Chapter 903 Marriage
Li Fugui and his wife thought it was very good. The princess had agreed that her son was an officer or the eldest son, and she would inherit the throne of Guangning in the future. The mother of the princess with such good conditions would definitely agree. Then she reported to the emperor that according to Li Fugui's understanding of the emperor, there should be no problem. The next step is to prepare for the wedding.
But when he thought of something happening to the princess' mother Zhu Youjia, Zhu Youjia disagreed.
Zhu Youjia was a little unhappy when she saw Li Fu's mother coming to the palace to propose marriage. What is your identity? You were just a clerk in Wuchang County, and you were just a prisoner without a formal establishment. In the words of later generations, you were a temporary worker. It was easy to get on Zhu Hongsan's chariot. Now you have become a marquis. Do you think you are qualified to marry the emperor's daughter?
Zhu Youjia's father was King Ji Zhu Ci, Changsha. Zhu Youjia was also the pearl in King Ji's hand at that time, so he was very arrogant. If it weren't for this personality, he wouldn't have messed up with Zhu Hongsan back then, but Zhu Youjia was snatched by Zhu Hongsan. Although his husband and his son who were less than one year old died at the hands of Zhu Hongsan, he also avoided his own city being destroyed and killed by the bandits.
Zhu Youjia is arrogant and has reached middle-aged menopause. Now when he hears that Li Fu, a clerk's son, dares to marry his daughter. The dignified imperial princess, Zhu Youjia naturally has no good face to Li Fugui's wife who is here to propose marriage.
Zhu Youjia didn't give Li Fugui's wife a face, and said directly that you, Li Fu, a son of a clerk, didn't urinate and looked in the mirror. He actually wanted Princess Shang? Didn't wake up from his dream?
Li Fugui's wife is also a marquis, no matter how she said that she was scolded by Zhu Youjia, and she left the palace with a red face. She swears that even if her son beats her for the rest of her life, she will never marry your Zhu Youjia's daughter.
Zhu Xiang didn't expect that things would be so quarrel with his mother Zhu Youjia, and then went to have a big fight with the princess Zhu Ping'er?/p>

At the end of last year, Zhu Pu ∫ Huan ∫ Huan ∫ Jiao?

Of course, there is a reason why Zhu Hongsan can agree to Zhu Xiang's marriage so happily. Zhu Xiang is not the eldest daughter and her mother's identity is not clear, so there will be no restrictions on her marriage. If Ma Xiaofang's eldest daughter or Qian Yuting's daughter is replaced, it will be different. Their mother status is valuable, and you must have a good family to find a son-in-law. Therefore, Zhu Xiang has a low birth and is not sure whether it is lucky or unfortunate.
In addition to Zhu Xiang's low background, there is another point in Li Fugui's identity. Li Fugui was born into a clerk. In addition to scholars and military generals who followed Zhu Hongsan south, there were also a large number of people with low status. For example, Li Fugui, who was born into a clerk, Tien Niu, who was born into a blacksmith, Xiao Laoliu, who was born into a tailor, etc. Among these low-level nobles, there is also the Wu family, who was born into a craftsman, that is, Wu Chaocui, who was beaten to death by Zhu Yuan.
Wu Chaocui was Tieniu's cousin. He followed Zhu Hongsan and went south. Wu Chaocui's brothers died in the battle, but now they are beaten to death by Zhu Yuan. Wu Chaocui's mother is also implicated and trampled to death, which makes those low-level nobles complain.
But what can Zhu Hongsan do? Punish his son for a low-level noble? This is impossible! So when Zhu Hongsan learned about Zhu Xiang's incident, he immediately thought of using Zhu Xiang to appease the low-level noble. The reason is very simple. Li Fugui is the only one among the low-level nobles who were granted a marquis, so Li Fugui has a vague intention of taking the lead among them. Now that a low-level noble has died, Zhu Yuan, who has already dealt with the crime, has married the princess to you again, so he should have no objection!
Li Fugui originally thought that the marriage was gone, but unexpectedly, the turn of things happened. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor called Li Fugui and his son to the palace, praised Li Fu, betrothed Princess Zhu Xiang to Li Fu on the spot, and set the marriage on the first day of the sixth month of the twelfth year of Shenwu.
Li Fugui was overjoyed when he saw the marriage. He was a marriage with the emperor. The Li family probably had their ancestral tombs on fire. Li Fugui took his son out of the palace and immediately went to the Ministry of Justice to ask the Minister for three months for a holiday. He wanted to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors and report to the ancestors of the Li family. The Li family has been clerks for generations, and finally his generation has been out of his lowliness!
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the social status of clerks was very low. They were not allowed to take the imperial examination, and taking the examination was a right that even farmers could enjoy. In society, clerks were only higher than the lowest son-in-law, the one who took out manure, and the same as beggars, prostitutes, actors, and servants. At the same time, clerks were still in the same family position, that is, the elders in your family had a clerk, and your family had been clerks for generations, and they lost the qualification to the imperial examination.
Although Li Fugui is now a marquis of the empire, he always feels inferior in the officialdom because of his low origins.
But it would be fine after Li Fu and the princess got married. Li Fu was Li Fugui's eldest son. According to the imperial legal system, Li Fu would inherit the title of Guangning Hou in the future. In other words, Guangning Hou would have the royal bloodline in the future and officially escape from the lowly clerk.
After taking leave, Li Fugui returned to his hometown in Wuchang with a large amount of money, found all his relatives who were not dead in the war, and had a banquet for three days, and had three days of water seats in Wuchang County, showing off his appearance, so that everyone knew that Li Fugui, the prisoner who could not even have enough food to eat back then, has now become the emperor's in-laws and has the most noble bloodline of the empire in the future.
After Li Fugui returned to Beijing, the news that his son wanted Princess Shang had spread in the circle of nobles. Those nobles who looked down on Li Fugui also began to make friends with him.
Today, Li Fugui finished drinking at the Huguang Guild Hall and left the gate with a smell of alcohol. The shopkeeper of the Huguang Guild Hall stood at the door and nodded and said, "Mr. Marquis, be careful of the steps when it's dark!"
Li Fugui was in a good mood and looked at the shopkeeper and smiled: "Old Ding, you and I are both fellow villagers. Look at how your brother is now? You must work hard too! Maybe your descendants will be on par with our Li family in the future!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face, "That's how dare! Even if Lao Ding is a descendant, he will be a scholar, but he is incomparable to the Marquis. The Marquis is the emperor's in-laws, and there is something that ordinary people can compare with us!"
When Li Fugui saw the shopkeeper talking, he laughed and, with the help of his family, got on the sedan at the door and went home.
The shopkeeper Ding saw Li Fugui walking away and whispered, "Bah! I'm crazy about you, isn't it just a clerk? My son can study for the Jinshi, can your son study?"
Regardless of the envy, jealousy and hatred of outsiders, our Director Li, Marquis Li, and the future father-in-law of the Changsha princess were so proud that she couldn't help but hum a little tune.
The Huguang Guild Hall is in the south city, and Li Fugui's home is in Chaoyang Gate, which is the east city. There is the imperial palace in the middle of Beijing City, so Li Fugui has to go home in a big circle.
There was no light pollution from later generations in the Ming Dynasty. After the sun set, except for the palace, Shuntian Mansion, and the infantry commander's yamen, the entire Beijing city was dark. Of course, there were not a single person on the street. In addition to the Jinyiwei and the Inspection Office, there were also these drunk nobles.
The Ming Dynasty, like all Chinese dynasties, implemented a strict curfew system, that is, it was stipulated that no one was allowed to go out within the specified time after dark. The Ming Dynasty's regulations were very strict, and those who did not enter their homes without permission after the curfew would be allowed to rectify the law without warning, even officials of the court would not. At the same time, it was also stipulated that the people were not allowed to walk around the streets for no reason during the curfew period. Those who violated the orders were at least responsible for forty, and those who violated the orders could rectify the law on the spot.
In the Ming Dynasty, the security of the capital was managed by three places, one was the Jinyiwei, but they were responsible for the security of the streets around the imperial city, and other civilian areas were basically not allowed to go to. The other was the infantry commander's yamen, who were mainly responsible for the security work of the whole city, and the third was the city patrol censor established by Shuntian Prefecture and the Censorate.
The first two are easy to understand. The Jinyiwei is a policeman, and the infantry commander's yamen is a garrison in the capital, but why did the censor get involved? The first two are used to deal with criminals, but there were many people in the Ming Dynasty who were not in charge of the Jinyiwei and infantry commander's yamen who did not care about it or dared to manage it. These people include scholars, officials, nobles, etc., and the Censor manages them.
This system that specializes in cleaning up officials is the system of the city censors, and it is also the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang back then. Zhu Yuanzhang was similar to Zhu Hongsan, and he made a fortune in beggars, so naturally there must be a group of old men who fought together. After these guys became dukes and marquis, they harmed all over the capital. Scholars did not have such great power as the late Ming Dynasty, and the generals were not oppressed as three grandsons, so the street generals often drank too much wine to beat officials.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a system of censors in the city, specifically dealing with these military generals and nobles. The censors in the city belong to the Censorate and were responsible for inspecting the security management of the five cities in the east, west, south, north and middle of the capital, hearing litigation, arresting thieves, and setting up the Censors in the City.
However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, military generals and nobles were suppressed by civil servants, but these civil servants became the number one hazard in the capital. The Ming Dynasty literati were different from the Qing Dynasty literati and were not oppressed as kowtow insects. The Ming Dynasty literati still had some of the styles of the Han and Tang dynasties, which was to fight if there was a disagreement.
Of course, this fighting style is also effective. The court officials and ministers in the court were very happy, so the literati below naturally had to follow suit. In addition, the economy developed greatly in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the number of nightlife gradually increased. These stinky old men began to jealous after eating and drinking. Fighting in the street was common.
