Xuan Zhi said: "The crown prince crowns him and orders his ministers to salute."

All the officials bowed four times, and the ceremony was completed. The emperor entered the Fengtian Hall and took his seat. The civil and military attendants Ban Ju took his place in the hall. Binzan, the deacon and officer went down the east steps. The officials of the East Palace and Dr. Taichang went to the East Palace in front of the palace.

“The illustrious God favors me, Huang Ming.

Juezhi Yihe, the vassal state is in peace.

It will last for a hundred generations, and benefit all living beings.

Timely happiness, Tianlu is a blessing.

Long live the Qianqiu, and watch the success forever. "

The great Emperor of Heaven has favored our Ming Dynasty. Our destiny has been fulfilled, our foundation is solid, and our support is a glorious one.

What is it? It is to cultivate the virtues of the prince to prevail.

What is a vassal? This brought peace to the feudal states.

Blessings and fortunes will last for a hundred generations, and all living beings in Deze Palace will enjoy happiness in time. God-given blessings and fortunes will last for thousands of years, and they will be able to see their achievements forever.

Accompanied by the accompaniment of the emperor, the crown prince wore a coiled collar, narrow sleeves, and gold-woven dragons on the front, back and shoulders. Surrounded by the officials of the East Palace, he went out from the Chunhe Gate to the Sheji Altar to worship.

In front of the Sheji altar, there are sixteen dancers and four Dongyi people. They have buns on the back, tied with red pins and gold headbands, blue and green painted clothes with large sleeves, and green pins and gold skirt edges.

Four people from Xirong, their heads are wrapped with brocade, bright gold earrings, red silk pleated jackets, bright red cloud shoulders, and blue and green trousers with gold pins.

The barbarians from all four groups formed a line, and danced as if they were kneeling down to pay homage, leaping and prostrating in joy. Two dancers held a banner to guide them. The banner was seven feet and five inches long, with a vermilion lacquer handle and a golden dragon swallowing its mouth. There are five layers of five-story hanging multi-colored luo towers, each layer decorated with five-color pin gold blowing ribbons and hanging red pink knots at the end.

"The Ming Dynasty rules the world, has a broad holy grace, controls the country, conquers the Rong in the east, and barbarians in the north and south. Hold it high in your hand, and hold a treasure plate."

A dance to appease the barbarians was played for the Crown Prince to watch.

After watching the visit, the prince praised the good deeds, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites reported to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. Along the way, they reported that the Ming Dynasty, which prospered in response to the luck of fire, was blessed with the birth of the Ming Emperor...

The crown prince paid homage to the ancestral temple and offered three sacrifices of rice seeds.

The rites and music played "The horse carries the pictures to read the biography of heaven, the turtle carries the books to read the humanities propaganda, Xi painted the hexagrams and Yu Chou narrated them, the emperor built them to be in harmony with nature..."

After the prince paid homage to the Sheji Zong Temple, he walked towards the Fengtian Hall and stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. The internal praise officer ushered in the kings, who all knelt down. The king of Jin, Zhu Fang, reported: "My younger brother Zhu Fang met his eldest brother, the crown prince. I cannot bear to be overwhelmed by the honor and crown. I would like to lead all my brothers to congratulate His Highness."

"My brother, please congratulate Your Highness!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "Good."

The internal praise officers sang in unison: "Fall down and rise, stay flat!"

The external praise is sung: "Bow down, worship."

After the music was completed, all the kings bowed again and bowed four times. After Ping died, they bowed again. The prince bowed again and the ceremony was completed.

The kings followed the prince to the Fengtian Hall to worship the Holy One. The officials of the Ministry of Rites guided the prince to the incense table, made music, bowed four times, and then stopped.

During the initial crowning ceremony, the Crown Prince and Grand Master presented the Yishan crown and wished: "On an auspicious day of the month, I will begin to add Yuanfu. I will give up the word "Young" and I will be virtuous."

All the civil and military officials were guests, and they all congratulated in unison: "Mao Jing is my inheritance, and I will always introduce Jingfu!"

The grand master knelt and put in the crown, and the prince accepted it. The official of the Ministry of Ceremonies began to undress, the crown prince entered, took out the undressed robe, sat down again, and performed the ceremony of crowning again.

The Crown Prince and Tutor presented Pi Bian with the blessing and said: "The crowning ceremony and promotion are to achieve the order's virtue, respect and be cautious in the majesty, and it is the way of the people."

All the civil and military officials congratulated: "I wish you to drink more wine and make it more fragrant!"

The Taifu knelt and entered the Pi Bian. The Prince accepted it, entered the Pi Bian, changed the Pi Bian clothes, walked out, sat down again, and performed the three crowning ceremony.

The crown prince and Taibao held their crowns and congratulated him, saying: "I will serve you with dignity and respect, and you will be pious and respectful in order. I will keep the imperial throne forever for thousands of years."

All civil and military officials wished: "Receive blessings from heaven and may you be prosperous forever!"

After the crown was finished and he entered the palace, Yi Gun came out with his crown and the crown. The three guests knelt down and entered the palace. The crown prince greeted Gui, received the knighthood, and placed it on the case. The teacher of the Jiaofang made music and played.

There was clear jealousy in the eyes of all the princes. What kind of crowning ceremony was this? It was almost the same as the enthronement ceremony. My father really wanted to trample everyone down to support his eldest brother.

He actually asked Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun to come as three guests, and all civil and military officials as accompanying guests...

Zhongshu Prime Minister Hu Weiyong came out of Fengtian Palace and summoned the prince to enter.

The three guests were surrounded by civil and military officials. The crown prince entered the palace and knelt down. The emperor stood up and proclaimed the edict: "Be filial to your king and relatives, be friends with your brothers, be close to the virtuous and love the people, live by benevolence and righteousness, never be lazy or arrogant, and flourish forever."

The Queen's precepts said: "Keep filial piety to your friends, be blessed with blessings, be respectful and cautious of dignity, uphold the principles of the people, respect heaven and love the people, and forever consolidate the country."

"I am not sensitive, I dare not accept it." Perform five bows and three kowtows.

Zhu Xi, who was at the end of the hall, asked in a low voice in confusion: "We have already finished the ceremony, why haven't we given any words yet?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zhu Fan responded in a low voice: "Words are for people of the same generation to communicate with each other. What's the use of giving words to eldest brother? Do you dare to shout?"

There should be words after the crown, but at this time, including the Ministry of Rites, they naturally ignored this step when discussing it.

………

After the crown ceremony, Zhu Biao's life did not change at all. If there was any change, it would be that he was forced to accept some Zhaoxun and Fengyi, and he could only try his best to share the rain and dew.

The second and third eldest children left Beijing and went to vassal state. Many Wu Xun who had been stationed there for several years were also transferred to northern Xinjiang or back to the capital camp. Zhu Biao recently accepted most of them. daughter.

After the crowning ceremony, the father and son's grudge against Sun disappeared and they returned to their previous state, spending the whole day together in the Jinshen Hall handling government affairs.

"Biao'er, the Luchuan envoy will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. Go and meet him."

Zhu Biao said: "Seeing or missing is of little significance. Luchuan sent Wang Zhen back. This time, he wanted to hand over the seal given by the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. He also brought gold and silver elephant cavalry as tribute, hoping that the imperial court could canonize him. Lord, this is just a delaying tactic."
