Emperor Ming's grandson

Emperor Hongwu is on a grand tour, and many people need to get busy.

The Ministry of Rites needs to sue the Heaven and Earth Clan Society, and it also needs to sue the funeral date at the same time.All officials are obedient, fasting for three days is of course necessary, but also need to cry day and night for three days, etc., all of which need to be done according to the rules.

Zhu Yunying knelt in front of the coffin with a haggard look, her eyes glazed over.He thought he was ready, that he might be able to accept all this calmly.He even sometimes thought that this might be a relief for his grandfather.

Zhu Yunying couldn't be more clear about what kind of person Grandpa Huang is.The loss of his father in his youth, his spouse in his middle age, and his son in his old age all happened to his grandfather, and his grandfather was a person who valued family affection so much.

Over the past few years, his grandfather has been holding on, and now he finally doesn't need to continue to hold on.

Perhaps for Lao Zhu, the last few years of his life were very painful, and he could only keep remembering his relatives.Maybe he is also happy, his grandson is promising, and his great-grandson is always by his side.

Xu Miaoqing's eyes were red, and she carefully comforted her, "Your Majesty, go and rest."

Zhu Yunying raised her head, looked at Xu Miaoqing and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"Go and rest." Xu Miaoqing said rather worriedly, "The emperor's grandpa is doing well, and the prince is very sad."

Zhu Yunying sighed, and said, "He has been with the emperor since he was a child, and he is very close to the emperor. He is just a child. Now that the emperor's grandfather Longyu has passed away, the prince may feel bad for a while. Go and see him. Talk to him more."

Xu Miaoqing still persuaded, "Your Majesty, you should also go and rest. Grandpa Huang has a spirit in heaven, and he must be worried when he sees you like this."

Princess Anqing also said, "Ying'er, just listen to the queen. You go to the side hall to rest and have a little something to eat. The emperor certainly doesn't want to see you like this. The emperor and the empress have always been thinking about you, don't you?" To make them uneasy."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and adjusted her kneeling position, "Sister, we are fine, we know what's going on. In fact, we also understand that the emperor's grandfather left easily, which is good. The emperor's grandfather has suffered all his life. it is good."

Princess Anqing almost didn't cry, her father almost never had a few days of easy life in his life.Others said that Emperor Hongwu was the most respected person in the world, but perhaps the happiest father was those few years.

Looking at Lao Zhu's god position, Zhu Yunying said, "Think about it, we should have done better, but we also made him worry and annoyed. He doted on us so much, but the ones we did Things are really out of order.”

Princess Ningguo quickly persuaded, "Ying'er, don't think so. Father loves you the most, not only in front of you, but also in front of us. He always praises you when you are mentioned. You I have never disappointed my father, and my father likes you the most."

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Auntie, we know, you don't need to say more, we know it well. Maybe we are not bad, but we should have done better. If we don't talk about it now, it will only increase Sad. You also go to rest, let's talk with Grandpa Huang." …

The emperor did not leave, and the others naturally did not dare to leave either.Even if the emperor left, the clan's children should still be here to guard the spirit.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying asked, "Where is Shuangquan?"

Shuangquan soon appeared, knelt down in front of Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, I beg you to go straight to the toilet."

Zhu Yunying sighed, and said, "Sweep the households in the free mausoleum directly, you can go to Xiaoling Mausoleum, the Sacrificial Sacrifice Office. After all these years, you are still quite capable in front of the emperor's grandfather."

Shuang Quan kowtowed in grief, and was also very grateful, "My servant thanked Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "We may not be able to go to Xiaoling often in the future, you must sacrifice with all your heart. In the future, we will also bury you in Xiaoling. You served the emperor's grandfather when you were alive, and you will follow the emperor's grandfather after death." .”

Shuangquan was so grateful that she couldn't speak.Being able to be buried with Xiaoling is the treatment only given to important ministers.It is an incomparable kindness that he, a man who is still alive, can be buried with Xiaoling.

Wang Cheng'en next to him was a little envious of both. If he was blessed to be buried with him, it would be a great grace.

Seeing Shuangquan leave, Zhu Yunying asked, "It's time to prepare, but are you still ready?"

This is naturally the funeral, and it will be triggered soon, and many things cannot be sloppy.

At this time, Zhu Wei said, "Your Majesty, officials have been sent to prepare. The shrines, ceremonial wine, fruit and food are all ready. Officials have been sent to offer sacrifices to Jinshui Bridge, Meridian Gate, Duanmen, Chengtianmen, and Daming Gate. , Deshengmen and the bridge across the river, the gods in Kyoto and the shrines that should be worshiped."

It was also the last night, Zhu Yunying just took a nap, and then started to prepare.

Zhu Yunying made a speech and led the crowd to start offering sacrifices.At this time, the supervisor of ceremonies, the Ministry of Rites, and the deacons of Jinyiwei ordered Dasheng and Chen's funeral to wait outside the Meridian Gate and Daming Gate.

In the early hours of the morning, when the imperial city was completely deserted, Zhu Yunying and Xiao Zhu bowed four times.Lay silk, offer wine, read blessings, and worship four times.Raise mourning, elation, mourning stop, hope.

Zhu Wei and others also cleaned the coffin at this time, and then amidst the sorrow of countless people, some powerful men carried the coffin onto the car carrying the coffin of the emperor.

The official funeral began, and Zhu Yunying sadly announced that he would wake up.Even Zhu Yunying couldn't send him off too far respectfully, he could only watch the spirit car carrying Lao Zhu slowly leave the Meridian Gate.

The emperor can't do whatever he wants most of the time, he can indeed go directly to the funeral.But if he establishes such a rule now, even if the result is a complete ceremony, the funeral of future generations will also have such a standard and ceremony.

There is basically no suspense in the battle for the throne in the Ming Dynasty, but many people also understand that once the emperor dies, the crown prince will immediately ascend the throne.The new king has just succeeded to the throne, so there is still uncertainty.If the funeral of the new king caused turmoil in the imperial city, it would not be impossible!

So Zhu Yunying could only be sent to the Meridian Gate, and then handed over to Xiaoxiao Zhu, as well as the clan and officials.

"That's good, we're all gone." Back in the clean Qianqing Palace, looking at the empty bedroom, Zhu Yunying said to himself, "Grandfather, we will take care of the rest. Don't worry too much." , we will definitely be a good emperor and heal the Daming Sheji!” …

Dazed and dazed, this is Zhu Yunying's state, obviously he can't regain his spirit all at once.Even if I think I have made some preparations, I have experienced some things, but at this moment, I still can't adjust my state quickly.

Regarding the current state of the emperor, many people are naturally more worried, but they all obviously know that even if they want to comfort him more at this time, it will actually have no effect, and all of this needs to be thought out by the emperor himself.

These are obvious truths, and everyone is well aware of all this.Perhaps the one who can comfort the current emperor at this time is the real close person of the emperor.

And the death of Emperor Hongwu didn't seem to have so many special emotions for many people.

In some people's eyes, Emperor Hongwu was just the founding king of the Ming Dynasty, especially since the emperor had abdicated for four years, and he did not listen to politics behind a curtain.Therefore, the power of the government has been transferred long ago, and Emperor Hongwu's influence in the court has become smaller and smaller in the past two years, and his death does not seem to have too much disturbance.

Some people even think that Emperor Hongwu is too strict, and they may not have a good impression of Emperor Hongwu.Of course, many people also know that today's people are not lenient, but they are always a little bit stronger than Emperor Hongwu.

Emperor Hongwu passed away, and Yingshi Tianzi took control of Daming in a legitimate way, which can be regarded as a complete alternation.

Xu Miaoqing brought some meals, and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, let's have some meals."

Zhu Yunying smiled, picked up a bowl of porridge and ate it, "How is the prince?"

Xu Miaoqing sighed and said, "I'm still a little sad. Your Majesty also knows that Yin'er and Grandpa Huang are very close. Now that Grandpa Huang is not here, Yin'er really can't let go."

Zhu Yunying could only say, "That's something that can't be helped. Talk to him more these days. Let's not talk about these things, even us adults can't accept it for a while."

It's also true that, for some adults, the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming.And for those children who have not fully grown up, it may be even more difficult for them to accept these at this time.

Especially little Zhu has always been in front of Lao Zhu, and he also knows that his great-grandfather is his biggest backer and dotes on him in every possible way.Now that her great-grandfather passed away, it would be unrealistic for little Zhu to be able to digest these things.

Perhaps time can heal all this. For Xiao Xiao Zhu, if time is longer, he may be able to forget the grief now.

The reason is actually very simple. Little Zhu is a child after all, even if he is more mature in some things than his peers.But in the final analysis, he is still a child, so maybe little Zhu will gradually forget many things after a while.

Now it seems that this is the only expectation. After all, many people can't remember what happened before the age of ten, and they can only have a little impression of it.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying had eaten some food, Xu Miaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, my concubine shouldn't talk too much. It is also a blessing that the emperor's grandfather, Long Yu, has returned to heaven. The emperor's grandfather cared about his relatives the most, and he was free from illness and disaster before leaving. .”  …

This can be regarded as the truth, Lao Zhu is not too young, and it is not painful to leave.For many elderly people, these are indeed a blessing.

Why doesn't Zhu Yunying understand this truth? Lao Zhu left in such a state, which can be regarded as a blessing for Lao Zhu.For the children and grandchildren, seeing Lao Zhu leaving in a relatively relaxed state is somewhat comforting.

Probably the most important thing is that Lao Zhu had no pain and no regrets when he left.

"You are the queen, and you have to work hard these days." Zhu Yunying also knew that he should do something, and said, "You should worry more about sacrifices and blessings. You should also worry about the children of the clan and the wives." Let them pray for Grandpa Huang."

Xu Miaoqing naturally understood that these things are also the queen's duty, and she really needs to do well in these things.

Naturally, Zhu Yunying also needs to do a good job as the emperor, and there is no way to completely stop many things at this time.In fact, Lao Zhu's posthumous title is Emperor Xiaogao and his temple title Taizu. These are already established things, and they don't even need to be discussed in the court at all.

But this does not mean that everyone will be relaxed in the next period of time. It is true that Emperor Hongwu has left, and it seems that a new chapter is about to be opened.It's just that at this time, as an emperor, he needs to sort out the affairs of the court, and he can't delay many things big and small in the court.

Perhaps in the next period of time, there will be some memorials piled up on Zhu Yunying's funeral, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will talk about some people's faux pas, disrespect, etc. during the funeral of Emperor Hongwu.

If such a thing really happens, then there is no need to be surprised, Zhu Yunying is very clear that it will happen in many dynasties.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the change of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no turmoil caused by the death of an emperor.Many things can even be said to be very stable, so stable that people feel a little abnormal, and even feel that everything is so natural.

There are quite a few things that Zhu Yunying needs to do, the main reason is that there are indeed many things that need to be done in the next period of time.

In the final analysis, there are still many major events happening. After the death of Emperor Hongwu, many people can realize that the matter of moving the capital is about to reach a climax.

Some people may think about trying to use the mantis' arms as a car at this time, and thinking about fighting with the last chance at this time.Although this matter was determined when Emperor Hongwu was in power, now that Emperor Hongwu is gone, there may be some opportunities.

Perhaps some civil and military officials also had some expectations, and they felt timid in the face of the powerful Hongwu Emperor.But without Emperor Hongwu as a backer, you can try to win some power from Emperor Yingshi.

Between the monarch and his ministers, it seems that they complement each other, but there has never been a lack of some power struggles, and everyone knows this in their hearts.

Zhu Yunying understands these truths, and many civil and military officials also understand this truth.In the next period of time, there may be some fights in the court, which are very likely to happen.

It will not be too easy, everyone knows that the next period of time is very critical.

The death of Emperor Hongwu will actually have some aftermath, and many people will pay attention to some developments during this period.

Then let's fight, Zhu Yunying will not feel that there is anything strange about these things, just get used to them.

The emperor is like this, all kinds of struggles always exist, and there are indeed many struggles for power and profit, and there is no way to stop.
