Chapter 227 The whole country is happy

"Uh, you!" Chongzhen rolled his eyes when he was choked. [】Although he had imagined how Zhang Linqi would answer, the answer was unexpected by Chongzhen!

No wonder Chongzhen was surprised. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had three wives and four concubines, but they had never heard of marrying four of them at once. This is easy to become the target of public opinion. To be honest, the reason why Chongzhen was able to hold on and did not let the queen find Zhang Linqi about Princess Changping's affairs was to reveal it tactfully, and this factor was also a factor.

Chongzhen also knew that Zhang Linqi had many confidants and knew that this question was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that Zhang Linqi gave such an answer today. Moreover, Zhang Linqi had another subtext for answering this, that is, he could marry Princess Changping, but he would not recruit a princess. Or he would not do the same thing as the princess!

Because in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you were recruited as a prince-consort, it would be almost the same as being sentenced to death. In politics, you cannot be in power for life, even if you are a small county magistrate! You can only do things at home. In life, you cannot have three wives and four concubines, and you have to pay tribute to the princess’ wife three times a day. Even if you do the husband and wife, you must ask for her consent and ask the consent of the female official. So Zhang Linqi absolutely cannot tolerate such a life...

However, Princess Changping behind the screen did not act abnormally after hearing this. In fact, she had acted several times in her heart and had already expected this answer.

For Princess Changping, who is simple-minded, it doesn’t matter how many wives and concubines Zhang Linqi has. What’s important is that as long as he can be with him, it’s enough. If he really recruits a prince-consort according to royal etiquette, can he be really happy?

Although Princess Changping is simple-minded, she has heard a lot about this. For example, she has an aunt who is also a princess. Nian Shaoling recruited a princess and since then she was confined to the Ten Princes' Mansion. She only had the daughters of eunuchs and palaces all day long. She looked up and saw the beast kissing the palace wall. In winter, she listened to the rain in summer. When the beauty grows old, she has already born. The couple has not been together for decades but not as many times as ordinary couples have met in two months. Such days are definitely not what Princess Changping wants!

"No wonder! Do you know that I am the lord of the Nine Five, and I only have one queen and two imperial concubines. You are better, either you don't make any noise, and if you want to do four at once, it's too outrageous." Chongzhen said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with this." Zhang Linqi smiled slightly and said, "You don't have three palaces and nine courtyards. It's your own rigor. But it's imperative for me to marry four people at the same time! Do you want me to be a kind and righteous person?"

"Well, this..." Chongzhen nodded involuntarily after hearing this. It seemed to make some sense! If Zhang Linqi was really such a person, his baby daughter would not have joined him!

Seeing that Chongzhen was a little moved, Zhang Linqi continued to strike the railway while the hot: "And I don't care about the so-called public opinion at all. As long as I am ashamed of myself, it's completely unnecessary to care about other people's ideas! Besides, who am I? I am a famous general in the world and a pillar of the country. Since I can beat the Tartars to scream and do things that others cannot do, then it is understandable to be different in marriage!"

Listening to Zhang Linqi's words, Chongzhen stopped talking. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the same is true. Just care about yourself, why bother to care about others? Besides, if you say it is a deviant, Chongzhen himself seems to be the one who takes the initiative!

There is no dignified emperor of the Nine Five, only a few concubines. I think those old ministers have been submitted dozens of times, and I beg Chongzhen to enrich his harem and give birth to the crown prince for many times, so Chongzhen always ignores it. Now that he and Zhang Linqi have something in common!

Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but ponder. After a long time, Chongzhen turned back on the screen with a complicated expression, sighed a long time and said, "Well, I won't go to your house to live in the future. If others don't object, you will let me!"

Because Chongzhen thought about it just now, he thought that Zhang Linqi would not be a son-in-law, which seemed good, at least there would be no need to have so many entanglements. The ancestors of the son-in-law who cannot participate in politics and cannot lead troops, if Chongzhen really did not do so, but if Chongzhen did not do so, he would feel embarrassed. The old guys like the clan mansion could not bear it, so Chongzhen thought it was good.

We just marry a daughter and don’t recruit a prince consort. I wish you old guys couldn’t say anything.

After hearing Chongzhen's statement, Zhang Linqi was happy. Even if Chongzhen said this, the matter was decided. "Thank you for your commitment." After some verbal talk, Zhang Linqi finally decided on the matter, and Zhang Linqi was also very happy.

"Slowly, although I promised you, in the order of the front and back, whoever enters the house first, whoever is bigger and smaller, must be clearly stated! This is related to the royal face, and we must not be vague!" Chongzhen's face suddenly changed and he said very seriously.

He has already made concessions in the issue of recruiting a prince-consort, which does not mean that this can also be concessions. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had a saying that three wives and four concubines, but Chongzhen believed that Princess Changping could marry her, but she must be the eldest wife. Even a flat wife would not be able to do it!

"Haha, Your Majesty, isn't this very clear? It depends on the order of knowing each other!" Zhang Linqi said with a smile.

"What, this is absolutely not possible! Don't say that those old guys in the clan's mansion don't agree, I don't agree either!" Chongzhen immediately shouted loudly when he heard this. When he came, everything else was easy to say. Princess Changping's growth was an absolutely unshakable bottom line!

When Zhang Linqi heard Chongzhen say this, he frowned. In his mind, the so-called saying that who is older and smaller is that they are all wives, and they are all for pain. What size is it? Of course, if you really want to talk about it, in Zhang Linqi's mind, Fang Jianping is naturally the most important and ranked first in controversial! No one can shake her position!

"Your Majesty, if you really want to be serious, then I will dare to say that Jianping is the deserving first lady!" Zhang Linqi said in a deep voice. A real man does something and does not do anything, and Zhang Linqi will not make concessions in this matter!

"You really have yours." Chongzhen was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Linqi, his face flushed red. When he came to let his baby daughter marry into the general's mansion, he was already at the cost of his life. Now he didn't even agree to this condition, which was really a bully!

However, Chongzhen was determined to say harsh words, but he really couldn't save face. After all, the friendship between the two was not something that ordinary people could understand. And he himself knew in his heart that although nominally, he was a monarch and Zhang Linqi was a minister. But if he really came up with it, he, the emperor, would have to ask him for everything. What else can he use to "threat" him now!

But if Chongzhen retreated, he would not die. So, for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to solidify. The two of them stared at me and I stared at you, like a bullfight, and they were fighting! At this moment, they heard a wave of rings of bells, and Princess Changping finally couldn't help but appear.

At this time, Princess Changping's face was blushing and as bright as the morning glow. It also took great courage for her to appear at this time! After all, the issue of her marriage is now discussed, and it was with Zhang Linqi also present. As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, the orthodox "virtuous woman" of the Ming Dynasty, she should have been hiding behind and not coming out.

But now Princess Changping still came out resolutely. Because the two men who are now the most powerful are more important to her. One is her biological father, a steady father by nature. A father who has never blushed with Zhang Linqi! Now he is so impatient, it is all for her. His father's love is as great as the sky!

And the other one, needless to say, would be the other half who would accompany her through the journey of life, no one! Now that she saw these two men, Princess Changping was naturally coming out!

Seeing Princess Changping coming out, Chongzhen was slightly stunned. Because he knew his daughter's temper well, he was the most gentle. It was rare to indulge in hiding behind the screen this time to eavesdrop! Now that he came out resolutely, the sun was definitely coming out to the west!

However, Chongzhen was angry at this time, so he just asked angrily: "What are you doing when you are a girl's house?"

When he heard Chongzhen say this, Princess Changping's pretty face turned red. That's right, Chongzhen's reproach is already a heavy blame for her, a girl who is cautious in her morals. However, Princess Changping, who has always been gentle by nature, did not retreat at this moment. "Father, is his status really that important? My daughter cares more about happiness!" Chongzhen was stunned when he heard Princess Changping say this. He thought to himself that it seemed to make sense. Although Chongzhen shouted loudly, he was not unfair to his original queen, but he fought with the two imperial concubines in a passionate manner.

Now to borrow Princess Changping’s words, status is really not the most important thing. The most important thing is happiness!

"Hmph, you are my daughter, how can you be young? It's a bargain to marry into the general's mansion!" Chongzhen still said angrily. However, Princess Changping, who knew his temperament, had already discovered that his father's attitude had become a little loose.

"Father, don't you know the heart of your daughter, don't you? My daughter really doesn't care about her status. As long as she can be with the person she likes, she will feel sweet even if she eats braised vegetables. And if she doesn't like, she will be frugal every day and food will be decent."

Princess Changping said excitedly. After saying that, a red glow had already floated on her jade face. Yes, if this was the past, Princess Changping would never say anything about it. But today is different from the past. It is a critical moment that determines her lifelong event. Therefore, Princess Changping didn't care about shyness and expressed her feelings directly.

"My silly daughter, you are really..." Chongzhen was so angry that he heard what Princess Changping said. He thought to himself that I don't know what you want! But at such a critical moment, I am trying my best to fight for you! After all, Zhang Linqi is different from ordinary ministers, and it is useless to use the imperial edict to suppress him. That is, now, if you can win, you can win, and if you can't win, there is no way. But now, before you can say a few harsh words, the people here are already giving up. How can you not let Chongzhen be discouraged!

At this time, Zhang Linqi also discovered the clues of the matter. After discovering that Chongzhen's attitude had loosened, he quickly said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed the empress who took advantage of it. But the emperor, you send the Buddha to the West and do the good people to the end. Why bother to be petty about these trivial matters? It's better to do it together."

At the same time, Zhang Linqi was grateful to Princess Changping again, thinking to herself that she is really my virtuous support! Before she got married, she already knew that her elbow was turning inward. However, Princess Changping did not meet Zhang Linqi. After all, it took great courage to say that, so how can she dare to meet her lover now!

"Hey, you guys" Chongzhen sighed. The shy daughter, Zhang Linqi, who was smiling again, thought to himself that he agreed with them, why am I still stopping me from doing there! But even though that is the case, it can't be too cheap. That boy has to make a good decision.
