Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 80 Taimiao (End)
"Grandpa Huang, why do you want to worship Yuan Shizu in the Taimiao?"

Standing outside the main hall where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and other founding monarchs were enshrined, Zhu Xiongying, who was pulled by the old man, asked in a low voice.

The old man looked into the hall, and did not answer immediately, but asked back, "Do you know the reason why the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties have been so good!"

Zhu Xiongying thought about it, and said loudly, "Han is because Han Gaozu was the king of Han, Tang is Tang Guogong, and Song is because Song Taizu's official position is Songzhou Jiedushi! Their country names are all evolved from the vassal regions."

The old man smiled, "Then do you know the origin of Dayuan's national name?"

Zhu Xiongying pondered again, and said slowly, "The name of the Yuan Dynasty comes from the "Book of Changes". , itself to the legitimacy of Chinese rule!"

The old man nodded and asked again, "Then do you know where our Daming country name comes from?"

Zhu Xiongying said without hesitation, "From the end of the Ming Dynasty in "The Song of Songs"!"

"Well, the whole world thinks that our national title is due to the Mingjiao, haha!" The old man laughed, "We don't even care about real gods, but we care about his crooked ways!"

"Grandfather, the meaning of the beginning of the Ming Dynasty is to inherit the previous dynasty?" Zhu Xiongying thought about it and asked seriously.

"Yes, my Great Ming inherits the Great Yuan!" The old man looked at the statue of Kublai Khan in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "At the beginning, someone was arguing with us, saying that Kublai Khan was originally a barbarian, and he should not be enshrined when he expelled the imperial temple. Come on, it's total fart!"

"From Qin to Song, Yi and Di were divided. As for the Great Yuan, the country is not named after the princes, and Yi and Di are all Chinese citizens!"

Zhu Xiongying showed some doubts on his face, "But the Great Yuan of the former dynasty."

"The Great Yuan's imperial edict to outsiders also calls itself China. When they enter China, they are China!" The old man continued, "Let me ask you again, in all dynasties, is there any territory that exceeds Qianyuan?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head, the answer is yes.

"Let's not talk about the Song Dynasty. Let's talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the heyday, the county system was implemented for the land of the traditional Han family, but what was implemented for the land of the Hu people?" The old man continued to ask.

Zhu Xiongying said, "Jie, divide!"

"That's right, when the Central Plains was strong, enfeoffment was easy to use, but when you were weak, who would listen to you? When the Han and Tang Dynasties were at their peak, the territory was tens of thousands of miles. But that was only where the soldiers came, not the territory. But what about Dayuan?" The old man sat down on the threshold and taught, "In Dayuan, the huge territory is governed by provinces!"

"Centralization!" Zhu Xiongying blurted out.

"Yes, centralized power. All subjects in the four seas must obey the central government. Whether it is Han or Hu!" Out of the center!"

Zhu Xiongying seemed to understand a little bit. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were different from the prefectures and counties of the previous dynasties, and the provincial system was implemented.In this way, the territory of the empire can be clarified, and those places can be better managed and ruled.

It can be said that, although unwilling to admit it, since the Yuan Dynasty, China's political structure has changed. It is no longer a single traditional farming area civilization, but a multi-ethnic civilization that integrates nomadic fishing and hunting.Over hundreds of years, with the Han civilization as the main body, these civilizations have merged into a new civilization that can accommodate various ethnic groups and have cohesion.

It is this kind of civilization that has established a huge empire territory and passed it down from generation to generation.

In his previous life, Zhu Xiongying was not a talker on the Internet, nor was he a wretched mentally handicapped person hiding behind keyboards and mobile phone screens.

For a while, there was a clamor on the Internet that Manchuria and Mongolia were not China, and Yuan and Qing were not China, in his opinion, it was simply nonsense.Those idiots who followed the clamor were redundant.

Because the source of this argument was put forward by the Japanese pirate island nation in the 20s.Their purpose is to split Huaxia and turn Huaxia's territory into a traditional Han farming area, thereby separating Huaxia from other regions.

Let hundreds of millions of people be separated from Germany!
But now, what the old man's generation needs to do is to knead and blend the Han, Hu, Yi and Di together.

"You ask us why we enshrine Yuan Shizu!" The old man's face was a bit solemn, "Although he is a barbarian, he considers China to be orthodox in our hearts. If we don't recognize him, Han and Hu will be incompatible ! The Ming Dynasty we built is not such a petty country, but a country that wants the world to be one!"

"Dasun, do you understand?"

Zhu Xiongying scratched his head, "I seem to understand, but I don't understand!"

"I'll follow grandpa from now on, and we'll teach you!" The old man took his grandson's hand again, "Even though your grandpa didn't study much, but this kind of courageous vision, it's not like our lord mother-in-law sells melons. Who in the past dynasties can match me? "

Indeed, apart from other things, just looking at this mind and strategy, it is beyond ordinary people.

The old man led Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao into the main hall.

He went straight to the statue tablet of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns, and knelt down solemnly.

"Prime Minister Heshan Zhu Yuanzhang, I would like to play the Chinese ancestors, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors!"

"Chen Ben Huai You, a commoner, was born in troubled times, his parents died early, he had nothing to wear, he was depressed and hesitant!"

"In troubled times, there is no security, food is not enough, and life is at stake. Join the army resolutely and drive out tyranny! God bless you, I started the army at the age of 25, and fought for 17 years. I have armored, dispatched divisions and brigades, stabilized the Quartet, and put the people in peace. When the world is dying, ascend the throne For God!"

"Throughout the ages, among the emperors, there is no more background than a minister. The difficulty of starting a business is no more than a minister, and the right of the world is no more than a minister!"

"Since ascension to the throne, I have cherished my life experience, and dare not forget the sufferings of the world. For 15 years, I have been trembling for [-] years. I have resisted the Mongolian Yuan in Mobei from the outside, so that I dare not go south to the Central Plains. Inside, I have light labor, rest with the people, and widely use virtue!"

"In the past 15 years, the world has been more peaceful, the people have been relieved of the suffering of hunger, and the minister is finally worthy of the love of God and the position of the Son of Heaven!"

"When Zhengdan falls, I bring my sons and grandsons to pay homage to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. All the emperors, please protect me from the great Ming Dynasty and the rivers and mountains, and the weather will be smooth. Protect the people of China, and they will be safe and peaceful!"

After reading, kowtow.

Zhu Xiongying was beside him, kowtowing respectfully together with Zhu Biao.

The old man raised his head, looked at the prince Zhu Biao, then at his precious grandson, and suddenly smiled.

"Grandson, read a few words to the ancestors of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

Zhu Xiongying was puzzled, Zhu Biao said urgently, "Father, he is a child."

The old man glanced at Zhu Biao, and continued to Zhu Xiongying, "One day, sooner or later, you will come to pay homage to the Taimiao by yourself, so let's talk, in front of these old ancestors, you will look familiar!"

"The ancestors of Huaxia come again, and the heroes of the Emperor Zhu's clan kowtow to play!"

"The heaven and the earth were first established, and there was the Emperor of Heaven, who was indifferent and natural, and was on the same path as the (Northern) pole."

"Later to the Five Emperors, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors created China and passed it down from generation to generation. After the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was passed on from Qin to Ming."

"The name of the country may change, but China's Huaxia will remain unchanged forever!"

"Since the millennium, the territory of China has expanded to all directions, and the people have multiplied and the population is countless."

"The prosperity of China is due to the virtues of the ancestors, and future generations will never forget it!"

"Today, as the great-grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the minister Xiongying bowed down to the ancestors and comforted the ancestors. Under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, Huaxia will prosper and flourish for thousands of miles!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

The old man laughed loudly, "Well said, China will be prosperous from generation to generation under the rule of our Great Ming!"

~~~~~
After the memorial ceremony was completed, the three masters of the Zhu family got up.

When walking to the temple of meritorious officials, the old man stopped suddenly, let go of Zhu Xiongying's hand, and said to Zhu Biao, "Take him to pay homage to your father-in-law!" As he spoke, he grinned, "Let that black-faced Chang Yuchun look at him." Look, how handsome his grandson is!"

Zhu Biao smiled silently, and pulled Zhu Xiongying into the room.

As soon as he entered the temple of meritorious officials, a murderous atmosphere rushed over his face.

To the west, Hu Dahai, Duke of Yue, Wu Zhuang, Duke of Liang, Zhao Desheng, Duke of Liang, Wu Zhuang Huagao, Duke of Chao, Zhonglie Yu Tonghai, Duke of Guo, Wu Liang, Duke of Jiang, Zhonglie Cao Liangchen, Duke of Ang, Wu Fu, Duke of Qian, Zhongminhou of Yanshan Sun Xingzu.

Feng Guoyong, Duke of Ying, Geng Zaicheng, Duke Wu of Xihai, Ding Dexing, Duke of Ji, Zhongyi, Zhang Desheng, Duke of Cai, Xiangyi, Wu Zhen, Duke of Hai, Kang Maocai, Duke of Qi, and Maocheng, Duke of Donghai County.

Before the memorial tablet, each deserves to share, two sheep and two pigs.

The temple also enshrines the weapons, saddles and other things used by these heroes who died in battle.

"I have never seen some of these people before your father!" Zhu Biao whispered as he walked, "Don't be negligent when dealing with the heroes of the founding of the country. Every year, your imperial grandfather will let the captain-in-law come to pay respects." Festival!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the portraits of heroes on both sides, and said, "My minister thinks that a martyr's shrine can be set up. In addition to the incense of my Zhu family, they can also receive folk fireworks, and it can also inspire the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers of the world!"

"That's a good idea!" Zhu Biao smiled.

At this time, his father and son had already entered the main hall.

In the main hall, there is a lifelike statue on the left and right sides, with the names of heroes hanging on them.

Chang Yuchun, king of Zhongwu in Kaiping, and Deng Yu, king of Wushun in Ninghe.Zhu Xiongying watched carefully, and he knew that in a few years, there would be several people added here, Zhongshan Wuning Wang Xu Da, Qiyang Wujing Wang Li Wenzhong, Dongou Xiangwu Wang Tanghe, Qianning Zhaojing Wang Muying.

"This is your grandfather!" Zhu Biao lit the incense and handed it over, "Go and offer incense to him!"

Zhu Xiongying picked it up carefully, and slowly wiped it in the incense burner in front of the statue of Chang Yuchun, then lifted her bottom clothes and knelt on the futon.

Obviously, as the grandson of the emperor, it is very wrong for him to kowtow to the heroes.But Zhu Biao just watched and didn't speak. On the contrary, there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!" Zhu Xiongying kowtowed.

Suddenly, Zhu Biao thought of something, and turned his face away fiercely.

When he turned his head again, his eyes were already red.

Among the founding heroes, he and Chang Yuchun are the closest.When he was a child, that hearty man, every time he saw him, he would hug him, raise him above his head, and call him my good son-in-law.
