Xu Jie looked for Shen Mo, in addition to these things between teachers and students, there was also a business matter, and ordered him to prepare for the new monarch's 'enthronement ceremony'.

Although the bones of Emperor Daxing are not cold, the family cannot be without an owner for a day, and the country cannot be without a king for a day; Although after the edict was read, the ministers called the new monarch 'emperor', but after all, they had not officially ascended to the pole, and the name did not speak for themselves. Therefore, the political reality urgently requires the new monarch, who is still immersed in the pain of 'losing his father', to officially ascend the throne as soon as possible.

The convention is that as soon as the first seven emperors are completed, the Ministry of Rites will begin to prepare for the ceremony, because Gao Gong and Li Chunfang entered the cabinet at the same time, and now the biggest official in the ministry is Shen Mo, the left attendant in the sick leave, so it is natural to give him this errand. And it's good for him...... This errand cannot be underestimated, the orthodox dynasty is used to govern the country, nothing more than morality, and courtesy. The emperor's gift is the most solemn embodiment of the ceremony, and the ascending ceremony is the first ceremony of the dynasty, and it is the palm of Shangshu himself. As long as this errand is done well silently, in the minds of the hundred officials, he is the best candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the road to the top will be smooth.

After accepting the appointment, Shen Mo immediately entered the state, and that night he drew up a detailed work plan according to the "Huidian", and set the "Persuasion Ritual Note" according to the "Huidian", requesting the heir to take the throne as soon as possible, and proposed to attach another "Enthronement Ceremony Note" with Shu...... Give a detailed explanation of the matters that the new monarch should pay attention to next.

The next morning, he handed over the two songs, so that there was no need to cry and mourn. went straight to the duty room on the west side of the noon gate, and ordered someone to clean up a room, as a preparation office for the big ceremony, and a member of the department came to listen to the errand.

Silently ordered someone to send the Qin Tianjian to the Zheng Dynasty, so as to determine the auspicious day of the zodiac for the new monarch to ascend to the pole.

Qin Tianjian is Zhou Yande, and he will be there in a hurry...... During the state funeral, officials were all in the yamen to keep filial piety for the emperor, and they were not allowed to ask for leave, they were not allowed to go home, and it was convenient to send them.

Zhou Yande had long been looking at the yellow calendar and the stars at night, and he was optimistic about the day car, and as soon as Shen Butang asked, he told him that August 14 in three days would be a good day, and submitted the relevant documents. Silently read and saw that it was correct, and decided on this day, although the time is a little tight, but the ascending ceremony must be hurried, the longer it drags on, the more it seems that he is the supervisor**.

The date is set, but it can't be prepared immediately, and there is one of the most boring and tiresome scenes in the past, but it is tireless to be performed. On the one hand, he finalized some detailed rules with Yin Shizhan, the right attendant, and on the other hand, he raised orders to his subordinates. Although it has been almost two years since I left the Ministry of Rites, there have been a number of people in the Ministry. But Yin Shizhan is also an old man of Yudi, and most of the Langzhong below admire Shen Mo's name, so the left and right are like arms and fingers, and in the soft words, Shen Mo decomposes a complicated big errand into small errands. Then make these little errands clear to the people, so that everyone has their own role, and not too partially. Unconsciously, he eased everyone's nervousness, and Yin Shizhan couldn't help but admire, this person's administrative ability has indeed been perfected.

After assigning the task, he looked at Wang Qiming who came in silently: "Have you found all the persuasion people?" ”

"Lord Hui" Wang Qiming is a lot fatter than before, and he looks younger, but his obscene temperament has not changed, and he nodded and said with a smile: "It's all found, Shi Farmer, Worker and Filial Piety, more than 100 people are waiting outside the noon gate." ”

"You take them to practice first, and then Lord Yin and I will invite you nobles," said silently: "Time is pressing, don't slack off." ”

Wang Qiming responded and retreated.

Shen Mo and Yin Shizhan took the prepared list, went to the filial piety of the princes of the Zongren Mansion, and invited more than a dozen princes and uncles such as Chengguo Gong, Yingwu Hou, and Qinghebo, and asked them to be the representatives of the ministers and lead the people to represent the table. This is the persuasion of the above table that is often performed in history, that is, the petition group composed of these princes, uncles, horses, scholars, peasants, workers, and filial piety elders, went to the noon gate to ask the emperor to ascend the throne.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a short practice, the next day, the officials of the Ministry of Rites instructed the group to come to the Huiji Gate located on Chaozhong Road outside the Forbidden City and on the east side of the Taihe Gate to express their persuasion.

The emperor received the "Persuasion Table", and also replied according to the etiquette, and the celebrant read it out at the Huiji Gate, **: "Reading the note of the house, with the intention of seeing the Qing and other worries about the country, taking care of the grief and the matter of maintaining the unity, how can I bear to hear it, and I am not allowed." "Meaning, I appreciate your kindness, but I just died of my father, and my heart is aching, how can I be in the mood to discuss the matter of ascending the throne, so please go back.

The silence that was watching coldly on the side couldn't help but wonder if everyone dispersed like this, would the emperor inside go crazy. On second thought, it's impossible to go crazy, but I'm definitely going to be unlucky. Then he hurriedly said: "The new monarch is filial, but the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, I have to invite again!" So I went into the table again, and was returned by Xinjun, this time because I felt that I was not competent, so I still couldn't promise everyone.

At this time, the play between the minister and the people was finished, and Shen Mo led the civil and military officials to enter the Jimen, and the upper hall was invited to enter again. It is still the face of the hundred officials, and the emperor who is still immersed in the pain of losing his father is finally invited to come out, and listen to the reading of the third profound and difficult "Persuasion Table" offered by the hundred officials. This time, the new monarch did not refuse, but summoned the ministers of the cabinet, the five ministries, and the six ministries into the palace, discussed them carefully, and then issued an edict according to the cabinet vote:

'Qing and other contract statements are related to Lan, and they are only loyal. The heavenly position is heavy, it is difficult to deal with sincerity, and the situation is in the line, so I dare not be stubborn, and I reluctantly obey what I am invited. ’

So the ministers shouted long live to celebrate that the Ming Dynasty had a new lord; Qin Tianjian is out of class, and it will be an auspicious day after two days of playing; The new monarch thought it was too fast, and the ministers persuaded His Majesty to ascend to the pole as soon as possible, and the new monarch reluctantly agreed.

The day must come down, everyone will go back to change their clothes, and wait to participate in the ceremony, but the busy dagger workload of forgetting to sleep and eat is very terrifying, and it will take two days to prepare tens of thousands of items from the throne, the case, the cloud disk, the cloud cover, the small to the incense, candles, fruits, yellow paper, gold thread, etc., and place them in the corresponding places. At this time, the celebrant also joined in, and without the help of these practitioners, he could not have imagined that these things could be put together in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, Ma Sen and Huang Jin had a good relationship with Shen Mo, did not shirk the blame, and the inner and outer courts cooperated closely, and prepared intensively for two days and nights, and finally got off the cattle on the 13th. Then the priest set up a throne overnight in the Zhongji Hall, which is the place where the new monarch rests before the ceremony begins, so it can be simpler.

The main ceremony was naturally held in the Huangji Hall, the first of the three major halls, and was arranged by each yamen...... The department shall set up a superintendent and set up a throne; Shang Bao Division set up a treasure case, Jinyi Wei set up a cloud disk, cloud cover in the east of the palace; Hongbei Temple set up a table outside the hall of the Dan Majesty, the Department of Teaching and Workshop arranged, and the Shao Le, on both sides of the Dan Majesty...... But this 100-piece band is only set up and doesn't really play. During the whole ceremony, their task was to stand silently and act as decorations.

The new king's ascension to the throne is a great gift of the country, and it should be solemnly held, but during the period of great mourning, it is necessary to show mourning, and the way to compromise is to be both solemn and solemn...... This silent band is the embodiment of this compromise.

In addition, it is necessary to set up a reading case and a cloud cover on the Chengtian Gate, and set up a cloud outside the noon gate...... As for the details, the furnishings are too complicated, and they are not pressed. In addition to supervising the layout of the venue, Shen Mo was also responsible for organizing hundreds of officials and participants in the hall to conduct rehearsals and drills overnight to ensure that the ceremony was carried out smoothly and without fail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the second day, the new monarch sent four cabinet ministers to the northern and southern suburbs, Taimiao, and Sheji altar to pay respects. He himself, accompanied by Shen Mo, came to his father's Zhanggong Palace, performed four sheng salutes, silently read the blessings for the new monarch, burned them to tell the first emperor, and then the new monarch performed four more bows and completed the order.

At this time, the new monarch can finally take off his stinky filial piety clothes and put on the most solemn crown tea...... That is, the kind that Jiajing wore ten days ago, of course, is brand new.

It is said that this is also the first time that Zhu Zaiyuan has put on the emperor's clothes, and for the past ten days, he has been wearing linen and filial piety, holding a filial piety cane, which is similar to asking for food.

Shen Mo also changed into a dark sacrificial robe, and looked at the new monarch with a grand appearance, which made people dare not force his eyes, so he smiled and asked, "How does Your Majesty feel?" “

Zhu Zaiyuan thought for a while and replied, "Depressed." "This is the truth, among the emperor's clothing, this set of crown accessories has the most, and it is heavy and complicated to wear, and it must not be comfortable.

Silent and dumbfounded, he persuaded softly: "It's good to bear with it, I usually don't wear such cumbersome clothes." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan nodded and asked, "What are you doing next?" ”

"What's next......" Shen Mo was already familiar with the process, but he didn't dare to say it to Zhu Zaiyuan, for fear that the emperor with a weak physique would faint directly, so he said vaguely: "Follow the process, it may be a little hard." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan didn't ask again, under the guidance of silence, he came to the front of His Majesty Dan in the Huangji Palace, where the incense case had already been placed, Zhu Zaiyuan knelt in front of the case, and bowed five times and three kowtows to the old heavens; Then go to the temple of the ancestors and bow five times and three times to the ancestors; Then to the emperor a few feasts, five bows and three knocks; To the temple of mercy, five bows and three knocks; Before the feast of the Empress Dowager, five bows and three knocks; Go back to Emperor Daxing a few feasts ago, bow five times and knock three times...... Thirty-five bows and twenty-one knocks in a row, knocking Zhu Zai to a dizziness, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"Lian Kuai can't hold on?" Zhu Zaiyuan's face turned pale, and he looked at Shen Mo in despair and said, "If you continue to worship, you have to let my son succeed to the throne." ”

"On the day of great joy, what did the emperor say?" He smiled silently and comfortingly: "There is the last one, which was arranged by Wei Chen, after you worshipped, Ken An was refreshed."

"Uh......" couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, Zhu Zaiyuan came to a palace room on the edge of the Zhanggong Palace with the support of Huang Jin, only to see that there was also a few feasts here, through the smoke and smoke, he saw that on it, there was a tablet of his biological mother Du Kangfei.

Zhu Zaiyuan's body froze suddenly, broke free from Huang Jin's support, and cried bitterly in front of the tablet: "Mother, mother, the child can finally come to see you justifiably, and finally no one can bully our mother......" Different from the fake sadness before, Zhu Zaiyuan really cried this time, and the people on the side persuaded him several times before he gradually stopped crying.

After being picked up, Zhu Zaiyuan cast a grateful look at Shen Mo and said in a low voice: "Thank you for still thinking about my mother." “

"Willing to help." He smiled silently and said, "Your Majesty, you can go to the Middle Pole Hall to rest for a while." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In front of the Imperial Palace, the sky was still not bright, and the Han generals of the Jinyi Guard came to the Dan Majesty and Dan Grip in front of the palace...... That is, the stairs and the open space in front of the stairs are set up with a halogen book...... That is, the emperor's chariot, guards and honor guards, including the five paths, various flags, covers, fans, as well as elephants, tigers, leopards, horses, etc., are all put out to show the imperial atmosphere.

These people and things have just been arranged, the auspicious time comes, the bells and drums on the bell and drum tower are ringing in unison, the noon door is opened, the left and right doors are opened, and the hundred officials also get rid of the mourning clothes, wear dark sacrificial clothes, and enter from the two gates, and train according to the shift on the Dan Block.

Then Honglu Siqing guided the various people who performed the tasks in the ceremony...... Including pilots, instructors, and officials; Tongzan, praise and other officials; officials such as class and ceremonies; and all kinds of officials, all kinds of generals, guards, and chamberlains; The brocade guards who are responsible for the whipping, the guard of honor, the brocade guard, and those who can be called the silent. These people are collectively referred to as the deacons, with a nose of 100 people, who came to the middle hall and saluted the emperor.

After the ceremony, they went back to their original errands, and after they were in place, they silently invited the emperor to ascend to the palace, so the guard of honor led Zhu Zaigao out of the middle door, and the emperor was in the palace. When the emperor sat down, the brocade guard sounded the whip nine times, the Han general rolled up the curtains, and the Hongji Siqing sang: "A hundred officials salute." “

So more than 1,000 officials on the Danbu in front of the hall will bow down and bow five times and bow three times...... No wonder there is no band accompaniment.

After the ceremony was over, the hundred officials rushed out and returned to Fengtian Gate to wait.

On the Fengtian Palace, the scholar Xu Jie, presented the "Edict of Dengji", and Zhu Zaiyuan took a symbolic look, and then the celebrant used the emperor's treasure seal and returned it to Xu Jie. Then Honglu Temple Qing played the edict to issue an edict, after the quasi-performance, Xu Ge veteran Dengji edict handed over to Shen Mo, Shen Mo held the edict with both hands, with a solemn expression, from the left door out of the Huangji Palace, through the Fengtian Gate, Jinshui Bridge, out of the noon gate, to the front of the Yunyu, the edict was placed on the public opinion upright.

At this time, the chief supervisor of ceremonies had been waiting for a long time, and then read out the "Longqing Dengji Edict" on the Fengtian Gate, and the general spirit of the edict was in the same vein as the "Jiajing Edict", which was nothing more than the extension and concretization of the content of the "Edict", in fact, it was under the banner of Jiajing to oppose the Jiajing government. The other is amnesty; The people of the age and the lonely and helpless are given silk and rice...... In short, it means that the world is more beginning, and all people celebrate together.

In addition, Concubine Du Kang was posthumously crowned as the queen mother and buried in Yongling; Next year, the Yuan Longqing, etc., these are the due meaning of the edict, and there is no need to repeat them.

After the edict was read, Baiguanshan shouted long live, long live. The ascent ceremony was completed, and the whole process was short and solemn, and the conflict between celebration and grief was properly resolved...... There are few ceremonies, which ensures respect for the emperor; But every step taken was incomparably grand, and it was just right to celebrate the new monarch's accession to the throne, and the designer took great pains.

Seeing the end of the ceremony, the hundred officials dispersed, and Shen Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the whole ceremony was quite successful, and his two knives were not embarrassed.

Because the twenty-seven days of mourning were just over halfway through, there was no banquet, and the officials could not go home, including the emperor, all the people who participated in the ceremony obediently took off their dresses, changed into mourning clothes, and continued to keep a vigil for the emperor of Daxing.

But silence is an exception, because he has to work non-stop, preparing for the funeral of Emperor Daxing, but this is much easier than the Dengji ceremony, and he prepared slowly for half a month, on the first day of the ninth month, the first emperor went out of the funeral, and Emperor Longqing and hundreds of officials together sent Jiajing's corpse to Tianshou Mountain Yongling for burial.

Looking at the slow closing of the gate of the underground palace, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent Emperor Jiajing, who had tossed the Ming Dynasty for forty-five years, completely away.

Looking at the young Emperor Longqing, thinking of his reputation of generosity and courtesy, endless hope rose in everyone's hearts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the way back to Beijing, Longqing issued three edicts, one of which was that during the mourning period, the hundred officials were tired, and they were allowed to rest for seven days; second, to immediately release Hai Jui; Third, dismantle the Yuzhi altar, the two views, and the West Garden! Cut Taoist architecture.

After receiving the order, the auxiliary ministers looked at each other. The emperor's Taoism is still too tender, and he can't hide from their fiery eyes - the first piece of music is that Emperor Longqing himself is tired and wants to rest for a few days, everyone knows that he has always been weak, so he won't say anything. But he demanded that Hai Rui be released immediately, and it was a little inappropriate to demolish the Taoist altar. Although they are all in line with the spirit of the "Edict" and "Ascending the Edict", they are disrespectful to the first emperor after all. It should be proposed by his subordinates, and then the emperor, thinking about it painfully, and then, reluctantly, agreeing, this is a decent approach.

Like Long Qing, he couldn't wait to show his sleeves, but he vented his anger happily, but his deeds were almost close, and the whipping corpse "What do people in the world think of him?"

But after all, this is the first time that Xinjun has made an order, and it is not very good-looking to go back like that, so Xu Jie clapped and said: "Hai Rui can be released, but the Taoist Temple Altar is not in a hurry to dismantle ......" Everyone thought it was good.

………………………… Partition..............................

Ahem, everyone has seen it, the emperor is so busy with so many people, is it easy to hold a ceremony? What's more, the two of us are busy with the wedding ceremony, and the degree of collapse can be imagined. The wedding is approaching, there are more and more things, and I can't imagine that it will be a one, and today is another busy day, and I worked hard to write this chapter. But everyone in the history class is frantically begging for votes, and we are about to slide out of the top six again, seeing that everyone's support is about to go down the drain, the monk is so anxious that his mouth is bubbling. Please support me, even if it's a wedding gift for me. Hehe, it's so shameless...... R
