Chapter 616 The Grand Ceremony

.There is a saying that the tiger does not bite people, and the tiger does not eat its own poison. Emperor Jiajing could not be determined by his only grandson after all, so he slowly said: "Today is a new year, I will bring my grandson, ij to see P Bao
Zhu Zaithen almost got crazy and quickly ordered someone to send his tiger head. Zhu Zaithen/! His face looked like a dirt. He knew that if he didn't do it well, he would lose in this game, but at this time he could not ask for help from Master Gao and Master Shen, so he could only sit there without any help, looking at Zhu Zaithen's smug look. "Go and take a break." Jiajing waved his hand and said lightly: "I'll accompany me to court later." The two of them quickly stood up and respectfully: "My son is obeying the order."
Before dawn outside the hall, the relevant guards and ceremonial guards and ceremonial guards of this ceremony were already in their place. One by one, the emperor's personal army, under the leadership of Zhu Da, set up a ceremonial guards, guarded the Danbi and Danmu, set up a bright fan in the hall, and trains held the Danmu. The Han generals wearing golden armor, holding golden gourd axes, and the emperor's dragon flag were arranged from the Danmu in the main hall to the Meridian Gate. There were also four whipmen holding a long whip of more than 100 feet, two on the left and right in the square in front of the hall, all standing in the north; the bands of the Jiaofangsi also faced north and prepared on the east and west sides of the Danmu.
The Dianmu Institute also took out the horses, rhinoceros and elephants that were usually raised for ceremonial guards, and arranged face to face in the Wen Building on both sides of the Huangji Hall, south of the Wu Building.
Si Chenlang, who was specializing in reporting the time, was located in the east of the inner road; the two censors who were specializing in correcting the words and deeds of officials came to the north of Danjin; the two were located in the hall and the two were located in the north of Danjin. As for the transmission and Xuanbiao and other officials, they all stood there. At the beginning of the Mao hour, a heavy and melodious sound of bells and drums sounded from the Wufeng Tower, and the Meridian Gate slowly opened.
A drummer from Jiaofang Temple took the lead in ringing the Jin drum on the side of Fengxian's door. He first hit the drum frame, then hit the double continuously with a double punch to rest assured, one heavy hit and one light hit, the rhythm changed from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow, and the drum sound also changed from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak. It was not until another musician hit the big bell on the other side that the drum sound ended, which was called "Gum Beginning" and "Gum Beginning"
At this time, all the officials and the Dukes and Magisters had already gathered outside the Meridian Gate. Their clothes were different from usual. They wore beams on their heads and no patches on their chests. They were wearing red red robe clothes, green-fringed red robe clothes, red robe covered knees, white socks and black shoes. However, they could still distinguish grades from leather belts and ribbons, but the most conspicuous ones were the number of beams with the Liang crowns, the number of Gong crowns, the eight Liangs, the Marquis and Magisters, and the seven Liangs, and the new pheasant tail was added to the crown; the seven Liangs of the Prince Consort did not use pheasant tails; the first rank seven Liangs; the second rank six Liangs; the third rank five Liangs; the fourth rank four Liangs; the fifth rank three Liangs. All the officials present were above the fifth rank, so they used ivory tablets in front. When they heard the drums were first strict, "the Dukes and Magisters and Magisters in formal court uniforms began to line outside the Meridian Gate.
After a while, the drum sounded again, but the drums and bells were beaten, and the head and tail were changed to two sounds. The second time all personnel were notified that they must be solemn. Hearing the encouragement, all officials entered from the left and right junction gates, came to Danji east and west, and stood in the north.
Then the drum sounded again, and this time it turned into three sounds. After hearing the three drums, Li Chunfang, who served as the deacon, came to Zhongji Hall. Jiajing had already put on his robe and dragon crown here, sat upright on the imperial throne on the main hall, Li Chunfang performed the five-knock ceremony to the emperor, and then performed the three-knock ceremony to the two princes, asking the emperor to come to Huangji Hall.
Huang Jin then raised the tone and shouted: "The Emperor is here..." Jiaofangsi began to play Zhonghe music." The official of Shangbaosi held the imperial seal in his hand and sold the s in front of the emperor, followed the commander, and walked towards the front hall.
When Jiajing sat upright on the Huangji Hall, the two princes stood firmly under the imperial steps. The bright fan in the hall slowly opened, the pearl curtain slowly rolled up, and the officials of Shangbaosi placed the imperial seal on the treasure case, and Zhonghe Happy and stopped.
The four whipsters standing at the four corners of the Danmu swung the long whip together, and made a neat and loud slap, slap, and sound that made people tighten. As soon as the whip stopped, the two external officials shouted: "Schedule!" The officials standing on the Danmu quickly changed into a formation to enter the hall and quickly arranged neatly.
The ritual official shouted again: "Bow!" Shao music sounded. All officials performed four bows to the emperor in the hall.
Then he walked into the congratulations and music. The four ministers carried a large box covered with red cloth and came to the front of the hall, knocking: "I am the official minister, and I will meet the dynasty, and the three yangs will bring peace to the world. All things are new. I respect the Emperor, and I will be proud of you, and I will be in charge of heaven and eternal prosperity!" The officials behind him also bowed to the emperor.
At this time, Jiajing said, "Lu Duan's celebration is equivalent to you." Four eunuchs came out and took the box containing the congratulations of officials into the hall. The music gradually stopped, and the officials stood up at the same time.
Then the deacon Li Chunfang knelt in front of the emperor and asked for decree. The emperor's New Year's speech was naturally planned, and Huang Jin handed it over to the official, and then the official came out of the east gate of the hall and came to the Danbi to read the New Year's speech to the subjects on behalf of the emperor. It was nothing more than doing a good job last year and thanking God for blessings. This year, I continue to work hard, hope God blesses, and so on, long and gorgeous, and annoying.
The officials naturally knelt down and listened. Some elderly officials and ministers were exhausted from their physical strength and their knees were sore and numb. They really wanted to kneel down. I don’t know how to hold on until the officials shouted, “Come on the mountain!”, and then raised their hands to their heads like conditioned reflexes and shouted, “Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!” At this time, everyone present had to respond in unison, the earth was shaking, and the sound of the lingering sound was lingering on the beams for a long time. Then the officials started and continued to carry out the lengthy... Chen saw that Xu Ge Laodong’s snot came out.
In the square in front of the Emperor Ji Palace, the adults were exhausted and when they were struggling to hold on, a sudden sound rang out. Wow, wow, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
I saw a woman dressed in a princess, kneeling under the Dan Youth with a baby in her arms, and the adults were shocked. Women and children were not allowed to attend New Year's Day ceremony like this. How could the guards put them in?
But there were also people who understood the market. When they saw the woman's dress and the color of the cradle in their arms, they realized that it must be Princess Jing and his prince. They immediately woke up and seemed to have a good show.
Then I heard the eunuch's elongated voice coming from the hall, saying, "Princess Xuanjing brings Prince Jing into the hall!"
The eunuch took over the cradle, Princess Jing stood up slowly, and then carefully returned to the child... Although this child was not her biological child, it was related to whether she could be a mother in the future, so she completely regarded her as her own and showed the kindness that a mother should have.
Stepping into the Golden Palace, Princess Jing knelt in front of the imperial stairs with her child in her arms, saying long live her father, and then heard a cold voice saying, "Zaizhen, bring the child to me and see." Prince Jing hurried over and took the child, held it in his hand, and let him face Jiajing.
When Jiajing saw the child, he could see his own appearance between his eyebrows and eyes. He couldn't help but show his unscrupulous kindness and reached out and said, "Let me see it."
King Jing quickly put his tiger head over, Jiajing stretched out his hand and hugged the doll like a fish. The child was not old enough to recognize his child, but he was caught in pain. He cried loudly, which made Emperor Jiajing very embarrassed. He quickly sent the child back to King Jing's hand and said embarrassedly: "This child... cried very vigorously." King Jing said: "It's good to have strength, and only by being strong can one grow into a man."
Jiajing was amused by him and nodded, "Yes, you have made contributions. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
King Jing repeatedly said, "My son, please don't give me a reward, my son, please ask my father to give me a name for the tiger head." Before coming, Yuan Wei had already told him that he would not want anything else. As long as he gave me a name at the New Year's Day ceremony, he would make a lot of money.
"Okay..." Jiajing nodded: "My Emperor Taizu has given the word "generation" to his descendants, "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou; Ci and Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou" You are of the generation of Zai, and the second word of the child's name is naturally "Yi, as for the third word, fire, earth, metal, water, wood, you are next to the word "earth", earth produces gold, and the child should be next to the word "gold". This shouting is in line with Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit of the old ox who thinks about his descendants and wants to finish the work of his descendants. Even if he gives a name, the descendants of his Zhu family can only freely write half a word...
It turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, because he had twenty-six sons himself, he realized that according to the traditional one-character ranking method, there must be a duplicate name among his descendants, so he set a generation table for each of the twenty-six sons, each table with twenty-seven characters, starting from his grandson and used as the second character of the name in sequence; as for the third character, there are also regulations, name it in order of fire, earth, metal, water and wood, and name it in sequence, and repeating it over and over again.
For example, the prince Zhu Biao family belongs to Yunwen Zunzu, "The Qinwu Dajun is victorious, and the teacher is good at using good fortune," and it is the imperial system. Then his son is called Zhu Yunshi: his grandson is called Zhu Wengui. Unfortunately, after the fire was born, he never gave birth to it. Because Zhu Di took the position of his nephew, the twenty characters of the Zhu Di family became the imperial system... Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Youzhi, Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houyan... Until this generation of Zhu Zai/!, Zhu Zaizhen was strictly named according to the ancestral teachings.
Now, Zhu Zaizhen's turn is naturally Zhu Yi, and he added a character next to the golden character. Although Zhu Di has many sons, there have been many Yi and the generation in the royal family, and he has already occupied a lot of characters. However, this is not a problem for Emperor Jiajing. He only saw him show three pieces of money from his sleeve... It turns out that he is the Emperor Daojun, and he did not forget his professional tools even if he put on the dragon robe... He started a lesson casually and saw that it was a Gen and hexagram, and then said, "Then use the Gen character and match the golden character."
"Add a Gen next to the golden character..." Although he was ignorant, Zhu Zaizhen knew what to pronounce the word, so he was unhappy at the time and thought to himself, "Okay, I was originally gold, so I directly reduced it to silver."
"Zhu Yi, Yinyin, one, one, one, one, one, one," Jia Jing, however, didn't see his face, and said to himself, "No, not bad!" This has become a golden rule, and no one can change it. Even if Zhu Zaitin is unwilling to do so, he can only kowtow and thank you...
He named the baby, and it is the first day of the Lunar New Year again, so he must give something to the New Year. Jiajing couldn't remember it for a while, so he casually said, "How should I reward this little grandson?"
In fact, the emperor just said casually, but Zhu Zaithen was excited when he heard this and immediately had an idea. Since the name jl has lost its quality, he has to earn it back by rewarding jl. Gold and silver have a price, jade is priceless, and the one that is more expensive than gold is jade, and the world is the most valuable
Even if he poured all the water from all over the world, he would never stop his high desire for that thing.
Zhu Zaizhen knew that in such an occasion, the emperor would never refuse this request. He thought that the opportunity should not be lost and he would never come again. There was no regret medicine in the world. He immediately threw Yuan Wei's advice behind him and said loudly: "Please give the Huangyu Ruyi to the tiger head... Oh, no, Yiyin p Bao
Jiajing's face looked a little ugly, and he thought to himself that he had threatened him because of a bad boy. Look at the incompetent Zhu Zai/" Jiajing cursed inwardly "Idiot" but the Supreme Demeanor was there, and he nodded and said, "Chen Hong, where is Ruyi now?"
Chen Hong thought for a long time before saying, "I have been taken in the inner treasury." He took Yu Ruyi that time and handed it over to the eunuch in the hall, and then he was beaten half to death. He was imprisoned for a whole month. He just released it a few days ago and completely forgot about the thing and has not checked it yet. "Go and get it." Jiajing ordered. "Yes." Chen Hong limped out quickly. Although Xiyuan and the imperial city were only separated by a wall, there was a distance between the boss.
So Princess Jing took Zhu Yiyin to the side to wait for the reward, and then the ceremony continued... If it was during the reign of Emperor Chengzu, the emperor had a banquet for the ministers in the palace, but the Ming Dynasty's treasury is now empty, and this benefit has been reduced. He just gave him a glass of spring wine and a bowl of water and snacks, and he didn't even give him some dipping vinegar, because he was "to pay money for money."
But all the officials were already exhausted and wanted to end the cumbersome ceremony as soon as possible, go home and go to a nest, and have a good sleep. Moreover, in this cold winter, the north wind whistled, standing in the empty square in front of the hall, drinking cold wine and eating cold dumplings, it was not so much a pleasure, but rather suffering... Shen saw that Zhang Juzheng's snot also came down...
Everyone had a few bites until their stomachs were chilly, and then kowtowed to thank him, all the rituals were completed. But they could not leave and go home. Because Chen Hong had not yet taken back the Ruyi, everyone could only wait in the cold wind. Shen was the only one, and sweat was faintly seen on his forehead. Gao Gong, who was beside him, asked in a low voice: "Jiangnan, why are you still hot?" Shen wiped his forehead and said in a low voice: "I sweated...
"Oh, so do I." Gao Gong sighed and said, "I really don't know what to do." Today, Jiajing's transformation was too sudden. King Jing seized the opportunity again, and he had a decisive attitude, which made his heart sink continuously, but there was no way. "Oh, let's talk about it later." Shen shook his head, not daring to say one more word. Gao Gong also knew that this was not the place to speak, so he stopped talking.
After waiting for more than a minute, he finally saw Chen Hong appearing sweaty. He looked sallow, dragging his injured leg, and not caring about etiquette, so he entered the hall, climbed the imperial stairs, leaned in Jiajing's ear, and whispered something.
Jiajing's expression changed after hearing this, his long eyebrows kept shaking, and his expression on his face changed. Look at Zhu Yiyin and Zhu Zaitin again. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I understand, you go back first and wait for Chen Hong to retreat. Jiajing slowly said to Zhu Zaitin: "Zheng, change something, that Ruyi is too heavy, afraid of suppressing the child." "Don't be afraid of one, one, ten, one." Zhu Zaitin saw that it was a mess again) A sudden and anxious, and he actually responded. = "I'll take it for him."
"Bastard!" Jiajing raised his face and shouted in a low voice: "Dare you dare to bargain with me? Are you really confident?"
I was so scared that I knelt down quickly and shouted that I didn't dare.
"Hmph, 11, 11, 11," Jia Jing said, with a slightly slower expression, "I have a night pearl that I like the most, so let's play with Yiyin." Then he waved his hand, Chen Hong came over and handed the small box to the emperor. Jia Jing opened it and saw that it was indeed a bead the size of a pigeon egg. He was still able to take it out, so he handed it to Zhu Yiyin: "Here, take it." Are you begging for food?" Zhu Zaitin took it in a depressed manner, even forgiving thanks.
The ceremony ended, and the ministers respectfully sent the emperor and then left the palace. When they left, no one asked for order. The ministers gathered together in groups of three or five, and they all discussed what had just happened. Why did they clearly get the wishful thinking, but finally brought the Night Pearl? Was it because the emperor changed his mind or something else? This inconspicuous scene greatly aroused the interest of the ministers. Everyone discussed this matter with great enthusiasm despite their fatigue... It was said that the emperor might not be willing to let it go.
