The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

The honorable women of Ming Dynasty naturally had their own lives.

But basically it has nothing to do with government affairs.

As Zhu Di's eldest daughter, Zhu Yuying actually started planning for her marriage very early.

It should have been confirmed in the last two years, but there was no stability on Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Ying's cancellation of the vassal's vassal land was rather chaotic, so of course Zhu Di's thoughts were not on his daughter.

"Does my sister have a sweetheart?"

Zhu Gaochi asked directly.

He knew that the elder sister had a very good relationship with Xu Miaojin, and he must have known about Xu Miaojin's entry into the palace. Now that he brought it up, he undoubtedly took advantage of Xu Miaojin's words and transferred it to himself.

In some respects, someone like Xu Miaojin is also a free love.

In today's world where parents order matchmaker's words, it is quite special.

Most women don't even know what their future husband will look like before they get engaged, and those who are secretly in love may not be able to be together.

The love stories of men and women in novels are always just an example in today's world.

It is precisely because of this that he is sought after by many women.

Zhu Yuying just paused for a moment, then nodded her head generously.

She came here specially to find Zhu Gaochi tonight, just to ask him to help her.

In any case, Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion, and he has already been canonized by the emperor's grandfather, and the marriage has always been decided by the mother and concubine, and the father and king will probably not interfere too much.

Unless there is any purpose of marriage.

After all, he is the king of Yan, and Zhu Di doesn't need his daughter to marry to protect his status.

Zhu Yuying slowly spit out a name; "Yuan Rong."

Zhu Gaochi recalled slightly, and asked, "Is it Yuan Hong's son Yuan Rong?"

Yuan Hong is not a small person, but also one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. He first mixed with Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong.

Moreover, they belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang's confidantes, even in the historical Lanyu case, they were on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Currently serving as the governor of the post-military governor's mansion.

Zhu Gaochi also understood the difficulties of the elder sister.

Because this Yuan Rong was not Yuan Hong's eldest son, but Yuan Hong's concubine, born of Yuan Hong's concubine Liu.

The most important thing is that Yuan Hong can be regarded as half a relative of the emperor.

Because Cao Guogong Li Jingrong's wife is Yuan Hong's second daughter.

Perhaps this is why Yuan Rong was able to recognize the relationship with Zhu Di's eldest daughter, Li Yuying.

After all, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di grew up together, and they have a good relationship, even the relationship between the two families is not bad.

And the problem is also here.

Zhu Yuying is Zhu Di's eldest daughter, and she was canonized as Princess Yong'an two years ago.

As the princess, no matter how well matched, he should be Yuan Hong's direct son to be considered a barely matched family.

The status of a concubine is not compatible with the marriage of the palace.

No wonder it was Zhu Yuying who came to Zhu Gaochi for help at night.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated slightly.

Because in his current situation, it is actually not certain to tell his mother and concubine, or his father and king, about the elder sister's marriage.

But the elder sister is in such a situation now, she is obviously in love.

"Gao Chi, only you can help me with this matter now."

"I beg you, sister, can you think of a way?"

Zhu Yuying knew very well that the father and the king were going to Japan this year, but the concubine mother had already told them about the marriage two days ago.

Said that they will find a good family for them in the near future.

At that time, Zhu Yuying didn't dare to tell her concubine about Yuan Rong. Once her concubine didn't pass here, there would be no possibility.

"Sister, how do you want me to help you?"

When it came to this point, in fact, Zhu Gaochi had already guessed what the elder sister was thinking.

Instead of begging the concubine mother, she came to find herself instead, and talked about Xu Miaojin's affairs, and the answer was ready to come out.

Zhu Yuying had indeed made up her mind, and said, "Gao Chi, can you help me speak to His Royal Highness Taisun."

"If His Highness the Grandson came forward to say the last sentence, the father and mother would definitely not object."

After Zhu Gaochi listened, he was about to say yes.

This is not a big deal, considering his friendship with Zhu Ying, it is only a matter of one sentence.

But when the words came to his lips, Zhu Gaochi stopped suddenly.

Looking up at her elder sister Zhu Yuying, she asked, "Sister, didn't you come up with this idea yourself? Was it the idea of ​​that kid Yuan Rong?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something.

My eldest sister and Xu Miaojin can be regarded as boudoir friends, and they are commonly called boudoir friends in the words of later generations.

The eldest sister already knew that Xu Miaojin was entering the palace. If it was a simple marriage problem, she could ask Xu Miaojin for help.

Taisun will naturally agree.

But the elder sister found herself.

This is a little different.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, Zhu Yuying lowered her head embarrassedly.

"It's what Mr. Rong means, and it's also what I mean."

Yuan Rong is a concubine, so naturally he cannot be called Yuan, but can only be called by his name.

Zhu Gaochi also wanted to understand.

If the eldest sister asks Xu Miaojin to speak, then the grandson will naturally help solve the marriage problem.

But when you ask yourself to speak, the situation is a little different.

In view of Cao Guogong's relationship with his father, it is a bit different in nature to talk to the grandson himself in the end.

From another point of view, it is a bit like the feeling of Yan Wang's mansion asking the grandson to ask his son-in-law for an official.

Zhu Yuying wanted to use this to obtain a half-time official for Yuan Rong.

Now his father, Zhu Di, is going to take a whole family to the country of Wa. Although he has the title of princess, it is not that simple to follow the rules in the officialdom.

Yuan Hong's own eldest son is still a minor military officer, how could he go to the court to seek an official for his concubine's concubine.

What's more, according to Zhu Ying's re-established official position law, in addition to hereditary inheritance, it is not as easy as before to become an official, whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, by relying on connections.

The officials are also very nervous.

"My eldest sister has already started thinking about her future brother-in-law before she got married."

"Where did this kid Yuan Rong get his blessings in his life, and let the eldest sister let go of so many young talents, but she just fell in love with him."

Zhu Gaochi said jokingly.

There is nothing against the elder sister and Yuan Rong's careful thinking.

Using one's own relationship to seek an official position for one's husband is also a natural part.

Speaking of relying on one's own efforts, it is completely meaningless at the level of the palace. No matter how hard Yuan Rong works, he will never be able to say that he is enough for Zhu Yuying in this life.

Besides, in this world, women don't say that they can wait for others if they have their own ideas. Under the orders of their parents, there is no room for resistance.

Zhu Yuying is in a hurry to come here now, because she is afraid that the mother concubine will make a decision without paying attention, and then there will be no room for turning around.

Hearing the title brother-in-law, Zhu Yuying's face turned reddish, but at the same time, she was also happy.

This shows that his younger brother Gao Chi has already agreed to this matter, and he also recognized Yuan Rong.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say he was very familiar with him, but some rumors could be heard.

Yuan Rong, a concubine, naturally has no worries about food and clothing, and doesn't have the temperament of a playboy. He can't be said to be particularly outstanding in civil and military, but he can be regarded as passable.

The main reason is that Zhu Gaochi knew that Yuan Rong had never been to any romantic circles.

As long as the eldest sister likes it, it doesn't matter.

As Yan Wangfu, it is Yuan Rong's blessing that the elder sister marries Yuan Rong.

He was not worried about whether Yuan Rong wanted to use his elder sister to give him a position, even if he had such thoughts, it was no big deal.

As the eldest daughter of King Yan, Princess Yongcheng.

As long as the eldest sister likes it, that is enough.

Could it be that she was still worried about what kind of grievances the eldest sister would suffer when she married.

What a joke.

Although men are superior to women now, there are always some exceptions in many aspects.

This is the eldest daughter of Yan Wangfu.

Zhu Gaochi has never been worried about these aspects.

"I'll leave this to you, sister."

"If possible, I would like to ask my brother to finish it earlier, so as not to cause complications."

At this moment Zhu Yuying's tone was pleading.

This matter dragged on for a few days, and if the concubine mother and concubine made a good deal with others, everything would be turned into a dream.

"Sister, don't worry, tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to ask the grandson for help."

Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, Zhu Yuying felt relieved.

Of course, Zhu Gaochi was at ease about his eldest sister's marriage.

Early the next morning, they arrived at Kunning Palace.

According to the current two-day court meeting, there is no need for an early court today, so Zhu Ying's point is naturally in the Kunning Palace.

Now Zhu Ying is sleeping in Xu Miaojin's bedroom.

But he had a hunch that it might not be long before he would sleep alone again.

On weekdays, I still need to go to the various concubines for a walk, and I can't just say that I am pregnant and leave it alone.

But Ye Yueqing should be about the same.

Can last another month.

"His Royal Highness, the son of Prince Yan is asking to see you."

Hearing the eunuch's report, Zhu Ying smiled.

"Let him come over."

"Follow the order."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Ying asked with a smile, "Did we discuss it last night?"

Zhu Ying was talking about going to Annan.

Zhu Gaochi replied: "Brother, it's a fortune teller, my father has already agreed to let me go to Annan."

Zhu Ying nodded.

Annan should estimate that it will be almost the same next month. The Ming army led by Ye Sheng entered Duobang City, which means that Hu Jishou has nowhere to escape. Even if he escapes, it will not be a big deal.

Now is the time when Annan needs a large number of officials.

"Are you going to take the officials who went with you to the country of Wa, or are you going to stay in the country of Wa?"

Zhu Ying asked.

Zhu Gaochi replied: "Except for Xia Yuanji and others, they should all stay in Yancheng."

This can be regarded as the limit, if you really want to take away most of them, I am afraid that Zhu Di will lose his temper.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi said again: "There is one more thing I want to ask my brother."

"It's about my sister's marriage."

Zhu Ying subconsciously said: "Your sister, do you mean sister Yuying?"

For this Zhu Yuying, Zhu Ying was quite impressed.

After all, there is only one name difference between him and her.

Even if the real name is Zhu Xiongying, there is still a difference of one word.

Being able to have such a name naturally has a long history. The name Zhu Yuying was not chosen by Zhu Di or Xu Yihua.

It was given by Queen Ma in the tenth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Xiongying is the first eldest grandson.

Zhu Yuying, Zhu Di's eldest daughter, is the first eldest among all Zhu Yuanzhang's grandsons.

After Zhu Yuying was born that year, Xu Yihua asked Empress Ma to give her a name, and thus the name Zhu Yuying came into being.

Zhu Gaochi then told Zhu Ying everything about Zhu Yuying's marriage.

Even including the fact that Zhu Yuying wanted to find an official position for her future husband, she said it all out.

"Brother, it is said that women are not allowed to stay in university. I didn't feel much about it before, but now that I meet my sister, I really feel it."

"I thought that I was more important than Xu Miaojin in the elder sister's heart. Instead of looking for this friend in the boudoir, I came to look for my younger brother. It was only later that I figured out all the ways here."

"I haven't even married yet, and I've already started planning for my future brother-in-law, and I'm thinking about letting my younger brother come and tell the elder brother."

With a helpless expression on his face, Zhu Gaochi complained to Zhu Ying.

This remark is more ingenious.

Not only pointed out the relationship between Xu Miaojin and the elder sister's best friend, but also took this opportunity to express the elder sister's idea of ​​asking the elder brother-in-law for an official.

It seems that I am still standing as a victim, forced to be helpless.

This little trick, how can I hide it from Zhu Ying.

However, he would not say that he cares about this aspect.

"Okay, after all, he's also a guest of honor in Prince Yan's Mansion. It's not a problem to arrange an official position. If he is the son of Yuan Hong, it depends on which Dudu's mansion he is assigned to."

"However, your incident made me discover one thing. Is it possible that the second sons and concubines after these heroes still have a lot of idle time and have never been employed?"

After agreeing, Zhu Ying asked casually.

There are so many heroes in the founding of the Ming Dynasty now, and because the Lanyu case did not happen, there are even more names.

These days can be regarded as the Great Ming Dynasty, all of them are honorable, and no one can give birth to Ke Jin, and the children are often three, four, seven or eight.

Needless to say, the eldest son will inherit his father's title in most cases.

The second son and concubine had to find another way out.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi didn't think much about it, and replied: "Isn't it? Most of the idlers in the capital city are the second sons of nobles and concubines. Whenever there is a fight, you don't have to think about it. They made a fuss about it."

"Every family has a headache about this aspect, but there is no other way."

Small officials look down on them, but high officials cannot do it.

He has a prominent net worth, but his eyes are high and his hands are low. He is talking about the second sons and concubines in the current capital.

Most of them spend their time drinking and drinking, go to the bar to listen to music, and wait for their father to share the family property when they grow up.

After hearing this, Zhu Ying had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

These second sons and concubines are all noble descendants, and some may be more dandy, but they have all been taught by famous teachers since childhood, and have practiced martial arts since childhood.

Coupled with the fact that some things of the father's generation have been immersing in our ears, the pattern and vision are actually there.

Wouldn't it be a waste of such laissez-faire?
Now there is a shortage of talents everywhere, such as Annan and Waguo.

A little bit of experience can be of great use.

At the same time, it can also solve the headaches that the nobles are facing now, which is completely killing two birds with one stone.
