Chapter 799: The Ceremony of Claiming the King (Part II)
Finally waited until the end of the song and dance, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, this was really too offended, and then looked at the other officials, they all showed a relieved expression, obviously they all felt the same way as Gao Yuan. Only Old Man Tian opened his eyes, and looked left and right with a stunned look, completely "Why is this over, I haven't heard enough" meaning unfinished. It also provoked other people to look sideways.
After the sacrifice to heaven and earth, the sacrifice to the ancestors is over, and it is the official enthronement ceremony of the plateau, and at this time, almost two hours have passed since the beginning.
The group came to the Taihe Hall again, and the plateau sat on the throne in the middle, while the civil and military officials stood on both sides according to their shifts. Tian Xiaokai took out another scroll of wooden tablets and read it out in public. This is the edict of the plateau, to the effect that it is nothing more than what the destiny of heaven belongs to, and the area near Lingshou also frequently appears auspicious, what astronomical wonders, rare animals, of course, the plateau with the flint sky magic origin, but also become the special content of the big book, and the result is to prove that the plateau is absolutely reasonable to call the king, even necessary, if the plateau does not call the king, it will be a huge disaster and so on.
Yang Yang sprinkled, the pen is a thousand words, and the combination and dismantling the rhyme, Tian Laofu also read the tone wrongly, Lang Lang catchy, so the plateau feels much better than the song and dance listened to in the temple.
After Tian Xiaokai finished reading, Gao Yuan got up on the throne, turned to the back of the screen, and under the service of the two waiting women, put on the embroidered dragon king clothes, and put on the crown crown, and then turned back to the front of the screen, and Tian Xiaokai on behalf of the officials, the king seal to the plateau.
Gao Yuan took the big seal, then sat down on the throne again, put the big seal on the table, and the civil and military officials under the command of Tian Xiaokai, knelt down together, bowed to the plateau three times and bowed nine times to the monarch and minister, and said "Long life is boundless." ”
At this time, Gao Yuan had some feeling of being a king, so he stood up from the throne and learned the appearance of the emperor in the movies and television he had seen in another time and space, and said: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
The officials bowed again in thanksgiving, then got up, still standing in two shifts. The next step was to canonize the queen, and Tian Xiaokai changed a scroll of wooden tablets and read out the edict of the canonization queen.
After reading it, I saw Li Yinghong wearing a golden phoenix on his head, wearing a long skirt with red inlaid gold silk flowers, holding a shawl on his arm, and slowly walked in from outside the hall.
If it is on a general occasion, there is not much difference to be seen, but in this kind of strict and formal occasion, it is solemn and glamorous, but not demonic, and there is indeed a queen's demeanor.
And behind her, there were also two palace maids, holding skirts and shawls for her. The three of them stopped in front of the high platform, knelt down in front of the steps, and saluted the plateau. After getting up, Tian Zikai took the queen's seal and presented it to Li Yinghong.
After receiving the queen's seal, Li Yinghong also stepped on the high platform, sat beside the plateau, and accepted the congratulations of the civil and military officials.
At this time, Gao Yuan was officially crowned king, and then he announced the name of the country as "Han", and announced a series of systems, including customs, measurements, court and government affairs systems, and official positions.
In fact, these systems have been gradually promulgated before, but now they are only centralized and established as formal systems. However, due to the large number of preparations, it took more than half an hour to read it before it was finished. Of course, this kind of tiring work is so tiring that he does not have to work on the old master Tian, but his students do it for him.
Next, it was announced that the other concubines in the palace would be canonized, Lin Wenqing, Yun Yao, Geng Yanyu, Jian Wuji and others were also dressed up, went to the palace in turn, accepted their own canonization, and thanked Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong, everyone was naturally very happy, Bi Jing Among them, only Lin Wenqing was born in an official eunuch, and now he can become a concubine of a country, although it is only a side concubine and a partial concubine, but it can be regarded as getting ahead.
And because Chun Yu Zhongxiu has not officially married Gao Yuan, this canonization did not Chun Yu Zhongxiu. And Gao Yuan has no heirs now, although Luo Huan is Gao Yuan's adopted son, Gao Yuan still let him inherit Luo, so he only canonized the concubines of the harem.
Lin Wenqing, Yun Yao, Geng Yanyu, Jian Wuji and others thanked Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong again, and all went back to the harem, because only the main concubine was qualified to attend formal occasions such as court meetings, and other concubines could only attend informal occasions such as banquets, so after accepting the canonization, they all turned back to the harem and waited for a while to attend the banquet.
After sealing the harem, Gao Yuan began to reward civil and military officials.
Feng Ningqi is the prime minister of the cabinet and concurrently serves as the secretary of the ministry; Shen Shen is the cabinet minister, and concurrently serves as the secretary of the household department; Geng Zhong is a cabinet minister; concurrently serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites; Zhang Liang is a cabinet minister; concurrently serves as the secretary of the military department; Guo Chen is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Shaosi is the secretary of the Criminal Department. Although according to the official system formulated by the plateau, the cabinet ministers do not have to concurrently serve as the six secretaries, but now there is a shortage of manpower; Second, the new official system has just been implemented, and it will take some time to adapt to it, so for the time being, all four cabinet ministers will concurrently serve as a secretary, and this period of time will be temporarily passed.
Among the other officials, Feng Tian Xiaokai was the servant, Gongsun Long was the Great Honglu, Yan Zhong was the Inner Palace, Han Sheng was the Dali Temple, in charge of various departments, and Zhao Xuan was still the Jinyi Guard. And everyone is according to the rank of the official position, each has its own rank and in the army, Feng Yuan was elected as the general, in charge of the general's mansion, Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng, Sima Shang, Chen Shi, Zhong Sun Qi, A Ran Shi Qimo six people as the commander of the army. Ji Fengsun is the captain of the guard. And Luo Huan was named a commander of a thousand and served in the First Army.
Originally, the most suitable candidate to be the general was Sima Shang, but according to the military system, the general was mainly responsible for the management of military affairs, the formulation of battle plans, the deployment of troops, etc., and there was no need to personally lead the army to fight on the front line; Sima Shang is in the prime of life, and he still hopes that he can lead the army to fight on the front line, and now the Han State also needs Sima Shang to lead the army on the front line; And Yuan Xuan is already an old man over 60 years old, and he has deep qualifications, so it is not inappropriate for Yuan Xuan to be appointed as a general.
These were all important positions, and the other civil and military officials who had a place in the main hall also had their own rewards, at least promoted to the second level, and at the same time they were all very richly rewarded. Of course, officials who are not qualified to go to the temple also have rewards, but they are not announced in the main hall, but directly send official documents to individuals, and the rewards and goods are also directly sent to each person's house.
Although only the officials of the upper hall were rewarded, there were also one hundred and fifty or sixty people, and after all the rewards were completed, more than an hour passed, and it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. Gao Yuan then ordered a banquet to celebrate.
From early in the morning to now, it has been seven or eight hours of busy work, and this is still the result of Gao Yuan deleting some programs, otherwise it would have taken at least two hours to finish. And the officials followed the plateau, ran outside the city for most of the day, and then stood on the Taihe Hall for more than two hours, without eating or drinking, at this time they were all tired and hungry, and their legs were sore, so when they heard the plateau say that they were holding a banquet to celebrate, they couldn't help but feel refreshed, and they thought in their hearts: It's finally over.
Even Tian Zikai breathed a sigh of relief, all the ceremonies today were presided over by him, although the scenery was beautiful, but it was indeed very tired, because Tian Xiaokai was already an old man in his sixties, although he had been paying attention to the way of self-cultivation, but after all, age was not forgiving, and at this time he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he was secretly lucky in his heart, but fortunately, it was the plateau that cut some less important ceremonies, otherwise he really couldn't hold it out.
At this time, there was already a waiting table and a low couch to be put in the main hall, and at the same time, the maids also brought some tea and snacks, and the officials also took their seats, so they finally didn't have to stand anymore, and then hurriedly drank a cup of tea and ate some snacks to temporarily relieve their hunger and thirst, and secretly grateful to the plateau, and really thought about it. But after all, the officials still have correspondence, and they are all on the spot, and they do not eat nonsense, and suppress hunger, because this is not a meal, and the food and wine are still behind, if you are full now, and after a while, the good wine and good food will come up, but you will not be able to eat; Of course, eating is not the most important thing, and when the banquet starts for a while, it is inevitable to persuade each other to drink and toast, which is a big thing related to etiquette, and it should be leisurely.
Sure enough, not long after, the ladies came up again, removed the tea and snacks, and brought all kinds of wine and delicacies at the same time, and then all the concubines of the plateau and the harem also attended, and sat on the high platform, and the celebratory banquet officially began.
On the second day ―――――――――――――――― the dividing line ――――――――― dividing line, Gao Yuan immediately issued an edict, and the official document called Wang Jianguo, as well as the rewards for local officials, were transmitted to various places, and from then on, the Lingshou and Daijun areas were called Han Kingdom, and Gao Yuan was called Han Wang, and the army was also renamed Han Army.
At the same time, Gao Yuan also ordered that in Lingshou City, Daqing was celebrated for three days, and every household in the city was given three catties of meat, one catty of wine, and two hundred copper coins. And the soldiers stationed in Lingshou City have doubled, and now there are about eighty or ninety thousand households in Lingshou City, less than 100,000, and there are about 70,000 people in the army, more than half of them are ordinary people, such a reward can be worth one or two months' income of an ordinary family, so the people in Lingshou City are naturally very happy, and they can't help but praise the king for being virtuous and loving the people like a son.
Although the income of ordinary soldiers is higher than that of ordinary people, it is not much higher, and no one will be afraid of less money, not to mention that there are many soldiers who have been promoted, although they are still ordinary soldiers, but they already have the rank of becoming a brave lieutenant or a prestige lieutenant, so they are also equally happy.
The entire Lingshou City was also plunged into a festive and joyful atmosphere, and military and civilian officials were celebrating the success of the plateau as king.
