In Zhang Rui's view, the reason why Zhu Dachang asked to stand in front was just thinking that worshipping the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum could be blessed by the Ming Dynasty emperor. Since Guan Renli, who is the head of the Ministry of Rites, said that he is not suitable to stand in front, I think Zhu Dachang will not force it anymore, so as not to be blessed and hold bad luck.

"Newspaper, King Han. Outside the camp, an official of the Ministry of Etiquette asked to see him. Just when Zhang Rui wanted to ask Zhu Dachang's opinion, he saw the guards outside the camp tent come in and spread the report.

"Pass it in!" Zhang Rui replied.

"Yes, King Han." The guard replied and went out.

“… I've finished the inspection, so please come in..."

"Okay, thanks..."

After a faint conversation outside the door, I saw a man in official uniform enter through the door.

"Wang Jingzhong, the priest of the Weichen Rite Department, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han." The person who came in bowed to Zhang Rui, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Aiqing is flat, I don't know what Aiqing is talking about?" Zhang Rui looked at the respectful official below and asked in a harmonious voice.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Han. Back to His Royal Highness the King of Han, the time to worship auspicious has arrived, and Weichen came to tell the King of Han that it was time to go to the mausoleum for worship ceremonies. Wang Jingzhong said and bowed down again.

"Okay, in that case, let's all go over together!" Zhang Rui stood up from his seat and said.

"Obey the order..."Everyone who sat down stood up from their seats one after another and bowed to Zhang Rui.

Zhu Dachang looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but when he saw that everyone was saying this, he had no choice but to answer along with everyone's words.

A group of people came to the outside of the Ming Tomb. At this time, the sound of drumming was already resounding in the sky. The officials of the Ministry of Rites have also prepared the incense, blessings, animals, silk and other items used in the mausoleum sacrifice.

This worship was different from the haste when the bandit army had just captured the city of Nanjing, and everything was carried out according to the scale of the royal mausoleum sacrifice.

Because Zhang Rui attached great importance to this worship, important officials at all levels also attended, so as not to leave a bad reputation in front of the new emperor of the new court.

Under the guidance of Guan Renli, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Rui was slowly approaching the Ming Xiao Mausoleum.

Since he crossed here, suffered from all kinds of hardships and hardships, and came step by step to the present with the unknown of the future, Zhang Rui has a lot of suffering in his heart but can't talk to anyone.

The same is to drive out the Tartars, for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Rui respects him from the heart. Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded, but can he succeed? Zhang Rui didn't dare to tell others about the worries in his heart, so he could only carry them silently by himself.

After all, the uprising is just a game and a game, and you can stop it. Now that the lives of tens of millions of people are tied to their own bodies, if they make a big mistake in their decisions, it will be a cruel catastrophe for the people under their rule.

After experiencing the same situation, Zhang Rui understood Zhu Yuanzhang's greatness. is also poor and white, and he has hundreds of years of knowledge and modern education compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang is a real cattle herder.

The mausoleum is in front, Zhang Rui is approaching step by step, and at this moment it can be seen that the furnishings of the sacrifices on each case are fixed.

On the emperor's main case, there are three jue, one tea, two soups, two rice, four vegetables, one roasted meat, one roasted liver, one meat bone, one oil cake, one jiaoer, one chestnut, one jujube, one round eye, one lychee, one walnut, two steamed buns, one mutton, two pig meat, one juice pot, and one wine jug. In addition to the sacrificial offerings displayed on the queen's case, except for the teapot without a wine jug, the rest is the same as the emperor's case.

In addition, before the emperor and queen's case, there was also a total of one ox (calf), one sheep, and one pig, and then the emperor and queen were placed in front of each section of the silk, and the silk was set up in front of the incense and candle.

On the left side, there is a bottle table for wine bottles, and on the right side, there is a toast table for the toast version. Write a congratulatory message on the video board. The congratulatory text consists of two parts: the beginning and the main text. The first part must prepare the temple name and the title of the heir of the emperor.

The officials who arrived were also in place one by one, lined up on both sides and waited for Zhang Rui to start the ceremony.

"The sacrifice begins, please come forward," Wang Jingzhong on the side shouted.

Listening to Wang Jingzhong's shouting, Zhang Rui naturally stood in front of the desk. At this time, he saw Zhu Dachang following Zhang Rui.

"Lord Guozhang... Old Guozhang, please go to some of the stations below..."Guan Renli, who noticed Zhu Dachang's unusual behavior, lowered his voice and reminded kindly.

"Dad, what are you doing! Come down here..."Zhu Yizhang called helplessly.

When the other officials heard this, they all looked up at Zhu Dachang. There are blame and disgust in his eyes, there are also strange, and there are even those who laugh at him for being an old country man who is ignorant.

Many officials even looked at Guan Renli, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and some blamed him for not explaining the matter to this "old man in the country" in advance, and let him make jokes here.

Wang Jingzhong didn't dare to continue shouting when he saw such a situation happening, and after a moment of silence, under the "blazing" gaze of hundreds of officials, Zhu Dachang turned around a little embarrassed and wanted to retreat.

At this moment, I heard Zhang Rui behind him say: "If grandpa really wants to stand in front, follow me in front!" With me here, I believe that Emperor Ming Taizu will not blame my grandfather for his respect. ”

"yes, you're there." Zhu Dachang was moved when he heard Zhang Rui's words, and muttered Zhang Rui's words in his mouth.

Zhu Dachang's "shy" and frightened mood under the gaze of hundreds of officials suddenly calmed down. Indeed, having Zhang Rui's nephew is his greatest pride. Maybe he has a lot of things to face next, but Zhu Dachang feels that he should face it, whether it is for himself, for this nephew or even the whole world.

I saw that Zhu Dachang's body that was about to turn around just now turned back again, facing Zhang Rui with his back to Baiguan.

"Lord Wang Jingzhong..."Zhu Dachang struggled a little in his heart, but he still opened his mouth and said to Wang Jingzhong, who was watching him from the side.

"Do you have any instructions for the old lord to call the lower officials?" Wang Jingzhong didn't understand why Zhu Dachang suddenly called himself, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, especially in front of Zhang Rui. So, he replied with both hands to Zhu Dachang.

"When reciting the name of the chief priest for a while, please add the quota of Zhu Dachang, the seventeenth grandson of Emperor Taizu, after reciting the name of King Han, thank you!"

Zhu Dachang looked nervous when he spoke, he didn't know what situation or disaster he was going to face next. But Zhu Dachang still clenched his fists and said it clearly and firmly.

Because Zhu Dachang understands that saying this may be a "disaster" for his family, but it has many benefits for Zhang Rui.

And what Zhang Rui is lacking now is a background that can calm people.
