Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 333

Compared with the white-faced sacrifice, the Zen ceremony held at night is simple, but it is not less solemn.

In fact, Zhu Youlang had already mentioned in the congratulatory text of the ancestral temple ceremony that his son Zhu Cixuan had outstanding military exploits and was able to govern the country far better than his father.

The abdication ceremony that night was actually mainly divided into two parts. First, the old emperor abdicated, and then the new emperor ascended the throne.

According to the Chinese tradition, they don't like to perform rituals at night, but Bai Mingxiu broke the tradition.Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also broken a lot of traditions. He pays more attention to practical issues rather than red tape.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the largest wooden structure building in Chinese history, and commonly known as the Golden Luan Hall by ordinary people, finally ushered in the most important ceremony of the new Ming Dynasty.

Wearing a dragon robe, Zhu Youlang, who was actually sitting on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Palace as the emperor, and receiving the worship of all the officials, did not expect that the first time would be at his own abdication ceremony.This made him quite emotional. Looking at the rows of officials and representatives from all walks of life standing below, Zhu Youlang really felt like a dream.

In fact, he hadn't thought about becoming emperor at all. When he became emperor, it was just a group of courtiers who pushed him to the throne.Most of his body went into exile, and Zhu Youlang suffered a lot.When he went into exile in Burma, was neglected and bullied by unscrupulous courtiers, and was chased by the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Youlang only wanted to survive.

He looked at his son standing below. Even though he had already grown into a man's figure at this time, his face was still childish.But it was such a young man with amazing energy in his body, bringing a dilapidated dynasty back to life from death.

No one can believe that it is a young man who has integrated all the forces and built a huge and powerful army. He even took the lead in fighting against the Tartars. No one can imagine that he can turn this dilapidated country into a thriving country. It surpassed the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

"Salute." The master of ceremonies sang, of course the eunuchs took this position before, but now Daming no longer uses eunuchs, but the staff of the chief of ceremonies.

The ministers and representatives from all walks of life who participated in the ceremony bowed neatly to Emperor Yongli on the dragon chair, bowed three times, and the ceremony was completed.This is already a new etiquette designed by Bai Mingxiu. Kneeling is not used for the emperor.

Bowing three times to the emperor expresses gratitude to the emperor for his many years in power. In fact, it is also a kind of farewell at this time.

Zhu Youlang was still sitting upright, and the master of ceremonies began to read out the emperor's edict of abdication. This edict had already been published in major newspapers and periodicals, so it can be regarded as a retelling here.After the edict of abdication was read out, other ceremonial officials presented the most important item in the ceremony—the Chuanguo Yuxi.

This treasure seal is not the one that He's Bi was in the legend.Even the imperial seal at the beginning of Yongli was smashed in Myanmar, and Ma Jixiang exchanged it for money to buy food.The current national seal is a new jade seal carved by Bai Mingxiu after he took over Burma.

This jade seal was taken to Xitian Mansion in Australia by Yongli, and Bai Mingxiu has always used his own seal as the supervisor of the country.As a result, this jade seal, which was originally the most noble, has not been used much.

At this time, Bai Mingxiu had quietly retreated just now and put on a new crown robe, which was different from the bright yellow dragon robe in many people's impressions. The real crown robe was black, that is, black.Bai Mingxiu's mianfu wears a twelve-pronged tiara, a big fur coat, and black clothes.The upper garment is painted with six patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects, and the lower garment is embroidered with six patterns of algae, fire, rice, Zongyi, Fu, and Fu. There are twelve chapters in total. apparel.

Zhu Youlang looked at his son in the crown suit, and couldn't help but feel emotional: "Even Xuan'er wears this dress much more stylishly than I do, alas."

Even though he thought so, Zhu Youlang still respectfully passed the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Bai Mingxiu. When Bai Mingxiu took over the Jade Seal, he knelt down on his knees and took the Jade Seal from his father with a big gift.

The following ceremony also included praying to ancestors and heaven. After some prayers, Bai Mingxiu formally sat on the chair, while Zhu Youlang sat on another luxurious chair on the left side of the chair.Officials and representatives from all walks of life have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Everyone bowed and saluted as the chief of ceremonies sang.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

There are many people standing in this hall, and their moods are different.Including Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and others, they all witnessed Bai Mingxiu leading Daming to where it is today. The freshmen were moved with emotion, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the future.And many bureaucrats of the old dynasty couldn't help crying when they thought of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty and the return of the Zhengshuo Dynasty after a lot of chaos.

Bai Mingxiu sat there calmly accepting the worship of everyone, still without much excitement.

At this time, the system congratulated for the first time.

"Host, congratulations, you have become the legal monarch of this country."

Bai Mingxiu was a little surprised when he heard the system's congratulations, and said, "Thank you."

And after saying this sentence of congratulations, the system actually disappeared again and stopped talking.Bai Mingxiu also had some hesitation in his heart. If he hadn't been using various functions of the system on a daily basis, he would have felt that his golden finger had died.Recently, the system has been talking less and less directly to him. Except after giving him a lot of mission rewards before, Bai Mingxiu feels that there is no such a No. [-] system at all.

Bai Mingxiu asked the system: "Hey, I mean the master of the system, you have closed the promotion channel of my era for a while, and I finally unified the country, shouldn't you consider giving me a promotion, at least enter the electrical industry?" The times."

The system didn't talk too much nonsense, and just left out a task.

“[Main task: Empire Chaoyang], within the next ten years, the host empire’s economic development will be grade-A, and the scale of industrialization of steam will reach grade-A, occupying a colony area of ​​more than 1000 million square kilometers, in Europe, America and Africa. Have a colonial city with a core ethnic population of more than 10. Task reward: unlock the technology tree of the Electric Age, task failure penalty: none."

Bai Mingxiu was taken aback, "There is no reward for mission failure, this is not like your style, system."

However, the system was not in the mood to reply to him, and only left a description of the task.
