When the young eunuch saw the Crown Princess sizing her up, he knelt for a short while and kowtowed: "Slave Zhao Huaian, please see the Crown Princess."
Chang Luohua looked at Zhu Biao as soon as he heard it. The word "Huai" was special, and the slaves below did not dare to choose it for themselves. Liu Jin on the side explained: "This is the name given by His Highness last night."
Hearing this, Chang Luohua nodded and looked at the lucky little eunuch and said, "You two must serve His Highness well along the way, and you will be rewarded generously when you come back."
The two agreed immediately, and Chang Luohua gave a few more careful instructions. Zhu Biao also finished his breakfast at this time, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's not like I'm going far away, let alone traveling with the Holy Driver, so don't worry about it. , it’s better to hold on tight to your body.”
After saying that, Zhu Biao stood up and put on a thin moon-white cloud brocade ge-shirt, which was suitable for summer wear. It was light, comfortable and breathable, but after all, it was men's clothing and was not as good as women's tulle skirts.
Chang Luohua leaned over to take care of his husband's leader and said softly: "It's summer. Your Highness must be careful when you are outside. You may suffer from heat stroke."
Zhu Biao looked at his pregnant wife with tenderness in his eyes: "I have already asked the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse every other day. If you suddenly feel unwell, no need to worry about day and night, ask Liu Jin to ask the imperial doctor immediately. I have already He left a message for him and no one dared to stop him."
Chang Luohua took his hand and placed it on his already somewhat swollen belly: "I will definitely take good care of myself and my child."
The two of them hesitated for a moment, then Zhu Biao turned around and left the East Palace. Liu An and Zhao Huai'an hurriedly followed. As for Zhu Biao's daily things, they were all placed on the chariot, and the chariot was rushed to the gate of the palace early in the morning. Waited.
Zhu Biao walked straight towards Kunning Palace. After saluting, Liu An quickly passed him and walked to the front to clear the way. His Royal Highness bumped into the concubines of the harem who had gotten up early to take a walk.
All the way to Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao obediently listened to his mother's instructions. His mother was worried after his son traveled thousands of miles, while his father drank tea and watched with interest.
After seeing that it was almost done, Lao Zhu gave some words of persuasion. Empress Ma let her son go, turned to look at her husband and suddenly said: "I was wondering if I should also go there. After so many years, I haven't had a chance." Go and kowtow in front of your parents’ tombs...
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could reply, she shook her head and rejected the proposal: "Hey, forget it, Luo Hua is pregnant, and I don't feel at ease if I go. I'm afraid I'll be back just after leaving the city, so I'd better wait until next time."
Lao Zhu nodded and said: "Let's do it next year. Next year, our whole family will go there. It's also the time for the grand ceremony in the fifth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. By then, our Zhu family will have the third generation. Let our ancestors see the prosperous descendants." Everyone, please follow me and have fun, so that you can bless our Ming Dynasty and make our country prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang walked directly out. Zhu Biao said goodbye to his mother and hurriedly followed him. As he was walking towards the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by a group of civil servants: "Your Majesty, stay here, Your Majesty, stay here. You are going to Where to go? I heard that Your Majesty is going to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave the capital for a tour. This is too dangerous. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Biao, who was behind, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, thinking that it would take a while. Fortunately, most of the censors were still in the Penal Department Prison, otherwise the ink marks would not be able to be removed until dark.
The Tian family has no private affairs, and it is difficult to hide the news in the palace. Moreover, the emperor's guard of honor and the escorts are clearly placed at the entrance of the palace. The officials naturally sensed that the emperor was about to make a big move.
Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless when he saw them: "We will take the prince back to Fengyang to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum. The super government will be temporarily presided over by the left prime minister Hu Weiyong. All affairs in the court will also be troubled by the ministers to handle them with their heart. Military and national affairs will be urgently reported to us." ."
The Minister of Civil Affairs bowed and said: "The Ministry of Rites should arrange the regulations for Your Majesty's worship at the Imperial Mausoleum, and then let His Royal Highness the Prince lead the princes to worship on Your Majesty's behalf. The affairs of the country and the dynasty are heavy, and we cannot do without Your Majesty for a day."
The officials of Zhongshu Province also raised their hands and said: "The country cannot live without a king for a day. Even if the Holy One misses the Emperor Kao's concubine and prepares to go to worship him in person, the Crown Prince should be left to supervise the country. How can the two monarchs come out at the same time? I will ask the Holy One to think twice." "
The rest of the officials also mean the same thing. Your Majesty, it is best not to go. If you really want to go, I can’t stop you. But you have to leave the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince to us anyway. Otherwise, if there is an eventuality, the situation will be turned upside down. They don't dare to take this risk.
After a while, Hu Weiyong led a large group of people. Under the bright sun, a group of officials started crying again. Everyone knew that the emperor mainly wanted to explain himself in front of the tomb of Xian Yihuihou, and then execute Liu Chun justifiably. , to ensure the continuation of the purge of officials.
The guilty officials naturally did not want to see Liu Chun killed. After all, as soon as Liu Chun died, the patrolling imperial envoys would definitely understand the emperor's determination, and they would definitely intensify their efforts to find evidence against them.
However, Lao Zhu had made up his mind. After writing for a while, he directly ordered the soldiers to separate the officials and get into the car. Zhu Biao, who had been chatting with him all the time, quickly followed and pulled away the hand of the Minister of Rites, which was tugging on his sleeve: " Old Shangshu, please let go, it’s just a trip to Fengyang, there will be no problem.”
After getting in the car, the father and son touched the beads of sweat on their heads. Seeing that both the emperor and the prince had lost their hair, the officials who were still crying suddenly became quiet. After trying their best, there was nothing they could do about the rest.
After leaving the palace gate, we saw a huge crowd of emperor's ceremonial guards, with flags waving, canopies dancing, drums and music loud and magnificent. There were more than 800 people in the accompanying drums alone, with instruments including big drums, cymbals, festival drums, and drums. The main ones are small drums, Yubao drums, flutes, flutes, long and medium blows, large horizontal blows, and 筚篥.
This is only part of the ceremonial display. A larger escort ceremonial guard is waiting outside the city gate, and larger accompanying chariots such as jade chariots, large chariots, horse chariots, golden chariots, and walking chariots are also waiting outside the capital. .
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial chariot arrived, Zhang Wei at the forefront led the flag team. After the Sun and Moon Dragon Flag, there were 2 Heavenly King Flags, 12 Twelve Star Flags, 1 World Peace Flag, 5 Five Directions Dragon Flags, and the Golden Flag. One Luan, Jinfeng flag and two lion flags fluttered in the wind. People knelt on both sides of the road along the way.
The Sima drove, the evil chariot drove, the Ji Dao chariot drove, the Jingshi chariot drove, the elephant chariot drove the drums, and the Shidao Hou opened the way and drove in sequence. A large number of infantry, cavalry, school captains, court captains, and escorting generals used halberds, swords, bows, and arrows to drum and drum. Escort.
In fact, this was the first time that this set of ceremonial guards had been used since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhu Yuanzhang did go out of Beijing during this period, but he disliked the large ceremonial guards and their slowness and inconvenience in coming and going, so he always left with Qingqi.
And this time it is to be shown to the world. Naturally, we have to go slowly and let things ferment. Naturally, the honor guard is getting better and better. The crimes Liu Chun committed have been spread. They are extremely heinous and add fuel to the fire. When it was passed to the back, it was simply outrageous. "
