Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 352
The big thing is not good, the emperor bestowed a marriage.

Several elite soldiers of the Yang family, dressed in iron armor, searched for Yang Chao all over Nanjing, and finally found Yang Chao in Meixianglou.

Yang Chaozheng was a little embarrassed and had nothing to say to Li Xiangjun. At this time, seeing his soldiers, he hurried out.

These soldiers came to Yang Chao because the emperor gave Yang Chao a marriage.

Early this morning, the Yang family and his wife were invited into the palace, and Lu Jiude came to welcome them in person.

When they arrived at the palace, Lu Jiude first acted as a matchmaker to marry the princess to Yang Chao, and immediately surprised the old couple of the Yang family. After their emotions stabilized, there was no reason to refuse, so they agreed with all their mouths. Master Yang Yang Yong is a rare man. The breath rose sharply, indicating that the matchmaker's words were ordered by his parents. He is the head of the family. If Yang Chao dared to say a word, or was rude to the princess, and interrupted his dog legs, Mrs. Yang immediately echoed her husband's words, saying Full support for this 'head of the family'.

Lu Jiude smiled and invited them to have a royal banquet with the emperor. It was considered that the parents of both parties had made an agreement, and then came the letter of appointment and the like.

Marrying a royal daughter is very cumbersome. When the two couples returned home, they found that Yang Chao hadn't come back. They immediately dispatched all the servants to find Yang Chao after turning Nanjing upside down. They didn't need to turn the sky upside down. A few soldiers found Yang Chao easily. tide.

These soldiers are all gunners. They were dispatched to their homes as early as when they confronted Liu Kongzhao, and they did not take them away even when they went north.

I don't want to transfer them away in the future, so I keep these at home to protect the safety of the Yang family.

These soldiers are absolutely happy, their salaries are no less than those of the other musketeers, and Mrs. Yang also rewards them during festivals. She gives them money and sends some meat to their families. They are living a good life, and they all feel a little fat up.

Yang Chao decided to rotate them back into the army for reformation, at least to lose weight.

But the most urgent task at the moment is to deal with the violent parents, especially the mother, after being regarded as important by the emperor and transformed into a royal family.

But don't have to deal with it.

The mother and father sat in the hall as if they were enemies, and looked at Yang Chao who was standing below the hall with stern faces. They told Yang Chao that they had agreed to marry the princess, and it didn't matter if Yang Chao agreed or not. , Parents' orders and matchmaker's words cannot be opposed.

Yang Chao smiled helplessly and agreed!
That's right.

Is there any reason to object? Marrying a princess, and a pretty one at that, Yang Chao has already seen clearly along the way that Aimee Zhu is definitely a beauty.

This is not surprising, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not the emperor of the later Qing Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will never marry an ugly girl, because the Ming Dynasty has no tradition of political marriage, the princess of the Ming Dynasty will not marry a foreigner, the Ming Dynasty It is also impossible for the emperor of the dynasty to marry a foreigner, and for some reason, the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty rarely even married important ministers of the dynasty, just like Chongzhen's favorite concubine Tian Guifei, the daughter of a military officer in Yangzhou, the empress He came from a small merchant family.

The reason why the royal family of the Ming Dynasty neither married powerful people nor intermarried with foreigners was because the outsiders believed that marriage was a shame, and they were in a kind of self-esteem of the celestial dynasty, and internally they were worried about the influence of foreign relatives interfering in politics, so the marriage of princes and emperors, Often through the form of folk drafts, and generally only find some ordinary families.

For these middle-level families, the imperial power does not require any support from them, so there is only one criterion for selection, and that is appearance. Therefore, whether it is the concubine or the empress of the Ming Dynasty emperor, they are often regarded as beautiful.

Coupled with beautiful women for hundreds of years, the genes of the Ming royal family have obviously evolved towards good looks. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang is not very good-looking, after more than ten generations, there is no dispute about the beauty of handsome men and women of his descendants It's normal for Aimee Zhu to be a beautiful woman.

Marrying a princess, and a beautiful one at that, Yang Chao couldn't find any reason to refuse.

As for what love?Don't be funny, Yang Chao didn't care much about this thing after college, not to mention that he has a high position and power now, and he doesn't think about things like ordinary people anymore. Marrying a princess is helpful to him no matter how you look at it Fortunately, especially in the current situation, marriage with the imperial power is also very important to Yang Chao.

But Yang Chao's easy agreement made his parents feel like throwing a punch at nothing. They were already prepared. This time, no matter what, they didn't plan to accommodate their son. They were all ordinary people. Military households have never seen any big world before, so after their son made a fortune, they were very loose about their son's restraint, because they felt that they couldn't understand what their son was doing, so time and time again their son shirked their request to start a family , They didn't insist too much, they were just secretly anxious.

It's just that this time they don't plan to give in no matter what, because being able to marry the Tian family, is there such a good thing in this world? The mother has already planned it out. If her son continues to be stubborn, she plans to cry, make trouble, and hang himself. The forced son could not submit, but the son just stood in the hall, then nodded casually, and said, "Okay!"
This makes parents feel as if it is fake.

"You really agree?"

The father didn't believe the general question. Although he couldn't find a reason for his son's refusal, after being rejected dozens of times, he was really a little scared.

Yang Chao continued to nod: "I agree!"

Mother also said: "Don't go back on your word!"

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Why do you regret it?"

The parents looked at each other and immediately decided: "Then get married as soon as possible!"

In fact, the emperor's gift of marriage cannot be refused, but the little emperor probably let his parents pick a date because of Yang Chao's great achievements. Various ceremonies.

After getting Yang Chao's consent, the parents immediately asked someone to count the recent good days.

On the sixth day of October, it is suitable for weddings and funerals.

It was settled quickly.

The emperor drew up an edict, confirmed the marriage contract, and then asked the Rites Supervisor and the Rites Department to handle the matter together.

After the news of the emperor's marriage to Yang Chao came out, many people envied Yang Chao's family, Zhenglong, and even before the wedding day, some people came to congratulate him.

It's just that some civil servants are worried in private, worrying that Yang Chao's power is too great, which will be harmful to the country.

Although Yang Chao's performance has always been quite satisfactory, although he has a heavy army in his hands, and although he has made great achievements in guarding and standing up, he is not as domineering as Zuo Liangyu. Overwhelming.

Compared with Zuo Liangyu, who was already rebellious when Emperor Chongzhen was around, he was naturally much stronger than the four towns stationed in Jiangbei. Those in Gaojie held heavy troops, and now they were all stationed near big cities. They have the power to collect their own taxes, and they are quite domineering. They are not polite to the civil servants sent to supervise the army.

Of course, they didn't think they could control Yang Chao, but they believed that if there was a change, the court would be able to mobilize Yang Chao's army, but Zuo Liangyu and the four towns were hard to say.

But even if Yang Chao reassured them, they didn't agree with the emperor's actions. After all, Yang Chao's power was too much. Ah, if the officers under his command have different ideas and force Yang Chao to do something like adding a yellow robe, it will not be good for the court or Yang Chao.

So the civil officials are actually worried about this matter, but they really don't want to object, because the emperor just punished the speech officer, and at this time other civil officials wrote to object, it was obviously a blow to the little emperor's anger, the little emperor obviously wanted to win over Yang Chao, they If the remonstrance is not done well, the emperor will doubt them.

And it will definitely offend Yang Chao. At this time, whether it is the Donglin Group or the other civil officials suppressed by Donglin, they have seen the situation clearly. At this time, if everyone wants to be an official with peace of mind, it still depends on the support of the generals. When Ma Shiying took refuge in King Fu, now that the new king has ascended the throne, hasn't he done anything to Ma Shiying? Isn't it because Ma Shiying has the support of four towns heroes.

What's more, the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, who came back to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with Yang Chao's acquiescence, strongly supported this matter. Offending Yang Chao, so those who are worried about this matter are only a few ministers who claim to be upright.

However, Shi Kefa, the representative of this kind of minister, did not come forward to object, and he also hesitated whether it would be beneficial to the court. It is not a bad thing for Chao to do his best for the court.

Therefore, the matter of the emperor's bestowing marriage was settled when individual civil servants were worried, without any twists and turns.

From one aspect, Yang Chao didn't use his military power, fought too much in the court, and won the favor of most civil officials, which put him in a very favorable position, that is, neither party would be offended, and he could play with ease in the middle.

It's just inevitable that some people will be hurt.

For example, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun, whom Yang Chao had just agreed to accept as concubines.

"Zhao Kang, go to Jinchai Tower to find Kang Xiaobao, and ask him to take Chen Yuanyuan to Dong's house immediately, and watch Dong Xiaowan! Don't let her do anything stupid!"

As soon as the imperial edict of marriage was issued, Yang Chao immediately asked Zhao Kang to go to Jinchai Tower.

Yang Chao himself immediately went to the Meixiang Building. Compared with Dong Xiaowan, who had a high EQ and a serious mind, Yang Chao was more worried about this incense fan falling into the pillars and jumping off the building at every turn. This woman really dared to die for love.

When Yang Chao marries a princess, these two women will naturally be shocked. It's not that they are jealous. In fact, no matter how many women Yang Chao marries, they will not be jealous. Isn't it common for a man to have three wives and four concubines? But the woman he married is a princess , Yang Chao's identity is no longer an ordinary person, but a son-in-law.

And the son-in-law is not qualified to take concubines!
