Of course Yunxi also said: "Zhang Aiqing is exempt from courtesy.?"
Yunxi also probably knew that Zhang Xiaodong's third son, the youngest son, would be nearly 20 years old this year, and wanted him to teach in the martial arts hall. But he thought about it again, it would be better if the back door could not be opened.
, it would be better to promote the eldest son to become an official, so I didn’t mention it.
Then Yunxi asked Zhang Xiaodong to go down.
The next day, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Minister of Rites entered the palace and discussed with Yunxi the matter of worshiping heaven and earth on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. It was also the first time in the first year of Jianye to worship Zhu Yuanzhang and the ancestors of the Zhu family.
Worshiping the heaven and earth, one's ancestors, the gods of society and the gods of Ji can only be done by the monarchs of independent countries. For example, the monarchs of feudal states who were conferred by Yunhui also established the state of Ji, but they could not worship heaven and earth. Only the 'Emperor'
Only then can you worship heaven and earth. How can you, a monarch of a feudal country, do this? So this is very important, and it also officially means that Yunxi is the emperor.
According to ancient rules, if the emperor of heaven and earth dies or is deposed before it is his turn to worship the emperor, he is not officially considered the emperor. For example, Liu He became the emperor from the king of Changyi, and then became the Marquis of Haihun from the emperor.
.It is also the same as when a woman in ancient times got married, if her parents-in-law were already dead when she got married, and she died without worshiping her parents-in-law’s grave, she was not considered a member of her husband’s family, and the body had to be returned to her parents’ family.
Of course, now that we have reached the end of the feudal era, these rules for the emperor no longer count. Later, Zhu Youjian's father died after being emperor for a month, didn't he still have a formal temple name? But worshiping the heaven is still very important.
matter.
Yunxi hated cumbersome procedures, but the procedure for offering sacrifices to the heavens was carefully determined by Zhu Yuanzhang based on the procedures of offering sacrifices to the heavens in previous dynasties. Yunxi thought that it would only be done once a year at most, so he followed the procedures honestly.
But even so, people from the Ministry of Rites must make arrangements with Yunxi in advance, and officials from the Ministry of Rites must accompany him on the day to prevent mistakes.
Yunxi didn't say anything, he just listened, then took out the etiquette part of "Huidian", wrote out everything he wanted to pay attention to, and then beat them away.
After listening to the etiquette all morning, Yunxi felt dizzy and had no intention of doing anything else, so he returned to Kunning Palace.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Xiyao probably had something to tell Yunxi, but seeing that Yunxi didn't seem very impatient, she didn't say anything until Yunxi had eaten and took a nap.
Chance said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty." She used a formal title.
Of course Yunxi asked: "What's the matter?"
Xiyao said: "Your Majesty, my eldest brother will come to the palace to see me tomorrow morning. Is Your Majesty free to meet my eldest brother tomorrow?" He didn't want his brother to come back and forth twice.
Yunxi thought for a while and felt that there would be nothing to do tomorrow morning, so he nodded and agreed.
The next morning, Yunxi naturally met with Xue Xiran. As for the Xue family, Yunxi naturally wanted to be promoted. The Xue family was not as big and deep-rooted as the Chang family. If Chang was promoted, both Chang Sen brothers would be very capable.
As a human being, I guess Yunxi would never be at ease; of course, if the Chang family brothers were as capable as Chang Mao, they probably wouldn't survive until Yunxi succeeded to the throne. Didn't Chang Mao die while Zhu Biao was still alive?
Really? Although there is a reason for the incident, it is not certain that Zhu Yuanzhang just followed the trend.
So Yunxi encouraged Xue Xiran, explained the matter clearly to him, rewarded him with many things, and then asked him to talk to Xiyao again.
In the next few days, Yunxi spent time discussing with officials from the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple about offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Beiping City.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and Yunxi in the capital is spending three days in silence in preparation for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and to ancestors. However, Zhu Di in Peiping has not become a separate monarch of a feudal state and cannot build a state and an ancestral temple, so he can only do it on his own.
Pay homage to your ancestors in the royal palace.
Then Zhu Di came out to talk to Dao Yan and other confidants, and said: "Who would have thought that Zheng Ci would also be sent on an errand by His Majesty? I originally thought of calling him here to be a long history, and he would also have a confidant after the enfeoffment. Now you also have it in the mansion.
I know that most of them are warriors, and you are the only one who can discuss things. But His Majesty unexpectedly asked me to leave. And I still want to go to Srivijaya to become the king, so I guess I won’t come."
Dao Yan said: "Although Zheng Ci is outstanding and cannot be matched by the old monk, there are many outstanding people in the world, and this one is no different."
"Your Highness can search for talents who have not yet served as official officials in the Chief Envoy Department of Peking. In a place as big as Peking, there are always talented people who are not satisfied with it. But your Highness must be quick. The old monk heard that your Majesty also has to deal with everything after the Chinese New Year.
After that, we have to search for the remaining talents in the wild, maybe by then all the outstanding talents will go to the imperial court."
Zhu Di sighed slightly. Although he was not thinking about rebellion now, he was still thinking about how many talents he would have to become a feudal country in the future.
The warriors need not worry. Zhu Di has been guarding Beiping for seventeen years and has gone to the north of the Great Wall several times to fight. There are many suitable warriors. Even if the soldiers guarded by the three kings of Yan are not willing to follow Zhu Di, these officials who are favored by Zhu Di will definitely be willing.
But the civil servants had no choice. Zhu Yuanzhang did not give his sons the power to appoint civil servants, so he could only contact civil servants who had served as officials in Peking. Most of them were either dead or serving as senior officials in the court, and they were definitely not willing to follow him.
Zhu Di started from scratch. But he had such a suitable talent, and he was poached by Yunxi. The only one who had the ability was Dao Yan, and Chang Shi Gecheng was pretty good, but the others were not good.
In the end, Zhu Di could only agree to Dao Yan's suggestion: to collect talents who have not yet entered official service in Peiping as a talent reserve.
Sun Shao's family, who was an official in King Yan's Zhongwei, also celebrated the Lantern Festival. However, during the Chinese New Year, people from a large family gathered together to celebrate the New Year. The Lantern Festival was celebrated in their own small family, so Sun Shao, his son Sun Rui, and his wife Wang
Tan Wei'er and his daughter-in-law Tan Wei'er spend the holidays together.
Tan Wei'er asked casually: "Eunuch, if His Highness King Yan gets a feudal kingdom from now on, will our family go with him or stay in Peiping?" After Sun Shao learned about Tan Wei'er's background, he briefly discussed this with his son.
The daughter-in-law has an extraordinary background, so Tan Wei'er can talk about this matter openly and openly at home.
Sun Shao said: "His Royal Highness King Yan knows that I am the person on the nameplate? Why would you want me to follow him?"
Tan Wei'er then said: "Eunuch, isn't my great-uncle over there quite admired by His Highness King Yan? I guess my uncle's family will be taken away by His Highness King Yan. So should our family follow our uncle or stay in Peking?"
Sun Shao thought for a moment and said: "Ignore him, he is them, and we are us. But what is said is that we were promoted by Mr. Qiu Fu, and Mr. Qiu is good with His Highness King Yan, so he will probably go with us.
of."
"But I can't say for sure. Forget it, let's just follow Mr. Qiu. Let's do whatever Mr. Qiu does."
