Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

If there is no accident, the crown prince Zheng Chengji ascended the throne smoothly. Zheng Chengyun, as the prince's close brother, is young, so he can be a worthy king no matter what, and he can also take Chen Taipin out of the palace to serve him. No worries about food and clothing.

At that time, neither Concubine Chen nor the eighth prince who was growing up had any other thoughts, but only wanted to hug the prince's golden thigh and spend his life safely.

However, who would have known that the princes ordered by their father would seize the throne, and the situation would get out of control after the fight, even the emperor himself could not control it?In the end, after the crown prince was abolished, he committed suicide in depression, and the other elder brothers also died, crippled, and fell out of favor. Zheng Chengyun was the last to know that Zheng Chengren, the fifth brother who usually only followed the crown prince, also had great ambitions. What about killing the prince?
In the end, there was only Zheng Chengyun, the eighth prince who usually had no sense of presence, with all beards and tails. The emperor whose physical condition was deteriorating was established as the prince. After he died soon, Zheng Chengyun succeeded him as the new emperor.

In a sense, Zheng Chengyun, as his name suggests, has inherited the fate of the sky, but it is said that he picked up a throne for nothing. If Zheng Chengyun has no ideas in his heart, it is definitely impossible, but he has a big heart in his heart. After taking the throne with the mood of displaying his ambition, Zheng Chengyun felt what it means to be in a difficult state.

He hadn't tasted the taste of power yet, but he was almost overwhelmed by the bloody reality of his elder brothers eyeing the throne, the ambiguous positions of the ministers in the court and China, and his own lack of ability to contribute to affairs.

It's not that Zheng Chengyun is not smart, it's just that Zheng Chengyun has never received an emperor's education before. Whether it is himself or others, he has always prepared for the goal of being a leisurely prince. He was seriously ill at the time, and he didn't teach him much, so in fact, no matter how hard Zheng Chengyun studied hard, his own ability improvement was still very limited.

Therefore, after Zheng Chengyun succeeded to the throne, whether it was dealing with government affairs, balancing the internal and external relations of the court, or selecting and employing personnel, Zheng Chengyun often felt powerless because of his unfamiliar business.

His performance, to be honest, is really not enough to convince the public, so the original brothers' ambition to be defeated by the former emperor began to stir up again. Except for a few staunch royalists, most officials in the court have a kind of foolishness. If the higher-ups cannot subdue them in time, there will be another big turmoil in the court.

But in reality, although Zheng Chengyun didn't want to admit it, he also knew very well in his heart that according to his current ability, it was impossible to evaluate the disturbance in a short period of time, so he had to find a way to use external force.

And the most trouble-free and quickest method, is there a better choice than marriage?At this time, Zheng Chengyun didn't know whether he should be lucky or not. Although he was already 21 years old, he was already an old leftover man, but because the situation in the court was unclear in the past few years, and he was not taken seriously, no one thought of doing it for him. Refers to marriage.

If you want to use external force, the most trouble-free and quickest method, is there a better choice than marriage?At this time, Zheng Chengyun didn't know whether he should be lucky or not. Although he was 21 years old, but because the situation in the court was unclear in the past few years and he was not taken seriously, no one thought of marrying him.

Zheng Chengyun has always felt that he is not a lustful person. He has not had a regular wife for so many years, and he has not taken concubines at all. He just got a few maids when necessary, and he still doesn't even have a title. According to the current people's point of view From the looks of it, this is considered very self-cleaning.

After Zheng Chengyun succeeded to the throne, he was grateful for the worry-free relationship between men and women in the past years, because there was no one in the harem, and many people in the previous dynasty had some ideas about this. It was a good way to win over all forces. From Si Xiu's point of view, this method was suspected of prostitution, but Zheng Chengyun didn't feel it at all.

Throughout the ages, which emperor didn't have a harem like a cloud?Could it be that they are all greedy for beauty?The more reason is to use the harem to contain the former court, so that I can better control the situation. Even the most talented hero in history, isn't it the same operation?
It’s just the same thing, because different personal abilities have different effects. Those with outstanding abilities can calmly maintain a balance in this complex internal and external relationship. of.

But now Zheng Chengyun doesn't need to think so much. A novice who has not even figured out the basic situation of the court, facing such a problem is like a primary school student taking the college entrance examination. He just thinks that this method can ease the current situation. , so just do it.

Zheng Chengyun's move to enrich the harem undoubtedly won the approval of the vast majority of courtiers, and then the most critical issue arose, that is, the ownership of the harem.

Regarding this question, Zheng Chengyun also had a very fierce struggle in his heart. Qingliu, Xungui or the army is a very serious question. In the end, Zheng Chengyun chose the Palace of the Protector.

The choice of the Protector's Mansion is because of the excellent performance of the Protector's Mansion in the past. Whether it is the royal family or the courtiers, they all recognize them as the most steadfast royalist party. No one can question their loyalty. "This title gives the children of the Li family in the Duke Protector's Mansion an extraordinary prestige in the army.

Although Zheng Chengyun has never heard the phrase "government grows out of the barrel of a gun", he can also feel that only when he has an army, soldiers, and force in his hands, can he have confidence no matter what he does. Although he is gradually emphasizing civility over military However, the influence of Qingliu's power should not be underestimated, but there is another saying, "Scholars rebelled, and it will take three years to fail." When literati control it, it will be easier.

Zheng Chengyun also inquired clearly beforehand that there is only one girl in the generation of the Huguogongfu, who is spoiled by everyone from top to bottom. Support yourself and make your throne more stable.

But although Zheng Chengyun had a good idea, but the old and the young in the Huguogong's mansion didn't accept the offer. Representing the prosperity and wealth, what the Li family valued more was the mess that a queen should deal with.

The Li family has protected their daughter and sister more tightly than their own eyeballs for many years, and has never been reluctant to restrain her with the rules of the world for women. Li Yuanying, the eldest lady of the Li family, has not learned those three obediences and four virtues, smearing makeup, but does not like red makeup and arms , is uniquely talented in martial arts, and those who are usually pampered are straightforward and straightforward. Although this style does not conform to today's mainstream aesthetics, the Li family has always had confidence. , they can still choose a good-looking, civil and military-sounding, clean-spirited husband for Li Yuanying. They are also confident that they will be a good backer for Li Yuanying, so that Li Yuanying's husband will be the same from now on.

As for the family status, the Li family doesn't really care about it. The Duke Huguo's mansion is originally a wealthy family with a long history. If you want to talk about "marry high and marry low", the man's family is worse, and the daughter's family can be more relaxed.
