Since the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Yun Xi has not been able to take care of other things, even if Hua Ying and others have come to the capital, he can't take care of it, because he has to be busy worshiping heaven and earth, following his ancestors, and a series of other ceremonial things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In ancient times, etiquette was very important and should not be sloppy. And this is the first time Yun Xi has personally participated in this matter, and he can't be sloppy.

Yunxi began to be alone on the thirteenth day of the first month, bathed every day, and fasted, waiting for the worship of heaven and earth on the sixteenth day of the first month.

Although Xiyao does not participate in the sacrifice as the queen, she also has to accompany her to the temple to worship her ancestors, and after the ancestor worship is completed, she can be regarded as the official queen of the Ming Dynasty, and she can officially crown the queen, so she is more nervous than Yunxi, and handed over all the things in the palace to Xiyi, and she has also fasted every day since the thirteenth day of the first month, bathing, and ignoring foreign affairs.

On the right day, Yun Xitian went to the southern suburbs with all the officials to worship the sky when it was still dark. When Yun Xi came out of the palace in a car, it was not yet dawn. The group was escorted by the Beijing Guard, all the way to the round mound in the southern suburbs.

Although Yun Xi himself is skeptical about the affairs of gods and ghosts, he also feels that it is useless to worship the heavens. In fact, it is estimated that the emperors of the past dynasties only paid great attention to the sacrifice to the heavens verbally, although they did not dare to say that they did not attach importance to it in private, but in other words, they did not think that this was related to the survival of the country.

Anyway, Yunxi himself still attaches great importance to worshipping ancestors, but it's just like that for worshipping the sky.

But there is still work to be done on the surface. Yunxi arrived at the place, and according to the rules, under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites and the officials of Taichang Temple, he worshiped the heavens, and kowtowed respectfully several times.

There is a big difference between this year's Yunxi sacrifice to the sky and Zhu Yuanzhang's sacrifice to the sky in previous years, that is, the person who was enshrined when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, that is, the person who can enjoy similar treatment to the 'sky' is Zhu Yuanzhang's deceased father, Emperor Renzuchun Zhu Wusi, and the person who can be enshrined in Yunxi's sacrifice to the sky this time is Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizuwu of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this is also a convention, generally only the dead can be enshrined in heaven and earth, and the general dynasty is to be enshrined in the founding emperor; Zhu Yuanzhang himself is the founding emperor, and he can only worship his father.

And according to the rules of the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, only one person can be enshrined, and in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know which person explained it, and the heaven and earth are divided into two, so two people are enshrined; Later, in the Song Dynasty, there was a matter of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, and they also followed the system of the Tang Dynasty to worship the two.

When he arrived in Yunxi, because he was known as retro, he followed the ancient rites of the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and could only be dedicated to one person, so he could only invite Zhu Wusi down and send Zhu Yuanzhang up.

After the sacrifice was completed in the southern suburbs, Yun Xi returned to the palace. The next day, he had to go to the northern suburbs to worship the ground. Yunxi didn't want to be said to be discordant with the rules, so he didn't do it together in the southern suburbs like Zhu Yunxi did in history, and he had to go back.

When he came back from the northern suburbs the next day, Yun Xi himself was actually fine, but the accompanying subordinates and officials were tired like something, anyway, when Yun Xi asked Lian Zining later, Lian Zining replied: "Of course, it is the glory of the courtiers to follow Your Majesty to worship heaven and earth, but I really can't stand it for two days in a row, and I can't get up from bed when I get home the next day, and I just rest for another day." ”

But Yun Xi's matter is not over, because he still has to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors.

The matter of worshipping ancestors has nothing to do with most officials, and because Yunxi does not need to go to court to worship ancestors, people who happen to be tired have rested at home for a day.

However, the people of the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple are still busy as always.

On the morning of this day, because the Taimiao Temple is in the imperial city, there is no need to walk far, so Yunxi does not have to get up very early like worshipping heaven and earth, and just arrive at the Taimiao at almost dawn.

In the Taimiao Temple, the ancestor worship is with Xi Yao, the meaning is not only to let the ancestors know that the head of the Zhu family has changed, but also to let the ancestors know that the family has married a daughter-in-law, and know what the daughter-in-law is like and what it is called.

Wenyuan is still too young now, otherwise as the next crown prince, he would have to come to worship his ancestors together.

None of the other people Yunxi had seen it, so he was mainly staring at Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet that had just been put on the table last year.

Yun Xi and Zhu Yuanzhang are still very affectionate, after all, they have been teaching in person for six years, so Yun Xi couldn't stop crying when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet. Xiyao didn't know if she also had a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, or if she was with Yunxi, but she cried anyway.

Then, under the persuasion of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they stopped their tears and worshiped their ancestors according to the process. focuses on how Yun Xi governs the country, as well as Xi Yao's identity. Another important point is that Wenyuan is in good health, and there is nothing bad about it.

Yun Xi actually had something to say to Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet, but he couldn't say it to anyone else, he only felt that it was good to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang, even if it was just a tablet, he felt at ease. But with so many people present, it's hard to say, so I can only wait for the time when I can come to the Taimiao Temple alone in the future.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Yun Xi added a large list of Zhu Yuanzhang's titles, which were all written by the civil officials of the Ministry of Rites anyway, and Yun Xi let his cronies make sure that there were no bad or inappropriate words and agreed.

In fact, Yun Xi thought about it later, and there was no need for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to be laxity in this kind of thing, otherwise they would eat their own good fruits. Civil officials who are dissatisfied with a certain emperor will add a little condiment to it privately when compiling the actual record. Fortunately, Yun Xi's "Taizu Record" was compiled by Chen Xingshan and Xie Jin, and he is quite reliable, otherwise he would be very worried.

After that, it's time to posthumously seal or canonize. Regarding canonization, Yun Xi officially canonized Xi Yao as the empress on an auspicious day of the zodiac in February, and his eldest son Wen Yuan as the crown prince.

In fact, Yun Xi is not very happy to canonize the crown prince at such a young age, if, that is, what if, what if Wenyuan can't do it? Didn't Yun Hee lose his choice? Of course, even if Wenyuan really didn't succeed, he was not made the crown prince, and Yun Xi wanted to make other sons the crown prince, even if it was also a concubine, I am afraid it would be very difficult.

The inheritance law of the elder is an important part of the ancient rites of the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and it is also something that Zhu Yuanzhang has been insisting on.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang named Wenyuan before he died, and he was seriously ill until Wenyuan was born, and the meaning is even more different. Therefore, Yun Xi could only canonize Wenyuan as the crown prince immediately.

This is all an undisputed matter. But when it was the turn of Zhu Biao, Yunxi's father, to be the emperor, Yunxi proposed a temple name that surprised all civil officials.
