189. Chapter 189 Enthronement Ceremony(2/2)
Today, the Tang State is already full of talents, and there is actually no shortage of talents in all walks of life, especially local county offices and county offices, which many people are trying to get into.
Just by relying on university towns, the Tang Dynasty attracted millions of high-quality talents to settle there.
………
Time flies and comes to June 11th.
Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. Chang'an City has already become nervous. The preparations for various ceremonies are nearing completion and the final rehearsals are underway.
The entire city was flooded with noble gold and festive red.
Groups of guards patrolled the main streets.
Especially Suzaku Street, which has been cleared out a day in advance, so no one can get close to it.
Every landmark building in the city is also decorated with lights.
The people, merchants, and schools in the city all took action spontaneously to decorate their respective sites with great joy.
As for Miyagi City, the main venue of the enthronement ceremony, it is even more grand. Every street has been covered with red carpets and decorated with flowers into various auspicious patterns.
There is a guard standing guard every one meter.
The three thousand Jinwu Guards shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace.
The atmosphere of the entire palace seemed solemn and solemn, with no room for any childishness. Officials who came and went subconsciously kept their faces grim and did not dare to talk loudly.
The plaque of the Lord's Palace has been taken down and replaced by the plaque of "Suzaku Palace".
A viewing platform was set up in the square in front of the Zhuque Palace, which was prepared for the military parade of the coronation ceremony.
The Imperial Guards Corps, the Guards Corps, the City Guards Corps, the Tiance Corps, the Longxiang Corps, the Fengxiang Corps, the Flying Bear Corps, and the newly formed Huben Corps, Leopard Tao Corps, Yingyang Corps, and Shence Corps.
Each camp will send its most elite battalion to participate in the military parade.
Since he was only promoted to a principality and there were no outsiders to watch the ceremony, he didn't engage in such a big battle.
Just make the point.
At this time, all the troops participating in the military parade have arrived in Chang'an City in advance to assemble and are practicing day and night in preparation for tomorrow's military parade.
…………
Yesterday, Tang Jing had sent two ministers, Xiao He and Xun Yu, to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple and comfort the Tang Emperor, indicating that Chang'an City would inherit the Tang Dynasty and open up a new dynasty in the wilderness.
Today we will formally offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple again.
The sky is dimming, purple light is beginning to appear in the eastern sky, and the slightly dim moon is still hanging high in the sky.
God cooperated, and it was a sunny day again.
Outside the gate of Zhuque Palace, Xu Chu led a row of guards, and Shangguan Wan'er led a group of female officials, all waiting. The aroma rising from the incense burner in front of the palace filled the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"
Shangguan Wan'er shouted loudly, and as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of silk and bamboo began to sound.
In the Zhuque Hall, Tang Jing, served by a female official, bathed in incense and refrained from eating or drinking early in the morning. After hearing the shouts, he immediately walked out of the hall.
But when I saw him wearing a scarlet crown, a crown and a ribbon tied around his chin, his ears were drooped, he was graceful and elegant, he stepped down the steps and entered the imperial carriage, so he closed his eyes and remained in the imperial carriage without saying a word.
In the Tang Dynasty, the red bird was regarded as the sacred animal that protects the country and belongs to the virtue of fire.
"clang!"
The sound of the big bell resounded through the sky, and the ceremonial officer shouted: "Get off!"
With the sound of yellow bells, harmonies of harps, and bronze bells and chimes, the entire imperial palace was steadily raised, and the nine-layered red doors were opened one after another. As soon as I left the palace gate, I was greeted by the sound of a thousand years old, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
"My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Surrounded by the ceremonial guards, everyone came out of the palace city, and everyone on the streets, whether common people or officials, wise, foolish, old or young, willing or unwilling, put flowers and incense tables in front of their doors.
The whole family, young and old, came out. When they saw the imperial chariot coming from a distance, they all danced and knelt down to worship the emperor.
Tang Jing sat still and saw no matter whether they were white-haired old men or young children, kneeling to the left and right, shouting three thousand years old. With such power, it is no wonder that many famous people in ancient and modern times have devoted their whole lives for a throne.
Tang Jing looked down, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In less than half a year, he completed the transition from a commoner to an emperor.
When he ascends the throne, he first offers sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven and then to the Temple of Earth, among which the Temple of Heaven is the most important.
The Temple of Heaven is nine feet tall, with loess below and white marble above. It looks as smooth as a mirror, while hundreds of civil and military officials are arranged on both sides according to their official titles, bowing to greet him.
When the chariot fell to the ground, Tang Jing came out with his hands behind his back. Immediately all the officials knelt on the ground.
Tang Jing walked up slowly, the wind blew the crown clothes, and the crowns struck each other, clear and loud.
Stand still on the stage and read the memorial in person.
"The emperor and the empress of the land, who have been given orders by the Tao, did not dare to accept them. They are now in the wilderness. They are called sacred weapons. They cannot be idle for a long time. A new tradition must be established. Therefore, although I have poor virtues, I dare not go against the orders of heaven. I established the Tang Dynasty in the world and established the Yuan Shenwu.
, to sue God!”
The naming of the year as Shenwu shows the ambition to open up the eight wastelands and dominate the world.
As soon as these words fell.
Here it is: "A thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
………
After offering sacrifices to heaven, one has to offer sacrifices to the altar of earth, and then enter the Sheji and ancestral temples.
As soon as the sacrifice was completed, Tang Jing took the imperial carriage again and entered the main hall.
All the ministers and officials knelt down and said: "The ceremony has been completed, please assume the throne!"
Tang Jing walked up slowly. The throne in the middle had been replaced by a throne. It was much wider and taller. It was more than enough for three people. Sitting in the middle, the hall became silent.
The sound of the music changed, and the ceremony officer shouted: "All officials salute!"
"A thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
All the officials kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
Tang Jing was sitting on the throne. When he came back to his senses, he had already ascended the throne as king and said, "Pingsheng!"
"I thank you!"
"I have ascended the throne today. I will sweep across the wilderness and unify the country. All ministers will serve respectfully and follow me in the wilderness to overcome thorns and thorns, bringing the Tang Dynasty to its peak. I and the court will not hesitate to receive official and salary gifts!"
The officials once again bowed their heads to the mountain and shouted: "A thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Tang Jing was in a calm mood, and threw out the appointment of court ministers that had been planned long ago, and said: "When a few people ascend the throne, hundreds of officials cannot be vacant. Why should Jin Xiao be the prime minister? I admire this!"
"Thank you for your kindness. My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Xiao He came out to express gratitude.
Tang Jing went on to appoint officials, "promoting the General Administration of Administration to the Executive Yuan, the Internal Affairs Administration to the Internal Affairs Yuan, the General Finance Administration to the Finance Yuan, and the Military Affairs General Administration to the Privy Council. Jin Xunyu was the Minister of Administration, Wei Yang was the Minister of the Interior, and Xia Yuanji
Du Ruhui is the Minister of Finance, and Du Ruhui is the Minister of Military Affairs. These four ministers should be the leaders of all ministers."
"Thank you for your kindness. My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Xun Yu, Wei Yang, Xia Yuanji and Du Ruhui followed and bowed to express their gratitude.
besides.
The newly arrived Li Jing was appointed as General Wei, and together with Bai Qi, he was ranked among the three generals.
Hu Zongxian.
He was appointed as Vice Minister of the Executive Yuan to assist Xun Yu, the Minister of Administration.
At this point.
The new dynasty is established and the new king's enthronement ceremony is completed.
"My lords, now that the ceremony has been completed, it is time to conduct the military parade and disperse the court!"
The sky was beautiful, the sun was shining brightly, and we rode all the way through the Nine Gates. We saw cloudless blue sky, a bright sun shining down, and the palace was bathed in a brilliant auspicious light.
Lean slightly.
On the viewing platform in front of Zhuque Palace, all civil and military officials were already in place.
When Tang Jing stepped down from the imperial chariot, he was greeted by the sound of thousands of years old, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
"My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
When Tang Jing sat down in the middle of the viewing platform, Du Ruhui, the Minister of Military Affairs who was presiding over the military parade, immediately stood up and said loudly: "The military parade begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bells and drums rang together, and what was played was military music.
Accompanied by the sound of military music and the beating of drums, the phalanx formations for review filed in one after another. At the front was the armor-breaking battalion led by Shirakawa, deputy commander of the Guards Corps.
The military parade ended at just noon.
Tang Jing personally hosted a banquet for civil and military officials in the main hall of Zhuque Palace, and the guests enjoyed themselves.
Chapter completed!
