Chapter 10, The Arrangements of Yao Guangxiao

The next morning, outside the Hall of Benevolence and Wisdom

It is well known that only two individuals were capable of suppressing Zhu Yuanzhang

If it is bad luck, it just happens to coincide with the time of marriage.

Witnessing this scene, Zhu Di felt a sudden chill that suppressed the sorrow of his elder brother's passing

If it has already reached the wedding night

Ordinary people would assume that this is due to the Crown Prince

I apologize, the bride can leave directly

The first is Empress Ma, and the second is Crown Prince Zhu Biao

What should we do about this

Very simple, start over from scratch

Tang He was one of the few loyal ministers who had a good ending during the early Ming Dynasty. He grew up alongside Zhu Yuanzhang and can be considered a childhood friend.

Only Yao Guangxiao knows, and this is because of the throne

The eldest brother is like a father; even if one does not feel sorrow in their heart, they must act convincingly, even if it means howling in despair.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di hesitated and asked, "Father's Jinyiwei has exceptional investigative capabilities. Are you certain you can keep this hidden?"

Especially among the high-ranking officials and ministers, such as the six ministers, their grief was even more heart-wrenching than that of the princes and grandsons

Even after Zhu Yuanzhang gained the favor of Guo Zixing, Tang He not only felt no jealousy but also willingly followed him with unwavering loyalty

The most interesting thing is

The bride returns home www.hetushu.com. Calculate the time, after forty-nine days, proceed with the process again

However, Zhu Yuanzhang stood coldly beside the coffin, watching; anyone else would have been able to cry.

During the Ming Dynasty, this was no mere joke, but a reality that was truly the case

Zhu Di lowered his gaze and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's lower seat, where Zhu Yunwen did not kneel alongside the other imperial grandsons, but instead knelt separately beside them

At present, his face is completely shrouded in gloom, and even a blind person could discern that the mood of the Prince of Yan is exceedingly poor

Originally a joyous occasion, it can quickly turn into a somber event

It can be easily investigated

It is most appropriate for Yao Guangxiao to handle these matters

Your Highness, it seems that the matter concerning Zhu Ying has become urgent and cannot be delayed any longer

This is applicable to the entire Ming dynasty, therefore, after the crown prince's passing, it will still require some time to announce to the world.

After dismissing those around him, Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "It seems that Father Emperor has already made up his mind to establish that young Zhu Yunwen as the Crown Prince."

During the hundred days, marriage, sacrifices, and ceremonial music are prohibited

At this moment, within the Hall of Benevolence and Wisdom, a group of princes and grandsons were weeping heart-wrenchingly

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Di calmly said:

That would be akin to lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot

At this moment, no one dared to provoke.

The practice of mourning originates from the Zhou Li, and during the period of the crown prince's death, there are numerous complex and intricate regulations

There are certainly articles to be written on this matter. Once Your Majesty becomes aware of Zhu Ying, you will surely dispatch someone to investigate. I have already arranged for people to spread some statements.

Perhaps it is also because Zhu Biao himself was relatively close to the civil officials. After his untimely death, it is uncertain what the future holds.

Even Zhu Di, upon seeing the appearance of his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, could not help but shudder a couple of times.

Such situations are certainly to be encountered, as the Ming Dynasty is vast. Except for a few less favorable days, it can be said that there are basically weddings and marriages taking place every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang drank it all in one gulp, gazing at the setting sun, listening to the distant sounds of mourning and chanting. Unknowingly, tears of old age had already streamed down his face.

King Yan Zhu Di nodded slightly. When it comes to the Jinyiwei, Zhu Di naturally cannot send his own subordinates, as it would attract too much attention

Yet everyone can see Your Majesty's sorrow

The humble monk learned that when Zhu Ying was merely five years old, he had already accompanied his father on business trips, and by the time they returned, five years had already passed.

Numerous princes, grandsons of the emperor, and civil and military officials, all dressed in white garments, wearing mourning attire and caps, stood in a row in order

After all, Brother Zhu Biao is indeed a very good person, having sheltered them for many years

Once such matters become entangled, given Zhu Yuanzhang's character, it is highly likely that he would directly summon Zhu Di back to the capital, just as he did with the current King of Qin, Zhu Xuan

In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang became increasingly suspicious and paranoid, and his character grew ever more bloodthirsty

... ...

However, being able to sit before Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He himself was also cautious and careful, indifferent to fame and fortune, which allowed him to evade disaster

Given Your Majesty's suspicious nature, it is certain that all doubts will arise. It is impossible to completely fabricate the truth; however, it is precisely this blend of truth and falsehood that makes it most convincing to others

Standing quietly there, with a calm expression and deep gaze

Even the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang can be largely attributed to the significant contributions of Tang He

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao confidently remarked, "In my view, Zhu Ying's background is entirely worthy of development.

This elderly man in his sixties now appears somewhat frail and decrepit

Night, the residence of the Prince of Yan in the capital

It represents the choice in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart

However, at that time, Tang He, even though Zhu Yuanzhang had made significant contributions, still held Zhu Yuanzhang in very high regard

Concerning the dignity of the royal family, no detail can be tolerated to be slighted in the slightest degree

At this moment, Zhu Di's sorrow had long since dissipated. Having grown up in the military camps amidst war, he was accustomed to life and death, and naturally would not grieve excessively.

Certainly, only the princes and grandsons of the emperors are allowed to enter the Hall of Benevolence and Wisdom to mourn, while very few civil and military officials are qualified to do so.

It seems necessary to come up with a way to have Zhu Ying discovered by the Emperor.

Yao Guangxiao replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, such matters shall be arranged by this humble monk."

In a certain courtyard near the Fengtiandian, Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He sat facing each other. It was only in front of such old friends that he could freely express his innermost thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to join the Red Turban Army because of an invitation letter from Tang He. At the time Zhu Yuanzhang sought refuge with Tang He, he had nothing to his name, while Tang He was already a thousand-household commander in the Red Turban Army

If discovered, it would likely be a futile effort akin to drawing water with a bamboo basket

After the eunuch of the Imperial Ceremonial Office opened the palace gates, he entered slowly

Once someone reports, it constitutes a grave offense of disrespect

The Crown Prince Zhu Biao passed away on April 25, but due to the transmission of information, some places may not have received the news until early May

Tang never spoke, merely placing a hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's hand as a gesture of comfort

This scene has also been witnessed by many people, and it is clearly a very obvious message

Now that both individuals have departed, Zhu Yuanzhang, standing beside the coffin, reveals an unmistakable madness and anguish in his eyes

That is truly an outpouring of genuine emotion, interspersed with the oppressive gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang

For many of the imperial grandchildren or younger princes, it may simply be a matter of putting on a show

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's lament, Tang He, being quite astute, did not express his own opinion but instead let out a deep sigh, and then filled Zhu Yuanzhang's cup with wine.

If not, they would still be forcibly kept at home

Our eldest son has left, and the young lady is reluctant to follow him. Now our son has also departed. Tell me, why does heaven treat us this way? Have we not done enough?

For most princes, it is still quite sincere

That is also quite embarrassing, please escort the bride home, and we will go through the process again in a month at the scheduled time

In this way, this king finally has the opportunity to speak

The executions of some death row inmates, including beheadings, will be postponed

It is possible that some individuals, on April 26, had already completed their wedding ceremony and entered the bridal chamber before receiving the news, thus concluding the entire ritual
