Chapter 147: Da Chu, Li!
Datang plane!
Kyoto!
"Your Highness... No, Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony is ready, just waiting for you! Chen An said respectfully, his face filled with irrepressible excitement.
"Hmm!"
Under the costumes of several maids, Li Kuan, who was wearing the imperial robe specially customized from the top costumes in the fog capital, nodded with satisfaction.
Chen An used to be the chief steward of Li Kuan's mansion, a father-in-law who came out of the palace.
Originally, because he had not expressed his loyalty to Li Kuan, Li Kuan had always wanted to replace him and get rid of him.
However, because he was sent by his cheap grandfather Li Yuan, and Li Yuan was still on the throne at the time, Li Kuan couldn't directly replace him or get him away!
Later, Li Yuan abdicated, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, because he was directly replaced or taken away, it always made people feel a little bit of a person taking tea and cooling, so Li Kuan did not move him for the time being.
Until a few months ago, it had been several years since Li Yuan abdicated, and Li Kuan, who felt that the time was about the same, felt that even if he was replaced or taken away at this time, it would not matter, Li Kuan had the idea of replacing or taking him away.
But at this time, the matter of statehood was decided.
The founding of the country is to ask Li Kuan to ascend the throne and become emperor.
And ascending the throne generally requires a series of ceremonies, without the ceremony, it seems somewhat informal, informal, not solemn, for Li Kuan, who is about to ascend the throne, for the people under his command, for the national capital he is about to establish, this is a black history worthy of criticism.
Therefore, he felt that there must be a grand ceremony to ascend the throne and become emperor.
But here's the problem!
There are no people under Li Kuan who know how to ritual!
After all, they are all converted from displaced people, where can we know this?
So, in order to make his ascension to the throne more formal, Li Kuan thought about simply using waste, and Chen An, who was already fifty on the face and was an old man in this era, was sent away from the Chu Mansion in the name of going home to care for the elderly!
Secretly, they quietly got him here and asked him to do these rituals.
Well, after all, he is a eunuch from the palace, and in Li Kuan's opinion, even if he is not familiar with these, he knows more or less.
Who knows, crooked hits!
After experiencing the panic of being inexplicably brought here, knowing his current situation and what he was going to do, Chen An, who was not loyal at all, brightened his eyes, not only directly expressed his loyalty to Li Kuan, but also arranged an enthronement ceremony for Li Kuan with great interest.
It was at this time that Li Kuan understood Chen An's intentions.
Chen An, who has lived in the palace almost all his life, is not used to the outside world and the life of the palace--- even if the life in the outside world is actually better than the palace, he is not used to it, and he doesn't like it very much!
It's like an old man who stays in the countryside all his life, and if you suddenly bring him to the city, he won't get used to it, and he won't like it.
Chen An didn't want to express his loyalty to Li Kuan before, but because he wanted to return to the environment he was familiar with in the past, that is, in the palace, he never expressed his position.
And now, after Li Kuan brought him here, although he did not let him return to the place he was familiar with before, it also gave him a chance to create an environment that he was relatively familiar with, and he naturally expressed his loyalty to Li Kuan.
After that, it's easy!
After Li Kuan appointed Chen An as the internal chamberlain of the Inner Chamberlain Province (that is, the chief who manages the affairs of the palace, similar to the chief of the Inner Palace) and let him lead the palace, soon a complete prototype of the palace system that was exactly the same as the Tang Dynasty was built by Chen An.
Eunuchs, maids, internal servants, palaces, palaces, officials, servants, bureaus, etc., are all arranged.
Although they are all just rudimentary and there are not many people, in general, they are considered appropriate.
And Li Kuan's enthronement ceremony was also carried out in an orderly manner under his arrangement.
"Let's go!"
Li Kuan, who had put on the imperial robe, said with a straight face.
Seeing this, Chen An hurriedly led the way in front, while a group of eunuchs and maids followed Li Kuan's back door, and a group of people walked towards the palace hall.
Soon!
Under the guidance of Chen An, the group came to the palace hall.
At this time, in the palace hall, there were already many people waiting.
Xue Rengui, Chen Ke, etc., all of them wearing armor are high-level officials of the Xiandeng Army, and a large number of them are wearing official uniforms, all of which are officials appointed by Li Kuan in the past few years.
"Enthronement ceremony begins !!"
After that, with Chen An's order, the ceremony officially began!
A series of rituals such as worshipping the heavens, praying, and saluting are carried out without hurry.
The process is very long and complicated, to be honest, Li Kuan doesn't like such complicated ceremonies, but the ceremony is not only for himself, but also for the people in the country, so that they can see the strength of the country and the prosperity of the country through the ceremony.
Based on this, although he was quite impatient in his heart, Li Kuan did not show any impatience on the surface, so he persevered, and proceeded step by step according to the content of the ceremony.
In this way, as time passed, from morning to afternoon, the ceremony also came to the last moment.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
Under the performance of the musicians, Chen An supported Li Kuan and slowly stepped onto the throne.
And the moment Li Kuan sat on the throne, the musicians suddenly stopped.
Meanwhile!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
...
Li Kuan waved down many soldiers, and the officials saluted in unison, with excitement on their faces, and the mountain exhaled.
After a while, after everyone's voices stopped, Li Kuan waved his hand and said seriously, "No courtesy!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the officials said in unison, and after saluting again, they straightened their waists.
At this moment, Li Kuan glanced at the ministers in the main hall and said in a deep voice, "In the past few years, we have established the Xiandeng Army from scratch and recruited countless soldiers..."
Li Kuan spoke unhurriedly and told everything he had experienced in the past few years, the soldiers under his command, and the people.
And in the end, Li Kuan's expression was solemn, his voice changed, and he said, "We have crossed the sea, crossed the mountains, experienced endless nights, overcome storms, overcome many hardships, defeated all enemies, and finally have a stable place!" ”
"And now, in order for us to develop better in the future, for everyone to live a better and happier life, I have decided to build a kingdom of our own, so, now, I declare, Da Chu... Stand!!! ”
As he spoke, his loud voice echoed through the hall.
"Da Chu !!"
"Da Chu !!"
"Da Chu !!"
...
And after the three words "Da Chuli" appeared, the eyes of all the officials present burst out with unparalleled fanaticism.
There are even many people in this frenzied atmosphere, their eyes are red, and tears of excitement are shed.
Most of them were converted from homeless people, and they knew very well how difficult it was to come all the way here and find such a place to live.
At the same time, they also know very well that without Li Kuan, they would not be where they are today.
