Chapter Eighty-Four: The Mansion and the Crown
Out of the first and crown ceremony
………………………
On the second day, the morning sun dewed, and the light rose in the east, shooting down from the glazed eaves of the temple corner, and in the courtyard, Zhao Dezhao was dressed in white, holding a shiny bronze sword in his hand, practicing swordsmanship outside the dormitory.
Zhao Dezhao is like a swordsman, his white clothes are like snow, like the sky full of feathers, and the black hair is flying, commensurate with the white clothes, forming a strong contrast of beauty, like snow like a song. The jade pendant on the neck shines in the light. He danced the long sword in his hand nimbly, changing his movements from time to time, like a spirit ape, a snake, and a flying crane...... Brisk walking.
At this time, Zhang Dejun, the head of the inner chamberlain, came over and saw that King Wei was practicing swords in the courtyard, and he stood aside and waited.
Zhao Dezhao caught a glimpse of Zhang Dejun coming over from the corner of his eye, so he stopped practicing his sword and said, "Zhang Daguan [the honorific title for eunuchs in the Song Dynasty], have something to find Xiao Wang?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin ordered the chamberlain Zhang Dejun to go to the harem dormitory to summon Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, into his palace, at this time he entered the palace of the king of Wei, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the official family summons, please go to the Funing Hall quickly." ”
Zhao Dezhao wiped his sweat, handed the long sword in his hand to Xiao Guizi, took the dry sweat towel in Xiao Guizi's hand to wipe his face, and then asked, "Zhang Daguan, did your father say what happened?" ”
Zhang Dejun said: "The official family just asked the old slave about His Royal Highness's birthday, but he didn't say anything else?" ”
Zhao Dezhao secretly thought about why his father summoned him for no reason, it must be an important thing, there is no early dynasty today, he was originally going to leave the palace, since his father summoned him, he responded: "I see, Zhang Daguan waited for me to change my clothes, and then went to see the driver." ”
Zhao Dezhao took off his sweaty clothes, and hastily wiped his body with a hot towel from the palace maid Cui'er, and the palace maid Cui'er turned her head embarrassedly. Zhao Dezhao didn't like people to serve very much, so he did it himself, changed into a black round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, and wore a veil hat, this set of clothes also fits more well, which is the dress of men in the Tang Dynasty. After changing clothes, Zhao Dezhao hurriedly followed behind Zhang Dejun and went to Funing Palace.
Zhao Dezhao is not his father, why did the emperor summon him at the first time, he asked Zhang Dejun, Zhang Dejun only said that the official family mentioned the age of King Wei's thousand-year-old, Zhao Dezhao knew something about what happened, so he hurried to the Funing Palace.
Along the way, Zhao Dezhao was thinking about what happened next, because he clearly remembered that when the prince of the Song Dynasty went out of the cabinet, the emperor needed to officially issue an edict and hold a ceremony.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the opening of the palace and the placement of the foreign court were the three political rights of the prince after leaving the cabinet.
Going out is to handle the inner palace to live in his own mansion, which Zhao Dezhao has long wanted to do, although he can sometimes leave the palace during the day, but the sun sets and must return to the palace, otherwise the palace will be closed at night, and entering the palace will alarm the emperor.
The opening of the government is to set up subordinate bureaucrats, which he could only cultivate cronies in secret, raise the dead, and operate things through the secret line of Changchun Hall Flying Sparrows, and now he can openly recruit a few subordinates who are among the officials of the imperial court.
Out of the court means that he can participate in the court meeting, which Zhao Dezhao has long enjoyed, in the early years of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he was already in the court, but in history, Zhao Kuangyin did not crown himself as the vassal king, and did not let himself and Zhao Defang participate in government affairs, which also led to Zhao Dezhao's weak strength, after the death of Zhao Kuangyin, in the face of the full-fledged, fifteen years in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, and the ambitious imperial uncle Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, had no power to fight back. Now that he is in the rank of the twelfth rank of the prince [Wang Heiwang County, Wang Guogong County, Open Country, Open Country, County Open Country, Open Country, County Open Country, Open Country, Founding Prince, Founding Son, Founding Son, Founding Male], he is a little surprised.
After being out of the foreign government, you can justifiably enjoy the right to go out of the outer court.
Zhao Dezhao thought so, and had already followed Zhang Dejun to the Funing Palace.
In the Funing Palace, Zhao Kuangyin asked about Zhao Dezhao's birthday last night, and thought about it all night, now Zhao Dezhao is fifteen years old, from the Jianlong period to the King of Liang, the second year of Qiande as the King of Wei, at this time should also go out of the palace to give the mansion, open the mansion and place officials, and have their own guard of honor (Zhao Dezhao is out of the cabinet in 964 in history).
There was no court meeting early this morning, so Zhao Kuangyin urgently ordered Zhang Dejun to summon him to the palace of King Wei, because he knew that once Zhao Dezhao did not have a court meeting, he would leave the palace at the end of the day, and if he was late, he would go to find someone outside the palace.
Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon couch, and when he saw Zhang Dejun followed by King Wei, he raised his head and found that he was obviously much taller than before, far as tall as a twenty-year-old youth, and he said happily: "Zhao'er, I haven't seen you for the past few days, but my father has seen you grow a lot taller." ”
"Daddy, it's funny." Zhao Dezhao stretched out his legs and arms, but he didn't find it, but he was stronger than before.
Zhao Kuangyin got up from the couch at this time, walked in front of Zhao Dezhao, and saw that his son's stature was almost as tall as himself.
"Zhao'er has grown so tall." Zhao Kuangyin was very happy to see Zhao Dezhao, who was as tall as himself, but then sighed, "Zhao'er, when my father was your age, he went out to go on a tour and wanted to throw himself into the world's forces, but now he has become the king of a country, which is unbelievable." Zhao'er is now sixteen, and you have grown up little by little as a father over the years, and you have your own unique insights and achievements in government affairs and military affairs. ”
"Thank you dad for your praise, if you are not the same today, your sons, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, are willing to contribute their wisdom to the Great Song Dynasty."
"This ......" Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and groaned, his son is steady, decent, diligent, and abides by his duty, and all the things he has done over the years are considered for the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has the reputation of a virtuous king in the local and imperial courts, originally according to his current merits, the position of the prince belongs to him, but Zhao Kuangyin knows that in life, he must go through strong winds and waves before he can do it, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, the world has not yet been unified, everything must be done himself, and he also needs to set a benchmark for the pioneer, Praise to posterity.
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a long time, and finally said: "Since Zhao'er has grown up, his father must be in accordance with the court law and the clan etiquette system, and Zhao'er must be out of the house now, I don't know if Zhao'er understands as a father?" ”
Zhao Dezhao arched his hand, "Zhao'er is sixteen years old now, he has long been crowned king, according to the etiquette of the king, he should move to the palace outside the palace, and now he lives in the palace for a long time. It's just that I was established at the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, and the world has not yet been unified, and the five rites [auspicious and fierce army Binjia] are declining, and it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and Kuang Zheng's etiquette law can also be set up for the people of the world. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was pleased with his son, who could understand his intentions, but also made himself a little ashamed, he said: "Zhao'er can think like this, I am ashamed of my father, and I will announce this matter to the ministers of the court at the court meeting tomorrow." ”
"Everything obeys my father's edict." The first thing to do is the obligation of the prince to be the king, Zhao Dezhao is afraid of trouble, and what Zhao Kuangyin did today is exactly what he wants.
……
Next, Zhao Kuangyin asked the officials of the Zhizhi system to draft the edict of the King of Wei to go out to the palace, which was personally inspected by the emperor and sent to the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and then sent to the Zongzheng Temple...... Stamped with various seals.
At the court meeting the next day, Zhao Kuangyin announced in court that he would be the supervisor [the construction of the palace of the prince of the Northern Song Dynasty was responsible for the general as the supervisor, and the Southern Song Dynasty was responsible for the transfer of the Lin'an Mansion] to build the Wei Wangfu outside the inner city, and live together with other mansions of the Qin Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu, and called the "good relatives" house [Li Xinchuan Overview: The story of the Eastern Capital, the clans are all built to live in large rooms, and the nine queens of Taizu Taizong are called good relatives].
Then the Taishi Bureau selected a good day and an auspicious day, and sent it to the mansion by those who were in charge of the clan and above, and gave the royal feast, and gave 5,000 horses of silver and silk money, and the officials of the palace gave the first support;
The king of Wei lived in the mansion outside the palace, and the general was in charge of the superintendent, according to the prince's system, and after the construction of the Wei palace was completed, he moved to the palace of the king of Wei.
Moved to the Wei Palace, from now on, Zhao Dezhao will no longer be able to live in the palace. However, in this way, it will be much more convenient for him to do things, and he will be restricted in the palace, unless he is the prince, but the prince also has the difficulties of the prince, and he is always supervised by the court officials, and other vassal kings will also stare at their positions, presumably Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, is one of them.
……
In the past few days, since I knew that the emperor had issued an edict to order the king of Wei to go out, some scholars and doctors in the imperial court had been abolished for a long time because of the crown ceremony, the invasion of foreign Buddhas, and the ritual law was no longer what it was back then...... Etiquette should chase three generations, the meaning of today, and the Song Dynasty is the Central Plains Huabang, everything is done according to the ceremony, and it is advocated to revive the crown wedding and funeral sacrifices and other rituals in the Great Song Dynasty.
In the end, the emperor Zhao Kuangyin agreed to stamp the crown ceremony, on the day of the crown ceremony, Zhao Kuangyin Yuwende Palace, hundreds of officials in the throne, standing in order, the emperor ordered the official to pass the official and the secretary of the house, Dr. Taichang to lead the crown and praise the crown in place.
Zhao Dezhao stood in the main hall, then knelt on his knees, and the officials who performed the ceremonial ceremony were crowned one after another. One into the fold of the scarf, plus seven beam crowns, three plus nine crowns,
After the three plus salutes, Zhao Dezhao went to the east room and changed into court clothes and took place. The official of the ceremony and other people who led the crown to Zhao Dezhao took the place to read the edict: the year of Yunji, the prestige of Kong, the announcement of the word, the gentleman is appropriate, Shun Er Chengde, Yongyan Baozhi, Feng Yi Zi.
When the word of fate, with "Rixin" as Zhao Dezhao's word, Zhao Dezhao added a crown ceremony [the earliest record of the crown ceremony in the Song Dynasty began in the Song Zhenzong period], after the crown ceremony, Zhao Dezhao also complied with the etiquette law, and after the mansion was completed, he moved to the mansion.
