Chapter 62: The Wind Lifts the Clouds (24)
The convoy slowly advanced, out of Shangguanli, through Qili, through the arsenal, to the royal road, on the royal road, straight to Weiyang Palace. I've been to these places on a regular basis, but this time it's different. The illness had passed through the shaking jade curtain, and saw the chariots and horses following along the way, and everyone bowed their heads, still unable to believe that they were going to ascend to the supreme throne. It stands to reason that there are still some uncles alive, and it shouldn't be his turn, does Huo Guang have any selfish intentions? I have long known that he has the power of the world, and he can even depose the emperor on his own, and it will still be a trouble to get along with him in the future. However, no matter what, to be able to ascend to the sky in one step, this feeling is still wonderful, eighteen years of hardship, embarrassment and crampedness, from then on a write-off, the days to come will be as brilliant as colorful auspicious clouds, prosperous as flowers brocade.
The illness has been taken to the Zongzheng Mansion to bathe and change clothes, and the female officials in the palace and the Huangmen are waiting on the side, and the illness has felt very embarrassed, but he has to follow the etiquette. Changed into the royal clothes given by the Queen Mother, and the illness had already performed the fasting ceremony under the guidance of Liu De, and then continued to march towards the palace. Looking at Wei Wei in the palace, touching the extremely gorgeous clothes on his body, he couldn't help but sigh, there are many folk men who are not allowed to marry, but there are so many young women in this palace, and there are many people who are hungry and frozen, but the clothes in the palace are so gorgeous.
After some tossing, the illness has finally come to Weiyang Palace, the Xuanshu Hall is high, and you need to step on countless steps to enter. The illness has gone up the stairs, but did not feel tired at all, raised his eyes to see, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have been waiting, the illness has been nervous, dare not look sideways, only to hold his breath and go forward, only to see a jade curtain on the left side of the middle of the hall, the illness has thought to himself, the queen mother must be the queen mother, do not dare to raise his head recklessly, kneeling down to listen to the Yellow Gate after reading the edict of canonization as the Marquis of Yangwu.
On the way here, Liu De had already explained all the agenda and illness in detail, and he knew that this Marquis of Yangwu was just giving him a clan marquis first, so that he would not be a commoner and become the son of heaven.
After the Yellow Gate finished reading, the illness had been thanked loudly, and the hall was silent, all wanted to listen to the voice of the new emperor, only to hear that the illness had been like a bell, the demeanor was elegant, and he had the bearing of the son of heaven, and he did not feel secretly respectful.
At this time, Yang Chang slowly came out of the ranks, kneeling and playing the Empress Dowager's ministers unanimously elected the emperor's great-grandson as the Son of Heaven, and asked the Empress Dowager to cut it.
The illness had already been thought of, and before leaving, Guanghan said to him: "When Emperor Xiaowen became the lord of the people, he was humble and conceited several times, and Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other ministers repeatedly insisted that he put all the people in the world first, and finally reluctantly accepted the seal of the Son of Heaven, so that he would show benevolence, filial piety and humility, and would not fall into the mouth." As soon as Yang Changgang finished speaking, he played: "When Sun was young, he was wandering among the strangers, ignorant and ignorant, ignorant and ignorant of the world, and a little longer, making a living back in the streets and alleys, not knowing the scriptures, not encountering major events, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the warp and weft of the world, and I hope to choose another talent, Sun is grateful to Dade!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in approval, secretly feeling that the illness had been left behind by Emperor Wen. In this way, after coming and going, the illness has been pushed three times, only to hear the Queen Mother say: "Don't push again, quickly accept the destiny of heaven." ”
The illness has been suddenly startled, the Queen Mother's voice is so tactful, it is clearly a little sister's voice, look up, it turns out that the Queen Mother is really a delicate and soft, complaining like a sick girl, I saw that she is like autumn frost, her eyes are like tears, solemn as ice and snow, the headdress is complicated, the clothes are luxurious, but there are many incommensurates with the face.
Only then did she suddenly realize that the Empress Dowager Shangguan Xiaomei entered the palace at the age of six to become Jieyu, and was ordained as the queen at the age of ten, and now she is fifteen years old.
The illness no longer excused himself, and said: "Sun Jin obeys Yi's order!" ”
Although the queen mother is behind the jade curtain, she has seen through the shaking beads that the face of the disease has been slowly raised, in an instant, her heart beat suddenly, that handsome and warm face has a natural imperial atmosphere, especially his eyes are like the sun above his head, shining into his frozen heart lake, but unfortunately, such a jade man who is bigger than himself has become his grandson, if he does not wear this flower robe, maybe he will walk forward with a big grin and ask him if he can get married, but the pity is not satisfactory!
As soon as the illness had fallen, someone presented the emperor's jade seal and ribbon, and the illness had been kneeling down one by one, and a large group of people put on the newly made Son of Heaven Xuan Clothes, put on the twelve crowns of the Son of Heaven, and handed over the list of court officials, and the illness was really like the Son of Heaven.
I only heard the long voice of the middle yellow gate shouting: "The new emperor is on the throne, and hundreds of officials worship." The sick man slowly walked forward and sat down in the right seat. Under the leadership of Huo Guang, Yang Yi, Zhang Anshi, Liu De, etc., the civil and military officials bowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted in unison: "The ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an!" ”
Sick has looked at all the courtiers, although they grovel and shout long live, but I don't know how many of them look down on him, the commoner son of heaven, although he is stepping on the clouds, supreme, but he feels empty and powerless under his feet. However, the world is the world of the Liu family, since he is in the position, he has to make an appearance, at least he can't let people see the joke, so he responded according to what Liu De told him: "Zhong Aiqing, please get up." ”
Everyone stood up in a hurry, and said too often: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the matter of sacrificing to the high temple has been prepared, please move to the high temple and inform the Yizong Temple." ”
The illness already knew that before the sacrifice to Gaozong Temple, he, the emperor, did not count, and did not give orders, but asked the Empress Dowager Yizhi. The Empress Dowager nodded yes, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces went to the temple of Emperor Gaozu in Changle Palace under the leadership of the Empress Dowager and the sick man.
According to the ceremony, the head of the hundred officials needs to ride, Yang Chang refused, Huo Guang did not give in, and sat with the illness to board the carriage. As soon as he saw Huo Guang, dressed neatly, with a bronze face, cold and serious, and a gloomy light, he became timid, thinking of the power of the Huo family, and he didn't feel a little shorter, plus the weather was hot, his back was soaked, and the sweat on his face was also poured into his neck. But seeing that Huo Guang didn't move at all, he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.
Huo Guang also saw the embarrassment of being sick, and thought to himself, the new emperor just came, and he made him feel embarrassed, which is not a good thing, even if he supported him, he had to pay attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister in his face, so he said: "Your Majesty, the weather is hot, do you want to stop and take a breath." ”
Huo Guang's face was expressionless when he spoke, and he thought that Huo Guang was deliberately testing him, so he smiled and said, "No need." ”
In fact, Huo Guang's face was already a bit fierce, and for so many years, he always said the same thing, and even wiped out his smile.
Huo Guang stopped talking, and felt even more uncomfortable when he was sick, like a thorn in his back, but he couldn't scratch it, so he held on to the Zongmiao, and when he got out of the car, his legs were numb, and he almost stumbled.
Arrived at the high temple, the illness has been cleaned up, prostrate in the middle of the main hall, the empress dowager holds the Gui coin and stands in front, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and princes and nobles are listed after the illness according to their grades. I read the sacrificial text too often, and the bells in the hall were bursting, and I didn't hear what I read clearly when I was sick, but I only remembered that it took a long time to finish reading. After the illness was already under the guidance of Taichang, the empress dowager led everyone to kneel and bow three times, which was regarded as reporting the matter to the ancestors.
