Zhu Biao rode his horse and galloped in front of the officials. He smiled when he saw many familiar faces. The officials, led by Li Shanchang and Xu Da, all bowed to the ground: "I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital with the imperial seal.
Looking forward to congratulating you on the Great Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao waved them to get up, and then he was surrounded by stars and walked into the city. Of course, it was impossible to enter the palace in such a dusty way. Zhu Biao had to take a bath and change clothes first, and put on the court dress and crown.
After everything was tidied up, Zhu Biao and other ministers walked to Fengtian Hall. Zhu Biao knelt in front of the door holding the imperial seal and said loudly: "My son has been ordered by the emperor to sacrifice to the ancestors. Fortunately, the ancestors have blessed us with auspiciousness and passed down the country."
The important weapons returned to the Ming Dynasty are all due to the merits of my father. Today, I specially present the jade seal passed down to the Ming Dynasty to consolidate our country and the country of the Ming Dynasty!"
Naturally, someone went in to report these words, and soon a eunuch came out and shouted loudly: "The Holy Prince brought the imperial seal to the Hajj!"
The solemn sounds of ritual music sounded, and the heavy drumbeats seemed to hit people's hearts every time. This matter was of great importance. The Ministry of Rites had already arranged the process urgently, and even found a painter. This was enough to be passed down through the ages.
deeds.
Zhu Biao walked into the Fengtian Hall holding the jade seal, but he was thinking about what the scroll would be called, maybe "Prince of the Ming Dynasty Presenting the Seal"?
Zhu Biao walked to the imperial steps, knelt down respectfully, straightened his upper body, held the jade seal in both hands and faced Zhu Yuanzhang at the top: "I was ordered by God to live forever, and my ancestors gave me the jade seal to pass down the country to the Ming Dynasty. My son, I
Congratulations to my father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up with a smile, walked down the imperial steps step by step, and stood in front of his son. The father and son looked at each other and had a tacit understanding. Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and took the jade seal, and all the officials knelt down to congratulate him.
After a busy morning in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to summon all the famous people from all over the world to the capital. This frank and frank act was to announce to the world that this matter was definitely not a fraud.
The first thing he did in the next dynasty was to go to the ancestral temple to worship. The father and son did not talk on the way. When they arrived at the ancestral temple, they kowtowed again. Zhu Yuanzhang personally placed the imperial seal under the memorial tablet, which had to be worshiped for a full month.
This was the idea of the Ministry of Rites, which probably meant that the jade seal would be tainted with the atmosphere of the Zhu family. After everything was over, Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the imperial study to deal with matters, while Zhu Biao wanted to visit his mother first. This was the rule both emotionally and logically.
At this time, there were many people in Kunning Palace, and many concubines and concubines were waiting here with the princes and princesses. It was a big event for the Crown Prince to return to the capital with the jade seal passed down from the country, and it also shocked them. This is a magical weapon.
Queen Ma sat at the top, Chang Luohua sat at the side, and then came the mothers and concubines of the three princes. The rest followed the same rule, those with heirs came first, and those who didn't even have a princess naturally sat at the back.
Only Queen Ma in this room knew about the Imperial Seal, and no one else knew about it. However, they were not here for that thing, but for His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now the followers of the three princes, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di, are already dignified princes, and the royal titles are still the most noble ones. I heard that they were drawn up by the prince himself. If the vassal states are really divided according to titles, then the three of them
They took away the richest places.
The other concubines who have princes are naturally anxious. It would be fine if the three of them have average royal titles. After all, they are not the legitimate sons of the middle palace. But since they have the same origin, why should their sons be incomparable? In the end, this matter still depends on His Highness the Crown Prince.
of.
They had already seen clearly that in order to consolidate the authority of His Highness the Crown Prince among the brothers, the Emperor had to have the final say on these matters, so they had to hurry up and slip away.
What can the rest do? Although they are considered the elders of His Highness the Crown Prince, they do not have a biological mother. They should not try to play tricks in the house, otherwise they will have to bear the consequences.
Queen Ma calmly looked at the group of women in the room. There were more and more women in the palace now. Han Chinese, Mongolians, Goryeo, Yunnan Duan family, and even small foreign vassal countries also sent many women into the palace.
palace.
Empress Ma was dissatisfied in her heart, but she chose to accept that her husband was the emperor, and he was destined to have many things that he could not control. Moreover, she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had devoted his remaining love for women to her.
on the body.
And how many of these women are sincerely willing to enter the palace? They are the most pitiable, so although Queen Ma doesn't like them, she treats them leniently. Queen Ma turned to look at Chang Luohua and chuckled.
The daughter-in-law I have been waiting for for many years has finally arrived, and she has a very good personality. Even though she took extra care of Yun Jin, she didn't make a fuss. That's good. If you can't bear this, how will you live in the future?
Chang Luohua also liked to be quiet, and she was not used to being with so many concubines suddenly. Queen Ma glanced at her and said, "If you are tired, go to the back and rest for a while."
Chang Luohua smiled and shook his head, looking at the belly of a concubine. It was obvious that it was already very big. He was really envious. It would be great if she could also get pregnant. I wonder how many days she can live there when His Highness comes back.
At this time, a young eunuch ran in from outside and reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see the Queen."
A smile appeared on Queen Ma's face: "Please come in quickly."
The eunuch ran out quickly, and soon the crown prince in court clothes stepped into Kunning Palace. Everyone except Queen Ma stood up and bowed in silence. When Zhu Biao walked in, he saw the palace full of people.
Startled.
But he didn't say anything. He glanced at his princess and then went to kneel down in front of his mother to say hello. He had been away from home for several months. It was a rule to kowtow to his parents, even among the people. After all, filial piety was the most important thing.
After a few words of concern, Empress Ma asked him to stand up with her eyes. At this time, the concubines led the princes and princesses to bow to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao also responded politely.
The little princes and princesses ran over in a swarm and surrounded Zhu Biao. They were talking about the words taught by their mother and concubine, and some children's words and some forgot their words halfway through the words. Zhu Biao laughed.
He comforted her again.
The mother-in-law of the three brothers of the Zhu family asked Zhu Biao a few words about her sons. She was very happy to learn that they had done so many errands along the way. It is always good to learn something.
After all, Zhu Biao was already a married prince, so it was inconvenient for them to stay for a long time. They left after leaving their sons and daughters behind, and Empress Ma didn't care. She pitied the hearts of all parents in the world.
Zhu Biao still prefers children, not to mention that the royal children are sensible early and have sweet mouths. Moreover, they have known early on that they want to please their father and elder brother.
Zhu Biao hugged his own sister first. The girl had a stern face and refused to allow others to occupy her brother's arms. She wrapped her two thin arms around his neck and would not let go.
The rest of the people didn't dare to grab it, but they all chattered what they said. Queen Ma looked at it happily, while Chang Luohua didn't know what he was thinking, and his ears were red.
Naturally, the older princess couldn't be so close to her elder brother, so she helped coax her younger siblings. Liu Jin also came in with many things at this time. This was also tradition. Zhu Biao would give them to his younger siblings whenever he went out.
