Zhu Cilang is a lucky star, and all his efforts are not in vain. The Ming Dynasty is gradually moving towards a prosperous era.

Beijing City, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Forbidden City can finally have a safe sleep. He has never felt as safe as he is now. Before, he was always pressed against a huge rock in his heart, which made Emperor Chongzhen breathless.

Even as the emperor of the Nine Five, Emperor Chongzhen had never been really happy. The main reason was that the Ming Dynasty was really out of place, with smoke everywhere and chaos in the world.

Faced with the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was powerless. He wanted to do everything and did everything, but in the end he did nothing, and the country became increasingly degenerate.

Until his son appeared, Zhu Cilang changed all this. All the way, it was not easy. Zhu Cilang was eighteen years old and entered the political arena since he was twelve. Now six years have passed.

Over the past six years, the Qing Dynasty was beaten to a slump and endured Huang Taiji. In China, the bandit Li Zicheng was finally killed by himself, and Zhang Xianzhong was also endured by himself. Then, Zhang Xianzhong's army surrendered to the court.

Everything is developing in a good direction, although natural disasters are still frequent. However, it is still much better than before.

Especially with the popularity of crops, although the people's lives are still difficult. At least, most people can fill their stomachs.

In those provinces where crops are popular, as long as farmers are willing to work hard, the food can still be supplied to the whole family after a year of hard work.

If you work harder, it will be better to save food at the end of the year. With the food stored, you can exchange it for daily necessities. You can raise livestock, cattle, sheep, chicken, duck, geese, etc., and the family's life is finally guaranteed.

Before this, such days were almost unimaginable. Not to mention eating well, even eating full is a luxury.

During the year, the autumn and winter days are barely passed. When it is time to get old, you have to think about digging the bark and digging wild vegetables.

In the year of disaster, the family was even more unlucky. In the middle of winter, there was no grain at home, and there was no food to beg for food on the street. At that time, the people were really bitter. A few kilograms of millet could be exchanged for a yellow-flowered daughter.

There are many situations where children sell their children. There are no beggars now, and there are still quite a lot of them. However, now beggars are usually lazy people, some idle guys, and some beg for a living.

Anyone with some ability will not be hungry if he works hard.

Emperor Chongzhen felt at ease and ate well and slept soundly. The thin Emperor Chongzhen also had a plump figure. Chongzhen, who had gained weight and became fat, finally tasted the sweetness of being an emperor.

In the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in front of him. The memorial was sent from Sichuan, thousands of miles away. The postmen kept going all the way and rushed to the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally overjoyed when he saw his son's letters, and was even more surprised when he saw the content of his son's letters.

Even Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood and picked up the letter and said to Wang Chengen beside him: "Chengen, come and take a look and see what the child Cixuan sent."

Emperor Chongzhen was like all the parents in the world. When his children were promising, he wanted everyone to know. Only by sharing his own joy can he have a huge sense of accomplishment.

Wang Chengen was still careful. He picked up the letter and read it over and over again, and couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face: "Congratulations to the Emperor, the Crown Prince, finally agreed to get married."

That's right, Zhu Cilang wrote a letter to marry and asked Emperor Chongzhen to choose the crown princess for him. Before that, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict more than once, and as the crown prince, he had already reached the age of a wedding. In order to achieve the country and country of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang must be allowed to return to Beijing immediately to complete his lifelong affairs.

Sichuan had recovered at that time, but Zhu Cixuan was busy managing Sichuan and had no time to return to Beijing. As for the time when he got married, he never thought about it.

Why did the Huns do their family before they were destroyed? If the peace is coming today, Sichuan can be left to their ministers to govern. But Zhu Cixuan just didn't. He had to complete the mining target of saltpeter mine in Sichuan before he would return to Beijing.

The prince is the foundation of the country and will inherit the throne in the future. The prince who is at the age of marriage cannot be delayed and must get married as soon as possible and will continue his offspring.

You should know that the ancients had a short lifespan, and any disease would lead to emergencies at any time. For example, deaths abound in their decades or even in their teens.

Some emperors or princes who are in their prime may easily die after they get sick. Not to mention, those children who have low birth rates and many die early.

Zhu Cilang is eighteen years old. It is logical that he should get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reproduction of offspring.

Emperor Chongzhen advised him several times, but Zhu Cixuan refused to agree. This time he actually wrote a letter to request the enthronement of the Crown Princess. Emperor Chongzhen was naturally very excited. He read the letter to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chenen was also happy.

Emperor Chongzhen showed a joyful smile on his face: "I want to tell the queen this good news."

Kunning Palace, as a mother, Empress Zhou, naturally has more concerns about her son's marriage. Her son is willing to choose a concubine, and Empress Zhou even shed tears of joy: "Long live, the emperor has grown up. But why has the emperor decided to choose a concubine? Shen, Shen Shishi, of Huajiazhuang..."

Emperor Chongzhen was quite open-minded about this: "Actually, the emperor has known this girl for a long time. I have also heard of this girl, and I have asked Luo Yangxing to inquire about it. She is gentle and virtuous, and has a clean and honest background. She is the best candidate for the Crown Princess, so there is no need to worry about this queen."

Queen Zhou still frowned: "However, it is better to be cautious when choosing a crown princess, even if the emperor wants to. However, the procedure for choosing a concubine was left by his ancestors. In the end, whether this child can be selected must be carefully examined by the palace servants."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded: "Well, I'll follow the queen."

After all, he married into the royal family, and even the selected concubines must undergo strict examinations. For example, physical examinations.

In fact, it is similar to modern premarital physical examinations. However, the medical level of the ancients before was limited, so they could only check from the appearance.

First of all, we need to check the female's physical characteristics. Her appearance is not the only standard, but also her body is well-proportioned and plump. Too thin and fat do not meet the standards. In addition, we need to check whether there is any odor on her body.

Even the elderly palace maids have to sleep with them. The purpose is to know if this woman has body odor or something. If she has it, she will be eliminated.
