Chapter 2275: The jade seal passed down to the country, and the ministers were granted great titles
Ying Hao, who was sitting on the new dragon-made chair, saw the people kneeling below, shouting wildly like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. He couldn't help but straighten his shoulders and back, his posture was like a bell, and he was majestic.
At this time, Ying Hao was calm on the surface, but he was also extremely excited inside and could not calm down no matter what.
It has been fifteen years since he came to this world, and he has experienced countless intrigues, overt and covert fights, and now he has finally become the emperor.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, tens of millions of people, all belong to him, the Shenwu Emperor.
Gao Huan, Shenwu is such a good reign name, but now you are no longer qualified to have it. Shenwu will definitely become the greatest reign title.
I, Ying Hao, not only want to unify the world, but also create unprecedented feats, let the fame of the Qin Empire and Chinese civilization spread all over the world, and let the East always trample the West under my feet.
Thinking of this, Ying Hao's heart became even more excited. He immediately suppressed the blood in his heart and looked down at the square, where he had a panoramic view of the grand scene.
Ying Hao neither glanced around nor focused his gaze on one place, nor could he move his eyes. Instead, he had to look divergent and dumbfounded, which gave him a mysterious majesty.
"Get flat."
Ying Hao faintly uttered two words.
The ceremony officer immediately shouted: "Ping Shen."
bump……
As soon as the salute was fired, the people on their knees shouted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" After shouting, they all stood up together.
"play music!"
Woo...
Ritual music with a bright rhythm sounded, followed by a large number of soldiers holding horizontal swords, forming a good formation under the altar, and dancing their swords on the spot to the music.
"ha!"
"call!"
This ritual music is the music of the King of Qin breaking the formation, and the sword dance is the dance of the King of Qin breaking the formation. Just by the name, you can tell that it is a song praising Ying Hao for pacifying the Yellow Turban and wiping out the princes. The military music of Ding Ding's northern border is extremely popular all over the world. It was performed by Princess Cai
Co-authored by Yan and Cai Yong, the head of state.
The civil and military ministers of Qin State all sang and danced to the rhythm of the music to celebrate Ying Hao's accession to the throne.
Representatives from various counties and industries have been trained in advance, and most of them can sing and dance, so they all sang and danced along with the rhythm.
As for the envoys from various countries, some could sing or dance, but only the envoys from small forces such as Tubo, the Western Regions, and Nanyang could not do it at all, and could only stand awkwardly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the ritual music and dance to end, and the next step began, which was to seal the ministers.
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict with your seal!"
Several ceremony officials shouted together, and as soon as the shouting ended, several drafted edicts were sent to Ying Hao respectfully.
The edicts were all written in advance, but no seal was used, and the edict was issued with a seal, which was the last step.
"Fu Baolang!" shouted the ceremony officer.
"exist!"
An official came forward respectfully holding the jade seal, gently put down the wooden box in which the jade seal was placed, and at the same time knelt down and opened the box. It was the jade seal passed down from the country.
As soon as the imperial seal came out, the scene exploded again.
Cao Cao's eyes were full of suspicion: "Isn't the jade seal of the country lost a long time ago? It can't be fake, right?"
After the death of Emperor Ling, Chang'an fell into civil strife, and the jade seal was lost and never appeared again. Unexpectedly, it would reappear at Ying Hao's enthronement ceremony.
"It's true."
Cai Yong's voice sounded from the side, and then Xun Shuang said: "I and others have experienced it, and it is indeed true."
"But why is the jade seal in the hands of Emperor Qin?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.
"God knows." Sun Jian said with a wry smile.
Qiao Xuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Holy One has been blessed by God, and has destiny in his body. There were auspicious celestial phenomena just now, but now the gods have sent back the jade seal. Isn't this natural?"
Cao Cao, Sun Jian and the other three looked at each other, but neither of them continued to question because it was meaningless.
When Ying Hao became emperor this time, he not only received auspiciousness from heaven, but also brought out the jade seal. Now the name of orthodoxy is even more well-deserved.
At this thought, Cao Cao and others became more solemn in their hearts, while the civil and military officials of Qin State were even more on stimulants, especially civil servants such as Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang.
At first, they thought that if their lord proclaimed himself emperor and did not pass down the imperial seal, his name would be unfair. However, they did not expect that the jade seal was already in their lord's hands, and they did not take it out until the moment he ascended the throne.
Lord, it's really hard for you to hide this from us. Everyone secretly thought.
The jade seal of the state is a sacred object. When dynasties change and people ascend the throne and become emperor, how can they not hold the jade seal?
Ying Hao picked up the jade seal with a solemn expression, and the moment he touched it with his hand, the system prompts also sounded in his mind.
[Ding Dong, the host holds the Jade Seal and ascends the throne, and will be rewarded with 50 years of extra national luck. Currently, he has a total of 200 years of extra national luck.]
When Ying Hao saw this, he was immediately overjoyed. He never expected that ascending the throne holding the jade seal would have such benefits. After all, it was an additional 50 years of national fortune. No wonder the world regarded the jade seal as a symbol of orthodoxy.
Ying Hao thought this was the end, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
[Ding dong, the host has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor, and possesses the Holy Path Xuanyuan. He will be rewarded with 50 years of extra national luck. Currently, he has a total of 250 years of extra national luck. 】
[Ding dong, the host has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and possesses Rendao Zhanlu, and will be rewarded with 40 years of extra national luck. Currently, he has a total of 290 years of extra national luck.]
[Ding dong, the host has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and possesses the Overbearing Tai'a, which rewards 20 years of extra national luck. Currently, it has a total of 310 years of extra national luck. (Note: The famous swords that can increase the extra national luck are only the top five of the top ten famous swords, and the next five
There is no such effect.)]
"It turns out that not only the jade seals, but the top five swords in the top ten can also increase the national luck, and they become less and less from top to bottom.
If you calculate it this way, Chi Xiao will get 30 years of extra national luck, while Long Yuan will get 10 years."
As soon as he thought of this, a light flashed in Ying Hao's eyes.
Now that Chi Xiao and Long Yuan are in Tang and Shu respectively, there is no other way to get Chi Xiao except war, but Long Yuan can force Li Shimin to hand it over through diplomatic means.
Not long ago, ten great masters directly moved the palace of the Tang Dynasty to the ground, which made the entire Tang Kingdom tremble. Li Shimin was even more timid, and he would not dare to quarrel with the Qin Kingdom over a sword.
"Shimin, I'm sorry, Long Yuan just thinks of it as a dowry for Xiuning." Ying Hao thought to himself.
At this moment, the officials unfolded the edict written in advance, and Ying Hao held the jade seal and stamped it with his own hands.
After several edicts were stamped with the imperial seal, Ying placed the edict on the table and unfolded it, and officials from the Ministry of Rites read it out in public.
"The emperor is destined to be the emperor, and the edict says:...I will honor my father Ying Wen as the supreme emperor, and my mother Jia Shi as the empress dowager..."
The first edict is to confer Ying Wen and Jia Yu, but this is not the point, the focus is on the second edict.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: ... The Liu family is my virtuous and virtuous family, and the Ren family owes the whole country to the Qin Dynasty. The two daughters are both worthy enough to honor the world, so the Liu family is made the Queen of the West Palace, and the Ren family is the queen.
The empresses of the East Palace have equal status, and they are all awarded the empress's precious seal."
After the edict was issued, everyone was shocked and began to discuss in low voices. After all, no one expected that Ying Hao would seal two queens.
Two queens? This is the first time since ancient times.
However, what is said in the edict is correct. One of Liu Ren's two daughters, one of whom is a wife, and the other of whom is in the country, is enough to be the mother of the world. It is indeed difficult to choose between them.
As for the parties involved, Liu Mu and Ren Hongchang were stunned when they learned that they had both been sealed.
Liu Mu was actually prepared to lose the election. After all, before the coronation ceremony, his father-in-law Ying Wen talked to her alone and persuaded her to voluntarily give up the position of queen.
The reason is also very simple. Most of the officials of the Qin Dynasty did not want Liu Mu to become the queen, because the Han Dynasty was replaced by the Qin Dynasty under their promotion. How could they watch the princess of the previous dynasty become the queen and let someone with Han ancestry become the queen?
What about the prince's succession?
Of course, Liu Mu knew this clearly, and she was naturally unwilling to give up her position. However, after the imperialist coup failed, the Han officials in Da Qin were severely weakened, and there was too little help that could be given to her.
.
Although she could forcefully take the position of queen, this would only attract civil and military opposition from the entire dynasty. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons and in order to ensure the stability of the newly born Qin Dynasty, Liu Mu decided to voluntarily give up the position of queen.
Liu Mu had already told her husband, and Ying Hao also agreed with a face of embarrassment. Unexpectedly, he would now have two queens.
Liu Mu felt that Ying Hao definitely didn't want her to be wronged, so he took the risk of sealing the two queens. Thinking of this, she was already moved to tears.
As for Ren Hongchang, Ying Hao had approached her before and mentioned the matter of the twin queens to her.
Ying Hao said bluntly that Liu Mu and his wife had been married for many years, and Liu Mu had always been silently supporting him and had never done anything to feel sorry for him. He really couldn't bear to hurt Liu Mu, so he wanted to make both of them queens.
Liu Mu was the Queen of the East Palace, and she was the Queen of the West Palace.
The status of the East Palace is obviously higher than that of the West Palace, and my husband asked Liu Mu to be the Queen of the East Palace. Does it mean that Liu Mu is more important than him in his heart?
At that time, Ren Hongchang actually felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she didn't even want to be the emperor, so how could she care about a queen? All she really cared about was Ying Hao.
But when he learned that in her husband's heart, Liu Mu, who had been with him for a longer time, had no lower status than himself, it was natural to feel sad.
Of course, in addition to being sad, Ren Hongchang felt that he had seen the right person, Ying Hao was still the loving and righteous Ying Hao.
In order not to embarrass her husband, Ren Hongchang agreed. She had also made plans to become the Queen of the West Palace and be overpowered by Liu Mu. Unexpectedly, when the time came for the canonization, Liu Mu became the Queen of the West Palace, and she was
Queen of the East Palace.
Ren Hongchang was absolutely convinced that it was for her that Ying Hao broke the ancestral system and established two queens, and now he made her the Eastern Palace, with a higher status than Liu Mu, which proved her status in Ying Hao's heart.
As soon as he thought of this, Ren Hongchang's eyes also filled with tears, and he shed tears of emotion.
After seeing the reactions of the two women, Ying Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the issue of being crowned queen had given him a headache for a long time, but now both women were finally satisfied.
"...Front King Jinyang..."
"...the eldest son Ying Ying was made King of Jinyang, and his mother Mu Guiying was made a noble concubine..."
"...make the second son Ying Qi (mother Li Xiuning) the King of Yiyang..."
"...make the third son Ying Lin (mother Li Xiuning) the King of Xingyang..."
"...the fourth son Ying Han was made the King of Xiangyang, and his mother Zhao Min was made the Jade Concubine..."
"...the fifth son Ying Yan was made King of Nanyang, and his mother Cai Yan was made Concubine Shu..."
"...the eldest daughter Ying Hongye (mother Liu Mu) was made Princess Taiping..."
"...the second daughter Ying Chengxin was granted the title of Princess Leping, and her mother Xiahou Qingyi was granted the title of Concubine Wei..."
"...the third daughter Ying Huang Yu was made Princess Anping, and her mother Long was made Concubine Zhen..."
"...the fourth daughter Ying Luqi was made Princess Jiaping, and her mother Yang Yuhuan was made Concubine Virtue..."
"...the fifth daughter Ying Qingying (mother Mu Guiying) was named Princess Zhaoping..."
Over at the Tang Dynasty mission, Li Xiuning burst into tears of joy when she saw that her two sons had been crowned kings.
Although her two sons were named county kings, unlike the other three who were named county kings, the titles at this time were only initial titles and did not represent the final titles. The titles would definitely be changed when the princes came of age.
It is a one-character king.
After all, she hasn't married Ying Hao yet. It's already good for her son to be named the county king. As a person, you must be content.
After the royal family was enthroned, the heroes came next, starting with the four dukes.
"...make Qin Jian the Duke of Yanmen County..."
"...Female Qin Zheng as Duke of Hongnong, and posthumously named his father Qin Liang as King of Hongnong, Situ..."
As far as merit is concerned, Qin Jian and Qin Zheng cannot be separated from each other, but after all, they are direct blood relatives of Ying Wen and Ying Hao. As relatives of the emperor, it is natural for them to be granted the title of duke.
"...Feng Baiqi was made the Duke of Wu'an County, a general, and the governor of Jizhou..."
"...Female Jia Xu as Duke of Wuwei County, Taifu, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishments..."
Bai Qi and Jia Xu represent the head of military generals and the head of civil servants respectively.
As the leader of the generals, Bai Qi had the greatest merit among the generals, so it was natural for him to be granted the title of Duke.
Jia Xu has not yet reached the status of the leader of civil servants, or it can be said that the Qin State does not have a true leader of civil servants.
This was also Qin Hao's intention. He did not want a situation where someone was the leader among the civil and military officials.
It's just that Bai Qi is too defiant. Even if the lord Ying Hao intends to suppress him and supports others to compete with him, he still dominates the army. He is the one with the greatest contribution, and is naturally the leader of the generals.
Jia Xu was far less stubborn than Bai Qi, and there were many civil servants who could rival or even surpass him, such as Wang Meng, Liu Bowen, Han Fei, and Xun Yu.
It's just that they can't reach the level of being the leader of civil servants.
Now someone needs to stand up and stand alongside Bai Qi, the leader of the generals, but no civil servant has this qualification.
Although Jia Xu was not qualified in terms of merit, he still had an identity as the uncle of Emperor Ying Hao, which made him eligible for this title.
"...make Li Jing the Marquis of Wei, the General of the Conquest of the West, and the Commander-in-Chief of Yongzhou..."
"...Female Yue Fei as the Marquis of E, the General of the Northern Conquest, and the Commander-in-Chief of Youzhou..."
"...Female Su Lie as Marquis of Xing, General of the Conquest of the East, and Commander-in-Chief of Qingzhou..."
"...make Xue Li a Marquis of Yi, General of the Conquest of the South, and Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou..."
