Chapter 70

People always describe the passage of time as a white horse passing through the gap, but in Zhu Ji's case, the white horse seems to have a pair of wings.

This feeling was especially strong when he stood on the [-]-foot-[-]-inch-high circular mound with his own father in worship.

Even he didn't expect that when he closed and opened his eyes, it would be the day of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Yesterday Zhu Yuanzhang pulled him to live in a tent next to the somewhat remote southern suburb of Yuanqiu. In order not to lose the face of the royal family in this great sacrifice, he deliberately dragged Zhu Ji through the entire process of the sacrifice.

This rehearsal, which was like a graduation exam, exhausted Zhu Ji to death, but it was Lu Ben who had been standing under the altar and waited for it to collapse in the end.

Because from the moment Zhu Ji climbed the hill, Lu Ben felt his heartbeat stop and go with Zhu Ji's footsteps.

As long as Zhu Ji made even the slightest mistake, Lu Ben had no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang would have someone drag him to the dungeon without hesitation and wait for Qiuhou to be executed.

Fortunately, after the rehearsal, his free knowledge service received a five-star praise from Emperor Ming.

Like a dead dog, Zhu Ji was forced to take a hot bath and then fell asleep soundly in the tent.

Zhu Ji dreamed that he was riding a dragon and flying in the air.

This is an extremely rare dream, the dragon is golden, and the clouds are colorful.Just as he was about to fly out of Daming's territory to have a look, a rough palm print suddenly fell from the sky, not only patting him on the hard ground, but also waking him up from his dream.

"Strange, being beaten in a dream, why does the back of my head hurt so much?"

"Of course I did it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice instantly made Zhu Ji jump up subconsciously. Seeing his own father squatting in front of him in a luxurious gown, Zhu Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and also responded angrily:

"Old man, if you dare to hit me on the head again, be careful that I will speak ill of you on the altar today."

"you dare!"

Being threatened by Zhu Ji like this, Zhu Yuanzhang became stern in an instant.

Although he claims to be the son of heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't know who God chooses to listen to when the two of them stand on that stage.

Just in case, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

"Qin Tianjian set the auspicious time at the turn of Chen Si. With such a complicated etiquette, how can you be so negligent. If we don't wake you up, why don't you go to sacrifice to the sky with sleepy eyes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became angry when he mentioned this matter.

Everyone in the world doesn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a diligent person, but who knows that he gave birth to such a lazy son.

Usually it's okay to sleep until Chen Shi can't get up, but today when it comes to such a big event as offering sacrifices to heaven, he still looks like this.If he hadn't called for it himself, the boy wouldn't have opened his eyes even if the servants outside the tent shouted their throats.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's accusation, Zhu Ji smiled awkwardly.

This matter is indeed my own fault, after all Zhu Yuanzhang told himself to wake up earlier before going to bed last night.

Taking the opportunity to show off his prestige as a father, Zhu Yuanzhang left the tent in a hurry.

Although there was no need to go to the early court on the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, many of the court affairs were sent to the Yuanqiu by the Secretary of the General Administration.Before the sacrificial ceremony began, Zhu Yuanzhang also prepared to batch several more copies of the inscriptions.

Compared with the speed of the sun rising and setting, it is obviously much faster to break free from the shackles of the night and bring light to the earth.

There was still a quarter before Sishi, and all the officials above the seventh grade in the capital arrived at the scene. As usual in the early court, under the guidance of the minister of ceremonies and Taichang Temple, they stood in a row between the music students and the dance students to wait for the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son. Appear.

"Have you heard, today's sacrifice, the eldest prince will follow His Majesty as an accompanying priest."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong? Could it be that if you let the eldest prince become the prince and then come to accompany the sacrifice, it is in accordance with the ritual system?"

Ever since Zhu Ji uttered those words in front of hundreds of guards, many officials in the court became a little more tolerant towards the eldest prince's words and deeds.

At that time, there were still a few stunned supervisory censors who wanted to impeach Zhu Ji for violating the system and rewarding the emperor's army, but as soon as the inscription was delivered to the censor doctor Wang Guangyang, these people were scolded bloody head.

Among them, Wang Guangyang's sentence "It is the greatest disrespect for the eldest prince to give up the position of crown prince. Are you going to force the palace to die?" Zhu Yuanzhang even applauded.

Therefore, although Prince Wu's mansion fell into silence again, this sentence was used by many people to refute matters related to Zhu Ji.

While arguing in a low voice, Tai Changqing Tang Duo suddenly sang in his ear:
"The auspicious time has come, Wushenglesheng is in place, and the deacons are in place, welcome the holy driver."

The whispering crowd fell silent for a moment, knelt on the ground together with the others, and watched Zhu Yuanzhang lead Zhu Ji, led by the driver, slowly step by step up the round mound, which was one foot six feet two inches high. superior.

At the same time, Baiguan's mood suddenly became complicated.

They saw that Zhu Ji was wearing a black five chapters uniform.

If it weren't for such a serious occasion of offering sacrifices to heaven, I'm afraid many people would stand up and argue with Zhu Yuanzhang.

The fifth chapter is black, which is the color of clothes that princes can only wear.It should be known that as early as two months ago, the Ministry of Rituals reported that the emperor ordered the Shangyi Bureau to be responsible for the production of his public clothes in order to facilitate the eldest prince's recognition of his ancestors as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, under the emperor's behest, the uniform of a prince was made into the regulations of the prince.

Now even Wang Guangyang's famous saying is useless.

The sentence that Zhu Ji asked Zhu Biao to copy, "Only implements and names, not fake people" became the reason for their courage.

But soon, the outrageous situation was completely resolved by an accident.

After Zhu Yuanzhang lay down the Cangyu Silk Book on the altar, and Tang Duo guided Zhu Ji to offer sacrifices to the Haotian God, the clouds in the sky appeared seven colors under the reflection of the sun.

"Clouds become colorful, the country's auspiciousness, thanks!"

The old fritter Tang Duo would not let go of such a glorious moment.

You must know that colorful clouds in the sky are not uncommon, and they even appeared several times in Daming territory this year.But there has never been an auspicious cloud in history like him when presiding over the sacrifice to heaven.

Tang Duo was not ambiguous about this opportunity to be listed in the annals of history.

And Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little lucky at this time, but fortunately, he just hit his eldest son's head in the morning.If he really spanked his butt with the sole of his shoe like his other sons, maybe there would be a dark cloud hanging in the sky at this time.

It's nothing more than dark clouds covering the sun. If a few thunderstorms strike, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that his imperial power is coming to an end.

Liu Bowen said that his eldest son was born holy, and today it seems that it is true.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to believe in it from now on.

And the courtiers who knelt under the Circular Mound, blinked their eyes and watched back and forth between the colorful clouds in the sky and Zhu Ji on the ground.
