Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 436 The Wedding of King Qi
The coronation ceremony is over, and what is waiting for Zhu Youjian is the next wedding...

Compared with the warmth and warmth of ordinary people, the ordinary lively, the big wedding that Zhu Youjian faces is very different.

When he came to the Wuying Hall with Yang Rushi and others on horseback, he saw civil and military officials on both sides of the Sanlong Bridge road. All of them wore court clothes and saluted when they saw Zhu Youjian.

In front of the Sanlong Bridge, Sun Chengzong held a red satin, indicating that he was the envoy responsible for the marriage this time.

"His Highness, please wait a moment, the deputy envoy has already gone to meet the concubine..."

In Sun Chengzong's words, only the main concubine Yuan Xipin was mentioned, and the other five concubines were not mentioned. The reason for this was that the status of the other five concubines was not enough.

Not surprisingly, except for the main concubine who can come to the Wuying Hall, the other five concubines will wait for the final second visit in the hall of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Zhu Youjian didn't have any thoughts about this, but nodded slightly, expressing his response to Sun Chengzong, and then looked down at Yang Rushi.

Yang Ru understood what Zhu Youjian meant, so he explained:
"Your Highness is only a first-level regulation, so you can't follow His Majesty's big wedding. For example, at present, normally, the chief and deputy envoys need to bow to His Majesty four times, and then take the case, the case, and go out from the middle door of the main hall. , the dowry followed closely behind."

"Afterwards, the ordering officer needs to tell the chief and deputy envoys what to do, and sing, "I choose a certain official and a certain woman as the queen, and order the minister to perform the ceremony of accepting and asking for fame."

The climate and geographical environment of Beishan doomed that without the entry of foreign food, it was impossible to gather city-states and cities in the local area.

"King Qi is a thousand years old!"

"Transfer them all to Guo Sangdai, and then send a battalion of gunners from the Eastern Army's Governor's Mansion to support him, and send him 50 catties of artillery by the way, so that he can prepare the shotgun and stone bullets himself."

Some of the people on both sides of the road are booing and shouting, some are sincerely wishing, and some are howling to get the red envelope.

"Respectfully invite King Qi and Princess Qi to enter the Hall of Martial Heroes..."

He followed Zhu Youjian and the others from a distance, watching them worship the family temple at a distance of dozens of steps, and then he spoke to Zhu Youjian when they walked out:
"My brother is going back today, so don't stay with me for too long at the wedding banquet, let Cheng En and Hua Chun accompany you."

Coupled with the status of the princess, even if Zhou Sujie, Tian Xiuying, Wei Pingyang, Li Shaoxi, and Chen Xiangjun have different personalities, they will not disobey Yuan Xicong in front of her.

Zhu Youjian thought about it, and after waiting for Wang Chengen to come back, he opened the window and asked:

In this situation, the Yanshan five-jin cannon is enough to deal with the situation.

"Um……"

"How's the production at the Bureau of Ordnance?"

"In the future, the chief and deputy envoys will set off from Fengtianmen with the case and festival case. When they arrive at Fengtianmen, they will also need to put the case and festival case in the wedding ceremony of the queen, and then take off their court clothes and go on horseback. Alright, let’s set off from Daming Gate with the drum band and head straight to the official’s house.”

It's just that although he doesn't have a beard, thanks to his mother Liu's good looks, no matter what era he is in, he can earn a living based on his appearance.

Gold, silver and copper coins, beautiful jade and jewelry...

Therefore, since the Wanli period, Beishan has been on the verge of food shortage, and many guards can only be relocated and split up to hunt in the vast Nuergan area to survive.

Thousands of catties of chime bells are pulled by a four-horse carriage, and the horses are tall and strong, and Zhu Youjian is very familiar with them.

"Without the red hijab, it is true that Daming does not look down on the Southern Song Dynasty..."

With a little embarrassment, the two entered the Hall of Martial Arts under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, and after entering the square of the Hall of Martial Arts, the square was covered with gold, silver, jewels and beautiful jade, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

In the 14th year of Chenghua, six people including Wu Dingo from Aguhewei (now the Agu River Basin in the Far East of Russia) were beheaded for violating the Ming Dynasty's decree.

Yuan Xipin was attractive, he already knew that, if he was not attractive enough, someone like Chongzhen who devoted himself to state affairs would not have dealt with him when he was still in his residence .

As for why this group of guys have not used force, I am afraid that the reason is the same as Zhu Youjian's thoughts back then.

It is better to let Guo Sangdai rely on blood transfusion from Ming Dynasty to develop Nuergan. When the Ming army really wants to make a northern expedition, they will clean up Guo Sangdai in advance, give Dajin a bigger strategic depth space, and get 10,000+ mu of ready-made cultivated land by the way.

For example, after the canonization ceremonies were over, Zhu Youjian was asked to change into a crown dress, and Yuan Xipin was asked to change into a dress, and then they had to go to Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the emperor's family temple by themselves.

He didn't expect that he could see his younger brother's wedding with his own eyes. For a moment, he was a little bit reluctant and jealous.

Calculated, it will take at least two full hours to walk.

With his actions, Yuan Xipin immediately looked away, and Wang Chengen who was outside the car window also opened the car window in surprise.

After all, it is Zhu Youjian who has experienced the baptism of makeup and beauty in later generations. He is very satisfied with Yuan Xipin's appearance, but he is not as gaffe as others.

In other words, under the appearance and demeanor, Yuan Xibin's original likes were all thrown out of the blue by her.

To put it bluntly, the Beishan Jurchen, who had mushroom hair and drank blood, suddenly changed from a tribal system to a city-state system, which made people feel strange.

"King Qi is a thousand years old!"

A group of red men and green women dressed in fancy clothes and played various musical instruments entered the palace.

"Your maidservant takes orders..." Wang Chengen's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he quickly agreed, then closed the car window, and went to find someone to explain.

For them, these two portraits are only representative, but for Zhu Youjian, he finds them novel.

"Inheriting the order of heaven alone, and showing great ambitions. The way of governing the country is based on the family. The relationship between husband and wife, the righteousness of the universe..."

Huang Taiji's thoughts are the same as Zhu Youjian's at the beginning, and the fact is indeed the case.

When Zhu Youxiao said this, he sighed inexplicably in his heart, or he felt a little sighed this day.

Next, the guard of honor and female musicians and drummers performed one after another, and Yuan Xibing, like Zhu Youjian, was called to change into a more luxurious wedding dress.

"It's a bit of the style of the Western Regions..."

The wedding banquet and so on have been prepared in Qi Wangfu, but Zhu Youxiao obviously can't go there.

"Uncle Fifth, please..."

In the final analysis, they are just concubines, unless Zhu Youjian acquiesced, no one would dare to contradict the concubine, not even the two concubines Wei Pingyang and Li Shaoxi.

However, after the ceremony, they still need to go through some cumbersome procedures.

Zhu Youjian and Yuan Xibin took over the seal from Zhu Ciran and Zhu Shu'e, two golden boys and girls, which means the ceremony is complete.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang imitated the Tang system, so naturally there was no such thing as a red hijab.

That was supposed to be a Sharma in the officialdom, but now it is being used as a draft horse for a big wedding bell.

"Your servant takes orders..." Wang Chengen responded, and Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a "Cui Ren" slowly driving into the front of the Sanlong Bridge in the Hall of Martial Arts, surrounded by hundreds of wedding parties.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, after the imprisonment of women was intensified, the red hijab began to appear again.

"rise……"

The two maidservants got out of the carriage first, and then Zhu Youjian saw Yuan Xipin, who was wearing a phoenix crown, a long-sleeved gown, and a red skirt inside, who was also his legal concubine.

"Let You Shigong and the people from the Supervision Department remind Guo Sangdai respectively that the Jianlu might attack him, and tell him to be careful. If he is attacked, he can stick to it."

"This is the output of the fourth version of the steam engine after it entered the Ordnance Bureau. There are still more than 60 battalions that have not been replaced. I am afraid..."

During this process, Zhu Youjian didn't think much of the gazes of civil and military officials, but he always felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Today, the palace alone sent deputy envoys to the Yuan Mansion to welcome the concubine. They would have already arrived at the Yuan Manor to present the bride price when His Highness performed the coronation ceremony."

There is no arable land in Beishan that can support so many people, Huang Taiji knows very well.

It was a bit tiring for these followers, but they were very happy in their hearts, because if the bounties on the car were not distributed at the end, they would basically be shared equally.

"Concubine Qi needs to be respectful and respectful. The king of Qi is in charge of the battle outside. Don't let him worry about the affairs of the palace and the court when he is outside."

Chongzhen is like this, let alone others, it is normal to be unable to grasp it.

Before and after Xiangren, there were more than a thousand eunuchs, officials, and maidservants from the inner court, the Ministry of Rites, and the Qi Palace.

Even after the abolition of the Nuergan Dusi, the chiefs of the Northeast guards will have to gather in Nuergancheng, and then go down the Heilongjiang River to Kaiyuan, Liaodong to gather and then go to Beijing to pay tribute, invite attacks, and report their duties.

Now Huang Taiji and the others think the same way. They feel that it is not good to divide the troops. It is obviously a loss-making business to attack Guo Sangdai before the end of the mountain.

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand and helped Yuan Xibin get off the emerald, and at the same time glanced at Yuan Xibin who showed his face in front of everyone.

The ministers of civil and military affairs, Zhu Youxiao and others entered the Wuying Hall one after another, and the portraits of Ming Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiaoci Gao Empress Ma Shi were hung high in the hall.

Zhang Yan didn't really believe that her uncle would acquiesce in which concubine riding on the head of the main concubine. After all, except for Wanli and Taichang, normal male masters don't like chaos in the inner court.

Zhu Youjian waited quietly on the horseback for a while, and then heard the music getting louder and louder, until the gate of Xihua Gate opened not far away.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan sat in front of their portraits, facing Zhu Youjian and Yuan Xipin.

He only felt that after his younger brother got married, even if he was the emperor, he could no longer enter and leave the inner court of the Qi Palace, and Zhu Youjian would definitely spend some time with his family.

Zhu Youjian did not pursue it. He knew that the four horses should have been brought to the capital by Wang Chengen, and they would be returned to the officialdom after being used temporarily.

This is why, in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the Nuergan area could be restrained until the Wanli period.

He looked at the portrait, and then stood in the hall with Yuan Xibin.

"In addition, the fifth concubine's wedding still needs to continue. My brother is working hard today, so don't be too busy at night."

They stood in two rows, with hundreds of large carts in the middle, and there were copper coins and red envelopes wrapped with red thread on the carts.

Yuan Xipin couldn't help taking a look, while Zhu Youjian looked up at the high platform of the Hall of Martial Arts.

Zhu Ciran and Zhu Shu'e played the role of the golden boy and jade girl, standing beside them holding the seal symbolizing the princess.

Although the physical age is only 20 years old, Zhu Youjian, who actually lived nearly 50 years old, is getting married for the first time.

"How much is the stock of the five-pound cannon and the rifle?" Zhu Youjian interrupted his report and asked.

Although the training is training, they have no actual combat, at best they are the combat power of the Ming soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses can defend the city no matter how they cook.

"The monthly output is three thousand five-pound cannons, one thousand ten-pound cannons, five hundred twenty-pound cannons, three hundred twenty-five-pound cannons, nine thousand infantry blunderbusses, and three thousand riding blunderbusses." He added:

To put it bluntly, it is to rely on food to control and manage Beishan Jurchen, so Beishan Jurchen was basically the object of manipulation in the Ming Dynasty.

"According to the time, it should be about the same..."

At this time, Yang Rushi knocked on the car door three times with the jade in his hand, and the door was opened.

"There will be more in the future, but they will basically be the same as this big wedding."

The Zhu Youjian in Yuan Xipin's eyes is actually similar to the evaluation of Zhu Youjian by the officials, and the daily life commentators describe Zhu Youjian the most.

Among them, Huang Taiji transferred Jierhalang and Liangbaiqi to Xishen City, which attracted his attention the most.

It was Gu Bingqian who read out the marriage words. After he read out the cumbersome marriage words of hundreds of words, the two Hanlin editors left the scene. They needed to send the wedding congratulatory form to the Supervisor of Rituals to return to their orders.

Yuan Xipin was distracted by Zhu Youjian's reading, but Zhu Youjian was dealing with the urgent memorials in his hand.

However, when he saw the memorial in his highness's hand, he immediately understood that his highness might have something to order.

To defend the city, the only support is artillery and kerosene.

"Guo Sangdai..."

Zhu Youjian was sitting in the elephant chair, and next to him was Yuan Xipin, who watched his nose and heart with his eyes.

Zhu Youjian whispered Guo Sangdai's name, and after thinking about it, he reached out and tapped on the car window lightly.

For Yuan Xipin, who was born in Hexi, she actually prefers men with beards, especially bearded men, so that would be perfect.

Jianlu's artillery technology is too poor. Even if Huang Taiji re-uses craftsmen from Fushun and other places, the artillery that can be manufactured will not exceed one mile at most.

The two watched each other's steps and walked towards the Hall of Martial Arts together.

However, from Yuan Xipin's point of view, the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty still focused on Tang rituals. After getting off the carriage, Yuan Xipin just covered her face with a semi-transparent round fan.

"There are only [-] five-jin cannons, and more than [-] rifles." Wang Chengen replied simply, and Zhu Youjian also ordered after hearing the words:

Compared with the bearded emperors of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Chenghua in the early and middle early Ming Dynasty, the late Ming emperors basically had short beards, or even none.

But it can also be seen that in the aesthetics of everyone, Zhu Youjian is indeed a good-looking and dignified person.

Zhang Yan stood up, while Gu Bingqian sang beside him.

In fact, Zhu Youjian's living commentary in Prince Qi's Mansion is a bit absurd, because Zhu Youjian is only five feet and eight inches (186cm), not six feet, and the description behind it is also a bit exaggerated.

Zhang Yan had a conversation with Yuan Xibin. The former reminded Yuan Xibin as someone who had been there, and Yuan Xibin responded very politely.

"My brother and I, I'm afraid we won't have so many opportunities to play in the future... Sigh..."

You can't post too much, if you post too much, you don't have it, you can't post too little, and you will be scolded if you post too little.

Accompanied by Wang Chengen's singing, the elephant moved, and more than a thousand followers followed suit.

Zhu Youjian closed his eyes and rested his mind to get the answer, and he almost knew what to support Guo Sangdai in his heart.

Standing next to him are the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Sixth Division, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xungui and many other high-ranking civil and military officials.

In that team, you can still see the bell and drum carts pulled by horse-drawn carriages, and the musicians on it are constantly beating the bells and drums.

[The king of Qi is about six feet long, beautiful, calm, magnanimous and receptive, good at using soldiers, fierce and powerful.Although he has a weak crown and beautiful hair, his imposing manner is overwhelming, similar to that of Xiang Ji, who is regarded as a scholar and the people, and he will devote himself to death. 】

Zhang Yan was satisfied with her actions. The reason why she chose Yuan Xibin was because she felt that Yuan Xibin was suitable to be a peacemaker.

"..." For a moment, Yuan Xibing didn't know what to say, so she could only take a sneak peek at Zhu Youjian cautiously.

The red hijab did not appear until the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, this kind of "Hu Feng" was so disgusted that it disappeared for a while, until it suddenly appeared again in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This process never stopped, so even after three or four steps, they only gave out one or two thousand red envelopes, just a few taels of silver.

The existence of a total value of nearly 300 million taels of silver was stored in boxes like this, laid out in rows, and there were thousands of boxes.

They need to circle the inner city this time, although it is not fifty miles, but thirty miles is possible.

Zhu Youjian and Yuan Xipin did not take the seal, but waited for the officiant to read out the marriage speech.

Xishen City is the Khabarovsk of later generations, which is also the Sanchakou where the Aso River flows into Heilongjiang.

After explaining to Yuan Xipin, Zhang Yan motioned for the two to enter the Hall of Martial Arts, and at this moment, the maids and eunuchs on both sides also moved away the tables and chairs.

Originally, he and Zhu Youjian spent less time together, but now that Zhu Youjian is married and has six concubines in one breath, there is even less time for him.

So when Xiang Ren walked out of the Xihua Gate, everyone was on the road under the guard guard camp, holding red envelopes, and handing them to some onlookers.

At that time, Zhu Youjian felt that the national power was empty and he was unable to launch the Northern Expedition. He wanted to let Jianlu live for two years and help reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land by the way.

Zhu Youjian may be young, or the old Zhu family's genetic improvement is too successful, in short, he doesn't have a beard.

Since it is not a real emperor or empress wedding after all, this process exempts the officials and the officiant from the rewards after the empress canonization.

For example, in the third year of Jingtai, Wu Shan, the commander of Wu's Hewei, was transferred by the Ming court to Jinzhouwei, the Liaodong capital of Shandong Province.

He couldn't help frowning, because in the memorial in his hand, he saw some information about the deployment of Jianlu's troops.

Zhu Youjian was distressed in the school, but Zhu Youjian didn't understand what it meant. After bowing to show that he knew, he took Yuan Xibin to the elephant's car driven by Wang Chengen and others.

In Zhu Youjian's view, Huang Taiji may have only one purpose in stationing troops here.

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian dismounted from his horse, and walked up to Cui Ren behind Yang Rushi and the others.

Because the Beishan area was too poor, a large number of Beishan Jurchen leaders dragged their families to the pass, and a large number of Jurchen officials requested to be transferred to Liaodong, Shandong, and Beizhili.

"From February to June, Guo Sangdai only needs to guard for four months."

When Cui Ren stopped, Yang Rushi turned around with the two jade girls and bowed to Zhu Youjian: "His Royal Highness can go to meet the princess..."

He was very sure that Huang Taiji would attack Guo Sangdai.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan, who arrived at some unknown time, were sitting in front of the Hall of Martial Arts, and there were two red futons in front of them.

Compared with the Haixi, Jianzhou, and Donghai tribes in the Inner Northeast, Beishan Jurchen has always been the one with the largest number of people, but it has been the most ruthless one. The reason is food.

"I know it myself, thank you, Empress Zhonggong, for reminding me..."

Sun Chengzong turned sideways and gave way to the Sanlong Bridge. Zhu Youjian glanced at Yuan Xipin, and Yuan Xipin also glanced at Zhu Youjian cautiously.

But the problem is that Guo Sangdai has already made preparations, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under him are basically trained according to the ordinary guard battalion.

Later, after she found that Zhu Youjian was concentrating on the memorial, she began to look at Zhu Youjian blatantly.

"It's already winter, he can't mobilize troops now, if he wants to mobilize troops, it will be February at the earliest."

She originally thought that King Qi was a fat man, or a warrior, but now, she looked more like young heroes like Xin Qiji and Huo Qubing.

Wang An followed Zhang Yan to Zhu Youjian and his wife with a wooden tray. On the wooden tray was the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Crowns. Zhang Yan took off the phoenix crowns for Concubine Yuan Xi with her own hands, and then put the luxurious Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Crowns on her head. superior.

As for Zhu Youjian, he closed the memorial, put it away, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen turned back and continued to explain the matter, and Zhu Youjian also closed the window of the car.

"And the crown..."

Yang Rushi didn't finish his sentence, because the music for welcoming the bride had already sounded, and obviously the team had already entered the Xihua Gate.

What Zhu Youjian needed was for Guo Sangdai to guard Beishan.

However, this kind of thing cannot be done intentionally and obviously, so rewarding money is also a technical task.

The conversation between him and Wang Chengen reached Yuan Xibin's ears, but Yuan Xibin cared more about Zhu Youjian's demeanor when handling government affairs.

Under their watchful eyes, Zhu Youjian and Yuan Xipin walked up the steps step by step, and finally sat down on the futon.

However, contrary to her liking, after generations of genetic selection by the old Zhu family, it seems that the descendants of the Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen have thinned their beards.

In addition, in the first year of Zhengde, Tahazhu, the commander of Green Guard (now the Green River region in the Far East of Russia), was promoted from the commander of the guard to the commander of the guard by the cabinet because of his excellent governance performance.

This situation has not changed. Suddenly, less than two years after the end of the Battle of Liao Dynasty, the Beishan Jurchens were united together, and they were still in a group of 10,000+ people.

After she finally finished dressing, she and Zhu Youjian walked up to Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan and worshiped four times in a row, and then Gu Bingqian began to read the imperial edict.

Yuan Xipin originally thought that Zhu Youjian would talk to her, but to her disappointment, Zhu Youjian actually took out five or six memorials from under Xiang Ren's table, and began to look them up in front of her. up.

Looking at Zhu Youjian's behavior of pointing Jiangshan, she still couldn't help admiring and revering in her heart.

Coupled with the powerful shipping capabilities of the Ming army before and after the Battle of Restoring Liao Dynasty, Huang Taiji may have known in his heart that the Beishan Jurchen was likely to be a force supported by the Ming Dynasty, even Nurhachi, Daishan and others knew it well.

"But just in case, I still have to get him something to defend the city."

If Jianlu can take Nuergancheng, he can indeed harvest 10,000+ acres of arable land, plus hundreds of thousands of shimimai.

The other three departments can be self-sufficient in front of them, while Beishan can only rely on blood transfusions from the Ming Dynasty.

"There should be a while before driving, Your Highness, please take a good rest."

Yuan Xipin opened her mouth to show concern for Zhu Youjian, her voice was pleasant, and she heard the voice of Daming's Jianghuai official speech.

"Hmm..." Zhu Youjian nodded in response, and then leaned on the "sofa" filled with cotton and goose down in the car.

Maybe it was because he was too exhausted from dealing with government affairs last night, but after a short while, his breathing became even, and Yuan Xibing also observed him with confidence and boldness...
