The first year of the Apocalypse, March.

In addition to discussing the Liaodong issue in the court, the emperor's marriage also began to be handled. In the palace, Li Xuanzhi and Zhao Xuanzhi, Zhu Changluo's concubines called Zhu Youxiao to Ciqing Palace for discussion.

Li Xuanzhi had already moved out of the cold palace at this time and lived in Ciqing Palace. Li Xuanzhi is the most beloved woman of the first emperor Zhu Changluo, who is inexplicably involved in the political whirlpool. In order to be able to control Xinjun, the Donglin Party kicked Li Xuanzhi out of the game, not only slandering Li Xuanzhi for trying to emulate Wu Zetian, but also saying that she abused the prince, and even said that Zhu Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen was also killed by Li Xuanshi. Then he was driven into the cold palace and almost burned to death.

Before Zhu Changluo died, he also planned to make Li Xuanzhi a concubine, and explained it in front of his courtiers. As a result, after Zhu Changluo died, there was no such thing as canonization.

Li Xuanzhi intends to emulate Wu Zetian's accusation, and smart people can see that this is completely slander. After all, the concubines of the Ming Dynasty were all selected from the innocent women, and the concubines in the palace had no foundation in the court.

As for staying in the Qianqing Palace and not leaving, Li Xuanzhi naturally has her own careful thoughts. After all, Zhu Changluo's last life was only to canonize her as a concubine, and she naturally wanted to be a mother in the world. But this does not conflict with the power of the emperor, and for a fourteen-year-old new monarch, it is also advantageous for the new monarch to have a parent to guide him for a few years.

The Donglin Party was also afraid that Li Xuanzhi would become the second Empress Dowager Li, turn Zhu Youxiao into a monarch like Emperor Wanli, and support the reformist Duì Daming to change the law. That's why Li Xuanzhi was kicked out of the game, and Li Xuanshi's biggest weakness was that he had not yet been canonized.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was already initially able to fight against the Donglin Party, and the defense in the palace became very tight, and it was unlikely that the Donglin Party wanted to secretly kill the emperor. So not long ago, Zhu Youxiao took Li Xuanzhi and Huang Bamei out of the cold palace and arranged for them to live in Ciqing Palace, and also assigned several palace maids to Li Xuanzhi to serve.

After Li Xuanzhi moved into Ciqing Palace, his whole mood was much better. Although she can't meddle in politics, for a woman, whether she can meddle in politics doesn't mean much to her, after all, she was born as a people's daughter, and her mother's family has little room to rise, so naturally she doesn't have a lot of control over finances.

During this time, Li Xuanzhi was idle and bored, so he and Zhao Xuan waited for them to worry about the emperor's marriage. Li Xuanzhi said to Zhu Youxiao: "Emperor, you are now fifteen years old, and you will be an adult next year, and the marriage must be arranged as much as possible." ”

"Yes! Now it's not appropriate for you to live in the barracks alone all day, emperor, it's better to get married early. "Zhao Xuanzhi is also very worried about the emperor's marriage, they are idle all day and have nothing to do, but the emperor's marriage can be handled.

"Alright! Then I will have to worry about you choosing a waiter. Zhu Youxiao agreed, and at the same time he was a little excited in his heart, not knowing what kind of beauties could be selected in this draft.

Soon the imperial court ordered the emperor to get married, and selected 5,000 beautiful girls from the people.

The five thousand show girls are the primary selection, and their appearance must at least pass. Next, these show girls have to pass five levels and cut six generals, after all aspects of the evaluation, only a small part of the final can enter the palace to be selected, this small number of show girls will also experience nearly half a year of observation in the palace, and finally select three people, by the emperor to appoint the queen.

Five thousand beauties, elect a queen.

It's really a little exciting to think about it, and Zhu Youxiao is full of expectations for the draft.

Looking forward to the rules, Zhu Youxiao still lived in the barracks as usual. After several months of training, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the Wuxiang Cavalry Division were already able to line up in a neat charging formation at this time.

However, in the process of charging, he can still only jog and charge. At such a level, it is enough to protect the infantry. If the enemy cavalry wants to charge their own infantry, the cavalry division will definitely win when they launch a counterattack. But if you take the initiative, such a charge speed is easy to be kite-flying.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao began to continuously strengthen the discipline of the cavalry division, except for not being in the barracks when he was about to go to court, most of the rest of the time was to eat and live and move to the barracks.

With the emperor leading by example, the soldiers of the cavalry division all breathed a sigh of relief and worked hard to train. In addition to training team charges, Zhu Youxiao also advocated that soldiers practice riding and martial arts diligently, so that they can face various combat environments.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao is even more set an example, at this time Zhu Youxiao is only a fifteen-year-old boy, full of energy. He knew the importance of training, so he practiced riding and martial arts very diligently in the barracks.

The so-called poor and rich in politics is very good. Although the royal family had financial problems, at least there was money to practice martial arts, and there was an ample supply of materials. And there are also people to guide, Zhu Youxiao's big inner master is called Wang Jinli, a eunuch in his fifties looks like he is about thirty years old, he is a master of internal boxing, and he taught Zhu Youxiao a set of internal vomiting methods.

This kind of martial arts is not suitable for battlefield fighting, such as the anti-Japanese period, the warrior monks of Southern Shaolin reinforced the battlefield, and their personal martial arts are very good, but the martial arts style is not suitable for battlefield fighting, and they were defeated by the Japanese invaders. Later, Yu Dayou had a discussion with these warrior monks and changed his style before overcoming this problem.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only learned the method of internal boxing, and he still exercises riding skills and moves suitable for battlefield battles every day, with a simple and direct style, which is just in line with Zhu Youxiao's appetite.

I don't know if it's because of the abundant material supply or because of the traverser, after a few months, Zhu Youxiao found that his body had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his martial arts had also made amazing progress.

After several months of observation, among the officers of the cavalry division, two people entered Zhu Youxiao's field of vision, one was named Wang Xiongwu, who was originally a hundred households, with a strong body like a bear, superb martial arts, and good courage, and a loyal personality, and his command ability was not bad.

The other is named Li Wei, Teng Xiang Youwei is a native of the country, has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he also won the Xiucai fame when he was a teenager, and then traveled with a sword and visited the world's martial arts masters. Later, his father passed away, and Li Wei filled the vacancy for his father and became the right guard of Zhen Tengxiang. Li Wei is very amazing in martial arts, and he also has a good literary style, quite a Confucian style. Zhu Youxiao appointed Li Wei as the commander of the Tengxiang Cavalry Division.

Zhu Youxiao appointed the two of them as commanders of the cavalry division, mainly based on their martial arts and courage. As long as the level of command and management of the army is qualified.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had huge manpower and material resources, and as long as Zhu Youxiao could improve his financial revenue, the army would be as large as he wanted. What is most feared on the battlefield is not that the generals have no strategy, but that the generals are afraid of death.

As long as these generals are not afraid of death and have enough courage on their bodies, the soldiers under them will not be afraid. Courage is linked to martial arts, and the so-called art masters are bold. Moreover, the martial arts are high and can also convince the public, making it easier to command.

Even if he suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, Zhu Youxiao could still pull out more troops and put them into the battlefield. As long as every unit can fight bravely, Zhu Youxiao will ensure the level of training and equipment of these troops, and the wild boar skins will be consumed to death.

The appointment of the commanders of the two cavalry divisions also put the training on the right track thoroughly, and it was not necessary for Zhu Youxiao to keep an eye on it. Zhu Youxiao, who had his hands free, decided to start rectifying the Beijing camp.
