Money has many functions. There are countless things that can be done with money in this world, and some things that can be done without spending money can definitely be done more beautifully if you are willing to spend money.
For example, the canonization ceremony.
After some preparations, on April 27, the canonization ceremony of King Shunyi was officially held at the Shunyi Prince's Racecourse in Guihua City.
Han Naji gathered the Mongolian nobles and their subordinates who had attended the Kuritai Conference before, as well as the heads of various ministries under Zhongjin Hatun.
At that time, a canonization field was built in the racecourse. The field was ten feet long and wide. It was made of wire poles and wood. The hall was equipped with hundreds of blue silks, hundreds of red cloths, three shuttles and forty pieces of green cashmere, eighty square handkerchiefs and sweat towels, and mats. One hundred collars, two hundred hemp ropes, four colorful pavilions, and twenty pairs of colorful flags. A yellow curtain is set up in the atrium, and incense is burned as an offering.
All the Mongolian nobles attending the meeting today went to the imperial envoy's camp in advance to practice Chinese rituals. After practicing the etiquette, they went to the shed with great fanfare.
Gao pragmatically ordered the twelve Taoists and the emperor to give Han Naji a red and colorful silk python robe with eight colored satin on the outside and inside. The rest of the people were all dressed in various colors and silk robes.
When the time came, Han Naji, Zhongjin and Hatun led the leaders of various tribes to welcome the imperial edict, and kowtowed four times to the south.
After paying homage, the Han official copied Huang and started reading. There is no need to dwell too much on this imperial edict. It is nothing more than a routine: "Full affirmation, high praise, high expectations, and bright prospects."
After that, the Hannaji performs a thank-you ceremony, and then takes off his hat and kowtows four more times - this is the Mongolian ceremony, and taking off his hat and kowtowing is the most respectful.
The plenipotentiary envoy Gao Jingshi stood proudly on the center stage, accepted the gift on behalf of the emperor, and awarded the new King's Seal of Shunyi - just as Gao Jingshi said before, this time the King's Seal did not "cut corners", but was a serious gold-plated silver print.
At the same time, hand over the gold-plated copper seal that Han Naji received from Zhongjin Hatun to Gao Pragmatic.
The rest of the Mongolian nobles knelt down, bowed their heads and shouted, "Long live the Emperor of Heaven, a thousand years old King Shunyi" and other words.
At this point, the ceremony of ennobling the king of Shunyi has been completed, and the main tasks of Gao Pingshi's trip have been successfully completed.
After that, it was nothing more than eating and drinking - oh, I should say it was a feast for the guests.
Han Naji, who is the richest man in Mongolia, "picked up" the King of Shunyi to be his son, so naturally he would not be petty. He learned the customs of the Han people in the Central Plains taught to him by Gao pragmatism, held a flowing banquet, and announced a three-day carnival with endless banquets. , winning cheers from the audience.
Gao Pragmatic was insensitive to the overly greasy Mongolian banquet. After eating a few slices of tender beef shank meat, he just smiled and talked to Bahan Naji and others. Na Ji, a die-hard fan, naturally followed his example and refused to eat more. He chatted with Gao Pragmatic almost hungry.
This is a bitter experience for the Mongolian bosses next to me, like Qie Jin and Huo Luo Chi, who usually eat more than three kilograms of meat. This one is clearly known as a carnival, but they can only eat three or four taels before starting to talk nonsense. He was so hungry that his eyes were green, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of Gao Pragmatic. It was really painful and he had to keep smiling.
Chatterji was more generous than them. In addition to not daring to drink too much in front of Gao Pragmatic to avoid being rude, he still dared to eat to his fullest. This performance made Gao Pingshi nod in his heart, feeling that he was still more like a simple military general than these tribal leaders.
However, the others were not really hungry for long, because after about half an hour, the pragmatic and pragmatic Ambassador Gao Qin left the table on the pretext of being drunk. God knows how he got "drunk". Apart from taking a sip of Han Naji's toast to him, the man didn't drink at all.
However, Han Naji was full of praise for his An Da's calmness, and repeatedly told the people around him that this was "only a great hero can be true to his true nature, and a true celebrity flows from his own style." If I follow this theory, I am afraid that Zhongjin Hatun is the most heroic and famous person - how much can she eat if she is a beautiful woman?
After the important matter of enthroning the King of Shunyi was completed, the next step was to inherit the title of Wheel-turning King.
Of course, theoretically, this is not called inheritance.
Although the Yellow Sect has not been developed in Mongolia for a long time, due to the strong promotion of Anda, it has basically become the state religion. The Living Buddha naturally knew how to order Han Naji's three-day carnival, so... he arrived three days later From Guihua City.
Guihua City was filled with happy events during this period. Han Naji politely welcomed the living Buddha into the city and asked him to stay at Dazhao Temple.
But the first thing the Living Buddha did when he came to Guihua City was not to immediately give Han Naji the honorary title, but to hold a ritual ceremony for An Da's burial.
I won’t waste too much time describing the rituals and so on. All in all, it took nearly ten days to complete. And after Anda’s coffin had been parked in Dazhao Temple for almost half a year, it was finally buried, which is quite impressive. Easy.
On the ninth day of May, the Yellow Sect held a grand Dharma assembly at Dazhao Temple. At the Dharma assembly, the Living Buddha announced in front of many Mongolian nobles and monks that he would give Han Naji "Zankevardi" - the Wheel-turning King. Honorable title.
From now on, Bhannaji will be Zakvardi Chechen Khan.
Chechen Khan means the wise and wise Khan. When these two words are connected, it roughly means the wise and wise reincarnation of the Great Khan.
Well, it kind of means a lot of titles for Western nobles.
Gao pragmatic did not attend the Dharma conference, but sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. As for whether he was relying on his identity or had other motives, others naturally had many speculations, but Gao Pragmatic was not interested in paying attention.
In fact, he was just not interested in religious rituals. After all, he was a staunch atheist in his previous life. He did not even worship gods and Buddhas, but only worshiped his ancestors.
He was waiting for Sonam Gyatso to take the initiative to visit him.
Sonam Gyatso's status in the religious world is naturally highly respected, but the East is the East after all, not medieval Europe where the church is above all else, so when Gao Pragmatic insisted on putting on this air, this very realistic living Buddha did not hesitate He chose to take the initiative to pay homage to the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ming Emperor.
In fact, the time of this visit was the night when Hannaji was given the title of Chakravartin King.
Since the other party was well-informed and interested, Gao Pragmatic was willing to "respect me a foot and I respect others a foot", so he personally welcomed him in at the gate of the imperial envoy's residence.
Of course, it is okay to greet someone in person, but not to open the middle door wide, because he represents the emperor. To greet someone is to know the courtesy, but to open the middle door is a waste of courtesy. There is a difference.
Originally, this episode was not worth mentioning, but because of the words the Living Buddha said when he first met Gao Jinggggggong, this first meeting was recorded in many history books and scriptures of later generations.
Because when the living Buddha came down from the Dharma chariot to meet Gao Jingshi and recited the rites, he suddenly looked at Gao Jingshi for a moment, then stared at Gao Jingshi without saying a word for a while, and then said in surprise: "It turns out it's surrender. The Third Ming King."
