Chapter 228 Who is the Big and Little King
The biggest highlight of the entire Wuying Palace Crowning Ceremony is actually not the two princes Zhu Zaijing and Zhu Zaizhen, but Emperor Jiajing!
At the moment of the crowning ceremony, Zhu Zaijing finally met this father who had never had any real hero.
At the beginning of the crowning ceremony, as the ceremony officer said, "The emperor has arrived," Zhu Zaijing suddenly realized that he had never seen his father in this life.
So when he was kneeling down and worshiping, Zhu Zaijing actually put his toes up, trying to stretch his head to see what the emperor's face looked like.
But the moment he stood up on his tiptoes, his good brother Zhu Zaizhen beside him was so frightened that he peed. How dare he peek at you like this? Does this still have a sense of awe?
Zhu Zaizhen was anxious, and pulled Zhu Zaijing's sleeve with his little hand, and whispered urgently: "Kneel down quickly!"
Zhu Zaijing then realized and quickly followed Zhu Zaijing Zai Zhen knelt on the ground together to welcome the arrival of Emperor Jiajing.
After Zhu Zaijing knelt on the ground, he still showed no awe at all. He turned his head to Zhu Zaizhen and said, "Thank you, brother Zhen."
Zhu Zai on the side When Zhen heard Zhu Zaijing's voice again, he couldn't help but feel frightened. Why was this third brother so indifferent?
The Holy Spirit is in front of you, and you still dare to whisper in a low voice. You are really brave!
Seeing Zhu Zaizhen's reaction, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. It seemed that his cheap brother was still kind in his heart. Otherwise, why would he be so nervous to remind him of etiquette?
Just when all the officials in front of Wuying Hall were kneeling on the ground, Emperor Jiajing finally appeared from behind the hall. Following the rhythm of ritual music, he walked all the way to the dragon chair in front of Wuying Hall, and then The palace servants holding Tuanlong rope fans on both sides immediately blocked the rope fans in front of the dragon's face, and the serving eunuchs on the side quickly came over to tidy up Emperor Jiajing's clothes.
After this, the Tuanlongsuo fan was raised and stood behind the imperial chariot as part of the majesty of the ceremony.
At this time, the ceremony officer also sang again: "Xing!"
The officials in front of Wuying Palace and the two kings who were honoring the protagonist today stood up and looked up at Tianyan slightly.
This scene is just like the poem written by the poet Du Fu: "The clouds move and the pheasant tail opens the palace fan, and the sun circles the dragon and the lin to recognize the holy face"!
Zhu Zaijing originally wanted to take this opportunity to see clearly the appearance of Emperor Jiajing, but unfortunately, some bastard actually moved another screen over while they were kneeling on the ground, and directly Blocking in front of Emperor Jiajing, even if Zhu Zaijing and Zhu Zaizhen stood up, they could not see the sky like the officials on the side.
Faced with such a situation, Zhu Zaijing could only sigh secretly.
It seems that the prophecy of "two dragons will not meet" is really not that powerful.
This is all here, but no one can see it yet.
Since we can’t see each other, let’s carry out the crowning ceremony honestly and according to the etiquette process.
The crowning ceremony of a prince is fundamentally different from that of ordinary people. Of course, it is also fundamentally different from the crowning ceremony of an emperor or a crown prince.
But the scene was still very grand.
According to the crown ceremony etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, princes and princes should first wear an empty silk gauze robe, and then add a crown gown.
The whole process requires about three sets of changes of clothes: one plus a folded scarf, one plus a long-distance travel crown, and three plus a gong crown.
After such a set of procedures, the crowning ceremony is over.
At the same time, this also marks that Zhu Zaijing and Zhu Zaizhen are considered adults from today on.
Then the officials bowed to the adult Zhu Zaijing and Zhu Zaizhen to show their superiority and inferiority.
After completing these etiquettes, Emperor Jiajing was still as high and silent as when he first arrived, like a living god. The majestic Zhu Zaijing, Zhu Zaizhen and Bai Bai Under the official's bow and respect, he left Wuying Hall.
After all this trouble, Zhu Zaijing could finally relax and return to his palace. Not long after Zhu Zaijing returned home and changed out of the solemn but uncomfortable Gun Mian clothes, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng came to see him together.
Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but feel very surprised when he heard that the two big guys came to the door together.
Originally, Zhu Zaijing thought that the two of them were going to play the game of "the king can't see the king" for a long time. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, they couldn't hold it back and showed up together. .
Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong: "Go and greet the two gentlemen, take them to the vestibule and wait. I will come over later."
Zhu Zaijing's operations at this time were completely different from those in the past.
In the past, whenever Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng came to teach in Fuzhong, Zhu Zaijing would at least go to the front yard to greet him personally.
But this time Zhu Zaijing asked Meng Chong to pick him up, and then asked the two of them to wait for his arrival in the front yard.
It can be seen that Zhu Zaijing also deliberately reminded Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng who is the big and small king!
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were slightly startled when they saw Meng Chong coming to greet them, but they immediately understood the meaning.
In the past, when the two of them came alone, they were gentlemen and King Yu was his student, so King Yu would respect their status and go to the front yard to greet them in person.
But now, the two of them are not asking for an audience as gentlemen. So Zhu Zaijing, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, naturally has to act like a prince and let them wait in the vestibule for a while before he can get the favor of the owner of this room. Reception.
Faced with this situation, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng could not help but look at each other slightly. Neither of them knew what they were thinking, but they could not help but reveal it from their eyes. A look of anticipation that I had never experienced before.
Obviously, Zhu Zaijing's intentional actions did not make Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng feel uncomfortable.
After the two of them arrived at the vestibule of Prince Yu's Mansion, they did not sit on the nanmu chairs in the vestibule and wait for Zhu Zaijing to appear. Instead, they stood on the left and right in the vestibule and waited respectfully. With.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zaijing, who had already changed into home clothes, finally appeared belatedly.
The moment Zhu Zaijing appeared in the vestibule, his joyful laughter suddenly rang out. Zhu Zaijing bowed his hands to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng and said: "I am very happy that these two gentlemen are here! "
After hearing Zhu Zaijing's laughter, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng also turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhu Zaijing: "Your Majesty, Gao Gong (Zhang Juzheng) pays homage to the prince."
Zhu Zaijing walked to the main seat in the vestibule, looked at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and said enthusiastically: "Two gentlemen, please take a seat quickly."
Then Zhu Zaijing used a scolding tone again He said to the servant waiting in the vestibule: "It's been so long since you two gentlemen have been here, why hasn't anyone served you tea? Are there no rules in the palace?"
The servants bowed hurriedly and went to prepare tea.
At this time, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were also on the left and right, sitting on the nanmu chairs on both sides of the vestibule, and their eyes were also focused on Zhu Zaijing.
Gao Gong said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the crown ceremony."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong and said: "Thank you, Mr. Gao. After the crown ceremony, I should be getting married, so I don’t know which girl I will marry as the princess of the palace.”
Zhu Zaijing’s words immediately made the atmosphere in the vestibule cheerful, and both Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng had expressions on their faces. A smile that everyone understands.
Zhang Juzheng said at the right time: "The prince's concubine must be the concubine chosen by heaven, and she will definitely be a virtuous, virtuous, dignified and graceful lady."
