On the twelfth day of October, the Manchu Dynasty held an enthronement ceremony for Song Yinzi.

The procedure for the enthronement ceremony is cumbersome and cumbersome. Sacrifice to the heavens and the earth to worship the emperor, all kinds of bows, all kinds of reading chapters, all kinds of court rules.

Xiao Ding and the Han brothers led the army to be responsible for guarding and maintaining order, and he felt his head big as he watched these ceremonies from the sidelines.

In fact, these have minus a lot of steps. Normally, when the emperor ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, it takes half a month to a month just to prepare. Song Yinzi was in a hurry to set a relatively recent date to ascend the throne.

After all, the court cannot be without a monarch for a day, and many things need to be handled by Song Yinzi after he becomes the emperor in a righteous manner. For example, the emperor's jade seal can only be used by the emperor himself or someone designated by the emperor, and if someone uses it without the emperor's permission, it is a private jade seal, with bad intentions, and he will be killed. If Song Yinzi does not ascend the throne, according to the rules of the palace, he will not have the right to use the jade seal, so many things cannot be decided.

After a series of tedious etiquette and steps, finally at noon, Song Yinzi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace.

The civil and military officials knelt down under His Royal Highness and bowed three times and bowed nine times. After the ceremony, the eunuch read out loudly: "From today onwards, the original Mu King Chitose Song Yinzi succeeded as the new emperor, inherited the unification, the country name is the Great Song, the honorific title is Emperor Dezhao, and the year name is set as Zhengyuan, from today onwards, the year is changed to the first year of Zhengyuan." ”

The minister of civil and military affairs shouted long live in the mountain below, and his voice resounded throughout the hall.

Next is the emperor's reward.

Song Yinzi sat on the dragon chair unhurriedly, slowly spoke, and rewarded him.

First of all, the first to be crowned is his dead father Emperor Song Yuanting, in fact, Song Yinding has been posthumously crowned once when he ascended the throne, this time Song Yinzi ascended the throne, and once again posthumously crowned the old emperor Song Yuanting's nickname: Weide Suguang Tianyou Shengrui Taishang Emperor, the temple number Qingzong, the posthumous title of the old emperor's Zhenggong Empress is: Xiaoci Yi Zheshun Fu Tianchang Shengchun Empress, posthumously crowned his biological mother Concubine Liu, nickname: Su Zheyi Cheng Jingyi Tianzuo Imperial Princess.

After Song Yinding's mother succeeded to the throne, Song Yuanting arrested her and put her in prison, framed her and killed the old emperor Song Yuanting, but Concubine Liu was tortured in prison and hanged herself.

Song Yinzi only heard about this after returning to Zhongzhou, when he was grief-stricken and vowed to avenge his mother. But when he faced his own brother, his heart softened again.

After posthumously sealing the old emperor and queen, the next step is to seal the harem queen and concubines.

Song Yinzi's wives and concubines are not many, there are only five or six in total. In the Great Song Kingdom in this era, among the many nobles, a noble son like him who only married five or six wives and concubines was already considered to have a small number of wives and concubines. He also had a concubine who died because she accidentally ate the Red Refining Flame Fruit.

Song Yinzi's wife, Hua, gave birth to a son for Song Yinzi, who is now two years old, and another concubine, Chang, gave birth to a daughter for Song Yinzi, who is now one and a half years old. The rest of the concubines did not produce.

So Song Yinzi crowned his wife Hua as the queen of the main palace and ruled the entire harem. Crowning Chang and other concubines as imperial concubines, if there is a dragon child in the future, it can be promoted to the East Palace and the West Palace Niangniang, if there is no dragon child, the East Palace and the West Palace are temporarily empty.

Then he crowned the ninth princess Song Yinping as the princess of Shengcheng, his son as the prince and prince, and his daughter as the princess Jingyi.

Next, in the harem, Song Yinzi added the title of the former chamberlain and Gonggong Ji as the chief eunuch of the chamberlain. Some other internal servants have not changed much, and they are basically in step by step according to their previous positions.

After sealing the palace officials, it was the turn of the court officials to seal them. First of all, the first thing to be sealed is the position of the chief prime minister of the left class, Song Yinzi promoted the scholar of the original Yuange University, and Gao Liangkai, the eldest son of the old prince, served as the prime minister of the left class, and took over the position of the former prime minister Zhao Shisun.

Although Gao Liangkai was born in a Gao family that has been martial arts for generations, he loved learning literature and did not like to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he inherited this from his mother. Don't look at the life of the old prince Gao, but his wife is a beautiful lady, born in a scholarly family, she has learned to write since she was a child, and she is proficient in poetry and songs.

Gao Liangkai inherited his mother's gentleness and elegance since he was a child, and the house invited a gentleman to several of their brothers to teach them to read and write, and the other brothers were sleepy as soon as they read, but Gao Liangkai became more addicted to it the more he read.

So, slowly, Gao Liangkai embarked on the route of Xiwen. Seeing that his eldest son liked to learn literature, the old prince Gao no longer forced him to learn martial arts. Anyway, I have several sons, so it's good for someone to inherit their martial arts, and there is no need to force all my sons to learn martial arts and go to the battlefield.

Later, when Gao Liangkai grew up, he was in the circle of sons in Kyoto, and he has always been known for his profound knowledge and fame in Kyoto.

Gradually, his reputation spread to the ears of the emperor, and with the background of the old prince Gao, Gao Liangkai was soon recruited by the emperor to the Hanlin Academy and was named a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

This Hanlin Academy was originally a place used by the emperor to cultivate reserve talents, and Wenyuan Pavilion was the emperor's place to collect books. The daily work of the scholars of Wenyuange is to be responsible for compiling and sorting out ancient books.

Gao Liangkai is with books every day, and his knowledge is getting deeper and deeper. Let him serve as prime minister, but it will not be in vain for his full stomach. It's just that he is just over forty years old, and in front of the old ministers, he still looks too young.

Hearing the emperor's reward, Gao Liangkai himself didn't expect such a good thing, his previous position was powerless and powerless, just a civil servant, and now he is named prime minister, this time it is a grass chicken to become a phoenix! Immediately became a very human minister, and his status was suddenly above 10,000 people under one person, where would he be unhappy!

Gao Liangkai immediately trotted from the back of many ministers to the bottom of the steps of the main hall and knelt down to thank him.

Song Yinzi encouraged him, and then asked the eunuch next to him to hand the edict of appointment to Gao Liangkai. Gao Liangkai took the edict of appointment, was overjoyed, thanked him again, and stepped aside to stand aside.

The next official position to be sealed is the position of Tai Lieutenant, which is also a high-ranking position. All the officials were looking forward to the emperor, thinking in their hearts, would this position fall on their heads?

What the officials didn't expect was that what Song Yinzi shouted in his mouth was the words "Tian Xiaoding listens to the seal".

Xiao Ding was originally standing outside the hall with the Han brothers, responsible for the security and maintenance of law and order at today's enthronement ceremony. He did not go into the temple with all the officials to worship.

Because he knew that his position as the deputy marshal of the army was a position in the army, but it was only temporary, and now the king of Jiaozhou had been driven to the country of Datubo. His position as deputy marshal will also expire.

He didn't expect that the matter of the emperor's reward for hundreds of officials would have his own affairs today.

However, just as he was watching the noon sun shining on his head, he was already a little hungry in his belly, thinking about when he would be able to finish it completely and go back to lunch, when he heard a eunuch in the main hall shouting: "Tian Xiaoding enters the hall to listen to the seal!" ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly glanced at the Han family brothers beside him, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he walked towards the main hall.

When I walked into the hall, I saw Song Yinzi sitting on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, which looked a little majestic.

Now that Song Yinzi is the emperor, although Xiao Ding is familiar with him, his identity is different at this time, so he has no choice but to kneel down and salute, and say: "Chentian Xiaoding listens to the order!" ”

I only heard Song Yinzi sit on it and said slowly: "Tian Aiqing, Zhiyong Shuangquan, Santao Six Strategies, Strategizing, this rebellion against the king of Jiaozhou, as well as the rebellion against the king of Luo, are all the credit of Aiqing." In addition, Tian Aiqing has also saved me between life and death several times, which is really a miraculous achievement and an indispensable contribution. Therefore, I want to reward Tian Aiqing with the title of Marquis of Loyal and Martial Protectors, and future generations can also inherit it. At the same time, Tian Aiqing was appointed as the capital of the Tai Lieutenant, in charge of all military and political affairs in the world of our Great Song Kingdom, and Tian Aiqing will need to serve the country more in the future and share my worries! ”

The King of Luo mentioned in Song Yinzi's words refers to Song Yinding, who was named King Luo by the old emperor before he seized the throne.

As soon as Song Yinzi's voice fell, all the ministers were shocked, you must know that Xiao Ding is young, and among this group of officials, not to mention the youngest, it is estimated that it is not much worse. Except for some of the new generation of young generals on the military general's side, the other officials are basically old fritters who have worked hard in the officialdom for many years, and they don't know how many relationships they have pulled over the years, how many sycophants they have patted, and how many backdoors they have bribed, but none of them can mix with the title of marquis, and they can still be hereditary. This is their ultimate dream of being an official!

Unexpectedly, this little-known young military attache actually received such a high reward from the emperor all of a sudden, which made other officials envious!

You know, what the emperor did just now entitle is not only the title of marquis, but also the position of captain? These officials were still speculating before, who would end up with the position of this captain, who would have thought that it would fall on the head of this kid, they were simply jealous of the dead!

However, after Xiao Ding heard this, he was very unimpressed. He has been more disgusted with being an official since he hit it in his heart. It's not that he can't do it, it's that he doesn't want to do it. As the saying goes, "no official is light", where can an official be idle and free at home?

Xiao Ding may have traveled to this world because he didn't want to get involved in the disputes of those court officials, nor did he want to waste his brain cells to intrigue with those officials. He knew in his heart that with the relationship between him and Song Yinzi, he could be a celebrity next to the emperor who could influence the dynasty more than Gao Geyu. If he wants to be a big traitor, it is not too easy to give him ideas by Song Yinzi's side every day to achieve his goals.

However, Xiao Ding is unwilling to do this, it is better not to be an official, he is unrestrained, and he can do whatever he wants. He is used to doing things freely alone, and he doesn't like to be managed, even if he listens to Song Yinzi alone, he doesn't want to.

So Xiao Ding Shili said: "Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor for the reward, but His Majesty is used to being idle, and he has not read any sage books, nor does he know how to govern the government, so this title of loyal and military protector of the country, His Majesty can accept it, but this is the position of the capital of the Taiwei, and the subordinates may not be able to do it, and please ask the emperor to invite another master!" ”

When Song Yinzi heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he said in his heart, "Okay, you Tian Xiaoding, I will give you the title of marquis, but you accept it honestly and unceremoniously, and make you a captain, but you refuse to do it." You know how to think about it!

Everyone in the Jinluan Hall understands that the marquis is a knight and has no real power, but he enjoys a high salary and belongs to the senior civil servants of the state who eat the imperial salary. But the lieutenant is different, it is a real position of real power, and it needs to be bothered to deal with the major affairs of the relevant countries. If there is a border war and the like, the captain also has to worry a lot.

Xiao Ding only accepts the title of marquis, not the position of captain, obviously this is just wanting to take money and not want to work!

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard Xiao Ding say this, they also saw Xiao Ding's careful thinking. I was secretly saying in my heart, is this kid stupid? No matter how much money a Hou Ye takes, it can't compare to the bribes he receives as a captain! As the highest military governor in the country, his authority is very large, and the officials who come to give him gifts may line up to stand on the street. This kid lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, maybe he has a problem with his brain!

The hundreds of officials below whispered one after another, although they talked in a whisper, but Xiao Ding's ears and eyes were smart, and they could hear it clearly. But he didn't mind, and still stuck to his thoughts.

Song Yinzi thought that Xiao Ding was just pretending to be humble, so he opened his mouth to comfort Xiao Ding for a long time, but found that Xiao Ding had always resolutely not wanted the position of captain. At this time, he felt that Xiao Ding really didn't want to be this official. So he said helplessly: "Okay, Tian Aiqing's attitude is so resolute, I will no longer force Aiqing, but if Tian Aiqing wants to hide from leisure, you still need to recommend someone to me to take over your position as a captain." If the person you recommend can satisfy me, I will grant your request. ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the ranks of civil and military officials, but in fact, there were not many officials he could know.

In the civil and military officials, the most conspicuous people now, of course, are the four old princes of Gao, Yang, Luo, and Yue, since Zhao Shisun and Gao Geyu became prisoners, these four old princes no longer have opponents against each other, and above the court, they have become the oldest veterans with the most qualifications.

Xiao Ding glanced at the four old princes, rolled his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty recommended Yang Hongtao, the old prince, to serve as the captain. As far as the minister knows, when the old prince Yang was young, his merits were remarkable, and he was usually upright, so the old prince Yang could be appointed as a captain. ”

Xiao Ding gave a salute after speaking, and then peeked at Song Yinzi. In fact, Xiao Ding originally wanted to recommend Old Prince Gao. However, he immediately thought that the eldest son of the old prince Gao had just been named the prime minister of the left class, this is the head of the civil officials, if the old prince Gao was allowed to be the captain again, then the court would not become the Gao family. Even if Song Yinzi agrees, the Manchu civil and military forces may not be convinced!

So, he instead recommended Old Prince Yang, anyway, they are all people from the four major palaces, and they are all people with remarkable merits at the beginning, and any prince who comes to be a captain can do it. It's just that if he takes office, the old prince's leisure days for retirement in the future may come to an end.
