Verses 657 and 658 Li Luo ascended the throne, the first year of Hongwu!
As the day of Li Luo's enthronement ceremony approached, the entire Tang dynasty and the opposition were filled with a tense and celebratory atmosphere.
Even the people of all ethnic groups in Dali are looking forward to the Holy King as the emperor at this time.
The trend of the times and the aspirations of the people. Coupled with the propaganda of the Special Investigation Bureau among the people, public opinion has reached the point where Li Luofei cannot be called emperor.
On August 5, whether it is Jiangling, Lin'an, Luoning and other big cities, or counties and counties, all the lights are lit up and festive.
The Ministry of Finance allocated 3 million for the use of the ceremony. But in fact, a lot of this money was used to reward the government and the people.
At three o'clock (early in the morning) of August 8, military camps and warships in various parts of the Tang Kingdom fired salutes at the same time, bell towers and drum towers in large and small cities sounded loudly together, and firecrackers were set off at the same time in village offices.
All Taoist temples and palaces in all parts of the Tang Kingdom burned incense, and Taoist officials recited the Tao Te Ching at the same time.
All the people, under the urging of the village officials, cleaned their faces and clothes, and did not go to the farmland. And the officials and samurai wore uniforms and wore swords.
The military camps and fleets in various places raised the dragon and phoenix flags and the phoenix flags together.
And Haijing Luoning, Nanjing Lin'an, line in Jiangling, is nine cannons resonate seven times, representing Li Luo from Zhaoji Haidong to the emperor a total of seven spring and autumn.
The dragon and phoenix auspicious flag representing the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the plum blossom flag representing the national flower, the ploughing cow flag representing the national beast, the yin and yang Taiji Bagua flag representing the avenue, and the crane flag representing the national bird... All of them were played, and as far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of flags waving in the wind.
The city has long been clear and orderly. The people selected by each square to observe the ceremony also entered the imperial city and lined up in the square.
There were also representatives from Haidong who came to observe the ceremony, as well as representatives from Lin'an, Guangzhou, Dali City, Annan and other places, and there were always five or six thousand people who came to Jiangling.
In addition to the officials and samurai representatives from all over the country who came to watch the ceremony, as well as the officials of the capital, more than 10,000 people participated in the ceremony.
On the Imperial City Square, nine large bronze tripods lit cigarettes, and the Tang Palace guards wearing purple armor and carrying Tang knives on their waists stood under the leadership of Yang Li and Shi Sango, the guards on the left and on the right.
Under the glory of the ceremonial guard, as well as lions, tigers, elephants, white cranes, and turtles are all lined up. This time, how many more falconry trainers? On the shoulder stood Hai Dongqing, who was dressed in red and hung with colors.
The Japanese musician Yanagi and the Taile Department played drums on both sides. Dancers from the Ministry of Rites and Dancers? It is the "Great Joy" that has finally been restored.
On the square in front of the Kosei Palace? It was a courtier who stood in an orderly manner full of full-body dresses of more than five grades, and the bronze crane and copper turtle under the dan mounds also spit smoke. A newly made dew disk (cloud disk)? It's already standing tall. On the steps on the Danqi, there is also a watch case? On either side are the watch readers.
The whole palace? All immersed in the elegant and glorious drum music and solemn atmosphere? The scene was magnificent.
"Knock-knock-" The bells and drums in Gangneung Castle rang leisurely, solemnly.
The Ministry of Rites Qintian reported to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Honglu Temple, the auspicious time has arrived!
Immediately, Wu Zhenlou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Li, the great Honglu? Dressed together? stepped on the bell and entered the palace, and reported to Li Luo, who was already waiting in Longzhang Palace.
Li Luo's Tianzi gown is based on black brocade, which is customized by the Yizhou Shu Embroidery Workshop. According to the Son of Heaven's costume system, the Son of Heaven's uniform is embroidered with twelve patterns such as the sun, moon, stars, stars, dragons, mountains, fire, clouds, and flowers? Add moire to cover the knees, and white jade moire with a large belt.
The crown is 12 colorful silk and 12 jade algae before and after? The length is shoulder-length, and the jade and hosta are all white.
Majestic, solemn, mysterious, majestic.
Li Luo was dressed like this, and suddenly he was majestic and majestic, and a kind of supreme, ninety-five supreme and powerful momentum came to his face.
This black-based, gorgeous cold-toned gown, which reflects Li Luo's handsome and resolute face, and his upright posture, is really a dragon and phoenix, a watch of the sky.
And Cui Xiuning is a six-screen phoenix crown, twelve elements of colorful Zhai pattern robes, xia neon clothes and cloud patterns covering the knees, and big makeup all over the body, which is not only gorgeous, but also dignified and solemn.
The prince Li Zheng and other princes and daughters were also wearing customized small dresses. Especially Li Zheng, who is still wearing a crown of nine people, today he is going to be canonized as the crown prince.
"King Qiqi, the auspicious time has come, please order!"
"Sacrifice to heaven and earth, pray to God!" Li Luo ordered.
"Yes!" Wu Zhenlou and Li Qi received the decree together.
Immediately, Li Luo raised the cloud cover, and in the sound of ritual music, he led the ministers of civil and military affairs, the queen, the prince, and the princess out of the White Tiger Gate, sacrificed to heaven and earth, and held a prayer to heaven again.
ββ¦β¦ Chen Luo respectfully obeyed the order of Haotian, that is, the position of the Son of Heaven, the name of the emperor, and the name of the year Hongwu... Chenluo would like to tell you..."
After reading the text of the sacrifice to the sky, Li Luo went through the ceremony of "burying the crown and worshiping the sky" and "supporting the monarch and ministers" (carrying the throne) according to the procedure.
At the end of the day, Li Luo returned to Da Nei, and then went out of the Vermilion Bird Gate to go to the Yanhuang Emperor's Palace to worship Yanhuang.
Then, he went to the Tang Temple to worship the ancestors of the Li family.
Pray in front of the shrine of Li Yuan, Li Shizhen, Li Zhen, Li Dingguo, and Li Xiucheng.
Li Zheng and the others knelt down together.
Today, I have to posthumously seal a few ancestors.
Cui Xiuning, who was kneeling at the back, saw Li Luo praying meaningfully at the tablet of Li Shizhen and others, and tightened his face to prevent himself from showing a smile.
There is no way, she has never been able to enter the play on such an occasion. The honorable "ancestor" seemed to her to be really funny.
But the good thing about her is that she can hide.
After sacrificing to the ancestors, it is to "ascend to the throne" and accept the congratulations of the people and hundreds of officials, which is also the core part of the enthronement ceremony.
At this point, it's already noon. Li Luo's Yunyu came to the gate of the Guangzheng Hall and ascended the emperor's Sumeru throne in the eyes of the hundred officials.
Cui Xiuning sat on the left side of the throne according to the etiquette system. Li Zheng sat on the right side, his little face was nervous, but fortunately he didn't make a fool of himself.
Li Luo was sitting on the newly made treasure couch, his shoulders and back straight, his posture like a bell, and his crown was magnificent. He adjusted his breathing with his eyes level, and even the twelve colorful jade algae hanging in front of him did not shake.
But in his heart, his heart fluctuated, he was so excited that it was difficult to calm down.
Seven years after coming to this world, he finally became an emperor.
became the emperor of the entire south.
He is the Son of Heaven!
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, hundreds of millions of Li people, belong to him, the Hongwu Emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang, this is my respect for you. Hongwu is destined to become a great era name. It won't disappear because the world has changed.
Kublai Khan, you wait for me. Waiting for my army to go on a northern expedition and recover the Central Plains.
Wait, wait for my army to plow the court and sweep the caves, Yan Ran Le the monument.
Wait, wait for the white slaves and black slaves that I have prepared for your Mongol army.
I, Li Luo, not only want to dominate the world, but also to achieve unprecedented greatness, and open up a prosperous era in China! Let the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the civilization of China spread in the world! Let the Eastern world always trample the West under its feet.
I --- say ---!
Li Luo calmed down and saw the hundred officials outside the Guangzheng Palace, as well as the grand scene on the square outside the Qinglong Gate.
At this time, don't condense your eyes and look at a certain place, let alone move your eyes, but let your eyes diverge and be stunned, which will have a more mysterious majesty.
"Joy!" The ceremonial officer standing on the altar waved his hand and shouted.
The drum music of the Taile Department was immediately replaced by "Qingshan Le".
"Kneel-" The ceremonial officer's hand was raised again, and suddenly a silent whip sounded "pop".
The civil and military officials in brilliant costumes knelt down together and bowed three times.
At the same time, tens of thousands of people outside the Qinglong Gate also knelt down in black pressure, and the momentum was very huge.
"Mountain Call!"
"His Majesty the Emperor ascends the throne, long live, long live, long live!"
"Xing!"
"Kneelβ"
"Mountain Call!"
"His Majesty the Emperor ascends the throne, long live, long live, long live!"
Kneeling three times and knocking nine times, they shouted together for the last time: "His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne, long live, long live, long live!" β
There was also an earth-shattering shout outside the Qinglong Gate: "His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! β
Until this time, Li Luo was still not a real emperor.
"Wow! Wow! Hai Dongqing, who was extremely dressed in red and hung colors, flew into the sky with a long streamer and circled over the palace, like a colorful phoenix descending.
"After the ceremony, flat." Li Luo lightly spit out two words.
The ceremonial officer shouted: "Flat body-" As soon as the whip sounded, everyone shouted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" "Then we got up together, but we couldn't slap the dirt.
"Playing music!"
At this time, the music changed, the rhythm was bright, and everyone in the ministers of civil and military affairs danced and danced in place.
It's more like broadcast gymnastics than a dance, because it doesn't have the beauty of dance, it's simple, it's just neat.
"Hah!"
"Whew!"
The ministers of civil and military affairs raised their hands and feet, and their mouths shouted and danced to the rhythm of the music, celebrating the enthronement of their emperor.
However, the representatives from all over the country who participated in the ceremony outside the Qinglong Gate were very unfamiliar with this dance, and the dance was chaotic. However, this is not difficult for them, especially the Tubo, Miao, Yi and other spectators.
They simply ignore the prescribed dance moves, but dance their own dances, you dance yours, I dance mine, the types of dances are not the same, but they are all in harmony with the music, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
It's a real dance!
They danced harder and harder, and finally they started singing. I don't understand what they're singing, but it's singing at first glance.
In the entire Imperial City Square, the atmosphere was extremely warm.
The larger number of Han Chinese are completely confused, they can't dance or sing.
What's the matter?
That's embarrassing.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the dance music to stop.
"Please use the seal to issue an edict!" The ceremonial officer shouted, and immediately there were several drafted edicts, which were respectfully sent to Li Luo's case with the respect of the official.
The edicts are all written, and they are all Li Luo's meaning, but they are not sealed.
Issuing an edict with a seal is the last procedure.
"Fu Baolang!" The ceremonial officer drinks.
"In!" An official holding the jade seal stepped forward respectfully, gently put down the wooden box where the jade seal was placed, and knelt down to open the box at the same time.
Of course, such a precious thing as the heirloom jade seal will not be kept by Fu Baolang, but it will only be temporarily managed today.
The ministers were suddenly in higher spirits.
This is the heirloom jade seal!
Your Majesty sits in the Ming Hall and carries on the national seal, not a tabula rasa heaven!
Li Luo cautiously picked up the jade seal of the country, and the exhibition official immediately unfolded the edict and asked Li Luo to stamp the big seal one by one.
After many years, the jade seal of the country was finally used in the edict again.
Of course, Li Luo stipulated that the jade seal of the country should never be used lightly, except for the promulgation of major national edicts, the enthronement, and the canonization of the prince and the queen, it is not allowed to use the jade seal of the country casually, so as not to damage it.
After several edicts were stamped with the jade seal of the country, they were placed on the table on the dan pier and unfolded, and then the edict was read out by the watch reader.
Li Luo adopted the opening format of Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor! The edict said... The country name is Datang, Jiangling is the line, the year name is Hongwu, the Tang Dynasty is changed to six years, and Huaxia 3983 is the first year of Hongwu... Chin this! β
"Fengtian carries the emperor! The edict said: ... Am I unfilial? Respect the ancestor Shizhen as the Emperor Dezu, respect the great-ancestor as the Emperor Yizu, respect the grandfather as the Emperor Xizu, respect the father as the Emperor Renzu..."
"Fengtian carries the emperor! The edict said: ... Righteousness is thin and cloudy, and Deyang is high in the mountains... Respect your father-in-law and be the Emperor Taishang..."
"Fengtian carries the emperor! The edict said: ... In addition, my knot hair is enough to honor the world, and Cui Xiuning is the queen, the harem, and the queen's treasure seal..."
"Fengtian carries the emperor! Zhaoyun: ... Character is valuable, bright and intelligent, and long-term. Li Zheng, the eldest son of Nai Liyan, is the crown prince and is in the East Palace..."
ββ¦ Li Lu, the second son of the emperor, was the king of Wu and led the Youzhou pastor from afar. Li Yan, the third son of the emperor, was the king of Yue and led the Qingzhou pastor from afar. Feng eldest princess Li Yuan is the princess of Luoning, Yang Hanming is the captain of the horse, and the prince of the Dian Kingdom. Li Wei, the eldest daughter of the emperor, is the princess of Chang'an, and Li Wei, the second daughter of the emperor, is the princess of Xiangyang..."
ββ¦ Feng Wen Tianxiang is the prince of Luling County... Chen Shuzhen is the Hou of Lanxi County... The rest of the lords shall be promoted by one level. Officers and men in the army, except for this year's recruits, have all been promoted to one level..."
"Feng Dong Huchen is the Marquis of Donghu Township... Seal the hard work for the Phoenix Township..."
ββ¦ Zhang Ying, Liu Lai, Wan Yan Yi... Twenty-nine people are cloud cavalry captains... Wang Jie, Zhou Dalang... Eighteen people are the dragon forbidden captains..."
After reading the long list, basically those above the baron have been promoted to the first level. It turned out that Dong Huchen and other spies who were undercover in the Three Kingdoms also made up for the title, and even after hard work, they also got the title of Marquis of Phoenix Township.
A batch of lords has also been added: Captain Cloud Rider, Captain Dragon.
This brought the number of nobles of the Tang Kingdom to a hundred, and the number of lords to two hundred.
However, there are still very few titles at the rank of prince. Only Yang Hanming, because he was a concubine, donated his land to Tang and was crowned the Duke of Dianguo, Wen Tianxiang was named the Duke of the County, and Chen Yiji was awarded the Duke of Jinghai because of his special status.
It's only three males.
Originally, there was Xiao Yan, Liang Guogong, but it's a pity.
Of course, when the world is unified, there will definitely be several dukes at that time.
Everyone was happy.
Then there is the Edict of Pratt & Whitney. It was announced that all lieutenant officers and soldiers in the army would receive double salaries this season. Civil servants take turns to rest for three days. As for the people, only 80% of the tax will be paid this autumn.
Prisoners of war who have served two years of hard service are to be released as civilians.
The elderly who have reached the age of 70 will be rewarded with one yuan of pension silver...
However, there is no amnesty. Those who are imprisoned for crimes and are imprisoned for hard labor remain unchanged.
This Li Hongwu can be said to be one of the very few monarchs in the past who has ascended the throne without amnesty.
When the edict is finished, Li Luo's identity as the son of heaven will officially take effect.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Datang! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! The ministers and the people knelt down from the mountain and shouted.
"Flat!" Li Luo stood up, "Spread my will, and give a banquet to Xiande Palace tomorrow!" All the court and the wife of more than five grades go to the banquet! β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many of them.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the eighth day of August, it was sunny and windy.
I'm really tired today.
After the man's enthronement ceremony, he tossed for a whole day, and he couldn't move around when he sat there, because he wanted to be a mother in the world, and he had to pay attention to women's appearance. Today is the autumn tiger again, the clothes are thick, and the phoenix crown is heavy, mother!
It's sweating!
But to say that you are unhappy is nonsense.
Seven years ago, if someone had said to me, Cui Xiuning, you can be a queen in the future. I would definitely think he's insane.
I really didn't expect that I would become a queen. If only parents and classmates knew, the picture... It's really unimaginable.
Empress Cui, this title that is destined to become a historical term still feels very unreal to me.
It's been seven years, and Li Luo and I have finally come to this point. I've sweated a lot over the years, I haven't slept well, and I haven't even traveled once.
Even the heart can't maintain the kindness and sincerity of the original. For the sake of the overall situation, I had to do what I didn't want to do against my will.
Fortunately, all these efforts are worth it.
Everything has a price.
Today, Li Luo has become the emperor, I have become the queen, my father-in-law has become the emperor, and my children have become the prince, prince and princess.
It has become the most noble family.
However, you must keep your heart and remember your beginning. Cui Xiuning, do you know who you are? Don't become unaware of yourself just because you're a queen. Your heart can never be assimilated.
Cui Xiuning, your pride, your past, do not allow you to change beyond recognition.
I really hope that everyone will not change because of the change of identity. I hope that my children will love each other, I hope that Li Luo will always love me, and I hope that my father-in-law will be healthy.
If our relationship will change because of the emperor, I would rather not be the empress.
The ministers didn't dare to play Concubine Li Luo Na because of me. But I know very well that a lot of people want to do that. In particular, the courtiers who were born in the old literati wanted to let Concubine Li Luona under the pretext that the royal heirs were not prosperous, so as to facilitate the compilation of their own interest circles.
They don't dare now, but that doesn't mean they won't dare in the future.
Some people are hesitating. As soon as I show weakness, or as soon as my presence wanes, someone jumps out. Even, I know that someone has a daughter ready.
I'd rather leave the palace alone and go to the ends of the earth than share a man with a group of women, I feel disgusting when I think about it, I don't want to!
I can't tolerate emotional betrayal.
It's my scale, and it's an important part of my heart. If anyone who doesn't open his eyes dares to ask Concubine Li Luona to enrich the harem, then don't blame me.
Why do you get more upset the more you write? Forget it, don't write it. This diary can't be kept, it has to be burned.
Everything, all in good condition. This country, this home, all have to be good. Blessed by the old gentleman.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Cui Xiuning finished writing his diary, read it twice, and burned it.
If any minister saw the queen's diary, it was estimated that he would lend him a leopard gall, and he would not dare to play Concubine Li Luona.
Cui Xiuning finished feeding Li Yan and Li Xin, and came to the Taizheng Pavilion where Li Luo was located, and found that Li Luo was reading the recital alone.
"I simmered you a bowl of bird's nest and bamboo porridge." Cui Xiuning put the jade bowl beside Li Luo and looked at the recital in front of the man's case.
Li Luo took Cui Xiuning over and sat on his lap.
"Hey, don't let people see it......" Cui Xiuning hurriedly looked behind the bead curtain.
Li Luo smiled: "This room is not big, I don't think they need to be next to them, they don't dare to come in without permission." β
Cui Xiuning looked at Li Luo's eyes, grabbed his hand, and for some reason, suddenly suffered a little bit of gain and loss.
"Look, how many children have I had, are I out of shape? Let's be honest. Cui Xiuning's eyes were bright, and if Li Luo wanted to lie to her, it was impossible.
"No, I don't. I am most qualified to speak on this. Li Luofeng smiled lightly, "Your physical condition, even in the next life, is also first-class." And she never looks old, not at all like a twenty-nine-year-old woman. β
"Of course." Cui Xiuning knew that the man was not lying, "I won the trophy of college women's gymnastics." Female criminal police officers have high requirements for physical conditions. Let's put it this way, I can be a female pilot if I want to. β
The woman was a little smug.
Li Luo touched her hair, "Why are you worried again?" Have faith in me. β
Cui Xiuning smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you. But now you're a different person. The woman pointed outside, "Some people want to get lucky through nepotism." In this day and age, who can say they are wrong? β
"If you don't accept it, that's guilt, I'm jealous."
Li Luo thought about it for a while and felt that it was the same, "I will issue a holy decree tomorrow to gag their mouths first." That way it will save you trouble later. β
Cui Xiuning nodded, "That's all it can be." β
ps: Originally, it was added today, but today's chapter is too difficult to write, and it has to avoid being similar to the plot of the king's ceremony, so difficult, it has been revised for a long time, and a lot of effort has been wasted. Historical texts are really the most afraid to write about ancient etiquette. Crab support, good night!
Qingyi literature
