Chapter 447 Marriage Events
The results of the general examination will be released, and then the palace examination should be arranged.

But because Zhu Houzhao was not in the capital, even if the imperial court wanted to arrange this palace examination, it would be unfair.

The emperor is in Beijing, so if he doesn’t take the palace examination in person, it can be concealed from the outside world. Anyway, the examinees may not have the courage to look up that day, and they can’t see anything from a distance, but now the whole world knows that the emperor is in Nanjing. If you hold the palace examination again, then this group of Jinshi It is not a "student of the son of heaven", it would be ridiculous to say this.

The next two days.

Those who were on the list of the general examination were all asking when the palace examination would be held. Judging from the current situation, they had to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing.

"After the exam, you're just a tribute. It doesn't count as a formal pass, so you just hang in the middle like this?" Jiang Lun went out to inquire about the news and came back. When he arrived at the teahouse where Tang Yin was, he sat down and said, immediately feeling a lot of emotion .

Tang Yin picked up the teacup and looked at Zhu Hao who was talking to Sun Ru and Gongsun Yi at the other table.

Both Gongsun Yi and Sun Ru were not on the list in this test, and it seems that they should go back to their hometown to prepare for the exam, but Zhu Hao seems to want to keep them in the capital for his own use.

"Wait patiently." Tang Yin took a sip of tea, suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted, "Dude, bring another pot of tea, it's getting cold!"

On the other side, Lu Song also came back to inquire about the news.

Jiang Lun asked, "Did your Majesty have anything to say when he returned to Beijing?"

Lu Song shook his head, then glanced at Zhu Hao, turned around, and said: "Now there is a lot of rumors about a thirteen-year-old boy in Huguang who passed the Huiyuan exam. Many people are asking about Zhu Hao. The situation, I want to come to him to compete and learn."

Holding the newly replaced teapot, Tang Yin sighed: "This kind of thing is not uncommon in all dynasties... Besides, didn't you experience this before in the child's entrance examination and college entrance examination?"

When he was young, Tang Yin also suffered from all kinds of doubts and difficulties because of his status as Xieyuan in Nanzhili. Now it's Zhu Hao's turn... I feel the same for a moment.

Jiang Lun looked disdainful: "If you don't accept it, let them come, beat them until they have teeth all over the place."

Tang Yin said: "Meng Zai, you should know that since ancient times, there has been no one in literature, and no one in martial arts. Sometimes it is difficult to judge the level of literary talent rationally. Because of this, various disputes arise, and scholars are not convinced by each other... That's it, let Zhu Haoshao go out and let him teach the son of the world with peace of mind."

Jiang Lun laughed and said: "That's true. Now that Mr. Zhu has passed the general examination, he will wait for the Jinshi examination in the palace examination. It can be said that there is nothing to do. It would be great to teach my eldest nephew. By the way, Brother Tang, I told you I said, find a well-matched lady from a well-known family for my nephew..."

Tang Yin shook his head: "Where can I find out? It's better to ask more."

……

……

Back to private house.

Tang Yin directly told Zhu Hao about his idea of ​​finding a suitable marriage partner for Zhu Si.

Zhu Hao said, "Are you also discussing this with me?"

The implication is that I am just a child, as old as Shizi, and I am not Shizi's, so why do you ask me about such things?
Tang Yinyu said earnestly: "You are not young anymore, and besides, you are about to enter the imperial court and take charge of your own affairs. It is good to listen to your opinion on such matters."

Zhu Haodao: "I heard that King Xing intends to take Anlu Sun's daughter into the mansion and make him a princess for his son?"

"Hehe, you know all about this?"

Tang Yin said cheerfully.

This matter is not a secret in Xing Wangfu.

When Zhu Youzhao was alive before, he heard that Sun Jiao, the elder of the three dynasties, had a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, skilled in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was even more decent in speech and behavior. He intended to marry her back as his daughter-in-law, but Sun Jiao refused.

The Sun family is one of the most famous families in Anlu, but they don't want to get involved with Xingwang's mansion.

This incident actually existed in history, and Sun Jiao also refused at the time.

"I have a daughter, and Emperor Xian wants to hire her as a concubine. She said, 'Your Majesty, I am very kind, but my daughter does not want to accept the palace. Feel guilty about it.”

But after Zhu Houcong became emperor, Sun Jiao realized the seriousness of the situation. If he had agreed to this marriage, even if it was just a marriage contract, his daughter was also the queen and he was the head of the country, and now he would be harmed by it... He felt that this matter would be harmful to the Sun family. The impact is huge, and it is likely to be gossiped.

As a result, "his daughter died without remarrying".

It was tantamount to rejecting the good intentions of Prince Xing's Mansion. Later, when the emperor was born in Prince Xing's Mansion, Sun Jiao was afraid and did not dare to let his daughter marry again... It was in vain that he harmed his daughter's lifelong happiness.

Tang Yin said: "Times have passed, and now the eldest son is still in mourning, so we shouldn't have talked about marriage, but because he is isolated and helpless in the court, making the marriage contract earlier may help him out of trouble."

Zhu Hao nodded: "The meaning of the Xing Palace is not to find the daughter of an ordinary nobleman, but the daughter of an old minister who can speak well in the court?"

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, as if he was inspired by Zhu Hao's words.

He hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it, Concubine Jiang secretly confessed to her younger brother that she wanted to marry a famous lady in the capital, but she was actually looking for someone to be her son's backer. The power is huge, and it may help his son to bail out.

"It's hard to find such a famous lady."

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed.

Tang Yin said angrily: "I'm asking you for your opinion, not to make you talk about frustration."

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "In my opinion, it's useless to be anxious now, and it's useless to find anyone. The Xingwang Mansion is in an embarrassing situation. Ministers with a certain status and status in the court will not think about marrying with the Xing Wang Mansion, even if they have already retired. Even Sun Lao's family doesn't want to get involved with Xing Wang's mansion, would those high-flying ministers be so ignorant? Or do you think that the daughter of an ordinary family would be favored by the concubine?"

After all, it's a truth, if you can't get high, you can't get low.

"If you really want to have an effect, it's better to use a sword."

Just when Tang Yin thought there was nothing he could do, Zhu Hao suddenly mentioned for no reason, "The Zhang family... has a very good position in the court, why don't you think about it?"

Tang Yin was startled for a moment, not wanting to know which "Zhang family" it was. After thinking about it, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and immediately scolded: "You kid just likes to stir up muddy waters. Brothers of the Zhang family have a lot of notoriety. You are watching the fun Don't think it's a big deal... Forget it, let's pretend I never asked you about it!"

When Tang Yin left, Zhu Hao twitched his mouth and muttered to himself: "This matter really can't be resolved, unless you listen to me and marry the Zhang family, or wait for that person in the south to seek his own death, and wait for him to die , you don’t have to worry about this marriage anymore, just wait for the selection of the queen.”

……

……

Zhu Houcong in history did become emperor before he got married.

This should not be something that Zhu Hao should worry about. He should wait for Zhu Houcong to ascend the throne before considering lifelong events. At that time, there will be no need for any famous family to boost Zhu Houcong's prestige in the court. .

Zhu Hao went to teach Zhu Si.

Zhu Si was sullen, and threw aside the teaching materials Zhu Hao had prepared for him: "Zhu Hao, I don't want to learn anymore, I want to go home!"

In front of Zhu Hao, Zhu Si didn't hide his likes and dislikes at all.

Zhu Hao put down the lesson plan and said, "This is not something you can decide. If you go back to Anlu without saying a word, it will be against the holy will and the consequences will be serious."

"I'm not afraid, at most it's death! Now that I'm like this, death is worse than death!"

Zhu Si began to lose his temper.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, your child's outlook on life is immature, do you know what life is better than death?

Zhu Hao said: "Let me tell you something. Now the princess wants to choose a concubine for you, so that you can make an engagement earlier. Maybe you can feel at ease after getting married."

Hearing this news, Zhu Si's small eyes really had a gleam of brilliance, and he asked, "Who?"

"I don't know yet, do you have your own ideas?"

Like a friend, Zhu Hao asked Zhu Si for his opinion.

Zhu Si finally had a smile on his face, and he said with longing: "I want to find a pretty girl, preferably one who can play with me, who has a good smile, and who has dimples is the best, and who can talk to me... By the way, Zhu Hao, when we went out together last time, I saw a beautiful woman, and I wanted to ask who she was, but unfortunately, I never saw her again."

Zhu Hao nodded.

It seems that Zhu Si's view of choosing a mate is normal, and he has never thought about gaining any benefits from marriage, and only cares about what he likes.

Who said that Sichun is a girl's patent?

Spring is here, and even a thirteen-year-old boy like Zhu Si begins to have someone he likes.

"Then you, just look at the other person's good looks? Don't care about her background?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Si nodded first, then moved his head closer, stared at Zhu Hao eagerly, and asked, "By the way, the actress who sang the white snake hasn't married yet, right? Where is she?"

One question left Zhu Hao confused.

It turns out that Zhu Si has always been thinking about Gongyeling?
Thinking about it, Zhu Sishao didn't care about anything back then, and was fascinated by "The Legend of the White Snake". Seeing the heroine in the play was simply a distant dream. Now that he has grown up, he can finally talk about marriage. Less than something.

Zhu Hao thought about it carefully, is Gong Yeling a beauty?

Barely calculate it!

But definitely not the standout kind.

Besides, Gong Yeling is not young now, and has not yet married in his twenties, because he is Le Ji, so he doesn't have to worry about being fined by the government for not marrying over twenty. Among so many people under her command, she is the one who lives the most unrestrained life.

In later generations, it is common for a woman in her twenties not to marry, but in this era, it is really rare.

"She... is in Anlu." Zhu Hao replied.

Zhu Si said happily: "Is she not married? Can you write a letter and let her come to the capital? I have no other ideas. If she can sing for me, I can see her often, so I have no regrets."

Zhu Hao thought to himself, I can't let you find a woman ten years older than you, just like your grandfather, who will harm you, right?

"Okay, I'll write a letter to ask later, I'm not sure, but you have to study hard recently, and try to show a wise look when you usually go out to play, so as to win people's hearts."

Before Zhu Hao fully agreed, he began to make demands.

Zhu Si nodded again and again: "Okay, I will listen to you."
