Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

It was Zhou Jiamo who vaguely guessed something that Gong Nai failed to express.

"Xiaoyu, Your Majesty's current achievements in Wenzhiwugong and other aspects have surpassed many emperors in the past thousands of years. You don't have to worry that future generations will find fault with your Majesty's wedding etiquette. Just think about how many emperors in Ming Dynasty, all of them It was the eunuchs of the inner court who drafted among the people, and then selected the queen from among them, but your Majesty, who taught you, chose the first daughter of the British Duke, the first honorable family in the Ming Dynasty, which is not inferior to Chengzu.

What's more, your wedding ceremony is perfect.After the whole ceremony, it will completely surpass Chengzu's marriage of concubines. "

Zhou Jiamo's eyes looked at Gong Nai sincerely as he spoke, and that expression made Gong Nai suspicious.He didn't look away until Gong Nai nodded in agreement.I sighed in my heart, I really don't know how Shenzong was so confused that he chose Zhong Gongnai to be Guangzong's Jingyi teacher.Could it be that Guangzong didn't notice Gong Nai's paranoia and let him be his son's teacher?

Alas, everything needs the best and the most perfect, how is it possible in this world.

Fortunately, after Guangzong ascended the throne, he was not allowed to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials...

Fortunately, the emperor used him as the minister of the Ministry of rites. If he were the minister of the Ministry of officials, he might not be able to choose a useful minister all over the world.

Fortunately, the emperor was not led astray by Gong Nai, otherwise the civil and military officials of the whole court would not have to work.

Zhou Jiamo guessed a part of Gong Nai's mind, and the other part that didn't guess is important.Because Gong Nai felt that his majesty had been wronged, and even worse.

Because in the summer, the Western Dutch suddenly attacked the oyster mirror, the court had to immediately recruit carpenters to build new ships, and the craftsmen also worked overtime to develop new guns.

The R&D and manufacture of new ships and guns all need money.The emergency money reserved by the imperial court was used to rescue the people affected by the earthquake in the three provinces.Although it saved most of the investment in the bottomless pit in Liaodong in previous years, the Ministry of War encountered two counter-rebellions in the southwest one after another, and the Ministry of War had no money left to pay the craftsmen.

In the end, it was His Majesty who spoke, stopping many preparations for the big wedding and misappropriating the money that "marrying a daughter-in-law" was using.It was the money reserved for the big wedding in last year's budget, and it was earmarked for special use, but it was His Majesty's share that was embezzled in the end.

Compared with Chengzu's ceremony of marrying Princess Xu, it was more grand and grand, as it should have been.His majesty is now welcoming the queen.Besides, King Lujian and King Fu did not contribute anything to Sheji, but when they got married, they were no more extravagant than His Majesty.

But Gong Nai knew that he could not say these words.King Lujian and former King Fu are not worthy to be compared with His Majesty.But he just felt that his Majesty was wronged.

Because of the money borrowed from Jiangnan maritime merchants, he only arrived in the capital at the end of September, so there was no time to prepare for many things.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't know Gongnai's psychology of being wronged by him.He just thinks that the undoubted great talent in front of him has the personality of being accompanied by great talents and wanting to be perfect in everything.

Therefore, when Zhou Jiamo persuaded Gong Nai, he also listened very carefully, nodding his head from time to time to cooperate, proving that what the old Shangshu said was very reasonable.

Seeing that the emperor did not raise any objections, Gong Nai relaxed a little, and a little bit believed Zhou Jiamo's advice.Zhou Ruqing, who was accompanying her, saw that Gong Nai was loose, and quickly snatched away Yi Cheng who was tightly clutched in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I will ask the Ministry of Rituals to follow this schedule. The Habayashi Guard and the Supervisor of Rituals have to cooperate with the rehearsal."

Liu Shimin also hurriedly saluted, and followed Zhou Ruqing out of Qianqing Palace.

Amitabha, Gongshangshu has finally decided on the etiquette procedures for the big wedding.Wang An, who was hiding in the corner, followed quickly.He came back from Liaodong specially for the emperor's wedding.

After Gong Nai complained to him about wronging the emperor once, Wang An shut his mouth tightly.He knew that if he agreed with Gong Nai, Gong Nai would probably tell the emperor that he was "wronged" in court.

What did that become? !

Because this is something that cannot be investigated.If you really let Gongnai go to the court to say something, it will be a bad thing.

Although the civil servants and generals of the imperial court knew that the emperor embezzled money from the big wedding for state affairs, they all knew that he had wronged the emperor and the queen.But the emperor also took advantage of the opportunity to take out the gold and silver that he had picked up from Cheng Guogong's mansion, Lu Wang's mansion, Fu Wang's mansion and other royal mansions, and used them openly.

Because after the Westerners' "debt" money arrived in Beijing, the household department still handed over the part that should be used for the emperor's wedding to the inner court.

Is the emperor really subdued?

Perhaps Gong Shangshu alone thought that the emperor was wronged.

Hehe, our family understands things, so our family will not distinguish with the eccentric and confused teacher like the emperor.

Ever since Qin Tianjian set the time for the emperor's wedding, the entire British government has been busy with marrying off their daughters.The Son of Heaven would send Cao Huachun or Fang Zhenghua to the British government every few days. Sometimes it was a few plates of snacks, sometimes it was a few hairpins, and sometimes it was simply a weapon. □□, dagger, etc. without repetition.

When it came time to put on the dowry, the British duchesses were worried.

"Go and invite the Duke back personally."

The British prince hurried back to the inner house, but saw his wife's sad and sullen face.

"Who provoked you again? The good girl you raised is going to be a queen, and there are people who don't open their eyes?"

The British lady put the booklet in her husband's hand.

"Look quickly. These are all things sent by the emperor in the past two years, and your daughter will bring them into the palace. But these are all weapons. How is this listed on the dowry list? How is this sent to the palace? Sigh, I still refuse to listen to what I said, isn’t this a disaster for the family?”

British princes have been avoiding the inner courtyard recently, and will not return to the inner house unless it is absolutely necessary.He was afraid of the differences between his wife and daughter, and every time he was called to arbitrate, it made it difficult for him to make a choice between his wife and daughter.

My daughter is a treasure in my palm, my wife has been with me for more than 30 years, and my three sons and one daughter are all raised well...

"Sigh." This was another difficult time to choose a side. "Don't worry, I'll go and tell my daughter."

"That's right, she's only willing to listen to you now. You should make it clear to her that these things cannot be brought into the palace. If the emperor is willing to give it to her, our mansion has to know how to measure it. Sigh."

The British Duchess felt that this incident made her half gray.

The Duke of England did not try to persuade his daughter, he took the few pages of the weapon booklet and went to the palace to find Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, do you still have these things in the palace?"

Zhu Youxiao took a look and said with a smile: "These are all made by artisan workshops, Zhang Qing wants?"

The British Duke nodded, "Your Majesty sent these to the minister's mansion in the past two years. The queen wants to put them in the dowry and bring them into the palace. Since your majesty said it was made by the craftsman workshop, this share will be given to the grandsons of the minister."

Zhu Youxiao understood the subtext of the British public, so he agreed with a smile.

"Cao Huachun, follow the Duke to tell the queen that there are better ones in the palace. I will leave these for the queen's little nephews to play with."

The British Duke thanked the emperor with a big gift.Wang An hurriedly stepped forward to help the father-in-law up.

Cao Huachun obediently put aside what he was doing and followed to the British government.

After leaving the palace, Cao Huachun said: "My lord, the things sent to your house are all extra refined by His Majesty. Our family understands your intentions, but if it is said that it is made by a craftsman workshop, you will be fine." If you want to keep them all, His Majesty's will will be wasted."

"Oh. Those are all murderous weapons." The British prince sighed. "The Zhang family still has thousands of people. Your majesty is willing to give it away. After the queen enters the palace, he will give as much as he likes. I can't let the one above be brought into the palace. When you see the queen in a while, you know what to do. How to say?"

Seeing Duke Ying's serious face, Cao Huachun had a heartbreak, and hurriedly replied, "I know. Your Majesty said this and left it for the little princes in the Duke's mansion. There are better ones in the palace."

The British prince perfectly solved the problem that his wife kicked over, and went to the inner house to show his merits with a smile.

"Ma'am, take a look. I've advised you several times not to worry. It looks so good? The emperor is willing to give you a weapon, and you can give it as you like when you enter the palace."

The British princess was so angry that she had a headache, "Go to the palace and use the weapon sent by the emperor to cause trouble, and you can settle it? She still has to bring the four servant girls into the palace. I didn't fix it in my life, I owe your father Girl? If you don't teach your daughter how to practice martial arts, where will all the troubles come from?"

The Englishman listened intently to his wife's nagging.He didn't speak until his wife said she was tired and picked up the teacup.

"The daughter-in-law of a big family in Beijing has given birth. I don't know how many mothers and children have died in these years. But look at our Zhang family, whether it is the daughters who were married in the previous generations or the daughters-in-law who were married in the past few generations, there is one who has a hard time giving birth. Yes. The ancestors decided that Zhang’s daughter and daughter-in-law must practice martial arts and be able to run horses for the sake of their granddaughters.

Besides, I have taught His Majesty martial arts for two years, not to mention now, even a year ago, if our daughter and her four maids were to perform together, she would no longer be His Majesty's opponent.Ahem, she brings it into the palace if she likes it.

The daughter is also a child who understands things and will not cause trouble for the family. "

"You also said that she is still a child. After entering the palace, I just wanted to take her back to her mother's house for two nights, but that didn't work."

The British Duke and Duchess began to cry, and the British Duke's head suddenly became dizzy.After all, the wife is just reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace, so she pretends to be him in different ways!

No matter how reluctant the British princess is, the twelfth lunar month is approaching day by day.On the day of her big wedding, Zhang Yan changed into a dark blue dress embroidered with five-color Zhai patterns. She was wrapped in layers of gowns and could not make large movements.She could only move slowly with the support of the inner court lady and maid Lidong.

The drums to welcome the relatives came to the gate of the British government. Thousands of members of the Zhang family immediately knelt in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard according to male and female.

The Minister of Rites, Gong Nai, came to the British government to conduct the canonization ceremony in person.The two welcoming envoys who followed closely behind him and held the red gold festival staff were the ones with the best appearance and etiquette specially selected by Gong Nai from the Jinshi of the Manchu Dynasty.The three of them entered through the main entrance of the British government with solemn expressions. Behind them was the Dragon Pavilion where the queen's gold treasure and gold book were enshrined. government office.

During the kneeling of the Zhang family, Gong Nai read to the British public the document that the emperor married the queen, and then invited the queen's gold book and gold treasures written by Zhu Youxiao from the Dragon Pavilion, and the female officer of the Shangyi Bureau presented them to the British public. The kneeling queen read aloud, and when Zhang Yan took over the golden book and gold treasure, with the help of the female officer, she put on the golden crown decorated with emerald nine dragons and four phoenixes, knelt three times and bowed three times, and the canonization ceremony was completed.

After the canonization ceremony is the welcome ceremony.The female officer of the Shangyi Bureau led the way, and the dowry maid helped the veiled queen to help her into Fengyu.

The welcoming envoys lead the way, and couples of court maids and eunuchs follow Fengyu, followed by the dowry gift from the royal family to the British government, and the queen's dowry. They meander out of the palace and head for the Forbidden City amidst the sound of drums and music. .

The author has something to say: During the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that:
