I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 212 Wei Zhongxian's Big Marriage

The front line of the Great Wall in the north and the northwest border have become a pot of porridge.

Mao Yuanyi sat on Dong Zhiyuan, and at the same time resisted the attack of tens of thousands of northern barbarian cavalry, and at the same time freed up his hands, smashed the 5 horses of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi.

Many officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fired their muskets into the sky indiscriminately, and rolled casually into the ravine.

Play dead.

One thing to say, those guys pretended too much, before Hong Chengchou could react, there were less than [-] left in the [-] army.

Immediately afterwards, in Changwu, Fengxiang and other places, after being kited for half a month, another three thousand people dispersed.

In the end, just approaching Qingyang Mansion, thousands of people were scattered by small steel cannons.

Many of those scattered soldiers transformed themselves into civilian husbands under Mao Yuanyi, were registered and sent to Datong Mansion, and became railway workers eating imperial food...

……

The land of the capital, the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

The idiot emperor was holding a few copies of Feige's letter, with a helpless expression on his face.

In the original script, when Hong Chengchou commanded several battles to encircle and suppress the peasant army, he made a lot of achievements, and even gave himself a famous name of "Northwest Hong".

Now, he was beaten by Mao Yuanyi so easily that he couldn't turn over.

Zhu Youjian was a little puzzled. Could it be that because of his own tossing around and prodigal, the so-called national destiny has been changed?

Furthermore, will it affect the fate of some historical figures?

Zhu Youjian naturally doesn't believe this kind of feudal superstition. His initial judgment is that Mao Shatou is too good at fighting and was seriously underestimated in the original script.

"Long live God, this morning, someone strongly opposes the construction of the Northern Railway, what should I do?"

Taking advantage of the "expedition to Goryeo", Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, followed suit and found an excuse for not going to the early court, lying on the dragon bed and waiting for the "prodigal value".

At present, besides Zhang Ruitu, Qian Qianyi and several cabinet scholars who are in charge of the government affairs, Zhongshan Wang Xu Yunzhen and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian are assisting.

"Long Live Lord, why don't you, servants, turn over the old background of those ministers?"

Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously.

"It's useless to look through the old ones!" Zhu Youjian scolded with a smile: "You can't play new tricks? You can't find food if you keep looking through the old ones, investigating, and torture."

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to speak too much, and stood with his hands down.

"One thing, if everyone praises it, it is not necessarily a good thing," Zhu Youjian finally caught an uneducated person, and couldn't help but want to show off:
"Similarly, if everyone opposes something, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Zhongxian, you guys are too uneducated, look at me, you often read books and think about national affairs, don't you seem very educated?"

Wei Zhongxian: "Long Live Lord is naturally literate, three or four times better than Confucius and Mencius Wang Yangming!"

"No, thirty thousand times more powerful!"

Zhu Youjian laughed angrily.

This Wei Zhongxian, ever since his wife Hakka Baba became a 'black widow', he has been frightened into a coward, for fear that one day the idiot emperor will suddenly turn his back on him and chop him into minced meat in minutes.

In addition, the level of flattery has also dropped seriously.

"Don't brag about it, I'm just more wise and open-minded than Yao Shunyu Tang, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, I'll try to keep a low profile in the future." Zhu Youjian said with emotion.

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

"Long live, what about the construction of the Northern Railway?"

"Tomorrow morning, if you say who doesn't want to build the railway, you will lead an army to the northwest to rescue my brother. Suzhou Wei has been besieged for three months, and there are just a few heroes to turn things around!"

Wei Zhongxian nodded again and again, saying yes.

The northwestern border is a mess, and there will be quarrels about big things in the court. Even he, a treacherous minister, can't stand it anymore.

The idiot emperor's idea is not bad.

It is estimated that in the early morning of tomorrow, those jumping and happiest civil servants Qingliu, when they heard that they were going to fight in the northwest, they would be scared out of several bowls of excrement and urine.

"By the way, Zhongxian, the 30 people who built the railway in the northwest, you should make an inventory of them all, set up a special management organization at the Daming Engineering Bureau, and send someone who can spend money to take care of them.

Don't stuff the kind of stuff that keeps a stern face all day long and talks about the country and the country for generations.

What I want is someone who knows how to do things, what I want is officials and ministers! "

Thinking of the bad things going on in the temple, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, felt furious.

I'm just a prodigal, so it's worth getting a little prodigal.

Why is it so difficult!

Those veterans...

Forget it, let the quarrels go, let the quarrels go, or find a way to connect the Northern Line Railway.

"Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, when will you return to Beijing?"

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian remembered something and asked casually.

"I don't know..." Wei Zhongxian said cautiously.

"The two of them are free, hiding on Kuwu Island and giving birth?" Zhu Youjian scolded, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Zhongxian, let's discuss something."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but shuddered, and silently took half a step back.

On the face of the idiot emperor, two big characters were clearly written: Prodigal.

"Zhongxian, your wife Ke Baba ran away with a group of grassland men and gave you a green hat. I get angry when I think about it."

"Well, very angry!"

Zhu Youjian took a sip and continued: "So, after thinking about it, we can't just swallow this breath, can we?"

"In this way, I am the master, and I will give you another marriage."

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

In the head of the idiot emperor, he didn't know what bad things and bad things were trying to figure out all day long. Even a eunuch like him who was thoughtful and slick couldn't keep up with the rhythm of others.

"Zhongxian, you just tell me, what kind of wife do you like?" Zhu Youjian became more and more enthusiastic, took Wei Zhongxian's hand, and asked very affectionately: "Do you like more graceful or unrestrained?

Or, do you still like Kebaba, the eagle eats the chicken? "

Wei Zhongxian blushed, coughed lightly, and said: "Long Live Lord, this servant only wants to serve Long Live Lord, for the wife...

Cough, I no longer have any thoughts about women in the world. "

"How about that!"

Zhu Youjian said seriously: "As the saying goes, men and women are matched, and work is not tiring. Look at you, Wei Zhongxian, you have lost weight recently, and you have more gray hair. I feel a little distressed when I see it.

The wife of the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Zuo Anzhang, is six or eight years old. I think she is a good match for you.

how is it? "

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, and then a sudden look appeared on his face.

"Long live, this plan is very clever, this plan is very clever!"

Zhu Youjian fell silent.

Spiritual people should not mention it in detail, how could such a clever and ingenious eunuch like Wei Zhongxian not understand the mystery?

The wife of the former admiral Zuo Anchang was caught by Zheng Zhilong's pirate ship a few days ago and sent to the capital. Only Wei Zhongxian and others knew about it.

Moreover, the interrogation of the woman was done by Wei Zhongxian himself.

After a set of tricks, the woman not only told everything she knew, but also struggled to make up some things she didn't know.

The popularity of the black widow in Fujian has made the governors and governors of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces terrified. They are afraid that one day, the generals and people under their rule will follow suit and become the second Fujian.

The idiot emperor's meaning is very clear, the person who untied the bell had to tie it.

He, Wei Zhongxian, cannot absolve himself of the scourge in Fujian, so you should find a way to settle it yourself.

"Long Live Lord, the matter of bestowing a marriage...well, this servant will prepare now!"

The eunuch turned around and left without asking Zhu Youjian why he was like this.

Zhu Youjian sighed again, this is the gap between Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen...

……

Three days later, Wei Zhongxian got married.

Zhu Youjian announced:

Amnesty to the world!

This is the second time he has pardoned the world since he took the throne for nearly two years.

Same as the first time, except for some congenital mentally handicapped people, those who colluded with foreigners, resold the secrets of the Ming Dynasty to those who made slaves to the northern barbarians, and some officials who were really greedy and dared to use disaster relief money and food, they were all killed.

The rest, all put away.

For those who are old and frail, give half a bag of fried noodles and two silver coins, let them go back to their hometown to work in farming and provide for the elderly, and ask them to write a guarantee.

Ordinary people, if they rebel for a living meal, it cannot be called a rebellion.

Some young and strong people were all incorporated into the northern line railway construction team to "eat the emperor's food". Such a good labor, it is a pity to send them home, and it is not very good for local security...

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Just like that, nearly 50 civilian workers built the Northern Line Railway.

Wei Zhongxian, who is about to become the bridegroom's official, is about to die of worry.

50 people, people eat horse chews, plus logistical supplies, as well as mining machinery, logging equipment... how much food is needed to settle it.

Also, for the war in the northwest, all the memorials that came up were asking for money, food, people, and guns. Qian Qianyi was helpless, so he could only push it all to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

And, that's not all.

The Liaoxi general was ready to move, and made three memorials a day, forcing the court to give food, money and the latest firearms.

Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, and Wu Xiang's bunch of beasts, in order to force the imperial court to submit, were "destroyed" one after another. Shenyang Zhongwei, Liaodong Dusi, Dingliao Youwei, Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei and other large areas of the country, All fell into the hands of Jiannu.

The tens of thousands of cavalry who built slaves were almost putting their cannon barrels on the gates of Shanhaiguan...

brute!

They are all beasts who want money but not life!

Can Wei Zhongxian know what tricks those Liaoxi generals are playing?Isn't it just raising the bandits' self-respect and forcing the court to increase the "Liao pay"?

The Ming Dynasty was so poor that it was about to eat shit, how could it squeeze out millions of stones of grain to feed the dogs!

There is also Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town, who asked the court for a group of craftsmen, saying that he wanted to find a way to cast a new type of artillery. What if he rebelled?

In addition, there are nearly [-] large-scale farmland water conservancy projects across the country; the railway from the capital to Shanhaiguan;

The railway from Beijing to Datong Prefecture.

Open-pit coal mining, iron ore, copper mining...

Every time he thought of something, the eunuch became flustered.

Too deadly.

The idiot emperor still wants to start a big construction project, what kind of "Northern Line Railway" project, isn't this pushing the Ming Dynasty to a dead end?
The idiot emperor is simply not human!

At the same time, he had to prepare for his 'big wedding'.

This is also a huge matter, and I dare not be sloppy at all, otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, and the "Pingmin Great Cause" of the idiot emperor is ruined, Wei Zhongxian probably will have to go around...

……

Wei Zhongxian's wedding ceremony was extremely grand.

The emperor, empress, and emperor's wife personally attended the celebration.

Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, hid in the Qianqing Palace and worked hard to practice the big characters of "early birth to a precious son", which was made into a large gold-plated plaque and sent to Wei Zhongxian's mansion with blowing and beating.

The entire capital city was decorated with lanterns, festoons and music, and the sky was filled with drums and music, making this capital city, which had been hit hard twice in a row, finally have such a tinge of joy and vitality.

Organized by the Ministry of Rites and presided over by Qian Qianyi.

The presents were all piled up into a hill, Wei Zhongxian looked terrified, but there was nothing he could do, he could only watch helplessly as the idiot emperor lifted him up step by step.

As for when to fall down.

It is estimated that only the idiot emperor himself knows.

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

Zhu Youjian sat in the middle, eating and drinking, chatting and laughing happily, with an extremely handsome face, a carefree and harmless expression, which made some mature and prudent ministers feel deeply:
"Your Majesty walks like a dragon and walks like a tiger, and his spirit is flying high. This is really the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the blessings of all peoples!"

"It's not just the blessings of my Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is so young to have the great reputation of conquering Korea, conquering Taiwan and Penghu, sweeping the nine borders, stabilizing Liaodong, and becoming famous in the universe. It is really a blessing for the world and the blessings of the world!"

……

The words of flattery are endless.

Hearing that Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing, he became even more triumphant.

"Dear dear friends, our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, rich products, and profound cultural heritage. As long as our monarchs and ministers are dedicated and serve the people wholeheartedly, why worry about our Ming Dynasty not being able to rejuvenate!

Come, come, eat and drink.

Go on the music, go on the dance! "

Zhu Youjian was quite gifted in the matter of treating guests to dinner. Holding up the wine glass was an impromptu performance, which made every civil and military minister feel that this idiot emperor was just a idiot with embroidered pillows!
Only a very few people such as Qian Qianyi and Wei Zhongxian felt a little terrified and uneasy in their hearts.

Because, they found that when Zhu Youjian said these words, the expression on Zhu Youjian's face changed subtly, revealing the special weird smile he had before he wasted money.

"Why, the bride hasn't come out yet?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Youjian suddenly asked: "No matter how ugly a widow is, she still wants to see her father-in-law, where is the bride?
Why don't you come out? "

All the ministers: "..."

Did you say that?
What does it mean that no matter how ugly a widow is, she still needs to see her father-in-law?Isn't this shabby nine thousand nine hundred years old?

Only Wei Zhongxian knows.

What the idiot emperor said was actually true.

He married another widow this time...

"Bride please!"

As the master of ceremonies, Qian Qianyi waited for Zhu Youjian to speak before proceeding to the next wave

The two teams of court ladies came out supporting the 'bridal bride'.

The wedding scene was silent, everyone opened their eyes wide, just wanting to see if Wei Zhongxian's second wife is as coquettish as Keshi Baba.

Some ministers even looked at each other with a tacit understanding, silently looking at the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian.

The general meaning is also very clear.

Some people doubt that this "wife" of Wei Zhongxian is the "nanny" of the idiot emperor?
Just like Hakka Baba was the nanny of the late emperor Zhu Youxiao, who from time to time passed into the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. In order not to forget the kindness of the breast milk that day, he sucked it in the middle of the night...

Zhu Youjian is well aware of this.

However, instead of being angry, he found it quite interesting.

"Zhongxian, lift the bride's skull and let everyone take a closer look."
