The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 78
Among the Xiaoling Mausoleums, the most important place at present is where Empress Ma's Taimiao Mausoleum is located.

After Zhu Ying went out with Zhang Gonggong,

Song Zhong and other Jin Yiwei followed, and were blocked by the Xiaoling Guard in front of Empress Ma's Taimiao.

"Master Zhu, wait a moment, I will go in and make an announcement."

Eunuch Zhang said to Zhu Ying.

The chief eunuch, the palm print of the Jingongjian, was waiting in the imperial temple of Empress Ma.

This place is much more grand than Yu Wang Zhu Xiongying.

There are 12 people guarding the entrance of Xiaoling Mausoleum, and there are many patrolling teams.

The Ancestral Temple looks almost the same as a palace, with extraordinary style.

Except for His Majesty, even if members of the royal family came here, they could only enter after obtaining the consent of the eunuch chief eunuch, who was in charge of the palace, and the guards were extremely strict.

The twelve Xiaoling guards were tall and tall, and they kept their eyes on each other.

There are so many vassal kings and princes here, although Zhu Ying looks extraordinary, but this doesn't make them accommodating.

Although the Xiaoling Guards were under the control of the Jingu Supervisor here in Xiaoling, they were directly under the superior, the emperor himself.

Inside the Temple of Empress Ma.

Eunuch Zhang reported to the palm print eunuch and asked to enter to pay homage.

"You mean, this person was sent by Jin Yiwei Song Zhongzhen Fushi, and he looks very similar to His Royal Highness?" Eunuch Wei, the palm print eunuch, asked with a frown.

"That's right, I suspect that it may be the illegitimate son of His Highness the Crown Prince." Eunuch Zhang said his guess.

Of course he couldn't think of Zhu Xiongying.

But this person looks so similar to His Highness the Crown Prince, that's the only possibility.

And it was sent by Jin Yiwei, who said it was a merchant, so His Majesty naturally knew about it.

"Well, I'll go to greet you together." Eunuch Wei said after pondering slightly.

The Jingujian guards the tomb, and the power is still great.

Since he is not in the palace, even if the prince and vassal come here, it will not work.

But when it comes to His Majesty, Eunuch Wei, the palm seal eunuch, decided to go there himself.

In less than half a stick of incense, several eunuchs, headed by Eunuch Wei, walked towards Zhu Ying.

Eunuch Wei, as the chief official of the Shengong Supervisor, is very familiar with Prince Zhu Biao.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to pay respects to the Queen on time every year.

Although he was prepared in his heart, after seeing Zhu Ying, his eyes were shocked after all.

Even if it is the biological father and son, there are not many people who are so similar in appearance and temperament.

"This is Eunuch Wei, the chief official of the palm print." Eunuch Zhang introduced.

"I've seen Eunuch Wei." Zhu Ying bowed.

"Young Master Zhu is out, please take a seat inside." Eunuch Wei said with a smile, glanced at Song Zhong and other Jin Yiwei, but ignored him.

Because of the isolation from the outside world, the Jingong Supervisor didn't have a good look at Jin Yiwei.

There is no need to be afraid of them, Jin Yiwei has no jurisdiction over the Jingu Supervisor.

Song Zhong wasn't angry either, it didn't matter if this happened a lot.

When Jin Yiwei was in charge of the previous commander, it was notorious and widely spread.

Zhu Ying followed Wei Gonggong, Zhang Gonggong and others into the Taimiao of Empress Ma.

Although Zhu Ying is not familiar with Empress Ma, she admires her quite a lot.

The importance to Zhu Yuanzhang is self-evident.

What impressed me the most was the sentence that was widely circulated in later generations.

"All my Ming women, regardless of poverty, wealth or lowliness, can wear royal clothing, phoenix crown and Xiapei when they marry. '

At present, there is no factual proof, nor any historical evidence, that this sentence was said by Empress Ma.

But this custom really started from Daming.

The use of Fengguanxiapei in folk women's weddings has indeed won the tacit approval of the royal family.

Zhu Ying has also seen it many times.

Fengguanxiapei is not a piece of clothing, but an accessory.

Phoenix crowns, crown ornaments for emperors and concubines, adorned with phoenix-like jewels.

Xiapei is part of the Ming Dynasty women's dress, similar to a modern shawl.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was no concept of renting wedding dresses, and naturally not everyone could afford them, only wealthy families could afford them.

After entering the Taimiao, Zhu Ying lit the bamboo incense and bowed respectfully.

Ordinary sacrifices do not require too many rituals, just expressing respect.

After some worship, Zhu Ying didn't stay any longer, and asked Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Zhang to resign and leave.

Looking at the back of Zhu Ying leaving.

Eunuch Wei said with some doubts: "Why does the Sajia think that Mr. Zhu looks so familiar, as if he has seen him there."

After finishing speaking, he added: "It's not because I look similar to His Royal Highness, but because I feel that there is someone else."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Does Eunuch Wei feel the same way?"

Eunuch Wei asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Eunuch Zhang said: "His Royal Highness King Yu."

"It's impossible." Eunuch Wei subconsciously retorted.

Then I recalled seeing the figure of His Royal Highness King Yu in the palace.

"How is this possible?" Eunuch Wei said in disbelief.

"Since Your Majesty asked Young Master Zhu to come to Xiaoling, he must already know about it, so I don't need to worry too much." Eunuch Zhang said.

"It makes sense." Eunuch Wei replied, and then sighed: "It's really a troubled time."

The tomb of King Yu is located.

After Liu Rixin checked the time and nodded to confirm, the three thousand civilians immediately started digging.

Several officials of the Qin Tianjian, holding a compass, observed the movement of excavation in four directions.

There are hundreds of Xiaoling guards around to assist, and Liu Rixin seems to be constantly roaming and monitoring, but in fact he is constantly calculating in his sleeves.

Not counting people, but counting yourself.

At the moment of excavation, Liu Rixin felt a sense of relief suddenly.

After some calculations, he actually found that his fate had changed, and it seemed that a new life appeared.

It's like being reincarnated as a human being.

"Could it be related to Mr. Zhu?" Liu Rixin thought to himself.

Even with the labor of [-] civilians, the excavation of Xiaoling could not be completed overnight.

After all, unlike later generations, it is equivalent to pure manual excavation.

Restricted by the dark river, the movement cannot be too fast.

And because there had been subsidence, the depth of digging must not be small.

It takes at least ten days or more to see results.

Daming Palace, in Huagai Palace.

After Song Zhong sent Zhu Ying back, he immediately reported the situation.

After receiving the news, Jiang Yu hurriedly reported Zhu Ying's actions in Xiaoling to His Majesty.

"What a great grandson, even if he has lost his memory, he knows to visit his grandma."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished listening, he said with some sighs, with some comfort and regret in his heart.

It's a pity that the great grandson can't justly pay homage to him at present.

"Send an order to Liu Rixin to supervise at all times and not cause a collapse. Our grandson's coffin must be dug out."

"We're going to open the coffin for an autopsy."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

He didn't have any doubts about the possibility that Zhu Ying was the eldest grandson.

In this way, it is very likely that Li Daitao is dead in the coffin.

"It seems that the palace needs a thorough investigation."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking deeply about his grandson, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked to see him.

"Xuan."

"I want to tell your Majesty that before, His Majesty asked his ministers to be vigilant against Japanese pirates along the coast, and now a report has come, and indeed there are Japanese pirates appearing."
