Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 130 130 I was a farmer in the morning and ascended to the Emperor's Hall in the evening.

The old father was so excited that the old mother was surprised and delighted.

Neither of them felt sleepy at all.

He kept asking the old man whether it was true or false.

Originally, the couple was still worrying about their son's marriage. After all, Wang Buli had an annulment once, so it was inevitable that someone would gossip.

As a result, the son was so impressive that he suddenly became the emperor's son-in-law.

That was the daughter of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

It was simply joy that fell from heaven.

What parent wouldn’t rejoice too much?

"What a great joy!"

"Yes!" Doctor Wang stroked his beard and said, "As expected of my son, he is really capable."

The old mother held the wooden plaque of the Prince Consort in her hand tightly, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"You have to dress better tomorrow, don't lose face and let Duke Cao look down on you."

Divine Doctor Wang had already released his emotions in the study room, and now he had a smile on his face. It was not that he was excited. On the contrary, the old mother snorted: "Why didn't you say that he was the flesh that fell from my body?"

"Hahaha."

The old couple began to rummage through the boxes again, taking out the newer clothes and preparing them, trying not to let any wrinkles on the clothes.

Wait until tomorrow to wear it, don't let your son lose face.

Duke Cao Guo is coming, and the family has to prepare some things.

Some noisy sounds in the Wang family's residence were extremely obvious at night.

But in the palace, many maids and eunuchs did not dare to make any sound when walking, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thinking and being punished.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Buli's performance in Hu Weiyong's house and couldn't help but frown:

"We really don't know whether Wang Buli is really smart or greedy!"

There was obviously a lot to talk about at the dinner table, but this boy kept eating like crazy, not giving Hu Weiyong a chance to speak.

"Dad, if your son-in-law is stupid, there will be very few smart people in the world."

Prince Zhu Biao said with a smile: "He may be really smart, but also really greedy."

"Mom, we suspect that this guy went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cheat on food and drink."

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Hu Weiyong to eat so extravagantly on weekdays.

Many of the dishes he, as an emperor, had never heard of.

Even if the raw materials for delicacies from all over the world are sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial chef Xu Xingzu, he may not be able to cook them well.

In other words, Xu Xingzu has been cooking for Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years. His cooking skills may not have greatly improved, but he is good at making home-cooked dishes. If he wants him to cook a state banquet, it will be really difficult for him.

Because Lao Zhu didn't like this appetite, Xu Xingzu didn't have much opportunity to learn.

"Hu Weiyong is quite extravagant."

Prince Zhu Biao was a little confused when he saw the name of the dish.

If Hu Weiyong entertained him like this, he would have to show off his food as crazily as Wang Buli, and there would be no time to talk.

motherfucker.

The emperor and the prince of the Ming Dynasty did not eat as well as the prime minister, so where could they go to reason?

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son have the spirit of being a master, because the world belongs to their old Zhu family, so they naturally have to manage it well and dare not waste it.

But Hu Weiyong is just a part-time worker. What happened to me enjoying myself?

"Wang Buli probably hasn't eaten anything delicious in Wonderland."

Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied. Everyone was treated similarly when entering the fairyland. At least Wang Buli didn't take any magic medicine behind his back.

"Dad, Wang Buli has not eaten any fairy vegetables in the fairyland. I guess he is not much different from us."

Lao Zhu thinks the difference is huge.

Wang Buli was able to play tricks with the fairies, and those fairies still tried to please him in every possible way.

We, father and son, can only be spectators, and our actions must be restricted.

Can you?

Zhu Biao caught Lao Zhu's look and understood, then he laughed twice.

"Hu Weiyong is quite cautious." Zhu Yuanzhang put down the booklet in his hand:

"We thought that if Wang Buli showed the sign of Prince Consort, he would go crazy on the spot and scold one or two Wu Wei, but we didn't expect him to be able to bear it."

"Dad, Hu Weiyong's power as prime minister has just expanded, and he is too afraid to do anything illegal."

Zhu Biao also believed that Hu Weiyong still abided by some official rules on the surface at this time.

Whether it is promoting Wu Wei or paving the way for Wang Buli, there is at least nothing to fault in the process.

Both of them have made some political achievements in Jiangning County, which can be said to be outstanding.

Hu Weiyong just secretly used his strength to speed up the time for their promotion.

"Well, let's give him more time."

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Hu Weiyong's extravagant behavior would soon throw away the caution deep in his heart.

Lao Zhu killed Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen, and pushed Bei Yuan from south to north, destroying the princes. His patience was not ordinary.

The father and son reached a consensus on Wang Buli's attendance at the banquet. Hu Weiyong was still too cautious at the moment, and their plan to abolish the prime minister system had to be delayed slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to deal with government affairs, and then he received some information about the Wang family residence before long.

The reaction of Wang Buli's parents was extremely interesting to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Being Lao Zhu's son-in-law, which family wouldn't be crazy about it?

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud of this matter.

Because in the early Ming Dynasty, clan marriages were used to combine civil and military nobles, trying to achieve the purpose of shielding the vassal house through blood ties and nepotism.

Princes, princes, princes and concubines, and princesses and princesses choosing consorts and guests of honor are mostly decided by the emperor and marry the children of meritorious ministers.

In fact, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​using marriage relationships to maintain imperial power.

Moreover, the objects of clan marriage were mostly the families of military ministers, and there were only one or two civil servants. This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage strategy was based on the military.

This is closely related to the current military and political situation of the Ming Dynasty, because the main task now is to clear away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and pacify the southwest.

The most prominent one is the military, so the marriage between clans is dominated by military ministers.

Lao Zhu also stipulated that ministers were strictly prohibited from marrying women into the clan privately, in order to cut off the space for others to use them and threaten the imperial power.

But with the success of the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di clearly felt the threat to the national power from the marriage of kings!

He doesn't want others to go his own way and "succeed in peace" again!

Therefore, in order to prevent the clan from developing its own power through marriage, Zhu Di placed strict restrictions on clan marriages.

The prince's concubine must still be chosen by the court as in the early Ming Dynasty. Princes and below can choose their own, but they still need to be approved.

Anyone who is married to the royal family is not allowed to be granted a position in the capital.

Beijing officials who are married to the royal family will be transferred to foreign posts.

Relatives of the royal family are not allowed to hold important positions. Those who already hold important positions are ordered to "live idle".

For marriages in the royal palace, one must choose a military-civilian family within the fiefdom, and marriage outside the fiefdom is not allowed.

Marriage partners of the clan are not allowed to participate in political affairs.

However, the subsequent development of the Ming Dynasty has increasingly led to the fact that although the prince-in-law is a forbidden concubine, he must have time to come in and out, and his daily life must be regulated. He is not free to move, eat, or breathe freely, and is mostly controlled by nannies and eunuchs.

Wang Buli was the first generation of princes-in-law, and his status and power were countless times higher than those of the princes-in-law who came after him.

Now that Zhu Di has not yet become a vassal, Wang Buli's eldest brother Wang Guanzhong can naturally become a capital official.

The next day, Dr. Wang and his wife got up early even after sleeping for a while. They were very energetic and called the whole family up to announce that their second son Wang Buli would become the emperor's son-in-law.

There was a look of surprise in the hall, and no one spoke for a long time.

Even the two veterans who were teaching Wang Buli strength training in the backyard were staring at him with big eyes.

What, our "apprentice" is going to become a prince-in-law?

What the hell kind of luck did this guy have? The overwhelming wealth would kill them?

The eldest brother Wang Guanzhong stood up, walked up to Wang Buli, grabbed his arms, and shook him hard: "Second brother, second brother!"

He was incoherent and didn't know what to say.

What does it mean to reach heaven in one step?

This is fucking called reaching the sky in one step!

Yesterday morning, he was still an ordinary county official, as others said, but at night he suddenly became the emperor's son-in-law.

"Being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening."

Wang Guanzhong, the most educated eldest brother in the family, said this.

How many people have been looking forward to this since ancient times, but how many people in the world can have such treatment?

Wang Guanzhong's wife looked at her second uncle and then at her son.

His uncle is so powerful, won't my son be able to rise to prominence in the officialdom in the future?

Therefore, a huge smile appeared on his face.

"Second brother, second brother, you really make me jealous to death."

Wang Guanzhong wanted to shake Wang Buli again, but found that he could not shake him even though he was shaking, so he was not discouraged and directly carried his precious son around in the hall.

Making his son laugh.

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and looked at this scene, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

In his eyes, if his children and grandchildren are alive and healthy, and then have success, that would be even better.

In addition to the requirements of the times for the marriage of the Ming princess of the Hongwu Dynasty, the selection of the prince-in-law in later courts was not from among the well-dressed children, but mostly handsome people from good families or Wu Bian families in the Jifu area.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Mr. Wang, come out quickly. Duke Cao Guo has come to your home in person. What a happy event!"

Zhang Lichang was picked up from bed early this morning and asked to lead the way to Wang Buli's house.

The ceremonial arrangements of Duke Cao Guo were put on display.

This is something that has never happened in their alley.

Zhang Li was a little confused. Then he saw that Cao Guogong's servants were carrying several large boxes, all covered with red silk. Could it be that the daughter of Dr. Wang's family was attracted by Cao Guogong and wanted to give it to him? Son says kiss?

Doctor Wang stopped his son and grandson from running wildly, tidied up his clothes, and took the lead to greet him.

In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, it was stipulated that any official marriage, or a wife for a son, must have a matchmaker's letter, and only with the consent of the woman's parents can the marriage be engaged in accordance with etiquette and law.

Now that Wang Buli wants Princess Shang, the situation is naturally reversed.

Wang Buli didn't even need to pay a betrothal gift, and the princess had to prepare a generous betrothal gift for him.

Lao Zhu is not stingy about the life of his children. Wang Buli is really going to become the first civilian prince-in-law in the Ming Dynasty who has a soft life and a hard life!

Nowadays, as a matchmaker, Li Wenzhong must obtain the consent of the man's parents before he can go through the six rites process.

Moreover, the marriage of a princess is no different from that of a prince, both of which require a long process.

After all, everyone has an arranged marriage. If you want to elope with a free love like Zhuo Wenjun, you will be criticized.

Because people's understanding of marriage in this era is not that marriage only occurs because of love between men and women.

The primary purpose of marriage is to produce children and carry on the family legacy.

What love?

Love you Ma Hua Pi love!

Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao State, came in a sedan chair today and stood in front of the Wang family. He was used to walking in high-end and big houses, but in front of him was indeed a small house.

This reminded Li Wenzhong of the thatched house he had in his childhood, without even a yard, and he smiled.

At this time, the Wang family is countless times stronger than the old Zhu family.

If they were still under Dayuan's rule, the Zhu family might not be able to reach the top of the Wang family.

At this time, the alley was surrounded by people watching the excitement.

The courtyard door opened, and the two veterans who walked out of the door first saluted Cao Guogong, and then stood at the door to maintain order to avoid any accidents.

"Little old man Wang Cun didn't know that Duke Cao Guo came all the way. It's really rude."

Doctor Wang was about to salute immediately, but was immediately supported by Li Wenzhong.

This person is his uncle's in-law, and in terms of seniority, he is higher than himself.

"Doctor Wang, there is no need to be so formal. You will be the emperor's in-laws from now on."

Cao Guogong's words immediately shocked the surrounding countryside.

"The emperor's in-laws!"

The person who spoke out immediately covered his mouth, for fear of angering Duke Cao Guo.

Li Wenzhong indeed intended to promote a wave of publicity.

"That's right." Li Wenzhong looked in the direction where he had just spoken and smiled: "His Majesty has decided to marry his eldest daughter to Wang Buli."

Boom.

It was like a thunder exploding in the sky.

Wang Buli.

County official.

He was actually able to marry the eldest daughter of today's emperor.

What kind of wealth is this?

For a while, it was difficult for everyone to accept it.

Why?

Makes no sense.

Because according to the five-year rule of Hongwu, whether it is officials or ordinary people, the most important thing is to be well-matched.

Especially the newly wealthy merchants in the market, who take pride in marrying women and marrying wealthy family members.

Paying attention to family status is the most prominent characteristic of Ming people.

Doctor Wang was also stunned when he heard the words eldest daughter.

He almost couldn't stand, but fortunately his son held him up.

He looked back rather stiffly: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were His Majesty's legitimate daughter?"

"Did you ask me?"

Since ancient times, there have been differences between concubines and concubines. It is already a great gift for the emperor to marry a daughter.

Doctor Wang did not dare to think that his son had committed such a shocking crime that it was worthy of the emperor to marry his eldest daughter to him.

It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that this trend was changed with the development of the commodity economy.

Everyone is talking about wealth, not family status.

No matter how humble one's origins are, once they become "suddenly wealthy", they can marry into a famous family.

The rich and famous are interested in the wealth of these new upstarts, so they no longer cling to the old-fashioned concept of being well-matched and "only focus on wealth."

What's more, they get involved in the competition for wealth.

The phenomenon of asking for financial gifts when concluding a marriage is also increasing, and the business relationship in marriage has further developed.

Doctor Wang waited for a while, then hurriedly invited Cao Guogong to come in and narrate the story.

Many servants carried things into the yard.

The eldest brother Wang Guanzhong went to the neighboring house to borrow some tables and chairs and put them in the yard. He asked the servants of Cao Guogong's family to rest while the women in the family began to make tea and water.

Many neighbors are willing to lend their good tables and chairs to help.

Everyone knows that the Wang family has become prosperous.

Wang Laoer is going to marry the princess.

How can we, our fellow villagers, not take advantage of this?

Just saying it out makes me feel proud.

In particular, the Wang brothers take good care of their neighbors on weekdays, which is fitting for their prosperous family.

Then someone in the crowd began to whisper about Wang Buli's annulment. Fortunately, the engagement was annulled.

Otherwise, how would Wang Buli have the chance to be favored by the emperor today?

Cao Guogong went into the hall to chat with Dr. Wang and his son.

"My name was still Wang Yi when I was in the Reverse Yuan Dynasty. When the emperor established the Ming Dynasty, I was named Wang Cun."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and said, "I am grateful to Your Majesty."

Li Wenzhong laughed, he had not been called by this name before.

"Wang Divine Doctor, your son Wang Buli has done many things and won the favor of His Majesty, so he will marry your daughter to him. From now on, you must tell him not to be proud and complacent."

Li Wenzhong glanced at today's principal, who was unusually well-behaved in front of his father.

Just now he was bowing and speaking like a puppet, without saying a word.

It's really a bit different from what I've seen him look like before.

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Divine Doctor Wang stroked his beard and laughed a few times: "My son was really naughty before, and it was only during this period that he calmed down and concentrated on running errands for His Majesty.

At the same time, I also benefited from the eldest son of the Duke's family. Otherwise, his name would not have been known to His Majesty just because of my son's hard work. "

If you often travel among the people, you can also gain a good reputation.

Doctor Wang's emotional intelligence was developed through hard work.

Li Wenzhong had been in the army for a long time and was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. He was not very familiar with some human scenes. At this time, listening to Dr. Wang pointing out his son's role in it, he couldn't stop smiling.

Although he knew that his son did not have any military talents worth cultivating, he still inherited his fine tradition in understanding people.

You praise Cao Guogong for his greatness. Everyone knows that he himself has no mood swings.

But if you praise his son for his abilities from another angle, then Li Wenzhong will still be quite happy.

In response to what his father said, Wang Buli just served tea and poured water.

It was his father's home court at this time, so there was no need for him to take action at all. He was completely comfortable on his own.

"Wang Buli's birthday and horoscope have to be provided by Divine Doctor Wang, so it's easy for me to do business when I get back."

"Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing."

Doctor Wang quickly wrote down his son's birth date.

Li Wenzhong waited for the ink to dry and put it away. He knew that this was the process. If the Qintian Supervisor dared to disagree during the horoscope, he would have to find a way to make it auspicious for them to do the divination again.

"By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell Doctor Wang in advance." Li Wenzhong had attended the princess's wedding and said:

"When you are getting married and paying homage to the royal family, you parents have to stand up and receive three bows from the princess."

"It doesn't matter."

Doctor Wang thinks it's okay. Our son is marrying a princess, as long as the princess worships him.
