Chapter 33: The Founding Ceremony
readx; Zhang Guanghua stopped, and when he saw the silent and excited people below, his heart was extremely heroic. Since www.biquge.info Ming Dynasty, China has suffered humiliation in front of Europe and the United States, and the suffering suffered by our later generations is thousands of times greater than that of the people of the Yuan Dynasty! But now, because of his appearance, he has changed the direction of all history. Now he wants everyone to know who is the only overlord in this world!
Looking at the hundreds of people below, he raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the people of Anxi!" Long live the great unity of the Han nation! ”
The people who were listening to Zhang Guanghua's speech were still emotional, but after hearing his last shout, they were all stunned. And when Zhang Guanghua reacted by himself, he also stayed on the spot. Oh no, this joke is making a big fuss, why are you so open-mouthed! Even "Hooray" was shouted.
Just as he was thinking about how to round the field, suddenly a person below had already left the table and knelt down, shouting "Long live", and then all the people in the audience knelt down, including Li Da and others, all shouted together: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”
Next, Zhang Guanghua didn't know how he stepped down, although Li Dahe and the village chief and others did not call him "Your Majesty" at the dinner table, but the respect for him was obvious during the conversation.
is like two close lovers, the relationship is like glue, but as soon as some words are broken, everyone is confused.
Although Zhang Guanghua's heart was up and down, the others didn't seem to be affected, and this banquet was dark.
At the end of the song, Zhang Guanghua returned to the room of the Chamber of Commerce, tossing and turning all night, and he lost sleep this night.
The county office, Li Da held a sword in his hand, wearing a suit of Cheng Liang's armor, and was directing the soldiers to put up lanterns, and everyone worked together to decorate the entire county office.
"General Li, my subordinates have something to report!" While he was busy before and after, a sonorous voice came from behind him.
He looked back and found that it was the two most powerful cadres under him, Zhao Qianhu and Zhou Qianhu, but now they have been promoted to ten thousand households.
"What's the matter?"
"My subordinates don't understand, why do you want to support the military division as the emperor, we think that the most capable person to sit in this position is General Li!"
Li Da was silent for a while, remembering the conversation between the village chief and him last night.
"Li Da, who do you think is the most prestigious person in Anxi right now?"
"It's a military advisor."
"So who is the most powerful person now?"
"That should be me, as the prime minister of the parliament, I am in charge of the soldiers on the horse and the people on the horse."
"Do you want to be emperor, then?"
"Village chief, am I going to tell the truth? Actually, I think. ”
"Actually, what you want is not the emperor, but power. It has been almost half a year since the promulgation of the "National Code", although we have not yet established a country in Anxi, and there is no emperor, but the "constitutional monarchy" has been implemented in the whole of Anxi. Now almost all the officials of the entire county government are your people, and you are the veritable emperor of Anxi. ”
"Li Da, have you thought about it, now that we have achieved such a big advantage, it is a matter of time before the founding of the country is founded. There are only two paths in front of us, one is to ascend the throne and claim the title of emperor as in all dynasties, and the other is to continue to implement our "National Code" and adopt the rule of law to govern the country. No matter which path you take now, the military advisor is the biggest contender for you. If you can kill him, there is no doubt that this problem will be solved, but in reality, none of us can do without a military advisor now. Of course, it is also possible to do otherwise, and there is a better solution. ”
"What do you mean, village chief......"
"Support the military division to ascend the throne! As long as you are in charge of the entire parliament and firmly implement the regulation in the "National Code" that "the emperor cannot be in charge of political affairs", you will solve this problem perfectly. If the military advisor dares to seize power with you, it is not impossible for your army to enter the city and re-establish a new emperor. In order to dispel the doubts of the military advisor, you have to do one more thing, marry your niece to him. ”
"Li Xinlan?"
"Yes. It's my precious granddaughter, Lan'er. ”
Coming back to his senses, Li Da looked at the two generals in front of him who were waiting for him to answer, and couldn't help but ask: "Am I not the 'emperor' now?" ”
……
Zhang Guanghua slept until noon, but Li Xinlan ran over and told him to get up. When he got dressed and opened the door, he saw that Li Xinlan was not the same as before, a little twisted, and a little shy.
"Brother Zhang, I may stay at home and not be able to come out these days, but you don't have to worry, you can see me in a few days." Li Xinlan pinched the corner of her clothes and said a word to him, then turned around and ran, making Zhang Guanghua inexplicable.
As soon as Zhang Guanghua went downstairs, he found that Lu Yishan, who had been waiting next to him, also came out with more than a dozen guards, one of whom was carrying a flintlock pistol. The bayonets on the flintlock pistol shone in the sunlight. And Lu Yishan even carried the only "five-five" rifle on his back.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Guanghua looked at them and asked suspiciously.
"Protect the Commander!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Do I still need protection?" He wondered in his heart.
Walking on the road with Lu Yishan, Zhang Guanghua wandered aimlessly.
"Hey, Yishan, have you noticed it, why are the streets so clean today, and every house is lit up."
"This is in preparation for your ascension to the throne in three days." Lu Yishan replied.
Zhang Guanghua: "......"
He was probably the easiest emperor to rise to the throne ever.
……
Three days later, the former Anxi County Ya.
The enthronement ceremony began just after the early hours of the first watch. The Gongwei Division prepared a ceremonial team, the soldiers were lined up outside the county yamen, the roads were full of colorful flags, and five chariots were prepared in front of the gate for the emperor to ride.
The two staff members of the ceremony entered the county government with their watch seals, and the current county government has been renamed the imperial palace. At this time, the palace was already lit up, and the red lanterns were hung high. Although it was the middle of the night in spring, the soldiers and officials had already put on their court clothes and stood outside the palace to wait for the marquis, while the ceremonial officials entered the palace to report and prepare.
On the third watch, officials below the prime minister entered the palace. The new emperor Zhang Guanghua wore a dragon robe and sat on the emperor's throne. After the drum music stopped, the official in charge of holding the emperor's seal placed the jade seal, a symbol of power, on the treasure case.
At this point, the ceremonial officer waved his whip to signal everyone to be quiet, and under the guidance of the ceremonial staff, hundreds of officials entered in a procession and stood at their own station. From the entry of the hundred officials to the station, music has been played. When worshipping the emperor, everyone knelt and bowed one by one, and after the official performed the "dance ceremony", everyone shouted in unison "Long live my emperor, long live", and shouted three times in a row.
Subsequently, everyone went to the temporary Taimiao together, revered the ancestors, paid tribute to Confucius, and changed the year name to "Zhenhua". And Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty posthumously praised Confucius as the Duke of Xuanni, and the descendants of Confucius were all praised as the Marquis of Baocheng, so that Confucius officially ascended the altar of traditional Chinese society, that is, the year 1 A.D. is the new calendar. As a result, the Western Gregorian calendar changed its name in the blink of an eye and became the Han calendar.
Next, the sacrifice is made. Zhang Guanghua put on a dragon robe, and hundreds of officials congratulated.
Finally, the edict was distributed to the world, announcing the establishment of the "Chinese Empire"!
After this whole set of rituals was completed, he didn't sleep well all night, and Zhang Guanghua, who was so tired that he was about to lie down, fell asleep on the dragon bed. Hey, it's so tiring to be an emperor!
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up." Early in the morning, Zhang Guanghua hadn't slept well before he was called up by Lu Yishan.
Anxi couldn't find a eunuch, and Zhang Guanghua wasn't ready to really castrate a few eunuchs, so Lu Yishan temporarily played the role of father-in-law.
"What's the matter? I also didn't let people sleep well. Zhang Guanghua kicked Lu Yishan to the side, turned over and continued to sleep.
"I can't sleep anymore, today is the day of His Majesty's wedding!"
"Your sister!" Zhang Guanghua sat up suddenly. Thinking of the euphemistic and moving Li Xinlan, a trace of happiness rippled in his heart. said that it was okay to fall in love.,In the end, the village chief did it all by himself.,Fortunately, Lan'er is so beautiful.,It's the type I like.。
The emperor's search for a wife is no different from that of the people, and generally they must abide by the "six rites" agreed in the "Book of Rites": Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, announcing the date, and welcoming in person. And the queen was sent to the door by someone from her mother's family.
Today is the day of Nacai and asking for names, Zhang Guanghua was dressed up by several old women who temporarily served as palace maids, and made a grand appearance in the main hall of the palace.
In the sound of music, Lu Yishan rushed to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of the honor guard and drum band, because the county government is now occupied by Zhang Guanghua, and the village chief and a group of government officials have to temporarily live in the Chamber of Commerce. At this time, all the staff of the Chamber of Commerce were already waiting at the gate, and after they accepted the gifts, they handed over the "table" with Lan'er's name, resume, birthday and other items to Lu Yishan. After Lu Yishan led the team back to the Forbidden City, he handed over the "festival" and "table" to the emperor, even if the task was successfully completed. Then Zhang Guanghua "informed" the "princes and ministers" of the situation and asked about the name.
In order to be in a hurry, the Najib and Nazheng ceremonies were continued on the same day. The corresponding ceremony was held in the palace, and Lu Yishan, who had not had time to rest, rushed to the Chamber of Commerce with the festival book in his hand, gifts and relevant documents.
After the completion of the five ceremonies in front, you can finally rest, and the next highlight is to welcome in person, for this day repeatedly calculated the auspicious day, and chose the sixth day of the fifth month, it is appropriate to marry, make an alliance and plant. Ordinary people generally take the groom to pick up the bride at the house of the old man with a welcoming procession. When it came to Zhang Guanghua, the emperor, because of his supreme status, he changed to send a minister with children and daughters, Lu Guangxin, as a representative to welcome his relatives. At this time, the palace was already lit up, and the main rooms were fully equipped with firecrackers, red bronzing double happiness candles, and red felt was also laid on the royal road.
