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 was 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 excitedly at the imperial city. Nian Xu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that such envoys were disrespectful to the country. He glanced at his daughter, Nian Ziyue, who was wearing a cannon, 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, which was to offer sacrifices to the late emperor.
King Qin had just walked out of the imperial city. Officials from the Ministry of Rites 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 could be less than dozens, but the King of Qin decided that the number of accompanying people would be one person at the Ancestral Temple. The two of them left the Chengtian Gate and walked towards the Ancestral Temple, one after the other.
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 some inexplicable insights came into his heart. He started alone in Weimo, fought and fought all the way, and got to where he is today. Why did he come? Yi Niang and Yang Lue followed. Behind them, the two of them watched King Qin walking calmly towards the Ancestral Temple, and their eyes couldn't help but heat up. King Qin walked to the Zhuque Gate, and outside was Zhuque Street.
He saw Nian Xu, the envoys from various countries, hundreds of 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...
That 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 rebellion and even wanted to escape this heavy burden.
When he saw Yan Cheng kneeling in front of the imperial city, knocking on the heavy door with his pale head, he was shocked. The hoarse shouts, the unyielding anger...
In the end, it turned into a stream of green blood. Who was he doing 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, survived in the face of crises, had his mentality broken down countless times, and healed himself countless times. All of this relied not on perseverance, but on goals.
I am alone in charge of this world! King Qin stopped. In front of him was the Ancestral Temple. "Your Highness." The official of the Ministry of Rites turned sideways.
This is the royal ancestral temple, which is empty at the moment. King Qin walked into 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 sacred tablet... the sacred masters of each tablet were a little vague in the incense.
The oldest of these gods is 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, the son of the emperor who respected the emperor, launched an army to fight against the rebellion and 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 emperors and gods, and finally... the emperor Xuande's god.
King Qin looked at the official and asked, "Where is Emperor Wu's divine master?" After Emperor Wu's death, the divine master 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 him!" King Qin said.
"Your Highness, a woman is the emperor..." the official said in a dilemma.
"Female chicken Si Chen?" King Qin pointed to the gods, "The rule of the world is not based on gender, but ability. Go and invite them." "Yes."
The officials did not dare to bear the burden and were ready to go out and ask the big bosses 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 trouble. "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 that he has established. 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 was the finishing touch. Without this battle, King Qin's rebellion would have been 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. But after Emperor Wu died, the god was moved out. According to the analysis of public opinion at the time, Li Yuan and his son wanted to fool Emperor Wu.
.
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 Your 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 just passed away, Li Yuan and his son pretended to be filial, and went against the wishes of the ministers and sent Emperor Wu's god to the Ancestral Temple. Then came the great purge, which made everyone in the ministers feel in danger, and Emperor Wu's god was in danger.
The incident gradually faded away.
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 be honest, it shouldn't be done. 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 that the god who is filial to the emperor should be moved to the Ancestral Temple. However..." The official glanced at the King of Qin and said, "The ministers have some objections to the move of the god Wuhuang into the Ancestral Temple."
"Is Emperor Wu not doing well?" 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 killed by Yang Songcheng and others. With this skill alone, Emperor Wu shamed those men. Tell them, men, don't betray your conscience for the sake of your own face. Go quickly!"
The officials trotted all the way, sweating profusely in the dead of winter, and relayed what King Qin had said. 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 one
A group of men couldn't accept it. They used official history, unofficial history, and various anthologies and poems to smear Emperor Wu. If Emperor Wu was really so unbearable, where would Li Mi's good life come from?
"Mr. Liu..."
Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Qing pointed to the already shining sun and sighed: "I want to ascend the throne!" If he continues to toss, will he 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! Is that okay?" Liu Qing said. Everyone was talking 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 of filial piety to the emperor from the Ancestral Temple Office. They quickly cleaned them and sent them to the Ancestral Temple. King Qin took over the god and placed them under Emperor Xuande's god himself.
He clapped his hands and said, "The family of three is reunited now. I don't know if 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 not.
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 from the Ministry of Rites said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to offer sacrifices to our ancestors."
According to the rules, King Qin should salute the ancestral god, and then recite the sacrificial inscription that the Ministry of Etiquette spent great effort to write. King Qin took a few steps back.
The official stood sideways, bowing his head slightly. The atmosphere was solemn.
King Qin moved the futon to one side, facing the Emperor Xiaoxing. The officials felt something was wrong...
King Qin knelt on the futon.
King Qin smiled and said: "Ah, when you had high hopes for an infant child, I think 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 and left.
"Your Highness, this is rude, God will punish you!" "We are not afraid of destiny!"
The King of Qin walked to the threshold. "But where are the ancestors?" You haven't offered sacrifices to the 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." King Qin walked out of the threshold.
