It's July, and the whole city of Jinan is completely hot like this midsummer.
No one can remain peaceful, everyone is looking forward to the most important day.
On the twelfth day of the seventh lunar month, the sky is as clear as water and the sun is as bright as fire. Everything is in full bloom and the heaven and earth are new.
On the 65th day of the month, Zhi Lin is coming, it is suitable for the king, and it is auspicious.
At eight o'clock in the morning, all the people in the city had already mobilized, gathered on both sides of the central road, and waited patiently.
Many people even set up incense tables and three animals, and prepared firecrackers and fireworks.
All the buildings along the street were spontaneously painted in red, carefully cleaned, and sparkled in the sun.
Zuo Mengeng took off his usual light clothes and became more solemn and serious on this day.
The twelve-column crown was only worn by the emperor when he held grand ceremonies.
His crown is different.
It was explained in the edict that it was to connect with the world and facilitate communication with other parts of the world. Therefore, the birth of Jesus and the introduction of Buddhism to China was the first year of the Christian era.
If it weren't for today's celebration, Zuo Mengeng would be reluctant to use it.
The edict contains many contents.
Even the most basic enjoyment has been given up.
Is the reason why it has not been announced because those places are not unified yet?
In addition, Nanjing was renamed Nandu.
The Xia calendar is the Yellow Emperor calendar, and this year is the 4341st year of the Yellow Emperor.
However, the empire did not use year numbers to mark the years, but issued two calendars: the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar.
In addition to clarifying the name of the country, the location of the capital was also announced.
Moreover, this country's name is obviously completely different from those of the past dynasties, especially for the people of the Xia Kingdom who are not Han Chinese, it gives them a greater sense of identity.
The people who watched the ceremony discussed it enthusiastically and were very satisfied with the new national title.
Today, all the Xia troops have put on their costumes and are all over the streets and alleys of Jinan. While maintaining law and order, they also demonstrate the power of Xia's martial arts.
The royal family members are simple and do not need an overly extensive palace complex.
Those who have a flexible mind immediately sense the mystery.
Year name: Xinzhong.
When the empire was founded, it was 1644.
The empire is an open country, so the people of the empire have a very high degree of acceptance of the Gregorian calendar.
[When the country is strong, no one dares to look down upon me even if I live in a thatched cottage; when the country is in decline, even the fairyland is no more than a treasure trove for the enemy.]
Zuo Mengeng was led by Zhang Zhenxiu and Huang Zonghui to the altar.
In the past thousands of years, when have we ever seen an emperor who cared so much about his country?
Zuo Mengeng's royal chariot came out and immediately aroused cheers from all the people.
The royal chariot has been carefully modified so that Zuo Menggeng can stand up instead of sitting in it, walking all the way, and greeting the people along the way.
Under the witness of countless people, Zuo Mengeng offered incense to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, wind, snow, thunder and rain.
The lunar calendar that has always been used is determined to be the Chinese calendar.
However, today's edict made it clear that the capital was in Jinan and was renamed Shangdu.
When discussing the founding of the country, all parties felt that the Xia Palace was too simple and unsuitable for the emperor's status, so it was proposed to build a palace.
In front of the royal chariot, a thousand costumed cavalry were responsible for clearing the way.
The dragon robe he wears is also specially made.
The royal chariot team went all the way out of the city and finally arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.
This means that Zuo Menggeng has been recognized by all things in the world and can proclaim himself emperor and establish a country.
After the ceremony was completed, the salute gun roared, a total of one hundred and eight times.
This is what a country looks like.
It is made from the most expensive tapestry and dyed with gold foil, so it is the purest golden color throughout.
Not to mention the people of Xia State present, even the envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony were stunned and speechless.
Since there is the Southern Capital besides the national capital, are there also the Eastern Capital, the Western Capital and the Northern Capital?
In addition to the above, another important content in the edict is the completion of the name change of Xia Jun.
There are nine pearls on each of the twelve columns of beads. Each pearl is about the size of a thumb, pure white and crystal clear, without any color.
These precious pearls all come from Jilin. They are obtained by pearl divers by diving into the crevices of cold water rocks and are extremely valuable.
There is also a nine-color real dragon on the outside, which uses nine kinds of the most expensive silk threads and nine colors, and is hand-sewn by the best craftsmen.
Whenever Zuo Menggeng waved his hand, the voice of "Long live" resounded through the sky.
From now on, the Xia Army was officially changed to the National Defense Force, and the internal organizational structure remained the same.
However, both proposals were rejected by Zuo Mengeng.
A grand altar has already been built here.
All things considered, Prince Xia's Mansion is completely suitable.
The Gregorian calendar is the solar calendar commonly used for funerals.
In addition to the name of the country and the capital, the title of the emperor was also announced, which was the former title of the reign.
For his persistence, officials inside and outside the country and even the common people were deeply moved.
Hou Xun was so excited that he walked up to the altar with his head held high and read the edict in public.
Or wait until the capital is captured and then move into the Forbidden City.
I saw the royal chariot being pulled by six white horses. Each horse was the same height, nearly two meters, like a divine horse in the sky.
As for the fact that many people were worried that the Xia Palace was too frugal and could not highlight the emperor's majestic views, Zuo Menggeng's answer made everyone excited in the newspapers.
The outside is even wrapped in gold, with a five-clawed dragon carved on it.
At nine o'clock sharp, Zuo Mengeng boarded the royal chariot and walked out of the Xia Prince's Mansion under the guard of the Guards.
In addition, Zuo Mengeng did not want the palace to be too large and consume too much of the national finance. If the royal family alone paid for it, the burden would be too heavy.
Given the strength of the Xia Kingdom, it was very easy to get a thousand cavalry. But these thousand horses were all of the same height and all black in color, which was very astonishing.
"Heaven and earth protect and support the people. The emperor's edict said: Pangu created the sky and there was yin and yang, Nuwa created humans and there are all things, and Yanhuang's grace is China.
, the stars and the moon rotate, and everything is new, different from the old world. My subjects, up and down, should understand the changes in the sea and the world, and obey the power of the general trend of the world. Only in this way can we ensure that China will be prosperous from generation to generation, disasters will never be eliminated, and we will always be the master of the world. The country.
For the new, the people are the foundation, and the heaven and the earth are the link. From today on, the country is called China. Everything the sun and moon shine on is our land of China..."
Although the people of Xia Kingdom have seen many people with Zuo Menggeng's appearance, the meaning is particularly different today.
From now on, the Xia Palace will be officially renamed the Imperial Palace.
There have been discussions in the outside world before, and they all believed that after the Xia Kingdom was unified, the capital would definitely be moved to the capital.
After completing the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, Zuo Mengeng set off again and returned to Wanmin Square.
This is the former Quancheng Square, which underwent large-scale transformation in order to cope with the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The brand-new Wanmin Square is so grand and vast that it can accommodate half a million people for large-scale events.
And this is the core area of the entire founding ceremony.
Representatives of the National Defense Forces from all over the country have already been prepared to be inspected by the emperor and the people.
