Chapter 242: Squeeze out the last value!
"Besides, there's one more thing."
After talking about the affairs of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Yunxi suddenly said again.
It's just that he looks at ease.
Zhu Di didn't care, just thought it was a trivial matter to discuss with him.
But I never thought about the next moment.
Zhu Yunxi was so shocked that Zhu Yun was so frightened that he almost didn't spit out the wine he had just drunk!
"This Spring Festival is approaching, and this year, the emperor's grandfather will not come back on Yangshan."
"I want to hand over the matter of the Spring Festival main sacrifice to the third uncle."
Zhu Yunxi said very plainly.
But these words really scared Zhu Di.
Zhu Di, who was opposite him, had panicked eyes, and he didn't know what Zhu Yunxi meant for a while.
Since ancient times, every time the Spring Festival is approaching, there is a very cumbersome ceremony to worship the heavens and ancestors.
As usual, it was generally presided over by the emperor himself.
However, it can also be done by the minister.
Now that Lao Zhu is not here, the grandson is in charge of the country, so this matter will naturally fall on Zhu Yunxi's head.
And this is also the first ceremony of worshipping the heavens and ancestors presided over by Zhu Yunxi.
It is also an important moment to assert one's rule and increase one's authority.
But at such an important moment, Zhu Yunxi actually gave it to Zhu Di!
This makes Zhu Di inevitably think more......
After all, who knows if Zhu Yunxi really wants to let it, or if he pretends to want to let it, so as to test it?
Zhu Di couldn't guess Zhu Yunxi's mind at all.
In my heart, I was more and more impressed by Zhu Yunxi's ability.
"This ...... How can we be responsible for the Spring Festival officiating event? Zhu Di naturally refused again and again.
But Zhu Yunxi persuaded earnestly and said: "Third uncle, this matter belongs to you. ”
The celebrant is extremely complex and cumbersome.
And who will preside over the sacrifice has no impact on Zhu Yunxi's position.
Anyway, Lao Zhu is still there now.
The reason why Zhu Yunxi pushed this matter to Zhu Di was purely because the work of the main priest was too cumbersome and tiring!
In this era, worshipping the heavens and ancestors is naturally the most important of the great things.
Therefore, there are many rules.
When worshipping the heavens, it is necessary to hold a jade ritual vessel called "gui" with the upper tip and the lower part of the hand.
For Zhu Yunxi, who is still young, if he wears a thick crown dress and keeps holding 'Gui', it will be tiring to death......
And before the sacrifice, the chief priest had to check the animals and utensils used in the sacrifice, and there was no omission.
Also make sure that everything is not in place.
When it comes to the day of worshipping the heavens and ancestors, the person who presides over the sacrifice needs to start from dawn.
In turn, complete the nine procedures of welcoming the gods, laying the jade silk, entering the ceremony, offering the first gift, the second offering, the final offering, sprinkling beans, sending the gods, and looking at the fire.
During the sacrifice, the emperor had to lead the civil and military officials to constantly kneel and salute.
The celebrant sang loudly, and the people followed suit.
Under the singing and harmony of the celebrants, the music is played, and then the suburban society orders the firewood and grass on the altar to be lit, and the offerings are burned, and the smoke rises, and the sacrifices are sent to heaven.
Other than that, every etiquette is very cumbersome.
Taking the first offering as an example, the officiant needs to go to the first position, take the gui, wash the jue, wipe the jue, hand it over to the deacon, and leave the gui.
Then he went to the liquor shop, and gave the wine to the deacon, and went out of the house.
But that's not all.
When the sonata sounds, the chief priest also needs to kneel in front of the god, make a gift, offer incense, sacrifice wine, lay a knight, and go out.
After reading the blessing, the priest bows down, gets up, bows again, and then returns to his original position.
This is the completion of one of the rituals!
The long process, Zhu Yunxi just glanced at it, and his scalp was numb.
This one is really tiring!
And Zhu Yunxi doesn't think this thing is really useful.
Rather than spending so much effort on this, Zhu Yunxi still wants to care more about the progress of various reforms in the Ming Dynasty.
Only this is the fundamental way to really make Daming stronger!
That's why Zhu Yunxi insisted on handing over the matter of the main sacrifice to Zhu Di.
But Zhu Di didn't know this.
He couldn't guess Zhu Yunxi's thoughts at all, so he could only watch Zhu Yunxi plead again and again, and he really didn't mean to frame him.
Only then did I reluctantly accept it.
But in his heart, he felt that he was becoming more and more incomprehensible to Zhu Yunxi.
Why is Zhu Yunxi so confident.
He even dared to hand over the ceremony of worshipping the heavens and ancestors to him?!
Naturally, he didn't know...... Zhu Yunxi dared to give him the greatest confidence in handing over these things, in the final analysis, because he was dying......
Before he died, he didn't give full play to his spare heat, and threw all the work he could to do.
Squeeze out all the surplus value.
Isn't Zhu Yunxi stupid?
I am used to fighting with Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, and it is rare to meet a 'no threat' vassal king like Zhu Di.
Of course, Zhu Yunxi has to learn how to squeeze out the last trace of Zhu Di's use value!
sent Zhu Di away.
In the imperial study, only Zhu Yunxi was left alone.
In a blink of an eye, a year is almost over.
Zhu Yunxi's mood fluctuated, not only thinking back on everything that had happened in the past year, but also looking forward to his first Spring Festival in Daming.
In the past life when the taste of the year was getting weaker and weaker.
It's been a bad year.
even made Zhu Yunxi feel that he was celebrating the New Year.
But now it's back to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi began to look forward to it.
I don't know, what does this Spring Festival look like at the beginning of tomorrow?
Come to mind.
Zhu Yunxi summoned a personal maid to inquire about the matter.
"Do you know that in recent years, there is anything interesting about the Spring Festival in Beijing?"
"Is it hot?"
The little maidservant supported her white chin with a white finger.
Tilted his head and thought for a long time.
said: "Your Highness, the maidservant girl heard that in the early years, the Spring Festival of Jingshi was not so lively. ”
"But it's different now."
"Every year during the Spring Festival, there will be a lantern festival to watch!"
"On the first day of the first lunar month, there is also a city god temple fair, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, there are all kinds of rare treasures, it is not too lively!"
"There are also major opera troupes performing at the temple fair, and there are a lot of people watching them."
"It's just ......"
The maidservant said with a little weakness: "The whole Spring Festival is only five days...... Can't get enough of it......"
Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment.
The mouth grew slightly, a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the whole Spring Festival would only be put on for five days!
This...... It's like seven days in the afterlife!
However, when I think of Lao Zhu's workaholic, plus the entire Hongwu period, there are few holidays.
Not even a monthly holiday!
I don't have a few days off a year, but it's reasonable......
After all, the leaders of the Ming Dynasty refuse to rest, working day and night, how dare they rest as a subordinate?
Thinking about it this way, the Spring Festival is only five days, which is really reasonable and unreasonable.
But this is not a long-term solution.
Coming from later generations, he understands the relationship between working hours and productivity.
It's not that working longer is necessarily better.
Sometimes it's time to take a break for a better job.
Wait for next year, maybe he will have to disobey Lao Zhu once.
Give the people of Daming a good annual leave!
It's best to launch some official activities, in Zhu Yunxi's heart, isn't this far better than a meaningless form of worshipping the heavens and ancestors?
It can not only increase the happiness of the people.
It can stabilize the hearts of the people.
"In the palace this year, you should think about more activities."
"Let the palace be lively and lively."
"Don't be as dead and silent as you used to be."
Every New Year, the palace people are homesick, and the lively atmosphere in the palace is not as good as outside the palace.
The maidservant hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness is considerate of us slaves. ”
"The slaves and maids thanked Your Highness for them!"
I am more and more grateful to Zhu Yunxi in my heart.
Also more loyal.
……
Time flies, and time flies like a white horse.
All of a sudden.
The Jingshi suddenly had a touch of red, and every household put up lights.
Even the noise in the streets.
It's also three points bigger than usual.
In a blink of an eye...... The Spring Festival is just around the corner......
Snow falls......
The end of the year is approaching......
