Chapter 2273: Ying Hao proclaims emperor, Daqin rises again
Chapter 2273: Ying Hao proclaims himself emperor and the Qin Dynasty rises again
As the day of Ying Hao's accession to the throne gradually approaches, the entire Qin Kingdom is filled with an atmosphere of tension and celebration.
Ying Hao was deeply supported and loved by the people, and coupled with Hei Bingtai's subtle propaganda for many years, public opinion has reached the point where Ying Hao must be crowned emperor.
Si, Yong, Bing, You, Ji, Qing, Jing, He, eight states, forty-five counties, more than 500 counties, and more than 27 million people, all looked forward to Ying Hao's assumption of the throne as emperor.
On January 1st, not only big cities such as Luoyang, Jinyang, Yecheng, Xiangyang, and Yanmen, but also other large and small counties, either proactively or passively, are all decorated with lights and colorful decorations to celebrate the day.
The appearance is used to celebrate the change of dynasty and the arrival of the new emperor.
In Luoyang, the state treasury allocated 300 million yuan specifically for the ceremony.
After receiving the funds, the Ministry of Rites arranged a large number of colorful sheds, palace lanterns, and red silk in Luoyang to decorate the ceremony with festive colors, making the ceremony even more majestic.
At a quarter past three o'clock, all the bell towers and drum towers in Luoyang played on time, and then the whole city began to set off fireworks and firecrackers, which also marked the beginning of the coronation ceremony.
Fireworks were developed by engineers two years ago. Ying Hao's original intention was to develop gunpowder. After all, it was too expensive to redeem it from the system. However, the development process was not smooth. However, fireworks came out as the times require and were used by princes and noble families.
Beloved by the wealthy.
After the five-minute fireworks show ended, all the people in the city were seen dressed up neatly and going out with joy, ready to participate in this grand ceremony together.
The soldiers of the Qin State had already put on their uniforms, armor, and swords an hour in advance and went to the streets to maintain order in the city.
Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong were walking on the streets of Luoyang, seeing people coming and going with heartfelt smiles, and complicated expressions on their faces.
Ying Hao, this is the general trend and what the people want. Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong thought secretly.
"Have you heard that this time the Holy Emperor's enthronement ceremony uses a new ceremony that is completely different from the previous ones?"
"Aren't there any old rites from the Han Dynasty?"
"The Pre-Han Dynasty is already a thing of the past. How can the old rituals of the Pre-Han Dynasty express my magnificence?"
Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong felt even more unhappy when they heard that the people around them were sincerely proud of Qin and looked down upon the Han when they mentioned it.
Is the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited for more than four hundred years, and for which they have fought all their lives, really so unpopular? Not as good as the Qin State, which was founded only ten years ago?
"Junior brother heard, it is said that after the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Qin will hold a military parade on the palace tower to promote martial virtue and military strength.
At that time, Da Qin's senior officials and envoys from various countries will be present. In addition, high-ranking people from all over the country have also received invitations to attend the ceremony.
The reason why these people are so active is probably to go to the Palace Square, wait for the opening of the military parade, and meet these big figures."
Hearing what Zhong said, Jiang Shang couldn't help but be startled: "There are many etiquettes in the enthronement ceremony. After all of them are over, it will be at least noon. The people will go there at this time, and they don't have to wait for several hours in vain."
"Alas, Ying Hao is deeply loved by the people of Qin, and the people are willing to wait in order to see their king.
Besides, not everyone is qualified. Those who can enter the Palace Square are carefully selected and can only enter the square with tickets."
"Then who are these common people?"
"These people are here to welcome Emperor Qin's carriage."
Hearing this, Jiang Shang nodded.
There are destined to be many big names appearing today, such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Li Bai, etc., but they are all embellishments and supporting roles. Today's protagonist is destined to be only one person, and that is the Emperor of Qin, Ying Hao.
Who did the people get up so early and wait for several hours to see? Of course they were rushing to see Ying Hao.
Most people can't go to the Imperial City Square, but the chance to see Ying Hao is only on the way he goes out and into the palace. If he misses it, he won't be able to see his self-love, so why not be active?
Wen Zhong and Jiang Shang did not go to the palace square immediately, but followed the flow of people to the Qin Palace. The main road was already filled with soldiers maintaining order, because soon Ying Hao would go to the palace from here to enthrone.
Inside the palace of King Qin.
Ying Hao's family all got up early.
At this time, Ying Hao, Ren Hongchang, Liu Mu, Cai Yan, Xiao Longnv, Yang Yuhuan, Mu Guiying, Zhao Min, Xiahou Qingyi and other girls had all put on their formal attires and were patiently waiting for this moment to arrive.
Ying Huang Yu, who was not yet three years old, asked with an innocent smile on his face in front of the trotting Ying Hao: "Daddy, daddy, will our family move to the palace in the future?"
Xiao Longnu pulled her daughter over and corrected her: "From now on, we can no longer call her daddy, we must call her father."
Ying Huangyu's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand why he couldn't call him daddy.
Ying Hao smiled at Xiao Longnu and said, "Children can scream whatever they want. When they grow up, they will naturally understand."
"Father, father, what do you think of this child?"
Yingying was wearing a new dress, her face was full of excitement and she was jumping up and down, giving Mu Guiying a headache.
"Brother Ying, be careful. Don't fall. You have to change your clothes if they get dirty."
The eldest sister Ying Hongye shouted to Ying Ying, and then Ying Qi and Ying Lin waved their hands and said: "Brother Qi, brother Lin, come here quickly and let father take a look."
They are both children, and they don't have any big ideas, but within a few days, Ying Hongye has become familiar with these two new brothers.
The two brothers, who also put on new clothes, kept looking around as if they were looking for someone.
The mothers of brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters are all here, why is their mother not here?
"Your mother hasn't married your father yet, and she can't be considered a member of our family until the wedding is held, so she can't participate in the ceremony with us."
Ren Hongchang smiled and explained that she liked these two children very much and envied Li Xiuning for being able to give birth to two at one time, both of them boys. This was really amazing.
"Okay kids, come over here."
As soon as Ying Hao, the father, spoke, the children all became obedient and even Ying Ying did not dare to be naughty anymore.
"Come on, everyone, stand up, boys in one team, girls in another team.
Yan'er, you are a boy, you should stand with your brothers and don't go to the sister team."
Saying that, Ying Hao reached out and took Ying Yan, who was standing in the wrong team, out of the girls team. This move also caused the girls to burst into laughter, while the child's biological mother, Cai Yan, had black lines on her face.
Soon, the teams were organized according to grade level, with men and women in each row, with five people in each group.
"Listen up, my sons. Today is a big day for our family. You don't have to worry about anything for a while. Just follow the adults and don't run around. I understand."
"I understand." The daughters said in unison.
"No, father." The sons said in unison.
Ying Hao was stunned. He didn't expect his five sons to answer like this, so he asked with a smile: "Who taught you to say that."
Ying Han raised his hand: "It's the eldest brother."
Ying Ying raised her head proudly, as if she was coming to praise me.
"Your Majesty, the time has come. The ministers and envoys from various countries are already waiting at the palace." Dugu Qiu came in to report.
"I know, here I go."
After saying this, Ying Hao looked at his wives, concubines, and children, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let the world see the splendor of our family."
"Um……"
At this time, people were already standing outside Prince Qin's palace, but there was no confusion at all. Everyone was looking at the gate of the palace, waiting for Qin Hao's family, who was about to become emperor, to come out.
As for the honor guard escorting Ying Hao, they were led by Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general in the world. He was not only the face of the Shangqing faction, but also the face of the Qin State. Even if Sun Lingming had risen, he still could not shake his influence in Qin.
military status.
Of course, Li Cunxiao was not the only guard general in the honor guard. In addition to him, there were Sun Lingming, Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu, Jia Fu, etc.
The other generals all looked majestic, but Sun Lingming had bruises on his face. It was obvious that he had suffered injuries from the battle with Yang Jian in Guanzhong, which had not yet healed.
Li Cunxiao patted Sun Lingming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Sun, I thought you wouldn't come to join the escort team."
"This little injury is nothing. As long as he is still alive, I, the old man, will come here in person to escort the lord to the throne of God."
Li Cunxiao originally wanted to tease Sun Lingming. After all, he was the only one in the Qin army who was still challenging his position. But after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel some respect for this little brother.
"Do your best, I'm waiting for you to challenge me."
"Don't worry, that day won't be too far away."
"Dong——dong——"
The bells and drums rang leisurely and solemnly, and the people immediately cheered up.
squeak……
The gate of the palace opened, and Ying Hao's family walked out of the palace.
At this time, Ying Hao was wearing the imperial uniform and a twelve-pointed crown.
The emperor's uniform is made of black gold Shu brocade as the base, embroidered with twelve patterns such as sun, moon, stars, chen, dragons, mountains, fire, clouds, flowers, etc., with cloud patterns covering the knees, and a large white jade belt with cloud patterns.
As for the crown, it is made of twelve colorful silk ribbons and twelve jade algae on the front and back, reaching shoulder length, with jade scales and jade hairpins all white.
The gorgeous yet commanding cold-toned uniforms set off Ying Hao's handsome and resolute face, and his tall and straight figure.
Dressed in this way, Ying Hao can be described as solemn, solemn, and majestic, giving people a feeling of supremacy, and the powerful aura of the Nine-Five Supreme One rushes towards his face.
Upon seeing this, Li Cunxiao quickly led his guards and stepped forward to protect his lord and his family.
Although Luoyang has been cleaned up by Jia Xu and the probability of assassins appearing has been reduced to a minimum, we are not afraid of anything less than ten thousand, so the security work must reach the highest level.
Ying Hao was at the forefront of the motorcade. The two great masters, Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu, stood on the left and right sides of Ying Hao respectively. While protecting his safety, they also waved to the people with Ying Hao and a smile on their faces.
Seeing the lively crowd and the roaring and tsunami-like shouts, Ren Hongchang couldn't help but sigh: "The scene is really big."
"How does it compare to when you proclaimed yourself emperor?"
When Liu Mu's voice came, Ren Hongchang was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly, shook his head and said: "It's like the bright moon and the firefly, there is no comparison."
Ying Hao held the two women's hands and said softly: "Without your support, Ying Hao wouldn't be where he is today, so half of the honors I get for my husband are due to you."
When Liu Mu and Ren Hongchang heard this, their faces turned slightly red, and Ying Hao's move of holding hands also made the people even more excited and cheered more enthusiastically.
Under the protection of Li Cunxiao and other generals, and amid the cheers of the people, the Ying Hao family drove slowly towards the palace in a carriage.
Ying Hao looked at the excited crowd, waved his hand, and thought to himself: Are there people like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in this crowd?
When Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and toured the world, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in the crowd sighed respectively, "A man should be like this" and "He will definitely take his place."
Ying Hao felt that among this group of people, there must be some who would have similar thoughts after seeing him, but he would never give them a chance. His Great Qin would never be as fragile as the pre-Qin.
Wen Zhong and Jiang Shang in the crowd finally saw Ying Hao on the bicycle frame after waiting for a long time, and they felt the same sigh in their hearts: He is too young.
Both Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong had to admit that with such a young, wise and mighty founding emperor, once the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the national destiny would never be as short-lived as that of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
"Senior brother, we've also seen people. What should we do next? We don't have tickets to enter the Palace Square." Jiang Shang said.
"Don't worry, can such a trivial matter be so difficult for my brother?"
Wen Zhong looked mysterious, and then took out two tickets with the words "Da Qin" printed on them from his pocket.
"This way you can enter the square and watch the upcoming military parade."
Wen Zhong smiled and followed the flow of people to the palace with Jiang Shang. They queued for an hour before entering the square.
At this time, the palace was also crowded with people. In addition to officials and soldiers, there were also representatives from various counties and counties invited to watch the ceremony.
The Qin State has more than 500 counties, and each county sends ten representatives, which is more than 5,000 people. Adding representatives from other walks of life, there are 6,7,000 people attending the ceremony alone.
The square inside the palace had already been cleared with clear water. Under the maintenance of soldiers, representatives from all over the place stood in an orderly manner, patiently waiting for Ying Hao's arrival.
Boom, boom, boom...
As bells, drums, and ritual music sounded, Ying Hao and others drove into the palace.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come. Please give me your order." Zhuge Liang shouted.
"Sacrifice to heaven and earth, pray to God!" Ying Hao ordered loudly.
"According to the order!"
Zhuge Liang and Han Fei left together with the order.
In the sound of ritual music and under the gaze of everyone, Ying Hao led the civil and military ministers, the queen, the princess, the prince, the princess, the supreme king, and the supreme queen, and slowly walked up to the high platform for worshiping the sky, and began to read out the sacrificial rites, sacrifice to heaven and earth, and pray to heaven.
.
"...Your Majesty, Ying Hao, I hereby abide by the order of God Haotian, that is, the throne of the Son of Heaven, the title of Emperor, the name of the country Daqin, the name of the year Shenwu...all the gods in the sky will learn from this..."
