Zhu Jianyan stood in the corner of the conference room of the Wenhua Palace, looked at the people who came in around him, and whispered to Zhu Jingyuan beside him.

It mainly explains the identity and origin of these people, as well as the interest groups they may represent, which can be regarded as giving children an insight.

Because it was an emergency meeting, the people who received the notice did not dare to delay, and it didn't take long for all of them to arrive.

The clan, the cabinet, the military aircraft, the foreign dynasty, the imperial merchants, the five important components of the empire are all there, and a total of more than 20 people came.

Everyone waited for a while, and the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang, who had a white beard, walked out of the apse slowly with the support of two entourages.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?"

The waiting princes and ministers did not look at the emperor's situation, and collectively instinctively bowed and saluted.

The highest etiquette in the early Ming Dynasty was "five bows and three kowtows", and "worship" was not just a simple kneeling and kowtowing, but also had rhythms and requirements for the whole process.

The Qing Dynasty simplified the movements, using a simple combination of kneeling and kowtowing, coupled with the rhythm of banging the head, to replace the complicated Jishou worship etiquette in the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are a total of nine heads in three kneels and nine kowtows, it is not as complex as the eight heads of five bows and three kowtows, and it is easier to learn and can show sincerity more intuitively.

However, the three kneeling and nine knocking of the Qing Dynasty were used whenever the emperor saw him, so that kowtowing became a habit of the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers were jokingly called kowtow worms.

The five bows and three kowtows of the Ming Dynasty were only used by the Great Dynasty and the Sacrifice Genius after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

"On the day of the New Year's Day, the emperor is on top, and the officials of the court bow three times, and the rest of the people stand outside the Fengtian Gate in order, performing five bows and three kowtows."

After five bows and three kowtows have become a "big gift", it is usually "not a big ceremony, no need to kneel and worship".

After the revival of Renwu, the general kneeling etiquette was directly abolished, and everyone usually bowed their hands.

When subordinates see their superiors, including the emperor, they just bow their heads slightly while bowing their hands, which is simpler than the Western royal etiquette of the same era.

Only when it is time to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, the emperor will take his ministers to kneel together, or a cumbersome ceremony of five bows and three kowtows.

Zhu Jingyuan also instinctively bowed down to say hello with everyone, and then heard a low cough:

"Ahem...... ...... Let's all sit down. ”

The other party's state seemed to be very bad, Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously looked up at the old emperor, but was startled, and subconsciously shouted:

"Grandpa...... Your hair...... What's wrong with you......"

Zhu Jingyuan was born in the royal family, there are already a large number of uncles and brothers, and Zhu Jingyuan is still in school, so he usually does not have the opportunity to see the emperor often.

But the Chinese New Year is always seen once, and now it has only been a little more than a month after the New Year.

Zhu Jingyuan remembered that during the Chinese New Year, his grandfather's hair was still black and white, and his body seemed to be relatively tough, and he didn't need to be supported by anyone when he walked.

Now I haven't seen him for a month, my hair is suddenly all white, and my face is very bleak, as if I can't stand steadily.

After the shock, Zhu Jingyuan quickly reacted.

My father is going to sign a contract, and he is worried about the infamy of losing his land and seeking peace, and the old emperor also has to worry about it!

Moreover, no matter which official goes to sign the contract, the emperor must finally approve it when he returns, and the hat of losing land and seeking peace will eventually be worn on the emperor's head.

After 30 years of painstaking struggle, he tried to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty again, but not only did he not gain an inch of land, but the public resentment boiled, and the vassal country was in danger.

After more than 30 years of diligent governance, it finally ended in a bleak ending in the loss of land and peace, and the old emperor's mood can be imagined.

When the old emperor heard Zhu Jingyuan's voice, his cloudy eyes moved slightly, and he asked a little blankly:

"Are you...... Whose children? What are you doing in the main hall? ”

Regarding the fact that his grandfather didn't know him, Zhu Jingyuan didn't have any surprises.

He has more than 20 sons in his old age, and the number of his own grandchildren may have exceeded 100, and his father is not favored in the first place, so it is normal for him not to know himself.

The emperor directly asked who his grandson was, which is a very normal thing in a big family, and Zhu Jingyuan hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"Tell the emperor's grandfather, the father and the emperor's second son, the first and the second, the current Honglu Temple.

"Sun Chen Jingyuan, who has turned fifteen years old this year, is attending the imperial meeting with his father today."

The old emperor's head moved slightly, as if remembering where this child came from, and waved his hand after a short silence:

"The boy of the second family...... Go home, here today...... It's none of your business.

"If you want to do something...... Go back and find your ninth uncle...... Arrange ......"

Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jianyan and his son, as well as other princes and ministers at the scene, all instantly understood what the old emperor meant.

Zhu Zhongliang should think that in the current situation, it is very good for Zhu Jingyuan to come out and do things, but he doesn't want him to brush up on today's resume.

and signaled to the ninth son of the emperor who stayed at the scene, that is, the heir who had been booked in his heart, to arrange a better errand for Zhu Jingyuan in the future.

"Erchen wrote it down."

Zhu Jianfeng, the ninth son of the emperor, bowed down and agreed, and then turned to his nephew Zhu Jingyuan and said:

"Jingyuan, you go home first, and I'll ask someone to find you when I turn around."

Zhu Jingyuan was suddenly a little stunned, and the development of things was unexpected.

Zhu Jingyuan's idea was to observe and wait first, wait for the discussion between the emperor and the ministers to end, and wait for them to determine the direction and plan of the peace talks.

In the end, when the emperor arranges the person in charge of the negotiation, and when his father Zhu Jianyan is not allowed to take the task, he can stand up and take over the task for his father.

As a result, now, he lost his temper because he saw the appearance of the old emperor, and then he was targeted by the old emperor, and he was going to give a fat errand to drive him home......

However, Zhu Jingyuan quickly calmed down, an unknown so-called fat difference, and the real power of the book, it is completely incomparable.

The key is that only by standing up and topping up is the perfect way to solve my father's crisis, so I can't go anyway.

So Zhu Jingyuan bowed again, and said loudly and solemnly and earnestly:

"Sun Chen has his own ideas about the matter of peace, and hopes to observe and participate in today's meeting, and implore the imperial grandfather to fulfill it."

Quiet, the whole Wenhua Hall was quiet.

Before, when Zhu Jingyuan opened his mouth to speak, the surrounding princes and ministers were a little surprised, but they quickly relaxed.

Everyone began to look forward to a family warmth drama of royal grandfather and grandson, brother and brother, uncle and nephew harmony.

In the more than 150 years since the ascension of Shizu, there has never been an incident in which the emperor has killed his brothers after ascending the throne, and the royal family has become a model of family harmony.

Emperor Shizu himself ascended the throne at the age of 15, voluntarily abdicated at the age of 60, and lived for another 30 years after the abdication, living to the age of 90.

He has always seen his grandchildren sit on the throne and his great-grandson die when he is an adult.

For more than 70 years, Emperor Shizu himself taught by word and deed, educated four generations of members of the imperial family, and determined the order and rules of competition within the royal family.

Today's emperor Zhu Zhongliang is the fifth generation of emperors counting from Shizu, and he still instinctively maintains the habits of Shizu's era, and his love for his children and grandchildren is still natural.

What everyone didn't expect was that the old emperor's actions were indeed as everyone expected, but Zhu Jingyuan, a half-old child, refused.

Zhu Jianfeng, the ninth son of the emperor, was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhu Jingyuan's words, and then looked at Zhu Jianyan and Zhu Jingyuan, the father and son.

But the father and son were unmoved, and they both understood the reason why Zhu Jingyuan had to stay.
