After the officials of the Ministry of Rites left the temple, they immediately arranged for officials to be sent to the temple with special sacrifices, to make a gift, and to communicate that the deacons practiced the rituals before the headquarters.

The Jinyiwei Honglu Temple, who had been waiting outside the Chunhe Gate of the Eastern Palace, came in one after another with utensils. Inside, a crown seat is set in the southeast of the hall, facing west. Set up a table of sweet wine in the west, facing south.

The servant sang loudly: "The holy decree!"

Bin Zan and the incumbent officials knelt and kowtowed.

Hundreds of officials paid four obeisances, and the ceremony was completed to fulfill the decree. The emperor entered the Fengtian Hall and took his seat, the civil and military attendant Ban Ju took the seat in the hall, the Binzan deacon went to the lower position on the east stage, and the East Palace officials and Dr. Taichang went to the East Palace in front of the hall.

With the accompaniment of "The Song of the Emperor's Family", the crown prince dressed in a collar and narrow sleeves, with golden coiled dragons on the front, back, and shoulders, and surrounded by officials from the East Palace, went out from the Chunhe Gate to the Sheji Altar to worship.

After watching the prince, he praised the goodness, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites invited him to sacrifice at the Taimiao Temple. Along the way, he played "The Song of Flame Essence and Good Luck".

The crown prince paid homage to the ancestral temple and offered three sacrifices of rice seeds.

Ritual and music play "The Song of the Legend of the Way of Heaven" "The horse bears the picture and the story of the way of heaven, the tortoise contains the book and the humanities are publicized, the hexagrams are drawn and the Yu Chou narrates, the emperor's construction is combined with nature..."

After the prince paid homage to the Ancestral Temple of Sheji, he walked towards the Fengtian Temple and stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. The internal praise officer led the kings to come, and all the kings knelt down. To be honored and crowned is beyond compare, and I would like to lead all my younger brothers to congratulate His Highness."

"Your Highness congratulates you!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "Good."

The internal praise officer sang together: "Low down and prosper, flatten your body!"

Wai Zan salute and sing: "Bow, worship".

Le Zuo, the kings bowed again and bowed four times, and the music stopped after Ping's death, and the prince returned one bow, and the ceremony was completed.

All the kings followed the crown prince to the Fengtian Hall to pay homage to the sage, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites guided the crown prince to pray before the incense table.

At the beginning of the crowning ceremony, the prince and grand master presented the winged crown and wished: "On the auspicious day of Lingyue, I will start to add yuan clothes, abandon your young characters, and follow your success."

All civil and military officials were the guests, and they congratulated in unison: "Mao Jing is the inheritance, and Jingfu will be introduced forever!"

The grand master knelt into the crown, the prince inherited it, the officials of the Ministry of Rites changed his clothes, the crown prince entered the tent, changed his robes, took out his robes, sat down again, and then crowned again.

The crown prince Taifu Feng Pibian congratulated him, saying: "Applying for the crown ceremony, in order to achieve order and virtue, to be respectful and dignified, is only the way of the people."

All civil and military officials wished: "I want to drink Kong Xin, and recommend Zai Fang!"

The Tai Tuo knelt down into the Pibian, the Crown Prince inherited it, entered the tent, Yipibian put on the lapel and came out, sat down again, and performed the three crowning ceremony.

The crown prince Taibao presented the crown, and wished: "The chapter is salty, and the order is respectful and devout, and the emperor's image will be eternal, for thousands of years."

The eyes of the princes were full of jealousy. What is this and the coronation ceremony? It's almost the same as the enthronement ceremony. The father really wished he could step on everyone to support his elder brother.

They actually let Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun come as the three guests, and all the civil and military officials as the accompanying guests...

Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister of Zhongshu, came out of Fengtian Hall and called the prince to enter.

The three guests were surrounded by Ci Wenwu, and the crown prince entered the hall and knelt down. The emperor stood up and announced the edict: "Be filial to the monarch and relatives, be friends with brothers, love the virtuous and love the people, live with benevolence and righteousness, never neglect or be arrogant, and prosper forever."

The queen said: "Kedun filial friends, Fulu Lai Pian, respect and dignified, protect the people, respect the sky and love the people, and keep the country forever."

"The minister is not sensitive, dare not only accept it" and perform five prostrations and three kowtows.

Zhu Huan at the end of the hall asked in a low voice, puzzled: "It's all done, why haven't you given the word yet?"

Seeing that the etiquette and music were on the rise, and no one paid attention to them, Zhu Yan responded in a low voice: "Characters are for peers to communicate with each other. What's the use of giving characters to elder brother? How dare you call them?"

After reaching the crown, there should be words, but at this time, including the Ministry of Rites, when they were discussing, they naturally ignored this step.

………

After the coronation ceremony, Zhu Biao's life has not changed at all. If there is anything to say, it is forced to accept some Zhao Xun and Feng Yi again, and it can only be the rain and dew of the best efforts.

The second child and the third child left Beijing and went to the feudal clan. Many Wu Xun who had been stationed in the local area for several years were also transferred to northern Xinjiang or returned to the Beijing camp. Most of what Zhu Biao received recently was theirs. daughter.

After the crowning ceremony, the father and son's grievances because of the Sun family disappeared, and they returned to their previous state, buried together in Jinshen Hall all day long to deal with the government affairs.

"Biao'er, the Luchuan envoy will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, go and meet him."

Zhu Biao said: "It doesn't matter much to see or not to see. Lu Chuan sent Wang Zhen back. This time, he wants to hand over the seal letter from the Yuan Dynasty to Daming, and bring gold and silver elephant riding as tribute. I hope the court can canonize him. Lord, it's just a plan to slow down the troops."
