After Zhu Jianshen looked around for a week, he said loudly: "Emperor Taizu Gao started in his early days. After entering Nanjing, he defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng one after another, drove the Yuan Dynasty to the north, and restored the Han Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Wen moved the capital in order to determine the northern border and follow the weather. Shuntian, at this time, I am patrolling the south. I am also searching for my ancestors and asking about my roots. I must offer sacrifices to the filial piety mausoleum. I must be sincere, respectful and clean to enrich my ancestors. I dare not neglect the smallest detail and destroy the jade in the coffin. I also hope that all my dear friends can accompany me. Let’s go to worship together, with a heart of piety and a heart of awe..."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, many officials quickly nodded and responded in unison: "I don't dare to slack off..."
Zhu Jianshen nodded, then looked at Xu Youzhen: "Xu Aiqing, how are the preparations?"
After hearing the emperor's words, Xu Youzhen, who was standing in the front row of civil servants, glanced at Li Xian beside him, and then immediately stepped out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, all the necessary preparations have been made. The Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple have already set the date for the next day. "
The imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, the ancestral mausoleum in Surabaya, and even the Changling mausoleum of Emperor Yongle are not as good as the Xiaoling mausoleum in Nanjing.
Because Xiaoling Mausoleum is the joint burial mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Empress Xiaoci Gao, Empress Ma. It is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty. It was also the mausoleum with the most frequent worship and the highest standards in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
The "Five Small Sacrifice" and "Three Major Sacrifice" are held every year, and are handled by Taichang Temple, which is in charge of the sacrifices. The "Five Small Sacrifice" includes the death anniversary of Taizu Emperor Gao and Queen Ma. The "Three Major Sacrifice" refers to the three major solar terms of Qingming, Zhongyuan and Winter Solstice.
Among them, the Qingming Festival Mausoleum is the first of the "three major sacrifices".
Every time during the Qingming Festival, the emperor would send sacrificial officials to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the emperor himself would fast for three days in the palace in Beijing to pray for his ancestors. Officials of all sizes in Nanjing also had to participate. BIquGe.biz
After Zhu Jianshen listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he looked at the high officials and princes in the palace and sighed leisurely: "I went all the way south from Shuntian, to Economic South, Qufu, Fengyang and other places. What happened during this period?" , all my dear friends also know that now that the leader of the thief has been taken, you dear ones do not need to be afraid. He will never cause trouble in the future, and he will also be responsible for the pursuit. I came to Nanjing to pay homage to Emperor Taizu Gao, who is filial and kind. The Queen is here to bring peace to our ancestors and does not want to do more evil..."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen sighed again: "The traitor is plotting rebellion because of my misconduct. How can I bring shame to my ancestors..."
The emperor said that he did not practice virtue, but the officials could not really believe that the emperor was telling the truth, and they had to refute it, desperately refuting...
These officials of Fengtian Palace are all above the third rank, and they become better with age. As expected, when they heard Zhu Jianshen's words again, all the officials in the palace fell to their knees. At this time, they were all extremely agile, and no one wanted to be the last one. Kneel down.
Xu Youzhen took the lead in shouting: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have implemented benevolent policies, destroyed the Jurchens, helped North Korea, introduced the New Deal, and settled the southwest. You are so diligent and diligent. Those traitors are arrogant in their rebellion. They have nothing to do with your Majesty. Your Majesty must not belittle yourself." , guess yourself... Your Majesty..." After saying this, Xu Youzhen could only force herself to think about the tragic experience of her son being her grandson, so that she could squeeze out a few tears.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Thief Lu, Thief Yang and others have neglected their conscience and tried to harm Your Majesty. They have committed a heinous crime..."
"Your Majesty is both virtuous and well-known, and everyone knows it. How could you do this to yourself? Your Majesty said this, and I am ashamed of myself..."
Although everyone knelt down, the people who spoke were all officials from the capital. The senior officials in Nanjing were not used to it for a while, and they couldn't keep up with the rhythm. When they reacted and wanted to speak, they were stopped by the emperor. He stopped him with words: "My dear friends, please come to your senses quickly. You don't have to be like this. I was just heartbroken for a moment and said the wrong thing..."
The officials summoned into the palace were all officials above the third rank in Nanjing.
The people in Jinan City intended to rebel, but Jinyi Weimenda, Xu Youzhen, Han Yong and others arrested people in Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou. To put it bluntly, the root of this rebellion was in the south.
This incident also frightened the officials in Nanjing. The rich families who were arrested had such a high reputation in the local area. They had some subtle relationships with various yamen in Nanjing. Even if they were not close friends, they had eaten at the same table. Eat, drink, and brag.
These things are not difficult to investigate.
If His Majesty gets angry and decides to launch a strict investigation, they will all be implicated.
In the eyes of Nanjing officials, His Majesty the Young Emperor has no room for sand in his eyes. He has acted vigorously and resolutely since he took office, and everyone is panicked because of this.
But at this time, the emperor directly said that he would not pursue the matter in the future, which made the officials slightly distracted and fell into ecstasy.
Li Xian, who stood up, couldn't help but sigh in his heart and thought to himself: "Your Majesty's imperial scheming is no less than that of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, but he is still so young now, and I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the Ming Dynasty in the future..."
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, emperors such as Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong all have imperial skills, but they can play political tricks as a side job. Their main job is war, and their main character is a tough guy. The only one who has a cotton ball is Emperor Renzong, Zhu Gaoxu, who is a bit biased. , the emperor's mind far surpassed that of Taizong and Xuanzong. People thought that Renzong had only been emperor for ten months. In fact, he had been a talker for twenty years and ten months. If he didn't have a mind, how could he manage the country in an orderly manner.
Of course, the Supreme Emperor is not in Li Xian's consideration. This guy failed both subjects. Compared with the previous emperors, he somewhat belittles me as the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
The situation in Nanjing is too tense.
The tense situation will make some "careful people" more cautious, so he needs to calm down the situation in Nanjing. Of course, it is also extremely important to appease the officials.
At present, worshiping Xiaoling is the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
Ever since Emperor Xuanzong paid homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in his capacity as the crown prince, no subsequent emperor has come to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in person to pay homage to Emperor Gao in the past 40 years. But Zhu Jianshen came, and the specifications this time were far higher than those of previous sacrifices. This is why , the masterminds Menda captured in Nanjing were all sent to Suzhou to be killed...
Zhu Jianshen was in the Fengtian Hall again and listened to Xu Youzhen's description of the process of worshiping the ancestral mausoleum in the future. After receiving the detailed memorial, Zhu Jianshen asked the officials to leave the Fengtian Hall, and he also returned to the palace.
His Majesty's words in the Fengtian Hall that he would not be held accountable spread throughout the various ministries and offices in Nanjing within half a day. Those worried officials also breathed a sigh of relief, and then officials from all departments began to prepare for sacrifices. It’s about the ancestors.
Officials from the capital had to go to work, while officials from various ministries in Nanjing followed the emperor to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. This was decided before...
