Volume II, Chapter 1, Enthronement Ceremony

On the ninth day of August in the ninth year of Wude, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was clear. Emperor Lao'er officially abdicated and became Emperor Taishang, and Zen was located in Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

On this day, the gate of Xuanwu Gate, which had been closed for seven days, finally opened slowly, and on this day, in the imperial city of Beijing, a world-renowned enthronement ceremony was being held, but this ceremony was very different from the past, simple and simple, grand and grand.

The simple reason is that at this time of internal and external troubles, the king of Qin ordered all prohibitions of extravagance and waste, everything is simple, and said that the grand is because today is the day when the new emperor of a country ascends the throne after all, and the basic etiquette must be prepared, and the ministers are still busy preparing, and those foreign envoys and officials in Beijing received a notice early, and came to the Daxing Hall early with the ministers, and waited to pay homage to the new emperor.

"Your Highness! After being inspected by the ministers, the preparations for the enthronement ceremony were completed. The time has come, I respectfully invite Your Majesty to come to the city tower of Daxing Hall and hold the enthronement ceremony! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was hanging his hands and said to King Qin, who was dressing up.

Although Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is now the crown prince, he did not move to the East Palace, but still stayed in the Qin Palace, which has now become the center of the country's political hub. The defense was tight, and officials of all sizes kept coming in and out.

"Hmmm! Got it, Brother Wuji, look at it, the armor I just built is majestic?"

King Qin was wearing a golden armor while being served by his subordinates, and his mouth kept talking, and he responded to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

"Your Highness, today's enthronement ceremony, why are you passing on this armor, hurry up and change the dragon robe, there is no time!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little surprised to see that King Qin was not wearing the dragon robe he had just built but was asking his subordinates to wear armor for him, in terms of relationship, he and King Qin grew up together, although they were monarchs and ministers, but the relationship was more than brothers, so he was a little reproachful and said with disgust.

"Brother Wuji, let me tell you, today I am going to wear a military uniform to participate in this enthronement ceremony, according to the news I just received, and now, the Turkic attack speed is extremely fast, and within two days, it will be Weishui! If I take it lightly, I'm afraid I'm going to become the shortest-lived emperor in history! ”

Although King Qin was very smiling and said it very easily, the eldest grandson Wuji next to him knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Your Highness Crow's Mouth, today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, how can you say these unlucky words!"

"Brother Wuji, it's not a good habit to be afraid of illness and avoid medical treatment, that Turkic Jieli Khan originally signed a contract with me for 20 years not to commit crimes in the south, and now, I must think that my Tang Dynasty prince must be in chaos, but I would not expect that I would stabilize the situation so quickly. I will ascend the throne today, and then hurry to the banks of the Wei River, and I will definitely startle him! ”

"Your Highness, no! Leading troops into battle, that's what generals should do, and now you are the king of a country, and can you risk your life and ignore your daughter's body? ”

"Then there are soldiers to adjust? That will be available, now the nearest army to the Beijing division is led by Wei Chi Gong, it will take at least three or four days to reach Weishui, if I don't personally go out to deter that strong khan, the Turkic army will cross Weishui, and then there will be a horse in front of Pingchuan, we are willing to stop, but there is nothing we can do! ”

At this time, the King of Qin had already put on his armor, and he was full of vigor and vitality, and his eyes were full of depth and vitality.

"Isn't there still General Zhenyuan? What do you think of him coming forward? ”

Although the eldest grandson Wuji knew that the things set by King Qin were irrevocable, he still insisted on hoping to change King Qin's decision, you know, the sword is ruthless, once King Qin arrives in front of the battle, who dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents?

"Although General Zhenyuan is invincible, the other party is thousands of troops after all! In addition, in dialogue with the Khan of Nali, I, the king of a country, obviously have more weight.

Let's go, go to the enthronement ceremony, I, the king of a country, am afraid that I have created a history, ascended the throne in a military uniform, and after ascending the throne, I will lead the troops to fight. Ha ha! ”

King Qin laughed, and walked out of the room, a group of Praetorian Guard guards were already waiting outside, seeing King Qin come out in military uniform, a sergeant hurriedly brought the white horse mount that King Qin usually rides, so King Qin turned over and jumped onto the horse. Shout:

"Daxing Palace, let's go!"

After speaking, he jumped out of the horse, and the Praetorian Guards hurriedly followed, and a group of people rushed to the Daxing Palace.

As soon as King Qin set off here, there was already a report in front of him to report to the enthronement site of Daxing Palace.

"The auspicious time has come, and all the ministers and envoys are ready to welcome the new emperor to the throne."

The voice of the minister in charge of the enthronement ceremony came from above, and when the ministers below heard it, they hurriedly began to arrange their clothes and crown, and then looked at each other to check if there was anything wrong with each other.

And at this time, Yuesheng and Yue'e were naturally in this group of ministers, regardless of their relationship with King Qin, even the official titles of the two were not good not to participate in such a ceremony, and it happened that Yuesheng and Yue'e were also very curious, so they simply came here early, but the two were not as solemn and frightened as the ministers, the two were very relaxed, and they had been happily talking about the curious things they had seen.

Just when the ministers were ready to talk to each other, the king of Qin led a group of Praetorian Guards from afar, galloped on horseback, and quickly came to the Daxing Palace.

When the ministers saw that the King of Qin was dressed in military uniform, he still came on horseback, and they all looked at each other in surprise.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time! The ceremony can begin, I'm in a hurry to finish it, and I have to lead the troops to the battle! ”

As soon as King Qin got off his horse, he said loudly and heartily to the ministers.

After listening to King Qin's narration, many old ministers looked at the people next to them secretly, and then shook their heads at each other, while more ministers nodded.

"The auspicious time has come, respectfully invite the new emperor to ascend the throne!"

The minister in charge of the ceremony heard the sound of the beginning of the ceremony from the head of the Daheung Hall.

"Respectfully invite my emperor to ascend the throne, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone knelt down in unison, and then shouted in unison over and over again, and the sound resounded almost throughout the imperial city.

King Qin took a powerful step, in the thousands of calls of the ministers, step by step to the Daxing Palace, and finally entered the Daxing Palace, sitting on the dragon throne chair that symbolizes the ninety-five supreme. The gaze on his face became more resolute and deeper.

"All the ministers and workers are even!"

King Qin said to the crowd in front of him who were kneeling on the ground and the crowd stood up.

Immediately, the presiding officer next to him began to announce the process of the ceremony again, busy and methodically.

Only then did the new emperor King Qin announce that the important ministers would enter the Daxing Palace to discuss matters.

"Now that the Turkic army is coming, I will go to Weiqiao in less than two days, I will follow General Zhenyuan to lead the Beijing Janissaries and the surrounding troops to Weiqiao to resist the enemy today, and the affairs of the capital will trouble the people's families.

The first order given by the King of Qin to ascend to the throne of the emperor was also a holy decree.

"Do the holy thing!"

Although the matter was abrupt, the ministers still bowed in unison and replied.

"Good! Very well, General Zhenyuan is here?"

King Qin looked at the performance of the ministers and nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!"

Yuesheng took Yue'e's hand and walked into the hall from the outside with a smile, just when everyone visited the King of Qin and ascended the throne, Yuesheng pulled Yue'e and hid quietly.

"Prepare, we're ready to go! Goodbye to that auspicious khan. ”

"Your Majesty, we have been ready for a long time! You can get started now. ”

"Okay, let's go now, and all the ministers are scattered!"

After the new emperor King Qin finished speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair, quickly walked out of the main hall, walked down the steps, and jumped up on his war horse, Yuesheng and Yue'e followed behind, and also jumped on the war horse.

A group of people galloped out of the city, and behind them were the dense Praetorian Guards and the garrison of the capital.
