"I can fight for three years with six million taels, why is it so extravagant? Is there someone from the Ministry of Rites who borrowed me to make a fortune during my wedding?" Fulin questioned Fan Wencheng.

After hearing the emperor's childish question, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, no one dares to extend his hand to the emperor's wedding with the courage of the three slaves. The emperor's wedding is a unique ritual, and it costs more and also demonstrates the royal decent need."

"There are strong enemies outside and the tigers are watching the tiger. The people are living in poverty. There are too many places to spend money. I don't want this decent. If the order is sent, this letter is not allowed to be approved. The Ministry of Rites re-programmed, and all costs are not allowed to exceed one million taels. In fact, this one million taels is not enough, which is enough for 300,000 people to eat for a year." Fulin said without hesitation.

"This, the emperor, one million taels are probably not allowed. The bride price is 100,000 taels, the grand brigade gift is 300,000 taels, the ceremony, the ceremony, the celebration gift and the banquet gift are 100,000 taels, the wedding items, the makeup box and the bedroom should be prepared with gold and silver utensils, and the labor price is about 5 million taels, which cannot be saved." Fan Wencheng said.

"The rest remains unchanged. The items used in weddings, makeup boxes and bedrooms should be prepared with gold and silver utensils. This not only shows the royal dignity, but also costs not much. I have face, so it doesn't matter whether the inside is wanted." Fulin waved his big knife and cut four million utensils on the items.

The silver used for people to show people is a little bit more, but the empress's utensils are a little shabby.

"Emperor, one million taels is really less. The queen's court clothes, robes, jackets and other gold, silver and jewelry are more than 500,000 pieces. It costs at least 500,000 taels to buy these." Fan Wencheng still complained.

"What should I do with so many gold, silver and jewelry on my clothes? There should be no more than eighteen jewelry pieces in each piece of clothing. Just do it like this." Fulin frowned and said.

"Emperor, I think other things can be saved. The empress's clothes are not good-looking. The empress's face may not be happy." Sony was Bulftai's confidant, and he naturally heard the profound meaning of Fulin's arrangement. He was afraid that the empress dowager would have a rift with the emperor, and that the empress will be in a disagreement in the future, so he quickly advised and stopped the emperor.

"The Empress Dowager is extremely simple and does not value luxury. She will definitely appreciate my arrangements. As for the Queen, she will understand my painstaking efforts with me and my wife. Sony, don't worry too much." Fu Lin raised her eyebrows and said loudly.

Sony and Fan Wencheng heard what the emperor said, and he would not dare to talk too much, so he responded only by himself.

"Sony, the most important thing now is not my wedding, but a firearm. If we cannot make a firearm, we cannot compete with Zhu Youlang. I ask you, have you found a general translation?" Fulin skipped the wedding and then asked Sony.

"I have found the words of the emperor and sent them to the capital within three days." Sony replied.

Upon hearing this news, Fulin finally had a smile on his face, leaned forward, and said to Sony: "Very good. Sony, you must try your best to make Hatis speak. As long as he gives out the secret of making firearms, high-ranking officials and generous salaries, beautiful women can let them make requests, and you must also try your best to be content with him. As long as you build a steel gun, even if you only create mines and grenades, our army can compete with the Ming army for a while."

"Yes, the servant knows the importance of the emperor and will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations." Sony replied.

...

After the discussion, the four auxiliary ministers went down. Fulin returned to the Donghun Pavilion, took out Dong Xiaowan's self-portrait and stared at him in a daze.

When he was busy, he didn't care about it. As soon as he was free, Fulin would take out Dong Xiaowan's image. Only at this time will the deep thoughts and a heavy sense of powerlessness hit his heart. These two emotions will entangle each other and will eventually turn into an unspeakable pain, biting his heart like a little bug.

"Your Majesty, I have found out clearly. Prince Xiang's mansion has been scheduled to carry Dong E into the palace in five days." Wu Liangfu knew his master's intentions. Seeing Fulin dazed, he hurried forward and quietly reported.

"Oh? So fast? I'm going to make the rice cooked before my wedding. This is to cut off my thoughts. Haha, okay, Boguoer, since you dare to steal women from me, then you can just wait to bear my anger." Fulin lowered Dong Xiaowan's portrait when he heard this. A paranoid anger made him secretly hate his half-brother, and said to himself: "I can't disobey my mother, can't you still disgust you?"

"Your Majesty Hu, the eunuch of Cining Palace, is here." At this moment, a young eunuch came in to report.

"Let him come in." Fulin ordered.

"Yeah!" The little eunuch went out. After a while, Hu Jinzhong bent over and stepped in. When he saw the emperor, he shook his horse's hoof sleeves twice and hit him one thousand times: "The emperor is lucky."

"Hu Jinzhong, what are you doing?" Fulin asked.

"Reply to the emperor's words, I will follow the empress dowager's orders and ask the emperor to come and go to Cining Palace." Hu Jinzhong replied cautiously.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go there right away." Fulin raised his eyebrows and said to Hu Jinzhong after hearing this.

"Oh." Hu Jinzhong retreated.

"Wu Liangfu, check it carefully. Which brave slave is a good person?" As soon as Hu Jinzhong left, Fulin ordered in a deep voice.

It was obvious that the Empress Dowager must have contacted herself for the expenses of her wedding. As soon as she finished discussing the matter here, she knew that there must be an empress dowager's eyewitness in the Qianqing Palace.

“Wait.”

Wu Liangfu felt a little "sudden" when he heard this. The emperor, the empress dowager's mother and son were not leaving. They would definitely not feel good as slaves, especially eunuchs like him and Hu Jinzhong. Maybe at any time, the anger of these two big names will fall on them.

Fulin expected that it was not bad, and the Empress Dowager invited him over to spend money on the wedding.

"Son of the emperor, I heard that you have cut off most of the wedding expenses. This is not OK. Not to mention whether the queen has any ideas, even our royal family is not good-looking."

Since the mother and son quarrel that day, the son has never smiled again. Bulftai knew that her son was not happy, so she naturally did not want to make the relationship between mother and son tense. Therefore, although her son significantly reduced the expenses of a big marriage and this matter was like treating her own anger, she still tried her best to reason with her as calm as possible.
