In the fourth year of Haojing, October of 1647 in the Western calendar was different from October in previous years, because the Ming Dynasty was celebrated by the whole world, and it was also a double happiness for a certain new emperor.
It's not an adjective, but a real double happiness. In order to save the expenses of the palace, Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing and King Zhu Cijiong of Dingzhi got married at the same time.
The person Zhu Ya'ao married was Sun Yunqiu, the follower behind Bo Jue, the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty. The person Zhu Cijiong married was the female official Su Yan who was close to his beautiful mother. By the way, he also took Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo as side wives.
Sun Yunqiu was two years older than Zhu Yushuo, which was considered similar in age. He had been smart since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been introduced to Bo Jue as a follower by a certain prince at the time.
Under the words and deeds of his master Bo Jue, this guy has now become a student and the backbone of the optical project team. His annual salary at the Academy of Sciences reaches 500 taels.
The annual salary seems to be quite large, enough for ordinary people to eat and drink every day, but it is difficult to support the royal princess. However, as the elder brother-in-law, the new emperor will naturally give his sister a very expensive dowry.
Regarding this marriage, the beautiful biological mother is very happy with it. At least her son-in-law Sun Yunqiu has a serious job. He has been in the capital since he was a child and often visits her at his residence. It can be said that he has watched her grow up.
Dean Song Yingxing, Vice Dean Xiong Renlin, and Master Bo Jue are all willing to guarantee this marriage, so the new emperor will naturally not deliberately set up obstacles.
As long as they are in love, these two will soon be able to live a life without shame or coquettishness...
As for Zhu Cijiong, the little fat man, he couldn't go out to play in the rear mansion, and the women he knew were very limited. He didn't dare to worry about the woman from the new emperor's side, so he could only think of his own mother.
Su Yan is undoubtedly a good target. She is excellent in appearance, figure, ability and loyalty. Except that she is ten years older than Zhu Cijiong, everything can be said to be good.
But the beautiful biological mother disagrees, because the age difference between the two is too big. A girl and a boy can do it, but a boy and a girl will have to follow in the footsteps of Uncle Tianqi.
Under the shining light of a certain royal brother, Zhu Cijiong had not accomplished anything in his life, so he asked his beautiful mother to agree to the marriage at the cost of giving up the vassal status.
However, a certain biological mother was still unwilling to nod. Finally, a certain royal brother gave Xiao Feizhai a not-so-fresh idea - boil raw rice into crispy rice!
On a dark and windy night, the little fat man gave a certain female official...
Because the little fat house learned a lot of ulterior gestures from "The Collector's Edition of the Secret History of Guanwai", a certain female officer had symptoms of vomiting three months later.
They were able to hide it at first, but later, the little fat man simply took Su Yan to his yard and kept her in captivity.
This incident made a certain mother very angry. The eldest son was leading the army on an expedition, and the second son needed to supervise the country, but he was not easy to get angry.
In the end, he was forced to agree, otherwise he would get pregnant and really have to marry his son. Then the officials would see the clues, which would be a big joke.
This matter has nothing to do with Su Yan, but because of marriage considerations, a certain biological mother does not want her second son to marry a woman who is so much older and still be his wife.
In view of the fact that Su Yan had served her for many years, she knew everything about him and felt at ease. After her son's repeated requests and arbitrary actions, she simply agreed.
But there is also a bright side to the matter, that is, the female official becomes a daughter-in-law, which is much better than marrying a woman whom she does not know well from outside.
It is not uncommon in history for a daughter-in-law to kill her mother-in-law. Jia Nanfeng, the queen of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, did such a weird thing.
Since Jiangnan was invaded by the Western and British armies, Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo took their belongings and servants north along the canal and took refuge in the northern capital.
I don't plan to go back now. If something like this happens again in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid I will have to go north again. It's better to stay here and keep company with Kou Baimen and other sisters.
It's just that they are no longer what they used to be, and were taken into the side chambers by the emperor. In comparison, the two sisters Liu and Gu are much bleaker, with almost nothing except money.
Considering that she is approaching thirty, her beauty has become a thing of the past, so she can only find a more reliable person to marry.
But the two girls have a good reputation. As long as they open their mouths, people will come to visit them in an endless stream. They are determined not to become leftover girls.
The little fat man didn't feel happy just marrying Su Yan. The emperor's brother married two people at once before, so he had to be better than his predecessors.
So Xiao Feizhai recruited the two girls into the rear residence in the name of the regent of the prison country. With the help of Su Yan, he cooked the raw rice into a pot for the second time...
The little fat house didn't dare to worry about Kou Baimen and other sisters-in-law, but with these two girls, the little fat house didn't have so much scruples, and just went straight to the throne.
For Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo, it was a good thing to be taken as concubines by King Dingzhong.
Although King Dingzhi is young, his appearance is as good as that of his elder brother.
Secondly, he has a distinguished status. He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and the only younger brother of the current emperor.
This alone can make people with ulterior motives stay away, and the sisters will definitely not be ridiculed by others in the future.
Even if she can't become the prince's wife, being able to be a concubine is the dream of countless women.
In view of their experiences in the first half of their lives, the two women no longer wanted to be homeless, and they did not dare to refute King Dingzhi's face.
Xiao Feizhai has been surrounded by his imperial brother for many years and has already learned a set of tricks to deceive people.
He didn't say that he liked her, but said that he took care of the two daughters on behalf of the emperor's brother. The emperor's brother was extremely concerned about the fact that the two daughters had not married.
Xiao Feizhai vowed that even after marriage, the two daughters can still go into business and do what they like to do.
The little fat house doesn't want a cent of the money earned, and the two girls can use it on their own. This is the biggest concession.
A certain mother disagreed with this, but Xiao Feizhai said that the eight beauties of Qinhuai were parallel flowers.
The emperor's brother has married six of them, and the remaining two must not be married off by ordinary people.
He could only reluctantly marry the two daughters Liu and Gu, which could be considered as sharing the worries for the emperor brother.
Now, Su Yan is ten years older than Zhu Cijiong, Gu Hengbo is eleven years older, and Liu Rushi is twelve years older.
A female college student holds a golden mountain in her arms, and marrying Liu Rushi is equivalent to holding four golden mountains in her arms!
A certain mother wanted to refuse, but she knew that her second son looked down on other women.
If it weren't for Xue Wanqing's somewhat "obtrusive" appearance, she knew she had physical defects, was well-educated, and had a very gentle personality.
If she were an upright and spoiled daughter, she would be severely punished by her second son after marriage, or even kicked out of her home.
As a biological mother, she could not make the decision in the marriage of her two sons, which had to make Empress Zhou feel awkward.
Fortunately, the eldest son's main wife is the daughter of the chief minister, and his side wife is his maid.
The second son's first wife is a female official of Kunning Palace, which can be regarded as a spy around the two sons.
Considering many reasons, a certain biological mother also made concessions, but stipulated that the two daughters Liu and Gu should not leave the rear residence unless necessary.
You can do business after marriage, but you have to stay in the temporary palace of the queen.
Now that we have telephones, it is very convenient to contact us. There is no need to do anything in person.
In exchange, the second son Zhu Cijiong will still live in the rear mansion after marriage and will not move to the palace outside to live alone.
The son-in-law is a foreigner, and a man with a foreign surname must not stay overnight in the rear residence, not even members of the clan.
Zhu Aona can then go out to live with her husband Sun Yunqiu, and the new prince-in-law is also eligible to go to court.
Before a new emperor got married, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, two high walls were built to the west and north of the East Palace as a cordon.
When Xiao Feizhai got married, a wall was built to the west of Renshou Palace to separate it from the main palaces such as Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.
The area north of the East Palace was assigned to Xiao Fei's house as his residence.
As long as he doesn't rape Minnu again, this guy can do whatever he wants inside...
In the opinion of a certain new emperor, apart from being delicious and lazy to cook, this product is no different from the ordinary Ming Dynasty vassal king.
At least his brain is normal, and he is not stupid. Not only can he use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division proficiently, but he can also speak simple English and German.
The most important thing is that having no ambition for the throne is like eating, drinking, having fun, and living happily all your life.
When a certain new emperor led his troops on an expedition, he was reluctant to go to court within a few days and found it boring.
Ministers who can't play with all the tricks, and after being bored, often fall asleep in court meetings...
If it weren't for his own mother listening behind him, the little fat man would have let the ministers "entertain themselves".
Compared to a certain new emperor, this guy is a standard fatuous emperor.
But as long as the new emperor's team is still used, nothing serious can happen.
At least he is much better than the blame-shifting father who loves to do things in the opposite direction. To put it mildly, he is called a follower of good deeds.
A certain new emperor was busy fighting wars in the three years after getting married, and was not interested in having children, and he did not plan to have children so early.
If a smart little guy is born, won't he have to worry about his throne when he grows up?
So Xiao Feizhai took the lead in this regard. Su Yan was pregnant, and according to Wu Youxing's speculation, it was a boy.
For a certain new emperor, it has nothing to do with him that the couple gave birth to a Decepticon.
The two of them would have as many children as they wanted. Anyway, they would have money to support them and would not starve to death.
From the perspective of a bowl of water being equal, each of the younger siblings received a red envelope of five hundred thousand taels of silver.
It's all paid for by a new emperor out of his own pocket, and he won't spend a tael of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Moreover, the little fat house is not a vassal, and it won't occupy an acre of land from the common people.
The Prince Consort's Mansion given to Sun Yunqiu was bought by a new emperor for 20,000 taels of silver. Judging from the price, it was not large in scale.
Because the family will move to the new city in two years, there is really no need to spend more money to buy a house in the old city.
The dowry of 500,000 taels of cash was enough for the couple to spend until they were buried. The new emperor paid it all at once, and then they could have a good time.
The little fat house has to be managed until death, otherwise on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, this guy will have to marry a few women who are much older than himself...
Everyone has their own preferences, and the little fat house likes this one. Since the harm is not great, a certain new emperor can tolerate it for the time being.
To put it another way, I don’t want Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo to be married off by others, especially Jiangnan scholars.
Don't leave any land to outsiders, Qinhuai's eight beauties will have to die in the pot of their own brothers!
The person officiating this time was Feng Quan, Minister of Rites, and a certain new emperor paid for the entire process. The scale was large, but the cost was to be saved.
Before that, a certain father received the wedding invitation, and after careful consideration, he decided to go north again.
This time, he learned the lessons from the previous time and no longer argued with a certain filial son. He just came to watch the fun.
The second son is getting married to the eldest daughter. As the father, he has to come, otherwise there will be many versions spread in the market...
This time, it was not a certain filial son who made a certain father angry, but the women married by Xiao Feizhai. Two of them were actually businesswomen, and they were from the Qinhuai River before... Let’s not mention it!
The deal is done, what can you do if you don't want to, you can only turn a blind eye and treat the two sons as your enemies!
Chongzhen had already focused his energy on cultivating the sons of Concubine Tian, Zhu Cizhao and Zhu Cixuan.
I heard that the traitor led his army to Qianshan Mountain south of Liaoyang. Although he failed to recapture Liaoyang, he wiped out nearly 90,000 enemies.
After seeing many photos and asking some generals who accompanied him on the expedition, Chongzhen felt really mixed emotions.
If it hadn't been for the unprecedented victory in Changzhou, where he defeated tens of thousands of Xiyi troops, he would have been outshone by the traitor this time.
Fortunately, if we persist for another two years, we won't need to support the traitor with money or food.
After next year and the year after are over, Nan Ting's pressure will drop sharply, and he will be able to make a big difference by then.
Chongzhen planned to let Huang Degong and others imitate the traitor's military training method and train 100,000 new troops to regain Annan and Myanmar.
As long as these two important places can be retaken, even if the traitor can defeat Huang Taiji and regain Liaodong, he will still be in an invincible position.
The general plan is to organize and train 20,000 new troops every year starting from this year until the 24th year of Chongzhen (1651).
When the time comes to send out troops, he happens to be forty years old, at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and can just go on a personal expedition to conquer the barbarians!
Seeing the virtue of his second son, Chongzhen was originally very angry, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Wouldn't the second son be causing trouble for the eldest son by acting so wantonly?
In this way, it will be extremely beneficial to yourself.
Not only should we not reprimand the second son, but we should encourage him...
Chongzhen gave each of his eldest daughter and second son a red envelope of 66,000 taels of silver. He kindly told the two newlyweds to respect and love each other and grow old together.
Then he walked around the capital for a while, letting his entourage understand the principles of various novel objects in the northern capital. If they couldn't understand it for the time being, they took them back to study, and then returned to the southern capital with Concubine Tian.
Regarding the abnormal behavior of a certain father and emperor, a certain new emperor felt that this scapegoat must have ulterior motives, and it seemed that he had upgraded on his own.
But based on the concept that I will be strong if I don’t die, as long as I continue to grow my own strength, a certain new emperor can ask a certain father to retire in the future!
Fortunately, they were getting married in October and their clothes could cover them up, otherwise the couple would have been really embarrassed.
Merchants, officials, and the military naturally welcomed these two marriages.
A royal wedding will definitely stimulate consumption among people in the capital.
All officials can enjoy a week's rest with pay.
In the army, you can have a big meal every day, and the food standard is much higher than usual.
A certain new emperor has already earned back the one million taels of silver red envelopes he gave out. The dumper is not so much here to attend the wedding as to stock up on goods!
Xiao Feizhai married Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo, which was equivalent to wiping out the main rival in Jiangnan.
In the future, the main business scope of Gu Liu Trading Company will be the northern region, but with the help of a certain new emperor, the two siblings will definitely make less money...
