Chapter 399: The Ming Dynasty is orthodox and a land of etiquette!
In Fengtian Square,
Hundreds of civil and military officials, thousands of foreign ministers, concubines in the harem, vassal kings from various places, descendants of the Tian family, relatives of the emperor and the country.
Anyone with a high status will stand here.
Although Zhu Ying held part of the ceremony in Zhengyang Square to celebrate with the people, given the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, it could only be a formality.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for concubines and concubines to appear in public.
The formal ceremony can only be completed in Fengtian Square.
Under Fengtianmen,
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing looked at each other and stood side by side.
As the drums played, Zhu Ying reached out and took off the red cap from Ye Yueqing's head. There was already a young eunuch beside him who lowered his head and picked up the tray to catch it.
This is the difference from the folk.
As the crown prince and concubine, the future queen, and the mother of the Ming Dynasty, she is not allowed to cover her face with red cloth during the sacrificial process.
Hong Gai left, revealing Ye Yueqing's delicate face.
In the past, Ye Yueqing never put on makeup, and she was seen without makeup.
Today, I put on a light rouge, pink and white, and applied fragrance to my lips.
A pair of bright eyes, watching quietly.
He is wearing a phoenix crown on his head, wearing a Xia pei, and a long shirt that stretches for more than three feet. Three pairs of golden boys and girls stand behind him, carrying clothes for him.
There are also twelve palace maids holding trays in their hands.
Gold, silver, jadeite, pearls and ivory symbolize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the world.
The whole grains, red dates and longan, as well as the meat of three kinds of animal sacrifices, symbolize the endless generations of heirs and the endless supply of melons and melons.
"Your Highness, please salute."
Beside, the eunuch reminded in a low voice.
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing looked at each other and then came back to their senses.
Zhu Ying stretched out her hand, palm facing up.
The leaves and moonlight are soft and tender, and they are held tightly.
The two immediately walked on the red carpet.
At that time, the music changed drastically.
During the 100th century of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, rituals and music collapsed. Zhu Yuanzhang has been trying to abandon the barbarians of the Yuan Dynasty and restore Han culture.
Therefore, the Five Rites system of the Ming Dynasty mostly inherited the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties, rather than the customs of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
The orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, the voice of China, is majestic.
Two bamboos, fourteen flutes, fourteen shengs, fourteen flutes, fourteen head pipes, ten zithers, eight pipas, eight twenty strings, six square horns, five drums, eight clappers, and twelve stick drums.
Si Li Eighteen, lyrics:
The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are bright, and peace is celebrated in all directions and seas.
In the Dragon Tower and Phoenix Pavilion, the curtains are opened and the emperor rises.
The Holy Spirit inspires the heaven and earth to ensure longevity and increase blessings.
King Xiangguang's energy is born, he is promoted to the throne, and he is always healthy and peaceful.
Following the music of drums and lyrics, the two of them walked to His Highness Fengtian.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang on the steps, he bowed and bowed deeply.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly,
Liu He held the imperial edict in his hand, took a step forward, and recited a congratulatory message:
A great country, a majestic China.
The Ming Dynasty was orthodox and a land of etiquette.
Heaven created the grass and the trees, so the three poles of Tao Jun unified the heaven and transformed them.
The five virtues were renewed, the three righteousnesses emerged one after another, the virtuous were controlled by materials, and the saints were enthroned. Therefore, the emperor's legacy was prosperous, the king's status was changed to glory, and the obscurity was changed to make it bright. This is the origin.
In the 100th year of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Guanlu changed his residence, Emperor Anhuang was sent to Yue, and the ancestral sacrifice was lost.
Therefore, the sun and moon are reopened, the rise and fall continue, and the decline of fortune is once again restored, and China is rebuilt.
Today we have the emperor Sun Xiongying, the eldest son of Emperor Ming Dynasty.
There is also Yue Qing, the daughter of the Ye family, who is dignified and virtuous, with both virtue and appearance.
Offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and report to ancestors.
Three books and six etiquette, the matchmaker is marrying.
Make good friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, perform the great ceremony of China, and establish a good relationship for a hundred years!
Finished the words,
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing bowed to the ground three times.
This time of worship is to worship the great Emperor Hongwu, to reopen the sun and moon, to regulate the world, and to establish orthodoxy.
The second prayer is to pray to parents for fertility. The ten months are difficult.
The three bows are for husband and wife to bow to each other. From then on, they respect each other as guests and look after each other with their white heads.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the steps slowly, walked in front of the two of them, and held them up with both hands.
Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing stood up and bowed slightly.
"We are very happy today. Our eldest grandson finally got married. Heirs will be passed down. The national affairs of the Ming Dynasty are not only related to our old Zhu family, but also to the entire Ming Dynasty."
"My eldest grandson is still young, so he may not be able to feel what we are saying now. When he reaches our age, he will be able to understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Da Sun heavily on the shoulder and said softly.
When Zhu Ying heard this, she felt deeply in her heart.
This is something that is difficult to feel in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty and now, it is really the case.
The so-called emperor means the combination of great power and power.
The rules and regulations of the world are all decided by the emperor.
A wise king will be the prosperous age, and a faint king will be the end of the world.
When there are too many foolish kings and the country is exhausted, it will be difficult to turn the tide.
Is Daming strong?
Very strong!
Today's Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the number one country in the world.
The Ming Dynasty Navy, the world's largest navy, the large-scale and famous Zheng He fleet was actually just a maritime mobile fleet of the powerful Ming Empire Navy.
Its total size is equivalent to ten Spanish Armadas.
There were more than two million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as muskets and artillery. No matter how strong the city was, it could not withstand three days of indiscriminate bombardment.
The Ming Dynasty has more than 60,000 people, making it the largest country in this era.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was directly under the jurisdiction of more than 12 million square miles. Counting the areas under indirect jurisdiction, the area was more than 20 million square miles.
This is because Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to take over those barren areas, as he felt that it would increase the burden on the national treasury.
This is the current Ming Dynasty.
And Zhu Ying will be the only master of the Ming Dynasty in the near future.
His words are truth, and his words are law.
Just like the Hongwu Emperor in front of me.
...
After the wedding, of course there was a banquet for the guests.
As for the folk custom of having a wedding ceremony, haha.
I don’t know who has the courage to go to the bridal chamber of the future Emperor and Empress of Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid I don't know how to write the word "death".
That is to say, in the process of toasting, two people, such as Qin Wang Zhu Cang and Jin Wang Zhu Fan, could even say something to ask their grandson to drink more.
Others, such as Zhu Di, Li Jinglong, or other vassal kings, must be respectful and respectful, and cannot go overboard in the slightest.
"Fourth Uncle, the royal nephew's wedding here has passed. I don't know when I will see you next time."
Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Di who was toasting opposite him and said with some emotion.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty had already gathered, and even half a million soldiers were stationed in Shanghai. They waited for the arrival of various generals and then took ships directly to Jeju Island.
Then, Jeju Island was used as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland.
The mainland of Japan is not small. It has four islands: Honshu, Shikoku, Hokkaido, and Kyushu.
There are more than 7,000 large and small islands in the periphery.
Its land area is equivalent to the size of Yunnan.
There are also many people in the population. According to the current situation in the early Ming Dynasty, the total population of the Japanese country is about five million.
Although you can't see one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country has natural island advantages.
I have lived on various islands for a long time, and I am particularly good at water battles. Plus there are so many islands, it is not something that can be overcome by just pushing all the way.
According to Zhu Ying's estimation, Kyushu Island can be occupied first.
But Ginjo, whom he has always been thinking about, is the only one on Honshu Island.
After passing Kyushu Island, there is Shikoku Island, and finally Honshu Island.
Only by conquering Honshu can the Ming Dynasty achieve a staged victory.
After Zhu Di made a toast, he seemed a little reluctant to say goodbye: "Thank you for your concern, Grandson. After all these years, I really don't know when I will be able to return to the capital again."
"In such a barbaric land, it is difficult to even have a pot of fine wine in the cup. It is only our duty to fight for the country. If we can open up the territory and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, let alone live in exile for several years, even for ten years.
It’s a no brainer.”
Zhu Di's words were so impassioned that they attracted sideways glances from those around him.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying seemed to hesitate and said: "This is really a hardship for my fourth uncle."
Later, he seemed to have thought about it and made up his mind: "If my fourth uncle doesn't want to go, the emperor's nephew will ask my grandpa to make other arrangements. With my fourth uncle's talents, he can be used wherever he is needed, and there is no need to go to the barbarian land of Japan."
"It saves my cousin Gao Chi from thinking about my fourth uncle every day, so that the whole family can be happy."
When Zhu Di heard this, his face became stiff and he didn't know how to speak.
He didn't know whether Zhu Ying was joking or testing, or whether he really had this idea.
I could only freeze there for a long while.
Zhu Ying said with a smile: "The emperor's nephew is overly worried. I heard that my fourth uncle likes the military life the most. I think that for my fourth uncle, conquering the Japanese country should be an unparalleled thing."
"The emperor's nephew is here to wish his fourth uncle a successful victory."
After that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Zhu Di's face was red and his neck was thick. He didn't know whether he was drunk or flushed.
I didn’t say anything at the moment and continued drinking.
This little episode is just a part of the banquet, but as the protagonist of today and a big wedding, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally noticed it too.
But the sound was so noisy that I couldn't hear clearly what was being said.
Next to him, Tang He said at the right time: "His Royal Highness Taisun is indeed smart and intelligent. He had a great time chatting with the vassal kings over there, and they were all in harmony."
"Such a scene is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty!"
Listening to Tang He's sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in approval.
Especially when I saw the eldest grandson and the fourth son toasting each other twice, I felt even more gratified.
The palms of the hands and the heart and liver are also meat.
The fourth child is the one who is most like him, and Zhu Yuanzhang also clearly understands that the fourth child likes fighting the most and is good at fighting.
In fact, among the many descendants, he is the most worried about the fourth child.
Because he is so much like me, not only in appearance, but also in personality.
This was already very obvious when the eldest son passed away and the grandson was appointed.
Without his eldest grandson, he was vaguely worried about the future situation of his fourth son, so he went to talk to his direct grandson Yunwen about the feudal kingship.
He was just worried that the fourth child would be attacked after he left.
It's a bit redundant now. When the eldest grandson comes back, Zhu Yuanzhang still feels that the arrangement of the vassal king is very reliable.
In particular, methods such as overseas nation-building basically solved the root cause of the royal family.
Although some descendants were dissatisfied, they saved a lot of effort.
...
"Is that the grandson of Ming Dynasty? He is so domineering."
This was the first time Pi'erma Heima saw Zhu Ying, and he thought to himself that he really was a worthy scholar despite his great reputation.
Zhu Ying's appearance and temperament are all very much in line with Pi'er Ma Heima's imagination.
He had wanted to meet Zhu Ying a long time ago, but he never had the chance.
Although he applied to Tianjie Temple many times, he was rejected every time.
As the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that everyone can see him. Without His Majesty's will, Tianjie Temple would not even dare to convey it.
Naturally, Zhu Ying actually understood this, but he did not feel the need to meet Pirma Heima alone.
Even if Pilma Heima is the grandson of Timur, even if Timur is now at the height of his power over Samarkand, there is a vague scene of rivaling the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying, who knows the direction of history, knows very well that the current Timurid Empire can only be a flash in the pan in the waves of history.
Without the inheritance of civilized systems, how can we survive for a long time only by force?
When Pierma Heima was looking at Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying seemed to have some feeling and glanced at Pierma Heima.
But he quickly looked away.
He knew clearly that now was not the time to meet.
Maybe Zhu Ying doesn't understand love, but she understands one sentence: What you can't get is always in turmoil.
He just wants to hang on to the horse's black hemp until the time is right, and then plant a seed.
This seed may be useless now, but more than ten years later, after Timur's death, it will grow into a towering tree.
"His Royal Highness Taisun looked at me. Look, His Highness Taisun just looked at me specifically."
Pi'erma's sharp black eyes immediately caught Zhu Ying's gaze.
At this moment, he seemed very excited, like a star-chasing teenager.
The Mongolian foreign minister, who drank several pots of Ming Dynasty palace wine, turned his head in confusion: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
Pi'erma was speechless, but he still picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking longingly.
...
After dark, Zhu Di quickly left the palace, and the nagging voice next to him finally disappeared.
Only then did Zhu Di take a long breath.
He really couldn't stand his third brother Zhu Fan.
Since the last time I was at the court meeting, I felt happy because of the ridicule. Every time I got the opportunity, I would sarcastically and never let go.
Even when he returned home after the show just now, he followed closely and chattered endlessly.
If there weren't too many looks from around him, he would really want to pull up his sleeves and follow him to fight.
"Maybe I should have promised Zhu Ying at the banquet."
An idea suddenly popped into Zhu Di's mind.
Because at this moment, Zhu Di discovered that not only himself, but also his damn third brother would go with him to conquer the Japanese country.
In other words, it will be difficult for him to get rid of his third brother Zhu Fan in the next few years.
However, thinking of Zhu Ying's words at the banquet just now, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Don't look at it at the banquet, he was exhausted.
However, this frustration came directly from Zhu Ying, which meant that, to a certain extent, Zhu Ying no longer thought of ways to target himself.
Zhu Di is happiest today than anything else.
If you really want to think of ways to plot against yourself, then your trip to Japan will be full of dangers.
In comparison, Zhu Fan's side is nothing.
Besides, after the Ming Dynasty, you still dare to make such a fuss with yourself.
Zhu Di sneered.
Hey, let's try it and see whose fist is harder.
...
In front of Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying stopped slightly at this moment.
The drinks at the banquet could not make him even half drunk.
However, he knew that the people in the palace might make him hangover all night long.
