Chapter 100: Enthronement Ceremony

drank until the dawn of the heavenly general, Lu Qingfeng sent someone to escort Nan Ronglin back to the palace, everyone cleaned up their whole bodies neatly, Lu Qingfeng also changed into the white robe of the true disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, and walked out of the manor with his master Xu Rujun and his brothers.

Ling'er and Dahu also went with them, leaving Situ Xiaoyang's siblings, Leng Rubing, Lan Yin, and a few other brothers to guard the manor.

According to Lu Qingfeng's thoughts, the few people left behind also went to the palace, and simply let the manor go to the empty building, but Situ Xiaoyang said that he would not say anything, Lu Qingfeng had already become famous in the battle for Nan Ronglin's succession, and there would definitely be many remnants of the great prince's strength hidden in the shadows waiting for revenge, although there were not many valuables in the manor, but once it was razed to the ground, it was also a big blow to the mood.

Everyone crossed the Jinshui Bridge and came to the main gate of the palace, the army of the Prince of Freedom was guarding the palace, before, Lu Qingfeng had already passed down the edict that the people of the Qingyun Sword Sect must not be stopped, so everyone passed through the hall unimpeded.

It is really worthy of being the emperor's residence, everywhere shows nobility and luxury, everywhere is planted with precious trees that calm and concentrate, and the strange fragrance emitted makes people smell it, and suddenly feel relaxed and happy.

The ground is paved with the most precious colorful rocks on the meteorite, polished smooth as a mirror, the colorful rocks constantly change color with the change of seasons, in summer, the ground is full of green, people walk on it, as if stepping on the soft lawn. When winter comes, it becomes a warm color that makes people feel very warm when they walk on it.

The Imperial Guards also changed into festive costumes, and although they still maintained a posture of being ready for battle, they could not hide the festive atmosphere.

After a short time, everyone came to a square with a radius of four or five miles, and the ground of the square also used colorful rocks, and the sun shone down, showing different colors in different directions.

Everyone looked at each other across the square, and at the other end of the square, in the entire palace, the most solemn and magnificent hall was presented in front of everyone's eyes. This hall is the diligent hall where the emperor handles daily government affairs and accepts the worship of ministers, and it is also the place where the new emperor is about to ascend the throne and hold the enthronement ceremony.

In the center of the square, an altar was temporarily erected, and two groups of ministers were standing solemnly under the steps in front of the Qinzheng Palace, just waiting for the reading of the edict of enthronement and entering the hall to worship.

At this time, Nan Ronglin was sitting in a side hall behind the Qinzheng Palace, the enthronement dress had been changed, and he was wearing a crown, and there were twelve strings of jade strings made of the best white jade beads before and after the crown.

On both sides of the crown, there is a golden ribbon from under the chin, the ribbon is at the ear, each hanging a yellow pearl, these two pearls are called filling the ears, the ears are hung in the ears, and they keep shaking when walking, which is to remind the person wearing the crown not to listen to slander.

The crown on the crown fell down, just blocking Nan Ronglin's view, which is called turning a blind eye, reminding the person wearing the crown not to look at those things that should not be seen.

Look at the crown dress worn by Nan Ronglin at this time, there are twelve patterns on it, such as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the dragon, the Chinese insect, the Zongyi, the algae, the fire, the powdered rice, the yellow, and the yellow. He wore a pair of red shirts on his feet, a yellow and red pendant was tied around his waist, and a white jade pendant was worn on his left waist.

At this time, Nan Ronglin, with a stern expression, sat on the sofa with a straight body, his eyes occasionally glanced around, looking at these very familiar scenes in front of him, once upon a time, he was still fighting with the eldest prince to the death, every time he came here, he had to be careful to watch out for anyone, in this place of deceit, he did not dare to relax in the slightest, and if he was not careful, he would fall into a place of no return.

Now, he has become the most noble and authoritative master here, from now on, the entire Nanrong Empire will be in the palm of his hand, towards these people, the world is hot and cold, Nanrong Lin can't help but feel very emotional in his heart.

The chief eunuch of the palace on the side, Changfu, waited cautiously beside Nan Ronglin, because it was too early, Nan Ronglin suddenly remembered that there was still a matter that had not been dealt with, and instructed the draft official to prepare the decree.

A few minutes later, the holy decree was completed, and Nan Ronglin ordered Changfu to announce the decree outside the Qinzheng Palace, and Changfu walked quickly to the outside of the main hall to unfold the holy decree.

At this time, everyone waiting for the enthronement ceremony in the square felt very strange, before the auspicious time arrived, why did the great eunuch read the holy decree, just when people's hearts were full of doubts, Changfu opened his mouth:" Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, on January 15, the 999913 year of the Meteorite Star Ephemeris, the eldest prince Nan Rongyan killed the monarch and usurped the throne, plotting against him, his uncle Li Huairen was his mastermind, and the Wang family of Canglan City was regarded as the same party. ”

Lu Qingfeng and all the people of the Qingyun Sword Sect have all come to the top floor of the guard hall, this hall is next to the Qinzheng Palace, very close to the Qinzheng Palace, and the holy decree read by Changfu can be heard clearly even if ordinary people stand in Lu Qingfeng's position.

Lu Qingfeng understood Nan Ronglin's thoughts, once he announced his accession to the throne, it would be followed by an amnesty for the world, and at that time, if Lu Qingfeng wanted to take revenge, it would not necessarily be a matter of when.

While Lu Qingfeng was moved in his heart, he was also worried about Nan Ronglin, it seemed very inappropriate to read such a holy decree at this time, but the wood was already in the boat, and Lu Qingfeng had no other way, I hope it would not bring any trouble to Nan Ronglin because of this holy decree.

Changfu had just finished reading the holy decree, and the celebrant announced that the auspicious time had arrived, and immediately the entire palace was full of joy. The two eunuchs helped Nan Ronglin to the temporary altar and began the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

Because Nan Ronglin was in a tight time to succeed to the throne, he didn't have time to go to the altar of the royal family to worship the heavens to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, so he had to temporarily build an altar on the square in front of the Qinzheng Palace.

The purpose of sacrificing to the sky is nothing more than to communicate with the gods in the sky, in fact, these are just a form of walking, no one knows where the gods in the sky are, I saw Nan Ronglin's mouth vibrating, what he said is nothing more than that, I am the new emperor, I succeeded to the throne today, please take care of the gods and goddesses in the sky.

When Nan Ronglin ascended the altar, the sound of drums had stopped, and after the sacrifice was completed, Nan Ronglin came to the dragon chair of the Qinzheng Hall with the support of the eunuch, turned around and sat down, and put his two hands on the dragon heads on both sides of the dragon chair, looking ahead.

At this time, Prime Minister He Weixiong came to the outside of the main hall and read out the emperor's edict to the entire square: "The second son of the emperor, Nan Ronglin, is virtuous and talented, and he bows deeply, and succeeds me to the throne and succeeds the emperor." ”

Then, the official servant read out the edict of amnesty to the world, and then the chief eunuch Changfu read out the edict of succession, and the edict of succession in ten thousand words sprinkled with joy is nothing more than praise for the merits of the previous emperor, and what advantages he has, and then there is to sue the ministers, although the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, but he must also use the old ministers to assist, and tell the old ministers not to have ideological pressure, to dare to admonish.

This edict of succession, everyone who listened to it was tireless, and some people even squinted their eyes and pretended to sleep, and finally looked forward to the reading of the edict of succession, and then the hundred officials congratulated.

At this time, under the steps outside the main hall, a group of civil and military ministers have been standing for several hours, the young civil and military ministers are still slightly better, poor those elderly civil ministers, helpless, standing for such a long time, they have long been two legs sifting chaff, trembling all over, I can't wait to sit on the ground now, even if it is to catch my breath, one by one is pale, don't look at it is the cold winter of the number nine, there are still beads of sweat on the faces of these people constantly rolling down.

Next is the hundred officials to congratulate, first of all, the ministers went to the palace to meet the new emperor, these ministers can finally move their feet as if they were amnesty, kneeling on the hall one by one, singing the words of merit and praise are endless, and the sound of a mountain calling long live resounded throughout the hall.

After the civil officials finished congratulating, the military attachés began to go to the palace to meet the emperor, and then the feudal officials from all walks of life went to the palace to pay a visit, and finally the envoys of various countries entered the palace to meet them.

After the hundred officials congratulate each other, it is some theatrical performances, the whole hall drums are ringing in unison, and there are fairies dressed as fairies in the sky, holding flower baskets, scattering flowers all over the sky, and performing beautiful dances in the sky.

There are also fairy children dressed as male monks in the fairy realm, hanging down red banners in their hands, on which are written in golden regular script, some write about the country and the people, and some write about the prosperity of the country, it is really unprecedented, opening a thousand years of precedent.

On the square in front of the huge palace, countless people stop and look up, the whole hall is full of festive and peaceful atmosphere, after the theatrical performance, a eunuch and a military general come to the front of the palace, please accept the jade seal of the country and the tiger head talisman.

Nan Ronglin's eunuchs walked down the steps, took the jade seal and the tiger head talisman respectively, and held it in front of Nan Ronglin with both hands, Nan Ronglin took the jade box containing the jade seal and the tiger head talisman, and took it out and put it in the palm of his hand, which means to let the ministers and envoys of various countries know that from now on, Nan Ronglin will officially inherit the unification and Nanrong military power, which also symbolizes the arrival of a new era.

The last item of the succession ceremony is the great feudal ministers, which is also a measure for the new emperor to win the hearts of the people, the first to be enshrined is Duanmu Zhantian, named the protector of the country, hereditary replacement, the upper hall does not kowtow, the lower hall does not bow.

Then there is He Weixiong, who was named the Duke of Dingguo, hereditary replacement, Zhu Wuli Guogong, and finally Lu Qingfeng was named the king of the word side by side and honored as the imperial brother.

The Situ brothers and sisters are the opposite sex, Liu Qiang, Xia Meng, and Kong Xuan are the generals who protect the country, and all the one hundred and eight brothers are named second-class guards with swords.

The ministers on the eldest prince's side were also rewarded, and Nan Ronglin also said: "As long as all Aiqing is dedicated to assisting me in the future, I will not hold you accountable for what you have done before." ”

These ministers hurriedly bowed three times and bowed nine times to thank the emperor for his kindness, and finally, a large feast was held in the main hall and in the square, and the whole country celebrated for three days.
