Chapter 487 Enthronement Ceremony

In just over ten days, the mission in Jinyang came to the Jinyang army and they came into contact with many new things and communicated with each other. However, everyone was confused about the situation in the throne ceremony.

It is said that it is not in the city, but outside the city. The area is controlled by military forces and idle people cannot wait to get close to it.

There is a palace in Jinyang, which has been repaired during this period. It is no problem as an open palace, but it is still a bit shabby as a palace where you can work. Liu Tao simply regards the palace as an office place, and now his house is the place to live.

This is definitely not up to the right courtesy, but as for the current situation in the palace, everyone can only give it a try first.

This is the case for palaces, let alone the squares needed to hold military parades. There is no suitable place at all, and it is not easy to demolish and build them randomly. They can only choose to do it outside the city. Otherwise, there is no need to hold the throne ceremony after the New Year.

In fact, Xun Yu was still opposed at the beginning. The temporary venue was not solemn enough, and it also made the ceremony appear simple. There is no need to do it so deliberately for the so-called military parade ceremony, and it wasted manpower and financial resources.

"Don't always talk about etiquette and law!" Liu Tao finally retorted, "This time, those who came to attend the ceremony have our friends, but there are also more enemies who covet our lives. There is no way to talk about etiquette and law with the enemy. Only by showing our force can our enemies feel afraid and then correct their attitude towards getting along with us!"

In fact, he really wants to complain. The manpower and financial resources he consumes are what Xun Yu cares about the most, right?

"It's just that if they are too afraid of us, they will probably join forces and join forces." Xun Yu said bitterly. The pre-Qin period was too strong, so that the six countries had to jointly attack many times.

"We are not pre-Qin, a group of elm-woods, and do not know how to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times. Besides, the current situation in China is different from the period when the seven countries are in harmony. The experience of pre-Qin can only be used as a reference, not as a law." Liu Tao reminded.

Nowadays, many of the vassal kings are supported by the people below. In this case, those who can wait will wait for these kings to become emperors, and then abdicate and make themselves more legitimate. Those who can't wait will usurp the throne directly, establish a new regime, and then recover those disobedient ministers.

Simply put, in the next few years, the states on his side will probably be in chaos. This will give him enough time to recuperate, and even take the opportunity to defeat Yizhou.

"We not only want to intimidate the vassal kings outside..." Liu Tao then explained patiently, "Generally speaking, if you only occupy the three states, you will be called emperor. The people will be somewhat worried, just as you will be worried that they will unite to attack us."

Although most people are only concerned about whether they can survive "today", with the popularity of night schools and colleges, more and more people are beginning to care about current affairs and politics.

After all, I have thought that one day I might become an official, and a wealthy and stable working environment is very important.

He paused and continued to explain: "We need to show our army and tell them that we have the ability to protect them and allow us to live and work in a safe and stable environment. As long as our soldiers are not killed, it will never be their turn to go to the battlefield!"

"So that's it, the military parade has such significance..." Xun Yu never thought about this. Perhaps just like many scholars, he would not care too much about the mood of the people.

Generally speaking, as long as the politics is clear and there are no major disasters and harms, the people will be content with their duties and do whatever they want. They will work hard for survival and do not need to worry about those in power.

Therefore, in the education of scholars, there may be no regard for how to take care of the people's mood or understand their needs. In terms of "state-level ministers", the shepherd guards the country, that is, the emperor is the employer, they are the herdsmen, and the people in the world are all cattle and sheep they manage.

I don’t know if this is indirectly reflecting that officials in the feudal era really did not treat ordinary people as human beings.

After all, it is normal for buyers and sellers to force bankrupt people to sell their bodies, or even wantonly kill servants and servants, etc. People can be human, but people who sign the contract to sell their bodies are not human, so some people suddenly become human overnight...

If you think about it carefully, the title of "people" was originally a scholar-official class, and ordinary people did not even have a surname. In terms of the pre-Qin period, ordinary people without titles were not ordinary people and were called Qianshou.

Liu Tao could not change this situation immediately, but he could subtly promote this concept. There are also side effects, that is, if the people below are smart, then they will begin to have requirements, no longer sticking to "living in the present" and starting to "look forward to the future".

But the ambitious people don’t hate them. They just draw a bigger cake, give them more hope, and let them chase this hope...

Xun Yu was convinced by him and naturally arranged the throne ceremony obediently. During this period, Lu Zhi and others also came over, mainly asking about the throne affairs. They were all qualified to check it, but after the inspection, they all felt that the scale was a bit simple.

After that, it was inevitable that they would accept the result after another persuasion.

The older generation always feels that they must be in line with etiquette, otherwise it will not be orthodox enough. In addition, the etiquette is insufficient, and they will probably be ridiculed by others. It would be fine if they are not here, but they cannot handle this problem well here and they will lose face.

However, for Liu Tao, the simple one is better. He has seen a complete set of etiquette and law. If he really wants to do it, it will probably not be enough for most of the day. It is much more troublesome than when he was newly married and became a groom.

Finally, he removed some ritual things, then left the necessary things, and deleted the time to an hour, almost compressing it to the limit, which was not surprisingly controversial.

"The throne ceremony begins~~~~~~~~" Seeing that the ceremony came, everyone came to the venue. For some reason, a large open space was surrounded, at least one mile.

Fortunately, the city wall is open, and people can climb up to the city wall to watch, and from there you can see the ceremony scene.

At the same time, some high platforms were prepared, allowing more people to be watched close to the scene. Even so, hundreds of thousands of people came over, and the scene was still very spectacular.

After the emcee announced, Liu Tao, wearing a dragon robe and riding a horse, began to appear under the escort of the Jinyiwei in the city gate.

The Jinyiwei divided into five hundred horse soldiers and one thousand infans, and walked out slowly. They were wearing flying fish robes and embroidered spring swords. The cavalry even had strong bows on their waists and looked majestic!

"Not the Yulin Army?" Many people, especially the envoys, quickly saw the clues.

"This is a personal army formed by Liu Tao, called the Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to the Yulin Army... Depending on the situation, the Yulin Army may be abolished." Someone probably knew some news, so he whispered.

"But this Jinyiwei is not much inferior to the Yulinwei!" Another envoy beside him sighed.

"This personal army is indeed very powerful. Look at those cavalrymen, they are all archers!" the companion next to him reminded.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Tao came to the prepared altar. At this moment, he had not put on his crown. Obviously, he would only be "crowned as emperor" and ascended the throne as emperor after completing the ceremony.

The original throne ceremony was held one month after the death of the late emperor, and the new emperor was held at a good time. Strictly speaking, the prince automatically became the new emperor when the death of the late emperor. The throne ceremony only made everything orthodox.

However, now that the late Emperor of the Han Dynasty has passed away, it seems that it is almost a year, but the two princes have died soon. The Ling Emperor's line has no heir to inherit, which is also the beginning of the turmoil.

At present, nine Han clans in the world have been called kings. Liu Tao has not been called kings before. Everyone thinks he will do that soon. Who knows that this guy skips this step and directly calls himself emperor...

For a moment, he didn't react, so he couldn't respond, so he could only watch him hold the ceremony silently.

But this is nothing, it doesn’t matter if you become an emperor. It’s also said that you can be the emperor. You can be the emperor, but we can also not recognize your throne. As for sending an envoy, we just come here to see if it is accepted or not, we still have the final say!

At this moment, Lu Zhi, who played the guest role in Taichang, came forward and took out the tribute and handed it to Liu Tao.

The chanting and burning of sacrifices was mainly to announce to the ancestors and the gods that they would be crowned emperor. I pray for the recognition of the ancestors and the ancestors, and I hope that they can bless this regime as before.

This thing is not superstitious, it can only be said to be a kind of faith, just like we will worship our ancestors, it is not a superstitious activity, but a continuation of our ancestors' beliefs. Just like we will worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Nuwa, Houtu, etc.

At the same time, this is also to highlight filial piety. In fact, worshiping ancestors is more for future generations to see. After their ancestors die, they should still respect and commemorate them. What about the parents who are still alive? In this way, the next generation who has been influenced by this since childhood will naturally have a more intuitive understanding of filial piety.

I am not filial, but I ask my children to be filial to myself unconditionally... Isn’t there any reason for my children’s unfilial piety? After all, parents are their children’s first teachers!

Liu Tao knew this, so he didn't dislike these things. He just prayed silently and then put the tribute in the brazier to burn it.

There are no strange phenomena in the sky. In fact, all the strange phenomena exist in historical books. Whether it is really not important. Perhaps several years later, in the history books recorded by later generations, he registered on this day, and there were nine dragons worshiping each other, colorful auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and the music of immortals sounded...

The messenger sent by the Nine Kings was naturally the Nine Dragons worshipping. As for the clouds, it is hard to say whether they are colorful. White and gray are two colors, and at most black is added. He doesn’t know which two colors are there. It’s not surprising that there are musicians playing music on the fairy music scene, right?!

Yes, the truth of history may be so deceiving.

After a ceremony, including the admonition of Zong Zheng (Liu Yuanqi), he personally put a crown on Liu Tao. Since then, Liu Tao has been officially crowned as emperor and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Please give me a jade seal!" Many people thought this simplified hall was about to end, but they didn't expect that the emcee shouted at this time.

A waiter took out a brocade box and opened it in front of Liu Tao. The latter reached out and took out a piece of jade, and raised it high: "By chance, I (will change my name) got this imperial seal. Today, the throne ceremony will be officially made public!"
