After the three most noble people in the world reached a tacit understanding, all problems were solved, and the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the East Palace suddenly dissipated. The maids and eunuchs were closest to the imperial power, and were naturally extremely sensitive to these matters.
Empress Ma showed a kind smile on her face and said, "The older one has a birthmark like a sun on his left arm, and the younger one has a birthmark like a moon on his right arm. It's no coincidence."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly when he heard this: "He is indeed our grandson. The sun and moon will shine forever on the world. This is a great blessing!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile and said: "It's quite auspicious. How is Luo Hua? Please let me go in and take a look."
This is a great thing. What scares me the most is that the two little ones are exactly the same. It would be nice to be able to distinguish them. Zhu Biao originally thought about deliberately feeding one of them fat.
"No, there are no rules. Besides, if you go in, you will only get in the way. The cold wind will hit the child again. You two go and get busy. There is no need to go back to the East Palace. Princess Kaiping and I will stay here tonight."
Zhu Biao was scratching his head now. Good guy, the two little ones took over his east palace just after they were born. His mother and mother-in-law have to guard here. He has to go somewhere else tonight.
Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently: "Biao'er, hurry up and change into court clothes. Let's go to the Fengxian Hall to worship first."
After saying this, Lao Zhu walked excitedly towards Jinshen Hall. His imperial uniforms were still there. As for Zhu Biao's imperial uniforms, most of them were in Chengqian Hall. Fortunately, Wenhua Hall always had spare ones.
After making an appointment to meet at Fengxian Hall, Zhu Biao looked at the tightly sealed palace and walked briskly towards Wenhua Hall. Liu Jin, Liu An and others beside him were all very excited and looked happier than him.
Liu Jin returned to the Wenhua Hall to get the court clothes. Zhu Biao sat back and looked at the dry ink on the letter paper. He didn't have a son when he wrote the letter, and now he has two. Things are really unpredictable.
He raised his pen and continued writing, including what had just happened. The more he wrote, the more peaceful he felt. Although the two sons were a little surprised, it was nothing.
He and the Crown Princess are both young, and they will definitely have children in the future, and they will all be direct blood. Don't they want to fight?
Regardless of whether they are legitimate concubines or not, who will not fight if given the opportunity?
Being born into the royal family is one's destiny. How can it be that being a noble person in heaven and having rich clothes and food comes without any price?
What's more, competition is also a good thing. Very few princes in the past dynasties can board the plane safely. It's not because they are too comfortable. Zhu Biao doesn't agree with the method of raising Gu, but he doesn't want to raise a Taiping pig.
To be honest, he has never raised a child, and he is not sure whether he can cultivate a perfect heir. An excellent emperor may not necessarily be an excellent father, otherwise he would have been unified forever.
After all, although acquired education has a great influence, children have innate characteristics after all. It is not certain who is better among the two, but the eldest child undoubtedly has the advantage. There is actually no difference between giving birth to a cup of tea early and giving birth to one or two years early. That's the order.
This is fate. For example, if Zhu Biao is not the eldest son, even if he is outstanding in everything, he will never be recognized by Lao Zhu, let alone be naturally established as the crown prince, because rules are far more important than temporary gains and losses.
Establishing a virtuous person is a very subjective matter. Everyone's idea of virtuousness is different, and it may even be filled with all kinds of secret intrigues. After all, people are selfish, and an official who sits in a temple will never be a simple and upright good person. , if conditions permit, he will choose the monarch who is most beneficial to him.
Establishing direct descendants is the safest way. For such a huge country, stability is above all else, and internal strife is definitely more destructive than foreign enemies.
After placing the payment at the end of the letter and handing it to Liu An who was waiting aside, Zhu Biao stood up and stretched out his hands to let Liu Jin and others put him into a solemn court uniform, with four-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the left and right shoulders and front and back, and the bottom uniform was black.
Under the candlelight of the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Biao was like a living god set off by his extremely exquisite dragon robe. The eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs serving around him showed reverence and submission from the bottom of their hearts, even though they knew that the emperor and the prince also needed to eat, drink and drink like they did. spread…
Zhu Biao stepped out of Wenhua Hall and walked all the way to Fengxian Hall. Countless palace maids and eunuchs stood on both sides of the road holding lamps. The glazed tiles on the surrounding palaces were dazzling. If you look from a high place outside the palace, you can see the entire palace. Radiating light.
Before they reached the halfway point, the solemn and majestic sounds of ritual and music sounded, getting louder and louder, spreading from the palace to outside the Chengtian Gate. Without the need for communication, all the civil and military officials uniformly kowtowed and congratulated in the direction of Fengtian Hall.
The police officers in the capital immediately mobilized soldiers, including soldiers from the Military and Horse Division, to hang red silk ribbons in all conspicuous places in the capital, and smarter shops also spontaneously hung up red lanterns.
Due to the curfew, the people did not dare to come out to join in the fun, but they will be happy tomorrow morning when they see the brand-new capital city. Not to mention other places in the Ming Dynasty, the lives of the people in the capital city are getting better and better, but it is real. People dared to squeeze the people under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose.
Zhu Biao walked to the front of Fengxian Hall. It was far brighter than other places, even a little dazzling. The door of the hall was tightly sealed. There were several waves of formations in front of the hall, some were preparing sacrifices, and some were conducting rituals and music. The minister is in good order.
Zhu Biao solemnly saluted towards the main hall, and then he was surrounded by stars like a moon and rushed to the Rouyi Hall. Lao Zhu was also inside. The father and son looked at each other and then stood and let the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette perform the ceremony.
In fact, logically speaking, there is no need to be so solemn. After all, the emperor has many sons, and there will be many grandsons in the future. Even if he is born from the East Palace, it is nothing. After all, the death rate of the royal family in this era is not low, not to mention whether the prince can succeed the great treasure or not. Two different things.
But this dynasty is different. The crown prince's position is unprecedentedly stable. Nowadays, it is no longer as simple as the emperor's favor. All civil and military officials have surrendered to the crown prince. It can be said that everyone in the world knows that he has returned to his throne.
In this way, the direct child of the East Palace will not only be an imperial grandson, but as long as he can grow up healthily, he will be the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the heir to the most powerful empire in the world.
A lot of inexplicable things were sprinkled on Zhu Biao's body, and Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was also ordinary. After the golden basin cleaned his hands, the rituals and music outside changed and seemed more profound and natural. The father and son walked out one after the other, half a body apart from the front and back. Rubi Palace.
At this time, not only the officials of the Ministry of Rites were there, but also the officials of the fifth rank and above in the court had arrived. The solemn civil servants and mighty generals were like a morning battle line on both sides.
"bye!"
"I congratulate the Holy Lord and Heavenly Assistant for your virtue!"
"bye!"
"I congratulate Holy Shanghai Yu Xianning"
"Goodbye!"
"I wish you all the best, Your Majesty!"
After three bows and congratulations, the gate of Fengtian Hall slowly opened. Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Biao in. When the civil and military officials outside kowtowed again, they walked towards the altar of society under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites. Fengxian Hall was not the foreign ministers like them. Those who can enter, the Sheji Altar is the one they are responsible for worshiping.
The officials have left, but the ritual music cannot stop. I am afraid that tonight they will all play ritual music for the ancestors of the Zhu family. In it, Zhu Yuanzhang lit the incense with his own hands, gave some to his son, and then chanted it to his ancestors. They offer incense and kowtow.
Zhu Biao naturally followed suit. He has calmed down now, and even feels that the two brats are a trouble, and he dislikes them a little.
But Lao Zhu doesn't think so. His biggest hope is that God will bless him to live a few more years, so that he can help his son clean up the arrogant soldiers in the court, clean up the corrupt officials in the world, and give himself a stable country. It would be even better if I had the opportunity to train my grandchildren.
Lao Zhu was very proud of his ability to educate his son. He was so proud of how outstanding Zhu Biao was. Look at the prince he trained with his own hands, perfect!
In this regard, even the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty had to retreat and feel inferior. Their Fusu and Liu Zhi were useless. Look at my crown prince. He was versatile in both civil and military affairs. He was resourceful and courageous. Those two combined could not compare.
At this time, Lao Zhu has selectively ignored the next few sons. He may also feel that they are ineffective because I have not trained them properly. Anyway, they will eat, drink, poop and sleep. It's enough to be a prince of peace.
If he trains his grandson well, then the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for at least three generations. Three consecutive generations of wise and stalwart kings will be enough to create a strong foundation for the dynasty, which will last for at least several hundred years.
After kneeling for more than half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang finally finished whispering to his ancestors. He didn't know whether his ancestors agreed or not. Zhu Biao slightly raised his head and looked at the rankings above. In this atmosphere and the sound of ritual music outside, There is indeed a feeling of divine enlightenment.
Zhu Biao also muttered in his heart: "Blessed by our ancestors, I hope that these two children can grow up healthily. I also hope that they can be brothers and sisters, and that they will not fight against each other because of the throne in the future. I hope..."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at his son who was still kneeling on the ground and said: "Biao'er, you must remember to establish a direct lineage in the future. Let us make a good start so that our future children and grandchildren can follow suit. You have read many books since you were a child. Li You also know Tang’s lesson.”
Zhu Biao exhaled and said: "My son understands, father, please rest assured."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. It is naturally unfair to the little ones, but there is never fairness in this world. Since you are born into a descendant of the royal family, you should enjoy the blessings and be wronged. This is fate!"
Although he has never met these two little grandchildren, they are his direct grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang's, and their bloodline with Empress Ma. How could there be any reason not to love them?
But if you don't make a decisive decision at this time, you will definitely have heart-piercing pain in the future. It will be too late to regret it by then. Zhu Yuanzhang has seen too many things in troubled times, begging in the south and fighting in the north and south, so he will always Unswervingly strengthen the position of the eldest son.
Zhu Yuanzhang feels distressed because he values bloodline in his bones. This is due to the characteristics of the times and also due to Zhu Yuanzhang's lonely experience since he was a child. However, Zhu Biao is different. He has the same attitude towards his sons and brothers.
Born into a royal family, you have enjoyed endless blessings since childhood. You are destined to be rich and prosperous throughout your life. What kind of fairness do you want? If you all scream that God is unfair, how can the people outside the palace live?
In short, what I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you have no right to complain. If you really have the ability, come and grab it. Only when you grab it is your real ability!
