Wanli Youming

Chapter 97
On the [-]th day of February in the sixth year of Wanli, the British official Zhang Rong served as the envoy's day, and the academician Zhang Juzheng and others held the imperial treasures and went to the queen's mansion to hold a welcoming ceremony and read out the queen's book.

Prior to this, Du Fang, the queen's father, had been appointed as the commander of Jinyiweidu and the governor of the rear army's governor's mansion, and he was given a house in Beijing.

Therefore, the queen now has her own natal mansion in Beijing.

After the British Duke Zhang Rong and the academician Zhang Juzheng read out the Queen's book, they welcomed the queen into the palace.

Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, took a chariot to Fengxian Hall not long after the queen entered the palace, and waited here for the arrival of his queen, and visited Fengxian Hall with her, and then returned to Qianqing Palace to change clothes and perform the wedding ceremony.

During the whole process, Zhu Yijun couldn't see the appearance of his own queen, but just looked at the figure of a young girl with a phoenix crown and a xiapei, and together with himself, a young emperor wearing a crown and a gown uniform, bowed like a rite under the command of the ceremony officer.

It wasn't until he came to the inner hall and changed into casual clothes that Zhu Yijun had the opportunity to lift his queen's hijab and see the smiling face lit by the red candle.

Zhu Yijun gradually moved closer, and then he smelled that the queen's breathing was getting faster and faster, and the shortness of breath also followed.

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhu Yijun didn't dare to sleep too much, and he didn't want to go to Wushan again with the empress. Firstly, there was still a big gift to be finished, and secondly, he was only a young man, so he should restrain himself to avoid premature aging.

"Get up, I still have to see the queen mothers today!"

Therefore, Zhu Yijun finally spoke the first sentence to the queen.

The queen responded to his first sentence with a shy "Hmm!"

Not long after, Zhu Yijun brought the queen to the Cining Palace and Ciqing Palace to meet the queen mothers of the two palaces.

Because of Wanli's wedding, the queen mothers of the two palaces temporarily moved back to live in the palace, so Zhu Yijun and the new queen did not need to go out of the palace to see the two queen mothers.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were very happy to see that the empress came to see the emperor on time, especially the empress dowager Li breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, and prepared a generous gift for the new empress like empress dowager Chen.

Just because the empress dowagers of the two palaces were rewarded with generous gifts, Zhu Yijun had to wear the crown clothes on the second day, that is, February 21, the sixth year of Wanli. Participate in the thank you ceremony.

Moreover, Zhu Yijun came to the Huangji Hall only after the thanksgiving ceremony was completed, and issued a booklet to the officials to set up the Central Palace to announce to the world.

It was not until the 22nd that Zhu Yijun's wedding was considered successful, and he was accepted by all civil and military officials to go to court to celebrate.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun will pass on a decree at this time, naming Liu as Concubine Zhao and Yang as Concubine Yi.

These are the two noble concubines who need to be sealed besides the queen.

At this point, Zhu Yijun's big wedding was considered complete, but the big ceremony was not completely over yet, and he had to ask the Ministry of Rites to add the honorary title of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces on the fourth day of March, because of the big wedding ceremony:

Among them, the Empress Dowager Chen of Rensheng was added as Empress Dowager Rensheng Yi'an, and the Empress Dowager Li of Cisheng was added as Empress Dowager Cisheng Xuanwen.

Zhu Yijun had to pray to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the state of the country for this after adding the empress dowagers of the two palaces.

At this point, Zhu Yijun has completely gone through the entire wedding ceremony system.

And because of these, it took the emperor Zhu Yijun a month, not to mention, and he was exhausted because of it.

As for government affairs, it seems to be unimportant instead.

In addition, the officials seemed to care more about how the emperor did in this etiquette system, and because he, the emperor, and even the empress of the middle palace also cooperated well, they went up to congratulate him, and directly praised him as the emperor. After the rebirth of Yao and Shun, the queen also gained a good reputation of being virtuous and virtuous.

But Zhu Yijun knew that these were all false, and because he hadn't seen Zhang Zou in the past month, he was even more uncertain.

Even Zhu Yijun was even more worried about whether there would be many new problems in the Qingzhang that was going on across the country, whether there was any clan that was obstructing the Qingzhang, or some gentry was wooing and corrupting Qingzhang officials, which in turn slowed down the speed of the local Qingzhang.

"Wang Zongzai, the governor of Sichuan, was ordered by the Ministry of Households not to lose the original amount lightly. Therefore, Shunqing, Baoning and other prefectures had to shrink their bows and take surplus when they cleared their heads, and inflated the number of acres of land, turning 240 steps per mu into [-] steps per acre. mu."

"Pang Shangpeng, the governor of Fujian, said that many people in Fujian returned their farmland to the sea, but Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian did not dare to disobey the order of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and feared that the land would not be enough, so they inflated the real land by [-]% and [-]% per mu. Undoubtedly, it increased the burden on the people. !"

Zhu Yijun also completed a series of etiquette later stages, and when he had a little leisure time, when he read the chapters, he found that many new problems had appeared in the government.

Especially for Qingzhang, the new Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs obviously wanted to please himself, the emperor and the chief assistant, and he issued a tyrannical order that the Qingzhang should not be less than the original number of acres.

"There's really a problem! This Yin Zhengmao is okay with leading troops to fight, but the household management department is really in a mess. They only want to make the books look good. I don't know that after the Qingzhang in a prefecture and a county, it may not necessarily be an increase in farmland!"

Zhu Yijun threw Zhang Zou on the case as he spoke.

Because Zhang Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, resigned and returned to his hometown, Wang Guoguang, the Minister of the Household Department who was good at managing money, food and civil affairs, was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the new Minister of the Household Department was Yin Zhengmao.

Of course, these were Zhang Juzheng's recommendations, and Zhu Yijun did not refuse.

After all, if he wants to support Zhang Juzheng's reform, it is impossible not to support his proposal on the appointment and dismissal of relevant personnel.

Zhang Juzheng chose Yin Zhengmao as Minister of the Household Department because Yin Zhengmao was decisive and strict in his work, well organized and efficient.

Zhang Juzheng obviously hopes to rely on Yin Zhengmao to accelerate the completion of his career in the whole country.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Juzheng still has the intention of completing the New Deal as soon as possible after the emperor's wedding, and retreating bravely.

Just because Zhu Yijun knew the reason why Zhang Juzheng did this, he didn't stop him, and accepted Zhang Juzheng's arrangement for Yin Zhengmao to be the secretary of the household department.

But obviously, haste makes waste. Yin Zhengmao has outstanding advantages and also has outstanding shortcomings. In order to make the New Deal look good on the surface, he actually asked the local government not to easily let the number of acres after clearing Zhang Zhang be less than the original number of acres.

This unrealistic intervention will undoubtedly lead to bad things.

Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng has already voted to deal with this matter, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs must not interfere with the results of the local clearing of the Zhang, and he also requested that the results of the clearing of the Zhang should not be used to determine whether to be an official.

But because Zhu Yijun has been busy participating in the grand ceremony during this period, the matter of changing the household secretary has been delayed.

After all, the replacement of the Minister of the Household Department still requires the nod of the emperor.

The first assistant can only suggest who to take the role.

In terms of procedure, according to the current rules of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally appointed the court after the decree was postponed.

What's more, as a rule, the new ministers have to meet him as the emperor when they take office.

In short, because the six ministers in name and the big nine ministers such as the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are already ministers directly under the emperor's leadership, their replacement and appointment must be decided by the emperor himself.

It's just that now, due to a big gift, the Secretary of the Household Department was not replaced in time, and no one knows whether there will be new problems for the Household Department.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The ministers are not in charge, but as long as your majesty understands, it won't be so bad, and your majesty should not be impatient because of this, hurting the holy body. Although the concubine is a bride, but for your majesty's sake, I have to speak out boldly. If you speak inappropriately, you will be punished!"

And not long after Zhu Yijun complained, Empress Du Weirou got up from behind Zhu Yijun, walked over gracefully, and bent over to say something.

Zhu Yijun asked someone to take the chapter to Kunning Palace to read.

Because tomorrow he and the queen will have a ceremony to sacrifice to the Taimiao together, they simply sleep together so that they can travel together tomorrow morning.

And because of this, the empress heard Zhu Yijun's gaffe when he was watching Zhang Zou, and the empress had no choice but to persuade him not to be angry.

After Zhu Yijun heard what the queen said, he nodded: "You are not wrong, so of course you should not be punished. Go to bed first, and I will read a few more chapters. Otherwise, I won't be able to ask you many questions tomorrow morning."
