Concubine Liang smiled and said: "But now there is no queen mother in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to choose a concubine according to the etiquette law, Your Majesty's personal election and the election of the concubine for the post of queen mother are expedient, not to mention, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is my Ming iron law, this election of concubines, how Your Majesty does it is naturally determined by Your Majesty, we still have to worry less about this heart, and take care of the old age, if it is really according to the Ming etiquette system, you and I should have gone with the temple, and now thanks to the grace of the Ying Temple, I can still sit here with my sister and talk about some idle things." ”Concubine Liang said at this time, "If it were according to the Ming etiquette system, they should have gone with the temple a long time ago" There is a root in the words.Because, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the harem concubines needed to be martyred after the emperor's death, but later Ming Yingzong felt that this system was too cruel, so he abolished the system.Therefore, according to Concubine Liang's meaning, if they really want to pursue something that is not in line with etiquette, then they should not live.Naturally, she also recognized that the emperor could change the etiquette law.Seeing that Concubine Liang didn't want to participate in the affairs of the harem, Concubine Liu had to smile slightly: "What my sister said is true!"
”Because in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, two successive generations of emperors died.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's harem has many concubines who are higher than him.Among them, there are many of them especially the Wanli Emperor.Including Zheng Guifei, who was very favored in the Wanli Dynasty.In addition, there is also the main figure in the history of the palace transfer case, Xi Li Xuan.However, Xi Li Xuanzhi has now been crowned Concubine Kang by Zhu Youxiao and ordered to live in Renshou Palace.However, in this life, because Zhu Youxiao himself led the entire process of the transfer of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty, he did not give the Donglin Party the opportunity to borrow Li Xuanzhi to perform.Therefore, there was no case of palace transfer.And Xi Li Xuanzhi could only obediently go to Renshou Palace.Zhu Youxiao cooperated with her on the day of the transfer of imperial power, so she was still crowned as a concubine, but Zhu Youxiao did not let her be the queen mother, or the seal of the queen mother.Because Zhu Youxiao knew that Xi Li Xuanzhi had a strong personality, he didn't want his harem to have a storm because Xi Li Xuanzhi was in power.Just as Zhu Youxiao did not let the Hakka family become a saint lady like in history, and became a status in the harem.Zhu Youxiao would rather only give the Hakka family an idle official position and did not add the Hakka title, and still only let him take on the work of "nanny" in the Qianqing Palace.Generally.Zhu Youxiao didn't want his harem to be manipulated by a woman who was higher than him in terms of human ethics.Because, what he thought was that the lord of the harem had to obey him, the emperor, first.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is still ready to wait for the future to let his queen manage the harem for him.…… Yuanhui Hall.According to Zhu Youxiao's will, fifty young girls who were automatically promoted to the emperor's woman were all gathered here at this time.Zhu Youxiao walked in and carefully observed the fifty women.Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Liu Ruoyu was still very serious, because of the competition with Wei Zhongxian, he didn't mess around, and the fifty women selected for him were all beautiful but not too enchanting, gentle and dignified girls.However, after watching it for a while, Zhu Youxiao was still attracted by one of the girls with a shallow pear vortex and a baby face.Zhu Youxiao's heart had a feeling of being caught.Even as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he asked as gently as possible for the first time: "What's your name?"
”"Zhang Yan!"
Zhang Yan lowered her eyebrows and replied smoothly.Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and laughed, but then, Zhu Youxiao's expression became serious again, his brows twisted slightly, and finally he resolutely said: "You will be my own queen." ”"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
Zhang Yan immediately knelt down.Zhu Youxiao said: "Flat!
”Then, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say: "Even if I let the queen still be the queen in history, I can change the fate of the Ming Dynasty!"
”Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to look at the other girls.An even more dignified and elegant girl surnamed Wang caught his mind.Zhu Youxiao let her be his concubine.Then, Zhu Youxiao chose a girl surnamed Duan who looked very clear with big eyes as his concubine.Because according to the concubine selection system of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor needs to choose a queen and two concubines.And that's it.Zhu Youxiao chose his queen and two concubines.The remaining girls are also automatically promoted to concubines.In the end, after the Ministry of Rites conducted a ministerial discussion and the emperor approved it, in addition to Zhang Yan to be named the queen, Wang Guifei was to be named a good concubine, and Duan Guifei was to be named a pure concubine.Then there is the official wedding ceremony of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the canonization ceremony of the queen.Because Zhu Youxiao was the first queen after ascending the throne, the wedding ceremony and the canonization ceremony were held at the same time.During this period, Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that according to the etiquette system, it is necessary to reward the parents of the queen and the concubine, because in this way the grace of the heavenly family can be reflected.Zhu Youxiao also understands this.Although Emperor Daming can only marry girls from ordinary families, once he marries a girl from someone else, he is also a relative of the emperor, and he can't be allowed to be a common person.For this reason, Zhu Youxiao specially sent Wang Yingjiao, the secretary of the household department, Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the two eunuchs who had entered Beijing, to the political hall to discuss the matter."
Your Majesty, according to the custom, the mother of the queen and the concubine needs to be named the lady, and her father should be given the official position of Jinyi Wei or earl, and the field needs to be honored.Sun Ruyou reported up.Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't want to give his Huangzhuang Zhuangtian to his father-in-law, because his Huangzhuang would be the main source of troops for his Yulinwei New Army.And Zhu Youxiao didn't want to let more people's land become private land for Xun Qi, which would affect the revenue of the state treasury.Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao finally decided: "The acres of land in the world are limited, and the Huangzhuang is also limited, and the land is no longer suitable for today's Ming Dynasty. ”Sun Ruyou replied: "Most of them are limited to giving hundreds of hectares of land outside of Yulu, but there are also those who give thousands of hectares and ten thousand hectares. ”"When ten taels and one acres are counted, then give the queen's parents 50,000 taels of silver!
The parents of the concubine are 30,000 taels of silver!
Each reward capital nationality does not have an official residence, the title is not the official position of Jinyi Wei, Jinyi Wei is a military position, can not be easily rewarded in the future, the title is even more so, non-meritorious and not, the father of the queen is the Zhengqing of the Daming Academy of Sciences, and the father of the concubine is assigned to the Shaoqing, so that he can study the principle of all things in the Daming Academy of Sciences, such as agriculture and water conservancy, if I can make the Ming Ming in agriculture and water conservancy and other things, and then add the seal. ”Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said.He felt that although his relatives could not participate in court politics, they could not be raised in vain, and it was better to engage in research at the Academy of Sciences than to raise them in vain, and maybe he could make some new discoveries and benefit the country and the people.But because of this, Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was very surprised by this.
