The Taihe Palace, as a place for various ceremonies in the Ming and Qing dynasties, has been renovated today, just like a newly built palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The palace has changed from the decadence of the past, people inside and outside are shouting, and the ministers and guards are constantly running back and forth.

On the second day of the second lunar month, the enthronement ceremony of the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire was held today.

The new capital has not yet been completed, and even the construction has not yet begun, but the enthronement ceremony cannot be delayed, and it is reasonable to say that the enthronement ceremony will be held within a month after the establishment of the new state, but in order to choose an auspicious day, it has been postponed to this day.

The process of enthronement ceremonies for ancient emperors also had some different differences according to different dynasties, but it was generally divided into seven steps.

They are the promulgation of the edict and the enthronement ceremony on the chosen day. Amnesty to the world. Enthronement by edict. The jade seal of the country. The musicians in the palace played, and received the worship of hundreds of officials and the congratulations of the four directions. Worship the temple, the shrine and the people.

It often takes a whole day to complete the whole process.

Wang Sirui intends to simplify the process of ascending the throne, but the officials below do not recommend it, after all, an emperor only has one enthronement ceremony, and the process must be there.

As the founding emperor, Wang Sirui can omit the process of promulgating the edict in the first step, the second step has actually already begun, the day is chosen today, and the dragon robe or something has already been prepared, as for the amnesty of the world, although this step has not changed, but the content has been changed beyond recognition by Wang Sirui, and the order has also changed to the second step.

In general, the new enthronement ceremony is divided into six steps: promulgating the edict of enthronement, passing on the jade seal of the country, granting amnesty to the world, accepting the congratulations of the hundred officials and the four directions, offering sacrifices to the temple, the society and the people, and then the six steps of conferring meritorious service.

In other words, the process of the enthronement ceremony is not static, perhaps in the next generation of emperors, these etiquettes will change back, only because this is the founding emperor ascending the throne, so it will be changed according to Wang Sirui's meaning.

Today, the capital, large and small, as long as it is a high-grade official, all appear in the palace, which is also the first time that the Chinese Empire has gone to court.

In the past, I always thought that every time the court was a large and small official, but in fact it was not the case, the court was divided into a large dynasty and a small dynasty, and the dynasty was held once a year, that is, all the officials with grades in the capital went to the court.

Of course, in addition to some first-grade ministers, these people also need to go to the court once a week, not every day, in case of emergency, the first-grade minister can meet the emperor at any time.

Wang Sirui was dressed in a dragon robe, and he was fiddled like a puppet under the costumes of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, which was very uncomfortable, but he was a little helpless, he had to accept such etiquette.

Although he is the emperor and has the power of life and death to dominate the world, in terms of etiquette, even if Wang Sirui is angry, he can't change the minds of those ministers.

What's more, in the new law, Wang Sirui put the rite in the first place, and the ministers used this rite to fight against Wang Sirui.

As for those palace maids and eunuchs, they actually stayed in the palace to serve and supervise the royal family, and after the abdication of the Qing Emperor, most of them were dismissed and returned to their hometowns, leaving only a small number of people.

And after today, these remaining palace maids and eunuchs will also be repatriated to their hometowns, and in the laws of the Chinese Empire, the existence of palace maids and eunuchs is not allowed.

"Your Majesty, after you put on the crown, you can't turn your head left and right at will, this will lose your might." A eunuch cautiously reminded Wang Sirui that in fact, he was also helpless, the prince would receive training in this area before, so he naturally knew what to do, but where did Wang Sirui receive this kind of training? He was comfortable moving back and forth, but if the ministers in charge felt that it was not good to do so, they would definitely make trouble for him in the end.

"Haven't you started yet?" Wang Sirui was a little unhappy and said, this thing is actually very unreasonable, wearing it on his head not only makes him unable to move, but even affects his vision, sitting there and swaying back and forth, how much effort does it take? Wang Sirui already felt a little dizzy, if this was dangling, it was estimated that it would be a problem to walk later.

Thinking of this, Wang Sirui couldn't help but think of the scene in a TV series in the later generations, where an emperor felt very unhappy, so he tied the vertical beads on the crown with a small stick so that the beads would not move.

But Wang Sirui didn't plan to do that, if he really wanted to do that, it would probably make people laugh off their big teeth.

"Are you ready?" Wang Shizhen hurriedly walked to the rear and asked a eunuch.

"Your Excellency, you're all ready."

"Well, you go and inform the emperor to come, and the enthronement ceremony will start immediately." Wang Shizhen continued.

After staying with Yuan Shikai for nearly three months, Wang Shizhen was finally released by Wang Sirui, of course, in addition to Wang Shizhen, Yuan Shikai also left the deep house.

With the ascension of the new emperor to the throne, Yuan Shikai finally accepted Wang Sirui's invitation, because at this time, Wang Sirui's prestige in the world has reached its peak, the civil strife has stopped, and the benevolent government of the imperial court is also benefiting every people.

Unless Yuan Shikai can defeat the world's powerhouses and give the people a better life, otherwise, Yuan Shikai will not be able to threaten Wang Sirui's position in this life.

It is precisely for this reason that Yuan Shikai decided to leave the courtyard where he had been staying for three years, accepted Wang Sirui's invitation, and became a member of the new court.

Yuan Shikai is very smart, he knows when he should re-emerge, and he also knows when he should not come out.

"Lord Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time...... Some court ministers couldn't help but be a little shocked after seeing Yuan Shikai, and then stepped forward to greet him.

The person who greeted Yuan Shikai was the old man of the previous dynasty, but his status was not high at that time, and after the Han army occupied the capital, he took refuge in them as soon as possible, so he would have the qualifications to stand in the court.

Before the establishment of the Chinese Empire, these people defected to the Han army, and after the Han army had screened their qualifications, if there was no problem, they would continue to be retained, and if the problem was particularly serious, they would choose to deal with it secretly.

Although Wang Sirui attaches great importance to the training of officials, how many qualified officials can be trained in less than three years?

In other words, Wang Sirui only has two choices left, either to use these officials of the previous dynasty, or to choose to cultivate them himself, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how to choose.

Wang Sirui chose the first way, one is to appease people's hearts, and the other is to avoid the government's lack of success, and at the same time to avoid the phenomenon of young people with high power.

"Lord Qiu has been in the limelight recently, compared to Lord Qiu, Yuan is extremely reluctant to stand here today." Yuan Shikai responded with a smile.

"Where did Lord Yuan say, over the years, Lord Yuan has come up with a lot of ideas for His Majesty, and has cultivated Lord Wang, General Duan and General Feng for His Majesty, with this merit alone, no one here can match Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan is humble." Master Qiu hurriedly complimented.

Yuan Shikai's matter, the outside world really doesn't know much about the details, and Wang Sirui always goes to Yuan Shikai every once in a while to sit there.

Therefore, the outside world also subconsciously believes that Yuan Shikai is one of the staff behind Wang Sirui. Coupled with Wang Shizhen, the prime minister, Duan Qirui, the commander-in-chief of the artillery, and Feng Guozhang, the commander of the Second Group Army, even if Yuan Shikai did not come out, his status in the DPRK and China was still incomparable.

If these people are the founding fathers, then Yuan Shikai is the top few founding fathers, and his status is far superior to others.

That's why these people have the heart to make friends.

Fortunately, a few years ago, under the recommendation of Li Hongzhang, they also had some friendship with Yuan Shikai, but then Yuan Shikai was forced to go into the wilderness, and no one could contact him, so they broke off their relationship for a few years.

"Lord Qiu has won the award, Wang, Feng, and Duan were indeed good under me before, but it was Your Majesty who really discovered them and reused them, if they were still in my hands, now at most they would be a division commander, and Yuan still has this self-knowledge." Yuan Shikai shook his head secretly in his heart, and then made up his mind.

Exchanges between high-level officials are necessary, but Yuan Shikai has lived in the house for three years, how can he not understand Wang Sirui's thoughts?

In other words, even if he doesn't know Wang Sirui, he knows very well that those emperors' mental tricks and normal working exchanges are okay, but this kind of gang-forming communication is still less good.

Moreover, Yuan Shikai knew very well that what Wang Sirui was most tired of was that the people below were forming gangs.

Otherwise, if Wang Shuqi, Wu Yang, and Wu Zixu are united, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang will be struggling in the army.

On the government's side, Wang Shizhen also knew Wang Sirui's thoughts very well, so he didn't do anything overdone.

And this time Wang Sirui arranged a position for Yuan Shikai, which is also a bit special, which is destined to Yuan Shikai will be a ruthless person, rather than having a bad relationship with these people in the future, it is better to draw a line with them as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed in the future.

"The auspicious time has come! The enthronement ceremony begins! A eunuch stood beside the dragon chair and sang loudly.

The ministers who were in a mess in the audience also stopped communicating, and each quickly sorted according to their own level and stood in their respective positions.

The whole ceremony was silent for a while, the pins could be heard, and even the sound of some people's heavy breathing could be heard.

A middle-aged man in his forties dressed in a gray robe stood on the other side of the eunuch with the holy decree in his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly opened the holy decree: "The national body has been decided, the destiny of heaven is critical, and the merchants and people of the whole country are called to ascend to the throne......"
