In the past ten days, the envoys who came to Jinyang have come into contact with many new things and have exchanged ideas with each other. But what happened to the enthronement ceremony, everyone was blind.

It is said that it is not in the city, but outside the city, and that area is controlled by military affairs, and people are not allowed to approach.

There is a palace in Jinyang, which has also been repaired during this time, and it is no problem as a palace, but it is still shabby as a palace that can be used. Liu Tao simply used the palace as an office place, and the current mansion is used as a place to live.

This is definitely not in line with etiquette, but with the current situation in the palace, everyone can only settle it first.

The palace is like this, not to mention the square needed to hold a military parade, there is no suitable place at all, and it is not easy to demolish and build indiscriminately, so you can only choose to do it outside the city. Otherwise, there is no need to hold the enthronement ceremony after the year.

In fact, Xun Yu was still against it at first, the temporary venue was not solemn enough, and it would also make the ceremony look simple. There is no need to deliberately do it for the so-called military parade, and waste manpower and financial resources.

"Don't always say anything about etiquette and etiquette!" Liu Tao finally replied, "There are our friends who came to participate in the ceremony this time, but there are also more enemies who covet us. There is no way to talk about etiquette with the enemy, only by showing our force can our enemies feel jealous, and then correct their attitude towards us! ”

In fact, he really wants to complain, the manpower and financial resources consumed are what Xun Yu cares about the most, right?

"It's just that in this way, they are too afraid of us, and they will probably join forces." Xun Yu said bitterly, back then, the pre-Qin was too strong, so that the six countries had to jointly crusade many times.

"We are not pre-Qin, a group of elm pimples, who do not know how to adapt measures to local conditions and keep pace with the times. Besides, the current situation in China is also different from the period when the Seven Kingdoms were established side by side. The experience of the pre-Qin can only be used as a reference, not as a law. Liu Tao reminded.

At present, many of the vassal kings are supported by the people below. In this case, those who can wait will wait for these kings to become emperors, and then play Zen to make themselves more justifiable. If they can't wait, they will directly usurp the throne, establish a new regime, and then recover those disobedient courtiers.

To put it simply, in the next few years, deducting the states on his side, it is estimated that there will be chaos. This gave him enough time to recuperate, and he could even take the opportunity to knock Yizhou down.

"We don't just want to deter the vassal kings outside...... Liu Tao then patiently explained, "Generally speaking, just by occupying the land of the three states and becoming emperor, the people will be a little worried, just as you will worry that they will unite to attack us." ”

Although most people are only concerned about whether they can survive 'today', with the spread of night schools and colleges, more and more people are beginning to care about current affairs and politics.

After all, I have thought that I may become an official one day, and a favorable and stable working environment is very important.

After a pause, he continued: "We need to show our military and show them that we have the ability to protect them and allow us to live and work in a safe and stable environment. As long as our soldiers are not killed, then it will never be their turn to go to battle! ”

"I see, the military parade still has such a significance......" Xun Yu didn't think about this, maybe like many scholars, he generally doesn't care too much about the mood of the people.

Generally speaking, as long as the politics are clear and there are no major disasters, the people themselves will be content with their duties, do whatever they do, and work hard to survive, and there is no need for those in power to worry.

Therefore, in the education of scholars, there may not be any discussion about how to take care of the people's feelings or understand their needs. In the case of 'state pastoral', the shepherd side, that is, the emperor is the employer, they are the herdsmen, and the people of the world are the cattle and sheep they manage.

I don't know if this is a side reflection that officials in the feudal era really didn't treat ordinary people as human beings.

After all, buying and selling households, forcing bankrupt people to sell themselves, and even wantonly killing family slaves and maids or something are considered normal. A person can be a human being, but a person who has signed a deed of sale is not a human being, so someone suddenly becomes human overnight......

If you think about it carefully, the title of 'common people' was originally a scholar class, and ordinary Li Shu didn't even have a surname. In the case of the pre-Qin period, ordinary people who did not have a title were not ordinary people, and were called Qianshou.

Liu Tao can't change this situation immediately, but he can subtly promote this concept. There are also side effects, that is, the people below are smarter, then they will start to have requirements, no longer stick to 'living in the present', and start to 'look forward to the future'.

But the ambitious people, he doesn't hate it, it's just to draw a bigger pie, and then give them more hope, and let them chase that hope......

Xun Yu was persuaded by him, so he naturally obediently arranged the enthronement ceremony. During this period, Lu Zhi and others also came over, mainly to inquire about the ceremony. They are all qualified to look at it, but the results of the inspection feel that the scale is a bit rudimentary.

After that, it took a lot of persuasion to make them accept the result.

The older generation always feels that they must conform to the etiquette together, otherwise it is not orthodox enough. In addition, the number of etiquette is insufficient, and it is estimated that they will be ridiculed by others, and it is just that they are not there, and they can't deal with this problem here, and they have no shame.

However, for Liu Tao, simple is better, he has seen a full set of etiquette, and if he really wants to set it down, it is estimated that most of the time is not enough. It is much more troublesome than when I was newly married and became a groom.

In the end, he removed some of the rituals, and then left the necessary ones, and cut the time down to an hour, almost to the limit, and it is not surprising that it attracted criticism.

"Enthronement ceremony, start ~~~~~~~" Seeing that the day of the ceremony came, everyone came to the venue, and I don't know why, a large open space was enclosed here, at least about a mile.

Fortunately, the city wall was open, and the people could climb the city wall to watch, and from there they could see the scene of the ceremony.

At the same time, some high platforms are also prepared, which can allow more people to watch close to the scene. Hundreds of thousands of people came together, and the scene was still very spectacular.

After the master of ceremonies announced, among the city gates, Liu Tao wore a dragon robe, rode a horse, and began to appear under the escort of the brocade guards.

The Jinyi guard was divided into five hundred horsemen and one thousand foot soldiers, and slowly walked out. They were wearing flying fish robes, holding embroidered spring knives, and the cavalry was even more powerful with a bow across their waists, looking majestic!

"Not the Yulin Army?" Many people, especially the envoys, quickly saw the clues.

"This is a pro-army formed by Liu Tao, called Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to the Yulin Army...... Depending on the situation, the Yulin Army may be abolished. Someone probably knew something, so he whispered.

"But this brocade guard, compared to Yu Linwei, is not much better!" Another messenger beside him sighed.

"This pro-army is indeed very powerful, look at those cavalry, they are all sharpshooters!" The companion next to him reminded.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Tao came to the altar that had been prepared. At this moment, he has not yet put on the crown, and it is obvious that he will not be crowned emperor until the ceremony is completed.

Originally, the enthronement ceremony was held by the new emperor about a month after the death of the first emperor, and the auspicious time of the election was held. Strictly speaking, the first emperor died, and the crown prince automatically became the new emperor, and the enthronement ceremony only made everything legitimate.

It's just that now that the first emperor of the Han Dynasty has died, it seems that it has been almost a year, but the two princes have died in a short time, and the Ling Emperor family has no heirs to inherit, which is also the beginning of turmoil.

At present, there are nine Han clans in the world who are called kings, and Liu Tao has not been called kings before, and everyone thinks that he will do so soon. Who knew that this guy would skip this step and call himself emperor directly......

For a while, he didn't react, so he couldn't deal with it, so he could only silently watch him hold the ceremony.

But it's nothing, it doesn't matter if you are the emperor, whether you can sit on the throne or not is another matter. You can be emperor, but we can also not recognize you as the throne. As for sending an envoy, it's just a matter of coming and seeing, but admit it or not, it's still up to us!

At this moment, Lu Zhi, who made too frequent cameos, came forward and reluctantly took out the sacrificial text and handed it to Liu Tao.

The recitation and burning of the sacrificial texts is mainly to announce to the ancestors and the gods that they will be crowned emperors. I pray for the recognition of our ancestors and ancestors, and hope that they will bless this regime as they have done in the past.

This thing is not superstition, it can only be said to be a kind of faith, just like we will worship our ancestors, it is not a superstitious activity, but a continuation of the belief of the ancestors. Just as we will worship the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Nuwa, Houtu, etc.

At the same time, this is also to highlight filial piety, in fact, sacrificing ancestors is more for future generations to see. After the death of the ancestors, we still have to respect and commemorate, but what about the parents who are still alive? My own generation is like this, and the next generation who have been affected by this since childhood will naturally have a more intuitive understanding of filial piety.

He is not filial to himself, but he asks his children to be unconditionally filial to him...... Is there not a trace of reason for the disobedience of children in themselves? After all, parents themselves are the first teachers of their children!

Liu Tao knew this, so he didn't dislike this, just prayed silently, and then put the sacrifice in the brazier and burned it.

There are no visions in the sky, in fact, the visions are all in the history books, and it doesn't really matter if it's really or not. Perhaps a few years later, in the history books recorded by later generations, he registered that on this day, there were nine dragons to worship, colorful auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and fairy music sounded......

The messenger sent by the Nine Kings is naturally the Nine Dragons Pilgrimage; As for whether there is a cloud or not, it is difficult to say whether it is colorful, white and gray are two colors, at most black is added, and he does not know which two colors the rest are; Xianle, isn't it strange that there are musicians playing music on the spot?!

Yes, the truth of history may really be so cheating.

After some ceremonies, including some exhortation from Zong Zheng (Liu Yuanqi), he personally put on a crown for Liu Tao. Since then, Liu Tao has been officially crowned emperor and become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Please Jade Seal!" This simplified hall, many people thought it was going to end, but they didn't expect the master of ceremonies to shout at this time.

A waiter took out a brocade box and opened it in front of Liu Tao. The latter put his hand in, took out a piece of jade, and held it high: "By chance, I (to change my name) got this heirloom jade seal." Today's enthronement ceremony will be officially announced to the public! ”

"Wow!" Many people suddenly exclaimed, it is rumored that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the jade seal of the heirloom that has disappeared will actually appear here, doesn't this mean, doesn't it mean that Liu Tao succeeded to the throne and was destined to return? !
