Wanli Youming

Chapter 89 Selected Empress
"You don't have to bother the poor and small households when you choose a marriage, just choose a good daughter from a famous family such as a student supervisor and a small official family such as a teacher and a thousand households."

"In addition, when the palace needs to be repaired due to a big wedding, remember to install lightning rods like the ones I made for the palaces everywhere, and remember that my Qianqing Palace and the future Queen's Kunning Palace do not need to be repainted with cinnabar, but a little repair and cleaning That's it."

Zhu Yijun gave Zhang Hong instructions shortly after the marriage selection order was issued.

"According to the order!"

Zhang Hong agreed.

Then, Zhu Yijun asked again: "How is the relocation of Wang Gong's factory going?"

"Going back to the emperor, most of the territory of Zhending Mansion has been moved."

Zhang Hong replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this, and said nothing more.

He asked the inner court to relocate Wang Gong's factory, naturally to avoid a big explosion like in history in the future.

As for the choice of concubines, only wealthy and wealthy families with fame or minor official status are naturally chosen to prevent future harem concubines from being too crude, which is not conducive to the harmony of the harem in the future.

After all, the daughters of rich and wealthy families will be taught some rules.

Although Zhu Yijun has only turned sixteen this year, in this era, it is indeed considered the year of marriage that cannot be delayed any longer.

What's more, whether he, the emperor, can get married is of great political significance in this era.

Zhu Yijun did not deliberately postpone the wedding either.

And he just tried to correct the shortcomings of the original concubine selection system in the process of selecting concubines.

It was about July, and the process of choosing a concubine was almost complete.

And it has come, when the queen mother of the two palaces is Zhu Yijun, and the time is to choose three girls who can be concubines.

Empress Dowager Chen said: "This time, we will not only choose three, but try our best to choose [-] of them who are better in appearance, and then Jun'er will make a final appointment, so that Jun'er is not happy and thinks that you, the biological mother, are embarrassing her again."

"But what if Ruo Jun'er indulges in beauty because of this?"

Queen Mother Li asked.

Empress Dowager Chen said: "Jun'er is young and mature, so he won't be fooled by beauty."

"What's more, if the quality and appearance of the middle palace and the noble concubines are not as good as the palace promised, it will easily make the emperor favor the maids, and cause the emperor and empress to be at odds."

"I hope Jun'er won't tire of her queen like the late emperor!"

After hearing what Queen Mother Chen said, Queen Mother Li agreed.

Therefore, the empress dowagers of the two palaces also selected twenty beautiful girls who could be queens for Zhu Yijun, and waited for Zhu Yijun to personally choose the queen, imperial concubine and nine concubines from the twenty girls.

When Zhu Yijun came in front of twenty girls, he was dazzled at first, not knowing who to choose.

But not long after that, among these girls, a girl who made people forget the world, still caught Zhu Yijun's attention.

Zhu Yijun walked over to him, and took Yu Ruyi, which was held by the eunuch, into his hand.

But at this moment, Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting in the palace, couldn't help standing up suddenly when she saw this, trying to stop it.

Empress Dowager Chen held her back: "Not interfering is the best way to intervene! Now you let Jun'er choose a queen you don't like, then the entire harem and even the subjects of the world will bear the price of the emperor's dissatisfaction!"

"But that person is too stunning!"

Empress Dowager Li said.

"Jun'er has already measured it! Why should you worry!"

"I asked, these girls are all from a family of sages who are well-educated and educated. Maybe they know how to persuade the emperor than I did back then!"

Queen Mother Chen said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Li just gave up, looked at the gorgeous girl with resentment, and took Yu Ruyi.

As a result, Zhu Yijun finally determined his queen - Du Weirou.

Not the one in history, Sister Wang Xi, who often vented her anger by killing palace maids with sticks.

History quietly changed at this moment.

This is something destined to change.

Because Zhu Yijun had long asked the inner court to pay attention to the education status of these candidates when selecting candidates.

Unlike in history, because Feng Bao controlled the inner court and only obeyed the Queen Mother Li, he could not make the slightest decision in the selection of his own queen.

Of course, choosing does not mean that you have to have a big wedding and have sex immediately.

The emperor's wedding ceremony is very cumbersome, from the selection to the formal marriage canonization, it takes a long process to go through.

Just the period of the big marriage needs to be chosen by Qin Tianjian, and it cannot be randomly determined.

But in any case, Zhu Yijun began to look forward to his future married life.

He is very satisfied with his empress, and is willing to conclude a good relationship with the empress together.

Of course, Zhu Yijun also knew that his ability to choose a queen he was satisfied with should have something to do with Queen Chen, because he had already hinted that Queen Chen wanted to prevent his biological mother from intervening too much in this matter.

From the fact that he could directly choose a queen from twenty girls, he knew that Queen Mother Chen had successfully prevented his biological mother, Queen Mother Li, from interfering excessively in this matter.

And this also made Zhu Yijun more willing to believe that the next Wanli prosperity really had something to do with him.

He, the emperor, will be the happiest emperor in all ages, and his people will also be the happiest people in all ages.

Because the two are complementary and indispensable.

"When Jiaxing County and Xiushui County in Jiaxing Prefecture were in the Qing Dynasty, the gentry bribed the officials of the Qing Dynasty, concealed [-] mu of land, and did not lose any grain, but let Jiashan County, a neighboring county, spread the compensation!"

"In addition, some wealthy gentry deliberately recommended local ruffians to serve as the book office, and wantonly moved and concealed the number of clear scales. Before the new fish scale atlas was compiled, the old ones were destroyed first, so that the inspecting officials did not have evidence to check the results of the clear scales!"

"In short, there are still various problems in the process of Qingzhang. The local gentry tried their best to block it, and some officials took the initiative to protect the wealthy people."

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is still paying close attention to the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu, and after learning about Qingzhang Tianmu from Zhang Juzheng, he still encountered various obstacles in the process, and said:

"Since the wealthy gentry in Jiaxing are dishonest, scholars from Jiaxing will not be allowed to start their careers for the next nine years, and all those who have been recorded this year will be deprived of their honors! Since Jiaxing's wealthy people have no imperial court in their hearts, then go back and read the sage books for a few more years , and other counties are doing the same!"

"Officials in all counties who actively implement everything will be promoted by the Ministry of Officials, and officials can also serve as officials in the hall. Those who die in the line of duty due to the execution of Qingzhang will posthumously title themselves and their parents, and their wives will be ordered."

"As for those who don't actively cooperate, or even those who violate the law, they will naturally be dealt with strictly. Those who should be exiled should be exiled, and those who should be exiled will be exiled!"

Zhu Yijun was obviously determined to promote Qingzhang's farm affairs, so he mercilessly punished the gentry who did not cooperate with Qingzhang directly in the imperial examination.

Zhang Juzheng even said that he obeyed the order.

Bao Wenjiong, an official from Jiaxing, was quite shocked when he learned that his hometown was banned from taking the exam for nine years because he resisted Qingzhang. He was worried that this would greatly damage the interests of the township party, so he hurriedly begged:

"The villagers are ignorant, and because they owed the emperor's favor, they did the deceitful thing. Please forgive the villagers for their ignorance, and don't abandon the villagers' heart to serve the country, woohoo!"

Zhu Yijun ignored it, and didn't even send it to the cabinet draft, but deliberately taught the local gentry a lesson.

And then, the cases of underreporting the number of Qingzhang or even deliberately destroying the original fish scale map were greatly reduced. No one dared to joke about the political future of their own clan and township.

The matter of Qingzhang Tianmu can still be carried out smoothly throughout the country.

It was only on September 25th of this year, that is, September 25th in the fifth year of Wanli, when Zhu Yijun was preparing for his wedding and was relying heavily on Zhang Ju to carry out the Qingzhang Tianmu project across the country, a bad news from Jiangling reached the capital.

Zhang Juzheng's father died suddenly!
