such as Yue Linyuan

On the day of Chu Yuelei's funeral, all the officials went to Juyongguan to see him off in silk uniforms.

According to the etiquette system, Chu Yuelei's coffin must go out from the Daming Gate. Chu Yuezhi, who has taken over the imperial edict to succeed the emperor, then goes out through the Daming Gate. It was only outside the gate that they changed to horses and went to the imperial mausoleum.And along the way, they knelt down and wept all the way.

Chu Yuezhi looked at many officials and concubines who had been canonized crying and mourning all the way, and he felt ridiculous in his heart. These people were clearly not sad for Chu Yuelei's death, but they had to do so because of etiquette. After doing this, I don't know how many of them were crying bitterly while scolding Chu Yuelei in their hearts for everything they had done, and rejoicing that they finally didn't have to endure Chu Yuelei's torture anymore.

Outside the gate of Desheng, Zhao Xiyue took the hand of the emperor Chu Zan in front of the officials as promised, and cried to Chu Yuezhi to ask the mother and son to guard the imperial tomb together, although the officials were surprised by this But they all thought it was reasonable, Chu Yuezhi first pretended to refuse, Zhao Xiyue knelt down with Chu Zan and said that if Chu Yuezhi did not make an order, she would not be able to kneel here with the emperor, so Chu Yuezhi agreed , and ordered Zhao Xiyue and Chu Zan to guard the imperial tomb together in front of all officials.

Then Zhao Xiyue and Chu Zan went to the imperial mausoleum with Chu Yuezhi. After arriving, Chu Yuezhi went to the hall to present Yuli, the ceremony of requiem for the soul, and then offered silk and wine. Both the sub-offering and the final offering are repeated to sacrifice wine, and finally bow down again to conclude.

When Chu Yuezhi returned to the capital from the imperial mausoleum, a hundred officials greeted him outside the city, and the accompanying officials set up a resting place outside the capital, and then the hundred officials lined up according to their ranks and performed five prostrations and three kowtows.After returning to the palace, Chu Yuelei's spiritual seat was invited into several banquet halls. Chu Yuezhi performed the rites to appease the gods, kowtowed four times, then offered wine and read blessings, kowtowed four times, and all the officials saluted outside the Sishan Gate .

After finishing the last prayer, Chu Yuezhi stood up and looked at Chu Yuelei's spiritual seat, his expression was indifferent and his heart was full of tranquility. Although there were thousands of people crying for Chu Yuelei at this moment, they were all just for the sake of etiquette, and no one knew about it. There was nothing inside the mausoleum's coffin, and Chu Yuelei's body had already rotted in the mass grave and was bitten by wild dogs to nothing.

This is the end of Chu Yuelei's calculations and fights all his life, with nothing left and no bones left.

After Chu Yuelei's funeral was over, Xia Zhiyi immediately began to select an auspicious day with the officials of the Ministry of Rites to hold the enthronement ceremony for Chu Yuezhi.

Even though the edict had been read out, according to etiquette, Chu Yuezhi had to go through the enthronement ceremony before he could truly become the emperor of the Daheng Kingdom.

The date of the enthronement ceremony was quickly set, just two days before the end of Chu Yuelei's funeral.

The various ministries of the Ministry of Rituals are making intensive preparations. The Department of Supervisors needs to set up a throne at Fengtianmen, the Qintian Supervisor sets up the time drum, and the Shangbao Division sets up the treasure case.

This is the second time that Chu Yuezhi participated in the enthronement ceremony. Seven and a half years ago, he participated in Chu Yuelei's enthronement ceremony as a courtier, but now, he replaced Chu Yuelei.

On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Chu Yuezhi still slept with Si Yuanting in Xiefang Hall, but he couldn't fall asleep all night, so Si Yuanting stayed up with him all night.

Chu Yuezhi couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, he only felt mixed feelings, he nestled quietly in Si Yuanting's arms, his heart was so chaotic that even his thoughts were chaotic, thinking of many things in the past, he finally didn't know Why did he think that his 32nd birthday had passed a few months ago, and that it would be Si Yuanting's 36th birthday not long after? You have to get someone to catch fireflies.

Si Yuanting probably knew that his heart was disturbed, and also knew that he didn't want to hear or say anything, so he just hugged him quietly all night, rubbing his ears with him but didn't say anything.

At dawn, Chu Yuezhi got up to change his clothes, and Si Yuanting also got up and put on the first dress for him at the beginning of the enthronement ceremony.

While Si Yuanting was arranging his clothes, Chu Yuezhi, who had been silent for a long night, finally spoke, and said in a hoarse voice: "I really hope that you can accompany me to complete the enthronement ceremony."

Carefully preparing Chu Yuezhi's clothes, Si Yuanting brushed his untied strands of black hair that were hanging on the side of his face behind his ears, and said: "In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the eunuchs are required to read the imperial edict. If you want to Let me accompany you, and I will change back to the bullfighting uniform later, but I will read the imperial edict for you."

"You know that's not what I mean." Chu Yuezhi raised his hand to caress the white robe on Si Yuanting's body, raised his eyes and said to him: "Chu Qi wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Si Jiu. The bullfighting uniform was made for you after a lot of trouble." Take it off, how can I let you wear it back again? Forget it, you can just participate in the enthronement ceremony like this, everyone thought I was at odds with you before, but now everything is settled, I really don’t want to act anymore, let them know, I value it Si Yuanting."

Putting away the jade leather belt for Chu Yuezhi, Si Yuanting said: "It's always inappropriate for me to rashly appear at the enthronement ceremony, and I don't have a proper identity yet, so I'll wait for you in the Xiefang Hall. "

Chu Yuezhi frowned slightly, grabbed the white jade Guanyin on Si Yuanting's chest with one hand, pulled him towards him, and said, "Your identity is my husband, and now it's only for a while to raise you in Xiefang Palace. I won't let you rest for such a long time to waste all your talents. You have no right now, and the case of the Si family is still under investigation and there is no result. It is understandable that you want to be cautious, but don't forget that you have I, I am supporting you, you don't have to be afraid or scruple about anything!"

Pulling Baiyu Guanyin from Chu Yuezhi's palm into the collar, Si Yuanting rubbed Chu Yuezhi's soft earlobe, and said: "You are so overbearing, you are more and more like an emperor." He knew it, Chu Yuezhi Yue Zhi discussed matters with the officials these days, and many things were discussed over and over again, and often the ministers couldn't get along with each other. In the end, they couldn't reach a result. Chu Yuezhi used to lead the imperial army but What's more, he said that the military order is like a mountain, and there will be no such inefficient and useless disputes with the military division and staff. After several days of enduring the officials and all kinds of cumbersome etiquette, Chu Yuezhi couldn't help feeling angry and holding his breath. There is nowhere to vent, and every day when I come back to Xiefang Palace, I am so tired that I put myself away and snuggle into his arms without saying anything.

Chu Yuezhi has just succeeded to the throne, so it will take a while to get used to it, but he is different from that Chu Yuelei and the old emperor, even if he gets angry again, he will bear it by himself, and he will suffocate himself until his mouth is full Ulcers developed.The palace people were serving in fear of fear of losing their heads if they were not careful, but they found that the new emperor only had a cold face and occasionally scary eyes, but in fact, not even a single palace servant had been punished for almost a month.

"If you want me to go, I'll just go with you. It's the same to stand with the officials and look up to you." Seeing that the time was approaching, Si Yuanting stopped talking and walked out of the hall hand in hand with Chu Yuezhi.

At the beginning of the enthronement ceremony, Xia Zhiyi led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Temple of Heaven, Xiannong Temple and Taimiao to inform the Tiandi Zongshe.As soon as the time came, the bells and drums rang, and the resounding sound of the bells and drums resounded throughout the entire imperial city. Chu Yuezhi, who had already been prepared, went to Fengtianmen wearing a golden gown, and prayed and offered sacrifices to heaven at Fengtianmen.

Civil and military officials dressed in court uniforms, under the guidance of officials from Honglu Temple, entered the imperial city through the Jinshui Bridge, and had already waited for a long time.

When Chu Yuezhi boarded the Fengtian Gate, all officials entered the Meridian Gate Square, and they were listed on both sides of the Royal Road according to the regulation that civil servants were in the east and military officials were in the west.

Si Yuanting, on the other hand, was already standing in front of the Meridian Gate Square before Baiguan arrived. When Baiguan saw him, he was startled but didn't show much on his face, but seeing that he was no longer wearing clothes. The bullfighting suit, only a very clean white robe, was obviously abrupt and impolite, but he treated it calmly, as if it was the most normal thing for him to dress up here at the moment.

No one dared to object to this. The fact that Si Yuanting stood here before them meant that it was approved by Chu Yuezhi. Since the emperor had already approved it, there was no need for them, the court officials, to ascend the throne here. Asking for trouble at the ceremony.

Si Yuanting knelt down after Chu Yuezhi boarded the Fengtian Gate, and all the officials also knelt down.

Looking at Chu Yuezhi's lofty figure, and the submission of all the officials, they could clearly see how steady and firm Chu Yuezhi's steps were when he ascended the Fengtian Gate. It was a shocking and domineering aura that the previous emperor had never had when he ascended the throne. They knew that , Daheng Congress ushered in brand-new changes.

After praying for a long time, after Chu Yuezhi, Xia Zhiyi and other officials from the Ministry of Rites completed the complicated sacrifice ceremony, they finally walked down the Fengtian Gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The inside and outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was bloodbathed during the palace change, had already been cleaned up to a new look. No trace of the palace change was left on the platform or Danbi inside or outside the hall. Si Yuanting was still walking in the forefront, and when his eyes met Chu Yuezhi who was sitting on the dragon seat, the corners of Si Yuanting's mouth seemed to twitch, and the fleeting smile was caught by Chu Yuezhi. I can see it in my eyes.

Facing the group of officials, Chu Yuezhi looked solemn, only his hands on his knees curled up imperceptibly because of Si Yuanting's smile.

The new eunuch for ceremonies was the young eunuch Wang Zhong. He stood at the bottom of the steps with an edict in his hand and read it aloud. Afterwards, the jade seal symbolizing the highest imperial power was presented, and Chu Yuezhi officially ascended the throne as the emperor of the Daheng Kingdom.

Chu Yuezhi stepped down from the throne amidst the prostrations of the ministers, walked out of the main hall with a jade seal in his hand, and accepted the prostration from the officials and soldiers who were not of high rank outside the hall to enter the main hall on top of His Majesty Dan.

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

The sound of prostration and submission sounded again. The difference from the end of the palace change was that this time they referred to Chu Yuezhi as "My Emperor", which meant to truly admit that he had ascended the throne as the king.

The voice of worship was so shocking, even more earth-shattering than when the palace change was over, not only would it spread to every corner of the imperial city, but it would also resound through the sky.

Chu Yuezhi held up the jade seal in his hand, and all the officials fell silent. Amidst the reverberation of the sound of worship still echoing in the square, Chu Yuezhi read out his enthronement edict: "I accept the fate of the emperor, and I rely on the greatness of the saints." Hugh, according to the edict of the emperor's elder brother Daheng Sizong, it belongs to the order of lun, and entered Fengzong. The civil and military officials inside and outside, as well as the old soldiers and civilians, persuaded them to come in together, and repeatedly. The resignation is not accepted. On the 23rd of this month, only Tell heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the society that you are the emperor. Think deeply about the weight of entrustment, and be conscientious and conscientious. The middle way of power and treachery is turned into deception, subtly manipulate political power, and spread fierce power. I want to promote the way to rule , must change the old and create a new one. Everything depends on the old chapters, and also respects and inherits the husband's predecessors. He only cares about his virtues, and he will be in the new year. Civil Gengshi. All cooperation matters are listed below."

The reign title of the new dynasty was set as Yanqing, which was agreed upon by Chu Yuezhi and Si Yuanting, and it was also their common ideal and wish.

The ministers kowtowed and shouted again, and the enthronement ceremony was completed.

At the same moment, a soldier outside the gate of the capital galloped in, riding a thousand-mile war horse, holding a six-hundred-mile urgent military report and a token, shouting loudly.

The last enthronement edict was borrowed from the enthronement edict of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, only a few sentences were deleted and the year name was changed.

Who is more crazy to criticize, Chu Qi or Si Jiu?
