Chapter 295 The canonization ceremony, the Ming Dynasty military parade, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! (Please subscribe, please vote for me)

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the first day of October was auspicious.

Before dawn, more than a dozen officials, holding various costumes, stood respectfully outside the door of Kunning Palace, waiting.

Led by the eunuch Guo Zhong, a group of more than ten people were as quiet as sculptures, without making any sound.

After a while, there was a sound in the room. Guo Zhong, who had sharp ears, heard it and gently walked up and opened the door, and then slowly entered the palace.

At this time, Zhu Ying had woken up on the bed.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time is approaching, please wash up and change clothes." Guo Zhong said in a low voice, for fear of disturbing His Highness in front of him.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Guo Zhong turned slightly sideways and waved his hand behind.

The eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time immediately filed in.

A eunuch replaced the incense burner and lit the latest incense.

An official brought a golden basin to rinse His Majesty's mouth and face.

A eunuch took a wooden comb and carefully combed His Highness's hair.

There are more than ten people in the group, each performing their own duties. They seem busy, but in fact they are orderly and the processes are extremely skillful.

In the incense burner, light smoke floats, refreshing the heart and mind.

This is Yaxiang produced in Yazhou. The price of the incense is hundreds of gold, and a piece of it is ten thousand yuan. It is the first of the four incense and is a tribute to the palace.

Because of its rarity, it is not commonly used even by the royal family, and is only used during major ceremonies such as sacrifices.

And only the emperor and prince are qualified to use it.

While the aroma was rising and Zhu Ying was washing, the eunuchs holding their crown robes stood quietly by the incense burner, allowing His Highness Taisun's crown gown to be infected by the aroma.

The beauty of the dress is called Hua, and the etiquette is great, so it is called Xia.

Since the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang rectified and restored the Han costume system in the Central Plains.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Han nationality's costumes were more dignified in appearance, grander in bearing, more complex in shape, more colorful in pattern, more diverse in material, and more exquisite in tailoring than in previous dynasties.

It is the pinnacle of clothing in all ages.

What Zhu Ying is about to put on is the crown robe used in the highest level of etiquette.

This is the most gorgeous and elegant dress.

There is a saying that God created the people to serve as ministers and pastors, and that the sages and sages succeeded each other and set up the pole to care for the billions of signs.

On top of the crown, there is a crown, which is called the crown.

Respectfully serve as a heavenly official to govern all people, and the crown is a symbol of this kind of king's power granted by heaven.

After Zhu Ying finished washing, the eunuch Guo Zhong carefully crowned Zhu Ying.

The style of the crown was also displayed in front of Zhu Ying.

It is on a cylindrical hat roll and covered with a wooden crown plate.

The front and back of the crown plate are round, symbolizing a round sky and a round place.

The crown plate is painted blue-black on the top and yellow-red on the bottom, symbolizing the yellow color of heaven and earth.

Jade beads are strung together with colorful silk ropes and hung on the front and back of the crown board to symbolize the passage of time.

Make ball ornaments out of silk cotton and hang them from your ears to remind the king not to listen to slander.

When worn on the head, the crown should be lowered in the front and raised in the back, symbolizing care for the people.

Zhu Ying stood with his hands flat, and various eunuchs were waiting to change his clothes.

The mianfu consists of an upper garment and a lower garment. The upper part is green and black, symbolizing the sky, and the lower part is yellow and red, symbolizing the earth.

There are six different patterns on the upper and lower garments, collectively called the Twelve Chapter Patterns.

Exquisite robes make you look even more majestic.

When Zhu Ying finished dressing, the moment she walked out of the room, the darkness broke, the morning was slightly bright, and a ray of light fell from the sky and enveloped Zhu Ying.

The various gemstones on the crown reflect the morning light.

At this moment, Zhu Ying's whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo, like a god descending from heaven, which shocked his mind.

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, including Guo Zhong, were all in panic. They fell down one after another with their foreheads touching the ground and did not dare to get up.

Daming Palace, Jinshen Hall.

Perhaps this is the first time there has been such a lively scene.

Among them are eighteen princes, more than twenty grandsons, and more than ten princesses.

The more than fifty princes, queens, queens, and grandchildren are all Zhu Ying's uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters.

Those standing in the front row were the vassal kings such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Ji, and Zhu Zhen.

The following is arranged in order of eldest and youngest.

In fact, in the original canonization of the prince, this process did not exist. Zhu Yuanzhang added it temporarily.

This is also because Zhu Ying has been living abroad for ten years, has no memory of life in the palace, and is not familiar with his relatives, so Zhu Yuanzhang specially arranged a family recognition session for him.

Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, his eldest grandson is the most important, the other princes and grandsons are also his own flesh and blood. What Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see more is,

In the big family of the palace, Zhu Ying, as the future head of the family, loves and lives in harmony with his family members, and jointly governs the world.

Zhu Di stood in the front row, his face calm as usual, with no other emotions visible.

Zhu Fan next to him kept provoking him with his eyes, which made Zhu Di a little irritable.

The two people were originally mortal enemies. No matter what the occasion, whenever there was an opportunity, Zhu Fan was definitely the one who took the initiative to provoke.

Zhu Di felt that he could hardly bear it anymore and punched the third brother violently. He just suppressed his anger and slowly calmed down.

It's not that he doesn't dare, it's just that Zhu Di understands that if he takes action, his second brother will definitely help.

One on two, two fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and he is not sure that he can win.

The second brother and the third brother are not economical. If they were beaten by Fatty instead, they would be humiliated in front of the juniors behind them.

Besides, on a day like today, if a fight breaks out, I will definitely be chased and beaten by my father.

In the back row of the princes and princesses, the one taking the lead among the princes and grandsons was naturally Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Mingyue.

As the direct children of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the status of the three of them is inferior to that of even some princes and princesses.

There is a big difference between direct descendants and concubines in the palace.

Different from Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue's excited faces, Zhu Yunwen's face showed a bit of loneliness, even though he was relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang formulated various complex etiquette systems, even requiring the length of the sleeves and robes of the common people.

However, the person who least abides by the system is himself.

According to the rules, Zhu Ying is currently the grandson of the East Palace, so the route should start from the Chunhe Palace of the East Palace, go to the back left door of Jinshen Palace and enter.

Since the eldest grandson has lived in Kunning Palace since he was a child, he has always lived in Kunning Palace.

In this regard, even the imperial censor did not dare to say anything.

Everyone knows very well that His Highness Changsun is His Majesty's pet peeve, and anyone who touches him will not be told any etiquette and rules, but will be dragged out and beheaded.

If you still refuse to accept being cut down, I will send your entire clan down, neatly organized, and you won’t have to eat.

In this way, the route was changed from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, and then entered directly from the back door of Jinshen Palace.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing the same imperial robe as his grandson, looking forward to it.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Da Sun coming.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson, who was becoming more and more extraordinary under the background of the imperial robe. He felt particularly happy and pleased. He walked forward three steps at a time and held his eldest grandson's hand tightly.

Take them together towards Jinshen Hall.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father! I pay my respects to His Highness, the great grandson!"

"Greetings to Grandpa Huang! Greetings to His Majesty the Great Grandson!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Ying's hand and appeared in front of many princes, princesses, and grandsons in the Jinshen Hall, more than fifty people present bowed and saluted.

When he reached the top of the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said something to him, then sat down, and then asked his grandson to say a few words.

Zhu Ying took a quick look and saw everyone's faces.

Some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.

After being in the palace for so long, there are indeed many people I haven’t met yet.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying said loudly: "Being able to return to the palace is something I never knew and never thought about before."

"Here, I would like to solemnly thank one person, that is my fourth uncle, King Yan."

"At that time, I was wandering around and making a living by doing business. I happened to be in Peiping. It was my fourth uncle who saw me and insisted on bringing me to the capital. Otherwise, I would still be in the Western Regions now."

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
