Chapter 1110: The Big Wedding

Starting a family and getting married alone means that you are an adult, mature, and become a real man, able to shoulder responsibilities, face problems, and deal with things...... At the age of fifteen, it seems that it is still a little early to get married, but Wanli can't wait, he wants to prove to the world that he has grown up, and he is not the poor worm who was pinched in the hands of the ministers.

"Yuansuke, with your old wisdom, you won't be unable to understand Your Majesty's plan for this step, I think we have to do our best to delay." This is Yin Shidan's view.

As one of the accomplices who executed the Li family at the beginning, what he feared the most was that Wanli would grow up and stage the emperor's revenge. After hearing that Wanli was going to get married, he couldn't sleep for several nights, and the whole person was haggard.

"Isn't it a slap in the face to procrastinate yourself?" Cao Dazhang sighed.

It turned out that three years ago, with the immigration to Nanyang, the food supply was sufficient, the Ming Dynasty set off a wave of childbearing, and the imperial court also rewarded more children, and in order to prevent singles, and strive for every couple of men and women of the right age to become a couple, Tang Yi led the cabinet to promulgate the "Marriage Law", abolishing the existence of "concubines" in principle.

The so-called polygamy is a false statement, to be more precise, polyandry and concubinage, and in ancient times, formal wives had almost equal power as husbands. Casually insulting a wife is punishable severely.

But the concubine is more embarrassing, basically just a slave, just like Aunt Zhao in the Red Mansion, nominally an aunt, is Jia Zheng's concubine, in fact, she can't even compare to some decent housekeepers, Miss Gongzi, even her own daughter looks down on her.

Think about it, an old man in his seventies and eighties, with a lot of beard, can he still give birth to a child if he is a teenager and a big girl like a flower? If you accept several in one go, wouldn't it mean that there are many young people who want to beat singles, which is definitely a waste of resources.

Under the banner of encouraging childbirth, Tang Yi implemented the marriage law, and concubines enjoyed the same status as his wife in law. Moreover, the age difference between concubines cannot exceed ten years, and the maximum number cannot exceed three, and each additional concubine needs to pay a high fine. Of course, if you marry an overseas woman as a concubine, you will not be restricted, you can have as much as you want, as long as your body can afford it, no one cares about you.

It may seem like the marriage law is a lot of problems, but it's definitely a lot more advanced than it used to be.

Cao Dazhang's meaning is very clear, since the imperial court encourages childbirth everywhere, and His Majesty has also reached the age of marriage, it seems very inappropriate to delay rashly.

"We don't know how to delay, can't we do it secretly?" Yin Shidan blew his beard and glared: "Your Majesty wants to get married, it always takes time to prepare for the ceremony, and it takes time for the draft girl, all kinds of complicated ceremonies, one by one, there is no problem in delaying it for one or two years, or even two or three years." ”

"And what about two or three years from now?" Tan Lun suddenly spoke.

Yin Shidan was dumbfounded by the question, opened his mouth for a long time, couldn't say anything, and finally could only shake his head and sigh, "Can it be delayed for a day, but you can't watch it after all, right?" ”

"Needless to say!" Tang Yi suddenly waved his hand and said with a generous smile: "Just do things according to the rules, I have my own opinions." ”

He made a decision, and the rest of the people could only nod, Yin Shidan was still hesitant, but there was no other way, he could only lament and retire, why should he be greedy for power, if he wants to be like the big ribbons, take the initiative to withdraw, maybe ...... Alas!

Seeing these people leave, Tang Yi was also sighing, his reform has been promoted for ten years, Dongchang Jinyi Wei has been abolished, the six cabinets, local governors, all have been reformed, and even the National Assembly has been formed, from the entire structure, he has been abolished by the emperor's minions.

But why did Yin Shidan and these people still be scared to death when they heard the news of Wanli's wedding?

In a word, the imperial power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the tradition of thousands of years is really difficult to change.

Don't look at Tang Yi's reforms over the years, in the same way, the power of discontent is also accumulating, and their methods are more sophisticated than before.

For example, Tang Yi founded the Yangming Society, and a large number of societies, societies, poetry societies, and Yangming societies have also appeared in various places.

Tang Yi has a large number of newspapers in his hands, and others have also founded newspapers to promote their own ideas, although these forces are far from being unified, and they cannot shake the status of Xinxue, but all kinds of signs show that the power of royalism has always existed, and it is still very strong.

Thinking about it, you also know that even if you directly overthrow the emperor, there will be a restoration of the imperial system, not to mention reform and improvement.

In the midst of the New Deal, a large number of traditional gentry, the remnants of science, the reformed clans, the nobles and generals who have lost power, and many people of all kinds are rapidly gathering with different purposes.

Before there was a push to enter the cabinet, and then there was a Wanli wedding, this force must be unprecedentedly inspired, he is still on the table, naturally there is a way to deal with it, the pass is five years later, can he hand over the power smoothly, and the next person can keep their own line?

"Go and call Shen Shixing."

Not long after, Shen Shixing hurried over.

"Meet the teacher."

"Excuse me." Tang Yi smiled faintly, "You should have heard about it, do you have any ideas?" ”

"The disciple thinks that a big wedding should be held for His Majesty as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Tang Yi smiled: "But some people suggest that you should try your best to delay." ”

Shen Shixing smiled, "Marriage matters, inheritance of children and grandchildren, such things, justifiable, if you delay, wouldn't you fall behind, and give people a handle for nothing." ”

Tang Yi nodded, "It makes sense, but after getting married, Your Majesty will be an adult, and there will always be something different, how do you think you should deal with it?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."

Tang Yi's face sank, "I'm afraid it's a little heavy, right?" ”

"If this is not the case, the disciple thinks that the key at the moment is in the hearts of the people, and the key to winning the hearts and minds of the people is in the situation, as long as the general trend is in me, I don't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place."

Shen Shixing said vaguely, but Tang Yi knew it well, his meaning was very simple, that is, let Wanli play tricks, and they concentrated on the general trend.

As long as the general trend is in his hands, no matter how cunning Wanli is, he has to succumb. If he insists on not listening, then he will have to be the companion of his mother!

After discussing a few more words, Tang Yi was very satisfied, at least Shen Shixing's mind was sober and determined, since this was the case, he handed over the matter of handling the emperor's wedding to him, and I believe that Shen Shixing would definitely be able to do it beautifully.

After Shen Shixing received the task, he immediately arranged to select show girls across the country, and the Ming court has always selected girls from small families as queens and princesses, and what he was afraid of was that his relatives would interfere in politics.

However, Wanli has the intention to seize power, and naturally needs the stronger the father-in-law, the better, who should be chosen, it really took a lot of thought, Shen Shixing was thinking about how to persuade Wanli, at this time, Xu Guo suddenly found him.

"Elder Shen Ge, Your Majesty, Your Majesty already has a favorite candidate."

"Oh, who is it?" Shen Shixing said curiously.

"It's a palace maid surnamed Wang." Xu Guolao's face turned red, and he lowered his voice and said: "Two months ago, Your Majesty drank a little wine and was fortunate to have a palace maid in the Qianqing Palace, and as a result, she became pregnant with a dragon seed. ”

"Really?" Shen Shixing hurriedly asked.

"That's right, the Imperial Doctor has already tested it, and it is indeed pregnant. His Majesty felt ashamed of the palace maid, and because she was good-looking, well-behaved, and pregnant, she should be immediately elected queen and enter the harem. Xu Guo looked very embarrassed and complained: "The palace maid is from a humble background, and there are no relatives in the family, I heard that there is only one eldest brother, who is a lion dancer, very bitter, very bitter...... It stands to reason that such a family is inevitably a little unsuitable, but His Majesty insists on this, and the old man has no choice. ”

Shen Shixing's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "Xu Ge Lao's words are inevitably a little prejudiced, in my opinion, although His Majesty is young, he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is very responsible. However, since I am already pregnant, I can't delay it for too long, I immediately asked Yuanfu to canonize the brother of the palace maid as an earl, and prepare the ceremony within a month, what does Elder Xu Ge think? ”

Xu Guo's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "It's so good, I'm still a little confused and timid, such a big thing, that is, Shen Ge Lao can make up his mind!" ”

……

"Hahaha, our majesty, we have learned to play tricks!"

After listening to Shen Shixing's report, Tang Yi couldn't help laughing, he couldn't guess it, it turned out that Wanli was worried that Tang Yi would play tricks on marriage, so he came to cut first and then play, and deliberately pretended to be affectionate and righteous, and only married a woman who was extremely poor as the queen, Tang Yi would not still guard against others!

It seems that the little emperor is still cautiously tempting, for fear that he will exceed Tang Yi's bottom limit and invite revenge.

It's just that he underestimated Tang Yi's mind and pattern, and the cabinet quickly allocated 2 million yuan and ordered that the envoys of the vassal states in Beijing prepare to participate in the emperor's wedding ceremony.

In addition, Tang Yi proposed to hold a grand military parade to add color to His Majesty's wedding ceremony, although the time was pressing, but Wanli's wedding ceremony was held in accordance with the highest specifications.

After the Cai, the auspicious time was selected by the Qin Tianjian, and the university scholar Shen Shixing was the wedding messenger, and the quasi-queen was welcomed into the Fengtian Gate, until the Qianqing Palace, the emperor and queen met, drank the wine, and entered the cave room in a drum music.

After turning the day, Wanli took Queen Wang, full of spirits, to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors, and meet the ancestors of the Zhu family, since then, the Wang family is the official daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and the mother is the world.

The whole wedding celebration is over according to the previous process, Tang Yi increased the link of the military parade, His Majesty the Emperor in three days after the wedding, dressed in a brand new uniform, riding on a tall war horse, reviewing the majestic soldiers, accepting the congratulations of the envoys of the vassal country, black pressing, kneeling down a large piece, it is really all countries to come to the court, the prestige is majestic.

Strange clothes, all kinds of looks, black, white, yellow, red, different skin tones, worship the supreme of the Ming Dynasty, it is really enviable.

But Wanli's heart did not have a trace of joy, the limelight of the wedding was completely stolen by the military parade, and how many people noticed that I Zhu Yijun was an adult! (To be continued.) )
