When the news of Zhao Zhen's death came out, the whole country was shaken, and the city of Bianjing City was full of filial piety, and white flags of mourning were hung at the door of every house.

The benevolence of the first emperor is known to the whole world, and the people spontaneously boycotted the market and cried for several days.

Although beggars and children also burned paper money and cried before Ouchi, the smoke flew and dispersed, so that the sky over Bianjing City was dark.

One hundred and fifty years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not the first time that an emperor has died, but the previous several times combined, it is far less than the scene when Zhao Zhen died this time, and the mountains and rivers were in pain and all the people mourned together.

Wherever Zhao Zhen's obituary was sent, the cry shook the sky, and the paper smoke covered the air, and even the Khitan emperor in the north couldn't help but cry for it after hearing it.

The Khitan Emperor also ordered people to bury the clothes given to him by Zhao Zhen in the past as a mound of clothes, pay tribute every year, and personally compose poems to mourn.

In ancient times, mourning lasted for three years, but Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty created the system of "changing days for months", changing the number of months of mourning to the number of days, that is, replacing three years of mourning with 36 days of mourning.

The Great Zhou Tianjia funeral system is also the system of "changing the moon with the sun", and the 24th day after the collapse of the emperor is the Daxiang (the second anniversary sacrifice day).

After three days after the auspicious day, the officials and the people can remove their mourning clothes and resume normal life, and the imperial court yamen can also operate in an orderly manner, only the new monarch still needs to continue to mourn in the inner court.

After the expulsion, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the new monarch.

Although the ministers had begun to address the new monarch as "official" after the edict was read, it was still necessary to hold a formal and solemn enthronement ceremony to reassure the people of the world.

Ten years of Great Zhou Tianyou, May 12.

At the time of the day, Zhao Zongquan sent three important ministers to worship heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji.

Zhao Zongquan himself came to wear filial piety clothes, personally came to the palace of the first emperor Zi to proclaim, perform five bows and three bows, complete the order, and then take off the filial piety clothes and put on the most solemn crown of the Son of Heaven.

When it is auspicious, the bells and drums in the imperial city are ringing in unison, and the main gate of Xuande Gate and the left and right doors are all opened.

The civil and military officials had their own court uniforms, and they entered from the Xuande Gate and stood in line on the square in front of the Zichen Palace.

Zhao Zongquan, who was dressed in a crown robe, walked out of the middle gate and drove to the Zichen Hall to ascend to the throne.

After Zhao Zongquan sat down on the throne, the imperial city priest sounded the whip nine times, and thousands of officials knelt down in unison to perform five bows and three bows.

After the ceremony, Han Zhang, a scholar of Longtuge University, presented the edict of enthronement that had already been drawn up, and Zhao Zongquan took a symbolic look at it, then covered it with the treasure of Chengtian's mandate, and handed the edict to Shen Weizhong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Weizhong respectfully held the edict to the Xuande Gate, and read the edict on the tower of the Xuande Gate.

The main contents of the edict are: amnesty for the world, changing the next year to the first year of public security, appointing the five envoys of the mountains and tombs for the first emperor's funeral, etc., these are the due meaning of the edict of the enthronement in the past, and there is no need to repeat it.

In addition, the edict also canonized the empress Cao as the empress dowager, the crown princess Shen as the empress, and Zhao Ceying, the king of Gaoyang County, as the king of Huan.

The prince's biological father, so Zhao Huan, the king of Yanping County, was also posthumously named King Shu.

Longtuge University Scholar Han Zhangjia Taishi; Longtuge University scholar Wen Yan Changjia Shaobao; The former division of the palace is Yu Hou Shen from Xingfeng Weibei Hou, and the deputy commander of the former division of the palace is the commander.

The rest of the civil and military officials are all promoted to the first level of loose officials in accordance with the principle of great etiquette and general rank.

Wei Chen also benefited from it, he had just been crowned Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and he was promoted to the first rank of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, who was the third grade.

After the enthronement edict is read, Baiguanshan shouts long live, and the short and solemn enthronement ceremony is over, after which the enthronement edict will be sent to the Ministry of Rites, which will issue it all over the world.

After the ceremony, the hundred officials dispersed, but Wei Chen was still not idle, he was appointed as the envoy of the five envoys of the mountain tomb, and he had to prepare for the funeral of the first emperor non-stop.

Because of the ancestral system, the Great Zhou Emperor did not build the mausoleum during his lifetime, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum could only be started after the emperor's death.

And "The Book of Rites? The "Monarchy" also says, "The Son of Heaven will be buried in July", that is, seven months after the death of the Son of Heaven, he needs to be buried in the ground.

Therefore, the time to build the mausoleum for the Great Zhou Emperor was only seven months, and the construction period was very tight.

On the second day after the enthronement ceremony, Wei Chen, together with the officials of Qin Tianjian, went to Gongyi, Henan Province, to conduct a cemetery survey near the mausoleums of the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wei Chen led people to go around in the ravines for more than half a month, making the whole person disgraced, and then he chose a good place as the resting place of the first emperor.

Wei Chen took the drawn map, and hurried back to Bianjing non-stop, and surrendered to the new monarch.

After completing the exploration of the tomb of the first emperor, Wei Chen participated in the discussion of the temple number and the name of the first emperor as a courtier of more than three grades (here refers to the official rank).

The first one was set by the name, a total of 16 characters, the body of the heavenly law, the ultimate merit and virtue, the divine literature and holy martial arts, the wise and the wise and the filial piety.

The first emperor Zhao Zhen's nickname is, the body of the heavens, the law, the Dao, the extreme merit, the whole virtue, the divine text, the saint, the martial arts, the Zhe, the Ming Xiao Emperor.

In ancient times, the merits of emperors were evaluated, and only their nicknames were evaluated, but since the Tang Dynasty, the system of nicknames has gradually deteriorated.

From the two or three words with the meaning of praise and disparagement, it has become more than ten words full of words, which is not only stinky and long, but also has lost its original role.

The only thing that can really give the emperor a lifetime of credit and a coffin is the temple number.

Therefore, before the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was mostly called by the name, and after the Tang Dynasty, it was basically called by the temple name, for example, no one would call Li Shimin the great sage Guangxiao Emperor of Wenwu, but called his temple name, Tang Taizong.

The temple number is just a word, you can praise and depreciate the emperor's life, so the word selection is extremely cautious.

In order to agree on the number of the temple of the first emperor, the ministers argued endlessly, and even fought with words, which has appeared more than once since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, when it came to Zhao Zhen, there was a rare difference between the government and the opposition, from the new monarch and the queen mother, to the Zai Fu and the ministers, all agreed that the temple number of the first emperor should be set as Renzong, and the meaning of the benevolent saint should be taken.

When it was time to write a proposal for the first emperor, the ministers recommended Wei Chen to write, not only because Wei Chen was known as the current Wenzong and the article Huaguo, but also because Wei Chen had been deeply favored by the first emperor since he was raised.

Therefore, it can be said that it is very appropriate for Wei Chen to write this proposal.

Not long after, a scribe brought a pen and paper and presented it in front of Wei Chen.

Wei Chen sat in front of the table, grinding the ink himself while typing the draft, however, he had no thoughts this time.

In Wei Chen's mind, the scene of the first emperor appointing himself as the champion in the palace kept coming up.

Thinking of the great kindness and kindness of the first emperor to him during his lifetime, Wei Chen choked up, and he couldn't write for a long time, and the surrounding ministers couldn't help but touch the scene and quietly wiped away their tears.

After a while, under the urging of the attendants sent by Zhao Zongquan, Wei Chen regained his mood and raised his pen.

"The construction of the Yuezi temple is still in place, but the king of the ancient sages is not extremely respectful of the Ming Shengde, or as for the generations.

The virtue of the husband and the saint is not only not deserved, or is it that at that time, the great learning of Confucianism was a little more than a quest, and the enlightenment of heaven was expected to be worthy of the temple?

Shiyun: The fate of Weitian is endless. That's what it means. Only the merit is based on entrepreneurship as the ancestor, and virtue is the ancestor of the sect, and the righteousness of all respects it.

Emperor Daxing respected the Emperor of Tianxi, said the body, the heavenly law, the Dao, the extreme merit, the whole virtue, the divine text, the saint Wu Ruizhe, the Ming Xiao Emperor, and the temple said Renzong. ”
