Two days later, Xu Eryi, mentioned by Wen Zhenmeng, also arrived at the royal palace. Zhu Youjian did not know this person. After talking for a while, Zhu Youjian keenly realized that this person highly praised the navy. According to Xu Eryi, as long as the Ming Dynasty set up a navy army in Liaodong and harassed and attacked from the Later Jin Dynasty, the confidants of Liaodong would be eliminated.

People in the court disdained his statement. From ancient times to the present, there were no naval troops leading the war. What's more, where there was spare money to build a naval army. The money from Liaodong alone had already stretched the empire's finances.

As a later generation, Zhu Youjian naturally knew the importance of a navy. Nowadays, let alone naval armies, even a small boat cannot be built. If a navy army harasses the hinterland of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci would not dare to stay away from his nest for a long time. With such a treasure, Zhu Youjian was even more excited about his trip to Liaodong.

Although Sun Chuanting, Wen Zhenmeng and others wanted to go to Liaodong with Zhu Youjian, the two did not want their relatives to go to the border with him. Therefore, their families were all placed in the capital and had been at home with their family members in the past few days and did not go out again. They just waited for Zhu Youjian to get married.

Huang Zongxi also sent a message to the royal palace that he had already worshipped Liu Zongzhou, a master of his studies, and wanted to continue his studies during the mourning period in the capital.

A month passed by, and May 17th was coming, and the second day was the day of getting married. The prince's mansion cleaned, arranged new houses, and taught the prince's etiquette, and there were crowds of people.

The person involved, Zhu Youjian, was not arrogant or impatient. He became a married woman to go to Liaodong and stay away from the sight of Tianqi Wei Zhongxian. What he cared most about was the days after going to Liaodong. Under the guidance of the eunuch nanny, he practiced the court etiquette over and over again. If something was wrong, he would do it again, and he would have the desire to die.

The eighteenth day of May was still here. That morning, the Ministry of Rites prepared the colorful chariots early to wait at the gate of the royal palace. The band of the Jiaofangsi was also ready at the Meridian Gate because Zhu Youjian's father, Emperor Guangzong, died early, and his elder brother was like his father. Emperor Tianqi personally took the crown to Fengtian Temple to pay homage to his ancestors.

The matters in the palace were ready, and the righteous person who was preparing to go to the Zhou family to collect the official book, and the negative envoy also came out of the palace. Queen Tianqi felt pity for her younger brother and was about to travel far to Liaodong, and the gifts were very generous.

The guard of honor led the way, Zhu Youjian followed closely by a float, and came to the front of the Zhou family with a great music. The person who was the wedding welcomed Zhu Youjian into the middle hall, and the deacon led Zhou Ling into the phoenix sedan. Thinking that he would marry into the royal palace from now on, King Zhao was frivolous, but he was afraid that once he entered the royal palace, he would not be able to see his parents again. Zhou Ling could not bear it at first, but when he got into the sedan chair, he could no longer cry like a pear blossom and rain.

When Zhou Kuiding saw that his daughter got married like this, she felt like she was cutting off a piece of her heart. When she saw her daughter pulling the curtain in the sedan chair, she was full of tears and felt reluctant to leave. But she was not up to her royal marriage, so she could only force her to smile and talk to her neighbors.

After picking up the princess, the group set off for the house. However, it was terrible. One hour from the palace to the Zhou family, from the Zhou family to the palace, it was a dimple. After entering the palace, the ritual officials ordered the two to worship each other, Zhu Youjian bowed twice, Zhou Ling bowed four times, and then took a seat. The female lawsuit holder took the golden cup and asked Zhu Youjian and Zhou Ling to drink wine. After the female officials took the wine to drink wine, Zhu Youjian and Zhou Ling drank with wine. The etiquette was over.

When the bride was sent to the palace of the royal palace, it was already full of moonlight. The banquet came up like a flowing water, and the palace was filled with people for a while.

But at this moment, the sound of a horse team came from the gate of the palace, and a team of Jinwu guards quickly lined up. A familiar old face appeared at the banquet. Wei Zhongxian said: "Prince, sirs, Your Majesty has left the palace and will arrive at the palace in an instant. Everyone is ready to take the bus."

The yard, which was bustling just now, was quiet immediately. King Zhao was very proud of his face, and the emperor came to attend the wedding ceremony. The people who just gave the gifts were so thin that they quietly called the attendants in the mansion and immediately added another one.

While everyone was thinking about it, Tianqi had already entered the yard. Seeing the ministers saluting, Tianqi smiled and said, "You guys don't have to be too polite tonight. I'm also here to come to the night and I want to have fun with everyone. You are so serious and have no intention."

Seeing Zhu Youjian toasting the ministers at a table, Tianqi shouted loudly: "But all the ministers want to let my younger brother go, otherwise the groom will not be able to do it tonight!" Before the words were finished, it attracted a burst of laughter. The noise once again enveloped the royal palace.

Zhu Youjian started counting how many glasses of wine he toasted. However, although the degree of the Royal Wine was not high, the momentum came very quickly. After a while, I became a little confused. With Tianqi, no one dared to go up and drink. He used the excuse to take a break. Zhu Youjian returned to his position and hurriedly took a few bites to cushion.

Tianqi sat at the top and saw Zhu Youjian’s ugly appearance, and said, “You are so tired of getting married today. I think my etiquette was ten times more complicated than yours when I got married. During the days when I got married, I wish I could sleep for ten hours every day.”

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "That emperor brother has done a lot of hard work."
