Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 437

"Take it and take it..."

"King Qi is a thousand years old!"

"His Royal Highness Qi Wang and Qi Wangfei have been together for a hundred years!"

"Take it all..."

King Qi's big wedding, which shocked more than 130 million people inside and outside the capital, gradually turned into a grand event.

Tens of thousands of people poured into the inner city and the east city. Yang Rushi sat in the car of the golden boy and jade girl, listening to the people's joy for His Highness's congratulations. He took the red envelopes with the wedding money on his back and piled them up one by one. Rissa.

"Grandma...can you sprinkle less..."

The eunuchs, officials and palace maids in the rear looked at Yang Ru's "profligate" appearance, and their hearts were bleeding...

Fortunately, Yang Rushi was alone, even if she gave out more than a dozen red envelopes with one breath, it took more than two hours to give out hundreds of taels of copper coins.

After getting out of the car, before Zhu Youjian found Yang Rushi and asked about the following process, he heard a voice calling himself.

Thinking of some of Chongzhen's operations, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh, so he naturally had some snacks for this cheap uncle:

After destroying Jianlu, these [-] cavalry were released, and together with the cavalry of the Northern Army, they were divided into four partial divisions, each with [-] troops, which was enough to drive the clown Lin Danhan to Moxi.

"Then let's go." Zhu Youjian nodded in response, but in the end he walked out of the Chengyun Hall with a wine glass in his hand, made a toast to thousands of officials on the square of the Chengyun Hall, and then went to the inner court with the support of Yang Yuanai and others.

At the first meeting, Zhu Youjian still felt that this person had a strange face, and he didn't know which noble relative of the Xun Mansion it was.

"I'll consider your opinion." After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian continued to exchange cups with them.

This bed was also the marriage bed that Zhu Youxiao beat for Zhu Youjian himself. It was big enough for seven or eight people to lie on. I don't know why he knocked it so big.

Of course, guests can see their looks from the side, and everyone is talking after seeing them.

This process lasted for a long time, and Zhu Youjian also slept deeply and quietly. If Yuan Xibing didn't shake him awake, he might have been able to sleep forever.

"Play the rites and music, please concubine's parents and mother..."

"But the problem is that only the valleys in Duogan and Uszang are suitable for human habitation, and the valleys can only grow highland barley, which is not tasty because of its low yield."

He first made a toast to many honorable officials in the hall, then went around and toasted a cup to the officials outside the hall, and finally returned to the Chengyun Hall, and sat at the table of the boss .

It is different from Chen Xiangjun's parents who were born in officials, Wei Pingyang's parents who were born in noble families, and even more different from Li Shaoxi's wealthy North Korean family.

Zhu Youjian was somewhat drunk, and sniffed up Yuan Xipin's hand, and when he reached the jade neck, Yuan Xipin closed his eyes.

Just as Zhu Youjian was thinking about how long the British government could last, an official in his forties, wearing a red third-grade scarlet gown, with three children behind him, bowed to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Highness, Zhou Kui, a grassroots man, is the father of Concubine Ping Zhou Sujie..."

Zhu Youjian looked at Yuan Xipin talking happily with his father Yuan You and mother Yuan Zhangshi, and was a little envious for a while, but at this time Yang Rushi trotted over and reminded him by his side.

Although it can cause tens of thousands of taels of silver loss to Daming every year, Zhu Youjian has no intention to deal with him right now.

It was only after he took a look that he recognized this person from his eyebrows...

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Zhu Youjian grabbed it, and then supported herself to sit up.

He made two preparations in his mind. One was to garrison troops after the defeat of Uz-Tibet, and it was a long-term garrison, and the scale of the garrisons was much larger. , Three thousand troops were stationed in the early stage, and they were withdrawn to Qamdo not long after.

"Even so, I am afraid that nearly 40 taels of silver will need to be invested in military and food salaries every year."

So Zhu Youjian and Liu Xiaozu sighed a few times, and then stepped forward to salute the others one by one.

After dying of illness, Chongzhen posthumously gave him the title of Xinlehou. Among the three children he taught, among Chongzhen's three cousins, Liu Wenbing and Liu Wenyao led their family of 42 to commit suicide. Only Liu Wenzhao, the youngest cousin, took Chongzhen's grandmother with him. Fleeing to the south of the Yangtze River, he died in incognito.

Zhu Youjian would not start such a thing as conferring meritorious service, but such things as conferring meritorious service are very common.

As soon as they came to this table, the good-looking Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu toasted one after another, for fear that Zhu Youjian would not remember them.

"Yes……"

"Here we are..."

Cao Wenzhao was specially recalled by Zhu Youjian, and the purpose was also to prepare for sending troops to Uszang to recover this "Asian Water Tower".

Zhu Youjian asked, he was more curious about this situation, and Yang Yuanai looked at him and nodded: "Well..."

Although there are hundreds of households, in fact, they do not have an advantage in the embezzling army's farming. They can only be said to be barely rich peasants.

There are 12 people at a table, six men and six women, representing Zhu Youjian's six pairs of father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Zhu Youjian's inquiry made Liu Xiaozu feel flattered. After all, in the past ten years, except for Zhu Youjian's meritorious service in the war, he did not get much care from this nephew at other times.

Perhaps only this kind of person who is not particularly self-interested can cultivate heirs who die for the country.

If there are more than a dozen people like her, I am afraid that today's court ladies and eunuchs will be in vain...

Once Xu Xigao died, Dingguo's mansion would also be reduced to Zhonglihou's mansion.

It took Zhu Youjian half a cup of tea to walk the [-]-step palace road, but there was still no detailed chat. Without drinking, it was enough to see how many officials were here.

Since a big wedding had already been held in the family temple, everything was kept simple back in the mansion, mainly to give the fifth concubine a chance to make an appearance.

"Uncle, please be safe..." Zhu Youjian bowed in return, and Yuan Xipin, who was next to him, heard that he was His Royal Highness's uncle, and followed suit respectfully.

When Zhu Youjian entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yuan Xipin had already changed and was sitting on the west side of the couch, while Zhu Youjian was supported to sit on the east side.

In the past, all the officials congratulated one after another, and Zhu Youjian nodded one by one in return.

Gu Bingqian, Bi Ziyan, Yuan Keli, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Zhu Xieyuan from the Six Departments of the Cabinet, Zhang Weixian, the honorable British Duke, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, and other nobles.

"Talk while eating." Seeing that everyone dared not move their chopsticks, Zhu Youjian moved them first.

When Jianlu is destroyed, Zhu Youjian doesn't need to go out in person, just send a few partial divisions to defeat him and regain Mobei.

"I wish King Qi and Princess Qi a happy marriage for a hundred years—"

Dingguo Gong Xu Xigao, who made Zhu You difficult to punish and withdraw the guard, is now said to be dying on the couch, and his life expectancy is only in the morning and evening.

Compared to them, the other four couples seemed very well-behaved, not particularly eager, nor indifferent.

In his opinion, Lin Danhan is just a clown.

These two are currently serving as generals of the Northern Army, and the defense area is the Wuyuan and Jiuyuan areas of Hetao.

"Then go." After that, Zhu Youjian was helped to the Changchun Palace, and when he arrived at the Changchun Palace decorated with lanterns and festoons, Yang Yuanai took someone to help Zhu Youjian change his clothes, and helped him Entered the side hall.

"Your Highness..."

The oldest of the three, Liu Wenbing, was only twelve or thirteen years old, Liu Wenyao was only about ten years old, and the youngest Liu Wenzhao was only four or five years old, and was held by Liu Wenyao next to him.

"It's good to be tall, but it's not suitable for His Highness if you're short, and the son you give birth to is probably not brave enough to lead the five armies."

The two repeated it three times, and the ceremony just ended, during which Zhu Youjian was in a daze.

"bye--"

If it hadn't been for Zhu Youjian's abolition of guards to transform into a guard camp system, then Yuan You might really have sent his daughter to Zhu Youjian's hidden residence to be a concubine just like in history.

Yuan Xipin's father, Yuan You, was only a hundred households in the Shaanxi Guard before Zhu Youjian changed the military system.

After the three of them drank, Zhu Youjian also raised his glass with a smile, and then said with a smile:

The sound of festive music rang in my ears, and when the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion was pushed open, the once empty square of Chengyun Hall was already full of guests and voices.

"Ok?"

Finally, the etiquette was over, and he was manipulated by the female officials to take off his clothes and put on the Babu bed in his middle clothes.

Zhu Youjian took a sideways glance. The five concubines were wearing gold crowns and Xiapei, which were lower than Yuan Xipin's, and they all faced their faces with round fans.

Zhu Youjian explained that Liu Xiaozu also agreed, but since Liu Xiaozu didn't come to Qi Palace for so many years, it is not difficult to see that he actually doesn't like to build relationships.

Yuan Xibin nodded slightly in response, and Zhu Youjian also got up and stretched out his hand to her: "Then get out of the car."

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were less than [-] mu of arable land in their hands.

Zhu Youjian felt that this move was nothing, but in this era, it was already considered a "show of affection" that violated the etiquette system.

"800 taels..."

Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, Cao Wenzhao wiped his mouth, and looked over curiously.

"Shouldn't it be? It feels like it's only five feet two."

Almost all the officials in Beijing with a seventh rank and above in Yanshan, and officials with a fifth rank and above in the court, came here, and nobles and relatives also came one after another.

"You can't make it..." Seeing Zhu Youjian saluting, Liu Xiaozu frantically wanted to help him, but he was afraid of losing his courtesy.

"The last general came back in a hurry, just in time to drink His Highness's wedding wine!"

Compared to them, Zhu Youjian, as the master, didn't say anything, but waited to salute.

The bustle outside the elephant had nothing to do with Yuan Xibing in the car at the moment. She had been watching Zhu Youjian's sleepy appearance, and after Zhu Youjian fell asleep, she began to let go of her courage to look at him.

Zhu Youjian remembered that he had read some miscellaneous notes. It was recorded that Liu Wenzhao wanted to flee south with Chongzhen's heirs, but Chongzhen felt that Liu Wenzhao was too young to be entrusted, so he entrusted his heirs to two eunuchs. Let them turn to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu.

"Your Highness!"

However, his harassing targets were also some stone fortresses outside the Ming army, robbing and harvesting some acres of food outside the stone fortresses.

Cao Wenzhao rejected Zhu Youjian's idea as soon as he opened his mouth, and explained:

"King Qi is a thousand years old..."

Seeing this, other people moved their chopsticks one after another, and Zhu Youjian continued:
"Soldiers and horses of Dogan Battalion, I want to expand to [-] battalions, do you think it is necessary?"

Fortunately, the reorganization of the guards was successful, and Yuan You was capable enough to become a garrison. Otherwise, Yuan Xipin might lose the position of concubine.

"There are some things I want to tell you, but I have to talk about Dogan first."

Zhu Youjian didn't take it seriously, he was quite satisfied with this uncle in his heart.

Zhu Youjian raised Yuan Xipin's hand and used her as an excuse, while Cao Wenzhao and other warriors grinned and nodded when they saw this.

Although Lin Danhan was defeated by Zhu Youjian and returned to Yuerhai, it has been six years since Tianqi.

"We're getting married today, so I won't be with you for the time being. Let Hua Chun and Cheng En accompany you. I'll go drink with you after the wedding is over."

"Uncle can bring his cousins ​​to visit the palace from time to time. One of my children in the mansion is also studying at the official school in Mingshifang."

Sensing the stop of the carriage and the shaking of the people around him, Zhu Youjian frowned and opened his eyes, looking around.

Around the eighth year of Apocalypse, all the tribes in Mobei named him the Great Khan, and now he can mobilize more than 7 rangers, so he often harasses Taining, Duoyan, Kaiping, Shuofang, Ningxia and other prefectures.

"Please Your Highness..." Yuan Xipin covered her face with a round fan, and put one hand on Zhu Youjian's.

Senior officials above the third rank and above were all here, and many princes also attended the banquet.

Not surprisingly, they will not be able to return to the Duke.

He turned around and laughed in the next second: "You're back?"

"Therefore, the general had discussed with Sun Jinglue before that if he wanted to take Uszang, he would have to garrison one battalion in Lhasa and one battalion in Bolu at most."

So after listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, and then patted him on the shoulder:

"Your Highness..."

After finally climbing the steps and entering the Chengyun Hall, he didn't expect that there were still wedding banquets on the left and right sides of the hall.

At present, the Ming army has nearly 12 cavalry, and nearly [-] are restrained by Jianlu.

Zhu Youjian didn't pay attention to the power of Wu Sizang. What he wanted was to wipe out many chieftains and nobles above him with lightning speed, and then let Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao lead the troops to go south from the plateau. The Ming army in the direction of three declarations and six consolations attacked the Mughals.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time has come, you can invite the other five concubines to come out."

"Auspicious time-"

"Let's go." Zhu Youjian helped Yuan Xipin out of the elephant.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Youjian was also a little drunk, but fortunately Yang Yuanai came up in time to dissuade him:

"The source of troops is not a problem. Although more than [-] Mongolians, Fans, and Hans in Duogan have all migrated to Hexi, their foundation is still there, and it will not be a problem to recruit another [-] battalions."

"I'm currently studying in the official school of Mingshifang, and my grades are not very good, so I can't get into the elegant hall."

After doing this three times, the ceremony was completed, and the fifth concubine went to the inner court under the leadership of the concubine Yuan Xipin.

Zhu Youjian didn't think about taking revenge on those who had blocked him, because that would put everyone in the honor at risk.

As soon as Zhu Youjian sat down, the two reckless men, Cao Wenzhao and Sun Shoufa, toasted and drank it all. Cao Bianjiao, who didn't like drinking, saw that his uncle had drunk it, so he had no choice but to follow him for a drink.

The scene of the two holding hands and getting out of the car inevitably made the followers a little surprised, but soon they changed from surprise to eating melons, and they figured out whether the two of them did something in the car to enhance their relationship.

After winning the title of earl, he did not act domineeringly like other relatives, but educated his children honestly and dutifully.

"My grandson Shoufa did it too!"

Judging from the ending, if Chongzhen entrusted the child to this youngest cousin, I am afraid Nanming would not be in such a mess.

"How many gifts did you give?"

"Well, let's arrange it." He nodded in response, and Yang Rushi hurriedly informed Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, Yang Yuanai and others when he saw this.

"The six concubines are all quite tall, and the princesses are probably five feet three inches (170cm)..."

This also means that from today onwards, the inner court will no longer be able to walk with men other than Zhu Youjian.

After sweeping her interest, it is estimated that his monthly money will not be able to keep.

"You kid is really picky..."

The three of them stood aside very politely, and when they saw Zhu Youjian looking over, they all bowed in return.

He opened his eyes with anxiety, but he didn't want to meet Zhu Youjian's eyes, and his vermilion lips were only an inch apart.

Even if he was placed in Taining Mansion, he would be able to share some merit and then give him a title.

Of the five great dukes in the late Ming Dynasty, if nothing else happened, four of them would perish in Zhu Youjian's hands, and the only one who survived might be the lineage of the British duke.

She stood at the entrance of the side hall with six court ladies, while Yuan Xipin was wearing a tunic inside and wanted to help Zhu Youjian cover the bedding.

During the reign of Tianqi, he was blessed by Tianqi's love for Chongzhen, and got a fifth-rank Lord Wu. After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he won the title of Xinlebo.

It's just that the status is here, and it's only for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to curry favor with him, so it's naturally impossible for him to curry favor with the other party.

This glass of wine is the exchange of wine, and this glass of wine must be drunk first, and then eat the dishes on the table.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Shize, because they studied in the Military Academy longer than others, a full three years, have made a lot of contributions in defending Hetao, and they are also remarkable in leading troops.

Li Dingguo complained in his heart, and then continued to clear the way.

"I...I did it too..."

The two of them were arranged to sit down, and then the second nobleman and the third concubine Ping appeared from the back of the hall.

Compared with Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, Liu Xiaozu's lineage, which was neglected, can be regarded as a model of foreign relatives in the late Ming Dynasty.

When the familiar voice sounded, Cao Wenzhao, whose skin was as dark as an old farmer in the field, followed behind him, Cao Bianjiao, who had just returned from Yingzhou some time ago, and the generals who were in the guard camp around Beijing.

"Your Highness, the general thought it was unnecessary!"

"Sigh... marrying so many concubines, His Highness doesn't bother you..."

In short, after going to bed, six or seven bed warming ladies got out of bed, and then Yang Yuanai had the candles blown out, and closed the doors and windows.

However, when he reached the first table on the left in the first row, Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed.

He Zhu Youjian can do it, and others can do it, just to see if others can do his feat.

"Your Highness! My old Cao did it!"

He put Yuan Xipin's hand in front of him and sniffed it: "Your smell is very fragrant, not a spice from the palace..."

Li Dingguo and Yang Rushi acted as golden boys and jade girls to clear the way, Li Dingguo was not very happy about this.

He doesn't like to drink, but on a big day, there's nothing wrong with drinking a little.

"Even though it's a false sleep, His Highness still has some arrogance..."

According to the etiquette system, Zhu Youjian took Yuan Xipin to salute in front, and the fifth concubine saluted to her parents.

From the three tables in the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, to the three tables in the Cabinet, the Sixth Department, and the Sixth Division, to the one for his parents-in-law, and finally Zhu Youjian went to the table for Xungui.

"It's the spices from the Western Regions brought by Mr. Cao..." Yuan Xibing was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't dodge.

Therefore, Duke Dingguo's mansion only sent the second son to congratulate him, and the eldest son stayed in the mansion.
Once Xu Xigao died, Duke Dingguo's mansion would also be reduced to Marquis. His two sons are currently only the generals and guards of the Eastern Army and the Southern Army's Governor's Mansion, and they cannot hold on to this title.

Not surprisingly, the British government can rely on the abilities of their father and son to support another three generations.

Zhu Youjian and Yuan Xipin returned a salute, then stepped onto the palace road and walked towards the Chengyun Hall at the end of the road.

Zhu Youjian didn't force it, but planned to take Liu Xiaozu with him next year when Jianlu was exterminated.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace. After returning to the palace, we have to have a wedding (drink a cup of wine)."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Shize next to him.

"Your Highness, Caomin Tian Hongyu is the father of Concubine Ping Tian Xiuying..."

From the north of the Ganges to Lahore, the hundreds of millions of acres of arable land are enough to develop mechanical agriculture on a large scale. It is not a problem to support hundreds of millions of people, and it is not a problem to station dozens of battalions.

As Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun stepped forward and shouted, all the guests shut their mouths, and Zhu Youjian also led the reluctant Yuan Xipin from her parents to the front of the wedding hall.

"Is the bridal chamber going directly to Changchun Palace?"

Zhu Youjian thought about it. According to history, Liu Wenbing and Liu Wenyao should have died around 25, and Liu Wenzhao should have fled south with Chongzhen's grandmother when he was eighteen or nineteen.

Rather than investing limited industrial resources in Wusizang and Duogan, Zhu Youjian would rather move the people above to plain areas and build plains.

Zhu Youjian has never been to U-Tsang in his previous life or in this life, but he also knows how bad the conditions in U-Tsang are.

He didn't enjoy any blessings in history. After all, his sisters were neglected in the East Palace, let alone him?

"Your Highness..."

What he wanted was to be permanently stationed in Lhasa and the big and small Bolu areas, so that the army could go south to recover the north of the Ganges, and go north to recover the four towns of Anxi.

It was after they left that Zhu Youjian, who had already matured, took off his disguise and resumed his status as the King of Qi.

"It's insulting to the gentleman..." It is normal for guests to discuss the law, but the rough talk of Cao Wenzhao and Sun Shoufa will naturally make the cabinet, six ministries, six departments, and nobles feel vulgar.

The cost of stationing troops on the plateau has not been resolved even in later generations, let alone this era.

The gate of Prince Qi's Mansion opened, and all the officials who had been watching all the time sang and got up to salute.

"arrive?"

When Zhu Youjian sniffed the jade neck and Yuan Xipin realized that he hadn't done anything, he couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

Cao Huachun continued to shout, and Yuan You and Yuan Zhang were also invited to be the hosts of the Xitang.

"The entrustment is not human..."

For this kind of incompetent Xunfu, Zhu Youjian can completely rely on his age to survive them all until they are demoted and expelled.

The two sat side by side, and Yang Yuanai also held up a table (a plate full of dishes) to present, and used four golden cups (wine vessels) to drink wine for the two.

"Where are the three cousins ​​studying now?"

Among them, the parents of the concubine Yuan Xipin were the most cautious, and made Zhu Youjian feel a little kind.

Because after he returned home on vacation, he found that his residence had been moved to the Chunhe Palace in the outer court of the palace. Although he lived in a larger place than before, it was far away from Zhu Youjian.

Because the ones sitting at this table are his unlovable father-in-law...

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look at his three cousins.

"Has the time come yet?" Jiu fainted, and Zhu Youjian looked outside the hall, only to realize that it was dusk before he knew it.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't dare to show it, because Yang Rushi was standing beside him.

As for Xu Yunzhen, who followed up with the title, although he served as a general in the Eastern Army Governor's Mansion and had some talents, but Zhu Youjian had read the military newspaper of his leader, and he could only say that he was quite satisfactory.

Without waiting for her to be shy, Zhu Youjian pulled her down on the bed...

　All the way to the fragrant warm drunk winter, the plum fragrance floats in the osmanthus
　　Before making the bed with crushed peonies, ask Lang to sleep with the flowers tonight

　　Gently untie the thin skin to see the skin, nod the head and sniff the breath

　　Perspiration dripping...
