The day of the ceremony, that is, the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Taizheng. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading]

Even God helped, the snowflakes that were scattered before actually stopped, not only stopped, but even the sun came out, although the daylight was white, but it was a sunny day anyway.

If the weather is not beautiful, it will be bad if it makes a cold wind and howling snow, and the weather is not the main thing, but I am afraid that someone will use the weather behind his back to talk about things.

On this day, not only the ministers and officials, but even the eunuchs and maids in the palace got up early in the morning.

Zhu Changyuan is no exception, he got up as soon as the day dawned to prepare for today's hard work, after all, the enthronement ceremony is not something that can be completed in a while, and it is also a personal work.

From the inner palace to the outer court, the white silk arranged for the sacrifice of Empress Yi'an two days ago was torn off overnight and replaced with festive red satin and bright yellow representing the royal symbol.

From the beginning of the hour, the people of the Ministry of Rites entered the Jianji Hall one after another, and set up nine huge braziers on each side of the Huangji Palace, the braziers were filled with tung oil, burning a blazing bonfire, and the iron shelves were underneath, dark and solid, in the night before dawn, like two rows of mighty soldiers guarding the main hall.

Although Zhu Changyuan got up early, he didn't have anything to do, and it wasn't until after breakfast that Cao Huachun took him to the Zhongji Hall to rest and wait.

The ceremony of the enthronement ceremony must have been held in the Imperial Palace, but even if the venue was set up, before the final ceremony began, except for those who worked hard, ordinary people were not allowed to enter, including the hundred officials and the emperor.

At this time, the hundred officials and the emperor could only wait in the middle hall. It's not that there is nothing to do, but in the process of waiting, many ceremonial officials specially told the officials and the emperor about the details of the ceremony, how to do it, and how to do it at a critical time so as not to make a fool of it.

Sometimes, when the emperor doesn't understand or really doesn't understand, he has to do on-site exercises in advance, and like the show on stage, it takes several rehearsals to get familiar with it.

When I heard Wang Xinxin say it before, I thought that the role of this Zhongji Hall was not too great. Now when he was confused by that circle of chaotic etiquette, Zhu Changyuan knew that he was wrong.

Everything has a meaning for its existence, including this central temple, and there is no exception. Otherwise, where would the emperor go to rehearse. If you don't rehearse, how can you make sure that you don't make mistakes?

Not long after Zhu Changyuan arrived, he was forced to accept a lot of etiquette, and when he was upset, he saw his two delicate wives Yumin and Chen Yuanyuan dressed up and walked over surrounded by a group of palace maids.

Zhu Changyuan smiled happily first. Behind his back, he made a gesture to the two of them that only they could understand.

"Meet Concubine Chen, meet the county lord!"

The two of them walked and saluted non-stop along the way.

Although Chen Yuanyuan was not named a concubine, Zhu Changyuan had been called Concubine Chen many times in front of outsiders before, so the people here were right to call her Concubine Chen, but because the county lord of Xiaohe did not have a concubine number, everyone could only call her the county lord.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty!"

This is the first time that the two women have called Zhu Changyuan on a formal occasion after Zhu Changyuan became emperor, and they are a little proud and a little nervous, and at the same time. All are very happy.

Chen Yuanyuan never asked about Zhu Changyuan's career, and after following him, he was desperate, and everything followed Zhu Changyuan. In Zhu Changyuan's heart, he is also well-known for his gentleness and virtuousness.

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan and Yu Min, he couldn't help but think of his other two women, Lana and Liu Ruyi, and when he thought of the two of them, Zhu Changyuan sighed slightly in his heart.

"Come, sit beside me!" Zhu Changyuan pulled a person to sit next to his dragon chair with one hand, and said, "It's the first time to participate in this kind of ceremony, are you nervous?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan bowed his head, and Yu Min said: "I can participate in His Majesty's enthronement ceremony." The blessings of the concubines, even if they are nervous, they are happy. ”

Zhu Changyuan laughed and said, "You don't have much to do except follow." I am the focus of the world today, and I am very nervous, more nervous than fighting. ”

When the ministers heard what he said, they all laughed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the ceremonial officials first picked up the hundred officials from the Zhongji Palace, and called to the Huangji Hall to line up neatly. When everything is ready. Another official came over, and led Zhu Changyuan to the Imperial Palace.

Behind Zhu Changyuan, one left and one right, they are Chen Yuanyuan and Yu Min.

At this moment, the sky suddenly cleared, the blue sky was like a wash, and the dazzling sunlight shone down, pouring down on those gilded glazed tiles, and the whole palace looked brilliant.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, even God helps, the minions haven't seen such good weather this winter!" The little eunuch who led the front slapped Zhu Changyuan at the horse, but was reprimanded by the ceremonial officer.

In the back, Chen Yuanyuan and Yu Min couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle!

Zhu Changyuan, under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, turned around from the southernmost part of the Imperial Palace, facing the main hall, and found that on the steps of the main hall from top to bottom, there were two rows of officials wearing red official robes.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The ceremonial officer shouted in a loud voice, and then the hundred officials turned around and knelt on the ground facing the imperial steps.

At this time, the eunuch who guided Zhu Changyuan had already retreated to the side, and he personally took the two ladies and walked up the imperial steps.

"Playing music!"

As soon as the ceremonial officer finished shouting, Zhu Changyuan heard "Knock, knock, knock!" A few rough drums, and then the music on both sides suddenly sounded, solemn and solemn, and at the same time cheerful atmosphere.

The music played on both sides is naturally the special music of the emperor to ascend the throne!

His Majesty Dan originally referred to the red steps, that is, the steps in front of the palace, except for the emperor and queen mother and the queen mother, this kind of step is not allowed to be walked by ordinary people. Later, His Majesty Dan specifically referred to the emperor and the imperial court.

And the Dan Majesty music is a piece of music that can only be played when the emperor ascends the throne and receives foreign envoys, and it is also unique to the royal family!

The ceremonial officer followed the emperor on the side, but he could not walk on the red Dan Majesty, he could only walk on the road next to him.

After Zhu Changyuan went up the steps, when he was about to enter the door, the official shouted loudly: "Flat!" ”

Then, the ministers and officials behind them got up from the ground one by one, and walked up on both sides of His Majesty in a neat line.

"Squeak!"

The main entrance of the Imperial Palace was pushed open by two little eunuchs, and then, Zhu Changyuan passed through the main gate alone. Yu Min and Chen Yuanyuan were led by the two palace maids and passed through the side doors on both sides of the main entrance.

Ancient etiquette requirements are extremely strict, the Imperial Palace is a place to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and various large ceremonies, even the Son of Heaven, usually can only go to the side door, only want to be in this grand enthronement ceremony, can pass through the main gate.

If there is a queen, it will naturally be able to pass, but now that Zhu Changyuan's queen has not yet been canonized, Chen Yuanyuan and Yumin can naturally only go to the side hall.

When Zhu Changyuan walked to the bottom of the imperial steps, the ceremonial officials shouted again: "The emperor succeeds to the throne, and hundreds of officials enter the palace!" ”

Zhu Changyuan walked step by step from the imperial steps to the throne, then turned around and stood in front of the throne without sitting down, while Chen Yuanyuan and Yu Min sat behind the screen behind the throne, covering their figures.

Zhu Changyuan stopped and stood, and hundreds of officials entered the hall one after another.

Then, Xue Guoguan, Zhang Sizhi, Wei Zaode, Chen Yan and others stepped forward, went up from the side of the imperial road, supported Zhu Changyuan with their hands, and slowly pushed him on the emperor's throne.

This is an extremely important part of the enthronement ceremony, and it also means that the emperor's position is not casually sat on by himself, but after being approved by hundreds of officials, he was pushed on it by hundreds of officials.

"Tamamo in Gunko!" The ceremonial officer saw Zhu Changyuan sitting firmly, and hurriedly shouted.

Then from under the imperial stairs, two men with crowns of clothes in their hands came and slowly ascended the steps. When they ascend the royal steps, they do not step one step at a time, but step on top of the imperial steps with their left foot, put their right foot together, and then stretch out their right foot, and then join together. One step at a time is the etiquette of serving the king.

The two attendants placed the gon on the table and then stepped back.

Several cabinet ministers picked up the dragon robe and wanted to put it on Zhu Changyuan, but Zhu Changyuan snatched it up, put it on himself, and then picked up the crown and gently put it on his head.

Put on your colorful boots again!

What a cheat!

The moment Zhu Changyuan put the hat on his head, he felt that his head was about to be overwhelmed, originally the emperor's ceremonial hat was to be woven with gold thread, but the time for him to prepare for the throne was too short, and there was no way to use gold thread to weave it, and Zhu Changyuan was unwilling to use other people's old goods, so he could only temporarily take a pure gold crown in the Internal Affairs Office.

"The Book of Rites" records: The Son of Heaven Yuzao, two out of ten. Before and after, the tornado is sacrificed!

That is to say, on the hat of the Son of Heaven, there are twelve colored threads that stretch back and forth, and the beads worn by them extend from the crown plate and droop back and forth.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the hat of the Son of Heaven was not like that in the Han and Tang dynasties, but from a practical point of view, the crown plate was omitted, and twelve seams were directly made on the golden book, and twelve colored beads were embroidered on the seams.

This is not only beautiful and generous, but also comfortable to wear.

Therefore, Zhu Changyuan's crown is this kind of crown without a crown plate, the only difference is that his hat is not silk, but made of pure gold. How do you look at it, it's a bit of a tyrant!

Moreover, it is very uncomfortable to wear.

Nima, go back and dismiss the goods that the Ministry of Rites is responsible for getting the crown, what about this Nima hall?

When Zhu Changyuan was indignant in his heart, the ceremonial officer shouted again: "Shift arrangement!" ”

The above cabinet ministers hurried down and entered the queue of ministers!

When the cabinet ministers were ready, the ceremonial officer shouted, "Please, play music!" Flat! ”

At this point, the music stopped, and the ministers stood upright again and looked at Zhu Changyuan.

The ceremonial officer shouted: "Wat ! ”

Several members of the cabinet came out again, hurriedly went up the imperial stairs all the way, came to Zhu Changyuan's front and put the wat board to his waist, and then led the hundred officials to kneel again.

At this time, the attendants below held a square box from the imperial steps and handed the box in their hands to the ministers. After receiving the box again, the cabinet respectfully held it to Zhu Changyuan, knelt down and said: "The emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure."
