Chapter 111: Enthronement

Handan, a golden light bloomed from the east, and then the sun jumped up from the horizon.

"The bells and drums are happy, and the new monarch will succeed to the throne." With the singing of Zuo Shi touching the dragon, the entire Handan City woke up.

"Winter!"

"Winter!"

"Winter!"

The heavy chimes and drums pierced the sky, resounding throughout Handan City and reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone came out of the door and looked in the direction of the palace.

Everyone has experienced the turmoil a few days ago, and those who are well-informed already know the news that Zhao Wangdan died and Zhao Kuo became the monarch of Zhao Guo.

Those who are not well-informed also know that the current Handan has changed its owner, and the accession to the throne is just a declaration to the world.

Zhao Kuo looked at himself wearing twelve crowns in the bronze mirror and wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

When he first came to this world, he just wanted to try to survive from Bai Qi, even if he handed over the military power in the future, he would be satisfied with being a gentleman.

I didn't expect to become the monarch of Zhao now.

It's really a trick!

Zhao Kuo shook his head slightly, and the beads on the crown collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.

"Can I not wear it?" Zhao Kuo asked, pointing to the crown on his head.

Now, as long as he moved, the beads in front of him would shake, and there would be a collision sound, which not only dazzled him, but also made his head swell.

The sound of the collision of the beads itself is not unpleasant, but it can't help but keep ringing in his ears, Zhao Kuo is about to vomit, he really can't understand why the ancient emperors liked to wear this thing.

"The king bears with it first, as long as it passes today, you don't have to wear it in the future." Gongsun Long said.

According to the Zhou rites, only Zhou Tianzi could wear the twelve crowns and the crown of the Son of Heaven, but during the Warring States Period, the etiquette collapsed, especially after the Seven Kingdoms, the so-called Zhou Tianzi even lost his status as the nominal co-lord of the world.

The twelve crowns and the crown of the Son of Heaven also flew into the Seven Kingdoms.

"Ugh." Zhao Kuo sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go." Gongsun Long reminded.

"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded, turned around and walked towards the main hall.

In addition to the main hall, there are many side halls in the royal palace of Zhao State, but these side halls do not have names.

"Welcome the new monarch to the throne, and the ministers will swear to serve the death." When the ministers saw Zhao Kuo enter the main hall, they hurriedly saluted.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The bell and drum music then became more magnificent.

"Welcome to the new monarch to succeed to the throne, the new monarch will live forever!"

"Welcome to the new monarch to succeed to the throne, the new monarch will live forever!"

Outside Handan City, all the soldiers stood tall, held their weapons high, looked feverishly in the direction of the palace, and shouted frantically.

The sound pierced through the golden cracked stones, and even overshadowed the sound of bells and drums, resounding throughout Handan City.

Zhao Kuo looked at the ministers below, and unconsciously felt a pressure, from today on, he is the monarch of Zhao State.

Every decision made, every order given, will affect the entire country, as well as all the subjects of the state.

This pressure is heavier than that of the coach of the first army, and he is also more responsible.

Zhao Kuo exhaled slowly, stretched out his hand and said, "All the ministers are flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd fired a salvo.

Rumble!

At this moment, the jade seal on the eucalyptus platform suddenly bloomed with an extreme golden-red light, passing through the main hall and soaring into the sky!

……

In Luoyang, Wang Yan of Zhou (King Hao of Zhou) stood at the head of the city looking to the north, where the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei defeated the Qin state.

Over the years, with the continuous rise of the Qin State, Zhou Wangyan's situation has become more and more difficult, and the defeat of the Qin State by the Three Jin Dynasty has won him a little respite.

It stands to reason that Zhou Wangyan should be grateful to Sanjin.

However, he couldn't be grateful in his heart, because he understood that there was no difference between the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State, and he would not take him, the king of Zhou, in his eyes.

At the beginning, Han Wei's army passed by Luoyang, and he never stopped to greet him, the co-ruler of the world.

"Where will my Great Zhou go......" Zhou Wang Yan asked loudly at the sky.

At this moment, a pillar of nine-colored light suddenly rose from Luoyang City, the hall where the nine tripods were stored was overflowing, Jizhou Ding slowly rose into the air, and a golden-red light shot out from the tripod and rushed towards the northeast.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the sky above Handan City, connected with the light of the jade seal.

In an instant, the sky was turbulent, and a golden cloud crossed the entire sky from southwest to northeast, like a giant dragon hovering in the sky.

Everyone raised their faces and looked at the golden dragon in the sky, their eyes full of shock.

State of Wei, somewhere in the valley.

Rumble!

All the tortoise shell copper coins on the stone platform were shattered!

Even the star map on the Taoist priest was destroyed!

……

Zhao Kuo's whole body was bathed in golden-red light, which gradually spread to the surrounding ministers, and finally including the three thousand guards in the palace, all of whom were shrouded in golden-red light.

"Boom!"

A terrifying momentum erupted from the guards, and golden-red war clouds continued to roll in the sky, and the terrifying killing intent spread in all directions.

At this moment, the Pro-Guard Army became the Army Spirit Legion.

Zhao Kuo's spirit shook and swept around, and he clearly felt that he had awakened the second talent, God's Gift: Increasing the probability of the birth of a genius under his rule.

Everyone looked at the sky in a daze, but it was the dragon who reacted first, and hurriedly leaned over and said:

"Congratulations to the king, auspicious from heaven!"

The ministers also came back to their senses and saluted one after another: "Congratulations to the king, auspicious rain from heaven." ”

"Excuse me." Zhao Kuo said.

The enthronement ceremony is not over, and then it is to go to the temple, that is, to worship the ancestors.

If the ceremony just now is to announce to the living, I, Zhao Kuo, have become the monarch of Zhao Guo.

Then ancestor worship is to tell the dead about it.

Zhao Kuo, accompanied by Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng, came to the Zong Temple.

As for the other ministers, they didn't come, because ancestor worship was a family affair of the Zhao family.

Under normal circumstances, ancestor worship is divided into two steps, the first step is for the new monarch to tell the ancestor that the first king has passed away. The second step is to tell the ancestor that the new monarch has ascended the throne.

The spirit tablets of the former kings are then sent to the Jongmyo Temple, and in general, the great events that the former kings have done during their reign are also read.

However, Zhao Kuo's throne was not passed on normally, so the first step was omitted, but Zhao Kuo still sent Zhao Dan's spirit card into the temple.

Zhao Kuo's idea is very simple, Zhao Dan himself is the monarch of Zhao State, even if the spirit card does not enter the temple, it is still it, rather than covering his ears and stealing the bell and leaving the world to criticize, it is better to generously send his spirit card into the temple.

"Can you put my father's spirit tablet into the temple as well?" Zhao Kuo asked, he saw a lot of spirit tablets that were not Zhao Guojun in the temple.

"The king wants to ......," Zhao Bao asked cautiously.

"It's just sent to the temple, not to be crowned king." Zhao Kuo said.

In his opinion, his father just wanted to protect the Zhao family, and probably didn't want to be the king of Zhao.

"This is naturally possible, the fifth brother is a member of my Zhao clan, because of some special reasons, the spirit card did not enter the temple, and now it is reasonable to send it to the temple."

Zhao Bao breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought that Zhao Kuo planned to crown his father as the king, in that case, it would be difficult to do, and Zhao Guo had not been posthumously crowned king after his death in history.

Coming out of the temple, Zhao Kuo and his party returned to the palace and began the first great court meeting after ascending the throne.
