Zhu Cilang has been quite upset these days.

Somehow, a group of court officials submitted memorials to the emperor to choose the queen to consolidate the country.

Of course, the emperor’s wedding is not an ordinary trivial matter, the whole process is very complicated.

It is impossible to complete a process within two or three months.

In this matter, Zhu Cilang originally wanted to delay it if he could.

But now it seems unlikely to continue dragging on.

There were about a hundred memorials on the imperial desk alone.

If all these hundred memorials are left unpublished, the government and the people will definitely be in trouble.

Besides, this time the court officials occupied the righteousness.

There is nothing trivial in the family, especially the emperor's wedding and enthronement of the queen.

This is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If the foundation of the country is solid, the country will be solid.

In fact, from Zhu Cilang's perspective, it is nothing if you don't get married at this age, but it is completely different in the eyes of court officials.

He is no longer a teenager at the age of sixteen or seventeen, so he should take on the responsibility of being the successor of Emperor Ming.

In short, Zhu Cilang cannot argue with the court officials.

If you show them facts and reason, they will tell you filial piety and virtues. If you tell them human nature, they will show you wise. If you tell them virtues, they will just be hooligans.

What's more, Zhu Ciyang is already in trouble in this matter

Forget it, isn’t it just after the wedding book? What am I afraid of!

Zhu Cilang smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this moment, he truly felt the embarrassment and helplessness of being forced to marry by his ministers.

In fact, the reason why he didn't want to get married so early was not because of some hidden disease, but because he was afraid that the harem would involve too much energy after getting married.

But now thinking about it, he was actually too worried. First of all, Zhu Cilang is a very self-disciplined person. Even if he gets married, he will not be addicted to women. Otherwise, if there are so many maids in the palace, Zhu Cilang can still maintain his virginity?

After all, in a strict sense, all the women in the palace belong to the emperor, and the only difference is just one name.

As long as you maintain strict restraint, even if you have a queen, it will not affect your daily work too much.

And with a person by your side, you can say a few words hidden in your heart, so that everything will not be kept in your heart.

As for the issue of the royal heir, it is indeed a headache.

From the perspective of this era, it is time for a man, especially an emperor, to have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

No matter how Zhu Cilang fights, it cannot change this situation. It would be better to go with the flow.

In fact, Zhu Cilang has some children's phobia.

He had this conflict in his previous life.

On the one hand, he thinks some good babies are cute, but on the other hand, he thinks naughty children are hateful.

God knows whether he gave birth to a good baby or a naughty child.

However, the benefits of being an emperor in this life can be revealed.

The emperor can have many children, and it is called "the emperor's brightness and the branches and leaves are scattered."

He can't have all been naughty kids, right?

In short, this kind of thing still has to be taken one step at a time, and it is useless to think too much in advance.

Fortunately, now is a relatively suitable time point.

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 Cilang's personal prestige also reached its peak because of the imperial command. It is definitely suitable for a wedding at this time.

After the samadhi, Zhu Cilang was no longer worried and issued an order to order the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter with full authority.

The emperor's wedding is not about getting married by the people. There is a whole process to go.

From draft to selection and elimination, a list of several people was presented for the emperor to choose, and it must be completed without a single step.

After giving this matter, Zhu Cilang focused his energy on the formation training of the navy.

The Denglai Navy has been formed for a while, but the effect is not as expected.

Originally, Zhu Cilang wanted the Denglai Navy to perform in the battle in Shandong, but for various reasons, he had to give up.

The main reason is that there are too few generals with experience in water warfare.

Naturally, the generals of the Ming Navy were all mercenaries hired by Folangji, but they had to be their own people.

It is definitely not possible to poach people from the Zheng family.

Zhu Cilang decided to go to Zheng Hua, and there was no need for the Zheng family except Zheng Chenggong.

Zhang Huangyan is pretty good, Zhang Mingzhen can do it, but there is still a lack of grassroots generals.

Do you want to go to Guangdong to dig some people?

The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Youlong, was a capable minister and was said to have trained a powerful navy.

If Zhu Ciyang went directly to ask for someone, would he be suspected of poaching?

But if you think about it carefully, even if you poach your own corner, it seems that there is no problem.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cilang felt that if he wanted to improve the strength of the Denglai Naval Division in the short term, he could only rely on this method, so he no longer hesitated to order the liexi supervisor to draft an order, and ordered the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Chen Youlong to transfer the elite generals of the Guangdong Navy to Shandong Tingkan.

Zhu Cilang has a strong personality and will not change easily since he has made a decision.

Chen Youlong has to adjust people if he receives the order, and if he does not receive the order, he has to adjust people if he does not.

However, Zhu Cilang felt that Chen Youlong would probably still receive the order to thank him.

There were many civil officials in the history of the Ming Dynasty who resisted the order in order to invite fame and sell their names.

Their reason for resisting the edict is that the edict has not been processed by the cabinet and the six departments, which is a false destiny and disorderly destiny.

But Chen Youlong probably won't. Even if his thoughts are inconsistent with the king, he will be able to implement them.

However, the situation in Yunnan made Zhu Cilang feel a little worried.

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 it was pacified by the Western Army.

But there must be some reasons why the Southern Ming court was in name only at that time.

The current situation is much better, but I don’t know if Qin Liangyu can quell the Shadingzhou Rebellion in advance.

In fact, the frequent rebellions in the three southwestern provinces are ultimately due to the chieftain problem.

The hereditary system of chieftains led to the court's inability to rule the local area and was almost out of control.

The best way to cure this stubborn disease is to change the land and return to the flow.

But this is not something you can say casually.

Changing the land and returning to the current is equivalent to reducing the vassal states, and it is even more difficult than reducing the vassal states.

After all, there are at most dozens of people who have the title of Prince, while there are hundreds of them.

If one-size-fits-all changes the land and returns to the current situation, I am afraid that the chieftains who did not want to rebel would also have to rebel.

It is imperative to change the land and return to the flow, but it is definitely not now. It is best to wait until the Ming Dynasty solves the trouble of the Qing Dynasty before implementing it.

However, we can try to implement some moderate policies, such as the order to give in.

The Order of Rewarding began in the Western Han Dynasty, which means to split the land of the kingdom and enfeoff the descendants.

In this way, as a huge kingdom is passed down from generation to generation, it will become smaller and smaller, thus losing the threat to the court.

It is probably the same when used in toast.

There must be more than one child in the toast, right?

Then let's divide the property together.
