In May, Hu Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet, died.

According to everyone's expectations, he died quietly at home.

The emperor is still kind, and he has achieved the ultimate goal of chasing, rewarding and shade.

Similarly, the new position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet is just as everyone thinks, with the original secondary assistant Yang Rong taking over.

However, due to Hu Guang's death, the emperor did not replace a vacant position in the cabinet.

Today's cabinet is a brand new power core led by Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and Yang Shiqi assisted him.

The governors of the Five Army Governor's Office, who have been renamed the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, still follow the original law and enter the cabinet as per the second half.

Everyone can see that the change of power in the court has been happening quietly.

And with the arrival of June Six.

The determination of the foundation of power in the Ming Dynasty really kicked off.

Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of Emperor Yongle, will complete his wedding today.

The crown prince who has not started a family is still a child after all.

Only with the concubine's crown prince can he truly enter the power center of the Ming Dynasty and formally have the power to participate in all decisions of the boss' empire.

Early in the morning, the sky had not yet brightened.

In the two capitals and 13 provinces, except for Yingtian officials, officials from all over the country who happened to return to Beijing to report their duties urged their families to dress up early in the morning.

Some local officials who were close to him also submitted a request to return to Beijing earlier. The local officials who received the approval also walked out of inns everywhere at this time.

They went to the palace with instructions and gifts to the soon-to-be-married crown prince.

Not everyone can get into the palace.

Except for those who were in the imperial examination and high school that year, I had the honor to go in.

Apart from this, most people did not have a second chance to enter the huge palace city in Yingtian City.

And it is too far away from Yingtian City.

For example, in the northwest, nine borders, southern borders, Japan, Liaodong and other places, although the officials here did not receive permission from the court, they all sent people to deliver more or less gifts.

The emperor's attention to the crown prince can be felt in the Ming Dynasty even if he was a blind man or a deaf man.

It is precisely because of this that Yingtian City today seems particularly festive and lively.

From the gates of the city to the imperial city, everything is full of bright red.

Yingtian City is immersed in a sea of ​​flowers.

The flower varieties that have never been found in Jiangnan are decorated with colorful colors at this time.

These were sent back from southern Xinjiang by eunuchs from the Three Treasures with treasure ships and pots and soil.

Even though it was not dawn, all the officials in Beijing were already rushing to the imperial city.

In addition to these officials, the people in Yingtian City also got up early.

Everyone has the words "Big Red" posted at their doorstep.

This was not prepared or requested by the court, but the spontaneous behavior of the people of Yingtian City.

I don’t know who made the decision. Without Zhu Zhanji’s knowledge, Daming Xunbao, the thing with the highest popularity in Yingtian City, has been publishing and promoting what the Emperor’s grandson has done in recent years, especially the contributions he has made to the Ming Dynasty in the past two years.

From educating the grassland barbarian Alutai, what is the Ming Dynasty, to driving away the eight-subborn families who have been oppressing the people for many years, southern Xinjiang wiped out the remnants of the Jiaozhi dynasty and conquered southern Xinjiang, the salt affairs of the two Huaihe Rivers were reformed, and finally eliminated the coastal Japanese plagues and landed in Japan.

Everything Zhu Zhanji did was clearly published in the Daming Newspaper.

At this point, the image of a Ming heir who was dedicated to the people and the country was perfectly established.

The people are not really foolish.

They simply lack the acceptance of knowledge and the real understanding of the world.

But their eyes and hearts are more clear than anyone else and feel them appropriately.

A young man who works for the Ming Dynasty and the people can easily be loved by the people at the bottom of society.

What's more, countless tabloids that have emerged in Yingtiancheng have published various gossip about the Taisun.

The most shocking thing is that the real author of the story of the Dragon Knight in the Ming Dynasty newspaper was actually the crown prince.

This made the people even more love their grandson.

Who wouldn't like such a down-to-earth heir to the Ming Dynasty?

This is like a people's artist!

Zhu Zhanji didn't know about his gossip about him at this time.

The three girls have been placed in Xu Jingchang's home since last month.

Although he didn't need to intervene in the marriage and he could show up today, he was not idle either.

Wan Gao has taken over the reform of Jiangsu.

Even if there is Riyuetang's assistance, he still needs to make a decision on some things.

The first batch of food and supplies in southern Xinjiang that departed from Dagula Port were already on the sea route back north, waiting to arrive at Hejian Prefecture before being sent to Beiping City.

He also solves various problems from time to time for various researches in Riyuetang Laboratory.

In short, Zhu Zhanji is very busy and has no time to spare.

The same is true today.

Early in the morning, Zhu Zhanji, who had just decided to implement a new textile machine yesterday and fell asleep after returning from the imperial village outside the city, was cruelly interrupted and awakened in a daze.

Countless palace servants surrounded Zhu Zhanji and served him to wear auspicious clothes made by the Ministry of Rites and the Shangyi Bureau.

Then, before Zhu Zhanji could wake up completely, he was carried to the palace.

First, he followed the old man to worship the ancestors of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, and then he was arranged outside the palace like a mascot. Following the instructions of officials sent by the Ministry of Rites, he welcomed the royal nobles who arrived.

The Zhu family is the royal family.

It is the most noble family in the world.

Therefore, there is no saying to welcome the bride, only the rules for marrying a daughter.

Early on, the palace sent people out of the palace to inform the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Then, as the mother's family, Duke Dingguo called on his family to get busy, while Duke Dingguo Xu Jingchang rode a tall horse and led a long bride-sending team toward the palace.

The weather is already very hot now.

As time goes by, the temperature outside the palace is getting higher and higher.

This made Zhu Zhanji very uncomfortable.

When formulating the process, the Ministry of Rites did not consider the feelings of the parties involved and the actual climate.

They all asked the Shangyi Bureau to create auspicious clothes to welcome them according to the etiquette recorded in ancient books and the marriage process stipulated by the Ming Dynasty law firm.

Therefore, this led to the auspicious clothes that Zhu Zhanji wore at this time being very thick.

It can be said that the inner layer is layered in the outer layer, layer by layer, so cumbersome that Zhu Zhanji can't straighten his waist.

However, even so, as long as Zhu Zhanji bends a little, he will be carefully reminded by the Ministry of Rites officials following him.

"Top grandson..."

"Shut up! Be careful to get you to Japan!" Zhu Zhanji couldn't figure out how many times the guy behind him had reminded him, which made him whisper and threaten him.

However, officials from the Ministry of Rites still said in a deep voice: "The wedding of the Taisun is based on the classics system. This is the rule set by His Majesty."

After saying that, the officials of the Ministry of Rites folded their hands in front of them and lowered their heads slightly.

Zhu Zhanji sighed helplessly. He was about to look back and see clearly what this ignorant official of the Ministry of Rites looked like when he was put on his shoulder with one hand and then his body was pulled tilted.

"Boy! I can't stand it for so long?" Zhu Di's voice came into Zhu Zhanji's ears.

Zhu Zhanji quickly changed into a flattering expression on his face: "Grandpa, why are you out? It's hot here, come in and rest."

Zhu Di, who also put on a festive dress today, looked very happy. He smiled and shook his head and patted the back of his eldest grandson's head: "Do you know what the etiquette we inherit now are for?"

Zhu Zhanji fell silent.

At this time, the old man, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, nodded to a royal family who had just arrived.

Zhu Di patted the back of the eldest grandson's head again: "Etiquette is used to regulate people. If there are no ritual rules, what is the difference between people and those beasts? Since ancient times, enemies who have gone from the north and south have committed tragic crimes because they do not know etiquette."

On a happy day, the old man suddenly said this, which made Zhu Zhanji feel a little alert.

The old man's words are not just literal.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji felt that the old man really wanted to start preparing to move the capital and the Northern Expedition after his wedding.

The reason why the old man has this statement now can be described in two words.

brainwashing!

The heirs of the Ming Dynasty selected and trained by him must inherit his thoughts on governing the country.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and nodded, then looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites who had been remembered by him before: "Zheng Zhong wrote a letter saying that he had gotten a lot of Japanese girls. I'll ask him to send some to your house when he turned around."
