Zhao Han sat on the main hall and said to the courtiers: "The crown prince is seventeen years old, and the marriage has been discussed for a full year. Since there are endless disputes, I will make a compromise decision today. The crown prince's main concubine and side concubine, Regardless of whether they are born poor or rich, they are only selected from female students in various provinces. The following conditions must be met¡ª¡ª"
"First, dignified appearance and virtuous personality; second, at least a middle school graduate; third, age above fifteen and under twenty; fourth, no marriage contract is required, and those who regret marriage will be severely punished." "
"Ten people are selected from each province, and they will be re-elected by the director of ceremonies. The culture is tested first, and the difficulty is slightly lower than that of the middle school graduation test, so as to prevent local officials from fraudulent selection. Follow the rules for choosing a concubine.""
As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar.
The cabinet officials looked at each other, the emperor didn't say hello in advance, and announced the decision directly at the court meeting, only the foolish would object again.
Families with female middle school graduates will probably rush to sign up when they get the news. There are certainly not a few people who bribe officials and break up engagements, just thinking of putting their daughters in the palace. The threshold of the family will be broken by the matchmaker.
There are also a few officials who understand that the emperor has other intentions. This is to encourage women to study. The prince is married, one main concubine, and two side concubines.
But this time there is only one spot left, because the prince already has two "childhood sweethearts". The woman's family also knows the situation, and has never engaged her daughter, and she is almost dragging her into an old girl.
Qiao Hongdao, the right servant of the household department, was excited and nervous at the moment.
His daughter, Qiao Wuhua, has a deep relationship with the prince. If her daughter becomes the princess, will it affect her career? According to the rules of the previous Ming Dynasty, the emperor or the prince's father-in-law cannot continue to be a civil servant. Usually Reward the position of Jinyiwei, and then make him a marquis or uncle, and become a rich and leisurely nobleman from now on.
Soon someone came out holding a wat board and asked the question Qiao Hongdao wanted to ask.
The first assistant Song Yingxing asked: "Your Majesty, if a minister's daughter is elected as the crown princess, will she be removed from the official position and then given the title of knighthood? If the official position is not removed, will there be foreign relatives interfering in politics?"
Zhao Han had thought about this for a long time, but he never made it public: "The former Ming Dynasty raised millions of useless clans, and the new dynasty of Datong must not repeat the same mistakes. Everyone can make a living by themselves. However, the clan and relatives can only be officials of the third rank at most. In addition, the clans other than the five uniforms of the emperor are not restricted by any rank, even the chief assistant can do it. "
?The chief envoy belongs to the second rank, and the limit to the third rank is set to prevent the relatives of the clan from ruling a province.
As for the clans other than the emperor's fifth service, the orthodoxy of blood is already very low, and it is impossible to rebel through a coup d'etat, so there is no need to limit it. If there is a successful coup d'¨¦tat, it means that the Datong Dynasty is rotten to the bone. It might be better for a capable clan to be emperor.
"Your Majesty is holy!" Song Yingxing returned to the train.
Qiao Hongdao was stunned, he is now the third grade, if his daughter becomes the princess, his official career is basically over. He can continue to climb up, but at most he can climb to the left servant.
Zhao Han said again: "The eldest daughter of the emperor has also reached the age of marriage. Are there any unmarried young talents in the Hanlin\Qintian Academy? The age must be under twenty years old, and graduate students are also welcome."
Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan appeared at the same time.
Qian Qianyi said: "Report to Your Majesty, I will go to find out the situation after I retire from the court."
Xiao Shixuan said: "I have a disciple, eighteen years old, of innocent background, proficient in mathematics, and excellent in character and learning."
Zhao Han said: "I will go hunting in the eastern suburbs in a few days. You can bring all the suitable talents here and let them meet the princess."
When it comes to Emperor Zhao, it is even more interesting to choose a son-in-law. They actually choose directly from the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy. Anyway, scholars from these two academies generally do not become political officials, and it has no impact on their official careers.
A few days later, the emperor took his concubines and children to the Zijin Mountain hunting ground.
Not only the eldest son of the emperor Zhao Kuanghuan/the eldest daughter of the emperor Zhao Furong accompanied him, but also the second daughter of the emperor Zhao Hanjin/the second son of the emperor Zhao Kuangzai.
These princes and princesses are all studying in the Imperial City School, but they don't hire extra teachers like the prince.
To put it bluntly, in case the crown prince dies unexpectedly, other princes can immediately make up for it, which is nothing more than adding relevant Chu (God so Harmony) monarch courses.
Zhao Hanjin is fourteen years old this year. She lifted the curtains of the carriage, poked her head out to look back, and even took out the binoculars. After observing it, she retracted and said: "Sister, I can see clearly. Those young talents are enough Seven came, and twoHe is quite handsome.""
"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Furong blushed.
Zhao Hanjin said: "There is one inside, but it is your future husband-in-law."
Zhao Furong said: "Daddy said, if you don't like any of them, you can choose again." Zhao Hanjin came over and asked in a low voice: "Is there a man you like in school, sister?" ?"
"Nonsense!"Zhao Furong's face turned even redder."I got it right."Zhao Hanjin smiled complacently. , don't talk nonsense! "
There are no crushes, but there are a few who are pleasing to the eye, and they are all good-educated and handsome.
Different from the prestige of the prince in the Imperial City School, those boys dare not play with the princess in order to avoid suspicion. If they get in touch with the princess more, they will even be criticized by the teacher. The usual playmates of the princesses are all girls from the Imperial City School. student.
Everyone first came to the racecourse, which has been closed in advance, and no one else can come in or out.
Zhao Han called Li Zicheng to his side, pointed to a group of fine horses and said, "Chuang Wang, let's see, how do my horses compare with those in Hetao?"
Li Zicheng replied truthfully: "It is much taller than the horses in Hetao."
"It has been bred for more than ten years to have this appearance,"Zhao Han said proudly, "Go and choose a horse for King Chuang, try my BMW and see if it can still be ridden. "
While Li Zicheng was picking a good horse, Fei Rulan was observing the seven talented men.
Zhao Furong, who is about to get married, is Fei Rulan's daughter born in Luling, so it is natural to choose a son-in-law carefully.
"Chen (student) so-and-so, pay homage to the empress!"
Seven young people stepped forward to salute, and Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan took the opportunity to introduce their specific situation. After some understanding, Fei Rulan said: "You young people, go and play."
The princes and princesses, accompanied by the guards, went to play polo with these seven young people. Fei Rumei came over and said, "Which one do you like, sister?"
Pan Qimei said: "The one named Feng Qizhi is very good. He looks handsome and talks well. He is suitable to be a son-in-law."
Fei Rulan asked Liu Rushi: "What does Sister Liu think?" quot; Fei Rulan smiled.
"Then my younger sister will dare to say a few words,"Liu Rushi said,"That Feng Qizhi, with wandering eyes and uncertain temperament, may not be a good match for the princess. But that Tian Yang, although ordinary in appearance, has eyes Firm, and neither humble nor overbearing.""
Fei Rulan took out the detailed information given by the two courts, and read: "Tian Yang, named Angqi, is from Sha County, Fujian. His mother died young, and his father worked for the county government office. The second place in the entrance examination, admission to Jinling University at public expense. Graduated from the university two months ago, and has not yet taken the imperial examination. Now he is a graduate student of Jinling University, and he is attached to Qintian Academy as a scholar. He has good attainments in astronomy, geography, mathematics and physics. During the university , invented I don't understand this, so I don't mind mentioning it.""
"Where is that Feng Qizhi?" Fei Rumei asked.
Fei Rulan said: "Feng Qizhi, courtesy name Pengju, was born in Jiangpu, Jinling. He was born in a prominent family in Jiangpu. He is famous and enrolled in Jinling University at his own expense. He also graduated two months ago and has not yet taken the imperial examination. He is studying at the Imperial Academy. He is good at poetry and painting, good at classics and history, and quite talented in literature. He is Qian Qianyi's disciple." ;
Fei Rumei said: "I think this one is not bad. The family background is good, the person is handsome, and has talent and learning. Put it in the drama, he is a very good husband. As for the wandering eyes, a seventeen-year-old boy with a heart Haven't made up my mind yet, how many can have firm eyes?"
Fei Rulan was noncommittal, and then asked Tian Xiuying: "What does my sister think?"
Tian Xiuying said: "I am more optimistic about that Li Quan. Although he is not as handsome as Feng Qizhi, he is still handsome. What's more rare is that this person has a heroic spirit, and he looks like he can do great things." ."
Fei Rulan glanced at Li Quan's information, and said to Fei Rumei: "This man is still from our hometown in Jiangxi. His father joined the Datong Army in Nanchang County, and he is currently serving as brigade commander in Yunnan. He is a bit old." , was over 20 years old, and had a marriage contract. His fianc¨¦e died of illness three years ago. This man graduated from university two years ago. He gave up the imperial examination and traveled to several provinces, including Luzon and Taiwan. No, no, I'm too active, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay home all day after marriage."amp;quot;
After a game of polo, the princes and princesses come back.
Fei Rulan pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Which one do you prefer?" Zhao Furong blushed and said, "Li Quan is okay."
Hearing this answer, Fei Rulan's face turned dark, even if Tian Yang wasn't selected, that little boy Feng Qizhi would do.
Fei Rulan endured not losing her temper, and asked her daughter, "Why is Li Quan not bad?"
Zhao Furong said: "He is funny, knowledgeable, and has a good personality. "Fei Rulan asked: "Where is Feng Qizhi? " This person is not good, he is oily, and he looks like a libertine at first glance.""
Fei Rulan asked again: "What about Tian Yang?"
Zhao Furong said: "Tian Yang is not good either, he is just like a goose, he doesn't talk much when he is bored."
To put it more intuitively, Li Quan belongs to the kind of sunny boy who has traveled to several provinces, and even went to Luzon alone. This kind of heroic and sunny boy has traveled far and wide, is well-informed, and is humorous and can chat. Where are boudoir girls not attracted?
Fei Rulan remained silent, she wanted to talk to the emperor carefully.nbsp; Fei Rulan pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Which one do you prefer?" Zhao Furong blushed and said, "Li Quan is okay."
