Forty-nine-three spring, rain and dew are as wide as the sea (4)

Zhu Cixuan repeated the request for the prisoner, and informed Chongzhen of the reasons for his objection, and then looked at his father quietly and waited for the Holy Tribunal.

Chongzhen did not expect that the offer of prisoners was related to the administration of officials and the people's hearts, but he was still reluctant to stop. He said, "It all makes sense, but I see, your reason is not enough."

"Please give me advice."

"You only see that you have vented your morale, but you have never thought about reassuring the people?" Chongzhen said: "After the chaos, you can only settle the people's hearts and minds, and naturally all crafts and industries are happy. Is this the truth?"

"If the administration is corrupt, how can the people be at peace? My son thinks this is putting the cart before the horse." Zhu Cixuan said.

Chongzhen stopped talking with a tiger face.

"But if you perform the prisoner ceremony, you will be able to have the face of the saint emperor." Zhu Cixuan suddenly whispered.

Chongzhen's hands panicked, his face turned red, and he said, "I don't mind this."

Zhou Hou seemed to be choked and coughed gently.

"The father doesn't care, but the sons need to care." Zhu Cixuan said.

Chongzhen was happy, but said, "It's really okay."

"Well, since my father is so persistent, that's all." Zhu Cilang said.

Chongzhen choked.

"It's really a bit troublesome. The restructuring of the six central ministries has not yet been concluded. The money and grain exchanges and the offices of the office are mixed together. It's a headache to think about it." Zhu Cilang pretended to have a helpless and tired look.

"Why hasn't changed yet?" Chongzhen said seriously: "Although it is necessary to be cautious and persistent in governing a big country, you must be cautious and persistent. But you must also be decisive when doing things! If this kind of temple is added, it can be a redundant yamen. If it is useless, it will be cut off again. What do you think? Chun Ge'er is right to have no fury as a young man, but he cannot be so old that he is almost dull."

"My son is obeying the teachings of the father." Zhu Cilang obtained a pass to the reform of the Ministry of Temples, rather than "discussing again" last time, "look at it". He also forgot about his thoughts.

Like the gambling table, the political arena is both fatherless and sonless, and now the conditions can be set.

"Father, my son still wants to ask for an errand." Zhu Cixuan said.

"You are the surrogate of the country. Now that the government has reported to you more and more, what else do you need?" Chongzhen was stunned.

"Family affairs." Zhu Cilang smiled: "This national crisis has allowed me to see through some relatives' faces. Even if my ancestors have the right to be close, my son will not care about it."

Zhou Hou stopped his hand and didn't know who Zhu Cilang was referring to.

In this national crisis, whether it is royal relatives, or vassal kings, there are many embarrassing people... The King of Qin even committed himself to robbers, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and these matters will eventually be concluded.

"Do you have someone to choose?" Chongzhen was the emperor for seventeen years. What was there to understand? Jinya bit her and decided to do this business.

"Although the Tang commoner Youjian was guilty, he was the only one among the vassal kings who dared to personally lead the guards and drive the king to drive. This loyalty is rare. My son wanted to regain his title, thinking it was the order of the clan." Seeing that Chongzhen did not react too excitedly, Zhu Cixuan continued: "Other kings in the vassal kings can also order him to enter the capital to serve as the position of the left and right clan masters and the left and right clan masters."

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cilang and wanted to know what his son had plans.

"Although the family affairs of my Zhu family is a family matter, it is also a major event related to the survival of the country. It is because most of the land was acquired by the vassals, so that the people have no place to set up a cone. Now that the country has newly established, these "relatives" still need to be invited to Beijing to discuss with you and see how to balance your life."

Chongzhen said: "The ancestors set up vassals to guard the capital, not only because of their relatives, but also because their family members are more reliable. If anything else, your two brothers will also help you stabilize the place in the future. No one knows sons is better than fathers. I know that you don't believe in these relatives, but you can't go too far after all."

"Don't worry, my father, I have a lot of protection for my relatives, otherwise I would not have allowed Jin, De and Heng to invest in the gold mine." Zhu Cixuan said.

Chongzhen thought about it, but he suspected that investing in gold mines was actually a pitfall. It was just that there was no basis for him to question his son's character for no reason.

"The Tang clan has suffered imprisonment in Fengyang for so many years and was once humiliated by a eunuch. Now that the country has been pacified, it is not necessary to let him out." Chongzhen said slowly: "But the clan order is still too high, so I can give Zuo Zongzheng."

In the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao established the Dazong Yuanyuan, and in the 22nd year, he changed the Zongren Mansion. The five kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, Zhou and Chu served as the Zongren, Linghe, Zuo Zongzheng, and Zuo Zongren. Although they were all first-rank official positions, this sort was taken according to the age of the year, which can be regarded as the ranking of the Zongren Mansion.

Later, most of the officials in the Zongren Mansion were held by Wang Gongxun and Qi, and later the practice was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Mansion only had a sign hanging. This time, the Zongren Mansion was reorganized, and the Zongren Mansion still had to be managed by the royal family. In fact, it was to preserve and manage the genealogy of the royal family, be responsible for naming, inheriting titles, and having funerals.

Zhu Cilang was satisfied with the position of Zuo Zongzheng. By the way, he recommended that the King of Dongyuan, Zhu Changjie, who had always served as King Ding and King Yong, be the Lord of You Zongzheng, King Jin, Zhu Shenxuan, and Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu, be the Lord of Zuo Zongzheng.

Chongzhen agreed one by one.

In this way, the transaction was concluded, and Zhu Cilang no longer stopped the issue of offering prisoners to the Meridian Gate.

Not only did Zhu Cilang not stop him, he became very active. Every day, he summoned officials from Honglu Temple to inquire about the progress and reported to Emperor Chongzhen in person.

"Because my father wanted to take the imperial guards to the Meridian Gate and personally captured the prisoner, he also referred more to the temple system in terms of etiquette." Zhu Cixuan held the etiquette book and explained to Chongzhen each link. Although there were not many rituals in the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Wanli who was captured at the Meridian Gate recently, so using his etiquette system would not make any jokes.

"It's just that my son changed two places," Zhu Cilang said. "According to the Hongwu system, prisoners are covered with red clothes and red hats. However, the color of red is the color of our country. Even ordinary people cannot wear it. How can prisoners wear it? What people thought before was inconsistent with the current situation, so my son thought it was bald and marooned."

Chongzhen nodded: "Sure."

"Secondly, in September of the fifth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu was read by Li Jiwei of Annan, Li Cang and others, and Fang Bin, the Minister of War, read Lu Bu, Emperor Chengzu asked: 'Is this the way of a minister?'" Zhu Cixuan said: "So this time the son minister was changed to the read Lu Bu by the Censorate, and then the father was asked to be punished."

Chongzhen felt that the Crown Prince's words were a bit difficult to speak, and after careful reading, he found the problem. The key was not the timing of the question, but the Xuanlubu yamen.

"During the time of Taizu, Lu Bu was read by the Grand Governor's Office, and after Chengzu, they all read by the Ministry of War. Why was this time read by the Censorate?" Chongzhen asked.

"The Taizu was the time when the country was founded and the tripod was established. Chengzu destroyed Annan to achieve the purpose of expanding territory, so the Grand Governor's Office was read out by the Ministry of War." Zhu Cixuan said: "This pacification of the Eastern Captains was only a turbulent disaster in our dynasty, which was a domestic crime. The Censorate should be reported and prosecuted by the Emperor and the Emperor's Holy Sect."

Chongzhen felt that his son's stubbornness towards the rule of law was almost equivalent to the stubbornness of the ritual ministers in respect of the ritual system. What a sign of immaturity? However, considering that his son is only seventeen years old and there is still time to temper him, there is no need to argue about it. Moreover, in front of the people and the barbarians, it sounds very good.

"Father, how should these Tartars be judged in the end?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Slay the dead?"

Zhu Cilang nodded.

Except for the emperor who always said "the offer of prisoners from the Meridian Gate", in the notices of various yamen in the capital, the words "public trial of the sage" were written in large ink. Not only the names were different, but their meanings were also thousands of miles apart. However, few people paid attention to the difference between these two words, and only felt that the former emphasized the identity of the prisoner, while the latter emphasized the nature of this ritual.

The Honglu Temple was first left the Ministry of Rites to handle such a large-scale ritual, and it seemed very exciting. During the rush to work, the entire process of offering prisoners - public trial was formulated based on the Wanli offering prisoners' ceremony and the offering prisoners' ceremony in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

On the third day of the seventh month of the 19th year of Chongzhen, Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou completed the handover, from east of Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, all of which were the defense zone of the Second Guard Division. He led the First Guard Division back to Beijing and stationed outside the city.

The fifth day of the lunar month is the prisoner offering ceremony.

...

"The Ming Dynasty was a glorious country. Although there were bandits and the Eastern Captains, they could finally be pacified." A man with a strange accent and wearing Ming Dynasty costume raised his wine glass and smiled: "For the Ming Dynasty to quell the chaos as soon as possible, please drink all of you."

The people sitting with him raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one go.

These people wore white clothes and black skirts, with their waists almost pulled to their chests. The net scarfs worn on their heads were also different from the Ming Dynasty. They were the Dongyi Korean clothing. Because North Korea and the Donglu formed a country of monarchs and subjects, it was equivalent to being a vassal state of the Donglu, these Korean merchants were able to live in Beijing and experienced the repetitions of the Mingshun Qingming Festival.

"Jinpeng Picture. What do you think when I returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" The man in Ming Dynasty dress called him the name of a person at the banquet, but the man was also calm.

"I only realized that the customs of the country were indeed a country of etiquette when I arrived in the Ming Dynasty." Jin Pengtu said stutteringly in Chinese, just trying to pronounce it: "Whether it was a docking labourer or a farmer in the field came from Tianjin, they were all wearing clothes to work. The atmosphere of the heaven is really enviable."

"Even the servant, I dressed very well and didn't show my body." A young man beside Jin Pengtu whispered: "It's true that it's the country of the Heavenly Kingdom!"

Jin Pengtu smiled at the man, and saw that the people on the table didn't recognize him, and said, "This is Lin Yiguan, who is from a middle-aged man."

The others were all Bai Ding. When they met the middle-aged man, they all restrained their faces, changed into respect, and performed manners like manners. Even the boss who had been wearing bright clothes before was moved, which shows how strict the division of the Korean class was.

"I am not a real translator yet, I am just ordered to help the angel translate documents." Lin Zaizhong laughed and said modestly.

"It is the same as a true official who can bear the mission of the Lord." The host said: "I am grateful and polite."

"It's polite and courteous." Lin Zaizhong looked around and said, "As we came over, we heard from Ming people that the capital was destroyed very much. Now it seems that this is not the case."

"I don't know that the capital once had a population of millions and was full of cars and horses. From the outbreak of the epidemic the year before, and even later in the rebellion and the Tartars robbed, the capital is now less than half as it used to be."

Lin Zaizhong was secretly shocked: "Even so, it's so big. I really don't know what a grand occasion the public trial of tomorrow's prisoner trial will be."

Jin Pengtu was familiar with him, and he was slightly relaxed and said, "I heard that the offering of prisoners was common in the Ming Dynasty. The Holy Emperor only wore regular clothes to the Meridian Gate, and even the ceremonial guards were similar to Pingchao."

Lin Zaizhong was a little disappointed and said, "It's rare to come to the Ming Dynasty once. I really hope to see the most grand ritual system of the Ming Dynasty!" (To be continued...)
