Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 301 Funeral
For the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, getting up early was not a special treatment at all, it was something they were used to.

Don't call it bitter or tired, those who are eligible to go to court are all important ministers, and countless people have no chance to suffer this hardship.It is more important to go to court honestly and do your own work well.

When the civil and military officials lined up to enter the Fengtian Temple, they suddenly saw a majestic figure walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger.Although the man's hair was gray, his powerful aura for a moment made all civil and military officials terrified and terrified.

Don't ask where the emperor went today, everyone knows it well. At this time, it is most important to pretend to be confused, otherwise you will offend two generations of emperors.

What's more, the emperors have a tacit understanding. If they don't open their eyes at this time, they can stay in the prison of the Ministry of punishment at any time.Recently, roads and water conservancy projects are being built. Not to mention that the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are relatively empty, there are not many people in Laurie, the capital and county below, and there is a shortage of reform-through-labour prisoners.

Lao Zhu didn't bother to say much, there was no need to explain to the people below, and everyone was probably used to it.

When he did not abdicate, he became 'ill' from time to time, either as the prince or grandson.Now it's just a slight change of roles, and it's nothing to help his grandson take over the class. Anyway, Lao Zhu knows all about the important affairs of the court, so he is not afraid of troublesome problems.

There is no need to worry about anything on the side of the court. Naturally, it is because the emperor of Ming Dynasty is very "generous" in the government affairs of the court. It is not surprising that the emperor let the prince and grandson manage the affairs of the court. It is normal for the emperor to let the emperor know the political affairs. .

Now that the coercive Supreme Emperor is coming to court, everyone knows what the current emperor is doing, there is no need to ask the bottom line.

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, it seems that there is not much military martial law, etc., but many people know that this place is absolutely safe at this time.

Because this is the area of ​​the imperial mausoleum, Lao Zhu's Xiaoling Mausoleum is here, and Emperor Xiaokang's Dongling Tomb is also here. Naturally, some troops guarding the mausoleum are indispensable.And these armies are generally the most loyal.

What's more, at this time, many family members of civil and military ministers came, and they must bring some relatives and so on.

Princess Kaiping passed away, and she is about to be buried with King Kaiping.

Feng Cheng was rather envious. Chang Yuchun was able to be buried here, so naturally he was buried with him.To be able to bury Zhong Shan with him is the glory of a minister after his death.Although his father, Feng Guoyong, had made great contributions, he was not qualified to be buried here.

Although Chang Yuchun's tomb looks small, the stone carvings of Wengzhong, Shishi, and Shiyang next to the Shinto can explain its status.The mighty and majestic stone-carved generals with swords in both hands and helmets pierced through armor also illustrate Chang Yuchun's status and achievements.

Zhu Yue glanced at her husband and son-in-law who rushed over, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything done over there?"

"Well, it's all done." Feng Cheng lowered his voice, and then asked in a low voice, "Do we really want to wear sackcloth and mourning?"

Zhu Yue glared, looking a little angry, "You are Lord Hou, can't you dress our grandmother in sackcloth and mourning?"

Feng Cheng had no choice but to explain, "We, His Majesty asked us to be on guard, so we can't go to the armor. If we wear sackcloth and mourning now, we will be impeached by some people, maybe we also offended my grandmother!"

Zhu Yue thought for a while, then said, "Then you should tie a hemp rope around your waist."

Feng Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked, "Why are you wearing these?"

Zhu Yue was dressed in a princess dress, this kind of attire was too heavy, and it was actually not suitable to wear it on such an occasion.

"Qi'er and Lin'er were picked up by the emperor's wife." Zhu Yue lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "You have some eyesight, so you can do whatever you want, Brother Huang."

While they were chatting, many people were actually looking at and discussing in private.This time, Huaixi Xungui's side naturally came to express condolences. If the head of the family couldn't come, he must have sent his descendants.Some surviving family members of the founding fathers also came at this time.

Including some civil servants, family members were also sent at this time.

Everyone knows Zhu Yue's identity.This is the "eldest princess", and the eldest princess Zhu Xi who is far away in Yunnan is the younger sister of the current emperor, and is greatly favored.

And Zhu Yunxue was dressed in the crown of a prince, standing on the side of the road with a solemn expression, and next to him was the standing Sang family.Even though Sang's is usually domineering, she doesn't dare to be sloppy at this time.Even if she is pregnant now, what should come will still come, let alone a collision, this does not exist.

After all, it is a funeral, so it is necessary to be solemn at this time, even if many people come here this time, they just want to show off, or not to bring some troubles to the family.

After all, she is the emperor's grandmother. Although she doesn't seem to have made a big deal, it's just said that that's what Princess Kaiping means.If the emperor said that he really didn't care, it would be a lie. The emperor might have to remember who didn't come to express their condolences, and who wasn't sad enough.

While everyone was still standing, a relatively low-key carriage came slowly, surrounded by some relatively 'low-key' guards.

The white-faced and beardless Wang Chengen trotted and opened the curtain, and Zhu Yunying, who was wearing the emperor's uniform, got off the carriage, reached out to help Xu Miaoqing down, and picked up the crown prince.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Chen Wuyinghou's son pays his respects to His Majesty."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

"The concubine pays homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness is forever!"

This can be regarded as the most distinguished family in the Ming Dynasty. When they came out, there were naturally a lot of voices kneeling down and asking for peace.

With a serious expression, Zhu Yunying said, "Today is my grandmother's burial, let's make it up."

At this time Xu Miaoqing also said slowly, "Eldest Princess, Princess Wu, follow me."

After saying this, Xu Miaoqing led Xiao Zhu and walked forward slowly.Sang with a big belly looked at Ma proudly. She was Zhu Yunqi's wife. Ma didn't get such treatment. She was an 'outsider' after all.

Little Zhu stretched out her hand to push aside the 'bead curtain' in front of her eyes, a little puzzled, "Mother, son and father together."

Little Zhu is very smart, and usually calls her father and mother.But once the dress is more formal, the title will be more formal.But after all, he is also a child of the old Zhu family, no matter how formal it is, it will not be very formal.

Lao Zhu usually doesn't like to call himself 'Zhen', and words like 'We' and 'I' appear from time to time in imperial edicts.Zhu Yunying is a little bit better, the imperial decree basically uses 'zhen', but it's just an imperial decree.

Zhu Yue supported Sang Shi and walked over, and also heard Xu Miaoqing's voice, "You go with your mother first, see your cousins, and then go to your father."

Zhu Yue and the others are quite happy, although today's day is basically better for younger brothers and sisters.It's just that everyone can see that today's world has always been very clear about intimacy and estrangement.

Zhu Yunqi and their wives, concubines, and children eagerly came over to bury their nominal grandmother. This was not because of their filial piety, but simply to show the emperor.Their performance might have had some effect, but the emperor didn't seem particularly concerned.

Of course, if they dared not come, the emperor would not say anything, but "settling accounts after autumn" is probably indispensable.

Sang also knew very well that the imperial brother in her eyes was the current emperor, and Zhu Yunqi was not her imperial brother.It's a respect to Zhu Yue, but seeing Zhu Yunqi's concubine Ma Shi, then the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes.

Of course, although Mrs. Ma is a prince and concubine, this woman from a civil servant's family is also more dutiful and courteous.Sang's family is vulgar, and Ma's doesn't care about her, and she doesn't dare to care about her. Her husband is King Xu, and Sang's husband is the most honorable prince of the Ming Dynasty, King Wu.

Zhu Yunying didn't care about these 'gong fights', he just walked in front with a serious expression, and Zhu Yunying immediately followed obediently.Zhu Yunxuan was still very smart, and immediately led Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi to follow, after all, Chang Lan was their grandmother in name.

In fact, some of Zhu Yunying's elders also sent their wives and sons here this time. His uncles also wanted to show that they were mourning the birth mother of the emperor's wife Chang in name, not because of the current emperor's opinion. In face.

After all, there is still some superficial work to be done. Even if everyone knows it well, it is still necessary to do some superficial work at this time.

It must be a decision. In fact, many people are discussing in private these days, such as the specifications and etiquette of Chang Lan's funeral.

Some people think that today's son might go there in person, but thinking about it, it seems that the emperor hasn't been around much with the Chang family in recent years, and it's hard to guarantee that the emperor won't go there in person. After all, there are still many important affairs in court.

But looking at it now, the emperor not only came here in person, but also brought the queen and the crown prince. It's not beautiful enough, even the queen's funeral may not have such treatment!
Zhu Yunying just stood quietly by the road, looking into the distance with a solemn expression.

Little Zhu came, and the little guy brought some of his cousins, and Zhu Ruyi, who was a little unsteady, was also standing holding Xiao Zhu's body at this time.

Slowly, a convoy appeared in the distance.

Zhu Yunying slowly opened his arms, and Wang Chengen immediately took out a hemp rope from a plate covered with yellow cloth and tied it around Zhu Yunying's waist.Taking the white cloth, Zhu Yunying tied it on his forehead.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Let the emperor wear hemp and filial piety, this is not acceptable!

It's just that just when someone objected, they saw a cold look in today's eyes, so it's better not to say anything at this time.

Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Yunxie and said, "Dai Haoxiao, let's pick up grandma!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly put on his filial piety, and by the way personally put his filial piety on little Zhu himself.

Zhu Yunying took his son and daughter by the hand, not paying any attention to the wary eyes of the family members of the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground.

Walking to the road, facing the direction of the coffin, Zhu Yunying knelt down and shouted loudly, "The unfilial grandson Zhu Xiongying and his son Zhu Wenyin and daughter Zhu Ruyi welcome grandma!"

When Zhu Yunying knelt down and bowed down, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help crying, and howled loudly, "Grandmother, the emperor's brother is here to see you, you also look at us, look at elder brother!"
