Zhu Biao's eyes darkened when he heard this. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he mentioned his eldest daughter-in-law, which made Zhu Biao sad again.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Boss, you are actually quite handsome."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words are not nonsense.
Being fat ruins everything. Even with such a fat figure, Zhu Biao can still vaguely see his handsomeness, which proves that he still has a good foundation.
Zhu Biao smiled politely. He was in a low mood just now, but it was because Chang was right, but it was not what his father thought. Obviously, this problem was much more complicated.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked,
"Grandson, are you hungry? If you are, I'll ask someone to get you something to eat. We don't have to do anything but follow the rules."
It stands to reason that the most basic thing for a new emperor to ascend the throne is to bathe, not eat, and put the entire body in the purest form to respond to the destiny.
However, Lao Zhu is using doctrine. If it is beneficial to him, he will support it. If it is not beneficial to him, he will oppose it.
In his opinion, he can endure a few hungry meals.
When he ascended the throne, Lao Zhu couldn't stand the chatter in his ears by those officials from the Ministry of Rites even more than he was greedy.
But the eldest grandson is different now.
The world is big and the biggest problem is that the eldest grandson is hungry!
"Grandpa, my grandson is not hungry."
Zhu Xiongying responded with a smile. Now that he has enough energy and blood, he is still in the strongest form of human beings. Logically speaking, there is no problem if he doesn't eat at all.
But on weekdays, grandparents are too enthusiastic and always try to get their eldest grandson to eat. In addition, Zhu Xiongying himself is also greedy, so he never eats food.
Seeing his eldest grandson's strong voice, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said,
"Okay, eldest grandson, just bear with it! When you're done, grandpa will prepare something delicious for you."
Zhu Biao whispered from the side,
"Dad, why don't you give me something to eat first? A few hours have passed since the enthronement ceremony. The child is so hungry that he has no strength. I'm really afraid that he won't be able to bear it anymore."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened and he immediately changed his face and said,
"What nonsense are you talking about?!
You are quite a big man, what can you do if you are hungry for two meals? Why don't you go into the ancestral temple later?
Hungry! "
Zhu Biao shrank his neck and became silent after being scolded.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Zhu Tong, the Minister of Rites, spoke in front of the East Palace Gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Is everything done? Everything is safe?"
Zhu Tong responded in front of the palace gate,
"Your Majesty, it will be absolutely perfect."
"good!"
The entire enthronement ceremony revolves around the Ministry of Rites as the core. The Ministry of Rites is divided into four divisions: the Division of Supervision, the Division of Qin Tian Jian, the Division of Shang Bao, and the Division of Jiaofang.
To put it bluntly, the lighting and stage design were all arranged by the etiquette department.
The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were busy hitting the back of the head with their feet, but on the contrary, Zhu Xiongying basically did not participate in it. After all, the male protagonist only had to appear on stage, and it was impossible to do any logistics work.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Shichen and said,
"It's almost time."
Zhu Tong, the Minister of Rites, immediately responded,
"Wei Chen will go and summon the officials now."
"Go ahead."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying and said,
"They have to go to the Circular Mound Altar to wait to offer sacrifices to heaven. After we offer sacrifices to our ancestors, we will go find them."
"Yes, Father (Grandpa)."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying were solemn after hearing this. Ancestor worship was a major event in ancient times. The three of them went out to the East Palace of the Imperial Palace.
"See your majesty, see your highness."
Along the way, the maids saluted one after another. After taking a peek at His Highness Shengsun, these maids in their prime couldn't help but breathe quickly and their hearts beat wildly.
They have never seen such a handsome man before, but today they have seen it. What is so handsome that it makes people suffocate?
Zhu Xiongying is not only good-looking, but also full of temperament. As long as Zhu Xiongying waves, these maids will let him do whatever they want.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw all this and said quickly,
"My eldest grandson, you are young and quit promiscuity. These are just red and pink skeletons. When you want to get married and lose your virginity, grandpa has arranged it for you..."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes inwardly while listening, and thought to himself,
What my father said makes my back hurt when I stand and talk.
It was like my father tasted every dish on this table. After he finished eating, he threw down his chopsticks and said,
Don't be greedy for these things, it's meaningless.
At this age, you have never stopped sowing and plowing the land.
You can do this for an hour. Whoever you mess with will be unable to get off the ground for several days.
Zhu Xiongying indeed had no concerns about these things. After all, he was a young boy in his last life, and he is still a young boy in this life. He has never tasted it, and he doesn’t know how good it is. He said firmly,
"Grandpa, my grandchildren will listen to you."
"Haha, that's right! If anyone harms you, grandpa can't harm you!"
After the three people worshiped their ancestors, they boarded a car waiting in front of the ancestral temple. On the way, Lao Zhu also picked up Queen Ma, and the car drove the three of them to the Circle Qiu Altar.
This is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang worshiped heaven and ascended the throne when the Ming Dynasty was established.
"Woo!!!!"
After the dragon was put down, solemn ritual music immediately sounded from the Circular Mound Altar. The sound was majestic and long, like the Chinese luck, which is endless.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiongying stepped out of the car in order,
All the ministers said in unison,
"Long live your majesty!"
"Long live your highness, long live long live!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!!"
"Long live your highness, long live long live!!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!!!"
"Long live your highness, long live long live!!!"
The civil and military officials' voices were thick and their shouts were cadenced, as if they were a choir, instantly raising the atmosphere.
The ministers separated, leaving a passage that only allowed one person to pass. At the end of the road was a huge stone tablet tens of meters high, with flying dragons and phoenixes on it writing the memorial inscription for Lord Hong Wu when he ascended the throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao stood on both sides of Zhu Xiongying with smiles on their faces, while Queen Ma stood behind her, looking at her eldest grandson with pride.
Zhu Yuanzhang said softly,
"Eldest grandson, go ahead. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."
Zhu Xiongying slowly opened his eyes, his whole body seemed to be hit by electric current, and he glanced at the civil and military officials and royal family members on both sides.
Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Ji, Zhu Quan...
Lan Yu, Xu Da, Chang Mao, Fu Ren, Jiang Wei...
Ru Taisu, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi, Zhu Tong...
Pairs of excited eyes and expectant faces,
All the love, expectations and luck in the world are all gathered in Zhu Xiongying.
Moreover, these were destined from the moment Zhu Xiongying was born.
The Han Dynasty became great because of Zhu Xiongying.
Under the huge monument, tables and altars were set up,
Nine oxen, sheep, and hogs each are the gift of the Emperor Jiulao.
Zhu Xiongying walked step by step, and the sound of ritual music continued and changed with Zhu Xiongying's footsteps.
Walked through the Fengtian Hall, walked through the south of the Yangtze River, walked through the northwest, walked through the Great Tomorrow...
Zhu Xiongying stood still and looked up at the monument.
He finally made it here.
