Chapter 4: The Big Wedding

The wedding of King Xin was held at the end of 1624 when the eunuch party was rampant in the capital and caused trouble to the world.

It was moved on the 25th day of November 2018, the fourth year of the Tianqi period;

The crown is held at noon on the eighth day of the twelfth month; the registration is issued at the 16th day; the bed is set on the 21st day.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Tianqi, the meeting opened at Mao hour; on the third day of the second month, the wedding was welcomed by King Xin, and the marriage was taken from the palace to get married. On the fifth day of the second month, hundreds of officials came to the palace to congratulate him, and on the sixth day of the second month, they celebrated the temple with the princess. The middle span was actually two months, and Zhu Yinglong was like a wooden man, so he didn't want to take the initiative. He really couldn't stand these cumbersome rules, so he just let it go.

The four joys of life are: a long drought and a long drought, a golden list title, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a wedding candle, a day he will not have to worry about food and clothing, and he may not be able to enjoy it for the time being, a golden list title, no need to think about this, Zhu Yinglong has no such share, a foreign place meets an old friend, but people are considered old friends, but they are old friends, but they can make up for the trauma of his soul. I didn't expect that he would marry a wife one day, and there were only three in a single marriage, which was like a dream.

Zhu Yinglong, wearing a big red auspicious suit, was stunned under the lamp. Although he had never fulfilled his family, he had been married for nearly two months. Zhu Yinglong and the three girls were already familiar with each other. Historical books did not deceive him. The three girls were all rare in nature, especially Tian, ​​whose beauty was slightly above Zhou and Ye. He was born with beautiful appearance and beautiful beauty. If Zhu Yinglong had not taken into consideration that his body was only fifteen years old, with his mature mind at the age of twenty-five in the future, he would have been unable to help but have a rainy relationship with the three girls.

Today, Zhu Yinglong also took three princesses to officially move into the Xinwang Mansion. Empress Zhang also pointed out her confidant eunuch Wang Chengen to Zhu Youjian, the palace maids of Xuqin Palace, and the eunuch Yiyingren, etc., all of them were included in the current Xinwang Mansion.

He began to worry on the first night of staying. According to the wedding rules, he should stay in the room of his concubine Zhou Yingning on the first night, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and indulge in the desires of men and women, which led to the situation he was stunned under the lamp just now.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest!" Yanhong's little face flushed reminded the silly Zhu Yinglong. As the personal maid of King Xin, she has the responsibility to remind the young prince that in the smoky palace, she has long been familiar with men and women. As the saying goes, love has taken place over time, and the little girl has already tied a thread of love to the young prince. The hazy thing is just that she didn't notice it herself. Zhu Yinglong had already seen it, but he knew that this girl liked Zhu Youjian, the former King Xin, and not the current one, so Zhu Yinglong could only smile bitterly in his heart and responded vaguely to Yanhong's reminder.

The little girl left the palace, became much more free and had no more scruples in her actions. Seeing that her responsibilities had been fulfilled, she went out first. There were only Zhu Yinglong sitting at the table with a headache and a beautiful and dignified girl sitting next to the dragon and phoenix bed. She saw tears on her cheeks. She must have felt helpless about her fate. The girl was in love with her and she wanted to marry a good husband, but in the end she married a dazed husband. Although she was the princess, her lifelong happiness was over?

After deciding, Zhu Yinglong stood up. He was still young and should not do anything about men and women. He would wait two years before talking. With two years, he would cultivate his feelings first. It would be easy to make the three girls fall in love with him with his own abilities. Although he also thought about the three palaces and six courtyards, he had to have the capital to enjoy it. So he resolutely suppressed his body's yu-looking moment, walked to Zhou Yingning calmly, gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and said gently: "You sleep alone tonight, I will go to the study." After saying that, he did not explain much, opened the door and walked out, leaving the lovely Zhou Yingning sitting in the room at a loss.

The breath of early spring was still a little wet. Zhu Yinglong took a deep breath. He had already been familiar with the Xinwang Mansion. When he walked into his study, it should be the study of his uncle Huiwang and lit the candle. Although he had been here many times, this study was the first time. The interior was cleaned and spotless. He walked to his own position to sit down. This was a round chair. The furniture industry of the Ming Dynasty was world-famous. The round chair was a unique furniture in the Ming Dynasty. Many chairs in later generations were designed with round chairs as a model.

Looking at the bookshelf, all of them are Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, some sub-collections, and several famous historical books. What Zhu Yinglong hated most in later generations was Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism's theory of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires", which simply castrated the true theory of Confucianism. The weakness of the Song Dynasty had a considerable relationship with this castrated Confucianism, and even affected the Ming and Qing dynasties. The notorious eight-legged essay was the biggest poison to restrain scholars' thoughts. Zhu Cheng and the two of them were really guilty of great crimes, so Zhu Yinglong didn't look at them, but went to search for books such as monsters. After searching for a long time, he found a book called "Shan Hai Jing". There was no way, so he just read it word by word under the lamp. Before he could read a page, he yawned and fell asleep on the table.

When he woke up, he was refreshed, the candles were burned out, and it was dawn. Zhu Yinglong practiced a set of Tai Chi in the yard. He had been attained for four or five years. With one round and one round, he had already deeply rooted in the three flavors of Tai Chi. Unfortunately, I don’t know if there is real internal strength in this world. Tai Chi is an internal skill that nourishes qi, and he is quite delicious, but he has not had the so-called qi before. However, this is a very good set of fitness skills. With it, within a year, his thin body can make a good progress. At least he will not take a few steps and he will feel a little breath.

"Prince, good boxing skills!" Zhu Yinglong was concentrating on boxing, and never noticed that there was one more person behind him. He was shocked and regretted that he was complacent and his vigilance decreased. When he turned around, he saw that it was Wang Chengen, and he was relieved. Wang Chengen was a loyal eunuch in history. Among so many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, he was quite good. He was still the confidant of Queen Zhang and was not in harmony with Wei Zhongxian. This person could be used. Zhu Yinglong thought quickly in his heart. Today, this scene had been seen by him. It would be bad if he pretended to be stupid and concealed. Besides, he still had no one who could truly trust and patience. It was hard to cook without rice. Zhu Yinglong knew that if he did not create a team that was loyal to him, let alone changing history, it would be hard to say that he could save his life, because Zhu Youjian in history had become him.

"Did you see it?" Zhu Yinglong said coldly.

Wang Chengen was also shocked when he saw Zhu Yinglong's boxing style. He had never heard that King Xin could do martial arts. He unconsciously praised him. In his opinion, King Xin in front of him suddenly seemed to have changed a different person. His childish face suddenly showed maturity that was inconsistent with his age. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He seemed to think of something. He knelt down and said in a hurry: "I saw it."

"What do you think of this king's boxing technique?" Zhu Yinglong asked lightly.

The calmer it was, the more terrifying it was. Wang Chengen actually had a layer of sweat on his forehead in front of such a young prince. This was never seen before. Even in front of Queen Zhang, he never felt it like this. He was roasted by fire and lowered his head and said, "Although the prince's boxing technique is good, it is flashy and unrealistic and practical."

Zhu Yinglong knew what Wang Chengen was thinking, but he could actually clearly state that he had a better impression and even more conquered, saying, "I guess you have guessed something, I want to know, who will tell what you saw today?"

Wang Chengen didn't understand that he was a fool at this time. He also knew that although he was the eunuch in front of the queen, he was pointed out to King Xin by the queen. King Xin was his future master. He should understand who he should be loyal to. He hurriedly said: "I will not tell anyone. I will only obey you, Prince."

Smart and knowledgeable about the current affairs, Zhu Yinglong knew that a person like Wang Chengen could not be subdued at once. In fact, he knew that at most he would go back and tell Queen Zhang. Queen Zhang knew that she would keep it in her heart, and would not go out to talk nonsense, nor would she tell Wei Zhongxian. So he was more at ease and said with a smile: "Get up, don't call yourself a 'slave' in the future. I don't like these two words."

"I, I know." Wang Chengen stood up, guessing that King Xin's dementia was pretending to be, and actually concealed everyone. The young prince's scheming was too deep. Wang Chengen felt cold in his heart, and stood aside respectfully. After being in the palace for so long, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered something, that is, it is rumored in unofficial history that after Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, the silver found in the inner treasury was more than 30 million taels and more than 1 million taels of gold. However, Emperor Chongzhen raised food and money from the ministers and relatives to defend the city. Logically speaking, there is so much money in the inner treasury, and it is not necessary to do so. It is probably unreliable. According to Zhu Yinglong, the money was probably squandered by Wei Zhongxian for a long time. Later generations forced Zhu Youjian to commit a crime of greed for money and destruction of the country. Anyway, he was the king of the country who destroyed the country, and there was nothing more charges, and asked: "Thank you?"

"The slave is here!"

"Do you know how much rewards are there for this king's wedding, the officials' congratulations and the palace?"

"Three thousand four hundred and two pieces of silk, silk and satin, three hundred and eighty-four pieces of jewelry and jade, one hundred and three thousand taels of silver, three thousand taels of gold..."

Zhu Yinglong was startled by the numbers that Wang Chengen said. He had so much money at once and said, "In addition to these, how much does the imperial court give me every year?"

"Ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand stones of rice, twenty pieces of brocade, fifty pieces of silk, fifty pieces of yarn, fifty pieces of yarn, fifty pieces of cloth, five hundred pieces of cloth in winter and summer, two hundred pieces of salt, thousands of kilograms of flowers, and five hundred kilograms of horse and grass per month..."

"So many?" Zhu Yinglong said in horror.

"The prince is in the palace and the internal supervisor is responsible for supplying all the fees, but when they come out, it will be different. Except for the eunuchs assigned by the court and the palace maids with responsibilities, all the fees are extracted by the prince. Now there are only three princesses. If the prince takes a few more concubines in the future, these may not be enough. However, when the prince has a fief, he will not be afraid, and he can raise even more people." Wang Chengen explained.

Yes, if you don’t have the power to be a boss, you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. It seems that it’s piled up like a mountain. This is like flowing water, so you wave your hand and ask him to do your own business first. He has to think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and building his own team will definitely cost a lot of money. Unfortunately, although he is a chemistry student, he has devoted all his energy to writing in the past two years. He can’t remember many things for a while, but he still remembers that it’s just some methods of steel making. Could it be that he can open a blacksmith shop first? This thing makes money by making guns and cannons, and also makes money by building machinery. I don’t know what the structure of a steam engine is. Although he knows the principle, it doesn’t take time.

He was asked to study it, but it was probably not a big deal to build rakes, hoes, scissors, etc., but without this foundation, even if things are invented in the future, it would be a joke. Zhu Yinglong also wanted to build an invincible army with all new firearm equipment, so this steelmaking and ironmaking really had to be done, but who should I leave it to? Zhu Yinglong was worried. He might not be able to manipulate it himself. He had to find a partner. He should be loyal and reliable, and it would be better to be more flexible. Zhu Yinglong now knows that it is not so easy to do things, and it is often much more complicated, but it may also be that he is too impatient.

"Prince, the three princesses ask you to have breakfast!" The tiny red figure suddenly appeared in Zhu Yinglong's sight.

"Okay, I'll go now." Zhu Yinglong responded casually and followed Yanhong's footsteps to the dining hall.

There were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and the upper seat was empty, probably for Zhu Yinglong. The three women sat in a row. Although they were young, they were all beautiful women. In another year or two, they would definitely be more beautiful and charming. Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but feel happy. Although this marriage was not independent of both parties, Zhu Yinglong fell in love with the three women as soon as he saw Tian Shulan's gentleness, Ye Lianyi's indifference, and Zhou Yingning's charming charm. If you count the slimness of the bright red, you can

Zhu Yinglong sat down and picked up the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, but the three girls didn't move at all. It was strange. Didn't they ask themselves to have breakfast? Why did they have already done it? They didn't move, so they put down the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Zhou Yingning. The girl's eyes were red and she must have cried again. Ye Lianyi looked straight and looked at Zhu Yinglong directly. Tian Shulan kept paying attention to Zhu Yinglong, but Zhou Yingning and Ye Lianyi didn't move the chopsticks, so she naturally couldn't move.

"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yinglong asked in surprise.

Silence or silence, Zhu Yinglong began to regret coming to use this breakfast, but the three girls are now his wives, so he couldn't leave them alone. He first said to Zhou Yingning: "Ying Ning, you are my prince's concubine. Tell me what's wrong with you?"

The three girls had three thoughts, and naturally refused to say it in front of others. It was all because of Zhu Yinglong's mistake. Even if he asked this, he would not have an answer next year, and he had no intention of using breakfast. He called Yanhong and asked the maid to send the three girls to their respective rooms, and the breakfast was also brought over.

Wang Chengen came to report that Li Youlin, a Shuji Shishi of the Hanlin Academy, came to report that he was here to give lectures to King Xin. Zhu Yinglong had to cheer up and deal with Wei Zhongxian's people. However, Li Youlin was really noisy, greedy and lustful, and she was talking about Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and Confucius and Mencius's ways. If it weren't for his hard background, Zhu Yinglong would have kicked him into the gutter.

After hearing Li Youlin's nagging for more than an hour, Zhu Yinglong began to automatically filter his voice in both ears. He couldn't hear anything he said, and he didn't understand what he said. Perhaps Li Youlin also knew that his letter to Wang Daishao was not good, and he didn't mind. He talked about him, and Zhu Yinglong was thinking about him randomly below, without interfering with each other, and he was calm.

After finally being bombarded by Li Youlin, a lackey of eunuchs, he didn't come every day. Although the Hanlin Academy was a Qingshui Yamen, he naturally didn't want to stay there for the rest of his life. He was unwilling to transfer him to the Xinwang Mansion to give a hundred lectures to Xinwang, but he had no choice but to move him to the ups and downs!

What class was taken by Li Youlin? Zhu Yinglong was thinking about the three daughters. This was the wife he married to the family. Although he had no feelings for him now, he would definitely not be able to neglect the beauty. So after class, he went to Zhou Yingning's room to have a good talk with her. The days ahead will be long, so he doesn't want a fire in his backyard.

Zhou Yingning also had her own dowry maid, a girl named Qiao'er. When she saw Zhu Yinglong walking in, she walked out automatically and brought the door to them.

The breakfast on the table did not move at all, and Zhu Yinglong couldn't help feeling distressed. He was in his teenage years, so how could he not eat? He said, "My dear concubine, people are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, why don't you eat?"

This is a sentence that later generations often say to persuade people to eat. Zhu Yinglong said it without thinking. However, in the eyes of people of this era, they have never heard of such a vivid metaphor, which immediately attracted Zhou Yingning's attention and thought to himself, how could a prince who was said to be stupid by people to say such a incisive sentence? Seeing the little girl looking at him in surprise, Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but beat and scold him, his mouth was too fast, but this sentence made Zhou Yingning completely change his view of Zhu Yinglong and said softly: "The prince is caring, I am grateful."

"You and I are husband and wife, why don't you be grateful? I have someone warm up these meals for you again. How about having a meal with you?" In Zhu Yinglong's eyes, Zhou Yingning in front of him was a beautiful little girl. Even though she knew she was her wife, she always felt that she should be her sister. Maybe she didn't change her mind for a while, Zhu Yinglong explained to herself.

Zhou Yingning's body was thinner than herself, and she suddenly felt pity in her heart. She walked over and hugged Zhou Yingning in her arms. When she started with her hands, she suddenly felt cold and her love even more. She put it into her brocade clothes to keep warm.

Zhou Yingning didn't expect Zhu Yinglong to act like this. When she fell in love, she was hugged by a man in her arms. Her delicate face turned red and she was very moved. However, Zhu Yinglong's strength was much bigger than her, a little beauty who was almost hungry, so she had to have such a closest contact with Zhu Yinglong. Zhu Yinglong was not flirting with her. It was one of the factors that made her feel at ease to let Zhu Yinglong hug her. At least the other party was not an impatient person.

Zhu Yinglong almost coaxed and deceived Zhou Yingning and asked Zhou Yingning to drink two bowls of white porridge. The relationship between the two suddenly became closer. Zhou Yingning also knew that her husband was not a foolish person rumored outside, and her resentment disappeared immediately.

Tian Shulan is much more docile than Zhou Yingning. Although this versatile girl in history has been infinitely favored by Chongzhen, she is favored and charming. Zhu Yinglong doesn't want this scene to happen to him. In fact, it's not her fault. If she changes the environment, she should be a good wife and mother. Zhu Yinglong wants that environment. In this time and space, there is a giant standing in the east in the world.

The only thing that made Zhu Yinglong worry is Ye Lianyi. There is no description of this woman in history books. Seeing that he is so indifferent to him, he must be a woman surnamed Lie. He has not been sure whether he has the ability to turn this piece of Bailian steel into a finger-curing circle. However, he still has to bite the bullet and go there. She is not like Zhou and Tian Ernest. She ate breakfast, and she ate very cleanly. She practiced swords in the yard where she lives. This scared Zhu Yinglong and stopped to watch it. It was much better than her own flower fists and embroidered legs. Seeing the light, it was cold and cold, like flying flowers chasing the moon. Ye Lianyi could actually lift seven or eight feet into the air, pulling five or six sword flowers before falling.

Zhu Yinglong was shocked. When he saw the legendary light skills, the person he used was his wife. Zhu Yinglong began to wonder if this was the late Ming era in history. Perhaps this was a different time and space, but it was exactly the same as the late Ming era.

"Prince, peeking at others' martial arts practice is a taboo for those who learn martial arts!" Zhu Yinglong was stunned, not paying attention to Ye Lianyi standing in front of him, looking at him with a frost on his face.

Damn, I am her husband at least, why did she talk to her husband like this? She said unhappily: "I am your husband. Can a husband not be able to see his wife practicing martial arts?"

"No, unless I get my permission, even the emperor will not do it." Ye Lianyi said coldly.

What a big tone. I really don’t know that the world is so high that this girl is afraid that she will cause trouble for herself sooner or later, so she said lightly: “Being presumptuous, follow your husband when you get married, follow your three and four virtues, your grandfather hasn’t taught you, right?”

"I, Ye Lianyi, have always been avenging my enemies. I don't know what the three followers and four virtues are!" Ye Lianyi raised her mouth and said.

"Since you don't know this, how could you be chosen and marry me as your concubine!" Zhu Yinglong asked.

"I am happy." Ye Lianyi sneered.

Zhu Yinglong's nose was so angry that the chief assistant Ye Xiang was respectful. Although his talent was limited, he was still considered a virtuous person. How could he have such a arrogant granddaughter who was planning to leave without a smile?

"stop!"

"What's the matter if you call me?" Zhu Yinglong frowned.

"The day after tomorrow, I will go and send my grandfather back to my hometown. They said that if they want to go out, they will get your approval first."

"It's accurate." Zhu Yinglong said without thinking, it's better not to come back and leave without looking back.

"Miss, is he the prince?" Ye Lianyi's maid Meier said worriedly.

"What's wrong with the prince? I..." Ye Lianyi suddenly closed her mouth because she saw Zhu Yinglong turning back.

Regarding Ye Xianggao and Zhu Yinglong wanted to meet him alone, a civil servant actually cultivated such a carefree and powerful granddaughter. There must be some unknown secrets. He also wanted to know what was surprising about the timely rain recorded by the eunuch party. So he turned back and threw down his sentence: "The King of Japan will go with you later!"

"Miss, if you see the prince in the future, do you want to call him "I am a girl"?" Mei'er reminded.

"What should I call it?"

"You should call it 'consum'."

"I am a concubine, not a concubine, why should I call myself that? Wouldn't that belittle myself?"

I don’t know how Zhu Yinglong would feel when he heard this sentence, but maybe he would sigh. It’s really a little girl movie with a not-so-experienced mind. His mind has not yet developed completely.
