Zhu Cixiang has been quite upset these days.
For some reason, many courtiers petitioned the emperor to appoint a queen to consolidate the country.
The emperor's wedding is of course no ordinary trivial matter.
The whole process is very complicated.
It is impossible to complete a set of processes within two or three months.
Zhu Cixiang originally wanted to delay this matter as long as he could.
But now it seems that it is impossible to continue to delay.
There are more than a hundred memorials on the imperial desk alone.
If all these hundred or so memorials were left unpublished, the government and the public would definitely explode.
Moreover, this time the courtiers had great righteousness.
There is no small matter in the Tian family, especially the emperor’s wedding and the appointment of a queen.
This is related to the foundation of Ming Dynasty.
If the foundation of the country is strong, the country will be strong.
In fact, from Zhu Cihong's point of view, not getting married at this age is really nothing, but in the eyes of courtiers, it is completely different.
Sixteen or seventeen years old is no longer considered young, and he should shoulder the responsibility of continuing the heirs of the emperor.
In short, Zhu Cihong could not argue with the courtiers.
You tell them the facts and reason, and they tell you about filial piety and morality.
You talk favors to them, and they give you reasons.
If you tell them about virtue, they will just act like a hooligan.
What's more, Zhu Cihong was wrong in this matter.
That's all, isn't it the queen of the wedding?
What am I afraid of?
Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
At this moment, he really felt the embarrassment and helplessness of being forced into marriage by the ministers.
In fact, the reason why he didn't want to get married so early was not because of any hidden illness, but because he was afraid that the harem would involve too much of his energy after getting married.
But now that I think about it, he was actually worrying too much.
First of all, Zhu Cixi is a very self-disciplined person.
Even if he is married, he will not indulge in female sex.
Otherwise, with so many maids in the palace, Zhu Cixiang could still remain a virgin.
After all, strictly speaking, all the women in the palace belong to the emperor, the only difference is their status.
As long as you maintain strict restraint, even having a queen will not affect your daily work too much.
Moreover, with a pillow companion, you can also say a few words hidden in your heart, so that everything will not be kept in your heart.
As for the issue of the emperor's heir, it is indeed a troublesome matter.
From the perspective of this era, a man, especially an emperor, should have children when he is sixteen or seventeen years old.
No matter how hard Zhu Cixiang fought, he couldn't change the situation, so it was better to just go with the flow.
In fact, Zhu Cixiang has some phobias about children.
He had this ambivalence in his previous life.
On the one hand, he thinks some well-behaved babies are cute, but on the other hand, he thinks naughty children are disgusting.
God knows whether he will give birth to a good baby or a naughty one. so But the benefits of being an emperor in this life can be revealed.
The emperor could have many children, which was euphemistically known as spreading the branches and leaves of the emperor.
It's impossible for him to give birth to all naughty children, right?
In short, this kind of thing still needs to be taken step by step.
It is useless to think too much in advance.
Fortunately, now is a more appropriate time.
The Ming army had just defeated the Qing army in Shandong, and the Qing army should not invade again in a short period of time.

Zhu Cixiang's personal prestige also reached its peak because of his personal conquest.
This time is definitely suitable for a wedding.
After thinking about it, Zhu Cixi no longer hesitated and ordered the Ministry of Rites to take full charge of the matter.
The emperor's wedding is not just a matter of ordinary people going to the wedding hall to get married.
There is a whole set of procedures to go through.
From the draft to the selection and elimination, and finally submitting the list of several people for the emperor to appoint, it must be completed in one step.
After ordering this matter, Zhu Cixiang concentrated his energy on the formation and training of the navy.
The Denglai Navy has been established for some time, but the results are not as expected.
Originally, Zhu Cixiang wanted Denglai Navy to perform well in the Battle of Shandong, but he had to give up due to various reasons.
The main reason is that there are too few generals with experience in water warfare.
Naturally, the generals of the Ming Navy cannot all be Fo Langji mercenaries, they still have to be their own people.
It's definitely not possible to poach people from the Zheng family.
Zhu Cixiang decided that the navy would go to Zhenghua without anyone from the Zheng family except Zheng Chenggong.
Zhang Huangyan is good, and Zhang Mingzhen is also good, but there is still a lack of grassroots generals.
Do you want to go to Guangdong to recruit some people?
Shen Youlong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was a capable minister and was said to have trained a powerful navy.
If Zhu Cixi goes to ask for someone directly, will he be suspected of poaching?
But if you think about it carefully, even if you are poaching, you are also poaching your own corner, so there seems to be no problem.
After much deliberation, Zhu Cixi felt that this was the only way to improve the strength of the Denglai Navy in the short term, so he no longer hesitated to order the Supervisor of Ceremonies to draw up an order and ordered the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Shen Youlong to dispatch the elite generals of the Guangdong Navy.
Shandong Tingkan.
Zhu Cixiang has a very strong character, and once he has made a decision, he will not change it easily.
Shen Youlong had to mobilize people even if he was receiving orders, and he had to mobilize people even if he was not receiving orders.
However, Zhu Cixiang felt that Shen Youlong would probably accept the order and thank him.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many civil servants who rebelled against the imperial edict in order to gain fame.
The reason why they resisted the decree was generally that the imperial decree had not gone through the procedures of the cabinet and the six departments, and was a false decree.
But Shen Youlong probably won't.
Even if his thoughts are inconsistent with the king's, he will still carry out his orders.
It is the situation in Yunnan that worries Zhu Cixiang.
The Shadingzhou Rebellion occurred half a year earlier than the original history.
Will it cause a series of chain reactions?
In the original history, the Shadingzhou Rebellion lasted for a long time before being put down by the Daxi Army.
But there must be a reason why the Nanming court existed in name only at that time.
The current situation is much better, but I don't know if Qin Liangyu can put down the Sha Dingzhou rebellion in advance.
In fact, the reason why rebellions occur frequently in the three southwestern provinces is ultimately due to the chieftain issue.
The hereditary system of chieftains resulted in the imperial court being unable to rule the local area, which was close to a state of control.
The best way to cure this stubborn disease is to change the situation.
But this is not something you can just say casually.
Reforming the country and returning it to the local people is equivalent to cutting down the feudal vassalage, and is even more difficult than cutting down the feudal vassalage.
After all, there are at most a dozen or dozens of people with prince titles, while there are hundreds or even thousands of chieftains.
If we really change the situation across the board, I'm afraid those chieftains who didn't want to rebel will also do so.
It is imperative to change the situation, but not now.
It is best to wait until the Ming Dynasty solves the problem of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties before implementing it.
But now we can try to implement some moderate policies, such as extending grace orders.
The Tuien Order began in the Western Han Dynasty, which meant dividing the kingdom's land to all its heirs.
In this way, a huge kingdom will become smaller and smaller from generation to generation, thus losing the threat to the court.

It probably means the same thing when used here in toast.
Toast must have more than one child.
Then let's divide the family property together.
There may not be any significant changes in one generation, but after three or five generations, a chieftain's territory may only be as big as a village
