Chapter 75: General Tao's Arrow Shoots Sirius (8)

The most headache-inducing thing about Chongzhen was nothing more than the capture of the thieves in the east and the west.

According to his perception, as long as he has money, he can support his troops to defend the enemy, and the world is peaceful. Therefore, the fundamental problem of the Ming Dynasty is in terms of money. Now, he has been able to be self-sufficient in his son's palace less than two months after he left the palace, and even had the extra money to train the Beijing camp. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Cixuan knew very well what the key to his achievements was, and it was: the emperor.

As a natural superior, the emperor of the future empire will not be the most critical talents, whether it is to remember everything or to make complete plans. Only by showing the ability to control talents can he be in line with his identity as the crown prince of a country.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang said to his father: "The son's minister can have some achievements, which are the result of one's dedication to the superiors and subordinates. In fact, the son's minister is just a mediocre person. A loyal man is willing to serve his son because of his majesty's authority."

"This is also because you have good control and virtue." Chongzhen said proudly: "My son should know that Emperor Taizong of Tang once said: All the talents in the world are in my hands. This is the words of the Holy Emperor!"

Chongzhen's praise of Emperor Taizong of Tang was obvious to all. Even his calligraphy was copied by Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the imperial pens he wrote now really meant as Emperor Taizong of Tang.

The three or two points that are lacking are the strong spirit.

Chongzhen was good at the hands of the women's temple in the deep palace. How could he understand Emperor Taizong of Tang who had been in war for his whole life?

"My son must keep it in mind and dare not forget it for a moment." Zhu Cilang responded.

"Talented people should not treat them with vulgarity." Chongzhen taught: "If there are indeed talented people, you can give them a sixth or seventh rank official, and then add a separate official to the next level. This is enough grace. I will notify the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow and let them give priority to the choice you have proposed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Father." Zhu Cilang said without any grief or joy.

"Li Yuzhi, the Minister of Personnel, was honest and dedicated to the public. At that time, the late emperor praised him as a 'deserving minister'." A smile appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's face: "He has been in the four dynasties and has been ups and downs in the officialdom. What is rare is that he will not change his original intention. You can be close to him, but you should not call him a name directly, and you should call him a gentleman to show respect."

"My son remember." Zhu Cilang didn't think Chongzhen was talking long-winded. In fact, if the emperor was too lazy to talk long-winded, that would be a problem.

The father and son said late at night in the Lord's Respect Hall that Kunning Palace sent someone to ask the prince if he would enter the palace to pay his respects, which was considered to be a breaking face beyond the time limit. Chongzhen originally wanted to review the memorial again, but he also wanted to share family with his wife and children, so he ordered the king to take the memorial to Kunning Palace. If there were some small matters, he would naturally be able to review the matter.

Zhu Cixuan saw that it was too late and he might not be able to do anything when he returned to his residence. He found a dressing person to borrow the materials to prepare tomorrow, especially information from the Beijing Camp, and then followed Chongzhen to Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhou waited for her son all night and finally waited for her son, and her dissatisfaction with her husband was obviously exposed. Chongzhen had long been accustomed to this, and did not think it was offensive. She smiled like a self-deprecating smile and then passed.

"My son has grown up too. Originally, my father and I meant to hold a wedding for you next year." Empress Zhou held Zhu Cilang's hand and said with joy: "But now you are doing a good job in epidemic prevention and disaster relief. I want to do it better soon. Let's get you married around the end of the year, and you can focus on your sister's big event next year."

"Oh? Whose son was Kunxing chosen?" Zhu Cixuan was not very interested in his marriage. Anyway, it was enough for him to know that it was a Ning girl. Huang Ming never intermarried with noble relatives, so don't expect the Yue family to help.

Speaking of which, it would be good enough for Ning to not do anything bad.

"I haven't chosen yet. I'll let the ceremonial officer go through the New Year and choose a good family son." Queen Zhou said, with a smile on her face: "Where is talking about you! The Ning girl who was selected for you has already asked her name, and Lingtai said it was a big marriage."

"The Literature of the Etiquette" says: "There are six rituals of marriage: Nacai, ask for names, Naji, Nazheng, ask for a date, and welcome them in person."

After the men's family celebrates the ceremony, they ask the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and birth date to tell the good and bad luck. At the same time, they also need to ask the woman's biological mother's surname to distinguish the legitimate and illegitimate. Nowadays, there are many snobbish people, and many other aspects of family background, position, property, appearance, health, etc. When asking for names, the Tian family does not need to be so complicated. As long as you like the bride, your tutoring will be fine.

Moreover, Zhu Cilang didn’t need to send the geese to him personally, so naturally there were officials from the Ministry of Rites to do it. This was also one of the benefits of being reborn in the Tian family.

As for the Lingtai, it is the internal supervisory yamen corresponding to the Imperial Heavenly Prison in the Outer Court, which is also responsible for star-watching and divination, and revising the calendar together with the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Moreover, the name and birth date of the Crown Princess must not be known to the foreign ministers, and they can only be handed over to the middle officials in the Lingtai to divine good and bad luck.

"Oh, okay." Zhu Cilang responded casually, and quickly added: "Thank you, my father, my mother, for your hard work."

"This is a major event in life." Empress Zhou smiled and said, "Speaking of this, your aunt also likes the Ning girl very much. She just took a look and insisted that she was a well-behaved and kind person."

"The emperor's aunt has always had a great vision." Zhu Cixuan flattered the two queens.

However, Zhou Hou still found that his son was indifferent to the wedding and was disappointed. He wanted to say a few more words, but His Majesty the Emperor could not help but yawn. In this situation, she could only say: "My son can go back and rest early."

Zhu Cilang suddenly felt refreshed, stood up and said goodbye to the emperor's father and mother, and started a war of ceremonies and went to Duanzhun Palace.

As soon as the prince left, Zhou Hou felt more and more unhappy. He pulled the emperor's husband and asked, "My son is fifteen, is he not yet in the work of the personnel?"

Chongzhen looked quite embarrassed and said, "Didn't this matter be controlled by the mother of the country?"

Zhou Hou woke up and quickly ordered someone to summon the female officials around the prince to come and ask.

As the seventh-rank official, Yao Tao was following the prince, and should have come to report on his work. He had just finished talking to Aunt Liu before, but he was caught up with him before he went far. The prince was very considerate of this. He waved his hand without saying a word, but just took care of him: "Don't worry about the queen."

"I understand." Yao Tao said proudly.

If Yao Tao's parents' family is like Yao Tao's parents' family, he will return to the palace by chance. It is a happy event in the world after all. The female official who came to chase after Yao Tao called herself a "member", and her attitude became much warmer in an instant, and she was no longer a formal face.

Yao Tao returned to Kunning Palace, greeted the queen, and waited for inquiries.

Zhou Hou was straightforward and asked, "Is there anyone serving the Eastern Palace?"

Yao Tao said without any shyness, "The East Palace has not yet summoned anyone to sleep with her."

Zhou Hou frowned slightly and said, "The East Palace will be married next year, why don't you know how to send someone to serve?" The prince's sex education is never limited to the picture album. There must be a dedicated person to serve him and teach him patiently and meticulously.

Yao Tao said helplessly: "I have also advised Your Highness, but Your Highness is dedicated to the public and does not like women's beauty. He also makes excuses for hurting his body. I don't know what to say anymore."

After hearing that his son was not close to women and was able to preserve his spirit, Zhou Hou was still very happy. She just said a little angrily in her joy: "Even if you are not good at teaching, you must leave your children and fireworks. In this way, Gong Zheng should not forget to send another female official to take charge of daily life in the East Palace."

Liu hurriedly left work and received the order.
