My father Zhu Gaoxu

674 Marriage
The Yuan Dynasty reused the Semu people and suppressed the Han people in the Central Plains. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the status of the Semu people plummeted. Both the official and the people were very contemptuous of them. Even all overseas Hu people were not treated well. .

Chang Wei was the eldest grandson of Chang Yuchun. Although the Chang family fell into decline, it was still one of the top wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty. Especially since Chang Wei had made his own success again and was now named Duke of the country based on his military exploits, which restored the prestige of the Chang family.

According to his status, no matter what, he should marry a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, but Chang Wei never married a wife. The Persian concubine beside him did give birth to a son for him, but this mixed-race son was not well received by others. If it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, he would not be qualified to inherit the title at all. The most he could do would be to give him some property in the future and let him start his own business.

Although the Han Dynasty was founded in Tianzhu, it was also separated from the Ming Dynasty. All aspects of customs were almost the same as those of the Ming Dynasty. Especially since Chang Wei and Chang Sining had an aunt, and they were raised by each other. She was sure He would not accept a son of a Persian orchid to inherit the title of the Chang family.

"Then what does Sining mean?"

After Chang Wei was silent for a moment, he raised his head and asked Zhu Zhanhe.

To be honest, Chang Wei was only thinking about reviving his family, and he didn't care much about women, let alone getting married, so he only kept a few Hu Ji by his side.

"Sining has already arranged a marriage for you. After all, you are now a duke. You must have a duke's wife to help you manage your family business."

Zhu Zhanhe said solemnly that Chang Wei's marriage is not a trivial matter. After all, there are only four princes in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Zhong all married Bai Shao'er early, leaving Chang Wei alone.

"Which family's woman?"

Chang Wei asked immediately. He was the only one left in Chang's family room. It was indeed his responsibility to marry a wife and have children, so he did not resist this matter.

"Wei Guogong Xu Qin has a sister who is eighteen years old. Sining has met her and said that she is tall and beautiful. The most rare thing is that she is well-educated and sensible. She is a good woman. We tested the Xu family's tone before we came here. Xu Qin said Qin personally promised to marry you, as long as you nod, I will ask Sining to send a betrothal gift to the Xu family!"

Zhu Zhanhe said immediately.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, Chang Sining was already worried about Chang Wei's marriage. For this reason, he also met many women for him, and finally selected the sister of Wei Guogong Xu Qin.

At first, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were almost as famous, but the Chang family fell behind because they were on the wrong team. In contrast, the Xu family was a two-state family, with an extremely respected status, and was known as the first noble of the Ming Dynasty. .

In the past, Chang Wei would not have married the Xu family, and even some marquises might have looked down upon him. However, Chang Wei fought for his own success and made a lot of achievements in Tianzhu following Zhu Gaoxu. In addition, Chang Sining also If you marry Zhu Zhanhe, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Chang family will definitely skyrocket.

In addition, the Xu family has not been having a good time in the past few years, especially Xu Yingxu's rebellion, which has dealt a huge blow to the Xu family. Although they are still the two princes on the surface, compared to the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Wei Never been very popular.

So Xu Qin also wanted to bet on both ends. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty cannot be lost, but the Han Dynasty cannot be left behind. Many nobles have thought of this together. There are many children of the noble families in the Han Dynasty, some of whom have joined the army, and some have joined the army. As a civil servant, Zhu Gaoxu did not refuse anyone who came to them.

Xu Qin obviously wanted to lay some foundations in the Han Dynasty through marriage and make it easier for the Xu family to come over in the future, so he also fully supported the marriage between his sister and Chang Wei.

"The Xu family is so bold, aren't they afraid of being blamed by the Ming Emperor?"

Chang Wei asked in surprise after hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said.

In his opinion, the marriage between the Xu family and himself was equivalent to stepping on two different boats. With Zhu Zhanji's temperament, he would definitely put small shoes on the Xu family's back.

"The law does not punish everyone. All the nobles in the Ming Dynasty are doing this. Brother, he can't arrest all the nobles and hold them accountable. What's more, weddings and funerals are human nature. Even if you are the emperor, you can't control it. Too wide!" Zhu Zhanhe chuckled, with pride on his face as he spoke.

At the beginning, he tried his best to bundle the nobles onto this big ship going out to sea for business, just for this day. Now, the nobles and the big man are inextricably linked with interests. If Zhu Zhanji wants to touch this Interest is to be an enemy of everyone.

"Well, since Sining is already optimistic about it, I don't have any objection. Anyway, it doesn't matter who you marry."

When Chang Wei said this, he waved his hand and said that he believed in the vision of his sister and brother-in-law. Since they all said that the young lady from the Xu family was good, he believed that she would be a good wife for him if she married her.

"Okay! I will write to Sining later and ask her to finalize the marriage as soon as possible!"

When Zhu Zhanhe saw Chang Wei agreeing, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

Chang Wei's marriage was settled, and Chang Sining also settled a worry. Otherwise, Chang Wei's failure to get married would be equivalent to the Chang family having no offspring. As for the mixed-race Chang Ye, it was destined to be impossible to inherit the title, unless it was very Wei. After getting married, he had no other sons.

Chang Wei was also very happy and chatted with Zhu Zhanhe while eating. When they talked about some old things from the past, they also laughed heartily.

Finally, when the conversation was almost over, Zhu Zhanhe remembered the reason why he came to see Chang Wei today, so he said, "Where is that Ulugh Bo in prison? I want to see him?"

"No problem, I'll take you there myself!"

Chang Wei immediately stood up and said that he had caught Ulugh Beg with his own hands, so he would naturally keep him in his custody.

So the two of them went out together and rode horses through the streets of Peshawar.

"I heard that Ulugh Beg had a younger brother who led troops with him on the expedition, but he was not caught?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked casually while walking.

"Yes, Ulug Bet was injured by a grenade dropped by a hot air balloon. However, he let his younger brother Besun escape first and stayed to attract our attention. After I caught Ulug Bet, I would It was already too late to find Beisunhu."

When Chang Wei mentioned the matter of letting Besunhu escape, he also looked annoyed. When he saw Ulugh Beg, he should have sent a cavalry to chase Besunhu, so that he might be able to catch him.

"Ulug Beg is the eldest son of Shaharul and the heir to the Sudan whom he carefully cultivated. He has the same status as me, so it is quite difficult for you to catch him. As for Besunhu, he escaped just as he escaped. You can ask him to go back and report to Shaharul."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed again and said again.

While talking, the two came to a courtyard that was heavily guarded. Chang Wei took Zhu Zhanhe through several checkpoints, and then finally came to the courtyard where Ulugh Bo was imprisoned.
