In August of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Beijing.
After Yang Shanlu returned, he went to the Yang Mansion to visit his father.
Then his old father called him anxious... It can be said that he is looking through the autumn water! After all, there is the place where he wants to be the emperor in the future!
So when the father and son met and heard Yang Shanlu said that everything went smoothly... Not only did they successfully take down the Golden Egg Island, but also began to expel bad coins with good coins. A large number of Han immigrants are moving in continuously, Yang Sichang Hearing it all laughed: "My business is done!"
Excited Yang Sichang seemed to have seen that the emperor's throne was waving at him!
Even he looked at Yang Shanlu, who had done such a major event, with emotion in his heart... Who could have imagined that he was only a product of drunkenness and an insignificant concubine born to a maid, but now he can grow to such a height? Yang Sichang is the most proud of his life, is there such a unicorn
Then Yang Shanlu looked at the excited red-faced father, and felt satisfied in his heart... Since the old man was willing to be the emperor, he was happy and relaxed, and for the next empire, this is also something for him. Great thing! Because this must be a capable emperor!
Compared with the current Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang's talents are much higher! The ability of the two to govern the country is completely incomparable!
Think about it, one was killed out of thousands of troops... Examined for scholars, admitted to Jinshi, and then after decades of training in the officialdom, step by step to stand out, to get to this point (and Yang Sichang is now doing The second minister of the cabinet is equivalent to the post of prime minister and has rich experience in how to govern the country)
As for Emperor Chongzhen, there is almost no competition. After his carpenter brother died, it was his turn to catch the ducks on the shelves. Therefore, the ability of the two to govern the country cannot be compared at all. Of course, this is for the empire that is about to be born. Said it is a great thing.
Then after the two met this time, they discussed the next strategy for the founding of the nation, including various other aspects. After studying for a long time, Yang Shanlu left the Yang Mansion and went to meet with Emperor Chongzhen... After all, it was the important event of the founding of the nation. Go, still can't get around him.
After the Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he was still very happy... Even if he wants to go out independently, he is still the great savior of the nation! One miracle after another still happened to him! Of course, what Chongzhen cares most about next is the marriage between Yang Shanlu and his precious daughter Zhu Yuxu.
This is what Yang Shanlu promised before he set out for the expedition, and now this time has come... Besides, this is also an attitude, which shows the relationship between the two Han countries, so it can’t be delayed any longer. !
Then Yang Shanlu agreed with this, and felt that it could not be dragged on... Just as the Emperor Chongzhen had said, could it be that the little princess was married and sent the little princess to the island of Java thousands of miles away
Therefore, after Chongzhen mentioned it again, Yang Shanlu readily agreed, indicating that everything would obey the arrangement.
Then Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he saw that he finally agreed... Hehe, after so long, Ai will finally become a virtuous son-in-law.
Then I learned that the two of them finally achieved a positive result. Queen Zhou, who had been waiting for news in the harem, was also very happy... Although the little princess Zhu Yuxuan was not her own, she grew up since she was a child, and is no different from her own, but now it is. ? Are you finally going to marry Wishful Langjun
Including the little princess, she smiled even more happily after knowing this... She had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally she was so beautiful!
Of course, the emperor's marriage to a daughter is an important matter, and it cannot be done carelessly. So now that he saw Yang Shanlu agree, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry. He just put on the style of the old man of Taishan, and said that you can go back with great restraint. , Your father and I will take care of the rest of the matter.
What else can I do? The two were originally about the same age, but now they are born a generation lower, and Yang Shanlu will have to call Chongzhen Lao Zhangren in the future.
So in desperation, Yang Shanlu could only return to Yang Mansion and wait for good news.
Then his father Yang Sichang knew of the matter, and of course he fully supported him. He immediately went into the palace and discussed with Chongzhen. It seems that Emperor Chongzhen was already suffocated for this marriage, so he waited until he and Chongzhen After Yang Sichang discussed it, he began to do it the next day.
And this time Chongzhen is still very high-profile... You said that even if it is a royal wedding, at most it will be done by notifying the clan’s mansion, but now, Chongzhen has regarded it as a national event and sent people to all parts of the country. The post at the office clearly announced...
Yang Shanlu, an unparalleled general in the world, is about to officially marry the royal princess Kunxing, and is about to become the royal cohort! As for the deeper implications, let them figure it out for themselves!
Including the following, all kinds of marriage procedures, such as Nazhai, Najib, etc., are all arbitrarily handled! That is to say, the two had already booked a kiss before, so it simplified a lot, but even so, it was still very grand, and it took two full months before it was all done.
Including Chongzhen and specially built a horse mansion for Yangshan Lu! Although after getting married, Yang Shanlu obviously wants to be based in Gary/Mandan, but this is the royal decent! It is a must-have ceremony!
On October 18, the 17th year of Chongzhen, that day was the day Yang Shanlu married the little princess!
And this time the royal wedding is really very grand. Even the day of marriage was carefully calculated by Chongzhen instructing Qin Tianjian... It is a good and auspicious day, and it is good to marry. And after the final report to Chongzhen, this was settled, which shows that the specifications of this marriage are high!
And on this day, the entire capital is very sensational... Thousands of people are empty! This is a royal wedding! And he wants to be a consort, but a well-known general in the town! So such a rare event...
Including this day, not to mention the others, the marrying team alone is a few miles long! In fact, Yang Shanlu’s Ma Mansion was only a few miles away from the imperial palace, and the line of almost welcoming relatives was already lined up from one end to the other! What you want is this style!
Moreover, the current Emperor Chongzhen, because he has money in his pockets, is no longer as poor and destitute as before, so this time the handwriting of the wedding is also very large.
According to statistics from people who care about it, nearly a hundred boxes and cages were carried out of the palace. Nearly two hundred sturdy generals (Jin Yiwei) were used to carry the boxes, and the generals were used to carry the dowry. The specifications are no more...
As for the good things in it, let alone, according to the news revealed afterwards, the finest silk quilt alone is a full 120! It is estimated that it will not be used up in a few lifetimes!
As for other good things, such as pearls and gems, they are all box by box! And there are more than a dozen varieties of gems, like rubies, emeralds, turquoise, lapis lazuli, etc., and so on.
Another example is the dowry jewelry of the little princess, there are hundreds of them! And they are all traditional Chinese festive patterns.
For example, jewelry made of plum blossoms, bamboo, and magpies means "double happiness in plum and bamboo", and pomegranate, bergamot, and peach fruit—symbolizing "three happiness and longevity".
For example, bees, horses, monkeys—symbolize the "right to the prince", Ganoderma, cranes with bergamot, and bamboo—symbolize "spiritual birthdays" and so on. It can be described as a dazzling array of beauty...
Even among them, there are dozens of pieces of Jinbu Yao jewelry alone, and each piece is a fine product!
It's like one of the "point emerald inlaid beaded phoenix stepping", it is very gorgeous... The wind body is decorated with kingfisher feathers, and its eyes and mouth are inlaid with red gems and snow-white rice beads. The two sides are inlaid with red coral beads, and the phoenix body looks like a phoenix. Flanking, two strings of more than ten centimeters of small pearls are held on the small sharp mouth, and the falling horns are small gourds made of many emeralds.
The whole Jinbu Shake is light and unique, with excellent selection of materials, it is a rare treasure! If placed in later generations, it would definitely be called a national treasure! But now... it's just one of them.
Of course, the reason why Chongzhen is so luxurious this time is also related to Chongzhen's money. Not to mention, the large amount of gold that Yang Shanlu recently transported from the country of Japan and distributed to him made Chongzhen's waist bag drum! So now that my baby girl is married, is there anyone who is stingy
However, this kind of luxury is only admired by the people along the street, and the real cause of the high tide is the appearance of Yang Shanlu!
When the town’s general, who is rarely seen by the people on weekdays, appeared in front of the people, he saw him as a white dragon horse, wearing a red wedding gown, a big red flower on his chest, and the princess's big sedan chair behind him. When they were in front of the people, the shouts of the people became loud...
"General Zhen Guo!"
"Zhen Guohou!"
"Master Ma!"
Anyway, that kind of enthusiasm...
And Yang Shanlu did not live up to this enthusiasm.
"Reward!" After he smiled and said, wherever he went, there was a guard next to him (at this time serving as the welcoming team), and grabbed a handful of them from the four and a half-person tall boxes he was carrying. A handful of copper coins and silver were thrown into the crowd!
And the copper coins thrown are all in one string, and the silver is still one or two silver corners! So this kind of boldness...
What excites the people even more is that the things the guards threw out contained some small cloth bags, and they contained good things they had never seen before, just like a child in a yellow bun, this time When he came with his father, he snatched a small cloth bag.
And when I opened it, my greedy saliva flowed down... because there were some delicious things he had never seen before, and it was exuding a tempting fragrance at this time, even three embroidered on the cloth bag. Words-chicken cashews! (Cashew nuts), and there is a row of small characters embroidered underneath-from Golden Egg Island.
"Father, what is this? Can it be eaten?" The child asked, but he couldn't help but reached out and grabbed it. At this moment, someone with knowledge of the goods next to him was already shouting: "God, it's a chicken. Cashews! Or chicken cashews from Golden Egg Island! I bought it for 50 taels of silver!"
You know the chicken cashew nuts of this era are absolutely rare and good! (Cashew nuts were originally produced in Brazil. At this time, only a small amount of cashew nuts were grown in Yunnan, and the output was extremely low, so the price was extremely high! But this kind of thing is a common species on Golden Egg Island, and the output is also very high, so now Well… )
"Not for sale!" The father said flatly, "This was rewarded by General Zhenguo, or it was produced on the fairy island where General Zhenguo is located. If you eat it, you can bless your life! How can it be sold!"
And listening to such a conversation, Yang Shanlu just laughed. Taking advantage of the opportunity of marrying his relatives to promote Golden Egg Island by the way, let the people realize the abundance of Golden Egg Island and yearn to relocate there. Good thing.
So just like that, wherever Yang Shanlu went, there was a wave of high tides... and this time there was such a big movement, the officials of the Five City Soldiers and Masi, and a large number of Jinyiwei, they were all busy It's broken, you have to be responsible for maintaining the order... Not to mention the accident to the General Zhen Guo!
Of course, they weren’t too busy like this. Before they got married, Yang Shanlu gave the chief officials of these two yamen a big red envelope of ten thousand taels of silver each, indicating that they were rewarding the brothers below, so these people were motivated. It's enough... After a busy day like this, can you get seven or twos of silver? Is there any salary for the top two or three months? So this drive...
And then just like that, all the way, playing drums, gongs and drums came to the Royal Horse Mansion, it is also very lively here.
Not to mention how lively the new couple worshipped their parents at the time, just this time, there are many good brothers of Yang Shanlu, Jun Zhongpaoze came to drink, like Cao Bianjiao, Wang Yanchen, Yang Guozhu, etc. .
Although the generals of a country like this generally cannot leave the station without the emperor's permission, things like this are special exceptions... Can the generals of the town get married, can they not come
So after they applied to the emperor, they were readily approved. Even in addition, a group of civil servants also came, like Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Daozhou, Liu Zongzhou, cabinet chief Liu Yuliang, etc., anyway. There are three whole tables, it can be called a group of talents...
Of course, these civil servants were mainly hosted by Yang Shanlu's father, Yang Sichang.
And to be honest, now the development of Golden Egg Island is on the right track, and the opening of the government will be sooner or later, so many of them are here to find out. This can be seen by Yang Shanlu. What are the benefits of Golden Egg Island? What wonderful future does it have, is it worth their bet
Although these people held important positions in the court and could not leave with their seals, their nephews and descendants were not the kind of prostitutes (the future development is not as bright as the prostitutes, but they are also their descendants and need to do They planned their future), they can go there... After all, in emerging countries, there are sure to be many opportunities...
Of course, you don’t have to worry about this. The first emperor in the future, Yang Sichang, a veteran of officialdom, will naturally do all this properly. After all, if it is really done, those people in the future will be considered his. Minister...
As for Yang Shanlu, what needs to worry about right now is getting married... The so-called wedding night in the bridal chamber is one of the four greatest joys in life, and now, he will experience it personally, and the other party is also the princess of Daming. , So this expectation...
