Huang Sheng, a villager, was poor and had no wife, raised incense, and changed the situation to Huang Yishi, the Huang family was poor, and Huang Yishi went out to work at a very young age. When Huang Yishi grew up, although he was talented, smart and diligent, his family was poor, and marrying a wife was a big problem. After Huang Yishi got married, he was even more diligent and thrifty, and he was good at planning, and his family gradually became richer. Huang Yishi watched the Guo Zhong brothers grow up, and felt that he was illiterate, and his family was already very good, so he asked the teacher to teach the two Guo Zhong brothers. After a hundred years of adoptive father Huang Sheng, he really wanted to use his second son Zhong and Yong to pick up the situation and the Huang family incense, Zhong continued the family incense, and Yong continued the Huang family incense to thank for the grace of nurturing. However, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cheng was revered, and the Ministry of Rites specialized in supervising the ritual system, and Huang Zhong, who was an official of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to restore his ancestral surname was tantamount to ascending to the sky. No one has agreed, most of his life is surnamed Huang, he is about forty years old this year, and he has been tempered by life since he was a child. Bright and studious, upright, self-disciplined, knowledgeable etiquette, and sensitive. At the age of twenty-four, he was selected by the county magistrate Yu Yi as a ceremonial officer. After the expiration of the nine-year term, he was recommended to the Ministry of Rites, and was promised to go to Beijing for the examination as usual. At that time, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was friendly with Yu Yi, and Yu Yi attached great importance to Guo Zhong. Coincidentally, Lu Zhen will be on a northern tour from Zhu Di, and he needs to select subordinates and talk to the situation clock, which is very important.

In the spring of the second year, with his talent and expertise, he was recorded as the director of the Ritual Department of the Six Grades of Rites, and broke the norm and was summoned by Emperor Zhu Di. Since then, Zhong has been more diligent in his duties, and all important ceremonies such as the canonization of concubines, the East Palace, the vassal king, the marriage of the emperor's daughter, and the pilgrimage and tribute have been carried out without omission, and have been appreciated by the court officials. In the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Di toured north again, and Zhong was subordinate to the subordinates. Due to the initial establishment of Beijing, the Siyi tribute, the examination, and the northern expedition were all held in Beijing. Among them, such as the sacrificial proclamation, the celebration of rewards, and the sealing of ceremonies, etc., are all under the responsibility of the ceremonial department, and the time clock is well planned and arranged, and it is deeply appreciated. "In the Ministry of Etiquette, the official fortune has been prosperous since then.

After receiving the news, Guo Zhong did not dare to delay, tidied up his official robe a little, and rushed to the cabinet.

"Humble position, Guo Zhong has seen all your lords?" Guo Zhong has a long figure, a burly appearance, an official robe worn on his body is extremely fit, with his slightly majestic eyes, a kind of majesty arises spontaneously.

"My lord, you're here, quick, please get up?" Yang Rong said busily. For this honest and capable official who has been praised by Zhu Di for 31 times, he sincerely admires it from the bottom of his heart, mixing in the officialdom, it is not difficult to be a corrupt official, it is rare to be an honest and capable clean official, this not only has to remind himself all the time, but also has to deal with the pervasiveness of those corrupt officials all the time, this is the most difficult, so for such a capable and honest official, he is sincerely respectful.

The situation Zhong is not ambiguous, after making a big salute to the four people, he is not in a hurry to ask the four people to find the purpose of their here, as an important member of the Ministry of Rites, he still knows some of the bureaus these days, the problem of officials to welcome the prince, first the six departments discussed who should be sent to welcome the prince back, such a good thing, since everyone squeezed their heads, but when they heard that they were going through Le'an Prefecture, the officials who were still shouting to go were shirked one by one for various reasons, the Ministry of War pushed to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials pushed to the Ministry of Industry, and finally the Ministry of Industry simply pushed to the Ministry of Rites, and the beautiful name said, the Ministry of Rites KaojiIt is used for the five rites of honor, military, guest, and murder, and manages the affairs of the national school and the imperial examination, as well as the affairs of the vassal and foreign countries. Such a major event as welcoming the prince should be an envoy from the Ministry of Rites.

Although Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, entered Taixue as a township, he learned but did not have academics, he was a ceremonial official, he did not know the general situation, and he was also responsible for the three ministries, and there were more chapters, so it was impossible to welcome the prince, so this matter fell to the officials below.

There are many officials in the Ministry of Rites, but when they hear about Le'an Prefecture, no one dares to go, but someone has to send an envoy to do it, so Lord Shangshu decided to let him take on this position, but the cabinet has not been chartered, and he does not dare to act rashly.

"Looking for Lord Guo to come today, I don't think there is much need for the official to say more, and Lord Guo should also know what is going on?" Yang Pu took over the conversation.

Guo Zhong nodded and said, "Do you know about the humble position?"

Yang Pu's temperament is somewhat similar to Guo Zhong, he is sincere, and when he said this, he nodded and said, "Since Lord Guo knows, I don't know about welcoming the prince?"

Guo Zhong didn't wait for Yang Pu to finish speaking, he immediately straightened his body and said heroically: "Don't hide it from your lords, Lord Shangshu named him to take on this matter, and he already felt that this matter had to be done by me!

The four of them looked at each other, their eyes showed joy, Yang Rong felt afraid that he didn't know the danger here, and reminded: "This way to Nanjing, you have to pass through Le'an Prefecture on the way, where is the fief of the King of Han, presumably the adults should also know?"

Guo Zhongdao: "Do you know about your humble duties?"

Yang Rong nodded and said: "What is the mind of the King of Han, there is no need to say more about the official, presumably the adults have also heard about it, you go to Nanjing this time, even if you welcome the prince back to Beijing, you will not be able to escape the catastrophe?"

Although Zhong was in the Ministry of Rites, he had heard of the deeds of the Han King back then, and he was dissatisfied with his brother as the prince, relying on the favor of Emperor Chengzu, and did illegal things many times, before he was demoted to Le'an Prefecture by Emperor Chengzu, but the King of Han was unwilling, and everyone knew about the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one dared to guarantee that this prince would not make a rebellious move.

Le'an Prefecture is relatively close to Beijing, the news of the imperial court is earlier than the prince can know, once the heart is wrong, just send someone to rob and kill the prince in the middle, and then raise troops to seize the throne is not impossible, although this prince is not very good, but the bravery is unparalleled in the world, Le'an Prefecture is located in the east side of the south and north Erjing road, it is easy to rob and kill, and it is not impossible to meet the prince to be killed at this time? But just because of this, don't you go, no, as an official of the imperial court, you should be loyal to the king, and there are some things that you have to do even if you die?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, whether it is life or death, the lowly position will definitely welcome the prince back?"

"Okay! Okay!" Yang Rong said: "If you say this, the official will rest assured, and this matter will be handed over to you?"

He first went to the post station, found a good horse, and then flew on his horse and galloped straight to Fengtianmen.

At this time, the sky is whitening, and the smoke-shrouded Forbidden City once again shows its majestic face, and the layout of the palace buildings in the imperial city in the early years of Yongle unfolds along the central axis to the east and west. The red walls and yellow tiles, the carved beams of the paintings, are splendid. The palace tower, high and low, spectacular and majestic. In the morning and sunset, it is like a fairyland on earth.

The southern half of the city is centered on the three major halls of Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Palace, and the two sides are supplemented by two halls of Wenhua Hall and Wuying Palace, which is the place where the emperor holds a court meeting, called "the former dynasty". The northern half is centered on the three palaces of Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace and the six palaces of the east and west and the imperial garden, there are Fengxian, Huangji and other halls on the east side of it, and there are Yangxin Palace, Yuhua Pavilion, Cining Palace and so on on the west side, which are the residence of the emperor and the concubines, and hold sacrifices and religious activities. The entire Forbidden City is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. Ordinary people don't need to talk about watching the towers and palaces, even if they get closer, it is absolutely not allowed.

The imperial palace where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and their dependents lived, except for the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who served them, only summoned officials and authorized personnel could enter, and it was a place where outsiders could not go beyond the Lei Chi. Therefore, this Ming palace is not only known as the Purple Palace, but also a forbidden place, so it was formerly called the "Forbidden City".

With the solemn Jingyang bell ringing, the three main gates of the Forbidden City's noon gate and the two east-west doors were slowly opened at the same time, and hundreds of guards dressed in golden flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives across their waists quickly rushed out from inside, majestic, and high-spirited, and quickly stood on the left and right of the three flash gates, with a majestic momentum.

At this time, outside the door, there have already been a lot of civil and military officials dressed in Ming Dynasty uniforms, officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers are all piled up with each other, telling each other about the recent major events in the court.

The first major event is that the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and I don't know if those good people said that the emperor was seriously ill this time, because he had a yin disease, so he used medicine indiscriminately, which led to the aggravation of his condition, at first these officials didn't believe it, but these words came out of the mouth of a eunuch in the palace, and later, the eunuch died inexplicably, and the officials who didn't believe it began to believe this rumor, but this is the Forbidden City, and these civil and military generals who are full of poetry and books naturally dare not speculate about the emperor's illness?"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here's an explanation, the situation Zhong is not a surname at this time, it should be the surname Huang, the surname is when he was in Xuande for five years, when he was placed in Suzhou, the emperor rewarded him for his merits, and it was changed, here for the convenience of the narrative, but also for the sake of coherence, so the name of the situation Zhong was used, here is not Xiaojing does not know, for the convenience of the narrative, so please don't scold some book friends, okay, that's all for tonight, after you watch, you can watch the others, let's continue tomorrow, once again explain that the day after tomorrow may be on the train, the update may not be timely, but Xiaojing's commitment will still not change, keep changing, so please rest assured to watch, the update will be sentIt's just a little late or early!
