I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 242 Squeeze out the last value!
"Besides, there is one more thing."

After talking about the affairs of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Yunxu suddenly said again.

He just looked at ease.

Zhu Xi didn't care either, just treating it as a minor matter that he wanted to discuss with him.

But never thought about the next moment.

Zhu Yunxuan's words were astonishing, so frightened that Zhu Yan almost spit out the wine he just drank!
"The Spring Festival is approaching, this year Grandpa Huang will not come back on Yangshan Mountain."

"I want to leave the matter of officiating the Spring Festival to my third uncle."

Zhu Yunxuan said very plainly.

But these words really scared Zhu Bian.

Opposite him, Zhu Xi looked panicked, and for a moment he didn't know what Zhu Yunzhen meant.

Since ancient times, whenever the Spring Festival approaches, there has been a very complicated ceremony to worship heaven and ancestors.

As usual, it is usually presided over by the emperor himself.

But it can also be done by the minister.

Now that Lao Zhu is not around and the grandson is in charge of the country, this matter naturally falls on Zhu Yunxi.

Moreover, this is also the first ceremony of worshiping heaven and ancestors presided over by Zhu Yunxi.

It stands to reason that it is also an important time to declare one's rule and increase one's authority.

But at such an important moment, Zhu Yunxi actually gave it up to Zhu Bing!
This makes Zhu Xi inevitably think more...

After all, who knows whether Zhu Yunxuan really wants to do it, or is just pretending to want it, just to test it?
Zhu Yan couldn't guess Zhu Yunxi's thoughts at all.

In my heart, I am more and more impressed by Zhu Yunxi's ability.

"This...how can we be in charge of the officiant of the Spring Festival?" Zhu Yan naturally refused repeatedly.

But Zhu Yunxi persuaded him earnestly, "Third Uncle, you must be responsible for this matter."

The officiant is extremely complicated and cumbersome.

And who will be the officiant has no impact on Zhu Yunxuan's position.

Anyway, Lao Zhu is still here.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi pushed this matter to Zhu Po was purely because the work of the officiant was too cumbersome and tiring!

In this era, worshiping heaven and ancestors is naturally a major event among major events.

So there are so many rules.

When offering sacrifices to heaven, one needs to hold a jade sacrificial vessel called "Gui" with the upper tip and the lower part.

For Zhu Yunxi, who is still young, if he wears a thick crown and keeps holding the word 'Gui', it will be exhausting...

And before the sacrifice, the chief priest had to check the animals and utensils used for the sacrifice, and there must be no omissions.

Also make sure everything is properly furnished.

On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, the officiant needs to start at dawn.

Complete the nine procedures of welcoming the gods, laying the jade and silk, entering the zu, offering gifts at the beginning of the journey, offering gifts at the end of the journey, offering gifts at the end of the journey, throwing beans, sending the gods off, and watching the fire.

During the sacrifice process, the emperor should lead the civil and military officials to kneel down and salute continuously.

The salute officer sang loudly, and people followed suit.

Under the chorus of the praise officer, the music was played, and then the suburban order lit the firewood on the altar to burn the sacrifices. As the smoke drifted up, the sacrifices meant that they were sent to heaven.

Besides, every etiquette is very cumbersome.

Taking the first gift as an example, the officiant needs to go to the throne, pick up the gui, wash the robe, wipe the robe, hand it over to the deacon, and then take out the gui.

Then he went to the wine and libation place, picked up the wine, handed over the wine to the steward, and then took out the wine.

But it's not over yet.

When the music is played, the officiant still needs to kneel in front of the altar, pick up the gui, offer incense, offer wine, lay down the honour, and give out the gui.

After reading the Zhuguan's text, the officiant bowed down to worship, got up, bowed again, and then returned to his original position.

This has just completed one of the etiquettes!
Just looking at the long process, Zhu Yunxi's scalp felt numb.

This is really tiring!
And Zhu Yunxi didn't think this thing was really useful.

Rather than spending so much effort on this, Zhu Yunxi still wants to care about the progress of various reforms in Ming Dynasty.

Only this is the fundamental way to truly make Daming stronger!

That's why Zhu Yunzhen insisted on leaving the matter of officiating the ceremony to Zhu Xi.

But Zhu Xi didn't know this.

He couldn't guess Zhu Yunzhen's thoughts at all. He could only watch Zhu Yunzhen plead again and again, but he really didn't mean to frame him.

This is barely acceptable.

But in his heart, he felt that he couldn't understand Zhu Yunxi more and more.

Why did Zhu Yunxi have such confidence.

How dare he even hand over the ceremony of worshiping the heaven and the ancestors to him? !

Naturally, he didn't know... Zhu Yunzhen's greatest confidence in leaving these matters to him was, in the final analysis, because he was about to die...

Before you die, if you don't use your spare energy, leave all the work you can do to him.

Squeeze out all surplus value.

Isn't Zhu Yunxi stupid?

I'm used to fighting with Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxie, it's rare to meet such a 'no threat' feudal lord like Zhu Xie.

Of course, Zhu Yunxuan must learn how to squeeze out the last trace of Zhu Yun's use value!
Send Zhu Xi away.

Zhu Yunzhen was the only one left in the imperial study.

In a blink of an eye, a year is about to pass.

Zhu Yunxuan's mood fluctuated, not only recalling everything that happened in the past year, but also looking forward to his first Spring Festival in Daming.

In the past life, the flavor of the year was getting weaker and weaker.

This year is getting worse and worse.

It even made Zhu Yunlin feel that he was celebrating the New Year for a while.

But now we have returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi began to look forward to it.

I don’t know what the Spring Festival in the early Ming Dynasty is like.
Think here.

Zhu Yunxuan summoned his personal maid to inquire about this matter.

"Do you know if there is anything interesting to do during the Spring Festival in the capital in recent years?"

"Is it hot?"

The little maid supported her jade-white chin with a pale finger.

Tilted his head and thought for a long time.

Said: "Your Highness, the servant girl heard that in the early years, the Spring Festival in the capital was not so lively."

"But it's different now."

“Every year during the Spring Festival, there is a lantern show to watch!”

"There is also the Chenghuang Temple Fair on the first day of the first lunar month. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and there are all kinds of rare treasures. It can't be too lively!"

"There are also major troupes performing at the temple fair, and there are a lot of people watching."

"It's just..."

The maid said with a guilty conscience: "There are only five days during the Spring Festival... I haven't had enough fun..."

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment.

The mouth grew slightly, and he was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the whole Spring Festival would only be released for five days!
This... is comparable to the seven days in the later generations!
But when I think about Lao Zhu's workaholic, and the fact that throughout the Hongwu years, he had very few holidays.

Not even a monthly holiday!

There are only a few days of rest in a year, but it makes sense...

After all, the leaders of Ming Dynasty are not willing to rest and work day and night, so how dare the subordinates dare to rest?
Thinking about it this way, the Spring Festival is only held for five days, which is so reasonable that it cannot be more reasonable.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

He came from later generations to understand the relationship between working hours and work efficiency.

It doesn't mean that working longer hours is necessarily better.

Sometimes rest is often for better work.

Wait until next year, maybe he will have to disobey Lao Zhu again.

Let the people of Ming Dynasty have a good annual holiday!

It would be best to launch some official activities. In Zhu Yunxuan's mind, wouldn't this be far better than the meaningless formality of worshiping heaven and ancestors?

Not only can it increase people’s happiness.

It can also stabilize people’s hearts.

"Please think of more activities in the palace this year."

"Let the palace be lively and lively."

"Don't let it be as dead as before."

Every year during the New Year, people in the palace are homesick, and the lively atmosphere inside the palace is not as lively as outside the palace.

The maid hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness understands us slaves."

"My servant thanked Your Highness on their behalf!"

I feel more and more grateful to Zhu Yunxi in my heart.

Also more loyal.

……

Time flies, time flies like a white horse.

All of a sudden.

The capital suddenly became more red, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Not even the noise in the street.

It's also three points bigger than usual.

In the blink of an eye... the Spring Festival is just around the corner...

snow falls...

The end of the year is approaching...
