Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 472
The palace became lively, and a large part of the reason was that today's day was going to be generous, so naturally it would not be stingy at this time, let's not talk about splendor inside and outside the palace, but what should be prepared still needs to be prepared.

Even if Lao Zhu took the initiative to undertake part of the ceremony, it didn't mean that Zhu Yunying could be completely lazy.

Old Zhu, who was wearing the emperor's crown, walked in front, and Zhu Yunying, who was also the emperor's twelve crown, followed behind.As for Xiao Xiaozhu, he was also wearing the crown prince's crown robe. This was an extremely important occasion, and it was to worship the Taimiao.

In fact, Xiao Zhu is holding Da Zhu's tablet in his arms, and this is to invite the ancestral tablet from the Fengxian Hall to the Taimiao.This is the official sacrifice, so it is naturally extremely serious, and there must be no sloppyness.

From Lao Zhu down, as long as they are in Yingtian Mansion's clan of the right age, they all want to come here.Of course, there are requirements for this, and of course only males can do it.Not to mention gender discrimination, even a few hundred years later, women are not allowed to go to ancestral halls in many places.

"The minister Zhu Yuanzhang dared to declare to the God of Taishe and the God of Taiji: God only praises and assists the emperor. When Jiagu and grains occur, I will govern the people. Forever. I would like to use jade and silk as a sacrifice to make a living together and to prosper the common goods. Prepare for the sacrifice, and enjoy..."

Lao Zhu has a serious face, this is worshiping Jiangshan Sheji.Next, there are many ancient sages and sages, which also need to be worshiped.All of these require the emperor to sacrifice in person. After all, this is the official sacrifice, and there should be no sloppy.

Zhu Yunying didn't bother, this kind of sacrifice was a serious matter, so naturally he couldn't be careless.

After this kind of sacrifice, in fact Zhu Yunying still needs to go to the Fengtian Hall to ascend the hall, and all the civil and military officials also want to pay homage to the emperor.This kind of ceremony is not superfluous at all, which is probably the so-called sense of ceremony.

"In the third year of Yingshi, the Shangyu Fengtian Palace received a feast of imperial congratulations, and the ministers ordered their wives and empresses to hold a tin banquet in Kunning Palace!"

Little Zhu's voice was crisp and clear, and she said loudly to the ministers.

Amidst the sound of rites and music, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu walked into Fengtian Hall in dragon robes, and sat on dragon chairs with a smile.

There are rules when toasting, and there are rules about the dishes.This is not only the case of the Ming Dynasty, China has always been a country of ritual and music, so it is very particular about these things.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere is good. After all, this is not a court, and it is more of a feast at this time.It's just that at such a moment, one can also see the closeness or status in the emperor's mind.

For example, Chang Mao, Xu Huizu and others, both of whom can get food from the emperor.Not only because of the status of Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, but also because they are uncles of the emperor and prince.

Marquis Guo Ying of Wuding and Marquis Geng Bingwen of Changxing, these two veterans are also rare founding veterans in the imperial court, so gifting vegetables is naturally indispensable.

It also includes Mei Yin and other son-in-laws or honored queens, who should be given some dignity.Fu Youde and Lan Yu are training abroad, so their offspring will naturally get some preferential treatment.

As for Zhu Yunying's confidants Ru Yu and others, whether it was out of trust in them or because of their position in the upper echelon, they would give food when it was time to give food.This is not only a favor, but also a political signal.

In Kunning Palace, Xu Miaoqing said to Sang with her pregnant belly, "The emperor opened the mansion in the early years, thanks to his grandmother and aunt to take care of him, you go to offer a toast to the three aunts."

Sang Shi was naturally obedient, and Feng Sheng's daughter Feng Shi also got up quickly.Although she is the emperor's eldest aunt, her eldest son is going to inherit the title of Duke Kaiping, and her second son is going to inherit the title of Duke Song of Feng Sheng, but she dare not take the title in front of Sang.

The Feng family is like this, let alone Chang Sheng and Chang Sen's wives, they are even more afraid to pose as the emperor's aunt.In fact, Sang's status is high enough, even if she is only from a middle-class family, but who made her be Princess Wu now.

In the previous dynasty, it was natural that the emperor and all civil and military officials were having a feast, and it seemed that the overall atmosphere was relatively warm.It's just that on such an occasion, no one dares to really relax completely. It seems that they are eating and drinking, but no one will open up to eat and drink.

Even Xiao Zhu, who seemed a little lawless, was not completely unrestrained in such an occasion.

Children are young, but don't think that children don't understand everything.At most, they don't have much patience and concentration, and they can't understand more about many things.

As for the Kunning Palace, although it is not as serious as the previous dynasty, the wives can also laugh a little bit.

It's just that they are also very clear that status is the most important thing in a place like the imperial palace, and their words and deeds not only represent their individuals, but also their families, and represent the palaces of princes, dukes, and marquises. Careless.

Although it seems to be detained, it cannot be completely released.Even many wives of dukes and wives who are high above their own mansions can only stay low and be petty in the palace, flattering and flattering.

It's just that for these wives, they will never have any dissatisfaction.

Being able to come to the palace to participate in the banquet is a manifestation of identity, and it also represents the status of their husband's family.If they were not allowed to attend the New Year's banquet, it would be too much for people to think about.You will feel that you will either lose power or be left out by the emperor.

Xu Miaoqing's mood was a bit complicated. Her eldest sister-in-law Li, second sister-in-law Sun, and third sister-in-law Mu could only submit to her as ministers, and they all behaved very well.In the palace, there are only monarchs and ministers, and there is little family affection.

The banquet is over, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little, now only the family banquet is left.

There are red lanterns everywhere in the palace, and there is no shortage of lantern mountains piled up in the shape of giant turtles in the palace.The court ladies and eunuchs who came and went also put on new clothes one by one. This is a scene of Chinese New Year.

"Go and set off the fireworks!" Little Zhu ran ahead and couldn't help yelling, "Hurry up, Wang Daban is not going to pass the decree yet."

Wang Chengen had a troubled expression on his face, it was only afternoon.It is said that the fireworks and firecrackers must wait until dark before going.Just thinking about it, it was the crown prince of the current dynasty who made the decree, how could Wang Chengen dare to say anything.

"Go and set off some fireworks, just a little less." Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, and said, "Otherwise, if you don't know who will be beaten during the Chinese New Year, we may also be scolded."

There is no way, little Zhu's backing is too powerful, Zhu Yunying can only avoid his edge, and dare not go against it at all.

Wang Chengen was naturally ready to set off the fireworks, and the emperor's decree meant that everything was easy to say.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, probably because he saw his children and grandchildren gathered together.Although it doesn't mean that everyone has come, it's just that basically all who can come have come. Of course, Lao Zhu is quite gratified.

"Fifth." Lao Zhu looked back and said, "Come to us and see what kind of virtue our fifth is now."

Zhu Wei was a little embarrassed, probably because his father didn't give face at all.Even though he is about to be 40 years old, he can only be a good son in front of Lao Zhu.

"We've heard that you're editing books." Old Zhu was quite relieved, and said to Zhu Huan, "Now our son is promising and can do something, instead of thinking about running around all day long. .”

Zhu Wei was a little embarrassed, and said, "Father, my son did some ridiculous things when he was young and ignorant. Now that I say it like this, my son doesn't look good. We have sons and grandchildren, and we still look forward to seeing Father." Show some respect."

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and said to Zhu Wei, "Are you afraid that people will say you have done something ugly?"

After saying this, Old Zhu looked at Zhu Shangbing and the others, "Shang Bing, Ji Xi, Zhao Hui, come here, we are going to test you."

These three inherited the Qin, Jin, and Lu kings and were the second-generation princes of the Ming Dynasty, which naturally meant that Lao Zhu also had to pay a little attention to these grandchildren.

Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, and helped his cousins ​​out, "Grandpa Huang, it's Chinese New Year, what's the matter with the school exam at this time! If you perform well, you can have a good year. If you don't perform well, they probably lose interest. You are not happy either."

Lao Zhu thought about it for the same reason, and said with a smile, "Success, these few are successful or not, let's take the school exam later. Whether they are promising or not, these are your younger brothers, and it's your turn." This brother is in charge and teaching."

Zhu Shangbing and the others could be regarded as relieved, they were also the grandsons of Emperor Hongwu, and they were even the princes of the Ming Dynasty, but they were still very afraid in front of Emperor Hongwu.Old Zhu had a serious face, and their calves were all cramped.

It's just that these few are also very admired and envious of their cousins. I am afraid that their cousins ​​dare to speak like this in front of the emperor's grandfather.Speaking of which, Grandpa Huang seems to have always only liked their cousin.

"This Chinese New Year, no one is going to study!" Little Zhu suddenly ran back and rushed to Lao Zhu, "If we are asked to recite books, we will have a bad New Year! Take a break, let's all take a rest!"

Old Zhu picked up little Zhu with a smile, and said, "You useless little thing, you are a rogue in front of us as soon as you hear about the school exam?"

Not far away, Zhu Yunxi lowered his head. What he was worried about was that the emperor's grandpa would test him after his cousins ​​were tested.So this is the time to call in the rescuers. It is estimated that the prince and nephew dare to say something at this time.

Little Zhu immediately put her arms around Lao Zhu's neck and acted like a baby. Naturally, Lao Zhu would not be angry, but still enjoyed the intimacy of her great-grandson.

"You are just like your five princes and your incompetent uncle." Putting his face on Xiao Zhu's, Lao Zhu said helplessly, "Your grandpa and your father also like to read books. Temper, you are so stubborn."

'boom'

The fireworks in the distance suddenly sounded, and Xiao Zhu immediately became happy, and dragged Lao Zhu to watch the fireworks.During the day, you can also set off fireworks during the day, at most it is not as bright and beautiful as at night, but it is still very interesting!
