Chapter 908 - Knees That Don't Bend
Tang Yi is a very kind person, he will always give others the right to choose, so he is more popular than the domineering tall beard, but those who are familiar with Tang Yi know that this choice is actually meaningless, at most it is just an unnecessary struggle for a while.

Longqing wanted to do a big deal, Tang Yi completely followed his thoughts, and the scale was so large that it even exceeded His Majesty the Emperor's estimate.
Let's just talk about the countries that came to watch the ceremony, Champang, Turpan, Samarkand, Tianfang, Annam, Siam, Lumi, Hami, Xifan, Joseon, Luzon, ...... There are no less than fourteen or fifteen subject nations alone.
Since Zheng He's fleet stopped, it was the first time that so many envoys from the vassal kingdom had come at one time.
In addition, there are Franco, British, French, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Prussian, Italian ...... Nearly a dozen missions from Xiyi countries.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a mission, because it was less than three months before and after the start of the ceremony, and it was not possible to sail to Europe by ship, and in fact most of them were pretended to be merchants.
Tang Yi doesn't care much about this, anyway, Lao Tzu won't give you anything back this time, let you feel the power of Da Ming, there's nothing wrong with it!
Of course, he didn't break it, Sage Kong still needs three thousand disciples to decorate the façade, so that these strange, red-haired and blue-eyed guys can open the eyes of the old and young masters in the capital, how many years have passed, and the grand scene of all countries coming to the dynasty has appeared again.
From top to bottom, almost everyone was immersed in joy.
The wealthy merchants of the capital and the gentry from all over the country rushed to the capital, sparing no expense, to buy a VIP invitation from the Ministry of Rites, and then they could stand in the stands and enjoy the glory with His Majesty the Emperor and the crown prince, which may not be the case once in a lifetime.
In fact, Shen has always said that there are few, and the invitations at the top have reached an astonishing three thousand taels!
Tang Yi never makes a loss-making business.
Representatives of dozens of countries, tens of thousands of civil and military officials, gentry and ordinary people, and thousands of elite soldiers, the battle was much larger than that of the earlier dynasties.
Most of them may only have seen the royal style once in their lives, and even if they are old, they will tell their children and grandchildren about the exciting scene at the bedside.
Thinking of this, Longqing no longer feels that he can be discounted, no matter what, he has to hold on!
……
The auspicious day, the three scholars, the important ministers of Jiuqing, and the three princes who have never had a sense of existence have also arrived, leading the nobles, and the civil and military east and west are facing each other, which is one of the few times when the civil and military can be juxtaposed.
Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong took the lead, looked up, and was confused for a while, standing in the first place of the civil official turned out to be his cheap nephew Tang Yi!
Boy, it's only been a few years, and you're in the position of a great minister!
Seeing Zhu Xizhong's surprised eyes, Tang Yi shrugged helplessly. There is no way, who made Longqing pay attention to the ceremony, Li Chunfang has no other ability, so he has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he is clear about the etiquette and regulations, and he personally served as the master of ceremonies and presided over the canonization ceremony.
Tang Yi, as the second assistant, naturally stood in the first place among the civil officials, next to him was Zhao Zhenji, and then Yang Bo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, but in the future, it was not other Jiuqing ministers, but a bunch of old antiques that Tang Yi had just gotten.
Shaobao Hu Zongxian is second only to Yang Bo, followed by Ge Shouli, Gao Yi, Mao Kai, and then Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng, Tang Ruji and others.
In the face of today's situation, Zhang Ju is deeply powerless.
In fact, Xu Jie's downfall, Zhang Juzheng was still a little excited. Xu Huating is conservative, it is no longer suitable for today's Ming Dynasty, and it is the best choice to retire and give the opportunity to young people who are more accomplished.
Zhang Juzheng is very confident, he and Tang Yi are both emperors, although the Tang Party is huge, but as long as he absorbs part of the power of the Xu Party, plus the Holy Family, he can make a difference.
The idea is very wonderful, but since Tingtui University Scholar, Tang Yi has made repeated moves, which has made Zhang Juzheng completely comprehend!
The gap between him and Tang Yi is not only the strength on the surface, but also the means of pattern, and even includes open-mindedness, which is backward in an all-round way.
Ask yourself, if you come to power, you must want to kill all these old things and take over the power! But Tang Yi did the opposite, calling the old-timers back to the capital, compared to Xu Jie's use of the edict to reprimand the ministers who were convicted, Tang Yi's actions were more thorough and more effective!
These old things are grateful to him, and Longqing does not doubt Tang Yi's dictatorship, the sages are complete, everyone is in the dynasty, and the scholars are up and down, clapping their hands.
Even those officials couldn't find an excuse to attack Tang Yi, it was really exquisite!
Perhaps it has always been wrong to regard Tang Yi as the biggest opponent from beginning to end. Zhang Juzheng was full of doubts, and secretly sighed and shook his head.
However, those present did not pay attention to him, and the canonization ceremony had already begun...... In the morning light, the guards of the palace Jin Wuwei were majestically lined up on the east and west sides outside the noon gate. Outside the Fengtian Gate, the flag hunting, the guard of honor is strict.
Gong Weisi displayed the guard of honor in the east and west of Dan and the east and west of Danbu. Wenlou and Wulou placed the ceremonial car grid in the south. The shepherds set up horses in Chegenam and lined up the trained tigers and leopards outside the Mukden Gate. Dan Ma'nan sets up a musical orchestra conducted by Woo Sing Lang.
The royal music, dignified and solemn, the weather is majestic, showing the magnanimity of the country.
Just this pomp, Wenwu saw it in his eyes and stretched out his thumbs.
That's it! It's worth the money!
The officials of Honglu Temple led the drum music and honor guards to welcome the treasure to the East Palace and welcome the prince.
The first assistant, Li Chunfang, led Shang Baoqing and the attendant guards to respectfully go to the Jianji Hall to welcome Emperor Xia. Longqing wore a ceremonial dress and went to Fengtianmen.
At this time, the crown prince stood outside the Fengtian Gate in full costume, waiting for his father to arrive. Long Qing got up and left his seat under the support of the close attendants, and took a chariot from the Jinshen Hall to the Fengtian Temple. Shang Baoqing held the emperor's seal, and the attendant guided the holy car, and came to Fengtianmen in the sound of music.
Li Chunfang personally supported the prince, boarded the chariot, Longqing rushed to the outside of the Imperial Palace with his son, he patted Zhu Yijun on the shoulder, the little prince nodded vigorously, and his dark eyes were exceptionally bright.
Longqing walked into the main hall with confidence, accepted the bowing of the ministers, and shouted long live. Each step has a strict time limit, and it has been rehearsed countless times in advance, and the slightest mistake cannot be used.
Here's the official canonization ceremony. Li Chunfang, as the undertaker, knelt down to the emperor to accept the system, stood up, stood outside the door, and shouted: "There is a system." ”
The celebrant shouted, "Kneel!" ”
Zhu Yijun hurriedly knelt down, and Li Chunfang read at the top of his throat: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict...... Zhu Yijun, the eldest son of the emperor, descended from the spirit, attacked the saint's virtue, taught deeply, and collected the great results early...... The style of the audit order, containing the coat of arms, is used as the crown prince...... Chin this! ”
After the crown prince received the decree, the usher led the way and entered the hall through the east gate of the main hall. The inner zan official led the prince to the throne to worship the throne. After kowtowing to the cheap father, Li Chunfang once again held the crown prince's treasure book, knelt on the ground, and after reading it, handed it to the crown prince Zhu Yijun. The crown prince then handed it over to the envoy of the treasure and the treasure.
Prostrate and flattened. Holding the book, the treasure envoy leads, and the prince walks out of the hall. In His Majesty Dan bowed, solemnly bowed. The envoy put the book and treasure in place.
The whole process was extremely cumbersome, making Li Chunfang sweat profusely, the little prince's face was pale, and he almost fainted, and the flesh on Longqing's distressed face kept twitching.
However, Tang Yi just watched with his eyes, and he finally felt that it was right not to rush Li Chunfang away, at least he didn't have the heart to play with children.
According to common sense, the crown prince still has to go to the temple of the thirsty sect and pay homage to the ancestors.
However, due to Tang Yi's proposal for a military parade, the next regulations were changed. Longqing took the crown prince Zhu Yijun to board the chariot, and the rest of the civil and military ministers followed him to the outside of Fengtian Gate.
There are newly made four-wheeled carriages, the largest and most majestic of which naturally belonged to the emperor and the crown prince. After Longqing got into the four-wheeled carriage, twelve black dragon horses pulled the carriage. On both sides were the guards of the gold-armored knights, who came out of the Great Interior, and when they arrived outside, they caused a burst of exclamations!
Where is the emperor's carriage, it is simply a god descending from heaven!
The first moment the horse of the divine horse, the fur like black satin, the golden carriage, and the majestic knight appeared, it firmly grasped everyone's heart, and the people couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride.
Everywhere they went, the cheers continued, and the black and oppressive crowd, under the arrangement of the officials, bowed down neatly, and waited until the royal carriage passed, so that they could raise their heads and admire the demeanor of the emperor and the crown prince.
Longqing sat in the carriage, enjoying the worship of all the people, cheering, and the whole person was about to fly. After being aggrieved for most of my life, I finally have a bright future!
Even the little prince pursed his lips despite his exhaustion, and kept looking outside, his heart surging.
The civil and military ministers also took the carriage and followed closely to the Fengtai camp.
The direct result of this tour was that most of the sedan drivers in the capital were unemployed, and the four-wheeled carriage became the most fashionable and popular means of transportation. The carriage factory located in the small station made a lot of money, of course, Tang Yi would not take this little money to heart.
When they arrived at the door of the Fengtai camp, representatives and envoys of various countries were waiting here.
When he saw the Ming Emperor and the crown prince descending like a god, those loyal vassal states, such as Ryukyu and Luzon, burst into tears with excitement, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed. The other envoys also followed, including the people of the Wa Kingdom, and knelt on their knees, and a large area of black pressure was pressed.
There were only a few Xiyi left who did not kneel, and the officials of Honglu Temple immediately looked at them, and these guys were at a loss, and they also knelt down, both in Britain and France.
In the end, there was only one representative of Spain, who pouted and straightened his back.
"Our Spaniards' knees will not bend, sorry, I can't kneel to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
He stiffened his tongue and said, the eyes of the officials of Honglu Temple almost fell out, fart! Didn't you all kneel during the ceremony? Now Your Majesty is going back and forth, pretending to be a big clove of garlic, do you want to smash the field?
The Spaniard shrugged, ignoring the cannibalistic gaze, at this time Longqing's car had arrived in front of him, he was alone, very funny, and very weird! (To be continued.) )
