Chapter 573: Sacrifice to the Emperor's Mausoleum, Enthronement Ceremony
Mausoleum of the Great Yan Emperor.
There are many emperors buried here, and there are many soldiers guarding the entrance of the imperial tomb, and they are known as the guardians of the imperial tomb.
The soldiers here need to take care of many things in the imperial tomb, such as where there is a problem in the imperial tomb, or there is an invasion by outsiders, or any accident, they must be found in time......
Otherwise, you will lose your head, and it is precisely because of the existence of these people that the imperial tomb can be safely protected.
In fact, to be honest, when Zhao Hengyi came to the capital this time and surrounded the entire city, they, the guardians of the imperial tomb, were very frightened in their hearts.
They were very afraid, they were afraid that Zhao Hengyi would capture the imperial city, in fact, one of the main reasons was that if the city was captured.
That basically means that the dynasty has changed, and basically means that the imperial tomb has become the most dangerous place, and there is no need for them to continue to stay here, they just need to leave quickly.
This is the case in any dynasty, when the dynasty changes, there is basically no one to take care of the imperial tomb, and the soldiers will run away directly, they have no obligation, no right to guard the tomb for others here.
The imperial court is gone, the royal bloodline is extinct, and the current emperor is no longer the descendant of these people lying in the imperial mausoleum.
Then the mausoleum keepers will naturally disappear, which is why many imperial tombs will no longer be taken care of after the change of dynasties, and they will become extremely weedy.
Of course, basically the imperial tomb is also more important.
Even if the next ruler appears, he will not do anything to the imperial tomb.
On this day, Zhao Hengyi put on the emperor's exclusive dragon robe, and took the civil and military officials and Zhao Zheng, that is, the previous emperor, his eldest brother.
There is also the Queen Mother, who came to the imperial tomb together to prepare to worship the ancestors.
Naturally, ancestor worship is undertaken by Honglu Temple and Zongrenfu.
Accompanied by melodious music, their ancestor worship ceremony also slowly began.
During this period, many civil and military ministers also knelt on the ground, not daring to say much, but they were still able to speak in a whisper, anyway, the emperor couldn't hear about this matter, and they didn't need to think too much.
As for Zhao Zheng, he brought his princess, that is, the original queen, and also worshiped his ancestors.
After so many years of leaving, it seems that he hasn't visited the tomb of his father for a long time.
To be honest, according to etiquette, the prince needs to be established, and this is a rule that many people can't break.
However, there will be surprises, if the emperor thinks that a certain prince can become the emperor, or thinks that he is very smart, then the matter becomes much easier.
Anyway, even if there is a constraint of etiquette, the emperor can decide which person to decide, and taking a prince can become the future emperor.
Zhao Zheng was originally a son-in-law before, but unfortunately, the emperor didn't have much thought about his mother or him, so he directly changed the holy decree.
At that time, the crown prince had not yet been decided.
This is actually quite normal.
After seeing this decision, it will cause dissatisfaction among some ministers in the DPRK and China.
Zhao Zheng's mother was relatively close to the cabinet chief assistant before, so naturally there was no big problem.
The two of them colluded together, and the emperor also needed to think about it.
At the same time, Wei Guogong, who was kneeling on the ground, Wang Biao never thought that Zhao Hengyi, who had quarreled with him.
One day he can become an emperor, and one day he can become his top boss, then this matter is a little embarrassing.
Once, the two of them fought inseparably, and they almost sent people to prison and couldn't get out.
This kind of thing, it's scary to think about it, he is thinking that if he really sends Zhao Hengyi, that is, the current emperor, to prison, will it be his own end?
However, the relationship between the two people was eased in the end, after all, it was not Zhao Hengyi who killed the murderer, but someone else.
As for Zheng Guogong, he is the one who is most afraid.
He never imagined that he would encounter such a thing one day.
Who could have known that Zhao Hengyi could become the emperor, and he was the second prince who really disappeared.
At the beginning, when he framed Zhao Hengyi, he didn't think about it so much.
He knew that after the emperor officially ascended the throne, he would have to clean himself up, and he was still a little scared in his heart.
After half an hour, the ancestor worship ceremony officially ended.
At the same time, the people of Honglu Temple also took out the abdication edict of the previous emperor Zhao Zheng, and he took the initiative to give the emperor to Zhao Hengyi.
After reciting this holy decree, the Empress Dowager picked up the holy decree that made the crown prince back then.
"Ministers, this is the holy decree written by my son, that is, Wu Zong."
"Originally, the crown prince was Zhao Wen, that is, Zhao Hengyi, but later there was a fire in the court, and an accident caused him to live among the people."
"Now I will also officially announce this matter to all ministers, so that you can understand that the emperor is inherited from the throne, and it is not a rebellion, everything is to regain the throne that belongs to him."
"Is anyone against it?"
The ministers are all soft bones, what else do they have to oppose, since they have already watched people put on the dragon robes, they have already come here to worship their ancestors, what else is there to say.
If there is no objection, then the matter is done.
Immediately after that, the people of Honglu Temple began to announce the edict of enthronement.
"I am the emperor's lineage, but I am in the people. Emperor Gao was born with the Mandate of Heaven, opened the emperor's business, and lived democratically. Saints and saints, diligent in governance, martial arts and virtue ......"
"I obeyed the order, bowed down to public opinion, and on the first day of the lunar month, I only told the temple of heaven and earth, Sheji, that is, the emperor. Self-only cool and thin, reluctant to cherish Yongtu, Jia and Chinese and foreign relatives, follow the way,...... However, the ancient precept is the constitution, and the rule is perfect, and the people are healthy. ”
After the completion of this edict on the enthronement, basically their ritual for today is over.
To be honest, Zhao Hengyi listened to the clouds and fog, and he didn't particularly like this cumbersome process, and even had a hint of disgust.
Of course, this is mainly to show that his ascension to the throne is legitimate, his throne is very right, and he is not a thief, otherwise it is not good to leave a tongue for others.
On the way back, the Empress Dowager has been by Zhao Hengyi's side.
"Now it's time for you to exercise your power, what do you do?" she asked. Grandma is all there for you. ”
"Also, call my great-grandson over quickly."
"Grandma's body doesn't know how long she can live, and you don't know how to think about grandma."
