Since today is the day of the crowning of the crown prince and the canonization ceremony, Zhu Changyuan got up early in the morning.
Staying at the queen's place at night, Zhang Yan naturally did her best to win Zhu Changyuan's happiness.
"Your Majesty, is it too early for the ceremony to start? You don't sleep anymore? Zhang Yan personally fetched a basin of hot water and put it in front of Zhu Changyuan, and said with a gentle face.
Zhu Changyuan looked at the peerless beauty full of motherhood in front of him, and reached out to touch her face. Said with a little sadness: "I don't know when, I will return to modern society, and then never come back, Yan'er, are you willing to go back with me?" ”
The queen listened to Zhu Changyuan's words, and suddenly thought of her parents, her body trembled a little, and she couldn't tell whether she was excited or joyful, and her emotions fluctuated a little.
"You have to think about it, there is still Brother Hong here, if you go back there, you will never see him again." Zhu Changyuan looked at Zhang Yan and said solemnly.
Zhang Yan's face hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and said: "Brother Hong'er has grown up by himself, and he will have his own princess and queen in the future, and he will have his own life, of course I will go back with my husband." It's just that I'm worried about what if I go back to the modern world and become smaller again? ”
Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In fact, he knew that Zhang Yan cared more about her than Zhu Cihong, but he was never sure, if Zhang Yan chose to stay with Zhu Cihong just now, he really didn't mind arranging someone to kill Zhu Cihong at the ceremony!
"What are you afraid of, if you go back to the way you were when you were seven years old, I can wait for you!" Zhu Changyuan smiled and hugged Zhang Yan into his arms and said.
Zhang Yannunu mouthed and said, "You think well, isn't it when I'm older, you old cow can still eat tender grass?" ”
Zhu Changyuan said: "Look at it." How can I say that my heart of ice is so dirty! ”
Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it slowly turned into large snow flakes, and the ground was covered with a layer of silvery white.
Cao Huachun entered Kunning Palace and reported outside the main hall. said: "Minister Cao Huachun reported to His Majesty, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites plan to postpone the crowning and canonization ceremony of the imperial grandson on the grounds of bad weather, I don't know if it is possible!" ”
"No!" Zhu Changyuan decisively refused.
He didn't know that this was a trick played by the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites. I tried to hope that the night would be long and dreamy, and I hoped that the imperial grandson Zhu Cihong would have an accident, after all, once Zhu Cihong became the imperial grandson, it would be irreversible.
Cao Huachun bowed down and said, "Obey!" After that, he went back to the cabinet.
Zhu Changyuan came out of the inner hall, and before he washed up, he took out a thick piece of thick rice from it, handed it to the two little eunuchs of Kunning Palace, and said, "Take it and send it to Cao Gong, he is not in good health!" ”
The queen came out of it. said: "You are very good to your subordinates!" ”
Zhu Changyuan Tian was shameless and said: "I am not good to anyone, I will not kill Zhu Cihong and make him the emperor's grandson, I will treat the people of the world preferentially, and I would rather buy the land of the people of the world out of my own pocket and distribute it to them." ”
"If there is anyone else who is secretly scolding me, I'm afraid there are only those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and the kings of foreign countries."
The queen brought hot water, took a yellow silk scarf to wash Zhu Changyuan's face personally, and then waited for him to rinse his mouth.
After Zhu Changyuan finished tidying up, he put on a thick dress again, and outside Concubine Chen, the county lord of Xiaohe, and Xingzi, who had just been named the concubine of Dongying, all came in full costume. Early in the morning, he greeted Zhu Changyuan.
Zhu Changyuan asked all the women to get up and asked, "What about Brother Hong?" Haven't woken up yet? ”
The queen said: "I got up early, and I was very excited when I heard that I was going to be crowned today, so I ran over to see my new crown." ”
Zhu Changyuan nodded.
When the time comes.
The eunuch and the palace maid divided into two teams to lead Zhu Cihong and Zhu Changyuan out of the palace gate respectively. Walk towards the Jianji Hall in the outer palace to the south.
The three major halls of the outer palace are respectively said to be the Emperor's Palace, the Middle Pole Hall and the Jianji Palace.
Among them, the Huangji Hall performs the sacrificial ceremony, the canonization ceremony, and the middle pole hall is specially used for drills and rest. As for the last Jianji Palace, it has a similar role to the Huangji Palace, and it can also be canonized. Of course, it was also a place to entertain foreign envoys and courtiers for state banquets.
Zhu Changyuan's royal approval, the crown crown ceremony of the crown prince Zhu Cihong was held in the Jianji Palace, and the canonization ceremony was held in the Huangji Palace.
In fact, it stands to reason that the imperial grandson Zhu Cihong is only thirteen and a half years old now, even if he is calculated according to the imaginary age, he is only fifteen years old, and there is still a year before he is crowned.
However, in order to make the ceremony grand, Zhu Changyuan specially arranged for someone to crown him in advance.
"Woo~~"
The horn sounded, and then, the bell resonated, and the familiar Dankun music played again.
Zhu Changyuan personally took Zhu Cihong and walked across the red carpet in the middle of the front steps of the Imperial Palace, passed through the palace gate, and then turned his head.
The civil and military officials under the steps knelt down neatly at the same time, and the mountain shouted long live!
Although it was not the first time to experience such a big ceremony, Zhu Changyuan was still deeply touched when he saw this scene. The Chinese gift is solemn and has its own majesty!
"Zhu Qing is flat!"
The hundred officials all stood up one by one, and walked up to the main hall with Zhu Changyuan on both sides.
Zhu Changyuan took Zhu Cihong to the top of the main hall.
The ceremonial officer shouted: "The emperor and grandson are crowned!" ”
Then, a little eunuch hurriedly came in from the side hall, holding a tray in his hand, his body was clearly very straight, but his waist was bent, and he lifted it lightly when he walked, as if the little leather was powerful, and he used all his strength to move.
And, when he walked to the few steps, he walked up one step at a time.
The so-called parallel foot means that when going up the steps, you can't go up one step at a time, but once the front foot goes up a step, the back foot should follow the step and keep your feet together, and then go up the next step, which looks solemn.
There is a saying in "The Book of Rites": If you lift lightly, the wheels will drag your heels, and you will step more than once!
The eunuch handed the crown to Cao Huachun, who was beside Zhu Changyuan, and Cao Huachun put the tray on the table, picked up the hat and respectfully handed it to Zhu Changyuan.
Zhu Changyuan nodded, and said to Zhu Cihong: "From today, the emperor and grandson will be an adult, and they can be crowned!" ”
Stretched the leather cloth apart with both hands, and easily crowned it on Zhu Cihong's head.
Zhu Cihong was moved in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Changyuan!
Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly.
The courtiers below knelt down at the same time: "Meet Your Majesty, Meet Your Highness!" ”
The ceremonial officer shouted: "After the coronation ceremony, the hundred officials are flat!" ”
Zhu Changyuan, under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, walked towards the Imperial Palace again.
The light snow has been falling for several hours, and the ground outside is not only white like white marble, but also accumulates a thin layer, and people walk up, slightly slippery.
Zhu Changyuan pulled Zhu Cihong and walked slowly towards the Imperial Palace.
The sky and the earth are vast, and the huge palace in the distance can only see a faint shadow in the north wind and snow.
After passing through the steps, Zhu Changyuan first came to the Imperial Palace through His Majesty, and then, the eunuch Cao Huachun recited the edict of the emperor's grandson.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, the edict said: I swept the world, annexed the princes, since the accession to the throne, all the military and administrative affairs, not to be tired, dare not be self-indulgent. Xu Yinghong continued, and he was conscientious all night. Zhu Cihong, the eldest grandson of the emperor, virtuous and accessible, belongs to the will of heaven, and hereby submits to public opinion, and respectfully tells heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji, to grant the treasure, and set up as the emperor's grandson, and is in the East Palace, with the unification of ten thousand years, and the heart of the four seas. Chin this! December 23rd of the first year of Daming Taizheng! ”
"Emperor Xie Grandfather Longen!" Zhu Cihong knelt down at the bottom of the steps, kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Changyuan, then got up, walked up from His Majesty, and when he walked to the top, Zhu Changyuan held a Jiuhan leather ben in his hand, removed the crown that was originally added to Zhu Cihong's head, and put the Jiuhan leather ben on his head, smiled, and said: "Brother Hong'er, from today onwards, you will be the emperor's grandson." ”
Zhu Cihong bowed solemnly and saluted Zhu Changyuan.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he saw a black hole with the muzzle of a gun, facing Zhu Changyuan at the back of the main hall.
If it weren't for Zhu Cihong kneeling and kowtowing, he really couldn't see the muzzle.
"Official, run!" Zhu Cihong watched the muzzle of the gun rise little by little, slowly raised it, hurriedly shouted, and then pushed Zhu Changyuan with his hand.
With Zhu Changyuan's kung fu, it was really difficult for Zhu Cihong to push him.
However, at this moment, Zhu Changyuan, after Zhu Cihong's reminder, suddenly felt a murderous aura in the back of his head, so just his body pushed back with Zhu Cihong's thrust.
At the same time, he heard a low "Poof! Then, the face of the imperial grandson Zhu Cihong in front of him was distorted, and a mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth.
Then, Zhu Cihong's body began to fall to the ground slowly, and the blood on his chest bloomed in an instant, getting bigger and bigger on his yellow clothes.
"Brother Hong!" Zhang Yan, who was standing below with a happy smile, suddenly let out a heart-rending cry, ran towards the steps, ran two steps and found that the dress on her body was too obstructive, and she tripped to the ground.
rolled around on the ground, and fainted with black eyes.
Zhu Changyuan's eyes fluttered, and he suddenly turned his head to look back, and saw that a person was standing up and wanted to escape.
Where can Zhu Changyuan let him run, he was about to be arrested with an arrow step, but as soon as he caught it, he found that the person had died of anger.
Next to the assassin lay a swarthy AK47, glowing with a cold glow.
It was the gun he had tried to find before, but couldn't find it, and there was still a bullet left!
"Doctor, doctor!"
There was a lot of chaos at the scene, a complete mess.
Zhu Changyuan hurriedly took out a skill book that was beneficial to the body from the system and photographed it for Zhu Cihong, but he didn't see any improvement in him.
"Quick, send to the hospital, send to the hospital!"
Zhu Changyuan hugged Zhu Cihong, his body flew up, and he didn't care about Zhang Yan, he sent Zhu Cihong to the hospital as soon as possible and entered the emergency room of Jingshi Baohetang. (To be continued.) )xh:.
