Yan Xiao became king for three years, in early March.

Ji Kang's father, King Ji Ming of filial piety, was buried in the royal tomb. According to the last wish of King Xiaocheng, Ji Ying, the mother of Ji Kang's eldest brother Ji Xi, was posthumously named "queen" and buried in the mausoleum, on the right side of King Xiaocheng's coffin.

On the left side of the coffin of King Yan Xiaocheng, there is a coffin.

Needless to say, this was left to Ji Kang's mother, Empress Dowager Yan Ji Zhao.

"Zhou Li" stipulates: Son of Heaven: five coffins, two coffins and seven coffins; Wang: Three coffins, two coffins and five coffins; Princes: two coffins, two coffins and four coffins; Qing: - coffin two coffins threefold; Scholar: one coffin, one coffin and two coffins; Shuren: a coffin without a coffin or without a coffin,

According to the edict of King Xiaocheng, his burial was extremely simple.

There was only a small amount of porcelain, a sword given to him by Ji Kang, a telescope, and a car for himself. And according to the new law of the Yan Kingdom, no living things are allowed in the burial goods, but other items that are burned or forged instead.

Gongzi Xi, who was far away in Wuyang City, was unable to return to Jidu because of the edict of King Xiaocheng. can only cry bitterly in his own house in Wuyang City, according to the new funeral law of Yan Kingdom, set up a sacrificial hall, and worship his father and mother remotely.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, it is auspicious.

Before dawn, Ji Kang was waiting for the attendants, bathing and changing clothes, and making all kinds of preparations.

There are a lot of things today, first to enter the temple with the spiritual seat of his father Ji Ming, and then to sacrifice to the sky.

In this way, it can be regarded as the official enthronement of King Yan.

In the early morning, in front of the Taimiao next to the Yanguo Ji Palace, the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

The civil and military officials of the entire Yan Kingdom court, as well as the clansmen of the royal family, all stood neatly in the square outside the Taimiao.

In front of him is Ji Kang, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom, who is about to ascend the throne.

Su Dai and Jiangqu, the ministers of the envoys to various countries, have returned to Jidu.

Su Dai and Jiang Qu were on the way back to Jidu, and after learning the news of the death of Yan Wang Ji Ming, they traveled day and night and rushed back overnight.

When the hour came, Prime Minister Su Dai came out and shouted loudly:

"The forty-two monarchs of my Yan country, known as filial piety, worship the ancestral temple, and enjoy the eternal sacrifice."

"Congratulations to me Yan Guo to become the king of filial piety!"

Ji Kang, who was standing in the forefront of the civil and military officials and the royal family, took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to me Yan Guo to become the king of filial piety!"

Behind Ji Kang, the civil and military officials and royal clansmen followed Ji Kang and bowed down and shouted together.

Zongzheng Ji Ming held the spiritual seat of King Yan Xiaocheng and walked into the temple dedicated to the kings of Yan Kingdom.

Ji Kang followed closely with hundreds of civil and military officials and royal family relatives.

Ji Ming placed the spirit card of King Xiaocheng and retreated behind Ji Kang.

Ji Kang knelt down with hundreds of civil and military officials and royal family members.

After the bow, Ji Kang stood up and looked at the spiritual thrones of the kings of the Yan Kingdom, and his eyes became more and more calm.

According to the system, in the temple, Ji Kang should wear a crown, wear the sword of the king, and receive the seal of King Yan under the witness of the previous kings, so as to complete his official transformation to the identity of King Yan.

Su Dai presided over today's ceremony, came out and shouted: "The new king is wearing a crown and a crown." ”

In the gold plate brought by the attendants, Ji Kang put on the crown of Jiuhan and wore a crown of nine chapters, that is, the five chapters of the dragon, the mountain, the Chinese worm, the fire, and the Zongyi; Embroidered algae, pink rice, 黼, 黻 four chapter patterns, a total of nine chapters.

After dressing, Ji Kang stepped forward to insert incense and prayed to the spirit tablets of the kings of the Yan Kingdom:

"The ancestors of the past dynasties, the descendants of the Ji family, Kang, were enthroned as the forty-third monarch of my Yan Kingdom. Ji Kang will do his best to fulfill the last wishes of the previous kings, so that my Ji clan will reunify the ......."

The incense lingers for a long time.

After that, it is time to go to the altar in the southern suburbs to worship the heavens.

Ji Kang rode in a car and marched from the Taimiao Temple to the altar in the southern suburbs.

Along the way, the bells are clear, and the singing is beautiful.

Next to Ji Kang's car, the "dragon yi" representing Ji Kang's throne status fluttered in the wind.

The difference between the Son of Heaven and the princes is that the Son of Heaven has the sun and the moon while the princes do not.

"Zhou Li, Chunguan, Zongbo": "The sun and the moon are constant, and the dragon is the same." Youyun: "The Son of Heaven rides the dragon, carrying the great dragon, like the sun and the moon, the rising dragon, and the descending dragon...... Wang's five roads: one is said to be jade, twin, Fan Ying ten have re-establishment, build Dachang, ten have two slashes, to worship; Jin Lu, hook, Fan Yingjiu, Jian Dayi, Yibin, the same surname to seal ......"

Tian Guang, Han Fei, and Ju Wu led thousands of palace guards, surrounded by Ji Kang's chariot, and walked solemnly.

Along the way, the soldiers raised their heads and stood in order, making guards.

The people of Jidu knelt on both sides of the street and kowtowed to pay homage to Ji Kang, the new king of their Yan Kingdom.

As the car moved forward, tens of thousands of people on both sides of the road unanimously let out a tsunami-like shout:

"My king has no end in life! There is no end to it! ”

"My king has no end in life! There is no end to it! ”

……

Ji Kang, who was in the car, watched all this and listened to all this.

Although he is a human being in two lives, he can't help but feel surging in his heart!

These are my subjects! These are my people!

It has been a full eighteen years since I came to this era. It's really not easy! Pacify bandits and bandits, reclaim acres, build roads and canals, develop industries, build schools, and expand territory and .......

In the past 18 years, I have finally come to this point today, enjoying the cheers and worship of all the people and even tens of millions of people!

Ji Kang was in the car, thinking of his past life for a while, and thinking of everything he had done in this life.

I suddenly came to my senses.

In my past life and in this life, I am who I am.

I, Ji Kang, will always be a part of Huaxia, and when I come to this era, I must fulfill my mission and responsibility!

My responsibility is to protect China and bring more civilized and advanced things to China.

I want to put an end to the troubled times in China and restore prosperity and peace on the land of China.

He must lead the people of China to resist the invasion of foreign invaders, and take the Great Wall as a starting point to plant the banner of China farther.

Mountains descend and valleys rise, but their ambitions never change.

Thinking of this, Ji Kang's face couldn't help but flush.

It wasn't until the car stopped that Ji Kang realized that he had come to the altar of worship.

After getting out of the car, he found that all the civil and military officials were kneeling under the altar and waiting for him.

Ji Kang smiled with his eyes in his eyes, and said to the civil and military officials: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Prime Minister Su Dai came out again and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, play music." ”

Under the altar, Gao gradually left the conductor of the orchestra, and as soon as he opened his arms, he burst into music.

The chimes are solemn, the big Lu is agitated, and the sheng flute is beautiful.

An official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of worshipping the heavens stepped forward and led Ji Kang in front.

Under the guidance of this ceremonial official, Ji Kang climbed the high platform step by step.

The rites of the king's sacrifice to heaven and the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven are basically the same.

The "Zhou Li" stipulates: "The Son of Heaven and the king sacrifice to the sky, and the princes sacrifice to the earth". Generally, the Son of Heaven or the King is outside of the ceremony of worshiping the heavens when he ascends the throne; In addition, in the winter of October every year, another sacrifice is carried out to the heavens, hoping to receive the blessings of the heavens.

After Ji Kang came to the high platform, he completed various rituals to worship the sky.

How to say it! In total, from the middle platform to the upper platform, Ji Kang went back and forth nineteen times, knelt thirty-one times, and kowtowed sixty-six times. In this way, the various rituals of worshipping the heavens were completed.

Looking at the Haotian Emperor in front of him, the gods, and even the gods of the kings of the Yan Kingdom.

In the solemn vocal music, Ji Kang prayed to the heavens:

"The minister Ji Kang respectfully plays to the heavens: Today, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, my Zhou Ji surname is weak, the princes are strife, the people are not happy, and the people of the world all expect to be reunited under the Holy Lord."

"The minister Ji Kang ascended the throne as the king of Yan with a small body. I wish to inherit the virtue of good life in heaven and inherit the long-cherished wish of the people of the four seas. We must work diligently night and night, seek the country's livelihood and livelihood, eradicate tyranny, dominate the world, and rejuvenate our China. ”

This is the heartfelt words of the minister Ji Kang, and Ji Kang's will will remain unchanged in his life. Hao Hao to the sky, please see the hearts of the ministers. ”

As Ji Kang's prayer was finished, the pillar of smoke lit by the sacrifice on the high platform soared into the sky.

The white clouds in the sky gradually turned into a red phoenix bird, and the people of Jidu seemed to hear a crisp phoenix chirp.

A fresh breeze came, the grass on the ground began to turn green, and thousands of flowers spit fragrant.

This change in the weather made all the officials and people of Jidu in awe.

Ge Xiangju Xin fell to his knees at once, with tears on his face, and said loudly:

"Tianxing, my Dayan, the destiny of heaven is in my Yan country!"

"My king has no time to live! There is no end to it! ”

With Ji Xin's shout, all the officials and people watching the ceremony around the altar knelt on the ground together.

Facing the figure of the young king on the high platform, he shouted in unison:

"My king has no time to live! There is no end to it! ”

"My Yan country has no end in life! There is no end to it! ”

……

Yan Xiaocheng became king for three years, on the sixth day of the third month.

Ji Kang, the forty-third king of the Yan Kingdom, officially ascended the throne as the king of Yan.

When worshipping the sky, auspicious clouds descend from the sky.
