Xie Ming trembled all over after hearing this.
The ritual music outside has been playing all morning!
Solemn and solemn.
This is Dragon Flame!
This is the palace!
Xie Ming kept clenching his fists tightly. Why should he establish a constitutional monarch in his current term? He has not even fully enjoyed the power of the emperor! There haven't been many troublemakers lately, which is not a good thing for Xie Ming. He hopes that Long Yan will be as chaotic as possible. Only in this way will people miss the era of emperors! Only in this way will people remember their Xie family’s good deeds!
At this time, the palace was crowded with people from various departments.
The very large honor guard has been under the sun for a long time.
Naturally, people from the cabinet were also present.
Liu Zheng is still a little interested in this ancient enthronement ceremony. All kinds of formations, all kinds of decorations, all kinds of sacrificial things, all kinds of silks, this and that, I don’t know how much has been prepared.
"There are some royalists who have sneaked into the honor guard. Are they going to kill or maim them directly?"
Jiang Xuan got up early in the morning and was busy here with Gu Jin. At this time, he walked up to Liu Zheng and whispered.
Liu Zheng chuckled.
Jiang Xuan has been in a lot of mood recently, because Long Yan is now waging war everywhere, and Qin Changfeng has something to do. He is the only one who is still following Liu Zheng, and he is holding a Dark Night Legion tightly in his hand! joke! Who doesn’t want to make great achievements? But now he can only follow Liu Zheng, commanding these gangs of cavalry and guards in the capital, which makes him feel a lot frustrated.
"Why, Miss Gu is making things difficult for you again?"
Liu Zheng laughed.
Jiang Xuan's face turned red when he heard this.
Liu Zheng was a little annoyed by Gu Jin, so he simply asked Jiang Xuan to deal with her... Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan might have fallen in love with this girl, which made him feel more at ease and start doing his own job. ...This is a good thing, and Liu Zheng naturally agrees with it. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuan has reached the marriageable age, and this Gu Jin is also a very talented woman. Although her personality is a bit out of the ordinary, the two of them definitely match each other well.
"That's not true..."
Jiang Xuan responded with a blushing face.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "If you really fall in love with Miss Gu, those brothels in your family will not grow old."
Jiang Xuan was shocked and lowered his head to accept the instruction.
"As for the person who sneaked into the honor guard..."
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Why do you care about a bunch of rabble? If the emperor doesn't mind if his enthronement ceremony is ruined, then let them have a hard time!"
Jiang Xuan also laughed.
This Xie Ming really doesn’t want to give up.
too young……
He is really too young.
I can't see the current situation clearly. The old nobles, new nobles, and scholar-bureaucrats have all sided with Liu Zheng. Long Yan has changed, and your Xie family's world is no longer yours. Isn't it good to be an Anxin as a mascot? Liu Zheng's conditions for a constitutional monarch were still very favorable. As long as they are honest, there will be endless money to squander. Liu Zheng is willing to support them.
However……
Power is always so desirable, even moths fly to the flame.
So it has been since ancient times.
Jiang Xuan received Liu Zheng's order and ran over to help Gu Jin.
The zodiac has an auspicious day, and then comes an auspicious time.
Following, the mighty team headed towards the Yangxin Hall. This process is actually the most pretentious. This is the first step in the enthronement ceremony, persuasion.
Emperor Xie Ming will stay in the Yangxin Hall at this time.
Then, the ministers of the court came to the Yangxin Hall one after another, knelt down and said, "Go up to the couch. I have learned about the future affairs and have been ordered. The late Emperor Bintian mourned so much that he ordered it to be a ceremony." All Chinese and foreign subjects look up to and admire him."
Xie Ming must show his humility in this process, "What you said shows your sincerity of concern for the country, and I feel sorry for you. However, I have been ridiculed and refused to accept the matter of succession." In other words, You asked me to inherit the throne, but I have to be humble. I feel that my virtue and talent are not enough, so I will give in once. Then, the ministers and the emperor began a tug of war. You are ordered by God, why not?
No, no, my virtue is not enough to be an emperor.
Who should you disapprove of?
No one took it for granted...but I still can't agree so easily!
This is the so-called "three concessions and three concessions", and after these three times, Xie Ming felt at ease and agreed to become the emperor. This is "reluctantly complying with the request"!
Only in this way can it be shown that Xie Ming does not admire power. It is completely difficult to reject his kindness. It is destiny that you have raised me to the position of emperor.
The whole process was quite pretentious and a lot of time wasted.
From "not accepting what you ask for", to "not allowing what you ask for", to finally "complying to what you ask for"!
Liu Zheng almost fell asleep while watching, yawning again and again.
Next.
It’s a round hill offering sacrifices to heaven!
A huge group of people followed the emperor to worship heaven. This guy's complicated process alone made people very boring.
After offering sacrifices to the heaven, it is time to perform the ritual of the Eight Sutras.
That is, the moment of true enthronement!
At this time, the court officials and generals will visit a golden chair and place it to the east of the altar, facing south. This is the meaning of "sit north and face south, and call yourself lonely in the south".
Xie Ming walked up to the altar amid ritual music and people's shouts of long live.
This is telling God that I am going to be the emperor.
As for God, I don’t know whether you will agree to it or not. Anyway, the weather will usually be good on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and there will rarely be storms or rain. If it is about to appear, this is really a "bad omen". Clear skies are God’s answer.
It’s not enough to worship God here.
We still have to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship our ancestors.
This process lasted for a long time. As we all know, the Ancestral Temple is outside the city. After worshiping the ancestors, they will go back to worship the heaven and earth. After the ancestors have worshiped, they will go to worship their parents...
Then……
Return to the palace and bow down to your parents five times and three times...
Finally, he returned to Fengtian Palace and ascended the throne...
Do you think it’s just a matter of walking over and over?
Not so... Every link has very complex and subtle movements and operations. After such a tossing, everyone's bones will fall apart.
last step.
This is the real enthronement!
In the Fengtian Hall, Xie Ming must be carried up by the courtiers... This means that I am the emperor you supported! It’s not my subjective point of view that I must be the emperor!
Pretentious.
All in all, it's just pretentious.
Finally, he sat on the dragon throne and had to perform a costume change on the spot... All the civil and military officials had to change the imperial uniform for him on the spot, and change his regular clothes into the imperial uniform.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials returned to the queue and bowed in unison to congratulate the great saint.
Then, amid the solemn music and rituals, all officials, both civil and military, performed neat and uniform movements of lying on the ground and standing up, going back and forth four times, then flattening themselves, and the music stopped.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
At this time, Xie Ming accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.
Excited!
Even though he had been tortured to the point where he was about to fall apart, at this moment, his heart was still full of excitement!
He sat on a high dragon chair, looking down at the group of civil and military officials below.
starting from today.
He will truly become the emperor of Longyan.
The reign name is Hongzhi.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The entire Fengtian Hall was resounding with everyone’s cries.
This is definitely an atmosphere that can make people's blood boil.
emperor.
Innate imperial power!
Xie Ming's eyes came to the ministers again.
Surrounding the ministers, there are also those who are responsible for the guard of ceremony...
Soon.
It's coming soon!
Today, he is going to make the final blow!
This is the only chance!
If he misses today, he will never be able to make any waves again.
"Every official sends treasures!"
At this time, the Ouchi Manager was no longer the Zhou Manager.
General Manager Zhou has decided to withdraw from the political stage of the harem. The newly appointed General Manager Ouchi is a junior of General Manager Zhou. He is much younger and his voice is naturally much more exciting. When he was appointed as the Ouchi General Manager, he was still very excited. However, he was a eunuch. At this time, he had not thought that even if he was already the Ouchi General Manager, he would never be like the original Ouchi Manager. People respect. The establishment of a constitutional monarchy will turn these eunuchs into historical dust... They will no longer be able to participate in Long Yan's political situation. They may only be able to bully the maids in the harem.
Everything feudal will pass away.
The last process is to send treasures to officials.
This is roughly what it means. Today, the emperor has ascended the throne. This is a happy day. We, the civil and military officials, will send you a jade treasure together to officially recognize that you will be our emperor from now on. We will follow your lead. We, the civil and military officials, see you as a human being and express our respect for you.
"Jin Bao!"
Generally speaking, the person responsible for carrying this piece of jade into treasure should be the prime minister. But now there is no prime minister in Long Yan, so this responsibility naturally falls on Liu Zheng.
The jade treasure will be given to Liu Zheng on his knees.
Then, Liu Zheng slowly walked over under everyone's gaze.
The scene was suddenly quiet.
Xie Ming held the dragon chair with both hands and stared at Liu Zheng.
First assistant.
Such a young first assistant became the focus of the audience.
At this time, ordinary ritual music will start again.
What’s even more funny is that according to Long Yan’s rules, there is still dancing during this process, especially for those who enter the treasure...
The person who made the treasure leads the officials to dance together. This scene is so irritating to think about.
But Liu Zheng didn't.
When the ritual music started playing, Liu Zheng walked slowly towards the dragon chair.
Ah this?
A group of people were stunned.
This group of civil and military personnel is ready to dance with demons...
Seeing Liu Zheng being so domineering, my thoughts became complicated...
Strong!
Liu Zheng finally showed his strength in this link.
Xie Ming's face also darkened.
What he had originally prepared was to have the person he prepared take action when these demons were dancing wildly! In that chaotic scene, Liu Zheng must die!
However……
Facing Liu Zheng's cold face, his legs began to tremble again.
kill!
Kill me!
Where are the people!
Where are the people he prepared!
Among the people responsible for the ceremonial service, there are indeed people who are ready. But what no one expected was that... before they could take action, they were each being restrained by the people around them calmly and forcefully... Before they could react, the daggers hidden everywhere on their bodies had been found. And it was taken away in an instant!
"you……"
"you!"
"beat!"
These people who had laid a good ambush were immediately furious and started to cause trouble.
But soon, these people were dragged out of the crowd...
All of this was undercurrent, but it happened quietly, because there were too many people in charge of the ceremony. This seemingly dangerous process did not cause even a single ripple in the Fengtian Palace.
Didn't notice this side.
No.
Including Xie Ming.
He looked at Liu Zheng, who was getting closer and closer, and he began to break out in cold sweat.
Where are the people!
Where are the people he prepared!
Where are those assassins?
They should be out!
Why?
Why not!
He spent an unknown amount of money to kill these assassins! They were promised countless high-ranking officials and generous salaries!
why is that!
step.
Two steps.
Dozens of steps.
The atmosphere at the scene became depressing and tense following Liu Zheng's steps.
In his hand, he held the piece of jade.
He didn't dance.
The assassin didn't show up...
at last.
Liu Zheng finally came to where he should be, and then stood there upright, holding the jade treasure in both hands.
on site.
Silence fell.
