The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Xue Pan married Lin Daiyu

Chapter 96 The Marriage of Situ Che and Baochai

At the same time that Xue Pan and Daiyu were walking the six ceremonies, preparations for the marriage between Situ Che and Baochai began.

Situ Che and Concubine Cheng discussed how to do the marriage, and Concubine Cheng said: "Since Xue's elder brother was bestowed by the emperor, we can't be compared. We must have the marriage bestowed by the emperor."

Situ Che felt a little helpless for his mother and concubine to compete with the Xue family in everything.

However, the concubine's actions coincided with his wishes, so he didn't say anything, and followed the concubine's wishes.He also wanted to give Baochai a grand wedding, and it would be best to have a marriage bestowed by the emperor.

Moreover, the matter between him and Baochai finally came to fruition. No matter what the reason was, the result was that the concubine mother took a step back. Therefore, on these matters that did not affect the overall situation, Situ Che was unwilling to argue with Concubine Cheng. Hers is.

Concubine Cheng and Situ Che went to the palace together, Concubine Cheng went to the Queen's Palace, and Situ Che went to the emperor.

Concubine Cheng greeted the queen, and the queen called out quickly and gave her a seat.

Concubine Cheng said apologetically: "I misunderstood the girl that Che'er had taken a fancy to earlier, and I didn't think it was a good one. Therefore, I agreed to the matter between Che'er and this girl, and I have troubled the empress before."

After hearing this, the queen felt a little curious, and asked, "Which family's girl can win the favor of your aunt?"

Concubine Cheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it is also from my own family, the younger sister of the champion of the current department, and the future sister-in-law of the Qingning County Lord."

The queen suddenly said: "The girl from the Xue family is naturally good."

Concubine Cheng was talking to the queen here, and Situ Che also went to the emperor and asked for an imperial decree to grant marriage.

The emperor smiled and said: "Your concubine mother agreed? I don't want to be complained by Concubine Cheng in the future!"

Situ Che replied respectfully: "Naturally, the concubine mother agreed, and the younger brother dared to bother the emperor."

The emperor asked: "Which family's girl, let you worry so much, if she is the only one you won't marry?"

There was a smile on Situ Che's face: "It's Zhuangyuanlang's younger sister Xue Shi. To tell you the truth, brother Huang, she may not be the best in the world, but in the hearts of my servants, she is the best."

The emperor smiled and said: "Ms. Xue's family, that is destined. The number one scholar is not bad, and I will use it a lot. In this way, the Xue family and you are also considered a good match."

Since Situ Che had come to ask for a marriage proposal, Concubine Cheng had already agreed, the emperor was not in trouble, and with a swipe of a pen, he wrote a letter of decree for Eunuch Su Sheng to declare.

The Xue family set aside the incense table and received the imperial decree of marriage.

Xue Pan looked at the imperial decree, feeling complicated.Xue Pan was very happy that he was able to marry Daiyu, but Xue Pan was very sad that Baochai was going to marry Situ Che, feeling empty and uncertain.

A woman obeys her father when she is not married, and obeys her husband when she is married.

Xue Pan's father passed away, and Xue Pan was in charge of the family.Baochai is in Xue's family, and she can do whatever she wants, and I can let her be like a man, study, practice martial arts, go out, travel, and do all the things that other daughters seem to be deviant.

But after Baochai married someone and entered the royal family, she would not be in charge of her.By then, will Baochai be as comfortable as she is now?Will Situ Che follow her in everything?What about Concubine Cheng?

Xue Pan knew that Baochai was able to marry Chengjun King, and most people in the world envied and envied her.It is not normal for Baochai to marry someone like himself.But when Baochai was really going to get married, he couldn't stop worrying about her future.

The others couldn't see Xue Pan's anxiety, they only saw that Xue's family climbed to Chengjun Prince's Mansion, and Xue's family became very popular in the capital for a while.The repercussions aroused by this imperial decree of bestowing marriage far surpassed that of Xue Panzhong's number one scholar and the marriage bestowed by Xue Pan and Qingning County Lord.

Concubine Cheng knew that Prince Li's wife was the matchmaker for Xue Pan and Daiyu's marriage, so in order to overwhelm the Xue family, she invited Princess Li to be the matchmaker for Situ Che's marriage.

Although Prince Li is the Zongzheng of the clan's mansion, compared to Prince Cheng, his relationship with the emperor is farther away.Concubine Liqin is over sixty years old, compared to Concubine Cheng, she is only superior in her seniority.Concubine Cheng invited her, and she complied.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Prince Li's Mansion acted as matchmakers for the marriage of Xue's brother and sister, which was also a spectacle in Kyoto for a while.

Situ Che couldn't resist Concubine Cheng, so he could only agree that he didn't want to go against Concubine Cheng in these matters.

Situ Che went to Xue Pan to apologize, but Xue Pan didn't care.

The current family status of the Xue family is incomparable to that of the Chengjun Palace, and the Xue family is a courtier, and the Chengjun Palace is the royal family. If the Xue family really suppresses the Chengjun Palace, it will put the Xue family on the cusp of the storm.It is estimated that on the second day, the censor can bury the emperor's imperial case with the excerpts of Xue's family.

Since Concubine Cheng wants to do this, let her do it.In the eyes of the world, this is the importance that the clan and the Chengjun Palace attach to the daughter of the Xue family and the future Princess of Chengjun.

As for the Xue family being talked about, there is no other way.

Although Xue Pan didn't want to make a high profile, but without these things, what happened to the Xue family in the past year is destined to keep the Xue family from keeping a low profile.For example, he was admitted to the first prize, he and Daiyu were bestowed a marriage by the emperor, and Baochai married the king of Chengjun.Therefore, there are not many two things that the King of Cheng County asked for a marriage decree for Baochai and the Princess Cheng asked the Prince and Princess to be the matchmaker.

Every step of Chengjun Wang's Liuli firmly pressed Xue Pan and Daiyu's head, Xue Pan didn't care, and Daiyu didn't care either.Baochai was very helpless. Although she knew it was inevitable, she was still unhappy to see Concubine Cheng doing this deliberately.

Xue Pan persuaded Baochai, and Baochai went with the flow, but he also felt a little bit less towards Situ Che in his heart.

The wedding date of Situ Che and Baochai was set in March of the next year, and on that day, they were married as scheduled.

Xue Pan sent Baochai to the sedan chair, feeling melancholy.

In the evening, when Xue Pan went back to his room to see Daiyu, Daiyu was sensitive and had already noticed that Xue Pan was not in a good mood and was worried.

Xue Pan hugged Daiyu into his arms, buried his head on Daiyu's neck, and said fiercely, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and Baochai. Mother, you and Baochai are the most important things in my life." people."

Daiyu patted Xue Pan on the back to soothe Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was the number one scholar. According to the usual practice, he directly entered the Imperial Academy. The official position he was awarded was compiled from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy. His main responsibility was to edit the emperor's daily life notes, record the emperor's words and deeds every day, and occasionally give lectures on the history of the emperor. , to help the emperor draw up imperial edicts and so on.

Although the official position is not high, he is a real close minister of the emperor, and he always follows the emperor when he is on duty.

Because Xue Pan often had strange ideas, the emperor did not regard him as a living ornament around him like he used to treat the editors and living roomers of the Imperial Academy, and sometimes asked Xue Pan for his opinions on some state affairs.

After all, Xue Pan knows what will happen in the next 20 years, and the imperial prelude is right, and there is something to be said, and the emperor is more and more fancy.

Ever since he saw Xue Pandian try out strategies and theories, the emperor has become wary of foreign countries. When dealing with foreign countries, he no longer treats them with an attitude of being superior to the upper kingdoms, but calms down his mind.

The emperor temporarily tolerated the friction with Qianxiang Kingdom and other southern border countries.

The emperor is now turning his attention to the vast sea area, starting to build treasure ships, prepare for the construction of naval divisions, and prepare for future sea trips.

The emperor sent people to search for the sea charts and treasure ship blueprints of the boatmen and previous dynasties, and asked the firearms battalion to study more flexible small cannons and how to use small cannons on ships.Let people go outside to get in touch with the Frang machine, inquire about the information of the Flang machine country, and the technology of the Flang machine gun.

Two missionaries were also sent over from Guangzhou, and the emperor arranged for the missionaries, and invited a few concubines from the Imperial Academy to listen to the lectures of these two missionaries, and recorded the contents for the emperor to read every day.The emperor himself occasionally went to listen to the missionaries' lectures, but he always smoothed things over and did not agree to the missionaries' proposal to build a church in Kyoto.

A descendant of the Zheng family presented the blueprints of the treasure ships of Zheng He's voyages to the West in the previous dynasty.The shipbuilder looked at the drawings and said that the treasure ship could be made, but the teak wood for the keel of the treasure ship was relatively rare and not easy to obtain.

The Xue family used to be an imperial merchant, specializing in royal lumber. There are still two hundred-year-old teak logs in the warehouse on the Jiangnan side, which have been stored for many years.After Xue Pan learned of the emperor's difficulties, he dedicated the two teak trees to the emperor, and asked the shipyard to pick them up directly.

The emperor patted Xue Pan on the shoulder and praised: "Xue Qing is really the minister of my humerus."

Although Xue Pan said it was dedicated to the emperor, the emperor would not take advantage of the Xue family in this regard.Xue Pan's wife is the head of Qingning County, the second rank, so there is no need to give her an imperial order.The queen asked the queen to reward Xue Pan's mother, Mrs. Xue, with an imperial order, and according to Xue Pan's rank, she was named a sixth-rank Anren.

The emperor called Wang Ziteng back to Beijing because he wanted to practice sailorship.

Wang Ziteng was a person whom the Supreme Emperor was used to at that time, and he had a deep relationship with the nobles in Beijing. As the envoy of the Jingying, who is in charge of the three major battalions in Kyoto, he holds the lifeblood of Kyoto, so the emperor is naturally worried.

With the prince ascending, the capital is completely in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. Although he ascended the throne and became the emperor, the Supreme Emperor can abolish himself at any time.

When the emperor first came to the throne, taking advantage of the emperor's poor health, he removed Wang Ziteng from the position of Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, and promoted him to be the governor of the nine provinces. He went to the border by order.

Later, the Taishanghuang's body recovered, knowing what the emperor had done, he didn't say anything, and he didn't call Wang Ziteng back.

Now Wang Ziteng has been outside for six or seven years.The Supreme Emperor has already handed over all the power to the Emperor, and the position of the Imperial Envoy of the Beijing Camp has been secured, as are the Emperor's cronies.Therefore, the emperor was not so wary of Wang Ziteng at this time.

Wang Ziteng is excellent as the commander of the military officer, and it is not a problem to be floating outside all the time.Moreover, the emperor now wants to show kindness to the veterans of the Supreme Emperor, so that they can do things for him with peace of mind. Therefore, Wang Ziteng is a good target.

So the emperor issued an imperial decree to let the prince vacate back to Beijing, give him a position as a cabinet scholar, and let him start the preparations for the construction of the navy in advance.
