Zhu Yijun's words shocked everyone present.
In the past week, this little guy had been practicing various etiquettes day and night under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Zaijing was amused by him again.
"It's harmless! If you forget it, just forget it. Just follow your two mothers and learn how to do it later!"
"good!"
According to etiquette, the emperor should bring his family and family to visit the empress dowager.
However, Zhu Zaijing’s mother, Concubine Du Kang, passed away as early as the 33rd year of Jiajing. Going to pay homage to her tomb would take a long time, so this process was omitted.
The second process is to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the temples of previous emperors to hold a grand "Xi sacrifice" ceremony. The so-called "Zi sacrifice" means enshrining the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in the Taimiao Temple and holding a joint sacrifice.
All civil and military officials and vassal kings from all over the country have gathered in front of the Ancestral Temple, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
The huge Ancestral Temple, the temple of the emperors of all dynasties, has not been so lively for decades.
Jiajing, the otaku old Taoist priest, refused to go out, so these etiquettes fell into disuse over the years.
Historically, Longqing and later Wanli did not like these activities, so they usually appointed a nobleman or a prince-in-law to worship on their behalf.
This is the source of Chao Gang's injustice: the emperors of the Zhu family took the lead.
After a while, Zhu Zaijing dragged his family to the Ancestral Temple.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"
The emperor and the prince of the Zhu family are receiving the kneeling worship of officials.
In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the people from the Ministry of Rites held various musical instruments that Zhu Zaijing did not recognize. The Han generals in front of the Ancestral Temple gate also put on golden armor and held Zhu Zaijing and Zhu Yijun with various gold and silverware. The father and son were dazzled.
Below, all the civil and military officials, clans and princes were all dressed in formal attire, kneeling respectfully.
"No ceremony!" Zhu Zaijing said, "I will take the prince to worship our ancestors first!"
Feng Bao on the side also put on bright red robes and exquisite official boots, making his whole body sparkling.
"Your Majesty has a decree. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will pay homage to their ancestors. Everyone is waiting here!"
Afterwards, the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was pushed open by the Han general whose armor jingled as he walked, and Zhu Zaijing walked in with Zhu Yijun.
Queen Chen and Concubine Li were waiting outside like everyone else.
In front are the portraits of successive Ming Dynasty emperors enshrined in memorial tablets.
Looking at the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the center, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but sigh.
Lao Zhu, a genius of a generation, was the emperor with the humblest origin among all the unified dynasties in history.
After all, you Liu Laosan is also a pavilion chief, with a thousand families and thousands of people in charge, but Lao Zhu is truly self-made, from a beggar monk to the lord of the world, a script that no novel dares to write!
In Zhu Zaijing's mind, Lao Zhu can definitely be ranked among the top three emperors in the past dynasties.
With just one achievement in re-creating China, he will be an emperor for eternity!
Without Lao Zhu, the north and south, which had been divided since the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty, would not be integrated again, the Sixteen States of Yanyun would not return, and China would probably not become a whole again.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing thought of a line from a Ming Dynasty TV series that he had watched in later generations:
"If this continues, our children may not even remember Tang poetry and Song lyrics in 30 years!"
This sentence fully expresses the importance of Lao Zhu's contribution to rebuilding China!
After that comes the portrait and tablet of Lao Si.
Fourth brother, you are not kind, where is Zhu Yunzhen?
After he ascended the throne, he changed the reign name from the 4th year of Jianwen to the 35th year of Hongwu, directly erasing Zhu Yunwen's existence.
There are no portraits or tablets in the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Zaijing suddenly remembered whether Lao Si was being spanked by Lao Zhu underground!
Looking over, Zhu Zaijing suppressed a smile in his heart when he saw the word "Cheng Zu" on the tablet.
He didn't know whether the fourth child had been beaten, but Jiajing would definitely be beaten violently!
The fourth child: I am Taizong! Taizong! Not Chengzu!
I remember that Jiajing also wanted his father to enter the Ancestral Temple, but the officials did not agree.
You, I, are not the emperor, so why should you enter the Ancestral Temple?
Moreover, the memorial tablets in Zong's area are full, so you don't have room to put them?
As a result, Jiajing directly changed the fourth son Taizong to Taizu and put it together with Zhu Yuanzhang, and then threw away the tablet of Zhu Gaochi, the emperor with the shortest reign at the time, and then moved his father into the Ancestral Temple.
The impact of this matter is extremely bad!
It directly broke the ancestral law that the ministers had always believed in!
Even if the emperor is so unruly, the officials below will not abide by it.
Then there are the portraits of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, the founders of the Renxuan rule.
But what surprised Zhu Zaijing was that this great saintly grandson, who was played by handsome men in various TV series in later generations, turned out to be the darkest-skinned and almost ugliest among these emperors!
After them is the Ming Dynasty War God Zhu Qizhen!
Call me the emperor!
Zhu Zaijing gets angry just looking at this thing!
"Fuck, I think I will move you out of the Ancestral Temple in the future!"
Then there is Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, the master of ZTE. It is not easy to clean up the mess left by the God of War.
What? Where is Zhu Qiyu?
He didn't enter the Ancestral Temple! Zhu Qizhen did great things after his restoration, and he was not able to enter not only the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but also the Ming Tombs!
It can be said to be very tragic!
Behind us are the model couple Zhu Youbing!
This is definitely the most underestimated emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he is quite unqualified as an emperor.
What? Isn't he frugal? Isn’t it very economical?
How frugal!
If he was really thrifty and moral, he wouldn't have such a shabby funeral!
After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the state treasury did not have enough money to organize his funeral according to specifications!
Moreover, this guy also abolished the death penalty for corruption in the "Penalty Ordinance", so you can atone for your crime by spending money!
Damn it! Isn't this our Qing Dynasty's crime bargaining silver?
That's right, this guy did it.
Zhu Zaijing thought to himself, "If Lao Zhu knew about it, would he strangle him to death?"
The so-called Hongzhi Zhongxing is something that was blown out by TM civil servants, because Zhu Youbin was a good old man like Song Renzong, and the civil servants could manipulate him at will. If you were a civil servant, you would also say that he was good.
Later, Zhengde Zhu Houzhao looked at his portrait, and Zhu Zaijing sighed deeply.
Jiajing was not the only emperor who was extremely intelligent in his generation, but Zhu Houzhao was also one.
Zhu Houzhao could speak 5 languages, and he even hacked enemies to death with his own hands during military campaigns. He was considered both civilized and military. Many people in later generations speculated that the so-called strange skills in the Leopard Room were actually Zhu Houzhao's research on various instruments and weapons. A place for weapons.
As for playing with women and running a zoo, isn't this kind of hobby normal for an emperor?
Moreover, his visit to Jiangnan was completely different from that of Mr. Shiquan.
Zhu Houzhao spent a total of more than 100,000 yuan on several trips to the south of the Yangtze River, which pales into insignificance compared with Shiquan's tens of millions.
