Wanli Xinming

Chapter 142 Myanmar
On December [-]th of the fourth year of Wanli, the Empress Dowagers of the two palaces issued a statement to the Ministry of Rites: "The eldest daughter of Zhuang Yun, the commander of Jinyiwei, has been selected as the queen, and the wedding is scheduled.What etiquette?The Ministry, together with the Hanlin Academy, decided to hear the news.

The Ministry of Rites received an decree to transfer to Qin Tianjian, and then Qin Tianjian announced that he would choose an auspicious date for the wedding, which should be in December.Therefore, it was already December, and the Ministry of Rites suggested that December in the fifth year of Wanli should be the auspicious date for the wedding.

Zhu Yijun was enraged and criticized: "There are many absurdities in the previous system of the Datong Calendar, and I have already approved it! For the former, on the day when the platform summons the right, the prisoner will not care about the state affairs, and choose the time for half a year at will. Today, the date of the big wedding is only suitable for December, what is the reason? Choose the date and report it separately!"

The emperor wanted to incriminate Qin Tianjian in the memorial, but Zhang Hong, the head of the Si Lijian, and Chen Ju, the minister of the inner court, did not dare to neglect.Because the emperor's speech on his wedding date was not in line with etiquette, he was afraid of being laughed at by future generations, and he urgently reported to the Empress Dowager Cisheng.

Empress Dowager Cisheng could not laugh or cry, so she had to give an oral order to the cabinet, saying so and so.The false fire of Zhang Juzheng being hanged by the title of "Cabinet Prime Minister" has risen, and he is also full of opinions on the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian.

Therefore, the next day, the assistant minister Zhang Juzheng and others played: "The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother said that the ancestors are usually married at the age of 16. The current emperor is only [-] years old, and the middle palace is only [-] years old. If you serve in December of the next year, you will have passed the marriage selection If the deadline is to use December this year, it will be too urgent."

After Zhang Juzheng pointed out the nonsense about the wedding date chosen by the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites, he also stated: "The prison said that there are only twelve months in a year, and the rest is a hindrance. It is a folk custom to steal the taboos of time and time. There are still people who are not fully tested. Besides, the emperor is the master of the gods in heaven and earth. With every move, the gods will serve their duties and take care of them. How can you be imprisoned because of yin and yang tricks?
"The ministers think that it is better to hold a grand ceremony in the second or third month of next year when all things happen. The ancient rites of research are that men and women meet in the middle of the spring. When the holy age is sixteen, it is not too late to follow the rules of the pilgrimage to the saints, and it is the most harmonious. I beg the ruling to obey, and I don’t know what the Virgin Mary’s intentions are.”

The memorial of the cabinet arrived on the desk of the Virgin, and the Virgin then set the date of marriage in March next year.Zhu Yijun issued an decree: "I will choose an auspicious salute in March next year in accordance with the mercy of Our Lady."

The episode passed smoothly, and the entire court began to get busy around the emperor's wedding.

In the original time and space, Emperor Wanli and Sister Wang Xi got married, and the bottom of the treasury was lost.However, Zhu Yijun of this time and space said that there is no need to collect all kinds of tributes to the whole country, everything is provided by internal funds.The first step was to set up the emperor's wedding leading group in the attendant's room, and the British public was in charge.

During the draft, Zhang Chun, the eunuch in charge of the seventh grade of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who made great contributions in Yunnan, jumped to become the chief eunuch, and became the assistant of Chen Ju, the minister of walking, responsible for coordinating the purchase of the emperor's wedding.

On the fifteenth day of December in the fourth year of Wanli, the first flower usage began.First transfer the internal funds to the Hanlin Academy to make books and treasures;

On the 600th, [-] taels of red gold were allocated from internal funds to the handicraft factory, which was responsible for making jewelry for the queen and concubines; on the same day, the Liaodong procurement branch presented [-] pieces of oriental pearls for the queen and the other eight concubines. Zhang Chun Also all call handicraft factory.

On the [-]th, the Royal Silk Factory received another order for Ji clothing.Not to mention the number of pieces, there are [-] pieces of silk and satin of various colors alone, and everyone in the Forbidden City will have a share, and they will welcome the auspicious day with a new look.

Here, it is common to spend money on flowing water, and there is a large set of etiquette matters that need the participation of the court.Like the people, the emperor also needs to go through the process of six ceremonies in the steps of the wedding—namely accepting the color, asking the name, accepting the Ji, accepting the levy, reporting the date, and welcoming in person.

On the [-]th, Zhu Yijun issued a decree to the cabinet: with the British minister Zhang Rong as the main envoy, and Zhang Juzheng as the deputy envoy, on December [-]th, the honorary ceremony of accepting a lottery will be performed.

According to Changyi, the guards of honor are displayed outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the female music is placed in the Danbi.There are two built-in tables made of ochre-yellow satin in the main hall, one for the "Festival" given by the emperor, and the other for the edict of "asking names".

When the auspicious time arrived, Zhu Yijun ascended his seat in auspicious clothes.The ministers bowed down to the ground and shouted long live.Following the edict, the declarant appointed two angels, the principal and the deputy. After some etiquette, the two, accompanied by drum music, went to the banker Na Cai, who had moved to the new residence in the capital, to ask about their names.

Zhuang Yunchang took his daughter's youth to gamble on tomorrow, and he really gambled with a calculated plan.Because he accompanied his daughter all the way, he also expected his daughter to enter the ranks of the nine concubines, so he had already sent a letter back and asked Ben to move the money to the capital—when Xi Xiner arrived, he started to buy a house and land.

Sure enough, at the end of November, a good news came.Zhuang Yunchang, an old man who failed for a long time, jumped into the commander of Jinyiwei first, and has the rank of third-rank military attache.After the big wedding, the earl will follow. If the queen gives birth to a prince, then the banker will be rich and noble for three or four lifetimes.

When the guard of honor and the drum band arrived at the door of the envoy's house, Zhuang Yunchang knelt down to pick up the angel at the door, accepted the gifts, and thanked him.After another set of prescribed question-and-answer ceremony, Zhuang Yunchang submitted a "table" with his daughter's name, birth date, etc. to the British public, and finally entertained the angels with a feast.

Duke Ying and Zhang Juzheng had a full meal, but they still held Zhuang Jingjia's birthday horoscope and sent them back to the Forbidden City.This acceptance of color, asking the name came to an end.

Firecrackers were blaring, and the lively noise of gongs and drums gradually dissipated, and the idlers who were watching the excitement in front of the Zhuang Mansion also walked away while discussing.

At this time, in Nanyuan Martial Arts, in the military aircraft office transformed from the former palace, a group of generals and officials were surrounding the emperor, arguing fiercely.

Zhu Yijun went directly to Nanyuan after the ceremony in the palace.If there is a place outside the Forbidden City where Zhu Yijun goes the most, it can only be martial arts.

In the military aircraft office, Qi Jiguang, the executive deputy chief of Jingyuanbo, Tan Lun, minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Yingjie, who was the director of the logistics department, Yin Zhengmao, the director of the command department, Ma Gui, Liu Xian, and other professors of Ma Buke gathered together. Discuss the military strategy to conquer Burma.

As the saying goes, the wind wants to be quiet and the wind is not enough. Zhu Yijun's manipulation of the development of the Northeast and the governance of Huanghuai is based on his limited historical knowledge and believes that there was no major war in the early Wanli period.Unexpectedly, the draft picks sent out by Wanli in the fourth year of Wanli really dug up some fierce information.

This time, the internal officials in charge of the national draft had their eyes fixed on the silver, while others were just fooling around.

Some of them did regular investigations, but they didn't find any inside information that Jin Yiwei didn't know, and they didn't make any mistakes.

But there are also some people who don't miss any opportunity to improve their performance-Zhang Chun, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor who was sent to Yunnan, brought back only ten beautiful girls, but he dug up the big material that Jin Yiwei did not dug up. .

In the fourth year of Wanli, Burmese Toungoo Dynasty Mangrui and Southwest Yisi sent a joint army to invade the border, and attacked the shackles in a large scale.Mengyang Tusi Siji always asked Wang Ning, governor of Yunnan, for help.

When Zhang Chun arrived in Yunnan, Si Yiyi was in Mengyang Jianbi to clear the wilderness. The Burmese army could not enter, and the food route was cut off by Ulula, the leader sent by Si Yiyi, and fell into a dead place.

But Si Jiyi had no troops to counterattack, so the messenger urged the governor of Yunnan urgently.Jinteng's deputy envoy Luo Rufang has spent a lot of money recruiting businessmen to and from the Ming-Myanmar border, and has discovered the reality of the Mang-Swiss Allied Forces.

As a result, they have already started to kill elephants, kill horses, peel the bark and eat grass roots. "The epidemic is in the army, and the dead gather in the mountains." Luo Rufang was overjoyed.

However, Zhu Yijun, who got the news later, was embarrassed, and Luo Rufang cursed and vomited blood.The governor of Yunnan, Wang Ning, did not know the border situation at all, and he actually used "to guard against the happy event of the border general, so everything is treated with calmness" as the standard for governing Yunnan, and told Luo Rufang that he was not allowed to send troops for reinforcements.

Luo Rufang was so angry that she couldn't eat the great merit that was at her fingertips.Zhang Chun said in his report that he "received his resentment, threw it to the ground, and stopped yelling."

What made Zhu Yijun angry was that because the Emperor Tiangao was too far away, Jinyiwei, who was stationed in Yunnan, actually served a vegetarian meal. Thousands of local households were engaged in tea and horse business, and they forgot about the official business. Such military information was not reported.

Luo Rufang has no right to play directly, so she has nowhere to complain.Coincidentally, I learned that the emperor sent a middle official to Yunnan for the draft. When he gritted his teeth, he actually approached the goalkeeper Wang Ning and complained about the missed opportunity.

Zhang Chunping made a great contribution in vain and was overjoyed.But after being by Zhu Yijun's side for a long time, he didn't dare to believe it.Send close people to the border to inquire - finally the interview is the same as Luo Rufang.

Zhu Yijun was furious when he reported back to Beijing.
