Of course Zhu Xuan knew the rules and agreed: "My grandson will obey Grandpa Huang's arrangements."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is one more thing."
"Grandpa Huang, please tell me."
"We want you to take Mr. Yuan back to Fengyang. You are getting married. How can you not tell our ancestors?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "You are the emperor's grandson, and getting married is a big deal. You have to go back to worship your ancestors. Can you understand, my dear grandson?"
Of course Zhu Xuan could understand that it was natural for him to go back to pay homage to his ancestors, and agreed: "The emperor chose a day, and my grandson took Yuan Jun and set off back to Fengyang. However, before returning to Fengyang, my grandson wanted to go to Xiaoling to pay homage." Grandma and Dad.”
Although he had never met Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, as their juniors, it was appropriate to pay homage to them.
Etiquette cannot be abolished, nor can filial piety be eliminated.
"This is good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Sister and Biao'er know that they will be very happy. Just go! When you come back from Xiaoling, we will arrange for you to return to Fengyang. Forget it, let's make it tomorrow. We will accompany you to Xiaoling. , and I haven’t seen my girl for a long time.”
This is how the matter of ancestor worship was determined.
After Zhu Xuan finished greeting him, Concubine Guo Hui quickly sent Mu Yuanjun back.
Back in the East Palace, Zhu Xuan asked curiously: "What did Grandma Guo tell you?"
Mu Yuanjun lowered his head shyly, and after a while he said, "I told my concubine how to conceive the child."
Zhu Xuan laughed.
However, when calculating age, Mu Yuanjun is only one year older than herself.
Zhu Xuan is sixteen years old, and Mu Yuanjun is only seventeen.
Pregnancy at this age is not good for your health, but marrying into the imperial family and being a grandson, if you don't get pregnant early, there will be problems, and Zhu Xuan can't change it.
"Then let's work hard from now on."
Zhu Xuan whispered in her ear.
Mu Yuanjun's face instantly turned red. He pushed Zhu Xuan gently and said shyly, "Your Highness... you are so evil!"
But she really likes being so bad.
——
The next day.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished preparing the things he wanted to go to Xiaoling to worship.
After the morning court, he left the ministers and the memorial on the table, took Zhu Xuan and Mu Yuanjun out of the palace together, and went to Zhongshan Mountain.
"Sister, Biao'er, we're here to see you again."
Zhu Yuanzhang personally wiped the altar outside Xiaoling.
Zhu Xuan knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The same is true for Mu Yuanjun.
"Grandma, dad, my son and Yuan Jun are here to see you."
Zhu Xuan also said softly.
Although he has never met them, his relationship and bloodline with them cannot be severed, and he must be respectful.
They worshiped solemnly according to the ceremony.
After it was over, I didn't go back immediately.
"Sister, our granddaughter-in-law, isn't she pretty? That guy Muying's granddaughter is so pretty."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "We brought up Mu Ying. His granddaughter has become our granddaughter-in-law, and we have even kissed her."
Mu Yuanjun blushed a little when he heard this, and said softly: "It's a pity that grandson-in-law didn't get to see grandma."
"well……"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Maybe we have done too many sins, and God punished us by taking away the people close to us one by one."
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to say: "Grandpa Huang, birth, old age, illness and death are the laws of nature. Grandpa Huang has not done any evil, so stop talking nonsense."
"We won't talk nonsense."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, then looked at Zhu Xuan and Mu Yuanjun. These are the only people around him who are safe and unharmed and have not been taken away. They must be well protected. He then said: "Okay, you go back first. Let's go to Cockcrow." Take a walk around the temple.”
He was going to pray for Zhu Xuan.
When I was young, I killed many people, including the Kongyin case and the Hu Weiyong case. I killed countless officials. Regardless of whether they were guilty or not, they were killed first.
I didn't care before, but as I get older I feel like I'm really doing something wrong.
The revenge of these sins cannot fall on the children and grandchildren. He can bear it himself and take responsibility for each person's actions. Therefore, he went to the Buddhist temple to repent of his crimes and hoped that the Buddha would bless his good grandchildren.
After visiting the Buddhist temple, he wanted to go to the Taoist temple again.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that gods and Buddhas were unreliable, what if it happened?
However, if there is a corrupt official now, he will still kill him and will not show mercy.
"You take good care of Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Xuan understood what Lao Zhu wanted to do when he went to the Buddhist temple.
Also for myself.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take good care of Your Majesty."
Yun Qi said immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang warned: "After you go back, ask the people in the cabinet to send all the memorials to your Zhan Shifu. We are going to be lazy today. If there is anything we can't determine, we can discuss it with Hu Guang for the time being. If we really can't handle it, wait. Let’s make a decision when we come back.”
"My grandson understands."
Zhu Xuan nodded.
Then, they watched Lao Zhu leave Xiaoling.
"Yuanjun, let's go back too!"
Zhu Xuan said and added: "Originally, I wanted to take you to find Sister Miaojin and the others, but I am worried that if those officials know about it, they will nag me until I am in a bad mood tomorrow morning."
Mu Yuanjun chuckled softly and said: "It turns out that being the grandson of the emperor still has so many troubles, but it is normal. Your Highness must listen carefully to the words of the ministers below. From now on, you must be a wise king like Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "That's for sure. Before I become Mingjun, I have to go back and read the memorial."
Mu Yuanjun feels that Zhu Xuan is much more mature now and feels completely different from before.
This kind of Zhu Xuan is also more charming.
——
Jiming Temple.
When Zhu Yuanzhang came here, he traveled incognito.
However, the people of Jinyiwei had already made arrangements inside Jiming Temple, and Yulinwei had also made preparations outside the temple. The security work was very good.
"Don't disturb the pilgrims here."
If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the Jinyiwei people could have been more strict and guarded the entire Jiming Temple.
Yuankong, the abbot of Jiming Temple, still remembers Zhu Yuanzhang.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang came once and met Yuankong.
Sighing that all living beings refuse to look back, this second couplet is still hanging in their temple.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Enkong said as he was about to kneel down.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and said: "Be low-key. You can take us around and pay homage to the Buddha."
"yes!"
Yuan Kong was overjoyed.
They Jiming Temple, this is to enter His Majesty's sight.
As long as he, the abbot, seizes this opportunity, it is not impossible that Jiming Temple will become the royal Buddhist temple of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and Buddhism will become the state religion, and he will become a Buddhist saint.
Yuankong had this fantasy and led Zhu Yuanzhang into the hall.
"You Buddhists, don't you like to talk about cause and effect and reincarnation?"
Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Buddha, worshiped for a while, prayed for a while, and then asked Yuankong this question.
As an abbot, when discussing these issues, Yuankong is of course proficient in it and knows it better than anyone else. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, if there is a cause, there will be a result. Whatever the cause is sown, the result will be harvested. That's it." It’s the reincarnation of cause and effect.”
