Chapter 1068: Crown Ceremony

At the end of the Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago, the environment was not polluted, and this day was a rare sunny day, the sun was shining, bringing some warmth to the cold Jicheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This land is being ruled by a supreme king. And the crown of the prince symbolizes the continuation of the king's rule. The ceremony of endless majesty is being held in the "Tang Palace", the center of power in this land.

Outside the palace are tens of thousands of fearless and powerful warriors of the Tang Army, who will achieve brilliant victories again and again for their king.

In the palace, civil and military officials gathered, prostrated and bowed, they were the executors of the king's will, and the king's edict would be distributed to the world by them.

After the four prostrations, the music stopped for a while. After the hundred officials returned to the throne, Zhengbin Cai Yong trembled and walked to the throne ladder to stand still, Lao Cai Yong's mood was excited, and the thoughts in his heart kept surging: "My grandson is crowned and an adult." In the future, he will also become an emperor like my son-in-law. ”

Zanbin Zheng Xuan walked up to Cai Yong and stood still, his eyes were wise and lofty: "This land is about to usher in a new era, the era of King Tang." And Wang Shizi is a continuation of this era. The prosperity of the country and the nation is the most important thing. ”

The civil officials trembled with excitement, the generals clenched their fists, and the crowning of the prince of the king was a continuation of the reign of the Tang king, and it was also a continuation of their struggle. It is that everyone has desires, and as civil and military officials standing on the heights of this era, their desires are stronger than ordinary people. After all, ordinary people are more worried about how to eat and clothe, while these civil and military officials think more about the future of themselves and their families. Their fate has been tied to the king of Tang, and now the crown of the prince of Tang means that there is a successor to the king of Tang, and their future is guaranteed. This is what they value most, after all, if there is no future, what is the difference between people and the walking dead?

After Binzan was in place, the East Palace official and the Tang Kingdom Taichang Wang Lang, holding the will of the Tang King Li Yi came to the East Palace on the side, and the prince Li Yan had been waiting here for a long time, and under their guidance he went to the main hall of the Zongmiao and bowed to the crown ceremony. Serve all the people in the back, stand behind them.

When Li Yan entered the palace, he was full of music, and the fifteen-year-old Li Yansheng was taller than ordinary peers, with a seven-foot body, almost the same as an adult.

Li Yan's mood was agitated at the moment, although he was designated as the heir of his father Li Yi early, but after all, it was only a tacit understanding in private, and it was not determined by a formal ceremony.

Now it is different, and his father only crowns him alone, which is to formally determine the identity of his heir. After all, he has two younger brothers, that is, they are only two or three days younger than him, and they can also perform the crown salute at this time.

Li Yi looked at his eldest son, as if he saw himself when he was a teenager, and his praise was beyond words.

When Li Yanmian was in place, the music stopped. At this time, the inner attendant knelt in the golden basin of clean hands, and Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan put the "wat" in their waists to wash their hands. This "wat" is the hand board held by the ancient ministers, made of jade, ivory or bamboo, and can be remembered. After wiping your hands with brocade, take the "wat" in your hand.

After that, it will enter the most important part of the crown ceremony, crowning.

Li Yi's fourth son, Li Jing, first presented a net towel, and the eleven-year-old had a red face due to excitement, and his expression was solemn, and the appearance of the little adult was very delicate.

Cai Yong took the scarf and held it in his hand, Zheng Xuan followed, and the two came to the seat of the prince.

Zheng Xuan offered a congratulatory speech: "It is only an auspicious day, and it is crowned as an adult." Kedun filial piety, Fu Lu Lai. ”

Li Yan looked ahead, his expression was solemn, his hands were stacked in front of his forehead, and the standard Shizili bowed ninety degrees.

Cai Yong fell to his knees. Bring him a scarf crown. At this time, Zheng Xuan knelt beside Li Yan and crowned him. Then, Cai Yong got up first and looked at his grandson, his eyes full of kindness. Zheng Xuan then got up and stood behind Cai Yong.

The inner attendant entered the adult prince's clothes, and Li Yan got up and put them on his body.

Subsequently, Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan worshiped Li Yan again, and Li Yan sat down again. After Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan washed their hands again, Zheng Xuan knelt in front of the prince's seat again, took off the scarf crown for Li Yan, and got up and handed it to the chamberlain.

At this time, Li Yi's third son, Li Mu, presented the Yuanyou Crown.

In the music, just like the previous ceremony, Zheng Xuan gave a congratulatory speech: "The crown is lifted, and the guest is virtuous." Respect for prudence and majesty, the rule of the people. ”

After that, there is the third plus, and the most important one, the crown of the world. Everything is as in the previous two ceremonies, Zheng Xuan said: "The crown is three plus, and the order is to take the chapter." In matters of worship, the state will be fixed forever. ”

Cai Yong brought the crown of the son of the world for his grandson, inserted a hairpin to fix it, and put on the crown of the son of the world for the inner servant.

At this time, the music stopped temporarily, and Wang Lang hurriedly guided Li Yan to the foot of the Tang throne, and Li Yan knelt down to worship his father Li Yi.

Li Yi was very happy and ordered him to get up.

In the music, the attendants were at the foot of Li Yi's throne stairs, and the chamberlain added a seat for the prince, and Li Yan sat down facing south. It symbolizes that Li Yan can enter the court to participate in politics under his father.

The inner attendant sang the promise, and the hundred officials officially met with Wang Shizi, who was an adult director.

After that, Binzan washed his hands again, and Zheng Xuan took out the "Jue", which is a three-legged drinking container, filled it with wine and handed it to Cai Yong, who knelt down and presented it to Li Yan. After Li Yan got up and took it, he first drank some to himself, and then sprinkled the Dian Jue.

Zheng Xuanzhu said: "The wine is recommended, and the fragrance is fragrant." Received by Zijingfu, Baishi Qichang. ”

After that, there is the inner servant, that is, the one who eats. Gui is a utensil used in ancient China in rituals, feasts, funerals and conquests, and its specifications have strict hierarchical restrictions to indicate the status, identity, and power of the user. Here "Gui" is used, and the example is the same feast.

Li Yan pouted some rice with "Gui" and ate it, and then Zheng Xuan congratulated him: "Filial piety is to your relatives, and friends are to your brothers." Loving the people, courtesy and righteousness. No overflow, no pride, always keep rich. ”

After Jue and the food withdrew, Li Yan attended to worship his father, Li Yi, and then returned to the East Palace. Without Li Yi present, Li Yan is Jun. When he returned to the East Palace, he accepted the visit of the officials of the East Palace in a separate situation.

After the ceremony, Li Yi summoned him. The prince Li Yan re-entered the main hall of the Zongmiao, visited Li Yi, and swore an oath: "The minister is not sensitive, and he dares not to accept it." ”

What this means is that the son's ability cannot be compared with that of his father, and he will definitely inherit everything that his father has set in the future, and he will never dare to change it.

Successive generations of heirs have to make such an oath in front of the world, which is the origin of the ancient ancestral system. The ancestral system is very strong, and Liu Luoguo knelt down to listen to the reading of the Holy Ancestor's precepts, even if Lord Qianlong played with his concubine to the last moment, he had to quickly get up and kneel down to listen. Whoever dares not to listen to the ancestral system will be opposed by the whole world, and whoever will not be qualified to be the emperor.

However, Li Yi did not have this fetters, because he was the first emperor, and what he established was the ancestral system, even if it was another 10,000 years, Li Yi's descendants would have to obey it. There is no way, the Holy Ancestor First Emperor is strong, and that is the benchmark for future generations to admire. Qianlong didn't dare to be the emperor for more time than Kangxi, which can be seen.

When the ceremony came here, Li Yi got up and gave Li Yan the word south. The south is for fire, and it is for fire. Of course, this is also related to one thing that Li Yi is thinking about now, that is, to eliminate Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who were separating the south, as soon as possible and realize the unification of the world.

After Li Yi gave Li Yan the words, he ordered Li Yan to visit Princess Cai Yan, and today's matter is over.

The crown ceremony of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, after the news spread, the whole world celebrated. Gongs and drums are noisy all over the world, crowds of people, red flags are displayed, and songs and dances are carried out. That is, there are no fireworks in the Han Dynasty, otherwise the PM2.5 in the entire Han Dynasty will soar a lot during this time. However, there are a lot of firecrackers set off by the people, so the bamboo forest of the Han Dynasty is a bad disaster.

The next day, Li Yi led his wife and children to the temple again to worship the ancestors of the old Li family.

Although Li Yi worships the ancestors of this time and space, what Li Yi thinks about is his parents and relatives in another time and space.

"Father, mother, son may never see you again, but my son is living well in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he gave birth to a large number of grandchildren and granddaughters for you, but unfortunately you can't see it. You must live well in the other world, if my younger brothers and sisters are not filial, see if the lonely king does not wear them and go back to clean them up......"

Thinking of his relatives in another world, Li Yi couldn't help but cry secretly.

At the same time, there was another person who was also crying, that is, Li Yi's other princess, Liu Jing, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

Things have developed to this point, and Liu Jing knows very well that it is a matter of time before the Tang dynasty replaces the Han dynasty. Although she understands that the change of dynasty is inevitable, thinking that the Liu family's country is about to end in the hands of her younger brother, Liu Jing's heart is still very sad, even if it is her husband who replaces the Liu family.

Although Li Yi's behavior has long shown that his future heir is his eldest son Li Yan, Liu Jing has always had an expectation in her heart, that is, her son Li Jing can become the son, because she is also a princess, and her son is also Li Yi's son-in-law.

Moreover, if Li Yi establishes Li Jing as the prince, there will be a lot less resistance when he replaces the Han family in the future, after all, Li Jing also has half of the Liu family's bloodline.

However, now that Li Yi has officially established Li Yan as his son, Liu Jing knows that his son has no hope of inheriting the Tang family. First, her husband Li Yi is in his prime, and he must have decades to live, and with her husband's current influence, it is enough to escort Li Yan; Second, Li Yan's child is indeed very good, although her son Li Jing is also very good, but under the identity of Li Yanyan's eldest son, Li Jing's position is a little insufficient.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, Liu Jing did not intend to stop her husband. First, she doesn't have the ability to stop it, and second, as a woman who is married to Li Yi, Li Yi is everything to hers, and she can't oppose her husband.

In the twelve years since marrying Li Yi, Liu Jing has learned a lot of things, she knows that after four hundred years of development, the Han family has been decayed to the extreme, even if there is no husband Li Yi, there will be other people who will appear and seize the Liu family.

If that happens, the result will be even worse for Liu. After all, she knows her husband's character, even if he replaces the Liu clan in the future, he will not be too embarrassed by the Liu clan. But if it were someone else, the result would be hard to say.
