Wanli Xinming

Chapter 339
On August 13th of the [-]th year of Wanli, the emperor issued a decree to appoint the crown prince, and Qin Tianjian gave the time very quickly this time: three days later, that is, August [-]th.

On the same day, the gate of the Hall of Emperor Huangji opened wide, and the internal officials set up the emperor's throne and incense table in the hall, and there was a pavilion on the west side of the worship seat on the Dan wall outside the hall.

The emperor wears the crown.The robes are Xuanyi and robes: the six chapters of the clothes are woven with the sun, moon, stars, chen, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects (flowers and birds patterns); , fire, powder rice (pollen, rice grain), 综 (axe-like pattern), 综 (press: black and green pattern); the middle single is made of plain yarn, red Luo covers the knee, weaving fire, dragon, mountain three chapters ; red scoops with red socks.

Leather belt jade: the two sides of the large belt are made of edge, with Zhu brocade on the top and green brocade below; ; The small ribbon is in three colors, the same as the big ribbon; with jade hook, jade pendant, golden hook and jade ring.

The crown of the emperor: the round cap is covered with a flat plate, the front is round and the back is covered with soap gauze.There are 12 strands on the front and back of the pan, that is, 12 multicolored silk ropes, each with 12 colorful jade beads, each one inch apart.There are red silk ropes hanging on the left and right sides of the tassels as tassels, and topaz is hung on the tassels, hanging beside the ears.This is the ear.

The so-called "seal the ears, cover the front", means to plug the ears with cotton balls, and use the jade string to cover the front and back. The ills of the ear, the eyes and the ears are far reaching the meaning of the four directions - the idiom of "deaf ears", although the meanings are different, but also developed from the ears.

The clothing system of Gunmian began in "Zhou Li", went through the Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, and continued until the Ming Dynasty, stretching for more than 2000 years.After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they replaced it with a pearl-topped gold medal drooping trumpet hat, a round collar double-breasted, and a round dragon and flat sleeves.

The six-year-old Prince Luo wears the Crown Prince Gong Mian: similar to what Zhu Yijun wore: the crown is nine, five chapters of Xuanyi, four chapters of clothes, and so on. sinking.

On the east side of the pavilion, there are eight palace officials, in the west of the hall there is a succession of officials, and in the northeast of the hall, there is a Xuanzhi official.In the east of the hall, there are officials holding the edict. In the hall, there are two officials in the north, east and west facing the throne, and two officials in the east and west on the south side of the Dan Ma, standing opposite each other.The royal family, nobles, civil and military officials are all dressed in formal attire. The east and the west stand facing each other, watching the officials and checking the appearance.

Because Prince Luo was young, Zhu Yijun was afraid that he would be hot in thick clothes, so he arranged the ceremony when the sun was rising.According to the calculated time, the emperor set out from the Jinshen Temple Chengyu.

Police all the way, leading the internal officials to lead, and the female officer of the treasure supervisor lined up behind with 24 treasure seals, surrounded by attendants on the left and right, cranking the Luo cover, and the pheasant feather palace fan, to the Huangji Hall.

At this time, Danbi East and Dan Chi East have already displayed the honor guards, and there are mighty horses, tigers and leopards, etc. Dan Chi Nan is listed in the court orchestra and plays the chapter of neutralization.Shao Le is dignified and elegant, with golden sounds and jade vibrations, and eight tones harmoniously.

The emperor ascended his seat to the sound of music.Four leading officials in solemn costumes led Prince Zhu Changhao of Luo into Fengtianmen, and stood in front of the main hall.

The celebrants stood on the left and right of Prince Luo, and one of them shouted loudly: "Bow!" The child bowed.

The successor knelt down and asked the emperor for the system, and Zhu Yijun said, "Yes." So the successor stood up, stood outside the door, and shouted, "You have the system."The celebrant shouted: "Kneel"! Prince Luo hurriedly knelt down.

The propaganda official announced: "The emperor establishes the heir, but the heir. It has been revealed in the universe, not only has been personally learned, but the voice of virtue has spread all over the world. The sun is shining brightly, and God has bestowed courage and wisdom. Above it is enough to tell the ancestors for thousands of years. , I hope you will never forget the difficulty of our ancestors creating Hongji, and always remember the importance of my bow and responsibilities, this system!"

Prince Luo is eight years old, six years old, how can he understand the words, anyway, just follow the movements that have been practiced.First bowed, then bowed down and flattened, and answered in a loud voice, "My son follows the order." After speaking, he bowed again under the guidance of the celebrant, and bowed to Zhu Yijun on the throne of Dan Ma.

After the proclamation ceremony, the celebrant announces the salute.So the ceremonial officer led Zhu Changhao to enter the hall through the east gate of the hall.Take him to the throne and kneel down.

Then the book holder knelt down in front of the case to hold the book, and solemnly handed it over to the book book treasurer.After the Zanguan announced the reading, the reading treasure official knelt down and read the book.After reading, the book was handed over to Prime Minister Zhang Siwei, who gave the book to Prince Luo on his knees - when Zhu Yijun looked down on the throne, almost all the movements of everyone were done kneeling.

Zhu Changhao took the treasure book, indicating that he accepted the book, and then handed the treasure book to the inner envoy holding the book.Bao was also granted to him in accordance with the same etiquette procedure as the book, and Zhu Changhao then handed it over to Pengshou book and Bao's inner envoy. At this time, Prince Luo had legally become the crown prince-the etiquette related to Zhu Yijun ended.

Then, the crown prince came out, bowed down, and flattened to the sound of the chanting officer singing the order.Holding the book, Bao Nei's envoy led him and led him out of the hall.The inner envoy put the book and treasure into the book treasure pavilion, and the crown prince turned around and bowed before His Majesty Dan, and solemnly bowed four times.

Afterwards, the inner envoy went to Baoting to move forward.The crown prince leaves Fengtianmen.The book and Baoting were carried into the Qingning Palace, the East Palace, under the advocacy of the guard of honor and the welcome of hundreds of officials.Because the crown prince is young, this is still a matter of etiquette, and the crown prince still has to live with the queen in Kunning Palace.

After the treasures and books were placed in the Qingning Palace, the crown prince's etiquette was only half completed.He then took the Crown Prince Yu to the Central Palace to thank the Empress, and then paid homage to the ancestral temple and paid tribute to the ancestors. Along the way, the people of the capital who received the information stood in the aisle, competing to see the appearance of the future emperor.

Although Zhu Yijun had already instructed the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to speed up their ceremonial actions, it was almost noon when they were done.Zhu Changhao was exhausted because of his heavy clothes and many canonization ceremonies.Forced by Queen Zhuang to eat a few bites of lunch, the prince fell asleep before taking off his clothes.

Zhu Yijun finished his official business in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When he returned to Kunning Palace for dinner at noon, he saw his eldest son sleeping soundly on the couch. He smiled wryly at Empress Zhuang, "Although Huaxia has great etiquette and beautiful clothes, it is too tiring."

The excited blush on Empress Zhuang's face has not completely dissipated, and she turned a deaf ear to the prince and muttered: "He looks very much like Your Majesty, you see, he looks especially like when he sleeps. Back then, a courtier and concubine had a piece of meat in the stomach, and now she is the crown prince. It's like a dream."
