Chapter 8: Peril before the Spirit
Early the next morning, Chen Yunfu followed Yao Guangxiao to the Jiyan Hall to take over. When he arrived, Zhu Biao had already arrived, and a four or five-year-old child was kneeling next to him.
Wearing sackcloth and mourning, he was extremely restless as he knelt beside Zhu Biao.
He kept moaning, "Daddy, my legs are numb."
Zhu Biao's son, wouldn't he be the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen in later generations?
I don't know why, but when seeing Zhu Yunwen, Chen Yunfu felt an inexplicable feeling of intimacy.
Ahem, my original body cannot be the mistake Zhu Yuanzhang made back then.
Stopping his wild thoughts, Chen Yunfu knocked the wooden fish conscientiously, ignoring the ministers and princes who came to the banquet hall to express their condolences.
This is only the second day of the wake, and it has been a long time.
It's just that he hasn't seen the legendary Zhu Laosi yet, which makes Chen Yunfu think a little.
I really want to quickly see the grace of Emperor Yongle.
Three days passed very quickly, and all the officials had gone to mourning and returned to government affairs. Chen Yunfu didn't even wait, and he felt a little disappointed.
However, time was not wasted. At least these three days allowed Chen Yunfu to notice some differences between historical facts and later TV series.
For example, in Jinling City at the moment, there are no three stooges that everyone is familiar with.
Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru have not yet become officials, so naturally they are not qualified to come to these banquet halls to keep watch for Empress Ma.
At this moment, the only ones who can come are Li Shanchang and Tang He who made great contributions to the founding of the country.
After waiting for a few more days, the seven days of vigil were all up, and Chen Yunfu could not wait for Zhu Laosi. Frustrated, he just thought that he could not wait. He never thought that on the last day, he would receive an imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang.
.
The content of the imperial edict is to change the period of spiritual suspension from seven days to fifteen days.
After the expiration of fifteen days, change the day and the moon, and then the spirit will be raised and the funeral will be carried out.
Now it's better, I have to kneel for another eight days.
Chen Yunfu didn't care. He was obedient and his arms could not reach his thighs. Besides, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, he was just a hair on his arm. What else could he do except obey.
If Yao Guangxiao, a fifty-year-old man, doesn't kneel down every day, what should he be afraid of?
Unexpectedly, at noon on the eighth day that had just been added, a heartbreaking cry sounded outside the hall.
"Mother, my son is late!"
"Woooooooooo! Mother! Queen! It hurts so much!"
The visitor was in his twenties, very young, with a tall and powerful figure. Chen Yunfu estimated that he was about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back. However, his face was a bit unhealthy and thin, and his hair was unkempt and he looked a little bit slimmer.
Embarrassed and haggard.
This is?
Chen Yunfu's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard this man howling uncontrollably.
"Mother, last year I sent my regards to you. You were still in good health. Why did you pass away in just one year? Wuwuwuwu! You also said that you wanted to raise two sea greens. My son will soon
We won a great victory in Mobei, and ordered the Jurchen tribe to capture it for you, but you are no longer here, my queen, my queen!"
Mobei.
Jurchen.
Zhu Di!
At this time, if Chen Yunfu could not figure out the identity of this person, he would be really blind.
Is this the Yongle Emperor who was revered as a saint khan by the grassland people in later generations and whose power was revoked?
He doesn't look like a stranger.
He was just like an ordinary young man, at most he had a bit of the spirit of a military commander, and Chen Yunfu had seen a lot of people with this kind of power in the past seven days.
No matter how powerful Zhu Di is in his twenties, he cannot be more powerful than Tang He.
Therefore, in this first meeting, Chen Yunfu did not feel the so-called domineering power of an emperor.
Inadvertently, he glanced at Yao Guangxiao and found that the latter was still banging the wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures with his usual expression. His rhythm was not disturbed at all from beginning to end. This discovery made Chen Yunfu even more confused.
That is Yao Guangxiao at this moment. Does he know Zhu Di or not?
I don’t know which piece of unofficial history recorded it. The so-called story that Yao Guangxiao rushed to give Zhu Di a white hat as soon as he saw him. Maybe it’s also a fabrication?
Hey, this is fun.
Yao Guangxiao could not be a time traveler, and it was absolutely impossible for him to divinely conclude that Zhu Di could become an emperor just based on his appearance.
If we only look at his appearance at this time, then Zhu Di can't catch up with Zhu Biao in terms of flattery.
"Fourth brother, stop crying. The more you cry, the more painful it will be in Gu's heart."
At this time, Zhu Biao, who had been crying until he had no tears, spoke. If he spoke, Zhu Di would still listen.
"Brother, my heart hurts so much that I want to open my chest with a knife."
Gee, what Zhu Laosi said is really offensive.
Chen Yunfu cursed, and was planning to chat with Yao Guangxiao first to see what his first feelings were towards Zhu Di, but he didn't expect that a voice came from the palace first.
"Prince Yan came very quickly."
"Not to mention, King Yan was far away in Mobei fighting, and he was the first among the kings from the nine sides to come here. His filial piety can really be learned from the sun and the moon."
The person who said these words is called Wang Fan, and his official position is the Minister of Dali Temple.
After keeping vigil for eight days, just by listening, Chen Yunfu also figured out the official positions of these ministers.
At this moment, Zhu Dishang was immersed in grief. He didn't notice anything strange when he heard this. He just kept crying and said: "The love between the orphan and his mother is as deep as the sea. Thinking about the kindness of his mother in raising him, he is even more heartbroken. Now that his mother has passed away.
, I am so lonely and anxious, my queen mother!"
After saying this, he burst into tears again.
Wang Fan did not say a word, but Li Shangwen, the supervisory censor on the side, stood up.
"The funeral documents from the imperial court were just sent out by the General Affairs Department seven days ago on an eight-hundred-mile rush. King Yan received them in Mobei, thousands of miles away. It was really fast."
The look of grief on Zhu Di's face instantly disappeared. He swallowed several times but was speechless. Wang Fan took another stab at him.
"Yes, yes, among all the kings, King Yan's benevolence and filial piety are truly the best among them."
What he said to this point was extremely heart-wrenching, and Zhu Di was at a loss as to how to deal with it.
He probably didn't even think about it himself. He came to Jinling in a hurry to pay his respects. He originally planned to show off, but in the end, he was under suspicion.
On the first day of the Queen's death, the court had not prepared the funeral documents. Even Zhu Biao had no time to attend the vigil and spent a whole day in the Fengtian Palace with all the court officials.
Then who sent the letter?
Moreover, the entire Jinling was blocked, how did the letter get out?
This cannot be scrutinized. If you scrutinize it, it will easily scare people to death.
"Gu, Gu is so confused now that I can't understand what the two officials are saying."
Zhu Di grabbed the ground with his head, simply buried his head and pretended to be an ostrich and ignored him.
But Wang Fan and Li Shangwen still had a strange and unyielding attitude.
"enough!"
Zhu Biao suddenly shouted, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty frowned, and his evil spirit suddenly appeared.
"Queen Mother is here, why are you talking nonsense here? Get out of here!"
Wang and Li were speechless. Seeing Zhu Biao furious, they did not dare to disobey him. They handed over their hands in despair and turned around to leave.
"Thank you, brother."
Zhu Di raised his head in gratitude with tears on his face.
"well."
