Chapter 1578 Taizu Appears

After leaving Yanzhou, Shen Long continued to go south. While inspecting the local situation, he cleaned up the local officials and taught them to treat the people well and prepare for disasters.

Then finally arrived at Jinling City, where the Nanjing Six Divisions had already made preparations to worship Ming Taizu. After resting for a few days, Shen Long came to Xiaoling to worship on the auspicious day selected by Qin Tianjian.

Xiaoling Mausoleum is located at the foot of Mount Everest in Dulongfu, at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain. It inherits the old system of "the mausoleum is based on the mountain" of the Tang and Song emperors' mausoleums, and creates a new system of square tombs as round mounds. It has a large scale and magnificent architecture. , pavilions and pavilions are connected, enjoy the smog in the hall, pines and forests, and thousands of long-lived deer; during the sound of deer, the momentum is extraordinary, and the harmony between humanities and nature is achieved, reaching the perfect height of the unity of man and nature, which is amazing.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoling Mausoleum has always been the root of the ancestors, and it is highly respected. There are three fixed sacrifices and five minor sacrifices every year. Whenever there are important events in the country, ministers and ministers must be sent to pray; but since Zhu Di moved the capital, it seems that this is still the case. It was the first time that the emperor came to pay homage to Xiaoling in person, so the grand ceremony was extraordinarily grand.

At the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, the four guards of Tengxiang, the Jingying, and the mausoleum guards guarding the Xiaoling Mausoleum wore bright armor and tightly protected the imperial tomb. Li Zhi took a good position and followed Shen Long into the imperial mausoleum.

The ceremonial and music officials of Taichang Temple in Beijing and Taichang Temple in Jinling played solemn and solemn music. Shen Long held the jade seal of passing the country to the Ming Dynasty Xiaoling Mausoleum. , Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang. He was a Jurong family, petitioned for the people, and made a fortune in Dingyuan; set his capital in Jinling, and his reign was Hongwu; abolished the old system, selected talents only;

When he came to the stele, Shen Long bowed down solemnly. Shen Long sincerely admired the Emperor Taizu who drove away the Mongolian and Yuan Tartars and restored the Han people, so he bowed down very sincerely.

After prostrating, Shen Long held the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in both hands and came to the stele, and recited the sacrificial oration written for him by the Hanlin scholars, which probably means that the emperor Taizu is here, and my Ming dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years. Your descendants always remember your teachings, and never forget to wipe out the Tartars and protect the Chinese people.

I have done a good job recently. I just defeated the Jiannu who invaded my Ming Dynasty and killed tens of thousands of Tartars. Although I can't compare with your ancestors' achievements, I barely lost your face. By the way, I was lucky this time, When I was outside the Great Wall, I found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that had disappeared for more than 500 years.

This is a very good thing. We know that this is also your father's long-cherished wish, so today I will bring you the Chuanguo Yuxi to show you, so that you will be happy in the sky; I will continue to work hard to make you happy. Daming has become more powerful, whether it is Jiannu or other Tartars, or the red-haired barbarians from the west, I will clean them up.

In addition, I dare not forget your teachings back then. I will definitely treat the people well and let the common people of Daming live a good life. Anyone who dares to obstruct me from doing this is my enemy of Daming. I will have a firm confrontation with them. Struggle; please remember these words, continue to supervise me in the future, if I do not do well, you will remind me, and at the same time, continue to bless our Daming, so that I can fulfill these wishes, so that our Daming can continue forever .

After reading the sacrificial oration of Pian Si Li Liu, Shen Long burned the manuscript so that the sacrificial text could reach the sky and reach Zhu Yuanzhang's ears; In front of the Ming Dynasty Xiaoling Mausoleum's Stele of Divine Merit and Virtue, the sound of ceremony and music sounded again, as if to remind Zhu Yuanzhang to take a look.

The weather is fine today, the sky is blue, only the white clouds are floating in the sky,

Just now when Shen Long was reciting the sacrificial oration, the white clouds blocked the sun, and when he finished reciting and presented the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Zhu Yuanzhang, the sun just reappeared, and a golden sun was impartial, shining on the Chuanguo jade seal. On the national jade seal, the Chuan Guo Yuxi and the sacred merit tablet are dyed with a touch of golden light.

This miraculous scene stunned everyone at the scene. They thought it was God's response to Shen Long. Zhu Yuanzhang in the sky heard Shen Long's sacrificial oration and saw the Chuanguo Yuxi, and was very satisfied with it, so Respond to Shen Long in this way.

"Emperor Taizu has manifested, long live my Ming Dynasty!" the clever official shouted immediately, and all the people present knelt down and paid homage.

It seems that His Majesty has not only been recognized by the heavens, but also by Emperor Taizu! Now those civil and military officials in Jinling also believed in the miracle that happened when Shen Long found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and now this is the real Son of Man!

"Long live my Ming Dynasty!" Tens of thousands of people, from all civil and military officials in the county town, servants and dignitaries to the four guards of Tengxiang, the Beijing camp and the soldiers of the mausoleum guards, shouted long live together. , has been spread to Jinling City, causing endless speculation among the people in the city, what happened again?

Shen Long made a look of surprise, prayed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma again, and then continued to offer incense and sacrifice according to the ritual system. After another half an hour of busy work, he finally entered the next link.

This time, Shen Long didn't just come to worship by himself. He also ordered all the clans of the Ming Dynasty to prepare sacrifices for Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, these clans couldn't come to Jinling in person, so now their envoys are arranged neatly according to their relatives and ranks. The ground team came to the sacred merit monument one by one, and offered the sacrifices of their masters.

But just as they were delivering the sacrifices, the weather changed suddenly, dark clouds covered the sun, and at the same time there was a gust of wind, all the civil and military officials at the scene suddenly became uneasy, what happened? Could it be that His Majesty Taizu was dissatisfied with these sacrifices? Otherwise, why was it all good before, but suddenly became like this at this time?

The clan envoys who presented the sacrificial offerings were sweating one after another. They placed the sacrificial offerings on the altar tremblingly, and then stepped aside to wait. After a while, the sacrificial offerings on the altar piled up into a hill. There are too many clans.

After all the clan's gifts were presented, Da Zong from the clan's mansion was slowly walking forward, preparing to recite the sacrificial rites on behalf of these clans. He had just started to read the sacrificial rites.

But I heard a flash of white light in the sky suddenly, there was a sound of thunder, and at the same time, the wind was loud, and a gust of wind swept past, directly sweeping away most of the sacrifices on the altar!

Shen Long's expression suddenly changed, "What's going on!"
