After feeling the power of the Dragon Qi Forbidden Technique, Wang Jing regained his emotions, picked up the copper bell next to him and knocked it lightly. The sound was heard outside, and an attendant eunuch immediately came to the door to take orders.
"Invite the Grand Master, the Privy Councilor, and the Chief of the Secretariat to come and see you!"
Wang Jing's voice was calm.
The eunuch immediately went to deliver the order, and soon after, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang, the great scholars from the three central provinces, Bu Zhi, the privy envoy, and Gao Xi, the chief of the Secret Supervisory Office, came together.
"Greetings to the King!"
Everyone came in to pay their respects. Wang Jing immediately gave him a seat without any courtesy.
Three of these four people are the highest officials in the three central provinces of the Huai Army. Although Gao Xi's status as the head of the Secret Document Supervision is relatively low, he has instigated the Huai Army's southward strategy and made great achievements with the army. Gao Xi has already become the core of the Huai army.
Moreover, Wang Jing also left the preparations for the enthronement ceremony to the other party, which shows his trust.
"How are you preparing the three crystal coins?"
Wang Jing took the initiative to ask without waiting for them to speak.
Wang Guangyang stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have discovered more than 30 crystal veins in Huaixi Province, and they are mining and casting crystal coins day and night. To date, the Mint Department has accumulated 18 million Gold crystal coins, 50 million silver crystal coins, and 100 million black crystal coins..."
Wang Jing led his army southward, which does not mean that the major provinces in the north of the Yangtze River will not develop. In addition to supplying military supplies, the central ministers and provincial envoys spent a lot of effort in developing the provinces.
The people Wang Jing placed as chief envoys in several major provinces were basically top talents like Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.
Whether it is the center or the local government, they are all focused on the Huai Army.
The same applies to the Construction Department and the Mint Department.
A steady stream of spiritual stones and various precious ores were brought in, and then through this method, they were turned into three-crystal coins that could store spiritual power.
After the enthronement hall.
Wang Jing will definitely reward all the ministers and the three armies. For the middle and upper-level ministers, they can be promoted to official positions, but for the lower-level ministers and soldiers in the army, a lot of money will be needed.
"Eighteen million gold crystal coins...enough!"
Wang Jing nodded slightly, very satisfied.
At this time, Gao Xi stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have led the ministers to practice etiquette three times. Please choose an auspicious day!"
"What's the nearest auspicious day?"
"I observe the stars at night, and the nearest auspicious day is the third day of May!"
Wang Jing said in a deep voice: "Then it will be set on the third day of May. The country will be named Xia. The year name will not change and it will still be Taichu!"
"I accept your order!"
After everyone got the clear time to ascend the throne, they couldn't help but feel a little excited. After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, they were all the founding heroes. When the time came, they would be rewarded with titles and retire with the country.
Their family business can continue with the Great Xia Dynasty.
With Wang Jing's current lifespan, if he wanted to remain in power, even being an emperor for one or two thousand years would not be a problem. If the prince cannot break through to the ninth level, he might be tortured to death by Wang Jing.
As long as Wang Jing is still there, there will be no problems with the national destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After Wang Jing made his decision.
The time of the enthronement ceremony soon reached the ears of the officials in Yangzhou. The generals who were scattered in various places basically returned to Yangzhou, except for a few who needed to guard against powerful enemies and could not return.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it’s May.
The third day of May in the fifth year of Taichu.
The weather was fine, and the early morning sunshine was shining on the earth. The main streets of Yangzhou City had already been under martial law, and there were elite guards along the roads.
The people in Yangzhou City also knew what was going to happen today, so they all came out early in the morning, behind the guards, preparing to watch Wang Jia leave the city, and wanted to be happy.
Outside the palace gate, the eunuchs and female officials were waiting.
Pei Ju, the Minister of Rites, was also outside the palace gate and was responsible for leading the emperor to the high platform for worshiping the sky.
Within the palace.
Da Qiao and several pretty palace maids are helping Wang Jing organize her crown clothes. Today is not only Wang Jing's big day, but also the most important day in her life.
Because from this day on, she was the queen of the new dynasty and the mother of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived!"
Before the grand ceremony was held, the eunuchs who came to remind him still addressed themselves as the king, and did not go beyond calling Wang Jing his majesty.
"Husband..."
Da Qiao quietly took a step back and said softly.
Wang Jing smiled, shook her hand, and walked out.
The crown he is wearing now is dark black. The black color is solemn and solemn. It has the ancient style of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. It has twelve crowns on it and a jade belt around his waist. A supreme aura emerged spontaneously.
After Wang Jing entered Yuhu.
The bells of Qingyue began to ring, and the sound vibrated in all directions.
"Get started!"
A doctor from the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly.
Accompanied by Huang Zhongda Lu's drum music, Yu Hu began to travel. The gates of the palace opened one after another, and Pei Ju, the Minister of Rites outside, happened to meet him.
"Long live……"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
On the streets of Yangzhou City, whether it was the energetic soldiers guarding them or the people who came to watch the excitement, the wealthy families from all walks of life in Yangzhou began to shout and kneel in worship.
Just like cutting wheat, Wang Jing's carriage passed by, and everyone knelt on the ground, no one dared to look up.
At this moment.
Wang Jing suddenly thought of how Liu Bang and Xiang Yu felt when they saw the First Emperor going on tour in history.
With power in hand, in a single thought, the fate of countless creatures can be changed. With a single word spoken, countless heroes can only bow their heads and obey.
This kind of pleasure is like an intoxicating poison that makes people reluctant to give up.
However, Wang Jing has experienced so much and is no longer the ordinary young man he was before. He quickly woke up from this intoxication.
At present, the world of China is in troubled times and fighting for hegemony.
Daxia has not yet defeated the powerful enemy and unified the south, so he cannot relax yet.
Yu Hu kept moving forward and soon left the city. Many common people and princes followed him from a distance. They walked for twenty miles before they saw a high platform.
On both sides of the high platform, there are Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang, Bu Zhi, Gao Xi, Xie Hui, Su Wei... The generals include Li Kaifang, Zhang Lin, Zhang Guiba, Shi Wansui, Yuwen Chengdu...
Civil servants and military generals, whether they are the Yuan Cong generals who have been unable to keep up with the strength and have gradually retreated to the second line, or the newly rising ninth-level civil and military officers, all stand here, as well as Zhang Juzheng, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Lu Xun and other talents who have just defected.
As well as Xiao Daocheng and Sun Quan standing in the front...
Wang Jing's eyes swept over these people's faces.
Some of these people were veterans who had defected to him in the first year of Taichu, as well as civil and military officials who he later conquered one by one, and some former opponents who were defeated by him during their rise and had to surrender.
No matter what their previous identities were, they all looked excited at this time.
Even those who are not excited pretend to be excited.
"It only takes five or six years to achieve great things. The speed of my rise and the time it takes to conquer other princes are very similar to Li Shimin's style of pacifying the princes in history!"
At this time, Wang Jing was naturally in a good mood. When he was about to offer sacrifices to heaven, he still had the thought to compare himself with his predecessor, Taizong Li Shimin.
When a country is founded and proclaimed an emperor, it is necessary to first offer sacrifices to heaven and then to earth, that is, to the God of Sheji. This is the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.
The height of the high platform is nine feet, nine feet and nine inches, which is the number of the supreme being.
The whole body is made of huge white boulders. Each of these boulders used to build the high platform weighs thousands of pounds. However, after the light body talisman was invented, the situation in history where hundreds of people were often killed or injured in order to carry the boulders is no longer the case. It may happen in the world of China.
It takes very little time to construct the elevated platform from start to finish.
The craftsmen in the Construction Department are all skilled in building palaces, gardens, and boats. As long as it is not a major event like building a palace, a project of a normal scale can be solved without any effort.
Wang Jing regained his composure.
Slowly walked along the steps towards the high platform. Behind him, two columns of civil and military personnel walked slowly along.
The breeze blows.
Wang Jing's clothes swayed slightly, his hanging beads collided lightly, and he soon arrived at the high platform. On the high platform, in addition to the wooden case, there was a bronze cauldron burning with flames.
Wang Jing held the memorial text written by Xie Lingyun himself.
"Prime Minister Wang Jing, Minister of Mountains and Rivers, reports to the heavens and the earth that today China is in chaos, the princes are fighting frequently, and the lives of the people are in danger... The sacred weapon of the country cannot be left empty for a long time. Therefore, although I have a weak virtue, I dare not disobey the destiny. I hold the peace. The world is determined to quell chaos in all directions, so the founding of the country is called Xia, and it is named Taichu..."
The memorial texts written by Xie Lingyun are full of allusions and are of great literary talent.
However, after Wang Jing read it, he asked him to rewrite a more understandable article.
Wang Jing's voice echoed in all directions.
After he finished reciting the sacrificial text, he stepped forward and sent the sacrificial text to the bronze cauldron. The flames were blazing, and the sacrificial text suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke in the firelight.
"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
The moment Wang Jing's voice stopped, the courtiers on both sides of the high platform knelt down and bowed with the highest etiquette.
