Chapter 705: Enthronement Ceremony

Following.

September 24, the 28th year of the Heavenly Sage.

Early in the morning, the sky was still slightly bright, and hundreds of officials and ministers had already gathered outside the palace.

After Zhao Jun came out of the palace, he and the hundred officials went towards Jingling Palace.

According to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, generally the new emperor ascended the throne on the day of the first to worship the Jingling Palace, and then go to the Taimiao Dynasty to feast, and finally go to the southern suburbs of the mound to worship the sky.

After that, you can go back to the palace to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

Following the process arranged by the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Jun took the hundred officials to Jingling Palace to worship the Yellow Emperor and tell the ancestors that they were going to ascend the throne.

Because Zhao Song claimed to be the descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the new emperor first came to Jingling Palace to pay tribute to the Yellow Emperor.

As for whether this statement is true, Zhao Jun doesn't know, but the regulations are like this, so he did it.

After Jingling Palace, he followed the hundred officials to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors of the Great Song Emperors of the past dynasties.

After some tedious sacrificial rituals, it came to the most important of the three sacrifices.

This trip was grand.

Before leading the hundred officials to the southern suburbs, they first returned to the Xuanhe Gate outside the palace, where all kinds of sacrificial needs had been prepared, and all kinds of ceremonial guards, utensils, and vehicles were arranged outside the Xuanhe Gate.

Finally, the hundred officials who participated in the festival led by Prime Minister Zhang Hehe put on their sacrificial clothes and waited in the palace.

In addition, 30,000 Yunzhou troops were temporarily dispatched to wear full armor to protect the entire palace!

After the ministries from all over the place drove away the idle people on the road, the sacrificial procession finally set out from the Xuanhe Gate and headed for the south gate.

Although people had already been arranged to drive away the idlers on the road, the onlookers still crowded both sides to watch this grand scene that may not be seen once in decades.

At the head of the honor guard are six elephants, three on the left and three on the left.

These six elephants are almost not together, and God knows how much effort the Ministry of Rites has wasted in the past few days to find these six elephants.

On the back of the elephant is a wooden lotus seat and a golden banana plate.

Each elephant is mounted on its back, with 1 soldier and is led by 4 soldiers.

They staggered slowly, and the sound of copper bells on their bodies reverberated clearly.

Behind them, a grand procession that was ten miles long followed closely and slowly walked into the royal street.

The elephant was followed by six high-ranking officials, known as the "Six Leads".

Walking in front is Han Liang, the prefect of Bianjing, and the second is Bai Fengzhong, the prefect of Bianjing. These two positions were often vacant in practice, but not now, and they represented the city government of the capital, Bianjing.

In third place is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wangyang, which represents the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty Ritual and Sacrifice Center.

And in fourth place is the young Fu Lu Lin of the current dynasty, representing the high-level elders of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fifth place is Gao Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, representing the central judicial system of the Great Song Dynasty.

The last of the six senior officials is the military department Shangshu, which represents the central administrative system.

They all passed with their heads held high in their respective honor guards.

Then, facing the cold wind, he walked through twelve black flags. One person on each side is in control, one is holding up, and four people are protecting each other.

Then there were four horsemen and eight knights.

They were followed by four or so generals, four generals, and two or so generals, all of whom were guarded by guards armed with spears, all of them with tall heads and horses, and their uniforms were new, and they looked strong and majestic.

That's it, it's just the head of the team.

The team came to the mound in the southern suburbs, first the ceremonial officials sang and drank the process, and then Zhao Jun recited the prayer to the heavens, and then the hundred officials sacrificed to the sky.

When everything was over, everyone returned to the Daqing Hall in the palace.

And Zhao Jun also changed into the crown dress for the major ceremonies of the Great Song Emperor under the service of a group of ceremonial officials.

Wearing a nine-chapter black and red dragon costume, with a gorgeous and heavy flat crown on his head.

A set of upper bodies instantly turned Zhao Jun into a jewelry shelf.

Why?

The main reason is that this crown dress of the Great Song Dynasty is too gorgeous, not to mention anything else, just talking about this Pingtian crown, every thing on it is enough for a family of Great Song Dynasty people to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing!

On the heavenly plate that is one foot two inches wide and two feet four inches long, there are twelve pearls in front and back, and there are twelve pearls outside the pearls, and the blue phoenix is ranked.

And on the top of the heavenly version, the dragon scale brocade is woven as the table, the jade is decorated with seven stars, and there are twenty-four amber bottles and rhino bottles next to it!

With the purple cloud and white crane brocade as the inside, there are twenty-four rhino bottles and amber bottles on it.

Then the four sides of the heavenly version are also decorated with gold wire knots, there are eight gold wire knots, and the pearls are used to make real pearls, miscellaneous jade jades, flower pendants, plain pendants, and purple clouds and white cranes are added to the brocade.

Then the crown body and the four heavenly pillars are woven into a dragon scale brocade, red silk.

The four pillars are decorated with seven treasures such as golden wheels, and the real jade is crushed, and there are two jade hooks.

Tianhe, risers, and slow belts are woven with belts. Nayan is made of jade, the gold is on the road, the two are yellow, and the pearl, the gold ornament hosta guide, the red silk ribbon.

These dense treasures can make people's scalps tingle just by looking at them.

Each one of them is the best of its kind!

This is just the crown of the sky, and the dragon costume is even more gorgeous.

It can be said that this body alone can't get down for tens or millions of taels of silver.

This is to wear a mountain of gold and silver!

Even Zhao Jun, who is accustomed to seeing silver, was shocked when he saw this set of equipment, in the past, his father was dressed in red and plain, and he couldn't imagine that the emperor's crown dress of the Great Song Dynasty was so gorgeous!

After putting on this body, the ministers have been waiting in the Daqing Hall for a long time.

Zhao Jun was surrounded by palace people, and slowly came towards the big celebration!

The civil and military officials were separated, and they all lowered their heads on both sides and did not dare to raise their heads, while the ceremonial officials standing under the imperial stairs used all their strength to sing loudly!

The majestic and grand ceremonial music sounded, and along with the ceremonial music, Zhao Jun slowly walked into the ceremony, and walked towards the top position step by step.

Finally, Lile came to the highest part, and Zhao Jun also came to the top throne step by step, and then slowly sat down.

Lile stopped.

Hundreds of civil and military officials began to worship.

"Long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

This step is to let the civil and military officials recognize the identity of this emperor.

Immediately after Lile started again, Empress Zhang also walked in in a crown dress, holding a tray in her hand, and as soon as she came in, she immediately attracted everyone's attention to which tray.

Under the red cloth, everyone knows that it is a jade seal representing the supreme power of the emperor.

Sure enough, when Queen Zhang dragged the tray to Zhao Jun and lifted the red cloth, it was really the heirloom jade seal of the Great Song Dynasty.

With the singing and drinking of the ceremonial official, Empress Zhang cherished the jade seal to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun hurriedly got up and took it with both hands.

At this time, I heard Empress Zhang say softly: "Jun'er, you will be the official family of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and the Great Song Dynasty will depend on you, don't let the ancestral inheritance be lost." ”

Zhao Jun nodded with a serious face.

In this way, the handover of the jade seal is completed.

This was followed by the promulgation of the edict of succession to the world.

And this enthronement edict has long been prepared.

……

[But my emperor Song, born by the mandate of heaven, is the owner of the people of the world.

Because of the captivity, the first emperor was the protector of the sect, and he had to recruit in person, but unfortunately the car driver was mistakenly trapped in the court. The crown prince succeeded the heroic martyrs of the previous emperor, and personally led the army to attack him, but he did not realize that the military discipline was lost, and the public opinion was covered.
