Chapter 175 The bridal chamber

The palace hall is full of joyful red silk hanging high, and countless red palace lanterns.

When he walked into the bedroom, Zhu Youxiao saw Queen Zhang sitting on the flower-carved wooden bed, as quiet as a white orchid to be picked.

According to the rules in the palace, there were people serving the emperor in the next bridal chamber.

At this time, there were many waiting palace maids standing in the room.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not have the habit of visiting, so he waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

At this time, Empress Zhang also stood up, her little face turned slightly red, and she gently walked to Zhu Youxiao to salute her emperor and her husband.

Zhu Youxiao reached out to help the petite Queen Zhang up.

At this time, the two of them were wearing regular clothes and had already changed when drinking Heyan wine.

Looking at Empress Zhang in front of me, Zhu Youxiao really felt a heartbeat. This may be the legendary beauty under the lamp, and the more you look, the more you become more energetic.

"It's getting late, let's take a break early." Zhu Youxiao said with a little hoarse voice.

Queen Zhang nodded gently, feeling a little shy and a little red, but she still let Zhu Youxiao take her hand and walk to the next to the couch.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and reached out to put down the gauze curtains on both sides of the couch. This small world was separated from the big world outside.

This is the small world for the two of them.

He reached out and pulled Queen Zhang to the bed. Zhu Youxiao looked at Queen Zhang with his eyes fixed on him and praised: "The Queen is so beautiful."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Queen Zhang's face turned slightly red and she said timidly: "The Queen cannot praise her for her beauty."

After hearing her words, Zhu Youxiao smiled softly.

In this era, there is a universal value called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and taking concubines and taking sex. To put it bluntly, for a man, a virtuous wife is more important, and if you marry a concubine, then beauty is more important.

But for a husband, isn’t it better for a wife to look good?

Virtue and beauty do not conflict.

Zhu Youxiao took Queen Zhang's little hand, patted her gently, and said gently: "Well, I have time in the future, I will discuss it with the Queen slowly. We should do something more important now."

Empress Zhang naturally knew what the emperor was saying, and her face turned red and even her slender neck turned pink.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the shy little man in front of him and gently pushed her onto the couch.

Queen Zhang blushed with her little face, bit her lips and turned her head aside.

For Zhu Youxiao, the wedding was not over because he still had a lot to do.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang still needed to wear dresses to pay homage to the Queen Mother.

Although Zhu Youxiao did not have an empress dowager, there was also a concubine Zhuang living in Kunning Palace, so Zhu Youxiao took Empress Zhang there.

You should know that this Concubine Li has a great status in the palace. She raised Zhu Youxiao and his younger brother Emperor Chongzhen.

On the third day after the marriage, Zhu Youxiao had to wear a crown dress, while Empress Zhang still wore a dress to pay homage to the concubine. If the other party was the queen mother, then she had to perform eight big tributes; while Concubine Zhuang was just the concubine, so there was no need to pay homage to the great tributes, but there should be etiquettes.

On the fourth day after the marriage, Zhu Youxiao needed to wear a crown to Huagai Hall. The prince worshipped eight times, the officials in charge of the wedding worshiped five times, and then went to Fengtian Hall. The civil and military officials presented a congratulations and celebrated the ceremony.

On the fifth day after marriage, Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang had to perform the "washing ceremony". This etiquette originated in the Song Dynasty and continued in the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, Zhu Youxiao’s emperor’s wedding was completely over.

After the wedding, Zhu Youxiao felt exhausted and wanted to do nothing, just sleep.

But it doesn't work, because the wedding between Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang is over, but he still has two concubines to favor.

If you don’t go to your concubine’s side, it’s not in line with the rules.

So Zhu Youxiao had to drag his body and go to the concubine's side with his teeth.

The two concubines of Zhu Youxiao, one of whom was surnamed Yuan and the other was surnamed Tian. When they were appointed as queen, both of them also received their titles, all of whom were concubines, and they also had their own palaces.

In fact, there were many people in the palace staring at it, wanting to see which palace Zhu Youxiao went to first, because this means who Zhu Youxiao likes more.

But it always has to be one after another. Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao doesn’t like anyone more. However, there is no way to avoid such a thing. How can we call the two of us together?

So Zhu Youxiao went to Concubine Tian, ​​which was closer to the Ganqing Palace, and the next day he went to Concubine Yuan.

On the third day, Zhu Youxiao didn't go anywhere, and even Queen Zhang didn't go there.

He was going to return to his Ganqing Palace and have a good sleep, not wanting anyone to disturb him.

He was a little tired.

After resting for three days, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had recovered.

He was a little helpless, his body was still a little weak, but he might have been a little indulgent, after all, he was very troubled every night.

After taking a sip of porridge and a bite of refreshing sour radish, Zhu Youxiao felt much better.

I was so tired that I was exhausted a few days ago that I had no appetite for eating. Now I have finally recovered.

Putting the bowl up, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong who was standing aside and said, "Have you had anything happened recently?"

Although I don’t have to worry about anything after my wedding, but not doing it myself does not mean there is nothing wrong. Now that I have recovered, it’s time to ask what’s going on.

"When I go back to the emperor, everything is safe in the court. There are some things, and several cabinet masters in the cabinet handled them very well, and there were no other major things. Here is a list of some things that have happened recently. Please check it out." After that, Chen Hong presented a booklet.

He reached out to take the booklet over, and Zhu Youxiao looked it through and found that nothing was too big.

He probably could understand that this was his own wedding after all. When the emperor was having trouble during the wedding, no matter whether the person who caused trouble was taken or not, he would not have any good impression of him.

Ministers generally do not make such mistakes.

However, there was still one thing that attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention, that is, Zhao Nanxing had already sentenced the case.

Basically, it was similar to the last time. A few leaders were beheaded directly, the rest were searched, and the family members were sent to Liaodong to serve as military force.

The last time I handled this, but this time I still handled it this way, and there was no big problem. The cabinet gave the vote and agreed; if I agreed, the Silijian would like to give a bonus and handle it accordingly.

So Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Okay, just follow this."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and put down the booklet in his hand. At this time, the matter could come to an end. His early preparation was almost done, so you can imagine what to do later.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew what to do.

All I have to do next is just a few directions:

The number one ranks first is definitely military. If you don’t have an army, you can’t do anything. Moreover, Nurhaci is eyeing you outside, so training is ranked first.

The second-ranked one should be making money. If you have to find a way to get a lot of money, you can't do anything without money. No matter how natural disasters are there in the future, people's rebellion and rebellion, or training new troops, there is no way.

If you think about it yourself, although you have made some money by chasing your house, you cannot always chasing your house. If you always chasing your house, it will be very troublesome.

Some people may oppose themselves as the emperor, some people may not like themselves, but they must not let everyone oppose themselves, and they cannot let everyone dislike themselves.

To put it in the past, it was to fight one faction, but now it's time to fight.

Although Xu Guangqi brought it over by himself, he did not have any direct subordinates to help him do things in terms of money.

If you want to interfere in the economy, someone must do things for themselves economically, otherwise there will be no hope.

In addition to these two points, the third place should be the official.

Although he temporarily calmed down the disputes in the court, defeated the Donglin Party, and brought Xu Guangqi up. However, Xu Guangqi's strength was still very weak. Although there were people helping him in the local area, there were not many.

Moreover, things in the officialdom are very complicated. It is not that I am yours and I have to help you do things, but that you have to bring me enough benefits.

Controversy over ideas, establishing academies, and next year's imperial examination are the focus of my next work.

It’s not easy to do in any of the three directions, but you still have to do it. If you don’t do it, it will definitely be even worse, so take your time!

My situation is much better now than when I was just traveling through time. At least Liaodong is stable and there is no need to worry.

Standing up and moving his muscles and bones, Zhu Youxiao walked outside the house.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside and taking a breath of fresh air, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. Today, he finally has the mood to enjoy the sunshine.

"The Emperor, Shen Tingjun, Minister of Rites, asked for a visit." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that someone would come to pay a visit to him at this time.

They came just three days after their wedding. Unexpectedly, Shen Tingyun was still here. It seemed that he was really anxious.

Zhu Youxiao has no choice but to do this

Shen Tingyun was promoted by himself, not to mention that they were doing practical things, so you can’t take the blame for this.

So Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let him come in!"

Not long after, Shen Tingyun walked in from outside.

He was holding two huge dark circles with red eyes, which could be seen as having a great stay-up late.

Before, when Zhu Youxiao was married, their Ministry of Rites was busy all the time. Shen Tingyun was afraid of making any mistakes.

Shen Tingyun knew very well about his own situation. Countless people regarded him as a thorn in his eyes and wanted to pull him out and then quickly, so he did not dare to make any mistakes. He could only work hard every day, making himself very tired.

Although Shen Tingyun should have a good rest and knew that he should not disturb Zhu Youxiao at this time, he really couldn't hold on.

Chen Tingyun needs to finalize the matter as soon as possible, even if he has to delay the matter after the finalization, he still needs to finalize it early.

"I am the Minister of Rites Chen Tingyun, please see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Tingyun quickly bowed.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal him to stand up, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with you here?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I know that you should not disturb Your Majesty at this time, but the matter is urgent. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." Chen Tingyun bowed and bowed again.
