Chapter 436: Destiny Has Its Own Mandate
There are not many people who understand the rituals of sacrificing to the sky, and Shi Yizhi is also one of them, watching the sixteen Ming kings stand apart in the mound, this is to worship the throne. [High-quality update] In other words, this ceremony has officially begun, and there will be no Ming Emperor.
Shi Yizhi understood, and the Like people led by Liang Zaichen understood it even more clearly, their faces were twisted, and the blush of excitement turned into unbelievable heat, many people took a deep breath and were about to shout, but they were coldly watched by a group of officials around them.
Li Zhushou's suppressed anger came in a low voice: "Everyone...... Is it to disrupt the heavenly ceremony? β
Liang Zaichen stomped his feet and said, "This ...... This is not polite!? β
Li Zhushou raised his eyebrows: "Where is it not polite?" β
At this time, a Ming king has already bowed to the north, it is Zhu Ciyun, the king of Xiang, it seems that he is the person who is the main sacrifice.
Liang Zaichen pointed at Zhu Ciyun, his fingers trembling:
He ...... He should be on the throne first, and then ...... Sacrifice to the heavens again! β
Li Zhushou sneered: "What does the throne have to do with worshipping the sky?" Now it's a sacrifice to the sky, where is it not polite? β
Liang Zaichen has nothing to say, there has always been a substitute sacrifice for the sky, and the prince sacrifices on behalf of the prince, which is natural. Thinking that maybe today was just a sacrifice to the sky, and the matter of Emperor Liming should be behind, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But looking at the crowds of people around this heaven, Liang Zaichen was skeptical of his inference, it was just a simple sacrifice, why did he attract so many people? I have to be busy for most of the day to worship the heavens, and if I want to establish an emperor today, I am afraid that there is no time, and the place is not right. The establishment of the emperor should be held in the main hall of the Boundless Palace, which is a more solemn thing, and it should not be held in front of the people.
In addition to this question, the bigger question is, what about Li Shi?
Why didn't Li Xi show up?
Liang Zaichen's heart was in a mess, and the other Confucians also looked at each other. But they didn't dare to make a noise, messing up the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, and from the perspective of the "ceremony" they kept, it was a more terrible sin than the loss of honor in front of the king.
At this time, the worship of heaven has entered the first stage, which is to welcome the emperor. "The Chapter of Shiping" sounded loudly, and Zhu Ciyun walked from the middle layer of the mound to the upper level, and seemed to be holding something in his arms. Coming to the main seat of the Haotian God Tablet, he held this thing high and displayed it left and right, and the officials and Kong Shangren were in an uproar, it was the Yongli tablet.
In the music, Zhu Ciyun held the Yongli tablet, knelt in front of the main seat of Haotian God, offered incense, and then knelt three times and bowed nine times, and the remaining fifteen princes who stood in the middle of the worship seat also bowed to the god. γHigh-quality updatesγ
Then Zhu Ciyun bowed to the throne of the Emperor of the Four Directions, and then bowed to the tablets of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty on the case.
After the first ceremony, followed by the second ceremony, the jade silk was laid, and the "Jingping Chapter" was played, and the third ceremony was entered and the "Xianping Chapter" was played.
The fourth rite is the first offering, which is to offer the knight to the gods and play the "Chapter of Fengping". On the lower floor of the mound, the guards in gorgeous uniforms danced the "Dance of Relatives", and then the music stopped, and Si Zhu Tang Sun Ho knelt down to read the blessings. After the text, Zhu Ciyun continued to hold the Yongli tablet, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and then offered a knight in front of the throne.
The fifth ceremony is the sub-dedication, playing the "Jiaping Chapter" and dancing the "Dance of the Feathers". The sixth ceremony is the final ceremony, which plays the "Chapter of Yongping" and then dances the "Dance of the Feathers". The seventh ceremony was withdrawn and the "Chapter of Xiping" was played. The eighth gift was sent to the emperor god, playing the "Qingping Chapter", the sacrifice was sent to the furnace for burning, Zhu Ciyun came to the Wangliao position with the tablet and played the "Taiping Chapter".
When the ninth ceremony is over, I will watch the sacrifices burn and play the "Chapter of Youping", and the ceremony will end.
The whole process, originally there was a break between each ceremony, but under the scheduling of the internal and external hosts, there was no pause, at least two hours or more of the ceremony, less than an hour to end, at this time noon has not passed.
Seeing that Zhu Ciyun was still standing on the round hill, everyone knew that the matter was not over yet. Liang Zaichen and others were even more hopeful, although the place was wrong, but the goal of establishing the emperor and ascending the throne was achieved.
Zhu Ciyun, who knelt down and was dizzy, took a deep breath, arched his hand and held up a card, and on the inside of the big sleeves of his gown, there was a densely written article, which was the draft of his speech.
"I Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, angry with the rule of Mongolia Yidi, swayed from the grass, cleansed China, and established the emperor's industry, which has been three hundred and forty-nine years now...., the mound is surrounded by an arc-shaped inner edge, and the sound waves are reflected back and forth, spreading far away, and the entire Temple of Heaven. Hundreds of thousands of people held their breath and listened to Zhu Ciyun's words.
Zhu Ciyun is summarizing the rule of the Ming Dynasty, not only praising the inner benevolence and outer strength of the Ming Dynasty, praising the Chinese backbone condensed by the Ming Dynasty, but also criticizing the failure of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. , and then Zhu Ciyun said, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the sky has changed from time to time, and the Ming Emperor has not been able to listen to the heavens, knowing the time and progressing, so that the people are in turmoil, and it is difficult to calm down. After Chongzhen died, although the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty tried their best to cheer up, it was difficult to return to the sky. Yongli died in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was even more unorthodox in China.
"The Ming Dynasty inherited the mandate of heaven, and its death was also determined by the mandate of heaven, and the merits and demerits have their own descendants. We are waiting for the Zhu Ming clan, in the position of Yongli, here for the Ming sacrifice to the sky, and return the mandate of heaven to God! The continuation of my Chinese destiny will be given by God. β
When Zhu Ciyun said this, the originally silent Temple of Heaven was tightly covered by a layer of cold air, and Liang Zaichen and other Confucian soils, including Kong Shangren, were all pale, clutching their chests and panting, as if they heard the sound of heaven and earth collapsing.
None of them thought that this sacrifice to the sky would be a direct Zen position!
No, not the Zen position. Successive dynasties have regarded themselves as inheriting the mandate of heaven, and the Zen position is to hand over the mandate of heaven to the successor monarch. For example, when the Han Dynasty Zen let Cao Wei, Cao Wei Chan let Jin, and even the system of Zen that continued to the Song Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, it was all transferred to the mandate of heaven.
But now Zhu Ciyun is honored by the sixteen former Ming princes, with the tablet of Yongli, on behalf of Zhu Ming Zhengshuo, and the coffin of Zhu Ming's rule is finalized, and he declares that he will return the mandate of heaven. I also told everyone that whoever takes over this destiny again has nothing to do with us Zhu Ming, we Zhu Ming ...... It's dead! The mission of history has been accomplished, and it has become history completely!
What's going on?
That's right, it's not Zen. Zhu Ciyun's words were very clear, and since then, there has been no Zhu Ming.
Although this sounds like nonsense, Yongli has been killed for more than fifty years, and Zhu Ming has been dead for more than fifty years. But Zhu Mingyi still has the hearts of the people on the 1st, this is the Taoist system, Zhu Ming still has many clan descendants, this is the legal system. Zhu Ming has a lot of seeds, scattered everywhere, and there is still the possibility of recovery.
Tang Youzeng couldn't stop coughing, it was he trying his best to suppress the excited smile, Shi Yizhi also let out a sigh, and secretly said in his heart, Li Tianwang, it is really a good way to manipulate people's hearts!
Kong Shangren's mind was blank at this time, and Da Ming ...... Gone? It's just gone?
Liang Zaichen even boiled a pot of porridge in his brain, how could this be? How did it come to this? Isn't it Liming? Why is it that the emperor has not yet been established, and he has been extinct in history? Unprecedented, unruly!
But he couldn't shout, it was unprecedented, but it wasn't rude. Because the sixteen princes present represent Zhu Ming's bloodline, and they also sacrifice to heaven with the eternal calendar tablet, the law system of the former Ming Dynasty is on them, and they have the right to dispose of Zhu Ming's legal system.
Originally, Liang Zaichen and others were waiting for them to deal with it, whether it was on the throne or Zen concession, no matter what they said, it was up to them from a legal point of view.
But now, Zhu Ciyun represents this group of clans, and directly returns Zhu Ming's mandate to heaven, and Zhu Ming is completely destroyed, which is legally cut off from any possibility of regaining his sight in the future.
And that's not all..... Fan Jin on the side, together with Han Yi, and even Fang Tangheng, who was in charge of guarding in the field, and even Chen Ju, who was far away outside the Temple of Heaven, all showed a relieved smile. All the black-clothed guards, guards and pro-army, the students of the Huangpu Martial Arts School, and the officers and soldiers of the various officers and soldiers also smiled.
We, Yinghua, will not take over the mandate of heaven from Zhu Ming's hands. Now that Zhu Ming has returned the Mandate of Heaven to Lao Yao, let's take it ourselves!
"Now enshrined in the Yongli tablet Ming ancestral temple, the number of the eternal calendar, absolutely in seventy-one years, since then my Zhu Ming Emperor Ancestral Hall will be fixed and sealed ......"
Everyone was still in a state of flux, Zhu Ciyun let out a long shout, the Yongli tablet returned to the book, and the tablet of the emperors of Zhu Ming stood side by side, and the fifteen princes came to the upper level and knelt down with Zhu Ciyun.
In the Manchu era, the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, the third year of the Yinghua era, the Yongli era lasted to the thirty-seventh year in Zheng Keshuang, and then renewed under the rule of Yinghua, extending to seventy-one years. But this continuation is only to draw an official end, and from then on, Zhu Ming will be completely reduced to history.
"Sure enough, sister, you princess is really not powerful."
Yan Sanniang said this to Zhu Yuyou, who looked stunned, and the latter felt that this disposition was really incomprehensible, and it was hard to imagine in advance that many people in Yinghua shouted Liming, and what they got was to claim that Zhu Ming was completely gone.
"But what's next? What's next? King...... How do you take this destiny? β
Zhu Yuyou was worried instead, how to get the mandate of heaven, this is related to the issue of legal system. Li Shi established the country, with Ying as the name, this country is inherited from the Chinese Taoism, but where should Li Shi's royal legal system come from? If it is Zhu Ming's Zen position, the legal system can come from Zhu Ming, and now let Zhu Ming die, and Yinghua is not mentioned in the absolute position, but it is said that God has granted it, how should Li Xi get it? , "The fourth brother is here, and he has a fake beard! β
Guan Ko's eyes were sharp, and he found out for the first time, Yan Sanniang and An Jiuxiu both laughed.
"What kind of fake beard, I still helped trim it, but Xi Xi was mischievous on the side, so I had to keep a bare chin."
Yan Sanniang nagged, but Guan Ko pursed her mouth, obviously annoyed that she hadn't pestered her fourth brother well during this time.
"It's a pity...... Sister Pan isn't here, she should have come to watch this scene. β
An Jiuxiu sighed otherwise, but Zhu Yuyou's mind was in a trance again. Dressed in a plain white filial piety suit and wearing a gauze scarf, Li Xi is playing from the middle gate. As soon as he appeared, he attracted more than 100,000 shouts.
"Heavenly King!"
"Hooray!"
Watching this plain white figure walk towards the mound step by step, Zhu Yu said leisurely, this title should be changed soon, and a new era is coming.
