Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 395 Zhu Di’s canonization ceremony
the next few days.

For matters such as hiring and purchasing servants, slaves and maids, these two Ya people also took Guo Ang there.

Later, replace it with a suitable one.

As for the furniture in the mansion, it was directly purchased from the shop under Prince Yan's mansion.

In recent years, the furniture shops under Prince Yan's residence have also flourished.

It can be said that it has monopolized the entire high-end furniture market in Beiping Prefecture.

soon.

Then came the day of canonization.

As the chief historian of Prince Yan's palace, Guo An was granted permission to enter the palace and watch the ceremony with all the officials.

The canonization of Zhu Di as crown prince this time was not as hasty as the time when Zhu Yunwen was canonized.

therefore.

The vassal kings who were far away in the vassal areas were all summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang to the capital to watch the ceremony.

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the etiquette of canonization.

The ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince and the canonization of the queen are similar.

In the first three days, Zhu Di fasted and bathed, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and the ancestral temple.

Then, on the previous day, the Chief of Ceremonies will set up a register of treasures in front of the throne of Fengtian Palace, and set up the official position for the festival on the side of the register. The person in charge of the festival will be on his left, slightly back, and the official position for the official will be set up to the south of him. All to the west.

Set up a control position for the chief and deputy envoys on the south side of the horizontal street, facing north.

In the north, there are the official positions of undertaking and announcing the system, and in the northeast, there are the official positions of fengjie, fengzong and fengbao, both facing west.

To the north of the receiving position, there is a mattress position for the chief and deputy envoys to receive registration, facing north.

Subsequently.

The two people in charge of the ceremony are located on the south side of the steps, the two people in the ceremony are located on the north side of the chief and deputy envoys, and the two people in charge of the ceremony are located on the south side of the door, facing east and west.

The positions of officials and attendants are set according to court etiquette.

However, because the canonization of the Crown Princess and the canonization of the Crown Prince were both delivered on the same day.

Therefore, on this day of official canonization.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were also canonized together.

Guo An guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang's body could no longer bear the two canonizations.

As soon as it dawned, Guo An followed the envoys, deputy envoys and officials to the front of Fengtian Hall.

It can be seen that the honor guard and soldiers in front of the Fengtian Palace are all dressed in very clean and festive clothes, and there is loud music in the palace.

With three drums beating, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Fengtian Hall wearing Gong's crown uniform.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the books and seals and placed them on the treasure cases in front of the throne of Fengtian Hall.

Then, the ceremonial officer guided Zhu Di, who was wearing a royal robe, and Xu Miaoyun, who was wearing a formal dress, to enter the east gate of Fengtian.

this will.

Music sounded in Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun paid homage to Zhu Yuanzhang together.

Wait until Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun get up.

The music stopped.

immediately.

An official came out of the central door of the palace, stood outside the door, and shouted to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun: "There is a command!"

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun both knelt down slowly.

The official in charge read out the order and said: "The fourth legitimate son of His Majesty the current emperor is appointed, and the eldest of the princes, King Yan Zhu Di, is appointed as the crown prince."

"In addition, Princess Yan's concubine Xu will be appointed as the Crown Princess, and I will order you to observe the etiquette and salute her."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun bowed down and thanked them. After getting up, the music started playing again.

then.

The ceremony officer guided Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun into Fengtian Hall from the east gate of the hall, and music was played again in the hall.

After that, Guo An couldn't see it anymore.

However, according to the system, after entering Fengtian Palace.

An internal praise officer guided Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun to the throne, and the music stopped.

The internal praise officer knelt down to sing and read the book.

After the reading, praises were sung for inserting Gui, and praises were sung for conferring books.

Crown Prince Zhu Di and Crown Princess Xu Miaoyun stood in front of Gui Gui, kneeling to receive the book and handing it to the chamberlain.

He also praised singing and conferring seals, which is like the etiquette of conferring books.

After singing praises and taking out the Gui, Zhu Di took out the Gui, fell down, got up with Xu Miaoyun, and went out from the palace gate.

Then, behind Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, deacons followed them out holding the festival book and the official seal.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun returned to their original positions again, and music sounded all around.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun bowed four more times. After getting up, the music stopped.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came down from the east steps, and the music started playing.

When we arrived at Fengtianmen, the music stopped.

Ceremonial guards and drum music welcomed the books and seals to the Wenhua Hall.

Then, there was the official who was holding the festival and he was returning.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the edict in their hands and went to the Meridian Gate to read out the decree. Guo An was among the officials and greeted the edict respectfully.

Finally, the attendant returned and presented the ceremony to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang got up and returned to the palace.

Then, what gives Guo An a headache is that up to now, the canonization ceremony has not been completed.

Zhu Di, who became the Crown Prince, and Crown Princess Xu Miaoyun had to go to the inner hall to pay their respects.

After Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came out, the vassal kings, princes, and princes who had returned from various places were waiting on the steps of Wenhua Hall.

Now, it was Zhu Di who sat on his seat and accepted the congratulations.

It was the leader of the kings, King Zhou Zhu, who led a group of vassal kings, personal guards, and princes to celebrate Zhu Di.

"My younger brother, Zhu Rui, was overjoyed to meet his fourth brother, the crown prince, who was honored with a book and a precious seal. He respectfully led all his brothers to congratulate His Highness."

After the congratulations, all the vassal princes, princes and princes bowed four times to Zhu Di.

Similarly, a group of princesses, princesses, princesses and married women also saluted and congratulated Crown Princess Xu according to etiquette in front of Danchi.

At this point, the canonization ceremony is completed.

Seeing this, Guo An's head couldn't help but feel calm.

The dust has settled.

At this time, he can be regarded as raising a crown prince, the future Emperor Yongle.

Without Jingnan, the direction of Ming Dynasty should be very different.

The whole morning has passed.

By the time Guo An came out of the palace, following the crowd of courtiers like a torrent, his legs were already weak.

……

"The ministers have come to see His Highness and congratulate His Highness on his official canonization as Crown Prince!" In the East Palace, Guo An rested for a long time before Zhu Di came back with Zhu Gaochi and hurriedly stepped forward to celebrate.

"Okay, okay, Guo Qing, don't be polite, we are exhausted!"

After saying that, Zhu Di collapsed directly on a large chair, his face full of exhaustion.

Guo An subconsciously said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. The canonization ceremony is really too tiring!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was stunned and couldn't help but look Guo An up and down.

"Guo Qing's body is still too weak. She is actually a little tired after just standing all morning!"

"My minister is ashamed!"

Guo An nodded quickly and said, "Wei Chen has always been weak, which makes His Highness laugh!"

Zhu Di said: "As a dignified Ming Dynasty man, how can you be weak? Guo Qing, don't worry, after Han Shi and the others arrive, we will let them recuperate your body!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An quickly thanked him.

Zhu Gaochi on the side was full of doubts.

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said again: "Guo Qing, we heard that you have been staying in an inn these two days?"

Guo An said: "Back to Your Highness, the house needs to be tidied up before you can move in!"

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded again and said: "After we become the crown prince, can the workshops in Beiping Mansion be relocated to the capital?"

"move?"

Guo An frowned slightly.

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di said: "Those workshops can make Beiping Mansion so rich. If they are moved here, wouldn't they make the entire Ming Dynasty rich?"

Guo Andao: "I dare to ask, Your Highness, but someone has given you advice?"

"But what's wrong?"

Zhu Di realized something and asked subconsciously.

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is something very wrong with this matter!
Your Highness, the prosperity of the people of Beiping Prefecture depends entirely on those workshops. If all those workshops are moved to the capital, wouldn't the people of Beiping Prefecture have no money to make? "

"Moreover, if they all move here and have to buy a large amount of land near Yingtian City, won't it not only cost a lot of money again, but also occupy farmland?"

"I see!"

Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, we can open another branch of the workshop in Yingtian City!"

"Workshop branch?"

Zhu Di looked puzzled.

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, you selected a piece of wasteland near Yingtian City that is close to mountains and water. From the farms, crafts schools, and various workshops in Beiping Prefecture, you again transferred some craftsmen to take care of the work, and concentrated on building a group of farms similar to those in Beiping Prefecture. , workshop!”

"This plan works!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said excitedly: "After we pay our respects to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow, we will report to our father!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An quickly flattered him.

Subsequently.

Guo An once again discussed in detail with Zhu Di some large-scale factory matters, especially some things in some industrial parks in later generations, and reformed them and told Zhu Di.

As a result, Zhu Di looked more and more excited.

Wait until Guo An leaves.

Zhu Di smiled helplessly and cursed, "You, the teacher, are getting more and more lazy!"

"Dad, have you noticed it too?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a strange expression.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "When we were in Peking, a teacher like you could go to various workshops or wander around the wasteland in Peking for a whole day without feeling tired. It's only been a morning, how could he possibly Will you be tired?"

"It's just that he's not interested!"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

……

The next day.

Crown Prince Zhu Di took his eldest son Zhu Gaochi to worship at the Ancestral Temple.

Finished.

Back at Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that he wanted to build a group of workshops and farms near Yingtian Mansion and form an industrial park based on the models of workshops and farms in Beiping Mansion.

"If those workshops really allow the people to make a lot of money, wouldn't all the people be willing to farm honestly anymore?"

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang asked solemnly.

Zhu Di said quickly: "Father, please rest assured, if there is not enough food, no matter how much money the people make, they will still starve to death in the year of famine.

Therefore, those people dare not stop growing food. This is the case for the people in Beiping Prefecture. Even if they make a lot of money, they do not dare not stop growing food! "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and then asked: "Is this what Guo An thinks about?"

"Father is wise!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly and responded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "We have always been curious about this person, but you kid has been hiding it, for fear that we would snatch away you, a talented person in the palace.

Now, since you want him to become the Young Master of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace, you should bring him into the palace and let us meet him! "

"What the father said is absolutely true. I will bring Guo Qing into the palace tomorrow to pay homage to the father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Why tomorrow? We will send someone to announce him to the palace today!"

"Just do whatever your father tells you to do!"

Zhu Di said quickly.

"Very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then looked at Erhu aside and ordered.

"Go and summon Guo An to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Erhu responded and walked out quickly.

……

East Palace.

Guo An was idle, looking at some account books in the East Palace. On the side, Zhu Gaosui looked at Guo An boredly.

Suddenly, a chamberlain hurriedly walked in from outside and saluted Zhu Gaosui slightly.

Then, he turned to Guo An and said, "Guo Changshi, someone is coming to the palace. His Majesty summons you to the palace to see him!"
