The great Emperor of Heaven has favored our great Ming Dynasty. The destiny has been fulfilled, the foundation is solid, and the support is glorious.

Blessings and fortunes will last for a hundred generations. All living beings in Deze Palace will enjoy happiness in time. God-given blessings and fortunes will last for thousands of years, and they will be able to see their achievements forever.
To the accompaniment of "The Song of the Ming Dynasty", the crown prince wore a coiled collar, narrow sleeves, and gold woven dragons on the front, back and shoulders. Surrounded by officials from the East Palace, he went out from the Chunhe Gate to the Sheji Altar to worship.
In front of the Sheji altar, there are sixteen dancers and four Dongyi people. They have buns on the back, tied with red pins and gold headbands, blue and green colored painted clothes with large sleeves, and green pins and gold skirt edges.

"The Ming Dynasty is the ruler of the world, with a broad holy grace. He controls the country, conquers the Rong in the east, and barbarians in the north and south. He holds his hand high and holds a treasure plate."
A dance to appease the barbarians was played for the Crown Prince to watch.
After the visit, the prince praised him for his kindness, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites invited him to perform sacrifices at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Along the way, he played "The Song of Good Luck by the Flame Spirit". The Ming Dynasty, which prospered in response to the fortune of fire, was blessed with the birth of the Ming Emperor...

After the prince paid his respects to the Sheji Zong Temple, he walked towards the Fengtian Hall and stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. The internal praise officer ushered in the kings, who all knelt down. The king of Jin, Zhu Fang, reported: "My younger brother, Zhu Fang, met his eldest brother, the crown prince." I am extremely displeased with the honor and crown, so I would like to lead all my brothers to congratulate His Highness."

All the civil and military officials were guests, and they all congratulated in unison: "Mao Jing is my inheritance, and I will always introduce Jingfu!"
The grand master knelt down and put on the crown, and the crown prince accepted it. The official of the Ministry of Ceremonies undressed him, the crown prince entered the palace, took the undressed robe out, sat down again, and performed the ceremony of crowning him again.
The Crown Prince and the Tutor presented Pi Bian with the blessing: "The crowning ceremony and the promotion of the crown are to achieve the virtues of the people, to be respectful and cautious in the majesty, and to be the way of the people."

There was clear jealousy in the eyes of all the princes. What kind of crowning ceremony was this? It was almost the same as the enthronement ceremony. My father really wished he could step on everyone to support his eldest brother.
He actually asked Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun to come as the three guests, and all the civil and military officials as the accompanying guests...
Zhongshu Prime Minister Hu Weiyong came out of Fengtian Palace and summoned the prince to enter.
The three guests were surrounded by civil and military officials. The crown prince entered the palace and knelt down. The emperor stood up and proclaimed the edict: "Be filial to your king and relatives, be friends with your brothers, be close to the virtuous and love the people, live by benevolence and righteousness, never be lazy or arrogant, and prosper forever."
The Queen's precepts said: "Keep filial piety to your friends, be blessed with good fortune, be respectful and careful with your majesty, uphold the principles of the people, respect heaven and love the people, and forever consolidate the country."
"I am not sensitive, I dare not accept it." Perform five bows and three kowtows.
Zhu Xi, who was at the end of the hall, asked in a low voice in confusion: "We have already finished the ceremony, why haven't we given any words yet?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zhu Fan responded in a low voice: "The words are for people of the same generation to communicate with each other. What's the use of giving the eldest brother the words? Do you dare to shout?"
There should be words after the crown, but at this time, including the Ministry of Rites, they naturally ignored this step when discussing it.
………
After the crowning ceremony, Zhu Biao's life did not change at all. If there was any change, it was that he was forced to accept some teachings and rituals. He could only try his best to share the rain and dew.
The second and third eldest children left Beijing and went to feudal vassals. Many Wu Xun who had been stationed there for several years were also transferred to northern Xinjiang or back to the capital camp. Zhu Biao recently accepted most of them.

After the coronation ceremony, the father and son's grudge against Sun disappeared and returned to their previous state, spending all day together in the Jinshen Hall handling government affairs.
"Biao'er, the Luchuan envoy will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. Go and meet him."
Zhu Biao said: "Seeing or missing is of little significance. Luchuan sent Wang Zhen back. This time, he wanted to hand over the seal given by the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. He also brought gold and silver elephants as tribute, hoping that the imperial court could canonize him.
