Seven hundred and eighty-three The birth of an empire
After the edict was read, what Liu Jian wanted to do had already been done.
The next highlight belongs to Guo someone.
Guo quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Jian, shouting no, Liu Jian stood up and walked in front of Guo according to the previous rehearsal, and asked Guo to stand up and accept his own Zen concession.
Guo didn't stand up, and said loudly, Liu Jian asked him to get up again, Guo Peng refused again, Liu Jian asked him to get up for the third time, accepted Zen Rang, and directly got started and helped Guo up.
Guo saw that he could no longer refuse, so he had to accept Emperor Liu Jian's concession with tears in his eyes and take over the throne.
Cheng Yu was excited, and presented the two edicts to Guo with trembling hands, Guo bowed down to accept it, took it with both hands, and expressed his gratitude to the Han Emperor Liu Jian for the last time.
Liu Jian encouraged Guo, and then with a wave of his hand, two teams of chamberlains appeared in the main hall.
The first team was responsible for taking off the emperor's crown dress for Liu Jian and changing into the courtier's crown dress, and the other team was for Guo to take off the courtier's crown dress and put on the emperor's crown dress.
The two teams operated together, and looking at the skillful appearance, I knew that it was definitely not the first time to operate like this.
Of course, no one will stupidly stand up and ask them - why are you so skilled?
They skillfully dragged off the emperor's crown dress for Liu Jian and replaced it with the crown dress used by the courtiers - the system was similar to the one used by Guo when he was crowned the prince, but the color was different.
Guo was also skillfully taken off by them and put on the emperor's crown robe, the style is not different from Liu Jian's, and the color is different.
Liu Jian's crown dress is red as the heavy color, while Guo Mouren's crown dress is yellow as the heavy color.
Han Shang Huode, known as the Yan Han, and the Wei Dynasty Han, according to the Five Elements always said, should be the soil virtue, so the color of the land is the national color.
After putting on the crown clothes, Liu Jian handed over the seven jade seals of the six seals of the Son of Heaven and the jade seal of the heirloom country that he owned, as well as the tiger talisman for troop transfer.
After Guo took the seven jade seals and the tiger talisman of the troops, it symbolized the completion of the transfer of imperial power.
So Guo and Liu Jian exchanged positions in a timely manner.
Guo stepped on the stairs and stood on the high platform occupied by the emperor, and then walked to the edge of the imperial throne where Liu Jian was sitting, looked at this unusual imperial throne, took a deep breath, stepped forward, turned around, lifted the forward swing, bent his knees forward, and knelt on the throne.
Then he spread his hands, waved his sleeves, and then withdrew his hands, put them on his thighs, and sat upright.
Guo Peng, the emperor of the Great Wei Empire, is seated!
At this moment, Guo Jin had quietly stood at the head of the queue of ministers, waiting for the seal.
Cheng Yu, as a ceremonial official, also stood at the foot of the steps, and knelt down to the new emperor Guo Peng together with Liu Jian, Guo Jin and the ministers.
"Minister, meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The ministers shouted in unison, and all of them knelt on the ground, expressing their submission and loyalty to the new emperor.
The sound traveled from inside the main hall to outside the main hall, and from outside the main hall back into the main hall.
The hall can accommodate all the top high-ranking officials, and the rest of the officials can only stay outside the hall, waiting for the birth of a new dynasty in the cold wind.
It's kind of bitter for them.
Finally, they waited for this moment, so they knelt down with the people in front of them, and then shouted in unison Banzai, offering blessings and loyalty to the new emperor.
Outside the temple, drums and trumpets sounded again, signaling the establishment of a new nation.
Watching such a scene and hearing the voice of surrender, Guo Peng's heart was full of emotion.
The rehearsal has been rehearsed many times, and this son has also sat many times, but seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Guo Peng still couldn't help but get excited.
He now understands what Liu Bang felt when he ascended the throne as emperor.
Today, I know what it's like to be an emperor.
There is still a big difference between the actual emperor and the real emperor, righteousness plus power, that is, the emperor who can sit in front of the public and accept worship.
At this moment, the new dynasty was established and the old dynasty ended.
The Wei Empire was born, and the Han Empire came to an end.
The Han Empire died and went into the ground safely.
Guo Peng felt the majesty of being the emperor, then sorted out his mood and raised his hands.
"Zhongqing is flat."
He announced in a deep and magnetic voice.
The ministers shouted "Your Majesty Xie", and then stood up one after another, and then the civil and military officials were divided into two sides, the civil official on the left and the military attache on the right, and they all returned to the back of their seats, and knelt on the cushions that belonged to them.
Silence, eyes not squinting, the whole hall was silent.
The ministers outside the hall also got their own cushions and sat down one after another, so as to relieve the soreness of their legs.
Then, in order to take care of these courtiers who were blowing cold wind outside the hall and show the human touch of the new dynasty, Guo Peng specially instructed the attendants to send a bowl of hot ginger soup to the ministers outside the palace, so that they could warm up their bodies and not be frozen.
The ministers outside the hall got the ginger soup, and they were all grateful, and expressed their gratitude to the new emperor Guo Peng outside the hall.
With the thanks out of the way, it's time to get to the point.
The proclamation of the founding program, the changes that need to be made, and the awards.
This is what the founding emperor must do, a summary of the old dynasty, the expectation of the new dynasty, and a reward for meritorious heroes.
Guo Peng already had a comprehensive arrangement for these things before becoming emperor.
He wanted to make a major change and make a big change to the political structure and military system of the Han Dynasty.
But first, the royal family must be sealed.
Several chamberlains stood in rows, holding the edicts used by the emperor in their hands, and presented them to the host of the ceremony, Cheng Yu, one by one.
Cheng Yu picked up the first edict and unfolded it.
He solemnly and solemnly announced that the name of the new dynasty was Wei, and the name of the new dynasty was Yande.
The three years of Han Jian'an have ended, and this year, the new year, is the first year of Wei Yande.
After that, the second edict was unfolded, and Cheng Yu announced that because of the new dynasty of the Han Dynasty, it was established as Tude, so it was changed from "Luoyang" to "Luoyang", and Luoyang was the capital of the Wei Empire.
Then there is the third edict, the new emperor Guo Peng Fengchan let the Han Emperor Liu Jian of the emperor throne as the Duke of Shanyang of Wei State, 10,000 households, changed Shanyang County to Shanyang State, and allowed to worship the first emperors of the Han Dynasty with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in the fiefdom.
Liu Jian, the newly baked Shanyang Gong, was very happy and immediately knelt down to accept the edict, Guo Peng immediately stood up and walked down the steps to personally help Liu Jian.
"I just said, the Shanyang Gong doesn't need to be called a minister, and he doesn't need to kneel to receive the edict, in this world, I have something with the Shanyang Public."
Guo Peng held Liu Jian's hand tightly, and Liu Jian expressed gratitude.
The new emperor is so benevolent and the abolished emperor is so grateful, which shows how much the new dynasty has the hearts of the people.
The ministers watched this scene and sighed very much, feeling that the new dynasty was promising.
After Liu Jian received the reward from the Duke of Shanyang, Cheng Yu began to read the fourth edict.
The fourth edict was an edict canonizing the royal family of Guo Wei.
Guo Peng posthumously honored his grandfather Guo Yong as Emperor Xi Zuren, and posthumously honored his grandmother Zhao as Empress Ren.
Guo Pengzun's biological father Guo Dan was the emperor of Wei, and his mother-in-law Yang was the empress of Wei.
Guo Peng's wife Cao Lan was the empress of Wei, and his eldest son Guo Jin was the crown prince of Wei.
The former Han Dynasty had a harem regulation fourteen, after the revival of Guangwu Zhongxing, in order to show frugality, the Later Han only had the title of queen and nobleman, and later joined the title of beauty, palace man, and woman.
Guo Peng decided to inherit the Later Han system, and named the concubine Mi as a nobleman, the concubine Xiahou and Tian as beauties, and the concubine Qiao and the two sisters as palace people.
Feng brother Guo Yang is the king of Zhao, with 3,000 households, living in the capital and not being a vassal, and Guo Yang's wife Li is the wife of Zhao Wang, and the title of quasi-Zhao Wang is hereditary.
The number of the Guo family's royal family is indeed small.
Grandfather Guo Yong gave birth to several sons, only his father Guo Dan survived, and when Guo Peng grew up, all the relatives of Guo Dan's generation died, and Guo Dan himself only had two sons, one Guo Peng and one Guo Yang, so it was simple, and it was completed.
Guo Peng's children are not adults except for Guo Jin, so they are not in a hurry to be crowned kings.
No one in the collateral family got the prince, not even the duke, only Guo Hong got the first-class marquis because of his status and merit, and Guo Jia got the second-class marquis because of his merit.
Guo Peng restored the fifth-class title system in the Spring and Autumn Period, abolished the 20-level title system implemented in the Qin and Han dynasties, and added three grades to each rank under the fifth-class title system, gradually increasing from third to first-class, with the highest being a first-class duke and the lowest being a third-class baron.
Similarly, Guo broke Liu Bang's White Horse Alliance very decisively, but he was very hypocritical and shameless to set up his own White Horse Alliance.
Only Guo can be a prince, and the highest title of a minister is a first-class duke.
In addition to Guo Hong and Guo Jia, the rest of the Guo clan children only Guo Rui, Guo Yi, Guo Lie, and Guo Dong, who held high-ranking official and military positions, received the title of second-class earl.
The rest of the Guo sons who held ordinary positions were only given a third-class viscount at most, and some barons, most of whom did not even have a knighthood.
It seems that Guo Peng does not plan to seal the kings of the Guo family in order to defend the royal family.
These were not the main events, but they also made some keen courtiers aware of Guo Peng's dissatisfaction with the Han system and what he would do in the future.
It seems that Guo Peng was very dissatisfied with the situation of the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty, and decided to adopt the method of sealing the king and not becoming a vassal to restrict the clan.
The Qin Dynasty did the same, but Qin II died.
Han did not do this, but it is true that the rebellion of the Seven Kings should not be ignored.
So there may be debates about this kind of thing in the future, but for now, it's not too much to discuss.
The most important thing at the moment is what the courtiers themselves want to get, and the new emperor Guo Peng's future plan for the Guo Wei Empire, which is what they are most concerned about.
