My father is Jiajing

"Your Majesty, I, Zhu Zaizhen, congratulate you on your new home!"

The moment Emperor Jiajing just came out of Yuxi Palace, Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen immediately led the officials of the six ministries and other departments of the cabinet to congratulate Emperor Jiajing behind the screen.

Emperor Jiajing, wearing a scented leaf crown, also glanced with a smile at the screen where Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen were. He looked at the shadows of Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen reflected on the screen and felt very happy.

"Flat body."

Emperor Jiajing walked to his sedan chair, stood on the steps of Yuxi Palace, and said to Zhu Zaigui, Zhu Zaizhen, Xu Jie and others with full energy, "Stand up."

Moreover, from the tone and expression of his voice when he said these two words, everyone could feel the Emperor Jiajing's inner joy.

It seems that he is really happy to be able to move into a big palace, and he doesn't mean to make things difficult for others.

Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, was standing prominently beside Emperor Jiajing at this moment. He finally felt the feeling of being "second only to one man and above everyone else".

You have to know that in the past, the only person who could stand beside Emperor Jiajing like this was Huang Jin.

Now Huang Jin went to build the mausoleum, and he became the top eunuch in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Naturally, he replaced the former Huang Jin and became the shadow who could "borrow the power of the tiger" to get close to the emperor and enjoy the worship of princes and officials.

Chen Hong followed the rehearsal requirements given by the Taoist priest, and after Emperor Jiajing said "stand up", he excitedly took a step forward.

"The Immortal Chariot has moved to the palace. Long live the Emperor!"

Chen Hong shouted this sentence at the top of his voice with great excitement.

A group of Taoist priests in charge of the ceremony also waved their magic swords to the rhythm and began to protect the Emperor Jiajing as he moved to the palace.

It seemed as if Emperor Jiajing was really like a divine fetus in a temple. If he was not treated with such grand etiquette, it would seem an injustice to God.

At the same time, the ceremonial warriors waiting nearby also held up the emperor's ceremonial utensils that they had been holding tightly in their hands, and lined up in the front in a mighty manner.

A group of court musicians nearby also began to play solemn music to welcome the gods, and the whole scene was extremely grand!

Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen, as well as Xu Jie and others, also stood up and bowed three times during this grand ceremony, meticulously congratulating Emperor Jiajing with practical actions.

Surrounded by everyone and under the expectant gazes of the masses, Emperor Jiajing turned around and boarded the imperial sedan chair.

This imperial sedan chair is also extremely gorgeous and solemn, with four corners supported by four dragon-shaped pillars. In addition to intricate auspicious cloud and dragon patterns on the top, there is also a golden imitation flying eaves and bracket cover.

Emperor Jiajing sat in the center of the imperial carriage. He looked dignified and had an immortal demeanor. He was extremely majestic.

Then Chen Hong shouted excitedly "Let's go".

The 108 strong men in charge of carrying the imperial sedan also worked together to lift up the sedan that looked like a small palace.

In addition, six long ropes connected by red satin, like reins, extended from the front of the imperial sedan chair.

At the end of this long rope, there are ceremonial warriors of the Jinyiwei dressed in flying fish costumes holding up six lifelike carved dragon horses with auspicious clouds as the lead.

At first glance, it seems that the imperial sedan chair that Emperor Jiajing is riding in is not an ordinary vehicle driven by strong men, but a fairy sedan chair pulled by six dragons, soaring above auspicious clouds.

The imperial sedan moved slowly, and under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Jiajing finally headed towards the Wanshou Palace that he had been longing for for many years.

Although the straight-line distance of this road is less than 300 meters, with such a grand ceremony and ceremonial guard, the Yuxi Palace and the new palace Wanshou Palace where Emperor Jiajing was going to move to seemed to be separated by a world!

After circling around for who knows how long, the sedan chair carrying Emperor Jiajing finally arrived at the gate of the newly built Wanshou Palace at the auspicious time three quarters after midnight.

At this moment, the gatehouse in front of the Wanshou Palace was also covered with a piece of red satin cloth embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, as if a young girl who had never been seen before was hidden behind the red satin cloth.

Chen Hong watched the Emperor Jiajing arrive at the palace gate in his sedan chair. He immediately walked to the Emperor's side and said with a festive look, "Emperor, please unveil the new palace."

Emperor Jiajing, sitting on the imperial sedan chair, was even more excited as he looked at the new palace which was only a step away.

But at this time, Emperor Jiajing suppressed his excitement and did not stand up to personally take the red satin cloth draped on the plaque of the new palace gate.

He said, "Go and invite Prince Yu over, and have him come and unveil the plaque of the new palace for me."

Chen Hong was slightly stunned when he heard this, because according to the previously prepared etiquette process, the piece of red satin cloth covered with auspicious clouds embroidered on it should have been torn down by Emperor Jiajing himself.

Now that they had arrived at the gate of the new palace, Emperor Jiajing suddenly decided to ask Zhu Zaigui to unveil the plaque of the new palace. This really surprised Chen Hong.

However, Chen Hong soon put his thoughts behind him, because he knew very well that if he wanted to remain in favor, he had to be a good servant who listened to Emperor Jiajing.

Therefore, Chen Hong naturally would not have any doubts at this time, nor would he make any actions or sounds that would affect the mood of Emperor Jiajing.

Chen Hong bowed to Emperor Jiajing and said, "I obey your order."

Then Chen Hong lifted up the corner of his clothes and walked quickly to Zhu Zaigui, who had accompanied Emperor Jiajing all the way to the new palace to congratulate him on his new home.

After meeting Zhu Zaigui, Chen Hong's face showed just the right amount of flattery and excitement.

"Your servant Chen Hong pays respect to His Majesty!"

Chen Hongxian bowed respectfully to Zhu Zaigui.

Zhu Zaigui looked at Chen Hong who suddenly appeared in front of him at this time, and a friendly smile appeared on his face, "Get up."

Zhu Zaigui did not have the same respect for Chen Hong as he did for Huang Jin. After all, tracing back to the past, Chen Hong was once a eunuch in his mansion.

Therefore, when dealing with Chen Hong's affairs, Zhu Zaigui naturally had to maintain the dignity and attitude of a master. Otherwise, how could Zhu Zaigui maintain his dignity and status in front of so many people?

What's more, because of the previous master-servant relationship, even if Zhu Zaigui was polite to Chen Hong, Chen Hong would not dare to accept it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Hong stood up respectfully in front of Zhu Zaigui, and then he said to Zhu Zaigui: "Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to come over. He wants you to unveil the plaque for the new palace."

As soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, not only Zhu Zaigui was stunned, but even Zhu Zaizhen, who was standing not far from Zhu Zaigui, and Xu Jie and other ministers were also stunned.

You should know that one of the most taboos in the Ming Dynasty is that "two dragons cannot meet each other".

If Zhu Zaigui went before Emperor Jiajing at this time to unveil the plaque of the new palace, wouldn't that break this taboo?

Therefore, at this moment, not only Zhu Zaigui was a little bit unbelievable, but everyone behind him also felt incredible.

Zhu Zaigui calmed down and looked at Chen Hong seriously again, "Is this really the order of His Majesty?" Chen Hong said quickly, "How dare I falsely convey the order of the Emperor? Besides, the Emperor is still waiting in front."

Zhu Zaigui hummed, then glanced at Zhu Zaizhen beside him, and then swept his eyes over Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and others who were also looking at him.

"Lead the way."

At such a critical moment, even if Zhu Zaigui had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he could not think the matter through before responding to the order.

After all, Emperor Jiajing's sedan chair had already stopped in front of the gate of the new palace, and the auspicious time was right at this moment.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhu Zaigui could not miss the auspicious time of Emperor Jiajing.

Chen Hong bowed again, "Yes."

Then he led Zhu Zaigui forward.

Just as Zhu Zaigui was heading towards the imperial sedan chair of Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and others, who had been standing there naturally, could not help but look at each other.

And if it weren’t for what happened with Li Ran before, they would probably have been unable to help but whisper to each other at this moment.

When Zhu Zaigui arrived in front of the Jiajing Emperor's sedan chair, he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I, Zhu Zaigui, pay my respects to you!"

Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaigui who bowed deeply to him. He was very excited at this moment. This was also the time when he was closest to Zhu Zaigui.

You must know that since the two brothers Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen were canonized together with Prince Zhuangjing, he has never seen his son Zhu Zaigui again.

Now, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The child who once looked less than three feet tall has now grown up and become a middle-aged man in his thirties.

So how could Emperor Jiajing not feel sad about the passing of time when seeing such changes?

Emperor Jiajing suppressed his excitement and said in the calmest voice possible: "Stand up!"

Zhu Zaigui, who was still bowing his head, couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing these words.

Because he knew that as long as he stood up, there was almost a 100% chance that he would meet Emperor Jiajing face to face.

Although Zhu Zaigui had imagined the scene of his first formal meeting with Emperor Jiajing countless times in his mind.

However, in these scenes, Emperor Jiajing only appeared when he was about to die.

Now the Emperor Jiajing was just moving house, but he actually wanted to meet me for the first time in a formal manner.

Even Zhu Zaigui, who had seen many ups and downs and lived two lives, couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhu Zaigui bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, Zhu Zaigui slowly stood up under the gaze of Emperor Jiajing and stood upright in front of Emperor Jiajing's sedan chair.

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's eyes were also focused on Zhu Zaigui. He suppressed his excitement and tried to calm his excited voice, but still said with a trembling voice: "Very good, very much like me."

Zhu Zaigui also looked at the face of Emperor Jiajing. This was the first time he saw the appearance of Emperor Jiajing in nearly twenty years since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

He also looked at Emperor Jiajing seriously, and his mind kept flashing with the image of Emperor Jiajing in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and the portrait of Emperor Jiajing that he vaguely saw in the encyclopedia.

It seemed that at this moment, the memory images in his mind were undergoing a reorganization similar to a computer program, making all the impressions and imaginations about Emperor Jiajing in his mind become reality at this moment.

"Go and pull down this piece of silk."

After suppressing his excitement, Emperor Jiajing gave instructions to Zhu Zaigui.

After hearing the voice of Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Zaigui immediately bowed again: "I obey your order!"

Then Zhu Zaigui turned around and walked to the gate of the new palace. At this time, Li Fang had respectfully handed him the red silk cord that could be used to pull down the plaque on the palace gate.

Zhu Zaigui held the long rope that could be used to pull back the red silk covering the plaque above the new palace, and the emotion and excitement in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Li Fang saw that Zhu Zaiqi was ready, so he bowed beside Zhu Zaiqi and whispered, "Your Highness, it's time to pull it."

Zhu Zaigui grunted, then suddenly pulled hard, and the piece of red satin cloth with auspicious clouds covering the plaque of the new palace was torn off by Zhu Zaigui like a large floating red auspicious cloud.

The three characters "Wanshou Palace" written vertically on the plaque also revealed their true appearance at this moment!
At this moment, as the plaque with the words "Wanshou Palace" appeared, all the Taoist priests, ministers, eunuchs, guards, and warriors who came to celebrate the Emperor Jiajing's move to his new home bowed in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Then, amid the congratulations of all officials, Emperor Jiajing also stepped down from the imperial sedan chair and headed towards the gate of Wanshou Palace.

Zhu Zaigui naturally stepped aside and respectfully welcomed the arrival of Emperor Jiajing.

When Emperor Jiajing walked to the palace gate, he looked at Zhu Zaigui again and said, "Come in with me."

Zhu Zaigui bowed again and said, "I obey your order."

Then Emperor Jiajing walked in front, and Zhu Zaigui followed closely behind.

At the same time, when the two of them stepped into the Wanshou Palace, Xu Jie and others also moved.

They also had to follow behind to the Wanshou Palace and wait for Emperor Jiajing to sit on the dragon throne in the main hall before going to pay their respects and congratulate him.

With every step that Emperor Jiajing took, a lantern on both sides of the palace trail would light up, just like the lighting effects controlled by computer programs in later generations, appearing extremely stylish.

However, Zhu Zaigui also understood that such an effect was nothing more than the result of training a group of people and was not worthy of any surprise or admiration.

In this way, Emperor Jiajing walked to the main hall of Wanshou Palace step by step.

Just as he arrived at the main hall, the lights in the Wanshou Palace were suddenly lit up at an extremely fast speed.

For a moment, the bright lights illuminated the entire Wanshou Palace, illuminating the entire palace for Emperor Jiajing.

And at this moment, the doors of the main hall of Wanshou Palace were all opened, and suddenly a magnificent, luxurious and solemn hall appeared in front of everyone.

Compared with the original Wanshou Palace and the Yuxi Palace where Emperor Jiajing lived before, this palace is countless levels more magnificent. One glance at it is enough to make you feel the majesty and grandeur of this palace!
This is also the imperial residence that Emperor Jiajing wanted!
