I want to be a grandson

Chapter 330 Canonization Ceremony
In the 26th year of Hongwu, on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, it was sunny, everything was suitable, and it was the year of the rooster.

In the traditional concept of Chinese people, as long as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not passed, it is still in the festival of Chinese New Year.

After all, in ancient times, it was inconvenient to visit relatives and friends. If you want to see all your relatives, it will take a few days.

In people's simple concept, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the time when all kinds of work will start in the new year.

At this time, inside the palace, there are red and colorful decorations everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to take out the silk stored in the inner storage for decoration.

He also asked the emissary to move out many precious items from the treasury, and also cleaned up the palaces, flushing them with clean water over and over again, trying to be spotless.

And on this day, everything is ready.

Because this day is the canonization ceremony of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!
Yesterday, under the service of the court lady, she took a bath carefully. This morning, Zhu Yunxi still needs to take a bath, and there should be no trace of filth on her body.

"Report to His Royal Highness, please wear a formal dress."

"Can!"

After getting Zhu Yunxi's permission, under the watchful eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the female officer of the Harem Shangyi Supervisor will personally put on a variety of dresses and crowns for His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

Every piece of clothing worn will be reported by the female officer of the Shangyi Supervisor.

When Wang Zhong, Li Fu and others saw His Highness wearing a formal attire, they were really full of joy!

Just as the sun rises in the morning, Fengtian Temple will be lit with sandalwood.

Burnt sandalwood burnt, smoky, the whole square of Fengxian Temple is like Jiutiantai Pavilion.

With the solemn and slow first drum beating, the Jinwu Guards began to line up on the east and west sides of the Meridian Gate.

The flag guards are lined up on the east and west sides of Fengtian Gate. The honor guards displayed by the arch guards stretch from the east and west sides of Danbi to the east and west sides of Danchi. Lubo chariots are displayed in Wenlou and south of Wulou. The horse team led to the south of the chariot.

Tigers, leopards, and treasure elephants were placed outside Fengtian Gate. He Shenglang, who was in charge of Shaoyue, began to enter Fengtian Gate, and Chen Le was located in the south of Danchi.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi was dressed neatly that the official of the Ministry of Rites reported, "I would like to report to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. The guards will bring drums and music, and guards of honor outside the East Palace. Your Highness, please move to Fengtian Hall."

"Can!"

At this time, just follow the words and say it.

Zhu Yunxue was dressed in a fine attire, wearing a crown suit, and headed for Fengtian Hall in a car brought by Gonggong Weisi.

At this time in the Jinshen Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was also wearing the most solemn and noble dress, which was the red-bottomed dragon robe.

The face is full of joyful smiles, extremely happy.

Qing Tong reported, "My lord, the time has come, please move my lord to Fengtian Palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked, "Is the grandson of the emperor driving?"

"It was just now that the guards reported that they had already gone to the East Palace, so they must have already set off by now."

"Let's go! We have to arrive earlier than Taisun!"

"Respectfully invite His Majesty the Emperor to drive!"

Surrounded by his attendants, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and left his seat, and took Yudi from Jinshen Hall to Fengtian Hall.

Shang Baoqing was holding the emperor's seal, and the waiter guided the holy driver, and walked all the way to the main hall.

When they came to Fengtian Temple, the court band played the elegant music movement.

Zhu Yuanzhang ascended to the throne amidst the beautiful movement.

All the officials kowtowed and saluted and received: "The minister waits to see Your Majesty! Your Majesty is blessed!"

"I bow to you, Zhuqing is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at all the civil and military officials, and said with a smile: "All here? Then wait for the emperor's grandson to enter the palace."

Of course they are all here, who can be absent from such a hall?
And no one will be late, because before the canonization ceremony officially started, all civil and military officials gathered at the Meridian Gate early.

Civil servants stand to the north of Wenlou, facing west; military officials stand to the north of Wulou, facing east.

Well, envoys, monks, Taoists, and elders (highly respected gentlemen and celebrities) from foreign vassals stood on the south side of the civil officials, and stood on the west side.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the shifts in the main hall, as well as the display of inner eunuchs and guards, and nodded to show his satisfaction.

To the west of Danbi in Fengtian Hall, there is a department in front of the hall, and three officials of the command department stand facing east.

In the east of Danbi, there are three Xuanhui Yuan (the etiquette officer in charge of the operation of suburban sacrifices, court meetings and banquets), standing facing west.

"Boom boom boom!"

The drums that shocked the world sounded...

The eunuch outside the gate of Fengtian Hall sang loudly: "Yinban!"

After receiving the order, the envoy officials will guide all officials, envoys from the vassal state, monks, Taoists, and elders to enter Fengtianmen and go to the place of worship at Danchi to stand there.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

Hearing this shout, Li Fu whispered in Zhu Yun's ear: "Your Highness, it's time to enter Fengtian Gate."

"Um……"

Then, four solemnly dressed guides led Zhu Yunxi into Fengtianmen.

"Happy!"

At this time, the sound of rites and music was loud, and under the guidance of the eunuch, Zhu Yunxi went up from the east steps of the Danbi of Fengtian Hall and entered the east gate of Fengtian Hall.

First kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, I kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor's grandfather, Your Majesty bows!"

"Pingshen, I bow to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the grandson of the emperor in front of him, and he really liked it more and more!

Under the guidance of the Neizan official, Zhu Yunxi went to pay respects to Bi Dan in front of the main hall, and the Neizan officials stood on the left and right of the Taisun worshiping the throne.

At this time, the ceremonies and music ceased, and the hall was silent.

The inner envoy holding the treasure went up from the west steps of Danbi to the front of the hall, and stood at the place of worship of Danbi.

Zhiban officials sing "Banqi" in Danchi, and internal praise officials sing: "Bow, worship".

At this time, great joy began, and all the officials bowed down. Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the emperor, knelt down and saluted on the altar wall of Fengtian Hall, then flattened his body, and then stopped happily.

The official Neizan sang: "The Chengzhi official is a little ahead."

The successor stepped forward and stood in the west of the hall,
Internal praise: "Kneel".

The Chengzhi official knelt down and praised: "Chengzhi".

The Chengzhi official went out from the middle door of Fengtian Hall, stood outside the door, and said: "There is a system!"

Praise sing: "Kneel",
At this time, the emperor's grandson will kneel again.

The Xuanzhi official said: "The son of the crown prince of the East Palace, Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the emperor, is the grandson of the emperor!"

After the system was announced, the praise officer sang: "Fall down and prosper (get up from the ground) and flatten your body."

The Chengzhi official entered the main hall from the west gate of Fengtian Hall.Kneeling in the hall, Xiyun said: "The transmission is complete."

Next, there is a book ceremony, receiving the treasure book, and reading the treasure book.

Nei Zan officer then led the kings to the worship seats in the hall and stopped happily.

The internal and external salutes are sung together: "Kneel".

At this time, regardless of age or seniority, everyone has to kneel down!

As the representative of the princes, Qin Wang Zhu Xi congratulated him and said: "My minister, Qin Wang Zhu Xi, met the emperor's grandson who was honored as a treasure. I am overwhelmed by Xin Yu. I would like to lead all my younger brothers to congratulate His Royal Highness."

Looking at the uncles who were kneeling in front of him, Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face: "Please rise, all the uncles."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager!"

The internal and external praise officials sang together: "Low down and prosper, and flatten your body."

At this time, the princes can stand up.

Then, under the guidance of honor guards and drum music, all civil and military officials greeted and sent them to the East Palace.

The book treasure will be placed in the main hall, and the emperor's grandson will be demoted.

Ren Hengtai, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, knelt down to play the treasure, and came to the case to open the book of imperial edicts, and Shang Baoqing used the treasures in the imperial edict.

The canonized imperial edict should also be read outside the Meridian Gate in order to announce it to the world.

And then there will be a decree to be promulgated to the world, so that all the subjects of the world will know that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has been registered.

Even if it is so cumbersome, the etiquette of canonization may not be over yet.

After that, all the officials will also present their congratulations to show their loyalty.

Then according to the etiquette, the grandson of the emperor would come to the harem to meet the queen, but because Queen Ma was no longer there, there was no owner in the harem, so this etiquette was omitted.

However, it is still essential to send a court lady to the harem to greet her.

After this set of procedures is completed, the gift will be considered complete.

But the grandson of the emperor still had to choose a day to go to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors. At that time, it was a grand and luxurious scene.

At this time, the people in the capital also knew that today was the canonization ceremony of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

Especially the common people gathered outside Chengtianmen were even more joyful!
"Oh, this is the canonization ceremony of the grandson of the emperor!"

"The grandson has the style of being a father, and the prince has a good son!"

"Able to write and perform martial arts! To be so kind to us people is simply a gift from God! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"His Majesty the Emperor's Grandson is filial and sincere, my old man was rewarded with a stone of grain by the Emperor's Grandson last year..."

"Look now, is there anyone who dares to enclose the land? The emperor's grandson even dares to kill Lord Hou. Anyone who wants to harm the people is courting death!"

"Your Highness is mighty! The Ming Dynasty is prosperous!"

"That's right! You are so right... It is a blessing for us common people to have such a grandson of the emperor!"

"Da Ming is mighty! Taisun is mighty!"

Standing on a tall building, looking at the majestic palace from a distance, and the faint rites and music coming from inside, as well as the sound of bells and drums,

Xu Miaojin was also full of joy.

Xiaoqing, the maid beside her, said happily: "Miss, is this a canonization gift from His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson? The sound of ritual and music can be heard so far!"

"Yes, this is his canonization gift. From now on, he should be able to feel at ease..."

Xiaoqing chirped and said: "Miss, His Highness has been canonized as a great-grandson, so he will surely give a reward, right? During the Chinese New Year, the cakes His Highness gave to the mansion last time are delicious!"

Xu Miaojin smiled and said: "The meals made in the palace are naturally different, why do you still want to eat?"

"Miss, will His Highness reward you with cakes this time?"

He pouted again and said, "It's not my place to reward other things, but I can secretly taste a little bit of this pastry..."

Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "I said why the cakes are missing a few pieces. I thought it was eaten by some greedy cat. It turned out to be you, a lazy cat."

"Miss, you made fun of me again..."

Unknowingly, a bit of resentful sadness climbed up between Xu Miaojin's brows...

Xiaoqing probably noticed something, and said in a low voice, "Oh, I don't know when I'll see His Highness......Miss, what do you think?"

Xu Miaojin didn't turn her head back, and said with a blank look: "Your Highness is distinguished, so I can see you as soon as I want...Even if we meet, I have to retreat...Go down, let me be quiet..."

Xiaoqing couldn't understand her mood and quietly left the window.

Leaving behind a lonely figure, standing in front of the window, looking into the distance...
