Chapter 177: Enthronement Ceremony (1)

After discussing with Zhang Xinda about the enthronement ceremony, from costumes to weapons, from carriages to fireworks, and music, Zhang Xinda prepared in advance in almost all aspects.

At that time, Li Yongji only needs to equip himself and his subordinates with the things that Zhang Xinda transmitted, and then follow the process above the plan, take a trip to the background music of "Memories of the Forbidden City" and modern fireworks, and finally everyone will raise the national flag and play the national anthem together.

It looks simple, but in fact it is not simple, because things like the position of the lady and the guard, as well as their own position, etc., have to be rehearsed in advance, otherwise it is easy to have problems.

Of course, this is just Zhang Xinda's arrangement, relatively speaking, it is relatively simple, for example, the simplest way is to let the guards and ladies get dressed in advance, and then stand in their seats and don't move, and then Li Yongji himself walked into the palace with the accompaniment of music, sat on the dragon chair, and then accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, so it was done.

However, this is all the enthronement ceremony that Li Yongji himself and Zhang Xinda thought about, so I don't know what my father and brother think, and how they plan to arrange it.

When he woke up the next day, when Li Yongji asked Li Yongchang how to hold the enthronement ceremony, he was startled, not because the scene was big, but because the scene was too small.

It turned out that according to Li Yongchang's plan, the so-called enthronement ceremony was three days before the enthronement day, the emperor and the ministers bathed and changed clothes and ate fast, and then waited until the day, and then according to the hour, the hundred officials entered the palace first to stand in their seats, and then the emperor, that is, Li Yongji, entered the palace again, and sat on the dragon chair under the gaze of the civil and military officials. Long live, the emperor said that he was flat, and said the new country name in public, and it was done.

That is to say, the most important thing in the enthronement ceremony is to go through the motions, sit on the dragon chair under the gaze of the civil and military officials, and then accept the mountain call of the hundred officials.

In other words, in the various rituals of antiquity. Enthronement ceremonies are actually relatively simple, much simpler than other celebrations, and of course they can be very complicated, but they must be rehearsed a month in advance, but it is obviously too late now.

"I see." Li Yongji nodded, "Since it's not complicated, then I'll rest assured." ”

"Although the ceremony of the enthronement ceremony is not complicated, there are many things to discuss before." Li Yongchang said, "For example, the new country name." The name of the year must be decided, and in addition, the new dynasty will naturally have a new atmosphere. Regarding the court clothes of the new dynasty, we have also designed a few models, and we have to ask you to decide. ”

"Do you have any opinions on the country name or something?" Li Yongji asked.

"That's what I thought." Li Yongchang smiled. "I asked my father, and he said that we are actually descendants of the Tang Li family, so what about it. The country name is called Datang should not have run, as for the year name, since we are driving out the Tartars and restoring China, I think it is good to call it Xinghua, what do you think? ”

"Hey, didn't I say you, brother, what years are you on, and the Tang Dynasty is still called, how cheesy it is, and it sounds awkward." Li Yongji shook his head, "Let me see, don't call it the Tang Dynasty, we are all sons and daughters of China, so let's call it the Chinese Empire." ”

"This, this ......" Li Yongchang was stunned, "the Chinese Empire? How can there be a country called China? The country name is usually one word. ”

"Who said that the country name can only be one word? How did the Ming and Qing Dynasty come about? ”

"This, that's actually a big word added before the country name." Li Yongchang said, "The country name is enlarged in front, that is from the Yuan Dynasty, and after the Great Yuan is the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, before the Yuan Dynasty, it is generally not called that, at least not officially called so." The previous titles of the Great Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were all called by courtiers and foreigners, not by ourselves. ”

"Oh, follow me to history." Li Yongji shook his head, "If you have to have a word to be a country name, you can call it Hua, in this way, foreigners can call us Chinese you can justifiably call us Chinese...... Forget it, there's no need for this, why do you have to stipulate a country name?

In this way, the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, I am in charge of my empire, I see that the name of the country is called China, and it is usually declared to the outside world that it is the Chinese Empire, which sounds domineering, much better than what the Tang Dynasty sounds. As for why we are descendants of the Tang Dynasty, if you are willing, can you continue to call the palace Daming Palace, don't you say? ”

"This, this ......" Li Yongchang frowned, "Okay, then it's called the Chinese Empire, that year name?" ”

"Xinghua, it's good, it's good, but it's still not loud enough, well, just call it Xinhua." Li Yongji smiled, "The name of the year is called Xinhua, and the next year will be the first year of Xinhua, not bad, not bad." In addition, in terms of calendar, we can implement the parallel system of the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, oh, the Gregorian calendar is the Gregorian calendar, and the lunar calendar is naturally the Shixian calendar.

The Gregorian calendar is according to the year of the Common Era, the lunar calendar, and it is called the Yellow Emperor calendar. I will give you a copy of the Yellow Emperor's calendar when the time comes, and you can compare it yourself. To put it simply, the era of the Yellow Emperor = the era of the Yellow Emperor + 2697, for example, this year is 1860 AD, which is the year 4557 of the Yellow Dynasty.

However, the year of the Common Era is actually more scientific, so we don't need to deliberately add trouble to ourselves for the so-called tradition, this Yellow Emperor calendar is usually used on formal occasions, usually, or play AD, this is called in line with international standards, hahaha. ”

“……”

"Oh, by the way, and the flag and anthem, how did you arrange these?"

"Flag and anthem?" Li Yongchang was stunned, "I haven't heard of the national anthem, but we have arrangements for the national flag, it is the nine-clawed golden dragon quadrangular flag, we have prepared a lot, do you want to take a look now." ”

"If you don't look at it, you don't see it, hey, I know you can't." Li Yongji shook his head, "Then, the national flag must be simple and easy to understand, and the people themselves must be able to draw it, so as to enhance cohesion." The nine-clawed golden dragon is so difficult to draw, and if you don't draw it well, it will become a snake, not good, not good.

Tell me that there is no need for dragons and phoenixes for the national flag, they are all beasts of their own imagination, so what's so good? The national flag will be the five-star red flag of the Jingwu Army, and it will be decided! In addition, the national anthem, since you haven't arranged it, just listen to me, it's "Singing the Motherland"! ”

Li Yongji's "Singing the Motherland" is the latest version, which is Duan Liyang's 2006 children's version, with fewer lyrics and many less sensitive things, which is the most suitable for the national anthem. Of course, if you want to sing the whole book, it is also a revision of the original "Singing the Motherland", for example, the name of the great man in the lyrics has been changed to Li Yongji, and other small places have also been modified, in short, it is a good thing suitable for the chorus.

The 2006 simplified version of the song "Singing the Motherland" has long been widely sung in the Jingwu Army, and it is everyone's favorite song, and together with the five-star red flag, it is considered to be the military song of the Jingwu Army.

Li Yongji feels that this song is actually more appropriate as the national anthem, because this song has more high-spirited self-confidence and arrogance. In comparison, although "March of the Volunteers" is not bad, the tragic atmosphere in it is too strong, and it always makes people feel a sense of persecution, and it is difficult to cultivate a national spirit that is proud of the world under the influence of this atmosphere for a long time!

Of course, the most important thing is that the lyrics in "March of the Volunteers" are too sensitive, look at it, from the beginning: "Get up, people who don't want to be slaves ......" God, Li Yongji is now going to be the emperor, a proper big exploiter and a big dictator, according to the algorithm of the mentor, Li Yongji is the object of defeat, how can he instill this idea in his own people? Absolutely not!

"Singing the Motherland" is different, high-spirited, full of victory and optimistic atmosphere, and also praises the good sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, and even implies a kind of domineering "Chinese interests are higher than a qiē"! Such a song is the most suitable as the national anthem, because the Chinese Empire in the future will inevitably move towards the road of expansion, and such a country and nation are most suitable for songs like "Singing the Motherland", and what is needed is the kind of ambition to win forever and give up who else!
