The 25th year of Hongwu, October 1st, very auspicious.

Before daybreak, more than a dozen officials, holding all kinds of clothing, were standing respectfully outside the door of the Kunning Palace, waiting.

Led by the eunuch Guo Zhong, a group of more than ten people sat quietly, like sculptures, without making any sound.

After a long time, there was a slight noise in the room. Guo Zhong, who had sharp ears, heard it, walked up gently, opened the door, and then slowly entered the bedroom.

At this time, Zhu Ying had woken up in bed.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time is approaching. Please wash and change your clothes." Guo Zhong said in a low voice, fearing to disturb the prince in front of him.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Guo Zhong slightly turned his body and waved behind him.

The eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time in the rear immediately filed in.

Eunuchs replaced the incense burners and lit the latest incense.

An official brought a golden basin to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rinse his mouth and wash his face.

An eunuch took a wooden comb and carefully combed the prince's hair.

There are more than ten people in the group, each doing their own job. It seems busy, but in fact it is well organized and they are very skilled in every process.

Light smoke rises from the incense burner, refreshing the heart.

This is cliff incense produced in Yazhou. The price of incense is one hundred gold coins, and one piece is ten thousand coins. It is the first of the four incenses and a tribute to the court.

Because of its rarity, it was not often used even by the royal family and was only used during grand ceremonies such as sacrifices.

And only the emperor and the crown prince are qualified to use it.

As the aroma rose and Zhu Ying washed, the eunuchs holding the crown and robes stood quietly beside the incense burner so that the crown and robes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could be permeated by the aroma.

The beauty of clothing is called Hua, and the grandeur of etiquette is called Xia.

Since the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang rectified and restored the Han clothing system in the Central Plains.

During the Ming Dynasty, Han clothing was dignified and graceful, with a grand and beautiful demeanor. The complexity of the shapes, the splendor of the patterns, the variety of materials, and the sophistication of the tailoring surpassed those of all previous dynasties.

It is the pinnacle of clothing throughout the ages.

What Zhu Ying was about to wear was the crown and robe used in the highest level of etiquette.

This is the most gorgeous and precious dress.

It is said that God created people for Himself to govern and thus saints and wise men succeeded Him, establishing the highest order and overseeing billions of people.

On top of the crown, there is a crown, which is called a crown.

Gong is the heavenly official who governs the people, and the crown is the symbol of this divine right of kings.

After Zhu Ying finished washing, the eunuch Guo Zhong, who was in charge of writing, carefully put on the crown for Zhu Ying.

The styles of the crown were also displayed in front of Zhu Ying.

It is on top of a cylindrical hat roll, covered with a wooden crown board.

The crown is round in front and square in the back, symbolizing the roundness of the sky and the squareness of the earth.

The crown is painted dark blue on the top and yellow red on the bottom, symbolizing the dark sky and the yellow earth.

Jade beads are strung together with colorful silk ropes and hung on the front and back of the crown, symbolizing the passage of time.

Ball ornaments made of silk cotton were hung by the ears to remind the king not to listen to slander.

When the crown is worn on the head, it should be low in the front and high in the back, symbolizing care for the people.

Zhu Ying stood with his hands flat, and the eunuchs helped him change his clothes.

The crown and robes consist of an upper garment and a lower garment. The upper garment is dark blue, symbolizing the sky, and the lower garment is yellow and red, symbolizing the earth.

There are six different patterns on the upper and lower garments, collectively known as the Twelve Chapter Patterns.

The exquisite robe makes you look more majestic.

When Zhu Ying finished dressing and walked out of the room, the darkness broke and the morning light gradually brightened. Just then, a ray of light descended from the sky and enveloped Zhu Ying.

The various gems on the crown reflect the morning light.

At this moment, Zhu Ying seemed to be surrounded by a halo all over his body, like a god descending from heaven, shocking his mind.

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, including Guo Zhong, were all panicked. They fell to the ground with their heads touching the ground, not daring to stand up.

…

Daming Imperial Palace, Jinshen Hall.

Perhaps this is the first time that there has been such a lively scene.

Among them, there were eighteen princes, more than twenty grandchildren, and more than ten princesses.

The more than fifty princes, princesses and grandchildren were all of Zhu Ying’s uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters.

Standing in the front row were the princes Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di, Zhu Su, Zhu Zhen and others.

The following are arranged in order of seniority.

In fact, there was no such process in the original system of enthroning the crown prince. It was added in temporarily by Zhu Yuanzhang.

This was also because Zhu Ying had been living outside for ten years and had no memory of life in the palace, and was not familiar with his relatives, so Zhu Yuanzhang specially arranged a family recognition session for him.

Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the eldest grandson is the most important, but the other princes and grandchildren are also his own flesh and blood. What Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see more is,

In the big family of the imperial palace, Zhu Ying, as the future head of the family, lived in love and harmony with his family members, and together they governed the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di stood in the front row, his face calm as usual, with no other emotions visible.

Zhu Gang, who was standing next to him, kept provoking him with his eyes, which made Zhu Di a little annoyed.

The two were sworn enemies. No matter what the occasion, whenever there was an opportunity, Zhu Gang would definitely be the one who took the initiative to provoke.

Zhu Di felt that he was about to hold back and punch his third brother, but he suppressed his anger and slowly calmed down.

It’s not that he didn’t dare, but Zhu Di knew that if he took action, his second brother would definitely help him.

It was one against two, and two fists were no match for four hands. He was not sure he could win.

The second and third brothers are not easy to deal with. If they get beaten up, they will lose face in front of the younger generations.

Besides, on a day like today, if a fight breaks out, I will definitely be chased and beaten severely by my father.

Behind the princes and princesses, the leaders among the emperor's grandsons were naturally Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunhuan, and Zhu Mingyue.

As the direct descendants of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the status of the three was even higher than that of some princes and princesses.

There is a huge difference between legitimate and illegitimate children in the imperial palace.

Unlike Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Mingyue who were full of excitement, Zhu Yunwen's face was somewhat lonely, even though he was relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang established various complex etiquette systems, even setting requirements for the length of people's sleeves.

However, the person who least abides by the rules is himself.

According to the rules, Zhu Ying is currently the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, so his route should be to start from Chunhe Palace in the Eastern Palace and enter through the left door behind Jinshen Hall.

Since the eldest grandson had lived in Kunning Palace since he was a child, he has always lived in Kunning Palace.

In this regard, even the censors did not dare to say anything.

Everyone knows very well that His Royal Highness the Grandson is the apple of His Majesty's eye. If anyone touches him, he will be dragged out and chopped off without any regard for etiquette or rules.

If you refuse to obey even after being beheaded, I will send your entire clan down with you, in order, so that you can save yourself the feast.

In this way, the route was changed to go from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, and then go directly into the Jinshen Hall from the back door.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing the same crown and robes as his eldest grandson, looked forward to it.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw my eldest grandson coming.

Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly pleased and happy as he looked at his eldest grandson, whose demeanor became more and more extraordinary with the help of his crown and robes. He took two steps at a time and walked forward to him, holding his eldest grandson's hand tightly.

Take him with you to Jinshen Palace.

"Your son greets the emperor! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to Grandpa Emperor! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in front of the many princes, princesses and grandchildren in the Jinshen Hall holding Zhu Ying's hand, more than 50 people present bowed and saluted.

When they reached the top of the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Stand up," and sat down, then let his eldest grandson speak a few words.

Zhu Ying took a quick look and saw everyone's faces.

Some are familiar, some are unfamiliar.

I have been in the palace for so long, and there are indeed many people I have not seen.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Ying said in a clear voice, "Being able to return to the palace is something I never knew and never thought about before."

"Here, I want to solemnly thank one person, that is my fourth uncle, King Yan."

"At that time, I was wandering around and making a living by doing business. I happened to be in Peking. It was when my fourth uncle saw me that he insisted on bringing me to the capital. Otherwise, I would still be in the Western Regions now."

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."

When Zhu Ying said this, he bowed to Zhu Di to express his gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di quickly bowed in return.

After hearing these words, Zhu Di's mood became very complicated.

The current Zhu Di is completely different from the Zhu Di who led the Jingnan Rebellion in history.

When he first met Zhu Ying, he really thought he was his nephew, but after checking, he found out that he was not.

He didn't have many ideas at first, but when the news of his eldest brother's death came, he came up with more ideas under the instigation of Master Daoyan and wanted to use Zhu Ying.

Unfortunately, after being used again and again, Zhu Ying finally became real again.

On the way to the capital, Zhu Di kept asking himself, what would he do if he found out that Zhu Ying was really his nephew?

I thought about it over and over again, tossing and turning.

In the end, Zhu Di realized that even if he really knew that Zhu Ying was his nephew, he would probably still send Zhu Ying back to the capital because of his eldest brother.

He might be stopped by Master Daoyan, but Zhu Di understood his feelings for his elder brother.

He couldn't either kill Zhu Ying or imprison him.

If you don't kill, you will regret it, but if you kill, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life.

When he was a child, it was his eldest brother Zhu Biao who always took care of him, and it was his eldest brother Zhu Biao who made his father truly accept him.

It was his eldest brother Zhu Biao who had always been protecting him.

Although Zhu Di was cruel, he truly cared about his father and elder brother in his heart.

How could Zhu Di possibly do such a thing as killing his eldest brother's eldest son?

Of course, there was another factor, which was that Zhu Di felt that even if he killed his eldest brother's eldest son Zhu Ying, the throne would not be his, but instead his hated nephew Zhu Yunwen.

At least now, Zhu Ying still has some friendship with him. If the throne is really given to that kid Zhu Yunwen, he will definitely target him after his father passes away.

朱棣有些失神，上方的朱英，则在说些一些生活上的小事。

譬如刚到京师的平安茶楼，和老爷子的相识等等一些趣事，这让下面皇室子孙们，对于朱英的认识越发明显，也有了一丝丝的亲近感。

在讲课，哦，不对。

在拉进亲近感这方面，这可是老本行了，朱英自然是娴熟无比。

在结尾中，朱英说道：“我失了记忆，自小流浪，曾经最为渴望的就是亲情，看着别人的叔叔，别人的姑姑，别人的弟弟妹妹其乐融融的时候。”

“那个时候的我，真的是羡慕无比。”

“进宫后，爷爷也时常教导我，宫中，就是一个大家庭，在这里每一位，都是我的亲人，我不再是孤身一人，而是有了众多的家人。”

“我终于不再是孤身一人，有了弟弟，有了妹妹，更有对我诸多关心的叔叔们。”

“二叔，三叔，四叔，在我还没有入宫的时候，就对我多番帮助，那在京师里置办的茶楼，至今还是四叔送给我的。”

说到这里的时候，朱英语气有些颤抖，再次对着朱樉，朱棡，朱棣深深作揖道：“谢谢。”

除了藩王，多数的皇室子孙都是久居深宫。

或许读书多，但在见识和交流这块，哪里能与朱英比，更别这样的话语了。

面对这番真挚的情感流露，许多的皇子甚至眼角都流出了眼泪。

几乎相同的气质，还有那熟悉的感觉，让他们想起来曾经一直呵护，照顾他们的大哥。

年幼一点的，也是听到朱英曾经的苦难，还有现如今作为太孙殿下的他，放下身段的话语，深深感动。

一时间，整个谨身殿中，所有的皇室子孙们，都对着朱英躬身回礼。

台上，朱元璋的眼睛有些湿润了。

这不就是他一直所渴望见到的吗。

曾经的朱标，在这一点上，最是得他欢心，现在的大孙，果然这方面也是像他父亲一般。

“好，好，好，咱的年岁已经大了，往后咱们老朱家，就是大孙当家了，能够见到大孙这番爱护自己的家人，咱这心中，甚是欣慰。”

“但是。”

朱元璋语气一顿，进而看向所有的皇子皇孙们，颇有些严厉的说道：“曾经你们的大哥，也是对你么宠爱有加，可若是谁依仗着这份宠爱为非作歹，咱这眼睛里，可是揉不得沙子。”

“大孙，你记好了，可不要因为心软，就不给惩罚，像你二叔，三叔他们，一个个顽劣得很，若是再有犯事，给咱狠狠的打。”

台下的朱樉，朱棡在小辈们面前如此遭父皇训斥，感觉有些面上无光。

尤其是朱樉，若是没有朱英，怕是现在都被禁足在秦王府中。

朱棡似乎察觉到旁边四弟的幸灾乐祸，轻轻冷哼一声。

只是这冷哼，似乎被朱元璋捕捉到了，凌厉的目光瞬间笼罩在朱棡身上。

朱棡连忙作揖道：“请父皇放心，儿臣定会认真听从长孙殿下的令旨，不敢造次。”

今天是大孙的大好日子，朱元璋也就不与其多作计较了，要是放在平时，怕是直接就拿着杀威棒，亲手过去招呼了。

朱棡见父皇没有多说，心中这才稍稍松了口气，余光望向旁边的四弟，心里头极为不爽。

此时刘和小声在朱元璋旁边道：“陛下，吉时差不多了。”

朱元璋点点头起身，带着大孙向奉天殿过去。

后面皇子皇孙们，则是紧紧跟随。

奉天广场之中，文武百官分两侧恭候。

现在说百官都有些不对了，朝官大概四百多人，但在今天这样特殊的日子，所有带品级的官员，哪怕是清水衙门，翰林院学子，国子监学子。

都是要在奉天广场这里见证太孙殿下的册封仪式。

总数约莫将近五千人，当真是浩浩****。

在这最前方，则是以宁妃为首的六宫嫔妃。

宁妃右侧是吕氏，不过在宁妃左侧的人，引起了六宫嫔妃，及文武百官的注视。

那是着霞帔玉带的叶月清。

此刻的叶月清，完全没有了平日里那份从容，反而像受惊的小兔子一样，有些惶恐不安。

她没想到，早上醒来的时候，竟是有宫女宦官早就做好准备。

在穿戴上华丽的冠服后，更是被带到了宁妃的左侧。

这其中的意味，叶月清自然明白。

可这些，都是她在梦里才有的事情呀，模糊的叶月清，都已经分不清梦境现实了。

直到晨光破晓，她才真正的意识到，这一切竟然是真的。

就在心头小鹿乱撞的时候，宁妃拉住叶月清的手，笑道：“月清，不必过于拘束，往后的日子还长着呢，现在要尽快习惯才是。”

“或许有些唐突，不过这也是昨夜我跟陛下商议过，你一直都陪在雄英的旁边，我相信雄英对你，也是很有感情的。”

看着宁妃慈祥的笑容，叶月清的心逐渐宁静了下来，万福道：“谢谢娘娘。”

宁妃轻轻的拍拍叶月清的手，眼神亲近，就如同在看自己的孩子一般。

右侧的吕氏见到这一幕，顿时明白这就是朱英身边的那位女子了。

她没想到的是，宁妃竟然会促使她成为太孙妃。

不过仔细一想也就明白了。

陛下年事已高，朱英而今不过十八的年纪，这往后的皇宫，当然就是朱英做主。

朱英的能力众所周知，便是陛下第二都不为过，连陛下都会相让几分，性格自然极为强势。

若是在这个时候，还安排一个娘家势力颇大的女子为太孙妃，大明第二任的皇后，那么后宫其他嫔妃的日子，怕不会太好过。

像是叶月清这般的，更加符合所有人的利益，同时也会得到陛下还有长孙殿下的赞同。

最主要的是，吕氏也听说了，这名叫叶月清的女子，和长孙殿下之前一般，也是孤身一人，并没有家人牵连。

这就少了很多矛盾，关系上也容易接洽。

想到这里，吕氏也是面带微笑，表现出亲昵的神态。

奉天门开，皇子皇孙们鱼贯而出，分两侧站立。

片刻，朱元璋拉着朱英的手出现。

“陛下驾到，太孙殿下到！”

当太监有些尖细的声音响起，所有皇子皇孙，后宫嫔妃，文武百官，学子学士，宫女宦官，宫廷禁卫，尽皆跪倒在地，山呼：“陛下万岁，太孙殿下万岁！”

在朱英的面前，但凡看见的人，都是恭恭敬敬的跪在面前。

这，便是皇帝至高无上的权威。

这番场景，任谁见了都要心潮澎湃。

若不是在前世，朱英也是经历过上万人的大场面，指不定还有些怯场。

朱元璋看到大孙从容面对的模样，非常满意。

便朗声道：“平身！”

“谢陛下！”

祭祖祭天，是昭告天地，从今天往后，这大明王朝未来的继承人，就是朱英了。

祭天，是端门右边的社稷垣。

祭天的流程很是繁琐，共分九个仪程：迎神、奠玉帛、进组、初献、亚献、终献、撤撰、送神、望瘗。

每进行一项仪程，在古典庄严的奏乐中，朱英都要随着朱元璋，分别向正位、各配位、各从位行三跪九叩礼。

从迎神至送神要下跪七十多次、叩头二百多下，历时一个时辰之久。

相比之下，祭祖就要简单许多了。

祷告过后，基本就上就差不多了，全程不到半个时辰。

这一切结束后，便就是大阅兵的环节了。

阅兵是在承天门前广场举行。

承天门前广场连通的，便就是长安街了。

这里属于内城，之前在承天门前，是T形的封闭广场，左右便是长安门。

不过在定下阅兵开始，朱英就和老爷子商量过，这样影响了阅兵的阵容，在观礼上也局限太多，便就对这里进行拆除。

左右长安街由此成为了一条贯通的的大道。

这个广场，被彻底的开放，甚至包括左右两道的长安街，都进行了很大程度的扩宽。

本来五百米不到的长安街，现在已经有将近两千米。

宽度也是有五十米宽。

从承天门上看去，一览无遗。

承天门下，外五龙桥内，还有十余米宽。

这里就是给文武百官，外交使臣观礼的地方。

而在广场外侧，便就是百姓所在了。

五城兵马司，大明治安总司人员全部出动，扶持维持秩序。

皇室子孙和嫔妃们，自然就是在承天门的城墙上观看了。

因为城墙高度的关系，朱元璋和朱英所在的位置，还特地搭建了临时的地台，这样更加方便观看，也方便将士，百姓，看到皇帝和太孙的身影。

当朱元璋来到这里，登上承天门上的地台，看向远方时。

便是当了这么多年的皇帝，也曾经率领过大军作战的朱元璋，见到远方那一眼看不到头的百姓，都显得有些兴奋。

大致是南京内外城，将近两百万的百姓们，都是疯狂的挤来这里。

太多了，真的太多了。

朱元璋甚至看到，就连屋顶上，都有不少人趴在上面观看。

当朱元璋和朱英的身影出现在承天门上的时候，哪怕是相隔了六十多米，依旧有眼尖的百姓看到了。

激动得大声呼喊起来：“是陛下，是陛下，是陛下啊！！！”

这可比追星要疯狂多了。

君权天授，在儒家思想的熏陶下，普通百姓的心中，大明之皇帝，那就是天，是神明，是万物之主宰。

要知道，哪怕是个状元郎游街，无数的百姓都想去讨点喜气，何况是可以随手钦点状元的皇帝。

随着呼喊声传开，整个人群顿时就沸腾了起来。

当几十万人疯狂呐喊那是一种怎样的体验？

天穹本就稀散的白云，被这惊天的气息冲破，一片蓝天澄净。

这天地间，再没有了其他声音，唯有‘陛下万岁’的咆哮呐喊充斥寰宇。

不仅仅是这几十万人，当声音传播开来的时候，整个南京城内外，两百万人，都被这疯狂的呐喊声所感染，跟着一起大声呼喊起来。

在朱元璋看不到的地方，那是南京城的城门。

驻守在城门的将士，清晰的听到京师城中的呐喊，热血沸腾之下，单膝跪地，朝着皇宫方向同样大喊起来。

此刻，便是在城门前排队的百姓也停了下来，朝着皇宫方向跪拜，呼喊。

南京城，似乎都在这大喊之中动弹。

朱元璋张开双臂，享受着铺天盖地的欢呼。

到这一刻，他觉得大阅兵真是好东西，大明立国二十五年了，哪里有过这等的盛况。

最主要的是，这盛况，就在他的眼前浮现。

现在，所有人的耳边，出了欢呼陛下万岁的声音，再也听不到其他的声音了。

无论是谁，都不能阻挡来自百姓的热情。

足足半炷香的时间，欢呼声才慢慢的停歇下来。

这么久的时间，不知道多少百姓，喉咙都已经哑了，实在是没力气了。

待一切安静后，朱元璋这才对身边的刘和轻轻点头。

刘和顿时了然，大声道：“陛下有旨，击鼓！奏乐！”

“陛下有旨，击鼓！奏乐！”

“陛下有旨，击鼓！奏乐！”

宦官接力大喊，传递陛下的谕旨，在这个没有扩音器的古代，也就只能如此了。

随着鼓声的响起，大阅兵也终于开始了。

此刻承天门下，众多的异国使臣，早就被眼前的一幕给震撼到四肢发软了。

这里，是大明，是大明的京师，也仅仅是大明的一座城池。

虽说是最大的城池，可大明统治疆域之辽阔，还有城池一千余座。

在这里的大部分外臣，他们的国家所统治的人口，连京师都远远比不上。

拿什么和大明抗衡，唯有俯首称臣，老老实实做好臣子该做的事情。

和外臣不同，文武百官，尤其是国子监的学子们，脸上那骄傲之色，一览无遗。

这就是他们要效忠的皇帝，这就是他们的大明的百姓，这就是他们将要为之奋斗一生的天下。

在这等氛围下，别说是官吏，学子，院士，外臣了。

就连在承天门上的嫔妃，藩王，皇孙都是鸦雀无声，心神为之所夺。

咚！咚咚！咚！咚咚！

轰！轰！轰！轰！轰！

鼓声之下，突然地面好似有些颤动，似乎有个巨人，从远方走来，这是脚踏在地面的声音。

所有人，下意识的朝着声音传来的方向望去。

阅兵开始了，远方的身影逐渐清晰，整齐的方队出现在所有人的眼前。

这来自于后世的方队阅兵，终于第一次展现在了所有人的面前。

他们步伐整齐划一，脚步铿锵有力，每一步落下，都踩在了鼓点之上，那目不斜视的眼神，极为凌厉，骇人心魄。

而这样的方队，不是一个，是整整齐齐十六个，一同前进。

每个方队为三百五十人，十六方队，恰好是一个卫所，五千六百人。

在这前方，是卫所的指挥使，副指挥使。

眼看着列成方队的将士们，坚定不移的走来，在前排的百姓心生恐惧，忍不住向后退去。

这样的视觉冲击力，简直是难以想象。

精锐的将士就已经足够让百姓震撼了，如此军纪的将士，整齐划一动作，是百姓们想都没想过的存在。

文武百官更不用说了，一个个贴到护城河的旁边，只想看得更加清楚一点。

而那些异国使臣们，嘴巴都可以放进去一个鸡蛋了。

每年来大明朝贡的国家不多，不过在天界寺这里，还是住着非常多的异国使臣。

这些使臣相当于后世的驻明大使一般，是长期在大明京师生活。

他们的吃穿用度，基本上也是由大明负责。

每次朝贡，基本上都是由这些驻扎使臣先递交申请，得到批准后，才会传信回去自己的国家。

目前在承天门下观礼的国家有：爪哇，琉球，乌斯藏，占城，西番，打箭炉，暹罗，须文达，朵甘，高丽，墨剌，哈梅里，真腊，别失八里、撒马儿罕。

当十六方队将士们出现的时候，所有的人都屏住了呼吸，皮儿马黑麻更是眼睛都不眨的盯着，他要从这方面，探索大明将士的战力。

仔细看去，每一个将士都是精神抖擞，面色上全是荣耀之光。

当十六个方队，来到承天门正中央的时候。

前方的指挥大喊：“向右看！！！立正！！！”

十六方队的将士右侧头，大喊：“一！二！”

不知是故意还是恰好，这一刻将士们的眼光，全都落在了承天门下，外交使臣，文武百官之中。

十六方队一卫，共计五六千百人。

然这呐喊的气势，如有千军万马。

首当其冲之下，所有在承天门下之人，都恐惧般向后退去，不少人甚至的跌倒在地。

卫队指挥使，向前几步，单膝跪地，大声道：“左军都督府旗下镇南卫，拜见陛下，拜见太孙殿下。”

“大明万岁！陛下万岁！太孙殿下万岁！”

随着单独的呐喊结束，后方十六方队，五千六百人尽皆单膝下跪，朝承天门方向大喊：“大明万岁！陛下万岁！太孙殿下万岁！”

这种超强的仪式感，让朱元璋年迈的身子，都变得激动颤抖起来。

在这一刻，鼓声奏乐也停了下来，这是方便陛下训话。

不然怕是什么声音都听不到了。

还好承天门到卫所这边，也就不到二十米的距离，朱元璋长吸一口气，而后朗盛道：

“众将平身！”

“谢陛下！”

随着将士们的起身，鼓乐重新想起。

“所有将士，听我号令，起步……走！”

跟随着鼓点，左军都督府旗下镇南卫的阅兵，便算是到此结束了。

苦练一月，就是为这不到半炷香的展示时间。

然而对于这些将士们来说，都觉得是非常的值得。

在数十万百姓的目光中，在中外数以千记的大臣。

还有陛下，太孙殿下，皇室贵胄。

展示自己。

这一刻，镇南卫的五千六百名将士，已经是脱胎换骨。

为大明而战的信念，油然而生。

从此，镇南卫有了真正的军魂。

“大孙，了不得，你真是了不得，咱这辈子，都没有见过这般的军队。”

“如此大军，与咱十万，可当百万之用！”

镇南卫的细微变化，在朱元璋眼中秋毫毕现，打了大半辈子仗的朱元璋，自然知道镇南卫的变化意味着什么。

并不是说镇南卫个个都能以一当十了，而是在这些将士们的心中，有了信念，有了为大明死战的信念。

冷兵器为主的战争，有一个死亡比例。

比如一万兵卒，当达到一成五的死亡后，很容易造成雪崩的连锁反应，直接溃散逃亡。

优秀的将领，通过练兵，可以将这个死亡比例提高。

历朝历代的名将，甚至有达到伤亡五成，还依旧可以持续作战的。

所谓哀兵必胜，也就是士气的缘故了。

当然，这是不包括困兽之战，亦或是几百上千人的精锐小队。

至少也是万人往上的规模。

而现在的镇南卫，朱元璋保底估计，至少都是能达到五成伤亡还依旧能够全力作战。

当这样的军队出现在战场的时候，对于敌人，那就是一场灾难。

在鼓声的响动中，朱元璋不由朝远方望去。

在那里，又是十六个方队，迈着整齐的步伐走来。

在人员的气势上，完全不比刚才的镇南卫差，甚至隐约还要强上一些。

朱元璋知道，今日像这样的阅兵，这样的卫所，还有三十卫。

其中训练时间最久的十二亲卫，还没有出场。

还有，那压轴大孙直属亲卫玄甲卫。

三十二卫，将近十万八千人，这个阅兵的时间段，最低都得一个半时辰了。

随着一列列卫所的将士走过，整体的气势，都在不断的上涨。

后面出场的将士，普通百姓看不出，可但凡懂兵之人就能察觉到，是越发的强悍。

不管是京师官吏，亦或是外交使臣。

大部分的后背，都已经湿透了。

这是遭受到了将士们的气势镇压。

每个卫所在承天门下的‘向右看！’。

都直接覆盖到他们的身上。

全程高能，身体紧绷。

一些年迈的大臣，已经因为承受不住昏倒，而被官宦拖走了。

“这样的将士，这天下真的有可以对抗的吗。”

“我撒马尔罕的勇猛将士们，若是对上他们，怕是连半成胜算都没有。”

“为什么，为什么大明的将士如此强悍，为什么在此之前，没有任何使臣汇报，他们都是吃屎了吗。”

“不行，我回去后，一定要告诉爷爷，大明不能惹，太强了，太强了。”

“仅仅就是目前看到这些在京师的将士，估计能挡我撒马尔罕数十万大军。”

“对于大明，只能结好，不能交恶。”

皮儿马黑麻双手紧握，盯着前方不断走过的大明将士，心中对自己说道。

这一次的阅兵，给皮儿马黑麻对大明，是颠覆式的印象。

这样的场景，真的太过于摄人心魄了。

别说见过，是他听都未曾听说过的强军。

爷爷帖木儿麾下的直属大军，是他曾经见过的最强军队。

在中亚的战场上，战无不胜，攻无不克。

可对比眼前的将士来，啥也不是！

阅兵的进行，许多人的心中，开始发生悄然变化。

淮西武将集团，以凉国公蓝玉为首的所有将军，长期掌兵的他们，都是看得目瞪口呆，热血沸腾。

要知道这些将士，可都是隶属于五军都督府。

他们作为长官，除了一些直管卫所的指挥使，大部分甚至都不知道什么时候，这些将士就完全换了一个模样。

“假如，我率领这样的将士出战……”

这个想法，几乎在所有的将军脑海中冒泡。

麾下有这样的将士，建功立业，那还不是手到擒来？

对比武官的兴奋，文臣们在回过神来后，就显得有些担忧了。

按照历史的发展，在建国后的平稳年代，文人一定是压武人一头的。

马放南山，刀枪入库，这是必然发生的情况。

可现在，随着太孙殿下的出现，好似这个惯例将要被打破了。

一场阅兵下来，谁都能预料到，武人的地位，将会得到难以想象的提升。

就现在京师百姓的反应，都能观测出一二来。

原本百姓对于军队，是反感，厌恶，尤其是兵役，心中抗拒。

这是历朝历代兵役的影响。

可在这一刻，不少壮年男子，心里头已经开始隐约冒出当兵的想法了。

文人的精神领袖，刘三吾。

此刻已经回到了翰林院中。

官宦刚离开，太医还未来，他就睁开了眼睛。

与其一同的，还有两位年纪差不多大的翰林院院士。

一人是张信，洪武二十七年甲戌科状元，授翰林院修撰。

一人是白信蹈，江南地区有名大儒，现翰林院院士。

“先生，这番下来，我等该何去何从，原以为太孙上位，当重用文臣，可如今看来，太孙殿下面善心狠，心中的野望，比之陛下都不逞多让啊！”

五十多岁的掌张信，八十岁的刘三吾，七十岁出头的白信蹈面前，还显得很是年轻。

而这番话，也说出了他的担忧。

白信蹈也是沉声道：“此言在理，这些丘八的变化着实惊人，甚至比之兵书上操练出来的将士，还要强上几分。”

“由此可见，太孙殿下对于军事，征伐，尤为感兴趣，还有比拟陛下的天资。”

“陛下年迈，自然不会擅动兵戈，可太孙殿下不同，按照记载，太孙殿下当是今年本月，才满十八。”

“年轻人，难免气盛，有掌如此强军，个中野望怕是难以估量。”

刘三吾听到两人的话，也是赞同的点头，叹息道：“国虽大，好战必亡。”

“今日大明之强盛，在老夫看来，不见得是个好事。”

“诚然，老夫有看到，对于诸多外臣来说，产生了足够的震慑，使其不敢轻举妄动。”

“可边疆的征伐，又哪是因为争夺土地，草原上的威胁，是因为他们的粮食，让他们活不下去了。”

“每年的朝贡，就是我大明对其救济，让他们能够勉强维持，不至于边疆混乱。”

“可我大明的粮食，连自家的百姓都不够吃，怎能安抚得住这众多臣国。”

“以太孙殿下的脾性，若是边疆有战事发生，亦或是不利我大明，则必将勃然大怒，兴万兵以战，至那时，将血流成河。”

说完，刘三吾喟然长叹。

此时，张信和白信蹈，满脸忧国忧民。

半晌，白信蹈咬牙道：“佛语有云：我不入地狱，谁入地狱。”

“我们能想到的这些，陛下肯定有所察觉，只是太孙殿下十年归来，宠爱无双，即便是知道，陛下也不忍责怪。”

“如今，唯有一人以性命警示陛下，太孙殿下。方可唤起陛下，殿下心中警示。”

这话说完，张信面色坚毅，想要开口说话。

却被白信蹈一把拉住衣袖。

只见白信蹈沉声道：“我如今已有七十，这辈子也算是活够了，信，你才不过天命之年，往后还有很长的日子。”

说完，白信蹈看向刘三吾，继续道：“先生，你不能去，这天下文人，尚且还需你来带领。”

“如此，自然我去，当最合适！”

白信蹈声音坚定的说道。

刘三吾听到这话，千言万语堵在喉间，却不知从何说起。

唯有双手紧紧握住白信蹈，才能表达心中激动之情。

便是刘三吾三人，在这里密谈的时候。

承天门外大阅兵，也即将到了尾声。

上卫，即宫廷十二亲卫的最后一卫，并非是锦衣卫。

锦衣卫因为职责问题，并没有参与到这次的大阅兵之中。

替代锦衣卫的，便是朱英直属亲卫，玄甲卫。

玄甲卫的服饰，经过了朱英的调整，紧身加黑红披风的设计，显得更加精炼利落，更有一种华丽贵气的体现。

他们的列队，比起前面的三十一卫，更加整齐。

甚至在身高上，都是高度的统一。

这所带来的视觉效果，更加令人瞩目。

最特别的是，在他们身上，不仅有佩刀，还有一根类似于火铳般的事物。

说它是火铳吧，好像又不像，没人见过这般细长的火铳，更像是加厚的长棍。

当玄甲卫出现的时候。

在承天门最高地台上的朱元璋，侧身看向大孙，笑道：“该你了，大孙。”

这声音，带着一丝解脱，还有浓厚的沙哑。

三十一声的呐喊，让朱元璋的嗓子早就承受不住了。

一直都是靠着兴奋和激动支撑着。

而当玄甲卫出现，朱元璋便决定把这最后一声的机会，让与大孙。

显然，对于老爷子的相让，是没有出现在既定流程中的，完全是老爷子的临时起意。

不过在这一刻，早就旁观多时的朱英，仅仅是刹那的停顿，便就回道：“必不让爷爷失望。”

朱元璋满意的点点头，如释重负的走下台来。

一个多时辰的站立呐喊，让已有六十多岁朱元璋，感到些许吃不消。

这一放松，差点没跌倒。

朱英眼疾手快，顿时扶住，同时对太监吩咐道：“快把龙椅搬过来。”

龙椅是早就备好了的，不过朱元璋之前一直不肯坐。

现在这么个情况，也只能坐下歇息。

刘和马上端来参茶，为朱元璋弥补亏空的气血。

一口参茶下肚，朱元璋的气色红润了许多。

朱英见此，这才开始走上前方高台。

当朱英走上高台的那一刻，朱元璋摆摆手，刘和马上对两个宦官使眼色。

两个宦官扯起腿，分别朝着左右击鼓的鼓手飞奔过去。

当玄甲卫即将抵达承天门的时候，鼓声和奏乐变得越发慷慨激昂起来。

朱元璋的嘴角，露出满意的微笑。

这是他在没通知大孙，特意的进行了修改。

听到鼓乐变化的朱英，顿时就明白这都是老爷子的授意。

他没有选择回头，因为此刻的玄甲卫，已经走到了承天门下。

玄甲卫指挥使抬头，第一时间就认出了站在承天门上的并非是陛下，而是换成了太孙殿下。

顿时，心情更为激动了起来。

“直属亲卫玄甲卫，拜见太孙殿下！”

“大明万岁！陛下万岁！太孙殿下万岁！！！”

“大明万岁！陛下万岁！太孙殿下万岁！！！”

感受到这无与伦比的气势冲击，朱英浑身都在颤抖。

这不是害怕，是兴奋，是激动，是满满的成就感！

有明一朝，无汉之外戚，唐之藩镇，宋之岁币。

不和亲，不赔款，不割地，不纳贡。

天子守国门，君王死社稷。

纵观古今，为最硬气之王朝。

铁骨铮铮，堪为华夏脊梁。

何其有幸，降于大明，为这大明，第一太孙。

如今大明之国力，冠绝寰宇。

大明之强盛，已为巅峰。

即是如此，朱英有什么理由，这让这天下，这日月之所照，不皆为大明之江山。

想到此处，朱英望向玄甲卫五千六百人，朗声大喝道：

“全体都有！听吾号令！”

“点火！”

“鸣枪！”

“为大明贺！！！”
