I want to be a grandson

Chapter 442: The Grandson of Supervising the Country!

Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, "What His Highness said... yes, this servant obeys!"

Your Highness doesn't like women with bound feet?

Or do you want to welcome His Majesty's feelings for Empress Ma, and also want to choose a woman with natural feet?

Before I had time to think about it, I heard Zhu Yunxi say: "Eunuch Qing, you can take this roster back. For ordinary people, parents and elders are the masters. How can marriage be done according to your own wishes? The candidate for the grandson and concubine should also have the emperor. Grandpa is in charge."

Li Fu cleverly picked up the roster and handed it to Qingtong.

This time, it was tantamount to kicking the ball to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since the selection is based on the roster, I can't think of a satisfactory one, so I might as well hand it over to Zhu Yuanzhang, which can also reflect my obedience and filial piety.

At the same time, since I am so sensible and filial, as an elder, if I insist on going my own way without caring about the feelings of the younger generation, it would be a bit unhuman...

So when Zhu Yuanzhang was in Jinshen Hall and saw Qingtong bring back the roster, he knew that something was going to be tricky!
Let yourself be the master, how can you do what you want with peace of mind?

So he gave Qingtong a hard look, "He asked you to take it back, so you take it back? As elders, how can we disregard our grandson's feelings?

He asked you to take it back and handed over this problem to us. Why don't you understand, aren't you embarrassing us! "

Qingtong showed a look of aggrieved, silent and did not dare to speak.

The grandson of the emperor wants to take it back, how dare I not take it!
It's so annoying to be your grandson!
"He asked you to take it back? Did you say anything?"

Qingtong obediently explained Zhu Yunxi's intention to let Zhu Yuanzhang be the master, and also said about the footbinding.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Empress Ma didn't bind her feet, and after many years of fighting, the people's lives were hard. At this time, the footbinding trend is actually somewhat "declining".

At this time, most women in Ming Dynasty did not have their feet bound.

For Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he counterattacked from a grassroots to become an emperor, and he was very simple about some preferences, and he didn't like women with bound feet.

According to legend, foot binding began with Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and some say it began in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, before the Ming Dynasty, foot binding was just a "game in the circle" of some nobles.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao, the prime minister of power, had a poem "On the Legs", "The thighs are round and long, and the feet are thick and iron. The class is white and yellow, and this name is gold." The aesthetic distortion of "small feet and thick iron threads" has appeared.

There have already been a large number of realistic descriptions of "little feet" in Zaju in the Yuan Dynasty. Wang Shifu's Zaju Cui Yingying's Story of the West Chamber,
That is to say in the famous Romance of the West Chamber, "Don't talk about that appearance, but those pair of little feet are worth a hundred hanging gold."

Therefore, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Zen people were more popular among dancing girls, singing girls, and upper-class ladies, forming a symbol of class and status.

But in the Ming Dynasty, women from all walks of life, no matter rich or poor, high or low, all scrambled to follow suit.

In addition, there are traditional etiquette that restrains women, men's aesthetic trends, and the threshold of marriage, etc., which make foot binding a common practice!

After all, what man wouldn't want to marry a noble girl?Which woman doesn't want to marry into a wealthy family?Therefore, driven by such psychology, the flood of bound feet is not a problem.

So in the Ming Dynasty, the "Three Inch Golden Lotus" suddenly became a trend that spread all over the country, and when it matured, it became a "national movement"!
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since he doesn't like women with bound feet, let's do as he says."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Zhu Yunxi didn't think too much about this matter, he just saw a woman with small feet when he was out of the palace, and when he thought of the deformed soles he saw in later generations, he couldn't help feeling ugly.

If the person next to my pillow has such a pair of feet, then...it's too scary!

So Zhu Yunxi was only thinking about his own happy life, but he never thought that such a small request would cause twists and turns in Daming...

……

The crown ceremony means that a man has grown up and can marry, and from then on, as an adult of the clan, he can participate in family activities and take responsibility on behalf of the family.

According to Zhou etiquette, a man must be 20 years old before he can mouth the crown ceremony.

However, in order to take charge of the state affairs as soon as possible, the princes of the Son of Heaven often salute early. It is said that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of 12, and King Cheng was crowned at the age of 15.

Later generations have changes due to time and place. The folk festival is held from 15 to 20 years old, and it varies from place to place.

According to the records of Rites and Shiguanli: "The princes are crowned twelve. If the emperor is the same as the princes, the twelve are crowned..."

Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Yu Lei" Volume [-]: "[Crown ceremony] is a private matter in one's own house, what is so difficult? Close the door, and wear the scarf and crown with the children, what is so difficult?"

Therefore, the common people did not have a very strict restriction on the crowning ceremony. Although Zhu Yunxi was not 20 years old, he was able to perform the crowning ceremony.

The crowning ceremony was held in the ancestral temple, Zhu Yunxi had to divination the auspicious day first,

Then, on the day of the crowning ceremony, they will wear a formal attire. First they will be crowned with black cloth, then they will be given a leather bean, and finally they will be given a noble bean.

Every time the crown is crowned, the guest of honor reads the congratulatory speech to Zhu Yunxi.

It would be much simpler if ordinary people performed the crowning ceremony, but Zhu Yunxi is the crown prince, so this coming-of-age ceremony is extraordinarily grand.

The steps are cumbersome, and there are many etiquettes.

After the coronation ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the emperor's grandson wearing a formal dress and a top hat, and his eye circles could not help but turn red.

Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "Growing up, you really have grown up! Grandpa Huang will feel relieved when you grow up..."

Zhu Yunxie said: "Grandpa, don't worry, grandson will definitely uphold the ambition of grandpa, and dare not slack off!"

"Good good good good! Ambitious!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether he was praising himself or his grandson.

Holding Zhu Yunxi's hand, he said, "Let's go, let's meet the civil and military officials!"

Today is an important day for the crowning ceremony of the emperor's grandson, and all the officials have long been waiting respectfully in Fengtian Hall.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone is flat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very happy, sitting on the dragon chair and said: "Today is the day when the emperor's grandson celebrates the coronation ceremony. We are very happy! Qingtong, read the imperial decree!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Grandson of the Eastern Palace, sincerely filial to the prince, virtuous and benevolent, inherit the destiny of heaven, and respond to the hearts of the people..."

After talking about a lot of empty words and praises, he read the main point: "The grandson of the emperor is now an adult, and he should be entrusted by the court to share the worries of the emperor's father, act on behalf of the government, and be appointed to supervise the country. He is specially appointed as the grandson of the supervisor of the country! "

Grandson of the Supervisor!

From now on, there will be a grandson supervising the country?

All civil and military officials felt a little surprised.

Jian Guo usually refers to when the emperor goes out, an important person, usually the crown prince, stays at the court to handle state affairs on his behalf, so it is called Jian Guo Prince.

If the monarch fails to govern himself and someone else acts as a proxy for the government, he becomes a regent.

Therefore, "Guoyu Jinyu I": "When the king walks, the prince lives, and supervises the country; when the king walks, the prince follows, and the army is also supported."

But now that the emperor has not left the palace, why did he appoint the grandson of the emperor as the grandson of Jian Guo?
But think about it, everyone can understand Zhu Yuanzhang's good intentions!
Supervising the country usually refers to a period of time. When the emperor returns, the duty of supervising the country is automatically relieved and he returns to the emperor with all his strength.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang is clearly in the capital, but he has set up the grandson of the supervisor, which shows that he can also exercise military power when Zhu Yuanzhang is there!
This is much more important than the general prison country!

"The ministers and others congratulate His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun, and have been ordered to supervise the country!"

"You are safe, and I will ask you to help me in the future to protect Daming."

To be honest, Zhu Yunxi did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to make such a move!This was indeed beyond his expectation.

But after being astonished, he accepted it frankly.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a chair next to his dragon chair, and said, "Yunxi, come and sit here."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, Grandfather!"

Zhu Yunxi walked up step by step, and sat down on the chair, feeling a little excited because he was so close to the dragon chair.

Looking at the calm emperor and grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel happy.

From now on, there will be people in the country, and the succession of the throne will be orderly.

Moreover, the emperor's grandson and successor I chose is quite outstanding in both martial arts and martial arts, and he can appoint people on their merits.

All aspects are handled properly, with kindness, brains, and weighing the pros and cons, with a tough personality.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be able to see his own style in him, which made him very satisfied.

In the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang held a large banquet in the Wuying Hall, giving banquets to all the officials, and celebrating with all the officials.

At the banquet, everyone promoted cups and exchanged cups, congratulating one after another.

Of course they couldn't drink the emperor's grandson. Besides, after having a few glasses of wine together, Zhu Yunxi went back to have dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang, and they couldn't catch anyone.

So I had to seize those who were close to the grandson, so the general Lan Yu, the grandson's uncles Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, as well as Xu Huizu, Qi Tai, Tie Xuan and others suffered disaster...

When Xu Huizu returned home in the carriage, he still felt a little dizzy and his head was a little tight.

The banquet is not just as simple as drinking, civil and military officials also use drinking to get close to the emperor's grandson, so they, as confidantes, must bear the responsibility of entertaining the emperor's grandson.

That is to say, Xu Huizu is usually rigorous and casual, otherwise it would be really not easy to get away!

He didn't go back to his room to rest directly, but came to sit in the study, thinking about sobering up.

Xu Miaojin pushed the door open at this time, brought a bowl of hangover soup and said, "Brother, this is hangover soup, drink it quickly."

"My sister has a heart, why don't you go to bed so late..." Xu Huizu said inwardly, while drinking the hangover soup.

Xu Miaojin didn't answer, but asked: "Brother doesn't usually drink much, why did he drink so much today? Isn't there something happy?"

Xu Huizu showed a comfortable smile, and said: "Today, I was drunk..."

"Is there anyone else drinking brother?"

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Today His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun held the coronation ceremony and was ordered to supervise the country. His Majesty held a banquet and drank too much wine..."
