Last time, after the news of Emperor Chongzhen's big wedding came out, those who were once "vassal states" and "tributary states" in the Ming Dynasty in the "Kunyu Wanguo" sent people to congratulate them.

"The foreign minister is the special envoy of the 'Khan King' of the 'Timurid Empire', and he was ordered to pay tribute to the Western Regions 'Khan Blood Horse' 200 horses, and congratulate the 'Ming Emperor' of the 'Heavenly Empire' on his good deeds, long live the thousand autumns!" Before the grand wedding was about to be held, I finally received a decent "gift", after all, the "sweat and blood BMW" is not blown!

"The foreign minister is an envoy of Zanzibar, and on the order of the king, he presented twenty giant bird eggs (ostrich eggs), as well as a pair of zebras and giraffes, to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on his ...... of eternal happiness", "The envoy of Kurumus, on the order of the caliphate, presented to His Majesty the Emperor a hundred Persian dancers and one hundred opals!" ”

"On the order of the king, the Siamese envoy presented two white elephants and ......ten ladyboys to His Majesty the Ming Emperor", "The envoy of Sulu presented 100 beautiful Filipino maids......", "The lord of the Ryukyus presented ten pairs of 'luminous cups', wishing the Ming Emperor a long life!" "The king of Joseon presented Mi-hee's 'Silla maid' to 100 people to congratulate ......"

In this way, in the days before Emperor Chongzhen's wedding, the Ming Dynasty frequently received "generous gifts" from various "vassal states" and "tributary states", and Xu Guangqi, the "secretary of the Ministry of Rites", was responsible for receiving and thanking foreign friends, and at the same time registered all the gifts in the book, checked the value, and paid each other twice after the ceremony.

However, just when the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the bureaucrats from the central to the local government were talking about it, European countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy also sent diplomatic envoys and contributed their own "things".

With the assistance of famous Western missionaries such as "Matteo Ricci", "Francis" ("Xavier"), "Luo Mingjian", "John Tang", "Long Huamin", "Deng Yuhan" and other famous Western missionaries, the envoys from Western countries to China were properly arranged, and when they received the "Western square things" sent by them, they also obtained the "secret of the golden flower" in different languages - "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose". In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed, and personally met with the Western diplomatic history group, and used "his heart" to find out.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao, as the elder brother, also brought his three junior sisters to the scene to watch the ceremony, after all, "the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", and Zhu Youxiao's wives and concubines (princesses) were integrated into the body because of their double cultivation of "Yin and Yang Rotation and Creation Gong", so they can only grieve the three "Taoist sisters".

In the process of receiving the Western missions, Zhu Youxiao and his three junior sisters habitually released their powerful spiritual power, and through the "Seventy-two Techniques of the Left Path" of the "Side Door", they saw through those "parchment books", and successfully deciphered the foreign code characters after a little operation of the "through" and "through the mysteries" method.

As a result, Roma mastered English, German, Russian, Dutch, Greek, Latin (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, etc.) in an instant

s), it is also easy to eavesdrop on the whispers of Western envoys to each other, so as to judge each other's purposes.

Fortunately, these Westerners are just the most ordinary low-level missionaries, so they have not been granted the "Divine Seal" by the "Pope", so their spiritual power is not strong enough, and they can't sense that Emperor Chongzhen is secretly casting spells on them, and they don't have a magic weapon on them that specializes in absorbing and storing the power of faith, so they are entertained.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not deliberately discriminate, after all, everyone who came was a guest, so it was enough to let the "Ministry of Rites" carry out the corresponding level of etiquette of the "tributary state", which was nothing more than spending double the price to buy the goods of the "foreign merchants", or after soliciting the opinions of the "foreign merchants", they exchanged a large number of Chinese goods for their needs.

Next, it's time for the wedding ceremony. On the tower of the "Tiananmen" outside the gate of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen, his nine concubines, and the ministers of the Chinese military forces of the DPRK were watching with great interest, watching the envoys from the "vassal states" and "tributary states" of the "Kunyu Wanguo" line up to attend, and wrote the amount of silver converted into the "square things" they contributed by them, wrote them in cinnabar pen and ink on sheets of white rice paper, and pasted them on the "human-shaped targets" made of wooden boards.

This is "congratulatory gift money", so that the "bureaucratic class" of the "Heavenly Empire" has the opportunity to be self-absorbed after watching it, but they don't know that the imperial court has paid double for it, which has become a "big wrong"! However, at this time, the "Chongzhen Dynasty" is the least bad for money, so it encourages "foreign businessmen" to spend heavily in China, because these money are all "barite" illusions by spells, and the validity period is up to ten years, but it can stimulate market demand through "Wanfang Dynasty" to stimulate economic development.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this was because he had all the memories of "Nobel" in his head, and naturally understood that China's traditional self-sufficient "small peasant economy" could not compete with "commercial capitalism" at all! Therefore, he wanted the people who had been able to achieve food and clothing with the help of the "New Deal of the Imperial Court" in the past three years to sell their surplus grain, linen, livestock, and various handicrafts to the market for money, so as to balance prices and avoid inflation!

Because the "New Deal" of the Chongzhen Dynasty dared to break the various rules and regulations formulated by the "Emperor Taizu Gao" to "restrain human nature", and ingeniously resorted to the means of "money is omnipotent" to forcibly buy back land from interest groups such as "official eunuchs", "squires and wealthy families", and "landlords and heroes" to distribute land to the people at the bottom as "official land" for cultivation, and at the same time, the "taxes" were greatly reduced, which not only settled a large number of hooligans and stabilized social order, but also enabled the people to become well-off after they were lifted out of poverty.

So, catching up with the "business opportunity" brought by this wave of "emperor's wedding", those foreign businessmen who flocked to the Ming Dynasty were infected by the high enthusiasm of the people in the Ming Dynasty for buying and selling, so they bought and bought after the ceremony, anyway, they had "money"! However, among these missions, the most curious were the Western countries, because they saw the "steamer machine car" and the "hot wheel machine ship".

These Westerners spent money to get on the car or board the ship, and after experiencing this incredible vehicle in person, they were all amazed, hoping that the Ming Dynasty government would sell some "samples" for them to take back for study so that they could imitate it. But after Emperor Chongzhen learned of this, he made a plan and asked his brother to use a doppelganger spell to make cars and ships on the spot in front of thousands of envoys, so as to peak the three views of foreigners, make them bow and worship, and doubt their beliefs.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to introduce Chinese culture, because in the eyes of the ancient Chinese, there were four joys in life: "a long drought and a sweet rain", "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land", "candle night in the cave room", and "when the title of the gold list". However, the Ming and Qing emperors who lived in the Forbidden City did not need the title of the gold list, nor did they go to a foreign land.

However, the emperors also have to experience the "candle night in the cave room" in their lives, after all, the inheritance of marriage reflects "filial piety" and "filial piety comes first".

Although the marriage ceremony of ordinary people is only festive, the emperors who dominate the world must go through some special processes when they get married.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the "Book of Rites", which evolved from the rites of the Zhou Dynasty, determined six kinds of etiquette in the process from "marriage proposal" to "completion of marriage", namely "Nacai", "Asking for a name", "Naji", "Nazheng", "Invitation" and "Greeting". This must require "parents' orders" and "matchmakers' words" to be effective.

The so-called "Nacai" is that the man's family invites the matchmaker (matchmaker) to go to the woman's house to propose. If the woman's family agrees to the marriage, the man's family must prepare a gift to propose. "Asking for a name" means that the man's family asks the matchmaker (matchmaker) to ask the woman's name and date of birth, so as to measure whether the union between the man and the woman is appropriate;

"Najib" is the man's family after the auspicious omen (turning the yellow calendar to calculate the eight characters of the birthday), the preparation of the gift to notify the woman's family and decide to conclude a marriage; "Recruitment" means that the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift; "Invitation period" means that the man's family chooses the marriage date and informs the woman's family of the reserve gift, asking for her consent; "Welcome" means that the groom goes to the woman's house to marry.

However, the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, "Ming Yingzong" Zhu Qizhen, did not abide by the marriage rules set by the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, because the Empress Dowager Zhang is the grandmother of the "Emperor Laozi", and the "orthodox emperor" at this time is not much more, his grandfather Zhu Gaochi and father Zhu Zhanji died early, but he was born to a palace maid, but he was snatched by the "Queen Mother" who did not give birth to be his "son". As a result, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother controlled the government.

After careful consideration, the "Imperial Grandmother" and the "Imperial Mother" reached an agreement to make their respective maiden girls their concubines, so the eldest daughter of Qian Yunming, the "Ministry of Industry", was the queen, and the "Ministry of Rites" and "Hanlin Academy" had no arms but thighs, so they had to agree. Subsequently, the "Hanlin Academy" was responsible for drafting documents, the "Ministry of Rites" was responsible for making books and making treasures, and together with the "Celebrant Supervisor" and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, various supplies were prepared, and the "Qin Tianjian" calculated the auspicious days of good days in order to "perform the six rites".

On the day of "Nacai" and "Asking for Names", the young emperor Zhu Qizhen dressed up and made a grand appearance in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. The propaganda official held the edict in his hand, stood on the east side of the Dan Majesty, announced the edict loudly, appointed the two "angels" of the principal and deputy heads, and went to Qian Shangshu's house to "Nacai" and "ask for names". In the sound of music, the two "angels" held "Fengjie" and "Fengzhao" under the leadership of the honor guard and drum band, and rushed to the Qian Mansion. At this time, all the personnel of the Qian Mansion were already waiting at the gate.

After accepting the gifts, they presented the "angels" with their daughter's name, resume, and birth date written on them, and hosted a banquet for the "angels". After the "Angel" led the team back to the Forbidden City, he handed over the "festival" and "table" to the eunuch "Master of Ceremonies", even if he successfully completed the tasks of "Nacai" and "Asking for Names".

After that, the eunuchs of the "celebrant eunuch" went to the Qianqing Palace to resume the "imperial order", while the young emperor Zhu Qizhen "informed" the princes and ministers of the situation of "Nacai" and "asking for names". When it comes to the ceremony of "Najib" and "Nazheng", the corresponding ceremony is still held in the palace, and the "angel" is sent to hold the festival and go to Qian Shangshu's house with gifts and relevant documents. The emperor's reward is not only for Miss Qian and Qian Shangshu and their whole family, but also for all the family members and slaves.

After "Naji" and "Nazheng", this family affair was finally finalized, if the young emperor Zhu Qizhen really had three long and two short before entering the cave room, then the "queen" could only break her teeth and swallow her stomach, because she was already "famous and famous", even if she really became a "widow", it is estimated that no one would dare to beat her idea.
