I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said:

"Even if I have lived in the palace for a long time, I can't imagine the life of the common people now. I have forgotten the sufferings of the common people. How can I experience the hardships of ordinary people's life when I grew up in the palace?"

"It's good for him to go out and be independent earlier."

Zhang Yan was ignorant, and didn't know if she understood the meaning of these words, but she still didn't continue talking, and moved into the emperor's arms, like a kitten.

"What your majesty says is what you say, and all the courtiers and concubines listen to your majesty."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and fell asleep with Zhang Yan in his arms.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yan was woken up by Xu Shi, the grandmother of the emperor's eldest son who came in, and touched her side. The bedding was still warm, but Yiren had disappeared.

After a short period of loss, Zhang Yan stood up and asked, "Where's the emperor?"

"I left early, and all the elders in the cabinet have also come into the palace. Maybe there is something important." Mrs. Xu brought a copper basin, filled with clean water.

Zhang Yan bent her hair, sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said with a smile, "You are now the emperor's eldest son's nanny, why do you still do such a thing?"

Xu sneered, "The prince is smart and smart, and he is as good at learning as he is. He is very strange, so there is no need for servants to follow him."

"It's the nanny, but it's not the grace given by the emperor to allow the servants to stay in the palace and continue to serve the empress."

"You are clever." Zhang Yan boasted, then got up, walked to the copper basin, and said, "I am still used to you serving me. I am not used to being manipulated by others, and I am not as comfortable as you."

Xu's heart felt warm, and she stepped forward.

On the other side, Zhu Youxiao sat on the Huangji Hall, summoned the six cabinet scholars of the current dynasty on the platform, and said straight to the point:

"I called you here today to canonize the Crown Prince."

"Canonize the crown prince?"

"This this this..."

When the six people heard the words, they all looked at each other, each with varying degrees of shock.

But without exception, the six people were all shocked by joy, not panic.

Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, got up immediately and said: "The crown prince is six years old. He is smart and eager to learn. He has set up the East Palace since he was appointed to set the policy for the court."

As one of the prince's young teachers, Xu Weijing, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace University, also said: "What the old man said is exactly what he said, and he should be appointed as a prince."

The rest of the people had nothing to object to, and they all agreed.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, "In recent years, Daming has suffered many disasters. It's time to rejoice. Let's pass the decree and ask the Ministry of Rites to hold a canonization ceremony on an auspicious day."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and left directly.

Registering a crown prince is sometimes extremely difficult.

In the struggle for the foundation of the Wanli kingdom, Emperor Shenzong favored Concubine Zheng, and Aiwu and Wu wanted to canonize Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, as the crown prince.

However, the civil servants disagreed with it, and demanded that Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao's cheap father, be registered as the prince on the grounds that the ancestral system established the chief.

Zhu Changluo was the eldest son of Emperor Shenzong, but he was born to a concubine. Emperor Wanli was just a whim and had no affection for this mother and son.

Not only was he met with objections from civil servants, but even the Empress Dowager Cisheng came off the stage in person to express her opposition. As a result, Wanli had to back down and make Zhu Changluo the crown prince.

In this apocalypse, there will be no such turmoil.

Zhu Ciran is both the first son and the eldest son, with a pure bloodline, and no one else has the slightest capital to fight. Even if Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to stand up, it is very difficult.

The establishment of the crown prince this time can only be said to be a matter of course in response to the wishes of the world.

After the cabinet returned, it immediately informed the Ministry of Rites of the great news of the day.

When the Ministry of Rites learned that the crown prince of this dynasty was about to be established, they were all as happy as if they were celebrating a new year. They studied the almanac for several days. Because September was about to pass and the time was tight, they chose the eighth day of October as an auspicious day for the canonization ceremony.

From the end of September to the eighth day of October, all the palaces and bureaus were busy with golden gongs, and the palace was suddenly many times more lively than before. You could see palace maids and eunuchs walking back and forth all day long.

This day was originally the day when the princes left the cabinet to study.

Both Zhu Ciran and Zhu Cijiong were studying in the Maoqin Hall, and there were always people moving outside, going back and forth, and it was very lively. The two brothers' minds were no longer on Xu Weijing, the scholar of the Wenhua Hall who was hard at work lecturing.

Zhu Cijiong was younger and had a restless nature. He was not as stable and steady as his elder brother Zhu Ciran. He had to stare at him for a long time before turning his head reluctantly.

Now he is staring at the top, thoughtful.

Zhu Ciran's mind was also in it, but he just glanced at it slightly and didn't look back.

After a while, he was also impatiently curious, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Cijiong, and asked tentatively, "What are you doing outside?"

This question aroused Zhu Cijiong's curiosity again, turned his head to look, and murmured: "I don't know, it's been several days, and no one told me."

Seeing him turn his head, Zhu Ciran immediately turned around, flipped through the book vigorously, smiled without saying a word.

Hearing the sound of flipping the book, Xu Weijing turned around, just in time to see Zhu Cijiong poking his neck out, "Hey, hey, where are you looking, where are you looking?"

Only then did Zhu Cijiong turn around, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Get the ruler!" Xu Weijing shouted to the side, and then a schoolboy accompanied him to hand over the ruler.

Zhu Ciran was holding back his laughter, when he heard that he was in a bad mood, his eyes rolled and his heart became ruthless, he lifted a corner of the desk and shouted loudly:

"Look, sir, there are crickets!"

"What?" Xu Weijing was taken aback for a moment, and sure enough, he saw a few running around, and hurriedly instructed the schoolboys to catch crickets.

All of a sudden, Maoqin Hall was in chaos.

Zhu Ciran dragged Zhu Cijiong, who was at a loss, and ran out.

When he came outside the hall, Zhu Ciran grabbed a little eunuch and asked, "Let me ask you, what are you busy with these days?"

The little eunuch was full of embarrassment, but when he saw Zhu Ciran staring at him, he panicked and said quickly: "Your Majesty wants to make you the Crown Prince!"

"Emperor, crown prince?" Zhu Ciran was also stunned.

Xu Weijing, who chased him out, wiped his blushing sweat, leaned against the vermilion wooden pillar, but smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself:

"This little bastard..."

"Forget it, tidy up, let's forget about today's daily lecture."

Chapter 894 Immediate Emperor

After more than ten days of intensive preparations, the day of conferring the crown prince is approaching. The night before, the palace was brightly lit all night.

Under such a situation, even the streets of the capital are like daytime, with people coming and going, the servants of Shuntian Mansion, and the patrolling soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi can be seen everywhere even in the middle of the night.

Although Zhao Fucai was nominally the chief eunuch in charge at this time, in fact, all the eunuchs were still under the supervision of Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Wei Zhongxian was also very strange this day, it was rare for him to stay in the palace for a whole day.

He is instructing the young eunuchs and the old eunuchs to set up the imperial throne incense case downstairs in the Forbidden City in front of Chengtian Gate, and place the edict case, book case and treasure case specially made in the palace in the middle.

On the east side of Danbi, there are also palace people coming and going, and a book treasure pavilion is set up.

All the praise officials, hundreds of officials and all relevant personnel who should participate in the canonization ceremony have to rehearse the canonization ceremony the day before the canonization ceremony, and they have just left.

The Yongwei Battalion, which was in charge of the imperial guards, controlled the entry and exit of Chengtianmen Square ten days ago.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the chaos in the field, pointing to that side and looking there again from time to time.

"Hey, isn't it crooked? What are those eyes for?"

"Say he didn't talk about you, watch it!"

"That kid, spill everything you hold in your hand!"

"You bunch of useless bastards, Bendu... I understand how to keep you, look at how everyone is in such a hurry!"

Wei Zhongxian walked while talking, without stopping, as if he walked more today than he did this year, and said arrogantly:

"This governor can tell you that it is a major event in this dynasty to appoint a crown prince!"

"In today's world, the sage is wise and heroic, the crown prince must also be a generation of sages!"

"Be careful, if something goes wrong during the grand ceremony, the governor will not spare him!"

He came to the side, pacing slowly, "Everyone work hard, the Bendu knows in his heart that if something happened at the grand ceremony, eighteen generations of ancestors should not think about it!"

Wei Zhongxian came and went on inspections, very seriously, and made the eunuchs very nervous, wishing they could be ten thousand times more careful. Just as he was talking, a young eunuch slipped and fell off the stool he was stepping on.

After the little eunuch got up, he pleaded guilty and kept begging for mercy.

"Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, Mr. Factory!"

Wei Zhongxian glanced sideways, disgusted all over his face, but he didn't say anything, Wang Tigan, who followed behind him, helped the little eunuch up, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wang Tiqian said: "Thank you, Mr. Factory, soon."

The little eunuch thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian was not as bloodthirsty as the rumors said, not without joy, he said:

"Thank you, Mr. Factory!"

Busy to and fro, the night passed quickly.

The eighth day of October in the seventh year of Tianqi is the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites.

In the early morning, Jinwuwei, the imperial guard of the Imperial Palace, opened the Chengtian Gate and lined up majestically on the east and west sides of the corridor on the square.

The towers of the Forbidden City, banners and flags are flying, and guards of honor are strictly guarded.

The soldiers of the Arch Guard Division are no longer just fancy vases, and then they walked out to display guards of honor on the east and west sides of Danbi and Danchi.

In the Wenlou and Wulou, the eunuchs and maids have already arranged etiquette plans.

For a week outside, there are crowds of onlookers.

The major event of canonizing the prince is second only to Tianqi's ascension to the throne. It is an act to consolidate the foundation of the country and stabilize the people in all directions.

Emperor Tianqi chose to appoint the crown prince at this time, obviously to send a signal to the subjects of the Ming Dynasty all over the world, as well as the surrounding small kingdoms who are covetous.

The turmoil caused by the reorganization of the guard did not hurt Daming!

In the south of Danchang, a band was set up to play music, led by He Shenglang, drummers, and guards of honor to welcome and send Cebao to the East Palace and welcome the prince.

The queue passed by the crowd, and everyone cast admiring glances.

Soon, it stopped outside the East Palace.

The secretary of the Jiaofang and Shenglang waited and waited until the eldest son of the emperor came out, sweating profusely, thinking about it, and broke in.

Go in and take a look, the two brothers are having a great time playing with the crickets.

"My little ancestor, what time is this, haven't you changed your crown clothes yet?" He Shenglang looked at the bewildered maids and eunuchs standing beside him, and angrily reprimanded:

"What are you doing, why haven't you changed the prince's clothes yet?"

The female officer hurriedly saluted and apologized, her face full of embarrassment, "The crown prince doesn't allow us to approach, everyone is afraid to go forward, and they are all in a hurry!"

"What's the use of being anxious, if being anxious can be eaten, there won't be so many starving ghosts in the world." The voice came into the main hall of the East Palace, but it was Xu Weijing, a cabinet scholar and prince's junior teacher, who walked in.

As soon as he came in, Gong'e and the eunuchs all had their backs, and He Shenglang stopped talking.

Zhu Ciran and Zhu Cijiong immediately put down the cricket jars in their hands, stood up and saluted respectfully, saying: "I have seen the teacher."

Xu Weijing walked over with a solemn face: "Does the prince know what he is going to do now?"

"I know, the crown prince will be appointed to participate in the grand ceremony." Zhu Ciran said with bright eyes.

"Since you know, why don't you go?"

"I don't want to go."

Xu Weijing was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at the child's Tongyan Wuji, sighed suddenly, and said: "When I become a prince, I can no longer act so capriciously."

"Your words and deeds will affect thousands of people, so remember."

Zhu Ciran nodded and said, "Students remember the teacher's teachings."

Xu Weijing received the crown dress from Gong'e, but he was no longer as strict as before when he spoke, and put it on with trembling hands:

"Hurry up and change your clothes."

……

At the same time, under the service of Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao was also dressed in the most dignified and solemn gown.

Except for the daily worship of ancestors and heaven, Zhu Youxiao only wore this kind of dress when he became emperor eight years ago.

The high specifications are evident.
