Chapter 662 Marriage
Zhu Biao thought about it carefully, and it was not impossible. Chang Mao was not too young, and unlike Xu Yungong, who had a child relative since he was a child, their father and son had been running around for him in recent years, but they had never been engaged.
The Chang family's heirs are not too many, and Zhu Biao's first brother-in-law is only Chang Mao and Chang Sheng, so it's no wonder that the princess is a little anxious, after all, it's a big deal.
However, the marriage of such a top martial arts family must be bestowed by the emperor, especially when it involves Song Guogong Feng Sheng. Feng Sheng has no son, which makes the two young ladies of the Feng family extraordinarily precious. It can be said that a family with a daughter Hundreds of requests.
Although Feng Sheng has long been reported to the imperial court, and everything after a hundred years will be inherited by his only nephew Feng Cheng, but before his death, he will never ignore his two biological daughters, whether it is dowry or political support.
If my son has such a father-in-law, his official career will be smooth and smooth, but it is a pity that Feng Sheng has a very strict mouth, and he has not let go of it all these years. He insisted on keeping his daughter by his side for a few more years.
Apparently Feng Sheng handed over this question to Lao Zhu. Both Feng Sheng and his elder brother Feng Guoyong, who died young, were the first to follow Lao Zhu from the dragon and tiger ministers. They both once commanded the soldiers and guards. confidant.
Even Lao Zhu didn't want to be harsh, so he never made an engagement with the two young ladies of the Feng family, and it can't be said that they were two. The Duke of Ying, Feng Guoyong, left behind a son and a daughter, who were raised under Feng Sheng's knees. of.
It's just that the prostitute daughter of the Duke of Ying caught the cold, so she didn't come this time. The older two have reached the age of engagement, so it's not easy to delay this matter, at least there must be a charter.
The nobles are marrying each other, which is also a balancing act for the superiors. If they all follow their will, the trend of martial arts will be hard to contain. The daughter of the Feng family must marry into one of the Tian family.
Moreover, it must be Feng Sheng's daughter. No matter how beautiful Duke Ying was in the past, he is gone now. Duke Song is in the prime of life, so it is still too early for Feng Cheng to want to be in charge of the family.
Now that they are about the same age as the young lady of the Feng family, they are already married. Naturally, this is impossible, so the fifth child can only marry the second young lady of the Feng family in the future.
As for whether he is willing or not, it doesn't matter, I believe that the fifth child will not be ignorant, and in this way, it is all right to follow the wishes of his own princess and let Chang Mao marry the young lady of the Feng family. After all, the Chang family is his serious wife. It is also appropriate to win over the Feng family for him.
Now that he has thought of this, Zhu Biao is ready to make a decision. The most suitable daughter of Duke Ying is Mu Ying. The relationship between Mu Ying and Feng Cheng is good. Getting married is also a good talk.
And the identities of the two parties are also very matched, a daughter of a state prince and a young prince, and I think my father will not have any objections, so everyone will be safe.
As for Feng Sheng, he should be more content. The three sons-in-law are all noble, and even Mu Ying will never be limited to one Marquis in the future. Be your own family.
Feng Cheng's proficiency in bow and horse is considered good in the second generation of Wu Xun, but it is only good. It is okay to inherit a prince, but it is definitely impossible to fully accept the military power left by his uncle.
So Zhu Biao is going to let Mu Ying marry Feng Guoyong's prostitute, which is to remind Song Guogong that the Song family can keep some. After all, this is what the two brothers have won by fighting for a lifetime, but it is also necessary to return most of the military power to the court. necessary.
Let Mu Ying become his family's son-in-law, so that everyone is decent, and the military power can be passed smoothly. In the future, the older generation can retire and enjoy their old age. From a psychological point of view, it is always easier to accept it as a son-in-law.
In this way, several top dignitaries in the imperial court have been arranged properly. If it is not a last resort, Zhu Biao still hopes that they will have a good ending, even if it is for the reputation of his father.
While Zhu Biao was thinking, some Guozijian students gathered together. Most of them were past the age of weak crowns.
"Students are waiting to meet His Highness..."
Zhu Biao smiled with his hands behind his back: "There is no need to be polite, it just so happens that I also want to ask you something, so come forward."
Six or seven students were overjoyed for a while. They just wanted to come over to say hello while there were few people around His Highness.
Don't lose your manners in front of the prince. They quickly adjusted their mentality and tried to make themselves a bit more tolerant. They didn't urge Zhu Biao, who was a little flustered, and let them calm down slowly.
Wait for them to stand a few steps closer to listen to the instruction, Zhu Biao pondered for a moment before asking: "The imperial court suddenly stopped the imperial examination, what do you think?"
The few people obviously didn't expect the crown prince's first question to be so sharp, and they obviously didn't dare to answer. The leader responded reluctantly: "Students and others who have shallow talents and virtues dare to talk about state affairs. We only know that there are sage kings in court and ministers in the court. With such a decision, there must be a deep meaning, only when the scene is followed!"
Their attitude is not surprising. The Jiangnan literary world is full of people who have just been killed. Who would dare to talk about state affairs, let alone the imperial examinations, which are determined to be arbitrary.
But Zhu Biao still frowned slightly and reprimanded: "Those who are responsible for state affairs, even if they are not responsible for their duties, they can also talk endlessly! Where have you learned about the sages?"
The faces of several people were so frightened that their faces turned white and their figures were shaking. I am afraid that they will lie down and apologize if the prince reprimands them a few more times.
The students who benefit the most from the suspension of the imperial examinations are their Guozijian students. They originally had to compete with the imperial examination candidates for official positions, but now they only need to compete with their own peers. Although the Guozijian has also expanded its enrollment, it is still better than before.
Scare them first, but Zhu Biao is used to it. The sweet dates behind the stick will be extra sweet and delicious. Otherwise, pure kindness and kindness will not be enough to deter the subordinates, and it will easily make them feel lucky.
Then Zhu Biao asked a few simple knowledge questions, which they are best at. After some answers, he looked at the prince carefully and expectantly. A sense of happiness welling up from the depths arises spontaneously.
Unless the conditions do not allow it, I really wish to dig out everything about myself, as long as I can win His Highness's favor, death is not in vain!
It is not surprising that such an inexplicable extreme and impulsive mentality appears. Everyone has a strong psychology, and the monarchy has expanded this to the extreme. Is there any individual in the world who can be stronger than the emperor?
Although Zhu Biao is not yet the emperor, he is not bad at all. This is the case in the world and in the court.
After learning, Zhu Biao began to test them on basic government affairs. After all, learning is just knowledge, and it is just an assessment before becoming an official. High knowledge does not mean that people can govern the people's livelihood in the state.
It is not that Zhu Biao has never been to the Imperial College at the beginning of his establishment, and he also has a certain understanding of the students of the Imperial College at that time. In fact, they are no different from the students outside.
They keep their ears to the outside world, and only read the books of sages and sages. They open their mouths and shut their mouths to govern the country and the world.
There are even some Jinshi who are over 30 years old and don’t know the grains. They don’t even understand the simplest taxation.
This is why Lao Zhu stopped the imperial examination angrily. In fact, these people are not good enough to do things.
