Chapter 438 It turns out that the clown is me
Three days later, it was the wedding of Zhu Zaijing and Qi Muge again.
On this day, Prince Yu's palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations again, and the posture and size were only a step lower than those at Zhu Zaijing's first wedding.
As the prince who supervises the country, Zhu Zaijing is of high status and naturally does not need to go to welcome the bride in person. Instead, Emperor Jiajing appoints a marquis and a minister of rites as the emissaries to welcome the bride, with Hao Hao The grand wedding party went to Qimuge to welcome the newlyweds to the palace.
As Qi Muge’s messenger, of course he cannot be absent at this important moment.
Zamusu dressed up in Tatar aristocratic costumes and stood in front of Qimuge's new house, blocking the messenger in accordance with their Tatar etiquette.
But this kind of rule has been negotiated before. Just go through the motions. It will never be like some disgraceful garbage men in later generations who cheat people by raising prices.
So this level passed easily.
Zhamusu sneered proudly in his heart as he looked at the Ming Dynasty's formal and lively weddings. He was quite capable of Qimuge's martial arts, and he also knew that the princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty were pampered.
After all the ceremonies are completed, Qi Muge will not beat your prince in the bridal chamber until his nose is black and his face is swollen and he is looking for teeth!
With such a mood, Zamusu also rode a tall horse and escorted Qimuge's wedding sedan arrogantly, and followed the wedding to Prince Yu's palace.
Zhu Zaijing was still wearing wedding clothes according to etiquette at this time. Meng Chong and the serving maids meticulously helped Zhu Zaijing organize all the details of the wedding clothes.
After all these details were settled, Zhu Zaijing also moved his body and asked Meng Chong: "Where are the princesses and the others?"
Meng Chong replied: "Where is the princess? Bian is also ready."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "Let Qi Muge serve tea to the princess tomorrow and ask the princess to prepare a big red envelope. We can't let these grassland people think that we are stingy. ”
Meng Chong followed with a smile and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the servants are all ready."
Zhu Zaijing also laughed when he heard this, and he asked again: "What are you preparing for Qi Muge?" How is the situation in the courtyard? As a Tatar living in this palace, she will definitely not be at ease. Once the ceremonies before and after the wedding are over, I will arrange for her to move to another courtyard to live alone, so as not to affect the unity and harmony in the palace. . ”
Meng Chong said: “According to the prince’s instructions, I have prepared a separate courtyard in the north of the city. The environment there is beautiful, there are not many people, and there is a large grassland where the queen can stay. Continue to enjoy her freedom and life on the grassland freely. But."
"But what?"
Zhu Zaijing saw Meng Chong hesitate and couldn't help but ask.
Meng Chong said: "But she is also your prince's concubine after all. As soon as the wedding is over, will you send her to a separate courtyard in the north of the city? Will it be considered a bit unkind?"
Zhu Zaijing said nonchalantly: "She is married to me, so she is my woman. I can do with her whatever I want. Moreover, I will not treat her poorly even if she is arranged in a separate courtyard in the north of the city." , still allows her to enjoy the honor and status of Prince Yu's concubine, and also gives her the freedom that other concubines do not have. How can this be unkind? I think this is very unkind. "
After Zhu Zaijing said these words, he glanced at the leaky clock next to him. To be honest, this kind of clock is really good as a furniture ornament, but it is really uncomfortable to use it to tell the time. people.
Zhu Zaijing asked again: "How are the Thai and Western craftsmen you asked to find? Are there any who can make clocks?"
Meng Chong quickly replied: "I am already looking for you. Yes, I heard that there is a place called Macao in Guangdong. There are several red-haired barbarians from somewhere who know some strange and skillful European and Western crafts, but I don’t know if they can make the clocks that the prince mentioned.”
When Zhu Zaijing heard about Macau, he immediately had an impression. It seemed that this place was the earliest stronghold used by the Ming Dynasty to manage Westerners. However, their power was small, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty never regarded foreigners as foreigners. Something happened.
So the establishment of this place was the initiative of a local county magistrate. He directly asked people to allocate a piece of land on the seaside so that these red-haired Yi people could rest on the shore and facilitate government monitoring. Management base.
Therefore, the earliest Macau was not the kind of colony that later generations deliberately distorted the facts in order to stir up national sentiments. At most, it was a micro-district modeled on the Tang and Song Dynasties to govern the Hu people.
The Ban people living there can manage their own internal problems by themselves, but if their problems involve the Han people, the government will not hesitate to take action. Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, the management of Macau was quite good, and there was no such thing as the humiliating bowing and concessions of the late Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Zaijing pondered for a moment, "Send people to check the situation in Macau carefully, and recruit all those skilled Thai and Western craftsmen who can be recruited. I also want to see what's going on in Macau." What kind of culture and skills have the people from the outside world produced that are different from our Ming Dynasty?”
After giving these instructions to Meng Chong, Zhu Zaijing looked at the time and it was almost time. He finally came out of his room and went to the front hall to prepare to welcome the newcomers.
At this time, all the guests had arrived. They were all standing in the open space in the front hall of the palace, preparing to watch the wedding between Zhu Zaijing and Princess Qimuge.
Yan Song was too old and did not come. His good son Yan Shifan took his place and stood with Xu Jie, Lu Ben, Li Chunfang and others.
Yan Shifan whispered to Xu Jie on the side: "Old Xu, do you think His Majesty has any other ideas? How do you get Prince Yu to marry a Tatar girl from the grassland? Is there something else going on here? "
When Xu Jie heard Yan Shifan's question, he smiled and replied: "Donglou, what can we do? If the Tatars want to get married, we definitely can't give away a princess. In the past, they could only ask them to send one princess over. At that time, Prince Jing had not yet married, and His Majesty would definitely not be willing to let a foreign daughter become the prince's concubine, so only Prince Yu was the most suitable. .”
Yan Shifan listened to Xu Jie's words and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This old guy is really getting more and more slippery in his speech now, and he doesn't miss a beat.
But Yan Shifan insisted that there must be something wrong with Zhu Zaijing being arranged by Emperor Jiajing to marry a foreign daughter.
So Yan Shifan was very excited at this time. At the same time, he was still imagining that if King Jing also had an heir, it would be perfect. Then he would think of a way to clear Luo Longwen's name and get him back. Let him continue to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to get closer, and the future victory or defeat will be unknown!
Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others also stood aside silently and looked at the festive Prince Yu's Mansion, and several of them said nothing.
Although in their vague concept, the Ming Dynasty should indeed have a truce with the grassland to gain time to recuperate, but the current situation is after the battle in the 29th autumn of Jiajing.
The situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars changed. More than half of the main Tatar forces were wiped out by Marshal Zhu near the outskirts of Beijing, making them unable to think of going south again.
In addition, the "Ming Dynasty Industrial Cycle Market" strategy implemented by the imperial court in recent years has gradually brought ordinary tribal herdsmen on the grassland into a symbiotic and win-win environment.
So now it is really elusive for King Yu to marry a Tatar princess.
Therefore, the mentality of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng is also somewhat confusing and cannot be directly understood.
Of course, if Zhu Zaijing had revealed to them the Tatar intention to advance westward, they might have understood instantly.
And this is the sense of chaos caused by the information gap. It is not a barrier of vision that IQ and vision can directly break through.
“The newlyweds have arrived!”
As the etiquette officer in front of the palace sang, everyone in the palace could not help but turn their attention to the wedding ceremony guard in front of the palace.
Since this was a concubine, even when Qi Muge's wedding sedan arrived in front of the gate of the palace, Zhu Zaijing did not move a step. He just stood waiting calmly, without saying a word. Go to the front door to greet the newlyweds as they disembark.
But even so, the court still gave Qi Muge very high treatment. For example, the main entrance of the palace was wide open, allowing Qi Muge to step into Prince Yu's palace from the main entrance like a royal concubine. . Therefore, it cannot be said that this wedding has much reduction in scale. In fact, the scale of this wedding is not much different from the wedding in Prince Jing's Mansion a few days ago.
As a relative of Qi Muge, Zamusu followed Qi Muge when he got off the sedan chair, and accompanied Qi Muge into Prince Yu's Mansion.
Looking at the festive red decorations everywhere, Zamusu couldn’t help but feel envious in his heart, because although they also had settled cities on the grassland, even the palace of his father Amada Khan was There has never been such luxury.
The Ming Dynasty was only a prince, and he was already so extravagant even before he was an emperor. While it was really enviable, I couldn't help but think of going back to the time seven or eight years ago and trying to steal it all over again.
Zhu Zaijing stood on the red carpet in the front hall and looked at Qi Muge who was escorted by Zamusu. His eyes also slightly looked at the figure of the prairie princess. She seemed to be pretty good. , not as big and thick as imagined.
But even so, Zhu Zaijing could see Qi Muge's "tallness". He was at least 1.7 meters tall, which was taller than the princesses and concubines in his back house. It was indeed in line with the tall people in the north who often eat meat. impression.
However, even a tall man of 1.7 meters is still a little short in front of Zhu Zaijing.
After years of training in "Xiantian Kung", Zhu Zaijing is now about 1.86 to 1.88 meters tall, and he can be considered a tall man with a tall and straight posture.
You must know that in the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, many nobles were corrupted by a hundred or two hundred years of luxurious life, and they grew up pampered and supported, so whether they were from the royal family or ordinary people, The offspring of honorable families are generally frail and frightening, and few of them stand out in stature.
Take the Ming Dingling Mausoleum excavated by later generations as an example. The height of Emperor Wanli, whose coffin was opened for archeology, was measured by modern people and was only a little over 1.7 meters tall.
It can be seen from this that the physical fitness of the descendants of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, after one or two hundred years of pampering, is not as good as the physical fitness of their ancestors who experienced the tempering of mountains and seas of swords in the early days of the dynasty.
But now Zhu Zaijing is also an exception. Through his unremitting exercise and control of his diet, his height and physical fitness can be regarded as an outlier among the royal family.
Zhamusu was startled when he suddenly saw the tall man standing in the front hall of Prince Yu's Mansion. This man was a bit taller than him, and he was also so tall and tall, dressed in bright red. The wedding dress is held up just right, like a natural clothes rack.
Zhamusu reminded in a low voice: "Qi Muge, your man seems very tall, you have to be careful."
Qi Muge hummed in a low voice and couldn't help but He glanced quietly, trying to peek at Zhu Zaijing from the edge of the wedding fan he was holding.
Soon, when Qi Muge was about to reach the front hall, Zamusu could no longer follow him. He stopped where he was and glanced at Zhu Zaijing, who was standing in front of the front hall.
Zhamusu suddenly felt that the Prince of Ming Dynasty looked familiar to him, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
But when Qi Muge walked in front of Zhu Zaijing, with Qi Muge as a visual reference, Zhamusu's eyes suddenly widened.
He finally remembered who Zhu Zaijing looked like. Zhu Zaijing looked very much like the great devil Zhu San who captured him alive in the woods in front of Shixia Camp!
At this time, Zhu Zaijing happened to see Zamusu, and he also gave Zamusu a friendly smile.
But this friendly smile was reflected in Zamusu's eyes, and his expression was like seeing a devil's smile, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
"It's broken! It turns out that Ming Dynasty has been lying to us all along, and that damn Zhu San is King Yu!"
Zhamusu shouted crazily in his heart, but did not dare to say a word .
Because he still remembers the scene of Zhu San slapping him, the cold and ruthless eyes, and the extremely wanton movements. He believes that as long as he moves again, he will definitely die.
So, that was also the first time he surrendered to a Han.
Now when Zamusu saw the evil man who gave him nightmares and smiled at him again, Zamusu felt like he had fallen into a bone-chilling ice cave. He will die without a burial place!
Zhu Zaijing and Qi Muge walked side by side into the front hall of the palace, and completed the wedding ceremony of husband and wife according to the etiquette guidance of the etiquette officer. Qi Muge was surrounded by her maid and The female officer arranged in advance in the palace guided her to the bridal chamber in the back house.
Zhu Zaijing also left and changed into a set of casual wedding clothes, drank and chatted with everyone, and accepted the blessings of the guests who came to his wedding banquet.
After Zhu Zaijing had a drink with the important guests at the main table and all the nobles, he walked to the banquet of Tatar guests, which was dominated by Zamusu.
Originally, these Tatar guests also wanted to give Zhu Zaijing some compliments and embarrass him. However, as soon as Zhu Zaijing arrived, they jumped up with their heads stuck in their heads, with extremely respectful attitude. He bowed to Zhu Zaijing and said, "Zhamusu pays homage to Marshal Zhu."
This suddenly confused the people around me. What is going on?
Zhu Zaijing laughed and patted Zamusu on the shoulder, "Did Jiutaiji drink too much? Why are you shouting random names? Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. The princes and princes are not like you Tatar Khans. "The child can lead the army and be a commander."
Zhamusu was so frightened by Zhu Zaijing's words that he cried, his voice was exactly the same!
Especially when Zhu Zaijing patted his shoulder, the force was surprisingly strong, almost making his knees weak.
Zhamusu quickly replied: "What the prince said is that I drank too much."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled again and said: "Not bad, not bad. I can speak Chinese much more fluently now. Keep up the good work and we will keep in touch in the future."
Zhu Zaijing raised his glass in toast without drinking a drop of wine. , turned around and left.
At this time, the other Tatars next to Zamusu suddenly became angry. They accused Zamusu, "Taiji, how can you bow down to such a person? This makes us prairie men. Where is their face?"
Zhamusu's demeanor suddenly changed when he heard the noise of this group of people, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! From now on, you must treat Prince Yu respectfully, because he is already Qi Mu. Princess Ge’s husband. What do you mean by this attitude? Do you want our Golden Family to make a fool of ourselves?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They never expected that Zhamusu’s attitude would change. So quickly, you have just recognized someone as one of your family members just after visiting the church? Is it still under maintenance?
It’s really a surprise! You must know that it was Zamusu who coaxed them to be more arrogant at the wedding banquet and embarrass the Ming prince.
As a result, Zamusu gave in now, and he suddenly stood on the opposite side and scolded them. At this moment, these Tatars sitting at the same table with Zamusu felt as if they were the clowns.
