Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu felt heavy with hatred, sighed unconsciously, and said: "Well, I know, just go back if you have nothing to do, by the way, the Lantern Festival is a holiday, I will go out in person to have fun with the people, and by the way The Lantern Festival is designated as a national festival in Ming Dynasty, and it is celebrated by all people, anyone, anywhere, without exception."

Bi Ziyan had no objection to this, and when the matter was finished, the three of them raised their hands and said, "Your Excellency will leave."

Zhu Xu felt a headache watching the three of them leave.Marriage in the Ming Dynasty was inherently complicated, not to mention that he, the emperor, did not know how many people would be watching.

However, a big wedding is finally coming, this big wedding is of great significance to him, and it is also very important to the whole Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 954

The Lantern Festival is the most lively festival in Ming Dynasty, even more than that, it goes back even further.

I don’t know how many Tang poems and Song poems are about the Lantern Festival, and there are countless famous poems handed down from generation to generation.

Zhu Xu and the five elders traveled from one end of Chang'an Avenue to the other end, congratulating them, rewarding them, sailing in flower boats, and holding lanterns like fire and dragons, pushing the warm atmosphere to the extreme.

On Chang'an Street, there are a lot of flowers, singing like thunder, like a sea of ​​lights, bright as day, lion dance, juggling, all kinds of shouting and clamoring, one after another, hot as boiling.

After walking around for a long time, Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan and other cabinet ministers came to a restaurant, sat at a table, watched the fireworks outside, and listened to the shouts. Smiling and quite relaxed.

"Come on, raise your glass."

Holding the wine glass, Zhu Xu looked at the crowd and said loudly.

A group of people laughed and toasted, drinking with Zhu Xu.

Although the government is under great pressure, the situation is chaotic, and the courtiers have different thoughts, they are all "work-oriented". Putting these aside, everyone can still enjoy themselves and talk and laugh happily.

Zhu Xu was also much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be restrained today, drink freely, and I will take care of you when you get drunk."

Bi Ziyan and the others smiled and were polite, but the guests enjoyed themselves.

"Uncle Emperor..."

Not long after, Xiao Yongning ran up suddenly. Seeing so many people there, he saluted very stiffly, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Uncle Huang, my aunt refuses to come out."

Zhu Xu had already expected it, and sighed inwardly. He hated Ming Dynasty etiquette even more, and this good Lantern Festival would not last for a while.

So many beautiful pictures just slipped away quietly in my mind.

"Sit down and eat." Zhu Xu said with a calm smile.

The little girl was sitting next to Zhu Xu, and in front of outsiders, she still acted like a princess, but she was not rude.

The people in the cabinet naturally knew that Her Royal Highness was willful and mischievous, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, so they all smiled.

This meal, the entire capital of the Lantern Festival is going well. After all, the price control in the capital is very good, the commerce is relatively developed, and there are a lot of rich people. They celebrate almost all night, and there is an endless stream.

When Zhu Xu and others were having dinner, the Zhang family was also beaming with joy and festive decorations.

The Zhang family is all internal eunuchs, the maids are walking around, Zhang Yun is constantly being dressed up and down, walking here and there, especially in every aspect of the wedding ceremony, meticulous.

The Zhang family is busy with their work, isn't it 01:30 when they are tired?

"Come back to me and help your sister..." Mrs. Zhang grabbed Zhang Shu who was about to escape, and said angrily.

Zhang Shu shook her head in disbelief, and screamed: "Mother, I am very tired, why is my sister getting married, I am the one who is tired..."

"Come here." Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhang Shu back and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Zhang Yun stood in the middle of the hall, and a group of court ladies were busy working on her, chattering non-stop.

After a while, a consul lady said: "Your Majesty, after talking so much, I guess you haven't remembered much. Don't worry, we still have time."

Zhang Yun had a heavy phoenix crown on his head and a big red scarf on his body, which together weighed at least a few dozen kilograms. Standing there motionless, he said with a light smile, "It's okay, I'll remember everything."

Several palace maids looked at each other, and the consul palace maid hurriedly said: "It's okay, we will lead you away when the time comes, as long as your empress listens to us, you won't be wrong."

"Okay." Zhang Yun glanced at them with a rolling gaze, and said with a toothless smile.

The maids didn't think Zhang Yun could remember, so they tried their best to play with it.

This one is going to live in the Kunning Palace, the masters of the Central Palace, they dare not be careless in the slightest.

Zhu Xu got half-drunk outside the palace, took Xiao Yongning back to the palace, and celebrated the Lantern Festival with Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Jieyu and others.

Because of Ci Ye's non-stop disturbance, Li Jieyu had to leave the table with the two little guys.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was a little drunk, Empress Dowager Zhang said, "I heard that Liuqiu wants to pay tribute to a woman to enter the palace?"

Although Zhu Xu drank a lot, he was still sober. Hearing this, he said, "That's what Ryukyu thinks, but I haven't agreed yet."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, and said: "Your palace is indeed deserted. After the empress enters the palace, arrange some people to come in. The two that I and the concubine are optimistic about will be included as soon as possible. They can't all be barbarians... ..."

Zhu Xu heard that the Empress Dowager was somewhat worried, nodded and said: "I understand."

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Xiao Yongning, who was still in good spirits, and then at Zhu Xu's red face, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you too much, there are still many things to do tomorrow, you should go back early to rest , you should go through the rites that should be done carefully, don't make mistakes, and you will make a joke when you ascended the throne..."

There was nothing to do with Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Xu, after she made a serious statement, she left the Compassion Palace.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Zhu Xu sobered up a lot, breathed out the smell of alcohol, and said as he walked, "What else is there today?"

Cao Huachun followed behind and said: "There is nothing to do today, the cabinet has not sent a new memorial, the emperor can rest early tonight."

Without the playbook, Zhu Xu felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he said, "In this case, let's go back to sleep. I don't know how many things are waiting for tomorrow."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu staggered back to Qianqing Palace, washed up and went to bed.

While Zhu Xu was sleeping, the bustle of the capital did not subside, but became more and more intense.

In the cabinet, the adults in the six ministries have a day off, entertaining each other, drinking wine and chatting freely.

At the same time, officials from all over the Ming Dynasty set off for the capital almost at the same time.The envoys inside and outside the Ming Dynasty also set off one after another to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In the second year of Jingzheng, January [-]th.

This was the first day of the opening of the dynasty. Zhu Xu led a group of ministers from the six cabinet departments to watch the flag raising at Chengtian Gate.

The crowd of onlookers gradually increased, and they stood watching from a distance.

The solemn and awe-inspiring guard of honor, the vigorous and passionate drums, piano and other mixed music are very solemn in front of Chengtianmen.

Zhu Xu looked dignified, with his hands hanging down. It was the first time for the adults, but they all followed suit. They looked at the guard of honor seriously and watched the national flag rise slowly.

Zhu Xu's mentality was a bit complicated. Looking at the national flag that was slowly fluttering up, his eyes were straight and his heart was surging.

At this moment, Daming finally looked a little bit different, and from this moment on, he was about to enter a new stage.
