Chapter 1094 Grand Ceremony (monthly ticket plus 2 updates)
The wives, concubines, and children soon arrived in Luoyang and moved into the Hebi Palace in Dongdu Garden.
Shao Shude still stayed in Shangyang Palace. On the last night of June, he tried on the dragon robe of the new dynasty.
The theory of the mutual coexistence of the five virtues lasted until the Ming Dynasty before gradually dying out.
The colors of dragon robes have been changing since the Qin Dynasty.
The emperors of the Qin Dynasty wore black dragon robes. During the Western Han Dynasty, they initially believed that they had inherited the water virtues of the Qin Dynasty, so they wore black dragon robes. However, during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, they changed to tu virtues and wore yellow robes.
After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he changed the Western Han Dynasty to Huode. Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited Huode, and wore red dragon robes.
After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, fire gave birth to earth, so Wei was the earth virtue and wore a yellow robe. It is worth mentioning that Wang Mang was a great inventor. He not only invented the system and process of abdication, but also changed the theory of the five elements into
The theory of the mutual generation of the five elements was established, so the earth virtue in the Western Han Dynasty became the fire virtue.
After the Western Jin Dynasty, there was great chaos in the north, but there was still a very clear relationship between the five elements.
"Book of Wei" records: "Wei inherited Han, and fire produced earth, so Wei was the virtue of earth. Jin inherited Wei, and earth produced gold, so Jin was the virtue of gold. Zhao Chengjin, and gold was the birth of water, so Zhao was the virtue of water. Yan succeeded Zhao, and water was the birth of wood, so Yan
It is the virtue of wood. Qin inherited Yan, and wood makes fire, so Qin has the virtue of fire...Wei inherited Qin, and Wei has the virtue of earth." - The last Wei is the Northern Wei.
However, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not recognize the chaotic regimes of the former Zhao Dynasty and believed that they were unworthy. So he ordered the ruler of Wei to Shui De and directly inherit the Jin De of Jin.
After the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties continued to dominate the water virtues, and then were usurped. The Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty both dominated the wood virtues and wore blue dragon robes.
After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, those who dominated the fire virtue wore red dragon robes, while those who belonged to the earth virtue in the Tang Dynasty wore yellow dragon robes.
In fact, the colors of dragon robes in the past dynasties were different, but there was actually one color that was the same, that is, yellow. In other words, no matter how virtuous the ruler of the dynasty was, the emperor always had a yellow dragon robe in his wardrobe, which was very popular. Even
Therefore, the emperors wore dragon robes of various colors. For example, Li Ye, the prince of Le'an County, wore a black robe with a red bottom instead of a yellow robe during the court meeting.
The dragon robe is not a pure color. In fact, it is mainly one color, supplemented by other colors.
The dragon robes customized for the new dynasty currently have two main colors: white and yellow.
At this time, what Shao Shude was wearing was a relatively dull white color, which did not look very bright.
There are stars, mountains and rivers patterns on the collar, sleeves, lapel edge, hem, etc. The chest is not the curling dragon pattern of the imperial dynasty, but a golden flying dragon in the sky.
It looked pretty good, and the style was a bit similar to the dragon robe worn by Li Yuanhao in a TV series he had watched in his early years.
"How?" Shao Shude turned around and asked.
Empress He, with her big belly, was half lying on the bed and looked at it with a smile, and said: "Master, the officials are very handsome in their attire."
Generally, only people who are very close to the official family can be called "."
Empress He used to call Li Ye as an official, and now she calls Shao Shude as an official. She served the monarchs of the two dynasties, which is also legendary.
"You still have to love Queen Shuxian well." Shao Shude said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xiao hurriedly tightened Shao Shude's belt, then took a few steps back to taste it carefully.
"Anything an official wears looks good." The two girls also laughed.
Shao Shude picked up a few more official uniforms and looked at them.
Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, official uniforms have been classified according to grade, which are roughly purple, scarlet, green, and cyan. This classification continued until the Song Dynasty.
Shao Shude did not change this rule. Everyone is familiar with such a uniform color system, so you want to be unconventional, right? It's not a matter of principle. He was too lazy to change it. He just asked people to move the animal patterns painted on it, but
The theme has not changed.
"Tomorrow is the ceremony." Shao Shude looked at Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Xiao said: "After following me for so many years, I will give you an explanation after I ascend the throne."
He knew that after ascending the throne, he had to first ennoble his mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc., and then he could ennoble his own woman.
This is a ritual system that cannot be abolished.
After conferring titles on wives, concubines, and children, ministers with meritorious deeds can be conferred upon them.
When the new dynasty is established, everyone will benefit. This is the meaning of everyone working hard with you.

On the first day of July in the second year of God's blessing, the weather was still beautiful. Although there were some floating clouds, it was still a good weather.
It is also a very hot weather.
Before dawn, Shao Shude took a jade chariot and entered the Hanyuan Hall of Ziwei City via Yingtian Gate.
He was accompanied by hundreds of carefully selected honor guards, who dispersed around him after entering the palace.
Shao Shude took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and sat on the dragon chair.
He gently touched the armrest of the throne and felt a sudden emotion.
"Song Le, the minister of Zhongshu, Chen Cheng, the minister of Zhongshu, and Xiao Qu, the minister of the sect... came in to pay homage." Tongshiren shouted loudly.
Song Le, Chen Cheng, Xiao Qu and others entered together and said: "I pay my respects to your Majesty, long live my emperor."
With this bow, the status of king and minister has been determined!
"Song Qing, I still remember the first time we met in Tiande Military City. We had a very happy conversation and regretted meeting each other so late." Shao Shude said: " Along the way, Qing was transferred to various vassals and contributed a lot. The ancients said, 'When Heaven's generals are auspicious, they will surely
There is an outstanding person, and you are born at the right moment. With your suave and graceful appearance, and your brave and heroic spirit, I have won this person. Although today we are separated from the emperor and his ministers, the relationship between them is extraordinary, and the road is extremely difficult, so we still need to forge ahead.
It’s very kind of you to help me.”
"In the official family, the king is ordered by heaven, so he should call himself me." Qiu Silian, the chamberlain, reminded him in an inaudible voice.
"S***" Shao Shude responded.
"Your Majesty, I have only mediocre talents. My superiors are only responsible for teaching farmers and mulberry trees, transporting grain and equipment, so that masters and apprentices will not have to worry about food, and giving gifts will prepare them to make money. Your Majesty, I am just a member of the subordinates, living under someone else's fence.
, wandering around, barely making ends meet, struggling to survive." Song Le sighed with regret as he recalled the past.
At first, he fell in love with Shao Shude because he still had some kind of conscience among the rough and rude soldiers. He could restrain his troops and treat the sergeants well. But the fact that he had reached this point was far beyond his expectation.
Meng Ye? Fei Ye? Song Le doesn't care, as long as he can show his talents and help the world, he will die without regret.
"Chen Qing." Shao Shude looked at Chen Cheng again and said with a smile: "In the past, Jinyang and his party saw that you were trapped in three cities. They frowned and borrowed money to survive. How do you know today?"
Chen Cheng also laughed, laughing so much that he burst into tears, and said: "Back then, I was almost driven to death by those Zhaoyi soldiers. I wanted to abandon my official position and flee back to my hometown. How could I have imagined what I am today."
"If Chen Qing leaves, who else can I use?" Shao Shude said: "Zifang has hidden opportunities, and Zhang Huajian insists on defeating them. To control the military affairs and to study the national scriptures, you are the only one. You can plan for me.
, my beard has turned white, how dare I not share this wealth with you!"
Chen Cheng cried and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Xiao Qing, in the past both the virtuous Kunzhong and Kunzhong came to help me." Shao Shude said to Xiao Zang again: "At that time, Helong was newly restored, and the surrounding areas were not at peace. In the land of distant officials, there were many officials. Therefore, Xiao Gong, Sikong
Recruiting talents from many sources, we can recruit talents from various places, including state and county magistrates, until they are somewhat full. Your ministers also run around in many ways, wear high-ranking officials, and select people through their professions before they join our ranks. They also sit in the center, assisting in the affairs of the government, helping to promote harmony, and blessing me.
Li people and Xiao Qing’s merits are all in my heart, and I will not let them down.”
"Your Majesty braved the wind and rain, exposed the countryside, fought bravely and won every victory, and repeatedly defeated stubborn enemies. I am waiting for you to be attached to Jiwei, and it will be a blessing in my life." Xiao Qu said with emotion.
Shao Shude laughed and said: "I will have Lai Qing's help in the future."
Colleagues called the next group of officials to come.
Shao Shude sat up straight, asked questions one by one, and comforted him.

Inside and outside Yuanqiu in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, there are forests of ceremonial guards and musical instruments on display.
The voices of Tai Puqing Chen Yishen and Tai Changqing Guo Ji were almost hoarse - it was really uncomfortable in such a hot day, but no one dared to ignore it.
Offering sacrifices to heaven and telling God in the southern suburbs is the most important thing. After completing this step, everyone will have great achievements and will be rewarded.
Just now a young envoy came to report that His Majesty had already summoned all the ministers in Hanyuan Hall and was heading to the southern suburbs with all the civil and military officials.
Time was running out, so Chen Yishen and Guo Xiao took their subordinate officials to patrol separately to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The bells were exhausted, the offerings were inspected again and again.
The ceremonial guards and priests gave the instructions over and over again.
The sun crossed the horizon and fell on the dome.
For a moment, the golden light was so intense that people were shocked and even had the urge to worship.
"Your Majesty is here." A clerk hurried over and reported in a low voice.
Everyone looked solemn and waited silently.
After a while, the jade chariot appeared in the golden light.
Guo Fu signaled with his eyes, and the clocks rang together, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn.
The jade chariot stopped slowly.
Shao Shude got out of the car and looked at Yuanqiu calmly. The sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs was the last step. Completing this section would complete the last link of legitimacy, and the sanctity of the new dynasty's imperial power would also be greatly enhanced.
Soon, accompanied by the priest, he came to stand in front of the round mound.
Drums and drums were playing nearby.
This is to inform the Emperor of Heaven that he knows that someone is offering sacrifices and that he can come to enjoy the sacrifices. At this time, sacrifices and various sacrifices have been brought up, and the priests are mumbling words in a cadence.
Secretary Superintendent Lu Siye personally handed over the memorial book.
Shao Shude took it gently and started reading.
The drumming stopped.
"The Emperor's minister, please report to the Emperor of Heaven——"
"The king is the pastor of Zhaomin. He favors the whole world. It is the beginning of the unification of the family. It is appropriate to express the kindness of Huan Khan. He looks up to the heart of heaven and obeys the desires of human beings... Since the difficult times, the place has been ravaged many times, and the living beings have suffered many disasters... Husband
No plowing, no women weaving, sorrow and sorrow on the roads, the devastation spreads all over the rural areas... Many wells and cities are reduced to ashes, the villages are transformed into ruins, parents, wives and children cannot protect each other, and the countryside and houses cannot be used for themselves.
install……"
"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty grew up in a deep palace, secretly focusing on the affairs of the country. He lamented all day and night, and the thieves became more and more powerful... The people turned to the ravines and left their hometowns, and the Qiu ruins in the towns were cut off... How could a certain guard in Xia Sui...
I can't bear to sit back and watch, then I mobilize my troops to calm down the evil atmosphere... It means that among the subordinates, the ugly people are hiding, and when the righteous teachers come, they follow them with singing and dancing."
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew that Tianlu was about to move, and that the divine weapon was suitable, so he abdicated and became Zen, just like at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty... It was in accordance with the will of God, and it was in line with the hearts of the people. The gift was prepared and presented as a mirror of God. Today, the world is amnesty, and the second year of Tianyou is changed to the first year of Jianji."
After reading the last word, Shao Shude also felt a trance, as if God was silently watching him - are there really ghosts and gods in the world?
Whether I have it or not, when I came to this world, I may have selfish motives, but I have never forgotten my duty to save the common people.
The dark clouds dispersed and the sky became brighter.
