Chapter 438: Emperor Ying Junxian
Li Xian took a deep breath to make himself more breathless and his words clearer.
"I, Li Xian, am here, offering a sacrifice to heaven, and I am willing to accept the mandate of heaven and take the responsibility of the resurgence of China!"
There was silence in the audience, and many people swallowed their saliva, is that so? Li Tianwang, is he going to take that destiny?
Li Shi's voice continued to echo.
"I, Li Shi, make an appointment with all the people, so that my Chinese people can get rich and noble if they are hardworking, and they can do the world with kindness. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with all the people, let me be in China, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and every family enjoys peace. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with all the people, so that this Huaxia can get rid of the fate of the reincarnation of the five virtues and get a peaceful ...... for a hundred generations. ”
"I, Li Shi, make an appointment with hundreds of officials, respect each other with monarchs and ministers, and seek to be virtuous. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with the soldiers, fight for the country, and seek righteousness. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with Shilin, learn for use, and seek benevolence. I, Li Shi, made an appointment with the peasants, stopped paying taxes in ancient times, and sought peace and security. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with industry and commerce, open up the right way, and seek profit. ”
"I, Li Shi, make an appointment with the people of the world, be loyal and filial piety, and go hand in hand. I, Li Shi, make an appointment with men, women and children, parents, wives and children, raise the young, care for the lonely, rely on the old, and become a country and benefit the country. ”
This Li Xian's covenant made everyone's minds sway, throughout the ages, is there really such a king? Even if it's just words, I'm afraid it's unprecedented.
Before Li Xian's appointment was over, he raised his voice again and said the most important content of this appointment.
"I, Li Shi, make an appointment with all the people, defend the country with a sword, and pay the country with my life. Hold the way of heaven and decide the injustice of the world, hold the way of heaven and support benevolence and righteousness, hold the way of heaven and eliminate evil and promote good, the rule of three generations, even if it is not in the hands of Li Shi, it will also appear in the hands of my children and grandchildren. ”
In the aftermath, Li Shi looked around in all directions, and his tone was extremely resolute.
"Wait ......, would you like to make this appointment with me Li Xian!?"
The shouts of the tide are only a ding) the word "wish". The hearts of the people are known only to God, and at this moment, the hundreds of thousands of people, sergeants, and officials in Heaven are all blushing and shouting in unison with their voices raised. In the end, no one knows how sincere there is in his heart. Li Shi's covenant was not to issue ballots to one person, one vote.
Although it is just a gesture, a passing scene, the essence is no different from the persuasion of the ministers, to put it bluntly, this is to coerce the will of the people to ascend to the throne, but many details, including the choice of words and sentences, including the sacrifice to the emperors of the past dynasties, including the logic of taking the mandate of heaven, are all going flawlessly.
Reminded by his loyal subordinates, Li Xi realized that if he wanted to be emperor, the problem of whether the legal system could withstand the impact of the tide of the times. Huaxia has been a royal inheritance since ancient times, which is true, he is not worried about his reign, or even Zi'er. During his reign, within a hundred years, the Anglo-Chinese would make a "republican revolution".
But the absence of the republican revolution does not mean that there is no social unrest and no questioning of the imperial legal system. If it is from Zhu Ming's hands, he will get the traditional Chinese imperial inheritance. Will it be able to accommodate the wave of bourgeois ideas that will inevitably rise in the future? The Enlightenment movement is brewing in Europe, and if Britain and China want to lead China to rise, they will inevitably move towards the point of full contact with Europe, and the integration of ideas is also inevitable. Perhaps, during his lifetime, a number of republican-minded parties will rise under his rule, and he should be asked whether the rule of law is suitable for the future of China, a king who leads an ancient lineage.
Now it is the Three Sages Party who want to be a hypocritical monarch, and in the future, the people's wisdom will be widespread, and there will inevitably be waves of thought to hold the monarch accountable, and he can't plant a time bomb for himself that he doesn't know when it will detonate. Therefore, he is a short monarch, and then uses the people to take over the mandate of heaven, which leaves an interface for the future change of ideology and the re-examination of the monarchy's power.
Seeing the most critical point, Li Xi was about to say that line, but the people were boiling.
"Heavenly King, ascend the throne! Enthroned! Enthroned! ”
The shouts spread, and soon gathered into a wave that was even more fervent than the first two shouts.
It wasn't until Li Xian stretched out his arms and the soldiers below shouted in unison that the tide gradually subsided.
"I, Li Shi..., inherit the mandate of heaven with the people's covenant, and take the throne!"
The music was loud again, mixed with the cheers of everyone, and tens of thousands of people felt as if they were in the clouds, feeling unreal.
Liang Zaitan only took a breath at this time, and finally said "It's not polite!" He cried out, but in the midst of this cheering wave, no one could hear it. ,
Someone still heard it, and Kong Shangren, who was in the same disease as him, sighed: "When Han Gaozu received the mandate of heaven, although the princes persuaded him to advance, the rhetoric was that if it was convenient for the people of the world, it should be done" Isn't this an appointment between Han Gaozu and the people of the world? Now this Li Tianwang is just to explain this covenant in detail, so as to inherit the mandate of heaven, which is more in line with the righteousness of the sages. ”
Liang Zaishen was silent, what else could he say, he originally thought it was Liming, but it turned out that Ming was gone, and then Li Xi sacrificed to the kings of China on the spot, and then made an appointment with all the people, and took over the mandate of Zhu Ming to go back.
At this moment, Li Xi has stepped down, the cheers are still continuing, and when he comes to the stage again, the cheers are even more enthusiastic, Li Xi is no longer dressed in plain white, but a dark dragon robe, putting a curtain crown, stretching his arms on the circle mound, but on the dragon robe is a double-body twisted dragon, not the previous five-clawed dragon.
Now that Li Shi has changed the positioning of this king of China, these rituals naturally do not need to follow the original one by one. Every new monarch has his own additions and changes in this ritual system, and at this time, the corrupt Confucians in Like no longer have the heart to shout anything inappropriate.
Li Shi stretched out his arms, the big sleeves of the dragon robe waved, and the guard of honor shouted again: "Bye!" ”
The cheering stopped, and the ministers and the people bowed down one after another.
"My Emperor's ......, long live, long live, long live!"
With this sound, Li Tianwang became history, Li Xian ascended the throne, and became the emperor, an emperor who returned to the position of the three generations of holy kings in ancient times.
"I ......".
Li raised his arms and motioned for everyone to be flat, hundreds of thousands of people, kneeling under the black pressure that blocked his vision, originally he didn't feel anything, he had seen more people on the battlefield than this before. But now a changed self-title made him feel a noticeable difference.
Although he is no longer the father of the king, the respect of the king is not something that can be dissolved casually.
Li Xi sighed with emotion, and it was really difficult to adapt to such a self-proclaimed.
He said aloud: "The covenant between me and the people of the world is not a casual tongue, this covenant will be enshrined here, and the heavens see that I am fulfilling the covenant, and you and all the people can also compare it with this, to see if I am fulfilling the covenant, the mandate of heaven is the human heart that God can grant me the mandate of heaven, and can also take back this mandate, just like the hearts of all the people." ”。”
He picked up a scroll and said: "This covenant, called "Huangying Junxian", is the ancestral coin of my emperor's immovable "If you are not the only descendant of me, you must also follow it, otherwise, ,...。 Heaven will punish it, the people will abandon it, and the destiny of heaven should be extinguished by Huangying! ”
Even a corrupt Confucian like Liang Zaishen looked at Li Shi with an awe-inspiring gaze, and Kong Shangren also sighed again, saying in his heart that he would take over the mandate of heaven by appointment, so the emperor's legal system was really unprecedentedly stable, and it even chased after the three generations of saints. Li Shi's agreement, of course, is just a whitewash, but as long as some good governance is practiced and the rule can be stable, this emperor is like iron casting, whether it is a person who misses Zhu Ming or a person who has a heart for the Manchu Dynasty, it is difficult to shake.
The scroll wrapped in yellow silk was placed under the wordless throne of God, and the "Chapter of Shiping" was played again, and now Li Xi once again sacrificed to heaven as the British Emperor.
On this day, that is, the seventy-first year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi reign of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the tenth day of the tenth month of October, Li Xi ascended the throne and the country name was still British.
Li Shi was proclaimed emperor, and some preparations began very early, including finding the sixteen princes of the former Ming Dynasty. It's just that Kong Shang came either, which made Li Xian have to rethink the issue of the emperor's legal system, so that the launch of "Emperor Yingjunxian" was much more difficult than planned. Originally, after Li Xi wanted to be the emperor, he sorted out his own monarchical power structure, and then launched this "Imperial Monarch Constitution" as a matter of course, so as to establish his own imperial legal system and reposition the monarchy. And now, in order to appease his own people's hearts, he has to make a covenant with this constitution in advance, take the mandate of heaven, and obtain the king's legal system.
To Li Xian's surprise, this monarch constitution not only established its own monarchical legal system, but also won over new Confucians such as the Three Sages Party, and even some old Confucians were also stable, and did not add any chaos in the follow-up preparations for the government. After making some understanding, Li Xi understood that these people had listened to his words about the "Junxian" being equivalent to "Zuyu", and that in their opinion, Li Xian, the king, really wanted to learn from the emperor of the Song Dynasty, even if he did not rule the world with scholars, he was also inferior to his imperial dignity and restrained his imperial power. ,
After becoming the emperor, all the affairs were complicated, even if he was prepared, Li Shi was also on all fours, the emperor's etiquette regulations, the structure of the internal and external courts, the process of government affairs, the civil and military official system, the local official system, and the financial and tax adjustments, all poured in like a mountain. Many matters could not be directly copied from the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Xi had to stay up late and work overtime, but he felt that his life was as miserable as a wage earner who rushed to the manuscript, and he couldn't take care of making love to his wife.
Nazhu Yuyou's matter was also dragged down, and she, as Li Xi's clerk, was even accused of making the group turn around. The previous sorrow gradually dissipated in the busyness, replaced by the freshness and sense of accomplishment of planning a country.
For a few days, Li Xi followed Zhu Yuyou to be busy in the grass hall, until a group of palace beauties in high-haired clothes appeared, pulling out Zhu Yuyou, who was immersed in copying documents and was so busy that her forehead was on fire, that she realized that she still had more important things to face.
"Sister Yuyou, your garden, is it going to be called Yuyuan or Youyuan?"
Yan Sanniang asked with a slight smile, and then cast a disgusted look at her husband, who had become the emperor. Don't let Zhu Yuyou go home to get married, so he has been holding people by his side as a laborer, you still use people like you used to use in Li Zhuang?
"This one", . "Is there a speaker saying that the little woman is interfering in politics?"
Zhu Yuyou quickly assumed the identity, and said helplessly, but it seemed that the angle was a little wrong.
At this time, Li Shi woke up, looked up, and smoked. Cool air.
The fairies came down to earth, it was still a litter, Yan Sanniang, Guan Yu, and the pot-bellied An Jiuxiu were all dressed in rare palace clothes, decorated with pendant rings and jingling, with bright and beautiful, or graceful, or beautiful faces, and the original fatigue suddenly dissipated.
Twisting his mustache, Li Xi got up, grabbed this, hugged that ding), his eyes lit up, and he was ready to move.
"Fourth brother." I'm not allowed to sleep in the grass hall tonight. ”
Guan Yu hugged Li Shi's arm and coquettishly, the subtext of her words was not what ordinary people expected, the god girl was trying to show off what her supernatural skills had done.
"Guan Yu, your fourth brother is not ordinary now, pay attention to the name."
An Jiuxiu interjected, Guan Shi Biyu's eyes widened, nodded stunned, and put on a posture that didn't know whether to be a blessing or to bow down and said: "Oh, it's time to shout "Long Live Lord" ,..."
Li Shi and Yan Sanniang laughed at the same time, and Li Xi slapped Guan Guan's little buttocks. In a trance, time seemed to go back to more than five years ago, when this girl also rushed outside Fengtian Village with a spear in her arms, and followed the villagers to stop the homeless people from looting. At that time, Li Xi was a good beating, and he cried all day.
"I can't live for 10,000 years, and I'm not a master, I'm just your man...",
Li Shi took the three daughters-in-law, and Zhu Yuyou, who was on the side, was flushed with red face, and wanted to retreat, but he felt that it was too obvious and at a loss, but Yan Sanniang stretched out his hand and pulled him over, and stood in a corner beside Li Shi.
Zhu Yuyou stared at his toes and listened to Li Xi continue: "And you, my mother-in-law, no matter how big or small, whether you are noble or low, I will love you equally and protect you from the wind and rain." ”
Yan Sanniang's eyes flowed, and she reached out to caress Li Xian's already tired and thin cheeks and said, "Your Majesty, you have already changed the life of the king, and now you are going to change the life of a man?" ”。 )
