Li Xingzhi inspected the military horses in Dengzhou and inspected the training of the land and water army, and in the Fu Wang's Mansion in Luoyang, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and the family members of the palace looked at the holy decree read by Wang Chengen with a hesitant expression.

Chongzhen intended to marry his daughter to Penglai Hou Li Xingzhi, he had already received the news, but he didn't expect that this would be so sudden, Huguang had just eliminated Zhang Xianzhong, and the emperor issued a holy decree to marry his daughter to Li Xingzhi.

Originally, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, was quite satisfied with Chongzhen's intention to give marriage, and even if he was not satisfied, what could he do.

The emperor opened Chrysostom, if he didn't agree, who knew what the little emperor would come up with.

"The prince and go to the flower hall to serve tea, this marriage is not a trivial matter, the widow still needs to discuss with the prince, the palace has prepared a banquet, and the prince is invited to wait."

Fu Wang Zhu Changxun trembled and got up, and took the holy decree in Wang Chengen's hand with a smiling face.

Regarding the seemingly harmless eunuch in front of him, although Zhu Changxun is a relative of the imperial court, he never dares to offend.

The emperor dismissed the factory guard, and the power of the inner court was far less than that of the Apocalypse Dynasty, but this Wang Chengen was the emperor's side, and if he gave himself some eye medicine, it would not be worth it.

When Emperor Wanli was in power, because he favored Wan Guifei alone, he favored Zhu Changxun, the son of Wan Guifei, and even preferred Zhu Changxun to be the crown prince.

According to the inheritance law of Zhu Yuanzhang that year, "there is a grandson, there is no grandson" and "the East Palace does not treat the heir, and the son does not merge the title", Zhu Changluo, as the eldest son of the emperor, is the natural prince.

Therefore, in the Wanli Dynasty, after a protracted dispute over the national capital, in order to establish the prince's proposal, a total of four people were sent to the office, and the rest of the ministerial-level officials were more than 10 people, involving more than 300 central and local officials, of which more than 100 people were dismissed, dismissed, and assigned.

Under the turbulence of the crowd, Emperor Wanli even deliberately did not go to court for 20 years in order to avoid the tongue of the courtiers, and the fierce struggle between the two sides can be seen.

Under the pressure of the courtiers, Emperor Wanli had no choice but to follow the ancestral system and set up his eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince and the third son Zhu Changxun as the blessed king.

Zhu Changxun is not a fool, there has been no family affection since ancient times, his mother Wan Guifei designed Zhu Changluo in every possible way, and the current emperor is not like his brother Zhu Youxiao, who only knows how to work as a carpenter, is notoriously mean and unkind, who knows if he will knife himself as an imperial uncle after pacifying the Liukou.

It's just that he didn't expect this holy decree to come so quickly, and he caught himself off guard.

Originally, Zhu Shuni married Penglaihou and did not disgrace her daughter.

After all, Li Xingzhi has repeatedly made military exploits, with more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and with this son-in-law who can win the Manchurian soldiers, who are known as invincible in the world, his position in the clan is not as stable as Mount Tai.

Satisfaction is satisfaction, that is, there is a little bit of Zhu Changxun depressed, the court said that it was a marriage, but it did not bear the cost of this marriage, that is to say, the court is only responsible for pulling a line, and the rest of the marriage matters are to be handled by the Fu Wangfu itself.

The Fu Wangfu is rich and rivals the country, and the behemoth doesn't care about this bit of silver, but the marriage of the county lord of another vassal king, although it is also paid by the palace, but this county horse has to stay in the palace and raise it by his side, while his daughter has to marry Dengzhou.

According to the system

When the county lord Shuni was in the middle of the year, he was entrusted by his father, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, to select the county horses as the local officials of Luoyang and Kaifeng.

After the officials have selected talents with good character and outstanding knowledge, they should be brought to the Fuwang Mansion and handed over to the eunuchs in the palace for all-round examination

After the eunuch was satisfied with the results of the investigation, he also needed to have the painter draw the face of the selected county horse and hand it over to Zhu Changxun for inspection. After Zhu Changxun saw the portrait and felt liked, he would meet with the selected county horse

During the face-to-face interview, if Zhu Changxun thought it was appropriate to choose a county horse, he would immediately order Dr. Qin Tian to calculate the auspicious day.

The wedding ceremony for the county lord and the county horse is called "Sekichi flower candle".

If it is not fancy, it will be necessary for the local officials to re-select it for the Fuwang Mansion.

Now, in order to win over the local military leaders, the imperial court not only saves all the processes, but also wants to let its daughter marry Li Xingzhi.

"Father, there is nothing wrong with letting my sister marry Dengzhou, now the Central Plains is full of rogues, Li Xingzhi has a heavy army, if we have something to do in Luoyang, he is your son-in-law, and he can always send troops to save him."

Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, looked at Zhu Changxun and frowned, thinking that his father did not agree to this marriage, so he cautiously comforted him.

"What you said is this reason, the father is just thinking about how to deal with this marriage matter, so it is appropriate, after all, we are not Na Yibin, this is marrying a daughter, if it is shabby, wouldn't others want to laugh at our palace."

Although Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, relied on the favor of Emperor Wanli and amassed millions of money, he was not reluctant to spend money.

There is a record in the "Liukou Zhi" that since the army besieged Luoyang, the king recruited dead soldiers with heavy money, came out, entered the thief camp with a spear, and won a lot, but the thief was a little still.

The claim that King Fu was reluctant to spend money on the defenders, leading to the fall of Luoyang, is pure nonsense.

"Father, Li Xingzhi has only been out of town for a few years, and he has raised so many soldiers and horses, the child heard that the Shandong army is in Jinan and Laizhou, and it does not infringe on the people, and there is no money to come, so it is better to use the specifications of the royal family to prepare for the marriage of Shuni, and then ask Your Majesty to use the prince and the elder of the court as the big media for both men and women, as for how much Li Xingzhi has to pay, is our palace still lacking his little silver?"

Zhu Yousong is obviously not the master who only knows how to drink and have fun and disregard the society of the country and the mountains as we know in later generations, but he still has some insight, and he can win over a military general with a large army in his hands for a little silver, which will be beneficial to the Fu Domain.

"Big brother, you mean, we have to take out 200 catties of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 60 horses, 1,000 pieces of silk, and the rest of the gold and jade must also be customized by the royal family, will this be overdue?"

Zhu Youqu, the second son of King Fu, was a little puzzled, and King Fu's mansion was casually respected, but this marriage according to the specifications that his eldest brother said, it was basically the same as the use of the royal lottery.

Zhu Yousong smiled and said: "Second brother didn't hear the holy decree of the prince clearly, didn't Your Majesty canonize the little sister as Princess Kunyi?" Let's do this according to royal etiquette, this is to protect the royal face. ”

"What Song said is reasonable, if we do this badly, wouldn't it be someone laughing at our palace, even Your Majesty's side, and we won't be able to explain it."

Zhu Changxun looked depressed, his daughter, who had been raised to the age of fourteen, was given away like this, and he still had to lick his face and stick it, what is this called?
