Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's worries, Zhu Yunxi picked up a chess piece and held it in his hand.

He thought for a while and said: "Grandpa, it's better to choose from the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is loyal and benevolent, and his son Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is also a loyal and upright person, and there will be no trouble with relatives." ”

What Zhu Yunxi said was naturally Xu Miaojin, Xu Da's third daughter.

She is fifteen years old this year, two years younger than Zhu Yunxi, and her age is just right.

Xu Da also has a young daughter, who is only twelve years old, and is historically married to Zhu Ying, the king of An, as a concubine.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled and suddenly realized.

It turned out that this kid had already made up the idea of Xu Da's family.

I heard that a few years ago, Zhu Yunxi inspected the border passes, and when he came back, he chatted with the girl of the Xu family all the way......

Among all the noble families, Zhu Yuanzhang is the most assured of the Xu family.

Xu Da and his son are both kind-hearted people who know how to advance and retreat.

With the character of Xu Huizu, the current Duke of Wei, he can't be a powerful minister in this life.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "It's up to you!" ”

He knew that this kid wanted to collect the Xu family's political resources.

Xu Da's influence in the army was great, and part of the relationship was obtained by the fourth Zhu Di after his death.

Zhu Yunxi's marriage with the Xu family does not rule out the suspicion of suppressing the fourth child.

"But you have to promise your grandfather that in the future, future generations, whether emperors or vassal kings, will only be allowed to marry wives and concubines from commoners' families, and no ministers will be allowed to appoint!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi hurriedly responded.

He knew that this was an effective means to prevent his relatives, and it was also the concubine selection system that ran through the entire Ming Dynasty.

After Lao Zhu's system, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there was not a single case of concubines interfering in politics, let alone the dictatorship of foreign relatives like the Han Dynasty.

Not only that, but the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty with frequent virtuous queens.

Empress Ma of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Empress Xu of the Yongle Dynasty.

Empress Zhang of the Hong Xi Dynasty.

Queen Qian of the Orthodox Dynasty.

The king and queen of the Wanli Dynasty.

Empress Zhang of the Apocalypse Dynasty.

The Zhou queens of the Chongzhen Dynasty, they are all known for their integrity and deep understanding of righteousness.

From a man's point of view, this policy is great!

You don't need to get married, choose a woman who is beautiful, has a great figure, and is knowledgeable.

Isn't this something you dream of?

Because of this, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the happiest in all dynasties, and there is no one!

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to the candidate of the imperial concubine.

However, the ministers of the court were opposed to this family business.

This incident caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

"King Yan married the eldest daughter of King Zhongshan as Princess Yan, how can the nephew marry the sister of the fourth aunt? Isn't that ridiculous? ”

The biggest opposition was the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, Lian Zining.

He was the same year of Huang Zicheng and the eighteenth year of Hongwu's palace examination.

Huang Zicheng was treated to death by the imperial doctor, and Lian Zining once suspected that there was something greasy in it, so he was angry in his heart and always stood on the front line of questioning.

"That's a mistake!"

Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, retorted: "The imperial grandson and the little lady of the Xu family are childhood sweethearts, and they are not related by blood, how ridiculous is it? ”

Without waiting for Lian Zining to speak, Li Zhigang said again: "In the nineteenth year of Hongwu, Fu Zhong, the eldest son of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, married Princess Shouchun, the ninth princess. ”

"The daughter of Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, married to the prince of Jin as a concubine, is also separated by generations, how can it not be?"

Li Zhigang gave an example to reason with the facts, and mentioned the marriage between the royal family and the nobles.

Fu Youde's son married Princess Shouchun, Zhu Yuanzhang's ninth daughter.

Fu Youde's daughter, but married Zhu Jixi, the son of King Jin, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson.

It's also a generational separation.

Therefore, there is a precedent, and there is no ethical problem.

If you have to hold on to the seniority, wouldn't it be a big mistake to get this marriage in the first place?

Was the emperor wrong, or was the former Ministry of Rites wrong?

Or is it a dereliction of duty on the entire system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

All in all, no one objected back then, and you didn't object when Lian Zining was in the Hanlin Academy.

Now if you oppose the same thing, you are a double standard!

Not only double standards, but also slapping all ministers in the face!

"This ......." Lian Zining was dumbfounded.

He didn't dare to admit it, and if he did, he offended too many people.

Soon, the wedding of the imperial grandson was put on the agenda.

On the third day of October, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, as the chief envoy, and Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the deputy envoy.

The traditional marriage rites of the Han nationality need to go through a total of six kinds of etiquette from the proposal to the completion of the marriage, which is called the "six rites".

That is: Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, welcome.

Nacai means that the man sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage and give gifts to propose.

After receiving the promise, the matchmaker was asked to officially accept the "gift of choice" to the female family, which is probably the meaning of giving a bride price.

After the man's family performs the ceremony, he asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name, date of birth and time, so that the man's family can ask and decide whether to get married or not, and what the good luck is.

To put it simply, it's a day pick.

It is not advisable to be together unless both parties are particularly grammatic, and this is rare.

In addition to asking about the birthday, the matchmaker also has to ask the woman's family situation in order to distinguish the concubine.

Professional matchmakers, but also meet the family, position, property, appearance, health and other aspects.

Gifts must also be brought when asking for names, usually with geese.

With the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, it is not the first time that the two families have married, and they both know each other.

Therefore, the ceremony of picking and asking for names was carried out at the same time, and it was a formality.

There was joy in the family, and Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was very happy and opened the middle door to welcome the messenger.

After asking about the matter, Li Jinglong pulled Xu Huizu aside and said, "I heard that there are people in the DPRK who oppose this family business, why are they against it?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid that the emperor's grandson will marry my Wei Mansion." Xu Huizu sighed.

Then the imperial grandson will eat all the nobles.

Xu Huizu glanced at Li Jinglong unexpectedly: "Jiujiang, you don't know this as a righteous envoy?" It's too unreliable, isn't it? ”

Li Jinglong sneered: "How do I know these things." ”

"By the way, what about your third sister?"

Speaking of Xu Miaojin, Xu Huizu's head was as big as a fight: "What about emotions!" ”

Li Jinglong smiled: "I'm about to become the princess, what kind of emotions are you still having?" ”

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Xu Huizu whispered: "Third sister, she is not very happy to ......"

“？” Li Jinglong's eyes widened.

Inner Courtyard.

Xu Miaojin hugged the pipa in his arms and looked at it from afar.

Ruyu's ten fingers flowed on the pipa strings, and the plucked sounds of one after another were staggered, and a smooth ancient song "Gao Tang Fu" suddenly rose.

A feeling of sorrow came out slowly, like a loose silk, like an unfolded scroll.

The most striking thing about the goddess in "Gao Tang Fu" is her free-spirited and bold pursuit of love.

Bursts of pluck, pure and tactful timbre reveals the strength and vicissitudes of life.

Outside the hospital, Xu Huizu meditated.

Li Jinglong, who was on the side, was very anxious and asked, "Miaojin won't have someone in his heart, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" Xu Huizu reprimanded.

Seeing that he was so sure, Li Jinglong smiled: "There is no best, I'm afraid that your family will be troublesome......."

The two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship was unusual, and they never hid their words.

"Let's go, let's go and comfort Miaojin together."

The concubine named by the imperial grandson can't have problems with her thinking, and Li Jinglong is worried that the happy event of the Xu family will turn into a white thing.

"I heard that the imperial grandson is just looking for someone to live with, and he doesn't really have feelings for me......

Xu Miaojin confided in her eldest brother with red eyes.

She is a woman who yearns for love, and it is difficult for her to accept this kind of political marriage.

“......”

Li Jinglong was a little speechless, women always like to imagine wildly.

Most people's marriages are to live together.

There is a long-lasting relationship, and after a long time after marriage, some will also become family affection.

Li Jinglong didn't know if the imperial grandson had feelings for Xu Miaojin, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

"Miaojin, I know you're sad, don't worry....."

Xu Huizu tried to comfort his sister: "If the imperial grandson is really boring to you, the eldest brother refuses for you!" ”

Li Jinglong looked at him in surprise, and his expression seemed to say: Are you crazy?

Xu Miaojin's expression was stunned: "The eldest brother is good, Miaojin Wunei is incredible, but how can the Son of Heaven Chrysostom change his order day and night, Miaojin is not sensible......."

She looked at Li Jinglong again: "Cao Guogong, I have a letter, please give it to the imperial grandson." ”

She decided to talk to herself.

......

Inside the spring and hall.

Zhu Yunxi was crooked on the bed, and the palace maid carefully fanned it with a brocade fan in her hand.

And the book of the Ministry of Rites standing in the hall truthfully replied, and did not dare to hide half a point.

After a long while, Zhu Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes: "She didn't cry, she just sent a letter?" ”

Li Zhigang looked at Zhu Yunxi's expression and responded carefully: "Exactly." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the letter written by Xu Miaojin.

The envelope reads "Answer to the Emperor's Grandson.......

Zhu Yunxi opened it and saw that it was written: "If the courtiers do not wish, forgive Your Highness may not force the wishes, the courtiers are willing to be idlers outside the world, and do not think about prosperity......"

In just a few words, Xu Miaojin's refusal was expressed.

Zhu Yunxi closed the letter and suddenly seemed to be nothing.

Xu Miaojin's attitude, he had already guessed that a woman who ran to shave her hair in order to give up the queen's position in history would easily obey?

The reason why Zhu Yunxi chose Xu Miaojin lies in three points:

One is because of political needs, to gather the generals of the Nine Sides Yuan Xu Da line.

Second, Xu Miaojin is a talented and good-looking person, just like the so-called fair lady gentleman.

Xu Miaojin was born rich and noble, and he has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he is better than his sister Xu Miaoyun, Princess Yan.

Such an excellent beauty can have ideas for a young man.

Third, Xu Miaojin is not greedy for power, indifferent to fame and fortune, and is an admirable woman.

At least the harem won't be messed up in the future.

Zhu Yunxi asked casually: "King Hui's side, have you set a date?" ”

Seemingly casually asked, Li Zhigang couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately replied: "Yes, early this morning, King Hui's Mansion sent the date selected for His Royal Highness King Hui's wedding. ”

is also the daughter of Guanglu Temple Qing Ma Quan.

"Okay, there you go!" Zhu Yunxi seemed to be tired, leaned back, closed his eyes and stared, and stopped speaking.

People who have never been married may attach great importance and look forward to getting married.

But most of the people who have been married don't want to get married again, and they feel like that, and even feel tired.

Xu Miaojin's handwritten letter, Zhu Yunxi did not reply, which means that the will remains unchanged.

This made Xu Miaojin very sad.

She saw through the darkness behind the power.

Xu Miaojin's second sister, Princess Xu Miaoqing, had postpartum depression, and the two sisters exchanged letters.

The princess often complained to her sister, saying that the king liked the new and hated the old, and men were unreliable.

The tragedy of the second sister made Xu Miaojin see the reality clearly and was even more afraid of marriage.

It happened that recently, Zhu Gaochi, the son of Yan Shizi, entered Beijing, Xu Miaojin found him and said: "The imperial grandson wants to accept me as a concubine, but I don't want to, ask my nephew to help me!" ”

She knew that Zhu Gaochi had a very good personal relationship with the imperial grandson.

Therefore, the resourceful nephew naturally became Xu Miaojin's "Zhiduoxing".

Zhu Gaochi looked at his third aunt, who was a few years younger than him, and smiled bitterly.

He shook his head and said: "The imperial grandson's temperament is stubborn, and the decisions he makes will not repent easily, this matter is difficult to do!" ”

Imperial grandson, my aunt doesn't want to marry you!

Even if he gave Zhu Gaochi a few dares, he didn't dare to say such things in front of Zhu Yunxi.

In fact, his visit to Beijing this time is inseparable from this time.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, opposes this family business!

He saw the purpose of the East Palace.

And also.

I am dignified Zhu Di, and I have become a brother-in-law with my nephew, where will I put this face?

Therefore, Zhu Di was very unhappy, and sent the prince to explore the wind, and if he could break it up, he would break it up.

Not only Zhu Di was against it, but Zhu Li, the king of Jin, was also against this family business.

They are all against it behind their backs, and they don't dare on the surface.

"But it's not impossible, it depends on whether my aunt can persevere."

Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of a bad idea.

But he didn't dare to say.

On this day, Zhu Yunxi summoned Zhu Gaochi into the palace to talk.

During this period, Zhu Gaochi verbally hinted that Xu Miaojin had plans to escape into the empty door.

Zhu Yunxi's face was unhappy after hearing this.

If it's true, how embarrassing is it to spread it?

Xu Miaojin is the daughter of Xu Da, the founder of the country, and she cannot be strong.

I must take her without any suspense!

Zhu Yunxi chose to come to the door in person.

......

"The emperor's grandson, the sister she ......."

Wei State Mansion, Xu Huizu was sincerely afraid.

Zhu Yunxi ignored him and personally knocked on Xu Miaojin's door.

She was much taller than before, and she stood out and out.

"What's wrong with your face?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.

I saw that Xu Miaojin was wrapped in a veil on her face, and the skin covered by the veil was gray and very ugly.

The accompanying palace maid exclaimed in surprise with just one glance, and did not dare to look at it again.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head, and tears seemed to flow out of her eyes: "Your Highness, the courtiers are terminally ill and their appearance is ruined, and the master said that they must take refuge in Buddhism to save their lives, so that the courtiers will not be able to serve the palace......"

Seeing her sad face, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "What is this?" No matter whether it is beautiful or ugly, the person who is alone will not change! ”

Xu Huizu on the side rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that these two young people really know how to do it!

"Seriously?" Xu Miaojin said in surprise.

She didn't expect that the imperial grandson would say such a thing back.

She was shaken.

originally planned to shave his hair and escape into the empty door, which shows the performance of the imperial grandson.

In this way, Xu Miaojin still has some small expectations.

Such a man deserves to be my man!

"But...... You will be the Ninety-Five in the future, will you allow a disfigured person to become the mother of the world? ”

Xu Miaojin asked boldly, but her voice became a little trembling.

The little girl's mind is really simple.

Zhu Yunxi said seriously: "The dog is not poor, the son is not ugly, if you become the mother of the country, you don't have to worry about the eyes of the world." ”

The words are loud and sound, and they don't betray people at all.

When Xu Miaojin, the love brain, heard these words, the whole person was in good spirits.

She seemed to see a light shining on the imperial grandson.

Slowly removing the veil and removing the smear on his face, a soft-spoken apology followed.

Looking at the girl from the small family of jasper, Zhu Yunxi felt that she had returned to her student days.

Let's adopt it first and raise it for a few years......

October 19, 28th year of Hongwu.

Under the control of Zhu Yuanzhang, the process of canonizing the imperial concubine was extremely grand.

It is still Cao Guogong Li Jinglong as the chief envoy, Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhan Shijie Jin of the Zhan Shifu as the deputy envoy.

The wedding mission led the honor guard Dale and the dragon pavilion with the treasure of the imperial grandson and concubine, as well as the civil and military officials, and then went to the Wei State Mansion to issue a book to welcome the ceremony.

On November 16, the grand wedding ceremony of the imperial grandson began.

In the prostration of civil and military officials and internal and external women, fifteen-year-old Xu Miaojin wore a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, and wore a red large-sleeved shirt, a red Luo long skirt, and a red gown.

She was welcomed into the palace in a piece of Xuantian drum music and became the princess.

East Palace Spring and Hall.

The big red wedding dress, the big red dragon and phoenix candle.

The room is full of red.

Since then, the seventeen-year-old imperial grandson has a wife, and he has become an adult.

He is no longer standing alone on the temple of the supreme beings in the world to meet the gaze of all people.

And a lingering and bleak love in the ancient Chinese court also opened in this splendid palace.

.......

As I said before, this book doesn't write about feelings, it's all brushed aside.

This chapter is purely a simple restoration of Xu Miaojin's refusal to marry in history, I feel like a love brain, and my personality is somewhat similar to my wife's, which is difficult.......

Some people died, but not completely......
