Chapter 2470: Resentment over the Capital

Since Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has not had such a major event for a long time.

So everyone inside and outside the palace cheered up, and all kinds of warnings and promises abounded.

"I...I am a little worried."

Tomorrow is the auspicious day for the crown prince's canonization, and the palace is filled with tension and joy.

Many eunuchs and maids came today. Even if they stood outside Kunning Palace for a while, they left happily, as if they could get some blessings from the future prince.

The two children had been called to the side hall, and Hu Shanxiang was sitting beside the bed blankly.

The afternoon sun was slightly bright, coming through the window and shining on her body.

She turned sideways, with the left side of her face illuminated by the bright light, while the right side of her face was hidden in the darkness, with a bit of panic and disbelief.

"Yian!"

"Sparrow tail!"

She was alone in the room.

Everything seemed to be frozen, even the flying dust in the light pillar slowed down.

She stared at all this blankly, and a palace maid came in outside the door and said: "My dear, Aunt Yi'an has been asked to learn the rules, and Father Bird Tail is also here."

Hu Shanxiang said oh and then waved his hand.

Only then did she remember that Yi'an and Quewei had to learn etiquette. If it was inconvenient tomorrow, they would carry the corn through the etiquette.

The emperor said that if the corn is making trouble, then most of the procedures will be omitted. He appointed two people to serve as envoys and deputy envoys to welcome Cebao and complete the matter.

Hu Shanxiang shook his head, his eyes filled with light.

This was Corn's moment. Could she really be willing to watch the whole ceremony simply end?

"Where's the corn?"

The palace maid outside the door appeared again and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is also learning the rules."

Hu Shanxiang nodded and murmured: "Yes! We need to learn the rules. It's pity that my son is so young..."

Everyone said that the ceremony should be simplified, but Hu Shanxiang gritted her teeth and let Corn learn the rules. In order to make Corn behave better, she asked Duan Duan to follow and comfort him.

She just sat blankly in front of the window until it got dark and footsteps came from outside.

"Queen mother..."

Hu Shanxiang rushed up suddenly. The first time she stumbled, she almost fell.

She stretched out her hand to hold the vase on the shelf next to it, and then continued to rush over.

The shelf shook, and so did the vase on it.

"Mother!"

There was grievance in Yu Yu's voice, and Hu Shanxiang rushed out.

Corn was standing outside with Duan Duan being led. When he saw Hu Shanxiang rushing out, Corn said aggrievedly: "Mother, I'm tired and in pain."

Hu Shanxiang slowly squatted in front of him, then picked up his little hand and watched the delicate skin turn red.

She put her little hand to her mouth and blew gently.

"We're not going."

Hu Shanxiang gently touched Yu Zi's knees, and then there were tears in his eyes.

Corn hissed in pain. When she saw Hu Shanxiang crying, he reached out and wiped her face randomly and said, "Mother, I'm old."

Hu Shanxiang looked at the corn with tears in his eyes and said, "My son, I have suffered so much for you."

…

"Are you all ready?"

Zhu Zhanji asked.

His expression was indifferent, and there was no hint of joy.

After lunch, the emperor seemed to have some problems with his mood. He was not very happy and a little depressed.

Yu Jia said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has visited several times today. Mr. Hu said that everything is ready."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and walked out of Nuan Pavilion alone.

He slowly walked outside the main hall door and looked inside quietly.

The hall is magnificent,

It was magnificent, but Zhu Zhanji felt a wave of cold air creeping into him.

"It's cold in this location."

He walked in slowly and walked to the front of the throne step by step.

"I thought of the time when Emperor Wen was here, and I was standing below. The Ming Dynasty at that time had nothing to do with me, and it was very relaxed."

Zhu Zhanji stood there with his head held high, as if lost in memories.

"This is the capital established by Grandpa Huang. Three generations of emperors have sat here and watched the huge Ming Dynasty and tried their best. Now I will prepare the next emperor for the Ming Dynasty, just like Emperor Wen and Emperor Ren did..."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head slightly and laughed at himself: "This is the emperor. In many cases, he is not as good as the people in the well. Ten years later, twenty years later... I will eventually grow old. This position will be replaced by another person." Go up, the only thing that can be eternal is...hope...only the Ming Dynasty is eternal."

He stood there with his hands folded and asked, "What did Xinghebo say?"

Cao Fei, who had already rushed back to the capital, said: "Your Majesty, Xing Hebo said that no one dares to rebel, but depression is probably indispensable. He also said..."

Zhu Zhanji turned his back to the door and smiled: "What else did he say?"

Cao Fei lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Xinghe said that the sky above the capital is probably full of resentment. We need to invite the Zhang family from Longhu Mountain to come and take a look."

Um?

Zhu Zhanji laughed immediately.

"He always says that religion cannot be trusted, and ghosts and gods cannot be relied upon. Does this mean that Zhang Zhen's family's Taoism is boundless?"

Yu Jia felt that Cao Fei had stolen a lot of the limelight, so she got ahead of him and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhenren's Taoism is unfathomable. Xing Hebo must have been looking up to him for a long time and can't see him, so he feels regretful."

As for the resentment hanging over the capital, Yu Jia felt that Fang Xing was joking about state affairs. If people outside heard this, something would happen.

"The Taoism is profound?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his head slightly, looked at the beams, and said: "Taoism and my family have a long history. As for Taoism... Taoism is not as good as people's hearts."

He nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and then turned around and said, "There will be many people watching the ceremony tomorrow, and military honors... let them come too."

Zhu Zhanji has never said whether the prince will come out for tomorrow's ceremony or someone else will do it, so some of the specifications of the ceremony are naturally ambiguous, waiting for the emperor's decision.

There are already many people on standby in the palace today, waiting for the emperor's decision, and then go out of the palace to inform those people to hurry to the palace tomorrow.

The best horses, the most loyal guards, countless people are preparing for tomorrow's ceremony.

At this moment, the capital has begun to be semi-martial law, and there are more soldiers on the street, looking at pedestrians with cold eyes.

The yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture, the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division, everyone, unless you are already lying on the bed dying, you must appear on the street.

Teams of Taoists entered the capital, they lowered their heads and silently followed the officials in front of them.

These are the Taoists of Zhengyi.

The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry. According to the government, they had to buy everything they needed today and not buy anything before noon tomorrow.

This rule was stricter than before, but because the time was short, no complaints were heard.

Several temples in the capital suddenly started to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Countless scriptures were recited devoutly, and the old monks sat at the top, opening their eyes from time to time to see if the disciples below were sincere.

Two old monks were walking outside, looking calm, and they didn't even take the ceremony of enthroning the prince seriously.

"They are a mess internally, and Zhengyi and Quanzhen have some signs of this."

"Zhengyi was suppressed by Quanzhen during the Yuan Dynasty, and they were resentful. Later, Quanzhen became too proud of itself and lost the debate to Buddhism, and it has been declining since then. Zhengyi was only good at the beginning, and someone once led the Taoist affairs in various places in Jiangnan..."

"Quanzhen once went to the desert and was loved by the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty at that time. How could Zhengyi compete with it?"

"Zhengyi...now the Zhang family is smart and refuses to get too involved."

"But the Tianshi of the Zhang family was named by the Yuan Dynasty!"

"This dynasty is just a real person."

"Yes! Real person."

"No matter who it is, religion can appease the people, and they are all targets for them to win over."
