My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 381 Getting Married

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

……

Lanterns and festoons were decorated in the Palace of the King of Han, and under the presidency of the chief of ceremonies, the new couple Zhu Zhanhe and Chang Sining, under the witness of all the guests, made three obeisances as husband and wife.

Zhu Di sat on the main seat, looking at the newcomers paying homage to him, with a kind smile on his face. Two months ago, his eldest grandson got married, and now his second grandson is also married. It is estimated that next year he will be able to I have a great-grandson in my arms.

Princess Han looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and her eyes were red with joy. Her husband was not there. As a mother, she managed the whole wedding. Now that her son is married, she also let go of a worry.

As Chang Sining's only relative, Mrs. Chang happily wiped away her tears. The nephew is expected to revive the family, and the niece is married to a good man. As an aunt, she will be able to meet the ancestors of the Chang family in the future. I have confessed.

After the worship, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber to rest, and Zhu Zhanhe had to toast the guests.

For the grand wedding of the prince of the Han Dynasty, almost all civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty came. After all, not only Zhu Di came today, but also Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, and even some foreign envoys in the capital also sent congratulatory gifts.

Because there were too many guests, the main hall and side halls of the palace were full, and even the several courtyards in the front mansion were also filled with guests.

After Zhu Zhanhe toasted around the main hall and side halls, he came to a courtyard in the front mansion. Originally, the important guests were arranged in the main hall and side halls, and the rest of the courtyards were arranged They were all unimportant guests, there was no need for Zhu Zhanhe to toast in person.

But this cross-court guest was different, they were all Juren who signed up to go to Tianzhu before, and Zhang Zhong was also here.

Zhang Zhong was originally in Nanjing. The scholars and students recruited by the southern state capital were sent to Nanjing after roughly screening. Knowing that Zhu Zhanhe was going to get married, he hurried back from Nanjing.

"Congratulations on your wedding!"

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe coming in, Zheng Li, the only Jinshi in the group, immediately stood up and raised his glass, and the others also congratulated Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Zhanhe returned the gift with a smile, and then had a drink with everyone, and then took the opportunity of the toast, pulled Zhang Zhong aside and said in a low voice: "During the toast in the main hall just now, Da Bo deliberately found me and asked where you are , the British prince was there at the time, so he probably wanted to see you."

"Forget it, after I left home, I didn't want to see him again!"

But Zhang Zhong shook his head firmly and said, the reason why he hid here and didn't go to the main hall was because he didn't want to see that person.

"I understand, anyway, as long as you know about it."

Zhu Zhanhe patted Zhang Zhong on the shoulder. He understood Zhang Zhong better than anyone else. After all, what Zhang Fu did back then was too much, and it was normal for Zhang Zhong not to see him.

"When are you planning to leave?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked Zhang Zhong.

"After drinking your wedding wine, I plan to take Zheng Li and the others to Tianjin. The recruited officials and the relocated prisoners have all been mobilized to various ports, and the ships of all noble families have already been prepared. , just wait for us to set off together.”

Zhang Zhong replied again.

This time recruiting officials, in addition to nearly 200 Juren, there are also [-] scholars and students. Of course, these are not the only ones who signed up. This is only the first batch. If there is a need in the future, there will be a second and third batch. .

As for the prisoners from all over the country, they are also sent to various coastal ports, such as Tianjin, Suzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou. When the fleet passes by, these prisoners will be brought on board.

Zhu Zhanhe chatted with Zhang Zhong for a while, drank a glass of wine with these officials who were going to Tianzhu, and wished them a smooth journey, and then left. After all, these people will be officials of the Han Palace in the future, of course they must be treated well .

Among these juren, Zhao Zhi and Hu Hong sat together, watching Zhu Zhanhe's leaving back, Hu Hong couldn't help but admire: "Your Majesty is really young, but he has made great achievements many times, and even conquered the Japanese province. , compared with him, our lives are in vain."

"I can't say that. We definitely can't compare the status of the son, but the son gave us this opportunity. If we go to Tianzhu in the future, we will definitely have a bright future!"

Zhao Zhi also said confidently at this time.

He went home before and arranged the family affairs. As long as he has a firm foothold in Tianzhu, he will take over the whole family in the future.

In fact, among these juren, as long as they are close to home, almost all of them went back some time ago, handed over the settling expenses given by the palace to their families, and at the same time let them know that they were going to Tianzhu.

Some of them were too far away from home to go back, so people brought back letters, and the expenses of settling down would also be sent by the people of the palace. As for bringing the family and going to Tianzhu together, no one has done so for the time being, after all, they have not yet Knowing Tianzhu's situation, he dared not take his family on a risky adventure.

Zhu Zhanhe returned to the main hall, made another round of toasts to the guests, then ate and chatted with Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others, and did not return to the bridal chamber until evening.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand dollars, but the taste is not enough for outsiders.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanhe and Chang Sining offered tea to Princess Han.

Princess Han is also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, otherwise she would not have been allowed to participate in the Zhuchai meeting early, so after drinking Chang Sining's tea, she also specially praised her a few words.

Sun Ruowei, who was standing behind Princess Han, felt sore in her heart, but she also knew that she was not qualified to compete with Chang Sining, and that Zhu Zhanhe had treated her very well, leaving the most profitable workshops in the mansion to her, so She has long since had no complaints.

Even Sun Ruowei was still thinking about how to get along with Chang Sining after marriage, because she wanted to be Zhu Zhanhe's side concubine, she had to get Chang Sining's nod.

As a newlywed, Zhu Zhanhe also gave himself a good vacation, until three days later, when Zhang Zhong and his fleet were about to set sail, Zhu Zhanhe came to Tianjin in person to see Zhang Zhong and others off.

This is the first time for each noble family to sail to the Western Ocean independently. Whether it was a voyage to the Western Ocean or to the South Seas before, the honorable nobles have made a lot of money. Therefore, for this trip to the Western Ocean, each noble family also has Rivet enough strength.

Zhang Zhong is in charge of commanding the entire fleet. With his previous experience, he is quite confident about this voyage to the West.

Zhu Zhanhe held a banquet at Tianjin Port to see Zhang Zhong and the others off, and finally sent them aboard the ship himself.

But when he was leaving, Zhang Zhong suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe: "Zhanhe, you have already brought down the Japanese provinces, and the Japanese pirate rebellion has been completely eliminated. Shouldn't the sea ban also be abolished?"
