Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong received the order and became the chief official of the accompanying sacrifices. He then led the accompanying officials to Xiaoling and enshrined the sacred tablets in the Xiang Hall of Xiaoling.
Taichang Temple had prepared sacrifices in advance, and the Hanlin Academy wrote a memorial and presented it to the Emperor for viewing on the day when His Majesty entered Nanjing.
The Jinyi Guards set up Danbiyi Guards, and the Ministry of War asked Jian to order the ministers of civil and military affairs to stay in the capital. Then they dispatched military generals and soldiers to guard the mountain passes, selected retinues to escort the troops, and taught the commander-in-chief of Da Le.
The preparations have been going on for a long time, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
And in the early morning of the second day, the first ray of the rising sun was shining on Zhu Jianshen, who was slowly walking out of Fengtian Hall.
He was wearing sacrificial robes and holding a jade gui in both hands, and behind him were the officials Xun Chen.
According to the rules and regulations for worshiping the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the officials who follow the emperor should be the officials of the Six Ministries of Jiuqing Yamen Hall, one subordinate official each, and then the subordinate officials of Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple, and Hanlin Academy bachelors. The Japanese officials, the Imperial Academy Jijiu, Ying Tianfu Yin, six officials of the Sixth Section, thirteen officials of the Thirteenth Dao, and all the honorary ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing who had titles.
Zhu Jianshen led the officials from Fengtian Palace and walked all the way to the palace gate.
Then Xu Youzhen held the edict in his hand, read it loudly, and prayed to heaven. Then, there was great joy. With the officials kneeling in obeisance, Zhu Jianshen boarded the chariot.
There were 236 accompanying officials, more than 3,000 bodyguards, and 300 Jinyi guards who personally protected the emperor, surrounded by the chariot Zhu Jianshen was riding on...
The sacrificial officials had all arranged themselves in the Xiaoling Mausoleum last night, and Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong was waiting in the Xiaoling Mausoleum at this time.
Zhu Jianshen in the carriage looked solemn.
He was actually a little nervous.
He held Yugui tightly in his hand, and his palms were already sweating a little, but he still didn't know it. He took a deep breath from time to time, trying to regain some peace in his heart.
To be honest, Zhu Jianshen had never been as nervous as he was today during the Capital Sacrifice. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
immediately.
He can reach Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum.
Even though Zhu Jianshen had become a talker in the Ming Empire at this time, both in his heart and in his body he believed that he was a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang Zhenger Bajing, but his awe for Zhu Yuanzhang deep in his heart did not decrease with the change of status.
The branches are low under the weight of snow, but even though they are too low to touch the mud, when the red sun rises, they are still level with the sky...
What a courage.
In his previous life, Zhu Jianshen loved the history of the Ming Dynasty and could never forget that when he was a student, he saw that on October 21st of the first year of Wu, Emperor Taizu Gao appointed Xu Da, the prime minister on the right, as the general to conquer the captives. Pingzhang Chang Yuchun was appointed as deputy general and led an army of 300,000 people to march north into the Central Plains...
What was even more impressive was the "Edict to the Central Plains" written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, which said, "Expel the barbarians, restore China, establish an outline, and save the people." It was like the image of a savior, appearing in this troubled land. in a difficult land.
He is also the only monarch in China's history who has successfully unified the world from south to north.
The Northern Expedition first took Shandong, then Henan, captured Tongguan, and marched into Dadu. It seemed logical.
At this time, the Mongolian and Yuan forces were left alone, and the main battlefields were retreating steadily. At this time, even if the Ming army encountered the Mongolian army in its heyday, it would definitely win the final victory.
After General Xu Da captured Kaifeng City, Zhu Yuanzhang personally took command of Tokyo City and directed the army to march westward to Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu, laying a solid foundation for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang caused many major crimes in his later years, killed many people, and doted on his descendants too much, which caused the Ming Dynasty to lay the foundation for trouble in the vassal affairs, these few stains are still It cannot affect his glorious and majestic historical image.
Expelling the Tartars and restoring China became the most heroic voice of that era, allowing this troubled nation to stand up again...
Two hours later.
The huge team finally arrived at Xiaoling's dismounting square.
No matter what your status is here, you must dismount and walk into the Golden Gate, which is the main entrance of Xiaoling Mausoleum.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Chengzong, had already been waiting at Xiamafang.
Behind him were more than a dozen eunuchs on duty at the imperial mausoleum, as well as the sacrificial officials who accompanied him...
When he saw the emperor's chariot appearing, Xu Chengzong hurried to greet him.
"The priest Xu Chengzong came to see His Majesty and asked Your Majesty to dismount the chariot and walk in..."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he stepped off the carriage with the support of Gao Yi and Zhao Huanong.
"Wei Guogong has worked hard and is safe..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Xu Chengzong finished speaking, he stood up and quietly came to the civil and military team that had been following the chariot, and stood next to Ning Guogong Chen Ying.
After Zhu Jianshen got off the carriage, he looked at the dismounting square. On the forehead of the square were engraved "all officials dismounting" in six regular scripts, which were written by Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di...
Zhu Jianshen walked toward the Xiamafang. He remained solemn and solemn, holding the jade guide on his chest with both hands.
After passing Xiamafang, under the guidance of the priest, Zhu Jianshen came to the Golden Gate.
The Golden Gate is a building with yellow glazed tiles and double eaves. The lower part is a stone Xumizuo. It is 30 meters wide and 10 meters deep. There are three door openings in the wall. The middle door is higher and the left and right doors are slightly lower. This Golden Gate is a filial piety The main entrance to the southwest of the mausoleum.
Zhu Jianshen entered through the middle gate, while other officials, divided into civil and military groups, entered the Golden Gate.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the construction of the mausoleum.
And in the following year, the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the iron-blooded emperor's favorite Queen Ma passed away...
In September of the same year, she was buried in the underground palace. Because Empress Ma had the posthumous title of Xiaoci, Zhu Yuanzhang took the word "filial piety" from the posthumous title and named the mausoleum "Xiaoling".
In the 31st year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty collapsed in Yingtian Mansion, and the underground palace was opened to be buried together with Queen Ma. It was repaired for another fifteen years. In the eleventh year of Yongle, with the "Ming Xiaoling Shen Gong Sheng" The entire Xiaoling Mausoleum is completed only after the completion of the "Morality Monument".
It lasted for more than 30 years, with large scale, majestic buildings and magnificent palaces. Half of the 70 temples in the Southern Dynasties were enclosed in forbidden gardens...
After Zhu Jianshen led the civil and military officials into the Golden Gate, they saw the stele of divine merits and virtues and the stele pavilion.
Zhu Jianshen stopped here and began to visually admire the words on the stele of divine merits and virtues.
This stele was written by Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di himself. It can also be regarded as a son's summary of his father's life...
Look up to the emperor's examination, prepare for the virtues of a great sage, be the luck of Hengjia, accept the destiny of heaven, be in the right place of Xia civilization, lay the foundation for descendants to prosper for billions of generations, let the little son Di respectfully inherit the great cause, and work hard and peacefully, picture The effect is obvious, the thought is overwhelming...
The inscription on the inscription... On September 18, the eleventh year of Yongle, the filial son and heir, Emperor Di Jin, stated.
After Zhu Jianshen read the inscription, he had to bow down. When he was at the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, Zhu Jianshen did not kneel down in front of the officials, but at Xiaoling Mausoleum, he had to kneel down with the civil and military officials.
After saluting, Zhu Jianshen continued to move forward, and this time he finally reached Shinto...
On both sides of the Shinto, there are stone statues on both sides, including civil servants and generals, standing horses, unicorns, elephants, lions and camels. These stone statues are carved from a single piece of stone. They are majestic, sincere, mighty and extraordinary. Zhu Jianshen, who is walking among them, is stunned from time to time. Looking at the dense trees on both sides of the Shinto, I couldn't help but think to myself: "If there is an assassin hidden inside, I will definitely tell him here."
Because the civil and military officials behind him were far away, there was only one priest beside him who was powerless.
Of course, what Zhu Jianshen is worried about will never happen, because the distance of less than a thousand meters from the Shinto to the civil and military square gate is guarded by more than a thousand soldiers. There are more people than trees, but because it is a sacrifice Zu, they can only use trees to hide themselves...
