Emperor Wanli turned his head and said, "What method? It's up to me to decide whether it's suitable or not. Just tell me quickly!".Ь.
Zhang Jia said slowly: "The nobles want to use marriage to win over Wu Ninghou's family. In fact, the royal family can also do it! For example, if a noble girl in the clan marries Wu Ninghou's eldest son, wouldn't this break the relationship? Did you accept their marriage plan? I don’t believe that Duke Xu and others dare to compete with the royal family for their son-in-law!"
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter! Then he slammed the table hard and said: "Zhang Jia, you are really a wise man! I didn't expect you to think of things that I didn't think of!"
After saying that, he stood up and began to circle around the desk, carefully thinking about the feasibility of this plan! After he walked around for a few times, he suddenly stopped and said loudly: "I have decided not to choose someone from the clan. I will point my daughter to him!"
When Zhang Jia heard this, he trembled in his heart and couldn't help but wailed! Brother! I have already done my best! The rest is up to you!
The reason why Zhang Jia thinks so is very simple! Because of the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the royal consort was not allowed to be an official! Not even civil servants or military officers! The reason for this is that we have learned the lesson that the princes-in-law in the Tang Dynasty liked to rebel, so you princes-in-law might as well not do any work, just receive your salary and accompany the princess!
But anyone who dares to challenge both civil and military life is very arrogant, so how could he be willing to be a prince-in-law with no rights at all for the sake of Princess Shang! So the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were notoriously difficult to marry!
But Zhang Jia avoided this problem by referring to a noble girl from the clan! Because the daughter of the clan is not a royal princess, there is no problem that her son-in-law cannot be an official! But there is another problem that Zhang Jia did not remind Emperor Wanli, that is, this clan girl can be given the title of princess! As long as he is given the title of princess, his husband-in-law cannot be an official! But what he didn't expect was that Emperor Wanli went even further and simply gave his daughter to the Liu family as his wife!
This not only showed his favor to Liu Haojia, but also legitimately abolished the marriage plan of the nobles! By the way, a big nail was planted in the Liu family!
Because at this time in ancient times, it was the eldest son inheritance system! If the eldest son cannot be an official, it will be difficult for him to take over the position of head of the family! Then the other brothers below will have a chance to take the lead! Judging from the Liu family's family business, I'm afraid this competition will still be fierce! When the time comes when the royal family intervenes a few more times, and if nobles get involved, the Liu family will be in chaos, and don't even think about doing anything!
After Emperor Wanli made up his mind, he rarely delayed it as usual. Instead, he asked Zhang Jia to immediately spread the word, saying that the royal family was planning to let Wu Ninghou's eldest son Princess Shang!琇书蛧
Unsurprisingly, the news spread quickly! Everyone who heard the news said that Wu Ninghou was in the holy family, and they were very envious! But when the news reached Duke Xu, these three old men burst into laughter!
Because they have already anticipated this situation! Because the royal family will never sit back and watch their ministers be dragged away! Let Liu Haojia's eldest son Princess Shang be the best way to break the situation! Just listen to Xu Guogong twirling his beard and saying proudly: "How is it, how is it! I said that the royal family will definitely be fooled!"
Duke Dingguo said unconvinced: "Don't forget that I first proposed this idea!"
Xu Guogong said with a smile: "What's the point of us fighting here? The main thing is that the plan can achieve the best results!"
Duke Cheng Guo also said with a smile: "Long Live Master has made a stupid move! He didn't want to think about how the eldest son of the big family, Princess Shang, has been there for so many years! This will cause civil strife in the family! So both the royal family and the nobles have Always avoid this kind of situation! After all, Long Live Master is too young to see things thoroughly!"
Xu Guogong said: "He thought this method could win over Liu Haojia, but he didn't know that this would push him towards us! Now he should know that the royal family is not worthy of trust, right?"
Duke Dingguo immediately poured cold water on him and said, "We can't be too happy now! After all, the royal family just spread the rumors and haven't implemented the matter yet!"
Xu Guogong said disdainfully: "So what? Now that the news has been released, who dares to marry the Liu family? The eldest son of a big family
How important is Liu Haojia's marriage? How could Liu Haojia not be angry when it was delayed by the royal family? Don't worry, he will be one of us sooner or later! "
Just when the three of them were celebrating, the Liu family also got together because of this incident! Moreover, Liu’s father, Liu’s mother, Liu Haonian and his wife all attended this family meeting and dinner together!
During this period of time, Liu Haojia gave Liu's father and Liu's mother too many surprises! First, he took charge of the Jin Yiwei and became the commander! Then he started a big case and captured nearly a hundred officials! Now that Liu Haojia's name has resounded throughout the officialdom, no one dares to look down upon this new commander of the Imperial Guard! This also announced the complete end of Liu Shouyou's era, and Jin Yiwei no longer had an ambiguous relationship with civil servants!
As a result, just after this incident, news came out that Xungui had taken a liking to the old Liu family and was ready to kill all the descendants of the Liu family! Although the Geng Tie has not yet been exchanged to completely finalize the matter, judging from the status of the several princes, the matter is a certainty!
Just when Father Liu and Mother Liu were feeling dizzy with happiness, news came again that the royal family was preparing to marry the Liu family! This made them completely confused, and happiness overflowed from every part of them! In their opinion, it is a great blessing to be able to marry the royal family! It shows that my son is deeply trusted by the royal family and his career is just around the corner! No, now that he has achieved great success, the next step is to contribute to the government!
So the whole family happily gathered around the table to eat, drink and discuss the latest news! Even when a few children started to fight while eating, the adults let it go! Especially Zhang Peijia was overjoyed when she heard the news that her son wanted Princess Shang, and her eyes were full of joy when she saw her son!
Not to mention Father Liu and Mother Liu, looking at their eldest grandson and granddaughter running around on the floor, their faces were full of walnut lines and they laughed! As for Liu Haonian and his wife, they also looked proud! However, there were only two people at the banquet who not only did not look happy, but also frowned. These two people were Liu Haojia and Tan Cuiying!
At this time, the old man finally finished a long speech, fully looking forward to the future development of the Liu family! He also reminded Liu Haojia that when he becomes the Duke of the country in the future, he must support his eldest brother more! After finishing speaking, the old man drank the wine in the glass happily. Then he put down his wine glass with a smile.
