Chapter 110: Enthronement Ceremony (Four Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zhao Liewen smiled confidently, and opened his mouth to quote the classics: "The emperor's surname is Li, and the surname Li is the surname with the largest number of emperors and the largest number of political power since Yan and Huang, according to my statistics, there are more than 100 emperors." It has successively built the Cheng Han, Xiliang, Tang Dynasty, Later Tang Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty, Western Xia, Li Shu, until the Great Shun Dynasty established by King Li Zicheng.
But the surname Li has an origin, from the surname Ji. During the Shang Dynasty, there were descendants of Zhou with the same surname, named Ba people, who lived in Zhongli Mountain. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he sealed the Ba people in Ba and called Bazi Kingdom, and King Qin Hui sent Sima to destroy Ba Country by mistake. Some of the Ba people who stayed in Chongqing became Banmu Dunman, while the Ba people who moved south to Xiangxi became part of Wulingman, and those who migrated to eastern Hubei were called Jiangxia Man and Wushui Man. When the tiger totem evolved into a surname, the Ba people admired the surname of the Han people, so they used the surname Li according to the sound. β
When Meng Sheng heard this, he immediately retaliated, and asked aggressively: "Lord Zhao is saying that the emperor is the queen of Yiren?" β
Zhao Liewen smiled slightly and explained: "Tracing its origin, the emperor is the same sect as King Wen of Zhou, and the minister asked His Majesty to take 'Zhou' as the name of the country, and the Great Zhou Dynasty established by King Wen of Zhou has been more than 800 years before and after, and it has not been reached by all dynasties. β
Jiao Liang said: "The word Zhou is not good, the people are rumored that the emperor raised troops to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and heaven and earth will be all over China, if the emperor takes 'Ming' as the national name, the people of the world will definitely obey the wind, and millions of brothers in heaven and earth will also be willing to rely on the emperor's drive, so that it is easy to drive out the Tartars." β
encountered a problem of principle, Chang Dachun also began to rebel, and admonished Li Yunzhong: "It is ridiculous to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor of the previous dynasty only knew how to play and enjoy himself because he ignored government affairs. The people suffered, and this is why the thief Li Zicheng rebelled. After years of war and chaos, the Qing Dynasty finally gave the Qing Dynasty an opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Now the common people do not miss the previous dynasty in the slightest, and if they rashly use the word 'Ming' as the name of the country, I am afraid it will backfire. β
Li Yunzhong looked at the following argument with interest at the beginning, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, as if only his own opinion was right, and the others were all crooked and heretical, the treacherous and cunning Lu Jianying, the taciturn Chang Dachun, and the clever Zhao Liewen. The kind-hearted Meng rises, and the witty Jiao Liang ...... At this time, they were all spitting one by one, arguing with each other, looking at each other, and suddenly feeling bored.
Lu Jianying said stubbornly: "The Tang Dynasty is powerful in the Western Regions, even foreigners have heard of it, if Tang is used as the national name, foreigners will be afraid and dare not invade." Besides, the emperor is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the name of the Tang Dynasty is inherited by the emperor, and no one can gossip. β
Li Yunxin sighed: It seems that they have done everything to compete for the naming right of the country, and even Lu Jianying, an old stubborn, can borrow the metaphor of a foreigner.
"It's a clichΓ©. Regardless of whether Li Yuan is the emperor's ancestor or not, this Tang Dynasty has been more than a thousand years ago, and who among the people still remembers who Li Yuan is. I think it's good for Daming, and the sun and moon are clear for me! How domineering this is! "Jiao Liang has already identified the country name of Daming.
Zhao Liewen insisted on his own opinion. Shaking his head at Jiao Liang and said, "No, no, no, all the people in the world with the surname Li are from the surname Ji." And the surname Ji is the descendant of the emperor's great-grandson Emperor Yu, His Royal Highness established the Great Zhou and promised the mandate of heaven, which is the best. β
Li Yunzhong couldn't bear the soak of urine he had been holding back since the morning, and seeing that they were still arguing, he got up and said angrily: "What is there to fight for a country name, I have already decided, the country name will be 'Han', and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" In addition, after the Han Dynasty, we called ourselves China, that is, the country of the central government, and everyone said that there was no China after Yashan, and I just wanted to build a bloody China. β
Lu Jianying immediately praised: "The Son of Heaven has a way, guarding in Siyi, the emperor lives in the center, and Siyi comes to worship, which is in line with the current situation, His Royal Highness is wise, and Weichen admires." β
Zhao Liewen also did not want to lag behind, and said impassionedly: "There is no China after Yashan!" The word China is good, how many people with lofty ideals and benevolence went to death generously in the Mengyuan and Song Dynasty, and did not surrender until death, and there were more than 100,000 people who spontaneously jumped into the sea to die in the naval battle of Yashan, the so-called poor and lowly can not be moved, and the mighty can not be bent, and Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty committed suicide in the coal mountain, and there was only one eunuch by his side. β
"Ministers swear to the death!" The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all fell to their knees and echoed from the bottom of their hearts.
Wouldn't this be a rehearsal too? Li Yunzhong hurriedly said: "Let's all be even, it's not too early now, I'll invite everyone to dinner, and I'll talk about anything until I finish eating." β
On the second day, Li Yunzhong's enthronement ceremony was held in Nanjing
The Chaoyang Hall has been newly decorated, the ground is covered with a red carpet, the pillars are wrapped in yellow silk, and a yellow screen is added behind Li Yunzhong's seat, the golden dragon flies on the screen, the phoenix soars for nine days, and in front of the screen there are two palace maids holding a long palm fan, which is decorated with peacock feathers.
Lu Jianying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led the ministers to bow to the empty throne and said: "Tell the ceremony to be completed, please take the emperor's throne,"
"Playing music," the ceremonial officer shouted solemnly.
In an instant, the sound of festive music filled the entire Chaoyang Palace, the deacon bent over, holding the crown in both hands and came to Li Yunzhong, Lu Jianying and Meng Sheng held the crown left and right and put it on Li Yunzhong's head.
Later, Li Yunzhong was helped to sit on the throne like a wooden man.
The ceremonial officer sang: "Stop, arrange shifts!" β
Li Yunzhong watched as the ministers quickly lined up in four rows, two rows on the left and right, no longer arranged according to factions, but according to the grades of civil and military officials.
The ceremonial officer sang again: "Kneel! β
The hundred officials immediately bowed three times and bowed nine times: "The ministers see the emperor, may the emperor live long live, long live, long live!" β
The ceremonial officer sang: "Licheng! β
Hu Mengjun solemnly held a brocade box and came to Lu Jianying with both hands.
Lu Jianying also took the brocade box with both hands, came to Li Yunzhong step by step, presented the jade seal, bowed and said: "The emperor has ascended the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure." β
Before Li Yunzhong could make a move, Chang Dachun, who was standing on the side, took the brocade box, saying that the emperor had received the treasure.
The ceremonial officer sang: "Reset!" β
Lu Jianying returned to his original position.
The ceremonial officer sang: "Bow"
The officials did so
The ceremonial officer sang: "Byeong"
The officials did so
β¦β¦
The ceremonial officer sang: "Roll class"
Li Yunzhong got up and left the throne and went to the newly built altar to worship the heavens, and the civil and military officials withdrew from the Chaoyang Hall in an orderly manner.
β¦β¦
It took three consecutive days for the enthronement ceremony to be officially completed, and the first court meeting since Li Yunzhong's accession to the throne began.
Lu Jianying stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Since the founding era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been used to the present, the emperors of all dynasties have their own era names, and since the emperor is the emperor, the Han Dynasty should have an era name." β
Era name, Li Yunzhong knows this thing, such as Tang Taizong's name Zhenguan, Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Xianfeng, these are all era names: "What do you Aiqing propose?" β
Take the year name can not be to the country name, but also must explain the origin and meaning of the year name, no two brushes do not dare to speak at all, this time Meng Sheng, Lin Daji and others closed their mouths with interest, leaving it to Lu Jianying and others to play.
Chang Dachun said: "The emperor raised troops to drive out the Tartars, set things right, and the northern captivity was defeated and retreated, which has something in common with the original Hongwu Emperor's anti-Yuan, which can be called a 'martial' word, and the word 'yuan' has the meaning of big and beginning, and the minister thinks that the word 'Yuan Wu' can match the merits of His Majesty!" β
Li Yunzhong silently recited Yuanwu, shook his head and said: "The word 'Yuan' is not good, Kublai Khan once used it as a country name, so let's change it!" β
Lu Jianying said: "The emperor is kind-hearted, and the ancients are cloudy: the name of the inside and outside, and the heart is virtue." The word 'virtue' is deserved by His Majesty, and it adds up to 'virtue and martial arts', what does the emperor think. β
Dewu! Listening to the ears, Li Yunzhong said happily: "Okay! It's Dewu! Then this year will be called the first year of Dewu! β
Under the leadership of Lu Jianying, the ministers of civil and military affairs shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor!" β
Meng Sheng stepped forward and bowed: "Since the emperor has ascended the throne, yin and yang are combined, and the harem has to set up a queen, and the ministers ask the emperor to make a holy judgment!" β
Li Yunzhong had already discussed it with his wife and announced: "Su Sanniang's real name is Feng Yuniang, and Feng Yuniang is the queen, what do you think of Aiqing?" β
Chang Dachun admonished: "The emperor thinks twice, Feng Yuniang is the second marriage, how can she be the queen, the minister asks the emperor to make another good choice, and Hong Niangniang can't!" β
"The emperor thinks twice!" The Hunan officials all fell to their knees.
When it comes to their own vital interests, Guangxi officials are also unwilling to sit idly by and oppose them one after another.
"Su Niangniang followed the emperor to fight against the Qing Dynasty, fought thousands of miles, and saved the emperor several times during the period, now she is pregnant, and she should inherit the Han when she gives birth to the prince, why can't Feng Niangniang be the queen!" Meng Sheng was the first to refute.
Zhao Liewen, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said: "Women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, the queen's mother is the world, and she is an example for women in the world, how can she be sloppy, please make Xu Niangniang the queen!" β
Li Xiucheng objected: "Xu Niangniang has no credit, how can she convince the public, the queens of all dynasties also have people who remarry, you oppose Su Niangniang as the queen for this reason, it's too far-fetched!" β
Li Yunzhong had made up his mind, and he didn't want to dwell on this issue, and announced loudly: "I have decided to make Yuniang the queen, you don't need to say more, Li Hong Xuanjiao and Xu Yuexiang are the concubines, and Fu Shanxiang is the concubine!" β
Lu Jianying and the others looked defeated, and agreed reluctantly, especially Jiao Liang, he didn't expect King Han to love Su Sanniang so much, he discussed with Lu Jianying for half a month, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to fail.
"When the emperor ascends the throne, the people and scholars of the world will be excited and compete to vote, and there are still many positions in the court, no one holds them, please ask the emperor to take Enke, and choose the best!" Chang Dachun decided to pull back a game, and the more civil officials in the court, the more Guangxi people could be suppressed. (To be continued......)
