Chapter 438: Enthronement Ceremony (Ask for subscriptions, recommendations, collections)
In the early morning, the moon and stars were sparse, and the sky was still dark, only the morning star in the east hung high in the sky, sprinkling a cold glow.
The rooster in the capital has not yet crowed in the morning, but the entire imperial city has completely woken up. The lights were lit everywhere, and passers-by began to line up, and Zhu Youzhen's enthronement ceremony was about to begin.
Upper sacrifice.
In the clear and long shouts of the eunuchs, Zhu Youzhen put on his whole body 'decayed' mourning clothes and walked out of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.
Get started.
Waiting for Zhu Youzhen to sit down, with a shout, Emperor Daming's full luan car began to set off.
At the same time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites escorted the edict of worship to heaven and began to go to the Temple of Heaven in the outer city.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to sacrifice the Heaven and Earth Temple on behalf of the new emperor, and Zhu Youzhen wanted to personally go to the Fengxian Hall to worship his ancestors.
In the Fengxian Palace, according to the rules, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the greatest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor, personally presented incense and candles, Zhu Youzhen knelt on the ground and solemnly promised: "The two heroic spirits are in front, I inherit your incense, and I should let the world 'shine on the sun and the moon, that is, the Ming Dynasty'." ”
After worshipping the two Ming ancestors, Zhu Youzhen turned around and came to the tablet of the eldest brother Zhu Youxiao. Looking at the words on the tablet, 'Da Ming Xi Zong Da Tian Expounded Dao Dun Xiao Du You, Zhang Wen Xiang Wu Jing Mu Zhuang Qinqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao', Zhu Youzhen showed a little wry smile on his face.
"Big brother, don't blame you, Xiao Wu finally used the temple number of Xizong for you."
Thinking of those ministers who talked eloquently, Zhu Youzhen could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.
Zhu Youzhen felt that the temple name of 'Xizong' was ridiculed by the ministers for the eldest brother Zhu Youxiao, who only knew how to play and play, and ignored government affairs.
But he didn't expect that in the mouths of those ministers, the word 'Xi' in this temple number means faint morning light, which means to lament the emperor's early death and fail to shine his due glory. And the word "悊" in the nickname is "Zhe", which is a great beauty.
The ministers' unanimous statement made Zhu Youzhen, who did not know the law, believe that the ministers had indeed given his eldest brother Zhu Youzhen a good lecture.
And this incident is also an important reason for Zhu Youzhen's determination to continue to use Wei Zhongxian. Once these ministers want to play word games with him, how can he, a time-traveler whose knowledge is mostly from his previous life, be the opponent of these ministers who are proficient in literature, study words all day long, and have extremely rich political experience.
"They dare to play with words with me,"
Zhu Youzhen raised his head to face Zhu Youxiao's tablet, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Big brother, Xiao Wu has handed over those punctuation marks to the celebrant supervisor." I believe that the Wei Guild will let the cabinet learn how to use them. ”
Slowly putting away his smile, Zhu Youzhen continued with a solemn attitude: "Big brother, don't worry, the 'Victory' Xiao Wu will definitely make it." Not only the Victory, but Xiao Wu will build more and more powerful warships in the future. Therefore, you don't have to feel guilty, the dream of Little Five One Piece will never be shattered....... ”
In the silent Fengxian Hall, Zhu Youzhen sat in front of Zhu Youxiao's tablet and said slowly, just like facing the eldest brother who had always tolerated and loved him.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Chengtianmen."
Wang Chengen's familiar voice came from outside the door, and Zhu Youzhen stopped his words.
"Big brother, I'll come to see you another day."
Stretching out his hand to wipe his face, Zhu Youzhen slowly stood up, bowed slightly to the tablet, turned around and walked out of the gate of Fengxian Palace.
Leaving the Fengxian Palace, with the assistance of Wang Chengen, he quickly changed into the 'decaying' filial piety clothes, Zhu Youzhen changed into the official yellow five-clawed golden dragon emperor gown, and ascended to Chengtianmen (Tiananmen) to make sincere prayers to the gods and ancestors of China.
When Zhu Youzhen prayed, all the official officials of the capital from the seventh rank and above were dressed in ceremonial robes, and they were divided into two teams according to the civil and military forces, and under the watchful eyes of the supervising imperial history, they were guided by the officials of the Honglu Temple to slowly cross the Jinshui Bridge and enter the palace. In the wide square outside the noon gate, the civil officials knelt on the east side of the imperial road, and the military attaché knelt on the west side of the imperial road, quietly waiting for Zhu Youzhen to finish praying.
After praying, Zhu Youzhen rode through the royal road of Wumen Square, and entered the Huangji Hall (Taihe Palace) that had just been repaired in the kneeling of the hundred officials.
Looking at the few remaining traces of maintenance in the corners of the hall due to the urgency of time, Zhu Youzhen sighed again in his heart.
The eldest brother Zhu Youxiao has always regretted not enthroned in the Huangji Hall (the three major halls were burned down in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, and all the repairs were completed in the sixth year of the Apocalypse), but unfortunately now the reconstruction of the three major halls designed by him is about to be completed, but the eldest brother can no longer see it.
Walking up the jade steps of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Youzhen sat dignified on the wide dragon chair, and the shout of 'Hundred Officials Visit' immediately resounded in the sky.
The hundreds of officials in the capital, the civil officials were headed by cabinet scholars, and the military generals were headed by the British minister Zhang Weixian, and the huge bureaucratic contingent of more than 1,000 began to slowly pour into the Imperial Palace.
After all, the capacity of the Imperial Palace is limited, and only the top dozens of officials can enter the queue, and the rest of the people can only stand in the square outside the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Youzhen sat in the hall and watched boredly as the civil and military officials slowly lined up in shifts. In this solemn scene, Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought that fortunately it was a sunny day, and if there was a sudden rainstorm, then this would be a great fun. The courtiers of this fixed day are indiscriminately touched by this meteorological situation? Or are you really sure?
I didn't know that Zhu Youzhen's thoughts had flown away, and the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty relied on their familiarity with the etiquette of the Great Dynasty Meeting.
A Han general with bright armor twisted around and waved the Jing Whip in his hand that was more than ten meters long, and pulled out three extremely loud crisp sounds in a row - three Jing Whip three rings.
After the sound of the whip, the band of the Jiaofang Division on the steps of the Imperial Palace raised the various musical instruments in their hands to make the appearance of playing music. It's just that because the mourning period of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has not passed, and because of Zhu Youzhen's strict order to respect Zhu Youxiao, the whole band only made a sound.
After a period of silent music was played, the official of Honglu Temple shouted loudly: "Hundred officials see the ceremony."
In the roar of the ceremonial officials of Honglu Temple, thousands of civil and military officials knelt down and performed the most solemn 'three kneeling and nine knocking' bows to meet the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After the ceremony, the civil and military officials were guided by the ceremonial officials of Honglu Temple and returned to the square outside Chengtianmen to re-line up.
"Please ask my emperor to issue an edict."
The hundred officials outside the palace retreated, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the Imperial Palace went out according to the rules and asked the new emperor to issue an edict.
"Yes."
Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon seat, snorted without the slightest emotion.
With Zhu Youzhen's permission, the officials of the Hanlin Academy presented the edict that had already been prepared, and the eunuch Shang Baojian brought the emperor's jade seal, and Zhu Youzhen personally stamped the seal on the edict. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took out the edict and handed it to the officials of Honglu Temple with both hands.
The officials of Honglu Temple held the edict through Fengtianmen and Jinshui Bridge to arrive at the noon gate, put it into the cloud that had been prepared for a long time, and then guided by the cloud cover, sent to the Chengtian gate, and officially read the edict to the civil and military officials. Subsequently, this edict will also be transmitted to the world through the imperial court post system, and the people of the world will be informed of the news of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, Zhu Youzhen's enthronement ceremony ended successfully.
