    News of the new crop¡¯s bumper harvest quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone was shocked by the five-stone, ten-stone, and thirteen-stone yields.

    ??Whether they believed it or not, people began to run to the imperial village where they were experimenting with growing new grains. However, these people were destined to be disappointed, because the new grains were harvested that day and were all put into the warehouse!

    Although we have not seen the appearance of the new grain, this matter came from the mouths of two palace elders, and the palace has made it clear that large-scale planting will be carried out next year, so most people still believe this matter!

    For Zhu Youxiao, the good thing is not only the success of the new grain test, because he is already seventeen this year, so another major event as the emperor has also been grandly put on the agenda. This matter is -  ¡ªWedding!

    Although Zhu Youxiao is the emperor!

    Although Zhu Youxiao is a time traveler!

    Although Zhu Youxiao is unwilling in every possible way!

    But when it comes to Zhu Youxiao's life-long happiness, he is the one who has the least say. Even Fang Congzhe, who has always been obedient, and Yang Lian, who considers himself Zhu Youxiao's eagle dog, are determined to follow Zhu Youxiao on this matter.  The school started to sing the opposite tune!

    Comrade Zhu Youxiao, who had the greatest objection to early marriage, soon discovered that he could not occupy the moral high ground in this matter. After all, there are three unfilial piety and no offspring is the worst!

    So after the struggle was ineffective, Zhu Youxiao could only half-heartedly comply with public opinion and agreed with Fang Congzhe to form a wedding preparatory committee for His Majesty the Emperor Qi Tomorrow, with full authority to handle Comrade Zhu Youxiao's wedding matters!

    At the same time, as an important member of the wedding preparatory committee, Princess Zheng brought a bunch of portraits of beautiful women to Zhu Youxiao every day, which became the greatest pleasure in this old lady's life!

    However, regarding the matter of the concubine, although Zhu Youxiao lost the first team, he had his own ideas about the specific candidate for the concubine!

    In the original history, the queen of the carpenter emperor was named Zhang Yan. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also knowledgeable and courteous. She was a well-received empress in the late Ming Dynasty!

    It¡¯s just that in the original history, the fate of Queen Zhang was very miserable. Her husband was a carpenter emperor, her child was aborted by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and she ended up being widowed as a young man and committing suicide in her later years!

    Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is still very interested in Queen Zhang. It is precisely because of this interest that when Zhang Yan was selected as a show girl, Zhu Youxiao went to the Chuxiu Palace to secretly take a look at Zhang Yan.  What does it look like!

    At first glance, Zhu Youxiao could only say that the ancients did not deceive me. Not only did Queen Zhang have a graceful figure, but she also had a dignified and beautiful appearance. This was in huge contrast to Ning Xi's charming and charming figure!

    The most important thing is that Zhang Yan has an aura that draws Zhu Youxiao close to her. It can be said that Zhang Yan was born to be the queen, so Zhu Youxiao appointed Zhang Yan as the queen and Ning Xi as the noble concubine without any hesitation!

    Regarding Zhu Youxiao¡¯s choice, Fang Congzhe and Zheng Taifei were also relieved, because the incident between Zhu Youxiao and Ning Xi¡¯s little girl had already been known to the whole city, so it was known that Ning Xi¡¯s entry into the palace was certain.

    But if Zhu Youxiao asked Ning Xi to be the queen, this matter would be difficult to handle. After all, the emperor and the queen had a secret meeting before they were married. After all, it would not be so nice to talk about it!

    But Zhu Youxiao chose Zhang Yan as the queen, so Ning Xi entered the palace and became a concubine. Naturally, there will be less gossip. Fang Congzhe and Zheng Taifei both praised Zhu Youxiao for his general knowledge, which made Zhu Youxiao very embarrassed.  !

    But then Fang Congzhe and Princess Zheng discovered that they had praised Zhu Youxiao too early, because according to their ideas, Zhu Youxiao had to choose a queen or two or three concubines for his wedding, but Zhu Youxiao only needed one queen.  If there are too many concubines, I don¡¯t want them anymore!

    The reason why Zhu Youxiao is like this is mainly because Zhang Yan and Ning Xi really have an appetite for him, so they chose them. As for the others, Zhu Youxiao could only say "haha" when he looked at those portraits.

    Therefore, for the sake of his future happy life, Zhu Youxiao decided not to succumb to the "power" of Fang Congzhe and Princess Zheng no matter what!

    So after a fierce struggle, Zhu Youxiao finally defeated Fang Congzhe and Princess Zheng by threatening not to get married, and achieved his wish, only marrying Zhang Yan and Ning Xi!

    After the major events were agreed upon, the decree to ennoble Zhang Yan as queen and Ning Xi as noble concubine went directly to the Zhang family and Ning family. At the same time, they also sent a large number of rewards, including countless gold, silver and jewelry!

    Zhu Youxiao is now rich, so he will not be stingy with the dowry gift for his wife. What is surprising is that the palace rewarded Zhang and Ning very generously, but there was no title given to them!

      Especially for the Zhang family, their daughter became the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. It stands to reason that Zhang Yan¡¯s father, Zhang Guoji, should be made an earl, but Zhu Youxiao only made Zhang Yan the queen in his decree. For Zhang Guoji, his father-in-law  But not a word was mentioned!

    In this regard, Zhu Youxiao made a clear edict to the world: the Ming Dynasty's honorary rewards should only be given to those who have made great contributions to the country, and should not be given just because a woman enters the palace. From now on, in the Ming Dynasty, there will only be royal relatives and no national relatives.

    As soon as this decree came out, everyone felt worthless for the Zhang family and the Ning family. In the past, you could get a title by being in-laws with the royal family, but now you can't get anything, which is really embarrassing!

    But in private, Zhu Youxiao sent a private message to the Zhang and Ning families. In the letter, Zhu Youxiao explained the reasons for doing so and promised that the Zhang and Ning families could take the scientific examination and serve as officials without restrictions!

    In fact, both the Zhang family and the Ning family are scholarly families. If they are really bound by a title and have their children trapped in a prison from now on, they would be a little reluctant!

    For this reason, Ning Xi's father, Ning System, once told Mrs. Ning when Mrs. Zheng summoned Mrs. Ning and Ning Xi to the palace for an audience. If Mrs. Zheng proposed to choose Ning Xi to enter the palace, she must refuse. One of them was afraid that after Ning Xi entered the palace, if  Not being able to become a concubine will not only ruin Ning Xi's life, but will also affect the career of his descendants in the future!

    But it¡¯s okay now. Ning Xi is a noble concubine. Not only does she have a distinguished status, but her emperor¡¯s son-in-law has promised that Ning Xi¡¯s relationship will not affect the career of the descendants of the Ning family. This is definitely a good thing for the Ning system!

    When everything was settled, Zhu Youxiao made another mistake. Originally, the emperor's wedding was all married to the concubine, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on staggering the wedding by one month, marrying the queen first and then the concubine!

    It is not a big deal to stagger the wedding date, but Zhu Youxiao also wants to simplify the wedding ceremony, and turn the wedding ceremony that originally took a whole day directly into the British Duke Zhang Weixian representing the royal family, and then King Fu will preside over the wedding.  A feast for the officials in the Forbidden City!

    Such a ceremony simply made the officials of the Ministry of Rites feel like they were mourning their heirs. Although their Ministry of Rites was one of the six departments, it was a Qingshui yamen. On weekdays, they were responsible for welcoming envoys from vassal countries and organizing royal weddings and funerals.

    Now that North Korea has surrendered to Hou Jin, the last true vassal state of the Ming Dynasty is gone. If the matters of royal weddings and funerals are simplified to this level, then the Ministry of Rites will really become a decoration!

    However, Zhu Youxiao was extremely insistent on this, and the reasons he gave were irresistible!

    Zhu Youxiao's reason was that if his wedding ceremony was held according to the full set of etiquette, it would cost millions of taels of silver. Considering that there were still many people in the Ming Dynasty who did not have enough food to eat or clothes to keep warm, so Zhu Youxiao  Save this money!

    In order to make his statement more tenable, Zhu Youxiao announced that the agricultural tax for the second year of Tianqi will be exempted, and in order to prevent the court from experiencing financial difficulties, the money will be made up by the royal family!

    Zhu Youxiao¡¯s move made it impossible for the Ministry of Rites to say anything. After the decree was announced to the world, hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty shed tears of gratitude!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
