The noble ladies of the Ming Dynasty naturally had their own lives. Qu
But it basically has nothing to do with government affairs.
As the eldest daughter of Zhu Di, Zhu Yuying actually started planning for her marriage very early.
It should have been finalized in the past two years, but Zhu Di's side was not stable.
Zhu Ying abolished the feudal lord and vassal land, which made things quite chaotic, so of course Zhu Di's thoughts were not on his daughter.
"Does my sister have a sweetheart?"
Zhu Gaochi asked directly.
He knew that the eldest sister had a good relationship with Xu Miaojin, and he must have known about Xu Miaojin's entry into the palace. Now that he brought it up, he would undoubtedly use Xu Miaojin's words to turn the blame on him. Qu
In some respects, people like Xu Miaojin are in free love.
In today's world where parents order matchmakers, this is quite special.
Most women don't even know what their future husband is like before they get engaged, and those who have secret feelings may not necessarily be able to be together.
Those stories of men and women falling in love will always be just an exception in today's world.
It is precisely because of this that it is sought after by many women.
Zhu Yuying only paused for a moment before nodding generously in acknowledgement.
She came here specifically to see Zhu Gaochi tonight just to ask him to help her. Qu
In any case, Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of the Yan Palace, and has been canonized by the emperor's grandfather. In addition, the mother and concubine have always made the decision in marriage, and the father will probably not interfere too much.
Unless there is some marriage purpose.
After all, he is the King of Yan, and Zhu Di does not need his daughter to marry to protect his status.
Zhu Yuying slowly spit out a name: "Yuan Rong."
Zhu Gaochi recalled it for a moment and asked, "Is it Yuan Rong, the son of Yuan Hong?"
Yuan Hong is not a small person, he is also one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. He first followed Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong.
Moreover, he is a close confidant of Zhu Yuanzhang. Even in the historical blue jade case, he always sides with Zhu Yuanzhang. Qu
Currently serving as the Governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion.
Zhu Gaochi also understood the eldest sister's difficulties.
Because this Yuan Rong was not Yuan Hong's eldest son, but Yuan Hong's concubine, born to Yuan Hong's concubine Liu.
The most important thing is that Yuan Hong is also half a relative of the emperor.
Because the wife of Cao Guogong Li Jingrong was Yuan Hong's second daughter.
Perhaps this is why Yuan Rong was able to recognize the relationship between Zhu Di's eldest daughter Li Yuying.
After all, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di grew up together. They have a good relationship, and the relationship between the two families is also good. Qu
And the problem also arises here.
Zhu Yuying is Zhu Di's eldest daughter, and she was canonized as Princess Yong'an two years ago.
And as a princess, no matter how good the match is, it should be Yuan Hong's legitimate son who is barely a match.
Being a concubine is not suitable for marriage in the palace.
No wonder Zhu Yuying came to Zhu Gaochi for help at night.
Zhu Gaochi hesitated slightly.
Because in his current situation, it was actually not safe to tell his mother and concubine, or his father, about his eldest sister's marriage. Qu
But in this situation, the eldest sister is obviously in love.
"Gao Chi, only you can help me with this matter now."
"Please, sister, can you think of a way?"
Zhu Yuying knew very well that her father was going to Japan this year, and her mother and concubine had actually told them about the marriage two days ago.
He said that he would help them find a good home in the near future.
At that time, Zhu Yuying did not dare to tell her mother and concubine about Yuan Rong. Once her mother and concubine failed, there would be no possibility.
"Sister, how do you want me to help you." Qu
That’s it
, In fact, Zhu Gaochi had already guessed what the eldest sister was thinking.
Instead of begging his mother and concubine, he came to find himself and told him about Xu Miaojin, so the answer was ready to come out.
Zhu Yuying had indeed thought about it and said after hearing the words: "Gao Chi, can you help me go to His Highness Taisun and tell him."
"If His Highness the Grand Sun comes forward to say something, my father and mother will definitely not object."
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was about to agree.
This was not a big deal. Considering his friendship with Zhu Ying, it was just a matter of words.
But when the words came to his lips, Zhu Gaochi suddenly stopped. Qu
Looking up at her eldest sister Zhu Yuying, she asked, "Sister, this idea was not your own idea, was it? Was it the idea of that boy Yuan Rong?"
Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something.
My eldest sister and Xu Miaojin are close friends, commonly known as best friends in later generations.
The eldest sister already knows that Xu Miaojin has entered the palace. If it is a simple marriage issue, she can ask Xu Miaojin for help.
Taisun will naturally agree.
But the eldest sister found herself.
This is a little different. Qu
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, Zhu Yuying lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's Mr. Rong's intention, and it's also my intention."
Yuan Rong was born as a concubine, so naturally he could not be called Yuan, but could only be called by his first name.
Zhu Gaochi also figured it out.
If the eldest sister talks to Xu Miaojin, then the grandson will naturally help solve the marriage problem.
When it comes to speaking to yourself, the situation is a little different.
In view of the relationship between Cao Guogong and his father, it was up to him to speak to his grandson in the end, which was a bit different in nature. Qu
From another perspective, it feels a bit like Prince Yan's palace looking for his grandson to ask for an official position for his son-in-law.
Zhu Yuying wanted to use this to find Yuan Rong an official position.
Now his father, Zhu Di, is about to take his whole family to Japan. Although he has the title of princess, these things in the officialdom are not that simple.
Yuan Hong's own eldest son was still a junior military attaché, so how could he go to the court to seek an official position for his own concubine?
Moreover, according to the official regulations re-established by Zhu Ying, in addition to being hereditary, it is not as easy as before to rely on connections to become an official, whether it is a civil official or a military officer.
The officials were also very nervous.
"My eldest sister hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's already thinking about her future brother-in-law." Qi
"How did this boy Yuan Rong get such good fortune in his life? The eldest sister let go of so many young talents, but she just fell in love with him."
Zhu Gaochi said jokingly.
There is nothing objectionable about the little thoughts of the eldest sister and Yuan Rong.
It is also natural to use one's own connections to seek an official position for one's husband.
Talking about relying on one's own efforts is completely meaningless at the level of the palace. No matter how hard Yuan Rong works, he will never be able to get enough of Zhu Yuying in this life.
Besides, in this world, women don't say they can wait for others if they have their own ideas. Under the orders of their parents, there is no room for resistance.
Zhu Yuying is in a hurry now because she is afraid that her mother and concubine will make the decision without paying attention, and there will be no room for turning around. Qu
Hearing the title brother-in-law, Zhu Yuying's face turned red and she felt happy at the same time.
This shows that his younger brother Gao Chi has already agreed to this matter, and he also approves of Yuan Rong.
I don't think I know Zhu Gaochi very well, but I can hear some rumors.
Yuan Rong, who was born in a concubine, naturally had no worries about food and clothing, and did not have the temperament of a playboy. He could not be said to be particularly outstanding in civil and military matters, but he was still passable.
Mainly because Zhu Gaochi knew that Yuan Rong had never been to any romantic circles.
As long as the eldest sister likes it, it doesn't matter.
As the Prince of Yan, it was Yuan Rong's blessing that his eldest sister married Yuan Rong. Qu
He is not worried about whether Yuan Rong wants to use his eldest sister to gain a position for himself. Even if he has such thoughts, it is not a big deal.
As the eldest daughter of King Yan, Yongcheng Princess.
As long as the eldest sister likes it, that's enough.
Could it be that I am still worried about the injustice my eldest sister will suffer if she gets married?
What a joke.
Although men are now superior to women, there are always exceptions in many aspects.
This is the eldest daughter of Prince Yan's palace. Qu
Zhu Gaochi has never worried about these aspects.
"I'll leave this to you, sister."
"If possible, please ask my brother to get it done early to prevent any complications."
At this moment, Zhu Yuying's tone was pleading.
If this matter drags on for a few days, if the mother-in-law can reach an agreement, everything will come to nothing.
"Sister, don't worry. I will go to the palace to ask my grandson for help tomorrow morning."
Hearing Zhu Gaochi say this, Zhu Yuying was relieved. Qu
Zhu Gaochi was of course worried about his eldest sister's marriage.
Early the next morning, we rushed to Kunning Palace.
According to the current two-day court meeting, there is no need to go to court early today, so Zhu Ying's point is naturally in Kunning Palace.
Now Zhu Ying is sleeping in Xu Miaojin's palace.
But he had a hunch that it might not be long before he would sleep alone again.
You still need to go to various concubines on weekdays, and you can't just ignore them when you're pregnant.
But Ye Yueqing should be about the same. Qu
It can last for a few months.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Yan wishes to see you."
Zhu Ying smiled after hearing the eunuch's report.
"Let him come over."
"Follow the order."
Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Ying asked with a smile: "Did we discuss it last night?"
Zhu Ying was talking about going to Annan. Qu
Zhu Gaochi replied: "Brother, my father has promised me to go to Annan."
Zhuying nodded.
Annan should probably be there next month. The Ming army led by Ye Sheng entered Duobang City, which meant that Hu Jisao had nowhere to escape. Even if he did escape, it would not be a success.
Now is the time when Annan needs a large number of officials.
"Are you going to take the officials who went with you to Japan with you, or are you going to stay in Japan?"
Zhuying asked.
Zhu Gaochi replied: "Except for Xia Yuanji and a few others, they should all stay in Yancheng." Qu
This is considered the limit. If he really takes away most of them, Zhu Di will lose his temper.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi added: "There is one more thing I want to ask of my brother."
"It's about my sister's marriage."
Zhu Ying subconsciously said: "Your sister, do you mean sister Yuying?"
Zhu Ying was quite impressed by this Zhu Yuying.
After all, there is only one name difference between me and her.
Even the real name Zhu Xiongying is just one word different. Qu
Being able to have such a name naturally has a history. The name Zhu Yuying was not given by Zhu Di or Xu Yihua.
It was given to me by Queen Ma in the tenth year of Hongwu.
Zhu Xiongying is the first eldest grandchild.
Zhu Di's eldest daughter Zhu Yuying is the first eldest granddaughter among all the grandchildren of Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuying was born, Xu Yihua asked Queen Ma to give her a name, and then the name Zhu Yuying came into being.
Zhu Gaochi then told Zhu Ying everything about Zhu Yuying's marriage.
Even the matter including Zhu Yuying's wish to seek an official position for her future husband was revealed in full. Qu
"big
Brother, they say women are not allowed to stay in college. I didn’t feel anything about it at first, but now that I met my sister, I really feel it. "
"I thought it was because I was more important than Xu Miaojin in the eldest sister's heart. Instead of looking for this close friend, I looked for my younger brother. Only later did I figure out all the details here."
"We haven't even gotten married yet, but we have already started planning for our future brother-in-law, and we even thought that I, the younger brother, would be the one to tell the eldest brother."
Zhu Gaochi looked helpless and complained to Zhu Ying.
This remark is rather clever.
Not only did he point out the relationship between Xu Miaojin and the eldest sister, but he also took this opportunity to express the idea of the eldest sister seeking an official position from the eldest brother-in-law.
It seems that he is still standing as a victim and is forced to be helpless. Qu
How could this little trick be hidden from Zhu Ying?
But he wouldn't say he cares about it.
"Okay, after all, he is a guest of honor in the Prince Yan's Palace. There is no problem in arranging an official position. Since he is the son of Yuan Hong, we will see which governor's house he is assigned to be assigned a position."
"However, your incident has made me discover something. Is it that the second sons of these heroes are still idle and have never joined the job?"
After agreeing, Zhu Ying asked casually.
There are now many founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and because the Blue Jade Case did not occur, the names are even more numerous.
This year can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty, everyone is a distinguished person, and no one can have children. The children are usually three, four, seven or eight. Qu
Needless to say, the eldest son will mostly inherit his father's title.
If the second son is a concubine, he will need to find another way out.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi didn't think much and replied: "Isn't it? Most of the idle people in the capital city are the second sons of noble nobles. Whenever there is a fight, you don't have to think too much about it. They almost all get involved. They were the ones who caused the trouble."
"Everyone actually has a headache in this regard, but there is no other way."
A junior official will look down upon him, but a senior official will not be able to do it.
They are wealthy but have high aspirations but low abilities. They are the second sons and concubines in the capital now.
Most of them spend a lot of time drinking and drinking, listening to music, and waiting for their father to share some of the family property to live their lives when they grow up. Qu
After Zhu Ying heard this, she had many more thoughts in her mind.
These second sons and concubines are all descendants of distinguished nobles. There may be some who are more playboys, but they have all been taught by famous teachers since they were young and have practiced martial arts since childhood.
In addition, I have been exposed to some things from my father's generation, and I actually have a clear vision of the situation.
Wouldn't it be a waste to let it go so laissez-faire?
Now there is a shortage of talents everywhere, such as Annan and Japan.
A little practice can be of great use.
At the same time, it can also solve the headaches faced by our nobles now, which is a double benefit. Qu
