The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

There is no need to sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple on New Year's Eve, and the ancestors are worshiped on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In the morning, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated Zhu Di on New Year's Eve.At noon, Zhu Di had lunch with the ministers to celebrate New Year's Eve.In the evening, it's the family banquet, and the ministers don't have to attend.

This year is Zhu Di's first New Year's Eve after taking the throne.Although Zhu Di said not to do it extravagantly and wastefully, the Ministry of Rites and Guanglu Temple are still well run.However, every New Year's Eve luncheon is the same for Zhu Zhanji.

When I was in the palace before, the New Year's Eve lunch was also about eating, drinking, and watching singing and dancing performances.Now in the palace, the New Year's Eve lunch is still like this.However, the New Year's Eve luncheon in the palace has much richer dishes, and the singing and dancing are more exciting than in the palace.However, the young Zhu Zhanji could not appreciate singing and dancing for the time being.

During the luncheon, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally flattered Zhu Di in various ways.The flattering of generals is more straightforward, but the flattering of civil servants is different, nice and warm.

Compared with civil servants, Zhu Zhanji felt that the dragon farts he usually photographed were too superficial.

In addition to flattering Zhu Di, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also flattered Zhu Zhanji.

When Zhu Zhanji heard the ministers praised him, he felt too ashamed even if he was cheeky.

His father Zhu Gaochi is better than him.He was flattered by the ministers, and he was both happy and frightened.

Zhu Gaosui was polite and courteous.Give back the words of others' compliments to others.

During the New Year's Eve luncheon, the only thing that satisfied Zhu Zhanji was the dishes.

A few days ago, Zhu Zhanji beat Guanglu Temple on purpose.If the New Year's Eve luncheon hosted by Guanglu Temple was not to his liking, he would never spare them lightly.

Everyone in Guanglu Temple knew that His Royal Highness Huangsun was very picky about food.If they fail to manage the New Year's Eve banquet, His Royal Highness will not let them go.

Compared with Zhu Di, the emperor, the monks in Guanglu Temple are most afraid of Zhu Zhanji.

Don't look at His Royal Highness as small, but he will never be merciful when punishing people.Before, many of the monks in Guanglu Temple were expelled from the palace, and some were severely beaten.

In the previous dynasty, Zhu Di had meals with the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty.In the harem, Empress Xu and the concubines and wives had meals together.

After lunch, Zhu Zhanji went back to Kunning Palace first.He didn't bother to watch cabaret shows and West End sideshows anymore, they didn't interest him.He prefers reading books to reading these babbling things.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhu Zhanji sat in his small study and read a book.After reading a book for an hour, he took a nap as usual.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong didn't go to see the opera juggling either, they stayed in the side hall to guard Zhu Zhanji.

At the time of Shen, the civil and military officials and the wives left the palace.Of course, the royal family stayed on, and they had to attend the family dinner in the evening.

By the time of You, all civil and military officials received couplets and the word "Fu" rewarded by Zhu Di one after another.

Compared with the couplet written by Zhu Di himself, the ministers want to receive the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji himself.

Fearing that the ministers would fight for the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di ordered them not to do anything wrong.

Zhu Di rewarded the word "Fu" based on merit. People like Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng who had made great military exploits naturally received the most "Fu" characters.

Although the civil servants did not have as many palaces as the military generals, they have worked hard to help the court in the past few months and have also received a lot of "blessings".

At first, civil servants and some generals did not understand why Zhang Yu and the veterans who followed Zhu Di wanted the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji himself.Although Zhu Zhanji is deeply loved by Zhu Di, there is no need for them to fight for the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji.

Later, after they learned from a soldier the magic of the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji himself, they also wanted to get the word "Fu" written by His Royal Highness.

In the past in Beiping Mansion, Empress Xu concealed the fact that the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji was worth thousands of gold.Now I can't hide it anymore, after Chen Wu learned about it, he immediately reported it to him.

Zhu Zhanji did not expect that the word "Fu" he wrote was really worth a thousand gold, "Is it true or not?"

"Your Highness, I dare not lie to you." Chen Wu said, "The word [Fu] you wrote is really worth a thousand gold."

"Hahahahaha..." Zhu Zhanji laughed with his hands on his hips.After laughing for a while, he asked again, "Why is the [Fu] character I wrote worth a thousand gold, because I am the grandson of the emperor?"

"Your Highness, it does not seem to be the case."

"No, why is that?" Zhu Zhanji pinched his chin and said, "Isn't my most valuable thing my identity?"

"It's because the [Fu] character you wrote can really bring good luck, so everyone is rushing to ask for the [Fu] character you wrote." After Chen Wu finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, I heard that in Beiping When you were in the mansion, General Zhang and the others once fought for the [Fu] character written by you, and they fought quite fiercely, isn’t it true?”

"It's true, they even stole the [Fu] characters I wrote from each other." Zhu Zhanji said, with a look of enlightenment on his face, "It turns out that because of this, the [Fu] characters I wrote are worth thousands of gold. .”

"Your Highness, you just said that they stole the word [福] from you?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji briefly told Chen Wu and the others what Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng had done to steal the word "Fu", and Chen Wu and the others were dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect General Zhang and the others to..." Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were heroes in the eyes of Chen Wu and his group of eunuchs. Now that Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng wanted to snatch the word "Fu" written by Zhu Zhanji, they not only stole, They even fought a lot, which really destroyed their image in Chen Wu's mind.

"Hey hey..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly laughed treacherously, "I will write more [Fu] characters now, and then sell them, so that I can get rich."

"Your Highness, this servant will grind ink for you now."

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand to stop Chen Wu and said, "I'm joking."

"Just kidding, Your Highness, are you not selling it?"

"I want to sell it, but I can't." Zhu Zhanji lamented in his heart. He could get rich right away, but he couldn't do it.

"Your Highness, why is this?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a deep expression: "Because I am the grandson of the emperor." If he is an ordinary person, and the word "Fu" written by him is worth thousands of gold, then he must sell it, but unfortunately he is not an ordinary person.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong were stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Zhu Zhanji meant.

"No wonder Grandpa Huang asked me to write so many [Fu] characters."

Chen Wu suddenly thought of a good idea, and smiled flatteringly at Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, this servant has a merciless request."

"What do you want to invite?"

"Your Highness, can this servant ask you for the word [Fu]?"

"You also want the word [Fu] written by me?"

"The slave wants it."

Zhu Zhanji was just about to say yes, but he stopped when he reached his mouth.

"I really want to give you the word [Fu], but you can't take it after I give it. Do you know why?"

Chen Wu was puzzled at first, then his expression became terrified, and his face also turned pale in an instant.The same is true of Wang Zhong.

Seeing Chen Wu's panicked look, Zhu Zhanji knew they had thought of it.

"Do you still dare to ask me to write [福]?"

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong knelt down, and they said with pale faces: "I dare not."

"Get up."

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong stood up.However, because they were deeply frightened, both of their backs were covered with cold sweat.

"Although I can't write the character [福] to you, I can write other characters to you."

"Your Highness, can you?"

"Of course, go get the red paper."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji wrote a "Ji" character and gave it to Chen Wu and the others, "You fold this [Ji] character into a small piece and wear it on your body as a talisman."

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I hope that the [吉] character I wrote will bring you good luck."

"Definitely."

Seeing that Chen Wu and the others were so sure, the corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said helplessly, "Just believe it." After finishing speaking, he said, "By the way, if you don't want to be snatched away, It's best not to tell anyone."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the servants will never tell anyone else." Chen Wu and Wang Zhong carefully put the word [吉] that Zhu Zhanji gave them in their arms.

"Actually, you don't need the word [吉] I wrote."

"Your Highness, why do you say that?"

"Because you have been with me all the time." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "If I am really auspicious as everyone said, and can bring blessings or good luck to others, you have been with me every day, and you have been infected with it for a long time. It's a blessing, isn't it?"

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong looked at each other, and they felt that His Highness was right.

"Your Highness said yes."

"Look at Grandpa Huang, they won't ask me for the word [Fu]."

It really is.

"It is a great blessing for the servants to serve His Highness."

"So it's superfluous for you." Zhu Zhanji smiled again and said, "However, since I gave it to you, you can take it."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's almost time, let's go to the dinner party."

The dinner is a family banquet, and the participants are all members of the royal family, so the atmosphere is more relaxed than the luncheon.

Although it is a family banquet, the process is the same as that of a luncheon.

Zhu Zhanji observed the royal family while eating delicious food.

The royal clansmen who stayed in the capital were... how should I put it, they were all useless and without any threat.Other clan members, such as King Ning, stayed in their fiefs and did not come to the capital to congratulate New Year's Eve.

The vassal king cannot leave the fief and come to the capital without an imperial decree.

King Ning and the others wanted to come to the capital to spend New Year's Eve with Zhu Di. After all, this was Zhu Di's first New Year's Eve after he took the throne, but Zhu Di did not agree.

Zhu Di was not worried about Ning Wang and the others, but worried about their fiefdom.Furthermore, the vassal king cannot come to the capital casually, this is the ancestor's rule.

After the family banquet, Zhu Di took Empress Xu and the others to watch the fireworks together.

After the fireworks, the royal clan members left the palace.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi are going to watch the night next.As for Empress Xu and Zhu Zhanji, they went to rest.

Empress Xu and Zhang Mingzhen are pregnant, so they are not suitable for vigil.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaosui, father and son, watched the night while drinking tea and chatting by the fire.

The father and son sat together and didn't talk about major national affairs, but about small household matters, and the atmosphere was rare and warm.

At the end of the vigil, the father and son went back to their rooms to rest.

At Maoshi, Zhu Di and the others got up again.

Today we will offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple of the Son of Heaven.

Although this is not Zhu Di's first time offering sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple, it is the first time he has offered sacrifices on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is of extraordinary significance.

Offering sacrifices to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year is actually praying for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.If the sacrifice is not good, there will be various natural and man-made disasters in the new year.

Not long after Zhu Di took the throne, he naturally hoped that the new year would be smooth and rainy.If there were natural and man-made disasters in many places like when Zhu Yunqi was in power, then Zhu Di, the real dragon emperor, would definitely be questioned.
