Among the Xiaoling Mausoleums, the most important place at present is the Ancestral Temple Mausoleum of Queen Ma.
After Zhu Ying went out with Eunuch Zhang,
Song Zhong and other Jinyi guards followed and were stopped by Xiaoling guards in front of Queen Ma's Ancestral Temple.
"Master Zhu, please wait a moment. I'll go in and make an announcement."
Eunuch Zhang said to Zhu Ying.
The chief eunuch, the eunuch in charge of the palace eunuch, is waiting in the Ancestral Temple of Queen Ma.
This place is much more impressive than the King of Yu, Zhu Xiongying.
There are twelve people guarding Xiaoling at the entrance, and there are also many patrol teams.
The Ancestral Temple looks almost the same as a palace, with extraordinary grandeur.
Except for His Majesty, even members of the royal family who arrive here must obtain the consent of the eunuch chief eunuch, the eunuch in charge of the palace eunuch, before they can enter. The guards are extremely tight.
The twelve Xiaoling guards are all tall and tall, and their eyes are not squinting.
There are so many vassal princes and princes coming here. Although Zhu Ying seems to have extraordinary temperament, this does not make them accommodating.
Although the Xiaoling Guards were controlled by the palace supervisor here in Xiaoling, they were directly subordinate to the emperor himself.
Inside the Queen Ma Ancestral Temple.
Eunuch Zhang reported to the eunuch who held the seal and asked to come in to pay homage.
"You mean, this person was sent by the envoy of Jin Yiwei Song Zhongzhen, and he looks very similar to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Eunuch Wei, the eunuch of the palm seal, asked with a frown.
"Yes, I suspect that he may be the illegitimate son of His Highness the Crown Prince." Eunuch Zhang said his inner guess.
Of course he couldn't think of Zhu Xiongying.
However, this person looks so similar to His Highness the Crown Prince, so this is the only possibility.
Moreover, it was sent by Jin Yiwei, who said it was a merchant, so naturally His Majesty also knew about it.
"Well, I'll go with you to greet you." Eunuch Wei said after hesitating slightly.
The Shrine Superintendent guards the tomb and still has great power.
Since he is not in the palace, even if the prince and vassal king come here, it will not work.
However, when it came to His Majesty, Eunuch Wei, the eunuch in charge, decided to go there in person.
In less than half a stick of incense, several eunuchs from the palace, headed by Eunuch Wei, walked over to Zhu Ying.
As the chief seal officer of the Shrine Palace Supervisor, Eunuch Wei was very familiar with Prince Zhu Biao.
After all, every year on the Queen's Memorial Day, His Royal Highness would come to pay homage on time.
Although I was mentally prepared, after seeing Zhu Ying, my eyes were a little shocked.
Even if they are biological father and son, not many have such similar looks and temperaments.
"This is Eunuch Wei, the master of the palm seal." Eunuch Zhang introduced.
"I've met Eunuch Wei." Zhu Yingzuo bowed.
"Master Zhu is out, please take a seat inside." Eunuch Wei said with a smile, glanced at Song Zhong and other Jinyi guards, and ignored them.
Because of their isolation from the world, the Shrine Superintendent didn't have a good look towards Jin Yiwei.
There is no need to be afraid of them, Jinyiwei cannot control the palace supervisors.
Song Zhong wasn't angry either. He had seen this situation so many times that it didn't matter.
The Jin Yiwei was notorious and widely circulated when the previous commander was in charge.
Zhu Ying followed Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Zhang and others into Queen Ma's Ancestral Temple.
Although Zhu Ying was not familiar with Queen Ma, she admired her quite a bit.
The importance to Zhu Yuanzhang is self-evident.
What impressed me most was the sentence that was widely circulated in later generations.
'All women of our Ming Dynasty, no matter poor, rich or humble, can wear royal clothes, phoenix crowns and harems when they marry. '
There are no facts or historical facts to prove that this sentence was said by Queen Ma.
But this custom did begin in the Ming Dynasty.
The use of Fengguanxiapei in folk women's weddings has indeed gained the tacit approval of the royal family.
Zhu Ying has also seen it many times.
Fengguanxiapei is not a piece of clothing, it is an accessory.
Phoenix crown, a crown ornament worn by emperors and concubines, decorated with phoenix-like jewels.
A part of a Ming Dynasty woman's dress in Xiapei, similar to a modern shawl.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was no concept of leasing wedding clothes. Naturally, not everyone could afford it, only wealthy families could afford it.
After entering the Ancestral Temple, Zhu Ying lit bamboo incense and bowed respectfully.
An ordinary memorial service does not require too many rituals, just an expression of respect.
After paying homage, Zhu Ying asked Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Zhang to resign and left without staying any longer.
Looking at Zhu Ying's leaving figure.
Eunuch Wei said with some confusion: "Why does the Sa family feel that Mr. Zhu looks so familiar? It seems like they have seen him there."
After finishing speaking, he added: "It's not because he looks similar to His Royal Highness, but because I feel like there is someone else."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang hesitated and said, "Eunuch Wei, does he feel the same way?"
Eunuch Wei heard this and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Eunuch Zhang said: "His Royal Highness King Yu."
"This is impossible." Eunuch Wei retorted subconsciously.
Then he recalled in his mind the figure of His Highness King Yu that he had seen in the palace.
"How... is this possible?" Eunuch Wei said in disbelief.
"Since Your Majesty asked Mr. Zhu to come to Xiaoling, he must have already known about it, so we don't need to worry too much." Eunuch Zhang said.
"That makes sense." Eunuch Wei replied, and then sighed: "What a troubled time it has been."
.....
The tomb of King Yu is located.
After Liu Rixin looked at the time and nodded to confirm, three thousand civilians immediately started digging.
Several Qintian Supervisor officials, holding compasses, were observing the excavation trends in all directions.
There were hundreds of Xiaoling guards around to assist. Liu Rixin seemed to be constantly wandering around to supervise, but in fact he was constantly calculating in his sleeves.
Not counting others, but counting yourself.
At the moment of excavation, Liu Rixin felt blessed in his heart and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
After some calculations, he actually found that his destiny had changed and seemed to have new vitality.
It's like being reincarnated as a human being.
"Could it be related to Mr. Zhu?" Liu Rixin thought to himself.
.......
The excavation of Xiaoling Tomb could not be completed overnight, even if it required the labor of three thousand people.
After all, it is not like later generations, which is equivalent to manual digging.
Due to the restrictions of the underground river, the movement cannot be too fast.
And because there has been a collapse, the depth of the excavation must be quite large.
It takes at least ten days to see results.
Daming Palace, in the Huagai Hall.
After Song Zhong sent Zhu Ying back, he immediately reported the situation.
After receiving the news, Jiang Wei hurriedly reported Zhu Ying's actions in Xiaoling to His Majesty.
"My great grandson, even if he has lost his memory, he still knows how to visit his grandma."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said sadly, with some comfort and regret in his heart.
It is a pity that Dasun cannot pay his respects in a legitimate way yet.
"Send the order and ask Liu Rixin to supervise it at all times to prevent it from collapsing. Our eldest grandson's coffin must be dug out."
"We want to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy ourselves."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He has no doubt about the possibility that Zhu Ying is the eldest grandson.
So in this case, it is very likely that Li Daitao is dead in the coffin.
"It seems that the palace needs a thorough inspection."
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking deeply about his eldest grandson, Rujun, the Minister of War, asked to see him.
"Xuan."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty previously asked your ministers to be wary of Japanese pirates along the coast. Now a report has been sent, and indeed Japanese pirates have appeared."
