The Young Prince Chapter 34 The New Emperor Succeeds to the Throne
Before Liu Qi could react, all the ministers kneeling on the ground got up and paid homage to the new monarch headed by Prime Minister Shen Tujia.
Shentu Jia said: "The old minister begs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to follow the edict of the first emperor and quickly ascend the throne to succeed the emperor."
A group of courtiers also knelt down with the prime minister and said: "I implore you to ascend the throne quickly, go up to the temple, and settle the people of the world."
Dou Yifang, who was crying on the side, also spoke: "Confessor, don't change clothes for the Son of Heaven soon."
The confessor hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Qi and went to the Taishi Palace.
In the Taishi Palace, a group of attendants who had been waiting for a long time rushed up to change into the brand-new emperor's clothes that had been prepared for the new emperor Liu Qi, and another confessor took out a sword and tied it around his waist
At this time, Liu Qi finally recovered from his grief, and when Liu Qi sat down, Wang Yan held a plate in his hand and presented it to Liu Qi, "Your Majesty, this is the jade seal of the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Talisman of the Son of Heaven, and it is presented to Your Majesty today!" ”。
Without waiting for Liu Qi's words, Wang Yan held the jade seal in his hand and handed it to the new emperor.
At this time, Wang Yan shouted: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and all the ministers congratulate him."
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shen Tujia, the hundred officials knelt down and bowed and shouted: "The ministers will see Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be ten thousand years."
Looking at the ministers kneeling in the hall, Liu Qi's heart was still a little throbbing at this time, at this time he was no longer the prince, but the emperor who ruled the territory of the Han Empire, was ordered by the sky, and ruled the people on behalf of the sky, as if the world was under control......
Liu Qi opened his mouth and said: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, I obey the edict of the first emperor to succeed to the throne, the first emperor has been conscientious all his life, and when he is dying, he has not forgotten the people of the world, I feel ashamed, and I will follow the instructions of the first emperor to seek benefits for the subjects of the world, so as to tell the spirit of the first emperor in the sky."
He also said: "Tomorrow, I will leave for Chang'an, where is the prime minister?" ”。
Shen Tujia stepped forward and said, "The minister is here."
"The coffin of the first emperor was properly arranged by the prime minister and transported back to Chang'an."
…………………………………………………………
At dusk, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, the queen mother Dou Yifang, and all the ministers knelt in front of Emperor Wen's coffin, Liu Rong, as the prince, of course, was also in this list, the Empress Dowager Dou cried several times and almost fainted, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, had to order the palace maid to support her mother to rest in the hall on only one side.
Late at night, Liu Rong looked at his grandfather's coffin in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that it was true, Liu Rong said to himself: "Relatives have traveled to immortals, and they have not presented their children and grandchildren." The wandering soul is thousands of miles, how to think about it. Relatives are gone, and the blessings of children and grandchildren have not been touched. Thousands of miles away, thinking thousands of degrees. Relatives have traveled to the immortal, and have not gathered their children and grandchildren. Wandering souls play for a thousand miles, how to think about sorrow".
At this time, Liu Rong really understood the true meaning of Han Ying's poem..................
The next day, the Son of Heaven set off, and all the courtiers and nobles wore filial piety robes to escort the coffin of the first emperor into Beijing.
After returning to the capital, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, immediately issued an edict to spread the edict of the first emperor to the whole country, and for a time the whole country mourned, and the people in many places spontaneously went out of their homes to worship in the direction of Chang'an, mourning the death of the Holy Son of Heaven......
Of course, some people are grateful to the Son of Heaven, and naturally there are people who hate it, and the reactions of the princes and kings in various places are also different, and the reactions of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and Liu An, the king of Huainan, are not sad, but happy......
Looking at the tablet in front of him, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, said: "My son, Liu Heng's old son is dead, you can rest assured, my father will definitely enter Chang'an, and personally cut off Liu Qi's head to pay tribute to your spirit in the sky."
At this time in Huainan Kingdom, Liu An, the king of Huainan, also knelt in front of the tablet and said, "Father, Liu Heng, who killed you, has died, I hope you can rest in peace", and choked and cried and kowtowed to the tablet.
In the early morning of the next day, it was the first great court meeting of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi who ascended the throne and called the emperor, all the ministers in Beijing arrived, and when all the ministers came to the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, wore a crown robe, wore a crown of twelve crowns, and entered the hall under the guidance of a group of attendants, kneeling before the bookcase, the ministers immediately saluted and said: "The ministers meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years."
The crown dress is not a major ceremony, and the emperor will never wear it. According to "Zhou Li, Chun Guan, Si Fu": "Wang Zhiji's clothes: worship Haotian God, then serve the big Qiu and crown, and worship the five emperors as well; The first king is crowned; Enjoy the first public meal to shoot the crown; Worship the mountains and rivers in four directions, and the crown; The five rituals of the sacrificial shrine are crowned; The sacrifice group is a small ritual.
The shoulders of the robe are woven with sun, moon and dragon patterns; Weaving stars and mountain patterns on the back; The sleeves are woven with fire, Chinese insects, and Zongyi patterns. There are two algae, two powdered rice, two yellow, and two yellow. The so-called "12 coats of arms" pattern. In addition, there are mid laners and knee covers. Weave algae, powdered rice, yellow, and black grain. In addition, there are yellow, white, red, Xuan, ethereal, green six-colored ribbons and small ribbons, jade hooks, jade pendants, gold hooks, jade rings and red socks, and swords.
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "I heard that the ancestors of the ancients were meritorious and virtuous, and there were reasons for making rituals and music. singers, so fa de also; Dancers, so Ming Gong also. High temple drinking, playing the dance of "Wude", "Wenshi" and "Five Elements".
Filial piety temple drinking, playing the dance of "Wenshi" and "Five Elements".
The first emperor came to the world, cleared the beam, and was not far away; Except slander, remove corporal punishment, reward elders, and accept loneliness, so that the masses may live; reduce the desires of the elderly, do not sacrifice, do not pay for sinners, do not condemn sins, do not selfish interests; In addition to the palace punishment, out of the beauty, the world of the rejuvenated.
I am not sensitive, but I can understand. This is beyond the reach of the previous life, and the first emperor himself did it. Dehou is the world, and the four seas are blessed. However, what is the number of the temple of the first emperor today? I hope that the secretary will speak.
When the ministers heard this, of course, they knew that the Son of Heaven was going to set the temple number for Emperor Daxing.
Prime Minister Chenjia stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty will always think of filial piety, and the dance of "Zhaode" will be the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, which is beyond the reach of Chenjia and other fools. The ministers discussed: The merit of the world is greater than that of Emperor Gao, and the prosperity of Demo is greater than that of the first emperor. The name of the first emperor should be called 'Wen', and the temple name is Taizong.
The temple of Emperor Gao should be the temple of the emperor Taizu, and the temple of the first emperor should be the temple of the emperor Taizong. The Son of Heaven is dedicated to the temple of his ancestors. The princes of the county should each build the temple of Taizong for Emperor Xiaowen. The temple of the ancestors dedicated by the princes, kings, princes, envoys, and the Son of Heaven".
When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard the advice of the prime minister, they felt that it was appropriate, and they were all good.
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, heard the meaning of Prime Minister Shen Tujia, and said: "What the prime minister said is very good, the first emperor's name should be 'filial piety', and the temple name should be 'Taizong'."
Then, he said: "The most important thing today is the funeral of Emperor Xiaowen, the funeral of the first emperor, how can he not obey it as a son, Ba Lingwei, how is the mausoleum of the first emperor now?" ”。
"Back to Your Majesty, the first emperor took the mountain of Baling as a mausoleum, and he wanted to bury it thinly, which has already been repaired properly."
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, heard that he was very good, and ordered Prime Minister Shen Tujia to be the funeral official to deal with the funeral of Emperor Xianxiaowen.
And ordered the Taibu who was in charge of the law of yin and yang divination, and calculated the auspicious day through the divination of the yarrow turtle, and then went to the Taimiao to play the high emperor and the gods of heaven and earth, and was the temple number of the first emperor.
After one day, after the calculation of Taibu, the Son of Heaven is played, and after five days is an auspicious day.
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, immediately adopted it and ordered Taichang to prepare for this matter.
On the same day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the wind was light and refreshing, Liu Qi wore a crown and crown, and led a hundred officials to the temple of the high emperor, under the attention of the hundred officials, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, stepped step by step on the imperial steps in front of the temple of the high emperor.
Walk to the high temple, lead hundreds of officials to kneel in front of the throne of Emperor Gao, burn incense and pray, and say: "Liu Qi, the descendant of the unscrupulous, presents the last order of the first emperor, attacks the throne of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and now follows the queen of the first emperor, as the queen mother, and reports to His Majesty the Emperor Gao in the Taimiao."
Then he knelt three times and bowed nine times to the god's throne, and Tai often got up to the side and said, "Licheng!" ”。
I saw that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said again: "Emperor Taizu Gao is above, the descendants of Liu Qi are invited to play, and the scriptures and military officials are discussed.
Then it is a kowtow again, and then the Tao is completed again, and today's temple is the end, and then the temple music is ordered to be the temple music of the Emperor Xiaowen......
…………………………………………………………………
Emperor funeral, is a major event of the country, Emperor Wen first edict the princes of the world, so that they to Chang'an to participate in the funeral of Emperor Xiaowen, the princes of the world such as Chu, Liang, Huainan, Qi and so on are all coming, not out of the surprise of everyone in the court, Wu King Liu Wei only ordered an envoy to come to the court, to the Son of Heaven to present a sparse, said that King Wu is seriously ill, this to Chang'an is far away, and more to travel between mountains and rivers, inconvenient to come, hope that the Son of Heaven forgiveness.
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at the music in his hand, of course, he was furious in his heart, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face, but said to the envoy of Wu: "King Wu is old, it is inconvenient to come here, I do not blame, and King Wu is my uncle, I will give King Wu a few rods, which will be brought back by the envoy, and King Wu will not have to come to the court after that."
When Liu Qi, the son of heaven, saw Liu Bi like this, of course, he was angry, and said in his heart: Liu Bi doesn't want to see me, how can I want to see him! In this way, there is a few rods, and there is no need to come to the court.
A few rods, that is, a few and a cane, are used by the elderly. "The Book of Rites: Qu Lishang": "If you seek the elderly, you must use a few rods to follow it."
When the kings came to Chang'an, they all wore filial piety robes and knelt down to worship the coffin of the first emperor in Weiyang Palace.
As soon as Liu Wu, the king of Liang, entered the palace and saw his father's coffin, he immediately knelt on the ground and wept loudly, saying, "Father! It is the son who is not filial, the father is in danger, but the son is not allowed to see Liang Guo in the depths, and the father forgives the sins."
The words fell, and kept kowtowing to apologize, the Empress Dowager Dou naturally heard that it was her baby son Liu Wu of Liang, who arrived, at this time Dou Yifang had lost his vision due to eye disease, and the Empress Dowager Dou said: "Ah Wu, but Ah Wu came."
When Liu Wu heard his mother's words, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's the son who is here."
Empress Dowager Dou hugged Liu Wu in front of her and cried bitterly, Empress Dowager Dou said: "My son is finally here, now that your father is gone, only you and Your Majesty are left to rely on ...... mother."
For the funeral of the emperor, there must be three types of mourners: one is the clan, that is, the queen, the nobleman, the princess, the crown prince, and the prince; the second is the kings in Beijing, the princes of the clan, the women of the clan, and the four marquis; The three categories are among the hundred officials and liehous, that is, the three dukes, the middle two thousand stones, the liehous, the two thousand stones, the six hundred stones, and the doctors. Because of the closeness of the hanger and the crash and the high rank of the knighthood and official rank, the funeral official entered the hall of Weiyang Palace, and determined the position and direction of his crying......
Liu Rong's mother Li Ji, as well as the wives and concubines of many princes of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi are also naturally here, Liu Rong is a prince, but he has not been crowned king, so he is not in the forefront, so he has to bow down after the kings.
Looking at the hall, a group of courtiers and nobles wearing filial piety robes and filial piety cloths were crying bitterly, Liu Rong was even more sad......
At this time, Liu Rong had to hold back the grief in his heart, and began to think that his grandfather Emperor Xiaowen, who was very fond of him, had passed away, and his biggest reliance was gone, so he must find another way out.
Thinking of this, Liu Rongxin said: "Sure enough, it depends on the sky and the earth, it is better to rely on yourself."
Of course, Liu Rong didn't want to be like Empress Bo, the son of heaven in history, Liu Qizhi, who relied on the death of Empress Dowager Bo and had to fall himself......
