Chapter 340: The Ancestor Before Heaven and Earth
New Year's Eve has passed, and time has entered the eleventh year of orthodoxy.
In principle, the first to fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year are holidays, but because there are so many sacrificial activities, it is difficult for officials to take all these holidays.
The emperor wanted to worship the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the mountains and rivers, and also the ancestors
Not only officials had to participate in these activities, but the royal descendants were no exception.
For example, at this time, Zhu Jinghong had finished dressing up and was going to attend the worship ceremony at the Shizu Mausoleum.
Zhu Jinghong just walked out of Chengmingyuan, and by chance he met Baochai and Xiangyun.
"See the Thirteenth Master"
Before the two men knelt down, Zhu Jinghong waved and said, "No gifts, no gifts"
"You are going Where?"
Just listen to Xiangyun reply, "The Queen's grace has given us three days of leave."
"So this is how we celebrate the New Year, and we should also allow you a few days of leave."

Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to say a few more words, Yu Hai reminded him, "Thirteenth Master, let's go quickly, the Lord is still waiting."
Nodding, Zhu Jinghong said to Baochai Er Humanity said, "Have a safe journey, I'll take my leave now."
"Thirteenth Master, walk slowly." The two girls followed and saluted.
After Zhu Jinghong left, Xiangyun took Baochai and continued eastward. After a while, they left the palace through Donghua Gate.
Seeing Xiangyun's expression of joy, Baochai couldn't help but ask, "Girl, not long after you entered the palace, you have returned home like an arrow."
This was Baochai's casual question. But Xiangyun said with emotion, "When I was at home, I always felt that the elders were strict. I thought that one day when I grow up, I can leave them earlier. But I have been away from home for a month, but I still miss them."
"Now that I think about it carefully, the elders' strict control is really for my own good."
After hearing this, Baochai smiled and said, "You have grown up if you can think like this."
The two chatted like this, quickly left Donghua Gate, and continued walking to Dong'an Gate.
Outside Dong'an Gate, Xue Pan was already waiting with his servants, looking eagerly in the direction of the palace gate.
"Uncle, the girl is here" Ying'er shouted happily, and then ran to catch up.
At the same time, some people from the Shi family were also heading towards the palace gate.
After leaving the palace gate, Baochai said a few words to Xiangyun before they went back with their families.
Inside the sedan, Baochai was thinking about things at home, but he heard Xue Pan say outside, "Sister, I used to come to pick you up, and Lian Er came up to rush me. Now he has a princess in his family. He doesn’t like us anymore.”
Jia Lian didn’t come today, so Baochai naturally noticed it. "Brother, please don't say this to others. After all, we are two different families. We are here because of friendship but not because of our duty. How can we be resentful because of this?"
"I said sister, brother I have never been resentful. I wish he wouldn’t come.”
“Every time he comes, he cares about this and that. It’s annoying to death.”
After hearing this, Baochai couldn't help but joked, "You're right. When Brother Lian came to play with you, when did you not go there happily?"
Pull the reins , trying to keep level with Baochai's sedan chair, Xue Pan continued, "Sister, you are wrong, now the second brother Lian has become a candidate for the Dragon Guard, and he hasn't come to play with me for a long time."
"I'm so ambitious, brother, you have to learn from the second brother Lian"
Baochai had a good impression of Jia Lian, so she couldn't help but use him to advise her brother.
"Sister, why didn't I improve myself into the Thirteenth Master's errand? Didn't I handle it properly?" Xue Pan was quite dissatisfied.
Inside the sedan, Baochai smiled and said, "Of course that would be better."
Soon they returned to the mansion. This was Baochai's first time entering the capital's mansion.
Compared with Jinling Xue Family and Rongguo Mansion, this place is obviously much smaller, but there are also three entrances to the main courtyard and two left and right cross-courtyards, so it is no problem for a family of three to live there.
At this moment, Aunt Xue was waiting in the inner house, standing under the eaves and staring at the outside door, refusing to leave despite the maid's persuasion.
"The girl is back"
Hearing the news outside, Aunt Xue immediately smiled and walked towards the courtyard. The next moment Baochai walked in surrounded by girls.
"Mother, what are you doing?"
Before Baochai finished speaking, she heard her own mother say, "Bao girl, I hope you are back."
< p> "A daughter meets her mother." Baochai knelt down to salute.However, Aunt Xue supported her and said at the same time, "It's cold outside, don't worry about these false gifts, let's go in and talk."
After entering the house, Baochai formally saluted her mother. , Aunt Xue couldn't resist, so she accepted it. She was really happy that her daughter was filial to her.
“You brothers and sisters have been by my side for so many years. Now that you have been away from home for a long time, I still feel like there is nothing wrong with you. But when the new year comes, my mother always feels empty in her heart.”
“ Now that you are back, my mother feels at ease."
Every sentence in her words is full of Aunt Xue's love for her daughter, and Baochai also had tears in her eyes when she heard it.
Although she has a tough character, is well-educated, and is polite and prudent, she is only a fifteen-year-old girl who has just entered high school in modern times.
"How long will it take for you to come back this time?"
"The empress promised three days' leave"
"It's only three days, but it's better than nothing," Aunt Xue said. Showing regret.
Seeing that his mother was not very happy, Baochai said, "When I come back this time, my mother has given me many things. Please come with me to see them."
After that, Regardless of whether her mother wanted to or not, Baochai took her to the side room, where the girl had already placed her "luggage".
Aunt Xue was not very interested at first, but when she saw Baochai receiving a first-class crown and the royal gift, she started laughing from ear to ear.
For a first-class official uniform, you must know that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion is alsoIt's just a first-class crown uniform.
When Aunt Xue was happy, the emperor led his ministers and officials all the way out of the imperial city.
In order to ensure the safety of the emperor's travels, the Beijing camp and the bodyguards went directly to the army, each dispatching tens of thousands of troops and retinues, and the five-city military and horse divisions were mobilized at full strength.
Everything within five miles in front and three miles to the left and right of the emperor's dragon chariot is in a vacuum state to ensure absolute safety.
In the villages and towns encountered along the way, regardless of the status of the people involved, those who can breathe must be moved out of the warning range.
Under this kind of vigilance, it was absolutely impossible to assassinate the king and kill Jia with human power, but Zhu Jinghong was still worried.
After all, the White Lotus Sect in Beijing is being cut like weeds, so he cannot help but worry about this trip.
In addition to worshiping the ancestral mausoleums today, the next step is to worship the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, but according to the practice of previous years, the emperor should let the prince do it for him.
Logically speaking, worshiping heaven and earth should be placed first, and the emperor should be present in person, but in Zhu Xianming's case, it was completely reversed.
It can also be seen from this how much Zhu Xianming respected his grandfather and placed him directly in front of heaven and earth.
"But this ancestor suppressed the turmoil and rebuilt China. He completely completed the transformation of the southwest and conquered all the chieftains in Tibet and all the tribes in the north."
"Established Qinghai The four major capitals of Anxi, Anxi, Anbei and Andong strengthened the imperial court's control over the surrounding areas, and also promoted the reform of the land in these places. He is simply one of the few strong men in history."
This three It is not an exaggeration to say that fifteen years of ruling experience is as good as cheating. Even if the current emperor has done well enough, he is still far behind compared to Shizu.
Thinking of these, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh, "It's no wonder that the old man respects the ancestors so much. As a descendant who inherits his career, he will naturally be honored."
