"Your Highness, I almost missed you." Outside the Chengyun Hall, an old man with a white beard in brocade clothes was crying like a child. He was the Grand Tutor Ding Kuichu.
Behind the old man, stood a young man in white clothes and black hair, in his early twenties. This man had a delicate and elegant face, with an elegant and fairylike temperament. He was Zhu Hengjia's son-in-law, Wang Gui, the guest of honour. At that time, Zhu Hengjia was watching He was so good-looking that he married his daughter Zhu Huiyuan, the head of Lingchuan County, to him.
Wang Gui also burst into tears. There is no other way, this is a narrow escape!
Zhu Hengjia quickly comforted: "Thank you for your hard work, dear ladies. Please tell me about the situation in Fuzhou."
Ding Kuichu straightened his waist: "Serving the prison country, why should you be afraid of hard work? The puppet emperor Longwu died in Tingzhou on August 28th."
He is worthy of being a high official. As soon as Zhu Hengjia opened his mouth, Taifu Ding knew what Zhu Hengjia wanted to ask and immediately reported the death of Emperor Longwu.
Zhu Hengjia was ecstatic in his heart but sad in appearance: "Alas! The king of Tang was also Gu's great-uncle. He was diligent in royal affairs and unyielding, but he died at the hands of his captors. It's really a shame! Gu wants to set up an altar in Guilin to honor the king of Tang!"
"Your Highness's kindness is comparable to that of the sea and the sky! I respect you all." Upon hearing Zhu Hengjia's words, Ding Kuichu and Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down on the ground and praised him endlessly.
"Okay, my dear friends, please get up quickly. Tell me, how did you escape from Fuzhou?"
"Prisoner, this time we have a narrow escape from death!" Taifu Ding began to recite his long poem of bitterness, "That day, there was a strong wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and a hundred thousand troops were chasing after the two ministers. Countless. The next time, the Tatar sword slashed at the minister's neck. The minister shouted to His Royal Highness to protect him, and he immediately averted the danger and turned the danger into safety. Once again, the captive knights had arrived beside the minister. Thinking that it was inevitable, the minister looked up to the sky and screamed, Oh my God! I am not afraid of death, but I can't repay His Majesty the Supervisor Kingdom for his kindness! As a result, God took pity on me, and the day turned into night, and I couldn't see my fingers. Only the two of them escaped by chance! Once again... In short, I and others were able to escape from the tiger's mouth. It was all thanks to the great blessings of His Highness Jianguo, and the loyalty of the ministers, and I was moved by God's blessing. Only then did the crisis turn into safety and I was able to see Jianguo."
Ding Kuichu was so loud that Wang Gui, who was behind him, turned red with embarrassment. He was not as shameless as Taifu Ding. The real situation was that as soon as the two of them heard that the Qing army was approaching Fuzhou, they immediately ran away, running for three hundred miles, while the Qing Dynasty Jun was so preoccupied with chasing Emperor Longwu that he had no time to pay attention to them, so he escaped back. There was no danger.
Zhu Hengjia was angry and funny. The old man was showing his merits to himself. He was still thinking about the matter of Feng Jingbei Bo. When he sent Ding Kuichu to negotiate peace with Emperor Longwu, he had promised that if the peace negotiation could be concluded, he would be granted the title. Jingbei Bo.
But the problem is that Emperor Longwu died before you could reach an agreement. How can you be granted a title without merit? None of those marquises and earls who were granted the title were killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. You can't break the rules!
Zhu Hengjia said sternly: "Ding Qing, you have suffered the same hardships and suffered the same loneliness. Keep it in your heart. However, there is no precedent in this dynasty for conferring a title without merit. If you want to be granted the title of uncle, you need to make more contributions."
Ding Kuichu's face turned red and he felt disappointed. After a moment, he bit his steel teeth and said, "I am willing to serve as an envoy to the country again?"
Zhu Hengjia was stunned: "Where do you want to send your envoy?"
"I want to go to Hunan and Guizhou to recruit and surrender He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi, Zeng Yi, and Zhang Yao. These four people are all old ministers of Longwu and have a long history with me. When Longwu dies, the four of them will have nothing to rely on, so they must be willing to submit. Your Highness.
Zhu Hengjia secretly lamented that Mr. Ding was over sixty years old, but he still cared so much about fame and wealth. There was no way, everyone in the world said that leisure was good, but the title could not be forgotten.
"So, thank you for your hard work, Master. When will you set off?"
"I will leave tomorrow."
??
The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military service.
Zhu Hengjia decided to worship Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng with great fanfare. The scene should be grand, so that everyone in the world would know how good he was to Emperor Longwu!
Only in this way can I inherit his political legacy. No, in this way I can better express my grief for losing my great-uncle!
Although the tablet says it is Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty, he was an emperor after all. Zhu Hengjia instructed to worship according to the rites of an emperor.
On October 11, the 19th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia led his ministers to the Ancestral Temple.
Liu Xin, the minister of Taichang Temple in the Ministry of Rites, arranged everything in an orderly manner.
One hundred and twenty-eight music and dance students entered their posts, playing roles such as deacons and salutes.
The incense, blessings, sacrifices, silk and other objects used for sacrifices have also been placed.
There is a case in front of the tablets of Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng.
On the official desk of Emperor Longwu, there are three jue, one tea, two soup, two rice, four vegetables, one roasted meat, one roasted liver, one meat and bone, one oil cake, one horn, one chestnut, one jujube, and round eyes. One, one lychee, one walnut, two steamed buns, one mutton, two hog meat, one juice pot, one wine pot.
Empress Zeng's formal case was the same as that of Emperor Longwu except that she did not put a wine pot but a teapot.
In addition, Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng jointly set up a cow (calf), a sheep, and a pig before the official case.
Then place a section of silk fabrics forward.
Place one incense stick and two candles in front of the silk fabric.
There is a bottle table on the left to hold wine bottles, and a blessing table on the right to hold blessing boards. Congratulatory messages are written on the blessing boards.
The etiquette officer led Zhu Hengjia and all the officials to perform nine bows: "Ji Shou", "Dunshou", "Empty Head", "Zhen", "Ji Shou", "Obvious Prayer", "Qi Shou" and "Praise". "Bow", "Bow down".
Zhu Hengjia personally wrote memorial inscriptions to Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng:
On October 11, the 19th year of Chongzhen in the Wei Dynasty, the King of Jingjiang sent officials to pay homage to the late Tang King Zhu Yujian, and he wrote a message in front of the soul of Princess Zeng:
Woohoo! The Tartars show off their ferocity and rob the red sheep. They fight against the outside world and secure the inside, and a generation of British kings. Wu Tian is not afraid, and I am the king of Tang. I am so weak in virtue, following the king's legacy, and crying in front of Xuan, how painful it is!
p>
In the past, slaves were raging in China, and the king used the honor of the clan to defend Fujian, Jiangxi, Hu, and Guang. When he was in danger, the world knew the hard work of my king. After two years of hard work, the Ming Dynasty had no worries about its fall. The captives and cavalry invaded, and beacons were everywhere.
Burned in Jiuzhou. With a meager body, I raised an army in Guangxi. I wanted to share weal and woe with the king and protect the country of our ancestors. Before we achieved any merit, it suddenly became a national disaster. How painful!
When the king was surrounded, Yi Ran was not afraid. He swore a generous oath, and the soldiers heard it and became energized. He drew his sword and fought, but the Yi and Di were frightened by it. All the ministers who accompanied him died for the country. Such a brave decision by a minister has been rare since ancient times. Juyang Yi
The fierceness is comparable to that of the enemy. But there are many captives and he is outnumbered. However, the king still draws his sword to kill the enemy and dies due to exhaustion. At this time, the war drums are in full mourning, the stars and the moon are dim, the sky is dark, and the wind in the wilderness is sad and weak.
Suddenly zero, the leakage from Zhejiang does not stop, and the sky is loyal to the sky, and the heaven and earth are sad and weeping for it!
Although he has little virtue, he is willing to carry on his legacy. He builds ancestral temples and squares, and the state has a ceremony to praise loyalty; he discusses posthumous titles and sympathies, and he has the heart to show his merits. The king's ambitions and achievements have been ordered to be handed over to the history museum. Woohoo! Although the king is dead, he will be immortal after death.
.Leave a famous name for hundreds of generations, and spread loyalty for thousands of years. The soul will return and enjoy it.
After the sacrifice, Zhu Hengjia calculated the cost and spent thousands of dollars, but he still spent three thousand taels of silver. He couldn't help lamenting: The emperor has no trivial matters, he can't afford to die, he can't afford to die!
