It was a sunny day on the third day of May, and it was also the day when Zhu Zhanzhen was granted the title of county king.
For the canonization of the county king, officials of Hanlin, Fangju, Liuke, Shangbao and Yousi Siqing of the fifth rank or above will be the chief envoys, and officials of the ministry, temple, and Zhongshusheren will be the deputy envoys to preside over the canonization. The county king is conferred
Gold-plated silver album, silver treasure.
Zhu Zhanzhen wore a specially made crown robe for the county prince as his crown robe. The crown was crowned with seven chapters, the crown was picked with jade beads, and Qilu. This dress was only worn when he was granted the title. The crown robes of the county prince and prince are generally the same, and they are used in each
There are differences in details.
If a non-royal clan member wears this outfit, he can be dragged out and beheaded for treason.
This outfit is solemn and elegant. If you don't hold your head high, it will make people feel that you are not well behaved. You must always be upright.
The minister who presided over the canonization ceremony recited a lot of auspicious words. Zhu Zhanzhen was almost dying of heat. The weather in early May had already started to get hot. Wearing the imperial crown uniform, beads of sweat began to appear on his body.
But red tape is etiquette. After the whole canonization ceremony, Zhu Zhanyi felt that all the clothes under his clothes were soaked with sweat. Fatty himself hid in the shade on the grounds of feeling unwell.
There is every reason to suspect that he is faking it.
"Zhu Zhanyang, the fifth son of Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, is intelligent and alert, has extraordinary appearance, is tolerant and benevolent, has a gentle nature, and is diligent and obedient. He was named the Prince of Zhujiang County, with an annual salary of two thousand dan, and he built the county palace in Guangzhou Prefecture."
The annual salary of two thousand dan is Zhu Zhanzhen's pocket money. Since I am in charge of military affairs, everything must be done with public funds, so my salary is all pocket money.
"Zhan Yu will be the king of the Ming Dynasty from now on. Remember to be careful in your words and deeds, and don't disgrace the name of the clan."
"Father, don't worry, your son will be safe."
"His Majesty sent you to Guangzhou Mansion for his own reasons. Just do it with peace of mind and don't make any mistakes."
The prince and the princess taught each other earnestly and sincerely, but Zhu Zhanzhen just wanted to change out of the extremely hot clothes on his body as soon as possible.
I didn't change my clothes until the afternoon. It felt like I had been in the sauna for a long time and I was almost exhausted.
Chu'er was instructing the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard to pack their things, and they were all going to Guangzhou Mansion.
"Your Highness, Master Yao is here."
"finally come."
Zhu Zhanzhen had been waiting for the arrival of Yao Guangxiao since Zhu Di told him to let him take charge of the military and political power in the south. Zhu Di entrusted Yao Guangxiao with many things, especially those shady things, which had to be helped by Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Zhanyi believed that Yao Guangxiao would definitely come to him, but he had not come for so many days, and he was still very confused. Now he finally came.
Yao Guang Xiaofang was smiling as soon as he walked in, but his sinister face, as the third brother said, he looked like a bad guy if he didn't smile, and he didn't look like a good guy when he smiled.
"The poor monk has met His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."
"Master, please stop teasing me."
"Your Highness, would you like to go to Jiming Temple with me, an old monk."
Thinking that he had something to explain, Zhu Zhanyi followed Yao Guangxiao to Jiming Temple.
The yellow wall looks particularly beautiful in the bright sunshine, and the lush green vegetation envelops Jiming Temple.
"Jiming Temple was first built in the Southern Dynasties. With the change of dynasties, the appearance has changed, but it still exists. The Buddha is more knowledgeable than others. Yesterday he ate the offerings of the previous dynasty, and today he is blessing the current emperor."
Surprised by Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Zhanyi added: "Buddha is a foreign god."
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and led Zhu Zhanyi to Jiming Temple: "Your Highness, we are going to Guangzhou Mansion now, and the poor monk has to go to Shuntian Mansion. We may not be able to see each other in a short time, or it may be a long, long time." Even though I haven’t gotten along with His Highness for a long time, the poor monk still regards His Highness as his old friend.”
"Master thinks highly of me."
"Your Highness controls the troops and horses in many places. This order will be issued when I leave for Guangzhou. Your Highness has great power. I have to congratulate Your Highness."
When the topic came, Zhu Zhanzhen gave a wry smile: "Master, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. The power he holds is the same as putting his head in his belt, for fear that he will die if he goes away."
"Why do you need to worry, Your Highness? There will be a road for the car to reach the mountain. With Your Highness's wisdom and ability, you will be able to manage it well."
"It's turbulent outside, but I'm more afraid of Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang has never given such military power to anyone."
"Hahahaha, Your Highness is worrying too much. There is no reason for children and grandchildren to worry about their grandfather."
"I just can't see through it, I can't understand it."
Yao Guangxiao lit three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha and said as the smoke curled up: "Who is the most powerful emperor in the past in your Highness's mind?"
"Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Emperor Tang Zong and Song Zu, and Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, everyone in the world will talk about these names. The First Emperor, whose writings and writings were in the same track, unified Liuhe, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty marched north to the desert, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wanted foreign barbarians to surrender and surrender, and Taizu of the Song Dynasty was a little worse than the three of them, but still Needless to say, a first-class powerful emperor, our Emperor Taizu, drove out the Mongolian Yuan and restored China."
After saying this, Yao Guangxiao paused and looked at Zhu Zhanzhen: "Do you know where our current Emperor Yongle will be ranked?"
"The Emperor's Northern Expedition to the Desert and the Western Ocean, Emperor Yongle will be no worse than these people."
"This is what you want but not what His Majesty wants."
"ah?"
Yao Guangxiao's deep voice seemed to contain great power: "Emperor Yongle, you want to put your name before these emperors of the past dynasties, so that when the world talks about emperors, Emperor Yongle is the first."
What is lofty ambition? This is lofty ambition. It is not enough to be an emperor. It is enough to be an emperor for eternity. No, it is enough to be an emperor for eternity.
Such ideals put social beasts like Zhu Zhanchen to shame.
"Your Highness is going to Guangzhou. Don't worry about His Majesty Ying Tianfu's thoughts. You can do whatever you want with steam engines, telephones, or other ideas. The troops and horses are under your control. If you don't want to control them, just let them do what they are. , Just don’t cause trouble. The Guangzhou government will open the trade port, and your Highness will be in charge of it. Your Majesty wants to see if Your Highness can be his helper in becoming the emperor of all time."
The chairman's confidant will tell you the core ideas of the leader, so that you can act boldly and confidently.
What leaders want is political performance. As long as I can achieve political performance, I will be able to control many things.
Zhu Zhanchen breathed a sigh of relief and showed an innocent smile: "I thought it was because the emperor was disgusted with my behavior and asked me to do dirty work. If I was harmed, no one would seek justice."
"Is Your Highness relieved now?"
"Although it is still a dirty and tiring job, I feel more at ease after doing it. I can move forward without worries. I just didn't expect Grandpa Huang's goal to be so ambitious. With my little ability, I don't know if I can help." .”
"The poor monk feels that His Highness's ideals are more ambitious."
"I?"
"The great unity of the world and the livelihood of the people should be greater than one emperor for eternity."
