regent queen wants to marry Princess Changping to me? Is it a marriage? The tea in Zhu Zilong's mouth squirted out directly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His expression showed great surprise.

First, this is the case just for the princess to marry, and second, there is no history of marriage for Princess Daming, and the royal princess is generally the man who enters the royal ancestral home.

The third is that Princess Changping said that she was passed on to the queen, and she is no longer the daughter of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, but as a modern person, he decided in his heart that the blood relationship could not be escaped. It's a little tangled!

Fourth, before the emperor woke up, the queen married the princess, which can be completely done?

Fifth, Princess Changping, is she 16 or 17 years old now? Don't look at it as an adult in Daming, but as a traverser, Zhu Zilong. In his heart, he still thinks that girls aged 16-17 are still underage.

He was an adult who was only thirty years younger in soul and only more than 22 years younger in physical rejuvenation, and he always felt a little guilty about marrying such a young girl.

Besides, he declared to the public that he has a wife overseas.

This princess of the Ming Dynasty has a very respectable identity, can she be small?

Even if Huang Liji is given a good-sounding and honest wife, it can't be completely compared with a wife, right?

(Pingwife: is a kinship title under the monogamous and polyandry system.) More than one wife is called a flat wife, that is, both of them are big wives, and they are also called opposite rooms, that is, they are equal to the main house. )

Unlike concubines, flat wives do not need to give concubine salutes to the Yuan match, but the actual status is still not as good as that of the Yuan match, and the flat wife still has to call the Yuan match the eldest sister.

In addition to ancient China, Japan and ****** religions before the sixth century also had polygamy and flat marriage.

"Lord Huang, in the name of his wife, he has always been unfair to the princess, if it is not the main palace, how can I show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. I think it's better to forget it! Zhu Zilong thought about it and replied to Huang Liji.

"Longhou is too worried, the main palace is the palace, the east palace, and the west palace are not respected. You don't see, the beauty of the Spring and Autumn Qi King is also talking! Huang Liji, who wanted to pull this marriage into the case, immediately took the three wives and four concubines in the Warring States period to talk about it.

The so-called three wives refer to a good story of the monarch of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Legend has it that after the establishment of the monarchy of Qi was indecided, and even the government and the opposition discussed a lot, and then the monarchy was established after the three people, namely: the main palace, the east palace, and the west palace, and the three queens.

(Real people, real stories!) )

The above is not the only official history, there is also an emperor who also had three queens at the same time.

Liu Cong, whose name is Xuanming, was the fourth son of Emperor Liu Yuan of the Northern Han Dynasty.

In the first month of the fourth year of Jiaping, there were three suns in the sky from west to east, there was an earthquake in the Pingyang area, Chongming Temple fell into a pool, the water in it was as red as blood, and someone saw a red dragon flying up from the water. A meteor broke into Ziweiyuan, shaped like a dragon, and finally landed ten miles north of Pingyang.

Liu Cong thought that this was a hint from God, so he made his three favorite concubines the queen at the same time.

And there is another emperor, who is even more bombarded.

Emperor Yuwenyun of Tianyuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the five empresses stood side by side, and the four empresses except the Empress of Yuan and Tianyuan were all equal wives.

Officials also have this kind of history, Jia Chong in the Jin Dynasty first married Li Wan, and then because of the accident in the Li family, Li Wan was convicted of exile and divorced, and then married Guo Huai. Later, Li Wan was pardoned, and the emperor authorized him to marry two wives, called "Left and Right Lady".

At this moment, Zhu Zilong was still a little entangled.

Ban Xiang found another reason and said; "Brother Huang, the princess is still young!"

Who knows, before Zhu Zilong finished speaking, Huang Liji interrupted: "Why did Sihai say this? Folk marriage, all at the age of eleven. Princess Changping is sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. This is also young, and some officials take concubines in their seventies and eighties, isn't that inferior to birds and beasts? ”

They are really inferior to beasts, Zhu Zilong muttered in his heart.

The social habits of the Ming Dynasty were like this, not to mention that men were fifty years old, they were eighty-year-old officials and rich people. It is normal to find a few or dozens of twelve-year-old girls to be wives.

Zhu Zilong wanted to use this as a shield, but it was obviously useless.

In the end, Zhu Zilong looked at Huang Liji's expression and sighed: "Brother Huang, I know that you are for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jiajun does have some great achievements, and whoever is in power will not be at ease, and he must do something to control and alliance. Of course, there are also personal feelings at work in you, but the starting point is good. ”

"But I really can't promise you right away. Well, I'll think about it and then make a decision. ”

Seeing Zhu Zilong answer like this, Huang Li was extremely relieved, what he wanted was Zhu Zilong's attitude.

Zhu Zilong can answer him like this, which means that this matter is only 70% less successful!

A few days later!

Huang Liji took Zhu Zilong's answer that he agreed to marry Princess Changping, and he was satisfied that people replied to the letter for 800 miles.

After Empress Zhang got the reply from Babaili, she summoned the princess to discuss it as soon as possible.

In the palace, Empress Zhang said to Changping: "Sister, this thing is the meaning of this palace." Although you were not born in this palace, this palace has always been raised as your own child. Zhu Sihai is the husband of today's strange man, marry him, you don't lose, this palace doesn't lose. The emperor won't blame me when he wakes up, and it will do no harm to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Facing the queen's notice, Zhu Yujiao nodded sensibly.

The royal family is a concubine, and it has never been a marriage, but the situation of Zhu Zilong's body is too special. Daming has arrived at this time, it is really in danger, and it is impossible to treat it before.

Only by marrying a daughter can the royal family show that the royal family has kindness to Zhu Zilong's body!

Ten days later, Zhu Zilong and Huang Liji entered Beijing.

The formation of waiting for Zhu Zilong has reached the standard of the Ming prince. Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, was the leader, and basically all the ministers in Beijing arrived. And it's a greeting team fifteen miles out of the city!

Seeing Zhu Zilong coming, Cao Huachun said in a sharp voice: "The queen's mother's message!" ”

Hundreds of officials knelt and bowed, and Zhu Zilong stood and waited.

"The Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas was originally a returned guest from overseas, and he didn't know the number of etiquette, and the gift of the vassal king was not overdue, it was a gift for the royal family, and it should be started!"

Zhu Zilong hurriedly replied: "The minister thanked Your Majesty and Niangniang for their kindness and magnanimity. ”

Until entering the palace, a group of people in the palace accompanied Zhu Zilong.

And for him, Princess Changping, she grew up listening to Zhu Zilong's stories of a hundred battles since she was a child. Therefore, there is no resistance at all in my heart for this marriage.

Even, when there is no one in private, he often mutters something to himself.

There are dragons and princes from the four seas, what more can a husband ask for?

It can be seen that this is a political marriage that everyone is happy about, only Zhu Zilong has received an internal reward, and after knowing these contents, the guilt in his heart is much less.

And Zhu Zilong, who entered the palace, did not just take the marriage with the princess, but deliberately entered Beijing.

The princess's accident is important, but it also comes with reporting her own plans and twists and turns.

Therefore, talking about it in the palace is a day.

Wait until Zhu Zilong comes out.

The queen sent a recital to the cabinet, saying that she and the Marquis of the Four Seas meant that the cabinet must be implemented.

The content is divided into several articles:

First, in addition to a few limited ports in Guangdong, an additional formal maritime trade system was opened, and a royal shipping department was set up to collect customs duties and transportation taxes.

Second, the canal sailors in various places were abolished, and the Ming Navy was established to ensure that the open sea trade was not affected by the pirates. (In fact, at the same time, it is to give Zhu Zilong's naval expansion and unification a chance.) )

Third, a commercial tax will be levied, but it will not be used throughout the country, and Shandong, Jiangnan, and other provinces along the canal will be opened up as special zones on a trial basis. (similar to Hong Kong SAR)!

Fourth, reinstate the test method, etc.!

Because more than half of the ministers in the cabinet are the queen and Zhu Zilong's people, in the case of a small number of opposition, but it cannot affect the overall situation. Soon, these four new rules were passed!

When Zhu Zilong was sent away, Empress Zhang was very happy.

called Princess Changping again and said, "The wedding is scheduled for next year, so let's prepare first." Shandong is outside, you also have to learn how to be the main house and housekeeper for people, unlike in the palace. Got it? ”

The sensible Zhu Yujiao listened quietly to the lecture and nodded with a smile. My heart is very happy!
