Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 810 I Want To Listen To Your High Arguments
Zhu Yijun arranged for Gao Wushi to meet Princess Yongning at Taiye Pool.

Of course, it is not swimming in Taiye Pool, but just a "coincident encounter" in Taiye Pool.

When Taiye Pool was in the Yuan Dynasty, there were only Beihai and Zhonghai, and there was no South China Sea.After Cheng Zu established Yanjing as his capital, a new imperial palace was built from the fourth year of Yongle. The palace city moved southward based on the location of the palace in the Yuan Dynasty, so the imperial city wall also moved southward.

In this way, in order to enrich the garden landscape of the imperial city, the South China Sea was excavated, and the excavated earthwork and the excavated Tongzi River were piled up to form Longevity Mountain (Jingshan, Meishan).Beihai, Zhonghai, and Nanhai are collectively referred to as "Taiye Pool" and belong to Xiyuan, the imperial city.

Gao Yushi has come to Taiyechi quite a few times, but not always with Zhu Yijun.

In fact, Zhu Yijun may not be very pragmatic when he comes here, because Taiye Pond is not in Miyagi.

Miyagi is roughly the "Forbidden City" of later generations, but there is a circle outside of Miyagi called the Imperial City. Within this circle are various prisons, factories, warehouses, and even Guanglu Temple. Including the Rites Supervisor and Yuma Supervisor, the official office locations are all within this circle.

In view of the lessons learned in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun thought of a reason and method this time: first let Zhu Yaoyu go there by himself to visit Xiyuan, and then he went there with a high level of pragmatism in the name of inspecting the "Wanli Type One Bayonet Type Musket". After the military battle, Gao Yushi can "chance encounter" Princess Yongning in Zhonghai or Beihai.

The prerequisite here is that the location of the Bingzhan Bureau is very good-sandwiched between the northern part of Zhonghai and the northwest corner of Miyagi.

Gao Pragmatism's evaluation of this is: Zhu Yijun's anti-reconnaissance capabilities have been significantly and steadily improved a lot.

Because of talking about things along the way, and also talking about the need for moderate exercise for gout, Zhu Yijun temporarily decided to walk the whole way. Gao Yushi welcomes this very much-although he can only walk after entering the palace, but overall, the exercise opportunity after returning to Beijing Rarely, it is a good thing to be able to take a walk.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I got married a long time ago, but you haven't married yet. To be practical, do you pay the fine every year in full?"

Gao Wushi also laughed, and said: "Hahahaha, I was fined 17 Wen when I was [-] years old, and [-] Wen was fined when I was admitted to the imperial examination. Although I was an official outside last year, the magistrate of Xinzheng still refused to let it go, so I was fined again. I have [-] wen... I guess I didn't run away this year, so I got [-] wen."

"Look at you, I can tell you about this matter. You know the meaning of Emperor Taizu's regulations, but you don't want to be honest and get married earlier. Why delay? Look at me, This incident is an example for the world, you, the leader, can't hold back."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "Isn't this...things are difficult to handle."

Zhu Yijun said that Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, well, this matter is actually not only Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, in fact, there have been regulations on fines for late marriages in all dynasties.

Since the Han Dynasty, the age for women to marry has been stipulated. At that time, if a girl is over 15 years old and does not marry, then the family will be fined 600 yuan a year until the age of 30, and over 30 years old... Uh, this is the default If there is no hope of marrying in, there will be no punishment.

In the Tang Dynasty, men over 20 years old and women over 15 years old were fined if they were not yet married. In the Song Dynasty, it was earlier and earlier, men were 15 years old and women were 13 years old.

In the Ming Dynasty, I probably felt that this was too young, so I added one year to each of them. The male was sixteen, that is, the age of "Cheng Ding", and the female was fourteen, the age of Jiji. Last year, Zhu Yao'e was canonized as the eldest princess of Shouyang. And the wedding is at this age, this year Zhu Yao canonized as Princess Yongning and arranged the wedding, also at this age.

Zhu Yijun got married as early as the sixth year of Wanli, when he was only 15 years old, a year earlier.Gao Gong was still alive at the time, and he expressed opposition on behalf of the cabinet, believing that marriage should be at the age of 16.But at that time, the two palaces were the masters, and they said that the purpose was to establish the foundation of the country earlier—that is, to continue the emperor. The cabinet discussed it and felt that since this was the case, it would not be a big problem a few months earlier, so it was decided. .

The cabinet rarely compromised with the emperor on matters related to the system. Needless to say, why did the cabinet not insist on this issue?Because in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, early marriage is not against the law, but late marriage is against the law. The source of this is still the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang may have a certain obsession with having children. He always feels that having more children is more blessings. Not only did he practice it himself, but a group of children were born before his death. The more the better, even monks and nuns.

For example, he once issued an order that no man over the age of 20 can become a monk.

Why?Because in the early days of the establishment of Ming Dynasty, the country’s economy was depressed, and many places had vast land and resources, but no one developed them. At this time, it was necessary to prohibit those young and middle-aged men from becoming monks, not to produce, but to work in the fields, in order to promote the economy. increase.

And as we all know, after becoming a monk, there will be no births (well, normally), which will reduce the growth of the population, so let them actively create population for the country at the best age of 20 years old.

Of course, this is only a system for men. However, having a child is a matter for two people. It is not enough to have a man, but a woman. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered Ming women to be over 40 years old. A nun, a 40-year-old woman, can still stick to the rules and keep the rules.

In the end, something even more funny happened. Not long after the decree was issued, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that women still have the ability to bear children when they are 40 years old-damn it is a loss!
So with a big wave of his hand again, the age standard for women to be allowed to be nuns was changed to over 59 years old-if you have the ability, you can give me a child when you are 60 years old?
When Zhu Yijun heard him say "it's not easy", he was a little surprised, and asked, "What's so difficult about it? With your family background and talent, learning and character, which lady you want to marry can't marry?"

Gao Wushi scratched his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's not a matter of marrying or not, it's about the girl I like, and my parents don't seem to like it."

Zhu Yijun was surprised and said: "How can you say that you have your fancy? Where did you see it... Wait, you don't want to say that you saw it in the place of fireworks?"

"No, no." Gao Wushi waved his hands again and again: "I have never been to the place of fireworks. That girl is in Guangxi. I don't know if the emperor has any impression. It is the chieftain of the Huang family, named Huang Zhiting."

Zhu Yijun was even more surprised: "You actually took a fancy to a chieftain?" Then he thought for a while, opened his eyes wide and said: "No, you took a fancy to him and sent him to a place like Annan ?”

This... the smoky place in your eyes is a good place in my opinion.

Of course, it goes without saying, Gao Yushi said with a serious face: "This is a national matter, and it is not allowed to harm each other's private affairs."

Zhu Yijun was stunned, looked into Gao Yushi's eyes for a while, saw his calm and even resolute face, couldn't help being moved, and did another "unpretentious" thing, stretched out his hand and patted Gao Yushi's shoulder, saying: " It is my blessing to have a good minister like this.”

Gao Wushi was about to express a few words of loyalty, but Zhu Yijun said again: "However, if you have a bad opinion of a girl, but you like a chieftain, I can understand that your family is not happy about this matter, after all With your Xinzheng Gao clan's family status, the chieftain's family, it is far behind... Think about it, your Gao family has Gao Wenzhenggong."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although the Gao family is not worthy of descendants, I don't think that the chieftain's daughter is not worthy of the Gao family."

Zhu Yijun was surprised, and turned his eyes to ask: "Is that so? Then I want to hear your high opinion."

Thanks to book friends "zhou4770" and "Shan Qi Zhao Bi Xin" for their monthly ticket support, thank you!By the way, I will correct a bug: I have been ill for the past two days, and my mind is dizzy. Before that, I took the time of the provincial examination as the general examination. The rural examination should be Qiuwei. Dealing with Mongolian affairs, and then presiding over Shanxi Qiuwei after finishing the work. Of course, the tenth year of Wanli is indeed the year of the rural examination, which is correct.The description is hereby corrected.
