An auspicious day has been chosen, and the enthronement ceremony will soon come.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, the whole world celebrates, and naturally there are countless red tapes.
Faced with such a major event, even the temperamental prince had no choice but to endure it and study patiently.
Officials also have their own etiquette of obedience.
Obviously, Fang Zhengyi knew that he was a supporting role and was too lazy to learn these customs.
Someone from the Ministry of Rites came and found an excuse to escape.
Anyway, since the day he entered the court, he had not had much contact with the Ministry of Rites. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he can just show off by himself.
As long as he didn't open his mouth, no one would notice him.
There are still many matters in Taoyuan County that require his personal participation. Although he is not good at scientific research, taking out the memory fragments in his mind will undoubtedly greatly promote the progress of research.
When Emperor Jing got the news, he just said calmly that he didn't need to worry about it.
The son-in-law is hopeless due to his virtue.
Moreover, he has safely abdicated the throne now. This enthronement ceremony does not need to be too serious. Everything is mainly festive and showing the harmony between father and son.
Even he himself skipped many ceremonies. Originally, the ministers had to persuade him three times, but he first declined twice and then gave up his position.
The original intention was to highlight a mainstream virtue, but now it is dispensed with.
Perhaps it was because Emperor Jing himself had not recovered from his injury and did not want to engage in these vulgar rituals. It was more likely that due to the influence of the industrial age, people's hearts had undergone subtle changes...even the Ministry of Rites did not stop him much.
...
The day of the enthronement ceremony finally arrived.
Li Yuanzhao dressed up and led his ministers and officials to worship heaven and earth, the ancestral temple and the country.
When the team arrived at Fengtian Hall, drums were beating loudly around them.
When the drumming ended, the officials arranged their appearance and court uniforms.
The sound of two drums sounded, and hundreds of officials lined up outside the Meridian Gate, standing in order of rank.
Directly until the sound of the three-way drum sounded, and then ended, all the officials entered one after another.
Li Yuanzhao continued to walk forward according to the etiquette, with the sound of bells and chimes ringing loudly and music everywhere...
In the Fengtian Hall, Emperor Jing was already sitting and waiting here.
Next to him, Guo Tianyang looked a little sluggish than usual.
Although I knew this day had come a long time ago, it was still difficult to accept it when it finally arrived.
First, I have accompanied His Majesty all his life and I feel sorry for His Majesty.
Secondly, it’s because of myself.
A generation of Dongchang factory boss, with overwhelming power, the number one figure that no one dares to mess with except Fang Zheng.
All the power in his hands comes from His Majesty, and it will come to an end today with His Majesty's abdication...
The only thing that makes him happy is that there should be no worries in his old age.
Finally, Li Yuanzhao entered the palace with hundreds of officials.
Emperor Jing's eyes immediately turned to him, and at the same time he paid attention to the reactions of the officials from the corner of his eye.
Many veterans were in tears...
Emperor Jing could not help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites came forward to report. After Emperor Jing responded one by one according to the routine, he glanced at Guo Tianyang.
Guo Tianyang swallowed and said with understanding: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accepts the order!"
"My son, I accept the order." Li Yuanzhao knelt down and bowed.
Guo Tianyang read out the imperial edict prepared by Zaoyi in a calm tone.
Li Yuanzhao took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I accept the order and thank you!"
After the words fell, it was the moment for the handover of the king.
Guo Tianyang chanted, and Li Yuanzhao stood up and waited slowly step by step up to the Jinluan Hall.
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered and he stood up...
At this moment of witnessing history, the hearts of His Highness and his ministers were already in their throats.
Only Fang Zhengyi was filled with emotion. He raised his head and saw Li Yuanzhao sitting on the dragon chair.
This moment was a dream for him, as scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
He rose from a young age, entered the center of power, and stirred up the storm in the torrent of history...
Now, he has personally witnessed the end of a generation of great emperors, and at the same time will witness the new emperor's journey to open up a magnificent history...
Li Yuanzhao sat on the dragon chair, looking around, feeling quite uncomfortable and a little nervous in his heart.
He wanted to say something, but Emperor Jing was sitting next to him, always feeling like he was going to be beaten.
A while ago in the main hall, he and Lao Fang were beaten severely.
After looking around, he finally locked his eyes on Fang Zhengyi.
Seeing Fang Zhengyi made him feel less unsure.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to speak. After another round of formal etiquette, Guo Tianyang began to read out the list of canonizations.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally appoint a group of officials and then grant a general amnesty. This has been planned by the Ministry of Rites.
Officials were recommended by the central government, and it was no surprise that Fang Zhengyi recommended a group of powerful confidants.
After the canonization was finished, all the officials saluted and shouted three times: "Long live."
The tension in Li Yuanzhao's heart also eased a lot, and he said with a smile: "Everyone is safe."
After saying that, he glanced at Emperor Jing as if he had a guilty conscience.
Emperor Jing glared back fiercely.
Rare eyebrows! Now that he has become the emperor, what kind of guilt does he feel?
The ministers were still looking at Li Yuanzhao with expectant eyes.
Li Yuanzhao coughed lightly: "Ahem, I... want to be alone for a while. You all can go down."
"..."
Silence, deathly silence!
Never would I have expected that the first words the new emperor would say after ascending the throne would be like this?
All the officials from the Ministry of Rites were even more disheartened and looked at Li Yuanzhao with despair.
its not right! That’s not how the script is arranged!
Everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding and looked at Emperor Jing beside him.
Emperor Jing nodded slightly.
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, saluted collectively and then faded away like a tide.
Fang Zhengyi also had black lines all over his head.
The prince, the emperor, did it! Why are you acting like a puppet!
Let's go, I probably want to have something to say to Emperor Jing alone.
Fang Zheng raised his feet and was about to leave when Li Yuanzhao spoke again.
"That old... Fang Qing stays here. I have something to say to you alone."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at Emperor Jing: "Father, I have important matters to discuss with him."
Emperor Jing sighed softly: "Okay, in the future, you must be solemn and never act like this."
After he finished speaking, he gave Fang Zheng a meaningful look and left slowly with the support of Guo Tianyang.
There were only two figures left in the hall.
Li Yuanzhao arched his butt back and leaned back on the dragon chair, wondering what he was thinking about.
Fang Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, how are you feeling?"
Li Yuanzhao said blankly: "I don't know. I see that the minds of those people below are completely blank."
"My father has been the emperor for so many years, and now it is my turn. I really feel uncomfortable..."
Fang Zhengyi continued: "Then... Your Majesty, you may wish to think about what you have to do, and then discuss it with the officials after you have thought about it."
Li Yuanzhao thought deeply: "Of course, I have a lot of things I want to do. I'm wondering if those people released by Amnesty will cause trouble, and whether they should be captured again next month."
"..."
"Also, our country, Dajing, has reaped such huge profits overseas and with the rise of industry, the proportion of agricultural taxes has become smaller and smaller, less than 10%. Is it possible to completely exempt the people of the world from agricultural taxes?"
"It is completely possible, but the resistance is very high and it is definitely not a short-term success. I suggest that we wait until His Majesty has more information before discussing it. I am afraid that rash action will cause shock to the DPRK. Your Majesty has a good idea in mind, but looking at it In ancient and modern times, no dynasty has ever dared to do such an earth-shattering event."
"Earth-shaking? Oh, then it seems I have to do it!"
Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.
This is what the Holy King should consider, but according to the current social productivity, I am afraid that this goal is far from being achieved.
The pattern of interests is also extremely difficult to break. The amount of agricultural tax collected across the country is not too much.
But places will never give up.
Li Yuanzhao touched his chin and murmured: "Yes, before I do something big, I have to change the name of the year and rename it..."
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas about the reign name?"
"My father established the reign name Jinghe. Now it seems that my father has fulfilled his original wish. I hope that the great scenery will last forever and shine with the sun and the moon... The sun and the moon are bright, so why not call it Daming?" how do you feel?"
"The name of the year... Ming Dynasty?" Fang Zheng blinked, his thoughts wandering.
Ming dynasty...
"Da Ming, good! I think it's particularly good."
"You think it's good too, so there shouldn't be any controversy next." Li Yuanzhao smiled while stroking his hands and said: "Actually, there is one more thing that I have been thinking about for many years, ever since you entered the palace."
Fang Zhengyi felt a little strange and asked, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Can you do that again?"
"Are you coming again?" Fang Zheng said with a dull expression as he understood the idea wholeheartedly.
"Yes, that's it, hurry up!"
"Your Majesty, your majesty has divine civilization, holy martial arts, civilized martial arts, and benefits the common people....Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
