In the winter of the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, October 21.

On the day of Emperor Hongwu's life, Zhu Yunyu, the emperor's legitimate grandson, was appointed as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, received seals and gold books, and was bowed by officials and ministers of the royal family.

Then the Emperor's Imperial Lord, the Emperor's Grandson Chejia, and the royal family members, and 76 central officials. As for the Taimiao to worship ancestors, and then to the Grand Sacrifice Hall to pay tribute to the heaven and earth.

The warm sun in winter is clear and the wind is clear and the clouds are light.

Zhu Yunqiu, who had just changed into the crown prince's clothes and was wearing a light yellow ball dragon robe, knelt in the hall with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This ceremony was not a temporary intention, but the old man had ordered people to prepare in advance. Three hundred and twenty Han generals opened the way with golden whips, bronzes, weapons, flags, banners, palace fans, umbrella covers, and eight gold items.

The main seat in the hall is placed, behind the God of the Emperor God are the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder tablets. In the ranking, the luxurious ritual vessels such as silk, jade, gold and other goods, as well as whole cows, sheep, pigs and other melons, fruits, wine and vegetables.

Outside the hall, there are 262 ritual musicians, including 16 kinds of chimes, chimes, chimes, and more than 60 instruments, Zhonghe Shao music composed of 262 musicians, which are arranged neatly and solemnly.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the old man who was kneeling for the world with fear and fear, and almost burst into tears. The old man secretly prepared everything. It was his birthday, but he could imagine how to make his grandson the protagonist today.

No wonder the old man kept saying that he had a bad appetite a few days ago and was eating vegetarian food. Three days before the emperor worshipped the sky, he could not drink alcohol or eat meat.

Grandpa Emperor! After three bows and nine bows, Zhu Yunxiu helped the old man stand up.

Grandson, our father and father knelt down together! The old man knelt down again, and in front of him were the tablet of the Emperor God and the God of the Two Emperors of Yan and Huang.

Minister, Prime Minister Zhu Yuanzhang, respecting the heaven and earth.

My minister was born in a commoner on the right side of Huai, and was born in troubled times, with his flesh and blood floating in troubled times, and was in Seoul, Guizhou.

I will never abandon it, and the heaven and earth will bless you. When I was in my prime, I joined the army, and I will die and seek to live in death. I will be given a foundation and wealth.

After more than seventeen years of fighting, Yuan Dynasty was the lord of China in the Ming Dynasty. A commoner also ascended the throne to the emperor.

For twenty-five years, I have been trembling with fear of being frivolous in virtue and angered by God. Fortunately, I am merciful to the Emperor and the Empress, and I will never let down the support of the people in the world.

In the 25th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I am old and fortunately there are successors to the Emperor Ming Dynasty. Today, I appointed my grandson Zhu Yunyu as the crown prince, and passed on the country and the country. I only hope that the heaven, earth, sun and moon can protect my great Ming Dynasty and the country will be forever.

The old man kowtowed while reciting, as if he thought about the difficulty of starting a business and the danger of fighting, and he was choking in his words.

Then, the old man lowered his head and secretly wiped the corner of his eyes. Grandson, it’s your turn to worship!

yes!

Zhu Yunhuang sorted out the crown on his head and kowtowed to the sky.

My minister, Zhu Yunxiu, told the heaven and earth. My stupid man was fortunately favored by the emperor's ancestors, and the heaven and earth were not abandoned, so he was able to hold a throne.

Now, like the emperor, I am the emperor, I am diligent in the country and the people of the world, and I am afraid to relax and slack.

My minister Zhu Yunyu advises the heaven and earth that the ancestors of China will make the prosperous Ming Dynasty famous in history. I hope that the ancestors of heaven and earth will bless me with good weather and prosperity in the Ming Dynasty and peace in the country.

After saying that, Zhu Yunxiu bowed again, and his piety was so great.

Then, the two of them stood up, burned incense in the incense burner, and sacrificed to heaven.

Then, Zhu Yunxiu supported the old man and walked slowly to the back of the hall gate. All the officials from the royal family and the officials outside the door knelt down to greet him.

Grandpa, be careful of the threshold! Zhu Yunxiu whispered to remind him.

You are as tall as your grandfather! Zhu Yuanzhang reached out to touch Zhu Yunxi's head, and you will be taller than your grandfather in the future.

Zhu Yun smiled and planted it well! Our Zhu family has no slut!

Ha! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, the higher you grow, the closer you are to the sky, do you understand?

Zhu Yunxiu understood and straightened his chest. Grandpa and grandson would support the heaven of Ming Dynasty!

Let’s go! The old man holds his grandson’s hand, goes home, and goes to drink!

Then, it was not until the evening that the emperor and the crown prince returned to the Forbidden City.

At this time, a banquet had been set up in the hall of Jinshen.

Zhu Yuanzhang was simple by nature. The last time he had a grand banquet was when he ascended the throne and became emperor.

The old man sat upright on the dragon chaise, and Zhu Yunxiu was at the bottom of the head. The dishes of the two were roughly the same, but Zhu Yunxiu had less braised pork and less pheasant on the table.

On this occasion, the dishes of the emperor and the crown prince are all subject to standard regulations. The dishes of the royal family, lords and officials in the hall are also distributed according to their identities.

Like Zhu Di, the King of Yan, his dishes were less chicks than Zhu Yun's, and a plate of red cherries were missing.

Stop making trouble for those false gifts, eat them quickly, it will be cold in a while! Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile, "We have the final say for today's birthday, what kind of courtesy is not polite!"

In the words of the emperor, the royal ministers in the palace came to the seat. All the officials were still unable to let go, while the royal family and the warriors started to eat and drink.

Grandpa Emperor, you are tired today, use more! Zhu Yunxiu smiled at the old man.

The old man pushed the venison meat on his own table over. The roast is OK, but our teeth are not good and we can't bite it. You can try it!

The venison was obviously carefully roasted and fragrant. Zhu Yunyu took a bite and it was so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Eat more, eat more, you will still be a little thin!"

Grandpa, why don’t you eat it? Zhu Yunxiu looked at the old man. He never moved his chopsticks, but drank wine in a small sip.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Oh, it's our birthday, but the Ministry of Rites still has people from the 12th Prison, so they don't have the same food we like to eat. These things look good and not delicious!"

What do you want to eat? My grandson asks the chef to make it for you!

The old man’s daily diet is home-cooked dishes with Huaixi flavors. In his eyes, these delicacies are far less pleasant than a home-cooked dish.

Don’t worry about us, we can still be hungry as the emperor! You eat first, and you have to go down to toast later! Although you are the crown prince, you are also our legitimate grandson. You have to take the lead in this table! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Then, the grandparents and grandchildren talked for a while. Zhu Yunyu, surrounded by several eunuchs, slowly walked towards the ministers with a golden cup.

However, while walking, Zhu Yunqi turned his head and whispered a few words to the turtle. After the latter was slightly stunned, he turned around and went out.

Please see the Crown Prince!

As soon as he arrived at the vassal kings, he was headed by the two kings of Qin and Jin, and all the vassal kings knelt down to greet him.

Second uncle and third uncle, today is the old man’s birthday, so we don’t talk so much about it! Zhu Yunxiu smiled and helped the two of them up. Nephew, I’ll give you a cup!

I dare not! Since Zhu Yunyu is the crown prince, then they have the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. Zhu Yunyu can be easy-going, but they cannot take it seriously.

Even the little princes who were in love with Zhu Yunyu in the past, they looked at Zhu Yunyu in a proper manner and did not dare to transgress at all.

King Chen, King Tang, King Ying, Grandpa Huang made an exception. You guys can have a drink today! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

The three little princes smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass in a regular manner. The monkeys of the past have now become little adults.

Everyone had small wine glasses of two or three cents in their hands, but the King of Yan had a half tael of gold cups in his hands.

I, I can’t drink the small cup, don’t blame His Highness the Grand Prince! Zhu Di said with a smile.

I heard that my fourth uncle has a good alcohol tolerance and will learn it carefully the next day! Zhu Yunyu held the wine glass and said to the kings of all the vassals, "Today's old man's birthday, our family will be reunited, and my nephew will do it first."

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu felt that his calf was being held.

When I looked down, I saw that it was the old man’s youngest son, Zhu Nan.

Brother Huang, I want to drink too! Zhu Nan said angrily.

Being arrogant! The King of Qin scolded and said angrily to the eunuch who dared not step forward behind Zhu Nan, "How do you serve me?"

It's okay! Zhu Yunxiu saw that Zhu Nan was a little scared by the King of Qin shouting, and leaned over and said, "You want to drink too?" You are still young and can't drink it!" As he said that, he thought about it, dipped some wine with his fingers and sent it to Zhu Nan's mouth.

The latter hesitated for a moment, licked it, and then his little face twisted into a ball, and he said with his tongue, "Spicy!"

Hahaha! The vassal kings all laughed.
Chapter completed!
