Chapter 725: Conferring the title of Prince in front of the Hongwu Gate(2/2)
…
Xicheng project, in front of the food city.
When the team of Imperial Guards officers and soldiers arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi and others, they reined in their horses and dismounted.
A small flag officer quickly stepped forward and arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi.
The flag officer clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a decree. Please listen to it in front of Hongwu Gate."
Will?
Listen to the announcement in front of Hongwu Gate?
The message from the flag officer surprised Zhu Yunxi and others.
After the flag officer finished speaking, he silently retreated to the horse, seemingly waiting for Zhu Yunxi to escort him to the Hongwu Gate.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and thought anxiously.
His Majesty's will.
Now, it is naturally the uncle’s will.
And recently, there seems to be no major events in the DPRK and China.
In the future, the imperial court will send troops to the Western Regions.
However, I heard that the Governor-General had already started building a new Great Wall on the other side of Lake Baikal some time ago. Liang Guogong Lan Yu asked him to take some of his troops to the west to station at Suzhou Guard.
In the middle of the court, at the Governor's Office, the cabinet minister and Prince of Qiyang County, Li Jinglong, was also handing over errands and preparing to go to Suzhou Guard to train troops and reorganize the army camp.
Lan Yu is a talented general who can charge into battle, while Li Jinglong is quite accomplished in marching and setting up camps.
The two complement each other and are almost certain to be the two important generals for the imperial court to deploy troops in the Western Regions.
"Does uncle want you to lead the Western Expedition Army?"
Zhu Gaochi quickly reacted and expressed his guess.
After all, it stands to reason that if it were in the past, if the imperial court wanted to conquer the west, it would most likely use Qin King Zhu Ping.
But the second uncle is currently in Beijing on errands.
The fourteenth uncle, King Su, Zhu Kai, is still young and has not experienced many wars. He is not yet qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army.
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Zhu Shangbing said happily from the side: "Can we go out to lead troops to fight again? I heard that the Western Regions is so vast that there is no human habitation even if you travel thousands of miles away. Brother Xi, if you go to the Western Regions this time, remember to go there.
Take me with you."
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "I'm afraid the matter of recruiting troops to the Western Regions and selecting generals will not be decided so early. It cannot be due to other matters."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and thought it might be something else: "Let's go and take a look first. My uncle chose to announce the decree in front of Hongwu Gate. I'm afraid that when I get down to the East City, officials from various ministries and yamen will come out to watch the fun."
…
Few and.
Chongli Street in front of Hongwu Gate was exactly what Zhu Gaochi said. By the time they arrived from the Xicheng project site, many officials from surrounding ministries had already surrounded them.
And a eunuch, leading the servants of the inner court, stood in front of Hongwu Gate for a long time.
This eunuch originally served Zhu Biao, but now that the prince ascended the throne and became Emperor Yongsheng of the Ming Dynasty, this eunuch naturally took over Sun Gouer's errands and power in the inner court.
Now, he is in charge of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court.
I saw Zhu Yunxi coming from the west of Chongli Street, accompanied by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing.
Zuo Jing immediately stepped forward and bowed with a smile: "This servant has met Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince of Yan."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Zuo Daban actually went out of the palace to deliver the decree in person. I wonder what decree my father has given to his son today?"

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi, his eyes full of meaning: "Your Highness, just kneel down and listen to your will."
Zuo Jing actually gave it a try.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the other person, and then looked at the eunuch closest to Zuo Jing, who was holding a wooden box in both hands, which probably contained the imperial edict.
As expected, Zuo Jing took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the wooden box.
Zhu Yunxi immediately waved his robe and knelt in front of Hongwu Gate, ready to hear what his father had going on today.
However.
At this time, Zuo Jing looked around again and said loudly: "Everyone knelt down to listen to the decree."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
The Ming Dynasty did not have many regulations, requiring officials to kneel down at all times.
Even when he went to court, he just bowed and bowed.
Kneeling is often only used during court ceremonies.
Let alone receiving an order.
At most, the person who wants to receive the order will kneel down to receive the order.
but.
As Zuo Jing spoke, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, all the officials present who heard the news, could only wave their robes and kneel down respectfully.
Only then did Zuo Jing cough lightly.
"Feng Tiancheng Yun Emperor, the edict said:
Since I was in charge of the country in the past years and came to the throne following the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, I have always been responsible for the military and state affairs, and have been responsible for the employment and administration of people.
The entrustment is of the utmost importance, and the ceremony will be held in honor of Yuan Liang.
Zhu Yunxi, the eldest son of the emperor, is the first heir of the clan and belongs to the will of God. I hereby strictly abide by the initial edict, carry out the ceremony, obey the public opinion, and sincerely inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. I will confer a book treasure and establish him as the crown prince. He will be enthroned in the East Palace.
A thousand-year-old tradition, with the heart of spreading all over the world.
I think that everything can happen in one day and cannot be left unattended for a long time. I hereby order the crown prince to ascend to the Wenhua Palace with the seal to handle the affairs of the common people, support the army and supervise the country. All matters reported by the hundred ministers will be decided by the crown prince.
Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it."
