Chapter 260: Candidates for the Big Wedding
Nishinomiya.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi are playing against each other, and the grandparents and grandchildren are chatting about family life.
"When you reach the age of marriage, it's time to find a princess for yourself."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, with no sadness or joy on his face.
It has been three years since the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, and the period of filial piety of the imperial grandson has passed, so it is time to marry a wife and have children.
Zhu Yunxi is seventeen years old, and Huiwang Zhu Yunxi is eighteen years old.
The age of these two brothers really belongs to the older leftover men.
This year, they will say that they will get married!
This is the tone set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Well, the candidate for the concubine, grandpa, you look at the arrangement, and the grandson is at will."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and did not resist in the slightest.
A few days earlier, Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, mentioned this matter and asked him to prepare early.
For example, if you have any favorite woman, you will find out first, and the Ministry of Rites will arrange it to ensure that Zhu Yunxi can marry the girl she likes.
Li Zhigang even patted his chest and packed the ticket, saying that as long as it is in the territory of Daming, he can do it!
To his surprise, Zhu Yunxi didn't choose anyone, but just said: "You can arrange this matter at will, as long as it meets the standards of the princess." ”
It seems that there is no standard, but in fact, the standard of "meeting the standard of the princess" is too big!
Concubine Taisun, the future is the queen, the mother of the country!
Who can be the mother of the nation?
First of all, pretty!
Secondly, he is mild-mannered, knowledgeable, wise and virtuous.
To marry a wife, it is enough to meet these rules.
Zhu Yunxi's psychological age is no longer young, and he no longer chases after any so-called love.
He was so busy all day that he didn't have time to think about it.
When the emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards are the basic exercises.
As long as the future queen is not a jealous woman, she can take care of the harem.
Of course, it is better to have wisdom and be able to educate the prince well.
Zhu Yunxi's casualness surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Are you sure you won't pick the candidate for the princess?"
Zhu Yuanzhang is a free lover, who was a personal soldier by Guo Zixing's side, and occasionally met Ma Xiuying, which had a great impression.
Guo Zixing also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was a talent and wanted to tie him up, so he married his righteous daughter Ma Xiuying to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two of them were successful.
This achievement made the ancestral tomb of the Guo family smoke, and the original small warlord of Haozhou City became the king of Chuyang in the Ming Dynasty.
became the father-in-law and father-in-law of the founding emperor, his goddaughter was the queen, his own daughter was a concubine, and his two grandsons were princes, and he was posthumously crowned king......
Guo Zixing never imagined in his life that the dream he was fighting for would be easily realized after his death.
Just because of a family business!
Many people think that Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Guo Zixing's power to achieve the great cause of the emperor.
In fact, Guo Zixing was just a small warlord in Haozhou City, with thousands of men under him.
There are several small warlords like him in Haozhou City, Sun Deya, Yu, Lu, and Pan, each of whom is called a marshal.
A group of rough people, with little insight and foresight, like a den of bandits.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang took 24 brothers (later known as the 24 generals of Huaixi) and went out to work alone for a few months, and he pulled up 20,000 or 30,000 horses.
If there was no Zhu Yuanzhang, who would know Guo Zixing?
"The selection of the princess is all arranged by grandpa." Zhu Yunxi still said so.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "You are a sensible child, unlike Yun Wei, the child is becoming more and more formless." ”
Zhu Yunwen?
Zhu Yunxi asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with the second child?" ”
"He fell in love with a woman surnamed Ma, the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan, and said that he would not marry her."
mentioned this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood turned cloudy.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen's fancy to the Ma family has no kinship with Queen Ma, just the same surname.
However, this Ma Quan is a person who manages the group.
After Zhu Yunxi's several moves, most of the six Jiuqing and Xiao Jiuqing were replaced, and Ma Quan was one of the few chief officials who were not replaced.
He was able to survive in the center of several storms, more or less something.
Zhu Yunwen also took a fancy to this, and wanted to wear a pair of pants with civil officials.
His careful thinking Zhu Yunxi understands, and Zhu Yuanzhang also understands.
"Yun Wei, this kid, has been honest and honest since he was a child, and he doesn't know who he has learned from in recent years, and he likes to be clever, you don't have to blame him."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi and wanted him to give a promise.
Once the two grandchildren competed for the position of crown prince, they fought many times openly and secretly.
This kind of relationship between political enemies will often settle accounts after the autumn as one side wins.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that with the character of Taisun, after his death, Zhu Yunwen would inevitably be liquidated by him.
After all, he is his own grandson, and before Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yunwen served by his side day and night.
With this filial piety alone, Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to ensure that he has no worries for the rest of his life.
"My grandson understands."
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "As long as he does something that goes against the decision of his ancestors, his grandson will not touch him." ”
"With your words, I can rest assured."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and talked about the previous topic again.
"What I mean is that the draft will be held all over the country, and those with dignified appearance and gentle temperament will be selected from thousands of women from good families, and canonized as the imperial concubine, what do you think?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded frequently, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and he smiled without saying a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has read countless people, couldn't help but wonder: "Do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
Zhu Yunxi blinked and replied: "Grandson thinks that such a large selection of concubines seems to be a bit of a waste of money and labor, it is better to choose a woman of the right age from among the nobles, what do you think, grandpa?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head slightly, looking at the game of chess on the table, and finally there was a cold light: "I'm just afraid that I will have a foreign relative's power to rise." ”
The nobles of the court are all the founding heroes.
They have been wealthy all their lives, and most of the families have already married the royal family.
If there is another queen of the middle palace, I am afraid that I will soon become big in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that when he was alive, he could still suppress all the nobles.
But after death.
The imperial grandson may be able to suppress Xungui, but what about his son?
What if it's a soft egg?
In history, my mother was the queen and my grandfather was a nobleman, so did I not have many cases of usurping the throne after becoming a powerful minister?
Zhu Yuanzhang's precautions against foreign relatives have always been cautious and tough.
Don't give any chance to your relatives at all!
Let's just say that Zhu Yunxi's mother, the crown princess, is in the Chang family.
Don't look at the current scenery of the Chang family, there is a princess and two princesses.
Chang Yuchun has two sons, one is the second son Chang Sheng, the founding duke, and now he is with Zhu Yunxi, and the scenery is infinite.
But the eldest son Chang Mao, the former Duke of Zheng Guo, was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang in the twentieth year of Hongwu and died outside.
Blatant suppression.
The Lan Yu family of Liangguo Gong was also executed.
There is also the Xinguo Gong Tang and the family, and the daughter Lu Wangfu was given to die.
If it weren't for Zhu Yunxi's protection, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, would have been suppressed one by one.
They are all married to the royal family and belong to foreign relatives.
Since ancient times, the disasters of relatives have been endless.
