Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Chang'an was almost deserted. Nian Xu didn't want to come out to join in the fun, but the Ministry of Rites asked his whole family to come to watch the ceremony.
Moreover, it is in the imperial city.
They were standing outside the imperial city at the moment, with a crowd of people behind them.
Standing on the other side were envoys from various countries. They were said to be from various countries, but they were just small countries. Nian Xu even recognized one of them and had just come to Bianjing to see him the year before last.
At this moment, the envoy looked at the imperial city excitedly. Nian Xu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that such envoys had lost the dignity of the country.
He glanced at his daughter, Nian Ziyue wearing a robe, and looked at the scene in the imperial city with some curiosity.
The burly sergeants stood upright, like street trees, extending inward along the city gate.
Nian Xu whispered: "We have to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices first."
The enthronement ceremonies of the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty were roughly the same. Nian Xu had gone through them all before and his memory was still fresh. However, he had one more ceremony than King Qin, and that was to offer sacrifices to the late emperor.
King Qin had just walked out of the imperial city at this moment.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were waiting outside.
"Your Highness, please follow me."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites bowed slightly and walked in front of King Qin.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Rites, the number of accompanying officials should be less than dozens, but the King of Qin decided to limit the number of accompanying officials to one person here at the Ancestral Temple.
The two of them walked out of Chengtian Gate and walked towards the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
On the left is Menxia Province, on the right is Zhongshu Province, and beyond that is Youwuwei...
King Qin walked slowly, looking at the officials on both sides, and suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
I started alone at the end of my life, fought and fought all the way, and got to where I am today. Why did I come here?
Yi Niang and Yang Lue followed behind. They watched King Qin walking calmly towards the Ancestral Temple, and their eyes couldn't help but heat up.
King Qin walked to Zhuque Gate, and outside was Zhuque Street.
He saw Nian Xu, the envoys from various countries, officials, and countless people.
He wanted to wave his hand, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he nodded slightly.
What are these people expecting?
King Qin turned left and turned from the side of Taichang Temple to the Taimiao Temple.
Those burning eyes must be full of expectations for the future.
And the only thing that can bring them a better future is loneliness!
King Qin thought of Yuanzhou and Xiaohe Village...
The carefree child was running in the fields and jumping in the river...happy and carefree.
He thought of Chang'an.
I thought of Yan Cheng.
At that time, he was somewhat resistant to the so-called, and even wanted to escape this heavy burden.
When he saw Yan Cheng kneeling in front of the imperial city, knocking on the heavy gate with his pale head, he was shocked.
That hoarse cry, the unyielding anger...
Finally it turned into a cavity of blue blood.
Who is he for?
For the world!
For the common people!
That night, he took the history book presented by the old man and opened the first page with trembling hands...
From then on, the world entered his heart.
He struggled to support himself in northern Xinjiang, surviving in the face of crises, having his mentality broken down countless times, and healing himself countless times.
All this depends not on perseverance, but on goals.
You alone are in charge of this world!
King Qin stopped.
In front of you is the Ancestral Temple.
"Your Highness."
Officials from the Ministry of Rites turned sideways.
This is the royal ancestral temple, and it is empty at the moment.
King Qin entered the Ancestral Temple.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites took him into the main hall.
After Emperor Gaozu ruled the world, he consecrated three generations of emperors to his father and ancestors. King Qin looked down from the first piece of the divine master...the divine masters of each piece of tablets were a little vague in the incense.
The earliest of these gods are hundreds of years old, and the fine wood also shows the vicissitudes of time.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to read the article that more than ten learned people had spent half a month writing.
The main idea of the article is that the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, and Li Xuan, a son who respected the emperor, raised an army to restore the country. Today Li Xuan ascended the throne and came here to pay tribute to his ancestors.
King Qin's eyes passed over the pieces of emperors and gods, and finally...
Finally, there is the divine master of Emperor Xuande.
It's empty down there.
King Qin looked at the official, "Where is Emperor Wu's divine master?"
After the death of Emperor Wu, the Lord God entered the Ancestral Temple.
The official said awkwardly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty... No, not long after the false emperor Li Mi ascended the throne, he removed Emperor Wu's divine master..."
"Go and invite me!" King Qin said.
"Your Highness, a woman is the emperor..." the official said in embarrassment.
"Female Chicken Si Chen?" King Qin pointed to the divine masters, "The rule of the world is not based on gender, but on ability. Go and invite them."
"yes."
The officials did not dare to bear the burden and were ready to go out and ask the elders for instructions.
"Wait a minute!" King Qin stopped him, "Where is the god who respects the emperor?"
"Your Highness, that is a posthumous gift." The official wanted to cry... God, today is the day you ascend the throne! Can we not make things worse?
"Go and invite me!"
"yes!"
The official hurried out and trotted to ask Liu Qing and others for instructions.
"Emperor Wu and Emperor Filial Piety?" Liu Qing stroked his beard, "Although it is a posthumous gift, it is not an exaggeration to say that His Highness is the founding emperor of the country. Do you think so?"
Everyone nodded as they thought about King Qin's many obstacles along the way.
The King of Qin started from Northern Xinjiang and fought all the way. It can be said that he stepped on corpses into Chang'an. Especially the battle to destroy Shi Zhongtang can be said to be the finishing touch.
Without this battle, King Qin would have had a civil war.
After this battle, King Qin became the upright leader of ZTE and the hero of the Tang Dynasty.
After Emperor Wu abdicated and Li Yuan ascended the throne, he sent the god who was filial to the emperor to the Ancestral Temple. After the death of Emperor Wu, the god was moved out. According to the analysis of public opinion at the time, Li Yuan and his son's move was to engage in martial arts.
Emperor.
But after Li Mi launched a palace coup and ascended the throne, he sent his uncle's god master in again. It was not until King Qin revealed his identity in northern Xinjiang that he moved out again.
"The founding emperor can consecrate three generations of his ancestors as emperors. In this way, I think there is nothing wrong with His Highness moving the god who is filial to the emperor into the Ancestral Temple. What do you think?"
"I have no objection!"
The official breathed a sigh of relief, "What about Emperor Wu?"
Emperor Wu’s matter is more complicated.
If you want to say that Emperor Wu is a foolish king, you are acting against your conscience.
But this is an era where men are superior to women. It is unacceptable for men to have a woman become an emperor and control a group of gentlemen.
When Emperor Wu died, Li Yuan and his son pretended to be filial and went against the wishes of the officials and sent Emperor Wu's god-master to the Ancestral Temple.
Then came the great purge, which made everyone in the ministers feel in danger, and the incident of Emperor Wu's divine master gradually disappeared.
After Li Mi launched a palace coup and succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to clean up. Then he moved Emperor Wu's god master out of the Ancestral Temple. At that time, this move won the unanimous approval of all the officials in the court.
Luo Cai said in a low voice: "How could His Highness think of moving Emperor Wu's god into it? To put it bluntly, what happened to Emperor Xiao Jing was also related to Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu. Logically speaking, His Highness could just go with the flow. Why bother?
This is!"
In everyone's opinion, the relationship between King Qin and the royal family was not close. Instead, because of his father's filial piety to the emperor, he should be somewhat dissatisfied with the royal family, including his grandparents.
In this way, King Qin should be secretly happy that Emperor Wu's divine master does not enter the Ancestral Temple!
"Ask?" Han Ji said.
"That's fine."
The officials from the Ministry of Rites trotted back.
"Your Highness, the ministers agree to move the god who is filial to the emperor to the Ancestral Temple. However..." the official glanced at King Qin, "the ministers have some... objections to the move of the god Wuhuang to the Ancestral Temple."
"Is Emperor Wu doing a bad job?" King Qin looked at the gods, "The Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years and has dozens of emperors. How many people can match Emperor Wu? If Emperor Wu had not launched the imperial examination and attacked the powerful families, the Tang Dynasty might have
Before he could raise an army alone, he was destroyed by Yang Songcheng and others. With this feat alone, Emperor Wu shamed those men. Tell them, men, don't betray your conscience for the sake of your own face. Go quickly!"
The official trotted all the way, sweating profusely in the dead of winter, and relayed the words of King Qin.
A group of officials blushed upon hearing this.
If you want to say that Emperor Wu did anything that would make people angry, then he really didn't.
It was the female chicken Si Chen that King Qin called him, and his performance was no worse than that of men, even better.
So a group of men couldn't accept it, and used official history, unofficial history, and various anthologies and poems to discredit Emperor Wu.
If Emperor Wu was really in such a bad state, where would Li Mi's good life come from?
"Mr. Liu..."
Liu Qing faced everyone's gaze, pointed to the already shining sun, and sighed: "I want to ascend the throne!"
If we continue to toss, will we have to wait until night to ascend the throne?
Only then did everyone realize that it was getting late.
This was intentional... He Lianrong's eyes were bright and he whispered to Han Ji: "Your Highness dug a hole and buried all the ministers."
"You and I are among them!" Han Ji sighed.
"Everyone, let's do this for now! Okay?" Liu Qing said.
Everyone talked about it and finally compromised.
The official breathed a sigh of relief and trotted back again.
Then, the officials of the Ministry of Rites found Emperor Wu and the god who respected the emperor from the Ancestral Temple Office, quickly cleaned them and sent them to the Ancestral Temple.
King Qin took over the god master and placed it under Emperor Xuande's god master himself.
He clapped his hands and said: "The family of three is reunited now. I don't know whether Aweng and grandma like it or not. But I think Aye is happy."
After the death of Emperor Xuande, Emperor Wu took control of the court until he later ascended the throne. During this period, there were some scandals, and the King of Qin did not know whether they were true or false.
The so-called deep love between husband and wife requires them to grow old together. One party left early, and the other party couldn't stand the loneliness, so they found a partner. In this way, the vow of eternal love back then became a joke.
However, considering that Emperor Xuande had many women, King Qin felt that this couple had what they wanted.
Zhuque's view on this is: The so-called husband and wife are just that life is too difficult and one person can't live it alone, so he finds a partner for himself and goes on together.
King Qin's eyes slowly looked down from Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Wu...honor the emperor.
The official of the Ministry of Rites said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to offer sacrifices to our ancestors."
According to the rules, the King of Qin should salute the ancestral god, and then recite the sacrificial inscriptions written by the Ministry of Etiquette with great effort.
King Qin took a few steps back.
The official stood sideways and bowed his head slightly.
The atmosphere is solemn.
King Qin moved the futon aside and faced the Emperor Xiaoxing.
The officials felt something was wrong...
King Qin knelt on the futon.
King Qin smiled and said: "Aye, back then you had high hopes for an infant child. In my opinion, it was a kind of sadness and unwillingness that your ambition was not fulfilled. I am here today because I want to tell you about your ambition.
, I will make it happen!”
He stood up and said, "Aye, please keep an eye on this journey and see where the Tang Dynasty will go in my hands!"
King Qin turned around and left.
"Your Highness, this is disrespectful and God will punish you!"
"Destiny is not something to be afraid of!"
King Qin walked to the threshold.
"But where are the ancestors!"
You haven't paid homage to your ancestors yet!
"The ancestors are not worthy of the law!"
The official felt a roar in his ears and said in panic: "Public opinion outside will be boiling."
