Chapter 029: The Emperor's Wedding

March in the first year of the Apocalypse.

In addition to discussing the Liaodong issue, the emperor's marriage also began to be handled. In the palace, Li Xuandai, Zhao Xuanshi, the concubines of Zhu Changluo, called Zhu Youxiao to Ciqing Palace for discussion.

Li Xuanshi had moved out of the cold palace and moved into Ciqing Palace. Li Xuanshi was the most beloved woman of the late emperor Zhu Changluo, and was inexplicably involved in the political whirlpool. In order to control the new king, the Donglin Party kicked Li Xuanshi out of the game. Not only did she slander Li Xuanshi's intention to imitate Wu Zetian, but she also said that she abused the crown prince. She even said that Zhu Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen was also killed by Li Xuanshi. She was then driven into the cold palace and almost burned to death by fire.

Before Zhu Changluo passed away, he planned to confer Li Xuanshi as his concubine, and explained in front of his ministers. As a result, after Zhu Changluo passed away, the enthronement was no longer the case.

The accusation that Li Xuanshi intended to imitate Wu Zetian could be seen by smart people, which was completely slander. After all, the concubines in the Ming Dynasty were selected from the innocent girls, and the concubines in the palace had no foundation in the court. What did Li Xuanshi use to imitate Wu Zetian?

As for staying in the Ganqing Palace and not leaving, Li Xuanshi naturally had her little thoughts. After all, in Zhu Changluo's fate during his lifetime, she only had to confer her as a concubine, so she naturally wanted to be in charge of the world. But this did not conflict with the emperor's power, and for a fourteen-year-old new king, having a parent guided her for a few years is also beneficial to the new king.

The Donglin Party was also afraid that Li Xuanshi would become the second Empress Dowager Li, turned Zhu Youxiao into a monarch like Emperor Wanli, and supported the reform party to carry out reforms in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Li Xuanshi had to kick Li Xuanshi out of the game, and Li Xuanshi's biggest weakness was that he had not been enthroned. Although the late emperor had a last order, the people would die, and the Donglin Party could naturally ignore it.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had initially been able to fight against the Donglin Party, and the defense in the palace became very strict, and it was unlikely that the Donglin Party would secretly kill the emperor. So not long ago, Zhu Youxiao took Li Xuanshi and Huang Bamei out of the cold palace and arranged to live in Ciqing Palace. He also assigned Li Xuanshi several palace maids to serve him.

After Li Xuanshi moved into Ciqing Palace, his whole mood improved a lot. Although she could not interfere in politics, it was not very meaningful to a woman whether she could interfere in politics. After all, she was also a private girl, and her family had little room for growth, so naturally she did not have the ** to control the finances.

During this period, Li Xuanshi was bored and worried about the emperor's marriage with Zhao Xuandai and others. Li Xuanshi said to Zhu Youxiao: "Emperor, you are fifteen years old now and will be a grown-up next year. The marriage must be arranged as soon as possible."

"Yes! Now, Emperor, you are not suitable to live alone in the military camp all day. It is better to get married early." Zhao Xuanzhi was also very worried about the emperor's marriage. They were idle all day long, but the emperor's marriage could be handled.

"Okay! Then I'll bother you all." Zhu Youxiao agreed, and at the same time he was a little excited. He didn't know what kind of beauty he could choose this talent show.

Soon the imperial court issued an edict to the emperor for a wedding and selected five thousand beautiful girls from the people.

Five thousand girls are the primary candidates, and their appearance must be at least passed. Next, these girls have to pass five levels and kill six generals. After evaluations from all aspects, only a small number of girls can enter the palace and wait for selection. This small number of girls will also go through nearly half a year of observation in the palace, and finally three people will be selected, and the emperor will be appointed by the queen.

Five thousand beauties choose a queen.

I was really excited to think about it, and Zhu You proofreads the draft and is full of expectations.

Looking forward to the rules and expectations, Zhu Youxiao still moved into the military camp as usual. After several months of training, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the Wuxiang Cavalry Division were able to arrange neatly storm formations.

However, during the charge, you can still jog and charge. At this level, protecting the infantry is enough. If the enemy cavalry wants to charge against their own infantry, the cavalry division will definitely win. However, if you take the initiative to attack, such a charge speed will be easily flew kites.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao began to continuously strengthen the discipline of the cavalry division. Except for not being in the military camp when he was going to court, most of the time he moved to the military camp for food and accommodation.

With the emperor leading by example, all the soldiers of the cavalry division were cheering up and worked hard to carry out training. In addition to training team charges, Zhu Youxiao also advocated soldiers to practice riding and martial arts diligently, so that they could face various combat environments.

Zhu Youxiao set an example in this regard. At this time, Zhu Youxiao was just a fifteen-year-old boy, full of energy. He knew the importance of exercise, so he practiced riding and martial arts very diligently in the military camp.

As the government says that it is a poor and wealthy martial arts, Zhu Youzhai's conditions are very good. Although there is financial problems in the royal family, at least there is money to practice martial arts, and there is sufficient material supply. There is also someone to guide him. The big master around Zhu Youzhai is named Wang Jinli. The eunuch in his fifties looks like he is about 30 years old. He is an internal boxing master and taught Zhu Youzhai a set of internal breathing methods.

This kind of martial arts is not suitable for battlefield fighting. For example, during the anti-Japanese war, monks from Nan Shaolin reinforced the battlefield. Their personal martial arts were very good, but the martial arts style was not suitable for fighting on the battlefield and they were defeated by Japanese pirates. Later, Yu Dayou discussed these monks and changed their style before overcoming this problem.

So Zhu Youxiao only learned an internal method of breathing and breathing. He practiced riding and a move suitable for battlefield fighting in daily life. The style is simple and direct, which is just in line with Zhu Youxiao's appetite.

I don’t know whether it is because of the sufficient material supply or because of the time traveler, after a few months, Zhu Youxiao found that his physical fitness had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his martial arts also made amazing progress.

After several months of observation, among the officers of the Cavalry Division, two of them entered Zhu Youxiao's vision. One was named Wang Xiongwu, who was originally a hundred-family family. He was as strong as a bear, had superb martial arts skills, was both courageous, and had a strong personality and good command ability. After Zhu Youxiao considered it, he appointed Wang Xiongwu as the commander of the Wuxiang Cavalry Division.

Another one is Li Wei, who is from the Tengxiang Right Guard. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a young man. When he was a young man, he passed the exam for the title of scholar. Later, he traveled with a sword and visited all the martial arts masters in the world. Later, his father passed away, and Li Wei made up for his father's vacancies and became the true Tengxiang Right Guard. Li Wei was very amazing in martial arts, had a good literary talent, and had a style of Confucian general. Zhu Youzheng General Li Wei was appointed as the commander of the Tengxiang Cavalry Division.

Zhu Youxiao appointed the two of them as commanders of the Cavalry Division, mainly based on their martial arts and courage, command and military management level.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had huge manpower and material resources. As long as Zhu Youxiao could improve his fiscal revenue, the army would have as much as possible. What they feared most on the battlefield was not that the generals had no strategy, but that the generals were afraid of death.

As long as these generals are not afraid of death and have enough courage, their soldiers will not be afraid. The courage is linked to martial arts. As the saying goes, those with high skills can be brave. Moreover, high skills can convince the public, making it easier to command.

Even if he fought hard on the battlefield and suffered heavy losses, Zhu Youxiao could still pull more troops to join the battlefield. As long as each unit could fight bravely, Zhu Youxiao would ensure the training and equipment level of these troops. No matter how much wild boar skin is, it would cost them all to waste.

The appointment of the commanders of the two cavalry divisions also brought training to the right track. Zhu Youxiao did not need to keep an eye on it normally. Zhu Youxiao, who had freed up his hands, decided to start rectifying the Beijing Camp.>
