Ever since he was granted the title of Marquis, the posts on Wang Tingxuan's door have never stopped. Most of them are here to establish relationships or even be a matchmaker.
These are mostly aristocratic families like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
The difference is that when they faced Wang Tingxuan in the past, they were always aloof, as if it was such an honor to marry the concubine of their family.
Now, the ones brought out are all the legitimate daughters of the family. Even if they are not the eldest daughter, they are still the legitimate second daughters.
Zheng An arranged for someone to send the post at the door to Wang Tingxuan's study, and said: "Master, these posts are sent by families who want to get married. I arranged for someone to investigate and found that their reputations are pretty good. Do you want to see them?
one sight."
Wang Tingxuan's expression changed. Although he was kind to others and did not have such a strict distinction between superior and inferior, he would never allow his servants to make decisions for his master in private, so as not to develop a big-hearted slave like Rong Guofu.
"Zheng An, when I arrived at this compound, I told you about the rules of the house. Tell me who allowed you to make decisions privately."
Zheng An was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and explained: "Master, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore."
"Go down and collect your punishment yourself."
Wang Tingxuan watched Zheng An go down and fell into deep thought.
The purpose of these posts on the door is nothing more than to see that he has become a prince, has become valuable, and wants to get married.
This is not surprising.
It would be strange not to have these posts.
What made him angry was that some of the servants in the mansion were also unstable recently.
At first, he didn't understand the reason. The treatment in his house was good, and there weren't that many disputes.
He even allowed those slaves who were willing to learn to study with the literate people in the mansion. It can be said that the treatment in his mansion was considered good in the capital.
Of course, it is not as good as a grandfather like Rong Guofu who makes his slaves his master.
Later, I figured it out after hearing the chatter of my servants.
The slaves are also urging the marriage.
He is only sixteen years old, how could he have thought that he would encounter marital problems at this age.
Even though he is mentally old enough, his body is still young after all, and he has never touched a woman before, so how could he be so eager.
He himself is not in a hurry, but others are.
There are no elders or heirs in the mansion.
If his marriage doesn't work out, his heart will be unstable.
Punishing Zheng An this time is also a reminder to the servants in the mansion not to forget their identity.
The emperor was also thinking about this issue, and there were actually quite a few people who came to him for help. Those who could speak in front of him were all his trusted ministers, and it was really difficult to refuse.
"Zhongshun, please give me some ideas on how to solve this problem."
King Zhongshun asked: "What is the emperor's plan? Are you planning to choose the daughter of the royal family or the daughter of a minister?"
The Emperor discussed this issue with King Zhongshun once. In the face of Wang Tingxuan's achievements, it is indeed good to marry the children of the royal family, but it also has disadvantages.
If he really participates in the competition for the throne, then the prince he supports can almost be said to be a sure winner.
This is obviously something the emperor does not want to see.
But if you marry the daughter of a minister, you will still face such problems.
Those ministers who came before him are his confidants now, who can say that they will still be his confidants in the future.
In this case, it is better to let the daughter of the royal family marry Wang Tingxuan.
"What about the royal family's daughter? What about the minister's daughter?"
King Zhongshun said rather roguely: "If the emperor chooses a daughter from the royal family, then give the opportunity to Zhaojing."
The emperor immediately rejected King Zhongshun's proposal. This time, King Zhongshun gained the greatest benefit, which was greater than the threat from Wang Tingxuan.
If he wasn't his biological brother, how could he get so many benefits?
"Didn't you say it last time? It would be better to choose the minister's daughter."
King Zhongshun curled his lips and said: "Brother Emperor, it's not my brother who complained. Those ministers who begged you are all tricksters and cannot be trusted."
Nonsense, can the emperor not know?
If they had made good friends with Wang Tingxuan before, the emperor would have been happy to be the matchmaker.
Now I saw that Wang Tingxuan's identity had changed, and because I had no friendship with him, I begged him.
The moral character of these people is questionable and they will definitely not be reused in the future.
"I didn't ask you to say this. Do you have an idea? If not, quickly find a way. If the four princes and eight princes seek help from the father, it will be difficult to handle."
King Zhongshun was also shocked. Although the Supreme Emperor had delegated power, there was no guarantee that he would not be soft-hearted and mess up the mandarin ducks.
Immediately, King Zhongshun became proud of his foresight again.
Lin Ruhai's daughter is really a good choice. Even if the Emperor knew about it, he wouldn't be able to say no.
"I do have a good candidate here. My father-in-law can't give me any reason to object."
Seeing how stinky King Zhongshun was, the emperor wanted to kick him.
"Tell me quickly, haven't you heard that Shui Rong went to the palace to pay homage to his father?"
King Zhongshun immediately stood up from his chair. He did not go to the harem. He was called directly from home by the emperor.
There is really no news about Shui Xun entering the palace.
He and Shui Rong couldn't deal with each other, and after the sweet potato incident, the two fought several times.
It seems that Shui Rong told him last time that it is not certain who will win and who will lose.
It turned out that he was here to trick the Supreme Emperor.
It's a dirty trick, okay, I'll let you suffer the consequences of being dumb this time.
"Brother Huang, what do you think of Lin Ruhai's daughter?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, Lin Ruhai is really a good candidate.
The Lin family only has one daughter left, and the only relative, the Jia family, is also useless. Wang Tingxuan is an orphan. No matter how great his achievements are, it will take decades for him to get up.
At that time, even if the people still remember his merits, how much can they remember?
Moreover, strictly speaking, Lin Ruhai can be regarded as a member of the Four Kings and a close confidant of the Supreme Emperor.
Lin Ruhai's son died young because he was loyal to the Supreme Emperor.
After calculating all the circumstances, the Supreme Emperor owed Lin Ruhai, and such a good marriage was enough to compensate Lin Ruhai.
The emperor was surprised. He didn't even think of Lin Ruhai. Why did King Zhongshun suddenly bring up Lin Ruhai? If he hadn't mentioned it, the marriage might not have happened to Lin Ruhai.
"How do you know Lin Ruhai's daughter?"
King Zhongshun would not reveal his plans and explained: "Aren't I planning to build a marquis mansion for Tingxuan? After searching around, I found that Lin Ruhai's yard is the most suitable for Tingxuan's yard. Originally, I
I planned to buy it from Lin Ruhai, but he didn’t want to sell it himself. I just thought, if you don’t want to sell it, I’m not willing to spend the money.”
The emperor's lips twitched and he said, "Aren't you afraid that Lin Ruhai will settle a score with you in the future?"
King Zhongshun said: "He is still asking me to settle accounts. I haven't asked him for the matchmaker money yet. Brother Emperor, just tell me what Lin Ruhai's daughter is like. As long as you nod, I will ask Lin Ruhai to thank me for the matchmaker money."
The emperor said: "Then let's go to Lin Ruhai. Apart from him, there is no suitable person. I just don't know who has such a big face that he can make Shuixun go to his father to intercede."
At this time, Dai Quan came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has sent someone to deliver a message. If you have nothing to do, please go to see the Supreme Emperor."
King Zhongshun asked: "Where is that boy Shuirong? Is he still in his father's palace?"
Dai Quan looked at the emperor and after getting his agreement, he said: "The Prince of Beijing is still in the palace of the Supreme Emperor."
"The evil spirit will not die. Brother Huang, let's go to Father's place and have a look. I also want to know who can hire Shui Rong."
