Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 312 The Big Wedding
Since it is a predestined matter, then simply be more generous. After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "One million taels, this one million taels is for the sons and ministers to honor their father, emperor and mother." After speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked at his father , the meaning is obvious, this is 100 million taels, we are almost done.

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son in surprise, 100 million taels?so rich?Why didn't I find out before?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang felt that the 100 million taels seemed to be too little. After thinking for a while, he said, "Two million taels just happened to build a Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace. Didn't you say before that you want to build a Wenyuan Pavilion for collecting books? Let's meet together."

200 million taels?Zhu Houzhao nodded after thinking about it: "Okay, 200 million taels is 200 million taels, and it is just right to build a Wenyuan Pavilion."

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao has made up his mind. After returning home, he will ask his mother to have a royal old age, invite all the people in the honorary family, and then earn the money back.Not only woolen materials, but also perfume and cosmetic boxes are also sold well. Besides, there are also various products of Qiqizhai, which are for sale anyway.

After my big wedding next year is over, my mother will hold a royal dinner, and the princess can also hold one here!

My mother entertained the older generation, and my princess can definitely entertain the younger generation, the heirs of various mansions. This is another way to make a lot of money.In Zhu Houzhao's view, he only needs to earn the money of these nobles and relatives. Anyway, they will go to all directions of Daming to make money, and then the money will gather with him.

The father and son did not stay too long, and went back to the palace directly, and then Zhu Houzhao was kicked back to Xianyang Palace.

The father wants to tell his mother what he has seen and heard about leaving the palace, show the things he bought for the queen, and show off that he cheated his son 200 million taels. Anyway, it is the world of husband and wife. I went to Xianyang Palace to play by myself.Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this, what's the matter, the prince is going to get married soon, okay?
In the next few days, Zhu Houzhao kept encouraging his mother to hold a royal dinner, and then encouraged Xungui and his relatives to go to Liaodong to buy grasslands and raise sheep.

The other is to raise minks and tigers. Anyway, Zhu Houzhao described this prospect very attractively. When the nobles thought of the plush fabrics and the big cloaks of Qiweizhai that they spent money on, they felt pain in their hearts, and then they felt that this thing There was a lot to do, so without waiting for the end of the new year, he immediately sent people to Liaodong to grab grassland.

Xungui is not stupid, he naturally knows that there are good and bad things about Caochang, and they don't care if it costs a little more, but they must buy a good one.

In addition to Zhu Houzhao's private affairs, the examination method promoted by the court finally caused quite a stir in the court, but there is no way to stand up against it. You are an official, are you afraid of the examination?Is it because you don't do things?Of course, people can also find a relatively strange angle, such as the strict assessment will make the officials busy with the assessment, which will cause redundant officials and the like.

Zhu Houzhao scoffed at this statement, as if you were working without being assessed. Anyway, it’s like this, so it’s better to let you have a good assessment, at least to complete the things within the scope of the assessment.

With the promotion of Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youtang's father and son, the examination method was successfully passed, and it will be implemented in the capital and Shuntian Mansion after the new year.

After all these things were done, Zhu Houzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a year of busy work, Zhu Houzhao can also take a break. He has done a lot of things this year.Although it doesn't seem obvious for the time being, Zhu Houzhao knows that what he has done this year is definitely the cornerstone for Daming to take off.

"Your Highness, the people from the Ministry of Rites are here." Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said cautiously, for fear of offending Zhu Houzhao.

The affairs of the imperial court and Qiyizhai were all over, but Zhu Houzhao's desire to rest still fell through, because his wedding was finally settled, and the date was set on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and then the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the door to teach The etiquette of Zhu Houzhao's wedding, of course, and preparing clothes for Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao officially entered the life of a marionette.

"Bring it in!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, although he was a little depressed, he would not lose his temper with Liu Jin.

This is something he has to go through, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't complain about it, anyway, it's just this time, and he won't have to worry about choosing a concubine in the future.

The days go by day by day, the time is like water, the sun and the moon fly by, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. This is already the fifth year that Zhu Houzhao has lived in this world, and he doesn't feel boring.After the new year, the prince was about to get married, and he was forbidden to participate in other things.Zhu Houzhao didn't want to participate in other things, because he was too busy.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Houzhao was manipulated like a marionette for a whole day, and finally he was able to enter the bridal chamber when he was done.

Zhu Houzhao's concubine is still the Xia family. I don't know if this is a coincidence or a revision of history. Anyway, this matter is the same as Shishishan. The concubine Xia is from Daxing, Beizhili (now Daxing, Beijing), and her ancestral home is Shangyuan, Nanzhili. (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), during the Yongle period, her family moved north to Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, and she was also the historical Empress Xiaojing Xia.

She had no children in her life. In the first year of Jiajing, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty entered the Datong. Because she was related to Empress Xia as her uncle and sister-in-law, Empress Xia could not be Empress Dowager, but she had to be distinguished from Empress Chen of Sejong, so she was honored as Empress Zhuangsu.

What is the relationship between Emperor Zhengde and Empress Xia? History books are very secretive and unclear.Yang Yi, a bibliophile in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Ming Liang Ji" that "Wu Zong was not in the imperial court for a long time. He returned from Datong and suddenly entered the palace. After Xia, he saw the emperor crying. The emperor said: "Why is the queen so thin? "Take Guanglusi to eat, and add a pair of fattened geese." It can be seen that the relationship between Wu Zong and Empress Xia is still relatively good.

This Zhu Houzhao can also understand that in history, everyone was busy pouring dirty water on Emperor Zhengde, and the most important one was sleeping with all kinds of women.

What kind of sleep at the beginning, what kind of woman who sleeps with courtiers, if it is recorded at this time that Emperor Zhengde and Empress Xia have a strong relationship, wouldn't it be contradictory?

There are not many records about this Empress Xia in history. Of course, the current Zhu Houzhao doesn't know much about him. He doesn't even know what his own princess looks like. There is really a little excitement in my heart.Let alone meeting each other in the previous life, you slept together for several years before you got married.

The night of the wedding was tiring, and there was no sense of novelty. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was still very excited, with the excitement of a big wedding.
