The Emperor's Speech

Zhu Jianshen stood on the altar, and behind him was a rising red sun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The morning breeze blew gently and blew the golden silk with the sacrificial inscription in his hand.

He looked at the princely Wenwu under a few platforms, and felt that his chest was about to burst open.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at him, and the stares cast at him variously ranged. Under the seemingly respectful gaze, who knows what kind of thoughts are hidden.

The ministers felt his pause and uneasiness, and after staring slightly, their eyes drifted a little.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen gagged his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Then, a number of forcible deferences dissipated and turned into disappointment, banter, or indifference.

This scene was as they expected.

"Bastard, have you forgotten what you told you these days! Don't look at them, look at me, look at me! Yue Zhang felt the actions of everyone on the field and Zhu Jianshen, and his heart was anxious.

After all, I still can't hide, I'm really afraid of something. This hurdle can't be overcome, and for Zhu Jianshen's treatment for such a long time, even if the previous efforts have been lost.

His obstacle comes from his heart, and the more he cares, the more he is afraid, which adds to his demonic obstacles.

The process that had been agreed upon was chaotic in Zhu Jianshen's already slightly flustered eyes and movements.

Don't give up! Get over them! Have you forgotten what I told you?

You are the master of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the only supreme in the four seas.

You're just talking a bunch of now, and they have to take it for life, don't be stunned. Don't let your efforts go to naught in questioning!

For the sake of a sacrificial speech, you forgot to sleep and eat for many days.

In order to be a good king, you try to correct your shortcomings.

You can, you can do it!

As if attracted by Yue Zhang's hot gaze, Zhu Jianshen finally focused his attention on him.

Seeing Yue Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground under the altar, stood up and looked at him, Zhu Jianshen instantly felt the heat and trust.

Every bit of these days came to his heart.

If that doesn't work, if it doesn't work, then what else can I rely on? In which direction can you still work towards!?

Fortunately, there is still someone in the field who trusts me and supports me.

He said before - my enemy, I am!

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen's attention was already focused on himself, and the panic in his eyes gradually receded.

Yue Zhang nodded to him, indicating that he could start.

Zhu Jian took a deep breath and rolled up the golden silk in his hand. - This thing, he has already imprinted in his heart, and there is no need to look at it anymore.

After seeing Zhu Jianshen's response, Yue Zhang lowered his head down.

Zhu Jianshen's frustrated voice was centered on the altar and passed forward: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been ordered by Tianming to succeed the ..." is not good, it is high! He looked at Yue Zhang nervously, the latter made a slightly calm look, shook his head rhythmically, and following this rhythm, Zhu Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief, and imperceptibly connected the pause.

"The Tao is unified and the new rule is new. The sages started from the generation, and they came one after another, leaving merit to carry the book, and shining like the sun and stars. I inherit the blessing, make all directions, pious cultivation of the rituals, and use the lyrics to do the devotion! Looking up to Mingling, Jianzi is sincere! ”

At the beginning of the sentence, Zhu Jianshen still had some pauses and fluctuations. But later, he actually integrated his pride into it, and every word and sentence he said seemed to have a sonorous metal.

The ministers were stunned.

This is our emperor Zhu Jianshen? Where did this impassioned prayer come from his mouth?

Oh my God, this is unbelievable!

The most shocking were the three scholars of the Feishu Cabinet, who were the courtiers who dealt with Zhu Jianshen the most. Looking at Zhu Jianshen's excitement and frustration on the machine, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

It is said that the founding monarch occupies all the days, and the descendants often become weaker and weaker. Since the first emperor Zhu Qizhen Tumubao and later the battle for the throne, the Ming Dynasty has had a boom and fall atmosphere.

In Zhu Jianshen's generation, secretly, some people thought that Daming would turn into decay in his dynasty.

But at this moment, they no longer dare to underestimate it, and they no longer dare to be indiscriminately compassionate.

Standing on the altar at this time, under the red sun, is definitely an emperor who swallows mountains and rivers.

At this time, the ministers had already forgotten about the matter of sacrificing to the heavens, and had already ignored the process of the sacrifice and the rule that it was not allowed to make noise without permission.

All the ministers bowed down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Zhu Jianshen was trembling with excitement at the moment, and after reciting the sacrificial words, his heart could no longer hide the surging.

Looking at the ministers who touched the ground with their foreheads under their feet and kept chanting long live, his eyes gradually blurred.

I did it! I did it!

With just one glance, he found Yue Zhang in the crowd. He was the only courtier who didn't bow down.

The two looked at each other, their eyes exuding joy and excitement.

This glory belongs to the emperor.

In Zhu Jianshen's eyes, this glory is half that of Yue Zhang.

At the end of the sacrifice, according to the custom, the livestock and meals used after the sacrifice were to be rewarded by the emperor to the ministers.

But people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the meat has three different layers. How to divide things is definitely particular.

The head of the three animals used for sacrifice was given to the lord and the minister as usual. Three pairs of ox ears were to be distributed among the three cabinet scholars.

It's an unwritten rule.

As stated in "Zhou Li", praise the cow's ears and peaches. During the Zhou Dynasty, the princes would meet and cut the ears of the ox to take blood and put it on a plate.

Since then, the ox ear has symbolized the leader.

Shang Chen, Peng Shi and Liu Dingzhi, the three of them, were waiting for the emperor's reward with a face like water. Although they are not rare for those few pieces of meat, the political code represented here is something they cannot give up.

However, Zhu Jianshen, who was excited, waved his hand and specially explained to the main dedication officer, and gave Niu Er to Yue Zhang, the newly promoted Xuanwu general.

The main dedicator's heart shook wildly, and at that moment, he thought a lot.

Who is this General Yue, why have you never heard of it? Ministers can't get such a favor.

Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the cabinet, and there must be a change in the court?

However, the main dedication official was only temporarily brought over by the Ministry of Rites, and whether it was grade or seniority, these things were not something he could worry about.

So he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and went down to pass on his life.

I only heard the main dedication official return from His Majesty Zhu Jianshen Dan, and said with a strange face: "The newly promoted Xuanwu General Yue Zhang, step forward to receive the three deputies of the royal cow's first ear!" ”

Wow!

The ministers exploded.

After an exclamation, many people immediately asked left and right, who is this Yue Zhang? This name is too raw, and I have never heard of such a number one person for so many years.

After a commotion, the ministers stared wide-eyed, and no one knew who this person was.

There are those who are not giving up and are still asking around, and there are those who are still struggling to think about the breadth of knowledge.

Nothing came of it without surprise.

For a while, everyone felt that this person had jumped out of a crack in the stone?

Yue Zhang, who was standing in a group of generals, still wondered, what is delicious about cow ears? Is it worth broadcasting all over the venue?

However, after everyone was in an uproar and saw the surprised look of Sangong standing at the front of the line, he also vaguely felt a little bad.

So he didn't rush forward to receive the reward, but hid in the crowd and quietly observed.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and a group of military generals heard that the cow ears were going to be given to the generals this time, and they were immediately excited.

This group of veterans who are often in the army don't care so much, they only know that this honor has not fallen on our warriors since ancient times.

It doesn't matter if it's for yourself or not, as long as this person is a martial artist, he has put gold on his face and stained it!

I didn't care about any manners for a while, I rummaged through my team, saw an acquaintance pulled aside, and asked if it was called Yue Zhang.

Looking at that posture, it's like grabbing a son-in-law on the street.

There are also good believers among the ministers who participate.

The team has been broken up, and there is no longer any order at this point. There are military generals among the ministers, and there are princes among the generals.

At this time, Yue Zhang was hiding outside the crowd with his neck bent, and after a while, Yongning Xuanyong was also squeezed out.

He stroked the Jinxian crown on his head in embarrassment, and the red tassels on it were squeezed crookedly. The robe of the dress was full of footprints, and the jade belt was also torn loose.

Seeing Yue Zhang, who was hiding outside the crowd, he smiled awkwardly.

After tidying up his clothes a little, he saw Yue Zhang wearing a dark robe representing a military general, and frowned slightly when he saw that he was so young.

Whose descendants are this? Being a four-rank general at such a young age?

Could it be after which Guogong?

He believed that his memory was still good, and after thinking about it for a while, he was sure that he did not have such a teenager in his impression.

Confused, he clenched his fists slightly and smiled heartily: "Haha, it's too crowded inside." It's better to be lighter and wider here. Don't know what to do? ”

Yue Zhang naturally didn't know his identity, but looking at the Jin Xian crown shaking the red tassel, he also knew that the other party's identity was definitely not low.

But looking at his kindness, plus there is no one else around.

He twisted a little, twisted his body and hugged his fists and said, "Under the ...... General Xuanwu, Yue Zhang. ”
