In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the first day of October was auspicious.
Before dawn, there were already more than a dozen officials, holding various costumes, waiting respectfully outside the door of Kunning Palace.
Led by the eunuch Guo Zhong, a group of more than ten people were as quiet as statues, without making any sound.
After a long time, there was a sound in the room. Guo Zhong, who had sharp ears, heard it and gently walked up and opened the door, and then slowly entered the palace.
At this time, Zhu Ying had woken up on the bed.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time is approaching, please wash up and change clothes." Guo Zhong said softly, for fear of disturbing His Highness in front of him.
Zhuying nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Guo Zhong turned slightly sideways and waved his hand behind.
The eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time filed in immediately.
A eunuch replaced the incense burner and lit the latest incense.
An official brought a golden basin to rinse His Highness Taisun's mouth and face.
A eunuch took a wooden comb and carefully combed His Highness's hair.
There are more than ten people in the group, each performing their own duties. They seem busy, but in fact they are orderly and the processes are extremely skillful.
In the incense burner, light smoke floats, refreshing the heart and mind.
This is Yaxiang produced in Yazhou. The price of the incense is hundreds of gold, or ten thousand yuan per piece. It is the first of the four incense and is a tribute from the palace.
Because of its rarity, it was not commonly used even by the royal family, and was only used during ceremonies such as sacrifices.
And only the emperor and prince are qualified to use it.
While the aroma was rising and Zhu Ying was washing up, the eunuchs holding their crown robes stood quietly by the incense burner, allowing His Highness Taisun's crown gown to be infected by the aroma.
The beauty of the service seal is called Hua, and the etiquette is great, so it is called Xia.
Since the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang rectified and restored the Han costume system in the Central Plains.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Han nationality's costumes were more dignified in appearance, grander in bearing, more complex in shape, more colorful in pattern, more diverse in materials, and more exquisite in tailoring than in previous dynasties.
It is the pinnacle of clothing in all ages.
What Zhu Ying is about to put on is the crown robe used in the highest ceremonial standards.
This is the most gorgeous and elegant dress.
There is a saying that God created the people to serve as pastors, and that the sages and sages succeeded each other and set up the pole to care for the billions of signs.
On top of the crown, there is a crown, which is called the crown.
Gong serves as a heavenly official to govern all people, and the crown is a symbol of this kind of king's power granted by heaven.
After Zhu Ying finished washing, the eunuch Guo Zhong carefully crowned Zhu Ying.
The style of the crown was also displayed in front of Zhu Ying.
It is on a cylindrical hat roll, covered with a wooden crown plate.
The front and back of the crown plate are round, symbolizing the round sky and the round place.
The top of the crown plate is painted green and black, and the bottom is painted yellow and red, symbolizing the yellow color of heaven and earth.
Jade beads are strung together with colorful silk ropes and hung on the front and back of the crown board to symbolize the passage of time.
Balls made of silk cotton were hung from the ears to remind the king not to listen to slander.
When worn on the head, the crown should be lowered in the front and raised in the back, symbolizing care for the people.
Zhu Ying stood with his hands flat, and various eunuchs were waiting to change his clothes.
The mianfu consists of an upper garment and a lower garment. The upper part is green and black, symbolizing the sky, and the lower part is yellow and red, symbolizing the earth.
There are six different patterns on the upper and lower garments, collectively called the Twelve Chapter Patterns.
Exquisite robes make you look even more majestic.
After finishing dressing, Zhu Ying walked out of the room. The darkness broke, the morning was slightly bright, and a ray of light fell from the sky and enveloped Zhu Ying.
The various gemstones on the crown reflect the morning light.
At this moment, Zhu Ying's whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo, like a god descending from heaven, which shocked his mind.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, including Guo Zhong, were all in panic. They fell down one after another with their foreheads touching the ground and did not dare to get up.
.......
Daming Palace, Jinshen Hall.
Perhaps this is the first time there has been such a lively scene.
Among them are eighteen princes, more than twenty grandsons, and more than ten princesses.
The more than fifty princes, princes, queens, and grandchildren are all Zhu Ying's uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters.
Standing in the front row were the vassal kings such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Ji, and Zhu Zhen.
The following is arranged in order of eldest and youngest.
In fact, this process did not exist in the original canonization of the prince, and it was added temporarily by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is also because Zhu Ying has been living abroad for ten years, has no memory of life in the palace, and is not familiar with these relatives of his, so Zhu Yuanzhang specially arranged a family recognition session for him.
Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the eldest grandson is the most important, the other princes and grandsons are also his own flesh and blood. What Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see more is,
In the big family of the palace, Zhu Ying, as the future head of the family, loves and lives in harmony with his family, and jointly governs the world.
Zhu Di stood in the front row, his face calm as usual, with no other emotions visible.
Zhu Fan next to him kept provoking him with his eyes, which made Zhu Di a little irritable.
The two people were originally sworn enemies. No matter what the occasion, whenever there was an opportunity, Zhu Fan was definitely the one who took the initiative to provoke.
Zhu Di felt that he could hardly bear it anymore and punched the third brother violently. He just suppressed his anger and slowly calmed down.
It's not that he doesn't dare, it's just that Zhu Di understands that if he takes action, his second brother will definitely help.
One on two, two fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and he is not sure that he can win.
The second brother and the third brother are not economical. If they were beaten by Fatty instead, they would be humiliated in front of the juniors behind them.
Besides, on a day like today, if a fight breaks out, I will definitely be chased and beaten by my father.
In the back row of the princes and princesses, the one taking the lead among the princes and grandsons was naturally Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Mingyue.
As the direct children of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the status of the three of them is inferior to that of even some princes and princesses.
There is a big difference between direct descendants and concubines in the palace.
Unlike Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue's excited faces, Zhu Yunwen's face showed a bit of loneliness, even though he was relieved.
Zhu Yuanzhang formulated various complex etiquette systems, even requiring the length of people's sleeves and robes.
However, the person who least abides by the system is himself.
According to the rules, Zhu Ying is currently the grandson of the East Palace, so the route should start from the Chunhe Palace of the East Palace, go to the back left door of Jinshen Palace and enter.
Since the eldest grandson has lived in Kunning Palace since he was a child, he has been living in Kunning Palace.
In this regard, even the imperial censor did not dare to say anything.
Everyone knows very well that His Majesty Changsun is His Majesty's heartthrob. Anyone who touches him will not be told any etiquette and rules, but will be dragged out and chopped.
If you still refuse to accept being cut down, I will send your whole clan down, neat and tidy, and you won’t have to eat.
In this way, the route was changed to go from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, and then enter directly from the back door of Jinshen Palace.
In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing the same crown dress as his grandson, looking forward to it.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Da Sun coming.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson, who was becoming more and more extraordinary under the background of the imperial uniform. He felt particularly happy and pleased. He walked forward three steps at a time and held his eldest grandson's hand tightly.
Take them together towards Jinshen Hall.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father! I pay my respects to His Highness, the great grandson!"
"Greetings to Grandpa Huang! Greetings to His Majesty the Great Grandson!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Ying's hand and appeared in front of many princes, princesses, and grandsons in the Jinshen Hall, more than fifty people present bowed and saluted.
When he walked to the top of the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said something to him, then sat down, and then asked Dasun to say a few words.
Zhu Ying took a quick look and saw everyone's faces.
Some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.
After being in the palace for so long, there are indeed many people I haven’t met yet.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying said loudly: "Being able to return to the palace is something I never knew and never thought about before."
"Here, I would like to solemnly thank one person, that is my fourth uncle, King Yan."
"At that time, I was wandering around and making a living by doing business. I happened to be in Peiping. It was my fourth uncle who saw me and insisted on bringing me to the capital. Otherwise, I would still be in the Western Regions now."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Zhu Ying said this and bowed to Zhu Di to thank him.
When Zhu Di heard this, he quickly bowed in return.
Hearing these words, Zhu Di's mood became very complicated.
The current Zhu Di is completely different from the Zhu Di who was in trouble in history.
When he first met Zhu Ying, he really thought he was his nephew, but then he checked and found out he wasn't.
I didn't have many ideas at first, but when the news of my eldest brother's death came, under the instigation of Master Daoyan, I had more ideas and wanted to use Zhu Ying.
It's a pity that Zhu Ying became real again after using it again and again.
On the way to the capital, Zhu Di kept asking himself, what would he do if he found out that Zhu Ying was really his eldest nephew?
Thinking left and right, tossing and turning.
In the end, Zhu Di discovered that even if he really knew that he was his eldest nephew, he would probably still send Zhu Ying back to the capital because of his eldest brother relationship.
He may be blocked by Master Daoyan, but Zhu Di understands his feelings for his eldest brother.
Whether it was killing Zhu Ying or imprisoning him, he couldn't do any of these.
If you don't kill, you will regret it, but if you do, you will feel guilty in your heart for the rest of your life.
When he was a child, it was his eldest brother Zhu Biao who had always taken care of him. It was his eldest brother Zhu Biao who made his father truly accept him.
It is also the eldest brother Zhu Biao who has been protecting him.
Although Zhu Di is cruel, he truly cares about his father and elder brother in his heart.
How could Zhu Di do such a thing by killing his eldest brother's eldest son?
Of course, there is another factor in this, that is, Zhu Di feels that even if he kills his elder brother's eldest son Zhu Ying, the throne will not be his turn, but the hated nephew Zhu Yunwen.
At least now, Zhu Ying still has a friendship here. The throne is really given to that boy Zhu Yunwen. When his father leaves, he is afraid that he will definitely be targeted.
Zhu Di was a little absent-minded, while Zhu Ying above was talking about some small things in life.
For example, some interesting things such as the Ping'an Teahouse when he first arrived in the capital, his acquaintance with the old man, etc. This made the descendants of the royal family below have a more obvious understanding of Zhu Ying and a slight sense of intimacy.
Giving a lecture, oh, no.
Zhu Ying is naturally very skilled in creating a sense of intimacy.
In the ending, Zhu Ying said: "I have lost my memory and have been wandering since I was a child. What I longed for most was family affection, when I watched other people's uncles, other people's aunts, and other people's younger brothers and sisters enjoying themselves."
"At that time, I was really envious."
"After entering the palace, my grandfather often taught me that the palace is a big family, and everyone here is my relative. I am no longer alone, but have many family members."
"Finally, I am no longer alone. I have a brother, a sister, and uncles who care about me a lot."
"Second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle all helped me a lot before I entered the palace. The teahouse built in the capital was still given to me by my fourth uncle."
When he said this, Zhu Yingying was trembling with anger, and once again bowed deeply to Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di: "Thank you."
Except for the feudal lord, most of the royal family's descendants have lived in deep palaces for a long time.
Maybe he has read a lot, but in terms of knowledge and communication, he can't compare with Zhu Ying, let alone words like this.
Faced with this sincere expression of emotion, many princes even shed tears from the corners of their eyes.
The almost identical temperament and the familiar feeling reminded them of their elder brother who had always protected and cared for them.
The younger ones were also deeply moved when they heard Zhu Ying's sufferings in the past and his humble words now as His Royal Highness.
For a time, all the descendants of the royal family in the entire Jinshen Palace bowed to Zhu Ying in return.
On the stage, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little moist.
Isn't this what he has always wanted to see?
The former Zhu Biao was the most popular with him in this aspect, and the current eldest grandson was indeed like his father in this aspect.
"Okay, okay, okay, we are getting older. From now on, our eldest grandson will be the head of our old Zhu family. We are very happy to see our eldest grandson loving and caring for our family."
"but."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, then looked at all the princes and grandsons, and said rather sternly: "Your eldest brother once loved you very much, but if anyone relies on this love to do evil, in our eyes, But you can’t knead the sand.”
"Dasun, please remember this. Don't ignore punishment just because you are soft-hearted. Your second uncle and third uncle are all very naughty. If they do something wrong again, we will give them a severe beating."
Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan in the audience felt a little disgraced after being reprimanded by their father in front of the juniors.
Especially Zhu Xi, if it were not for Zhu Ying, he would probably be banned in the Prince of Qin's palace now.
Zhu Fan seemed to notice the gloating of the fourth brother next to him, and snorted lightly.
But this cold snort seemed to be caught by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his sharp eyes instantly enveloped Zhu Fan.
Zhu Fan hurriedly bowed and said: "Father, please rest assured that I will definitely obey His Majesty Changsun's orders seriously and will not dare to make mistakes."
Today was a great day for his eldest grandson, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much about him. If it was normal, he would just go over and greet him with his killing stick.
When Zhu Fan saw that his father didn't say much, he felt a little relieved. Looking at his fourth brother next to him out of the corner of his eye, he felt extremely unhappy.
At this time, Liu He whispered next to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and stood up, taking his eldest grandson to Fengtian Hall.
The princes and grandsons followed closely behind.
In Fengtian Square, hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting on both sides.
It's a bit wrong to say that there are hundreds of officials now. There are probably more than 400 officials in the court, but on a special day like today, all officials with rank, even those from Qingshui Yamen, Hanlin Academy students, and Imperial Academy students.
They all want to witness the canonization ceremony of His Royal Highness Taisun here in Fengtian Square.
The total number of people was approximately close to five thousand, which was really huge.
At the forefront are the concubines of the Sixth Palace, headed by Concubine Ning.
On the right side of Concubine Ning is the Lu family, but the person on the left side of Concubine Ning attracted the attention of the concubines of the Sixth Palace and all the civil and military officials.
That was Ye Yueqing wearing a Xiapei jade belt.
At this moment, Ye Yueqing completely lost her usual calmness. Instead, she was as frightened as a frightened little rabbit.
She didn't expect that when she woke up in the morning, there were palace maids and eunuchs who had already prepared.
After putting on the gorgeous crown clothes, she was taken to Concubine Ning's left side.
Ye Yueqing naturally understood the meaning of this.
But these were all things she only had in her dreams. Ye Yueqing from Mohu couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
It wasn't until morning dawned that she truly realized that all of this was true.
Just when her heart was pounding, Concubine Ning took Ye Yueqing's hand and said with a smile: "Yueqing, don't be too restrained. There are still many days to come, so you have to get used to it as soon as possible."
"It may be a little abrupt, but this is what I discussed with His Majesty last night. You have always been by Xiongying's side. I believe Xiongying also has great feelings for you."
Seeing Concubine Ning's kind smile, Ye Yueqing's heart gradually calmed down, and Wanfu said, "Thank you, empress."
Concubine Ning patted Ye Yueqing's hand gently, her eyes close, as if she were looking at her own child.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lu on the right immediately understood that this was the woman next to Zhu Ying.
What she didn't expect was that Concubine Ning would actually push her to become the grandson concubine.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.
His Majesty is already old, and Zhu Ying is only eighteen years old now. Of course, Zhu Ying will be the one to decide the future of the palace.
Zhu Ying's ability is well known to everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second to His Majesty. Even His Majesty will give in to him a little bit. His character is naturally extremely strong.
If at this time, a woman with a powerful natal family is arranged to be the concubine, the second empress of the Ming Dynasty, then the life of the other concubines in the harem will not be too easy.
Someone like Ye Yueqing is more in line with everyone's interests, and will also gain the approval of His Majesty and His Royal Highness Changsun.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Lu has also heard that this woman named Ye Yueqing, like His Highness Changsun before, is also alone and has no family involvement.
This reduces a lot of conflicts and makes it easier to maintain relationships.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu also smiled and showed an affectionate expression.
The Fengtian Gate opened, and the princes and grandsons filed out, standing on both sides.
After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang appeared holding Zhu Ying's hand.
"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty the Grand Sun is here!"
When the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, all the princes and grandsons, concubines in the harem, civil and military officials, scholars, bachelors, maids and eunuchs, and palace guards all fell to their knees and shouted: "Long live your majesty, long live your great grandson." !”
In front of Zhu Ying, everyone who saw him knelt respectfully in front of him.
This is the emperor's supreme authority.
Anyone who sees this scene will feel excited.
If it weren't for her previous life, Zhu Ying would have experienced a big scene with tens of thousands of people, and she might have had some stage fright.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he saw Da Sun facing it calmly.
Then he said loudly: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sacrifice to ancestors and heaven is to tell heaven and earth that from today on, the future heir of the Ming Dynasty will be Zhu Ying.
Sacrifice to heaven is the Shejiyuan on the right side of Duanmen.
The process of offering sacrifices to heaven is very complicated, divided into nine steps: welcoming the gods, laying jade and silk fabrics, entering the group, first offering, sub-offering, final offering, withdrawing, sending off to the gods, and looking forward to the ceremony.
Every time a ritual was performed, Zhu Ying had to follow Zhu Yuanzhang and kneel three times and kowtow nine times to the main position, the supporting positions, and the subordinate positions respectively during the solemn classical music.
From welcoming the gods to seeing off the gods, one has to kneel more than 70 times and kowtow more than 200 times, which lasts for an hour.
In comparison, worshiping ancestors is much simpler.
After praying, it was almost done, and the whole process took less than half an hour.
After all this is over, it's time for the grand military parade.
The military parade was held in the square in front of Chengtianmen.
The square in front of Chengtianmen is connected to Chang'an Street.
This is the inner city. Previously, there was a T-shaped closed square in front of Chengtian Gate, with Chang'an Gate on the left and right.
However, before the military parade was scheduled to start, Zhu Ying discussed it with the old man. This affected the parade lineup and limited the viewing experience, so the place was demolished.
The left and right Chang'an Street has thus become a thoroughfare.
This square has been completely opened up, and even Chang'an Avenue on the left and right has been widened to a great extent.
Chang'an Street, which was originally less than 500 meters, is now nearly 2,000 meters long.
The width is also fifty meters wide.
From Chengtian Gate, you can see everything at a glance.
Under the Chengtian Gate and inside the Waiwulong Bridge, it is still more than ten meters wide.
This is the place where civil and military officials and diplomatic envoys watch the ceremony.
And outside the square, there are the people.
All personnel from the Five Cities Military and Horse Departments and the Ming Dynasty Public Security General Department were dispatched to support and maintain order.
The descendants of the royal family and the concubines naturally watched from the wall of Chengtianmen.
Because of the height of the city wall, a temporary platform was specially built where Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying were, which made it easier for soldiers and people to see the emperor and grandson.
When Zhu Yuanzhang came here, climbed onto the platform on Chengtian Gate and looked into the distance.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been the emperor for so many years and had led large armies in battle, seemed a little excited when he saw the endless people in the distance.
Roughly speaking, nearly two million people from the inner and outer cities of Nanjing crowded here crazily.
Too much, really too much.
Zhu Yuanzhang even saw that there were many people lying on the roof watching.
When the figures of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying appeared on Chengtian Gate, even though they were more than sixty meters apart, sharp-eyed people still saw them.
He was so excited that he shouted loudly: "It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty, it's your Majesty!!!"
This is much crazier than chasing stars.
Under the influence of Confucianism, the power of kings is given by heaven. In the hearts of ordinary people, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is heaven, a god, and the master of all things.
You know, even if the No. 1 scholar is parading through the streets, countless people would like to cheer him up, let alone the emperor who can handpick the No. 1 scholar at will.
As the shouts spread, the entire crowd immediately became excited.
What is it like when hundreds of thousands of people are shouting wildly?
The sparse white clouds in the sky were broken by this shocking aura, leaving a clear blue sky.
In this world, there is no other sound, only the filial cry of "Long live your Majesty" fills the world.
Not only these hundreds of thousands of people, but when the sound spread, two million people in and around Nanjing were infected by the crazy shouts and shouted loudly together.
Where Zhu Yuanzhang cannot see, it is the gate of Nanjing City.
The soldiers stationed at the city gate clearly heard the shouts in the capital city. With their blood boiling, they knelt down on one knee and shouted in the direction of the palace.
At this moment, even the people lining up in front of the city gate stopped, knelt down and shouted in the direction of the palace.
The entire city of Nanjing seemed to be moving amid the shouting.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his arms and enjoyed the overwhelming cheers.
At this moment, he felt that the military parade was really a good thing. In the twenty-five years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there had never been such a grand event.
The most important thing is that this grand occasion appeared before his eyes.
Now, in everyone's ears, there are voices cheering for His Majesty, and no other voices can be heard.
No matter who it is, no one can stop the enthusiasm from the people.
After half a stick of incense, the cheers slowly stopped.
After such a long time, countless people's throats have become hoarse and they really have no strength.
After everything was quiet, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded gently to Liu He beside him.
Liu He suddenly understood and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, beat the drums! Play music!"
"Your Majesty has a decree, beat the drums! Play music!"
"Your Majesty has a decree, beat the drums! Play music!"
The eunuchs shouted in succession to convey His Majesty's decrees. In this ancient world without loudspeakers, this was all they could do.
With the sound of drums, the military parade finally began.
At this moment, many foreign envoys under the Chengtian Sect were so shocked by the scene before them that their limbs became weak.
Here is the Ming Dynasty, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and just a city of the Ming Dynasty.
Although it is the largest city, the Ming Dynasty ruled a vast territory, with more than a thousand cities.
Most of the foreign ministers here have a population controlled by their country, which is far less than that of the capital.
What can I use to compete with Ming Dynasty? I can only bow my head and obey the ministers and do what the ministers should do honestly.
Unlike the foreign ministers, the pride on the faces of the civil and military officials, especially the students of the Imperial College, was clearly visible.
This is the emperor they want to be loyal to, this is the people of their Ming Dynasty, and this is the world they will fight for their whole lives.
In this atmosphere, let alone officials, students, academicians, and foreign ministers.
Even the concubines, vassal kings, and emperors and grandsons on the Chengtian Gate were silent and their minds were taken away by them.
winter! Dongdong! winter! Dongdong!
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Under the sound of drums, the ground suddenly seemed to tremble, as if a giant was walking from a distance. This was the sound of feet tapping on the ground.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
The military parade began, and the figures in the distance gradually became clearer, and the neat formation appeared in front of everyone.
This square parade from later generations was finally displayed in front of everyone for the first time.
Their steps were neat and uniform, their footsteps were sonorous and powerful, and every step they took stepped on the beat of the drum. Their unswerving eyes were extremely sharp and terrifying.
And there was not one such formation, but sixteen in total, moving forward together.
Each square has 350 people, and 16 squares, which happens to be a guard station, have 5,600 people.
In front of this is the commander and deputy commander of the guard station.
Seeing the soldiers forming a square formation approaching unswervingly, the people in the front row felt fear and couldn't help but retreat.
Such visual impact is simply unimaginable.
The elite soldiers are enough to shock the people. The soldiers with such military discipline and uniform movements are something that the people have never thought of.
Not to mention the civil and military officials, they all stuck to the side of the moat, just to get a clearer view.
And those envoys from foreign countries can put an egg in their mouths.
Not many countries come to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, but there are still a lot of foreign envoys living here in Tianjie Temple.
These envoys were equivalent to the ambassadors to the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and they lived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Daming is basically responsible for their food and clothing.
Every time a tribute was paid, these envoys would basically submit an application first. After being approved, they would send a letter back to their own country.
The countries currently observing the ceremony under the Chengtian Gate include: Java, Ryukyu, Uszang, Champa, Xifan, Dajianlu, Siam, Xuwenda, Dogan, Korea, Mera, Hameri, Chenla, and Biel Lost Bali, Samarkand.
When the soldiers of the Sixteenth Squadron appeared, everyone held their breath, and Pirma Heima stared at them without blinking. He wanted to explore the combat power of the Ming Dynasty soldiers from this aspect.
Looking carefully, every soldier is in high spirits, and his face is full of glory.
When the sixteen square formations arrived at the center of Chengtian Gate.
The conductor at the front shouted: "Look to the right!!! Stand at attention!!!"
The soldiers of the Sixteenth Squadron turned to the right and shouted: "One! Two!"
Whether it was intentional or coincidental, at this moment, the eyes of the soldiers all fell on the Chengtian Sect, the diplomatic envoys, and the civil and military officials.
Sixteen square teams and one guard, totaling five to six thousand people.
However, the momentum of this shouting is like that of thousands of troops.
Bearing the brunt of the attack, all the people under the Chengtian Sect backed away in fear, and many even fell to the ground.
The commander of the guard took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The Zhennan Guard under the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, pays homage to His Majesty, and pays homage to His Highness the Grand Sun."
"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live your Majesty! Long live His Royal Highness the Grand Sun!"
As the individual shouting ended, all 5,600 people in the sixteen square formations at the rear knelt down on one knee and shouted in the direction of Chengtian Gate: "Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live your Majesty! Long live His Highness the Grand Sun!"
This strong sense of ritual made Zhu Yuanzhang's old body tremble with excitement.
At this moment, the drumming and music also stopped, which was convenient for His Majesty to lecture.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't hear anything at all.
Fortunately, the distance from Chengtianmen to the guard station is less than 20 meters. Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath, and then Langsheng said:
"All generals are safe!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As the soldiers stood up, the drum music came to mind again.
"All officers and soldiers, listen to my order, start... let's go!"
Following the beating of drums, the military parade of the Zhennan Guards under the Left Army Governor's Mansion came to an end.
A month of hard training is just for the display time of less than half a stick of incense.
However, for these soldiers, they all felt that it was very worthwhile.
In the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, thousands of ministers at home and abroad.
And Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Grandson, the royal family has a noble stomach.
show yourself.
At this moment, the 5,600 soldiers of Zhennan Guard were completely transformed.
The belief in fighting for the Ming Dynasty emerged spontaneously.
From then on, Zhennan Guard had a true military spirit.
"Dasun, you are amazing. You are truly amazing. We have never seen such an army in our lives."
"Such a large army, one hundred thousand of us can be used as one million!"
The subtle changes in Zhennan Guard were clearly visible in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been fighting for most of his life, naturally knew what the changes in Zhennan Guard meant.
It's not that every one of the Zhennan Guards can be equal to ten, but in the hearts of these soldiers, they have faith and the belief to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty.
In a war dominated by cold weapons, there is a death ratio.
For example, if 10,000 soldiers reach 15% death, it is easy to cause an avalanche chain reaction and directly collapse and flee.
Excellent generals can increase this death ratio through military training.
Famous generals from all dynasties could still continue fighting even after suffering 50% casualties.
The so-called sad soldiers will win is because of morale.
Of course, this does not include battles with trapped beasts, or elite teams of hundreds or thousands of people.
At least it is on a scale of tens of thousands of people.
As for the current Zhennan Guard, Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line estimate is that they can at least achieve 50% casualties and still be able to fight with all their strength.
When such an army appears on the battlefield, it is a disaster for the enemy.
Amidst the sound of drums, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look into the distance.
There, there were another sixteen square formations, walking in neat steps.
In terms of the momentum of the personnel, they are no worse than the Zhennan Guards just now, and are even vaguely better.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there would be thirty guards in such a military parade today.
Among them, the twelve personal guards who have been training for the longest time have not yet appeared.
Also, the grandson who was the grand finale was directly under the personal guard Xuanjia Wei.
Thirty-two guards, nearly 108,000 people, this military parade lasts at least one and a half hours.
As a line of soldiers from the guard post passed by, the overall momentum continued to rise.
Ordinary people can't see the soldiers who appear later, but anyone who knows soldiers can notice that they are getting stronger.
Whether they are officials in the capital or diplomatic envoys.
Most of the back was soaked.
This was suppressed by the momentum of the soldiers.
Under the Chengtian Gate of each guard station, look to the right! '.
All covered directly on their bodies.
High energy throughout, body tight.
Some elderly ministers had already fainted because they could not bear it anymore and were dragged away by the officials.
"Is there really anyone in this world who can fight against such a general?"
"My brave soldiers in Samarkand, if we face them, I don't even have half a chance of winning."
"Why, why are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty so powerful? Why did no envoys report before this? Are they all eating shit?"
"No, when I go back, I must tell grandpa that you can't mess with Daming. He's too strong, too strong."
"Just by looking at these soldiers in the capital, they are estimated to be able to stop hundreds of thousands of our troops in Samarkand."
"With Ming Dynasty, we can only make good friends and not make enemies."
Pirma Heima clenched his hands, stared at the Ming soldiers passing by in front of him, and said to himself in his heart.
This military parade gave Pierma Heima a subversive impression on Ming Dynasty.
Such a scene is really too breathtaking.
Not to mention seeing it, it was a powerful army that he had never heard of.
The army directly under Grandpa Timur was the strongest army he had ever seen.
On the battlefield in Central Asia, every battle is invincible and every attack is invincible.
But compared to the soldiers in front of me, they were nothing!
As the military parade progressed, many people began to quietly change in their hearts.
All the generals in the Huaixi military general group headed by Liang Guogong Lan Yu, who had been in charge of the army for a long time, were stunned and excited.
You must know that these soldiers are all affiliated to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
As officers, except for some commanders who were directly in charge of the guard post, most of them didn't even know when these soldiers had completely changed their appearance.
"If I lead such soldiers into battle..."
This idea bubbled up in the minds of almost all generals.
If you have such soldiers under your command and have made great achievements, isn’t it easy to capture them?
Compared with the excitement of the military attache, the civil servants seemed a little worried after they came to their senses.
According to historical development, in the stable years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, literati must have dominated the military.
The horses are released in Nanshan and the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse. This is what is bound to happen.
But now, with the appearance of His Highness the Grand Sun, it seems that this convention is about to be broken.
After a military parade, everyone can predict that the status of warriors will be unimaginably improved.
You can see something from the reaction of the people in the capital now.
Originally, the people were disgusted and disgusted with the army, especially military service, and they resisted in their hearts.
This is the impact of military service in all dynasties.
But at this moment, many middle-aged men have begun to have vague thoughts of becoming soldiers.
The spiritual leader of literati, Liu Sanwu.
At this moment, he has returned to the Hanlin Academy.
As soon as the officials left and the imperial doctor came, he opened his eyes.
Along with him, there were two academicians of the Hanlin Academy who were about the same age.
One of them is Zhang Xin, who was the number one scholar in the Jiaxu branch in the 27th year of Hongwu and was awarded the title of compilation by the Hanlin Academy.
One of them is Bai Xintai, a famous Confucian in the Jiangnan area and now an academician of the Hanlin Academy.
"Sir, after this, what should we do? I originally thought that when the great grandson ascends the throne, he should give more importance to civil servants, but now it seems that His Majesty the great grandson is kind-hearted and ruthless, and his ambitions are even more generous than your majesty's!"
Zhang Xin, who is in his fifties, Liu Sanwu, who is eighty years old, and Bai Xintuan, who is in his early seventies, still look very young in front of them.
And these words also expressed his worries.
Bai Xintuan also said in a deep voice: "This is reasonable. The changes in these Qiu Ba are really amazing. They are even better than the soldiers trained in the military books."
"It can be seen that His Highness Taisun is particularly interested in military affairs and conquests, and has talents comparable to His Majesty's."
"Your Majesty is old, so he will naturally not engage in war without permission, but His Highness Taisun is different. According to records, His Highness Taisun only turned eighteen this month."
"Young people are inevitably very energetic. With such a powerful army at their disposal, their ambitions are probably incalculable."
When Liu Sanwu heard what the two said, he nodded in agreement and sighed: "Although the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish."
"Today's great prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, in my opinion, is not necessarily a good thing."
"It is true that I have seen that it has created enough shock for many foreign ministers to prevent them from acting rashly."
"But the conquests on the border are not because of the competition for land. The threats on the grasslands are because of their food, which makes them unable to survive."
"The annual tribute is my Ming Dynasty's relief for them, so that they can barely survive and avoid chaos on the border."
"But our Ming Dynasty doesn't even have enough food to feed our own people. How can we appease so many ministers?"
"Given the temperament of His Highness Taisun, if there is a war on the border, or if it goes against our Ming Dynasty, he will be furious and raise tens of thousands of troops to fight. By then, blood will flow like a river."
After speaking, Liu Sanwu sighed.
At this time, Zhang Xin and Bai Xin dressed, and they were worried about the country and the people.
For a long while, Bai Xin gritted his teeth: "The Buddha language has clouds: I do n’t go to hell, who is in hell."
"What we can think of, His Majesty must be aware of it, but His grandchildren returned for ten years and loved Wushuang. Even if you know, your Majesty can't bear to blame."
"Now, only one person warns His Majesty with his life, and His grandchildren. You can evoke His Majesty, and His Royal Highness warns."
After that, Zhang Xin was resolute and wanted to speak.
But he was pulled by Bai Xin.
I saw Bai Xin daily: "I have seventy now, and my life is enough. I believe in it, you can not have a destiny year, and there is a long time in the future."
After speaking, Bai Xin looked at Liu Sanwu and continued: "Sir, you can't go, the literati in the world, you still need to lead you."
"So, naturally I go, it is the most suitable!"
Bai Xinxing said firmly.
When Liu Sanwu heard this, he was blocked in his throat, but he didn't know where to start.
Only by holding Bai Xinxian with both hands can you express his excitement.
It was Liu Sanwu three, when I talked closely.
The parade outside Chengtianmen is about to end.
Shangwei, the last guard of the 12th guards of the court, is not Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei did not participate in this parade because of his duties.
The replacement of Jinyi Guard is Zhu Ying's defender and Xuanjia.
Xuan Jiawei's clothing, after Zhu Ying's adjustment, the design of tight and black and red cloak, looks more refined, and it is also a gorgeous and noble manifestation.
Their queue is more neat than the thirty -one guard in front.
Even in height, it is a high degree of unity.
The visual effects of this are even more noticeable.
The most special thing is that there are not only swords on them, but also a thing similar to fire.
Say it is a fire, it doesn't seem to be, no one has seen such slender fire, it is more like a thick stick.
When Xuanjiawei appeared.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the tallest platform in Chengtianmen, looked sideways to the grandchildren, and laughed: "You should, big grandson."
This sound, with a trace of liberation, and strong hoarse.
The thirty -one shout made Zhu Yuanzhang's throat could not bear it.
It has always been supported by excitement and excitement.
When Xuan Jiawei appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take the last chance to let the grandson.
Obviously, the concession of the grandfather did not appear in the established process, and it was the temporary intention of the old man.
However, at this moment, Zhu Ying, who had been watching for a long time, just paused for a moment, and replied: "I will not let my grandpa disappoint."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and walked down.
Standing for more than a period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already in his sixties, felt a little bit unbearable.
This relaxation almost did not fall.
Zhu Ying's eyes were fast, and he suddenly held it. At the same time, he instructed the eunuch: "Move the dragon chair over."
The dragon chair was prepared for a long time, but Zhu Yuanzhang had been unwilling to sit before.
In this situation, you can only sit down and rest.
Liu He immediately brought to the tea to make up for Zhu Yuanzhang to make up for the blood of the deficit.
With a bite of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was much more rosy.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying started to go to the high platform in front.
When Zhu Ying stepped onto the high platform, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Liu He immediately made his eyes look at the two eunuchs.
The two eunuchs pulled their legs and flew towards the drummer who hit the drum.
When Xuan Jiawei was about to arrive in Chengtianmen, the drums and music became more and more popular.
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth showed a satisfactory smile.
This is that he did not notify the grandson and made a modification deliberately.
Zhu Ying, who heard the change of drum music, immediately understood that this was the teachings of the old man.
He did not choose to look back, because Xuan Jiawei at this moment had reached Chengtianmen.
Xuan Jiawei took the lead, and immediately recognized that it was not his Majesty who was standing on Chengtianmen, but instead replaced His grandchildren.
Suddenly, my mood became more excited.
"Directly under the guard of Xuanjia, meet His grandchildren!"
"Long live Daming! Her Majesty has long live! Long live the grandchildren !!!"
"Long live Daming! Her Majesty has long live! Long live the grandchildren !!!"
Feeling this unparalleled impact, Zhu Ying was shaking.
This is not scared, excitement, excitement, full of sense of accomplishment!
There was a Ming Dynasty, Qi of the Han Dynasty, the town of the Tang Dynasty, and the old coin of the Song Dynasty.
No dear, no compensation, not cutting ground, unsuccessful tribute.
The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.
Throughout the ancient and modern times, it is the hardest dynasty.
The iron bone is 铮, and it is Huaxia Liang.
He was fortunate to be reduced to Daming.
Today, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely universal.
The strength of Daming is the pinnacle.
That's why, what are the reasons for Zhu Ying?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying looked at Xuanjiawei 5,600 people, and he sang:
"All are! Listen to my order!"
"ignition!"
"Run!"
"For Daming !!!"
