Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 395 Zhu Di’s canonization ceremony will take place in the next few days.
For matters such as hiring and purchasing servants, slaves, and maids, these two Ya people also took Guo Ang there.
I will change it to a suitable one in the future.
As for the furniture for the mansion, it was directly purchased from the lower shop of Prince Yan’s mansion.
In recent years, the furniture shops under Prince Yan's residence have also flourished.
It can be said that it has monopolized the entire high-end furniture market in Beiping Prefecture.
Soon.
The day of canonization has arrived.
As the chief historian of Prince Yan's palace, Guo An was granted permission to enter the palace and watch the ceremony with all the officials.
The canonization of Zhu Di as crown prince this time was not as hasty as the time when Zhu Yunwen was canonized.
Therefore.
The vassal kings who were far away in the vassal areas were all summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang to the capital to observe the ceremony.
In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the etiquette of canonization.
The ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince and the canonization of the queen are similar.
In the first three days, Zhu Di fasted and bathed, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent officials to pray to heaven and earth and the ancestral temple.
Then, on the previous day, the chief of ceremonies will set up a treasure register in front of the throne of Fengtian Hall, and set up the official position for the festival on the side of the register. The person in charge of the festival will be located on his left, slightly back, and the official position for the official will be set up to the south of him.
All to the west.
Set up a control area for the chief and deputy envoys on the south side of the horizontal street, facing north.
In the north, there are the official posts of undertaking the system and announcing the system, and in the northeast, there are the official posts of fengjie, fengxuanzhi and fengbao, both facing west.
To the north of the receiving position, there is a mattress position for envoys and envoys to be entrusted with the throne, facing north.
Later.
The two people in ceremony are located on the south side of the steps, the two people in Zanli are located in the north of the chief and deputy envoys, and the two people in Zhiban are located in the south of Zanli, all facing east and west.
The positions of officials and attendants are set according to court etiquette.
However, since the canonization of the Crown Princess and the canonization of the Crown Prince are both delivered on the same day.
Therefore, on the day of official canonization.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were also canonized together.
Guo An guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang's body could no longer bear the two canonizations.
As soon as it dawned, Guo An followed the envoys, deputy envoys and officials to the front of Fengtian Hall.
It can be seen that the honor guard and soldiers in front of Fengtian Palace are all dressed in very clean and festive clothes, and there is loud music in the palace.
With three drums beating, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Fengtian Hall wearing Gong's crown robe.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the books and seals and placed them on the treasure cases in front of the throne in Fengtian Hall.
Then, the ceremonial officer guided Zhu Di, who was wearing a royal robe, and Xu Miaoyun, who was wearing a formal dress, to enter the east gate of Fengtian.
This will happen.
Music sounded in Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun paid homage to Zhu Yuanzhang together.
Wait until Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun get up.
The music stops.
Immediately.
An official came out of the central door of the palace, stood outside the door, and shouted to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun: "There is a command!"
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun both knelt down slowly.
The official in charge read out the order and said: "The fourth legitimate son of His Majesty the current emperor, the eldest of the princes, King Yan Zhu Di, is appointed as the crown prince."
"In addition, Princess Yan's concubine Xu will be appointed as the Crown Princess, and I order you to observe the etiquette and salute her."
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun bowed down and thanked them. After getting up, they played music again.
Then.
The ceremony officer guided Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun into Fengtian Hall from the east gate of the hall, and music was played again in the hall.
After that, Guo An could no longer be seen.
However, according to the system, after entering Fengtian Hall.
An internal praise officer guided Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun to the throne, and the music stopped.
The internal praise officer knelt down to sing and read the book.
After the reading is finished, the praises are sung and the book is handed down.
Crown Prince Zhu Di and Crown Princess Xu Miaoyun knelt down to receive the book and handed it to the chamberlain.
He also praised the ceremony of singing and conferring seals, just like the etiquette of conferring books.
After singing praises and taking out the Gui, Zhu Di took out the Gui, fell down on his face, got up with Xu Miaoyun, and went out from the palace door.
Then, behind Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, there were deacons holding the festival book and the official seal following them out.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun returned to their original positions again, and music sounded all around.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun bowed four more times. After getting up, the music stopped.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came down from the east steps, and the music started playing.
When we arrived at Fengtianmen, the music stopped.
Guards of ceremony, drum music to welcome books, and seals to the Wenhua Hall.
Then, the official who held the festival came back.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the imperial edict in their hands and went to the Meridian Gate to read out the decree. Guo An was among the officials and greeted the edict respectfully.
Finally, the attendants returned and the ceremony was completed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang got up and returned to the palace.
Then, what gives Guo An a headache is that up to now, the canonization ceremony has not been completed.
Zhu Di, who became the Crown Prince, and Crown Princess Xu Miaoyun had to go to the inner hall to pay their respects.
After Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came out, the vassal kings, princes, and princes who had returned from various places were waiting on the steps of Wenhua Palace.
Now, it was Zhu Di who sat on his seat and accepted the congratulations.
The leader of the kings, King Zhou Zhu, led a group of vassal kings, personal guards, and county princes to celebrate Zhu Di.
"My younger brother, Zhu Rui, was overjoyed to meet his fourth brother, the Crown Prince, who was honored with a book and seal. He respectfully led all his brothers to congratulate His Highness."
After the congratulations, all the vassal princes, princes, and princes bowed four times to Zhu Di.
Similarly, a group of princesses, princesses, princesses and married women also saluted and congratulated Crown Princess Xu according to etiquette in front of Danchi.
At this point, the canonization ceremony is completed.
Seeing this, Guo An's head couldn't help but feel calm.
The dust has settled.
Now, he can be regarded as raising a crown prince, the future Yongle Emperor.
Without Jingnan, the direction of the Ming Dynasty should be very different.
A whole morning has passed.
By the time Guo An came out of the palace, following the crowd of courtiers like a torrent, his legs were already weak.
……
"I have met with His Highness to congratulate His Highness on his official canonization as Crown Prince!"
