Chapter 1118: A Good Show
In the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Dijing's success, it was established that the prince only married the daughter of a small family.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a disaster of relatives, just because the queen's maiden family is not strong.
However, the several forces surrounding the imperial power, in addition to relatives, also included eunuchs, civil servants, and military generals and nobles.
The scourge of eunuchs has been haunting the Ming Dynasty until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen was also pitted.
Emperor Chongzhen, who has no eyes and is stubborn and self-serving, is actually the faint monarch who is most like Mingjun, one of his most trusted eunuchs, Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, instructed the same party to open the Changyi Gate and the Desheng Gate successively, and welcomed the thieves into the capital.
With Li Zhongyi's knowledge, he naturally knew that if the imperial power wanted to be stable, it must balance various forces and not let one of them gain the upper hand.
Someone brilliantly summed it up: mix sand, throw stones, dig corners!
Objectively speaking, today's concept of marriage has always been: marrying a woman from a high family and marrying a woman from a low family. In just eight words, it is actually not simple, and it incisively condenses the valuable experience of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.
The little lady of a wealthy family, as long as she has a little bit of grace or talent, will definitely be used by the elders of the family for political marriage, which is a reality that does not depend on people's will.
In other words, the beautiful girls of the famous families, even if Li Zhongyi is not included in the back house, they will each find a powerful in-law.
In layman's terms, the daughter of Governor Zhang's family married Li Xianggong's family, and the son of Li Xianggong's family married the little lady of General Wang's family.
The mutual political marriage between the powerful and the threat to the imperial power is actually only enough to kill the great harm!
Therefore, Li Zhongyi must admire Kang Mazi, the so-called Holy Ancestor who has had smallpox and has a face full of pits, and came up with a clever trick: referring to marriage!
The nobles of the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners, as long as it is an official eunuch family of more than four grades, the daughter of the family must participate in the draft in the palace after the pole.
The draft, coupled with the emperor's finger marriage, made the nobles of Manchuria unable to threaten the supreme imperial power of the Aixin Jueluo family!
The unmarried Gege of the Manchurian aristocracy, because of genetic inheritance, most of them are not only not beautiful, but very ugly.
However, the emperor's draft was not a beauty pageant, but selected all the brains of the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles into the palace, so that they could not participate in the family political marriage.
I must admit that the draft is really a good move, and the smart Gege is imprisoned in the palace, what kind of Gege are the rest?
As the ruling king of the Great Zhou Dynasty from a small bureaucratic family, Li Zhongyi will definitely be the founder of the country in the future, and there are many groundbreaking top-level system designs that must be led by him and successfully continued.
Otherwise, according to the logic of the replacement of imperial power with a greatly decreasing prestige, when it comes to Li Zhongyi's grandson's generation, he will inevitably face the death of the elite class constantly sitting on the throne!
Now, since Kong Kun insists on coming out, it is equivalent to Li Zhongyi just wanting to fall asleep, Kong Kun handed over the pillow of his dreams, how could he not grab it?
"Okay, what Kong Shenzhi said is very true. Anyway, my lustful name has long spread at home and abroad, and I don't mind taking some famous ladies. It's better to be designated as the home of officials above the sixth grade, and all the unmarried young ladies in their families must participate in the draft in the palace first......" Li Zhongyi did not hesitate at all, unambiguously pushed the boat down the river, and smiled at Kong Kun's good intentions.
The prime ministers present were completely unexpected, staring at each other with big eyes, and they were speechless for a long time.
Kong Kun never expected that Li Zhongyi deliberately distorted his original intention and expanded the scope of accepting famous ladies to the homes of officials above the sixth rank of the DPRK.
Nima, if this news spreads, the saliva of the officials will be enough to drown Kong Kun, the initiator!
Because, Li Qiniang wants to marry Li Zhongyi justifiably, Li Qiong naturally cannot oppose Kong Kun's proposal.
Wei Renpu has always appeared in front of everyone as the prime minister with food, and he is a famous old slippery head. Since Li Zhongyi has spoken in person, how dare he openly oppose it?
Liu Jinshan is Li Zhongyi's confidant, and there must always be a lot of concubines waiting for the lord, whose little lady is not the choice?
This shows that Li Zhongyi's vision is vicious, and he seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and no one dared to oppose the prime ministers.
"Oh, since the princes have no opinions, then the cabinet will draw up an edict and announce the ministers of the world as soon as possible, right?" Li Zhongyi has always taken it as his responsibility to crack down on the gate valve and the powerful, how can he not use the reason that Kong Kunbai sent to hand?
Li Zhongyi has said this, and if anyone stands up against it, it is a typical ignorance. In this way, the matter of selecting the world's beautiful girls to enrich the back house of the ruling palace has been decided, and it is a certainty, and there is no room for change.
After the summoning was over, Kong Kun, who was walking at the end of the prime ministers, suddenly noticed that the three people in front of him had stopped.
"Kong Shenzhi, look at the good things you have done, hum!"
In front of Li Zhongyi just now, Wei Renpu didn't dare to object, but no matter how incompetent he was, it was impossible for him to take Kong Kun, who had just entered the cabinet, in his eyes and openly spray mercilessly.
"Kong Kun, aren't you afraid of the world's ridicule for the good things you have done?" Li Qiong had a fire in her heart, and at this moment, she just took advantage of Wei Renpu's words to make a big use of the topic.
Liu Jinshan glanced at Kong Kun, who was already sweating on his forehead, he sneered in his heart, stealing chickens is not a matter of eating a few handfuls of rice, he really deserves it!
Since the last time, Kong Kun's wife and daughter were drunk in the lord's mansion, and the bad reputation was like maggots attached to the bones, following Kong Daiyao, the only daughter of the Kong family.
Kong Daiyao, who is likely to have been touched by the lord, let me ask, which gate valve family dares to marry her into the door?
To put it bluntly, since the drunken incident, Kong Daiyao has only three ways to go: commit suicide, escape into the nunnery, and marry Li Zhongyi.
Kong Kun's wishful thinking must have emulated Li Qiniang's old story and stuffed Kong Daiyao into Li Zhongyi's back house.
It's just that Kong Kun not only wants to be a cousin, but also wants to set up an archway, deliberately taking advantage of Li Zhongyi's lack of heirs to achieve his selfish goal.
As a result, Li Zhongyi, who is good at chess and has more than ten moves, took advantage of Kong Kun's careful thinking and played a wonderful drama in the all-day draft.
Kong Kun can be said to have lifted a stone, but smashed his own foot, and his reputation will definitely stink from now on!
After the whole process is deduced, the biggest beneficiary is none other than the ruling king Li Zhongyi.
The daughters of officials participating in the draft naturally cannot all be beautiful girls. However, Liu Jinshan can assert that the beautiful little ladies of the official family will definitely be wiped out by the Lord.
In this way, the final effect of the marriage between officials will certainly be greatly reduced.
The reason is actually very simple, how can the second generation of officials really like an ugly girl every day? The drama of spoiling concubines and killing wives will definitely be staged continuously in the circle of the gate valve family, and it is unsolvable.
This has seriously shaken the foundation of the elite class that has been passed down from generation to generation!
