Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

The coronation ceremony is a complicated process.

Compared to the procedure of sitting on the dragon throne in Fengtian Hall, the Zhongshan Heaven Offering Ceremony was actually more important. It was the time to formally establish the status and accept the imperial authority under the witness of all the people in the world.

Under the arrangement of Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai.

Zhu Yunhuan sat in the imperial dragon chariot, surrounded by countless Jinyiwei holding golden axes and white banners.

Behind the dragon chariot procession, royal family members, dukes, earls, civil and military ministers each lined up in neat rows and followed slowly.

The weather is clear and clear.

The wind blew the flags and banners into the air, making them flutter and rustle. Amid the sound of bells and drums, the scene seemed even more solemn and dignified.

Under the watchful eyes of the people along the way.

The ceremonial procession went all the way from the Qianqing Palace to the main gate of the imperial palace, passed the main road of Yingtian Prefecture, went out of the city gate, and headed for Zhongshan.

Vast and majestic!

……

Side hall of the East Palace.

When Zhu Yunwen and the mother and son Lu heard the sound of bells and drums resounding throughout Yingtian Prefecture, they did not get angry but laughed and exchanged ecstatic glances.

"Mom, it's started!"

Zhu Yunwen said excitedly.

As a member of the royal family, he was no stranger to the procedures of some grand ceremonies in the royal family. Although he was locked in the room, he could imagine the scene outside just by listening to the sound of bells and drums - the focus of everyone's attention and the majestic ceremonial procession.

But he knows.

Zhu Yunhuan’s pride won’t last long!

When he arrives at Zhongshan, everyone in the world will know that he is a man who plotted to murder his brother and usurp the throne, and his uncles who are away from home will not let him off easily!

"Yeah, it's started..."

Mrs. Lu's face also turned red with excitement.

According to the information she received, someone would soon come to the East Palace to kidnap the mother and son and send them to Zhongshan as evidence. At the Zhongshan altar, the upright civil servants in the court would also take the opportunity to expose everything in front of the people of the world!

From yesterday until now, until she heard the sound of bells and drums of the coronation ceremony outside, her heart was finally at ease - she had not received any news that was unfavorable to the plan, and now... it was done!

She put her arm around Zhu Yunwen's shoulders, pricked up her ears to listen to the sound of bells and drums outside, her eyes narrowed slightly, but with a hint of madness at the corner of her mouth, she cursed in a low voice: "Zhu Yunwen! You have harmed my mother and me to this point, and you will never have an easy life!"

Her eyes were filled with resentment, anger, madness... and many other emotions.

Originally, her son should have been the one wearing a royal crown, sitting in a dragon chariot, the center of everyone's attention, and the one with great power and splendor!

And she will also be the rightful empress dowager, with great honors.

But all this.

They were all ruined by Zhu Yunhuan.

……

Zhongshan is not far from Yingtian Prefecture.

August day.

Neither cold nor dry.

As the sun rose, it hung obliquely above the azure sky, and the sunlight poured down, as if coating the nine-tiered altar of Zhongshan, as well as every banner and every blade of grass around it, with a layer of light gold.

Zhu Yunhuan slowly got on the dragon chariot.

Slowly looking up over the nine-story altar to the top, my heart unconsciously began to beat faster and faster.

Even though he had vision and insight that even Zhu Yuanzhang did not have.

But such a scene, such solemnity and majesty, is indeed something that ordinary people will never be able to experience no matter how many lifetimes they live.

As Zhu Yunhuan got off the dragon chariot.

Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai stepped forward and knelt, his voice booming as he said, "Your Majesty, please ascend the altar, burn incense to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors, and warn all the people of the world!"

Zhu Yunhuan took a deep breath.

Calm yourself down for a moment, step onto the stairs, and walk up to the nine-story altar step by step, floor by floor.

The twelve white pearl tasseled crown in front of him swayed lightly.

Many images emerged in his mind.

The bewilderment of arriving at this era; the ten years of forbearance and treading on thin ice; that night of painstaking planning in the Palace of Heavenly Purity; the relentless wheel of history; the dazzling lights and high-rise buildings of the 21st century...
