Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 157 I Disagree
After everyone returned to work, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and found Li Wei's figure at the end of many officials, and snorted softly.

"Your Majesty, the fourth princess is now fourteen years old and should be canonized. According to the etiquette, Your Majesty and the Queen must be enthroned in the Qianqing Palace on that day. The female envoys will be conferred and sent to the Huagai Hall. The princess should wear the Jiuhui Four Phoenix Crown, Zhai Standing in robes and waiting in the west of the Huagai Hall, standing facing east, the ceremony of receiving the registration is performed. After the ceremony, go to Qianqing Palace to express gratitude..."

Ge Si roughly explained the etiquette process of canonizing princesses to Zhu Yuanzhang. There were already two princesses in Lin'an and Ningguo, and these etiquette systems were basically referenced. There was no need for major changes, and basically no one raised any opinions.

Li Wei stood at the end bored, listening to these half-understood procedures, which was more annoying than the leadership's annual meeting. Isn't it just a coming-of-age ceremony, where you can eat and drink, but it makes it so troublesome? It's really!

"Your Majesty, this is the candidate for horse attachment drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. There are three candidates in total. One is Lu Xian, son of Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an. The second is Wang Ning, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion. The third is Ouyang Lun, the Gongsheng of the Imperial Academy. Please take a look at it."

Luo Si presented the candidates for the consort whom the Ministry of Rites had worked so hard to select.

Li Wei, who was staying up at the end, was shocked when he heard this. He pulled Mao Buquan next to him and asked in a low voice: "Master Mao, wasn't he canonized as a princess? Why did he choose the consort again?"

Mao Buquan glanced at him and ignored him.

"Speak!" Li Wei said again.

Mao Buquan was shaken by the pull. In order to avoid being discovered, he had no choice but to whisper to him impatiently:
"After the princess is granted the title, she will get married to the consort. Of course, the candidate must be chosen first!"

"What the hell?" Li Wei was surprised.

In his impression, this little princess is still a child. Is she going to get married now?

He knew that people in ancient times got married early. People in their rural hometown and children who dropped out of school also got married very early, but no matter how early they were, they still had to be seventeen or eighteen years old, fourteen, are you kidding!

Li Wei suddenly frowned. Getting married so early would do a lot of harm to the girl. He and the little princess were already familiar with each other. It was somewhat unbearable to see her fall into the fire pit like this.

"Hold on, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then spoke. Taking advantage of the eunuch's opportunity to present the list, Chuban interrupted the process and stepped forward.

Everyone present was surprised to see him like this, and all their eyes fell on him.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were fine, especially Empress Ma. When she saw him coming out, she thought he was going to recommend himself and looked at him with a satisfied smile.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with various things, he agreed with this matter for political purposes. He did not stop him from interrupting the performance. He just snorted with a straight face and waited for him to speak. .

"Your Majesty, I think the princess is still young and it is too early to choose a prince-in-law now. It is better to choose a prince two years later!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face paused slightly when he heard this, and he secretly wondered what this bullshit meant. He had to wait two years before signing up again?

"Why did Mr. Li say this? The princess is fourteen years old, which is the age to get married. Why is it two years late?"

Gesi asked with some confusion.

He didn't understand what Li Wei meant. In fact, it was not impossible to be late for two years, but it was the consensus of everyone to marry a girl as early as possible. Even the laws of many dynasties clearly stipulated that if you do not marry until you reach the age, you must She could be fined or even jailed. As a royal daughter, especially a direct princess, she should get married as soon as possible and set an example for the world. How could she just be two years late without any reason?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma also looked at him with frowns.

Li Wei explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know something..."

"Why don't we know something?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately used his words with an ugly expression, implying a warning. He felt that this brat seemed to be causing trouble again!
"..."

Li Wei paused and cursed in his mind, then adjusted his words and continued: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, a woman who marries prematurely will do great harm to herself. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"This is a big fallacy! Women in the Tang and Song Dynasties got married at the age of 13. I have never heard of any harm caused by this. Our dynasty set the age as fourteen, which is later than the Tang and Song Dynasties. How can it be considered early?" I originally watched and said nothing. Xu Hui of the household department immediately retorted, saying that since Li Wei had not caused trouble this year, he had been promoted to a regular position and was now a serious minister of the household department.

Li Wei rolled his eyes at him, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.

Before Li Wei could speak, Xu Hui sarcastically said: "I heard that Mr. Li, a young and talented man, is still unmarried. Do you have any ideas? You might as well say it bluntly. As long as Your Majesty is gracious, it is not impossible to let the Ministry of Rites add your name. "

After Xu Hui finished speaking, all the ministers showed disdainful smiles. Although Li Wei looked young, he was still younger than his real age. In the eyes of others, his appearance was similar to that of a prince, about 25-[-] years old. This If you want to marry a princess at your age, you are indeed overestimating your abilities.

When Li Wei heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Are you kidding? Is he the kind of person who eats young grass?Besides, this is a 14-year-old girl. This is illegal in future generations. He cannot bear this crime!
Everyone burst out laughing when they saw him like this, feeling that his secrets had been revealed and that he was guilty of committing a crime.

"Cut, overestimate one's abilities."

"Toad wants to eat……"

There were whispers below, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked ugly as well, but his view was different from the others. In his opinion, this boy clearly disliked his daughter!
"You bastard, if we choose a prince-in-law, do you have the right to speak to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned livid and he cursed loudly.

Although Empress Ma didn't understand what Li Wei meant, she didn't think as much as Zhu Yuanzhang did. She reached out and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to calm him down, then turned to Li Wei with a smile on her face, pretending to be surprised. He opened his mouth and asked:
"Master Li is not married yet? How old are you this year?"

"Uh……"

Li Wei was stunned. He suddenly remembered that one day before, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma ordered him to conceal his age. What did this mean?
After hesitating for a long time, under the gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, Li Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Twenty...four or five."

After saying that, he sighed secretly in his heart. Now he no longer dares to act willfully. He can put aside Queen Ma's words first, but Zhu Yuanzhang is staring at him coldly now. If he dares to talk about his age, no Know what the consequences will be.

Hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang passed the test, but Empress Ma frowned and was displeased. She had asked this boy to say he was in his early twenties.

But now that the matter has come to this, she can only make up for it: "24, it's not too old, and Li Aiqing looks a little younger. I think it's okay to ask the Ministry of Rites to add the name!"

Hearing this, everyone present, including Li Wei himself, was shocked.

Xu Hun's face was full of disbelief. The queen's words were too far-fetched. Did she really ask the Ministry of Rites to add a name to him?That's not what I meant!

Ge Si hesitated and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at him, just stared at Li Wei coldly.

Li Wei stared at Queen Ma in shock. He finally understood what the old couple meant by asking him to conceal his age.

But he never agrees to this!
He already has Xiaoqing, so it is impossible to marry any princess. Although three wives and four concubines are very common in this era, to marry a princess, you must be a real wife, and it is also very difficult to take in concubines. There are many conditions, which means there is basically no way. .

If he really marries this little princess, what will Xiao Qing do?
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Xu Yao indiscriminately, which he couldn't bear. He was determined not to become a family with this old man!
"Your Majesty, would you like to join us?" Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Gesi had to ask cautiously.

"Come on, come on," Queen Ma urged.

Ge Si looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in embarrassment, waiting for his instructions. Zhu Yuanzhang hummed twice, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"I disagree!"

Seeing that things were about to go bad, Li Wei was so anxious that he shouted!
　Please give me a monthly ticket. A big twist is coming soon. After this time, the plot will basically be stable. Thank you for your support.
