Chapter 384: Enthronement Ceremony
Time flies by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached November 11, 620 AD, which is a rare auspicious day this year.
The first lamp was lit in the Chaotian Hall of the Martial God Palace.
With this reference all over Yecheng, they have lit up lanterns that have been arranged.
In a split second.
Yecheng, with its silver light and bright lights, has become a city that never sleeps, and even the dark night sky is half of the sky red under the candle flames, brilliant as the sunset.
The whole city is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, as if suddenly entering the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
"Whenβwhenβ"
At the first moment of the day, the Jingyang bell of the Shenwu Palace rang in the Heavenly Palace, and the low bell rang throughout the city, and millions of people in Yecheng walked out of their homes, standing on the street, looking at the direction of the Shenwu Palace with excitement.
At this time, in the main hall of the Chaohui Palace, it was another scene.
The women of the Yang family in full costume were all in the list, and Xiao Wu, who was wearing a phoenix crown, was combing Yang Tong's hair, and in front of everyone's eyes, she looked a little nervous, and her movements were a little clumsy.
Empress Xiao on the side looked at this pair of children, and her phoenix eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia and sadness.
In a trance.
If you are in the Chang'an Manna Palace, and the pair of beautiful people in front of you have become yourself and your husband......
You remember that she was the same as Xiao Wu back then, even if she combed her husband's hair for many years, but at that moment, she was quite clumsy.
And her husband is also like Dong Er now, sitting quietly, and his two faces are almost as light as water.
Suddenly, the sour heart in Empress Xiao's heart was like a canopy between heaven and earth, and the light mist was getting thicker. Almost instantly, I lost myself.
"Dong'er, why are you so serious? Laugh one. The little princess, who has grown up a lot, said with a smile.
"Can't laugh." Yang Tong said.
"Why can't you laugh?" The little princess was puzzled.
"The responsibility is as heavy as a mountain." Yang Tong smiled slightly.
"Isn't that laughing?"
ββ¦β¦β
Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang glanced at each other in shock, and they both saw a deep look of shock and incredulity in each other's eyes.
This conversation!
The mother and daughter have a particularly fresh memory.
Princess Nanyang also had such a conversation with her father back then!
It's unbelievable.
Coincidence, or providence?
Yang Tong was dressed in a dark royal robe, embroidered with eight chapters of patterns such as mountain, dragon, mountain, Chinese insect, fire, Zong Yi, etc., and the jade belt was tied around the waist, and there were ornaments such as scarfs.
Sui's original work is "followed", with the meaning of following, with the nature of water, so it is water virtue and still black.
Emperor Wu Yang Guang in the first year of the Great Cause edict on the system of chapter uniforms, stipulating the specific position of the twelve chapters on the emperor's "crown": "On the left and right cheeks for the sun and the moon, when the back collar is the stars, and the mountain dragon and nine things, each repeating the twelve...... The quality of clothing is Xuan, such as mountain, dragon, Chinese insect, fire, Zongyi, etc., and woven into five things: clothing quality is silk, plus algae, powdered rice, yellow, and yellow. The number of clothes is all, this is nine chapters, and the three stars (referring to the sun, the moon, and the stars), and the preparation of twelve also. β
Yang Guang divided the sun and moon on his shoulders, and the stars were listed on his back, and since then, "shouldering the sun and moon and carrying the stars" has become a model for the emperor's crown dress in the future. As for the crown prince, Hou Bo, Zinan, Gu Qing, and princes, they are respectively nine chapters, seven chapters, five chapters, and three chapters
The twelve chapters of the imperial robe contain the most perfect and beautiful emperor's virtues, symbolizing that the emperor is the master of the earth, and his power is "as great as heaven and earth, all things are contained in the repetition, like the sun and the moon, and the eight directions shine in the inside".
Yang Tong is not a prince, and he is not an emperor yet, so he continues to wear the eight-chapter prince suit, but in order to facilitate the wearing of the twelve-chapter 'dragon robe', his body is tighter and narrower than before.
After getting dressed, Xiao Wu took over the Eight Ping Tian Crown from the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, also commonly known as the crown of the hat, and the Han is a string of beads before and after the hat, made of white jade.
She took a closer look and solemnly placed it on Yang Tong's head.
When Yang Tong got up, Xiao Wu and the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly hung up all kinds of accessories, fortunately, this set of clothes is only worn during festivals, sacrifices, and ceremonies, if you come like this every day, Yang Dong really can't bear it.
He looked at Yang Yu on the side, and saw that this kid was dressed the same as him, with a distressed expression, as if he couldn't stand this gorgeous crown dress, as long as he moved slightly, the jingling sound sounded.
Seeing Yang Tong's glance, Yang Yu hurriedly said, "Second brother, the crown dress is too troublesome and ugly." He raised his arm, and continued: "Look at this sleeve, it's almost mopping the floor, and it will tinkle at the slightest movement, why don't you reform it?" β
'Reform' is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a common word in the Great Sui.
"Change, it has to be changed!" Yang Tong agreed: "But wait until I become the emperor." β
"It's so good." Yang Yu said happily: "I feel like a monkey now. β
"Then I'll only change the emperor's!"
"Isn't it?" When Yang Yu heard this, his face couldn't help but darken.
Yang Tong laughed and said, "The monkey is fun." β
Yang Yu: "......"
All the women laughed.
Looking at a house full of loved ones, Yang Tong has a feeling of dreaming, he was a small house slave in front of him, and he actually became the emperor, he really has a feeling of not waking up in a dream, and at the same time has a strong sense of gratitude to God, if it is not for Yang Dong to cross into a city, he is probably still struggling to survive now, even if he mixes well, I am afraid that he is just a soldier and a small official under the command of a certain prince, if it were not for Yang Dong's identity, he would never have developed so fast, and he would not have today's brilliant cause and a group of beautiful and virtuous wives, Lovely kids.
Yang Tong was too demanding of the names of Eternal Fame, Emperor of the Ages, and Changing the Heavens and the Earth, but he needed victory, because only by constantly winning could he keep what he had and build a powerful Great Sui Empire.
If you lose, your fame, your wealth, your glory, your power, your life, your loved ones, and so on, will be all gone.
He will keep all this, and all those who dare to offend will be killed.
At this moment, his eyes became as sharp as a blade.
The sharp momentum permeated the whole hall.
"Dong'er!"
"Husband!"
"Second brother!"
Yang Tong is the center and backbone of everyone, and his sudden changes have made everyone worried.
Yang Tong came back to his senses, looked at a pair of eyes, and smiled apologetically: "It's worried everyone." β
"Dong'er, you're just so scary." The little princess had palpitations.
Everyone nodded.
At that moment just now, Yang Tong was so terrifying, it made people feel as if they were in a barren killing place with mountains of corpses, thousands of miles of blood, and thousands of miles of red fields.
Although this is just an illusion, at this moment, everyone still feels it deeply.
"I just realized a truth." Without waiting for everyone to ask, Yang Tong explained: "Whether I am crisscrossing the battlefield or engaging in intrigues, it is not to kill the enemy, not to enjoy the happiness of fame, nor to be the emperor, but to protect." β
"The world is not peaceful, and the identity and ability of ordinary people can't protect all the people I care about, all the things I care about... That's how I tried my best to make myself stronger. And if you don't advance the road to hegemony, you will die, so I can only protect everything if I become a real emperor. β
"In the final analysis, whether it is an emperor or a general, or a pawn of a peddler, it is just to protect."
The little princess was stunned and frowned, "What are you talking about?" β
Yang Tong's face turned dark, "Play the piano to the cow!" β
"Queen Mother, Dong Er scolded me for being a cow." The little princess ran to Empress Xiao's side and complained.
"The queen mother didn't hear it." Empress Xiao smiled slightly, and pity-pity-pleased her little face.
"They all bully me, I bully the baby." The little princess muttered and ran away.
Yang Tong's face froze.
Dare to be affectionate is not enough to bully our generation, but also to bully the next generation.
In a flash!
A room full of women ran away.
Yang Tong was a little dumbfounded.
It seems that the little princess is playing really.
β¦β¦
Time slowly came to the end of the day, and the sky was covered with fish belly white, and the light was sprinkled all over the earth, rendering a piece of gold.
Nine thousand five thousand soldiers had gathered on the square of the Chaotian Temple of the Shenwu Palace, with swords and battle flags flying, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the solemn and magnificent Chaotian Hall in front of them.
"Dang!"
When the melodious bells echoed in the Shenwu Palace with ancient rhythms, everyone understood that King Qin began to take the first step on the throne - to worship his ancestors.
In the Taimiao of Shenwu Palace, a solemn hall was slowly pushed open the main entrance, and Yang Tong, who was standing in front of the door, walked in with Yang Gongren and Yang Yu, Yang Shidao, Yang Chanshi, and Yang Shanhui who were holding the sacrificial text.
The main hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Yang family;
Yang Zhen, Yang Zhong, Yang Quan, Yang Zhan, Yang Song, Yang Shuang...... Yang Zhao, Yang Xuan, and Yang Gao are all among them, and the spiritual positions of Yang Jian and Yang Guang are naturally placed in the center.
After Yang Tong and the clan respectfully offered incense, they knelt on the futon in front of him and kowtowed nine times.
Kong Yingda, who was in charge of the master of ceremonies, re-presented the memorial to Yang Gongren and said, "Please read the sacrificial text to the left servant."
"Whoa!" Yang Gongren responded, and then gave a salute to the ancestors of the Yang family as a courtier, opened the sacrificial text with a serious face, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been ordered by the heavens, and the imperial calendar has been mapped. Although the times are different, and the same way of governance, one after another...... Lonely by the heavens, Shao Piji, the government of the party, the front emblem is the ...... Only inherit the order of heaven, cultivate the Ming Ceremony, use prayers to bless, and eternally honor my state! Feast!
Passages of sacrificial texts were read out of Yang Gongren's mouth, echoing in the huge temple, Yang Tong looked at the spirit card above, and murmured: "Yang Dong is the ancestor of the ancestors, and the descendants of Yang Tong will definitely dominate the world, so that my Great Sui Yang clan will resound throughout the ages and be immortal!" β
When all the sacrificial texts were recited, Yang Tong kowtowed three times again, slowly stood up, and led the crowd away with firm steps.
In front of the Chaotian Temple.
Tianzi Luan is ready.
Tianzi's car is different from others, and the Wanli BMW that pulls the car is six horses, which is the highest specification.
When the crisp and melodious bell rang, 9,500 armored warriors escorted Yang Dong's Tianzi Luan and slowly drove out of the Shenwu Palace and went to the square in the southern suburbs of Yecheng to worship the heavens.
When Tianzi Luan appeared in the square, Wei Yunqi, a soldier in gorgeous armor, shouted: "Salute." β
With a "swish", nearly 100,000 soldiers raised their hands, just one raised their hands, and the sound of neatly aligned armor colliding converged into a loud noise!
Then there was a chorus of 'choking' knife drawings, and the horizontal knife pointed diagonally towards the sky, facing the direction of Tianzi Luan's driving, and then forcefully retracted in front of his nose. The soldiers' movements were inconsistent, and there was a burst of sound. But there was no extra noise.
Under the blue sky and white sun, the blade reflected the cold light.
Immediately, the army spoke in unison: "Long live the Great Sui!" β
The loud roar of the 100,000 elite division was full of killing aura, and its might made people have a domineering momentum that could not be matched with.
The kings and envoys of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Turkic, and Western Regions only felt their chests tightened, and they could barely breathe.
There were many people in these groups of envoys who harbored evil intentions, but when they saw the momentum of the Great Sui at this time, their hearts were taken away.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the huge square suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn.
Yang Dong's Luan, escorted by the male soldiers, soon arrived at the platform of the heavens.
The platform is made of white marble and has three floors, each with nine steps and a height of about 27 meters.
Standing in the audience were neatly dressed civil and military ministers, the Taishou of the counties of the Great Sui, the generals of the army, and so on, and thousands of people were divided into two columns by civil and military forces, all of them were full of energy and smiles.
The 95,000 people who took the lead lined up around the stage, all of them in bright armor and shining swords, standing there without moving, like a majestic sculpture, like a spear and sword pointing straight to the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of people came to watch the ceremony.
Yang Tong got out of the carriage and stepped step by step on the platform, and at this time, the person in charge of the etiquette of worshipping the sky was Liu Xuan, the first Confucian of the Great Sui.
When Yang Tong stepped on the highest place, Liu Xuan respectfully handed three lit incense sticks to Yang Dong and asked him to worship heaven and earth.
Then Liu Xuan held the sacrificial text in his hand, stood on the steps below, and read the sacrificial text aloud condescendingly: "In November of the sixteenth year of the Great Cause, Ding Chen on the eleventh day of Yue, Emperor Dong, sincerely feared that he would tell the emperor the queen of heaven, the god of the sky, and the gods of the four directions: Sui has the world, and the history is boundless...... I would like to choose an auspicious day to go to the altar to pay tribute, receive the emperor's seal, and come to the Quartet. But God feasts on the Sui family, and the eternal Sui calendar! β
Here Liu Xuan recited and read the emperor sacrifice that announced the heavens and the earth, Yang Dong also worshiped the heavens and the earth, he looked at the blue sky, and murmured: "May God help me Yang Dong and end the chaotic world." β
At this time, the two ceremonial officials each held a tray in their hands and respectfully walked up to the platform, and a tray contained the heirloom jade seal. Another tray is placed with 12 flat crowns and 12 crown clothes
Two other empty salute officers followed.
Liu Xuan bowed and said, "Please take the seal of the saint and wear a crown for the saint." β
An empty-handed first picked up the Pingtian crown and wanted to put it on for Yang Tong.
Yang Tong resolutely refused, stretched out his hand to stop the official with one-ten-thousandth of his strength, and said to Liu Xuan in a righteous and stern manner: "Benevolence has no talent and no virtue, please choose the talented and virtuous person to accept it!" β
Liu Xuan said unhappily: "The saint is the orthodox clan of the Great Sui, and his merits are known in the world, and there is an edict from the first emperor, so it is advisable to receive the jade seal of the country." The situation has been sacrificed to the emperor, the queen of heaven, the earth, and the gods of the sky, what can I say? β
Yang Tong had a resolute attitude and resolutely refused, saying that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it.
Liu Xuan's words are full of words, and he has to be replaced.
Yang Tong sighed helplessly. This rule is really speechless......
Then he honestly let the ceremonial official replace the Eight Ping Tian Crown with the Twelve Ping Tian Crown, put on the twelve chapter crown clothes, and took the jade seal of the country from the hand of another ceremonial official, held it high, and said loudly: "Long live the Great Sui"
"Wechen meets the saint!"
"The last general will meet the Holy One!"
"The grass people meet the saint!"
The military officials, sergeants and people in the audience bowed to the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted to the saints.
