The smoke and dust are billowing, the iron armor is sonorous, and the flags are unfurled, covering the sky and the sun.

Except for the tens of thousands of horsemen who were constantly surrounding the Temple of Heaven, the rest of the soldiers all stood straight on both sides after they came here, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

At the same time, the Chengtian, Fengtian and others of the Forbidden Imperial City opened one after another, and Wang Zheng did not wear the shiny armor this time, but walked out of the main gate in a yellow gown specially customized for himself.

This yellow gown follows the Ming system, although it has its own characteristics of the Qi army, but the mainstream is still the essence of the Han family's clothing, and the dragon pattern on it is lifelike, like the rising Chinese dragon, and the dragon robe of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai has a world of difference.

The surrounding soldiers of the forbidden army walked on both sides with red and yellow banners in their hands, and they did not wear the armor of the ordinary forbidden army, but changed into the silver iron armor specially equipped for the ceremony, and the end was shiny.

Wang Zheng's gown, each layer has strict production rules, in response to this, the staff office has even issued relevant policies, if anything goes wrong on the day of the enthronement ceremony, the officials in charge will be killed.

Although the rules are strict, they ensure that what is made is often the finest.

Now Wang Zheng is wearing this heavenly sacrifice robe, which is well-cut, beautiful and luxurious, and exudes the ninety-five supreme majesty of the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Empire from head to toe.

The officials who had been waiting in front of each gate for a long time were dressed in brand new court clothes, and under the guidance of the officials of the "Honglu Temple" in the previous dynasty, they walked out through the Jinshui Bridge and followed behind the ranks of the forbidden army.

They came to the Temple of Heaven, which had long been crowded with people, knelt on both sides of the imperial road in the way of "Wendong Wuxi", and respectfully waited for the emperor of the new dynasty to walk up to the Temple of Heaven and communicate with the gods and goddesses to complete the ceremony.

When they reached the bottom of the Temple of Heaven, everyone stopped moving, and the Mongolian cavalry, in order to show respect for the emperor of the Central Plains, turned over and dismounted, drew a circle in the air with his right hand, and bent his waist to the ground.

The Dutch cavalry was similar, and after dismounting, they presented gifts to the officials in charge on behalf of the Netherlands, indicating the intention of establishing diplomatic relations with the emerging Eastern Empire.

At this time, Wang Zheng could neither ride in various chariots nor ride horses, but only on foot.

This Temple of Heaven is not the Temple of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty that has survived in modern times, but in order to save time, the original Yongle Emperor's altar in the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt into an altar of heaven dedicated to the Emperor of Daqi.

Hundreds of steps are laid around the Temple of Heaven, symbolizing Wang Zheng's journey to the sky step by step.

There are seven groups of gods at the top of the Temple of Heaven, each group of gods is built with azure satin to form a god, the north side of the upper circle stone is set up on the main seat, the emperor God tablet, and its god is a polygonal cone.

The east and west sides of the second layer of the altar face are subordinate, the sun, moon, stars and clouds, rain, wind and thunder tablets, the god is rectangular, and a large number of offerings such as jade, silk and whole ox, whole sheep, whole pig and wine, fruit, dishes are placed in front of the god seat.

On the south side of the upper circle center stone, there are more than 700 pieces of sacrificial utensils and various ritual utensils used on the celebration case, which is also an indispensable link, and it is not the will of Wang Zheng who can change the view.

Wang Zheng's sacrificial seat is located in the south of the upper and middle two platforms, and on the east and west sides of the south steps of the Temple of Heaven, and there are 16 kinds of chimes, bells, bells, and bells, and more than 60 pieces of musical instruments to form Zhonghe Shao music.

The servants wore all kinds of dresses, and after arranging them neatly, they waited for Wang Zheng to reach the top like those civil and military ministers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers below, and the eyes were solemn and magnificent.

On the steps of the Temple of Heaven, with every step, Wang Zheng's heart became more and more calm, although there was chaos below, but at the same time it seemed very quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally got to the top.

Wang Zheng walked to the throne of the Lord Emperor, took out the family heirloom steel knife that had been belt around his waist for many years, and even had some gaps, took one last look, and inserted it into the crack of the stone with all his strength.

This knife symbolizes Wang Zheng's many years of conquest career, leaving it on the Temple of Heaven, and it is also a farewell ceremony for Wang Zheng to his former self, which is of great significance.

Immediately after, Wang Zheng turned around, picked up the pure gin glass that had been prepared by someone in front of the god throne a long time ago, looked at the people as big and small as ants under his feet, and slowly poured the water down.

"Sacrifice the souls and martyrs of my three armies!"

After shouting these words, Cao Huachun, the chief administrator of the inner house, in order to avoid the embarrassment that most of the people below could not hear, trotted and stood at the bottom of the Temple of Heaven, and read out Wang Zheng's edict to the civil and military ministers and soldiers who came to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

"I am the king of China, and I have come to an end since the dawn of fortune. China is the lord of the world, passed on to future generations, more than 100 years, and this fortune is also over. The territory of the sea, there are groups of strife, there are barbarians to occupy Liao, I am the common people, the favor of the heavens, the spirit of the ancestors, so the mandate of heaven starts in Shandong, the autumn of the deer, to the heroes and sages in the left and right..."

“... I started in the poor land of Shandong, and so far, all the provinces of the Central Plains such as Huguang and Henan, the coastal Zheng family, the provinces south of the Yangtze River and the counties in the southwest have been barbarian, and the generals and colonels of our three armies have worked hard to show their might, and the four sides have been settled, and the sea is peaceful, so that the people are safe and the fields are in peace, and the world is ......"

“... Today, the civil and military ministers and workers are persuaded to advance, respect me as the emperor, take the lord Qianli, follow the three invitations of the people, I am the mandate of heaven, and I must not shirk, and in the first month of the second year of Lu Jian, I will sacrifice heaven and earth in the north of Taihang, that is, the emperor is located in the southern suburbs..."

“... There must be the name of the world called Daqi, Jianyuan Zhangwu, Gong built the ancestral temple, posthumously respected the four generations of Kaoyu as the emperor and queen, respected the mother Wang Liu as the queen mother, established the Great Shrine in Yanjing, canonized his wife Yu as the queen, and established Shiziyi as the crown prince,

Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. ”

After saying this, those below, whether they understood it or not, whether they could hear it or not, raised their scimitars and their muskets and cheered loudly.

At the same time, Lu Jingrong, who was in Shengjing, Huangyang, who was in Nanjing, and even Xing Yidao, who was ordered to pacify the Tusi in the southwest, were all looking at the direction of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing from the top of the city.

Behind them, there were countless Great Qi soldiers stationed in various places, they were almost on their knees at the same moment, and this roar was like a heat wave, sweeping the world like a tsunami.

"Long live Emperor Zhangwu of Great Qi!"

"Long live Emperor Zhangwu of Great Qi!"

"Long live Emperor Zhangwu of Great Qi!"

This voice has endured for a long time, and even the entire city of Beijing can be heard clearly.

Everyone who heard it was smiling, happy for this new and prosperous dynasty, and happy that they would finally have a stable home.

......

At the end of the sacrifice, after Wang Zheng came down from the Temple of Heaven, he entered the "Imperial Palace" and took his seat.

Only then did the civil and military ministers under the jurisdiction of Daqi enter according to their official rank and congratulate the new emperor, and then, Cao Huachun read the edict in the court again, confirming the identity of Wang Zheng and the establishment of Daqi.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Huachun read out the edict of Emperor Zhangwu Wang Zheng to canonize the crown prince of Daqi and the empress and empress dowager of Daqi, and all the ministers and officials congratulated one by one.

The glorious Great Qi Empire began, and the ceremony was determined from then on, and the subsequent accession to the throne by the Great Qi Emperor largely followed this set of rules.

Of course, this is a matter for later, so I won't mention it for now.
