I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 236 The Emperor’s Wedding (please subscribe)

The whole thing was planned by Fan Wencheng and secretly carried out by Huang Taiji.

He first bribed Nurhaci's side friends Jin Deyinze and Ajigen, who revealed to Nurhaci the affair between Gundai and Daishan, which created a gap between Daishan and Mang Gurtai.

Then he used the fact that Daishan's son Shuotuo could not bear the abuse of Daishan and escaped to make a big fuss secretly, and finally Nurhachi deposed Daishan's crown prince.

Since then, Deshan has become a lot more honest and well-behaved.

Unexpectedly, after the Battle of Hunhe, Daishan became stronger by virtue of his own power and began to have an affair with Gundai, allowing Huang Taiji to seize the opportunity and completely bring down the two of them.

"It was Baylor's secret strategizing. Now the big deal has been decided. It's just a pity that Khan did not depose Er Baylor as the leader of the red flag, so that he still has a glimmer of hope."

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard this. He also couldn't figure out why his father Khan didn't punish Dai Shan severely, but instead punished Mang Gurtai severely. So he expressed his doubts and wanted Fan Wencheng to give him some advice.

Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and seemed to have the answer in his mind.

"In my opinion, Khan dealt with it this way because he was afraid of Erbeile's rebound. He was deposed from the position of prince before, and he was already dissatisfied. During the Hunhe Battle, he refused to contribute to save his own strength and let Zhenglan Banner has suffered heavy losses, so even if the Khan is dissatisfied, he will not touch him easily, otherwise it will be too late if the Erbeile soldiers make a dangerous move and cause trouble."

"Father Khan didn't dare to touch Daishan, so he only dared to touch Mang Gurtai? Why wasn't he afraid that Mang Gurtai would cause chaos?"

Fan Wencheng smiled knowingly when he heard this, thinking that this was the brilliance of Khan.

"Of course the Khan is not afraid. Mang Gurtai killed his mother today and killed his king tomorrow. He must be punished for making such a big mistake. If it had been last year, it might have been ignored, but now the Zhenglan Banner passes through the Hun River Their strength was greatly damaged in the battle, and even if Mang Gurtai is captured, these people will not be able to make any big waves, so they will deal with it like this."

Only then did Huang Taiji understand the truth. Fan Wencheng taught him a good lesson. Strength is indeed the foundation of his toughness.

Thinking of this, he paid more and more attention to Fan Wencheng.

This Han man was selected as a scholar at a young age. Three years ago when the Eight Banners captured Fushun, Fan Wencheng and his brother Fan Wencai took the initiative to see their father, Khan, and begged to submit to Dai Jin. In the end, they became their captors.

I didn't care much about him at first, but I didn't expect that he was quick-thinking and intelligent. He gave me many suggestions, which really helped me a lot.

"The force of Daishan is not as strong as expected. Yue Tuo's red flag and my Zhengbai Banner force have not lost much either. I think Father Khan will deal with Daishan next."

"Haha, it's true. Khan appointed Yue Tuo as the coach of the Eastern Expedition to Mongolia, obviously to improve his status. Although Yue Tuo is the son of Er Beile, he is not close to him at all. Instead, he is familiar with you, Beile. It will definitely be a big help when the time comes.

It's just that Daishan has been the crown prince for many years. Although he has an impatient personality, he is also quite dignified. He will definitely not be willing to do this. He will definitely deal with you in the future, so it is better to prepare in advance. "

Huang Taiji put one hand on the table and tapped his fingers on the table with disdain on his face.

"Haha~ What can he do to fight with me now? He has lost all his prestige and is nothing more than a turtle in a jar."

"Thank you, Sir, for your support. I will go back and explain the situation to the master."

Outside Sarhu City, Zhang Anning was saying goodbye to Jia La E Zhen Ao Bei with a red flag.

Although Ao Bei didn't think highly of this Han man, he was from Yue Tuo Mansion after all. He would try to trick him into giving him some face no matter what, so he handed him over and galloped away.

Zhang Anning also entered the city with his grain carriage. The streets on the road were much more depressed and deserted than before, and Han people were becoming increasingly rare.

Zhang Anning was not surprised by this. Han bannermen in each banner were forced to collect grain. Naturally, the same was true for other Han people, and their lives were not much better.

When they arrived at Yue Tuo's residence, they saw that there were many more people in the residence than before, and most of them were generals with red flags. He had been in the countryside during this period and didn't know much about the news in the city. Could something have happened?

Entering the main hall, they saw that Yue Tuo had just finished discussing matters. Zhang Anning also saw the opportunity and hurriedly went in to pay his respects.

"Slave Zhang Anning pays homage to his master."

Yue Tuan was also surprised to see Zhang Anning back. It had only been half a month. Could it be that Zhang Anning had already settled the matter.

"Why are you back? How's the food collection going?"

"Master, it's all done. A total of twenty-three thousand three shi of grain has been collected."

Yue Tuo immediately showed dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

"Why are there so few? Have the grains of those Han people who did not join the banner been collected?"

Zhang Anning noticed that Yue Tuo was a little angry and immediately explained. "Master, please calm down. There was a disaster last year. These Han people didn't have much food rations, and they were still unwilling to pay. I and Ao Bei Zuo led the Han officials to find these food from house to house. The numbers are correct."

Although Yue Tuo was dissatisfied with this quantity, he could only accept it after hearing this.

"This food is not enough to eat at all, but that's all. Forget it, you will transport the food to the south barracks of the city later and deliver it to Zuoling Yibadan without any mistakes."

"As ordered."

Zhang Anning came out of the main hall and felt very strange. Logically speaking, these grains were not to be delivered to He Heli. He had been in charge of warehousing and giving instructions, so why should they be given to Yibadan.

This Yibadan is Yue Tuan's confidant and favorite general. Is it going to be a war if it is shipped to him now?

The more Zhang Anning thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was very possible, so he asked a servant in the mansion who had a good relationship with him to inquire about recent news in the mansion, and it was true.

It turned out that Yue Tuo was ordered by Nurhachi to attack Inner Khalkha with a red flag. This was Yue Tuo's first time as a commander, so he was very concerned about it, so he often brought people to the mansion to discuss matters, lest there be any delays.

Zhang Anning was secretly frightened, thinking that he must find a way to bring this big news to Zhang Shun quickly, and let him take the opportunity of going to Liaodong to tell the court so that the court could take precautions.

Nurhachi never expected that the news that he was going to attack Nekalkha would soon be known to Xiong Tingbi. In the past, he had placed spies in the Ming army, but this time, the Jinyi guards assigned by Zhu Youxiao took the lead. General an army.

It takes time to send troops and transmit news, but in Beijing, which is thousands of miles away from Saerhu City, no one cares about the movements of Jianlu at present, not even the Enke Conference. After more than 40 years, there is another emperor. The wedding ceremony is about to be held.

Zhu Yuanzhang once established a rule that when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne and was not yet married, he needed to hold a "big wedding" and appoint a queen and concubines.

After sufficient preparations, the Ministry of Rites finally selected March [-]th as an auspicious day, suitable for the emperor's wedding.

Therefore, preparations for various wedding matters are now in full swing with NO.15 as the deadline.

Therefore, during this period, Zhu Youxiao left all government affairs to the cabinet, and he had to deal with these cumbersome etiquette all day long.

On March [-], Zhu Youxiao dressed up and made a grand appearance in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. Witnessed by the six ministers of the cabinet, the Imperial Academy Propaganda Officer held the edict in his hand, stood on the red wall on the east side, and announced the edict loudly.

Announced the appointment of the chief and deputy angels, and then to the sound of music, the two held the golden festival on behalf of the emperor, and then led the guard of honor to Zhang Yan's home to ask for their names. Although Zhang Yan's home was in Henan, he had been picked up long ago. When he arrived in the capital, he arranged to stay in a mansion.

At this time, the Zhang Mansion was already well prepared. After the angel arrived at Zhang Yan's house, he parked the dragon pavilion containing the Nacai gift outside the door. Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Guoji, knelt on his knees outside the door to welcome the emperor. The chief and deputy envoys came.

Then officials from the palace and the Ministry of Etiquette took out the gifts and edicts and placed them on the table in the hall.After the Zhang family accepted the gift from the imperial edict, they quickly submitted a "form" containing Zhang Yan's name, resume, birth date, etc. to the angel.

After the ceremony, the chief and deputy envoys returned to the palace to resume their duties.

In the evening, the Zhang Mansion lit up lights and held a grand reception banquet. The food and wine at the banquet were all gifts from the emperor. There was an endless stream of relatives and officials coming and going to congratulate. From then on, the Zhang family was like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. He became the most prosperous royal relative of the Ming Dynasty.

After waiting for the angel to lead the team back to the Forbidden City, he handed the golden festival representing the emperor and the watch with Zhang Yan's birth date to Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremony, and the task was considered to be successfully completed.

Then the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor will send someone to test the birth dates of Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan. Of course, the results will definitely match, and they are considered engaged.

The next step is to perform Naji and Nazheng gifts, which is equivalent to the folk engagement ceremony and bride price.

Zhu Youxiao could be stingy about anything, but he could never be stingy about this matter, so he prepared a generous betrothal gift according to etiquette.

Including 1000 taels of gold, 5 taels of silver, a thousand pieces of silk and satin, twenty horses, two gold tea cans, two silver tea cans, two silver basins, etc.A total of 74 dragon pavilions were used to load the betrothal gifts, while the gifts for Zhang Yan’s family were loaded in 58 cai pavilions.

With generous betrothal gifts, a grand ceremony is also indispensable.

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao will hold a ceremony in front of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, and then send angels to hold the festival, carrying betrothal gifts and edicts to Zhang Yan's house.

The dowry delivery team was huge and stretched for several miles. The noble ministers led many guards to lead the defense along the way. The front team had already reached Donghua Gate, and the porters at the end had just left Qianqingmen Square. It was very... The spectacle allowed the people of the capital to see what royal style meant.

After arriving, the envoy read out the edict, and then began to deliver betrothal gifts and gifts. At the same time, rewards were also given to Zhang Yan and her whole family, even the servants and servants, everyone had a share, saying that the whole family was happy.

Now after Najib and Nazheng, the marriage has been finalized.

Next, Zhu Youxiao will appear in person to begin the most important part of the wedding.
