Chapter 38 Enthronement Ceremony

February 2nd!

The whole Bianjing was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

With the stability of the Central Plains for ten years, Bianjing has become a water and land hub, and the people in the city have benefited a lot. Their lives have become increasingly prosperous, and most people have more than enough money.

In this feudal era, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the emperor is the greatest.

It is a celebration that belongs to the emperor, but the people are more excited than celebrating the festival themselves.

Put on new clothes and lead your family on the street to add to the joy.

Luo Youdu put on the royal robe of Xuanyi and Haoshang early under the service of the female officials.

In fact, the crown clothes worn by ancient sacrifices were not mainly dragons, but the sun, moon, stars, rivers, mountains, rivers and earth, with dragons being only a small part.

The ancients attached great importance to the enthronement ceremony, and Qin Tianjian made the right time and timing as accurate as possible in this era.

The first step in this enthronement ceremony is to pay tribute to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple.

Worshiping the ancestral temple is something that almost all emperors must do before doing important things.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already arranged everything. All Luo Youdu had to do was follow the procedures.

Looking at the ancestral tablets one by one, even Luo Youdu didn't know what his grandfather's name was.

However, Zongzheng Temple found out everything, including his great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather and even his great-great-grandfather. It was really impressive.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, it does no harm to them who have already been buried. They have become nothing but dust, and they can still bear the title of an emperor.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, amid the sound of bells and drums, Luo Youdu climbed to Xuande Gate, the highest point in Kaifeng Imperial City, greeted the first ray of sunshine, and began to pray to God.

Chinese people have always been particular about worshiping multiple gods, and Luo Youdu was no exception.

In his early years, he was an atheist, but later he traveled through time and became a little afraid of it.

Therefore, ancestor Hongjun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Donghua Emperor, Sakyamuni, and even Jesus who had not yet been introduced to the Central Plains prayed all over.

Extremely pious.

While Luo Youdu was praying, the civil servants and generals of the Manchu Dynasty had already begun to enter the palace. Under the guidance of officials from Honglu Temple, they entered the palace from the Zuoye Gate and entered the Daqing Palace. They stood on both sides of the royal road in front of the Daqing Palace.

After Luo Youdu worshiped all the gods he remembered, he also appeared in front of Daqing Hall.

On the left and right sides, civil and military officials bowed and bowed.

Luo Youdu rode a cloud cart and passed slowly between the two civil and military officials. He was carried up the carved dragon slope step by step and entered the Daqing Hall.

After all the civil and military officials were seated in Luo Youdu, they entered in order according to their official positions and accepted the audience of the officials.

At this point, the formal ceremony of enthronement has almost been completed.

There is only one final step left, which is to request the issuance of the imperial edict.

Because the common enthronement ceremony in this era was to enthrone in front of the soul, and the enthronement and enthronement ceremony were held at the same time, so the process was relatively simple.

It was only after the Ming Dynasty that it became popular to ascend the throne first and then choose a good and auspicious day to ascend the throne.

The situation here in Luoyoudu is special and some improvements need to be made.

After receiving the civil and military worship, two additional links were added.

They were to receive envoys from various countries and conduct a military parade in front of the Daqing Palace.

Luo Youdu's purpose was very simple. One was to show off the strength of the Central Plains military to envoys from various countries, and the other was to send a message to the outside world that the emperor of the Central Plains valued armaments.

This military parade has existed since ancient times. Before King Wu of Zhou attacked Zhou, eight hundred princes from all over the world gathered to form an alliance. This was the first recorded military parade in history.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, military parades were often held. During the Tang Dynasty, military parades were personally reviewed by the emperor and became an important ceremony.

Luo Youdu planned to establish a rule that, unless it was a war, a military parade would be held on February 2 every year to motivate the soldiers.

The first envoy to enter the hall was Qian Hongyi, envoy from Wuyue.

He was the younger brother of King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue. Wuyue's dedication to the Central Plains Dynasty was rare in the world.

Naturally, he is at the head of the envoys.

The second one is the Koryo envoy...

Although Luo Youdu had a little prejudice against Goryeo in his heart, the current king of Goryeo, Wang Zhao, did have some interest in the Central Plains Dynasty.

Goryeo refused Khitan's coercion and inducement and continued to profess its vassalage to the Central Plains. Starting from the first year of Guangshun, Zhou Taizu Guo Wei sent envoys many times to congratulate the Zhou Dynasty and pay tribute.

Later Zhou envoys Wang Yan, Lu Jiyun, and Xue Wenyu also visited the Haidong Peninsula many times to confer the title of King of Goryeo.

Because Guo Rong improved the currency and there was a shortage of copper in the Central Plains, he sent Han Yanqing, a member of the Ministry of Water Resources, and Jin Yanying, a minister of the Ministry of Water Affairs, to bring thousands of pieces of silk to exchange for copper. Wang Zhao also sent an envoy to offer 50,000 catties of copper the following year...

No matter what the future holds, the current Goryeo is very pious towards the Central Plains.

Luo Youdu had no reason not to place him in second place.

If it weren't for Luo Youdu's preference for the Qian family of Wuyue, it would make sense to put the Korean envoy first.

But no matter what, the top two positions of the Qian family of Wuyue and the Korean envoy are untouchable.

Then there are various Uighur envoys, Tubo envoys...

The Ganzhou Uighurs signed a nephew-uncle covenant with the imperial court, with the Central Plains as their uncle.

The Tubo here does not refer to the Tubo royal family that the dogs in Tibet have beaten their brains out, but the powerful Tubo tribe located near Longyou, Hequ, and Qinghai Lake.

During the Zhou Taizu and Shizong periods, most of the horses in the Central Plains were purchased from the Uighurs and Tubo strongholds in the West.

Everyone gets what they need and they get along well.

After accepting the visits from envoys from all sides, Luo Youdu led a group of envoys and civil and military ministers to the Daqing Gate.

The war drums also sounded immediately!

Pan Mei, as the commander of the Imperial Camp Division, led the majestic and high-spirited Imperial Camp Division and was the first to be inspected.

The highest officer of the Royal Camp Division was originally the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. After Luo Youdu ascended the throne, this position of Commander-in-Chief could no longer be used.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp Division became the highest officer.

Pan Mei is dressed in beautiful Mingguang armor and has a majestic and majestic demeanor. Her appearance alone has a heart-wrenching feeling.

Behind him were soldiers with brightly colored armor. They were wearing iron armor and their inner clothes were uniformly red like blood.

Pan Mei shouted: "The Royal Camp Division has ten armies under its jurisdiction, please review by your Majesty!"

At first, the Yuying Division only had the Sixth Army, but later Shu Yuan's scattered members were expanded. In respect of Guo Rong's order, the left and right Hujie Army, Guo Tingwei's troops, and the navy were organized into the Yuying Division, which became the Eleventh Army.

.

As for the navy, the main force is near the Yangtze River and cannot participate in this military parade, so there are only ten battalions.

The Royal Camp Division may not be as powerful as the Palace Division, but its energy and spirit are definitely the strongest among the three divisions of the Forbidden Army.

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please review!"

The roar of the mountains and the tsunami covered up the sound of the war drums.

When the surrounding envoys saw this, everyone was horrified.

It's not that they can't gather more than 10,000 soldiers, but they can't do this kind of unified uniform and unified pace of soldiers.

Luo Youdu waved his hand from the tower, and the soldiers of the Royal Camp raised their weapons and shouted three times: "The Great Yu will be victorious, Your Majesty will be victorious!"

Passing by the gate of Daqing with the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami.

Zhang Qionglong Guards.

Zhang Qiong is no longer wearing a patchwork of ancestral armor, but a mountain armor coated with gold paint, completely covering his plump body, looking up at him with hot eyes, and the cavalry behind him are lined up neatly.

, the arrogance is particularly majestic.

The Longxiang Army of the Dang Army, all dressed in chain mail, stood quietly and silently.

Although the colors of the war horses vary, they do not compromise the power of the army and cannot conceal the confidence displayed by the soldiers.

After the Long Wei Army and Long Xiang Army came Chang Side's Tianwei Army.



A group of powerful troops passed in front of the temple.

The Imperial Camp Division begins, and the Guards and Military Division is in the middle...

Tonozenji appears as the finale...

The Dianqian Division is still the most well-equipped and most terrifying force in combat effectiveness.

They were all dressed in black armor and black clothes, and looked like the god of death.

The front officers of the palace are all soldiers carefully selected from the veterans. The evil spirits of the veterans gather together into an army, which is daunting.

The surrounding envoys were a little numb.

They thought that the Imperial Guards Division was scary enough, but they didn't expect that there would be a Guards and Military Division who was almost the same.

I think it should be over!

Here comes the even more terrifying Dianqiansi.



Liangzhou powerful Pan Luozhi and He Zhiyao looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they both understood each other's meaning.

They fight again and again, and fight again and again. Don't make fun of the Central Plains.

Li Chuyun, the envoy, is the Supreme Emperor, and he must not be offended by enshrining him.

It gave the Central Plains an excuse to invade, and it was just this military strength?

Are they fighting with their heads?

No wonder they were able to defeat the Khitan and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty!

Western Shu and Southern Tang, which had wars with the Central Plains, had earth-colored faces.

Has the military strength of the Central Plains grown so strong?

Wu Ping's envoy was even more panicked...

The Central Plains has revealed its intention to destroy the Southern Han Dynasty.

To destroy the Southern Han Dynasty, they must go to Jingnan.

Whether or not to let people pass by is the most troublesome issue in Jingnan right now.

Seeing the military strength in the Central Plains, the Jingnan envoy had already made up his mind. After returning, he immediately advised Zhou Xingfeng to let the Central Plains soldiers and horses pass through.

So what if the false Taoist attack Guo?

Do you really think it can’t be destroyed without falsehood?

If you lie down flat, even if you are dead, you can at least strive for wealth. If you don't lie flat and hold on for ten and a half months, what's the point?

Looking at the expressions of the envoys, Luo Youdu knew that his goal had been achieved, and then asked the council to discuss the security issues of the Silk Road with them.

Although Luo Youdu knew that the maritime Silk Road was more convenient, he did not want to give up the Silk Road on the road.

The Silk Road was the hub connecting the West.

Luo Youdu was unwilling to give up control of the Western Regions.

The Maritime Silk Road must be grasped, and the Silk Road on the road must be developed as well.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Luo Youdu said regretfully: "I hate that night is approaching, and half of our Imperial Army cannot participate in the review."

The surrounding envoys no longer knew how to respond.

Next, Luo Youdu hosted a banquet for envoys from all over the world at Shengping Tower, drawing the curtain on today's ceremony.

During the banquet, Luo Youdu clearly felt that the envoy in the palace was worried.

Many of them came to Bianjing in advance just to see the real situation of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But what I have seen and heard these days is far less tangible than today’s military parade...

Although they understood that this was the intention of the Emperor of the Central Plains to let them see the military strength of the Central Plains.

These are all prepared in advance.

But so what?

Even if they were given ten years to prepare, they would not be as powerful as they are today.

Being able to do this is already quite terrifying.

The Central Plains Dynasty has entered a new chapter from today on.
