Chapter 30: There is a face on the ground
yes, what am I afraid of?! I and the Emperor Taishang are in-laws, my daughter-in-law is the tenth princess of the Qing Dynasty, my younger brother has a heavy army, and I am a person who holds dozens of important positions in dozens of countries, with high ranks, wide management, and great power, no one can match. The Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of my Niu Colu clan, you are the crown prince and I have to be scared, and you are abolished!
On the winter solstice of the 60th year of Qianlong (the first day of December), Yan Yan has been waiting for this day for a long time. From now on, I am the emperor, I say that the east is the east, the west is the west, I can kill whoever I want, I can do whoever I want, and the world will be owned by me in the future.
However, just before that day, something changed happened. According to the Qin Tianjian (the official office in charge of the astronomical calendar), the National Meteorological Administration, the news released that a solar eclipse was about to occur on the winter solstice.
"Solar eclipse?" Lord He was taken aback at first when he heard the news, then he thought about it and hurriedly stood up and ran towards the Heart Cultivation Palace. It was the middle of winter, and Lord Qianlong had already moved back to the Forbidden City from the Old Summer Palace and lived in the Palace of Heart Nourishing.
"Your Majesty! Slaves have something important to report! Zen let the ceremony be postponed! After asking for peace, he hurriedly explained his intentions to the adults.
"It's a solar eclipse, right? I already know......" Qianlong Ye said lightly, "I am about to make an order to postpone the Zen Order. ”
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks this is the will of heaven. I'm afraid God doesn't want you to abdicate! ”
"Heshenna, your mind understands that Zen can't change anything. My favorite is Yanyan, and since it has been announced to the world, it cannot be changed. The ceremony will be held as scheduled on the first day of the first month of next year. If there is a solar eclipse on the first day of the first lunar month, then ......"
"Yes! The slave is just worried about the court and the emperor, and he is disrespectful for a while, and he hopes that the emperor will forgive his sins! ”
"Alright, you stand down!" Lord Qianlong commanded lightly.
Is this really just a coincidence?!
As soon as the news of the solar eclipse came out, the entire Forbidden City immediately fell into a dead air, and everyone waited for the arrival of the solar eclipse with a heavy heart. The morning of the winter solstice was still cloudless and the sun was shining. Just after noon, half of the sun was swallowed up by the dragon, and at the right time, the sky was dark, and the sand and rocks were flying. Lord Qianlong slowly ascended to the altar and burned incense to the sky. After a short time, the eclipse passed, the sun poured down, and the ministers under the altar shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"It seems that the dragons of heaven are no better than the dragons of the earth! Our emperor is the real dragon son of heaven, and even the dragons in the sky are a little afraid of it! "And the sycophants of the adults followed. The Manchu civil and military forces and several other princes also began to discuss.
Yan Yan frowned: Rub, what's the matter?! For a month, for more than a month, Yan Yan was unwilling, trembling: Is the old man going to change his mind? !
The eclipse was like a shadow that he couldn't get rid of no matter what.
The first year of Jiaqing (1796), the first day of the first month. The first day of the first month of this year came as early as in previous years, and Yan Yan stayed awake all night. In his opinion, only by holding a Zen ceremony can he become a veritable emperor and truly hold power.
In the early morning of this day, the grand ceremony was held in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City as scheduled. The princes, ministers, and envoys of various countries lined up outside the Taihe Hall early in the morning, and all the complicated dependencies were also lined up.
Lord Qianlong's Luan Jia appeared from afar, and Yan Yan, who was dressed in the crown prince's crown clothes, followed closely. When Luan drove to the Taihe Palace, Qianlong Ye gently got off the sedan chair with the support of the guards. I saw that he was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and covered with a sable coat, and he still looked majestic and unstoppable. Yan Yan stepped forward to help Qianlong Ye walk up to the Fengxian Hall and the Shouhuang Palace, and finally hugged him to the emperor's throne in the Taihe Palace.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as they sat down, the ministers all knelt down and worshiped loudly.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" Qianlong said majestically, looking a little lonely: Is it the last time?!
"Since the beginning of the Imperial Pole, I have been diligent in governance, and I have worked diligently every day to pacify Yili, the four departments, the large and small Jinchuan, etc., and I have made great achievements and grace...... I have reigned for 60 years, and I dare not exceed the 61 years of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi Emperor, and today I will cede the throne to the crown prince Yanyan......"
As soon as the words fell, the music began to roar, the ministers hurriedly knelt down, and the two scholars led the crown prince up the steps.
"Yan Yan, this 'Emperor's Treasure' must be properly kept. Take over this 'Emperor's Treasure', and you will be the emperor of my Qing Dynasty!" Lord Qianlong took the imperial seal of the country in his hand and seriously explained to Yan Yan in front of the seat.
"Erchen knows!"
"You must listen to the instructions day and night, and know what you will follow, so that you will not make mistakes. In the future, the yamen of various ministries and provinces and the provinces have inscriptions and seals, etc., you can review them yourself, but you still have to know me to handle it, can you hear it clearly? ”
"Erchen understands!"
"Hmm!" When Qianlong heard this, he nodded, and handed over the imperial seal in his hand. Yan Yan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but saw Qianlong's five fingers bent, and he clasped the four sides of the imperial seal.
Rub, what do you mean?!
Qianlong Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile, as if at that moment, his gaze was frozen.
Yan Yan's hand had already stretched out, and then let him retract it, which was obviously unlikely, so he had to pull it out gently: Rub, you are letting go!
Lord Qianlong still smiled silently, and grabbed the jade seal of the country to death. Time, at that moment, stopped.
Yan Yan looked at Wang Lian on the side: Father-in-law, what is the situation with Shenma?!
Wang Lian avoided Yan Yan's gaze and looked into the distance: The matter of the two of you, don't worry about me.
Yan Yan had no choice but to look at the two scholars on the side: Rub, why are you two standing there stupidly?! Waiting for dinner!
The two scholars were also forced at this time, and they were in a cold sweat: Rub, what is this?!
"Hooray?!" One of the scholars called softly.
"Huh?!" Lord Qianlong was clever, and his eyes slowly returned to clarity. He turned his eyes to look at the scholar, and then at Yan Yan, who was holding the imperial seal, and his stiff smile returned to his former look. He let go of the imperial seal in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
Reluctantly, really reluctantly!
Yan Yan took the imperial seal and sighed: Rub, I'm scared to death!
Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly bowed three times and knocked nine times again. This is the end of the Zen Rang Ceremony. Immediately afterwards, the enthronement ceremony of the Jiaqing Emperor was held.
First of all, Yan Yan led the ministers to bow down to Lord Qianlong and play music, and at that moment Lord Qianlong suddenly aged a lot. Subsequently, the ministers bowed to Jiaqing. Since then, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has changed from Aixin Jueluo Hongli to Aixin Jueluo Yanyan.
Jiaqing looked at the civil and military officials in the audience, and frowned slightly: Is this my Great Qing Dynasty?!
No, the 'Jiaqing era' that belongs to me is far from coming.
It really didn't come.
As early as when Qianlong announced the Zen throne, he had repaired Ningshou Palace with great fanfare, planning to move in after abdication. However, after the end of the Zen ceremony, he seemed to have forgotten about this stubble, and devoted himself to the temple of cultivating the heart, and did not bring up the matter of life or death.
Rub, you are the emperor occupying my emperor's place, where can I sleep?!
Of course, Yan Yan's children's shoes still dare not say this, so they can only honestly nest in Yuqing Palace, looking at the Palace of Nourishing Heart every day and sighing: When will this old immortal hang? When will I get a good night's sleep there?
Want to sleep? Dream on!
The day after the end of the ceremony, Lord He brought a group of military ministers to the Palace of Raising the Heart.
"Long live the Emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”
"Hurry up!"
"The minions drafted some specifications, and asked the Emperor to look at them." He held a piece of music in the palm of his hand with both hands and said respectfully.
"Oh, bring it up and let me see!" When Lord Qianlong heard this, he hurriedly motioned to the deacon and eunuch beside him to present the recital. But as soon as the words came out, I realized that I still called myself 'I'. 'I' was originally the emperor's self-proclaim, but he is no longer the emperor, so naturally he can't use it anymore, and he feels sad for a while.
At this time, the eunuch had already presented the recital. He slowly opened the fold, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but be happy.
At the beginning of the song, some specific titles between the emperor, the emperor, and the ministers were stipulated. The abdicated Qianlong Ye was called the 'Taishang Emperor', and the decree was called the 'Amnesty Decree', and he still called himself 'I'. And the new emperor Jiaqing can only be called the 'heir emperor'.
Seeing this, Qianlong Ye smiled slightly.
"Heshen, in addition to the titles of Emperor Taishang and Emperor, what else is written in the compromise? My eyes are useless, and I've just read a few lines and I'm a little spent, so let's tell me about it! "I can say 'I' again, Lord Qianlong's heart is very open.
"After some discussion and research, the servants believed that whenever the ministers encountered the words 'heaven' and 'ancestor', they must raise the four grids to write, and whenever they encounter the three words 'Taishanghuang', they must also raise the three grids to write." The more Qianlong listened, the happier he became.
"When encountering the word 'emperor', the word 'emperor' is written two squares higher." He added, "In the future, the emperor's birthday will be called 'Wan Wanshou', and the emperor's birthday will be called 'Wan Shou'." ”
"Good!" Qianlong Ye nodded in agreement, "It's rare that you are so careful, if you don't mention it, I will be negligent." ”
"In the future, whenever military and political affairs are met, the heir emperor will have to handle them under the 'personal guidance' of the Emperor Taishang; officials who enter Beijing to see His Majesty or new officials who leave Beijing to take up their posts must first ask the Emperor Taishang to give a lecture." And the adult continued.
"Okay, this arrangement is very thoughtful, let's do it according to your arrangement!" Lord Qianlong's heart blossomed.
Wasn't that exactly what he wanted?
Yan Yan held his head and scratched there: Rub, this is playing with me!
And the adults smiled: There is a face on the ground, do you pick it up?!
