The sound of horses' hooves of "ticking" and "ticking" sounded at the north gate of the capital, and several horses and two carriages ran directly across the city gate into the city. A young doorman wanted to stop him and ask questions, but was grabbed by an older man: "You don't want to die!" Don't see the royal insignia on the carriage? ”

When the young janitor heard his captain say this, he also remembered that the emblem engraved on the carriage was indeed a royal emblem that he had specially told him to remember before taking office. But he was still unconvinced and said: "It's the royal carriage, and it's nothing if I stop it loyally on duty." ”

The captain snorted coldly and said, "If His Royal Highness King An and King Yong'an are so sensible, or if King Liangxiang is so cautious, there will really be nothing wrong; But if you meet the domineering prince, you will wait for death! His Majesty naturally treats his subordinates kindly, but even if His Majesty knows, he can only reprimand him. ”

When the young doorman saw that he was solemn, he did not dare to speak.

But the captain seemed to think of something again, and said: "No, I was wrong just now, even the prince who is more domineering in the past two days should not dare to directly hit people with his horse, and he will be punished by God." ”

……

……

The next morning, before dawn, there were already many people gathered in the imperial city. Countless people stood at the door of the Bongseon Hall, some were whispering something, but many more did not speak, as if they were afraid of disturbing the shrine in the Bongseon Hall.

Today is the death day of the third anniversary of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, although Yun Xi announced in the first year of Jianye that the time for public filial piety will be shortened to one year, and from then on, all those who are officials and kings can come back to be officials and roll sheets with their wives and concubines one year after the death of their parents, but Yun Xi did not dare to completely deny the significance of the three-year filial piety set by Confucius, so this day is still a very important day.

I don't know how long later, the sky was already bright, and a couple walked over from Miyagi, and everyone who saw the couple bowed and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the Queen Mother." ”

Yun Xi was dressed in plain clothes like them, and he didn't smile, but said calmly: "No need to be polite." ”

Then Yun Xi continued to walk forward, Xi Yao followed him, and the crowd automatically split a road, allowing Yun Xi and his wife to stand in front of the door of the Fengxian Palace. A female official came to Yun Xi's side with Crown Prince Wenyuan in her arms, put him down and retreated. Yun Xi stretched out his hand to grab Wen Yuan and whispered something to him, Wen Yuan stretched out his fleshy little hand to take the sacrifice from the hands of the imperial official, and walked towards the hall under the leadership of the guide officer. Yun Xi and Xi Yao also picked up some items and walked into the Fengxian Palace. The rest of the royal family were divided into several columns according to their seniority, age, gender, and status, and they followed into the hall after Yun Xi.

Princess An Xu Mengyu was the first time to participate in such a solemn royal sacrifice, and although she was very careful, she still looked around curiously. Fengxian Hall is not a very gorgeous palace, and the decoration does not use any expensive materials, she was a little disappointed at first glance, but then she felt a very solemn atmosphere, and secretly said in her heart: "This is what the eldest sister said yesterday, the unique atmosphere in the Fengxian Palace, it is really not ordinary." ’

Then her eyes looked to the front. Wen Yuan put the sacrifice in his hand on a small table with difficulty, and the imperial officer put the small table on the big table, and at the same time Wen Yuan knelt in front of the god seat and said something under the guidance of the guide; Yun Xi and Xi Yao also did something according to the etiquette under the leadership of the guide officer, kneeling in front of the divine seat. Seeing that the three of them knelt down, Xu Mengyu and other descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang also knelt down.

Yun Xi knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's divine throne, looked up at his divine position, and was slightly distracted. It has been three years since he ascended the throne, and in the past three years, he has opened two city divisions, quelled the rebellion in Shandongdong and Zhenbei, sent troops to attack Majapahit, initially established the Nanyang order dominated by the Ming Dynasty, carried out the reform of changing the officials to the police, officially implemented the policy of feudal domains, sent a fleet to explore the north, and actively prepared for war with Timur,......

Yun Xi suddenly found that he had done so many things unconsciously, and many emperors were afraid that they would not do so many reforms in their lifetime. But that's not enough for him!

He has done a lot of things in the past three years, but in addition to dividing the sea and opening overseas, there is nothing particularly important, among which the opening of the sea is still something that Zhu Yuanzhang has determined before his death, and the division has already been tacitly approved by him, and the support of the vast number of royal families and nobles, it is not too difficult to do, and it has not touched the biggest problem of the Ming system.

Next, his reform is about to enter the 'deep water area', and it will touch the core system of the Ming Dynasty. Internal reform has always been more tricky than foreign wars, although Yun Xi is reluctant to fight a war with Timur, but if he fights with Timur, he can avoid internal reform, he would rather fight ten battles with Timur.

And Yun Xi is not sure that his reform is necessarily right. It is true that as long as the emperors of later generations do not have the diligence of Zhu Yuanzhang and his ability, the system of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be maintained forever, but it has been maintained for more than 200 years in history, and the 39 years of the Southern Ming Dynasty are more than 300 years.

Although Yun Xi knows a lot of experience in governing the country in later generations, he may not be suitable for this era. This is different from Kaihai, which was at least proved correct by the Song Dynasty, and the series of reforms in his mind were all in the era when modern nationalism was flourishing, and the country was not only repeatedly invaded, but also culturally influenced by the West, and the general environment was completely different from now.

Yun Xi raised his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's divine position, and said secretly in his heart: "Grandpa, I don't know if you have met the emperors of all dynasties when you have arrived in the underworld, and have you discussed the pros and cons of governing the country with them?" ’

'I wonder if you can meet the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after the 15th and 16th centuries in your grandson's previous life?' If you can see it, you can understand why your grandson wants to reform. ’

"I hope that grandpa's spirit in heaven can bless the success of grandchildren's reforms; The grandson will not act rashly, and will definitely think twice. ……”

Yun Xi said a lot in his heart about Zhu Yuanzhang's divine position, and finally remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's love for him before his death, and heard the cry behind him, and couldn't help crying. As soon as he cried, it was like a signal, and the originally suppressed cry behind him was no longer suppressed, and the people who hadn't been crying also began to howl, and suddenly there was a cry in the Fengxian Palace.

The royal official waited for Yunxi to cry for a while and then persuaded softly. He slowly stopped his crying and proceeded with the final rites; After finishing, Yun Xi led the clan and walked out of the Fengxian Palace.

At this time, the sun was the most dazzling time of the day, he looked up at the brilliant sunshine, and secretly said in his heart: "Grandpa, grandson must make the Ming dynasty more stable than in his previous life." ’
