Chapter 216 Consort
The people in the court hall were in an uproar at first, and then there was congratulations. Everyone looked at Li Shanchang enviously.
Entering the imperial court as a chancellor, disciples and former officials all over the world, being crowned king at birth, matching the imperial temple at death, male honoring the princess, and female entering the East Palace, what a pleasure!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has not decreed that anyone should be entitled to the Taimiao, it is only a matter of time before Li Xiang really retires.
Yang Xian's eyes are red. Although he is in the limelight now, he knows that it is too late for him to go to the emperor, and he does not have the right to be a monarch. The rest of the people are similar. I am afraid that only Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are in the entire kingdom Not jealous.
Li Shanchang was crying so hard that he was almost out of breath. Zhu Yuanzhang asked a group of imperial doctors to accompany him back to the mansion. He ordered that Li Shanchang's body must be cured, and he was allowed to recuperate for a month without having to deal with any government affairs.
After retiring from the court, Zhu Yuanzhang achieved his goal but was not in a good mood. He went straight to Kunning Palace, and had a drink with his sister at noon, and he married his daughter on a whim...
When Zhu Biao received the news, he knew that Li Shanchang was indeed going to retire from the stage, and this contemporary Xiao He had also fulfilled his mission, assisting a generation of emperors to achieve great achievements.
Waiting for Li Shanchang to play a few more times, Zhu Yuanzhang will agree to his retirement. This is also a normal process. After all, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, so he has to stay a few times, otherwise the rest of the officials will think about it.
Zhu Biao sighed a few times and then turned his mind to his side again. Tomorrow Zhu Yu and Zhu Di will lead the group of old and weak women and children. It is estimated that tomorrow will have to listen to another day of crying.
At this time, Li Qi just walked in to report to Zhu Biao about the work he was in charge of. This handsome young man who used to be a handsome young man can be said to have no image at all now. His father will be surprised when he sees his disheveled appearance.
However, Li Qi did make Zhu Biao look at him differently. After he receded from his impetuousness, he revealed a brighter essence, but Zhu Biao was still not willing to marry Jing'er to him.
Looking at Li Qi, he felt a little irritable. Li Qi also felt His Royal Highness's malice, and his face was darkened a lot, showing confusion. He did everything in the dark, and tried his best. How could His Highness still be dissatisfied with him.
However, Zhu Biao quickly calmed down, picked up Li Qi's memorial, patted it and said: "I just received the news that the Holy Majesty has given me a marriage."
Li Qi was even more confused. Didn't he receive news last month that his younger sister was conferred the title of concubine of the prince? Why did he do it again?
Li frowned in confusion. To be honest, he didn't want his sister to marry into the East Palace. Of course, it wasn't that His Royal Highness was bad, but the side concubine was just a side concubine after all.
Zhu Biao saw his slightly displeased expression and suddenly felt much more comfortable: "It's for you. The emperor decreed to marry Princess Lin'an to you and canonize you as the captain-in-law. The decree will probably arrive tomorrow."
Li Qi panicked for a moment. He was really unprepared, but after he realized it, he immediately knelt in the direction of the capital to thank Xie En. Zhu Biao looked at his back and smiled.
Li Qi turned around and saluted Zhu Biao again, but his face was a little panicked. For ordinary people, Li Qi is a step up to the sky, and this life is considered stable, but he is the son-in-law of the emperor.
But for Li Qi, the eldest son of the Changsha king, being a son-in-law is really not a good thing. Even if he cannot inherit the position of Changsha king, the court will give him the hereditary title of Duke. The life of wives and four concubines will soon come.
…
Li Qi hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister is just too happy for a while, if there is any dissatisfaction, please learn from your highness."
Li Qi had a forced smile on his face. This is Jun En, so he has no choice. Besides, the Li family is at the most critical moment now, and being able to marry a princess is indeed a good thing for the family.
Zhu Biao waved his hand to let all the servants in the house quit. Zhu Biao naturally knew that it was not easy to be a son-in-law, but since his father gave him a marriage, the Li family had to happily marry the princess back as a sacrifice.
But Jinger is his younger sister after all, and Li Qi has performed well recently, and Li Shanchang even handed over his family fortune to Zhu Biao, so Zhu Biao still hopes that the two of them can live a good life.
Waiting for everyone else to quit, Zhu Biao asked Li Qi to sit down and said, "You and I are considered a family. Jing'er and I have been very close since childhood, so just speak up if you have anything to say."
Li Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't know that Princess Lin'an was actually close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he calmly said, "I don't have other ideas, but I also have the ambition to serve the country. I heard that the son-in-law..."
Only then did Zhu Biao remember that after the Ministry of Rites formulated the prince's courtesy, they also formulated the princess's courtesy. Zhu Biao had read it again. At that time, Zhu Biao thought that the princess should have a better life, but now that I think about it, other things The content is indeed a bit of a headache.
For example, according to the rules, the son-in-law has to greet the princess four times a day, and the son-in-law’s family members also have to greet the princess with royal gifts. When the princess eats, you are not allowed to eat, and you have to go to the side to serve the princess’ meals.
The most important thing is the three principles that Zhu Yuanzhang formulated in order to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics, that is, he cannot be an official, he cannot lead the army, and he cannot take scientific examinations. The son-in-law only needs to serve the princess well for a lifetime...
In addition to the fact that the princess and husband can get along freely on the day of the wedding, the son-in-law needs to apply to the maid in the princess palace in advance if he wants to meet the princess at other times, and can only meet after approval.
As for other details, there is no need to say more, let alone a concubine, there is no concubine, of course, if the princess agrees, no one will say anything.
Zhu Biao frowned and looked at Li Qi. Thinking about it this way is indeed a bit miserable, especially since Li Qi was born noble, he is the son of the prince of Changsha. It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang bestowed the marriage on the Li family and should also give it to Li Shanchang's other sons. Anyway, the effect is the same .
Zhu Biao squinted his eyes and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart. His father wouldn't remember that Li Qi contradicted Zhu Biao when he was young and frivolous...
Li Qi knelt in front of Zhu Biao and said: "I will definitely take good care of the princess, but I really want to work with Your Highness, please give me advice, I will obey His Highness's order in everything."
Zhu Biao raised his hand and patted his forehead and said: "Do your job well, and I will deal with the rest after returning to Beijing. You must not bully the princess in the future, do you understand?"
Li Qi kowtowed quickly, he was also ambitious, and wanted to be like his father, assisting the emperor to rule the world, but he didn't want to spend his whole life serving the princess.
