On the first day of September, the founding day of the Western Qin Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the morning, there is a worship to the heavens and ancestors, and it is not necessary for kings and envoys of various countries to participate. In the morning, the civil and military officials of the Western Qin Dynasty gathered in Taiji Square, the civil officials lined up to stand on the left side, the military generals lined up to stand on the right side, Zhao Ziliang and all the members of the royal family also appeared on the Taiji Square, under the auspices of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Ziliang took the royal family members and the civil and military ministers together through the square, through the Xuanwu Fort into the palace, along the way sometimes solemn, sometimes cheerful drums and music played non-stop.

After today's royal palace, the long procession walked around the garrison of the guard barracks and walked to the top of the mountain through a passage on the side that led to the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain.

It was originally an extremely boring and boring thing to have been greeted by all the civil and military generals beforehand, and to maintain the discipline of the ceremony, no one was allowed to talk to each other at will, no one was allowed to make a sound on purpose, and everyone had to remain solemn and serious, which was originally an extremely boring and tasteless thing, but because there was always a drum band, different styles of drum music made the atmosphere less dull.

In order to take care of the old and infirm officials, Zhao Ziliang, who walked in front, walked very slowly, but very powerfully, which allowed the civilian and military generals behind to always follow him.

It took half an hour for the heavenly worship procession to finally climb to the Temple of Heaven at the top of the mountain. The Temple of Heaven sits on a flat ground at the top of a hill and has a magnificent temple, with the Jongmyo Temple to the east and the Gogokuden Hall to the west. The Imperial Palace is at the highest point of the entire palace, and it is also the place where Zhao Ziliang receives ministers and foreign envoys, but Zhao Ziliang does not come here often, after all, it is too high, and it is built at the highest place to show the royal power to the world, sitting in this palace and overlooking all living beings!

There is a tall wall separating the Imperial Hall from the Temple of Heaven, and there is a small gate in the middle, and no one except Zhao Ziliang can enter the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Heaven through this small gate from the palace area.

Zhao Ziliang led all the civil and military officials into the vault hall of the Temple of Heaven and stood facing the gods of heaven and earth, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites took out a volume of sacrificial texts, bent over and presented them to Zhao Ziliang with both hands, and said loudly: "Please read out the proclamation of the sacrifice."

This is written by the ministers after a long time of consideration, and it is an extremely formal and formal sacrificial text, and Zhao Ziliang read it word by word according to the book: "?????? Now the West Qin State is established, and the gods and goddesses of heaven and earth are hereby set up to worship incense, and the gods of heaven and earth are invited to bless me with the wind and rain in the West Qin, the people are healthy, and the country is strong and the people are rich! ”

A long sacrificial text was read for half an hour, Zhao Ziliang's mouth was numb before he finished reading, when the sacrificial text was set on fire by the master of ceremonies and incinerated by the master of ceremonies, the civil and military officials followed Zhao Ziliang to kneel down and perform the great gift of three kneels and nine knocks.

Next, an old man of the Zhao family stepped forward under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, took out a volume of documents and began to read it, which was to the effect that on behalf of all the civil officials, military generals and people of Western Qin, they would respect Zhao Ziliang as the king of Western Qin with the will of heaven and earth, and swore allegiance to the king and the royal family, and also warned Zhao Ziliang that since he was the king, he had to bear the responsibility of being the lord of a country, asking for his life for all the people in the world, seeking well-being for the people of Western Qin, and protecting the people of Western Qin from being bullied by foreign enemies.

At the beginning of the coronation ceremony, the master of ceremonies beckoned, several waiters lined up in a row and walked over with a tray, Zhao Ziliang stepped forward and stood at the top to face the officials, ministers, and generals with open arms, and the two eunuchs took off the golden robe from the first tray and put it on Zhao Ziliang.

After discussion between Zhao Ziliang and the ministers and officials, it was decided to adopt gold as the most noble color of Western Qin, because Western Qin is located in the west of the Central Plains, and the west belongs to gold, so gold is the most noble, and only the king and the crown prince are eligible to wear golden clothes and crowns, and it is stipulated that the royal robe is embroidered with a tiger, and the crown prince's robe is embroidered with a milk tiger.

After the royal robe was put on, several eunuchs brought a throne, Zhao Ziliang sat down, let the eunuchs change into golden boots, and then stood up, and the clan elders took a beautiful crown made of pure gold and inlaid with diamonds, jade, red sapphires, pearl agate, etc., and put it on the top of Zhao Ziliang's head.

After the coronation ceremony was completed, the civil and military ministers knelt down again and shouted to Zhao Ziliang: "See the king!" We swear: This takes effect to be loyal to the king, loyal to the Western Qin, assist the king to benefit the people, resist foreign humiliation, crusade against the unsubordinate, and be unswerving! If anyone violates the oath, heaven and earth will be destroyed! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Today, you and the subjects of the world regard me as the king of Western Qin, and I will assume the responsibility of the king, and do my best to make the people live a rich, peaceful and healthy life!" I will do my best to lead the warriors of the Western Qin Dynasty to resist foreign insults, conquer enemies and rebellions, and maintain the dignity of the Western Qin state; It is necessary to let talented people display their ambitions, let children have books to read, let farmers have fields, and let workers have jobs; I will be diligent in government affairs, self-denial and public service, make politics clear, let aspiring and talented officials be promoted, get close to virtuous and loyal ministers, and stay away from incompetent, talentless, and virtuous villains.

"Today, I have made three chapters with my ministers, officials, and generals: First, the interests of the kingdom are above all else at all times! No matter how powerful the internal strife and dumping are, but in the face of external enemies, everyone must put aside their prejudices, unite together, and work together to the outside world! No one is allowed to collude with foreign enemies to betray the interests of Western Qin at any time because of power struggles and selfish interests, otherwise he will be a sinner of Western Qin and will be spurned by the whole world! At any time, in the face of foreign enemies, I, Xiqin, will not pay compensation, will not cede land, and will not be a vassal. In the future, if the descendants of this king have the act of ceding land and paying compensation to foreign enemies, he is not worthy of being the descendants of this king, and the whole world will punish him! ”

"Second, there are three kinds of people who deserve the respect of people of all nations and races, ancient and modern, of all nations and races, namely, the Warrior, the Virtuous, and the Loyal! I, Zhao Ziliang, may not be able to be a person of high moral character in my life, but I consider myself a warrior, and I always ask myself to be a loyal person, because I want to be respected, and I don't want to be spurned! I have always been a minister of the Tang Dynasty, I was, I am, and I will be in the future! I can't control what happens after I die, but as long as I live for a long time, I will never be called emperor! ”

"Thirdly, in terms of the succession to the throne, in order to ensure the smooth replacement and transfer of rights after the death of the king and the successors of the previous generations, so as not to make the political situation in the Western Qin chaotic, social turmoil, and not to give the enemy country a chance, the king decided to legislate the inheritance of the throne, and ensure that its inheritance method will not be changed at will by law, and the throne will adopt the law of succession, and after the death of the king, if the eldest son of the king does not make a mistake, the eldest son of the king will succeed to the throne in order, and if the eldest son of the king dies after inheriting the throne, His eldest son, who has reached the age of sixteen, inherits the throne, and if the eldest son is not yet sixteen years old at the time of his death, and the eldest son inherits the throne because he is too young to govern, the first king may leave an edict before his death to designate a temporary regent of a royal uncle, and then govern himself after the king reaches the age of sixteen. The president and deputy court of the Military Aircraft Academy are jointly electing an uncle Wang to temporarily regent the government, and when the king reaches the age of 16, he will return the military and political power, and he will govern in person. If the first king dies and there is no male to succeed to the throne, the throne will be inherited by the eldest brother, if the first king has neither male heirs nor brothers, the throne will be inherited by the eldest uncle, and so on. Children of the royal family who have made mistakes and are imprisoned have no right to inherit the throne. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the law on the succession to the throne, the king decided that the succession to the throne will be presided over by Soshoji Temple, and the ministers of government, justice, supervision and military will jointly supervise it! The specific provisions and terms of the law of succession will be agreed in detail with the ministers! ”

The ministers and generals shouted together: "The ministers swear to abide by today's agreement, and those who come after them will also abide by it!" ”

It was already noon after the end of the worship to the heavens and the temple, and Zhao Ziliang, members of the royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs came down from the top of the mountain for lunch, and lunch was arranged in the side hall of the Liangyi Hall of the palace.

After noon, the founding celebration officially began, more than 100,000 people gathered around Taiji Square and on both sides of Wangcheng Avenue in front of Xuanwu Fort, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the Western Qin Dynasty lined up in a neat phalanx on Wangcheng Avenue waiting for review. The surrounding rooftops and everywhere were covered with the flag of the Western Qin Dynasty.

The invited monarchs and envoys were invited to the palace 30 meters on the wall to watch the ceremony, they sat on the left and right sides of the palace wall of Xuanwu Fort, Zhao Ziliang took the royal family members and civil and military ministers to the top floor of Xuanwu Fort, hundreds of people on Taiji Square saw his voice, and suddenly a tsunami-like shout came, and the sound was like waves one after another.

After a long time, Zhao Ziliang raised his arms, and the whistling immediately stopped, Zhao Ziliang let go of his voice and said loudly: "The people, officials, soldiers, and guests of all countries in Western Qin, this king announces that the Kingdom of Western Qin will be officially established from now on!" ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Long live the king!"

People involuntarily knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Xuanwu Fort, where Zhao Ziliang was.

After a burst of drum music, the scene quieted down, and Zhao Ziliang said loudly: "The eldest lady Chen is the queen of the East Palace, the second lady Nie is the concubine of the West Palace, the third lady Meng is the concubine of the South Palace, the fourth lady of the Li family, Princess Xinping of the Li family is the concubine of the North Palace, and the fifth lady Wang is the concubine of the Waterfall Palace!" ”

Several women bowed down one after another, and the sound of the mountain shouting and tsunami of the people below came again.

Zhao Ziliang then gave several princes titles, so he did not call the emperor, only the king, so he could only give his sons the title, the eldest prince Zhao Lei was named Dawan Jun, the third prince Zhao Ting was named Guishan Jun and so on, and the daughters each got the title of county lord.
