Chapter 72: The Parade Swearing-in Ceremony

Jiangdu, this majestic city, with a radius of more than 40 miles, was built by Xiang Yu.

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the surname Liu of the same clan was the king, and in the 64th year of Emperor Jing, Liu Fei had built the Jiangdu State to govern 53 cities of the three capitals. Until Liu Fei's son Liu Jian committed misbehaving, rebelled and committed suicide, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict in the second year of Yuanzhan to revoke it, and Jiangdu only existed for 32 years.

In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Emperor Wen of Sui changed Wuzhou to Yangzhou, but the governor's office was still located in Danyang (i.e., Jiankang, now Nanjing). During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the state was changed to a county, and Yangzhou was divided into several states, and the river belonged to Guangling County, and since then Guangling has enjoyed the special name of Yangzhou.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and south of the Jiangdu, the Yangtze River turns a bend from here, from south to north, and then turns to the east, goes straight to the sea, goes straight to the mouth of the sea, to the east more than 200 miles of Jingkou Town, and the opposite Guazhou ferry, becomes the necessary place for visitors from the north to cross the river, and to the south passes through Danyang, Jinling and other places, and goes straight into the land of Sanwu.

Spring flowers are blooming, it is already spring March, the willow branches begin to sprout, the birds chirp happily, the warm morning sun has risen to mid-air, it is the time, in the words of later generations, this is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, swaying its own light and heat to the fullest, shining on all living beings outside the Jiangdu City.

Yesterday, after a few days of efforts by Shangshu Province, the Sixth Department and Chen Ling, the resettlement of the displaced people has been completed, and today is the day when the displaced people are dismissed.

At this time, outside the Jiangdu City, there was a sea of people, gathering the Xiaoguo Army, the Right Imperial Guard Soldiers, the Right Yiwei Water Division, 400,000 displaced people and 230,000 Jiangdu people, nearly a million people surrounded an empty plain. People either stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and some even rode on the backs of their companions, just to get a better glimpse of the demeanor of Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui.

In the middle of the plain, there is a building platform with a radius of dozens of zhang, on which stands the royal family of the Great Sui, the dignitaries and nobles, the building is due north to build the deer platform, the whole building platform plus the height of the deer platform, a total of more than ten zhang high, is the stage specially provided for Yang Guang's speech.

From the deer platform to the below the platform, every ten steps there is a specially selected big voice standing aside, and along the way from the tower to the flow of people, every dozens of steps, there is also a big voice, in order to pass Yang Guang's wonderful speech to everyone's ears.

Yang Guang is wearing a formal costume for worshipping the heavens today, with black as the base and red as the main one.

Among them, the hair is tied with a black curtain, and the head wears a horizontal crown of Tongtian with a width of seven inches and a length of one foot and two inches, that is, the flat heavenly crown.

His clothes, the top and the bottom, the first three, the last four. It is like the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi, and the neckline and armband are decorated with crimson patterns. (Soap, i.e., black.) 绛, that is, red. )

His waist was tied with a jade belt inlaid with many precious jades, and he wore white jade around his waist and hung the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes, looking from afar, they really look like an emperor who has achieved fame and has been famous for eternity!

Around Yang Guang, except for Nayan Suwei, who is 76 years old this year, as the celebrant, the rest of the royal family and ministers all stood on the platform in strict accordance with the law and etiquette, waiting for the start of the military parade.

"Holy Lord, the good day has arrived!" Su Wei respectfully pleaded with Yang Guang.

Since the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Su Wei made Emperor Yang of Sui unhappy because of his truthful report on the situation in the world, and Yu Shiji and Pei Yun took the opportunity to fall into the well and dismissed from office.

But since Yang Guang was busy with business, he suddenly remembered this person, so he reappointed Su Wei as the provincial governor, Tai Changqing, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Pi Guogong a few days earlier, and asked this old guy to come out of the mountain again.

Yang Guang knows that Su Wei is very addicted to officials, and he doesn't have any big bad intentions, although he is a bit of a poor literati, he is keen on friends, and he has a little Jiujiu in his heart, but his essence is still good, and he also has real talents and real learning.

Since the period of Yuwenhu, the emperors that this old guy has served in his life can't be counted on one hand, not including the official history, the later Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong, and Li Yuan. In the Sui Dynasty, Su Wei has always been in the position of Zaifu, although there have been several twists and turns, but overall, he has been at the core of the power of the Great Sui, assisting Emperor Wen of Sui to enrich the country and strengthen the people, which can be called a generation of famous ministers!

Just now, when Yang Guang saw such a grand scene, he couldn't help but be proud and excited in his heart, and he thought about it for a while, and YY was infinite. After hearing Su Wei's reminder, Yang Guangcai reacted, settled down, and said, "Let's start!" ”

Hearing this, Su Wei puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "The hour has come, the ceremony begins!" ”

As the words fell, the melodious horn and the earth-shattering drum sounded at the same time, hundreds of trumpeters scattered everywhere raised their trombones, puffed out their cheeks and blew vigorously, thousands of drummers threw off their arms and beat the drums vigorously, and a majestic melody infected everyone present.

Accompanied by the passionate sound of horns and drums, Yang Guangzheng straightened his clothes, raised his head slightly, looked at the top of the platform, and then took a step, slowly stepped on the steps, and climbed towards the highest deer platform.

Seeing this, the royal ministers on the platform knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Subsequently, the soldiers present, from near and far, dismounted one after another, pressed their swords with their guns, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Long live~!" Banzai~! ”

In the end, the nearly one million spectators present, consciously or unconsciously infected by this emotion, knelt on the ground one after another, their lips to the ground, their eyes staring at Yang Guang, and shouted: "Long live~!" Banzai~! ”

Yang Guang took one step at a time, feeling the emotions around him getting higher and higher, and Yang Guang's steps became heavier and heavier, as if every step he climbed up, he was increasing gravity and obstacles.

The sound of long live resounded throughout the audience also infected Yang Guang's emotions, although he was very excited in his heart, but on the surface, his face was still heavy like Mount Tai, which was not only a ritual, but also a kind of tempering of his heart!

It was at this moment that Yang Guang really understood the identity of the emperor, felt the weight of the emperor, and realized the meaning of the emperor.

This is a qualitative change, if Yang Guang was an emperor before; So now, Yang Guangcai is a qualified emperor.

Although this emperor does not live up to his name, most of the world is no longer in his hands, and it is very difficult to pick it up. But this kind of growth of the emperor's heart is a transformation that is completed in an instant!

Yang Guang stared at the top of Lutai, where was his position!

I'm going to take one step, one step, one step, one step ... Climb up!

I want to climb to the highest apex and be the unique, supreme, and exclusive Yang Guang in the world!

After a long time, when everyone's voices were almost hoarse, Yang Guang finally climbed to the top of Lutai.

Yang Guang turned around slowly, glanced at the crowd of beings under his feet, raised his right hand, used his full qi, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Qing, Ping, body!" ”
