Before the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth were called Circular Qiu and Fangqiu respectively.
The sky is round and the place is round, and the circle means "round".
The emperor offered sacrifices to heaven on the circular hill and to the earth on the square hill.
However, in the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that the worship of heaven and earth should be combined, and all worship activities for heaven and earth should be held in Yuanqiu.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi saved the effort and simply offered sacrifices to the sky in the circle.
As the name suggests, the Circle Qiu is a round building with two floors, nine feet nine inches high, nine steps on each side, the platform and legs are made of glazed bricks, and it is surrounded by glazed railings.
"Your Majesty, we are here!" the eunuch said softly.
"Well!" A voice came from the nasal cavity, and Zhu Yixi was helped out of the carriage.
Although the thick crown robe was full of ceremony, it was not light. The crown on his head was like wearing a big watermelon, so he did not dare to move his head at all.
Under the circular hill, all the civil and military officials knelt down. They were also wearing sacrificial robes and kneeling in obedience.
Slowly, Zhu Yixi was helped up onto the circular hill, and Zhu Yixi instantly felt a surge of wind.
Just like before the time travel, he always seemed to be on the line on the crown. What if he collided with it?
Nowadays, these twelve strands slowly collide with each other with the speed of the wind, making a crisp sound. This feeling is more fragile than glass.
It's amazing, but also very annoying.
Cover your sight and interfere with your mind.
After slowly standing still, he breathed a sigh of relief. Being an emperor was difficult. Fortunately, it only happened once a year. Otherwise, who could bear it?
Taking out the memorial text, Zhu Yixi read it personally:
"Bingxu, the second year of Hongguang..."
"Zhu Yixi, the emperor and minister of the King of Yu who supervises the country, dares to declare to the emperor, heaven and queen, the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, thunder and rain, the spirits of the gods and earth: The power of heaven and earth is added to the four seas, the brightness of the sun and moon shines in all directions, and the thunder of clouds
With its power, all things are born, and with the kindness of rain and dew, all people admire it..."
"Now the slaves are going south, the emperor has been killed, the country has been turned upside down, the people have been massacred, and the rivers are sinking. In the Ming Dynasty, the sun and the moon are hanging upside down, and all the people are running around in the land of wild beasts.
The barbarians have no morals, the thieves have no virtue, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the people have no peace of mind..."
"I was born in Xi'an, started in Huguang, commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, saved all the people, restored me to Huguang, and then drove into the country, and sacrificed myself to the slave king, staining the mountains and rivers with blood..."
"Fortunately, thanks to God's blessing and the virtue of my ancestors, I was lucky enough to be restored to the capital and to protect the Xiaoling Mausoleum..."
"Because the Ming Dynasty has no master and is favored by all the people, I inherit the foundation of my ancestors, that is, the position of emperor, and serve as an official of heaven to govern all people.
Now we have changed the Yuan Dynasty to Shaowu, relying on Mingwei to drive out the Jian slaves and restore China to China.
To unify the country and the mountains, all people will be named Xianning.
Take a bath with piety, pray with one heart, pray for praise, and be blessed forever.
Shang Xiang!"
(Adapted from Zhu Yuanzhang’s Astronomical Sacrifice in the First Year of Hongwu, I’m exhausted)
"Long live--"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials below the Temple of Heaven shouted loudly with joy from the bottom of their hearts.
But above the Temple of Heaven, the wind seemed to be stronger because of the sound waves, and the impact of the lines became more severe.
Zhu Yixi was filled with emotions for a moment.
Perhaps it was because his ancestors had spirits in heaven, or perhaps the people of the world had their hearts set on him. In short, he felt that he was being sublimated by being here together.
The goal of the first stage, to proclaim himself emperor, has been achieved.
What follows is the mid-term goal: the unification of Hunyuan.
Annihilate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, capture Li Zicheng, Sun Kewang and others, and stabilize the world again.
Thus, he can control the grasslands, march to the plateau, and then regain the Western Regions to complete the true Akiba Begonia.
For a time, all the passion and ambition accumulated in his chest, and it seemed that nothing could be done to fill it.
The different status made him look at the problem from a different perspective.
Survive, protect yourself, be strong, and invincible.
The military-first policy has been implemented for four years. Even if adjustments were made later, the priority of the military has not been removed.
Now, it's time for a complete change.
After all, military is only a part of governance; politics, economy, taxation, commerce and other aspects should not be underestimated.
There is a lot of preparation for offering sacrifices to heaven, but it is over after just one session.
However, Zhu Yixi could not live in peace yet, he had to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple.
The ancestors and clans paid their respects and gave Emperor Hongguang a temple title.
For example, Chongzhen, his temple name was regarded as Sizong by Hong Guangzhui.
As the name suggests, regretting past mistakes is called Si, and making plans without further thinking is called Si.
This is a lower-middle-class temple name.
In this regard, Zhu Yixi is not ready to change it for the time being.
He couldn't wait to add a temple title to the captured Emperor Hongguang.
Although I don't know whether he is alive or dead, just treat him as dead and never be used.
All in all, Zhu Yixi thought for a moment and then took out the temple name drafted by the ministers: Anzong.
Good harmony and non-controversy are called peace; tolerance and peace are called peace; abundance and peace are called peace...
How should I put it? It’s clear praise but actually blame.
Love peace in a troubled world, tsk tsk.
As for the matter of pursuing the third generation, Zhu Yixi did not delay.
Since this has already been done when conferring the title of king, you only need to add another emperor title, so there is no need for such trouble.
However, because he is not like Emperor Hongguang, he is a brother.
That is, Emperor Hongguang believed that Guangzong was his father, Xizong, and Chongzhen were his brothers and would inherit the throne.
And he belongs to the offside inheritance. According to his seniority, he is the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen. He is of the same generation as Guangzong, and they all inherit the throne but not the sacrifice.
In other words, he is inheriting the throne, but the patriarchal clan does not recognize his father.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi built a separate temple to worship his own branch.
But what is special is that he belongs to a branch of the Qin king, so the previous generations of Qin kings also had to sacrifice together, and then moved it to the attached temple from generation to generation.
After finishing his work, the emperor came to the main hall panting.
After not eating or drinking for a day, he felt like he was going to collapse.
"Everything is done, please assume the throne as emperor!"
Zhu Yixi walked up slowly. The throne in the middle was extremely spacious, more than enough for three people.
After taking a breath, he sat in the middle, and the hall fell silent.
In an instant, the music changed, and the ceremony officer shouted: "All officials salute |"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
All the officials kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
Zhu Yixi sat on the imperial throne, filled with emotions in her heart. She looked at everyone and then said slowly: "I wish you all to be equal!"
"I thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Therefore, this can be regarded as the official establishment of the status of monarch and minister.
Zhao Shu, Zhang Shenyan, Yan Chongxin, Feng Xianzong, Wang Yingxiong and other five people were obviously recognized as the leaders of the group of officials before they occupied the group.
As for the civil and military officials, there were only a few dozen people standing in the hall, while the rest were kneeling on the steps.
All of this, the eunuchs spread the message one after another, spreading throughout the entire imperial city in an instant.
Singing one after another, the emperor's majesty is constantly exported.
If this were the era of cultivating immortals, I am afraid that the purple energy would continue and the dragon shape would appear!
"I, the widow, am ascending to the throne today. Fortunately, I am blessed by God's kindness and the blessing of my ancestors. However, it is difficult to support a single tree. If there is no support from the ministers, how can we regain the capital?"
