Then, the ceremonial officer chanted: "Reset!" ”
All the courtiers, whether they were below or above, ran to the bottom to rearrange the line and stood towards Zhu Changyuan.
"Bye!"
Then all the officials visited the shrine together.
In the future, it is repeated worship, this worship after worshipping that, worshipping with the left foot and worshipping with the right foot, I don't know how many times I worshipped, even Zhu Changyuan, the emperor, was tired to watch, and the ministers below were sweating profusely in this harsh winter.
After all the rituals were over, the hundred officials began to congratulate the table again, and once again performed three kneels and nine bows.
Then, Zhu Changyuan canonized Chen Yuanyuan as Concubine Chen and Yu Min as Concubine Duangui, and the ceremony was completely over.
The enthronement ceremony is over, and today's affairs are only half busy, and there is still the rest to be busy.
For example, Zhu Changyuan ascended the throne, and the next thing must be to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and announce the sun and the moon, so that the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will know that he Zhu Changyuan has become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the son of heaven.
So, Zhu Changyuan, surrounded by the ministers and the Ministry of Rites, came to Yuanqiu to worship the sky, and recited the edict to announce it to the sky.
The text said: I am the only king of China, since Emperor Taizu, the mandate of heaven is the lord of the world in my emperor's lineage, and it has been passed on to his descendants for two hundred and seventy-four years, and this fate is also over. The territory of the sea and the territory of the sea are divided by heroes. The descendants of Emperor Taizu, the bloodline of Emperor Chengzu, the favor of the heavens, and the spirit of the ancestors, then took advantage of the autumn of chasing deer to the heroes and sages. Where Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Liaodong, Huguang, and Liangguang are everywhere, they are all over the place, and they are all cornered. Min'an Tianli.
Today, the ministers of civil and military affairs are persuaded to advance with a joint speech, respecting me as the emperor and taking the lord of Qianli.
Please do so. On the fourth day of the first month of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was located in the temple of the gods, that is, the emperor was located in the Jianji Palace. There must be the name of the world, called Daming. Jian Yuan Taizheng. Gong Yi Taimiao, posthumously respect the four generations of Kaoyu as the emperor and queen.
Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known.
After worshipping in the mound, Zhu Changyuan led the people of Baiguan Palace from the Temple of Heaven to the Temple of Earth under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, and began to sacrifice to the earth!
Although the ritual of the shrine is much less than the enthronement ceremony, it is also extremely cumbersome.
For example, when sacrificing the land, three animals should be sacrificed, which is called Taigao.
After sacrificing to the altar of the earth, you have to go to the ancestral temple to worship.
"The Book of Rites" has a saying: The Son of Heaven has seven temples and two temples.
Zhu Changyuan not only wanted to sacrifice Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He also had to build temples for his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather and great-grandfather's father, plus Zhu Yuanzhang's father's temple, called the Seven Temples.
The temple of the distant ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang and his father is an altar and a Zen, also called Erao.
The Seven Temples are to be sacrificed on time every month to show their solemnity to their ancestors!
After Zhu Changyuan sacrificed to the ancestors of heaven and earth, he was regarded as an official emperor, and he took the civil and military officials to the last of the three major halls of the outer court, the Jianji Palace.
Walking back from the first gate of the outer court, the snow in the entire inner palace was removed by the eunuchs and palace maids. It looks empty and clean. Zhu Changyuan was dressed in a dragon crown suit, wearing colorful court boots on his feet, and wearing a crown unique to Ming Dynasty emperors on his head. Holding the wat at the waist, the dragon and the tiger walked forward.
"Whew!"
Zhu Changyuan exhaled deeply, relieved, raised his eyes to look at the blue sky, and felt that today's sun was unusually bright and the sky was unusually blue.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhu Changyuan had just walked into the Jianji Palace, and all the officials on both sides and behind him were prostrate on the ground, and their cries shook the sky. The entire Jianji Hall looks extremely solemn.
"Flat!"
With a flick of his sleeves, he said domineeringly. Then step on the Dan Majesty and slowly go up.
The samurai on both sides followed closely. Then the civil officials followed, and the court once again played the great music of Danqi!
The music is over. I started playing some upbeat tunes again.
Zhu Changyuan walked all the way up from outside the hall, and finally walked to the hall and sat firmly on the dragon chair.
The eunuch Cao Huachun threw the dust on the crook of his arm, raised his unique sharp voice, and said: "The emperor ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and the queen was selected today, and the ministers went to the palace!" ”
One by one, the courtiers on the steps lined up, knelt down from both sides, and saluted again.
Although Chen Yuanyuan and Yu Min are Zhu Changyuan's women, they are not queens, and they are not qualified to sit on Zhu Changyuan's left and right at the ceremony, so they can only be far away on both sides of Zhu Changyuan and sit behind a small case.
Zhu Changyuan looked at the two concubines, a happy smile appeared on his face, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's start!" ”
Cao Huachun shouted again: "All the ladies go to the palace!" ”
A burst of light vocal music sounded, and then, a girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old slowly walked under the hall, dressed in a bright red Hanfu, with a slender figure and a delicate face.
"The daughter of the Luoyang Wang family asks to see!"
The following little eunuch held the book and began to introduce the Wang girl's family history, age, birth date and other contents little by little, and finally gave a conclusion: This is Zhu Changyuan's good match.
Of course, if it is not a good match or a mismatch, they don't dare to get it to the palace.
"Beautiful, dignified and gentle, you know at a glance that you can be the mother of the world!"
"Yes, what a virtuous person!"
"Quiet as a virgin, Luoyang is really a beauty!"
。。。
The minister deliberately whispered in His Highness! This is also a kind of etiquette, although it does not affect the will of the emperor, but at this moment it is to show the duty of a courtier, after all, the king has no family affairs!
The king's family affairs are all state affairs!
"Flat!"
Zhu Changyuan also nodded secretly to this girl, only fifteen or sixteen years old, standing in the court and being watched by all the ministers, although she was a little shy and timid, but generally speaking, she should resist the pressure to make herself as gentle and generous as possible, it is not easy!
It seems that she should be a woman from a big family.
Zhu Changyuan is not too concerned about her family background, after all, today's protagonist is not her. So he just waved his hand to let the Luoyang Wang woman stand aside and said, "Next!" ”
Cao Huachun raised his voice and shouted after Zhu Changyuan: "Next!" ”
The loss is a eunuch, if it was a normal man standing in Cao Huachun's seat, the voice really couldn't reach that far. Zhu Changyuan can be regarded as understanding another benefit of eunuchs.
Another woman dressed in red walked in from outside the hall, stood under the stage and didn't dare to look up at everyone, trembling and kneeling on the ground, her voice trembling and saying: "Min, minnus, see, see the emperor!" ”
"Don't be nervous, I'm not asking for your life, raise your head."
Zhu Changyuan said gently.
The woman below raised her head, revealing a gentle and small appearance unique to the Jiangnan region, her face was pale, as if she had been on the execution ground, and she knew that she was extremely nervous at a glance.
Fifteen or sixteen again, alas!
Not to mention that today's post-election ceremony is specially prepared for Zhang Yan, even if it is a normal draft girl, it is impossible for Zhu Changyuan to accept a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, after all, as a modern person, his heart, aesthetic views and hobbies are slightly different from those of ancient people.
"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, don't worry, even if you make a mistake, I won't blame you. After all, I never hit a woman! Zhu Changyuan's words pushed the atmosphere of the scene a little weird.
The ministers didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to laugh, and Cao Huachun's face was flushed. Only Chen Yuanyuan, who is opposite to Zhu Changyuan day and night, and Yumin feel accustomed to it.
The girl below smiled shyly, and sure enough, she was no longer as nervous as she was just now, and smiled shyly, captivating the country and the city!
Zhu Changyuan said: "Is this good?" Look how beautiful it is! ”
Then the eunuch began to introduce the woman's identity and family history.
and Zhu Changyuan's conjecture of eight and nine, the girl is from Hangzhou!
Zhu Changyuan listened very carefully, pretended to watch and think for a while, then waved his hand and said to Cao Huachun: "Next!" ”
Then, one by one, the women who were finally selected entered the palace, including Suzhou, Datong, Yangzhou, Kaifeng, and even Beijing City, but Zhu Changyuan never said anything.
It wasn't until the tenth woman entered the main hall that the atmosphere in the hall became a little different!
No, it should be said that the whole hall mutinied!
"Pifu Zhang Guoji, what do you want?"
The moment Zhang Yan entered the main hall, before Zhu Changyuan and Cao Huachun could speak, someone had already begun to scold Zhang Guoji loudly, because Zhang Yan was also a queen no matter what she said, and she often appeared at various ceremonies.
She is so beautiful as a flower, it is difficult not to be remembered by the ministers.
Zhu Changyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at His Highness! The reprimand is the current Zuodu Yushi Wang Daozhi.
Zhang Guoji's face was slightly flushed with a red tide, but in a flash, he said straight to the king: "What do you mean, Lord Wang?" ”
"What do you mean?" Before Wang Daozhi could speak, Guang Shiheng next to him stood up and said, "Why is Empress Yi'an here?" ”
No one objected to Zhu Changyuan becoming emperor, and that was because the ministers could not find a better successor to the throne. But if Zhu Changyuan wants to break the rules and take the empress of Emperor Xizong as the queen, this is intolerable no matter what.
Even those who slapped Zhu Changyuan's ass and knelt and licked him before, none of them came out to help him speak.
"Your Majesty!" Shang Zhouzuo bowed to Zhu Changyuan and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Yi'an is the first dynasty, and now she has been mistakenly selected into the rear hall, and the minister asks Your Majesty to issue an edict to invite Empress An into the harem!" ”
"Your Majesty, please give an edict!"
"Your Majesty, please give an edict!"
The ministers knelt on the ground at the same time, and it was impossible for them to compromise on this kind of thing.
Zhu Changyuan also had no choice, stood up with a bitter face, and scolded Cao Huachun: "I remember that Empress An has long been buried with Deling, why is she here?" ”
Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, this is the daughter of Lord Zhang, but it is not Queen Yi'an, but the sister of the first queen, Zhang Yu!" ”
"Huh?" Zhu Changyuan pretended to be quite similar, looked at Zhang Yan and rubbed his eyes and said: "No wonder, how do I think this woman is a little familiar, but after a closer look, it should be three points different from the first queen!" ”
The ministers were also suspicious, pondering in their hearts, and looked at Zhang Yan's face, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt different.
"Everybody, get up!"
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, and the ministers below stood up again. (To be continued.) )
