Chapter 180: Emperor Fengjing's Funeral, Emperor Fengwu's Accession to the Throne (2)

Emperor Fengjing died.

The funeral was certainly a national mourning.

Guo Tianyi ordered the whole country to observe seven days of silence.

At the same time, within seven days of the capital, officials of all sizes must wear linen and wear filial piety, and all happy events are forbidden in the palace, and excessive rituals need to be carried out during the time of stopping the spirit.

Naturally, Taoist priests are invited to do the rituals.

Guo Tianyi doesn't like monks.

Less than the third day, officials from all over the country gathered in the capital.

The entire capital is decorated with white arrangements, and it can be said that Guo Tianyi put the funeral of Emperor Fengjing to the highest standard.

The funeral process of the emperor was also very particular.

Generally, after the death of the emperor, he will be cleansed after three days of mortuary, which is called Xiaoyi.

The shroud is wearing nine pieces of clothing on the upper body and five pairs of pants underneath, symbolizing the ninety-five supreme.

After the burial is completed, the body will be moved to some special palace, called the funeral palace.

Generally, the mortuary will be stopped in this place for a few days, each emperor mortuary time is different, some emperors died suddenly, the mausoleum was not built so the mortuary will be suspended for a long time, and the time of the mortuary after the death of the emperor who has built the mausoleum is according to some auspicious days of the zodiac to carry out the funeral.

Emperor Fengjing's mausoleum has already been repaired, so seven days later is the day of the funeral.

Seven days later.

The mighty funeral procession came out of the Xuanwu Gate and slowly advanced towards the imperial tomb.

In the middle of the honor guard, there were 128 coffin bearers carrying huge coffins.

The guard of honor goes through many steps, each of which has strict rules.

The 64 banners at the front lead the way, meaning auspicious.

There are also funeral bands of thousands of people accompanying the music, and there are also a large number of funeral goods in the funeral procession, followed by officials and spiritual guards, and finally ordinary people.

As far as the eye can see, there are tens of thousands of people in the funeral procession.

After the funeral, it was already noon.

Among them, according to the regulations, the concubines of Emperor Fengjing's harem are to be buried together.

But Guo Tianyi felt that this was too inhumane, so he changed the decree and let the young concubines go to the royal temple to become monks.

This also made Emperor Fengjing's women very grateful to Guo Tianyi.

Of course, there are many women who frequently flatter Guo Tianyi and want to tie up Guo Tianyi.

This kind of thing is not unusual.

There have been such things in all dynasties.

Some women have not been pampered since they entered the palace and even died of old age.

And it is not uncommon for the prince to have an affair with the concubines of the harem.

But Guo Tianyi, as a person of later generations, naturally would not do anything out of the ordinary during the funeral of the first emperor.

In the past few days, Guo Tianyi only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

The Heart Cultivation Hall has been renovated.

All the things that Emperor Fengjing used were all replaced.

And Guo Tianyi also naturally lived in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

There is also the original crown princess, who also stayed in the harem.

The harem that used to be full now seems a little deserted.

The next day, the sun had just risen.

The people of the capital gathered in front of the temple, and countless vendors also moved their businesses to the long street outside the temple.

Today is a big day.

It is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.

After the officials of the world attended the funeral of Emperor Fengjing, they came to the Taimiao Temple again, ready to witness this great moment.

Under the sound of liturgy and the attention of all people.

Wearing a dragon robe, Guo Tianyi, who was magnificent, slowly stepped onto the ladder.

In the "General Examination of Literature", there is "nothing is greater than the right position, and etiquette is more prosperous than changing the yuan." ”

In ancient China, home and country were inseparable.

Whoever ascends to the throne has the right to rule over all subjects and the land of the whole country.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, a grand enthronement ceremony will be held, and through a series of rituals such as worshiping the heavens and telling the ancestors, it will be announced that the world's own emperor is sacrosanct.

The sacrificial activities lasted for a full hour.

Every process is extremely exquisite.

Guo Tianyi did so in accordance with the etiquette.

Surprisingly, the etiquette of Dafeng is no different from the etiquette of the ancient Chinese kings when they ascended the throne.

Many rituals have not even been seen in film and television dramas.

"Your Majesty, it's time to make a decree."

Wei Cao Dechun took the edict of enthronement, came to Guo Tianyi's side, and said respectfully.

Today's Cao Dechun is also popular.

Guo Tianyi ascended the throne, and he became the previous Cao Dechun.

Officials from all walks of life were polite to him.

and Xiao Anzi, who is also extremely happy.

They are all people who have accompanied Guo Tianyi for more than ten years.

can see Guo Tianyi come to this day, in addition to excitement, they are more admired.

Imperial power is always fought for.

They know how much Guo Tianyi has experienced, and they also know how amazing Guo Tianyi is.

Serving such a king doomed them, the eunuchs, to not dare to have superfluous thoughts.

"Okay."

Guo Tianyi responded and took the edict.

The breeze blew, and Guo Tianyi's dragon robe hunted.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Guo Tianyi with a lot of respect.

In Russia, Guo Tianyi opened the edict, and Lang Lang's voice rang out:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The first emperor collapsed suddenly and returned to the five elements."

"I inherit the order of the emperor, the holy Hongxiu, and follow the last order of the emperor of Daxing, which belongs to the order of the emperor, and enters the sect."

"The civil and military ministers and the elderly soldiers and civilians inside and outside the country, combined words to persuade and advance, as for repeatedly, the resignation refuses to be obtained, and I would like to tell heaven and earth at this time, that is, the emperor's throne...."

"I must be reformed and renewed, self-respecting, still relying on relatives and virtuous, and trying to rule the new country."

"Next year is the first year of martial arts, amnesty for the world, and the beginning of the people. All matters relating to the merger are listed below.

Chin this! ”

With the completion of the reading of the edict, Guo Tianyi's status as an emperor can be regarded as completely legalized.

"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live...."

"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live...."

"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live...."

Hundreds of civil and military officials, palace guards, accompanying troops, and the people watching outside the temple knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.

It's an exciting time.

Guo Tianyi is the emperor, and everyone is happy.

Especially the people.

They don't care about the change of dynasty, but what they care about is whether there is a good king.

Advocating imperial power has been a tradition since ancient times.

When Guo Tianyi was established as the crown prince, the people of the capital celebrated for three days.

How long has it been?

Guo Tianyi successfully ascended the throne.

The people were even more happy.

The enthronement ceremony has come to an end.

There are still many things to be dealt with by the new emperor.

There are also some who are unhappy.

For example, the emperor's uncle, King Qin, King Wei and others.

But at this point, they can only watch.

Guo Tianyi's ascension to the throne is the will of the people and the trend of the times, and they can only cooperate obediently.

Again.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, they didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

Now, times have changed.

Without Emperor Fengjing, the ghost knows if Guo Tianyi will take them under the knife.

The living princes, except for the young ones, the older princes are all in fear.

The Imperial History also recorded today's events.

In the spring of the thirty-fourth year of Yuande, Emperor Fengjing died.

Guo Tianyi ascended the throne as emperor.

The name of the era was changed to Wude.

Since then, the era of Emperor Fengwu has begun.
