I want to be a grandson

Chapter 440

The filial piety expires.

One sentence brought Zhu Yunxi's thoughts back to two years ago.

Before I knew it, it had been 27 years since Hongwu.

In more than two years, I have changed from a grandson who was in constant fear and worrying about his future to the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty.

"Ren Hengtai, how did your Ministry of Rites arrange this sacrifice?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Taichang Temple is mainly responsible for sacrifices, ceremonies and music. Its responsibilities include ritual activities such as exquisite sacrifices, court meetings, and posthumous posthumous gifts. I have discussed with the minister of Taichang Temple. This is the drafted statement. Please have a look at it, Your Highness." .”

Zhu Yunxi took the notebook and began to read it carefully.

This sacrificial activity is different from the usual sacrificial ceremony, because the prince's filial piety expires, so the etiquette specifications are much more grand.

It listed in detail who should participate, how to enter the palace, what items there are on the way, and how to sacrifice after arriving at Xiaoling, all written in detail.

Among them, it is clearly written about how the emperor's grandson should sacrifice, how many times he should salute, and what clothes he should wear.

After seeing it, Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Aiqing has done a good job, so let's handle it accordingly."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Brother is worshiping Buddha wholeheartedly in the temple, please send someone over to invite you."

Ren Hengtai hesitated for a moment, and could only follow his orders.

Since the death of Mrs. Lu, Zhu Yunwen stayed in the temple and said that he wanted to become a monk. The temple did not dare to accept him, for fear of offending Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Buddhist sect would be suppressed.

But they didn't dare to drive him out, after all, he was the emperor's grandson, who would dare to offend him?So just let him stay there.

According to the news, Zhu Yunxi also knew that Zhu Yunqi had been chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha for so long, and he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.

Now that he is sacrificing his father, he should also be allowed to participate, otherwise if other people know about it, they will think that he deliberately suppressed him!

Zhu Yunxie is no longer a threat to himself now, so Zhu Yunxie is also happy to be a "good guy" and show the demeanor of a prince in front of others.

But Ren Hengtai knew that going to the temple to invite him was not a good job!

Since Zhu Yunqi devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha and kept asking to become a monk, no matter whether he was sincere or not, all civil and military officials knew about this matter.

Therefore, he would definitely not participate in mundane matters such as offering sacrifices.

But if you can't invite people, it will appear that the Ministry of Etiquette is incompetent, alas, this blame, I can only carry it...

Zhu Yunxie said: "My father passed away, and my heart is very sad. The emperor's grandfather lost his beloved son, and his heart is also very sad. Besides, he is old and can't stand the trouble. Xiaoling priests don't have to bother his old man. "

"What Your Highness said is true, I understand."

The sacrificial activity was held as scheduled, and Zhu Yunqi did not attend.

Zhu Yunxi took his elder sister and several younger siblings to Xiaoling, where they not only worshiped Zhu Biao, but also the late Empress Ma.

Although everyone was hurting in their hearts, Zhu Biao had been dead for more than two years after all, and the grief had somewhat faded, and it was not like he had to cry every day when he just died.

So even though weeping and telling according to the etiquette, it will not break the body from crying.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yunxi also changed his clothes and no longer wore mourning clothes.

But after all, the filial piety has just ended, and it is not appropriate to make major changes, so the main focus is on simplicity and elegance, which is exactly what Zhu Yunxi meant.

On this day, Zhu Yunxi came to Jinshen Hall and had dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Before the food was served, the two of them sat on the chairs and ate some iced watermelon to get rid of the heat.

"Have you ever paid homage to Xiaoling?"

"Well, my grandson took his older sister and younger siblings with him."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "I heard that Yun Wen didn't go, it's too outrageous, even if he takes a break from studying Buddhism, there is no reason not to sacrifice to his father, he is really fascinated!"

Zhu Yunxie said with relief from the side: "Grandfather, don't be angry. Elder brother is chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in the temple, praying for father, and letting him board the plane early, which is also a kind of filial piety."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, but did not delve into it.

"I'll give you the crowning ceremony in a few days. You've grown up too, so you should help us share more of the government affairs."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly looked bitter, "Grandfather, now you are almost dumping all the government affairs in the East Palace. I am afraid that you will not find many memorials in the Jinshen Palace? Let your grandson share it for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You are young, don't be afraid of being tired! What's so tiring for you to sit there and deal with government affairs?
Like this season, the common people have to weed in the farmland under the sun, and they never have a moment of leisure. Compared with them, you are so relaxed! "

Zhu Yunxi was speechless...

The suffering of life has been engraved in Zhu Yuanzhang's bones, what else can I say?
Could it be said that mental fatigue is also tired?

"Snapped!"

A roster booklet was thrown in front of Zhu Yunxi, "Look."

Zhu Yunxi opened it, and directly listed the names of those people, their places of origin, and their backgrounds.

And these names all have one thing in common, they are all young girls aged fourteen to fifteen to seventeen or eighteen!
Without explaining at all, Zhu Yunxie understood that this was the draft roster!

So he said in astonishment: "Grandfather, you are..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a wicked smile on his lips, "Look at which one you like, and tell Grandpa Huang, it's time for you to get married too!"

"Grandpa Huang, it's still early. According to his age, the grandson hasn't arrived yet, so it's too urgent..."

"What's the hurry! You are the crown prince, so you should have more children and more children, and you have to give birth early and raise more children! When you become the emperor and have many sons, the courtiers will feel at ease and the country will be stable!"

"Grandfather, I, I'm not ready yet..."

"What preparations do you need for this kind of thing? You just say which one you choose to be the grandson concubine, and naturally someone will take care of it for you. This matter is up to us! There is no need to discuss it!"

Zhu Yunxi also knew that there was really no room for negotiation on this matter,

And only when I am married, I am a real man in the eyes of everyone, not a child.

Moreover, getting married by yourself is indeed beneficial to stabilizing the court.

So under Zhu Yuanzhang's "persecution", Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to obediently obey, and opened the roster to watch.

The first name that came into view was Ma Enhui, whose father was Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan, who was also the queen of Emperor Jianwen in history.

According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Empress Ma was virtuous and virtuous, so when he was choosing his grandson concubine, he chose a woman surnamed Ma, just thinking that she would be like Empress Ma and help his grandson.

The second name is Zhang Yanran, Zhu Yunxi is very unfamiliar with this name.

Looking back, it is recorded in custom that she is from Yongcheng, Henan, and the daughter of Commander Zhang Qi.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi seemed to have thought of something here, he tried to ask: "Grandfather, what should we do about the loser? Should he enter the palace and become a court lady, or..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You choose first, let's see who is suitable for the rest, and choose a concubine for Gao Chi of your fourth uncle's family."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly understood!
This person named Zhang Yanran should be Zhu Gaochi's queen in history, Zhu Zhanji's mother, Chengxiao Queen Zhang.

Because the concubine of King Yan was arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang.

To be honest, these two women have the queen's life in history!

Even if you don't believe it, luck is really hard to say sometimes!

There are not many people on the list, only a dozen or so. It must be Zhu Yuanzhang's final list after careful selection.

The women on this list were all approved by Zhu Yuanzhang and felt that they were more suitable in all aspects, so they were taken out.

However, the ranking order is also particular, the higher the ranking, the more it reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's recognition!
Obviously, Ma Enhui is his ideal concubine!

After looking at the list, Zhu Yunxi felt a little embarrassed, and the others were fine, but both of them had the queen's life,
If you don't know, that's fine, but now that you know it, it's unreasonable to hand them over to others!
But how should I choose?
Who should I choose?
So Zhu Yunxi tried to say: "Grandfather, according to the etiquette system, you should be able to choose one concubine and two concubines, right?"

In fact, besides the main concubine, there can also be side concubines, as well as concubines, Liangdi, Liangyuan, Chenghui, Zhaoxun, Fengyi, but Zhu Yunxi did not dare to say...

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and funny, glared at him and said, "Stinky boy! Don't be greedy! It's okay to be so obsessed with beauty at such a young age! Isn't there a girl named Zhao in Chunhe Palace?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi's lower body with his eyes, with contempt in his eyes.

Fuck!Who do you look down on!
