Chapter 323 Choosing a Son-in-law Banquet

After returning to the palace, Liu Zhi rested for a few days, and spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with the people.

On this day, Meng Jian of the Academy of Sciences came to ask for a meeting, saying that the second-generation generator had already had an eyebrow, and asked him to go and watch.

This surprised him that the first generation of generators did not take much time because of the drawings he provided.

However, the problems to be solved by the second generation involve physical problems that have not yet been overcome in this era, so Liu Zhi's psychological expectations will be at least one or two years long.

Even if it's five or six years, it's within the normal range.

But how long has it been now, this is too fast, is this Meng Jian a physical genius who is not born in the world?

With this question, Liu Zhi came to the Academy of Sciences, the new generator was not actually manufactured, and it was still in the drawing design stage.

Of course, as long as the correct drawings come out, manufacturing is much easier.

Meng Jian carefully explained to him some of the key problems in the drawings, and compared with the first generation, it is indeed a lot stronger in details.

But he always felt that if this second-generation product was copied according to the drawings, there should still be a big problem.

Over the years, Liu Zhi has personally participated in a variety of mechanical production, and after more than ten years of experience, the level has been significantly improved.

A group of people studied the new drawings for a while, and Liu Zhi put forward some conceptual ideas.

"Study the matter of the generator, you don't have to be in a hurry, take your time, and you can't reach it quickly. I didn't set a time limit for you. ”

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, he went to the Agricultural College and the Medical College next door to make a round.

Today's state system is relatively perfect, and there is no threat of a strong foreign enemy, although the country is not very rich, but everything is on the right track.

It's only a matter of time before he gets stronger, which is why he doesn't pay much attention to politics now.

On the contrary, he was more concerned about the development of science and technology, and last year Deng Yan brought back all kinds of grain seeds from South America, some of which were planted that year.

After all, the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, and the people below naturally did not dare to slack off.

In addition to the experimental base in the south, near Luoyang, Liu Zhi specially set aside a hot spring village to conduct experiments for people from the Agricultural College.

For example, the first potato planting has been harvested, and after selection and crossbreeding, the second batch has already been planted, and now it is growing well.

After years of exploration, the College of Agriculture has a wealth of experience, especially in the field of vegetables, hybridization is relatively easy, and the results are relatively fast.

I believe that by the next year, the general vegetable seeds will be able to be promoted, and the types of grains and vegetables and fruits of the Han Dynasty will be greatly enriched.

As for the medical school, to be honest, the speed of development has long exceeded Liu Zhi's expectations.

Now he has long lost his say in the achievements of medical school, after all, he is not studying medicine, and the medical knowledge of ordinary people in modern times has long been consumed.

Of course, this result also made him very gratified, the average life expectancy of the Han people is still too short, and the infant mortality rate is extremely high.

It is very negative for population development and for the long-term indicators of the country.

Although cutting-edge medical research is developing rapidly, it takes too long to train a good doctor.

Therefore, for so many years, except for Beijing and some prosperous prefectures and counties, most places still lack medical conditions, and there is a serious shortage of qualified doctors.

Over the years, Liu Zhi has focused on improving the social status of doctors, and now doctors have long since shed the image of the former sorcerer and become a respected profession.

In recent years, many of the poor scholars who felt that their careers were hopeless have turned their attention to studying medicine, resulting in overcrowding in medical schools.

Under these circumstances, Liu Zhi allocated funds to add a large medical school in Yangzhou, Nanyang and Jingzhou.

In the next ten years, he will be able to alleviate the current serious shortage of doctors, and then he can consider establishing a sound national medical system.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and so far, this condition is not in place.

But I have to say that the royal medical care has been guaranteed, and none of Liu Zhi's children have died, which is proof.

After all, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty did not give birth to a son, basically because he failed to support him, and there is a strange phenomenon in the laws of nature, that is, the mortality rate of male babies is much higher than that of female babies.

In history, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had no children, also for the same reason.

That's why Liu Zhi learned a lesson, and even before he was in power, he began to pay attention to the development of medicine.

Liu Zhi did a full body examination in the medical school, and now there are stethoscopes and simple blood pressure monitors, plus pulse checks, many diseases can be checked.

He usually pays great attention to health and insists on exercising every day, so he is in good health.

According to the words of Dean Dou Yun, he can live to be at least ninety years old.

Whether he is exaggerating or not, at least it shows that his body is indeed healthy, and if nothing else, longevity is no problem.

Being an emperor is such a pleasant thing, who doesn't want to live a few more years.

I am glad that I come from the future, and I know that it is better to pursue an illusory way of eternal life than to seek a healthy life for a few more years.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Queen Deng Meng seems to be more enthusiastic than before, and she greets Liu Zhishu, and the two are newlywed, which is also a unique mood.

Unknowingly, at the end of the year, seeing that the eldest princess of Anyang will be seventeen years old after the New Year, Liu Zhi is not in a hurry, but Deng Meng is not.

On the evening of this day, the two went to Yong'an Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for dinner, and during the banquet, Deng Meng mentioned his daughter's marriage.

"Anyang is not small, shouldn't you arrange it for her seriously."

It is not a simple matter for the emperor to marry a daughter, there are many etiquettes, even if there is a definite goal, from the beginning of the decision to the big wedding, it will take a year and a half to two years to go through the whole procedure.

But the key is that she hasn't written a word yet, so she will be at least twenty years old when she gets married.

Even if Liu Zhi advocates late marriage now, twenty years old is considered an old age.

As soon as she mentioned this, the Empress Dowager Yun also attached great importance to it, "Hua'er is not small, this matter cannot be delayed any longer." ”

Anyway, it's still early to get married, so Liu Zhi has no objection, "Then it's hard for my mother to do it for her." ”

Handed over Liu Hua's marriage to the Empress Dowager Yun, firstly, it was more reassuring, and secondly, it also gave her mother something to do, so as not to make her lose her spirits.

Since Mrs. Ma's death, her two sons have had accidents one after another, one was degraded and the other committed suicide.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager Yun was overly sad, fell seriously ill, and her health deteriorated, which was much worse than in the past.

Although medicine is much more advanced now than it was back then, there is nothing there can be done about people like her.

The best thing to do is to keep her busy, and after a long time, she will naturally forget about it.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Yun was very happy to hear this, and immediately began to discuss with the couple after the meal.

"Why don't I let out the wind recently, see which families are interested in getting married, and then select a group of young talents, hold a banquet, and let Anyang see each other for himself, how about it?"

This method is good, Liu Zhi and Deng Meng have no opinion, they both love their children and don't want to forcibly add her a marriage.

So in the first month of the ninth year of Jianning, the news that the chief prince of Anyang was going to choose a son-in-law spread widely.

Most of the princesses in the Eastern Han Dynasty were named county princesses, and they were dressed in the same honor.

And among them, the honorable one, the eldest princess, and the king of Tongfan.

Liu Hua, the eldest princess of Anyang, is such a princess with a high status, and everyone knows that she is very favored by His Majesty.

During the Western Han Dynasty, most of the marriages of princesses were linked to politics and became one of the effective weapons of the emperor to win over his courtiers.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the same was true of Emperor Guangwu's five daughters, and in the end, four of the sons-in-law were involved in the rebellion case and were killed by the emperor.

By the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, the country's politics were stable, and after his eleven daughters were married to meritorious servants, all his sons-in-law also got a good death.

Since then, the royal princesses have basically married with different surnames, Emperor Shun of Han died early, and several daughters were married by Liu Zhi, and they were not treated badly.

His own two younger sisters are all the queen mothers, and now they are all living happily.

Now that the Han Dynasty is strong and strong, it has long been politically stable, and there is no need to worry about getting involved in the struggle, so there are many families who are interested in marrying the princess.

In addition to Liu Hua, Princess Wuyang has also been married, so naturally they want to watch it together.

Of course, it is also some big families who are tempted, and for a while, many people sent their wives to show their mouths in front of the Queen Mother.

Deng Meng is naturally very concerned about his daughter's marriage, and he is busy collecting information with the Queen Mother, and analyzing and screening them one by one.

Of course, they don't have to think about what is right for them, what they value is the character and character of the other party.

Especially knowing that his daughter has a temperament, he wants to find a son-in-law with a gentle temper.

As for Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve, the Queen Mother also tried her best to choose for her, unlike Liu Hua, she was originally quiet, so the Queen Mother thought of finding her a more lively personality.

lest the two of them be lifeless together in the future and have nothing to say.

In this way, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, in March, the palace sent out an invitation letter and invited more than 100 young talents to hold a spring banquet in Hong Lim Garden.

The people who received the invitation letter were undoubtedly unmarried, and the number of candidates screened by the Queen Mother and the Queen was only more than 30 people.

But it would be too ugly at the banquet, so he invited all the young people with a better reputation in the capital to fill the scene.

Liu Hua himself already knew about this, and he didn't have anything to do with this huge husband selection banquet, but accepted it generously.

Princess Wuyang is introverted and shy when she hears the news, but in the end, she is a royal princess, and she is used to seeing big scenes, and she will not show her childish spirit at the banquet when the time comes.

March 16, spring is bright.

The flowers in Hong Lim Garden, this is called spring appreciation, but it is actually a banquet for the royal family to choose a son-in-law, and everyone knows it.

The little gentlemen sent to participate were all handsome and extraordinary, and some of them already admired the talents of the two princesses.

Of course, there are also some people who are appointed by the family, and they either don't care or are not so willing.

After all, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has not been a high-ranking and powerful royal son-in-law, and he is basically an ordinary official for life.

It has become a tradition for more than 100 years, which makes those young talents who are arrogant and want to make a difference in the imperial court avoid it.

Therefore, most of the people here are mediocre people in the family, and it is difficult to get ahead in this life anyway.

It's better to marry the royal family, maybe it can have an extra layer of protection.

The banquet took place in the garden, on the lawn in front of the gazebo.

According to the rules, there are also talent shows in the middle of the way, such as making poems, writing essays, drawing, playing the piano or dancing the sword......

The rest of the time, they can move on their own and there are no strict restrictions.

The young prince Liu Wei, as a representative, was responsible for entertaining them, he was the same age as Liu Sleeve, and he was also sixteen years old this year.

At this age, many important banquets began to be attended frequently, and he had already moved out of Concubine De's Palace, and Liu Zhi gave him another palace to live in in the South Palace.

Recently, in addition to listening to the lectures of the crown prince, he often went to the Hanlin Academy to ask for advice, and his personality was clever and knowledgeable, and he was praised by many scholars.

However, until now, the emperor has not shown any preference for any prince, and the eldest son Liu Wei has not had any title so far.

The atmosphere of the banquet was a little strange, and some people were enthusiastic and took the initiative to show their talents, hoping to get the favor of the two princesses.

Others, on the other hand, are extremely perfunctory and do not seem to want to be chosen.

There are also some people who have the meaning of casual fate, which is neither positive nor perfunctory.

Liu Hua and Liu Sleeve did not directly participate in the banquet, even if they were royal princesses, it was impossible to pick and choose in front of so many people.

Originally, according to the queen mother's intention, she asked them to hide in the dark to observe, but Liu Hua has always been bold, pulling Liu Sleeve and letting her dress up as a palace maid, while she disguised herself as a man and pretended to be a chamberlain.

The two came to the banquet site and watched it up close.

At first, Liu Sleeve was a little unable to let go, but when he was on the scene and watched the lively talent show, he soon forgot the little embarrassment in his heart.

Liu Hua and the two of them hid in the corner, and then the trees were blocked, and they whispered from time to time.

It's just that there are too many people on the scene, and it is difficult to find the right person in a short period of time.

After the talent show stage, when it was time to move freely, the two of them shuttled through the garden.

After all, at the banquet just now, everyone's performance was very restrained, and their personalities seemed to be similar, and it was difficult to be particularly outstanding.

On the contrary, this kind of free activity time, you can inadvertently see a bit of true temperament.

In order to hide people's eyes, Liu Hua held a pot of wine in his hand, and Liu Sleeve served some fruit snacks on a plate.

The little gentlemen walked in groups in the garden and chatted, of course they knew that at the banquet just now, the princess was watching in the dark.

At this time, there are at most a few royal chamberlains observing them, as long as they don't do anything particularly out of the ordinary, it basically won't affect the princess's judgment.

That is to say, according to custom, their main task has been completed, and as for the result, only the princess knows in her heart.
