Even the folk song "Ten Funny" in the capital did not forget to sneer: "Ten funny, the son-in-law will change the world newspaper".
The eunuch who tortured Princess Yongchun was also not punished.
Since then, the eunuchs have intensified their efforts to accept bribes by taking advantage of the opportunity of selecting a son-in-law.
Finally, in the Wanli Dynasty, Princess Yongning was killed again.
In the tenth year of Wanli, the local tyrant Liang Bangrui suddenly wanted to get a son-in-law for fun when he was dying of serious illness.
So he relied on his family's wealth to bribe the eunuch Feng Bao with tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After Feng Bao received the bribe, he immediately spoke for Liang Bangrui in front of Wanli.
Because Feng Bao was one of the most powerful officials at that time, no one in the court dared to tell the truth about Liang Bangrui's serious illness.
Even Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, strongly agreed with Feng Bao's opinion.
With Feng Bao's help, Liang Bangrui successfully married Princess Yongning.
Unexpectedly, Liang Bangrui was so seriously ill that he had a nosebleed at the wedding scene, which left the guests dumbfounded.
Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, the eunuchs were quick to wit, and told Wanli that seeing blood in a marriage was a good omen, and easily turned a bad thing into a good one.
Unfortunately, although the seriously ill Liang Bangrui married the princess as he wished, he was unable to complete his married life.
What was even worse was Princess Yongning. Liang Bangrui passed away less than a month after their marriage.
The eunuch disrupted the selection process for the son-in-law and brought endless distress to the princesses.
And after the marriage, the nanny intervened in the couple's life, which became the bitter blood and tears of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the princess and her son-in-law did not live together. If the princess wanted to see her son-in-law, she had to send someone to summon her.
However, the nanny in the princess mansion has become a river between the princess and the son-in-law.
After the son-in-law is called to come, he must give good things to the mother, and the mother will pass the news to let him go.
Sometimes when Mammy is in a bad mood or dislikes too few benefits, the son-in-law is doomed to be shut down.
Because most of the nuns around these princesses are senior employees in the palace, they have a very wide network of contacts.
Therefore, even if the princess knew that Mammy was up to no good, she would not dare to offend Mammy easily.
During the Wanli period, Princess Shouning, the daughter of Concubine Zheng, couldn't bear the interference of the nanny, so she had a private meeting with the concubine in the room when the nanny was away.
Unexpectedly, the news was accidentally leaked, and the nanny beat and scolded the princess and his wife directly when she found out.
Princess Shouning felt aggrieved, and ran into the palace to complain to Concubine Zheng, and at the same time, the son-in-law also went to complain to Wanli.
After the nun heard about it, she calmly contacted her old man in the palace.
The villain first complained in front of Concubine Zheng, saying that the princess was disobedient and shameless, and Concubine Zheng was so angry that she refused to see her daughter.
It was even worse for the son-in-law. The mother-in-law found a familiar eunuch to beat the son-in-law severely.
He sued the son-in-law fiercely in front of Wanli. As a result, the son-in-law was not only bullied by the nanny, but also asked by Wanli to resign from his post and reflect on himself.
The mother's interference in the private life of the princess can be seen from this.
Procreating offspring was a major event in the life of the ancients, but the nanny overshadowed the sky with one hand and wantonly interfered in the princess's married life, which seriously affected the princess's fertility.
Gradually, families with slightly better conditions were reluctant to participate in the consort election, which also made the quality of the consort's personnel more and more unsatisfactory.
Under the joint intervention of eunuchs and nuns, the marriage situation of the princesses in the Ming Dynasty went from bad to worse.
After all, although the princess is good, but the grass is all over the world, why should the son-in-law get involved in the royal family and suffer endless troubles?
The three princesses were very lucky, they were glad that their father did not choose their son-in-law by sea.
Instead, select candidates directly from the young generals of Ming Dynasty for several years.
In this way, at least they will not repeat the tragedy of the former princess.
Although Zhu Youjian is not very clear about the process of selecting a son-in-law, he will never let his children's marriage be at the mercy of the eunuch.
Seeing that Kunxing and the others finally admitted that they were very satisfied with the son-in-law, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, since you have no objection, the emperor will give you marriages right away."
Princess Kunxing and the three hurriedly knelt down to thank:
"Thank you, father, for making it happen!"
Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to support the three princesses, turned around and said to the eunuch:
"According to my decree, from today onwards, the Ming Dynasty will abolish the system of consort audition. Princesses can fall in love freely, and they can also have marriages bestowed by the emperor and introduced by other elders."
"According to the purpose"
Another ancestral precept was directly canceled by Zhu Youjian.
After being confirmed by the princess, Zhu Youjian immediately sent Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo and Xia Wanchun to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.
Soon, the three young pillars of the Ming Dynasty came to Qianqing Palace with anxiety.
This time Zhu Youjian didn't meet them alone, but asked the three of them to meet together.
Seeing the emperor looking at the three with a smile on his face, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, and Xia Wanchun hurried forward to salute:
"Zheng Chenggong"
"Li Dingguo"
"Xia Wanchun"
"See Your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian now sees that these three are no longer generals under his command, and they are more kind, and they will soon be sons-in-law.
"The three lovers are exempt from courtesy, and they are flat! Give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
After thanking them, the three sat down carefully, waiting for the emperor's instructions at any time.
Zhu Youjian glanced at them again before slowly speaking:
"You told me earlier that none of you have wives, right?"
