In the Xuanzheng Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace, the drums were noisy, and Li Yuan was wearing a full set of emperor's dresses and the emperor's twenty-four crowns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sat on the dragon seat with a smile on his face. And Li Jiancheng was wearing a full body emperor dress, the only difference was that he did not wear the emperor's crown on his head, and walked towards Li Yuan step by step, when Li Jiancheng walked in front of Li Yun, he knelt down to Li Yuan respectfully, Li Yuan said to the waning moon:

"Waning Moon, let's start now!" Wanyue nodded:

"The enthronement ceremony begins, and the crown is crowned!" Under the shout of the waning moon, Li Jiancheng's personal eunuch Mingyu brought a crown (the crown is mainly composed of a crown ring, a jade flute, a crown, a crown, and an ear filler. Jade: A jade flute can be inserted in the middle of the button to fix the crown to the bun. Crown: The front and back sections of the silk are draped, and they are made of colorful beads with colorful silk threads, symbolizing that the king has seen and seen. The number of the number depends on the identity of the wearer, there are three, five, seven, nine, twelve, with twelve is the most noble, is the emperor's exclusive use. The Tang Dynasty was restructured and used twenty-four. Crown: Also written as 綖, the top of the wooden board, also known as the crown board, the extension board, black on the top and red on the bottom, the front circle and the back, symbolizing the meaning of the sky and the round. The back should be one inch higher than the front, so that it is inclined forward, that is, there is a forward bow, symbolizing that the king should care for the people, hence the name of the crown.

Zhen: It is a colored silk that hangs on both sides of the extension and is used for suspension. Tianhe Belt: A two-finger-wide red ribbon hanging down from the crown plate, the length can hang down to the lower body. The Tianhe belt began to appear in the Qin Dynasty at the latest, and its verifiable style mostly appeared in paintings after the Sui and Tang dynasties (such as Yan Liben's "Emperors of the Past Dynasties"), and only in the Song Dynasty did it have a clear customization. When the Ming Dynasty restored the crown, the Tianhe belt was removed. There are six main styles of crowns: large crowns, crowns, crowns, crowns, crowns, crowns, and crowns, collectively known as the six crowns. The functions and shapes of the six types of crowns are different. Large Crown: Used for the Emperor's Worship of the Heavens. Crown: Used for emperors to worship their ancestors.

The number of crowns is different according to the weight of the ceremony and the identity of the person who takes it, according to the weight of the ceremony, the great crown of the Son of Heaven to worship God and the crown of the Son of Heaven are 12; The Son of Heaven enjoys the first public service crown with 9 pieces, and each piece of jade is 9 pieces; The Son of Heaven worships the mountains and rivers with 7 crowns, and each jade is 7 pieces; The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the shrine and wears five ritual clothes, with 5 pieces, 5 pieces of jade each; The Son of Heaven sacrificed to the group of small clothes Xuantiao, with 3 pieces, 3 pieces of jade each. According to the identity and status of the user, only the crown of the Son of Heaven uses 12 pieces, and each piece of jade is 12 pieces. Li Yuan pulled Li Jiancheng's jade flute out of the middle of the button, took the crown from Li Jiancheng's personal eunuch Mingyu, put the crown on Li Jiancheng's head, and inserted the jade flute from the middle of the button.

"Li Jiancheng, now that you have become the new emperor of Li Tang, in the future, the world of the Tang Dynasty will depend on you." Li Jiancheng nodded:

"The son will live up to his father's high expectations!" Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan gave Li Shentong a look, Li Shentong nodded, and held the jade seal of the country with both hands. Li Yuan respectfully put the heirloom jade seal into Li Jiancheng's hand, and Li Jiancheng stroked the heirloom jade seal - finally hold 'you' into my hands, from today on, I will immediately use the authority of the Son of Heaven. I'm going to make your mark cover all the land I can. Li Jiancheng held the jade seal of the country high above his head, and the father-in-law of the waning moon shouted:

"The ministers, clan relatives, noble relatives and civil and military, together to meet the new monarch. Mountain Hoo! "All the Li Tang civil and military officials present were under the leadership of Shangshu Ling Pei Lian, and Li Tang's clan relatives and nobles collectively paid homage to Li Jiancheng under the leadership of King Huai'an and Dazong Zheng Li Shentong.

"Ministers, see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Ministers and others see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Ministers and others see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! After all the officials and relatives of the imperial court paid their respects, Li Yuan flashed to the side and gave up the dragon seat, and Li Jiancheng officially sat on the dragon chair. Li Tang's civil and military officials and Li Tang's clan nobles continued to pay homage to Shanhu.

"Ministers, see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Ministers and others see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Ministers and others see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! In the call of Li Tang's civil and military officials and Li Tang's clan nobles to continue to visit the mountain. Li Yuan's heart swelled up with a kind of desolation, and Li Yuan's expression naturally did not hide from Li Jiancheng. Don't say that the current feudal society is the Celestial Empire in the future, and the number one leader of a department has retired all of a sudden. There is naturally desolation and decline in the heart, let alone an emperor. Li Jiancheng immediately stood up and helped Li Yuan to the dragon throne from the beginning:

"Ahh Built! This, this is absolutely unacceptable! Li Yuan excused himself, but he still looked at the dragon seat greedily! Li Jiancheng naturally knew Li Yuan's thoughts, and still helped Li Yuan to the dragon seat. Let Li Yuan sit down with peace of mind, after Li Yuan sat on it, his hands kept stroking the dragon on the dragon seat:

"Father, this chair was originally brought back by you with a knife and a shot. Now, you have passed on the throne to your son, but this chair should still be sat by you, the emperor! ”

"Jiancheng ......" Li Yuan's tears were about to fall again, and Li Jiancheng wiped his tears for Li Yuan.

"Someone! Transporting this dragon throne to Inju Palace. As soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, several eunuchs stepped forward and picked up the dragon chair and took it away:

"Be careful, this is a dragon chair, it is good to move, you must move this dragon chair to Renshou Palace!" After the dragon chair moved away, Li Jiancheng issued another order:

"Where is Pei Lonely?" Pei Lin heard Li Jiancheng shouting about himself, and immediately went out of class to listen to the order:

"Your Majesty, the minister's book ordered Pei to be silent!"

"Pei Lian, all the ministers present listen, I respect my father as the emperor today! Take Renshou Palace as the place where the Emperor Taishang is stationed! In addition, although my father abdicated as Emperor Taishang, you should remember that my father was the founding saint of our dynasty, and my father's words were oracles, and my words were oracles. Every day, the memorabilia sent from all over the country must also be sent to Renshou Palace for his father to read, in addition, the father is very old, and the government affairs of the court also need to be handled by important ministers. Where are Shang Shuling, Pei Lian, King Huai'an, and Dazong Zheng Li Shentong? Shang Shu ordered Pei Lian, King Huai'an, and Dazong Zheng Li Shentong to hear Li Jiancheng call the two of them. He immediately went out of work and replied:

"Your Majesty, the minister's book ordered Pei to be silent!"

"Your Majesty! King Huai'an, Dazong Zheng Li Shentong is here! ”

"I now appoint the two of you as the palace eunuchs of Renshou Palace, retain your position in the imperial court, be responsible for the emperor's food, clothing, and daily life, and help the emperor deal with the affairs of Xiangzan. Would you like to? After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Shang Shu Ling Pei Lian, King Huai'an, and Dazong Zheng Li Shentong knew in their hearts that this was Li Jiancheng trying his best to secretly exclude these old ministers from the power circle. As the folk saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is natural to transfer them, the old ministers of the former dynasty, to other places. But Pei Lin and Li Shentong's reactions were different. Pei Lin thought in his heart - hey! Although he was transferred out of the core of the imperial court, his title was retained, and he was still by Li Yuan's side, and it can be seen that Li Jiancheng is still full of filial piety to Li Yuan, plus his son Pei Kuan was originally a former minister of Li Jiancheng's original prince's East Palace, and he was originally in the officialdom for his descendants to continue to enjoy glory and wealth. You can't be too greedy, you can't know how to advance and retreat! Pei Lin immediately knelt down and obeyed the order. And Li Shentong was a little sad in his heart, but he was also a little happy - who wanted to stand on the wrong team at the beginning and support Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to compete for the crown prince! Now it's okay, now he has been driven by Li Jiancheng to Li Yuan's side, and he is a nominal right palace supervisor of Renshou Palace. However, it is a blessing in misfortune that he can still retain such a beautiful title, and that he and his brother's children and grandchildren can still be preserved. Li Jiancheng asked other civil and military officials and nobles and relatives of the imperial court:

"My father is lonely in Renshou Palace, I am really ashamed, I don't know which other Aiqing is willing to go to Renshou Palace to accompany the Emperor?" As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, there were Shangshu's left servant shooting Xiao Yu, Shangshu's right servant shooting Chen Shuda, secretary supervisor Feng Deyi, and Shangshu Wushi Yan of the Ministry of Industry came out of the class and said to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go to Renshou Palace with Lord Pei Lian, King Huai'an, and Prince Li Shentong of Dazongzheng to accompany the Emperor Taishang, share the worries of the Emperor, and praise government affairs." Li Yuan was even happier when he saw that the old ministers around him were willing to follow him, and his son was so filial. Li Yuan took Shangshu Ling Pei Lian, King Huai'an, Dazongzheng Li Shentong, Shangshu's left servant shot Xiao Yu, Shangshu's right servant shot Chen Shuda, secretary supervisor Feng Deyi, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Yan and others went to Renshou Palace with great joy, Li Jiancheng respectfully led the court officials, clan nobles all the way to Chang'an City. In the end, I reluctantly returned to Taiji Palace. Subsequently, Li Jiancheng issued an edict to change the name of the year to Yongshuo, and set next year as the first year of Yongshuo. and issued an order to pardon those officials in the world who were involved because of their struggle with Li Shimin and Li Yuanba. A new era has unfolded a new picture.

Attached, historical trivia: the process and treatment of Li Yuan's abdication, as well as the life of Emperor Taishang of Tang Ruizong Li Dan.

After Li Shimin took Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he ordered Wei Chi Jingde to seal off the palace and detain Li Yuan. and killed all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Led by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's old department in Chang'an, Feng Yi, Feng Li, Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche and others led the East Palace Guards and the Prince of Qi's personal soldiers to attack the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin almost couldn't resist, and later Wei Chi Jingde showed Li Yuan the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and forced Li Yuan to pull down from the dragon seat with a spear, and then Li Shimin in order to sell well in front of Li Yuan, and pretended to lick Li Yuan's chest rutou, when Li Yuan retreated to the emperor, he was still afraid of Li Yuan's restoration from time to time, imprisoned Li Yuan for almost seven or eight years. Li Yuan was not allowed to see anyone, and Li Yuan was released only after the Turks were pacified. The same treatment as Li Yuan is Li Yuan's great-grandson Tang Ruizong Li Dan, when Tang Ruizong Li Dan ceded the throne to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, but did not completely let go, and ordered the appointment of high-ranking officials above the third rank in the imperial court to be decided by Li Dan, but Li Longji was unwilling to lose power, killed Li Dan's sister Princess Taiping, and forced Li Dan to hand over the last power, compared to Li Shimin and Li Longji. Li Jiancheng's approach doesn't know how filial he is.

Ladies and gentlemen, happy Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night!
