[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

In various senses, Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty was a very successful person. Apart from being a well-known industry leader, his ability to bear children was also included.

In the era of lack of medical technology and high child mortality rate, Emperor Hongwu gave birth to more than 30 children in a row, and most of them lived to adulthood. There are a lot of talented people, and this alone is enough to make most emperors who have no successors jealous.

But this is also a sweet burden for Emperor Hongwu, and more children means higher parenting costs.

At the age of marriage, no matter whether you marry or marry, it will be a huge expenditure for the Ming royal family, but this is also beneficial, because Emperor Hongwu's children are all grown up together.Nowadays, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Ming Dynasty have prepared a whole set of regulations and preparations for the wedding of the prince or princess.

Simply put, the proficiency has reached the top level.

But the wedding of the emperor's grandson is a little different. In history, there were very few emperors and grandsons. Paper records are almost non-existent.

Therefore, when they got the news that His Royal Highness was about to get married, all the officials in the Ministry of Rituals felt that the first and the second were big. First of all, as the emperor's grandson, His Royal Highness's wedding system must not exceed that of the prince, but as a grandson, His Royal Highness's etiquette system is different. To surpass ordinary princes, it is difficult to grasp the scale - especially when there was a wave of marriages not long ago.

Although there are high and low in terms of status, but the grandson of the emperor is the younger generation, married at the same time, and the ceremony of the nephew is more solemn than that of the uncle. It is not pleasant to say.

If this one is not good, it will offend two groups of people!

And most importantly - not enough time to prepare, Your Majesty! !

These days, the children of ordinary wealthy households have to prepare half a year and a year in advance to get married, let alone the heirs of the emperor, and there was no news before, and everyone was unprepared!

When the officials from the Ministry of Rituals were walking around, His Royal Highness Taisun, who was about to stroll to the Sitianjian, passed by and waved his hand, expressing that everything should be kept simple and there is no need to focus on preparations.

"Grandmother Yuqing is ill and can't bear the fatigue. I am a junior in Yuli, and it is unreasonable for the regulations to surpass my uncles. Moreover, I am not in the mood to hold a big wedding at this time. Everything can be kept simple. The grandfather will be alone. As I said in the past, everyone should get ready first."

The servant of the Ministry of Rituals was a little hesitant when he heard the words, he looked up at the grandson who was about to leave after speaking: "Your Highness, forgive me for being rude, there is one more thing, if you dare to ask if the concubine still has family members, where will the betrothal gifts be sent? "

Mu Bai was silent for a moment, and said with some regret: "After many years, Concubine Taisun no longer has any family members in Daming, you can go to Fu's family for the dowry, and get married from there. I will discuss this matter with Ying Guo later. Discuss it publicly and send someone to notify you after it is confirmed."

"Here." The Minister of Rites respectfully agreed, and perfectly covered the expression on his face by saluting and retreating.

God!Why did the grandson concubine who had no family in Daming get married from Duke Ying's family?This is not relative...

The servant of the Ministry of Rites smelled the fragrance of melons, but his face was as motionless as a mountain. As a wage earner under Emperor Hongwu, controlling his desire to gossip is a very important philosophy of survival. Yan Ya, he managed to get into the Ritual Department, which is the least error-prone and safest, so he has to be patient...be patient...can't bear it anymore! ! !

The servant of the Ministry of Rites, Qiao Mimi, had to ask the old boss in a reserved and tactful tone. After rambling a lot, the main idea was-does Duke Ying have any daughters living among the people?

Yes, he misunderstood, thinking that Concubine Grandson is Fu Youde's illegitimate daughter, the Minister of Rites immediately gave this subordinate two supercilious eyes: "Do you think Ying Guogong is stupid?"

"Ah?" The subordinate was stunned, and he arrived in a daze: "Ying, it should be not stupid, the subordinate has never interacted with him, but since he can lead the army..."

Shangshu immediately became angry at his dantian: "Since he's not stupid, doesn't he know the benefits of having a concubine grandson in his family? Duke Ying doesn't have a Hedong lion in his family, so even if it's too...cough, that one is an illegitimate child. It's totally recognizable."

The Minister of Rites suddenly realized: "That's right, since Ying Guogong did not recognize him, then that is really the daughter of a returnee?"

"It doesn't matter if she's really the daughter of a returnee," Minister of Rites added emphasis: "What's important is that His Highness says she is, so she is."

"This, this is against the system. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are not the family members of sinners, even civilian daughters can be the family members of the emperor. Why use someone else's name! Since you used another name, then the grandson concubine is..." The servant frowned, and just as he was about to get angry, he was knocked on the head by the Minister of Rites: "Shut up, what are you talking about, who told you this, how did you get to be the servant?"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "The predecessor was sent to Yunnan to serve as an army because of poor coordination of the imperial examination..."

... who asked you this.

Three black lines appeared on the head of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he really didn't want to talk to this idiot anymore, but after thinking about it, this kind of stupid subordinate is obviously not a person who can stab a knife. Counting the shortcomings, I looked at the people around me, and then I was a little helpless and whispered to others: "Concubine Tai Sun was born overseas, and she is a survivor of the former Song Dynasty. My founding of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Song Yimin is also from Ming Dynasty."

Seeing his subordinates nodding his head for granted, Shangshu took a deep breath: "The survivors of the former Song Dynasty are from the Ming Dynasty, and the land found by the survivors of the former Song Dynasty is also found by the Ming Dynasty. The survivors of the former Song Dynasty have cultivated the land for a long time. , then it is equivalent to the traces of Ming Dynasty [since ancient times] on that piece of land, understand?"

In other words, it doesn't matter where the concubine is from, as long as her household registration says she is from an overseas land, and she brought back a precious ocean map for Daming, then she is from an overseas land.

With this identity, once Daming's fleet finds a place that is suspected to be overseas, and the place happens to be unoccupied, then no matter what Daming does, it will be justified. contacts.

After all, all the girls in your family are married to the future emperor of my family as daughters-in-law. We are naturally relatives, and with this level of natural intimacy, it will not be very convenient to do anything in the future.

Whether it's buying ore, leasing a port, or purchasing spices and gold, it's easy to talk about, right?

So everyone really doesn't care about the question of whether the concubine is an overseas person or not. This woman can't do anything except find a legitimate reason to propose marriage.

Yes, everyone actually speculates that the identity of this concubine's returnee is that the emperor's grandson who loves him deeply puts money on her.

But at this moment, Si Tianjian, who thought the same way before, was a little skeptical.

Si Tianjian is the Qin Tianjian of the later generations. His main job is to study astronomical phenomena and promulgate calendars. Because the work relationship is always a bit mysterious, he also works part-time as a magician's buddy, and occasionally helps with horoscopes and so on.

But frankly speaking, according to the complicated royal rules, when it comes to letting Si Tianjian get along with the horoscope, the noble girl is basically determined [-]% of the time. At this time, Si Tianjian said that the two of you are incompatible with each other. ?

If it is useful, according to the length of the history of Si Tianjian's existence, it is impossible for those evil concubines who have harmed the country to exist.

The existence of the royal family is the most superstitious and least superstitious in the world. When it is necessary, it is "the will of heaven", and when it is not necessary, it is "I am the emperor, and my words are the will of heaven". Get used to how to say the right thing at the right time.

What's more, everyone in the officialdom now knows that the concubine is the emperor's grandson's favorite person. Before today, the supervisor of Si Tianjian had already prepared the draft.

But at this moment, the supervisor holding the concubine's boudoir name and horoscope couldn't help showing a speechless look in his eyes, ah, how should I put it, the horoscope is exactly as he thought, and it matches the horoscope of His Highness the grandson--this is also a matter of course , with the way His Royal Highness Taisun does things, there will be no mistakes like this, but the name of Concubine Taisun is not a bit...

Wu Jin?No matter how you look at it, this name doesn't look like a normal girl's name. Your highness, grandson, did you take a pseudonym too perfunctorily?

It's not perfunctory!

Sensing the suspicious gaze from the supervisor, Mu Bai couldn't help puffing out his chest. The two of them discussed the little girl's name for a long time, because they refused to give in to each other, and finally decided by drawing lots.Wu Jin is the name the little girl picked out by herself.

The meaning of this name is so good, Wu Jin is not just hardware, it means five metals of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, one name has five metals, what a rich and auspicious name!

After choosing the name, Mu Bai himself felt that the name sounded good, and he was a little annoyed, pity that he was uneducated when he was just "born", otherwise he would have used this name.

It's a pity that the name is a very important constraint for monsters, and it is the earliest recognition of oneself. Generally, it will not be changed under non-important circumstances, otherwise he will quietly change his name!

Because Mu Bai's regret and envy are too sincere, in the end even the little girl has some doubts about her own aesthetics.

Could it be, is this name really nice?Also very meaningful?Is there something wrong with her aesthetics?However, she is a creation of the system. Theoretically speaking, she is of high quality in all aspects. She even has certain attainments in appreciation and aesthetics. This is the initial setting. As long as the tasker does not delete it, it should not change. ah ah!

Pupil Earthquake!

But when this system creature in self-doubt was pinched by Queen Ma and called out her boudoir name, Wu Jin immediately felt the weight of the name.

"Xiao Jin, good girl..." The thin and pale woman raised her hand weakly, and held the girl's slightly rough little hand, which was completely different from ordinary noble girls.

Her face was visibly weak, her temples were already covered with dust and frost, and the hand holding her was still strong and warm, only the fingertips were slightly cool, and the nails were even more gray and decayed. One does not reveal that she is going through a life and death test.

But even so, her pair of black eyes were still bright and firm, not at all dimmed by the shadow of death slowly approaching.

Although her body has become weak due to illness at the moment, her personal will is still very strong-this is natural. I didn't see that even the seemingly omnipotent Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, could only do it in At Fa's wife's insistence, he shrank aside with the imperial doctor, dare not violate it in the slightest.

"Xiao Jin," Empress Ma spoke very slowly. On the one hand, she was not breathing well at the moment, and on the other hand, she knew that the girl in front of her really didn't know Da Ming's Mandarin. She slowed down her speech to take care of this young man who had just learned it. The girl said, "I am Ying'er's grandma, can you call me grandma?"

Wu Jin didn't hesitate, and immediately opened his mouth after understanding what Queen Ma said, and a crisp and foreign-sounding grandma made Queen Ma smile slightly: "Grandma is very happy to see you, and I'm sorry , if it wasn't for grandma, you would have had a grand wedding, no, don't say you don't care, grandma also came from your time, grandma knows how important that day is to a girl, so this apology , grandma said, you have to keep it too."

"No, grandma," the little girl was a little anxious when she heard the words. She opened her mouth, and a few syllables that were very unfamiliar to everyone came out. Obviously, she was in a hurry and couldn't express her emotions in the language she had just learned. She was about to make gestures. She saw her client approaching here, and quickly turned her head to look outside the hall.

The moment she turned her head, Mu Bai was opening the curtain to enter. In order to prevent the cold air from outsiders from invading Empress Ma, Emperor Hongwu ordered several net curtains to be opened between the front hall and the inner room of Kunning Palace. There is a brazier burning in each cubicle, and anyone who walks in will be warm. Walking like this is very effective, but it is time-consuming. Just as Mu Bai walked two steps, he heard the voice from the little girl in the hall. A cry.

He froze for a moment, hurriedly took two steps, and before reaching the innermost room, before he had time to say hello, the little girl grabbed his sleeve and asked him to be an interpreter.

The girl was obviously in a hurry, her speech was extremely fast, coupled with jumping thinking, not to mention outsiders, even Mu Bai couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he smiled, patted the little girl on the head, and then strode to the Beside the bed, under the pressing gaze of his grandfather, he said with a smile: "Grandmother, what did you say to Xiao Jin? Xiao Jin asked me to tell you that as long as you can marry someone you love, you should wear old clothes, Living in a leaky house and eating musty dishes makes me feel very satisfied and happy. The rest of the gold, silver, jewelry, and beaded jewelry are all foreign things and can only be icing on the cake. But not at all.”

Empress Ma was slightly taken aback, her eyes were soft enough to hold her grandson's hand, she smiled and shook her head: "I didn't say anything, don't worry, she is the one you chose, and the imperial grandmother will not bully her." After a pause , she sighed and said: "Oh, it's because I'm a fool, obviously I thought the same as Xiao Jin'er back then."

After saying that, she turned her head slightly, and looked at the man who had been standing aside to make the scenery board.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a bit stunned when he heard the words, as if he had returned to the years when he shared joys and sorrows with his wife when he was not yet prosperous, but then he quickly complained: "Then you don't listen to me! You let your grandson judge , the hospital said that the medicine this time is very effective and can cure you, why don't you take it?"

"My own body knows it," Empress Ma said softly and firmly, "Chong Ba, my life is up, and I have already seen our godsons come to pick me up, so don't bother, it's useless .”

"You, you know it's useless even if you haven't eaten it." Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he ordered someone to close the gate of Kunning Palace, and by the way stared at the place where there was nothing at the door and cursed, "Who made you These brats are here? You old man, I’m not dead yet, can’t you let your mother spend more time with us? It’s already unfilial enough for you guys to go down early and let us send black hair for nothing. Your father is a widower! I, I will beat you with a whip, don’t think I can’t beat you bastards if you are dead!”

"Heavy eight." Empress Ma's soft and firm voice stopped Emperor Hongwu from pulling out his whip. After a while, the emperor slowly turned around. Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been majestic and domineering, seemed a little aggrieved at this moment: "Daughter-in-law, Can we try again, just try again, you see, your granddaughter-in-law is not good at palace affairs, and you say that I am an elder, so it is not good to let the younger generation take care of me."

"Then let Xiaoba and Xiaojiu take care of it." Empress Ma said softly: "Little Jin'er looks smart, and he will definitely be able to get started quickly. Besides, I didn't know anything back then, so I will do more."

Emperor Hong Wu opened his mouth, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Bai: "Ying'er, tell me, is your wife stupid? Is she a slow learner?"

Mu Bai looked at the two elders, took a breath and broke into the battlefield, saying: "Grandmother, grandson brought some medical craftsmen from the southeast this time. I heard that diseases are divided into north and south, and most of the medical craftsmen in the Imperial Hospital are from the north. , why don't you try the Nanpai's medicine, maybe it will be right for you."

Staring at his grandfather's suddenly warm eyes and his grandmother's disapproving gaze, Mu Bai thought for a while and added: "Grandma, grandpa promised his grandson before that no matter how effective the doctor's treatment is, he will not be punished."

Zhu Yuanzhang choked for a moment, and just about to refute, he immediately nodded violently to the gaze of Shangfa's wife: "Yes, that's right, no matter what, we will not convict."

He said the last two words quite gritted his teeth. Seeing that his wife immediately showed suspicious eyes, Emperor Hongwu added: "Not only will I not convict, I, I will also reward them, recruit them into the imperial hospital, pay them, and give them money." Publish the book, return, and..."

He glanced at his eldest grandson, rubbed his itchy palms, gritted his teeth and said, "If they can really cure you, I will order the healers to be craftsmen."

In the second year of Hongwu, the Ming government issued an order that "every army, civilian, doctor, craftsman, and yin and yang households are not allowed to act rashly." That is to say, if one person is a doctor, future generations must be doctors. They live by hand and earn more than ordinary farmers, but they have to bear their own labor and work for the Ming government for free for a few days a month, which is very troublesome.

In fact, since the 16th year of Hongwu, his eldest grandson insisted on using recruitment instead of service, and wanted to abolish the inheritance system of craftsman registration, but Emperor Hongwu rejected it every year due to management needs.

But now, in order to get a wife, Emperor Hongwu plans to let go. He was a little tired and looked forward to his grandson: "If they can really cure your grandmother, I will be the doctor alone. .”

Even though he said so, Emperor Hongwu knew very well that once this hole was opened, it would inevitably mean that many craftsmen would protest, apply, and even change the rules he set 22 years ago. Overthrow, but he also knows that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and he is determined to do so in order to get a wife.

His wife, who accompanied him all the way from poverty, worked hard all day without relaxing, and almost never lived a comfortable life.

Now he can finally hand over the important affairs of the country to the younger generation, and can accompany his wife, but his wife has to go first, how can he be reconciled.

Hong Wudi gritted his teeth and took Empress Ma's hand, "Yinglian, I beg you, try again, even if it's for me, can you try again?"

Empress Ma looked up at him, her gaze was extremely complicated, "Chongba, I really..."

"I know you are tired, and I know you can't carry it anymore, but," Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "If you carry it this time, I will hand over the throne to the crown prince. Go back to Fengyang with you, go to Suzhou, farm and raise cattle together, and then bring the ducks and geese in the Imperial Garden together. When the time comes, which brat makes us angry, we will eat the geese and ducks raised by them. "

"Let's enjoy the flowers in spring, touch the lotus in summer, roast ginkgo in autumn, and burn chestnuts in winter. Your eyesight is bad, so don't weave. Anyway, our clothes are enough to wear. We are not old yet, and we can still climb trees, Yinglian." Ah, I beg you, try again, okay?"

I don't know if it was her husband's begging words, or the imaginary rural beauty was too beautiful, Empress Ma closed her eyes tightly, engraved her husband's hair that was suddenly stained with frost and snow in the past few days, and the last half It was a sigh and half a feeling that he spit out a word.

"it is good."

The author has something to say: I finally thought about it and posted the second half.

In fact, don't look at the many concubines and concubines of Emperor Hongwu, but his confidant is really only Empress Ma.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongwu, his family is very important, but there are only a few people who are the most important, his wife Queen Ma, his son the prince, and grandson Zhu Yunqi. The rest are the children of Emperor Hongwu, not his Zhu Yuanzhang. To some extent It is also very ruthless.

Empress Ma is really amazing. She married Zhu Yuanzhang when she had nothing. At that time, she was the adopted daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang's boss. Silver jewelry can be seen.

For a long time, the old Zhu's family was supported by Empress Ma. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang fought, Empress Ma sold all her dowry in order to appease the soldiers in the rear.

Before she had a baby, she helped Lao Zhu raise his adoptive sons, and after Zhu Yuanzhang gained power, she helped balance internal relations.

How good she was to her adopted son. When Mu Ying heard the news of her death, she coughed up blood because of sadness. Died of serious illness.

In fact, Lao Zhu is also really miserable. His life went from having nothing to having everything, and then he lost everything again. His brother was gone, his nephew was gone, his beloved courtier was gone, his wife, son, adopted son, and adopted son were all gone. It's just that he still lives a long time, and the throne is really a shackle for him in the end, but Zhu Yunqi has not yet stood up at that time.

and so……

Brother Biao, I'm sorry to offend you! !

Actually, I’m actually a Hongwu fan, ahem, I’ve already paid my respects to Prince Yiwen’s tomb in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum before writing this article, Brother Biao will definitely forgive me! !
