The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month has finally arrived!
It's a sunny day. In the morning, the sun rises and turns red!
Looking at this fiery red sun, the whole city of Yanjing is full of joy, which means that the future of Liangshan will also be fiery red, and Liangshan will prosper!
Wu Dong returned to the palace last night. He still didn't rest after bathing and changing clothes in the palace. High-speed update
That night, he was with a group of monks and Taoist priests. These monks and Taoist priests prayed for him and made final preparations before he ascended the throne. Most of the monks here came from the Shaolin Temple in the south. The Shaolin Temple was probably the happiest for Wu Dong to ascend the throne.
They supported Wu Dong in the beginning, and now it's finally time to pay off! As for the Taoist priests, many of them are disciples of Zhenren Luo, their investment has also paid off.
The sun had just risen and Wu Dong had already come out of the palace!
At this moment, important officials from the Central Province including Hua Rong, Li Gang, Wu Yong, etc. were waiting nervously outside the palace. There were also countless youth representatives and military representatives waiting nervously there. They would go to the Temple of Heaven with Wu Dong.
Finally Wu Dong got on the imperial chariot, and a total of sixteen people carried Wu Dong forward. These sixteen people were all carefully selected from the Liangshan Army. This was a great honor for them!
All the doors of the palace were opened. When Wu Dong and others came out of the palace, people were already on both sides of the road!
Wherever Wu Dong's imperial chariot went, the people knelt down one after another. Although Liangshan has abolished the kneeling ceremony, today is the day Wu Dong ascended the throne, and many people still knelt down to worship Wu Dong as they did before to worship the emperor. It is so important.
At this moment, every common person expressed their support for Wu Dong's ascension to the throne with the most pious and solemn etiquette.
Sitting on the imperial chariot, Wu Dong suddenly felt a sense of excitement! When he first came to this era, how could he have imagined that a day like this would happen! From an ordinary commoner to the emperor of the north, he had experienced many things
, this road was extremely difficult, but he overcame all difficulties and finally became the emperor and controlled everything in the north!
"The world has changed because of me, and the Han people have changed because of me. From now on, the Han people will never be as conservative and cowardly as before, and they will never bear the oppression of foreigners! Now only the Central Plains are left. This is the last step to conquer the world!"
"Wu Dong said secretly.
They went all the way to the Temple of Heaven, and there were people kneeling on the ground everywhere. Looking at these people, Wu Dong suddenly felt like he was in control of everything in the world! Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing City, but because today was the enthronement ceremony, all places
Representatives of young people, officials, model workers, businessmen, etc. arrived one after another. Now there are nearly a million people gathered in this ancient city! Except for those who are really unable to move, everyone participated in this enthronement ceremony.
When they arrived at the Temple of Heaven, the people here also knelt on the ground. Wu Dong and others passed through the people and arrived at the Temple of Heaven!
Only when we got here did we begin the formal ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Wu Dong, Hua Rong, Li Gang, Wu Yong and others all knelt down and silently prayed to heaven! After a long time, a full quarter of an hour passed before Wu Dong stood up!
There was a guard nearby who fired his whip three times. After hearing the crackling sound, the other ministers and the common people stood up one after another.
"A moment of silence for the martyrs!" Wu Dong looked into the distance and said calmly.
There was a half-quarter of an hour of silence for the martyrs, and it was only completed after three more whips were fired. Then Wu Dong led the ministers to offer sacrifices to the sky, and Li Gang read out the imperial edict, which kept him busy until noon.
After the voice of "Your Majesty returns to the palace" sounded, Wu Dong began to return. This time, it was Hua Rong, Li Gang, Wu Yong and other important ministers who personally carried the chariot. Tens of thousands of soldiers guarded the surroundings and followed Wu Dong back to the palace!
The door of the palace was still wide open, Wu Dong entered the political hall, and everyone gathered around him to sit on the throne. This was considered his official enthronement.
After Wu Dong ascended the throne, the ministers headed by Hua Rong gave Wu Dong a title. This was also an ancient Chinese tradition. As long as an emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to give him a title. From the beginning of Qin Shihuang to the later emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the title became more and more important.
When the emperor reigns or dies, he can also be given a title. Some emperors can be given a title during their lifetime.
The number was repeated several times, each time becoming more grand. The title given to Wu Dong by Hua Rong and others was "Emperor Kaiyuan Shenwen Shengwu Datong". The representative of Kaiyuan is the founding king, Shenwen Shengwu is a compliment, and Datong is
Compared with the emperor's title in ancient China, which often had more than ten or twenty characters, this title is relatively short.
After giving the title to Wu Dong, he gave the title to Grandpa Wu, who was regarded as the Supreme Emperor. After that, Wu Dong added titles to the four wives, and then canonized the children.
In the end, Wu Dong issued a general amnesty, and all war criminals were released and free!
The main purpose of the extraordinarily grand enthronement ceremony is to win the hearts and minds of the people, at least in form, to show that they are orthodox and can compete with the Song Dynasty! If the enthronement ceremony is held in a crude and rough manner, I am afraid that my ministers will question this.
Is he an emperor or not? Can he be compared with the Song Dynasty?
After all the etiquette was over, the sun became redder in the afternoon, and there was still white snow in the distance that had not melted. Wu Dong was in a good mood and said: "Bring me some paper!"
But he felt something in his heart. He remembered a poem he had learned as a child and couldn't help but write it: "The scenery of the North Country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow... I cherish the martial arts of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, slightly losing their literary talent, Tang Zongsong and Song Dynasty
Ancestor, a little less coquettish, a generation of genius, Yelu Abaoji, only knows how to bend a bow and shoot big eagles... To count the romantic figures, look at the present day."
Originally, Genghis Khan was the leader of the generation of future generations, but Genghis Khan had not yet been born, so Wu Dong changed Genghis Khan to "Yelu Abaoji". This Yelu Abaoji was the founding emperor of the Liao Kingdom, a man of great talent and broad strategy, and a leader in southern China.
He conquered the Northern War, unified all parts of Khitan, established the Liao Dynasty, and ruled the north for 200 years. He can be called Wanyan Aguda, the first foreign hero before Genghis Khan. He was brave and good at shooting cavalry, and was said to be able to shoot big eagles with his bow.
There are no errors either.
After this poem was written, the ministers praised it one after another, and some were even shocked. Wu Dong smiled slightly. This is a term for the leaders of later generations, so it is not bad. It is full of contempt for the kings of previous dynasties, but it is
It is in line with his current state of mind. He feels that the country he will create will be far superior to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and will create a prosperous age that China has never seen before.
That night, Wu Dong held a banquet for all the ministers! Officials of all sizes in Yanjing City participated in the banquet. In addition, three envoys from the Song Dynasty also participated in the banquet, including Yang Shi who had also arrived!
At the banquet, Yang Shi stared at Wu Dong coldly, wishing to swallow Wu Dong.
Wu Dong toasted everyone at the table. When Wu Dong came to Yang Shi to toast, he suddenly got angry.
