Chapter 169: The Great Ceremony of the Zen Kingdom

Throwing this bunch of businessmen to the Ministry of Commerce is indeed Yang Mu's will.

Because, he didn't have time.

That's right, as time approaches, the Zen Rang Ceremony is approaching.

During this time, the news and reports of the local government flew to his desk like snowflakes, the government and the opposition were stable, the government and the government were implemented in an orderly manner, and the time was ripe for Zen concession.

To be more precise, it should be the Great Ceremony of the Zen Kingdom.

Yang Mu wasn't sure if the end of the year in this world was the same day as the big year on earth, but judging from the weather, it was the beginning of spring, and it was about the same.

The end of the year and the beginning of the year are festivals among the people, and there are corresponding celebrations, but the customs vary from place to place, and in short, they tend to be a kind of sacrificial activity.

In fact, no matter which world it is, there is one thing in common, and that is human nature.

The more difficult life is, the more attention is paid to sacrificial activities as a spiritual sustenance and hope for a better life.

This year, the festive atmosphere is particularly strong, and there are still a few days before the end of the year, and all parts of the country have begun to be lively.

Because, starting from this year, the end of the year is called the "big year", and the beginning of the year is called the "Spring Festival", including a whole set of New Year's customs, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under a series of propaganda by the imperial court and the government.

To this end, the Di Bao Division specially printed a special issue, totaling 500,000 copies, and distributed it to all the people free of charge.

According to legend, in ancient times, Da Shun, the leader of the Chinese tribes, was the Son of Heaven on this day, leading the ministers and hundreds of officials to worship heaven and earth, so he called this day the head of the year, that is, the Spring Festival.

Of course, this is Yang Mu's deliberate propaganda, in fact, it is a symbolic meaning, the real ancient calendar has changed several times, and the beginning of the year has also changed and changed, but the cultural source of this day is real.

To build a culture, the easiest way is to start from the festival that is closely related to the lives of the people, the Spring Festival is only the first step, but also to prepare for Zen, the same cultural background, it is easier to accept, but also with a mysterious color, ordinary people will think that the Zen of the two countries are providential.

Culture needs to be awakened, and the common people also need to be educated.

The common people, whose thoughts are like blank pieces of paper, have almost no resistance to this kind of cultural indoctrination, especially since it is the instruction of His Majesty the Great Emperor, so they not only accept it all, but also take the initiative to explore it.

It has become a trend to regard the end of the year as the New Year, and the beginning of the year to become the Spring Festival.

Of course, the formation of culture is not formed overnight, the Chinese New Year culture is profound and vast, and it is impossible to have a look in a short period of time, but it is also a model that has begun to take shape, and the current Zen foundation is enough.

……

In the second year of Taiding, on the first day of the first month, the Zen ceremony came as scheduled.

On both sides of the main street of Cangcheng, there are crowds of people, every three zhang distance, there are two guards standing guard on the left and right.

The Qinglong army was ordered to enter the city, from the city gate to the palace gate, and the guards were strict.

Zheng Kang, Emperor of Zheng State, and Shen Zifu, Emperor of Shen State, led a group of ministers and hundreds of officials, wearing dragon robes, sitting in chariots, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, into Cangcheng.

The teams of the two countries were combined, countless royal personnel, and a cart of gifts, like a long dragon, causing the people of Cangcheng to wait and see.

From the beginning of entering the city, the emperors of the two countries and many ministers and children of the imperial family all walked down the road, and the eunuchs on the left and right held plates covered with brocade cloths, which contained seals.

The palace door was wide open, and hundreds of officials of Cangguo went to court.

A eunuch, holding a holy decree in his hand, stood on the tower of the palace and read the edict.

Then, the rest of the courtiers and retinue all knelt outside the palace, and the two emperors led the accompanying eunuchs into the palace.

Under the operation of the Ministry of Rites, the atmosphere of the entire outer court was solemn, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court worshipped.

After a while, the ceremonial music was played, and a big bell rang on the palace floor.

An old man in a dark official uniform, holding a silk book, sang: "Ji! ”

"Ji-" The ministers should be peaceful.

Yang Mugao sat on the dragon chair, sat upright, and said: "Xuan two monarchs." ”

"Xuan, Zheng Kang, Emperor Zheng of Zheng, and Shen Zifu, Emperor of Shen State, entered the palace to meet ——"

"Xuan, Zheng Kang, Emperor Zheng of Zheng, and Shen Zifu, Emperor of Shen State, entered the palace to meet ——"

"Xuan, Zheng Kang, Emperor Zheng of Zheng, and Shen Zifu, Emperor of Shen State, entered the palace to meet ——"

……

A total of nine sounds, spread to the outside of the palace, the two emperors under the leadership of the eunuchs, into the palace.

"Zheng Kang (Shen Zifu) visited His Majesty the Emperor of Cangguo, and may His Majesty live forever and live a long life-" The emperors of the two countries gave up.

Yang Mu smiled on his face, raised his hand and said, "Two kings, please get up." ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the foreign minister can't afford it."

"What?"

"I beg your Majesty, accept the territory of our country, bless all my people, please work with the affairs of the state."

"You wait for the two countries, the ancestors have been kings for generations, how can it be child's play? I don't. ”

"Heaven has longevity, Lu has an end, and when the sky is right, it should be attached."

"However, the country is the country of kings and ministers and all peoples, and I dare not accept it."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, heaven and earth are attached, and subjects are dependent, and you should receive this country."

"There is no warning in the sky, there is nothing for the people to ask, and I can't bear it."

"The ancient sages said that the world is big, there is virtue and dwelling, the foreign ministers are ashamed, the injustices can not be ignored, and the officials can not be forbidden, and the light use of manpower, repairing the palace, in and out of the festival, joy and anger are too bad...... If there is no virtue and anger goes to heaven, that is, when it conforms to the heavens, it will be attached to the country, and the people will be happy, as shown by the mandate of heaven. ”

"The ancients said that the heavens give the Buddha to take, but suffer the blame, since the destiny of heaven is in me, how dare I shirk, I must be exhausted, the upper is worthy of the sky, the lower is not the people, and when the time comes, Zir is ordained."

"Good, from now on, state affairs will be entrusted to Your Majesty, I will thank you!"

The emperors of the two countries stood, and the eunuchs on either side each held a scroll of edicts in their hands and read them outside the hall.

"When the sky is right, Emperor Zheng Changuo's edict said: Zheng ancestors for nine generations, since the founding of the country, the society has been ruined, fortunately thanks to the spirit of the ancestors, the danger and survival. However, looking up at astronomy and looking down on the hearts of the people, Zheng Yun's number is over, and his luck depends on the sky. The trip of the husband's avenue, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, the ancient virtuous monarch Zen let, the fame is infinite. I envy and admire, now it is chasing its canon, Zen country in the sky, according to the will of heaven. ”

"Qin obeys the mandate of heaven, and the edict of Emperor Shen Chan said: The Shen family established the country, one hundred and eighty, the suffering of all the people, and the sin of the royal family. There is an omen in the sky, and in the middle of the emperor's pole, one person is wanton, only inheriting the order of the heavens, and following the discipline. Emperor Cangguo, Xun Mao is in the hundred emperors, the Tao is clear for all generations, and it is solid to match the sky, and the sun and the moon are also bright. Although I am mediocre, dark in the avenue, forever reverent, for a long time, dare not forget the high righteousness of the sages, now Zen country in the sky, with the will of the sky. ”

After reading it to the palace, the eunuch went to the city tower with the holy decree in his hand to read it.

Four please three resignations, three resignations and edicts are not allowed, the fourth time to accept the Zen concession, and then the Zen edict, in front of the civil and military officials and the people, very formal edict to the Zen country.

In the blink of an eye, a whole set of processes has gone through more than half of the process and entered the last link.
