Leaving the mansion on the back lake, everyone first turned to the west side of the island by boat, considering that there were a lot of female dependents, for the sake of safety, Zhao Xu temporarily hired eight more lake people as his entourage.

Two mule carts, Freehand, Liubai, Qingqiu, Luoshui and four maids sat in the carriage, and the other even Dai Sanchun's master and apprentice could only sit on the wheel, and the people of the lake followed on foot.

Leaving the island in the middle of the lake all the way, entering the city from the Taiping Gate in the southeast of Houhu, passing through today's obviously bustling urban area, going out of the Tongji Gate in the south of the city, and turning to the direction of Zhengyangmen in the east, I only felt that there were more and more people around.

When it came to the area between Zhengyangmen and the circle mound where the sacrifice was located, the avenue had been blocked by soldiers, and the mule cart was quickly blocked on the nearby road, freehand out of the carriage, and stood on the wheel with the support of the little maid and looked around, only to feel that the surroundings were densely packed, as if the people of the entire Jinling City had come to the southern suburbs, and at a glance, there were more than 100,000.

Freehand didn't know that there was a dense phobia, but when he saw this scene, he felt his scalp tingle inexplicably.

Growing up so big, she really hasn't seen so many people at once.

Liubai followed out, looking at the battle in front of him, his excited little face was a little red, and he completely lost the loss of being kicked out of the house by the petty officials.

Stopped here, and soon a patrol came up and reminded them that the mule cart was far away from the avenue, and that it would be a great sin if the mule was frightened and crashed into the king's chauffeur later.

Like many people who had driven the car, they drove the mule cart to a forest more than a mile away from the avenue, leaving two lakemen to take care of it, and the others returned to the side of the avenue, and with the support of a group of strong men of their own, they successfully squeezed out of the three-story human wall composed of soldiers.

Although there is still some distance from the mound here, you can see King Wu's car driving later. In addition, if you look into the distance, the golden roof and green tiles of the mound are also faintly visible. Therefore, it does not matter how far or near it is, even if it is closer to the mound, it is impossible to enter the ceremony.

Most people understand this, and they still gather, the reason is very simple, the entertainment activities of the people in this era are already scarce, and the current winter day without work is a once-in-a-century encounter like the accession of the founding emperor, how can you miss it?

Therefore, the crowd on the side of the road is far more than the people of Jinling, many of whom came from hundreds of miles away from the surrounding area, just to watch today's ceremony.

In the crowd, under the support of Zhao Xu and other men, the blank belly of the freehand arm next to Qingqiu and Luo Shui was wearing a fence and a hat, and regretted that the two of them were not prepared, and suddenly felt a commotion.

Subconsciously look to the west.

In the distance, all kinds of honor guards are mighty, so that the blank eyes are not taken away.

The honor guard was a little closer, and a green jade canopy car could be seen faintly appearing in the center of the honor guard, and he couldn't help but raise his hand curiously: "Freehand, what is that?" ”

Freehand pressed down the blank hand: "Don't mess around." ”

Liubai hurriedly withdrew his hand and shrunk his neck, but he didn't forget the question he had just asked, and still looked at Freehand.

Freehand also glanced at it and guessed: "Or it is King Wu's chariot." ”

Qingqiu, who was hiding his face with a light veil on the other side, suddenly spoke: "That's the jade chariot, the "Zhou Li" has the king's five chariots, said jade, gold, elephant, leather, wood, the jade system is the highest, used for sacrifices, where there are six drivers, the driver is sixty-four." ”

Liubai pouted quietly, pretending not to hear, and continued to look at the honor guard in the distance.

Freehand nodded slightly towards Qingqiu before turning his gaze back, and was glared at blankly for this.

Slander again, isn't it just the old Confucian daughter who has read a few more books, she knows so much, why does she not change the male body to take the top prize?

King Wu's frame guard of honor slowly approached, and the chatter of the crowd here gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere became quieter and quieter.

After a while, a voice came, and he didn't hear it clearly for a while, but seeing that the surrounding crowd knelt down like the wind blowing wheat waves, he quickly let go of his freehand and knelt down with everyone.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt that the mighty road in front of me was finally far away, and another voice came, and the crowd got up again.

Liubai stood up, looked at the honor guard in the distance, and didn't dare to complain that the skirt he had just changed into when he went out was stained with mud, and he grabbed his freehand arm again, and whispered: "It's so amazing, I didn't even dare to raise my head just now." ”

Freehand didn't dare to raise his head before, listening to Liubai say this, he opened his mouth and wanted to tease her twice, but when he saw the soldiers who were still standing around him, he suddenly closed his mouth again.

This is not the occasion for nonsense.

When he quietly described his feelings to Freehand, on the luxurious jade chariot that gradually faded away, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dressed in a crown, looked at the people who were kneeling in the dark outside the car, and he was in a different state of mind.

It's still a bit like in a dream.

Sixteen years ago, when a little monk who fled from the Imperial Temple to join Guo Zixing's righteous army was favored by Guo Zixing to become the ninth master, he didn't expect it to be today; When he returned to his hometown to recruit seven hundred villagers and began to lead the army alone, he didn't expect today; When he married Guo Zixing's daughter Ma, he didn't expect today; When he conquered Jiqing in the sixteenth year of Zheng, he didn't expect today; After a bitter battle in Poyang Lake, he defeated Chen Youliang, seeing that there was division all around, and the Yuan court still had a lot of energy, he still didn't dare to think about it today......

After so many years of going all the way, he doesn't feel that he has any great strategy and wisdom, he is more like his father back then, a hard-working old farmer, dreaming of sleeping at night, never slacking off, reclaiming his land little by little, cultivating and reclaiming, and suddenly one day, looking at the map, he has two of the three points in the world.

I remember reading history, Liu Bang said that the emperor could still show off his 'family business' to his father, and he, who had no parents to show off, could only remember that many years ago, on that spring day when the drought locusts were raging and the plague was rampant, he buried his relatives one by one.

In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, he drove into the altar of the mound.

When the jade chariot slowly stopped, and the ceremonial officer stepped forward to sing, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression had regained his fortitude.

Walking down the jade chariot, Zhu Yuanzhang walked through the hundreds of officials and elders watching the ceremony under the guidance of the ceremonial official, stepped on the altar, and began to greet the gods of heaven and earth with a serious expression, and patiently repeated the process of burning the jade silk many times, sending three animals, and offering blessing drinks, Zhu Yuanzhang finally returned to the center of the altar.

The celebrant gave a congratulatory message.

This is a congratulatory speech drafted by the Ministry of Rites and revised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the original congratulatory was thousands of words long, and Zhu Yuanzhang reduced it to 242 words.

He doesn't like high-sounding words.

Nearly half of the content of the congratulatory speech is the opponents he has defeated over the years, and he feels that this is the merit that he can use to pray to heaven and earth, and it is the true destiny of heaven. Otherwise, if the fortune didn't lie with him, why did the opponents who were all stronger than him back then lose under him?

Looking at the congratulatory speech again, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to read it, under the clear sky, he looked up at the officials and the people, and sang loudly.

"But I, the king of the Chinese people, since the end of the Song Dynasty, the emperor ordered Zhenren to enter China in the desert as the lord of the world, and his father and son and grandson have more than 100 years, and this fortune is also over, and the people of the land under the world are divided among heroes."

"Emperor Weichen gave Yingxian as the assistant of his ministers, and then set up the quarrying water village barbarian Hague, Fangshan Luzhai Chen Yexian, Yuanzhou Ou Puxiang, Jiangzhou Chen Youliang, Tanzhou Wang Zhongxin, Xingan Deng Keming, Longquan Peng Shizhong, Jingzhou Jiang Jue, Haozhou Sun Deya, Luzhou Zuo Junbi, Anfeng Liu Futong, Ganzhou Xiong Tianrui, Yongxin Zhou'an, Pingxiang Yihua, Pingjiang Wang Shiming, Yuanzhou Li Sheng, Suzhou Zhang Shicheng, Qingyuan Fang Guozhen, Yizhou Wang Xuan, Yidu Laobao, etc., the soldiers rested in the fields."

"Today, the land covers an area of more than 20,000 miles, and all the ministers say: 'The people have no owner, and they will want to promote the emperor.'" The minister did not dare to resign, it was used to set up an altar on the fourth day of the first month of this year in the sun of Zhongshan, to announce to God that the emperor must have the name of the world called "Daming", Jianyuan "Hongwu", Jane in the emperor's heart, still enjoyed. ”
