First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40 The Founding Ceremony

Since the New Year's Day, the entire palace has been busy. Although Zhu Biao is not busy, he can still feel it.

Zhu Biao glanced at the sky, it was still covered by clouds, but the people from Qin Tianjian said, "It will definitely clear up on the day of the ceremony!"

Of course, Zhu Biao didn't think this was what people like them said. They have always been [-]% sure to say [-]%. It is estimated that they were forced by Zhu Yuanzhang.

As time passed, it was the grand ceremony tomorrow morning. Zhu Biao changed into a red four-clawed dragon robe early. This was the crown prince's dress, and it was specially prepared by the officials of the Ministry of Rites by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is estimated that many people could not sleep that night.

Zhu Biao was also in high spirits and was not ready to go to bed at all. The four little girls and Liu Jin looked at Zhu Biao with tears in their eyes. This was what they depended on for their entire lives, and they were all in one.

Zhu Biao stood in the yard, watching the sky turn from black to bright, and the fiery red sun finally showed his face.

With the shaking in the mansion, Zhang Yuanquanxu came to greet him. Zhu Biao glanced at the people behind him, and walked out of the palace with a smile surrounded by a group of people. Colorful flags were planted on both sides of the road, and five carriages were prepared in front of Fengtian Hall for the emperor and the queen and other royal personnel who were preparing to participate in the ceremony.

Zhu Biao's carriage was behind the emperor and the queen, and the mighty carriage marched to Zijin Mountain. When the auspicious time arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang walked alone to the altar that had been set up a long time ago.

Zhu Biao stood beside Ma, watching the figure of Zhu Yuanzhang move forward step by step. The figure was not majestic but stepped on everyone's heart like a god.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the altar that symbolized the heaven and earth and the altar. The sacrificial sacrifice of the altar was the top priority. Generally, the altar was "set up as a community". , white, red, black, and yellow" five-color soil cover, which is the so-called five-color soil.

In the east, yimu belongs to blue, in the west, geng metal is white, in the south, Lihuo belongs to red, in the north, sunflower water belongs to black, and in the center, Wutu belongs to yellow."
Zhu Yuanzhang knelt in front of the altar in the figure of Gongmian, praying to the sky, praying for good weather, praying for the earth, praying for the harvest of the earth, offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and praying for the eternal survival of the motherland!
Then Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and slowly turned around to look at the crowd. The crowd all over the mountains knelt down at the same time and shouted long live!
There is no one in the world who can stand in front of him!

Zhu Yuanzhang dignified everyone to get up, and then changed into a new dragon robe at the request of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

This is the completion of the sacrifice to heaven. Heaven and earth have assigned the authority of the human world to the emperor, down to all living beings, up to ghosts and gods. Only the emperor can decide everything!

Zhu Yuanzhang took the queen onto the dragon carriage, which was driven by six snow-white horses.

Zhu Yuanzhang led the civil and military officials back to the palace. On both sides of the road, there were soldiers holding colorful flags. When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, two officials of the Ministry of Rites held their commendations and entered the palace. At this time, the palace was decorated with lanterns and bright red lanterns. hang.

The drumming started at the beginning of the shift. Although it was midnight in winter, the officials still put on their court clothes and stood waiting outside the Meridian Gate, while the ritual officials entered the courtroom in the palace to report preparations.

At the third watch, officials below the prime minister entered the palace, and the new emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the emperor's throne wearing a dragon robe. At this time, the drum music rang out in unison, and after the drum music stopped, the officials in charge of holding the emperor's seal, put this power over. The symbol is placed on the treasure case.

Zhu Yuanzhang placed the emperor's seal on the edict of enthronement!After the Minister of Rites received the edict, he took out the Fengtian Temple and placed it in the Dragon Court, which was carried by someone outside the Meridian Gate.

Then, under the escort of drums and ceremonial guards as well as civil and military officials, they went out of Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, and Duanmen to the outer city towers.The summoner came to the stage and stood facing west to read the edict.

"Fengtian Chengyun emperor and edict said: I am only the king of China. Since the end of the Song Dynasty, the real person was sent to the desert and entered into China to be the master of the world. It has been passed down to the descendants for more than a hundred years, and today's fortune will also end. Fighting. I am a common people in Huaihe, I am blessed by the heaven, and the spirit of my ancestors will take advantage of the autumn of chasing the deer, and I will make heroes and sages around. All the people in Huaihuai, Zhejiang, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Lake, Hunan, Han, Mian, Fujian and Guangxi The barbarians in Shandong and the southwestern counties, and the robbers everywhere, have repeatedly ordered the generals and generals to show their might and force, and the Quartet is settled, the people are safe in the fields."

"Today, the ministers of civil and military affairs, the hundreds of ministers and the concubines, have joined together to persuade me to enter, respect me as the emperor, and take charge of Qianli."

"Following the public's request, on the fourth day of the first month of the second year of Wu, I announced the sacrifice of heaven and earth on the sun of Zhongshan Mountain, that is, the emperor was located in the southern suburbs. There must be the name of the world called Daming, Jianyuan Hongwu. Respectfully visit the Taimiao, and honor the four generations of the imperial concubine. The emperor and the queen. Established a large society and a large plant in the capital. Canonized Ma as the queen, and established the prince as the crown prince."

"Announcement to the world, Xian envoys hear it."

Because it is high and sacred, it sounds like the sound of the sky.At this time, the civil and military officials in the south of the Jinshui Bridge under the city tower and those invited to watch the ceremony lined up in the order of their official positions, facing the north and kneeling, three kneeling and nine kowtows, to thank the emperor for his kindness.

After the edict was read out, the imperial edict rolled up the edict, placed it on a wooden plate shaped like a cloud, and came to the golden phoenix platform in the middle of the gate of the tower.

Put the title of the edict in the mouth of the wooden carved golden phoenix, then hang the golden phoenix with a yellow velvet rope, stamp it from the middle of the outer city tower, and slowly lower it, to express the order of the emperor and the emperor, the golden phoenix rides on the clouds and descends from the sky .

At this time, an official of the Ministry of Rites had already dragged the cloud disk and knelt down to pick it up, and the edict in Jin Feng's mouth just fell into the cloud disk.

At this point, the ceremonial officer waved the whip to signal everyone to be quiet.Under the guidance of the ceremonial staff, the officials lined up to enter and stood at their salute positions. From the time the officials entered to the station, the music played at regular intervals, just like the current large-scale event VIPs have to play some music when they enter the venue. Yes, when you worship, you must kneel and bow, and the ritual officials must perform a "worship dance", and at the same time shout "Long live my emperor, long live", and you have to shout three times in a row.

This is the completion of the emperor's enthronement ceremony!

After that, the first court meeting of the new dynasty will start, and the queen will lead the princes to retire, and Zhu Biao is no exception.

The prince does not need to go to court without the emperor's order, and there is no position for him below. After all, he is not a civil servant, nor is he in the ranks of honorable people.

As soon as I exited the Dafengtian Temple, I was stopped by a eunuch, "His Royal Highness, the sage asked you to wait here.

Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Biao, "Your father is probably going to announce your vassal of the East Palace, just wait here."
