The next day, Antai Hou Ji went to the Minister's Mansion in person to discuss with Bai Liyan about the two sisters, Ya'er and Yan'er, and finally accepted the price of redemption, and the matter of Four Seasons Fang came to an end.

On November 15, the wind was light and the sky was blue, and the Liang country sang and danced to promote the auspicious auspicious auspiciousness of the country and the people, and the coronation ceremony of the Son of Heaven was fully launched.

Ji Tao, the Son of Heaven, held the coronation ceremony in "Building the Roof", the civil and military officials and nobles, and the princes and envoys of various countries gathered to watch the ceremony on the rooftop.

This rooftop is the altar where the Son of Heaven worships the heavens, and it is also the place where the new emperor ascends the throne and holds the coronation ceremony.

According to the ancient practice, the Son of Heaven was crowned with eight ceremonies and eight ceremonies, recited the congratulatory messages of the princes, and the envoys of the civil and military officials of the world respectfully called three times "Your Majesty has no borders, and the hearts of heaven and earth are one" to show submission and the orthodoxy of the emperor, and the Son of Heaven called "all Aiqing Pingsheng", and then wore a crown, officially called the emperor, and then read the text prepared by the Son of Heaven early before he ascended the throne.

The text first recites the merits of the first emperor during his lifetime, and then praises the new emperor's character, how he can be, how he is going to inherit the legacy of the first emperor in the future, etc., in short, only say the good, not the bad.

At the end of the coronation, the Son of Heaven brought the civil and military officials and envoys of the princes of the world to build a rooftop to worship heaven and earth, and gave nine tin.

Jiuxi is a ritual vessel given by the Son of Heaven to the ministers of civil and military affairs and the princes and officials, including chariots and horses, clothes, musical instruments, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, Tiger Ben, axes, bows and arrows, and wine to the sky, in short, it is a utensil for eating, wearing, living, traveling, consumption, and entertainment.

Today's people seem to have nothing new, but you must know that the primitive society can have clothes to wear is already a noble with a great status, and the basic people who drink wine are the power class, although the vermilion lacquer door is an ordinary, red lacquered wooden door, but the deterrent power is equivalent to the door of today's bank vault.

The reward of Jiuxi is of great political significance, the princes of the world are theoretically the vassals of the Son of Heaven, in fact, they are all warlords and vassal kings from all over the world, the significance of Jiuxi is no less than to give the princes a distant and close relatives, and any item rewarded represents the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards different princes.

Under normal circumstances, the new emperor's ascension to the throne generally follows the basic framework of the first emperor's accession to the throne, what is rewarded, what is rewarded this time, and there will be slight adjustments, and there will be no major adjustments that will be overturned and restarted. However, the situation in the Central Plains has changed dramatically over the past 20 years or so, and it is obviously impossible to follow the established conventions.

Let's just say that this patriotic country, brutal by nature, since ancient times occupy a place in the West Sea, has always been rewarded with "musical instruments" or "ritual instruments", generally speaking, the princes who reward musical instruments and ritual instruments are mostly enlightened and enlightened ceremonial states, but on the body of the country, this is not the meaning at all, and it has to be understood in reverse.

Now that people have come to the door, the instrument of ritual music is obviously not suitable, so this time the Son of Heaven rewarded King Wei with a red door, which is intriguing.

Zhumen is generally given to lower-ranking officials, and even to the common people. Of course, since it is given to the princes, it is obvious that it cannot be taken for granted.

As the biggest dark horse in the past 20 years, Weiguo has broken into the hinterland of the Central Plains to dominate the world, and sending a pair of doors seems to imply that the door to the success of defending the country is opened.

However, in Bailiyan's opinion, she tasted another layer of meaning, as if she was making a sarcasm about changing the way Wei Guo was an upstart.

Then, as the now titular overlord of Zhiguo, the Son of Heaven followed the practice of the previous emperor and rewarded him with a good bow.

There have been changes in the kingdoms of Xu and Song, and the two countries have always been rewarded chariots and horses, and this time they were rewarded with princely crown clothes. The reason is also very ironic, in the past, Liang Guo was very good at making cars, but now high-end vehicles have to be imported from Xianguo, and it is obviously not appropriate to reward cars and horses.

Then the Jin State was given an altar of wine for the coronation ceremony, and before that, the Jin State received a crown robe.

Next, Changsun, Yan, Chen, Zhao, and Qiguo were given tiger ben and axes, of course, everyone knows very well that these five countries all have the same characteristics of "five scum of war", and the combat power of the four countries of the West Sea is actually not bad, but the difference in national strength is too great.

The eldest grandson is a veritable war scumbag, and the people of the country have a lot of thick land, and they are a bad man when they start to do it. The tiger and the axe are all weapons, and the reward of the Son of Heaven to the sword soldiers is inevitably suspected of playing right and wrong.

In the end, the reward of the Xianguo is very intriguing, and the rewards received by the previous Xian kings are mostly sacrificial wine, and then it is not the ceremonial instrument, which is the "Na Majesty"

The word "Na Ma" refers to the steps of the staircase, there was no two-story building in ancient times, so the staircase has not yet been invented, and after the appearance of the two-story building, it is extremely inconvenient to climb the short ladder to go up and down the stairs. Later, the staircase was invented, and it became easier to go up and down the stairs.

In addition, "Na Ma" also refers to the VIP passage, which is a convenient way for the elite to enter and exit. In short, "Na Ma" means one step to the sky, and if you understand this, it will be much easier to understand the next thing.

Because before this, "Na Ma" rarely rewarded the princes, only after the overlord of the Central Plains changed hands, the Son of Heaven would give the overlord "Na Ma" to show recognition, and rarely rewarded "Na Ma" at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

However, as soon as this move came out, it was tantamount to putting Xianguo on the fire for barbecue, and there was no chance to refuse.

Given nine tin, according to the rule, the Son of Heaven should also reward the princes with gold, silver, jade, silk, jewelry, treasures and other things, but compared with the return gifts prepared by the princes, the gold, silver, jade, silk and jewelry rewarded by the Son of Heaven are really a drop in the bucket, and the meaning is more.

The amount of congratulatory gifts from the princes is still the same as the old custom, and the amount of the previous emperor's period has increased or decreased slightly according to the national conditions, but last year the princes of various countries made more or less a big profit, and this year it is somewhat unreasonable to continue to maintain the previous amount.

Bailiyan's envoy prepared 3,000 pieces of gold, 10,000 horses of high-quality cotton cloth, 1,000 pieces of fine silk, 1,000 pieces of silk, 1,000 pieces of yarn, 500 pieces of silk, 500 pieces of silk, 100 horses of silk, 50 horses of jacquard brocade, 200 catties of jade, 20 large pearls, 5 sapphires, 5 rubies, 5 emeralds, 5 white diamonds, 2 cat's eyes, 100 jars of 100 cellar aging, five hyelweiss flowers, two cameras, a whole flat dressing mirror, 200 horses of the Central Plains, etc......

Overall, this gift list is not unrich and ingenious.

The other princes basically followed the practice of previous years, but there was basically nothing new in the patterns, except for gold, silver, jewelry, eating, drinking, and merrymaking, there was nothing else, even if it was an object for eating, drinking, and playing, it was not as rich as the variety of Xianguo.

The enthronement ceremony began at four o'clock in the morning and lasted until the end of the afternoon, which was not only a face-saving project, but also a physical work.

You can't sit all the time, you have to stand all the time, the Son of Heaven has to be on call, three bows and nine bows for a while, kowtow for a while, and toss you over and over again.

Such a "solemn" and solemn ceremony, it is obviously not okay to retire halfway to replenish energy, or even eat and drink in public. So he was prepared, brought a handful of fruit candy and hid it in his sleeve pocket, and lowered his head to swallow two pills when he was unprepared to raise his blood sugar.

At the end of the enthronement ceremony, the Son of Heaven feasted the foreign envoys as usual, because Jiuxi was given the "Majesty", and made peace with the country, the princes had an extremely cold attitude towards the Xian State, even the prince of Sun Guo, who was still slapping the horse yesterday, today also changed yesterday's courtesy, and his attitude was mediocre.

Everyone is a smart person, and the articles on the scene still have to be done, which Bai Liyan still knows in his heart.

The feast lasted for two hours, and then dispersed at the end of the unitary hour. Basically, no one dares to gobble up the sea and drink at the state banquet of the Son of Heaven, eating is not the main thing, and the focus is still on the "general trend of the world". Ji Tao, the Son of Heaven, took advantage of today to put forward two "spiritual requirements".

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew in their hearts that one was that the defense of the country attacked the eldest grandson, and Liang Tianzi implicitly hinted that the princes hoped that the defense of the country would cease the war and stop the army, which showed that Liang intended to express his intention to intervene.

The second is related to Xianguo, and its beautiful name is "Hello, I am good, everyone, everyone prospers together and gets rich together." "In other words, Xianguo should be open and shared in technology, and it is not good to dominate the cheats of getting rich, you should drive others to get rich together if you get rich first.

These words seem to be both a knock on the Xianguo and a high-sounding benefit to the princes, but the layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, and the princes all know the power of the Xianguo's "secret book to get rich", and everyone wants to get "this" secret book, but when these words come out of the mouth of the Son of Heaven, they can't help but be plausible.

First of all, technology is the fundamental secret of all political subjects, who would be stupid to take it out and share it with others, let alone people, a group of jackals, tigers and leopards who make ideas around the cake.

Secondly, you Liang Guo said that technology is open, but in fact, it can't be opened.

Liang Guo knew best in his heart that if he followed the standards of Yongxing, Ruitian, Lincheng, and Xuanyun, the funds needed could empty the treasury of Liang State several times, and where was the economic cost that other vassal states could bear.

Not to mention that the technology is not open, even if it is opened, such a huge cost, the princes of various countries will not only not agree, but think that a bunch of broken copper and iron in Xianguo is worth such a sky-high price, and it is better to buy it than to simply grab it. Therefore, this so-called technological openness is nothing more than a sinister ploy.

Third, based on the second reason, the good man Liang State did it, and the Xian State ate it, but in the end it was besieged and killed by the princes of various countries, and in the end, the benefits that other princes could share were extremely limited, and it was the Liang State that really benefited.

The plan for the operation of the Chengdao faction is as long as a cycle of ten to twenty years, or even longer, so within ten years, the Liang State will theoretically purchase a certain amount of equipment from the Xian State and train some basic talents, and at that time, the princes will attack the Xian State, if the Xian State is destroyed, the princes will continue to fight in the Xian State due to the uneven distribution of spoils.

As a result, the result can only be to destroy the industrial base of the Xian State, and a large number of elite talents are displaced and even killed.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven's move seems to be for the sake of the princes of the world and to be a good person, but in fact, it harbors evil intentions and is heinous.

The Son of Heaven ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, Jinye opened the ban for three days, the night ban was canceled, and the whole city sang and danced jubilantly, completely unaware that the huge haze gradually shrouded in this land of "peace and tranquility" for thousands of years.
