Getting a family and starting a career, starting a family first, and then starting a career. After passing the Jinshi exam, the marriage situation must be reported to the court. If you have not gotten married, the court will generally give you a holiday and get married as soon as possible. For example, when Mr. Xu was nineteen years old, he went home to get married with a grand ceremony.

The country and the world are all over the country. With a wife, people will be determined and the court will use it with confidence. Of course, widowed people like Tang Shen will be able to report to the court. There is no need to rush to get married, but they cannot be a bachelor all the time.

Tang Shen knew it in his heart, but he always wanted to delay it if possible. First, he had a deep relationship with his deceased wife, and second, his son was not big or small. Tang Yi was smart and sensitive. If he couldn't get along with his stepmother and was in trouble, wouldn't he be in the middle?

But he never thought that he could hide around, but he could not escape, "Isn't Your Majesty the Supreme Practice? Why did he think of being a matchmaker?" Tang Shen was full of doubts.

"Eunuch Feng, please be brave enough to ask why you asked me to tell me about this matter, but Your Majesty has the will?"

Feng Bao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are in love with me, how could Your Majesty force me to get married? But there is a marriage in front of you, which is really suitable. After hearing this, His Majesty immediately asked Master Xu to come over, and he agreed. Let us ask Lord Tang to come over, meet and make sure the day."

"Oh?" Tang Yi suddenly asked, "Ask Eunuch Feng, who is the woman?"

Feng Bao smiled and said with a smile: "Young Master Tang, don't worry, you are definitely worthy of Ling Zun. It's simply a match made by heaven."

Tang Shen and his son looked at each other and said a little apologetically: "Yi'er, why don't you go and see it, even if it doesn't work, you have to make it clear."

Tang Yi saw the embarrassment of his father and smiled heartily: "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu agree, just agree, the child thinks it is absolutely not bad."

Tang Shen nodded, changed into a brand new official uniform, and followed Feng Bao to Xiyuan anxiously.

...

Only Tang Yi was left at home. He first wrote for a while, then went to the backyard to practice fists and feet, and was sweating all over, sitting in the pavilion. Looking at the lotus flowers, the more he looked, the more he became more irritable he felt.

At the beginning, it was just a small seed, but now it was already in my heart, with a soft heart and restlessness. In theory, you must abide by the rules when you become an official, including getting married. If you are always a bachelor, you will be chewed at the root of your gossip.

Tang Yi and his father are more brothers than father and son. He thought that his father would get married, but he would only be happy. However, when he really fell on his head, he was far from being so carefree.

I was irritable and depressed, and I was entangled in my heart. I sat blankly on the pavilion, motionless. I let the cool breeze with water vapor blow, but I couldn't blow my heart's knot...

"Young master, eat some mung bean soup to cool down and get rid of the heat." Shen Lin held the big bowl and delivered it to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi glanced at him and scolded, "How do you know I'm getting angry?"

Shen Lin curled his lips and said to himself that you have written all your unhappiness on your face. You can't see it if you have bad eyes!

After pondering for a while, Shen Lin mustered up the courage to say, "Young Master, it's nothing. My mother left when she was five or six years old. My father married a stepmother. She treats me very well, whether she wears or eats, she never tells my father if she gets into trouble, just..."

Speaking of the sad place, Shen Lin's eyes were bleak. If his parents were there, how could it be his turn to be a book boy for others?

Tang Yi patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Is there anyone who comforts people like you? I'm not doing well, are you crying first?"

Chen Lin hurriedly wiped his tears, burst into tears and said with a smile: "It's all my fault that I'm too stupid. The young master is a smart person who can figure it out."

"The smarter the person, the more likely he is to get stubborn. Forget it, let's not talk about me anymore. When you return to the south, give Lao Tantou a hundred acres of land and twenty looms, you won't have to be servants..."

After plopping, Chen Lin was so scared that his little face changed color, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, Xiao Linzi did something wrong. If you want to beat him, you will be punished. You can't ignore Xiao Linzi! Please, please!"

Chen Lin kowtowed in desperation, and his little forehead turned red. Tang Yi quickly pulled him up and complained: "What are you kowtowing me? I don't know if I've finished listening to you? I didn't drive you away again. Do you still remember? I said I asked you to follow the young master to govern the country and pacify the world! Go back and study with the young master to see which of us will bring back a scholar first!"

"Ah!" Chen Lin's face turned red, he jumped up excitedly, and ran towards his room.

"Young Master, I'm going to practice calligraphy!"

...

"Long live my emperor!" Tang Shen finished his salute and bowed to the ground.

"Haha, let's calm down!" Jiajing's gentle laughter came, and he could hear that he admired Tang Shen very much. Tang Shen quickly thanked him and stood with his hands down.

"Tang Shen, so many people recommend you to serve as the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister, the Rongzheng Minister of the Beijing Camp, to consolidate the army and guard against the Tartars. Why do you insist on refusing? Could it be that you think the official position is small?"

Tang Shen quickly knelt down and said loudly: "Weichen is just a new Jinshi. He has been lucky enough to make contributions and can serve as the military chief and train troops to fight against the Japanese. He is already a great favor and is extremely promoted. If he is promoted again, wouldn't he hear that the high places are too cold, and Weichen will be frozen into a popsicle!"

When Jiajing heard what he said was interesting, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could I not know? It's just that why do you have to go to Jiangnan to fight against the Japanese? Stay in the capital. The doctor of the Ministry of War is yours. If Altan invades again, I'll feel at ease with you."

After many experiences, Tang Shen also knew that Jiajing was the last test for himself and he had to be strong and satisfy the emperor.

"I heard from Your Majesty that Altan has been invading for many years. He seems to be a vicious person, but in fact he is strong outside and is a man. When it comes to threats, it is far from comparable to a hundred decades ago."

"Oh, the Mongols did decline, but my border camp of the Ming Dynasty disappointed me even more!" When Jiajing mentioned this, his tone became much higher, and obviously he still had resentment in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to say that if you want to compete with the cavalry, you must have elite field soldiers, which cannot be solved in a day or two. The Northern Barbarians are not much better, but they cannot be damaged. The Japanese pirates in the southeast are different. Because the Japanese pirates poison the south of the Yangtze River, the trade is not smooth, the sea transportation is not smooth, and even the grain transportation is threatened. Once the Japanese pirates become bigger, the food and wages in the southeast cannot be transported north. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. The Northern Barbarians will not only be able to suppress them, but will also cause greater disasters. Similarly, the Japanese pirates in the southeast have been settled, and a large amount of wealth is transported to the capital and the nine borders. With the food and wages, as long as the people are used properly, there is no need to worry about not being able to train the powerful troops to defeat the enemy!"

Tang Shen's words were clearly explained by the situation in the north and south, and Jiajing nodded frequently.

"Very good, I did not misunderstand the wrong person. This is the case. I must reward great achievements. Since I don't want to be promoted, I will be the Yue Lao. Master Xu and Duke Cheng are waiting in the side hall. You go and talk to them. If you want, I will issue an order."

Duke Cheng?

Tang Shen was stunned for a moment. He had thought about countless women from other families, but he didn't expect that they would be the daughter of the general. The two sides were separated by the world and they were completely incompatible!

He was fainted and came to the side hall. Xu Jie had been waiting here for a long time. A middle-aged general sat opposite him, wearing a python robe, long and fat, with a big light golden face, three chins, and his eyes were gone when he smiled.

Tang Shen skipped a beat at first sight. But when this guy saw Tang Shen, he looked up and down, and laughed with his hands.

"Okay, it's true that he is a handsome talent. Master Xu, I finally let go of my heart!"

Xu Jie also smiled and said, "Zicheng, come and see you quickly. This is Duke Cheng, Zhu Xizhong, and you will be a family in the future."

"Wait..." Tang Shen said with a bitter face: "Master, please let me clarify first, what's going on?"

"What's wrong with this? My sister has fallen in love with you. In a word, would you like to marry our girl!" Zhu Xizhong said pretending to be angry.

Xu Jie smiled and told the matter... It started with Zhu Xizhong. He inherited the Duke of Chengguo in the fifteenth year of Jiajing. He was only twenty years old at that time. It happened to be in the late period of the Great Ceremony. The court was in chaos. As a young man, maintaining the glory of his ancestors became Zhu Xizhong's most important task. He was agile and good at making friends, and climbed the line of Lu Bing. Later, Jiajing visited Chengtian and went to the palace to go to water. Fortunately, Lu Bing rushed in and rescued Jiajing. At that time, Zhu Xizhong also followed him, and the two came out with Jiajing on their backs.

With the achievements of saving the emperor, Zhu Xizhong became the leader of all the heroes, and was able to enter Zhixiyuan and take charge of the Beijing camp, which suddenly became popular.

Although he made the family prosperous, he ignored his sister Zhu Lingxi. The little girl was in her early twenties and liked to play with swords and guns. She also pulled a group of maids and women to arrange troops, making it look very good.

Zhu Xizhong just thought she was just a relief, but when she talked about the marriage with her sister, she almost scared Zhu Xizhong to death. The girl was arrogant and actually asked to find someone who could be literary and martial. It doesn’t matter how old she is, the key is not to be a living, and she must be able to surrender her.

Zhu Xizhong's head was three times bigger. Ordinary noble families were just married to each other, and at most they found some wealthy businessmen or rising stars in the army.

After more than a hundred years of Chengping, there are so many dandy people in the circle, and not many capable ones are. Zhu Xizhong found his wife, and the couple advised the girl to marry her as a daughter, and not to give up on those.

Who knew that the girl was too old to be a brother? Zhu Lingxi made a harsh statement. If her husband didn't agree with her, she would immediately become a monk, which made Zhu Xizhong have no choice but to search everywhere. Some time ago, he heard that Xu Bangyang, the youngest son of Duke of Wei, was handsome and had a good literary talent, so he went to the letter and wanted to meet him.

But before she could see Xu Bangyang, Zhu Lingxi took the initiative to find her and said that she had a sweetheart, just Tang Shen, a new Jinshi. Zhu Xizhong did not dare to disobey the girl's wishes. After inquiring, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This man is in his early thirties and is a little older, but he has outstanding character and good military achievements. He was also a Jinshi, a favorite minister of the emperor, and a disciple of Xu Ge Lao.

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Xizhong was overjoyed and immediately patted his chest to make a promise.

He was afraid that Tang Shen would not agree, so he found Jiajing first. Originally, Emperor Daojun didn't like these messy things, but when he heard that the candidate was Tang Shen, he immediately made a decision.

"It's done, I personally issue an order!" (~^~)
