If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 257 The God of Incense
Although everything was complicated, the emperor finally returned to the capital and suppressed all conspiracies.

It's just that this kind of suppression only temporarily suppresses various contradictions and does not fundamentally solve the problem.

However, for the emperor, the results that had been achieved were enough to satisfy him. As for completely solving certain problems in the country, a sound strategy and time were still needed.

As for the major case caused by the emperor's own directing and acting, the big fish that the emperor wanted has been caught. As for the remaining small fish and shrimps, we can save them for later.

Therefore, when the emperor returned to Nanjing, the panic caused by the unscrupulous arrests of Jin Yiwei and the evil conspiracy behind the scenes seemed to disappear in an instant. Everything changed the moment the emperor entered Nanjing. Singing and dancing brought peace.

Although there are still undercurrents under the prosperous surface, for the emperor, his goal has been achieved, and this matter can be understood here.

Moreover, the victory of the army is a festive event. If the tense atmosphere is still maintained, it will naturally not look good on the emperor's face.

Therefore, the day before the emperor entered the city, the Imperial Guards had ceased their activities and no longer went out on the streets to arrest people. Those who were originally arrested were also found to be innocent after emergency interrogations, or if no useful information could be extracted, before the emperor entered the city. was released.

Of course, Ji Gang, who wanted to stir up a big case, didn't let everyone go. Likewise, he didn't really want to let these people go. It was just that the emperor was about to return to Beijing and he had to save his face, so he let go of some small fish. Just shrimps.

Those who are truly important and valuable are still imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison and tortured day and night in order to obtain more useful confessions.

But these have nothing to do with Zhu Zhanjun. The game he laid out can now be closed. He also told the emperor what to do with the rest, so he can just ignore the rest.

But this does not mean that Zhu Zhanqi can relax, because the emperor entrusted him with the matter of conferring gods, and pressed him very urgently, requiring that everything must be prepared before dedicating the prisoners to the Ancestral Temple. The emperor wanted When dedicating prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, the deceased Queen Xu was canonized as a god.

For Zhu Zhanquan, this is not an advantage. According to his calculations, the current national destiny of the Ming Dynasty can already support the canonization of Incense and Fire Shinto with human luck, and the emperor's victory in the Northern Expedition and the triumphant return of the sacrificial heaven and earth can already start. To suppress and stabilize the fate of humanity.

Therefore, what Zhu Zhanchun has to do is to modify the current rituals of worshiping heaven in the Ming Dynasty to ensure that this ceremony can be effective and suppress the human destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

Then at the ceremony of dedicating prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, the humane destiny was used to canonize Queen Xu, making her the first incense and Shinto god in the Ming Dynasty, thus starting the first step of the Ming Dynasty.

To do this, of course, it is inseparable from the Ministry of Households, which spends money, and the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of etiquette. Even the Ministry of Work, which does the work, cannot escape the relationship.

As a result, Xia Yuanji from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lu Zhen from the Ministry of Rites, and Wuzhong from the Ministry of Works were assigned to Zhu Zhanqun's command as soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, and the emperor also issued a death order. These three departments are required to cooperate fully without making any mistakes.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zheng, what is your Majesty doing? We all understand that the imperial army is going to worship heaven after their triumphant victory, but aren't these rituals all established and followed? Why is there a big change this time?" Lu Zhen was The first person to ask the question was that as the Minister of Rites, he had to maintain the court's etiquette system, and the ceremony of worshiping the heaven was a great etiquette, and there was no room for any mistakes. Now that it was to be changed, of course he had the biggest opinion.

As for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs?One spends money and the other contributes money, but they have no opinion on this matter.

After all, if the imperial court wants to spend money to build something, the Ministry of Works must be able to feed it, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!
Of course, the DPRK and the Central Government have just experienced a major case, and the aftermath is still lingering. The Ministry of Works will definitely not dare to take advantage of it, but even so, there is no problem for the Ministry of Works to gain seniority and fill their stomachs.As for Hube Xia Yuanji, it doesn't matter even more. Anyway, Hube's pocket is cleaner than Xia Yuanji's face now. The emperor wants to spend money?Yes, the money comes from internal funds, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money.

others?Your Highness, Prince Zheng, will do whatever you say, and I, Lao Xia, will just listen.

Anyway, who doesn’t know that the most profitable God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty is His Highness Prince Zheng? The court’s annual income of one million taels of silver is all obtained by His Highness Prince Zheng’s conquest of Japan, so whatever His Highness Prince Zheng says is what he says. Even if the sun is said to be square, Xia Yuanji will also say that the sun is not round.

Zhu Zhanquan faced the three ministers and explained in a very serious manner: "This sacrifice to heaven is of great importance, so the three adults should cooperate actively. If something goes wrong, the nine tribes will be punished.

As for what grandpa wants to do?I wonder if these three adults have heard of the legend of the ancient human emperor? "

"Ancient Human Emperor? This..." The three ministers looked at each other in confusion. They were all well-read poetry and books. They naturally knew about the Human Emperor, but they could not imagine the connection between them.

So Lu Zhen still asked: "I wonder if His Highness is talking about the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times? What is the connection between what the emperor wants to do and the ancient human emperors?"

"In ancient times, the Human Emperor was the co-owner of the world. In addition, the connection between heaven and earth is still open, so the Human Emperor's canonization can be recognized by the heaven." Zhu Zhanquan started the mode of making up nonsense, but he was not worried about his nonsense. was exposed: "But later on, the connection between heaven and earth was eliminated, and there was no communication between the human world and heaven, and the human emperor's canonization gradually became just a formality.

But now our Ming Dynasty's national destiny is prosperous, and we have returned from the Northern Expedition with great victory. As long as we cast the Jiuding to suppress the fate of humanity, our Ming Dynasty's national destiny will not decline and our country will be forever solid.

Therefore, this time to offer sacrifices to heaven, grandpa asked for the casting of Jiuding in order to suppress our national destiny in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the humane luck can also be consecrated to the incense priesthood. The recipients can enjoy the incense of the Great Ming Dynasty. Blessed by the humane luck, if the country is not destroyed, the gods will not be destroyed. At the same time, they are in charge of the priesthood and assist the emperor in governing the country.

Grandpa this time is going to use the opportunity of worshiping heaven to suppress my fate of humanity in the Ming Dynasty and canonize the first incense priest. "

After hearing Zhu Zhanjun's explanation, the three ministers felt like they were listening to heavenly scriptures.

But considering the destiny compass outside Fengtian Gate, do they think this is probably, maybe, probably true?

"There is no need for the three ministers to be doubtful. This matter is absolutely true. I dare not guarantee it with my life." Zhu Zhanjuan saw the disbelief of the three people. Naturally, he wanted to find a way to make them believe it, and at the same time, he also wanted to lure them to work seriously: "And I have also discussed with my grandfather about the canonization of the incense priesthood. If the ministers of the court can fulfill their duties faithfully, they will have a chance after death.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty's national destiny and human destiny are not enough to support too many incense priests, so only one will be canonized this time, and the others may have to wait until next time. "
