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

Chapter 262

Xu Miaoyun's departure made Zhu Di suddenly become absent-minded, as if he wanted to end it all quickly and then go see Xu Miaoyun.

For Zhu Di, this is not a strange thing. After all, Xu Miaoyun is the woman he loves most in his life. It is not surprising that he has such an attitude. Especially since Xu Miaoyun came back from the dead, it has an even different meaning for Zhu Di.

But what if the emperor ran away during the ceremony to worship heaven?

Lu Zhen, the Minister of Etiquette, no matter how frightened he was by the grand scene created by Zhu Zhanjun today, he still did not forget his own job and was always meticulously presiding over the various ceremonies of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Even if the emperor wanted to leave work early, he would have to stop him and go through all the procedures.

You must know that many rituals in the ceremony of worshiping the heaven must be performed by the emperor himself. Although it is not impossible to let the prince take his place, Zhu Zhanjuan said, "The first sacrifice to the heaven to suppress the fate of humanity must be performed by the head of the dynasty himself." The host simply left Zhu Di at the scene of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

So no matter how much Zhu Di wanted to see Xu Miaoyun, he could only stand where he was and go through all the rituals of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony before leaving.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Zhu Di to be absent-minded.

Fortunately, the main process of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was over. All that was left was to present the prisoners to the ancestral temple and some other finishing touches, plus the royal banquet in the evening.

Among these ceremonies, except for the dedication of prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, which required the emperor's personal presence, the rest could be left to the prince to preside over it.

So, after waiting patiently for Lu Zhen to announce the completion of the last ceremony, and saying "The prince can take my place", Zhu Di simply stopped sitting in the chariot, grabbed a war horse and ran towards the city.

When Zhu Zhanjun saw this, he knew what Zhu Di was going to do. He hurriedly said to Zhu Gaochi: "Dad, I'll leave it to you. Grandpa should be rushing back to the city to see grandma. I'm worried, so I have to go and have a look. "

After saying that, he got on a war horse and chased Zhu Di.

He was confused by the sudden departure of the grandfather and grandson, but fortunately, Xu Miaoyun's resurrection from the dead gave the prince a vaccination, and he was not caught off guard by this incident.

While silently performing the duties of the prince and taking over the remaining matters, Zhu Gaochi was still concerned about Xu Miaoyun's sudden resurrection from the dead.

This is not just as simple as the former queen coming back from the dead.

You must know that in both the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, the queen played a very prominent role.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, when Queen Ma was alive and Queen Ma was dead, they were two completely different court environments.

It can be said that if Zhu Yuanzhang is described as a sharp sword, Queen Ma is his scabbard, which contains and converges the edge of the sword so that it will not hurt people all the time.

Empress Xu of the Yongle Dynasty, while restraining Zhu Di's character and edge like Empress Ma, also played her due role as the mother of a country.During the Jingnan period, Zhu Di led his troops to Daning and asked King Ning to borrow Duoyan's three guards, while Zhu Gaochi and Xu Miaoyun were left to guard Peiping. Faced with the siege of Li Jinglong's army, Xu Miaoyun personally arranged the troops and commanded them on the spot. In addition to calling on all the soldiers to defend the city to the death, they also personally put on armor and climbed to the city to hold on, allowing Peiping to support Zhu Di's return army for rescue.

It can be said that if it were not for Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di's hometown would have been raided. Although the Jingnan War may not have succeeded in the end, losing Peiping would still be a huge blow to Zhu Di, and it is likely to change the entire Jingnan Campaign. direction.

In addition, Xu Miaoyun also "does good Taoism to assist internal governance, and promotes prosperity to benefit living beings." He once suggested to Zhu Di that "between the north and the south, years of war have made the soldiers and the people exhausted. The government should be liberal and frugal, and the people must be able to benefit from it." To recuperate and recuperate", he also advised Zhu Di to treat the Jingnan meritorious officials and the Jianwen old officials equally and use them equally in order to govern the country well.

In this regard, Zhu Di only had one comment: "I went to Sijana and said, 'Everything I said next is in line with my wishes.'"

It was precisely because of Xu Miaoyun's advice that old Jianwen ministers such as Xia Yuanji and Qian Yi were reused, so that the government in the early years of Yongle could be quickly stabilized and the change of power was completed.

Empress Xu learned and understood the policies and strategies of governing the country, and she was dedicated to the livelihood of the people. Her outstanding political insights made Zhu Di admired very much.

Therefore, Zhu Di often consulted her for advice, and most of her opinions and suggestions were listened to and adopted by Zhu Di. As she and the minister's wife said: "When I serve the emperor in the palace day and night, I always care about the people. Consultant, listen and listen."

In addition to assisting the king, Empress Xu also continued to write books, narrating Empress Ma's teachings and expanding them into [-] chapters of "Internal Instructions" to teach the concubines in the palace. It also resembled the good words and good deeds of the ancient compilers, and wrote "Book of Encouragement" is published all over the world.

Because of his Buddhist beliefs and the political need to maintain the legitimacy of Zhu Di, he compiled "The Sutra of the Most Rare and Great Merit Sutra Said by the Buddha in a Dream", "The Sutra of the Great Causes and Destinations of the Buddha Said 53", and "The Sutra of the Buddhas, World Honored Tathagata, Bodhisattva, Divine Monks and Famous Sutras" 》 and other scriptures.

It can be said that Xu Miaoyun is really a strange woman with both civil and military skills. Zhu Di was able to successfully pacify the difficulties, and the Yongle Dynasty was able to achieve the achievements in later history. Xu Miaoyun's role as a queen cannot be underestimated.

It's a pity that Xu Miaoyun passed away early in the fifth year of Yongle, at the age of only 46, even though she was the empress of the world.

One can imagine what kind of blow this was to Zhu Di.

You must know that Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di are a real young couple. They met and fell in love with Xu Miaoyun when he was still a prince. The couple had a deep love and went through many years of ups and downs together. Even Zhu Di's descendants were all descended from Xu Miaoyun. After the death of Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di's post was vacant for 17 years. It was not until the 22nd year of Yongle that Zhu Di died of illness on the Beizheng Road, and then he and Xu Miaoyun were buried in Changling.

Now that Xu Miaoyun has come back from the dead, Zhu Di's desire to see her is surging like a river bursting its banks. No matter who stands in front of him at this time, there is no way to stop Zhu Di from wanting to see Xu Miaoyun.

So even though Zhu Zhanquan chased him, he still couldn't catch up with Zhu Di, who wanted to see his wife. It wasn't until he caught up with him outside the gate of the temple built for Xu Miaoyun that Zhu Zhanquan saw the horse that Zhu Di had ridden riding away. The shivering, sweaty quilt was still at the temple door.

It can be seen that Zhu Di did not skimp on horsepower at all along the way, and almost let the war horse run away.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanju also got off his horse and threw his horse to the Qingyu Guards who came after him. He lifted up his robe and walked into the temple.
