I want to be a grandson

Chapter 30 Zhu Di
Zigong Faci: It is commonly known as "funeral" among the people.

It is to bury the coffins of the emperor and empress from the palace into the cemetery.In ancient times, there was a saying that "the emperor was buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month" in ancient times.

During the burial period of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, only the empress had a record of "no exceptions within a hundred days" issued by Zigong.

In history, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum seven days after his death, but the worship ceremony was stopped after Guangzong's death, which was called "Yu Li" in ancient times.

There are nine times of Yuli, the first to seventh times are held on the road, and the eighth Yuli is held outside the capital, all of which are presided over by mourning officials.After the ceremony of Jiuyu, the Lord of God attached to the Ancestral Temple, and so far, the funeral ceremony came to an end.

And Zhu Biao is not the emperor, so he just needs to choose an auspicious day to be buried, and because there are still many people outside the city who have been waiting there.

Perhaps because they knew that the funeral of Prince Zhu Biao was approaching, more and more people went to Chengtianmen to inquire about the news, wanting to know when the prince's funeral would be held.

In the original history, the prince Zhu Biao died on April 25, but according to historical records, he was buried in Xiaoling in August.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear the people to wait any longer, and it was not good to gather like this, and the normal life order in the capital was greatly affected.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a nearby auspicious day, and to bury him seven days later.

Hundreds of officials need to put on clothes to see off, and they have to cry all the way to the suburbs, that is, near the imperial mausoleum.

When preparing to go to the funeral, the palace has to go through a lot of cumbersome etiquettes over and over again, because the etiquettes are too cumbersome, I really can't bear to repeat them, it's just dazzling.

Anyway, it is to keep prostrating and changing different clothes in different places. Finally, the coffin cannot be driven out for the funeral until all the preparations are completed.

You need to walk out of the palace gate all the time, and then change to a horse to go to the imperial mausoleum.

And you can't be idle on this road, you need to cry day and night on the way.Because in the places along the way, officials and wives below the fourth rank, as well as military and civilian elders, military households and artisan households that have been inherited from generation to generation set up sacrifices along the way.

After arriving at the imperial mausoleum, you still need to go to the dedication hall to salute, first of all, you must perform the Yu ceremony.

For the first offering, you need to offer silk and wine, then you need to read the text, after reading it, you have to salute, and finally there is the second offering (the second offering of wine) and the last offering (the third offering of wine), and finally there are four more kowtows .

On the day of the funeral, Zhu Yunxi only felt that he was at the mercy of others like a marionette.

This set of cumbersome procedures is difficult to memorize, let alone implement.

Fortunately, there are officials from the Ministry of Rites to guide him, and he only needs to follow the instructions, so that there will be no mistakes.

On this day, Zhu Yunxi did not cry loudly like his elder brother Zhu Yunqi, but the tears flowed endlessly, with unspeakable pain.

Since then, I have been separated from my father and have never seen each other again...

Without my father, I can only walk the road ahead by myself. I can only face the storm by myself. There is no big tree to shelter me from the wind and rain, and there is no shelter...

So Zhu Yunxi cried very sadly, crying from the bottom of his heart.

If there is an afterlife, we will still be father and son!
Zhu Biao's funeral is destined to be grand, not because of the grandness of the equipment, but because of the mourners.

The common people voluntarily buried the prince and sent them all the way to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, weeping and wailing along the way, with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Throughout the ages, there is no prince who has won the hearts of the people so much, none other than Zhu Biao, the prince of Ming Dynasty!
When the prince Zhu Biao was buried, the news of his death also spread to the various vassals through the post station.

Because the prince's death was not something urgent, so he didn't use the highest speed to convey it, but even so, the postman galloped for more than three hundred miles a day.

Faced with the death of their elder brothers, most of the vassal kings were in pain and sorrow, with tears in their eyes.

Although he was born in the emperor's family, the prince Zhu Biao had determined the identity of the heir early on, and all the vassal kings went to the vassals after they reached adulthood.

Therefore, there was no farce among them fighting for the throne, so the relationship is still very good.

In addition, the prince Zhu Biao knows etiquette very well, and the elder brother also takes good care of the younger brothers, so he is very prestigious and popular among the brothers.

When he heard that Prince Zhu Biao was gone, he was naturally sad and wept.

But there are exceptions.

Nanjing is more than [-] miles away from Beiping, but the Fourth Prince Yan Wang Zhu Di received the news early.

"This subordinate has met His Royal Highness King Yan!"

At this time, a fifty-year-old monk in a black cassock appeared in front of Zhu Di. He saw that the monk had thick and black eyebrows, much longer than ordinary people, and had a bushy short beard.

A pair of eyes are unusually bright, like a falcon, but revealing a bit of cunning.

"Sit down and talk."

The man sitting behind the desk had a heroic and resolute face, a burly figure, a strong body, a healthy wheat color on his face, and he looked like a general. He looked to be in his thirties.

This is the fourth son of the current emperor, Yan Wang Zhu Di!
In the original history, Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu!
Ever since Zhu Di received the news of the prince's death, he has been thinking hard in his study, thinking about the trade-offs.

But after thinking for a long time, Zhu Di still couldn't figure out a clue, so he had to order someone to invite Monk Daoyan over.

Monk Daoyan was also polite, walked to the chair next to him, sat down, and asked: "Looking at the things that are being worshiped in the palace, could it be that something happened in Nanjing?"

Zhu Di frowned, and said: "My elder brother Zhu Biao has passed away...Father ordered the vassal princes from all over the place to mourn and worship on the spot, and not to return to Beijing."

Monk Daoyan took a breath and said, "It's normal. If the vassal kings from all over the country go back to Beijing for the funeral, there will be too much movement and it will cost a lot of money. The emperor should consider this."

"Ugh……",
Zhu Di sighed and said with emotion: "The prince's body has never been considered strong. I didn't expect that he would die young. How can my father accept this?"

Monk Daoyan went on to say: "I have also heard that the prince is weak, and Chang'an and his party are sick, and they have not recovered since they returned to Nanjing.
I didn't expect to die because of this. It was God's will, and it was beyond the control of human beings. I also ask Your Highness to mourn and let it go. Don't worry too much. "

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Elder brother doesn't have holidays, which makes me very confused. Please, Master, recite sutras for this king, and save the soul of my elder brother..."

Monk Daoyan shook his head and said, "You can recite sutras at any time, but what His Highness needs to consider now is not what sutras to recite, but how to plan in the future."

The resident rubbed his frowning brows, and said: "My mind is in a mess now, how can I think so much, since the master said this, please ask the master to relieve this king."

Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao is such a shrewd person, when he heard Zhu Di's summoning, he immediately understood Zhu Di's purpose for looking for him.

So there is no need to say much at all, because the two of them already know what kind of plan there is.

　In testing the waters, it is very important. I have the cheek to ask everyone for votes and various supports... I don’t want to rush to the street, let’s take care of Miaomiao’s new book together.
