Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 578 The transparent king of Zhennan

King Zhennan is a man who handles affairs in a timely manner. As he said, he was in a hurry, but he never neglected the etiquette, especially the pair of bracelets, which were given by the Taizu himself, can be the treasures of any mansion.

Master Hu couldn't help sighing again, dealing with smart people is peace of mind.

Looking at the pair of hired geese clinging to each other in front of him, Hu Wei stretched his brows and said.

"My lord is really considerate. It's the old man who was worrying too much. Please don't worry, my lord. This time, I will help my lord to handle the marriage proposal properly."

Zhu Huixun closed the box carefully, then returned to the chair and sat down, rubbed his hands together, and said.

"Of course, my king is relieved when Uncle Da Zong comes forward. However, there is one thing that Uncle Da Zong needs to bother to help."

Hu Wei then lifted his spirits, and he knew that if everything was well prepared, and there was only one person who proposed a marriage, how could it be possible for King Zhennan to rush to his house in such a hurry the next day after he arrived in Beijing? , and so politely.

This is obviously a gesture of asking for something!
"My lord, please tell me, if it can be done, I will try my best."

So, he saw that King Zhennan, who had been smiling since he entered the mansion, finally restrained his smile at this moment, sat upright, then got up and bowed to him, saying.

"Uncle Uncle, to be honest, the old man has been in very bad health these days. He dotes on Xi'er the most on weekdays. His only wish now is to watch Xi'er get married and start a career."

"So, if possible, this king thought that after the imperial court opened the seal, he would perform an auspicious ceremony. Yesterday in the palace, His Majesty also agreed to this matter, and ordered the Qin Tianjian to calculate a few days on the spot. On the twelfth day of the first lunar month , is a very good day, if you miss it, you will have to wait another three months."

"It's a bit rushed, but Da Zong please be considerate of me, this matter is really not easy to delay."

Hu Yi pinched his fingers and figured it out. If this date were to be followed, the remaining time would actually be less than a month, so he was indeed in a hurry.

You know, the etiquette is very complicated when the prince of the county gets married, and the three books and six rituals are inevitable.

Today, when Hu Yi and Yu Qian went to Jing'anbo's mansion, it can only be regarded as the first procedure of the six rituals, which is called acceptance.

Of course, since King Zhennan brought all Geng Tie here, if there is no other opinion from the Jing'an House, the Geng Tie was exchanged on the spot, and the procedure of asking for names can also be saved.

The next Najib is also easy to deal with. Since the emperor supports this marriage, the Qin Tianjian naturally dare not neglect it. It takes only one or two days to get the Gengtie and the horoscope of the birthday.

If all goes well, Najib will be followed by Nazheng, which is commonly known as the "gift of engagement".

Relatively speaking, Na Cai is relatively simple, it is to ask the woman's intention, the gift can be complicated, but it should not be too expensive.

That's why Hu Wei was surprised that when he was in Nacai, King Zhennan took out the pair of bracelets that Taizu rewarded him.

However, it's just one thing, it doesn't matter, but it will reflect the sincerity of the Zhennan Palace.

But the recruitment is different. Strictly speaking, the recruitment is the real recruitment.

The betrothal gifts brought by King Zhennan this time were full of more than 30 varieties, filling the flower hall of the Hu Mansion, which really showed the magnanimity of the Wang Mansion.

But this little thing is more than enough for collecting, but not enough for collecting.

Nazheng is also called too big a gift, and you need to bring a letter of engagement, a letter of ceremony, and it is a real dowry gift. This dowry gift is different from Nacai's dowry gift in that it requires a large number of samples and is also expensive.

Jade and pearl crowns, red gold and silver flowers, head and face jewelry, pearls and corals, pearl and flower wedding dresses, silk yarn, leather belts and ribbons, silk and satin, rouge gouache, pig and sheep wine and fruit, honey tea noodles...

People carry all kinds of gifts, if they are spread all over the street, people will say that the Zhennan Palace is stingy.

After accepting the levy, there is an application period, that is, to choose a good day and auspicious day to get married.

After the invitation period, there is a personal welcome, which is also the last ceremony of the six ceremonies, that is, the newlyweds get married.

The appointment and application period can be together, but in principle, there should be at least half a month to a month between the appointment and the welcome to prepare the dowry for the woman.

So, in other words, if Zhennan Wang really planned to arrange the wedding on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, then at least before Zhengdan, the big gift of Nazheng must be sent to Jing'anbo Mansion.

Before accepting a levy, you have to accept and ask for your name. Najib, although it is not complicated, but the whole process will take at least half a month...

After finishing the calculation, Hu Yan couldn't help but smiled wryly.

No wonder the King of Zhennan came to Beijing in a hurry yesterday, because if this calculation is really used, it is true that one day cannot be wasted.

Hu Yan said half as a joke, half as a complaint.

"My lord, if you do this, you will exhaust this old man to death!"

Hearing this, Zhu Huixun also gave a wry smile, got up and bowed, and said.

"Thanks for your hard work, great uncle. The child's marriage is indeed in a hurry, but this is also the wish of the old man at home. Don't worry, great uncle. If it can be handled smoothly, the Min Palace will definitely remember this kindness of great uncle."

Perhaps there was a certain servant for comparison, Mr. Hu sighed for the third time today, talking to smart people is really worry-free.

This king of Zhennan is so transparent that he deserves to be handed over to him!
It should be noted that if they were in another house, they might also be in a hurry to arrange the marriage, but the reason they often used was joy. However, Zhennan Wang never mentioned such a thing since he entered the door.

What he always said was to fulfill the wish of the old King Min.

It can be seen that it is cautious because of the difference in opinions.

The old King Min saw that time was running out. If the progress of the marriage was speeded up with the excuse of being happy, then if the old King Min passed away as soon as the crown prince passed away, how should the crown prince deal with herself?
However, since it is to fulfill the wish.

Then, once the marriage is completed, even if something happens to the old King Min, he will leave without regret. On the contrary, the Jing'anbo Mansion has no fault but kindness to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

What's more, although Hu Yan was joking just now, he was indeed telling the truth.

The marriage in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was rushed too fast. If Hu Yan was to continue with this job, he would be so busy this month that he would never touch the ground.

Yu Qian can't be counted on, he can come here today, it's a way to save face, after the six ceremonies, Yu Shaobao should follow suit, don't even think about it!

Therefore, the matter after Na Cai must have to run back and forth.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites has to step up the process.

You must know that the marriage of the prince's son is not something that can be done after the two parties have negotiated. After Najib, he must propose to the court, and after the approval of the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion, the recruitment can be made.

Undoubtedly, this matter has to be handled by Hu Wei, the Minister of Rites.

Therefore, this favor is a big sell.

If it was a different clan, maybe it would be embarrassing, or he knew it in his heart, but he refused to say it because of his status.

But this king of Zhennan was straightforward and neat, without the slightest airs.

Moreover, what he was talking about was not the Zhennan Palace, but the Min Palace!
Obviously, this is what he deliberately changed, and his intention was to tell Hu Wei that he was not only the King of Zhennan, but also the entire Min Palace.

This marriage was originally the intention of the old Min King. In addition, it was already a certainty that Zhu Huixun would inherit the Min King's throne, so his statement would naturally not be empty talk.

He is so knowledgeable and interesting, it's hard for Hu Wei to refuse, so he handed over his words.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's such a good thing, even if the old man breaks his bones, he will definitely send the eldest son and the daughter of the Fan family into the bridal chamber smoothly!"

Just leave as soon as you say, since you agreed, Mr. Hu will not delay any longer, and immediately got up and said.

"Since that's the case, I don't want to delay any longer. After changing clothes, I will take the young prince's Geng Tie and Yu Shaobao to the Jing'an uncle's mansion to propose marriage. My lord, please go back to the mansion and wait for the good news."

When the matter was done, Zhu Huixun was naturally very happy, a slit was squeezed out of his fat face, and he also got up and cupped his hands, saying.

"Then please leave it to Uncle Da Zong and Yu Shaobao."

Afterwards, Hu Wei and Yu Qian sent Zhennan King outside the gate of the mansion together. Seeing the guard of honor of the county king outside slowly disappearing at the corner of the street, the two returned to the flower hall and sat down again.

Without the great god Zhennan Wang, Mr. Hu finally sat back comfortably on the main seat in his house, picked up the fragrant tea, and took a sip intoxicated.

"Uncle Da Zong, when shall I leave?"

Hu Yan was not in a hurry, but Yu Qian's heart had already flown out.

Hu Dazong is used to the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of War can't do it. During these days, Yu Qian has been watching the Ministry all the time because of the military affairs.

It's been less than half an hour since he came out, and he felt frizzy in his heart and couldn't calm down.

Facing King Zhennan, Hu Wei was polite, but facing Qianqian, he was a senior, so he was naturally at ease.

Slowly putting down the teacup in his hand, looking at Yu Qian who was eager to finish his work and go back to the ministry to work overtime, Hu Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

what is it today?I met a workaholic in the morning...

After enlightening an elm head just now, Mr. Hu said that he was very tired.

But even so, he still took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, the old man and Ting Yi haven't seen each other for a while, you might as well chat with me, the old man, before it's too late."

Yu Qian really wanted to say, we just met yesterday when we went to court, how come we haven't seen each other for a while, are you sleepy?

However, this is not suitable to say, Yu Qian can only complain in his heart, and then suppress the impetuousness in his heart, and then said tactfully.

"Mr. Jie'an wants to talk, and Yu X should accompany him. However, seeing the appearance of Zhennan Wang just now, he attaches great importance to this marriage. You might as well get the business done first. After returning, Yu X will have a chat with Mr. Jie'an again. How about it?"

Believe in you!

If the old man can still catch you if you go out from the Jing'an uncle's mansion, write the Hu characters upside down!

There was a smile on Hu Wei's face, but there was also a sneer in his heart.

If possible, he didn't want to waste this time on Yu Qian's wooden body.

But... Alas, there is no way, who called him Boss Hu, his mind is too alert, and he can always see things that others can't see...

Facing Yu Qian's urging, Hu Wei waved his hand, indicating that the servant brought another cup of hot tea, put it in front of Yu Qian, and said.

"Don't worry, drink tea, drink tea, the old man just came back from the Ministry of Rites, and it's time to rest for a cup of tea, it's not too late to leave."

Now Yu Qian was at his wit's end. Speaking of this, he couldn't continue urging him any longer. In desperation, he picked up the tea cup to moisten his throat, but as soon as he picked it up, he found that the tea was terribly hot.

Well, it seems that this great uncle has made up his mind today and wants to keep him for a while longer.

After all, Yu Qian is not a dull person, Hu Wei even hinted to this point, if he still doesn't understand, he will just stay in court for nothing.

Putting down the somewhat hot teacup, his anxious expression just now was swept away, he looked at Hu Mei, and said sternly
"Uncle Da Zong, what do you want to say?"

Hu Yan smacked his lips. Although he knew that Yu Qian had such a personality, he still couldn't help but miss the time when he just talked to Zhennan Wang.

Everyone is knowledgeable and interesting, and tacitly said everything that should be said, which is great.

It's boring to have to choose so clearly...

Sighing, Hu Wei took another sip of warm tea to moisten his throat, and immediately began to speak.

"I think Tingyi is not as calm and composed as usual today, but the Ministry of War's rectification of the army is not advancing smoothly?"

Yu Qian was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that Hu Wei, who had always been concerned about government affairs that had nothing to do with him, would care about the affairs of the Ministry of War as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, it was just a bit of a surprise, after pondering for a moment, Yu Qian said.

"That's right, we did encounter difficulties. During this trip to the border, what Yu found out was shocking. The corruption in the military settlements involved a lot. What was announced in the court today has been deleted, and the behind-the-scenes involvement unimaginable."

"So, during the past few days, when the Ministry of War was formulating a rectification plan, there were also differences. Some advocated that the United Metropolitan Procuratorate should strictly govern and severely punish those who dare to corrupt the laws and regulations of the state, while others think that it should be pushed forward slowly and should not be involved. If it is too large, otherwise the border will be unstable and the court situation will be in turmoil, and a little carelessness will lead to catastrophe."

Regarding the specific situation, Yu Qian did not hide it because it was unnecessary.

These matters have been discussed many times in the Ministry of War, although according to the rules, it is strictly forbidden to spread them outside.

However, since it was on the ministerial meeting and so many people participated, it was impossible that no news would spread.

What's more, for Hu Wei, a minister of Qiqing level, there are actually very few confidential affairs that he cannot foresee.

Many things are confidential to others, but to Qiqing, there is no need to hide them.

Moreover, to be honest, this matter has a great impact, so Yu Qian has been weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Now that Hu Wei mentioned it, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

After all, this old man has been in office for several dynasties, if he can make some suggestions, it must be very helpful.

However, facing Qian Qian's earnest gaze, Hu Wei shook his head and said.

"It's common for such a big matter to have disagreements. It's a matter of careful discussion and careful consideration. This is not a day's work. Why are you so impatient, Ting Yi?"

After a short pause, Mr. Hu slowed down his voice, took another sip of tea, and said.

"Although it is said that the matter of rectifying the military settlements is initiated by the Ministry of War, you, the minister of the Ministry of War, don't have to do everything yourself. You should leave it to the subordinates to argue and discuss, and leave it to them. You can do what you should do yourself. And don't get bogged down by these trivial matters."

……

Yu Qian's face was a little disappointed, he sighed in his heart, his expression was very complicated.

How could he believe that the great uncle, who has always been wise and safe, would get involved in this vortex of the Ministry of War for no reason...

Subconsciously touched the teacup and found it was still hot.

So, Yu Qian had no choice but to withdraw his hand again, and said in a muffled voice.

"The thing that Uncle Da Zong said should be done, is it possible to propose marriage for others?"

These words were obviously a rhetorical question, but at the next moment, Master Hu nodded with a teachable face and said.

"It's natural!"
