Chapter 16

The next day, I went to Huang Zongxi to visit Huang Zongxi again. Although Huang Zongxi is only a half-year-old child now, Zhu Youjian knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to become the third generation of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties to become the third generation. Helping him in time will always win people's hearts more than adding icing on the cake. Zhu Youxiao could not understand such a simple truth.

Three days later, with the help of Zhu Youjian, Wen Zhenmeng and others, they picked up a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the Yao family finally got buried in peace. The three children in front of the grave cried like an unlucky person. After repeated comfort, they supported Huang Zongxi. The group returned to the city in a carriage.

In the past few days, Zhu Youjian and Huang Zongxi have become familiar with each other. Zhu Youxiao tried to throw out an olive branch and said, "Zongxi, your family suddenly changed a lot. I am about to marry and become a vassal. Can Zongxi help me?"

After hearing this, Huang Zongxi said, "The prince is kind, and Zongxi remembers it. But I am not good at learning skills now, and even if I am a vassal with the prince, I can't help much. What's more, my mother is new and the court is rampant, and she really has no intention of career. Students want to stay in Beijing to be a filial piety and become a teacher. If I succeed in my studies in the future, I will definitely help the prince."

Zhu Youjian also felt a little hasty when he invited him rashly and said, "Okay, then you can study hard in the capital. If there is anything I can help with, don't be polite."

Huang Zongxi said: "Thank you for your understanding. If Zongxi has any difficulties in the future, he will ask the prince to help you more..."

Zhu Youjian said: "As long as I can, you can come and find it."

Before he knew it, the carriage had entered the city and was about to reach the royal palace, and he instructed the coachman to send Huang Zongxi, Wen Zhenmeng and others back to the mansion. Zhu Youjian got off the carriage and returned to the royal palace.

However, it is said that since Zhu Youjian told Empress Tianqi that his marriage was arranged in full swing. The marriage of the princes in the Ming Dynasty was extremely complicated, and according to the six ceremony of the Shangshu's marriage, "Na Cai, ask for names, Najib, Encourage, and invite a date, and welcome them in person". In addition, as brothers of the Tianqi, Tianqi also needed to go to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors. In addition, the Ministry of Rites had to order a crown and dress, choose a good day, and write three books.

After the Zhou family learned that their daughter was appointed to be the Prince's Concubine, Zhou Kuiding was overjoyed. Although the family was defeated, once they became a royal relative, their family would naturally go to countless steps.

What's more, his son is serving as a military force in Liaodong and will die forever. If he can form this royal relative, it is possible to find an opportunity to transfer back to the capital.

Seeing that his parents were so willing and his family was so poor, Zhou Ling was reluctant to say anything. As the matchmaker appointed by Tianqi, Liu An of the Ministry of Rites, Najixun decided to ask for his name.

As the only brother of Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty was famous for treating the royal family with preferential treatment. Apocalypse allocated tens of thousands of taels of silver from the inner treasury to serve as a ceremonial ceremony for Zhu Youjian. For a time, the royal palace was decorated with prosperity and joy everywhere.

Zhu Youjian himself was not very cold about this. In Zhu Youjian's opinion, it would rather bring these silver to Liaodong than waste it. However, now he is a slight person and can only let him mercy.

Within a few days, the palace set the day of May 18 as auspicious day. It was less than a month since the Ministry of Rites was so busy that it was not touching the ground.

Zhu Youjian is now in vain, but today the emperor wants Zhu Youjian to enter the palace. First, it depends on how the marriage is prepared, and then Zhu Youjian's fiefdom must be decided to start the construction of the royal palace.

When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Tianqi was working as a carpenter. Seeing that Zhu Youjian arrived, Tianqi put down his tools, washed the handle and said, "No need to be polite. Today, I asked you to come here mainly to see the fiefdom of the vassal state. Tell me, you can go wherever you want."

Zhu Youjian said: "My brother has been in the capital since he was a child. This time he wanted to go to the north to go to the vassal state, so that he would be closer to His Majesty."

Tianqi smiled and said, "This is good. But don't you say that Jiangnan is beautiful? I want you to go to Jiangnan. If you have the chance, I can still visit Jiangnan. It seems that I don't have this blessing."

Zhu Youjian said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, I am afraid he can't take time."

Tianqi said: "Yes, these documents all day long are really annoying. I sometimes envy Emperor Wuzong who was able to tour around. I was so tired of being in this palace all day long! But now I see that the only places presented by the Ministry of Rites in Qi, Henan and Liaodong. King Fu was granted to Henan, but even the Henan treasury was unable to support him. Liaodong has been suffering from war for many years, so I can only grant you the place to Qi."

Speaking of his foundation, Zhu Youjian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family has been indefinitely expensive, and the world has suffered for a long time. I am willing to go to Liaodong to set an example for Your Majesty."

Tianqi did not expect that his younger brother would have this idea. Tianqi said: "But Liaodong is now warring with Jiannu for years. Although Mr. Sun went to Liaodong, it would be difficult to quell the chaos for a while. Why bother yourself?"

Zhu Youjian said: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, let alone a prince. If I only become a prince who absorbs the blood and sweat of the people, I am ashamed of the teachings of the ancestors and Your Majesty. I am willing to go to Liaodong."

This younger brother was so clear about the truth and shared his worries. Tianqi was overjoyed and said, "Okay! The king of Xin understands the truth so well, so I will let the Ministry of Rites draw an order." After trying hard, he finally went to Liaodong. After hearing Tianqi's words, a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
