Chapter 1341: Enthronement
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the early morning of the day of the enthronement ceremony.
There are a lot of major events today, Li Zhongyi got up early, washed and bathed, put on a crown, and went to Taimiao to worship his ancestors first.
Li Zhongyi's grandfather was called Li Hanshi, that is, he was born on the day of the Cold Food Festival, so he was named Hanshi.
Li Zhongyi's great-grandfather, named Li Nan, was originally an orphan and a beggar. It's just a coincidence that Li Nan, who originally had no name, was adopted as an adopted son by an old man, so he studied Chinese medicine together.
As for Li Zhongyi's ancestor, even Li Dahe can't say it clearly. However, according to Kong Kun's research, Li Zhongyi's distant ancestor should be Li Yuan's sixth son, Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing.
Hehe, the Son of Heaven who changed the dynasty must be born with a vision, which is unspeakably expensive.
Regardless of whether Li Zhongyi believes it or not, anyway, the distant ancestor written on the family tree is Li Yuanjing, that is, the half-brother of Li Laoer of Tang Taizong.
Since Li Zhongyi has become the emperor, the ancestors of their old Li family have all been posthumously sealed.
As for Li Dahe, it must be the Emperor Taishang, and Concubine Xue is about to officially become the empress dowager of the Qiang Han Dynasty.
Some people were worried that Li Zhongyi's father and son would be embarrassed to meet, so they suggested that the quasi-emperor Li Dahe should be moved to Luoyang, Xijing, to settle down.
Li Zhongyi and Li Dahe have a very deep relationship, and he is not willing to affect the relationship between father and son for the sake of trivial matters in etiquette, so he directly left the folds in the middle and did not send it, just as there was no such thing.
After the restructuring of the Tongjin Yintai Division, all the pieces received were first handed over to Li Zhongyi's inner study, and Li Zhongyi sent them to the cabinet for handling according to the priority of the matter.
Li Zhongyi did not send the recital, and even if the ministers of the cabinet already knew the content of the recital, they could only stare helplessly.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Tongjin Yintai Division was directly managed by Li Zhongyi, which greatly strengthened the centralized advantage of imperial power.
After sacrificing to the Taimiao, Li Zhongyi, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to the altar in the southern suburbs on the imperial chariot and sacrificed the heaven and earth.
At noon, when the sun is the brightest and can shine directly on the steps of the main hall of the Daqing Palace, the festive and solemn music plays, and Li Zhongyi slowly walks into the main hall and sits on the dragon chair under the guidance of Kong Kun, the escort envoy.
The inside and outside of the main hall were already solemnly filled with civil and military officials, the fully armed guards flashed their armor, the honor guards horses and honor guards, and the floats and colorful imperial chariots were lined up on both sides, and the colorful flags were hunting.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Under the guidance of the salute officials, the civil and military officials solemnly bowed three times and bowed nine times.
"All the ministers are flat!" Li Zhongyi has already sweated several times, but today's day is extremely special, even if he is impatient, he has to endure it for the time being.
After the new monarch ascended the throne, Kong Kun held the edict in his hand and read aloud the mighty emperor's grace, one for the reward and the other for amnesty.
As expected, Li Dahe was canonized as the emperor, Concubine Xue was canonized as the queen mother, and Li Qiniang and others were rewarded according to their respective positions.
According to the usual practice, after Li Zhongyi officially ascended the throne, in order to make it easier for people all over the world to avoid it, he changed his name to a rare character and called: Li.
In other words, from today onwards, this word has become Li Zhongyi's special word. Whoever dares to use this word to name their own baby is waiting to lose their heads.
The reason why it is a word, mainly after the research of Confucian masters, the previous dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wood fire, so, this dynasty is still fire.
After Li Zhongyi's death, when scholars mention him on official occasions, they must mention it three times, that is: My Taizu X Emperor.
The Taizu here is the temple number, and Emperor X here depends on what kind of nickname the son who succeeded Li Zhongyi to the throne.
Generally speaking, the name of the founding monarch is either Emperor Gao or Emperor Wu.
For example, after Zhu Di ascended the throne in the Ming Dynasty, when the ministers mentioned Zhu Chongba in the recital or on formal occasions, they had to say: I, Emperor Taizu Gao.
To everyone's surprise, Li Zhongyi's sons, including the eldest Li Jiyi, not only did not have the title of king, but also did not even have a title.
Previously, all the titles awarded by Li Zhongyi adhered to the same principle, that is: those who have no military merits will not be awarded!
Originally, the ministers thought that Li Zhongyi's sons belonged to the exceptional situation and should be crowned kings one by one.
However, everyone never expected that Li Zhongyi took the basic principle of no knighthood for no military merit so seriously.
Li Zhongyi's big reward for the world has a lot of exquisiteness, and Wenchen can't reward the title, so he can only reward money. The officers in the army, all with high salaries, are not short of money. In addition to rewarding each officer and soldier with a sheep, they will be rewarded with titles one by one according to their respective military merits.
Among them, there are a total of nine marquis, including Yang Lie, Liao Shanhe, Ma Guangda and Liu Heyang, all of whom have officially become the marquis of the Qiang Han Dynasty.
As for the princes of the highest rank and the dukes of the next rank, none of them were awarded.
Clear-eyed people can understand at a glance that kings and dukes belong to extremely special titles in the Qianghan Dynasty, and those who are not special will not be rewarded!
When the sky was already dark, the entire enthronement ceremony was over, and Li Zhongyi, who was wearing more than a dozen layers of crowns, hurriedly returned to the apse, took off his thick dress, and changed into comfortable regular clothes.
Li Qiniang, who had a big belly, saw Li Zhongyi in a hurry, couldn't help but stroke her belly, and joked with a smile: "Little thing, look at it, it's almost making your father faint." ”
Li Zhongyi laughed, leaned over and stroked Li Qiniang's belly, and said with a smile: "Little thing, come out quickly, Daddy, I'm waiting to hug you." ”
Li Qiniang knew in her heart, because Chai Yuniang had always refused to give in, although today was a happy day, Li Zhongyi's mood was actually very ordinary.
According to common sense, the top priority after the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to the canonization of the emperor and the empress dowager, was to canonize the queen of the middle palace.
However, Chai Yuniang has never forgiven Li Zhongyi's usurpation of the throne and refuses to cooperate. In this way, the ceremony of standing the emperor in the middle palace can only be extended indefinitely.
After the change of dynasty, it can be said that a few families are happy and a few are worried!
None of the princes, including Li Jiyi, were crowned kings, and Tang Shuyi was inevitably a little regretful!
In Tang Shuyi's opinion, Li Jiyi, the oldest, should have been the first to be crowned king.
However, since the children have not been crowned kings, even if Tang Shuyi is not satisfied, he can accept it.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi summed up the gains and losses of the past dynasties, and he found one of the most important problems, in fact: the disadvantages of the early establishment of the prince are far more than the benefits.
Among them, the most likely situation of cannibalism between father and son is: the prince is strong, but the father has not collapsed!
ps: The ticket difference is very far, and the plus more will be sent first!
