The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 806: Enthronement Ceremony 1
On the first day of December, early in the morning.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, there are already crowds of people, and officials from the Ministry of Rites are arranging their positions.

"People from the two counties in the north of Longyou, come to the front and stand in the middle!"

"From Hexi County, the first red flag to the east..."

"From Gyeonggi County, the first blue flag to the west..."

Following the shouts of the ceremonial officials, the chaotic people gradually came into order, but the discussions with each other did not stop.

"We people in Gyeonggi County should stand in the middle!"

"You're wrong. Those people from Longyoubei have made a lot of contributions when the current emperor is a feudal lord. Can we compare with them?"

Then someone echoed: "That's exactly the truth!"

"In fact, it's nothing to stand there. Now that we have a new emperor, we can only hope for better days in the future!"

"Yes!"

Those who appeared outside Chengtianmen were ordinary people from all over the world. They didn't care about power struggles, they just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But at this moment, in front of Chengtianmen, the common people in Longyou were equally heated and did not listen.

"My lord is finally going to be the emperor, God has eyes!"

"This is the blessing of all people in the world, and life will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Compared with the worries of the people in other counties, the people in the northwest have been favored by Zhao Yanxun for a long time, so they are naturally Zhao Yanxun's most staunch supporters.

After the unremitting efforts of the officials, the more than 3000 people outside the Chengtian Gate finally stood in line and became quiet.

With the flags flying and soldiers standing everywhere, everything looks majestic and solemn.

On the Chengtian gate, a reading case has been set up here, and the succession edict will be read out here in a while.

In Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun had already changed out of his mourning attire, and the eunuch was putting on his mian attire for him.

He paid homage to Emperor Tai'an just now, and next he will pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, so he has to wear the most solemn mianfu.

There are many sacrifices today, but the emperor only acts as a key person. In other places, the Ministry of Rites sends officials to perform on their behalf. This has always been the rule.

Soon, Zhao Yanxun had put on the crown, and went to Huangji Hall in a chariot and sedan chair.

A throne has been set up in the Huangji Hall, the officials of the Qin Tianjian set up the time drum, and Shang Baosi set up a treasure case in front of the throne, and Zhao Yanxun will be seated in the hall in a short while.

In the main hall, Jinyiwei set up a cloud cover and a cloud plate in the east, and the Jiaofang Division set up Zhonghe Shaoyue, and set it up without making it.

Outside the main hall, the Honghe Temple set up a watch case on Danbi, and the Honghe Temple set up an imperial edict, where the imperial edict to sacrifice to God will be read out.

On both sides of the royal road above the Dan Majesty, all the kings and dignitaries stood east and west towards the middle and senior officials, and everyone stood silently at this moment.

In the square under His Majesty Dan, all civil and military officials stood neatly, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

As the sun rose, Zhao Yanxun ascended to his seat in the Huangji Hall as the music began in the Huangji Hall.

At the end of the music, Zhao Yanxun sat on the throne, wearing a twelve-pronged crown on his head, and looked towards the front of the hall.

When the ceremonial officials and the emperor's attendants took their positions one after another, they saw a ceremonial official kneeling in front of the emperor's throne holding an edict in his hand.

"Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.

As Zhao Yanxun's words fell, music started in the hall, and the ceremony officer immediately got up and walked out of the hall.

When he came to Danbi, the ceremonial officer first held the imperial edict to the case to seal it, and then held the imperial edict to the imperial edict to read it out.

This is an imperial edict to pray to heaven and earth. The emperor is the son of heaven, so the new emperor will naturally have to tell his father when he ascends the throne.

The person in charge of reading the imperial edict was Zhou Chengping, the deputy capital imperial envoy.

Zhao Yanxun specially ordered him to announce the imperial edict, which shows his trust and attention to him.

At this moment, there was no rest in the hall, Zhou Chengping stood upright, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and read aloud: "Yan Xun, the heir to the heaven, dare to tell the Haotian God, the land of the emperor is only..."

Because of the blessing of the "amplifier", Zhou Chengping's voice can be heard far away, even outside the Chengtian Gate.

"In the past, our emperor tested Shenzong to show the emperor, and he was ordered by the sky to work hard to govern, and the world was safe. However, Weilong, the rebel, killed the king and killed his father and seized the throne. ..."

At this time, it was justified to scold Zhao Weilong, but everyone who watched the ceremony inside the Huangji Gate had mixed feelings.

Except for the generals of the forbidden army, who doesn't know what's going on!
"The ancestors had a clear instruction: there are no ministers in the court, but there are villains in the court, and Wang Dexing wants to punish them!"

"I obeyed the teachings of my ancestors, so I set up troops to quell the difficulties. I thought that Wan surnames begged for orders. Weilong abandoned himself to the sky and hanged himself in the ancestral temple."

"I am blessed by heaven and earth, my life is safe, the army and the people are at peace, the king and ministers recommend me to be superior, but I dare not resign, on the first day of December..."

After reading this, Zhou Chengping said more seriously: "That is the throne of the emperor!"

After reading the imperial edict, the most important step has been completed for the ceremony of ascending the pole.

Under the guidance of the officials of ceremonies, all the kings and officials stood facing the Huangji Hall at this moment, and at this moment there was once again joy in the hall.

"bye……"

Following the roar of the ceremonial officer, all the kings and honorable ministers knelt down, and then kowtowed to Zhao Yanxun in the hall.

"prosper……"

All the ministers got up and stood still, waiting for the next step of guidance from the ritual officer.Immediately afterwards, the ceremony officer shouted: "Bye!"

"prosper……"

A total of five bows and five kowtows, the whole process took nearly 2 minutes.

On the throne in the main hall, as far as Zhao Yanxun could see, there were all courtiers bowing down and saluting.

He thought that he had seen through a little bit, and he would not have any emotional fluctuations.

But this situation and this scene still made him feel excited, and the position of emperor also held infinite weight in his heart.

"Carrying the sun and the moon on our shoulders, carrying the stars on our shoulders, raising Li Shu... this is also the responsibility of the emperor!" Zhao Yanxun sighed in his heart.

All the ministers worshiped and stopped happily.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Wang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stepped into the Huangji Hall.

When he came to the throne and stood under the imperial steps, Wang Tinghe stood solemnly, and then the ceremony officer shouted: "Kneel!"

The old Wang Tinghe knelt down slowly, and the ceremony officer in the main hall also called out the word "kneeling", and the officials who had just got up knelt down again.

Besides, in the main hall, the second cabinet assistant Xie Xiaofang held a tray, and slowly came to Wang Tinghe's side and knelt down.

On the tray he was holding was a box wrapped in bright yellow brocade.

The next moment, the ceremony official stepped forward to roughly close the box, and there was a treasure seal inside.

This seal is five inches square, with five dragons in Shanghai, white and slightly yellowish, with obvious signs of aging.

Zhao Yanxun, who was on the throne, knew that this was the Jade Seal that had been passed down for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, countless sages and sages have owned him, and in order to fight for it, countless heroes have lost their lives.

The ceremony officer carefully took out the seal, then knelt down and handed it to Wang Tinghe.

Taking the seal carefully, Wang Tinghe took three steps forward on his knees, and then lifted the seal above his head.

"The emperor ascends to the throne, and the ministers honor the imperial treasure!"

The first and second assistants of the cabinet represent the officials and ministers and present the imperial treasure to the emperor.

The leading figures who opposed Zhao Yanxun's seizure of the heirloom back then, but now they want to hand over the jade seal to Zhao Yanxun in person, the two cabinet ministers have complicated hearts.

At this moment, they can only sigh with emotion that the world is impermanent and unpredictable.

Although it was presented as an imperial treasure, Zhao Yanxun didn't need to move. Huo An, the chief eunuch of the palm print supervisor, walked down the imperial steps with the brocade box in his hand.

Zhao Yanxun adjusted the functions and powers of the inner court yamen, and the palm seal supervisor took on the function of the previous life's ceremonial supervisor.

Wang Tinghe put the seal into the brocade box, and then Huo An returned to the throne along the imperial steps and placed the seal on the big case in front of Zhao Yanxun.

"Bai..." the official's voice sounded.

Hearing this sound, all civil and military officials inside and outside the hall knelt down to pay homage.

"prosper……"

Everyone got up, then bowed and got up again, a total of three times.

The last prostration, the ceremonial officer did not call out, and the civil and military officials could only kneel down and wait.

After a few breaths, only Zhao Yanxun's voice came from the hall.

"Be flat!"

The next moment, the ritual officer shouted "Pingshen", and the civil and military officials stood up.

After a few more breaths, the two cabinet ministers in the hall knelt down again, only to hear Wang Tinghe shouting: "Please issue an imperial edict!"

All of a sudden, the civil and military officials who got up outside the hall all knelt on the ground again.

Different from the edict that only informed the world just now, this next edict is Zhao Yanxun's first edict after succeeding to the throne, and it is issued to thousands of subjects under his rule.

On the throne, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Use your seal!"

The imperial edict has already been drawn up and placed on his desk.

Hearing the word "Yongyin", Huo An carefully took out the jade seal, and then stamped it on the left side of the imperial edict.

After Huo An put the jade seal back, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Issuing an imperial edict!"

Seeing that Huo An rolled up the edict, then walked slowly to the imperial steps, and handed the edict into the hands of the ritual officer.
