Chapter 215: The Qin Family's Command
When the ministers in the Fengtian Hall cried to worship Emperor Hongzhi, and Zhu Houzhao was fiddled back and forth like a puppet, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were still busy with another matter, something that seemed completely contrary to the funeral atmosphere of Emperor Hongzhi.
Zhu Houzhao is getting married.
The first emperor died, according to the rules, the subjects must keep filial piety for three years, the whole country will be mourned within three years, the people will ban alcohol and music, and marriage must be banned, in short, all entertainment and festive things must be prohibited, otherwise it is a great disrespect to the emperor of Daxing, and the government can punish the crime according to law after being sued.
The people are not allowed to marry, but the heavenly family is different, especially Zhu Houzhao, the old Zhu family has a single seedling in thousands of hectares, the new monarch has ascended the throne, the state has a monarch, but there is no queen, the so-called heavenly family has no trivial matter, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and the ministers who like to worry about it began to pay serious attention to the reproduction of Zhu Houzhao.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites have already come up with a statement, after the emperor is in line, the new monarch can get married, but within 100 days, the three years after the 100 days is the period of filial piety, the so-called "100 days", it is a workaround, the new monarch in the first emperor died within 100 days of marriage, this is called "borrowing filial piety", the official does not return to his hometown after the death of his parents, and the emperor ordered him to continue to assist the emperor, which is called "seizing love".
The Confucian etiquette system is like a swaying wall grass, all the sayings are for the ruler, all the actions of the ruler are reasonable and legitimate, the original etiquette is not allowed to do, but the ruler just did it, it doesn't matter, the Confucian academic system also has perfect after-sales service, let's add this to it.

Zhu Houzhao's wife, the future Empress of the Ming Dynasty, was born in an ordinary eunuch family, which is a unique scenery exclusive to the Ming Dynasty.
After the past dynasties, there are too many lessons from the past when the party's relatives manipulated power and disordered government. So there was an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor must marry the daughter of ordinary petty officials and even ordinary people, and those powerful ministers such as cabinet scholars and other officials are absolutely not allowed to marry the emperor.
For example, the Empress of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang. Her father Zhang Luan was only a Xiucai background, and when her daughter Zhang was elected as the crown princess in the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Zhang Luan was just a small tribute student who entered the country with a township tribute. After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he established the Zhang family as the queen, and the old father-in-law Zhang Luan was only named Shou Ningbo. Because of this small knighthood incident, Emperor Hongzhi also had a red face with the ministers, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister was unprecedentedly tense and stiff for a while.
Zhu Houzhao's future wife is naturally not a prominent official eunuch, his father-in-law's surname is Xia Mingru, he is a fellow acquaintance of the Chinese Military Governor's Office, and he has an empty title of Jinyi Guard's command, which is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary.
Zhu Houzhao's family affairs were decided before Emperor Hongzhi's great trip, and no one was allowed to oppose it, and the marriage must be completed immediately within 100 days after the first emperor's great trip.
Qin Kan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he thought that Zhu Houzhao was going to get married. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy cares about fighting dogs and crickets all day long, thinking about what kind of play is fun, changing tricks, and there is only one word "play" in his life. He was only a half-grown child, but this child was about to marry someone else's husband.
For a child, as a gentleman and a husband, does he understand the meaning of the word responsibility?
Zhu Houzhao can sneak out of Fengtian Palace, and Qin Kan can naturally sneak home from the palace.
Emperor Koji was critically ill. Since receiving the order to enter the palace to guard, Qin Kan has been guarding the palace, watching the historical events in his previous life that only exist in the history books with a detached audience-like vision.
Zhu Houzhao doesn't understand the word responsibility, but Qin Kan understands.
In addition to shouldering the income of a family, he also knows how to take care of his elders, wives and children, at least often let his family see him, since ancient times, humans are burrowing animals, and burrowing animals generally return to the cave at night. For most people, home is not a post station, not a hotel, but the final destination. …,
Ding Shun and Li Er's attendants were beside Qin Kan's carriage and rushed all the way out of the city.
The wheels of the carriage creaked, sounding a little toothy, Qin Kan's brocade robe was covered with a layer of white filial piety, and he sat in the carriage expressionlessly, Ding Shun was riding a horse, and was whispering to him through the curtain of the carriage.
"King Ning has been in Beijing for more than half a month, but there is no sign of leaving Beijing, a few days ago there have been several imperial historians to the cabinet to sparse, saying that the vassal king must stay in his own fiefdom according to the system, instead of entering Beijing under the guise of the Son of Heaven to congratulate but not leaving, King Ning This is a broken rule, please ask the cabinet of three scholars to come forward on behalf of His Majesty, and drive King Ning back to the fiefdom of Nanchang, otherwise let him jump up and down in the Beijing Division, and I don't know what chaos will happen."
Qin Kan asked lightly, "What has King Ning done in Jingshi these days?" ”
Ding Shun smiled a little sarcastically, and said: "King Ning is very responsible, and after the imperial historians asked King Ning to return to the fiefdom, King Ning fell ill at the right time, and this illness naturally could not start the journey. ”
Qin Kan smiled coldly and said, "This gives King Ning a chance to take advantage of, he is very responsible in the post house, I'm afraid the subordinates he brought will not be able to do anything, right?" ”
Ding Shun said with a smile: "My lord is right, Li Shishi, a staff member of King Ning's Mansion, has been active in Beijing these days, and they are all visiting in the starry night, and a cart of gold, silver and beautiful maids are sent to the minister's house, and many officials in Beijing can make a lot of money this time." ”
"Who are they?"
"The six squires, Dali Temple, Guanglu Temple, the palace horse supervisor, the internal official supervisor, etc., and even the Chunfang University scholar Yang Tinghe ...... Li Shishi was very secretive, but he probably didn't expect that the adults had already begun to pay attention to him, and set up strict eyeliner surveillance, and his every move could not escape the eyes of his subordinates. ”
Qin Kan nodded: "Write down the names of the ministers he has come into contact with, and it's best to figure out what specific gifts he gave to those ministers." These things are important. ”
"Yes."
Qin Kan looked at Ding Shun and said with a smile: "You have followed me for more than a year, you have done your best, and you are also smart, now that I have been promoted to the commander of Tongzhi, the thousands of households in the inner city cannot be vacant, and the position of a thousand households will be taken by you." Li Er is a deputy thousand households. ”
Ding Shun was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly stopped the carriage. He and Li Er turned over and dismounted, and without saying a word, they knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Qin Kan, and said with tears in their eyes: "Subordinate Lord Xie lifts up." In my lifetime, I am willing to die for adults! ”
"Get up, remember my words, and in your lifetime, you will share wealth and hardship."
"Yes!"
The door of the Qin Mansion hung a white cloth filial piety belt, two white paper lanterns were hung high in front of the door, since the day of the announcement of the national funeral in the Shuntian Mansion, whether the minister or the common people in the city, every household was dressed in linen and wore filial piety. All kinds of things in the family are tied with filial piety to show the memory of the first emperor, and the Qin Mansion is naturally no exception.
When he entered the house, the sad atmosphere in his eyes revealed a bit of out-of-place joy, and the housekeeper greeted him out of the door. The expression was sad, but his eyes were jumping with joy, and he didn't know how to think that the death of Emperor Hongzhi made him applaud, if this kind of gaze was seen by Zhu Houzhao, at least it would be a crime.
"Your Hun family gave birth to a big fat boy who is very similar to Wang Juren next door?" Qin Kan asked with a frown.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "The old man's son is eighteen years old, and he doesn't look like the old man next door......
"So what are you happy about now? Is this a time to rejoice? ”
The head of the housekeeper made a gesture. smiled happily: "Congratulations to the master!" The lord has been promoted to command the same knowledge, and the lady has also added an edict, a three-grade edict, and now our Qin Mansion is a serious 800 official eunuch, a rich and decent family in ten miles and eight towns, lord, this matter must be celebrated......"...,
Qin Kan squinted at him: "How are you going to celebrate?" ”
The housekeeper is a very thoughtful person, and when he heard this, he smiled confidently: "Ask the subordinates to release two strings of cannonballs, and say to the outside world that our Qin Mansion is too favored by the first emperor, and the first emperor died, and the Qin Mansion is very sad, so what about ourselves, we will ......."
"I will close the door and set up a banquet, and during the national funeral, Master Ben will raise a glass with you to celebrate, right?"
The housekeeper's eyes lit up: "The master also has this thought, this matter is easy to do, and the old man will arrange ......"
Qin Kan said with a calm face: "Call your eighteen-year-old son over." ”
"What did the master tell my boy to do?"
"Because Ben wants to kick him a few times."
"Why?"
"Who told him to have a daddy full of nonsense?"

Entering the bedroom in the inner courtyard, the scene he saw after pushing the door made Qin Kan look up to the sky and sigh.
Du Yan was wearing the court dress of the three-grade lady who had just been sent by the palace, her head was covered with all kinds of pearls and jades, and she was holding a canonization letter issued by a eunuch on behalf of the Son of Heaven in her hand, and she was sitting on the kang head steadily, trying to put on a dignified and holy appearance, the red imperial uniform was obviously ironed once, and the peacock embroidered in the middle was so smooth that it was lifeless as if it was food poisoning.
With envy in her eyes, she was kowtowing respectfully to Du Yan, as if worshipping God in a temple, and there was only a smoky incense burner in the middle.
"The servant meets Mrs. Qin of the third grade...... Ah, no, the voice is a little quieter, you sit tight, and the servant will worship again. ”
Du Yan nodded without a smile, and said solemnly: "Bow well, do you know what this dress on my body represents?" Court! Got it? On behalf of the imperial court! Bow a few more times, and let you touch the light of the court......"
"Uh-huh!" Lianyue and Lianxing nodded heavily, her cheeks were as red as the sunset, and they took two steps back together, and after adjusting the expression on their faces, they waited to bow again.
Qin Kan sighed deeply, this mother-in-law can't ask for it......
Hearing the sigh at the door, the three girls turned their heads together, and saw Qin Kan standing at the door, the three girls were so frightened that they screamed at the same time, and without saying a word, they hurriedly blessed Qin Kan, and then ran out of the bedroom with a red face.
Du Yan reversed her dignified appearance, and happily stepped forward in her uniform, and just called Xianggong, but Qin Kan grabbed her arm, turned her around, and then ...... The big slap was not light or heavy, and it was a few strokes on her soft and elastic buttocks.
Well, the ingredients on behalf of the imperial court are very good, soft and smooth to the touch, and very tactile.
"Yikes! What are you doing? Du Yan was ashamed and angry, covering her hips with her hands and glaring at him hatefully.
"Didn't the lady see that the prime minister was beating the court?"
