Chapter 84: A New Beginning!
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "What, don't you want to go into the palace to see?" ”
"Yes, but ......"
Huang Xiongying was a little puzzled and said: "But this is the palace, just go in and take a look, wouldn't it break the law and order?" ”
The old man replied: "Don't worry, we are here, it's okay, and ......"
The old man paused and said with a smile: "And didn't you say last time that the reward you wanted was to meet the emperor?" We told the emperor, this time, the emperor wants to see you, so you can rest assured and boldly follow us! ”
Hearing the old man say this, Huang Xiongying's heart completely relaxed, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Emperor Hongwu wants to see him!
He is about to meet the legendary emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!
Thinking of this, Huang Xiongying clenched his fists slightly, and when he was able to see Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no one was not agitated in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying quietly and said with a smile: "Let's go!" ”
The noon gate is the main gate of the palace.
Three-hole city gate, the middle gate is the emperor's royal road, only go to the emperor Luan, the left and right side doors are only allowed to enter and exit the officials of the royal family, the prince, the marquis, the horse, the civil official three grades and the military attache four grades or more, and the other grades can only go through the two gates to enter, and the two doors to go out.
Huang Xiongying didn't know this, and it was already dark, so he didn't notice that the old man's carriage was entering through the middle door.
After the noon gate.
The old man got out of the carriage, and Huang Xiongying also got out of the carriage with him.
Out of the carriage, Huang Xiongying couldn't help but be in a trance, although it was already night, but the palace's halls were brilliantly lit, into the eye is a square, wide square, on both sides of the square is the palace group of red walls and golden tiles, although the vision is blurred, but vaguely visible in the majestic and open day.
A crescent moon streaks across the delicate turret, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls, making the palace appear mysterious and quiet at night.
Walking along the square, there is a solemn and majestic gate, in front of which there are five white jade bridges, which are rigorous and magnificent, and make people breathtaking.
"Eldest grandson, look, the front is called Fengtianmen."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the solemn and majestic gate in front of him, and said with a smile: "The annual court meeting is held there, and officials above the fourth grade of the Beijing division must participate, and the emperor listens to the government, no matter the wind or rain, no matter the severe cold and heat, the scheduled court meeting will not be moved!" ”
"You don't know, it's okay this summer, if it's winter, it's cold in the morning, but whether it's windy, snowy or even knife, you have to come, hehe-"
Zhu Yuanzhang happily introduced.
Huang Xiongying sighed in his heart when he heard this, it is not easy to be an emperor and a courtier!
It's no wonder that the later Wanli Emperor didn't go to the early dynasty for thirty years, this winter, people get up from the bed before dawn, and have a whole day meeting in the ice and snow, it is estimated that most people who become emperors are not very willing, right?
Passed the Mukden Gate.
In front of you is an even larger square.
On the left and right are still buildings with red walls and golden tiles, and in the middle of the square, there is a long stone walkway, one leading to a grand hall in front of it.
The main hall is located on the top of the three-level high platform, the top of the heavy eaves palace, the glazed golden tile is covered, the double eaves are heavy ridges, the carved beams are painted and the building is magnificent.
This is the former dynasty of the palace, so there are no eunuchs and palace maids here, the eunuchs and palace maids are basically in the harem, and there are only guards here. However, Zhu Yuanzhang has already asked people to explain these guards, and he will not let these guards reveal his identity.
He wants to tell his eldest grandson the truth of all this.
And he also wanted to see how his eldest grandson reacted when he knew that he was Emperor Hongwu.
He's looking forward to it!
Because on weekdays, his eldest grandson surprises him, and this time, he wants to give his eldest grandson a big surprise......
In front of the empty Fengtian Temple, the grandfather and grandson walked slowly side by side, along the long aisle, towards the Fengtian Palace.
"That's?"
Huang Xiongying saw the appearance of Fengtian Hall clearly, and couldn't help but ask the old man in surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "There is the Fengtian Palace!" ”
"It turns out that it is the Fengtian Temple!"
Huang Xiongying looked at the magnificent hall in front of him blankly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, that is the highest place in the world, the so-called Fengtian, is to rule the world according to the mandate of heaven.
He could imagine that in the daytime, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there was a king who looked down on the world, and below, a group of civil and military officers of the Ming Dynasty stood respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched from the sidelines, smiling but not speaking.
Grandson, everything here was built by grandpa, but the future will be yours.
You will become the master of this place, and the master of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little impatient to tell his eldest grandson everything, let his eldest grandson recognize his ancestors and return to his side.
"Let's go, let's take you to see the emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, and then raised his feet and walked towards Fengxian Hall.
Fengxian Palace, on the west side of Fengtian Temple, there is the family temple of the Ming royal family to worship their ancestors.
The construction of the Fengxian Hall originated from Zhu Yuanzhang and Tao Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, talked about the nurturing grace of his parents, and felt that he could only enjoy the temple every year.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided that he would have a showdown with his eldest grandson there, so that his eldest grandson would worship his ancestors and return to his ancestors!
The Bongseon Hall already belongs to the harem.
In the passage leading to the harem, with the faint light, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Huang Xiongying beside him, and his mood couldn't help but be a little agitated.
"Grandpa, why does the emperor suddenly want to see me at this time?" Huang Xiongying couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
The emperor wanted to see him, and he somewhat understood.
After all, he provided a mirror for the imperial court, and several strategies he proposed were adopted by Emperor Hongwu.
But why did you choose this point in time to meet yourself?
It shouldn't be during the day, just let yourself enter the palace to meet you, how could you choose to let the old man quietly bring you over at night?
Is there something private to say to yourself?
The old man smiled when he heard this, and said, "You'll know when you go in a while!" ”
Saying that, the old man asked again: "What, I'm going to see the old emperor Hongwu in a while, aren't you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid."
Huang Xiongying shook his head: "But nervous." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder.
"What are you nervous about, the emperor is not a three-headed and six-armed, flood beast, can he eat you?"
"Grandpa, you belong to standing and talking without backache, the old emperor Hongwu is the king of a country, and I am a grass people, shouldn't I be nervous?" Huang Xiongying replied with a smile.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
Let's take a look, and after a while you will know that we are Emperor Hongwu, see if you are still afraid.
I don't know if I know, the two of them walked like this, and their footsteps gently walked out of the middle of the deep palace, and one step further was the Fengtian Palace.
"Then you will see the emperor later, what do you want to say to the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Huang Xiongying thought about it and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's say what I think." ”
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped.
He was born as a martial artist, and although he is now old, his ears and eyes are still extremely agile.
He heard it, and so did Huang Xiongying.
The two glanced at each other, then quietly moved two steps and hid behind the grass and trees.
After a while, when he saw the two palace maids coming out of the Fengtian Hall and walking around the corner, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"It's a big night, and I don't know why Grandpa An arranged for the two of us to clean up here!"
"That's it, weird!"
"You don't know, just now I secretly glanced at the portrait of the prince, and I thought he was staring at me!"
"Don't scare me!"
Seeing that one palace maid was frightened, the other palace maid couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, the palace maid said: "Speaking of the prince, I think of one thing, I didn't expect the emperor Yunxi to be crowned the king of Huai, but the emperor and grandson Yunxi only sealed a longevity king, it's really surprising, now the palace is talking about this!" ”
"That's right, what do you think about the emperor, didn't you love Emperor Sun Yunwen very much before? It was rumored in the womb a while ago that the emperor's grandson Yunwen was going to become the emperor's grandson! I don't know what means the emperor Yunxi used. ”
"Means? I've heard that it's not a means, so I'll tell you something, you must not spread it. ”
"Say it, say it quickly, I'm a puppy!"
"Some people in the palace said that it was the emperor Yunxi who went outside to find a phase master to change his life, you see how hard King Huai's life is, first killed his mother, then killed his brother, and now killed his father and prince, the phase master outside said that he is the ......life of the Tiansha Lone Star."
"Shhhh
"It's not me who said it, now in the palace, many people are talking about it!"
"Well, it seems to make some sense to hear you say that."
"Don't spread the word, or ten heads won't be enough......"
The sound faded away.
Huang Xiongying was surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that the first time he entered the palace, he accidentally heard such remarks.
In history, Zhu Yunxi wanted to become the emperor's grandson, and finally ascended to the throne, but I just heard these two palace maids say, why did Zhu Yunxi climb on Zhu Yunwen's head instead.
Zhu Yunxi's life is hard, and it is the remarks of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star that really shocked Huang Xiongying.
There is no such thing recorded in history.
It seems that the treacherous clouds in this palace are much more complicated than those recorded in the history books.
On the side, the old man's original smile had long been thrown out of the clouds, replaced by a gloomy as before the rainstorm, and even the muscles on his face couldn't stop twitching slightly.
"Eldest grandson, you go inside first and wait, let's deal with some things first, and come over in a while."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, pointing to the Fengxian Hall next to him.
Huang Xiongying also knew that the rumors in the palace were not trivial, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he nodded and walked towards the palace pointed out by Zhu Yuanzhang.
When I came to the front of the temple, I saw three big characters written on the huge temple door.
Bongseonden!
Looking at these three words, Huang Xiongying was stunned.
This is a place to worship the ancestors of the Zhu family, could it be that Emperor Hongwu is waiting for him inside?
Just thinking about it, I saw an old eunuch walk out quickly, come to Huang Xiongying's side, bow down, and make a gesture of please.
Huang Xiongying no longer hesitated, and strode towards the hall......
He didn't know at the moment that this step of his life would be towards a new beginning, just like everyone here, in the new year, to a higher level, towards a more brilliant future!
