As the saying goes, there are two unforgettable happy events in life, one is "wedding night" and the other is "being the first time". In the fourth year of Dazhong (850), Zheng Hao, the top scholar, married Princess Wanshou, becoming the only top scholar in history. But on this big day, Zheng Hao was unhappy. He hated Bai Min, the prime minister and matchmaker. Why didn't Zheng Hao want him to be a Bai Minzhong with a horse?
In the 12th year of Yuanhe (8 years), Zheng Hao was born in Xingyang County, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, the son of Zheng Zhide, the minister of the Ministry of War. As the Zheng family in Xingyang was a famous aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, it received a good education since childhood and was very smart when it was a child, which was praised by scholars and said that he would be outstanding in the future.
Second, the exam champion
In the second year of Huichang (842), 25-year-old Zheng Hao went to Chang 'an, the capital city, to take the imperial examination, and won the first place in one fell swoop. Therefore, Zheng Hao became famous in the capital and became a young talent in the eyes of everyone. Since then, he has entered the official career, and has served as a school book boy and a right gleaner. It can be said that he is full of enthusiasm and a young man has achieved success.
In 848, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wanshou, died. When they got married, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty liked this daughter very much, so he wanted to find a good husband for her in a big family. So he handed the task of choosing a husband to Prime Minister Bai Min, and found that Zheng Haoren was very talented and promising, so he recommended him to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw that Zheng Hao was born in a noble family and was very literary, so he was very satisfied with him. Bai Minzhong also highly recommended him, saying that Zheng Hao and Princess Wanshou are a match made in heaven. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made up his mind to marry her maiden daughter Zheng Hao. However, Tang Xuanzong knew that the aristocratic hall was worried that the princess was unruly and unwilling to marry the royal family, so he asked Bai Minzhong for countermeasures.
Bai Minzhong then proposed that Tang Xuanzong give a personal letter directly. Zheng Hao did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders, so he agreed to give the wedding letter directly to the Zheng family.
Third, marry a princess.
At that time, Zheng Hao was engaged to john young Lushi's daughter and was on her way to the wedding reception. When Bai Minzhong learned of this incident, he quickly sent someone to kill Zheng Hao, asking him to withdraw his engagement with john young's Lushi and go back to Chang 'an to marry Princess Zheng Hao. The princess was very angry about this, but she was afraid to disobey, so she had to send someone to john young Lushi to break off her engagement, and then go back to Chang 'an to prepare for her marriage with the princess.
In February of the fourth year of Dazhong (850), Zheng Hao officially married Princess Wanshou, and was named Dr. Qing Guanglu and a captain with a horse attached to his house. On the wedding day, it was a double happiness, but Zheng Hao was not happy. He resented Bai Minzhong for ruining his beautiful marriage and ignored his wife Princess Wanshou.
One day, Zheng Hao's younger brother Zheng Yi was seriously ill. Zheng Hao is very worried about this. Princess Wanshou, as Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, didn't care. As usual, she went to see a play in Jean Temple and sent a physician to treat Zheng Yi. When she learned about Princess Wanshou, she said angrily, "No wonder the scholar-officials don't want to marry the royal family. This is the reason. "
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty called Princess Wanshou into the palace and stared at her without saying a word. Princess Wanshou burst into tears and knelt down to apologize to her father. Tang Xuanzong then said, "Did any family members get sick and go to the theatre?" . "Then Tang Xuanzong sent his daughter back to the Zheng family and told her to abide by women's morality. Princess Wanshou restrained her unruly and willful temper and obeyed Zheng Hao.
Fourth, I deeply hate matchmakers.
For five years, I was sensitive and avoided phase. In order to divide the capital of Ningdu, it was said that day, "Your majesty's daughter is married to your minister, and your husband, Zheng Hao, is going to Chuzhou. There will be a one-day tour of Zhengzhou, and the minister will reply to the mail and participate in the Deputy Shengsi. I'm not satisfied with the national marriage. I'm in the middle school and I'm nothing like a minister. When you get to the jade steps, you will die of evil. On the last day, I said, "I have known this for a long time. Why are you too late?"? "
I was ordered to get a letter from Xiao Mu from the temple, which was locked tightly, saying that I was sensitive to China and Japan: "Zheng Lang said you wrote it, so I gave it to you. If you had listened to Yan Hao, you wouldn't be so arrogant! " After becoming Xu, he repeatedly called in front of him to slander Bai Minzhong. Knowing Zheng's intentions, he didn't believe what he said.
In 1985, Bai Minzhong was appointed as our ambassador to Yongning, fearing that Zheng Hao would set himself up, so he said when seeing off Tang Xuanzong: "Zheng Hao doesn't want to marry a princess, and he hates my guts. I am in the imperial court, and he can't do anything to me. " Tang Xuanzong replied: "I have known it for a long time. I'm afraid it's a little late for Ai Qing to speak. "
Then, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered someone to bring a small box, took out the memorials inside and said, "These are the memorials for impeaching Zheng Hao, and I gave them to you. If I believe him, how can I use you? "
