He waved to Li Qi to continue doing things. Zhu Biao appreciates talented people. Li Qi has done very well recently. Zhu Biao doesn't care about the little conflicts back then. After all, his mental age is much older than them, and the little boy is also very cute. of.
Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Fuzhong and other noble disciples really impressed Zhu Biao. They may have some minor problems, but they are not broken in their bones. As long as they are well trained, most of them can become pillars.
Now they are scattered all over Fengyang Mansion, and they are all working hard. Of course, there are also black sheep. Zhu Biao has thrown those dandy boys who cheated, cheated, and liked to say weird things into the corrupt official camp. They are under the skin every day. Under the whip, wasteland was reclaimed.
In the afternoon, Zhu Biao personally went to the newly reclaimed farmland for a walk, and then went to see the newly built houses. Tomorrow, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di will lead people to have a place to stay. Those young people who followed Zhu Biao have also been waiting for a long time. They were devastated, and they were also very worried after being separated from their wives, children, and children for so long.
The next morning, their team arrived. Li Qi led the officials to greet them. It was troublesome for so many people to mess up. Zhu Biao walked to the front of the team, and the familiar sounds of crying and crying came one after another, calling dad and mother. There was an endless stream.
The two brothers also saw their eldest brother coming and hurriedly dismounted to pay their respects. Zhu Biao reached out to support them. They saw that the two men looked exhausted both physically and mentally. Zhu Biao smiled and joked a few words. The two brothers kept calling him again next time. I won’t take my women and children with me on the march anymore, which is too much trouble.
At this time, Zhu Fan also hurriedly rode over and greeted his brother and brother enthusiastically. The two brothers looked at each other, grabbed Zhu Fan together and ravaged him, while Zhu Biao looked on with a smile.
After Zhu Biao saw that it was almost done, he said: "Okay, leave this to them. Brother will take you to have a good meal. Thank you for your hard work."
The three brothers stopped and Zhu Fan grinned. When did these two guys learn to pinch people? They are so insidious.
The other two people also expressed to each other with their eyes, "You have made a fortune by betraying us and enjoyed a happy life with your eldest brother. You are really insidious!"
Zhu Biao turned around and walked towards the camp with a smile. The three brothers were making small moves behind him. Zhu Biao was really grateful to these three guys. They saved Zhu Biao a lot of things. The identity of the prince was his guarantee. , not to mention that they each have their own abilities.
Naturally, you can't be stingy when you are supporting your younger brother. There happened to be a fight between two cows, and one of them was seriously injured and died. There were sheep and cows, and with the local wine, the four brothers had a good meal.
Zhu Biao had a lot to do tomorrow, so he went back to rest first. The three brothers stayed in the tent and didn't know what to talk about. Early the next morning, Zhu Biao saw the three notes held by Liu Jin...
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di rested for a day, and then helped out. They immediately took over some chores, and Zhu Biao was free to make better plans.
Moreover, the sacrifices had to start as soon as possible. When the princes arrived, they naturally had to kowtow to their ancestors. Mao Xiang's side had also made arrangements. After another two days of busy work, Zhu Biao led his younger brother to the imperial mausoleum.
As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned King of Wu, he ordered his subordinates to repair the tombs of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. Zhu Biao had been here when he was the prince, but this was the first time for his brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang valued family ties. This mausoleum was completely built beyond the specifications and has not been completed yet. However, everything that should be there is basically there, and the rest is to be carefully polished.
This imperial mausoleum covers an area of more than 20,000 acres. It can be said to be a small county town, but no one is allowed to live there. It has three roads: the imperial city, the brick city, and the earth city. There are more than a thousand palaces and houses, mausoleums, Stone carving group etc.
Zhu Biao led his brothers into the Shinto. On both sides were stone statues of civil servants, military generals, chamberlains, and civil servants, each more than ten feet tall. There should be some stone statues of ligers and tigers, but the carvings have not been completed yet.
According to the complicated etiquette, Zhu Biao led his younger brothers to worship their ancestors. This was just the opening scene. The real sacrifice had to be outside. After all, no outsiders were allowed in the imperial mausoleum.
Last night Mao Xiang had already taken away the imperial seal, and had also invited respected celebrities and scholars near the capital for various reasons. They would be the main force in the propaganda.
In the sacrificial temple outside the imperial mausoleum, Fengyang officials and village elders stood aside, as well as some highly respected people who were suddenly summoned. They exchanged glances with each other, and they probably all knew that there was a big surprise today. .
After all, what does the prince's sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum have to do with them? There is no need to call them here. Moreover, they naturally know what they rely on for food. They are here just to bear witness.
The four princes put on solemn crowns, all of the same style, except that the crowns on their heads were Jiuqi for the prince and Baqi for the three princes. Their officials knelt on the ground one after another. Zhu Biao took the lead and walked to the front to pay tribute to his ancestors. He offered three sacrifices and took his brothers to perform nine obeisances to honor the ancients.
Everything was as usual, but everyone's minds were tense. Suddenly, several loud noises were heard, the house seemed to tremble a few times, and several figures flashed quickly in the hidden corners of the memorial hall.
A few tiles from the roof of the sacrificial hall were also quietly removed. It was the scorching sun at noon. With a few cleverly placed bronze mirrors, the room instantly shone with golden light. The dragon shadow on the wall flickered and appeared, and a dragon roar sounded. .
The people, officials and soldiers outside the house were all shocked, but Zhu Biao's soldiers reacted immediately and rushed in. No matter what happened, they must first ensure the safety of His Royal Highness. Fortunately, Zhu Biao had already ordered Fu Zhong to stop them.
The village elders in Fengyang Mansion lay on the ground in fear, and the officials were also a little panicked. The respected old men were well prepared, but they also looked very hesitant on their faces.
Zhu Biao had already approved the letter for his brothers. It would be very embarrassing if any of them ran out in fear. However, since there was a vision, it was natural that he could not stand still. Zhu Biao knelt on the ground and shouted: "I ask my ancestors to calm down."
The rest of the people knelt on the ground one after another, the sound of the dragon's roar gradually subsided, the golden light gathered on the tablet, and the ancient ethereal and majestic voice came: "The destiny is restored, and you will live forever!"
Before Zhu Biao could react, the people behind him started shouting. The golden light gradually disappeared. A purple-gold wooden box suddenly appeared under the memorial tablet. Zhu Biao stood up and walked over.
Everyone fell silent and watched the prince walk over step by step and pick up a four-inch seal with five dragons on it from the wooden box. As the prince turned around, he raised the seal, revealing the words below: Everyone's eyes widened with the eight seal characters "Heaven, may you live forever".
A world-famous Confucian scholar immediately shouted in a hissing voice: "This is the destiny of the Ming Dynasty! It has been lost for many years, but now it appears in the imperial mausoleum. This is the will of God, and our Ming Dynasty will last forever!"
The rest of the people also began to shout. Although the people outside did not know why, they also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison. Zhu Biao put the jade seal back into its original position, and then led the others to kneel down to congratulate the Ming Emperor.
