Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 154 Chaoli and Zhu Biao

The turmoil and farce outside Fengtian Temple ended with Zhu Xi being dragged away, and everyone wisely assumed that nothing happened.

Chen Yunfu and Lan Yu also returned to their respective trains.

"My son-in-law, do you have any enmity with King Qin?"

Just now when Zhu Xun copied the knife, Shao Zhixin almost raised his voice to worry about Chen Yunfu, so he naturally had no time in his mind to think, now that the situation has calmed down, Shao Zhi felt something different.

It seems that Chen Yunfu deliberately led Zhu Xi to his death!

Raiding a knife to break into the Golden Palace, this kind of thing happened to Zhu Xi, but if it is changed to a foreign minister with a different surname than Zhu, it will be punished by the nine clans!
Rao is Zhu Xi's own son, and now he is sent to prison for the death penalty, although everyone knows that Zhu Biao will not kill him.

But if you live a life crime, you will not be able to escape, and it will hurt your muscles and bones in the slightest, and you will be tortured in the severest case.

Wang Jue and Zong Zhengling on the head don't know if they can keep it.

"I have no enmity with Zhu Xi, but this world has enmity with King Qin!"

Chen Yunfu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's a pity we didn't get rid of him this time."

Shao Zhi's eyes widened in horror.

What kind of enmity between my good son-in-law and Zhu Xi has come to the point where I want to put Zhu Xi to death.

Although he didn't understand, Shao Zhi didn't ask any more, but said silently: "I will pay attention to it as a father."

As the saying goes, helping relatives but not helping others, Shao Zhi doesn't care about any personal grievances between Chen Yunfu and Zhu Xi. Since his son-in-law has made up his mind to kill Zhu Xi, then as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he must help Chen Yun in this matter. just.

Isn't it just to kill a prince? At present, it seems that my good son-in-law still has Lan Yu's support, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking about it in his heart, before he knew it, there was already a lot of energy surrounding Chen Yunfu. Although it was not easy to bring down a mere prince, it was not a daydream.

At this moment of wild thinking, there was a sound of a chime in Fengtian Hall, and then the tune of "Song of Taiqing" was played.

The third class immediately stood silent, and the ceremonial officer walked out of the golden hall to sing the lyrics.

"My emperor ascended to the palace, and all the kings, princes, sons-in-law, and officials entered the palace to congratulate."

With the end of the libretto, Zhu Wei led a group of princes and relatives into the Fengtian Hall first, followed by a group of princes in the ranks of military officers. Although Chen Yunfu was a civil servant, he followed closely behind.

Who made him Hou.

Behind Chen Yunfu is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law, the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty.

It was Zhan Hui's turn to wait for the other civil servants after the nobles at the uncle level had left.

The big guys stepped on the music point and came to their respective positions, quietly waiting for the music point to end.

"The Song of Taiqing" ended, and the eight big Han generals outside the hall threw off their long whips, making a burst of sound like firecrackers.

The sound of the whip stopped, and the ceremonial officer wrote the lyrics.

"The king of Jin pays homage."

Because Zhu Xun had already been carried away, the process of worship naturally fell on Jin Wang Zhu Xun.

Although Zhu Yan had never done this kind of prostration, but after so many years of reading and understanding, he took two steps forward and bowed on his knees.

"Third son, I would like to lead all my younger brothers to congratulate my father and emperor on the occasion of Luduan Festival. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After Zhu Yan's words fell, all the princes bowed down one after another, shouting long live long live long live.

The music group stopped the music, and the ceremonial judge resumed singing: "Get up."

All the princes got up, and the music group played "The Song of the Son of Heaven" in a different tune.

The ceremonial officer sang again: "The king of Jin pays homage."

Zhu Zhan knelt down again in praise,

The process went back and forth like this eight times, and that's all. After the eight prostrations and eight kowtows, the prince's process was completed, and it was the turn of the prince, son-in-law and others.

After the tedious etiquette was over, Chen Yunfu was also dizzy, but now he didn't have time to rest, let alone rest, and he didn't even have time to drink water and go to the latrine. Go to the Wenhua Palace to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang four times, kowtowed once, and shouted long live, then got up and followed the ceremonial officer to Wenhua Hall.

The process is basically the same, except that it takes four weeks for Zhu Biao to work.

There are no "Songs of the Taiqing", "Songs of Gratitude to the Emperor", "Songs of the Son of Heaven" and "Songs of the Kingdoms Coming to the Court", but there is an extra dance of the longevity team.

For example, Zhu Biao and other princes bowed four times and kowtowed to Zhu Biao, and the words were "The third brother of the minister, I would like to lead all the younger brothers on the occasion of Lu Duan, and congratulate the elder brother and the prince, His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old Chitose."

After the lyrics and music were transferred to "The Song of He Shengchao", everyone said in unison: "Three yangs will bring prosperity, and all things will be fresh, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be prosperous and prosperous, and you will live a thousand years and a thousand years."

These etiquettes cannot be written in [-] words, and I can't stop here.

Chen Yunfu didn't want to talk about the cumbersome etiquette, here he only talked about Zhu Biao's status.

It is empty talk to claim to be the prince with the most stable position in the history of Chinese dynasties.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Ministry of Rites to add the rule that princes, princes, princes and all officials must pay four respects to Zhu Biao on the two major ceremonial days of the Zhengdan New Year and the Winter Solstice.

Why, it is to remind everyone all the time to treat Zhu Biao as a king.

There are still some disputes about Zhu Biao's status in later generations, including rumors that Zhu Biao threw himself into the river because of Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, was even thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang with a bench, and Zhu Biao was forced to wear mourning for the noble concubine Cheng Musun.

Here it is necessary to clarify clearly in order to uphold the attitude of being responsible for history.

The so-called story of Zhu Biao throwing himself into the river in fear and being thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang with a bench comes from "Famous Mountain Collection Volume 35——The Biography of Prince Yiwen". Song Lian was full of families, Zhu Biao pleaded for Song Lian, and was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Go and have mercy on Song Lian after you become the emperor." So Zhu Biao was terrified and threw himself into the river. When he was rescued by the palace servants, he was dying. , Song Lian was pardoned.

Later, Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang that the king of Yao and Shun had ministers of Yao and Shun, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry and threw a bench at Zhu Biao.

And also in this "Famous Mountain Collection Volume 59--Biography of Song Lian", the record of Song Lian's case is that after Song Lian was involved in Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish Song Lian's family, and Empress Ma interceded for Song Lian, so Zhu Yuanzhang pardoned Song Lian.

Nothing about Zhu Biao was mentioned here.

Hence the inconsistency.

When studying historical materials, you can't just rely on one book, then look at other materials.

The Song Lian case is also recorded in "Shengchaotong History Supplementary Notes Volume [-]" and "Ming History Chronicle Volume [-]", which also did not mention Zhu Biao in the content, only saying that it was Queen Ma's request.

These three historical documents can be called civil history.

There are two types of historical documents, one is official history, which is revised by officials, and the other is civil history, which is edited by court officials or folk literati themselves.

If the above three folk histories are not enough for examination, let’s talk about official histories.

The Song Lian case was also mentioned in "Ming Taizong Shilu Volume [-]" and "Ming Xiaozong Shilu Volume [-]", but the original text here is that Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Song Lian was the prince's teacher, and he decided to forgive Song Lian and change it to Zhu Yi. exile.

Not only is there no Zhu Biao, even Queen Ma is not mentioned.

If you don't believe the two official histories and the two folk histories, but instead believe in the self-contradictory "Mingshan Zang", then it is not dialectical history but arguing.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's forcing Zhu Biao to serve filial piety as the noble concubine Chengmu Sun, it was out of context and sensationalized.

The allusion comes from "Ming Taizu Shilu Volume Ninety-Four". The original text said that Niu Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said, "According to Zhou Li, the crown prince and the princes do not need to be filial piety for the concubine mother (that is, the noble concubine Musun). "

Song Lian had a different opinion. He suggested that it is the benevolent government of the sage king to take care of the mother for the elderly. How can she be taboo because she is a concubine? According to Zhou Li, what you said is impossible to test.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, no one has ever said that such etiquette still exists in Zhou Ri.

What's more, people's emotions have infinite changes, and etiquette should also make appropriate changes for human emotions, so that people's hearts can be stabilized, which is also the law of nature.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't say that Song Lian's opinion should prevail, and asked the courtiers to vote together. In the end, 42 people supported Song Lian's statement, and then they nodded in agreement.

So not only Zhu Biao, but also all the princes and princes such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc. all served filial piety for the noble concubine Cheng Musun.

How could it be said that the imperial court's great ceremony and deliberation became Zhu Yuanzhang's forcing Zhu Biao to serve his concubine's filial piety?

If you say that, does it mean that Zhu Yuanzhang, the son of Concubine Sun Gui, who is a filial piety, looks down on him.

But I didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang passing the throne to Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong or Zhang San Li Si Wang Er Mazi.

There are more than ten volumes in the "Da Ming Hui Dian" in detail for only one crown prince ceremony. This was all formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in office. The reason for adding such a cumbersome ceremony is to highlight and consolidate Zhu Biao's position.

Official history and civil history are not read at all, or they are taken out of context. It is really a word at the beginning, and the rest depends on editing.

This is not being responsible for history, and the behavior of historical inventors is even worse.

Although it's a bit of nonsense, but without clarifying the history itself, it is difficult for Chen Yunfu to explain whether what he and Zhu Biao did is reasonable.

The story naturally cannot continue.

Gossip less, the book returns to the main story.

The day's court ceremony finally came to an end, and Chen Yunfu was staring with hunger. Fortunately, Zhu Biao saw it, and called Chen Yunfu to stop after the court ceremony was over.

"Yunfu, stay here for a while."

All the officials looked sideways, all envious.

Zhu Di and the other princes sighed even more.

Who would have thought that Zhu Biao would attach so much importance to taking care of Chen Yunfu. From this point of view, Zhu Xun's loss today is for sure!
