"You can't kill that old hen, that's my future daughter-in-law!"
Seeing that the old woman in front of him was so anxious, the emperor who pretended to be an ordinary person couldn't help but be a little confused, even the old woman's son didn't understand what his mother was saying.
Why did the old woman say that the old hen was her daughter-in-law, and how did the emperor settle the matter?
The lost Emperor of the Ming Dynasty
In the history of the mainland, there are some emperors who like to visit privately with Weifu very much, and the most famous are the three emperors Kang, Yong, and Qian.
The original intention of the private interview of Weifu was to let the emperor who lived in the palace go to the people to see the world and thoroughly understand the lives of the people at the bottom, which would be more conducive to governing the country.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the original intention of the emperors' private visit is very good. If they can really do something good for the people, the money is destined not to be spent in vain.
However, it is a pity to everyone that the emperor of Weifu's private visit today is not Kang, Yong, and Qian, but Zhu Houzhao, the martial artist of the Ming Dynasty.
For this emperor, who ascended to the throne at a young age, the controversy is very big. However, one thing that everyone admits is that Zhu Houzhao was very playful all his life, and he finally died because of playfulness.
Zhu Houzhao's father is Zhu Youzhang, a very famous Ming monarch in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who once made the Ming Dynasty rich and strong again, but unfortunately he died young before he could educate his son well.
It is precisely because of the lack of discipline that Zhu Houzhao was uninhibited when he was a child. However, there is one thing to say, Zhu Houzhao is still relatively smart.
At that time, the leader of a Mongolian tribe rose rapidly, and people called themselves little princes.
Under the management of the little prince, their tribe grew stronger, and the Ming frontier became more and more chaotic.
After learning of this, Zhu Houzhao personally led the army to the expedition, and thus he became the last emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty to personally conquer.
At that time, many ministers thought that Zhu Houzhao was playing, but unexpectedly, under the effective command of Zhu Houzhao, the little prince returned defeated.
The victory of this personal expedition made Zhu Houzhao realize that the outside world is very exciting.
Later, King Ning rebelled, and Zhu Houzhao shouted for his own conquest, but this time he was opposed by the ministers, after all, this small vassal king could be pacified by local officials.
In fact, the ministers knew very well that Zhu Houzhao just wanted to use the excuse to quell the rebellion and go south to play.
In order to let Zhu Houzhao have no excuse to go south, Wang Yangming hurriedly led troops to quell King Ning's rebellion, and captured King Ning himself.
But even so, Zhu Houzhao still clamored to go south. The people who supported him in the court were naturally those favored eunuchs.
I don't know if you have noticed that many times eunuchs are very favored, because they are good at speaking well and obediently.
Take Zhu Houzhao's southward journey this time as an example, the group of eunuchs all supported it with great support, and their shouts were higher than those of the ministers, so even if King Ning's rebellion was put down, Zhu Houzhao still had to go south to inspect.
It sounds good to be a patrol, but in fact, it is a trip, after all, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful.
But this still made Zhu Houzhao not satisfied, and he didn't forget to pay a private visit to Weifu when he was greedy for fun. If you want to say that he took the guards himself, Zhu Houzhao also wanted to bring his favorite concubines, but this idea was once again opposed by the ministers.
Zhu Houzhao was born stubborn, since everyone does not allow it, then he can only find another good solution.
Zhu Houzhao said to his favorite concubine Liu Guifei: "After I go out in civilian clothes, you also quickly change into civilian clothes and leave the palace, and then we will meet in Jilong Mountain." ”
Liu Guifei agreed very much after hearing this, so they went their separate ways.
After coming to Jilong Mountain, Zhu Houzhao waited for a long time and didn't see Liu Guifei.
I don't know if Liu Guifei got lost, or if Zhu Houzhao went to the wrong place and waited for a few days without being able to meet.
The situation became more and more urgent, so Zhu Houzhao decided to find his concubine. However, what made the guards feel difficult was that Zhu Houzhao wanted to find his concubine by himself and did not let the guards accompany him.
This is very dangerous! What if they encounter a ferocious beast in the wilderness? But Zhu Houzhao still insisted on looking for it himself, this was an order from the emperor, and the guards had no choice but to wait in place.
This Jilong Mountain Zhu Houzhao is the first time to come, and he doesn't know where to look for it, so he gets lost as he walks.
The future daughter-in-law of the old woman
Walking and walking, Zhu Houzhao's stomach screamed, and he had to walk forward, and finally saw the curling smoke.
There is cooking smoke, which means that someone lives in it, and it is cooking, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ran over when he saw this.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was still relatively low-key, after all, his current identity was an ordinary person, and he came to beg for food.
There were two people living in that family, the male owner was named Zhou Yuan, a young man who was not yet married, and the other was his mother.
Seeing that a guest came, Zhou Yuan was naturally very welcome.
Although this family is very enthusiastic, what makes Zhu Houzhao dissatisfied is that Zhou Yuan's cooking is clear soup and little water, not to mention meat, and even the dishes are very small.
Thinking that he had been a big fish and meat in the palace before, Zhu Houzhao lost his appetite for the clear soup and little water. Just when he was helpless, he saw that Zhou Yuan's family had a very robust chicken.
Its body of meat was enough for Zhu Houzhao to feast on them.
So Zhu Houzhao cheekily asked to eat chicken. Zhou Yuan saw that the other party was dressed like a nobleman or a wealthy family, so he had to satisfy his thoughts. After that, Zhou Yuan went to deal with the chicken.
Knowing that her son was sharpening his knife and preparing to kill the chicken, the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to step forward and say his thoughts when he saw this, so there was the scene at the beginning.
Zhu Houzhao was puzzled when he heard the old woman's words: "Could it be that this chicken can still become a beautiful woman?"
In those very magical times, it wasn't too strange to have such an idea.
The old woman saw that the guest was so stubborn and puzzled, so she gave her own explanation.
"This is the only old hen in our family, and we are reluctant to eat the eggs it lays, but we sell them all, and our family's funds have accumulated little by little. ”
"And this money will be used by my son to marry his daughter-in-law in the future, so this old hen is equivalent to my future daughter-in-law. ”
After listening to the old woman's words, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that even Zhou Yuan didn't know what his mother thought.
For Emperor Zhu Houzhao, this problem was very easy to solve, so he directly threw the old woman a little silver.
With this money alone, it is estimated that the old woman's family will not be able to earn it for the rest of her life.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Grandma, just let this little brother kill the chicken, just so that we can all satisfy our hunger." This money is enough for your son to marry a daughter-in-law, and then there is no problem in buying some hens. ”
The old woman was very happy when she looked at the silver in her hand, and when she heard Zhu Houzhao's words, she also nodded.
Adult beauty
In this way, a plate of chicken was served on the table, and everyone had a full meal.
After eating and drinking, Zhu Houzhao chatted with Zhou Yuan's family, and then Zhu Houzhao asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhou Yuan. ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there a favorite woman now?"
Zhou Yuan's face turned red after hearing this, and he was so shy that he couldn't even speak.
Zhu Houzhao is a veteran of the love scene, he can see the problem at a glance, so he is very experienced and decided to help Zhou Yuan get his dream lover.
Under Zhu Houzhao's continuous persuasion, Zhou Yuan finally said who his favorite woman was.
The woman's surname is Cao, and his father is an imperial historian, and the people of the rivers and lakes give him the nickname "Cao Yushi".
It is said that the daughter of Cao Yushi is very beautiful, and many nobles or sons of rich families want to marry her. However, Cao Yushi's vision was very sharp, and he didn't agree to any of them.
So many advantageous big families failed to marry Cao Qianjin, let alone Zhou Yuan, who had nothing, so he was embarrassed to say his dream lover at the beginning.
Zhu Houzhao is also a helpful emperor, yes, he wants to match Zhou Yuan and Cao Yushi's daughter. For him, it's very easy.
Zhu Houzhao asked Zhou Yuan to take a pen, and then he tore off a piece of clothing from himself, and then he picked up the pen and began to create.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao's work was written, which was written to Cao Yushi.
Zhu Houzhao said in the cloth that although Zhou Yuan's family was poor, Zhou Yuan himself was honest and kind, and invited Zhu Houzhao to eat the only old hen in the family.
Then Zhu Houzhao said again, since your daughter has not been married yet, it is better to make a pair with Zhou Yuan, and it will be a rich and noble life in the future.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is not so sure about the future life of Zhou Yuan's family, but these are not what he is worried about, because the focus is on marrying Cao Qianjin.
This Cao Yushi is also unlucky enough, people were originally sad when they were keeping filial piety, but they didn't expect that the emperor also came with a letter of recommendation from his son-in-law.
After all, this is the son-in-law recommended by the emperor, and the significance is destined to be extraordinary. Of course, the emperor's imperial pen is a holy decree, so even if Cao Yushi and his daughter are unwilling, they can only do it.
After learning that Zhou Yuan successfully married the lover of his dreams, Zhu Houzhao was also very satisfied.
After the two got married, Zhou Yuan treated Cao Qian very well, and slowly the two became a model couple who respected each other.
Zhou Yuan himself, with the help of his father-in-law Cao Yushi, gradually developed into a wealthy family, which was generally very good.
Although Zhu Houzhao's "adult beauty" is a bit far-fetched on the surface, the result is very good. After all, Zhu Houzhao still knows about the gratitude.
Zhu Houzhao liked beautiful women very much all his life, and after he heard that Cao Yushi's daughter was very beautiful, he didn't think about taking it for himself, but "adult beauty", which is very good.
Zhu Houzhao is not a bright monarch or a faint monarch and a tyrant in his life, and his biggest shortcoming is naturally his addiction to play.
However, from today's story, we can see that Zhu Houzhao did a good deed this time, showing his side of "gratitude and gratitude".
