Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
It is basically impossible to eliminate such conflicts, because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be conflicts.
As long as there are people, there will be conflicts. Everyone has their own ideas and things they want to do.
When neither can convince the other, the only option is to knock the other down; if the other continues to shout while lying on the ground, the only option is to kill him.
So Zhu Youxiao was not going to interfere. He could prepare for his marriage peacefully, and after getting married he could start doing what he wanted to do.
At least these people in the court are capable and will not hold him back. Even if some things are difficult, it will be much easier to exert pressure from top to bottom.
If you don't do well, I can replace you. The emperor above is so awesome.
As long as he could suppress the cabinet ministers and the six ministers, the others could be suppressed by them.
This bureaucratic system is one level down, one level down. As an emperor, I can't reach down to the local level; my arms aren't that long.
The royal wedding etiquette was so complicated that it even made Zhu Youxiao feel a little painful.
However, it still needs to be done meticulously, because it represents respect for the queen. Zhu Youxiao does not want his harem to be in chaos, so he has to establish the prestige of the queen at this time.
If an emperor has a queen with high prestige in his inner palace, there will basically be no chaos.
Because no one dared to challenge the queen's status. Only when the emperor lost fairness, failed to establish prestige for the queen, and turned to favor other concubines or other eunuchs, would chaos arise in the palace.
Once there is chaos in the palace, a very bad situation will arise, which is the struggle among the harem.
Once the harem starts to struggle, anything can happen, so Zhu Youxiao would never allow his harem to become chaotic.
This is what happened when Zhu Youxiao killed Ke Baba before.
In the original history, the harem struggle between Empress Zhang and Kebaba was nothing more than a fight for dominance in the harem, a fight for who could speak into Zhu Youxiao's ear.
Everyone knows how powerful a woman's whispering is to a man, let alone the emperor's.
So some people say that Empress Zhang's child was aborted by Kebaba, and Zhu Youxiao tends to believe this.
Since there was no health problem with Empress Zhang and Zhu Youxiao, pregnancy was a natural possibility. Facts also prove that Zhu Youxiao did have several children.
Then why was the child taken away by Kebaba?
Because once Empress Zhang gave birth to a child, her child would be the crown prince, and both the mother and the son would be honored.
What could Kebaba do to fight Empress Zhang at that time? So Kebaba did not dare to let Empress Zhang give birth to the child.
So a series of messy things happened in the harem, mainly revolving around the struggle for power between Kebaba and Queen Zhang.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao killed Kebaba as soon as he traveled through time was that he didn't want her to cause trouble in his harem.
Regardless of whether the historical records about Kebaba were true or false, Zhu Youxiao did not want to take any risks, so he killed Kebaba directly.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and spoke respectfully.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at his ceremonial attire and nodded gently. It was almost time for him to set off.
The wedding has already progressed through several steps. This step is critical and I cannot delay it.
The ministers had already gone to the Taimiao to worship heaven and earth, and the three rituals of accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gifts, and announcing the date of the wedding had also been performed. Today was the official wedding day.
Zhu Youxiao had to wear his imperial crown and take his seat, while civil and military officials had to wear their court robes to perform the ceremony. Then the chief and deputy envoys of the wedding would go to greet the bride, Empress Zhang.
The welcoming process was also very complicated, with many routes and etiquette. However, Zhu Youxiao did not have to participate, he could wait in the palace.
After the bride was brought back, the imperial decree was issued to confer the title of empress on her, followed by some enthronement ceremonies.
After the enthronement ceremony was over, Zhu Youxiao had to change into the imperial crown and the empress had to change into her formal dress, and then they would go to Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the emperor's ancestral temple. Only after the visit was completed could they return to the palace.
After returning to the palace, they have to drink the wedding wine together.
Zhu Youxiao had to change clothes several times that day. You have to know that this is not the later generations' suits that can be taken off and changed. Just changing clothes several times was very tiring for him.
The wedding wine is not just a simple drink; it is a ceremony followed by entering the bridal chamber.
Do you think that everything is over once you enter the bridal chamber?
Not really, there was more to come. The entire wedding lasted for 5 days, which was a huge challenge to the emperor's mental and physical strength.
After a busy day, when night fell, Zhu Youxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, it’s time for the much-anticipated moment of entering the bridal chamber.
