Zhu Houzhao was already dressed in a grand dress and looked solemn and slowly climbed onto the imperial chasing under the crowd of the eunuchs.

After bathing in the fasting, Zhu Houzhao was wearing gorgeous clothes, and he was not angry and powerful. He climbed onto the imperial throne. With a loud shout, a team of elite large imperial guards surrounded the imperial throne and slowly headed out of the Forbidden City.

On the square outside the palace gate, the civil and military officials who rushed over early were also looking a little solemn.

Everyone knows that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is an extremely important matter. In the past, the emperor would like to say that the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven would be pushed forward if possible, and if he could not participate if he could not participate, so this time everyone attached great importance to it, which can be said to be taken seriously.

No one wants to be evil in this matter, otherwise, who would know if the emperor would wear them with his shoes?

Just as a group of civil and military officials were waiting for the arrival of the emperor in the square outside the palace gate, many officials were talking in private.

There are still secrets that a person knows, not to mention so many people. Yesterday, Zhu Houzhao summoned Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Han Kun, Zhang Lun and others to discuss the matter. The emperor did not ask for the content of the matter to be kept confidential. Therefore, overnight, almost all officials who care about sacrifice to heaven knew the list drafted by Zhu Houzhao through their respective channels.

Although some officials did not have prominent positions in the court, they were extremely high on that list. Although some officials were in the court, they did not even have their names on the list.

There are more than one official who is excluded from the list like this, but there are also many. Obviously, these officials have some problems, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would not have turned a blind eye to it.

Why do those officials who are obviously in high positions but cannot even keep their names on the list do this? Others don’t know, but these people know it very well.

As the saying goes, if you don’t know what you do unless you do, these officials understand the most in their hearts what they have done and why they are rejected by the emperor.

It can be seen that any of the expressions that cannot be named on the list seem dazed, and it can be seen that everyone is absent-minded.

Many officials who are very close to them on weekdays also subconsciously distance themselves from them at this time, as if they were afraid that the bad luck in the other party would be transmitted to them.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and the officials looked up at the entrance of the palace.

At first glance, I saw a group of people slowly walking out at the entrance of the palace gate. The leader was the Da Nei Imperial Guard with shiny armor. Surrounded by the Da Nei Imperial Guard, an imperial chaser slowly drove out.

The civil and military officials, led by the chief assistant Yang Yiqing, all the officials bowed down to the imperial chasing where Zhu Houzhao was riding, and shouted long live the mountain.

Zhu Houzhao walked out of the imperial chase, high above. Within his eyes, all the people around him, except for the soldiers, all bowed to the ground.

Zhu Houzhao could only hear a long voice: "All the ministers are eligible for etiquette."

The civil and military officials stood up, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already made preparations. According to the process prepared in advance, all civil and military officials followed the emperor's imperial chasing and headed for the large altar outside the city.

On the long street, the people were crowded with people. If there weren’t soldiers to maintain order, the entire long street would have been blocked by the people long ago.

Among the crowd, everyone stretched their heads and looked into the distance.

Among the people, Zhu Houzhao's reputation was extremely good. The people's name Zhu Houzhao was called the Holy Emperor.

It has to be said that the prosperous Ming Dynasty far surpassed the prosperous times in all dynasties. At least under Zhu Houzhao's governance, the Ming Dynasty almost eliminated the situation where the people were frozen to death and starved to death.

Of course, I dare not talk about anything absolutely. It is inevitable to talk about whether there are still people among the people who freeze to death or starve to death, but relatively speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is eliminated compared to the past.

Even if there is a natural disaster, the court will dispatch disaster relief materials as soon as possible to help the victims, and even the court will allocate various materials to help the people restore their homes.

In the past, this kind of thing was simply not to think about, but now it has become a common practice.

It can be imagined that under such circumstances, no matter how dull the people are, they can truly feel the changes in their lives.

Among the people, some scholars who were suppressed by Chu Yi and the emperor were constantly slandered and slandered Chu Yi and the emperor's reputation. However, these people are now shocked to find that their remarks have lost the market among the people.

It can even be said that if they had any words to slander the emperor, once the people knew about it, they would definitely tie it up and sent it to the government for accusation of slandering the Holy Emperor.

Gradually, the sound of the mountain shouting long live from afar came, and the sound came like waves.

"Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty..."

The sound of the mountain crying came. If someone looked down from the air, he would find that as the emperor's frame came slowly, the people on both sides of the road fell down towards the emperor's frame like waves, shouting the sound of long live.

Countless people bowed to the emperor's car frame. From the shocking sounds, you can hear the sound of the mountain calling for long live from the hearts of the people, rather than being gathered to make a look.

Although Zhu Houzhao was able to learn about some civil affairs through intelligence agencies such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang, he also knew what kind of reputation he had in the civil society.

However, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously believed that the situation reported by the Dongchang and Jinyiwei was a bit exaggerated, as if it was complimenting him, so Zhu Houzhao did not take it seriously.

However, this time Zhu Houzhao left the palace and took the imperial guards openly, he truly felt the support and respect of the people from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the people are asking for very little. They just hope to avoid being severe cold and hunger. Whoever can do this will regard it as heaven..."

Suddenly, a passage that Chu Yi had said to him appeared in my mind. At that time, Zhu Houzhao didn't quite understand what Chu Yi said, because in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, according to what Chu Yi said, the requirements of the people in the world were too low, and it was too easy to do it.

But now it seems that Zhu Houzhao realized that the requirements of the people of the world are indeed very easy and very simple, but for some reason, few wise kings have done this in all dynasties?

Zhu Houzhao felt extremely moved in his heart as he looked down at the people who bowed to him with great devout devotion on both sides of the road.

“Slow down!”

Zhu Houzhao spoke slowly.

The speed of the frame slowed down, and Zhu Houzhao walked out of the imperial chassis and stood above the imperial chassis. The people in front of him who had not yet bowed down noticed the imperial chassis at a glance, dressed in a grand manner and exuded endless majesty.

With just one look, many people quickly lowered their heads, were grateful and bowed down devoutly. While shouting at the mountain, they shouted in their hearts: "I saw Your Majesty's true face, I saw Your Majesty's true face..."

"You are equal, please give me a gift..."

Zhu Houzhao said loudly to the people on both sides.

Zhu Houzhao has not vain in his diligence in practicing Taoist health care methods over the years. It can be said that he is strong and has a strong body and full of energy. As soon as he opens his mouth, the sound spreads over a hundred feet in a radius.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's voice, many people couldn't help but shouted excitedly, and became more and more pious to Zhu Houzhao.

As they passed by, Zhu Houzhao stood on the chariot, and the entire capital was filled with the sound of shouting long live. Such a momentum even the civil and military officials who followed the chariot were stunned. They really didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao had such a high prestige among the people.

The altar, which was hundreds of feet high, was far away, and was surrounded by blackness. At this moment, around the altar, he arrived here first. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, the lords of various vassal states who were waiting for the emperor to command the emperor, could only hear a tsunami-like sound of mountain crying.

Many people were confused and subconsciously looked over, and saw the emperor slowly coming by surrounded by civil and military officials.

Just when many people were lost in their minds, an official from the Ministry of Rites immediately sang a tribute: "Your Majesty is here, welcome the emperor!"

"We pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

The lords of various vassals bowed to Zhu Houzhao with great respect. No matter what they thought, they had no other choice when facing Zhu Houzhao, who had already reached the peak of prestige and momentum, besides worshipping him.

After Zhu Houzhao came over, he saw hundreds of lords of vassal states and envoys sent by many overseas countries bowing to him.

After everyone bowed, Zhu Houzhao waved her hand and said solemnly: "Stand up and don't give me a gift!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites came forward and bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come. Please wait for the altar to worship the heavens!"

Zhu Houzhao was wearing a big fur and a robe. The robe was embroidered by the most skillful embroiderer in Jiangnan, embroidered the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, dragons and other patterns. She wore a twelve tassels hanging from her head, and a big gui was inserted between her waist. She held Zhengui in her hand and walked towards the high altar step by step.

The altar is as high as a hundred feet high, with steps one by one. It is not easy to climb from the bottom to the top of the altar just by climbing from the bottom.

If this scholar is powerless, he will probably not be able to hold on before he has climbed halfway through.

Zhu Houzhao was full of energy, step by step and steadily crossed the steps one by one, and slowly climbed to the altar.

The top of the altar is a hundred feet high, and there are fences carved from white jade around it. It is about a plane of several meters in size. It is said to be big or small.

The emperor climbed to the top of the altar step by step, and the civil and military officials who came with the emperor also climbed to the altar.

On one step below the top of the altar are Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and other cabinet masters, and they are arranged in sequence according to their respective official positions.

The space on the altar is large enough, and all civil and military officials, including a group of kings, and the envoys of various countries stand on the altar, are not crowded.

“Huhu…”

There are thousands of steps alone in the altar, and many officials have been climbing upwards and are almost exhausted on the way upwards. However, for those generals, this height is just like this, each of them is calm and as stable as Mount Tai.
