Zhu Xiongying recovered quickly, and he was alive and well in less than two days.

The old man came over to take a look whenever he had time, never mentioned state affairs and political affairs, and talked about some light-hearted household matters, even if Zhu Xiongying took the initiative to mention it, the old man also immediately interrupted.

This made Zhu Xiongying a little helpless, so he had to listen to the old man and rest well.

However, Zhu Xiongying also knows that the old man is very busy these days, because he has to prepare for the big court meeting.

The grand court meeting at the end of the year is one of the most important court meetings of the year.

It is the grandest pomp to show the inner spirit of a dynasty and the outer Huagon, and even the slightest detail must be as beautiful as a military event.

The annual Great Dynasty Meeting is routinely held at Mukden Gate.

The day of the great court meeting is set, even if it is windy and snowy, it must be carried out as usual, because this is the most important etiquette of a country in a year from the Son of Heaven to the courtiers.

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and etiquette and music are the most important things for monarchs and ministers.

Early this morning, before dawn, hundreds of civil and military officials began to arrange shifts outside the noon gate. The chamberlain in charge of the agenda was even more vigorous, and even the duke's ministers had to be called by them to support them.

The villain's ambition must have a climate, and the solemnity of the grand court meeting gave them the confidence to be arrogant and domineering. They shouted one by one and asked, "Ban Qiwei? ”

The Praetorian Guards replied one by one: "Banqi! ”

The formation was like checking the password when the army assembled.

The team was reorganized, the palace gate had not yet opened, and everyone had to huddle in the cold wind and wait for the fifth watch to announce the time.

The timer in the palace is shorter than that of the people, and after the fifth watch in the palace, the fourth watch of the people ends.

Therefore, after the five watches in the palace, the sound of bangdrums sounded alternately, which was called the accumulation point, which means the release of the standard time.

The sound of the drums of the fifth watch finally sounded on the city tower.

At this time, through the kiss on the corner of the Daqing Palace, I still see the sparse stars.

So the palace door slowly opened, the squeaky grinding sound of the door shaft squeaked sharply across the morning light of the night sky, and the hundred officials tiptoed and looked neat and entered.

At the end of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Great Dynasty Party began.

East Palace.

Zhu Xiongying has already put on the crown dress that symbolizes the heir of the Ming Dynasty.

He looked at the heroic and tall young man in the full-length mirror, and suddenly grinned.

"Beautiful!"

I have to say that Daming's service is really good-looking.

The red embroidered gold thread five-clawed dragon prince robe, slightly corseted waist, plus the pleats below, also mixed with the wide and not bloated skirt of the gold thread, made Zhu Xiongying's whole person look long and jade.

On the waist, there is a jade belt inlaid with 20 pieces of good Hetian jade, engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and at the feet, there are black court boots embroidered with two dragons playing with pearls on the soft soles.

Wearing a somewhat heavy nine-fold crown made Zhu Xiongying mysterious and majestic.

"Your Highness!"

Li Zhong looked at Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile: "It's so good-looking, like the prince, if the prince is still ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhong suddenly stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He used to serve the crown prince, and now he serves the grandson, it can be said that he has served the two generations of princes of the Zhu family, and in his heart, the master is almost everything to him.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many eunuchs who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and they instigated the Ming Yingzong to conquer in person, and as a result, Wang Zhen, who was captured by the Mongols, led by Liu Jin, Feng Bao, Wei Zhongxian, etc., was captured by the Mongols.

But now, in the rising Ming Empire, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are extremely disgusted with eunuchs. As the rulers of the state, they have seen too many eunuchs rebelling in history, which led to the decline of the country.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that except for the eunuchs who served in the harem of the prince and grandson, the rest of the eunuchs in the palace could only be used for rough work. They are not allowed to read, or even to talk casually.

This policy did not last long, and was abolished by the time of Zhu Zhanji, the main reason being that he needed trusted servants to handle private documents, and no other group except eunuchs could provide such loyalty and confidentiality.

This made things more rapid and efficient to a certain extent, but it also promoted the rise of eunuch power.

Eunuchs are a special group, their body is partially missing, and they are also one of the closest people in power, which also caused them to influence the court many times in the history of China.

Regarding the handling of eunuchs, Zhu Xiongying still agrees with the old man's approach, eunuchs should not be involved in political affairs, but Zhu Xiongying will not look down on them because of this.

"I have a heart."

Zhu Xiongying patted Li Zhong on the shoulder, With such a simple action, Li Zhong's tears couldn't help but flow.

"The old slave is rude, Your Highness forgives you!"

"Let's go."

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and went to the Jinshen Palace.

In the palace, the old man also bathed and changed clothes, today, he rarely put on a bright yellow dragon robe, and on his head is a crown woven of golden gold threads, on which there are two lifelike golden dragons, two dragons playing with pearls, very spiritual.

"Sun Chen, see Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xiongying bowed down and kowtowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly helped Zhu Xiongying up and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground!" ”

Zhu Xiongying got up, stepped forward to help the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, my grandson is not so delicate." ”

"Grandpa knows, but you're just sick, so you still need to pay more attention, understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the dignified and extraordinary grandson in front of him with a loving face, stretched out a pair of big hands, grabbed Zhu Xiongying's arm, and said: "Our eldest grandson has really grown up, some time ago it was grandpa who was lazy and pressed all the burdens on you." ”

"Grandpa......"

Zhu Xiongying just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang: "Listen to us finish speaking, our old bones can still be tossed for a few years, if there is anything in the future, you can rest assured and boldly do it, don't worry too much, we can still give you a back!" ”

"My grandson knows!" Zhu Xiongying's heart warmed and nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go, don't let the officials wait for a long time!"

As soon as the two of them moved, Liu Bao sang at the gate of the hall, "Your Majesty is driving!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Outside the hall, a royal chariot and a guard of honor were already waiting, and a team of guards knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying's hand, and in the midst of everyone's humble bowing, he went to the royal chariot.

The guard of honor began to march towards the Mukden Gate.

The emperor's honor guard was very long, and everywhere he passed, the palace people bowed down one after another, looking down at the ground, they were not qualified to see the emperor.

And Zhu Xiongying walked on the side of the imperial chariot, holding the pole of the sixteen imperial chariots with one hand, and the jade belt around his waist with the other hand.

The waist bar is straight, and the eyes do not squint.

The imperial chariot stopped in front of the Fengtian Gate, and Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the imperial chariot.

"Big grandson!"

"My grandson is here!"

"Hold our hand, let's go together!"

"Yes!"

The old emperor's old arm was placed on Zhu Xiongying's vigorous hand, and under a golden dragon and yellow Luo umbrella, an old man and a young man slowly walked towards the highest place of Fengtianmen......

At this time, the square in front of Fengtian Gate was already full of officials, and there were thousands of people.

Officials above the seventh grade of the Beijing Division must participate.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"The imperial grandson Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

In the sound of the courtiers' pilgrimage and tsunami, the last court meeting of Hongwu in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu was also the largest court meeting officially began......
