Zhu Youxiao considered their rights and interests entirely from their standpoint, and he rewarded them with money, food, and orders. He had already raised their status very high.
When the maids below heard what the emperor said, they all looked shocked.
The old palace maid who asked was also happy when she heard this. She had been in the palace for more than ten years, and her parents were no longer alive. She really didn't know where to go after leaving the palace.
Moreover, she also knew that she was still old and no one would be willing to marry her except those old men with poor family backgrounds. The best fate would be to continue to be a maid in a wealthy family.
Now, His Majesty has personally made the decision for them, so they don't have to worry anymore. I hope they can really find a good home.
Then several more palace maids raised questions, and Zhu Youxiao patiently answered them one by one, so that they did not have to worry about anything.
After receiving the emperor's personal assurance, the maids were completely relieved. Most of them were willing to obey the emperor's arrangements, but only a few still wanted to return to their hometown.
These people have not been in the palace for a long time, the longest period is only four years. They still have families to return to, and a good time is waiting for them.
As he said before, Zhu Youxiao rewarded them all the promised things in public and asked Yang Huan to arrange a carriage to escort them out of the city.
Before leaving, Zhu Youxiao told them again:
"You are all old people in the palace. Although I don't know you, you are more or less related to me. After you leave the palace, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't give face to the royal family or to me.
Up in the dark!"
When the other maids saw that the emperor kept his word, their trust in the emperor was once again strengthened. Unlike just now, they were talking and laughing now.
After the news that the emperor was going to hold a large-scale blind date reached the army, the sergeants beat gongs and drums in the military camp to celebrate, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Zhu Youxiao left all the selection matters to the British public Zhang Weixian. After final screening, more than 1,500 people were counted.
The law enforcement team will make the final decision based on their usual performance and behavior as well as their age. All those under the age of 20 will be eliminated.
They are still young and will still have opportunities in the future. The main types this time are those in their twenties and under forties, and they are more anxious.
Those who had violated the orders of superior officers, violated military law, and been punished by law enforcement teams were all eliminated, and in the end there were less than a thousand people left.
These thousand people are the protagonists of this blind date, and the palace maids are only more than half of them. Whether they can take a wife home has been given to them, and the platform has been set up for them. The rest can only be seen by themselves.
, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help them much.
Two days later, this unprecedented blind date hosted by the emperor himself was officially held in a camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
In order to find their right husbands, the maids dressed up extremely exquisitely. Although they were no longer in their 20s or 80s, they looked more mature at this time.
The sergeants of the Yulin Army, in accordance with the emperor's order, all wore military uniforms and carried swords at their waists, showing their most masculine side.
Naturally, the newspaper would not let go of such news that could make headlines. Under Wei Guangwei's instruction, the newspaper headquarters in the city sent out all the best painters and writers and waited outside the camp early in the morning.
"Look, look, it's coming, it's coming!"
A sergeant who was looking around at the gate of the camp saw the beautiful palace maids from a long distance away, and he was fascinated by them.
A law enforcement sergeant in charge of supervision kicked him down and shouted:
"What the hell are you lying here looking at? What's there to see? What does His Majesty's order say?"
The sergeant immediately ran back in a hurry. This was a big evil star. No one in the army was not afraid of it. Even their general had been punished, and they were even more afraid to death.
"When the people come, you should pay attention to your words and deeds. Communicate as you should. Don't act like a dog seeing shit. You are all His Majesty's personal soldiers. If you lose His Majesty's face, you will know the consequences!
"
A group of soldiers said loudly:
"only!"
This blind date lasted for a whole day. The ladies in court all found their favorite spouses, and the soldiers who were able to hold beautiful wives were very happy.
As for those who didn't, they all beat their chests and said it was a pity in their hearts. Some even refused to give up and ran to ask the supervising law enforcement officer if anyone was still missing.
The ruthless law enforcement officer gave them a desperate answer, no.
Some people will be happy and some will be sad about this blind date, but it finally achieved a more satisfactory result, and everything went as Zhu Youxiao imagined.
…
After the blind date, Zhang Weixian immediately entered the palace with the statistical list.
"Your Majesty, the blind date has ended. This is the list of successful blind dates!"
Zhu Youxiao took a brief look and said:
"Prepare their marriage matters as early as possible, and follow the folk standards. Not too high, not too low, just within the rules. But you must have everything you need, don't be short of anything."
"Their life will be decided before me. Two good restaurants in the inner city will be designated as their wedding rooms. I will provide all the money and food!"
"Once these are decided, we can start preparations. I will personally solemnize their marriage at the Meridian Gate!"
"Your Majesty, are these days a little tight? The most important thing right now is your Majesty's wedding. Their wedding can be postponed!"
"Is there such a thing as being the first emperor in this world? This is really against etiquette and law. I dare to ask Your Majesty to think twice before doing this. Furthermore, none of the officials will agree!"
Zhu Youxiao's wedding is not far away, just five days later. If you want to make it before then, you have to do it two days in advance.
And the wedding date is actually before the emperor? How can that be done? Even though Zhang Weixian is a die-hard supporter of Zhu Youxiao, he has to speak out against it now. This is really against the rules and messes with the sacred laws of his ancestors.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and realized that what the British father said was indeed true. He was about to get married and they were indeed not suitable at the moment.
Some things really cannot be considered from the perspective of modern thinking. They must be in line with the times. These basic rules and etiquette cannot be broken.
He added:
"I was negligent. My father-in-law should think more carefully. Let's wait until after my wedding and make other arrangements. However, we still need to prepare what we need to prepare, and we can't slack off because of postponement."
