Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 444 Zhu Zhen ascends the throne as emperor

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the first month passed quickly and the time came to February.

Since entering February, Zhu Chu has started to get busy.

Because the tenth day of February was his wedding day, it was his own marriage, and it was his first time getting married in two lifetimes, so how could he not be interested in it.

Even Zhu Zhen hadn't looked at the system for a long time and didn't know that the total resources of his tax system had reached 247.81 million.

The main reason is that there has been no place to use it. I originally wanted to save a set of infrastructure for the industrialization era, but now I am afraid that I can directly enter the industrialization era, right?
But now his main thoughts are on his upcoming wedding.

On the tenth day of February, the whole capital was in a state of excitement.

This day is no less than the Chinese New Year day, and may be even more lively.

The whole city was decorated, with lights and colors everywhere in a festive style.

Even all the restaurants opened their doors today and set up flowing tables.

Although the Ming Dynasty Huidian was not created by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was more frugal, which should not have been the case.

On that day, when everyone left or entered the city, they could only see a huge line of people lining up to see off relatives, and countless rare treasures could be seen everywhere.

The entire Xu family, not only the three brothers of the Xu family, but also their two sons-in-law jointly contributed to the dowry for Xu Miaojin. There is no need to mention that scene.

But what Mu Qiu didn't know was that Zhu Chu had made preparations in advance and sent a letter to notify Mu Chu and Mu Tu, who were still on their way back to the court.

Strangely, no one thought it was extravagant.

My eighteenth brother is getting married, what does this little money mean? Flower, flower it hard for me.

Otherwise, one million taels would not be enough.

Moreover, Zhu Ming married three concubines together, which means that not only did he have to prepare three betrothal gifts, but each one was the same.

Why did my wife's natal family marry their daughter, but they almost had their family fortune wiped out?

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give away all the money as red envelopes, but asked restaurants all over the city to set up flowing banquets.

This is beautiful enough.

Although Tang He had been depressed for so many years, the problem was that his family had too many problems, and there were almost no direct descendants left. With such a huge property, the Duke's family could not afford to pay for his daughter's dowry?
As for the Xu family.

Of course, with today's purchasing power of one million taels, it is definitely not just a treat for dinner.

In fact, Zhu Zhen was the first to enter the palace, and was carried directly up the 'Golden Steps' by a sedan chair, crossed the 'Dragon Gate', and came to the main hall.

That's right, all the restaurants in the city are open today, and everyone can come and eat whatever they want.

As for Zhu Fan, he used to look down on his other brothers, including Lao Shiba.

Isn't it the most precious gift to have one hundred thousand soldiers who will follow you to death?
This was a grand scene worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. Throughout history, it can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.

It is recorded in the "Da Ming Huidian" that the prince's engagement gift consisted of fifty taels of gold and ten taels of pearls.

People even think that if they don't do this, they would be sorry for his achievements.

It is said that for the betrothal gift alone, the palace spent 3,869 taels of gold of various colors, more than 8,700 green rubies, 100,000 taels of silver, and more than 24,000 coral pearls.

As a pragmatist, it doesn't matter what the name is, the key is practicality.

So Mu Chu and Mu Tu entered the city from the north and led one hundred thousand Naxi militiamen, carrying many trophies brought back from the grassland, as Mu Qiu's bride-to-be team.

Zhu Chu's betrothal gift was impressive, and so was the dowry given by Duke Tang and Xu.

But now he likes it.

After all, Zhu Zhen has made great achievements, and everyone thinks that he is worthy and worthy of it.

Although there are not so many gold, silver and jewelry, everyone knows that the Mu family has made countless achievements following Zhu Zhen this time, and those illustrious military achievements are the best dowry.

Moreover, Zhu Peng's marriage was arranged by the Zongren Mansion. In the past, the Zongren Mansion was managed by Zhu Ping, King of Qin. Later, Zhu Ping died, and nominally it was the current leader of the kings, Zhu Fang, who took charge of it.

All wedding matters are included.

It is said that one group came from the East City and the other group came from the West City. The two teams of red-clad soldiers stretched for dozens of miles and had already lined up outside the city.

The main occasion of the wedding was originally to be held at the Prince of Dian's Mansion, which was Zhu Chu's residence.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was rarely generous. For Zhu Yu's wedding, the national treasury spent a million taels of silver. Even if the whole country could not celebrate, the entire capital had to participate.

Mu De died on the road rushing to help Dali. Now Mu Qiu is alone in the capital, how can Zhu Chu not consider it.

After all, a son who steals his father is not considered a thief.

Even though Zhu Zhen is the prince now, this scale is already beyond the standard.

But the final occasion of this wedding was set in the court hall.

King Yan Zhu Di silently looked at each other with the acting king Zhu Gui, both brothers looked miserable.

Originally, Mu Qiu was a bit humble. Not to mention that her hometown was far away in Yunnan. Even if she was allowed to go out, she would definitely not be able to compare with the family wealth of Mr. Tang and Xu.

One is that he has been busy with marriage recently, and the other is that Zhu Zhen doesn't care about such trivial matters, he wants practical things.

This is the first time, because this is not like a prince getting married, but more like an emperor marrying a queen.

Although he was already the prince, he did not move to the so-called East Palace, nor did he change the plaque and name of the mansion.

The problem is that Huang Guan, the Minister of Rites, has been beheaded, who can still care about this matter.

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Although they were dressed in festive attire, they did not look like guests attending a wedding, but more like ministers welcoming the king.

Even the kings lined up on the side and looked at Zhu Chu without saying a word.

Today, Zhu Yu is wearing a red dragon robe. The python pattern on his body is not four claws, but five claws. This is a new costume made by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

He wears twelve crowns on his head and dragon boots on his feet.

According to the etiquette system, the crown prince and other princes should wear Tongtian crown robes when they hold weddings, ritual ceremonies, and sacrifices.

But what Zhu Chu was wearing at this time was Gun Mian.

In the 16th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Gongmian system.

In Chapter 12 of the Emperor, six kinds of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects are woven into the clothes. Zongyi, algae, fire, pink rice, 黼, and 黼 are embroidered on the clothes, and twelve crowns are worn.

The prince's upper garment is decorated with five patterns of fire, mountain, dragon, Chinese insect and Zong Yi, and his lower garment is embroidered with four patterns of algae, pink rice, black and black, for a total of nine chapters, and he wears a nine-cup crown.

Seven chapters of the crown prince, eight crowns.

There are five chapters for the king of the county and seven crowns.

And Zhu Xun is wearing a crown from head to toe, which is a proper dragon robe system, and it is also the most solemn style.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang usually wore leather clothes to go to court, and even wore ordinary clothes and casual clothes in the palace.

Only when it comes to a series of important occasions such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, and sheji, will it be so grand.

But today is Zhu Chu's wedding day, which is indeed grand.

But the problem is, shouldn't he be the one wearing it?

But no one from the civil and military officials raised any questions.

Maybe it's because the senior generals headed by Feng Sheng and Fu Youde haven't returned yet? Or maybe it's because some of the big bosses from the Sixth Division have just been beheaded, so no one dares to question it?

Zhu Zhen stood in front of the hall and turned around to look.

I saw Xu Miaojin wearing a phoenix crown and Xia Pei, sitting on an eight-carriage sedan, crossing the palace gate, and also carrying it from the golden steps into the front of the palace gate.

Again, this level of process already belongs to the wedding of an emperor and an empress, because it is equivalent to carrying Xu Miaojin into the palace, which means that she will enter the harem.

Otherwise, ordinary women are not allowed to go to the palace, not to mention the maids who dare not. Even Queen Ma called Zhu Yuanzhang to the harem to discuss matters.

But Xu Miaojin entered the hall at this time.

Following closely behind were Tang Xin and Mu Qiu.

Originally, as partial concubines, they could not walk through the main entrance, and the standard of the sedan was much lower.

But today is different. The three women are like sisters. In addition to Zhu Chu's wishes, the three women walk through the main entrance together, and the specifications of the sedan are also the same.

Including Tang Xin and Mu Qiu's Fengguan Xiapei, they are also exactly the same as Xu Miaojin.

If the three girls looked more similar, it would be like triplets looking at each other and having fun.

As the three brides appeared, the wedding officially began.

In fact, the entire wedding process was extremely cumbersome, including before coming to the main hall, Zhu Zhen went to burn incense to worship heaven and ancestors, and went to the Huagai Hall to worship nine times.

And that's just the beginning.

The civil and military officials lined up on the left and right sides of the hall stepped forward one by one to congratulate Zhu Zhen and the three brides. Then the official in charge of etiquette began to read the congratulations.

Finally, Zhu Ming also brought his three wives to worship heaven and earth.

That's right, let alone the prince, even if the emperor marries the queen, he still has to worship heaven and earth.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Zhu Zhen and his wives faced the sky outside the palace and slowly bowed down.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

On the dragon throne, the old god Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting there, and beside him, Concubine Zhou was as precious as her son. It was a rare opportunity to sit on the dragon throne and accept the kneeling worship of the newlyweds together.

Logically speaking, only the queen is qualified and cannot even sit on the dragon throne often.

And if Empress Ma is still there, then she will be the only one sitting on the dragon throne, and she will take the place of her biological mother, Concubine Zhou, and accept the kneeling ceremony of the new couple as the so-called legitimate mother.

Biological mother, naturally refers to biological mother.

Dimu, on the other hand, refers to the formal title given to a concubine's son who takes charge of his father's wife.

After two prayers, the prayers stopped.

After all, this is a royal wedding, not an ordinary people's wedding.

If it is in a civilian home, it is time for the couple to bow to each other and then send them to the bridal chamber.

But we can’t send them into the bridal chamber yet.

But Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly and said: "I was born in the midst of war and chaos, and was used to seeing the sufferings of the people, the cruel and ruthless corrupt officials, and the extremely corrupt Northern Yuan Dynasty. So I worked hard and determined to get rid of the centuries-old troubles. , restore the prosperity of our land of China."

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have never slacked off and never forgotten my original intention. During the Hongwu Dynasty, I would do everything personally, and I would never be lenient in killing corrupt officials. I am worthy of the gods, and worthy of all the people."

"Of course, our old Zhu family is blessed with many disciples to share our worries and solve problems, and now we have the eighteenth son Zhu Zhen who is leading the way. (The word "coquettish" here does not mean literally, it means outstanding ability, no one can compare with it. ), has become better than the blue.”

"Now that we have passed the age of sixty, it has been rare since ancient times for people to live seventy years. We don't want to rely on this dragon chair all the time."

"My son is listening to the announcement."

Zhu Chu's heart moved and he immediately knelt down and said, "My son, Zhu Chu, listen to the announcement."

"Today we are determined to pass on your legacy. With your endless miraculous feats and your abilities, it is obvious to all the world that you are worthy of this dragon chair."

"But we also have to tell you that you must know how difficult it is for the people. We have known the pain of hunger since we were young, and we have also experienced the pain of burying our loved ones with our own hands. If you dare to go against your original intention and public opinion one day, we will never forgive you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice resounded throughout the hall.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's change in attitude toward Zhu Chu began when Zhu Chu donated those seeds.

This is because Zhu Yuanzhang has always had a wish. He wanted to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty in which everyone in the world would be fed and clothed without having to suffer from hunger.

If he only thought about enjoying himself, Ming Dynasty would have died long ago.

They even did not hesitate to bear the infamy of killing heroes indiscriminately, because the original batch of Huaixi nobles had great achievements and wanted to dominate and bring blessings. How could it be tolerated?
If so, how are they different from Bei Yuan?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about Zhu Zhen's ability, but warned him that he should never be ashamed of the people.

Zhu Ming raised his head and agreed loudly: "Please rest assured, father, I will never forget your lesson."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and picked up a piece of jade seal from the dragon table on the side. It was the jade seal that Zhu Yu finally recovered from the Mongolian grassland and had been lost for many years.

"The new emperor receives the seal."

Huangmen Shilang took it with both hands, bent down, walked step by step in front of Zhu Chu, kowtowed, touched his head to the ground, and raised his hands in front of Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming then slowly stood up, took the jade seal and held it in his hand.

In an instant, everyone knelt down except Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Zhou who were sitting on the dragon throne.

"See the new emperor, long live the new emperor."

From this moment on, Zhu Zhen was the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Even his brothers and kings all knelt down willingly.

There is no need to reduce the vassal status. With so many supporters of the prince, there is no threat from foreign ministers.

In fact, the imperial power was at its peak at this time.

With Emperor Hongwu sitting on top and surrounded by brothers and kings below, Zhu Zhen wanted to ask, who dares to fight?
Zhu Chu's heart was surging, recalling the style of costume TV dramas in his previous life, and said: "Everyone loves you."

Only then did the kings and officials get up.

The three concubines beside him also stood up.

"Speaking of which, our identities have changed too quickly, haven't we? You were still my crown princess a moment ago, what should I call you at this moment?" Zhu Ming looked at the wives in front of him and was a little speechless.

After Zhu Yuanzhang decided to abdicate, naturally such a big thing could not be treated as a surprise gift. It would be too surprising.

So everyone present was mentally prepared.

No wonder Zhu Ming attended the ceremony dressed in Gunmian attire from the very beginning.

Since he had prepared in advance, Zhu Yuanzhang simply said: "They are your wives, it is better for you to canonize them yourself."

Zhu Chu held the imperial seal in his hand and said: "Canonize Xu Miaojin, the daughter of the Duke of Wei, as the queen. Tang Xin, the daughter of the Duke of Xin, is the Concubine Tang, with the title of Xian (is Tang Xian?). Confer Mu Qiu, the Mu family, as the Concubine Mu. , titled Shu."

This is the title of Zhu Chu's concubine, and there is definitely no such title as "loyalty and righteousness".

Your wife is loyal to you, why should you tell outsiders?

However, Zhu Ming named Tang Xin as a virtuous concubine, and this virtuous man had a lot to say.

One is to repay Tang He and the Tang family for their loyal devotion, and the other is that when Tang He was almost exiled to Zhejiang, he was still thinking about the harm the Japanese pirates would do to the people of the Ming Dynasty. When Tang Xin was learning martial arts, he also thought about one day killing them. Killing Japanese pirates to protect the country.

The word "virtuous" couldn't be more appropriate.

And Mu Qiu's Shu can be considered the greatest affirmation.

No matter which dynasty you are in, 'Shu Fei' is always ranked first.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang once canonized a concubine Li Shu and took charge of the harem.

There is no need to worry that Zhu Li's Tang Shufei will be confused with Li Shufei, because Li Shufei has passed away long ago.

As Zhu Ming completed the promotion and canonization of his wives, the civil and military officials once again paid homage to the new queen and the two imperial concubines.

Now that Zhu Zhen has become the emperor, apart from the queen, the highest-ranking concubine is the imperial concubine. Naturally, there is no such thing as "partiality to the queen".

At the same time, Concubine Zhou also picked up a square seal from the dragon table next to her, and said reluctantly: "Since the new queen has been established, the harem can no longer be vacant. Please take the seal."

The emperor has a jade seal, and the queen naturally has a phoenix seal.

It's just that Concubine Zhou still has no chance to become the queen. This is the closest she has ever been to Feng Yin.

But in the end, she had no choice but to deliver it to Xu Miaojin in person.

Xu Miaojin didn't dare to be too rude. This was Zhu Chu's biological mother, so she quickly knelt down.

When Concubine Zhou came to the front, she raised her hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, mother."

Concubine Zhou showed a pleased smile, and when she put Feng Yin in Xu Miaojin's hand, she helped her up.

"From now on, you are the master of the harem, and I have to rely on your care," Concubine Zhou joked.

But when these words fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, he couldn't help but frown, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Many concubines in his harem are still alive, but the new emperor has ascended the throne, so they can't live together, right?

If rumors spread about this, it would be nice to say but not nice to hear.

But he is still alive now, so he can't bury them alive first. Is that a sacrificial burial?

Even after Zhu Yuanzhang abdicated, he naturally became the Supreme Emperor.

But where does the Supreme Emperor live?

It should be noted that it was not Li Erfeng who forced the palace to abdicate, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself abdicated on his own initiative. Besides, with the reputation of Emperor Hongwu, who would dare to wrong him?

You can't put Zhu Yuanzhang under house arrest, right?

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache, but he had no idea how to arrange these things.

"Father," Zhu Yu said at this time, interrupting Zhu Yuanzhang's melancholy, and said: "Although you abdicated the throne to your son, you are still the Supreme Emperor. And I still have many things to learn from you. If not you continue to live in Qian Qing Palace, and we will go back to the old mansion.”

"How can there be such truth?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt dumbfounded. You are already the emperor. How can an emperor live outside the palace? What a system.

Co-author: Do you really think this is work? Nine to five? Go home at night and clock in to work the next morning?
Thank you for thinking it through.

"As the emperor, Qianqing Palace and Qianning Palace will naturally be handed over to you and Miaojin. Don't worry, I will arrange other things. Today is your special day, let the wedding continue."

(PS: Although I am a little anxious, the protagonist has ascended the throne. Now it’s time to enter the end, and try to end it smoothly.)
