Chapter 333: The Enthronement Ceremony of the Emperor of Little Japan
Although he drove away Kang Youwei, his words made Wang Yongan so angry that he couldn't sleep, and then sat up angrily, muttering: "Old man Kang, it's not a pity to die, it's not a pity to die!" ā
Wang Yongan didn't fall asleep, naturally Xiao Xiaoyue didn't sleep either, seeing that he was anxious, he comforted: "Jingyun, why do you have to be angry with him, this person is not enough to achieve and more than to lose, if you think about him too much, it seems that you can't tolerate people, and you are a child."

Wang Yongan said: "I just can't get used to this kind of person, slut!" Do you know what a person like him is, he is a broom star, whoever is with him is unlucky, Emperor Guangxu trusts him, how about it? Imprisoned by Cixi. What if overseas Chinese trust him? He cheated all the money, and now he has fooled me, which is really hateful. ā
Xiao Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "You drove him away, are you still angry?" Otherwise, how about sending someone to beat him up to relieve his anger? Isn't Huo Diange's martial arts unparalleled in the world, let him beat Kang Youwei fiercely, and see if he dares to provoke my husband. ā
"Am I that bored?" Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh.
"So, don't think about him too much." Xiao Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the enthronement ceremony, no matter how you say that you also represent the official Chinese government, don't shudder, do you want to put on your court clothes?" ā
Wang Yongan has a set of second-grade military attache court uniforms, simple lions, with red flag flowers and corals, wearing one-eyed flowers, but Wang Yongan has never worn this dress, except for military uniforms, he will only wear suits or horse coats and civilian clothes. Maybe it was because Wang Yongan watched Lin Zhengying and Lin Daxia's zombie movies too much in the same year, which caused him to wear the Qing Dynasty official mansion and have a kind of foot jumping with his feet together and his hands stretched out.
So he thought about it for a while and decided to wear a robe and a horse coat, after all, this time he represents China, and it doesn't look good in a suit, and the robe and horse coat are also the most commonly worn services for Chinese people.
The two of them didn't feel conscious, so they got up and picked out their clothes, and Xiao Xiaoyue chose a light blue robe and horse coat for him, decorated with a sail, which made him feel a little more comfortable. Wang Yongan said to Xiao Xiaoyue, I was angry today, it seems that I have to vent my anger, you have to help me. Xiao Xiaoyue glared at him with silky eyes, and said that she had known that you were not well-intentioned, okay, okay, don't be tired of you.
The two of them tossed and turned for an hour before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Wang Yongan heard a report before he woke up, it turned out that the Qing court sent the Minister of the Navy Zaixun to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Taisho.
Zaixun originally thought that Wang Yongan would take the initiative to visit him, but instead of Wang Yongan taking the initiative to visit him, Kang Youwei ran to Zaixun and cried that Wang Yongan spoke ill of him.
Who would have thought that Zaixun listened to Kang Youwei's rumors about the merger of China and Japan, and when he went up, he gave him a big mouth and directly beat Kang Youwei. Zaixun was very happy to learn that Wang Yongan drove Kang Youwei away, although Wang Yongan did not take the initiative to visit him, but it can be seen from Wang Yongan's drive away Kang Youwei that Wang Yongan is loyal to my Qing Dynasty, and Wang Yongan is really the pillar of my Qing Dynasty.
In order to win over the pillar of the country, Zaixun decided to turn it in, and did not hesitate to visit Wang Yongan at the thatched house.
"Well, why can't you let me be quiet for a while?" Wang Yongan was full of complaints and had to change his clothes to greet Zai Xun, the two hypocritically politely for a while, Zai Xun went straight to the point and asked Wang Yongan about his attitude towards the imperial court. Wang Yongan said bluntly: "The country must make changes, and the imperial cabinet has played tricks on the gentry of the world, which has caused today's national riots." ā
Zaixun looked embarrassed, but he had to admit that the imperial cabinet really made the Han gentry feel cold, it can be said that the royal family also "unevenly distributed the spoils", and they were not happy to remove any of them, and in the end they could only sink the boat on which everyone was going and drown.
Wang Yongan saw that he was embarrassed, but he didn't say anything more, and after a while, Zaixun asked: "What does the general think of the chaotic party in the south?" ā
Wang Yongan laughed and said, "You are testing me, do you have any anti-Qing intentions?" ā
Zaixun was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Yongan to be so direct, but he was a little worried, he looked left and right, all of them were Wang Yongan's subordinates, and the reason why Wang Yongan was able to run rampant in the Americas was because of these fierce generals, if they killed themselves here...... Zaixun was in a cold sweat, I didn't expect to die here today, there is a way to catch a turtle in the tiger's mouth urn, I am the stupid turtle, and I have no defense.
Wang Yongan didn't think so much, but sighed and said: "You can rest assured, I will not oppose the Qing Dynasty, with my 100,000 Jiangbei army, the chaotic party in the south will not be able to cross the Huai River." He sneered in his heart, he didn't need to oppose the Qing Dynasty, with Yuan Shikai forcing the palace, why should he be the first bird.
Jae-xun relieved himself and left satisfied. As soon as he left, the generals surrounded him, and Wang Yongan smiled: "I'm afraid that now, Jingshi has been taken down by my father-in-law, everyone, let's go back and prepare early, don't be someone else picking up peaches, we can't even pick up sesame seeds." ā
"Hahaha......" the generals laughed.
The enthronement ceremony of the Japanese emperor was prosperous and complicated, and from the first day, Crown Prince Kahito (who was not allowed to become emperor until he ascended the throne) rewarded the world and selected hundreds of young men, all of whom were the children and grandchildren of ministers or officials, to eat state banquets, both to cultivate their sense of allegiance to the imperial family and to show that they were the future of Japan. Since the emperors of Japan have a long lifespan, the young people who are lucky enough to enter the palace can be said to be very lucky, and they are excited to dedicate their all to the imperial family.
After the state banquet, the teenagers began a vigil with lanterns in hand to wait for the birth of the emperor.
At dawn, the sun rises, Kagura performs, and dignitaries begin to take their seats, with Japanese officials entering in traditional costumes and foreign guests generally entering in costumes representing their home countries. There are only two people who enter the palace on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, Zaixun is wearing official uniforms, and Wang Yongan is wearing a robe and horse coat, one of them represents the Qing royal family, and the other represents the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Under some tragic Japanese kagura performances, everyone came to their seats with solemn expressions and unsmiling.
Immediately afterwards, the bearer of the righteous object was the first to enter the inner hall of the palace, and then relied on the soldiers to take their positions.
At this time, Kahito, dressed in a white silk ritual costume, accompanied by court ladies and canonical officials, entered the shrine hall centered on three wooden buildings to interpret the myth that the emperor's ancestors came from the heavenly plateau.
After entering the shrine hall, Kahito began to bathe to purify his body. Then pass through the corridor and enter the Yuki Hall and the Main Base Hall - two thatched houses to the innermost. Here, there is a rectangular bed, a shrine and a throne waiting for his performance. The shrine is where the deity of the ancestor sun goddess Amaterasu is located. Kahito came to the bed, wrapped a quilt around his body, and curled up on the bed, united with the gods of Amaterasu.
In this way, the "marriage" with the divinity of the ancestors is symbolically completed.
After the "marriage", Kahito sat on his throne facing Amaterasu and offered food and drink to Amaterasu and other ancestral gods.
In this way, in the dark night, behind the thick and tight curtain, the emperor completed the process of apotheosis. From then on, the emperor was not only an emperor descended by his ancestors by blood, but also a demigod who was given divinity by his ancestors after a visit from Amaterasu.
This mysterious and awe-inspiring process is not to be attended by anyone other than the priests and attendants. Even royalty and dignitaries are not allowed to enter. This is because, the fewer people you see, the less rational doubt there is. The unknown adds to the mystery, and the mystery is more majestic, and this is how the authority of the Emperor Shinto was established.
"The seat in the depths of the temple is mysterious in the origin of the mystery, and there is no reason to worship in awe. The mysterious temple should not be watched. ā
At this time, the Japanese veteran and prime minister Saionji Gongwang officially read the holy decree, and Crown Prince Kahito was inaugurated as the 123rd emperor of the Japanese Empire.
The whole process lasted for a day, and no one was allowed to eat, and they had to wait for sunset when Yoshihito was officially inaugurated as emperor and the guests could eat.
