I am the carpenter king

"Your Majesty, today is September [-]th." Chen Hong has been serving Emperor Tianqi these days, and he has some understanding of the emperor's temper. He knows that this master likes to answer questions.I really look down on those who speak hesitantly, as long as they tell the truth, even if there is some collision, they will not be blamed.

After hearing Chen Hong's words, Emperor Tianqi nodded and picked up the memorial on the table and read it slowly.This is a long-awaited memorial to Emperor Tianqi, because it says one thing and that is about the year name.

This is the result of discussions by the cabinet, and the 48th year of Wanli (1620) from one to seven is regarded as the 48th year of Wanli.Beginning in August is the first year of Taichang. The emperor who reigned for a month passed away without even having time to use his own reign name.And starting next year will be the first year of the apocalypse, which is 1621 AD.

For this memorial, Emperor Tianqi can only reply obediently, not only because it has been done this way in history, but Emperor Tianqi himself has no good way.

Just when Emperor Tianqi was approving the memorial, an imperial decree had already been spread, but it was said that the world was shaken, although the imperial decree was very brief.

History of Ming Dynasty, Benji of Apocalypse.

In the first year of Taichang, on February 16th, Emperor Tianqi was [-] years old, and he should establish a queen according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, wrote a letter asking for a queen, and he agreed.Then made an order.

Soon this matter spread all over the world, and all states and counties were busy selecting beauties under their rule.For these local officials, this is an opportunity. Even if the person they nominate cannot become a queen in the end, even if it is only a noble concubine, they will definitely be taken care of.Therefore, all the officials spared no effort, and even went to the homes with daughters in person. Of course, most of them were mainly lures.

The county magistrate of Xiangfu County (now Kaifeng, Henan Province) in Henan Province is Li Changmao, whose name is Ruide, and he is over 40 years old this year.Although he is not an upright official, he is not a person who commits crimes and evils. If he evaluates it, he is hardworking and has no major faults.Ever since he received the official document from the magistrate's yamen in Henan, this adult became excited, and he saw his opportunity.

Although there is an old saying that there are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Changmao believes that the girl he saw is definitely one of the best beauties in the world, even if she is not a queen, she must be a noble concubine.It's just that I don't know if the other party is willing or not. Although this kind of thing can't be opposed in many cases, this person's identity is very special.

The person Li Changmao took care of was Zhang Guoji, who was one of the largest households in Xiangfu County. If it was an ordinary household, it would be fine.This Zhang Guoji is a well-known literati, and the status of literati in this era is very high, let alone a well-known literati, who can be an official at any time.

Even if you are unemployed at home, there are very good disciples, old officials, teachers and students in the same year, and you can't offend such people if you can.Besides, if the girl is sent to the capital forcibly, once the girl gains power, not only will it benefit him, but he may even lose his money!

The reason why Li Changmao insisted on getting Zhang Guoji's daughter away was because he had met this Miss Zhang.It was at a temple fair. Although he was young, only twelve or thirteen years old, even Li Changmao, the county magistrate who had seen many beauties, was astonished.Zhang Yan, who is only 13 years old, is already a little beauty. At this time, Li Changmao believes that Miss Zhang must be even more beautiful.And the most important thing is that this Miss Zhang is very talented. Not only does she not have the temper of many eldest ladies, but she is also very gentle and virtuous, and she is also good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

For his own future, Li Changmao made up his mind to accomplish this. He looked at the master Li Changmao beside him and said, "Prepare the presents. I'm going to the Zhang family."

The Zhang family is one of the best families in Xiangfu County, and the house is naturally in the best location in Xiangfu County, not far from the county government. This morning Li Maochang finally came to the gate of Zhang's mansion.Looking at the gate of the Zhang Mansion, Li Changmao secretly warned himself that this time only success is allowed and no failure is allowed.

Although the Zhang family is very powerful, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect his visit, so Zhang Guoji personally approached the mansion, and after the two were divided into guests and hosts, Li Changmao went straight to the point and said: "Zhang Yuanwai, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! "

Zhang Guoji is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a strong bookish air, and he was shocked when he heard Li Maochang's words.I still have some understanding of Zhang Guoji, the magistrate of the county. Although he is not a good official, his actions can be regarded as aboveboard.Immediately said: "The county magistrate is being polite, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say."

Seeing Zhang Guoji's attitude, Li Maochang's uneasy heart calmed down a little at this time, and he said slowly: "I don't know how old is your love this year? Have you ever been married?"

Hearing Li Changmao's words, Zhang Guoji also heaved a sigh of relief. The county magistrate came here for his daughter, and he heard this to be a matchmaker!Zhang Guoji loves this woman very much.Although there are many media protectors, Zhang Guoji is not very satisfied.At this time, seeing Li Changmao's intention to be a matchmaker, he was naturally happy. Since the county magistrate asked, it should not be bad, so he said: "My daughter is fourteen this year and has never been married. I don't know the county magistrate?"

Hearing the answer he wanted, Li Changmao was secretly happy, but there was no expression on his face, and he still said flatly: "I have a very good family, I don't know if Zhang Yuanwai has any intention of marrying a daughter! "At this time, Li Changmao thought to himself, this time you must have no reason to refuse, and you must use some means for your own future.

Zhang Guoji naturally wouldn't think of Li Changmao's thoughts. His daughter is 14 years old, and she has reached the age of marriage in this era.Since there is a county magistrate as a matchmaker, he must have a good family background. In this case, if the person is good, then naturally there is no problem.Slowly pondering for a while, Zhang Guoji smiled and said: "Since the county magistrate is a matchmaker, then Zhang will naturally give this face. I wonder which family the county magistrate is talking about?"

After hearing Zhang Guoji's words, Li Changmao immediately felt relieved, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart that you will not be able to escape this time, nor will a magistrate of the old man escape.With a slight smile, Li Changmao said: "The man is in the capital, and he is 16 years old this year."

Seeing Li Changmao's old fox-like smile, Zhang Guoji finally felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help frowning: "I don't know who it is?" Although it was in the capital, it was a bit far away to marry his woman there.

"The man's family name is Zhu." Li Changmao smiled mysteriously and said slowly.

Hearing the surname Zhang Guoji's heart trembled suddenly, Zhu Naiguo's surname is still in the capital, it seems that it has a lot to do with the royal family.
