Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 49 The Red Tape of Nobles

As the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying still has some sense of propriety.

Even though he likes to go to the shipyard now, he has also been involved in domestic funds. Many civil and military people know about the situation of the Shipbuilding Department, and they know that the grandson of the emperor is messing around.

But the hands of the emperor's grandson basically did not extend into the court, or they were only quite limited.

Now in the sixth department of the imperial court, the emperor's grandson is more interested in the Ministry of Industry.More precisely, there are four divisions under the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Xiongying is also interested in the Ministry of Cleaning Up Officials, because there is a black kiln factory, Liuli Factory, Shenmu Factory... Simply put, it is wood, fuel, etc. As for the other duties of the Department of Cleaning Up Officials Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about it.

The Dushui Qingli Division also has a little influence from Zhu Xiongying, mainly because part of the work here is to build warships.The Yuheng Qingli Department, the Tuntian Qingli Department, and Zhu Xiongying also have a little involvement. Some departments are in charge of military weapons, or manage coal mines in various places and supply official fuel.

In order to prevent the disclosure of the production methods of gunpowder and firearms, these things are also under the control of the inner government.

Zhu Xiongying has a little say in the inner prison, and the military bureau is his man.The palm print eunuch and the admiral's armory eunuch were all brought by Wang Chengen himself from Lao Zhu, because not only the firearms are in charge here, but the gunpowder department is also in charge here.

This is part of the strength of the Twelve Supervisors, the Fourth Division, the Eighth Bureau, and others, headed by eunuchs and female officials.It's just that these people can be regarded as the emperor's domestic slaves, and they are relatively easier to control.

Both the emperor and the prince knew some of the emperor's grandson's thoughts.If the grandson of the emperor wants to do something, he can do it.As long as it's not too much, it's fine, just like what Lao Zhu did to Zhu Biao back then, he is still willing to delegate power.

Zhu Xiongying naturally knew that the next sacrifice would be very serious and formal, but he didn't need to worry so much.The prince Zhu Biao needs to be in charge of the overall situation, and Lao Zhu will lead the prince, grandson, civil and military officials to participate in the worship.

Zhu Xiongying, who was sleeping well, was called up by Wang Chengen and began to wash.

Both Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are dressed in county crown clothes, with nine-pronged crowns, Xuanyi clothes, five chapters of dragons, mountains, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi painted on the clothes, and four patterns of embroidered algae, pink rice, 黼, and 軻. There are nine chapters in total.

Zhu Xiongying looked at his crown uniform again, and it turned out to be the same as the crown uniform of these two younger brothers.

Usually I don't think there is any problem, but looking at it now, there are some problems.

Leading the younger brothers to the Meridian Gate, Zhu Xiongying felt that the problem was even bigger.The Crown Prince's uniforms are actually the same. Lao Zhu's sons who have not yet entered the domain, their crowns are the same as those of the Eastern Palace Prince.

That is to say, Lao Zhu is different, with black clothes and yellow clothes and twelve chapters, which no one else dares to wear.

Daming seems to be 22 years after the founding of the country, but sometimes there is still little distinction between the crown prince and the prince's crown and clothes.Or it could be said that the previous Lao Zhu intentionally or unintentionally made the princes and princes wear almost the same clothes, so that these princes also had some glory.

In the eyes of some people, the costumes of the Ming royal family are not particularly standard.

This is not possible, Zhu Xiongying thinks that these things must be taken seriously, and what should be differentiated still needs to be distinguished.

In fact, in the first year of Hongwu, Tao An, a bachelor, asked to make five crowns, which were five kinds of costumes worn by the emperor on five different occasions.

There have also been some changes over the years.In the third year of Hongwu, there was a change, and in the 16th year of Hongwu, the system of crown crown was also established.But the crown prince, prince, prince's son, etc. are still a bit messy.

If Zhu Xiongying didn't mention it, maybe it was Hongwu's 26th year custom.

In fact, it's not just that the current princes and grandchildren's clothes are a bit messy, but even though the court has roughly established a system.But there are still some changes now, and there is no thorough and complete unification.

When Zhu Xiongying was still thinking about it, his two younger brothers obediently went to the team of the prince and grandson, and their positions were at the back.And Zhu Xiongying went to the front of the already scheduled shift, anyway, he was also the second heir in name.

Under the leadership of Prince Zhu Biao, and with the band playing by the Jiaofang Division, the team marched to Fengtian Temple.

After the four kowtows of all officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites knelt down and bowed four times, "I have the original name of Li, an official, and I meet Zhengdan, Sanyang Kaitai, and all things are salty and new. Your majesty the emperor, I will be a Gannahu, and I will worship the sky forever!"

All the officials bowed again, stood up and stood up.

The official came out from the east gate, walked to Majesty Dan, faced east, and said, "The emperor has a decree."

The praise officer said loudly, "Kneel!"

When all the officials knelt down again, the Chuanzhiguan shouted, "The celebration of taking office is equal to Qing!"

At the end of the ceremony and music, the praise officer shouted loudly, "Shanhu!"

Baiguan raised his hand above his head and said loudly, "Long live!"

The praise officer said, "Shanhu!"

Baiguan continued to respond, "Long live!"

"Mountain hoo!"

"Long live!"

This is the completion of Asahi...

Zhu Xiongying was tortured a lot, but it was not bad.Some princes are only four or five years old now, and they have to learn obediently.Including some civil and military ministers in their 70s and [-]s, they dare not be careless at such a moment. Dishonesty is a serious crime.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to worry about his younger brothers now, those two children are no longer little kids, they are both appointed county kings.

The whole morning was busy with congratulations and sacrifices, and Zhu Xiongying was very tired.If you pay attention to the ancient red tape, it is not ordinary.Lao Zhu usually doesn't care about these things, but he won't be sloppy at such a moment.

"What kind of British aristocrat, wearing a tuxedo and holding a silver plate is an aristocrat." Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but slander, "The old ancestor's stuff, it's not a joke to be particular about it!"

"It's not good to call you sir, you have to use lord, sitting in a 400-year-old Harry Potter-style old house, with aristocratic spirit, barbaric to civilized. I think some people are just too full to eat!"

Mechanically follow hundreds of officials to worship and sacrifice, Zhu Xiongying dare not be sloppy about these, and he can't be sloppy at such a moment.

After offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, Old Zhu whispered, "Ying'er be patient a little longer, we're going to have a big banquet later."

"Grandfather, the royal banquet is not good." Zhu Xiongying said in a low voice, "Grandson is the grandson of the emperor, and he must behave like a royal in every move. It's better to eat with grandpa at ease, and there is no need to talk about politeness."

Zhu Biao coughed and said, "Drink less alcohol and water. When the time comes, let your grandpa give you food first, and then give you two more dishes for your father. Pad your stomach first, and there are indeed many rules for a big banquet."

That's right, whether it's drinking or using chopsticks, Zhu Xiongying can only move chopsticks in the order that the emperor starts and the prince follows.After these three move, the civil and military officials can move their chopsticks, and the order is orderly!
Even the dishes are different.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and asked, "Ru Yu is now the right deputy capital censor, remember to give the food."

Lao Zhu also said, "We remember that Naha's second son was also under your account, don't forget to give food."

For these civil and military officials, delicacies from mountains and seas may not be so fresh.But things like giving vegetables more still represent their status.

As the grandson's team, now those who are eligible to enter the banquet are Ruyu and Buddhist slaves, Zhu Xiongying also wants to give them some dignity.

This new year is really not easy. For feudal kings, every move has a deep meaning in many cases.

Naturally, Zhu Xiongying also knew about these things, let alone these monarchs, princes and grandchildren, even court wives could not be idle at this time.Although there is no queen, Concubine Guo Ning acts as an agent for the harem.Even the prince's side concubine, Lu family, ordered the wives to go to congratulate her.

After the banquet was over, Zhu Xiongying immediately followed Zhu Biao to the East Palace, followed by all civil and military officials to congratulate him.

During Chinese New Year, it is normal to be a little tired.

Zhu Xi pushed open the door of Zhu Xiongying's bedroom and said, "Brother Emperor, the Lu family has overstepped a lot today!"

Zhu Xiongying sat up and said angrily, "How old are you, and Brother Du Huang's bedroom doesn't know how to tell people!"

Zhu Xi curled his lips and said, "Now are you talking about etiquette? Do you want to listen?"

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Xiongying collapsed on the couch and said angrily, "I'm exhausted from today's day, and my calf is twisted!"

Zhu Xi immediately said, "Brother Emperor, Mrs. Lu is sitting in the right seat today!"

Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Does anyone talk to her a lot? Do you remember who it is?"

Zhu Xi immediately said, "Yue'er is staring! There are a few people she doesn't know, and two maids stopped us intentionally or unintentionally."

Zhu Xiongying spoke immediately and said, "Let Wang Chengen take away those slaves who committed crimes."

Lu's maid, Zhu Xiongying really doesn't care!
