Offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple sounds very majestic, but it is actually very majestic.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, generally only when the monarch ascended the throne, got married, died, took office, took the title of honor, emblem, longevity, canonization, triumph, sacrifice of prisoners and other matters related to the monarch and the country, the emperor would offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple.

A monarch, throughout his life, would pay homage to the ancestral temple very rarely, or even not once, such as Ming Guangzong.

Therefore, this rare confession is like the primary school students of later generations who must tell their parents when they score 100 points on the exam.

As for the development of several places in the Northeast, Anxi Province, etc., the emperor did not choose to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple because he thought it was a trivial matter and a way to show off himself.

But Annan is different.

This is a place that was lost during the Xuanzong period. It belongs to the old land and is restored. These ancestors must be made aware of their great achievements.

What was lost by the Yan and Fan line was recovered by the Qin and Fan line, which is of great significance.

Of course, since there was succession rather than heir, all the positions in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, were moved to Nanjing.

There happens to be an Ancestral Temple in Nanjing, so we don’t want to waste it.

As for the current Taimiao, besides Taizu and Chengzu, there is Zhu Xi who was posthumously named Liezu.

Then his father was posthumously named Emperor Jing, his grandfather was named Emperor Yuan, his great-grandfather was named Emperor Xian, and his great-grandfather was named Emperor Cheng, that is, only four generations.

Therefore, the entire Imperial Ancestral Temple in Beijing lists the tablets of seven emperors.

As for why Zhu Di's position did not go to Nanjing, it was actually the rule of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which stipulated that he could only follow the ancestors, but not the ancestors, so Zhu Di stayed.

Besides, Zhu Yixi is not that unkind. More than a dozen ranked people have left, so there must be one left.

After offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple in an enthusiastic and formal manner, Zhu Yixi became bored.

After all, this is a face-saving project, and he no longer needs this to support himself.

Just regaining the Ming Dynasty is enough to gain face in front of ancestors.

Of course, after he became emperor, he kowtowed to seven ancestors at once, which really made him dizzy and a little irritable.

In addition to these, both dress and etiquette are very ceremonial, and there is no room for any oversight.

To put it in layman's terms, there are too many bullshit and too much trouble. Whether it's the emperor's delicate body or the temper of the time traveler, it's a bit uncomfortable.

I'm used to being idle.

"If there really are ghosts and gods, I have merged with my original body, and my soul has been eaten up, and I have allowed it to enjoy incense. Even if I am not my biological child, I have to recognize it."

After walking out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, facing the dazzling sunshine and feeling the steam-like heat of the entire Forbidden City, Zhu Yi calmed down in an instant:

"Even if you don't recognize me, my bloodline is firmly established, so I will continue to kneel down and worship you."

Feeling relieved, Zhu Yixi looked back at the Ancestral Temple and shook his head:

"Forget it, let the prince do it when he comes back."

The emperor's ceremonial tasks were many and very important, and there was no room for sloppiness.

As the crown prince, it is natural for the prince to do the work for him.

Only the prince is suitable.

For example, in his later years, Yongzheng directly asked Qianlong to go to the suburbs to worship heaven and earth on his behalf and do things that only a prince could do. This was like turning on a big light bulb at night. Who didn't know that he was the prince?

Unless the idiot is pretending to be confused.

It is precisely for this reason that the Qing Dynasty's secret appointment of the crown prince was actually just a formality.

For example, Daoguang, who was inherited as the eldest son of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was the first to be named Prince Zhi in the 18th year of Jiaqing. At this time, the other princes were not even county princes.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing, he even visited Dongling on behalf of the emperor.

The lice on the head of a bald man are clearly visible.

The same is true, even if the edict establishing the crown prince is lost, he can still succeed to the throne smoothly, because he has been the crown prince for more than ten years.

Therefore, Zhu Yixi had no trust in establishing a secret reserve.

Because anything on paper can be forged, so it is better to just show the cards and carry out the monarchy handover safely.

You must know that even in later generations, the transfer of political power will be subject to wind, rain, thunder and lightning, let alone today's feudal society.

The drama that netizens are talking about, Osman, where one man gets the right to kill his whole family, actually only lasted for more than a hundred years and then stopped.

"Master, are you going back to Yuquan Mountain?"

"Of course." Zhu Yixi pouted and said, "Isn't it possible to steam buns in the Forbidden City?"

"Why can't I think about the sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple?"

Liu Afu on the side shut his mouth tightly, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

So, in the afternoon, the emperor dressed neatly again and rode a brisk rail carriage back to Yuquan Villa.

"What are the queens and the others doing?"

After bathing and changing clothes hastily, the emperor was in trouble. Who should he choose to sleep with?

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger.

For some reason, Zhu Yixi became a little afraid of these hungry women.

You must know that in the past, he could fight one on two or one on three, but with the strong physiological blessing, he could only fight cowardly.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's just that the opponent is too strong.

"We are playing cards in the harem today. The queen is a bit unlucky, so Concubine De has won a lot..."

In just a moment, Liu Afu learned about the situation in the harem and hurriedly told the emperor.

"That's it!"

Zhu Yixi nodded: "I will sleep alone tonight so as not to affect their poker luck."

The next day, early in the morning, the queen sent another porridge to reward the emperor's stomach.

But behind the scenes, he was asking for news about the prince.

Obviously, Sun Xueniang was confused because she was concerned, and her mind was not on it, so she had bad luck with the cards.

"I am an official in the county town!"

Zhu Yixi said casually: "Sitting in the lobby every day to review cases is much better than training in the Beijing camp before."

"Is the Crown Princess pregnant?"

Sun Xueniang said impatiently.

Originally, only a few concubines followed, but the queen forced the crown princess to follow her, hoping to give birth to an eldest grandson.

There was no other way, the emperor had no choice but to agree.

Therefore, the East Palace, which was not crowded to begin with, became increasingly empty with the absence of several owners.

"It's early!" the emperor said casually: "The more you force him to do this, the worse it will be. You still have to take your time."

Sun Xueniang forced a smile, feeling uneasy.

The Prince of Qin is running away, and the Crown Princess is still there, so how can she live in peace.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but make up her mind: "You don't have to pursue the eldest grandson, you can also have a concubine!"

The emperor ate this breakfast with gusto, but the queen was too preoccupied with it to finish a few bites.

Afterwards, the emperor held an imperial meeting to discuss Qin affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is a formal canonization ceremony.

For example, the country's name, dragon robes, official uniforms, and various seals and ribbons were given.

Don't underestimate these things. Take the dragon robe as an example. The prince's regiment's dragon robe cannot be produced without the work of hundreds of embroiderers for half a year.

For example, the royal robes of North Korea were all given by the Ming Dynasty, and they simply could not make such gorgeous things in their country.

As for royal robes like those in Vietnam, they look very rustic. They are not gifts, but self-control and undignified.

The official dragon robe is like giving a model to comply with the regulations and not to exceed them. To put it bluntly, it is to standardize the etiquette system and deepen obedience in terms of etiquette.

After the Qin State unified Annan, official robes and seals were given naturally, formally and reasonably.

Simply for the unification of the Qin State, the imperial court has already made preparations. It has been prepared for a long time, and it can be given directly.

However, the title of the country, which originally had no problems, caused disputes among the nine ministers of the cabinet.

Some people support Annan and some support Qin.

Annan is an old title. If he is given the title of Annan King, he will definitely have the accompanying title of Annan Capital Unification to deepen the influence of the imperial court.

The Qin State was different. It was an independent vassal state like Korea and could not interfere easily.

However, these emperors had already made plans in their minds.

Develop independently and allow it to expand and strengthen itself.

"Let's still go to Qin!"

The emperor said lazily: "Save the trouble."
