    "Your Majesty, today is September 15th." Chen Hong has been serving Emperor Tianqi these days, and has gained some understanding of the emperor's temper. He knows that his master likes to answer all questions.  I really look down on those who hesitate in speaking. As long as they tell the truth, they won't be blamed even if they have some conflicts.  After listening to Chen Hong's words, Emperor Tianqi nodded and picked up the memorial on the table and slowly read it.  This is a memorial that Emperor Tianqi has been waiting for for a long time, because it talks about one thing, that is, the issue of the reign name.  This is the result of cabinet discussion, and the first to seventh year of the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620) is regarded as the forty-eighth year of Wanli.  The beginning of August marked the first year of Taichang. The emperor, who had reigned for one month, passed away without even having time to use his own reign title.  Starting next year will be the first year of the Apocalypse, which is 1621 AD.  Emperor Tianqi could only obediently approve this memorial, not only because this was how it was done in history, but Emperor Tianqi himself had no good solution.  Just when Emperor Tianqi was approving the memorial, an imperial edict had already been circulated, but it was said that the world was shocked even though the edict was very brief.  The history of the Ming Dynasty, the annals of the Apocalypse.  On February 15th, the first year of Taichang, Emperor Tianqi was sixteen years old. According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, a queen should be established.  Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, wrote a letter requesting the establishment of a queen, which was agreed.  Then the decree was issued.  Soon this matter spread all over the world, and all the prefectures and counties were busy selecting beauties to rule.  For these local officials, this is an opportunity. Even if the person they recommend does not become the queen in the end, even if it is just a noble concubine, they will definitely be taken care of. As long as they care about themselves, their official career will not rise all the way.  Therefore, all the officials spared no effort and even went to the homes of their daughters in person. Of course, most of them were motivated by inducements.  Henan, the county magistrate of Xiangfu County (now Kaifeng, Henan) is Li Changmao, named Ruide, who is in his forties this year.  Although he is not an honest official, he is not a treacherous person. If we evaluate him, he is diligent and makes no mistakes.  Ever since he received the official document from the Henan magistrate's office, this gentleman became excited. He saw his opportunity.  Although there is an old saying that beauties come from the south of the Yangtze River, Li Changmao believed that the girl he saw was definitely one of the most beautiful women in the world. Even if she was not a queen, she was definitely a concubine.  I just don¡¯t know if the other person is willing. Although many times I can¡¯t object to this kind of thing, this person¡¯s identity is very special.  The person Li Changmao was asked to take care of was Zhang Guoji, who was one of the largest households in Xiangfu County. If he was an ordinary large household, that would be fine.  This Zhang Guoji was a scholar with a good reputation. The status of a scholar in this era was very high, not to mention a scholar with a good name, who could become an official at any time.  Even if you are idle at home, you still have many disciples, old officials, teachers and students of the same age. If you can't offend such people, don't offend them.  Moreover, if someone forcibly sends a girl to the capital, not only will he benefit from it once the girl becomes powerful, but he may also have to suffer losses!  The reason why Li Changmao insisted on getting Zhang Guoji's daughter away was because he had met this Miss Zhang.  It was at a temple fair. Although he was young, only twelve or thirteen years old, even the county magistrate Li Changmao who had seen many beauties was shocked.  Zhang Yan, who was only thirteen years old, was already a little beauty. At this time, Li Changmao believed that Miss Zhang must be even more beautiful.  And the most important thing is that this Miss Zhang is very talented. Not only does she not have the temper of many eldest ladies, but she is also very gentle and virtuous. She is also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.  For his own future, Li Changmao was determined to accomplish this. He looked at his master Li Changmao and said, "Prepare a gift. I am going to the Zhang family." The Zhang family is one of the best in Xiangfu County.  , the family home is naturally in the best location in Xiangfu County, not far from the county government office. This morning, Li Maochang finally arrived at the door of Zhang Mansion.  Looking at the gate of Zhang Mansion, Li Changmao secretly warned himself that he could only succeed this time and not fail.  Although the Zhang family was very powerful, they did not dare to neglect the visit of the county magistrate. Zhang Guoji personally approached the mansion. After the two were seated separately, Li Changmao said straight to the point: "Zhang Yuanwai, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!"  " Zhang Guoji is a middle-aged man in his forties with a strong bookish air. Hearing Li Maochang's words, he was shocked.  Zhang Guoji still had some understanding of the personality of the county magistrate. Although he was not a good official, he acted fairly and aboveboard.  Immediately he said: "The county magistrate is too polite. If you have anything to do, it doesn't matter." Seeing Zhang Guoji's attitude, Li Maochang's originally anxious heart calmed down a little. He slowly said, "I wonder how old your wife is this year?  Have you ever been married? " Zhang Guoji was relieved after hearing Li Changmao's words. This county magistrate came here for his daughter, and he heard that he was a matchmaker!  He loves his woman Zhang Guoji very much.  Although there areThere are many people who protect the media, but Zhang Guoji is not very satisfied.  At this time, he was naturally happy to see that Li Changmao was interested in being a matchmaker. Since it was the county magistrate who asked about it, he thought it would be a good idea, so he said, "My daughter is fourteen this year and has never been married. I wonder if you know the county master?" Li Changmao felt secretly happy after hearing the answer he wanted, but  There was no expression on his face, and he still said calmly: "I have a very good family. I wonder if Zhang Yuanwai has any intention of marrying a daughter!" At this time, Li Changmao thought secretly in his heart, this time he will definitely let you  There is no reason to refuse, so I have to use some means to protect my future.  Zhang Guoji naturally did not think about Li Changmao's thoughts. His daughter is fourteen years old and has reached the age of marriage in this era.  Since there is a magistrate who works as a matchmaker, it must be a good family background. Since this is the case, if the person is good, then naturally there will be no problem.  After pondering slowly for a moment, Zhang Guoji said with a smile: "Since the county magistrate is acting as a matchmaker, then Zhang will naturally give him face. I wonder which family the county magistrate is talking about?" After hearing Zhang Guoji's words, Li Changmao was immediately relieved.  At the same time, I'm secretly happy that you can't escape this time, and neither can one of my prefects.  Smiling softly, Li Changmao said, "The man is in the capital. He is sixteen years old this year." Seeing Li Changmao's old fox-like smile, Zhang Guoji finally felt that something was wrong. He frowned and said, "I don't know who this person is."  ? "Although it is in the capital, it is still a bit far away to marry his woman.  "The man's surname is Zhu." Li Changmao smiled mysteriously and said slowly.  Zhang Guoji's heart trembled when he heard this surname. The surname Zhu Naiguo was still in the capital, so it seemed to have a lot to do with the royal family.  Chapter 2 is here
