The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

For the next two days, Zhu Gaoxu was in bad luck.When I went out, I was pulled by a bird flying in the sky with bird droppings on my face.Walking well, he suddenly tripped over a small stone and fell down on his buttocks.When passing through the garden, the clothes were accidentally scratched, and a long hole was torn.While walking, I accidentally bumped into a pillar, causing a big bump on my forehead.

After Zhu Zhanji learned of his second uncle's misfortune, he rolled on the ground laughing.He was really talking nonsense. He didn't expect his second uncle to be really unlucky, and he was unlucky for several days.

Zhu Gaoxu was very angry these two days. He went to find Zhu Zhanji angrily, but was ruthlessly kicked out by his father.

Just now he drank with Zhu Gaosui, and drank well, but unexpectedly the wine glass broke suddenly, and his pants were poured with wine.The most embarrassing thing is that the place where the shower is very special, it looks like you peed your pants.

Zhu Gaosui wanted to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help it anymore, so he burst out laughing.

Zhu Gaoxu was already very annoyed, but now hearing Zhu Gaosui's laughter, he was even angrier, and shouted angrily, "Third!"

"Hahahaha...Second brother, I'm sorry, I didn't want to laugh at first, but I couldn't help it..." Zhu Gaosui clenched his fists against his mouth and smiled.

"Zhu Zhanji!" Zhu Gaoxu yelled angrily, then stood up with a menacing look.

Zhu Gaosui grabbed him: "Second brother, where are you going?"

"Go and settle accounts with that little bastard Zhu Zhanji."

"Second brother, Zhanji didn't mess with you. He kindly told you that you would be unlucky recently."

"If he didn't say that I would be unlucky, I wouldn't be so unlucky these two days." Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "It's all because of him."

"Second brother, if you want to be scolded by your father, go to Zhanji to settle the score." Zhu Gaosui felt that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Zhanji.

"I..." Zhu Gaoxu sat back timidly when he thought of being scolded by his father yesterday.

"Second brother, to be fair, I really don't blame Zhanji for your unlucky luck." Zhu Gaosui suppressed a smile and said, "Zhanji kindly reminded you."

"Third, how do you speak for him?"

Zhu Gaosui looked innocent: "Second brother, I'm just telling the truth, and I didn't speak for Zhanji. Besides, you are an elder and ran to argue with your nephew. If you spread the word, you are not afraid of shame."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately shut up.

"Second brother, you'd better not go out these two days, stay at home first."

"That's okay." Zhu Gaoxu said with a frown. "In a few days, I'm afraid that Dad will ascend the throne, and the soldiers and emperor uncles will all leave. Now that everyone is here and Dad won't stare, I have to win over some people."

"You had an accident when you went out the day before yesterday and yesterday, and then came back in despair, do you think it's safe for you to go out now?"

Thinking of the unlucky things that happened in the past two days, Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that his chest hurt: "Damn it." Why was he so unlucky in the past two days.

"Second brother, you have been winning over people's hearts these days. Those who can be won over by you have already been won over by you. Those who have not been won over by you, no matter how much you win over them, it will be useless." Zhu Gaosui comforted Zhu Gaoxu, "This Don't worry about it for a while, when you and I gain a foothold in the court, those people will take the initiative to surrender."

Zhu Gaoxu felt that Zhu Gaosui's words were reasonable: "I'm afraid that the elder brother will come, and those people have taken refuge in the elder brother."

"If those people have taken refuge with the eldest brother, then the eldest brother will be in trouble." Zhu Gaosui said with a deep expression on his face, "I just took that seat, and the ministers can't wait to join the prince. What do you think my father will think?"

"Father will definitely be dissatisfied with elder brother." Zhu Gaoxu had a rare brain light.

Zhu Gaosui nodded lightly: "So, we don't need to do anything to the eldest brother for the time being. After a while, the eldest brother will take the initiative to send the handle to us."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and slapped Zhu Gaosui's back fiercely, and laughed loudly: "You are the smartest, third child."

"Second Brother, we have to hold our breath." Zhu Gaosui said silently in his heart, Second Brother, if I'm not as smart as you, I might as well die.

"You're right, we have to hold our breath." Zhu Gaoxu's few words made Zhu Gaoxu calm down, "Listen to you, I won't go out these two days."

"Second brother, do you still drink?"

"Drink, why don't you drink." After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he directly raised the wine jar and poured wine into his mouth.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji is learning piano from King Ning.

King Ning is very busy during this period, after all, it is rare to return to Nanjing, and there are many relatives and friends to see.However, no matter how busy he is, he still takes a little time every day to teach Zhu Zhanji how to play the piano.

"Your second uncle has been so unlucky these two days, is it your fault?"

"Grandpa Seventeen, I don't have such a great ability to make Uncle Unlucky." He really just said it casually, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"Didn't you say he would be unlucky?"

"I said it, but I'm also talking nonsense." Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "It must be that the second uncle has done a lot of bad things on weekdays, and God is punishing him."

"Is it really nonsense?"

"Otherwise, I'm not Mr. Jin who can look at faces."

"Too."

"I heard that it would be unlucky to be pooped by a bird, so the second uncle has been unlucky for the past two days." Zhu Zhanji thinks this possibility is very high.

King Ning thought of seeing the bird shit on Zhu Gaoxu's face the day before yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha..."

Zhu Zhanji felt a pity in his heart, because he didn't see this scene.

Zhu Gaoxu's unlucky incident was really a coincidence, he was unlucky for three days, and finally returned to normal on the fourth day, no more unlucky.

The bad luck of these three days has tormented him a lot and made him lose a lot of face.Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the bird droppings, but many people have seen it.Although they didn't say anything in front of Zhu Gaoxu, they couldn't stop laughing like King Ning in private.

In the past few days, civil and military officials and soldiers have been persuading Zhu Di to ascend the throne.

Zhu Di refused repeatedly, but today he did not refuse again and decided to take the throne.

In fact, there was another reason why Zhu Di refused repeatedly, and that was that his dragon robe was not done well.

There is a dragon robe in the palace, but it was worn by Zhu Yunqi, so it is impossible for Zhu Di to wear it.How can he ascend the throne without a dragon robe that fits well.

The embroiderers have been making dragon robes day and night, and finally finished it today.

Jin Zhong counted the days, the day after tomorrow is the most auspicious day of the month.Zhu Di intends to ascend the throne the day after tomorrow.

The enthronement is the enthronement, and the enthronement ceremony is the enthronement ceremony.

Zhu Di ascended the throne first, and then held the enthronement ceremony.

The enthronement ceremony is very important, and it must be held in a grand manner without any carelessness.Also, it will take some time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, at least one month.Furthermore, both the imperial palace and the court have not yet restored the previous order, so it is not suitable to hold the enthronement ceremony at this time.

One month later, there will be a good day, when the enthronement ceremony will be held on that day.

Although Zhu Di agreed to ascend the throne, he has not actually ascended the throne. He asked his subordinates and civil and military officials to still call him "Prince" instead of emperor.

Although he really wanted to be called "Emperor", he was in no rush within these two days.For more than three years, he has endured it, and it doesn't matter if he waits for two more days.

There are many things to prepare for ascension to the throne, among other things, things in the court should be arranged.

In the past two days, Zhu Di was busy arranging affairs in the court, such as who should be the official.

Zhu Zhanji knew that Zhu Di was busy, so he didn't bother him. He asked King Ning or King Zhou to take him to Nanjing.

In the past few days, he and Zhu Panxuan basically finished shopping around Nanjing.

By the way, during this period of time, apart from rebuilding the court, Zhu Di was also busy executing "treacherous ministers".

Caishikou outside the Meridian Gate has been red these days, stained red with blood.Because, there have always been people who have been beheaded.

Fang Xiaoru, who Daoyan asked Zhu Zhanji to intercede for, has not been beheaded yet, but he is not far from beheading.Since Zhu Di invaded Nanjing, he mourned for Emperor Jianwen at home every day.

Because Zhu Di was too busy, he didn't take care of him for the time being.However, I also heard about him.Zhu Di planned to summon Fang Xiaoru after he ascended the throne.If Fang Xiaoru is sensible, he will spare him for Master Daoyan's sake.

The night before he ascended the throne, Zhu Di was telling a story to Zhu Zhanji.

"Grandpa, you will be the emperor tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"Not nervous." Zhu Di was really not nervous.At this moment, his mood is very calm.

"Are you excited?"

"Not excited either."

"Hey, grandpa, why aren't you excited?" He's going to be the emperor tomorrow, but grandpa is neither nervous nor excited.

"I used to be nervous and excited, but not now." During the days when Nanjing was captured, he was nervous and excited, but after a period of time, his mood calmed down.Maybe it's because he finally got what he wanted, and no one or anything can stop him from being emperor. "Zhanji, are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous. Grandpa, you are the emperor, not me." It is estimated that when he grows up and becomes the emperor, he will not be nervous, perhaps because it is a matter of course. "Grandpa, when you become the emperor, you won't stop loving me, right?"

"Why do you think grandpa won't love you when he becomes the emperor?"

"Because when you become the emperor, grandpa, you will become very busy, and you will pretend to be ordinary people in your eyes and heart, and then you will not think of me as a grandson."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You are grandpa's precious grandson, grandpa doesn't love you and anyone else." He lowered his head and kissed his grandson's little face, "Grandpa will always love you."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"Then let's pull the hook." Zhu Zhanji stretched out his little finger to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di hooked his little finger, "The hook is not allowed to change for 100 years, and whoever changes it is a puppy." After finishing speaking, the grandfather and grandson pressed their thumbs tightly together.

"Now I believe that grandpa will always love you."

"Believe it." Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled slyly, "Grandpa, if you treat me badly in the future, great-grandfather and great-grandfather will never let you go."

Zhu Di pretended to be scared: "Grandpa is so scared, so grandpa must always treat you well."

"Grandpa, those who know the current affairs are the best."

Zhu Di patted his grandson's little butt amusedly, "Little villain..."

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di became sleepy after arguing for a while, and fell asleep in his grandfather's arms.

Zhu Di leaned on the bed, patted his grandson's back lightly, with a faint smile on his face.Not long after, he too fell asleep.

This time, Zhu Di slept very well.

The next day, when he woke up in the morning, he just felt refreshed.

After Zhu Di got out of bed, he covered Zhu Zhanji with the quilt, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and then went outside to change and wash.

"My lord, don't you want to wake up your highness?"

"Let Zhanji sleep, and when the affairs in the palace are finished, you can pick him up again." Today is just the enthronement ceremony, not the enthronement ceremony, and Zhu Di doesn't want to disturb his grandson's sleep.

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, did I ask you to choose someone to serve Zhanji?" Zhu Zhanji was almost four years old, and there should be eunuchs and maids around him.

"The servant has already selected several smart people, and I will wait for His Royal Highness to personally select them."

"People who serve Zhanji must be clean, understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, they are all clean, and there are a few people who are cochin."

"Cochinists can."

There are many foreign eunuchs or maids in the palace. They are all captives and sent to the palace to cleanse or serve.They have no relatives or reasons in Daming, so it is safest to use them.

"My lord, this servant also ordered people to tidy up the Hongqing Palace and add things." During this period of time, Ma Sanbao was also very busy, busy dealing with matters in the palace.

"Zhanji will live with me for the time being." Although Zhu Di asked Ma Sanbao to tidy up the Yuqing Palace, he has no plans to let Zhu Zhanji live in the Yuqing Palace alone for the time being. He is worried that Zhu Zhanji will be afraid.

"Yes, my lord." Ma Sanbao reported to Zhu Di what happened in the palace.

After Zhu Di washed up, he went to the dining room for breakfast.

After he finished his breakfast, all the soldiers, civil and military officials gathered at the gate of King Yan's Mansion.

Seeing Zhu Di coming out, everyone knelt down and saluted him: "I have seen the prince."

Because they have not yet entered the palace and ascended the throne, they still call Zhu Di "Prince" for the time being.Of course, this is what Zhu Di requested.

Zhu Di rode on the dragon horse and started walking towards the palace.

On the way to the palace, his mood suddenly became agitated, and a surge of pride rose in his chest.Only then did he have a real sense of being king.

People kneeling on both sides of the street shouted "Long live the emperor, long live, long live".

Zhu Di has not officially ascended the throne yet, and he is still wearing the prince's clothes now.He did not correct the common people calling him "Emperor".Although the common people called it early, they did not make a mistake.

Just when Zhu Di was about to enter the palace, someone rushed out and stood in front of Zhu Di's horse.

"My lord, wait a minute. Yang Rong, the editor of the Imperial Academy, has something to report."

Seeing that this person stopped him without fear of death, Zhu Di thought that this person should have something important to say.

"Please say."

Yang Rong said: "My lord, do you go to the palace first, or to the Xiaoling Mausoleum first?"

Zhu Di was shocked, he actually forgot about it.However, he didn't show any surprise on his face.

"Naturally go to Xiaoling first." After speaking, he immediately turned around and went to Xiaoling. (Selected from - Ming Cheng Ancestral Biography)

"Ma Sanbao."

"The servant is here."

"Go and bring Zhanji." Since he was going to worship in Xiaoling, of course Zhu Zhanji was indispensable.

"Yes, servant girl is going now."

Last night, Zhu Zhanji didn't have a dream. He woke up not long after Zhu Di left.

When Ma Sanbao came to pick him up, he was having breakfast.He heard that he was going to pay homage to Xiaoling, so he didn't have to eat breakfast.

Zhu Di deliberately walked slowly in order to wait for Zhu Zhanji and the others.

Ma Sanbao moved quickly, and brought Zhu Zhanji to Zhu Di in no time.

"Zhan Ji, now go to pay homage to your great-grandfather with grandpa." Zhu Di felt a little annoyed that he had forgotten such an important thing as worshiping Xiaoling. Fortunately, Yang Rong reminded him just now.

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji thought of what he said to Zhu Yuanzhang before, "Grandpa, do you have any food that great-grandfather and the others like to eat?"

"It's ready." Zhu Di put it down and ordered someone to prepare it, and it should be ready soon.

"I promised my great-grandfather that when I worship him, I will bring him his favorite food."

Zhu Di touched Zhu Zhanji's little head, and said in a gentle voice, "We Zhanji are really filial."

"Grandpa is also filial."

Under Zhu Di's intentionally slow pace, it took more than half an hour to arrive at Xiaoling.

When they arrived at Xiaoling, the sacrifices and everything were ready.

When you arrive at Xiaoling, you must first worship Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di brought Zhu Zhanji to kneel in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tombstone, "Father, I brought Zhanji to worship you."

"Great-grandfather, I kept my word and came to worship you, and I brought your favorite food with me."

Then, Zhu Di first asked Zhu Yuanzhang to plead guilty, saying that as the emperor's uncle, he did not fulfill his duty of admonishment, which made Zhu Yunqi be confused by treacherous officials.Secondly, he reported Zhu Yunqi's death to Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, he blamed himself for the incident, saying that he did not protect Zhu Yunqi well.In the end, he said in his heart that the country cannot live without a king, he will ascend the throne, and vowed to manage the country of Ming Dynasty well, so that the common people have enough food and clothing.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he took Zhu Zhanji to kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang.Then he went to pay homage to Empress Ma, Prince Yiwen and others.

After Zhu Di and the others finished worshiping, the soldiers and ministers directly placed the Dharma book and brought the emperor's throne to welcome Zhu Di.

The Fajialu Book is the highest level of ceremonial guard dedicated to the emperor, and other people are not qualified to use it. (Selected from - Ming Cheng Ancestral Biography)
