Chapter 246: The Emperor Worships The Saint, And All Civil And Military Officials Are Horrified [Ple
Seven days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a sacrifice for the Shennong family, and it was also a major national sacrifice to bring all civil and military officials together.
Although the Ministry of Rites didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang was so good, he suddenly decided to sacrifice to the Shennong family.
But let's just offer sacrifices. It's not a big deal. Isn't that what they do in the Ministry of Rites?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang only told them that they would sacrifice to the Shennong family in seven days, but he did not specify which temple to worship the Shennong family.
As a last resort, people from the Ministry of Rites went to ask Prince Zhu Biao and other princes who were supervising the country and assisting the government.
However, Prince Zhu Biao's answer to them was to wait until the time comes, asking them to prepare some sacrificial things first and then bring them over together.
There was no way, Prince Zhu Biao and other princes had said so. Although everyone in the Ministry of Rites felt very annoyed, they could only follow what Prince Zhu Biao and others said and prepare a mobile sacrificial ceremony.
Seven long days later, when the sky was slightly bright, the Jinyi Guards opened the way, and the left and right government troops escorted them along the way, all the way from the entrance of the palace of Yingtian Mansion to the Agricultural College dozens of miles away.
In front of the field where "590" potatoes are planted in the Agricultural College, there is a mobile altar made of sandalwood, three feet high and nine feet wide, prepared by the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Yuanzhang led Queen Ma, and the two stood side by side. In front of them was a six-foot-long incense table.
On the left side of the incense table, there are cattle, sheep, and pigs used for sacrifice, and on the right side of the incense table, there are rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean grains. In the middle of the table, there are ten huge ancient bronze incense burners.
Behind Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes lined up on both sides, forming a semicircle around Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
Under the altar, there are all the civil and military officials of the current imperial court.
The generals include: Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, Duke Tang He of Xin, Duke Chang Mao of Zheng, Marquis Lanyu of Yongchang, Marquis Fu Youde of Yingchuan...
In the previous rebellion cases of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, the top-level generals and most of the feudal nobles were not involved.
Therefore, there are five major princes standing on the side of the military commander like a lord, which is still very dignified.
Among the civil servants, the one who stood first was the aging Song Lian.
It turns out that in history, Song Lian, who had resigned and returned to his hometown, was exiled to Maozhou, Sichuan in his later years because his grandson Song Shen was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case. He finally died of illness on the way.
However, in this life, Zhu Yuanzhang may also feel that after he killed Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, there was no one on the civil servants side who could take action.
In addition, Song Lian was already old and might die one day, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not have to worry about Song Lian being as powerful as Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang and threatening the emperor's imperial power.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not involve his grandson Song Shen in the Hu Weiyong case, and called Song Lian back again. He did not need to do anything, as long as he stood at the top of the civil servants and tried to be a civil servant's facade.
Standing behind Song Lian were all unknown young civil servants.
Because most of the top civil servants with names and surnames were previously captured by Zhu Yuanzhang on the crime of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang rebelling against his colleagues.
However, although these young civil servants are relatively young, with the positions of top civil servants at the upper level all vacant, and Zhu Yuanzhang now implements the official salary promotion system of base salary + reward commission + performance appraisal.
On the contrary, these young civil servants are full of energy and energy, and each of them can be called the Juan King among the Juan Kings.
Different from the official positions of military commanders, the positions of important ministers such as Six Bu Shangshu and Six Bu Shilang are now vacant among civil servants!
As long as they are brave enough and work hard enough, they can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be recognized as a civil servant and sit on a high position that would have been difficult for them to reach in their lifetime.
Therefore, compared with the majestic, dignified and solemn generals, who have the air of important officials in the imperial court, although the civil servants lack the air of important officials in the imperial court, they have a vitality that the generals do not have.
At this moment, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, or the civil and military officials under the altar, all were wearing majestic sacrificial robes.
When the first ray of the morning sun fell on the incense table, the Minister of Rites and Minister under the altar shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, your Majesty, please offer incense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up three thick sandalwood sticks from the incense table, lit them on the candle, bowed to the sky three times and paid homage to the Shennong family, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
However, just when the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister was about to speak and call the queen and the princes to offer incense, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly interrupted:
"Please Saint Anonymous, come to the altar!!!"
The acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister under the altar was stunned on the spot, Saint Anonymous?!
What the hell is this?!
There is no such thing in the etiquette process of worshiping the Shennong family!!!
And no one has told him before that there is another Saint Anonymous!!!
Suddenly an unknown Saint appears on the altar, how should the etiquette proceed after that?!!
Prince Zhu Biao, who was on the altar, turned his head slightly, looked at the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister, who was standing not far from his feet, and whispered:
"You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Hearing these words from Prince Zhu Biao, the Acting Minister of Rites and Acting Minister was confused again.
What do you mean he doesn’t have to worry about it anymore?!
He is the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister. Isn’t that what he is in charge of?!!
If he doesn't care, then what etiquette is there?!
Although he was confused in his heart, the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister still looked at the prince Zhu Biao and nodded obediently, indicating that he understood and that whatever his majesty said would be whatever he said.
After all, he still knew very well why he was the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites and acting minister.
Isn't it just because the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Rites were all involved in the rebellion of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, and Zhu Yuanzhang executed the nine tribes...
That's why he, who is just the head of the Ministry of Rites, can become the acting minister and acting minister.
In a hut on the opposite edge of the potato field, Yan Changqing is wearing a red flame sacrificial robe specially modified by the palace costume supervisor with gold five stars embroidered on the chest, and a black-yellow Dangkang mask that covers half of his face, which is a sign of fertility. .
Stepping on the rising sun, we walked slowly facing Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, and all the important civil and military officials of the imperial court.
When he reached the altar, he stepped onto the altar without any hesitation, where only the emperor, the queen and the princes could stand.
Seeing this, there was a slight commotion among the civil and military officials and ministers under the altar.
But under the majestic gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang looking back, all the civil and military officials and ministers fell silent.
The more than 50,000 lives lost in the rebellion of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang can be said to have pushed Zhu Yuanzhang's power to its peak!!!
Therefore, even in the face of Yan Changqing's unruly behavior at this moment, under the intimidation of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, all the civil and military officials below did not dare to have any objections.
Yan Changqing walked to the incense table on the altar, picked up three sticks of incense and lit it, bowed slightly to the sky and paid three respects to Mrs. Shennong, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Then Empress Ma, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes successively offered incense and bowed to worship the Shennong family.
Under the horrified eyes of all the civil and military officials below, Zhu Yuanzhang led Queen Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, to bow to Yan Changqing!!
And Yan Changqing did not shy away. In front of a large number of civil and military officials, he directly accepted the bow from Zhu Yuanzhang and others!!!
At this moment, even Wei Guogong Xu Da, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Xin Guogong Tang He and others who followed Zhu Yuanzhang through life and death on the battlefield and crawled and wallowed among the dead fell into 3.4 stagnation.
At this moment, the emperor, who holds the supreme, noble and supreme power in the world, would actually bow down to ten people who they don’t know where they came from?!
This is simply unbelievable!!!
Even people like Wei Guogong Xu Da, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Xin Guogong Tang He and others unconsciously pinched their own thighs hard. The force was so strong that the thighs under the sacrificial robes were directly broken. It turned into a purple color.
Feeling the severe pain coming from their thighs, Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, and Tang He, Duke of Xin, all nodded unconsciously, with the same thought flashing through their minds.
【Well, very good, it hurts!】
[Then it seems that I am not dreaming, I must be crazy!!]
[Go back and see the imperial doctor at the Imperial Hospital to see if the madness can be cured!!!]
