Early the next morning, the front of the Li Mansion was full of people, and the sound was noisy, crowded with people who came to send congratulatory gifts.

Li Yuntian did not shirk this time, but asked his subordinates to accept all those congratulatory gifts, and he had already thought about using these congratulatory gifts for military expenses to quell the rebellion.

After a busy night of people, the Li Mansion was lit up with lights, and it was a joyful scene.

Although Zhou Yuting has now become a commoner and is married to Li Yuntian as a concubine, it stands to reason that the specifications of the wedding should be low-key.

However, under the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and Qianyi, the important ministers of the court, all came to the Li Mansion to drink the wedding wine, and the guests filled the Li Mansion to the brim, the scene was grand and magnificent, and the excitement was extraordinary, and those who didn't know thought that Li Yuntian was married to the wife.

The so-called red top white, tending to be inflammatory, those officials in the officialdom in the capital are well versed in this, and now Li Yuntian is receiving the emperor's grace, and his career is limitless, and everyone naturally wants to compete for the tie-up and envelope.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xuande did not come in person, they let the inner servants send a reward, and Empress Dowager Zhang rewarded a pair of priceless jade Ruyi, implying that Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting had all the best after marriage, and Emperor Xuande inscribed a picture of "a hundred years of good harmony", which was hung by Li Yuntian on the main hall, which attracted a burst of envy and jealousy from the officials present.

Because he was not marrying a wife, Li Yuntian did not wear a red groom dress, but used a handsome military dress to toast the VIPs with a wine glass and a smile.

Zhu Yuxin wore a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and she was given marriage by the grace of the Empress Dowager Zhang, so the etiquette enjoyed when she got married was the same as that of the main room.

Since he was going to go on the expedition tomorrow, Li Yuntian drank a few glasses of the tribute wine rewarded by Emperor Xuande and then used water instead of wine to salute everyone, otherwise he would definitely be drunk by those guests.

Naturally, the guests knew why, so no one cared about it.

The wedding scene was lively and festive, which lasted until late at night, and Li Yuntian personally sent those important guests to the door of the Li Mansion to show respect.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuntian, who was sleeping with Zhu Yuxin in his arms, was woken up by the maid outside the door softly, Emperor Xuande was going to see off the soldiers in the Jingshi Lecture Hall in the morning, and he naturally couldn't delay such an important event.

Glancing at Zhu Yuxin, who was sleeping sweetly in her arms, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and then got up cautiously and went to the next room to wash.

Last night, the two whispered and turned clouds and rain, and they didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, Li Yuntian knew that Zhu Yuxin was very tired, so he didn't want to disturb her good dreams, so he didn't wake her up.

When Li Yuntian rushed to the Jingshi Lecture Hall, the flags were waved on the colonel's field, and the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army who went out to fight Jiaozhi neatly gathered on the school field to chat, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Xuande with great interest.

Wang Jian and Liang Shaojie had already come to the lecture hall in advance, and were talking with Li Daniu about the upcoming expedition in the conference hall of the lecture hall, and there were several sturdy young men wearing the uniforms of the military attachés of the third grade.

"General!" Seeing Li Yuntian enter the door, the people in the room got up one after another and bowed to him.

"The military uniform of the Xiaowu Army is different from that of the Governor's Mansion, in order to facilitate the command, the official has prepared a military uniform for you, and you can change it when you arrive in Tongzhou." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, sat down on the chair at the top of the list, and said in a deep voice to the young military attachés.

"General Xie." Several young military attachés immediately thanked them in unison when they heard this, they were the generals who Li Yuntian ordered to go out with the army this time, and they were all hereditary military attachés, either the hereditary Wei commander of the third rank, or the hereditary Wei commander of the third rank.

It is worth mentioning that except for one person's ancestor who followed Emperor Yongle, the ancestors of the rest were all the founding nobles who followed Emperor Hongwu.

Like Wenchen, there are also different factions among the nobles, the most important thing is to divide the founding nobles and the Jingnan nobles, the founding nobles have been greatly injured after experiencing the two cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, and now the mainstream of the nobles is those who are difficult to administer the nobles.

Li Yuntian knew Emperor Xuande's thoughts, so he deliberately selected the generals who followed him from among the hereditary officers who founded the country, and prepared to promote and support the founding nobles to confront the Jingnan nobles.

"Is Wang Bin here?" After the young military attachés took their seats, Li Yuntian glanced around the scene and couldn't help but look at Li Daniu.

"My lord forgives me, it's too late for the next official." As soon as his words fell, a young man in civilian clothes with a good demeanor walked into the lobby quickly and apologized to Li Yuntian repeatedly.

"You're not late, there's still a quarter of an hour to meet." Li Yuntian saw that the man in civilian clothes was covered with sweat on his forehead, and knew that he had come in a hurry, and there must be some unknown secret in it, so he pointed to the seat on the side and said with a smile.

The man in civilian clothes breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand to everyone present, sat down in the seat on the left, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from now on we will be in the same boat, I hope that you and this official will work together to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion, share the emperor's worries, and seek benefits for the people of the Ming Dynasty." With the arrival of Wang Bin, all the generals who went out to Jiaozhi this time have arrived, Li Yuntian's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice.

"Work together to serve the country with loyalty!" When everyone at the scene heard this, they all bowed their hands to Li Yuntian and said in unison.

"The military system of the Xiaowu Army is different from that of the Governor's Mansion, and this official hopes that everyone can be familiar with it before arriving in Jiaozhi." Seeing this, Li Yuntian nodded with satisfaction and quietly gave the order.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to know the military system of the Xiaowu Army." Wang Jian bowed slightly to Li Yuntian, and accepted it on behalf of Liang Shaojie, Wang Bin and others.

In fact, Wang Jian has already known the military system of the Xiaowu Army, since Li Yuntian established the Xiaowu Army, he has paid close attention, if it is not for the fact that he has a military position in the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, then he will definitely join the Xiaowu Army, in his opinion, the military system of the Xiaowu Army is the future development direction of the Ming Army, and the limitations of the cantonment system will become clearer and clearer over time.

"Wang Yibin, you are a Jinshi, you are knowledgeable, good at strategy, the operations of the Xiaowu Army are all formulated by the General Staff, this officer thinks that the General Staff is quite suitable for you, I don't know if you want to enter it to do things?" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Wang Bin, who was sitting precariously.

"The lord has won the award, the lord is a Hanlin attendant, how dare the lower officials mention the words 'erudite and talented, good at strategy' in front of the adults." Wang Bin hurriedly got up, and said respectfully to Li Yuntian, "Your Excellency knows people well, and your subordinates will definitely do their best to do a good job and live up to your high expectations." ”

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and he pressed his hand to Wang Bin to signal him to sit down, looking forward to Wang Bin in his heart.

Wang Bin is the second rank of the Jiachen Branch in the last years of Yongle, ranking in the middle of the second class, he could have been like Li Yuntian to take the Jishi exam, and entered the yamen of the major ministries in the capital, and has an unlimited career.

It's a pity that a subsequent incident made Wang Bin completely cut off from his official career, that is, he married the daughter of the king of Longqing County in the capital and became the guest of honor of the palace of Longqing County, and since then he has stayed away from his official career.

Not only did Wang Bin's career end because he married the king of Longqing County, but even his relatives were not allowed to take the imperial examination as officials.

This is related to one of the ancestral systems of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the horses and honor guests must be selected from the families of commoners or low-level officials, and the close relatives of the selected people can no longer become officials, even if they are already officials, they must retire home.

According to the record of "Ming Shizong", it was recorded that in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the three law divisions were included in the criminal regulations, which have been followed to this day, and have become regulations. Therefore, the poetry family and the well-dressed family are unwilling to marry the Wang family, but Lujing Baiding pulls the help of the clan relatives and turns to lure. The tired dynasty did not allow the prince to remove the position of Beijing, and it was appropriate to prevent leisure.

It turned out that the reason why this seemingly very strange rule was formulated was to prevent the princes, nobles, and officials from taking advantage of the status of royal in-laws to do evil and endanger the regime.

Although this is a good preventive measure, if a child of a family is elected as a horse or guest of honor, the family cannot be promoted to an official, and the so-called horse guest of honor is nothing more than a false position of a leader.

In this way, the folk families and scholars all regard marrying the royal family as a daunting way, and the princess and the royal family's daughter-in-law's Su zhì are naturally not much better, and many wealthy businessmen's children have no hope of career, so they have the idea of being the emperor's relatives and relatives, and bribe the officials responsible for the marriage of the royal family and the daughter to be the honor guests.

It has been recorded in the "Records of Ming Yingzong": The children of rich families entrust the officiating marriage officials to the marriage and the yin and yang people who discuss the marriage to take refuge together, and they have money to ask for advice or although the characters are depicable, it is also said that the year is suitable for marriage, and the people who have no money to ask for advice are smart and handsome, so they say that the years and lives are difficult to match, so there are many people.

The palaces everywhere choose honor guests to go to Beijing to confer posts, and there are many people who are contemptuous and polite.

Because of the bribery of the officials in charge of marriage, it is really a tragedy that the dignified princess of Daming and the royal family will marry those ugly and stubborn villains in the market, and they have become the biggest victims of the despicable schemes of corrupt officials and ordinary people.

It is worth mentioning that marrying a princess or a daughter of the royal family is not allowed to be an official for those civil officials, and the nobles in the court are not subject to this restriction.

In order to win over those nobles in the court, the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress will select the royal daughters to marry the sons and daughters of the nobles, so that the interests of both parties are more closely linked.

The reason why Zhu Yuxin wanted to give up the identity of the county lord last year is also due to this factor, Li Yuntian is a civil official, if Zhu Yuxin marries him, then Li Yuntian will become the guest of honor of the Fuwang Mansion, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, he will lose the official position of a civil official, which will be a heavy blow to Li Yuntian's career.

It's just that Zhu Yuxin never imagined that Li Yuntian would make great achievements in quelling the rebellion of the Han King, and then be named Zhenwubo by Emperor Xuande.!^!
