Chapter 399 : The Ming Dynasty is orthodox, the state of etiquette!(1/2)
In Fengtian Square,
Hundreds of civil and military officials, thousands of foreign ministers, concubines in the harem, vassal kings from various places, descendants of the Tian family, relatives of the emperor and the country.
Anyone with a high status will stand here.
Although Zhu Ying held part of the ceremony in Zhengyang Square to celebrate with the people, given the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, it could only be a formality.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for concubines and concubines to appear in public.
The formal ceremony can only be completed in Fengtian Square.
Under Fengtianmen,
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing looked at each other and stood side by side.
As the drums played, Zhu Ying reached out and took off the red cap from Ye Yueqing's head. There was already a young eunuch beside him who lowered his head and picked up the tray to catch it.
This is the difference from the folk.
As the crown prince and concubine, the future queen, and the mother of the Ming Dynasty, she is not allowed to cover her face with red cloth during the sacrificial process.
Hong Gai left, revealing Ye Yueqing's delicate face.
In the past, Ye Yueqing never put on makeup and was seen without makeup.
Today, I put on a light rouge, pink and white, and applied fragrance to my lips.
A pair of bright eyes, watching quietly.
He is wearing a phoenix crown on his head, wearing a Xia pei, and a long shirt that stretches for more than three feet. Three pairs of golden boys and girls stand behind him, carrying clothes for him.
There are also twelve palace maids holding trays in their hands.
Gold, silver, jadeite, pearls and ivory symbolize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the world.
The whole grains, red dates and longan, as well as the meat of three kinds of animal sacrifices, symbolize the endless generations of heirs and the endless supply of melons and melons.
"Your Highness, please salute."
Beside, the eunuch reminded in a low voice.
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing looked at each other and then came back to their senses.
Zhu Ying stretched out her hand, palm facing up.
The leaves and moonlight are soft and tender, and they are held tightly.
The two immediately walked on the red carpet.
At that time, the music changed drastically.
During the 100th century of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, rituals and music collapsed. Zhu Yuanzhang has been trying to abandon the barbarians of the Yuan Dynasty and restore Han culture.
Therefore, the Five Rites system of the Ming Dynasty mostly inherited the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties, rather than the customs of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
The orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, the voice of China, is majestic.
Two bamboos, fourteen flutes, fourteen shengs, fourteen flutes, fourteen head pipes, ten zithers, eight pipas, eight twenty strings, six square horns, five drums, eight clappers, and twelve stick drums.
Si Li Eighteen, lyrics:
The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are bright, and peace is celebrated in all directions and seas.
In the Dragon Tower and Phoenix Pavilion, the curtains are opened and the emperor rises.
The Holy Spirit inspires the spirit of heaven and earth, guarantees long life, and increases blessings.
King Xiangguang's energy is born, he is promoted to the throne, and he is always healthy and peaceful.
Following the music of drums and lyrics, the two of them walked to His Highness Fengtian.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang on the steps, he bowed and bowed deeply.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly,
Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Liu He stepped forward and read a congratulatory message:
A huge country, a mighty China.
The Ming Dynasty was orthodox and a land of etiquette.
Heaven created the grass and the trees, so the three poles of Tao Jun unified the heaven and transformed them.
The five virtues were renewed, the three righteousnesses emerged one after another, the virtuous were controlled by materials, and the saints were enthroned. Therefore, the emperor's legacy was prosperous, the king's status was changed to glory, and the obscurity was changed to make it bright. This is the origin.
In the 100th year of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Guanlu changed his residence, Emperor Anhuang was sent to Yue, and the ancestral sacrifice was lost.
Therefore, the sun and moon are reopened, the rise and fall continue, and the decline of fortune is once again restored, and China is rebuilt.
Today we have the emperor Sun Xiongying, the eldest son of Emperor Ming Dynasty.
There is also Yue Qing, the daughter of the Ye family, who is dignified and virtuous, with both virtue and appearance.
Offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and report to ancestors.
Three books and six etiquette, the matchmaker is marrying.
Make good friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, perform the great ceremony of China, and establish a good relationship for a hundred years!
Finished the words,
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing bowed to the ground three times.
This worship is to pay homage to Emperor Hongwu, to reopen the sun and moon, to regulate the world, and to establish orthodoxy.
The second prayer is to pray to parents for fertility. The tenth month is difficult.
The three bows are for husband and wife to bow to each other. From then on, they respect each other as guests and look after each other with their white heads.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the steps slowly, walked in front of the two of them, and held them up with both hands.
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing stood up and bowed slightly.
"We are very happy today. Our eldest grandson finally got married. Heirs will be passed down. The national affairs of the Ming Dynasty are not only related to our old Zhu family, but also to the entire Ming Dynasty."
"My eldest grandson is still young, so he may not be able to feel what we are talking about now. When he reaches our age, he will be able to understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Da Sun heavily on the shoulder and said softly.
When Zhu Ying heard this, she felt deeply in her heart.
This is something that is difficult to feel in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty and now, it is really the case.
The so-called emperor means the combination of great power and power.
The rules and regulations of the world are all decided by the emperor.
A wise king will be the prosperous age, and a faint king will be the last days.
When there are too many foolish kings and the country is exhausted, it will be difficult to turn the tide.
Is Daming strong?
Very strong!
Today's Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the number one country in the world.
The Ming Dynasty Navy, the world's largest navy, the large-scale and famous Zheng He fleet was actually just a maritime mobile fleet of the powerful Ming Empire Navy.
Its total size is equivalent to ten Spanish Armadas.
There were more than two million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as muskets and artillery. No matter how strong the city was, it could not withstand three days of indiscriminate bombardment.
The Ming Dynasty has more than 60,000 people, making it the largest country in this era.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was directly under the jurisdiction of more than 12 million square miles, and including the areas under indirect jurisdiction, the area was more than 20 million square miles.
This is because Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to take over those barren areas, as he felt that it would increase the burden on the national treasury.
This is the current Ming Dynasty.
And Zhu Ying will be the only master of the Ming Dynasty in the near future.
His words are truth, and his words are law.
Just like the Hongwu Emperor in front of me.
...
After the wedding, of course there was a banquet for the guests.
As for the folk custom of having a wedding ceremony, haha.
I don’t know who has the courage to disturb the bridal chamber of the future Emperor and Empress of Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid I don't know how to write the word "death".
That is to say, in the process of toasting, two people, such as Qin Wang Zhu Cang and Jin Wang Zhu Fan, could even say something to ask their grandson to drink more.
Others, such as Zhu Di, Li Jinglong, or other vassal kings, must be respectful and cannot go overboard in the slightest.
"Fourth Uncle, the royal nephew's wedding here has passed. I don't know when I will see you next time."
Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Di who was toasting opposite him and said with some emotion.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty had already gathered, and more than half a million soldiers were stationed in Shanghai. They waited for the generals to arrive and then took ships directly to Jeju Island.
To be continued...
