Hearing this, the six-pound little face looked very surprised.
He is still young and doesn't know what the names in front of him mean, let alone what it means for him to kneel here.
"The ones enshrined above are the ancestors of my Zhu family!" Zhu Yunxi said from the side, "They are the eldest relatives of your ancestors and father, your ancestors!"
It seemed that Liu Jin understood something and kowtowed obediently, "My grandson Liu Jin, kowtow to all our ancestors!"
"Haha!" His look made the old man smile.
"Ancestor!" Liu Jin raised his head, hesitated for a while, then blinked and asked, "Them, why are they there..."
The adults understood what he was asking, because at his age, he didn't know what death was!
"They have all gone to heaven!" The old man pointed to the sky with a smile and said lovingly to Liu Jin, "One day, my ancestor will also go to heaven. At that time, if you want to see your ancestor again, you can only come to this place.
Kowtow to the ancestors!”
"No! Grandson, no!" Suddenly, Liu Jin pulled his neck and cried loudly, "My grandson doesn't want my ancestor to go to heaven, my grandson wants his ancestor to be here forever!" Crying, he suddenly got into the old man's arms, "
Ancestor, don’t leave, my grandson won’t allow you to leave!”
"Look!" The old man held six pounds in his arms and smiled at the memorial tablet of his ancestors. "We, the descendants of the Zhu family, are so filial!"
"Father, in a blink of an eye, Chongba has become old!" At this time, the old man's deep voice continued to sound, "In a blink of an eye, he has reached this age. There are few people in our Zhu family who live long. We can live to this age.
It’s all the blessings of our ancestors.”
"Although we are the emperor now and have people shouting "Long Live" every day, we know that there is no such person in the world. Your Chongba is still in his twilight years and is about to die!"
"When you get old, you have to look after your children and grandchildren."
"This property should be handed over to our descendants of the Zhu family!"
As he said that, the old man turned to look at Zhu Yunxi.
"Dasun, do you know why we have to perform the Zhengdan Dynasty at the Imperial Ancestral Temple today?"
Zhu Yunxi kowtowed, a little choked with sobs, "My grandson already knows!"
"Don't kneel to us!" The old man pointed at the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Zhu family, and his tone suddenly became more serious, "Kneel to the ancestors!"
Zhu Yunxi turned around, faced the ancestors of the Zhu family, and knelt down solemnly.
"Grandpa Huang..."
"What are we asking you? What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense!" the old man said loudly.
Zhu Yunxi could only suppress his heart for the time being, and knelt down with great piety.
The old man slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, then handed the sword to someone else with the scabbard in his hand.
Snap!
A sharp thrust!
The severe pain caused Zhu Yunxi's body to shake. He could only grit his teeth and not make any sound.
"Tell me, can you keep the family business?" the old man asked loudly.
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi replied loudly.
"We didn't hear it!"
Bang, the old man did it again.
Cold sweat fell down Zhu Yunxi's temples.
"My grandson can hold on!"
"The ancestors didn't hear!"
"My grandson can, can protect the Ming Dynasty's family business!"
"Remember, this is what you said personally in front of us, in front of the ancestors of our Zhu family!"
The old man's scabbard hit Zhu Yunxi's back again.
“One, don’t be arrogant and extravagant!”
“Two, don’t be lazy in your administration!”
"Three, don't get close to villains!"
"Four, please remember the fourth rule!" The old man shouted again, "No matter when the time comes, you can never forget your roots!"
"Our Zhu family are farmers, and you are the descendants of farmers! No matter how long it takes, we must remember the origin of our Zhu family! What you want to do is better than those emperors of noble birth in the past dynasties!"
"Remember not!"
"My grandson remembers it!"
"Knife!" the old man shouted.
Afterwards, the sword was returned to its sheath and the old man gently placed it beside Zhu Yunxi.
"Take it!" the old man continued, "Jiangshan Sheji is given to you, and our knife handle is also given to you! From now on, you make the decision in this family. If anyone disobeys, I will chop him into pieces!"
Zhu Yunxi held the knife in both hands, with tears in his eyes, "Grandfather and grandson know it!"
"Good boy!" The old man personally helped Zhu Yunxi wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and smooth the robe on his back. "If I hit you, it will hurt my heart. But if I don't hit you, you won't remember what we said!"
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi choked, "Why did you suddenly...?"
"I'm old!" The old man patted his face and said with a smile, "When you reach the age where you can enjoy happiness, you have to retire and rest!" He said with another smile, "We are old and immortal, and you are limited in many things.
! Just leave it all to you. Anyway, it’s a day early and a day late, and everyone is here during the Chinese New Year!”
With that said, he pulled Zhu Yunxi up and said, "Let's go outside. Let them see their new master!"
The figures of the old man and Zhu Yunxi appeared in the sight of the vassal king and his ministers. Everyone's heads were lowered in humility.
Many people noticed when they lowered their heads that the old man's sword, which had never left his body and had been with him all his life, was now worn on the waist of the emperor's grandson.
Snap!
A loud crack of the whip bloomed on the white marble steps. Pu Bucheng waved the whip in an arc, resounding in all directions.
"The meeting begins!"
The dragon chair was moved to the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and all the civil and military officials filed in and lined up solemnly.
The owner of the dragon chair, which represents the supreme imperial power, has not yet sat down.
On the square, there was a group of civil servants, a group of warriors, and the vassal king was waiting at the front.
After a long time, thousands of officials waited for the battle to be completed. The old man looked around and spoke slowly.
"We still remember that it was like this the day we ascended the throne!"
"There is no sign of the palace yet, but in the newly paved square, thousands of people are standing, watching me sit on this chair and become the emperor!"
After the words fell, some of the distinguished veterans showed excitement.
"Some people say that the emperor's power is granted by heaven, but we don't recognize this!" The old man continued, "Our position as emperor was obtained with our own blood with a group of hard-working brothers!"
"We know why the world is bad, and we also know how the world can get better! That's why we have killed many corrupt officials over the years!"
"We don't care what others say about us. We just want to be worthy of the people who died after us and the people who survived the troubled times!"
"That's right!" At this point, the old man suddenly changed his title, "I, in these years, I have never talked about ostentation, let alone any falsehood."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"In a blink of an eye, I'm old!" A few of the old man's white hairs flew under his crown, "I'm old enough, I'm going to see my ancestors soon. I'm not afraid of old age, and I'm not afraid of death. I'm a human being, and one day I'm a human being.
!”
"What I'm afraid of is that there will be no one in the country!"
"Fortunately, your little master, my direct grandson, is a good material to be the emperor!"
"In this life of a person, the old goes and the new comes. Day and night, it's all reincarnation!"
"My coronation ceremony was extremely shabby, but I was full of ambitions to reach the sky!"
"The same goes for our eldest grandson's grand ceremony today!"
After saying that, the old man paused, and in the face of countless complicated eyes, he continued to say loudly, "I, today I want to give way!"
"I, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, declare this to the world in front of heaven and earth, the ancestors of China, the emperors of all dynasties, the ancestors of the Zhu family, and you, my sons, and my ministers!"
"I pass the throne of emperor on to the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi."
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi cried and knelt down, "You can't! How can your grandson be so virtuous..."
The old man smiled and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, "Dasun, you are our chosen successor, this seat is yours!"
As he said that, he walked to the side and came over holding a seal in both hands.
"Reach out!"
Zhu Yunxi raised his hands high.
The old man continued loudly, "I have been ordered by heaven to live a long and prosperous life! My throne is passed on to my grandson Yunxi. From now on, I will be the emperor and I will be the son of the great tomorrow!"
