And Xu Wanjiang’s end was very bad! When he returned to Beijing, he was scolded by Liu Shouyou first. He thought that the matter was over, and planned to give some money to make Liu Haojia happy, but everything changed after Liu Shouyou came back from the palace! His status was demoted to Baihu and sent directly to Liaodong. I am afraid he will never be able to return to the Central Plains again in this life!
At the same time, Emperor Wanli became much more active and often expressed some of his own opinions in the morning court. Even when I was studying, I dared to discuss with several masters how to understand the meaning of the scriptures, and it actually seemed to provide some guidance! This made Zhang Juzheng and the courtiers feel special!
Legally speaking, Emperor Wanli, who was about to get married, had the right to do so. In ancient times, a wedding represented a person's coming of age! Moreover, when Emperor Wanli reaches adulthood, he is different from others. Will he return to power after he reaches adulthood? What if we don't return to power and be with him? How will it be recorded in history books? So they couldn't make up their mind for a while!
But also some courtiers became active. These courtiers all supported Emperor Wanli's rule. Of course, it would be a joke to say that they were loyal to Emperor Wanli! They just hope to improve their status by helping Emperor Wanli, so as to seize more rights and seek more benefits!
Emperor Wanli may not understand this, but he still shows his kindness to these people frequently, and the scale is just right! It not only made them feel that the emperor looked down upon them, but also did not anger Zhang Juzheng and other courtiers around him.
In this case, a lot of news outside the court is not particularly important. Rumors have already appeared on the streets of the capital that Wu Ninghou caught the families of several people who went to check the accounts and forced them to make up for the holes in his accounts!
Why did Wu Ninghou hide the woman at home and wait for the auditors to go there to deliberately frame them by playing fairy dance, forcing them to tell lies with him?
There are endless rumors like this! There are even rumors that Wu Ninghou has secretly joined the White Lotus Sect, and when the time is right, he will invade the capital and change the world! There is so much news going around that it’s impossible to tell the truth from the lies! The one who delivers the news is happy, and the one who hears the news is also happy! Anyway, in the eyes of the common people, there are not many good officials. It's just dog bites dog. If there are any rumors, just listen to them and forget it!
However, among the many messages, there was an inconspicuous message that quickly disappeared. That is, a censor who was released to the outside world failed to blackmail a wealthy family, but was sued instead. Now the whole family has been imprisoned!
Originally, things like this for a sixth- or seventh-grade official would not have reached the capital at all. It was just because the censor was once a celebrity in the capital, so everyone talked about it casually, and then the news quickly disappeared!
And as time goes by, especially as Emperor Wanli’s wedding approaches, the news on the market has almost hit the market! There is less and less news about Wu Ninghou, but new news will pop up every once in a while. These news tell the world that Wu Ninghou is carrying out ulterior plans in Tianjin, and we will see the results in the future!
Soon the time finally came to the wedding day of Emperor Wanli. He still married the Queen Wang from the original historical line! But the difference is that with Liu Haojia's support, Emperor Wanli held this wedding in an extremely luxurious manner! There are also many rewards for officials!
According to Liu Haojia's calculations, the property that Emperor Wanli gave to his father-in-law's family was at least three times more than in history! It can be seen that before the wedding, he was also very interested in this queen, but he never won the favor of Emperor Wanli later, but at least he made the queen position very stable!
From the perspective of Emperor Wanli himself, he was very filial. After he succeeded to the throne, the most solemn ceremony was to give the title of Empress Dowager Shengren to his aunt, Queen Chen of Longqing, and to give the title of Empress Dowager Cisheng to his biological mother, the imperial concubine Li of Longqing.
Even in the late Wanli period when he rarely came to court, whenever the Empress Dowager Cisheng was born, he still came to the Huangji Gate in person to receive congratulations from hundreds of officials. Therefore, some people call Ming Shenzong's filial piety "rare in the filial piety of emperors in ancient and modern times."
And Emperor Wanli's filial piety also indirectly became an opportunity for his queen, Sister Wang Xi, to remain in the throne for forty-two years without wavering! Although this queen was very ordinary, without extraordinary beauty or the most prominent family background, during her reign she was not able to give birth to a prince to inherit the throne for the emperor. She only gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Rongchang.
.
But this queen won the love of Shenzong's biological mother, Li, with her gentle personality. As a daughter-in-law, she respects the elders and loves the young. She takes great care of the Queen Mother Li, and she is even more protective of the Prince Zhu Changluo. ap.
Empress Dowager Li admired such a queen very much.
Even if Shenzong, who has always been filial, prefers others, he will never disobey his mother's ideas. This is also the best guarantee that Sister Wang Xi can stay in the back seat for so long. It can be seen that she is also a smart person, knowing who has thicker thighs!
Four months after Emperor Wanli's wedding, it was finally time for Liu Haojia's wedding! As soon as the news was finalized, the door of Gu Ningbo's house was almost trampled to pieces! Everyone knows that Liu Haojia has opened a separate mansion, but Gu Ningbo's mansion and Wuninghou's mansion have not separated.
Moreover, Liu Haojia respected his parents very much. As soon as he returned to the capital, the first thing he did was to visit the emperor in the palace, and the second thing was to visit his parents at Gu Ningbo's mansion. Therefore, the congratulatory gift can only be sent to Gu Ningbo's house. And it would be good to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Wu Ninghou's parents, even if it is him and his eldest brother!
As for Zhang Peijia’s father, Zhang Shunping, he is already crazy with joy! After waiting for many years, his long-cherished wish finally came true, which made him burst out with extremely powerful power! After he brought all the clan members from Nanjing to the capital, he devoted himself to preparing for the wedding!
When he learned that Tan Cuiying was about to marry into the Hou family as a concubine, Zhang Shunping asked his wife to come forward and make an appointment to talk to Tan Cuiying, and then he had a goddaughter in his name! Now that the Zhang family has two daughters marrying into the Hou family, it is natural that they will do something special!
Not to mention anything else, the day when the dowry is given is the real red wedding day! And this Shili Hongzhuang is really literal! Just when the first couple of dowries entered the gate of Wuning Houfu, the last few dowries had not even left the Zhang family's door! This shows how much the Zhang family bought for their two daughters!
As for the nobles and nobles, they have made a lot of money doing business with Liu Haojia in the past two years. Not to mention repaying the money back then, there is still profit to be made! And if this trend continues, the annual interest collection will not be a small figure, so I am even more grateful to Liu Haojia, and naturally I will give him a lot of gifts!
