Volume 4 Chapter 442 The Founding Ceremony

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, September 19.

Watering River City.

For the Ming court, this is definitely a day that will go down in history.

For many more, however, today they are just witnesses.

Witness the birth of a king, witness the rise of a dynasty.

And there is only one protagonist today, and that is Li Chengqian!

Before dawn, whether it was the people of the Ming Dynasty, the envoys who came from afar, or the merchants who heard the wind, they all gathered under the city early.

The founding ceremony of the Ming Dynasty is here.

In fact, it is not that Li Chengqian has to set up this founding ceremony here.

There is no way, there is not enough to hold such a grand event in the city of Watering River.

is still the same sentence, when the cities that can be counted today are in Datang.

Although Watering River City is not a small city in Tuyuhun, it is still too small to speak.

Moreover, Tuyuhun was originally dominated by nomadic people, and it was true that there was no foundation for building a city.

If you want to build a city, the most important thing is people.

"Unexpectedly, in just one year, this land has changed owners."

Under the city, someone couldn't help but sigh.

Tuyuhun has occupied this land for more than 300 years, and it is not that no one has ever beaten its idea, but no one expected that Tuyuhun would really undergo such a huge change within a year.

This is something that no one expected.

You know, the former Sui also broke through Tuyuhun, but so what? Didn't Murong Fuyun find a chance to return to the country again?

No one dares to underestimate Murong Fuyun, and no one will underestimate Murong Fuyun.

It's just that no one expected that such a hegemon would actually lose to a teenage Li Chengqian.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Someone also shook his head when he heard this, and said, "This Ming King is not simple." ”

When they heard him say this, they all laughed and did not speak.

Nonsense.

If King Ming could simply swallow the entire Tuyuhun in just one year?

Knock knock!

At this moment, a dense drum beat sounded.

"It's about to begin." Someone immediately said when he saw this.

With the sound of drums, the red sun rises in the east.

Of course, this is not some coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement.

This drum sound is also exquisite, and the name is Yingri!

And as the drums fell, Li Chengqian appeared at the head of the city in full costume.

Beside him, Changle looked around with wide eyes.

She was a little excited, a little excited.

And beside her, there were Su Shi and others.

As the princess of the Ming Dynasty, they are naturally indispensable on this day.

Behind them were the Ming officials headed by Pu Xiruo.

"That's King Ming, right?" Under the city, many people are seeing this young man who has shined in the past year for the first time, and one or two are still a little excited.

Should I say it or not, I have the capital to go back and brag about it again.

Li Chengqian looked at the city, and his mood was also a little agitated.

He never thought that in just one year, he would be able to do this.

On the side, Pu Xiruo looked at the time, walked over and whispered, "Your Highness, is it time to invite the missions of various countries?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Let's start." ”

Hearing this, Pu Xiruo nodded to the eldest grandson Chong, who had been guarding the side for a long time.

The eldest grandson Chong gave a look to Duke Yuan, who was the chamberlain of the East Palace.

After coming to the court of the Ming Dynasty, although he was not reused by Li Chengqian for the time being, he was still brought on such an occasion.

After all, there are some things that he really knows, for example, at this time, Gonggong Yuan got the eldest grandson Chong to signal, and immediately pulled his unique male duck voice and shouted: "King Ming's oral message, send envoys from various countries to meet ......"

It's just a simple sentence, but the penetration is particularly strong.

Especially in the early hours of the morning, almost everyone could hear him clearly.

That's what it takes.

And as his words fell, the embassies of various countries in the city also moved.

Duan Lun took a deep breath, their Highness was becoming more and more unpredictable.

"Let's go." As the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he is naturally qualified to walk in the forefront.

Not to mention their relationship with Li Chengqian, the strength of Datang alone must be at the head of all countries.

Behind them were Xue Yantuo, Tubo, Subi, Turkic, Goguryeo, and the Western Regions.

This order is also exquisite.

In a short time, the people went up to the city one by one.

"See His Royal Highness King Ming."

Li Chengqian looked at everyone, waved his hand slightly, and said: "This grand scene can be witnessed by the missions of various countries, which is really my great luck. ”

These missions, he also had contact with privately.

It's just a matter of talking.

When Duan Lun heard this, he smiled and said, "It is also our luck to be able to witness this grand scene. ”

"Indeed." The Tibetan envoy also said with a smile, "There are not many opportunities to witness this grand scene. ”

"...... right"

Soon, all the messengers laughed and laughed.

Li Chengqian didn't say much, strictly speaking, they were all right.

Hearing what they said, Li Chengqian nodded to Puxiruo.

The commander-in-chief of this founding ceremony was him.

Of course, the person who really does things is Changsun Chong.

After the eldest grandson Chong got the instruction, he immediately began to get busy.

"Playing music!" Gonggong Yuan shouted loudly.

Just a moment, the sound of music sounded.

For a while, both the head of the city and the city were quiet, and everyone wanted to see what the founding ceremony of the Ming Dynasty would become.

After a while, the sound of music came to an end, and the eldest grandson shouted loudly: "The founding ceremony of the Ming Dynasty has officially begun!" ”

"Prisoners!"

This is the first item of the founding ceremony.

"King Daning, do you know what to do next?" Hearing this voice, Qi Qi He Li looked at Murong Shun beside him and said with a smile.

Murong Shun took a deep breath and said, "This king understands. ”

Ever since he helped Li Chengqian pacify the people before, he knew that this was inevitable for him.

Sometimes, it's easy to die, but it's the people who are still alive.

Murong Fuyun said that death is death, but these people who are still alive must find a way to live.

And this arduous task naturally fell on him Murong Shun.

Although he was ready to wave his troops north to the side of Qingjun, in the final analysis, he still cared about Tuyuhun.

As the prince of Tuyuhun, this is his life.

"Let's go......" As his words fell, Murong Shun, as the prince of Tuyuhun, led a group of captives from the left side outside the city and slowly walked towards the city.

"That's King Daning, right?" Seeing these tens of thousands of captives, someone asked, "I heard that King Ming broke his army of tens of thousands with just over a thousand soldiers and horses."

It was that battle that established the name of the invincible resentful army. ”

"That's Dayan Mang's Jiebo, of course, this Murong Shun is not much stronger." An insider said, "Compared to his father Murong Fuyun, although Murong Fuyun is stupid, he is a man, and when he learned that he couldn't do anything, he immediately committed suicide, but he didn't lose the face of his generation of kings."

Look at this guy, he still has the face to come out as a prisoner, I'm sorry. ”

Although Murong Fuyun is dead, everyone is still willing to look up at him, compared to Murong Fuyun, everyone really looks down on Murong Shun, who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Murong Shun naturally heard these words, but he didn't say much.

They know a?

Who wouldn't die?

It's just a matter of wiping the neck with a knife.

But he can't die yet, at least not for the time being.

Ignoring these rumors, Murong Shun walked to the city with his head held high as much as possible, raised his head, and looked at the opponent he had never looked at before, and he was also full of thoughts in his heart at the moment.

It's only been a long time.

Not only did he lose, but his father Khan also lost.

Shaking his head, without thinking much about it, Murong Shun took out a booklet from his arms, raised it above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Descend to Murong Shun, lead the Tugu Hun soldiers, and officially present the surrender table to His Royal Highness King Tingming of the Ming Dynasty." ”

After saying this, Murong Shun's whole person was as if he was deflated.

He knew that from then on, there would be no more Tuguhun in the world.

This may be Tuyuhun's last voice in this world.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately said: "Accept the surrender and sacrifice to the sky." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gonggong Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately walked down the city and took over the table from Murong Shun.

And at the head of the city, an incense burner that had been prepared long ago was also lit early.

The eldest grandson Chong took out the edict of worshipping the heavens prepared in advance, and said loudly: "In the land of the plateau, since Shang Tang, the capable have lived in it, and there is a ...... Later, the Murong clan came from the grassland and dominated the plateau for more than 300 years...... This fortune is also over, and the heroes of the plateau rise together.

There is the Han Li family, Chengtian transport, the soldiers rest in the field, the territory of the land is more than 2,000 miles, all the ministers said: "The people have no owner, and they will want to promote the king's name." The minister did not dare to resign, it was used to set up an altar to prepare a ceremony on September 19 this year in the river, and to announce to God that the emperor must have the name of the world called 'Daming'.

To tell the world! (This edict is a reference to Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty...... Spray lightly. )

sprinkled tens of thousands of words of edict, and after the eldest grandson Chong finished reading it, his mouth was dry.

"Burn books, sacrifice to the sky!" Li Chengqian waited for him to finish reading before he said.

When the eldest grandson Chong heard this, he immediately threw the edict of sacrificing heaven and Murong Shun's surrender table into the incense burner and burned it.

At this point, this step is complete.

This also means that the Ming court inherited Tuyuhun and became the legitimate owner of this land.

From a legal point of view, this land officially became the land legally ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

As for Tuyuhun, it also officially withdrew from the stage of history.

"Gifts from all nations!" Eldest Sun Chong shouted again.

This is also a key step in the founding ceremony.

After all, the missions of various countries invited to participate in the founding ceremony of the Ming Dynasty did not have a reason to be empty-handed.

Of course, it's more about returning the favor.

After all, according to the urine nature of the Han dynasty to die to save face and suffer crimes, the more you give, the heavier the return gift will be.

Soon, the missions of various countries, which had been prepared for a long time, stood up one after another.

The first one was Duan Lun, who immediately stood up and said: "Datang presents a three-foot purple coral, five thousand pieces of fine silk, a pearl from the East China Sea, and the Western Regions...... To congratulate the opening of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After he finished speaking, the Tang delegation under the city pulled things out.

Not to mention, Li Er is really not stingy, and he has prepared a few big cars.

"Your country has a heart." Li Chengqian looked at the cars under the city and immediately nodded.

"Xue Yantuo offered 3,000 heads of cattle and sheep, rare treasures...... "After Xue Yantuo's envoy finished speaking, the envoy under the city also pulled a few carts out.

However, the cattle and sheep are not there, this Li Chengqian knows, it is not far from the city.

"Your country has a heart."

"Tubo presented a gilded Buddha statue, a rare treasure......" followed, and the Tibetan envoy also stood up.

Although they have some entanglements with the Ming Dynasty, this money cannot be saved.

One is not a loss, and the other is face.

"Your country has a heart."

"Subi offer 5,000 slaves, and Thangka ......" After the Subi envoy finished speaking, the Tibetan envoy stared at them viciously.

Aren't these so-called slaves their Tibetan people!

"Your country has a heart." Li Chengqian said with a smile, he didn't care who this slave was.

"Goguryeo presents a thousand-year-old ginseng, deer antler ......"

"Dongying presents ......"

"Turtles present ......"

……

After offering gifts for half an hour, Li Chengqian looked at the mountains of carriages under the city, and laughed so hard that he couldn't bloom.

And at this moment, Ashina Ni of the Western Turks stood up and said: "The Western Turks have been at war all year round, and they have just experienced a civil war, so they are really unable to prepare congratulatory gifts. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone turned their eyes to him.

The heart said, you kid is fierce enough, isn't this a slap in the face of Li Chengqian?

Even Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Ashina.

The look in his eyes seemed to say again, if you don't give me a clear statement, you wait for Lao Tzu.

Ashina didn't mind, and said with a smile: "My Western Turks really can't afford to prepare any congratulatory gifts, but today is a good day for the Ming Dynasty, and my Western Turks naturally can't spoil the fun."

If His Royal Highness the King of Ming does not give up, my Western Turks are willing to attach all of them to the King of Ming to congratulate the founding of the Ming Dynasty! ”

I grass!

Hearing Ashina Ni say this, many people scolded secretly.

You're really fucking crazy.

At most, everyone will prepare a generous gift, and just mix some return gifts.

Do you really want Li Chengqian to return the Ming Dynasty to you?

Even Li Chengqian was stunned, he knew that all countries had congratulatory gifts, but he didn't expect the congratulatory gifts of the Western Turks to be so crazy!

"Are you sure?" Li Chengqian looked at Ashina and said with a smile, "This king is in a good mood today, but don't think that this king won't kill if he's in a good mood." ”

Hearing this, Ashina Ni suppressed his smile, took out a booklet from his arms, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the foreign minister has no intention of teasing, this is the national letter to which the Western Turks are attached, and it was prepared before I came." ”

So saying, he handed over the letter.

Li Chengqian nodded, and Eldest Sun Chong walked over and took it over.

When he saw the letter of state prepared by the Western Turks early in the morning, Li Chengqian believed it.

There is nothing to doubt about this.

The situation in the Western Turks is different.

In the previous battle, although Ashina Ni won the battle, for the Western Turks, he had actually lost.

Without him, in that battle, the greatest loss was still the Western Turks.

Moreover, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, and at present, the best expansion direction of the Ming Dynasty is the Western Regions and the Western Turks, so it is really reasonable for the Western Turks to be annexed.

None of them knew if the original course of history.

After Ashina Ni Yi succeeded to the throne of the Western Turks, he actually immediately attached himself to the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, he was also the first Western Turk Khan to be canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and it was from him that he marked the establishment of the Western Turkic pro-Tang forces.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is really normal for him to do this......

"Since the Western Turks have this heart, this king has agreed!" Li Chengqian immediately laughed.

At the founding ceremony, someone from all over the country came to surrender, and he had no reason to refuse.

Of course, if it weren't for this environment, he would not have been willing to accept the annexation of the Western Turks.

For him, what he needs most now is not how much territory he needs, but stable development.

However, in this environment, the envoys of various countries are watching, and it is impossible for him to refuse.

If you really want to refuse, today's founding ceremony will become a joke in the eyes of others.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ashina immediately laughed.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty has not moved, and then expand the territory." Everyone immediately laughed.

They didn't know what to say, Li Chengqian didn't do anything, so he opened up the territory again, and it was more or less evil to say this.

Li Chengqian smiled, but didn't say much.

If he could, he would really not accept the Western Turks now.

After all, the current Western Turks are a mess.

Of course, since he received it, he didn't have much to say, it was just a little more effort.

At the end of the day, that's not a bad thing.

After the gift session, there was only a military parade left, Li Chengqian just nodded, and Changsun Chong immediately entered the next process.

The so-called military parade is to demonstrate the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it is Xuanwei.

Let the world see the strength of the Ming army.

However, the model of military parades is still very new in this era.

As Qi He Li's expeditionary army came over with their heads held high, everyone was also stunned for a moment.

Where have they ever seen such a founding ceremony?

Then, under the leadership of Murong Xiaojun's four sons, the pouring river army also walked up slowly.

However, this did not make people feel shocked, even if the resentful army entered, except for the murderous spirit of this group of guys, everyone did not feel much shocked.

What really caught everyone's eyes was the Young Army!

There is no way, the Young Army is a new army trained by Li Chengqian with the knowledge that later generations have learned.

Whether it is sitting, lying or walking, it is quite the style of the army of later generations!

Of course, it still can't be compared with the armies of later generations.

After all, it didn't take much time for the entire Cadet Army to train.

But when they came out almost in unison, it was still quite shocking.

"I'm grass, this is too exaggerated!" Someone exclaimed, "These thousands of people are coming in like one person, you see, even the swing of their arms is the same." ”

The moment the young army entered the field, everyone froze.

Whether it is the envoys of various countries at the head of the city, or the people watching the excitement under the city.

One or two were shocked.

"This is the embryo of another strong army!" Someone sighed and said.

Although they can't train a strong army, they still have the strength to see it.

Saying this, looking at Li Chengqian, everyone's eyes were also very curious.

How did he train such a strong army?

PS: I had a fever yesterday, I really didn't resist, and I still have a little fever today, but I think about the last day of the double monthly pass, work hard and persevere.

Well, on the last day of the double monthly pass, come and get a few tickets to reduce the fever!
