Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 398
In the past two days since Suzhou rushed back to Nanjing, the sky is sunny.

The moon was shining brightly, Xiao Huangmen, who was driving the carriage, showed his badge, and the soldiers and horses patrolling the city escorted Zhu Biao and others back to Miyagi.

The father and son in the ruined temple, starving and dazed, heard the sound of horseshoes, and thought it was another patrolman coming over, so they hurriedly settled into the ruined temple.

"The night in the capital is good, there are no idlers strolling in the streets." Zhu Biao said to Xu Miaowei sitting in the carriage.

"Excellent, less theft." Xu Miaowei squinted outside, then withdrew her gaze: "Your Highness will be very happy in a few days."

Zhu Biao closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and when he didn't sleep, he would sleep.

Hu Mansion, reception hall.

Emperor Zhu explicitly banned officials from taking prostitutes, but there were policies and countermeasures. Brothels in the capital were not convenient for entertaining guests, so Hu Weiyong called his three singers from the mansion, who were actually his own concubines.

At the banquet tonight, Hu Weiyong invited Chen Ning and Tu Jie, and asked his singer to accompany the dance in person.

Hu Weiyong glanced at the two of them: "That Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment really doesn't know how to open alms. Hu Mou invites him, it's not flattering."

Chen Ning was drinking, squinting at the diva, this Hu Weiyong's life was similar to that of the emperor, there were several women and concubines, all of them could be seductive.

The three of them didn't drink for nothing tonight, it is very likely that the concubine of the Hu family will have to accompany Tu Jie and Chen Ning.

"Wang Guangyang has been very prosperous these few days. Let him have a few more days of glory. I hope the two of you can do more to help Hu." Hu Weiyong smiled treacherously.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Tu Jie raised his wine glass and raised it.

"That's natural. In a few days, I'll wait in front of His Majesty, Duo Er reminded me several times, collect Wang Guangyang's faults, and exaggerate them. It's almost the same."

Hu Weiyong said: "I have visited Prime Minister Li several times, but he has never seen him behind closed doors. This is really strange."

"Oh, is it true that Li Xiangzhen is ill. Brother Hu will go and have a look in a few days."

Hu Weiyong nodded, raised his wine glass to pay respects to the two, and quietly thought about the ministers who could be wooed by the court.

As long as they are willing to drink their own wine and sleep with their own women, it will be easy to handle. If they have closer personal relationships, people present will have a lot of entanglements when they come and go.

Find a way to bring the Ministry of Justice and Taichang Temple here, and the position of prime minister can never escape from his palm.

After drinking for three rounds, the singer and dancer rested, Hu Weiyong motioned them to accompany Chen Ning and Tu Jie.

The two only know that a moment of Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold, but they don't know that even a moment of Chunxiao may cost their lives.

The first thing to do when you return to the palace.Zhu Biao first sent Xu Miaowei back to the East Palace, and then asked Wei Shouzheng and the others to take Daoyan to make arrangements.

Then I went to Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Emperor Zhu had already asked the palace servants to greet him outside the palace, and from a distance he smiled and said, "Biaoer."

"Father." Zhu Biao shouted, without any extra words, simply talked about the affairs of Suzhou Mansion and Monk Daoyan.

Of course, Dao Yan's words that he should have died early but he didn't die were omitted. This father never let Jin Yiwei supervise him.You can also transfer Jinyiwei to do things at will.

"Let's rest here tonight. The happy event will be in two days. Dad will chat with you." After Emperor Zhu said this, Yu Yi immediately took a set of summer quilts.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, June [-]th, it is suitable for marriage and travel.

The capital, the Shen family.

Today, just after waking up early, taking a shower and changing clothes and returning to the main room, Shen Qiancheng came in with a small box in his arms.

Shen Zhifu opened his eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Shen Qiancheng.

In the past, he said that all the deeds and shops in the Jiangnan area were divided into her own name. She had a good idea in her heart. Later, the deeds of the deeds and shops were all in her own hands.

At this time, when he said that he would spend a million taels as a dowry for himself, she was still surprised.

"Your mother is being married by my matchmaker. As for giving you the shop in Jiangnan as a dowry, that's also Grandma's idea. The 700 million taels in the money bank is a gift from your father." Shen Qiancheng held the red sandalwood box and handed it to her.

"Father, auntie and the others... my daughter is ashamed."

"What did they say? You are the first daughter of my Shen family. It's just a small part of our family. What a shame."

"Since ancient times, merchants have been inferior, and father is not a prince or minister. But father is rich, so he will marry you more."

"When you enter the palace, you can use it. In a critical moment, you can buy a living with money."

At this moment, Shen Zhifu's heart was severely pinched, and her eye circles were red with soreness.

"father……"

"Don't worry, the Shen family is also a relative of the emperor now. When father was young, he used to do business by any means. But now father will be safe and secure, and won't embarrass my girl. This way you will be better behaved in the palace."

Her vision was blurred and her head was down.

"Come here, let the young lady dress up." Shen Qiancheng signaled the servant girl to show her face.

It was still early before the auspicious time, and the Shen family ordered someone to carefully count the dowry items, such as jade pillows decorated with precious stones, gold and silver jewelry, white jade wishful knots...

The dowry is rich, mainly because the prince's status is not to be despised.

These Feng Guanxia pendants were given by officials from the Ministry of Rites to Shen's house a few days ago, and Shen Qiancheng gave them to the people who came from the palace, thanking each person for 50 taels of silver.

The Shen family was full of guests today, and the entire capital, from the officials to the common people, knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to marry the young lady of the Shen family.Shouting words like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's great joy.

In their view, the young lady of the Shen family is talented and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and promising. This is a good relationship and a happy event for Daming.

But others were disappointed.

"Miss Shen has entered the palace. It seems that I can't be the son-in-law of the Shen family. The Shen family's shop has lost all its money."

"If you're like this, the mother-in-law of the Shen family doesn't even look up to you, so let's just daydream and want to take over the Shen family's property. Go to the temple and beg for you to join a good family in your next life."

"You don't look much better."

Several young juniors fought in the crowd.

The courtyard of the Shen family was very lively, everyone came to see off the bride, for this reason, Shen Qiancheng prepared a lot of delicious food and wine to entertain the guests.

Shen Zhishi, who was sitting in the main room, glanced at the maidservant next to him: "Remember to ask my father to take all the leftover dishes from today to the beggars and poor people outside the city."

The mother-in-law nodded, and then went to explain to the cook and the wife of the Shen family.

……

Because the phone was passed in advance, in order to ensure safety, the household department and Lu Chang brought a lot of soldiers and horses to transport the dowry.

The 700 million taels of banknotes, as well as those gold and silver jewelry, had to be transported into Miyagi.

The servant of the household department led people to cooperate with Lu Chang to check and register in person.

Naturally, this dowry has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lu Chang brought Xia Yuanji today just to urge them.

After a rough calculation, the Minister of Tobe's face turned pale.The annual taxation of the Ming treasury, except for grain and silk, has more than 1000 million taels of silver, which is a good year for the past two years.

Calculated by the Shen family, silver money plus gold and silver jewelry is converted into more than 900 million taels, which is almost as large as the national treasury's annual cash bills.

"The Shen family is so rich." The servant of the household department sighed, if he had been born a few years earlier, it would be great to be the son-in-law of the Shen family.

……

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] is Shen time.

Application time to welcome relatives.

The ceremonial officer then said: "His Royal Highness, the time has come."

Zhu Biaoxin said, why he was a little excited, he was obviously an old husband and wife.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as blocking the door and asking for red envelopes for wedding shoes, or blocking the way with red envelopes.

There is no need to draw a clown for the man's parents to show off, even if there is.No one dared to draw the current emperor to draw a clown.

Because welcoming relatives is not the highlight.

The maids and servants from the palace helped Shen Zhiwu get into Yandi's chariot.

She is beautiful, wearing a wedding gown, phoenix crown and Xiapei, making her dazzlingly beautiful, although her face cannot be seen.

The Yandi chariot was specially ordered by Empress Ma to be prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

……

……

Complicated etiquette, Zhu Biao sighed, he was also the one who gave the dowry.

After the wedding ceremony is completed, you have to get off the sedan chair and walk outside the Meridian Gate, but outside the palace, the sedan chair is lowered into the palace, the crown prince lifts the curtain, the palace people cover it with curtains, and the concubine gets off the sedan chair.

After disembarking from the sedan chair, it will be changed to the Hebei ceremony. The crown prince is the king, and the concubines are the ministers. They should worship His Royal Highness the crown prince.

At the beginning, because she was the first wife when she married Chang's, Zhu Biao and Chang's worshiped the same ceremony.

Along the way, very smooth.

When approaching Miyagi, there was commotion from the crowd in the distance.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, please avenge the grassroots."

A middle-aged man jumped out of the crowd, kneeling in front of the guard of honor.Soon some soldiers drew out their knives to take precautions.

The joyous sounds of the guard of honor stopped.

The soldiers who cleared the way ordered people to drive away and arrest the man.

"His Royal Highness, Your Highness, Cao Min, Cao Min is suing the imperial court, and Cao Min wants to sue the Ministry of Punishment for shielding criminals." The man refused to leave, and was dragged along by the soldiers.

"Stop." Zhu Biao glanced at the guards escorting him and motioned them to take a look.

　Ask for a ticket.The next chapter is a hit.
