The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

In December of the second year of Xuande, the emperor decreed that Zhou Yi's daughter, the commander of Xicheng soldiers and horses, should be concubine Jing, the sixth younger brother of the emperor.

Even the sixth child was married, and the third child chose a concubine and Jiaxing a son-in-law, but still failed to find a husband.

In ancient times, as in modern times, the marriage age of girls was extremely tight.The marriage in Jiaxing could not be settled for a long time, and even the queen mother who was fighting with us sent a message to put pressure on me.

Before I said anything, Heidan turned back for me, saying that if the queen mother is dissatisfied, then she will ask the queen mother to come out and decide the candidate herself.

"Hey, why do you have to stand out? It is said that the foreign court officials are afraid that you will say that you are not filial. The Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Where is your prestige? If the Queen Mother wants to vent her anger, let her vent her anger. Anyway, I can't actually do anything to me. ."I said.

"According to the ancestral system, with the Empress Dowager here, she should have made the decision. How can I be unfilial if I speak according to the ancestral system?" Heidan coaxed me: "If I let this sentence out, she can't do anything to you, right? Then she can’t do anything to you anyway, why not choose one that makes you comfortable.” It was an unpleasant thing at first, but he just made me laugh.

The Empress Dowager swallowed Heidan's words abruptly, and did not show up in the marriage again.Probably she also knows how difficult it is to get married in Jiaxing.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, if one man in a family is selected as a son-in-law, other men with close relatives cannot be admitted to the imperial examination.Therefore, a good man is not willing to be a son-in-law easily, for fear of delaying the future of the family's aspiring man.

Jiaxing has seen a gentleman with both talents and looks like Mu Yan, how can he easily give himself up to a mediocre man?Therefore, no suitable person can be selected for a long time.

This matter has been tossing me for nearly a year, and finally one day I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

So he picked up the black eggs and had a big banquet for all the ministers on the winter solstice, so that every family would bring their children.

At that time, all the people who will attend the banquet will be high-ranking officials, except for relatives.

Even if one of the Xun's relatives is a son-in-law, the others cannot take the imperial examination, but they have the title of the ancestors, so they don't have to worry about not having a salary.

High-ranking officials, with good genes, have a high probability of having a good son.Moreover, the head of the family has fame and fame, so even if other children can't take the imperial examination, they can still ask for a seal.Why not be able to climb the high branches of the royal family?

Since folk men are unwilling to be selected for the sake of the future of the family children, this road is blocked, so why don't we change the road?

Although the rule is to choose a son-in-law from the people, it does not say that the princess is forbidden to marry the son of a relative or a high-ranking official.

"I know that the first emperor established the rule of selecting sons-in-law from the people because he was worried that those families of heroes who married into the royal family would take advantage of the power of the heavenly family to bully others. This time we only made this special case for Jiaxing, and the sons-in-law of other princesses also chose from the people. ,how?"

Heidan was overjoyed when he heard that: "Okay, it will be perfect in this way."

On the day of the winter solstice, I was being dressed up by the palace people, and the people sent to invite the Queen Mother came back to deliver a message.

We thought that the Queen Mother would not be present as usual, but we did not expect that the Queen Mother would show her face this time.

Not only did he come to visit, but he brought Hu Shi with him without saying hello.

Heidan and I went to Fengtian Temple, and when we saw Mrs. Hu, our faces turned black.

Everyone took their seats and prepared to salute and sit down.I turned my head and secretly pointed at Heitan and gestured at the corner of his mouth with my finger, motioning him to smile.After all, it was a festive day, and the ministers were all watching.

Heitan reluctantly moved the corners of his lips for me, but before he could crack a smile, the queen mother ordered Hu's seat to be moved above me.

The Hu family has been abolished, and she is still ranked above me. This is slapping Heidan and me in the face in front of the officials.

The Queen Mother is indeed still the Queen Mother. She endured the words of Heidan at the beginning, but now she gives us a big embarrassment with a backhand blow.

Mrs. Hu didn't dare to offend us, and she didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother in public. She was in a dilemma and couldn't move.

For a while, all the officials and family members were silent.

At this moment, Heidan lowered his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled.He waited for the Empress Dowager to take her seat, but instead of sitting down, she left the seat and walked to me, extending her hand to me.

He looked at me firmly and gently, and smiled as warmly as the sun in the cold winter months.

I was dazed and hesitant for a moment, but without waiting for me to get tangled up, he took my hand and pulled me to his throne: "The queen sits with me."
