Chapter 22: Enthronement as King

Dynasties, dynasties, there are few dynasties, dynasties are everywhere, the Jin State is a big dynasty, the monarch is called the emperor, and the rest of the countries only dare to call the king, as well as some separatist forces, self-proclaimed duke or marquis.

However, Lin Mu's cowardly younger brother puppet monarch Lin Zijie saw that the Jin State was small and weak, so he degraded himself to the king, which was equivalent to nominally being a big cut short in the four major dynasties, and he could no longer sit on an equal footing with Qin, Yue, Jiang, Yue, and the Four Kingdoms as before.

According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, "the monarch of the Central Plains, the emperor wears the dragon robe, the king wears the python robe, the prince wears nine chapters, the Hou crown wears seven chapters, and the princes wear five chapters", now Lin Mu's crown clothes can only follow the "king crown robe", which is very different from the time of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty.

You must know that all the countries under the dynasty are weak, not boasting, it is not difficult for a dynasty to destroy a dynasty, but they don't dare to break the balance!

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!" Soon after the crown, an attendant came in to make an announcement.

At that time, Lin Mu came to the place of the sacrificial ceremony outside the hall with the inseparable winning battle and a cadre of attendants, and the courtiers of the Jin State and the nobles of the clan all gathered here.

The new monarch's enthronement ceremony, Shouyang City rarely appeared a festive atmosphere, in the era of the Central Plains etiquette, especially respected by the nations, Lin Mu was helpless, these extremely cumbersome processes had to be strictly processed, after the ceremony was the only legitimate monarch of the Jin Kingdom, for this also had to endure.

Fortunately, he has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has already adapted to it.

After all the cumbersome etiquette passed, Lin Mu suddenly thought that if it was in the future, the Jin Kingdom swept away the eight wildernesses and destroyed Liuhe, and after the unification of the four seas, these rituals must be abolished one by one for the crown ceremony of lush humanities, Zhongzheng and peaceful, subtle and deep, dignified and elegant, and stylized the Central Plains etiquette and cut off five of the six kinds of rituals in the thousand-year-old crown dress system, leaving only the smallest ritual scale and the lightest ritual in the ceremony.

These rituals are so cumbersome that they can be a headache.

Although the Jin Kingdom is now small, it also respects the Central Plains Rites, and the land is becoming more and more degraded, but these mundane etiquette and trivial matters are a decline, which shows that the Jin Kingdom is already very ill, and Lin Mu is eager to abolish these systems immediately, but he also knows that now is not the time.

The enthronement ceremony, the end of the sacrifice, and finally the last process, the issuance of the new monarch's succession to the throne to the heavens.

"Xuan!" Lin Mu stood at the top of everyone, and said flatly, young but free and majestic.

I saw a palace attendant bowing his head and holding a brocade silk in both hands to send it, this is the edict written by Lin Mu himself, so he took it and opened the brocade silk, only to hear its voice:

"The Emperor God, the earth carries virtue, favors and descends, and the shepherd does not dare to be. The puppet monarch usurped the throne and brought disaster to the country. With the blessing of God, the ministers supplemented it, the pseudo-monarch shed blood, the society was restored, the whole country was favored, and the country was fortunate. Now that the chaos can be set right, Mu Ding should rise up and work hard. Martial arts, strong country and people, Zhongxing Sheji, Qin this"

At the end of the speech, there was an uproar, and the nobles and common people of the Jin State all knelt on their knees.

"The king has no time for 10,000 years!" "Ten thousand years of the Jin Kingdom!"

"The king has no time for 10,000 years!" "Ten thousand years of the Jin Kingdom!"

From today onwards, Lin Mu will be the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom.

The declining Jin Dynasty officially started the road to rise from today, and a new era officially kicked off.

Lin Mu looked down at the subjects at his prostrate feet, stretched out his arms high, and the light flashed between his eyes and gave birth to a world-shattering heroic spirit.

The stars arch over the moon, the stars shine brightly, and they are gone, and they are one of the nine.

Zhen Chang strategy and control the universe, unify the four seas and control the eight wildernesses, combine the princes of the nine roads, and dominate the world in the Warring States.

In the world of great contention, where there is flesh, there must be contention, and the king wants to dominate the industry, which begins.

……

In the court of the Jin Kingdom, Lin Mu listened to the government for the first time.

"Qin envoy to ——!"

"Xuan!"

"Xuanqin envoy to meet ——!"

Lin Mu, who has become the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, sat on the main hall of the court and looked at the front of the main hall, and looked around at a group of courtiers and dignitaries.

Qin Guo is to give himself courage, Lin Mu couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he really wanted to thank Emperor Qin, but I don't know what kind of feelings Emperor Qin would have after learning that he had cultivated a huge tiger plague that could no longer be checked and balanced, Lin Mu had a somewhat playful expression in his heart.

After a while, the envoys of the Qin State arrived, stood on top of the main hall and bowed, and said, "The contemptible ministers have seen the King of Jin!" ”

"Qin envoys don't have to be polite." Lin Mu on the seat smiled and said.

The envoy of the Qin State responded with a bow, and then continued: "My emperor sent a special minister to congratulate the King of Jin on his restoration of the Jin Kingdom, and gave a small congratulatory gift. Our emperor sent a contemptuous minister to tell the king of Jin that the Qin State is willing to marry the Qin and Jin States forever, and never hand over swords and soldiers! ”

At the end, I saw a team of people carrying a basket of heavy heavy boxes into the main hall, and the Qin envoy waved his hand, and the boxes were opened one by one.

It is full of heavy gifts such as strange pearl treasures, at least worth more than 100,000 gold, Emperor Qin is really generous, Lin Mu is happy when he sees this batch of gifts, the first task at the moment is to train a new soldier, the military consumption is a huge gold-swallowing beast, the more money the better, now the most lacking is money, Emperor Qin is really heartwarming.

The courtiers looked at each other and talked in low voices. Many people were surprised that the new monarch of the country and the Qin Emperor had such a close relationship, and they actually gave such generous gifts, and there were also some people among them, who could see that the Qin Emperor was emboldening the new monarch and deterring some unscrupulous people.

Immediately afterwards, the Qin envoy said again that the hall was shocked, and the Qin envoy took out a piece of brocade silk, which was a copy of the national letter, and said: "Back to the King of Jin, this is a copy of the alliance prepared by my emperor himself, the Qin State is willing to form an iron alliance with each other in the Jin State, and the discord with the King of Jin is discord with our emperor, and the evil with the Jin State is the evil with the Qin State, and the one who destroys the Jin State is the Qin State!" ”

The hall was full of shock, even if Sun and Ning were a little uneasy when they heard the words of the envoys of the Qin State, the Qin Emperor was so supportive? With the support of the Qin State, who would dare to move? The minds of many people in the court began to come alive. The Jin Kingdom has always had constant struggles for the powerful, in fact, it has always been the domestic nobles who control the government, and the puppet monarchs after Emperor Wen of the Jin Dynasty are really incompetent.

It seems that this Jin Kingdom may be about to change.

"Emperor Qin is so good, lonely admiration, Qin envoy must thank Emperor Qin on behalf of Qin after returning to Qin, the coming Jin Kingdom will definitely give a 'generous reward'. Never let Emperor Qin down! Lin Mu laughed loudly, this good report is to put a quotation mark, but no one heard the true meaning of this word, Lin Mu added: "The Jin State is willing to form an iron alliance with the Qin State, and it will be good for Qin and Jin forever!" ”

The book of the covenant has been submitted, and Lin Muyu immediately signed the covenant. Sent it back to the hands of the Qin envoy again, took a look at it and put away the letter of alliance, and then bowed his hand and said: "The contemptuous minister has told my emperor that this trip has achieved its goal, and the contemptuous minister will resign." ”

"Qin made a slow walk. Hehe! Lin Mu stretched out his hand and watched the envoys of the Qin State walk out of the main hall, until they disappeared from the field of vision, they turned their eyes to the ministers in the court, as soon as the envoys of the Qin State left, the courtiers of the Jin court all bowed their hands and shouted to the seat: "Congratulations to the king!" "Jin Guo is lucky!"

Lin Mu looked around and looked down at the Jin ministers, the bright smile on his face never subsided, but he was sneering in his heart, how many of these courtiers were sincere congratulations?
