"Oh, then I'd like to thank you brother Youxuan." Zhu Xuankun glanced at the excited Zhu Youxuan, wondering whether he was given by his father when he went out for dinner, or why he was not as good as his nephew?

"Let's go, let's eat some fruit!" Without seeing the expression on Zhu Xuankun's face, Zhu Song grabbed the little guy and walked out.

……

According to Zhu Di's will, the feast of a hundred kingdoms will last for seven days. During the seven days, people will walk and eat without stopping, and the banquet will be held with flowing water. Not only the kings and royal families of various countries, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and their All of his direct relatives must come to participate.

As for the place to hold the feast, it was naturally chosen in front of the square of Fengtian Hall.

On the south side of the square in front of the Fengtian Hall, a tent with a width of thirty feet and a length of one hundred feet was set up. The tent is used for sunshade, so naturally there is no need for those extravagant materials to build it, as long as it can shade the sun.

As for the lower part of the tent, there are two long tables in the circle of siege tents, and in the vacant space in the middle of the circle, there is a necessary space for the cook to barbecue, and the rest of the space is reserved for Musicians and dancers.

Since it is a feast, where can it be without the company of dance and music?

Of course, except for the first three days when Zhu Di would appear at the feast of the Hundred Nations, the remaining four days were mainly for the princes and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military ministers, and the kings of various countries.

Daming has so many political affairs that need to be dealt with throughout the day, it is considered good for Zhu Di to spare three days, how can you expect him to come for seven days?What about bullshit?

In the imperial palace, in the warm pavilion.

"How is the venue for the Feast of Hundred Nations?" Zhu Di rarely reviewed the memorial, but was wearing a loose robe, resting on the chair beside the chair.

Zheng He stood respectfully behind Zhu Di, and next to him were Zhu Song, Xie Jin and Xu Huizu.

"Long Live Lord, the venue is almost set up." Zheng He respectfully said, "All the imperial cooks from the imperial dining room have also rushed back. These days, they are working hard."

"Oh!" Zhu Di nodded and said, "How are the foreign kings doing?"

"It's honest." Zhu Song took over the conversation, "But Brother Sihuang, don't let my younger brother do the reception work. Dealing with those guys every day is tiresome!"

"Forget it, you." Zhu Di glanced sideways at Zhu Song, "I heard that those kings of the foreign kingdoms, all of them seemed crazy, rushed to your house to give gifts. Your boy recently received them. All kinds of gold, silver and jewels may have caught up with Yun Nan's tax revenue for half a year."

"No, no." Zhu Song chuckled, "Anyway, they sent it up by themselves, and it's not that the younger brother took care of what they wanted. Besides, the younger brother is not corrupt, right?"

"Corruption?" Zhu Di said angrily, "I asked you to be the reception minister because I asked you to receive gifts. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to keep you busy?"

"It's because they are sensible, otherwise, my younger brother would have given up on it long ago." Zhu Song was honest, "Oh, yes, what my younger brother told you a few days ago..."

"Oh, you're talking about Chang Ning, right?" Zhu Di took a sip from the teacup next to him in a short time, and said, "I've said that, the opportunity is given to him, but there seems to be no fate between the two! I can't look down on him, with Chang Ning's temperament, even if I offer a marriage for the two of them, I'm afraid Chang Ning would rather die than obey."

This princess Changning, whom Zhu Song went to meet on purpose a few days ago, is indeed beautiful and charming, but she has a bit of a stubborn temper, as long as it is something she believes, eight cows will not be able to pull her back.

Perhaps, their old Zhu's family members are all of this temperament, so it's not necessarily true!

"That's true!" Zhu Song nodded, and said, "That Sparrow still knows some rules, and he never used any bad methods, otherwise, brother Sihuang, you might have already dealt with this guy. ?”

"Does he dare?" Zhu Di stared, and said, "It's just a barbarian from a foreign country, if it can please Chang Ning, it's fine, and dare to have a wrong idea? I destroyed his Java country!"

Heartbroken, old iron!

It's not that the king doesn't help you, it's that the emperor is too strong, but the old mountain ginseng you gave with hundreds of years, the king will accept it with a smile!

Zhu Song doesn't care if you can make it or not, anyway, he has ginseng in his pocket, and if he wants to go out, it must be more difficult than climbing a mountain.

……

Seven days later, everything was ready, and the entire imperial palace, and even the entire city of Nanjing, were decorated as if they were attending from a foreign country, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, in a beaming posture.

At this moment, all civil and military officials of high grade in Nanjing City, as well as the kings and royal families of various countries who came to Daming to participate in the feast of a hundred countries, all gathered in front of the Meridian Gate. A small number of military guards sent a total of more than [-] soldiers to maintain order in front of the Meridian Gate.

These soldiers have all been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. Coupled with their responsibilities at the moment, each of them naturally behaves fiercely and coldly. The people who were watching were all arrested.

"Long live God is here!"

Just when a group of civil and military officials and the kings of various countries were looking forward to it, another group of about 500 Jinyiwei appeared, and their guardian Zhu Di's dragon chariot appeared inside the Meridian Gate and in front of the Fengtian Gate. .

The Meridian Gate is located in front of the Fengtian Gate, which is the south gate of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. The middle gate is only for the empress Luanjia, and the left and right side gates are only allowed to enter and exit by officials of the third rank of civil servants and fourth ranks of military officials. Enter through the two gates and exit through the two gates.

When Long Nian arrived directly under the Meridian Gate, the street three hundred feet away was already crowded with people. If it weren't for the soldiers of various guards working hard to maintain order here, the people of Nanjing City would have already gathered together. Before arriving at the Meridian Gate, it was completely blocked.

That posture made Zhu Song, who stood at the head of a group of royal families, have a sense of sight when he climbed the Great Wall and visited the Summer Palace during the National Day holiday in his previous life. At a glance, it was full of people!

"The humble minister (grassman) kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

With Zhu Song at the head, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Song's dragon chariot.

Although the kowtow ceremony is only required on special occasions or during grand ceremonies, but since there are so many Fanbang kings singing, it is natural to give Long Live Lord enough face!

Following Zhu Song's leadership, the royal children kowtowed, followed by ministers of civil and military affairs, kings and royal families of various countries, and countless people followed suit and kowtowed to Zhu Dixing in unison.

"Be flat!"

Seeing Zhu Song doing so well, Zhu Di can be said to be very happy from the bottom of his heart!

Nonsense, being respected and saluted by tens of thousands of people, who would be upset about such a thing?

"Long live my emperor!"

Zhu Di's voice is not loud, but now tens of thousands of people worship, all the people dare not even breathe out, where is the noise?

Therefore, everyone in front of the Meridian Gate heard Zhu Di's words and got up together.

"The auspicious time has come, I respectfully invite Lord Long Live to enter the tower!" At this time, Zheng He looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhu Di stepped on the horse stool and got off the dragon chariot, and then led Empress Xu and a group of concubines, princes and princesses to the wall of the Meridian Gate.

Chapter 534 Toast

"Long live, long live my emperor!"

Those people who were standing in the distance and didn't see Zhu Di and the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the kings of Fanbang, after Zhu Di took the lead to climb the high wall, the whole city of Nanjing suddenly burst into cheers like a tsunami. Voice.

The current Daming has long been slightly out of touch with the historical Ming. This is the hurricane caused by Zhu Song, a big butterfly, over the years.

Therefore, Zhu Song has put forward many effective suggestions for various ministries over the years.

For example, the household department, in order to manage the people of Ming Dynasty well, every two years, the household department will conduct a census involving the entire Ming Dynasty.

And a few days ago, I just did a household registration statistics.

According to investigations, there are more than 130 fixed households in the current city of Nanjing, with a permanent population of one million. If you add in the traveling merchants, foreign envoys, and wandering Taoist priests and monks, it should be conservatively estimated that it should reach Around [-] million!

Of course, this is far from being comparable to the central city of China in Zhu Song's previous life, but this is an extremely astonishing number in the current era.

But today, these civil and military officials, Fanbang royal family, guards, and the common people who gathered on the street in front of the Meridian Gate can see that the street with a margin of more than 20 feet is full of people, shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively. It is conservatively estimated that there are 5 About ten thousand people.

"There are so many people here!" Zhu Song stood on the high wall of the Meridian Gate, and at a glance, there were all dark figures, and even those row upon row of buildings made people have no time to take care of them.
