The war in the north has entered a stage of slow advancement, but everyone knows that a big war is inevitable and only a matter of time.

The Qing army needs to take a break to relax, and the Ming army is actually the same, except for the army to rest, the area of Shandong and Henan is too large and needs to be digested slowly.

Wang Deyong, who entered Shanxi, finally came to the news, after Shaanzhou easily entered Shanxi, Wang Deyong was like a bamboo, and the power of the Zhouzi banner was fully displayed, and the states and counties along the way had no resistance, except for the vast majority of the states and counties to surrender directly, and a small number of officials and troops appointed by the Qing army began to retreat north.

Zhou Huchen, who is about to become a colt, began to get busy, preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Huchen and most of the officials in the court did not know each other, this opportunity was good, just to get acquainted with people from all walks of life.

ushered in the delivery all day long, and Zhou Huchen, an absolute upstart, was very busy. But this is not over, a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Huchen was summoned by the emperor and the queen mother in the palace once, except for not seeing the beautiful princess who put him together, everything was very satisfied. There were a lot of rewards, what silk satin, jade and jade were brought back by Zhou Huchen.

It's time to go, it's time to come, with the Mid-Autumn Festival coming, the wedding of Zhou Huchen and the princess is in full swing.

The princess's marriage needs to be announced to the world and needs to be celebrated, which belongs to a national celebration, and the official who presides over this celebration is the honor of Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Although the princess's marriage is similar to an ordinary wedding, there are too many cumbersome etiquettes and too grand, and these etiquette and related matters can not be flawed even a little bit, and the workload is definitely not light for Qian Qianyi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the wedding.

These jobs were not only for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but also for Zhou Huchen, who was very sad and began to study etiquette all day under the supervision of several officials of the Ministry of Rites, who had a nice name - the horse teaching. You can't wear the wrong costume, you can't make the wrong program. Every salute action, even the gait, had to be repeated thousands of times, which made Zhou Huchen finally understand that it was too difficult for a princess to endure. Fortunately, this princess is worth marrying, and Zhou Huchen endured it.

On August 13, there are still five days before Zhou Huchen's wedding.

It was still an endless practice under the supervision of officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Huchen was very annoyed.

"Young master, someone from Yangzhou has something important to give back to you!" A housekeeper suddenly barged in:

Taking a rare opportunity to take a break, Zhou Huchen confessed to the two officials of the Ministry of Rites. The two officials of the Ministry of Rites were reasonable, and the two found an excuse to avoid it.

It was a hundred households who ran over, who gave Zhou Huchen a salute, and the hundred households surnamed Niu hurriedly reported: "Dashuai, according to the news from Henan, He Dufu discovered the current holy prince, and now the person escorting the prince is estimated to have arrived in Yangzhou, and his subordinates are coming back and forth." ”

The crown prince, another prince. There has already been a fake Prince Chongzhen, and now another one, does Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youxiang have a son? Now this prince makes Zhou Huchen scratch his head.

"It's been hard all the way, Niu Baihu sat down and talked about it in detail." It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It doesn't hurt to listen to it, as for knowing the truth and falsehood, it is easy to know the truth and falsehood, Zhu Youxiang's son will identify it himself, and there is no need for Zhou Huchen to worry about it. It would be nice if it was a real prince. Undoubtedly, it will greatly stabilize the morale of the military and the people.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's peasant army captured Luoyang, and Zhu Changxun, the old king of fortune, was killed. Princess Fu Zou and her son You Song escaped from Luoyang under the escort of the minister, and then crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin to take refuge in Huaiqing Mansion. Soon attacked the king of fortune. Later, when Li Zicheng captured Huaiqing, Zhu Youxiang fled to Huai'an with King Lu and others.

Zhu Yousong really has a son, when fleeing from Luoyang, Zhu Youxiang's son Zhu Lianbi ran away with Zhu Youxiang under the protection of his family Zhang Jingming, and under the protection of Zhang Jingming, Zhu Lianbi hid in the area of Mengkeng, the old city of Luoyang, and then fled to Xin'an County to hide. He Tengjiao marched into Henan, this Xin'an County is very close to Luoyang, when He Tengjiao's army appeared, because most of the army was the former Dashun army, this Zhu Lianbi and his subordinate Zhang Jingming have never dared to show up. It wasn't until the entire Henan was recovered that Zhang Jingming and Zhu Lianbi finally knew that these armies belonged to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Youxiang. The next thing is very simple, when Zhu Lianbi and his family Zhang Jingming found He Tengjiao with tokens, the high-spirited He Tengjiao immediately sent someone to protect Zhu Lianbi and Zhang Jingming. Soon, He Tengjiao sent a fast horse straight to Nanjing, and Zhu Lianbi and Zhang Jingming also began to go south under the escort of the army.

Zhou Huchen knew that this prince was almost certain to be real, and only a madman would pretend to be a prince to send him to death.

Zhou Huchen got the news at about the same time as Zhu Youxiang, but unfortunately the news came out very late, and on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, two days after Zhou Huchen continued to work hard, the news in the palace came out, and the crown prince Zhu Lianbi was confirmed.

The whole city of Nanjing is boiling again, this is a good news of three joys, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince returns, and the princess is about to get married.

On August 16, it was already noon, and Zhou Huchen, who was about to become a bridegroom, had to enter the palace again, and the emperor summoned him.

When Zhou Huchen appeared in front of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, the great eunuch Lu Jiude had been waiting for a long time.

"The old slave has seen the uncle." Lu Jiude is full of etiquette, Zhou Huchen is about to be a concubine, but after all, it is not, Lu Jiude, the old slave, shouted a little early.

"It's Grandpa Lu! Today is Bixia summoning Benbo. Zhou Huchen didn't care what Lu Jiude called himself, he began to listen to the news with a smile.

Lu Jiude waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the door hurriedly ran away, this Lu Gonggong was very humble in front of Zhou Huchen, but in front of these palace slaves, it was absolutely heaven, and the prestige of the chief eunuch of the inner court could be seen.

"Long live the Lord is inside, the Queen Mother, the concubine and the princess are also there, and the prince is also there, in fact, I am waiting for you to meet the prince, and then I will invite the ministers to celebrate together."

Zhou Huchen understood, this is the prince to meet his future brother-in-law after accepting the court, the royal means are really not simple, this is tantamount to naked wooing, but this kind of wooing is high-sounding, Zhou Huchen has to admire this deliberate arrangement.

Xie Lu Jiude entered the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was here, the queen mother was there, Zhou Huchen bowed three times, and then he was the prince.

This prince Zhu Lianbi is fifteen years old, and Zhu Youxiang is completely different, this child is more normal, normal means that he is not as fat as his father, and he looks pretty good. Moreover, this prince is very humble, when Zhou Huchen bowed down, this Zhu Lianbi immediately stood up and helped each other and said in a loud voice: "Excuse me, excuse me!" Dongchangbo is light! ”

Whether it was taught in advance or a real corporal behavior, this prince Zhu Lianbi was obviously very polite, without any feeling of being superior, which gave Zhou Huchen a good impression.

After worshipping the prince, he worshiped his future wife, Princess Zhu Shuhuan.

may be in front of the emperor, Zhou Huchen's beautiful princess wife was quite reserved today, and replied softly: "Uncle Dongchang is exempt." ”

This is to worship enough!

There is also a concubine in the back, which has to be worshipped.

After worshipping the concubine, Zhou Huchen finally worshiped enough, and Emperor Zhu Youxiang smiled: "Come here, give Dongchang Bo a seat." ”

Sitting is to sit, kowtowing too much, Zhou Huchen didn't want to stand, politely, as Zhu Youxiang asked him to sit down again, Zhou Huchen sat down with a butt.

"Lian Bi, is Xiaohu as strong as the rumors? This is the horse that your father and your imperial grandmother gave your imperial sister to see, my strongest general in the Ming Dynasty! In the future, learn more from Xiaohu, especially lead the troops to fight and make firearms, no one in the world is Xiaohu's opponent! How fortunate it is for my Zhu family to have such a capable and good general, and to have such a son-in-law! ”

Zhu Youxiang is really not simple, this is obviously asking his son, but he is actually praising Zhou Huchen, boasting that no one in the world is out of control, and this title is equivalent to completely treating Zhou Huchen as his royal person. Admire who said that Zhu Youxiang was mediocre, and Zhou Huchen was anxious with him.

"I have heard the prestige of Dongchangbo for a long time, in fact, I will call my brother-in-law in the future, my brother-in-law is the prince Shaobao, this Donggong teacher can just come to ask for advice, and I will ask my brother-in-law for more guidance in the future!"

Zhu Lianbi stood up in response and bowed to Zhou Huchen, who had not yet reacted.

The crown prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, and the prince and the prince are all officials in the East Palace, and they are all responsible for teaching the prince. The prince and the prince teach literature, the prince and the prince teach martial arts, and the prince protects his safety. The prince and the young master, the prince and the young master, and the prince and the prince are all their deputies, and the titles of the prince and the prince are just an honorary title, and they are not really a lesson to the prince.

The quote is so good! Who taught it? It seems that the royal people are not simple, and this prince Zhu Lianbi will definitely be a person in the future!

What is a cage? This is called cage, you will not blow up the hair in the cage in the future, and there is a ring on it, so that you feel that we are your own people and will not have other ideas.

Zhou Huchen couldn't sit still, he stood up and saluted back: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, this is the duty of the minister, and he only knows a little about the military affairs, if His Royal Highness the Prince has time, the minister is willing to be the prince's teacher." ”

To be polite, if this prince Zhu Lianbi really learns, Zhou Huchen really teaches, an emperor who is proficient in military affairs! If he really appears in this era, for the ideal in his heart, Zhou Huchen can kowtow to him every day.

Zhu Lianbi bowed down and saluted again, and the words followed quickly: "I am willing to teach my brother-in-law a lot for my brother-in-law!" ”

Brother-in-law is still unmarried, this name makes Princess Zhu Shuhuan already red, but on this occasion she can't run away directly, she is very helpless.

At this time, Empress Dowager Zou interjected with a smile on her face: "It's all a family, don't be polite!" There will be a banquet in a while, Xiaohu hurried to prepare with Bi'er, and the two of you will be the welcome guests today. ”

Zhu Youxiang is the emperor, he can't greet the guests in person, and this welcome thing belongs to Zhu Lianbi. But this Empress Dowager Zou is powerful enough, in her words, we are a family, don't be hypocritical, let's go together, it is equivalent to tying Zhou Huchen and Zhu Lianbi together.

If you don't accept it, it's really not simple! (To be continued......)
