If the most miserable queen in China is selected, Zhu Lian, the Empress Renhuai of Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty, will definitely be selected.

Before Zhao Huan became emperor, although he was the crown prince, his biological mother died too early and no one helped him, so his position as the crown prince was unstable, which led to Zhao Huan having to be a human being with his tail between his legs.

As the prince Zhao Huan is like this, the princess Zhu Lian, naturally, has to be more cautious in being a human being.

Finally, Zhu Lian survived until Zhao Huan became emperor and she became the queen.

But then the Jin army headed south.

In just over a year, the Jingkang shame broke out. Zhu Lian, together with countless Zhao clan members and countless poor women, were captured by the Jin people, and went to the north.

Zhu Lian's identity as the Queen of Song Dynasty did not give her any favors. Instead, she was often teased by Jin soldiers because of her young and beautiful appearance and noble status.

Finally, they reached the capital of Huining Prefecture of the Jin Dynasty at that time. The Jin people held another prisoner offering ceremony, ordering Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and Empress Zheng, and Zhu Lian, all wearing clothes worn by the Jin people, wrapped their heads in their heads and sheep fur. The concubines and royal family exposed their upper bodies and went to the temple of the Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda. They also ordered the Empress Dowager Zheng and Empress Zhu Lian to enter the Jin Palace to "give baths".

Zhu Lian couldn't stand the insult. He first hanged himself, was rescued, and then committed suicide by jumping into the water.

Being clean and tidy, one can be chaste. Everyone is drunk and awake, and they will not surrender their integrity.

Compared with the cowardice of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son, Zhu Lian, a woman, is much stronger.

Since Zhu Lian appeared, Cai Jian's eyes have never left this virtuous woman.

Seeing this, Cai Mao lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Six, you are so brave. Even the Crown Princess dares to move."

Cai Shen heard this and quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If this is spread, not only will I suffer, but our Cai family will be affected."

Cai Mao said dismissively: "All right, the prince has always been generous and will not offend others for these trivial matters. Besides, the Crown Princess, together with her two sisters, was the partner of a young talent in Beijing who wanted to marry before getting married. There are so many people who fantasize about them, and you are not alone, you are the sixth uncle."

Cai Mao changed his tone and said, "By the way, you actually have the chance to marry the daughter of the Zhu family."

Cai Jian was slightly stunned and asked, "How can I explain this?"

Cai Mao said: "Don't you know how to catch your son-in-law under the list?"

Cai still really knows this.

The Song Dynasty was the era when China's imperial examination system was the most perfect. The examination and the selection of scholars became the main way to select officials for the court. Those who win the imperial examination received both fame and fortune and were treated generously, which led to people taking the imperial examination and taking the career path as the ultimate goal of their life struggle. Once they were on the gold list, the "breeding candles" that marry the daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families immediately followed one after another.

But after all, the official position is limited and cannot withstand the competition among the world. Therefore, only the best are expected to win, so everyone has to study hard. "If you don't get to the top, you won't get married" has become the oath of some people.

Even Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty Zhao Heng expressed this meaning in his poem: "A rich family does not need to sell fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book; there is no need to build a sorghum in the house, there is a golden house in the book; there is no regret for having no matchmaker in marriage, there is a beauty in the book; there is no regret for not following others when going out, there are many carriages and horses in the book; a man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, and read the Six Classics diligently to the window."

This created many unmarried young people and even older men in the Song Dynasty.

This also affected the standards for women in the Song Dynasty to choose a spouse.

Since it is popular to be an official, the ladies of the family naturally squeeze out their heads to become officials' ladies.

So, on the day the list was issued, the rich gentry from all over the country went out to select the first-class scholars as their son-in-law.

The scene was simply a robbery, and the public called him "catching his son-in-law".

This kind of "catching a son-in-law" is simply at the point of "eating without choice".

Many people put the good and bad luck of yin and yang, family background, etc. that customs value, and even if this new Jinshi was single, there was no time to consider whether the new Jinshi was still single. There was a young juren who had a very extraordinary appearance and was attracted by a powerful family. His family sent more than a dozen strong men to gather the young man to his family. The young man neither refused nor escaped, but went there happily. Soon, a man in a high-ranking official robe came to the young man and asked, "I only have one daughter, I am not ugly and willing to marry a wife with a young man, I wonder if I can marry a young man?" The young man bowed deeply and refused, "I am from a humble background. If I can climb high, it is of course a blessing. Why don't you wait for me to go home and discuss it with my wife before talking about it?" The onlookers burst into laughter and then dispersed.

Sometimes age is not something to be considered. There is a man named Han Nan, who passed the Jinshi exam and soon someone came to propose marriage to him. He did not refuse, but wrote a quatrain: "I read a hundred chunks of documents and I will only get a blue shirt when I am old. But the matchmaker asked me about my age, forty years ago, thirty-three."

Therefore, current Jinshi like Cai Shen is very popular. Some people want to recruit or even rob them as son-in-law. What's more, Cai Shen is young and handsome and comes from a prominent family, so he is even more popular.

However, on the day of the listing, Cai still did not go to see the list in person.

Afterwards, Cai Jian quickly gave up the civil servant with a long-term future and entered the humble martial arts journey.

This led to no one who came to recruit Cai and was still the son-in-law.

Cai Mao said: "If you don't choose to abandon your literature and follow the military, you can definitely get the Zhu family's daughter as your wife based on your status as the fourth place in the current academic year and the reputation of our Cai family."

Cai Mao glanced at Zhu Lian and said, "It is said that the Crown Princess is not the most beautiful among the three sisters. The most beautiful one is Zhu Shener, the Crown Princess' cousin. It is rumored that her beauty is not inferior to that of Liu Concubine Liu."

Speaking of this, Cai Mao looked at Cai Jian and said, "Uncle Six, how are you? Do you regret it?"

Although it has become a fact and a while has passed, many people still find it difficult to understand Cai’s choice, including Cai Mao.

Cai still smiled and did not answer the question, but asked, "When will Liang Yanei arrange for me to pay homage to Taiwei Liang?"

Cai Mao pointed at the person who was surrounded by Liang Shicheng with his chin and said, "From this attitude, I can only wait for the banquet to finish."

Cai still nodded, he thought so too.

At this time, Cai Shen suddenly saw a man leaving the crowd and walking alone towards the garden not far away.

Don't get me wrong, this person is not a woman, but a man, and a middle-aged man with a slightly round (slightly fat) figure.

This person's surname is Zhao and Ding.

That's right.

He was the leader of the wise ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was named Zhao Ding, four ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, together with Li Gang, Hu Quan and Li Guang.

After just learning about Zhao Ding's name by chance, Cai still kept paying attention to him.

Seeing that Zhao Ding was alone, Cai still immediately said to Cai Mao: "I'll go and make some convenience."

After saying that, without waiting for Cai Mao to reply, Cai still walked straight towards Zhao Ding...
