Emperor Hongzhi acted particularly vigorously and resolutely this time, leaving as soon as he said, and soon the holy car set off.

This caught everyone by surprise.

However, after all... this is indeed a waste of money.

Therefore, as long as the prince is ordered to supervise the country, the guards of honor, guards, and supplies used are all ready-made.

With money, it's good to waste it once in a while.

For things like ancestor worship, the British Duke Zhang Mao has a place to use.

He was ordered to lead a team first, but Fang Jifan had to accompany him.

Fang Jifan really couldn't stand this uncle.

Along the way, Zhang Mao and Fang Jifan conducted in-depth discussions, mostly on the etiquette of worshiping ancestors.

From Zhang Mao's point of view, he was already old, but His Majesty always needed someone to worship his ancestors. Fang Jifan was a son-in-law, and he was really the best successor.

The most important thing is that being able to worship the ancestors shows the trust in the palace. Otherwise, why did His Majesty choose him among so many princes?

Fang Jifan has been idle all day long, and sooner or later something will happen, it is better to give him an errand, when people talk about it in the future, they will inevitably give him a thumbs up and call him a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jifan's ears were almost callused.

But Zhang Mao doesn't like to ride a car, he wants to ride a horse. It's nothing more than riding a horse, but you still have to carry Fang Jifan to ride with him.

He always sighed: "Our ancestors followed Taizu Gao to win the world immediately. How can future generations forget their roots? I don't care about others, I only care about you."

Fang Jifan sat on the horse, listening to his babbling, he fell into a drowsy sleep, his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Only ten days later, the vanguard's troops arrived in Zhongdu.

The ministers and eunuchs who guarded the mausoleum in the central capital came to welcome them one after another.

They are familiar with Zhang Mao, but Fang Jifan doesn't know each other well, they only think that Fang Jifan is Zhang Mao's little follower.

Most of the ministers and eunuchs guarding the mausoleum still have a bit of face, and ordinary people naturally don't need to talk to them, so Fang Jifan ignored them.

When Zhang Mao pointed to Fang Jifan, he said, "This is Fang Jifan, the Duke of Qi. Come and see him."

Fang...Ji...Fan...

When these people heard these three names, they subconsciously felt that they sounded so familiar.

Next... well, I'm going to freak out.

Could it be the legendary...

With a click, Fang Jifan's feet fell to his knees.

If he was in the capital, Fang Jifan certainly had a bad reputation, but most people just felt a little scared when they heard it. After all... In the eyes of everyone, Fang Jifan in Beijing still belongs to the category of human beings after all. No matter how bad it is, the fear in my heart is still limited.

But outside, it's completely different, because there are a few more procedures in this rumor, and this villain with brain disease has turned into a monster who has no problems but likes to eat people. A monster thrown into a millstone and ground into powder.

Therefore, everyone was trembling, and they didn't dare to look up at Fang Jifan anymore, they just said tremblingly: "I have seen... I have seen Duke Qi... Duke Qi... Gong... Gong... Hou Wandai."

Fang Jifan frowned. What he hated the most was that Duke Qi was followed by a few more Dukes.

Fortunately, he has always been good-natured and doesn't like to argue with others, so he finally smiled and said: "Excuse me, excuse me, there is no need to be polite."

The British princes and others have just arrived, so they need to make preparations for His Majesty to sacrifice himself to Emperor Gao.

Zhang Mao personally arranged the arrangements, very skillful, everything was in order and clear.

Fengyang, the central capital, is buried with the parents of Emperor Taizu Gao, which is called Zuling.

Only after Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, although Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, there is still a god seat here.

Fang Jifan personally went to the Hall of Enjoyment of Emperor Taizu Gao. The majestic portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao was still lifelike.

Fang Jifan paid homage, thinking in his heart, seeing Emperor Gao today means that everyone has known each other. Emperor Gao, you have a spirit in the sky. If you hear something in the sky, don't believe it. It's all villains telling stories, you old man Wise and powerful, Weiwu scriptures, God-given wisdom and courage, will be able to see clearly.

After speaking, he moved to the left side hall to rest.

This hall was originally used for the priests to rest. Zhang Mao had been drinking tea here long ago. When he saw Fang Jifan coming in, he didn't respond. He just sat there in a daze, staring straight at the stone tablet outside the window. .

Fang Jifan was a little strange, and said: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi..."

Zhang Mao suddenly came back to his senses, but he showed a tired face. He lazily rolled up his auspicious clothes, and said a little weakly: "It's really cold."

But...it's not really cold at this time, which makes Fang Jifan feel baffled.

Zhang Mao showed melancholy, and suddenly said: "I have been here more than ten times. Every time I go to visit Emperor Taizu Gao in Xiangdian, I seem to see him smiling at me. Alas...but now...every time I visit Emperor Gao, I'm thinking, maybe... this is the last time I come to sacrifice, and it won't be long before I go to see the old man in person. This person is born, old, sick, and dying. Emperor Gao is like this, and so are your father and me. When I was young, seeing the world became more and more boring. I always felt that people are alive, so life is boring, but they are just eating and waiting to die. I feel that there are many things in this world

, I haven't experienced it yet. "

"Look here." Speaking of this, Zhang Mao lifted the blanket on the table and pointed to the table.

Fang Jifan took a closer look and saw that there were many scratches here, densely packed.

Zhang Mao forced a smile and said: "Since the construction of this ancestral mausoleum, I don't know when the rules were, all the ministers who came here to sacrifice will leave a notch here. Now it has been seven or eight generations, and there are more and more notches. There are more than a dozen marks on the old man alone. In the future, there will be people left here. These marks seem to be messy, but in the eyes of the ancestors and the old man, they are actually the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty. The proof that there are people guarding the sacrificial offerings."

Zhang Mao cheered up: "The minister who came here to sacrifice has passed away. The old man is still here. Maybe he will pass away soon, but our descendants and grandchildren will still come here. People can die, but the country needs eternity." Continue, otherwise, how to comfort the ancestors, I am afraid that the descendants do not know the difficulties of the ancestors to start a business and maintain a business. Since then, no one has remembered it here. These countless ancestral mausoleums and palaces have finally been called residual monuments Duanjie, let the ups and downs erode, only weeds remain, but I don’t know what kind of desolate scene it is.”

Fang Jifan thought that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the majestic Mausoleum of the Central Capital of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and set on fire. Even the pines and cypresses that had been planted were cut down and burned by the invaders.

Zhang Mao suddenly said again: "Why did Your Majesty come to Zhongdu suddenly?"

"Ah... this..." Fang Jifan didn't expect Zhang Mao's thinking to jump like this: "this... Your Majesty came here to hope that what Shi Bo feared would not happen, or, that it would be postponed."

Zhang Mao frowned and said, "Why, are the rumors true, His Majesty really wants to abolish stereotypes?"

Fang Jifan: "..."

How should he answer this?

Fang Jifan remembered that His Majesty had warned him to keep it a secret before, but how could Zhang Mao have even heard of it?

Fang Jifan paused for a moment, then quickly denied it: "Nothing, who made this rumor."

"It's being spread like this in Beijing." Zhang Mao frowned unhappily and said, "You kid, don't you just hide it from me?"

"I...I didn't..." Fang Jifan said weakly: "I don't know anything, Shibo, are you hungry? This priest has slaughtered so many animals, why don't we eat some?"

Zhang Mao quickly shook his head: "This is to shake the ancestral system, maybe it is to shake the foundation. Stereotyped selection of scholars is good or bad. I am a vulgar person and I don't know much about it. But I only know, but all things that are taken for granted, Once there is a change, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Your Majesty is holy. His mind cannot be guessed by a courtier, but the old man is still a little worried. There are immortals. Jifan, His Majesty trusts you very much, you have to be by His Majesty's side, think of some good ideas, and don't always think about what you have and what you don't."

"Oh, oh..." Fang Jifan said perfunctorily, but he was still pondering in his heart, why the whole capital...knows? Let's check who it is. It can't be said that it was spread by Xishan Academy.

Yes, it seems that Xiao Jing was there at the time, or...

At this time, Zhang Mao said again: "Of course, what the hell, since His Majesty has changed his mind, let's just follow it. Whether to change or not is a matter for His Majesty to think about. I will only be responsible for watching who dares to change." To add to the chaos, whoever wants to shake the foundation of the country should just get on the horse and put down the chaos."

Fang Jifan nodded obediently.

Fang Jifan lived in the ancestral mausoleum for a few days, and then Sheng Jia came.

Zhang Mao led Fang Jifan and others to meet him.

Emperor Hongzhi first went to the ancestral mausoleum to worship the ancestors, and then moved to the Taizu Gaohuang Xiangdian to worship the Taizu Gao Emperor. After this day, Emperor Hongzhi had traveled a long distance, and he was getting older, so he was naturally unable to bear it. , but still stayed alone in Emperor Taizu Gao's hall for a full night, while the courtiers and eunuchs outside waited obediently outside the hall.

His Majesty stayed here, and everyone dared not leave.

At night, although the hall of enjoyment was dimly illuminated by candlelight, Emperor Hongzhi sat on his knees at his highness, looking up at the altar, and stayed alone with the altar of Emperor Taizu Gao all night.

It is not known whether Emperor Taizu Gao had a spirit.

No one knew what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking.

The next day, when the dawn reflected into Xiangdian.

Emperor Hongzhi finally came out, his figure was stretched very long by the dawn, and all the officials outside the palace were sleepy and tired. At this moment, he cheered up and looked up to see Emperor Hongzhi's pale face, but on this tired face, there was something A pair of exceptionally sharp eyes.
