Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

The war bonds, under the secret manipulation of Li Yan and his friends, were sold out in an instant, and the Ming Dynasty's financial crisis was immediately lifted.

After the crisis passed, the entire court began to operate normally, and the imperial examination in November was very successful. Because the reformed imperial examination system was announced in advance, stipulating that eight-legged essays, arithmetic, and policy analysis accounted for points, the candidates left the examination smoothly after being well fed and clothed.

After the palace examination, the top pick and second overall pick were selected on the spot. Although there are no eye-catching celebrities on the list, it is still quite satisfactory. Finally, a group of officials who knew arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were selected for the Ming Dynasty.

There was a shortage of officials in various places in the Ming Dynasty, so they no longer pursued further studies in the Imperial Academy and were directly sent to serve as officials. This batch is for the Emperor's disciples.

Since it's the day of being named on the gold medal list, of course it's natural time for the wedding ceremony to take place.

In Jiying Palace, the Ministry of Rites brought up the matter of the emperor's wedding.

He Fugui and Qian Tonghe were so frightened that they almost slipped under their chairs. Oh my god, you can barely survive by borrowing money, but you still want to get married? You are too carefree.

If a small family gets married at home, they will all owe a famine. If the emperor gets married, is that a joke? All kinds of expenses will directly destroy the finances.

He Fugui and Qian Tonghe lay down on the ground and opposed the emperor's wedding together.

Even the Prime Minister Wang also stood up and objected: "Brother Emperor, we really can't talk about marriage at this time. It's inappropriate and the finances won't allow it."

Lu Mou frowned. He had no objection to his wedding. He put the children aside for now and just spent the whole day with his first love. How happy that was.

Besides, don’t you know how impatient it is to get married at the beginning of the year? Isn’t that still vivid in your mind?

Then he said: "Why do you oppose my wedding? I am not young anymore. Besides, the harem cannot be without an owner. Isn't it a good idea to start a family early?"

Prime Minister Wang replied with a grimace: "That's the thing, but the cost of a wedding is so huge. Even if according to the rules, half of it is paid from the national treasury, it will kill all the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Then we'll do it half way, and we'll spend whatever we can with internal funds."

Everyone was completely speechless. Can this wedding be even half done? After worshiping heaven and earth, why don’t you enter the bridal chamber? Then why get married?

The official of the Ministry of Rites spoke plausibly: "The emperor is old enough to get married. Only when the emperor gets married can a dragon son be born early. With a dragon son, a prince can be appointed. Once a prince is appointed, the country can be stable for thousands of years. For this reason, , the emperor is getting married."

It is very necessary for the emperor to give birth to a son as soon as possible. Not only to be born early, but also to be born many times.

Whether the emperor's children are sick or not, a few of them always die inexplicably, and few are born as spares. In the end, they end up like Tianqi and Dezong, so how can that be tolerated?

"Is this right? The treasury is in dire straits and we can simplify everything."

All the officials immediately objected: The emperor's wedding has been ordered since ancient times and must not be violated. The most important thing is that the emperor's wedding is the face of the court. You can be shameless, but the court and officials still want to be shameless.

Either the Prime Minister and the King are the representatives and they don’t get married yet; or the Ministry of Rites is the representative and they can’t be simple and have to get married; or there is no prince in the world and the old Zhu family’s habit of short lifespan makes us unsure.

Just when Lu Mou was weighing this, the Ministry of Etiquette, which firmly supported the emperor's wedding, went straight to the next topic: "But, the queen chosen by the emperor for the emperor at the beginning of the year is not good."

"Why?" Lu Mou was surprised.

"Because according to the ancestral system, the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and her concubines must come from an innocent family, and they must not come from the family of a noble minister, and military commanders are even more taboo. This is to prevent relatives from interfering in politics. For this reason, the ministers and others are determined not to do so. Agree to select the daughter of Mrs. Qin’s family.”

Yes, Ming Dynasty has resolutely implemented two points since its founding. The first is to prevent vassal towns, and the second is to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics. This is the bottom line and must not be exceeded.

When Lu Mou heard this, he was not allowed to marry his first love Lan Lan. He exploded at that time: "Mrs. Qin's family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never rebel."

Teacher Huang Daozhou stood up and said: "Long live, we are not saying that Mrs. Qin's family will rebel, but we are trying to prevent their family from forming relatives to interfere in politics. Your Majesty, you have rebelled."

"Then, shall I pretend to be the queen first and Nama Lanlan be the concubine?" Liu Zongzhou immediately stood up and objected: "It's even worse to pretend to be the queen. When the time comes, the emperor will only favor one person, which will make the emperor more controlled by one concubine. It’s absolutely not possible with Concubine Wan Gui in front of me.”

Liu Zongzhou immediately became vigilant: "What if there is another Renzong who only loves Empress Zhou, and Tianqi is obsessed with empress Zhou, leaving the royal family weak. What if there is another succession of different sects, a struggle over the country, if there is another brother who succeeds, then what will happen?" Remarkable.”

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Wang Zhu Cizheng.

Your father and brother are finally getting together, and you are brother and sister, so everyone is trembling with fear. If another one comes, everyone's nerves will really be unbearable.

Besides, look at your brother's thin body and bones. It's quite embarrassing. Don't play this mysterious game again. We don’t want to become veterans of the Five Dynasties.

Lu Mou struggled again: "Even if I don't marry Lan Lan, at the beginning of the year with great fanfare, my father, the Queen, and the Queen have already proposed to Mrs. Qin for me. The emperor's family cannot break their promises."

Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, stood up with a ferocious look on his face: "This matter is easy to handle. Please give me the emperor's decree to grant death."

Lu Mou jumped up at that moment and was about to refute. Luo Binggong stood up directly: "Master Qian's suggestion is inappropriate. It is said that people's words are to be feared. The emperor sets an example for the world. How could he do such a thing that goes against human ethics?"

Lu Mou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. His confidant is still facing me. I will give you a promotion and a salary increase later.

"This matter is easy to handle. I will immediately send Jinyiwei North Town Fusi to Sichuan to let Malanlan die without any illness."

Lu Mou directly grabbed the inkstone and threw it at it: "You are more ruthless than them."

This marriage was not a sweet one, but she played her little lover to death, which was okay. I resolutely defended my marriage and my first love. Then he suddenly showed a ferocious face: "Absolutely not. You remember it, you all remember it for me. From now on, if Lan Lan makes any mistake, you--, I, no, I will let myself Bury her with her."

All the ministers, including Zhu Cizheng, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this."

Seeing that the ministers had surrendered, Lu Mou felt relieved and said, "Then set a date to marry Malanlan."

"Your Majesty, you must not do this."

"Do I have to marry Lanlan?"

"We will remonstrate to the death."

He looked helplessly at his best friend and best friend Li Yan: "Li Aiqing, you don't support me marrying Lan Lan either?"

"I will die to remonstrate."

Lu Mou was completely disappointed, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, okay, okay. Since everyone doesn't agree with me marrying Malanlan, Prime Minister Wang."

"Brother Chen is here."

"Come on, now, you will be the emperor, and I will go to Sichuan to become a monk."

Zhu Cizheng knelt down and hugged his brother's thigh: "I don't dare, my brother cannot leave."

"Do you agree or not?"

"Brother Chen, I firmly disagree."

Yes, the monarch and his ministers are dead. (End of chapter)
