The country name, year name, national flag, and national anthem have all been decided, and the basic general direction will be fine, and other things such as the constitution actually have no absolute relationship with the enthronement ceremony, and they can be renegotiated after ascending the throne.

The enthronement ceremony is actually a ceremony, that is, to announce a message to the world, that is, Lao Tzu is the emperor, a new leadership team has been established, and you all have to be obedient, which means to establish a name, just like a marriage ceremony.

Of course, if the country has been established for a long time and the system is sound, then the enthronement ceremony will definitely be more complicated, but the founding emperor can make these things simple, and he can have the final say.

If you have enough time, you can naturally discuss the details further, such as how to do the national constitution in the future, how to get the government structure, how to evaluate the grade of officials, etc., but this is not something that can be figured out in a day or two, nor can one or two people finish it, and it must be discussed in a meeting, such as the Constituent Assembly and the like, so at this moment when you have only four days to ascend the throne, you will definitely not bother to play these things.

That is to say, as long as the country name and the year name are determined, the enthronement ceremony can be carried out theoretically, so the next thing to discuss is how to carry out the enthronement ceremony and how to arrange the ceremony.

Originally, Li Yongchang wanted to go back to the Tang Dynasty for this ceremony, so he did a lot of homework in advance, recruited a lot of old scholars, checked a lot of classics, and even found a lot of excellent artists in Suzhou to make a set of "King Qin Breaking Array Music", and planned to use this music as the background music of the enthronement ceremony.

This is not an easy task, the real "Qin King Breaking Array Music" has long been lost, the current set, in fact, is Suzhou, Changzhou and other places of quyi singers brainstorming, according to the records in the classics, remake a set of things, under the banner of "Qin King Breaking Array Music".

In fact, Li Yongchang summoned artists to engage in singing and dancing. In the entertainment industry and even the people in the Jiangnan area, it has long been not news, that is, Li Yongji is usually too busy and never cares about this, so he doesn't know about this matter.

Since his brother is so concerned, Li Yongji will not refuse, and plans to listen to the effect of this "Qin King Breaking Array Music" in advance.

It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, when Li Yongji proposed that he wanted to listen to this song, Li Yongchang quickly called someone to prepare, and then without a meal, he came over and said that it was ready.

Originally, Li Yongji didn't have much to look forward to. It's rare to listen to, but when you really listen to it, you find that it's not like that, and this music is quite good!

The tune of "King Qin's Breaking Array Dance" is completely an impassioned military music, in addition to the big drums, bangzi, as well as chimes, shakuhachi, flutes and other musical instruments, the ancient style is not much worse than modern music.

As soon as Li Yongji heard this song, he suddenly had a feeling of returning to his former rental house. And then the feeling of playing "Total War: Shogun" day and night sounds really exhilarating, not a soft moan.

Of course, this song is good. However, due to the accumulation of technology and knowledge, it is still incomparable with modern music, such as the song "Memories of the Forbidden City", which is much better than this. It is also more suitable for the background music of the enthronement ceremony, after all, this piece itself has a magnificent Chinese style.

Therefore, Li Yongji finally decided to continue to use "Memories of the Forbidden City" as the background music of the enthronement ceremony. This song can be used as an after-entertainment program after the celebration.

After setting the music, Li Yongji saw that Li Yongchang still wanted to continue to worship him, and knew that he couldn't continue to listen to him, and he still had to follow his own after all, no, it was better to follow Zhang Xinda's plan, at least he could accept it better.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yongji withdrew from the others, leaving only Li Yongchang and himself, and then took out a tablet from his arms in the strange eyes of the other party.

"W-what is this?" Sure enough, Li Yongchang, who saw this thing for the first time, was immediately curious, no matter what, he was actually only less than twenty-five years old, and he was still a good young man with strong curiosity.

"It's called a tablet...... Well, that's not the point, the point is, my enthronement ceremony has already been planned for me, and I think you should take a look. ”

After Li Yongji finished speaking, in Li Yongchang's exclamation, he turned on the tablet, and after some explanation, in the other party's continuous exclamation, he called up a dynamic video and showed it to Li Yongchang.

The dynamic video played by Li Yongji on the tablet is actually an animated short film, in which the characters and sets are all animation, as well as live commentary, and with subtitles, of course, the subtitles are all in traditional Chinese.

In the dynamic video, the arrangement and process of the enthronement ceremony are demonstrated in an all-round way, not only the overall effect animation, but also the decomposition animation, such as how to wear the clothes of different people such as guards, ladies, ministers, etc., how to do the modeling, how to walk, etc., all have detailed instructions.

According to the above practice, everyone, including Li Yongji, the emperor himself, must strictly follow the process, that is, pinch the time to walk to the designated position, and then pinch the time to make relevant actions, such as bowing, cheering and other processes, all of which have rules and cannot be messed around.

There are also rules on what music to play at what time, when to fire a salute, how many salutes to fire, when to fire guns, and how many shots to fire.

Don't look at the decomposition is very troublesome, but the renderings are good, simple and luxurious, it is enough to do an enthronement ceremony, and even Li Yongchang himself is full of expectations.

"I think it's good." After reading it, Li Yongchang sighed, "Just follow this, it's much better than me to arrange." However, we didn't prepare these costumes, carriages, or anything like that in advance. ”

"Don't worry, I've got the props ready." Li Yongji smiled, "You only need to gather people over, and we can rehearse two or three times in advance." Well, what you have to convene is the civil ministers of all parties, and when the time comes, we will naturally arrange the ceremonial officers and teach them how to move, and there is no need to worry about styling, I have my own stylist, and I am fully responsible. ”

Indeed, Li Yongji really has his own stylist, this stylist is one of his personal maids, Lili, she usually likes to dress up the most, often learns the modern etiquette and styling brought by Li Yongji, and experiments in those young guards and maids, for a long time. has also become a master of this way.

Of course, although Lili likes to dress up, but at the beginning it was just instinct and nature, and it was impossible to learn these things purposefully, let alone these, the reason why she was able to become a master in this field was that Li Yongji saw that she had a bit of a hobby and talent in this area, and felt that she should have some rules and decency in the future, so she asked Zhang Xinda to make a set of nondescript Chinese gifts in advance, and made a series of live-action demonstration videos. Then let Lili learn.

The so-called Chinese rites are actually a series of people's manners in different occasions and different states, including how women do, how men do, how to do on what occasions, etc., all have requirements.

Although there are many requirements, if you compare it with the ancient etiquette, it will be greatly simplified, because the Chinese ceremony does not pay attention to kneeling. It's more about bowing, yes, just like in modern Japan, kneeling is no longer played between superiors and subordinates. Just playing bowing and bowing is half a level of improvement.

According to the requirements, peers and colleagues are holding fists and bowing to each other, and juniors are facing elders. That's bowing and bowing.

If you are facing your boss, you usually bow your hand, but on formal occasions, you only bow with your hands on the outside of your thighs. The greater the class difference, the greater the bow. Among them, only when facing the emperor, no matter what status, it must be a ninety-degree bow, and there is no need to bend ninety degrees at other times, that is to say, ninety degrees of bending is the highest etiquette, and this salute can only be performed to the emperor.

The bow salute is between ordinary people and civilians, which is considered an ancient style, but between officers, it is necessary to perform modern military salutes, even for systems other than officers.

The kneeling ceremony is also maintained, but only when the emperor is worshiped at an important celebration or on a special festival to worship the ancestors, it is strictly forbidden to kneel in peacetime, and it is a crime to kneel in public without a special reason, or if someone other than the emperor forces others to kneel.

Li Yongji doesn't remember where he saw an article saying that kneeling is different from bowing, but in fact it interrupts the integrity and backbone of the nation, and only when the whole people do not kneel and the whole people develop the habit of standing up with their heads up, can they subtly change the kind of timid thinking and become more aggressive.

Although this statement may not be accurate, Li Yongji himself does hate kneeling, which may be related to his modern thinking, so he is simply ready to set the rules in the form of the law, that is, except for special circumstances, for special people, such as the emperor, the dead ancestors, or filming and activities, etc., it is not allowed to kneel at will under other circumstances.

In other words, after a man has gold under his knees, it is no longer a common name, but it must be practiced, because once he kneels in public to another person in public without a reason, is seen, or is reported, then he will be fined, and the amount of the fine depends on the severity of the circumstances, the minimum is one tael of silver, and the maximum is ten thousand taels.

If someone is forced to kneel, the person who is forced to kneel is arrested, and if the person is forced to do so and does not go to the court, then he is also criminalized.

That is to say, even if you are loyal and willing to kneel to your master, or you can only kneel secretly, if you are found out and reported, then both parties are guilty.

The reason for doing this is that Li Yongji understands that if you don't play coercive measures, with the characteristics of the Chinese at this time, you can't do anything at all, and the Chinese just recognize the word coercion, if you don't force it, you can recite any scripture for you.

Of course, these are only for adults, minors are not in this case, minors can also play kneeling, and Li Yongji can no longer forcibly cut this thing.

As for the article reserved for the emperor to kneel on special ceremonies, such as the enthronement ceremony, there is a ceremony of hundreds of officials kneeling. Leaving this etiquette is a compromise between Li Yongji and everyone, and it is also a good way to strengthen his emperor's power, after all, uniqueness itself has a strong suggestive psychology, and besides, if kneeling to the emperor is simply regarded as a traditional etiquette, it is also reasonable.

This is all popular etiquette, as for more complex court etiquette, it is restricted to more detailed aspects, and even there are regulations on how many times a bowl should be washed, but this is all binding on servants, not Li Yongji's own.

These things are naturally learned from modern Japan, for example, in many restaurants in Japan, there are requirements on how to brush the dishes and chopsticks, how many times to brush, and even the placement of the dishes and chopsticks are also clearly defined.

Li Yongji thinks that this is actually a good example of learning, only by paying attention to the rules can we be more orderly. And the Chinese, no, it should be said that Asians, seem to be more inclined to order, you give them too much freedom, but it will be bad.

Although many of the things I learned were Japanese, they were all modern Japan, which was completely different from the Japan of 1860, and you must know that the Japanese emperor in 1860 was still weak, and the imperial family did not have so many rules at all. There were even fewer folk rules, and unlike modern Japan, the popular practice in Japan at this time was to kneel, not bow, which was only played by people above the samurai class.

In short, the revised version of Chinese etiquette that Zhang Xinda made people make up is simple and complex, elegant and vulgar, and these things are sent in the form of video teaching, and then let Lili learn it. To experiment, and then to summarize yourself, slowly became your own set of internal etiquette system, especially the shape in it. Lili even played nine times out of ten.

Now, according to this process, you don't need Lili to make too advanced etiquette arrangements, you just need to let Lili follow the decomposition video in the demonstration process. Just make zuò styles for the ladies, and as for the costumes and styling of the officials, they will do it themselves.

In terms of clothing. Although Li Yongji is under the banner of reviving China and reviving the Han nationality, he does not think that traditional Hanfu is necessarily suitable, because whether it is traditional Hanfu or modern Hanfu, it is too cumbersome and not neat enough, so he stipulates that the clothing is divided into two types: regular clothes and formal dresses.

In addition to maintaining Chinese elements such as stand-up collars, arrow sleeves, disc buckles, and plackets, regular clothes are also added, and four pockets are added outside.

According to the regulations, all officials must wear Tang costumes, that is, Zhongshan suits, during the office, and the grades of different officials cannot be seen directly from the clothes, but can only be distinguished by the badges worn by guò.

That's right, Li Yongji plans to popularize the badge system among officials as well, and the badge will indicate your rank and official position, so that people can know at a glance what you do and what level of official you are. Of course, the previous official card system can also be retained, but it is generally not taken out at will, only as an honorary thing, and what really needs to be presented is the official's certificate.

Formal clothes are usually worn, but if there is a heavy etiquette, or if there is an occasion such as a drinking party, you can wear a formal dress.

The dress is different from the Tang costume, it is a complete Hanfu style, but it is a modified modern Hanfu template, with the addition of shoulder pads and waist pinching, a total of three layers of clothes, which will appear more structured and slender.

All the dresses are also the same style, all of them are navy blue, with wide robes with large sleeves and black gauze hats with moon white patterns, these dresses are actually a kind of costume that has been improved by the costumes of the modern "Legend of Xinwu Meiniang".

The reason why the dress is also made into a style is not that it must be so, but for the time being, Li Yongji has not yet set a grade system for officials, and it is not good to divide the clothing according to the grade, and the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, and it is too late to re-grade it, so it is better to simply wear a dress for officials, if it looks the same, it is better to look at uniformity.

That is to say, although there is a distinction between regular clothes and dresses, there is no way to directly see the size of the grade from the clothing, and can only be distinguished by the guò badge or official card.

However, even if the dress will change in the future, so that people can directly see the grade and size of the dress, Li Yongji will make a rule that only officials are allowed to wear regular clothes during office hours or in public, and only in private occasions or special festival celebrations, officials can wear dresses.

It can be seen from these things that although Li Yongji did not give up Hanfu, he actually wanted to make Hanfu high-end, and only regarded it as the ceremonial clothing of the Han family.

There are many natural benefits to doing this, the first of which is that it can increase efficiency.

Perhaps, how can a change of clothes increase efficiency? This is not a joke, some studies have shown that wearing complex ancient clothes to the office is not as efficient as clothes like tunics and suits.

Besides, with the development of science and technology, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, clothing simplicity is the general trend, why did China not revive Hanfu in later generations, in addition to ideology and habits and other reasons, the most important thing is that modern clothing is more concise and convenient, more able to adapt to the fast-paced life.

In addition to efficiency, the second point is to increase national integration. You must know that the national characteristics of the Han costumes are actually quite obvious, if the official uniforms are all Hanfu, it will be difficult for many other ethnic groups to integrate, at least visualize. On the contrary, it will be much easier to make a new costume that is completely different from the past and promote it in the name of the national costume and the country.

In the near future, the Chinese Empire led by Li Yongji will inevitably not have only such a small place, it will inevitably expand outward, and a large number of other ethnic groups will inevitably be accepted in, and there will inevitably be foreigners as officials.

On the contrary, if the Han people were treated equally, and the Han people also wore a new national costume called Tang costume, then the situation would be a little better, at least to justify itself.

Seriously, if according to Li Yongji's original intention, he advocates a comprehensive Zhongshan costume and does not play with the dress, or Zhang Xinda has to engage in things like regular dresses, saying that the medicine retains Chinese elements, plus Zhang Xinda has already done a good job, and he has customized a lot of clothes, so it is not good to wipe his face, so he wants to come down.

In short, Li Yongji now has all the costumes and props, as well as a complete plan, and the next thing he needs is to let the actors, no, let his subordinates rush over to cooperate with a rehearsal, and then at the official enthronement ceremony four days later, in the face of many people and foreign guests, the ceremony will be completed according to the requirements.

That being said, it must be complicated to do in practice, at least it won't be much easier, plus he has to rush to Suzhou to busy rehearsals, so in the past four days, Li Yongji still has a lot of things to do, and it is estimated that he has no time to be lazy. (To be continued......)
