Chapter 131: The new emperor ascends the throne
The enthronement ceremony and the funeral of the first emperor were carried out at the same time, and all of them were handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple to be responsible for handling.
If you don't find a professional to do this kind of thing, do you want him, a regent who knows nine out of ten and only knows nothing, to come?
So what is Li Jing doing?
Naturally, it is to exercise the power of the emperor, who let that there is no emperor now, only he, the regent, can do it for him, even if there is an emperor, it is the same!
He is destined to work hard, look at how good the king is, he only needs to eat and drink every day, without the slightest worry!
He doesn't have this life, and he doesn't know if he will enjoy Qingfu in this life.
Li Jing will honestly review the folds by himself, thinking too much, he doesn't want to get up early and be greedy like Zhu Yuanzhang, he is tired and tired, but the minister has nothing to do.
He doesn't want the hundred bureaucrats to get up before I get up, it's not as good as the situation of the rich man in Jiangnan, what happened to him, it's better to let the hundred bureaucrats get up early, and work hard with the others, it's better for everyone to share the joys and sorrows together!
He sent all the pieces to the three provinces and let them take care of them, except for military affairs, the right to execute the death penalty, and the right to appoint and dismiss officials above the sixth grade, other government affairs were decided by the three provinces through consultation.
In this way, not only will it not be too tired, but at the same time, hundreds of officials will have something to do, and at the same time, it can also increase work efficiency, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone!
As an official of the imperial court, it is not good to just take money and not do anything!
Eater's Fortune! Take care of the king's worries!
Isn't it their job to serve the royal family, assist the superior in governing the world, and let them handle some government affairs!
As for this enthronement ceremony, it is set for tomorrow, and now is the period of state mourning, and everything must be simple.
Even the diet of the prime minister Li Dan is mainly light, and during the emperor's funeral, it is forbidden to drink big fish and meat, drink and have fun, of course, except for Li Jing himself!
As a person who is about to become the new emperor, you should take this head, and a bowl of white porridge is the standard for every meal!
Someone asked, is there no dish?
Don't you know that before the Yu sacrifice, you can only drink a bowl of white porridge? This is the awe of the Emperor Daxing!
Therefore, Li Jing arranged for someone to give Li Dan three meals of white porridge a day, which is in line with the etiquette of the funeral, if it is really strictly implemented according to the funeral, Li Dan can only drink a bowl of white porridge in the morning and evening a day, and now he has an extra meal, which is a respect for the new emperor!
Li Jing's side, it can't be too much, three dishes and one soup are the minimum standard, if you can't eat more, it will be wasted, and the waste is shameful! To be a man, you must learn to be thrifty!
"King Xiang, you have to serve with all your heart, don't be lazy, understand?"
Li Jing did not forget to care about the future emperor when he ate.
"It's all according to you, and you're doing your best!"
Ximen Yang hurriedly answered.
"Hmmm! I don't want Emperor Daxing's situation to happen to King Xiang again!"
Li Jing doesn't want Li Xian's death to happen to Li Dan again, he doesn't want Li Dan's funeral to be done with Li Xian's!
"Regent, rest assured! This time, we are extra careful, every object sent to the Xiangwang is in the palm of the imperial doctor's hand to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Ximen Yang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he naturally didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and he was naturally strict against Li Dan.
If the regent's major affairs are ruined, he will die and will not be able to escape the blame!
……
Early the next morning, the enthronement ceremony began.
Xiangwang Li Dan wore an old dragon robe, which was the dragon robe worn by Li Xian before, and walked out of the regent palace accompanied by Li Jing.
As for why he wore the dragon robe of the Emperor of Daxing?
That's because everything is simple, not extravagant, wasteful, and nihilistic formalism!
Anyway, Li Dan can't be the emperor for long, even if he makes one for him, he may not be able to wear it.
What's more, he and Li Xian are brothers, and the younger brother wears the clothes left by the elder brother, isn't it normal?
This is a normal thing!
"Uncle Huang, today is the day you ascend the throne, you should be happy, and you want to show your best side to the hundred officials! Just like me!"
Li Jing smiled at Li Dan beside him, and showed Li Dan what joy is beyond words!
Li Dan pulled the corners of his mouth, that smile was more ugly than crying!
I can't laugh!
Under house arrest by his own good nephew, he is worried every day, he can't eat well, he doesn't sleep well, he doesn't live as well as a dog, at least the dog doesn't have to worry about when he will be shook, such a dark life, how can he laugh?
"Yes, that's how it should be, today is the big day for you to ascend the throne, Uncle Huang, you should be happy!"
Li Jing smiled, suave and elegant!
In Li Dan's eyes, it was a demon's smile!
Li Jing was holding ...... Oh no, it was to accompany Li Dan out of the regent palace, and outside was Di Qing and thousands of Zuo Jinwu guards.
As soon as he saw Li Jing come out, Di Qing led the Jinwuwei soldiers to salute: "See the regent!"
As for the prime minister Li Dan, the future new emperor, they directly ignored it, the puppet in the hands of the regent, what qualifications did they have to accept their gifts!
"Ahem......"
Li Jing coughed a few times, signaling everyone to give Li Dan some face, anyway, he is also his uncle, the king of the Tang Dynasty, he should give him a salute, this is the least respectful, just like him!
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prime Minister!"
After getting Li Jing's hint, Di Qing took the Jinwuwei soldiers to salute Li Dan, which seemed much more casual compared to Li Jing!
"Uncle Huang, it's not too early, please hurry up and get on the sedan chair, so as not to miss the hour!"
Li Jing was very satisfied with Di Qing's attitude, this was to remind Li Dan who is the real master, don't think that if you ascend to the throne of God, you can have a wrong thought!
Li Jing made a gesture of invitation to Li Dan, and the sedan chair man immediately pressed the sedan chair, and Li Dan hurriedly got into the sedan chair.
Eight guards lifted the sedan chair, surrounded by the Jinwuwei soldiers, and went to the palace, where Li Xian parked the coffin in the Wude Hall.
"Alas! I didn't expect that I would ascend to the throne again in such a way......"
Li Dan in the sedan chair showed a wry smile.
Back then, his mother, Empress Wu, deposed the seventh brother Li Xian, supported him as a puppet emperor, and planned to wait until the time was ripe for Empress Wu to let him voluntarily take the throne.
As a result, Empress Wu's dream had not yet come true, so Li Jing entered the palace, overthrew Empress Wu's rule, and re-established Li Xian to restore the throne, thinking that he had gotten rid of the fate of the puppet emperor.
Now that Li Xian is dead, he didn't expect that he still hasn't escaped the fate of the puppet emperor.
Pathetic, alas!
Just when he complained about his bad fate, Li Jing and Jin Wuwei escorted him to Suzaku Street.
In order for Li Dan's enthronement ceremony to be held smoothly, Jin Wuwei had already blocked the entire street, and the crowd that came to watch could only stand behind the soldiers and watch.
"Look, it's His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"Long live His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"Wow! His Royal Highness the Regent is so handsome, I want to warm the quilt for His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"People don't look good, they think it's quite beautiful, and they don't look at their background, I'm afraid they don't even have the qualifications to enter the palace as a maid, and they want to warm the quilt for the regent!"
There was a lot of talking.
The topics of discussion are all around Li Jing, as for Li Dan, the prime minister in the sedan chair, everyone doesn't know each other at all, and there is nothing to talk about, so the reader said a few words, for the common people, or the regent who brings them benefits is the best target of discussion!
Li Jing and his entourage quickly walked towards the palace, after entering the imperial city, they did not go through the main gate of the palace, but entered the palace through the side door, the main gate can only be walked by serious emperors, Li Dan, the puppet emperor, is not worthy.
You can only walk through the side door, and then walk from the sandwich road to the Wude Palace, which is the place where the Daxing Emperor Li Xianzi Palace is parked, and it is also the place where the new Emperor Li Dan ascends the throne!
Everything is simple, funerals and happy events are done together!
Soon, the team escorting Li Dan appeared in front of the Wude Palace, and the emperor's relatives, officials above the third rank, and the Siyi chiefs stood in a row on the left and right.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of the Wude Palace, Li Dan got out of the sedan chair, entered the gate, passed through the square in front of the Wude Palace, and climbed the steps to stand in front of the Wude Palace.
"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"See His Royal Highness the Prime Minister!"
Before Li Dan officially became the emperor, he still called him His Royal Highness, and only after he ascended the throne would he change his words, call His Majesty on major occasions, and usually call him a saint!
Whoever makes the emperors of the Tang Dynasty are all descendants of Taishang Laojun, even if this is a shameless person who comes up to recognize his relatives, he must be called a saint!
"Uncle Huang, please! Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace is parked inside, please worship Emperor Daxing first!"
Li Jing said to Li Dan.
Li Dan nodded, raised his feet and walked in, and put incense on Li Xian, sighing in his heart, he didn't expect that his brothers, since the last time they parted, they met again but they were separated forever!
"Please put your hand on Emperor Daxing's Zigong Palace, facing all the ministers!"
Li Jing said to Li Dan, support the coffin in place, if you don't hold the coffin, how can you call it a coffin?
Li Dan was very puzzled, he knew that he was enthroned in front of the coffin, but what did it mean to put his hand on the Zigong Palace? He couldn't figure it out!
Although he had doubts in his heart, he obediently put his hand on the Azusa Palace and faced the ministers.
"Long live the Regent!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Fu Youyi just stood up and took the lead in shouting.
"Long live the Regent!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and chiefs of Siyi also paid homage with a big salute!
The first object of their worship is actually the regent Li Jing, and the second is Li Dan, the new emperor, if Li Jing is not willing to ascend the throne, it will be Li Dan's turn to be the emperor, and it would be good to be able to salute him!
Li Jing looked at the people outside the Wude Palace, and the mountains shouted long live, and his heart was surging!
At this moment, the unprecedented comfort is even more refreshing than when I first entered Chang'an!
No wonder so many people in history want to be emperors, as a regent, he feels cool, if he sits on the dragon chair, wouldn't it be cool!
After the visit, Li Dan changed the name of the year to the first year of Xiantian, and the enthronement ceremony ended, Li Dan's enthronement ceremony was a bit casual, no way, everything was for simplicity!
After Li Dan's enthronement ceremony, Li Xian's Zigong was transported away from Wude Hall and transported to Dingling for burial, everything was simple, and Li Xian was not given any funeral goods!
