After Qin Mu returned to Nanjing, all the officials in the capital felt at ease, and all civil and military officials began to make full preparations for the enthronement ceremony.
In fact, a lot of preparatory work had been done very early, but because Qin Mu was away on an expedition, some things could not be finally implemented without his approval.
The five great governors of the Qin Dynasty were Meng Ke, Liu Meng, Ma Yongzhen, Li Guo and Li Dingguo. As well as Huo Sheng, Cui Feng, Ling Zhan, Ning Yuan, Gao Yigong, Li Chen, Han Gang, Hui Dengxiang, Jin Shenghuan, Hao Yaoqi, Qin Yiming, Su Jin, Li Jiu, Zhao Jian, Qiao Bai, Hu Shouliang, Guo Yunlong , Qin Zuoming, Qin Zuoming, Yan Yingyuan, Ai Nengqi, Liang Tao, Liu Tichun, Ma Liuliang, Zheng Sihai, Di Zhongxing, Liu Zhongqin, Gu Rong and other generals also rushed back to Nanjing to attend the ceremony.
For a time, the stars shone brightly and gathered in Nanjing.
Each of them has heroic deeds that are talked about by the people.
Among them, the deeds of Yan Yingyuan and Ma Liuliang have been compiled into operas and sung, and are known all over the world.
In the city of Nanjing, all merchants spontaneously decorated their shops. Various fresh flowers were decorated on the flower stands in the shops, and the green fragrance filled the air.
The bluestone pavement was kept spotless, and the people put on brand new clothes one after another as if they were celebrating the New Year;
On both sides of the Qinhuai River, the fragrant wind blows, music plays day and night, and BMWs and fragrant cars are like clouds.
Various temples also came to join in the fun, holding various temple fairs one after another, attracting huge crowds of people.
In the open space outside the city, hundreds of performances were performed, and the cheers echoed throughout the city.
More than forty leaders of Monan Mongolia either came in person or sent their sons and nephews as representatives to celebrate with great gifts.
The Portuguese Governor in Macau, Vacchi, and the North Korean Crown Prince Li Jun also rushed to Nanjing in person. This scene is quite reminiscent of the time when the King of Qin swept away the country and all the princes came to the west.
Among them, Li Jun took great pains to please Qin Mu, except preparing a batch of rare and rare treasures. After returning to China, he selected a woman from thousands of people from North Korea, and then she was made a princess by King Li Zhu.
This woman is the daughter of Li Yin, Duke of Kaicheng County, North Korea. She is sixteen years old. Not only is she as beautiful as a flower, but she is also knowledgeable and courteous. More importantly, she can speak Chinese, which is conducive to communication.
In addition to Princess Wenhui, Li Jun also selected 36 beautiful women as dowries for the princess. Come together.
Therefore, among the congratulatory envoys, the North Korean envoy was the largest, with as many as four hundred people including the escorting soldiers.
Under the intense and orderly preparations of the officials in Nanjing, and in the midst of great expectations, the auspicious day chosen by the Qin Tian Jian for his enthronement finally arrived.
Early that morning, with thousands of rays of light and purple air coming from the east, hundreds of musicians from Taichang Temple played music together. Hongzhong Dalu, ups and downs, the sound stops the moving clouds.
On both sides of Tianjie, there are guards with bright armor. They may be holding banners in their hands and swords and spears in their right hands, standing on both sides of the road, looking from a distance. Strict and mighty.
People in Nanjing crowded on both sides of the road early, some trying to grab a good seat. Even before dawn, he came to dominate. Men, women, old and young, all well dressed and waiting eagerly.
With the support of the civil and military ministers, Qin Mu drove out of the palace, led the civil and military ministers out of Tianjie, and went to the Yuanqiu Altar in the southern suburbs to solemnly offer sacrifices to heaven.
When the people in the city saw his car driving, they cheered.
"The King of Qin has gone to worship heaven!"
"Look, then...that's King Qin, so handsome!"
"What kind of handsome man is that? King Qin's name is Long Zhang Fengzi. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know."
"Isn't Long Zhang and Fengzi handsome?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, hurry up and go to the south of the city..."
People elsewhere had never seen the coronation ceremony of the founding emperor, so they probably thought it was held in Jinluan.
The people of Nanjing are well-informed, and the older generation knows this is a fallacy. In fact, the main part of the coronation ceremony of the founding emperor was held in front of the Yuanqiu Altar in the southern suburbs.
The monarchs of later generations inherit their imperial power from the previous emperor, as long as they have the succession edict of the previous emperor as a basis.
However, the first-generation monarch had no one to issue an edict to him, so he could only ask God to "appoint him" as the legitimacy to rule the world.
Therefore, the ceremony cannot be performed in the palace. Instead, one has to go to the Yuanqiu Altar in the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to God and accept the imperial power bestowed by God.
When Qin Mu drove his car to the Yuanqiu Altar in the southern suburbs, there was already a sea of people outside, with three floors inside and three floors outside. The musicians from the Jiaofang Division were playing hard, and the music was majestic and shocking.
Amidst the music, Qin Mu offered three animals in front of the altar and burned incense to worship heaven. The ceremony was grand and solemn.
After the ceremony of the Circular Qiu Sacrifice was completed, the etiquette officer sent the school captain to set up a golden chair to the east and south in front of the suburban altar, and set up a crown robe case in front of the golden chair.
Then Sima An, the first assistant, led all the civil and military ministers, looked at the seats and ran to announce: "The ceremony has been completed, please take the throne as emperor."
At this time, you cannot just rush to sit on the golden chair when someone invites you. You must "half-hidden your face while holding the pipa", or like a big girl getting into a sedan chair, ahem, in short, you must be reserved, modest, and reluctant. want... ... ...
At this time, it was time for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to perform. Sima An and others rushed up and helped Qin Mu, who was half-pushed, to the golden chair to sit down. Although it was not as intense as "kidnapping", the whole process must reflect the The civil and military ministers "supported" it.
After Qin Mu sat down, the officials arranged their duties first, and the deacons raised their crowns and brought the treasure cases to the front. The ministers of Sima An kneeled down and placed them on the case.
Then the most important civil and military ministers such as Sima An, Li Yuan, Lu Zhenfei, Yang Tinglin, Meng Ke, Liu Meng, and Ma Yongzhen took the crown and placed it on the holy bow.
This process cannot be done by Qin Mu himself. Just now you didn't want to sit on the golden chair, but now you take the initiative to wear the crown. Isn't it inconsistent? Therefore, humility must be carried out to the end...
Sima An and others helped Qin Mu put on his crown, and then retreated to the class, chanting loudly: "Arrange the class."
After the lineup was arranged, all the ministers bowed and played music.
Then all the ministers bowed three times, calmed down, and felt happy.
Then he bowed three times, leveled his body, and stopped happily.
Tongzan led Sima An to the emperor's throne, and Tongzan sang: "Kneel down and pick up the hut."
Sima An was wearing a wat. The "hut" is the wat board used by officials to go to court. In ancient times, officials' official uniforms did not have pockets, so they inserted the wat directly into their belts, which was called "hua wat".
All the officials knelt down when the song was passed down. The official holding the treasure opened the box and took out the jade treasure (i.e., the jade seal passed down to the country) and presented it to Sima An. Sima An held the treasure and said: "The emperor has ascended to the throne, and I would like to present the royal treasure to you."
Qin Mu nodded. Then Shang Baoqing received the treasure and put it in the box.
The Tongzan official sang: "Take your place, bow down, and keep your body flat." All officials bowed and flattened themselves according to the guidance of Tongzan.
The Tongzan official sang again: "Reset", and the ceremonial official led the prime minister back to his original position from the west.
The Tongzan official then sang: "Bow, worship, worship, straighten the body, put on the hut, bow, dance three times, kneel on the left knee, kowtow three times, shout long live the mountain, shout again, kneel on the right knee, come out of the hut."
All the officials followed the steps sung by Tongzan Official. Shanhu means that you can shout as loud as you want. So it was time for the civil and military ministers to practice their voices. Every time they kowtowed, they all shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!" Long live! Long live!”
Thousands of people watching the ceremony all prostrated themselves at this time, and like the vast ocean, they shouted "Long Live the Mountain" together. For a moment, the sound shook the sky, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the clear waves of the Qinhuai River stirred up small waves. Zhongshan was depressed for a long time.
After the mountain call. When the new emperor lifted martial law, he sang in praise: "Juan Ban". All the officials retired and the ceremony was completed.
According to the old etiquette, this time should be followed by guidance. The emperor led his ministers to the Ancestral Temple, presented the treasures, honored the four generations of emperors and concubines, and announced the rituals of the country.
But Da Qin is special. The Imperial Ancestral Temple is not located in Nanjing, so officials from the Ministry of Rites and two hundred imperial guards were waiting for him, bringing with them treasures. He rushed to Xijing day and night.
At this time, Qin Mu Gu Gunmian returned to the palace and visited the Zichen Hall, where hundreds of officials came to express their congratulations.
Then all the civil and military officials took their seats, and Taichang Temple played great music. The music was magnificent, ups and downs, the low drums, the majestic bells, and the soul-stirring notes echoed in the splendid palace.
The majestic hall covered with glazed tiles, the grand and magnificent Qin costumes, the huge golden canopy, the steps carved with white marble, and the majestic golden melon warriors;
Everything you see and hear reflects the majestic, magnificent and epic-like glorious heritage of this country.
In the majestic sound of ritual music, Qin Mu, who was dressed in black uniform and wearing a twelve-pointed crown on his head, stepped steadily onto the jade steps step by step and ascended to the throne under the gaze of everyone.
Promote until you are happy.
The general rolled up the curtain, Shang Baoqing held the royal treasure and placed it on the case. The archguard fired his whip and led the class and all the civil and military officials into the Danqi to pay their respects and stand facing the north.
Then the music was played, and under the guidance of the Tongzan Officer, the civil and military officials faced the throne, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and shouted in unison:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound of music and the long-lived mountain cry shook the entire splendid palace complex. Qin Mu sat high on the throne and looked away. All the ministers were lying down. Outside the palace, auspicious clouds circled the spine and the sun shone brightly. At this moment, great achievements were made. The head is red, the sun is white, the clouds are low, and it feels like you can see all the lakes and seas.
He said slowly: "Everyone is safe!"
From then on, the identity of the king and his ministers was determined. During this process, foreign envoys could only worship outside the Jinluan Hall, and they were not eligible to enter the temple.
After the congratulations, Qin Mu sent officials to appoint the queen and issued an imperial edict on the throne to the world.
The edict was delivered to the Meridian Gate by the eunuch with a loud voice. At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered on the broad imperial street outside the Meridian Gate, waiting to hear the emperor's enthronement edict;
The eunuch opened the yellow scroll, faced outside the Meridian Gate and read loudly:
"If the emperor's ministers dare to use Xuanmu, they will tell the emperor:
The people are born, and then those who are virtuous will become kings. If they are worshiped by heaven, they will be able to provide for their people. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was dominated by barbarians, and their fortunes came to an end. Their fortunes were exhausted, their lands fell apart, and civil strife broke out. They then seized artifacts, established states and captured chiefs, stole their names and chaos, and the people lost their livelihood, the bones of their soldiers were exposed, and their clothes were ruined.
Mu Benjiang Zuo Hanru had no intention of peeking at the artifact, but he couldn't bear the suffering of our people and the stench of the fall. He raised the flag of righteousness, carried the lonely military chariot, and fought with heroes wherever he came. He was determined to save the world and thought of peace. Thanks to the blessings of heaven and the spirit of our ancestors, we will kill the rebellious bandits and gangsters at home, fight against the captives of the late Jin Dynasty and build the Han Dynasty outside, and restore our Han family's clothes.
Nowadays, the four directions are settled, and the people are in peace in the fields. However, the order of heaven must not be unruly, humans and gods must not neglect the master, the emperor's position is empty, and the sacrifices in the suburbs have no master. Therefore, a group of officials, ministers and civilians, as well as civil and military officers and men, gathered together to persuade them to advance, and to take charge of Li.
Mu was afraid of the destiny and dared not to obey. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year 1868 of the Qin Dynasty, he went up to the altar to receive Zen, and he became the emperor. He was renamed Da Qin, Jianyuan Longwu. Set up three capitals. Make Yang Zhi the queen, and her mother will honor the world. Make Qin Ye the prince. Grant amnesty to the world, appeal to God, and respond to the people's wishes. Qin will always be preserved. Announce it to the world, and send envoys to hear about it..."
In this enthronement edict, no one is surprised about the selection of the queen, the selection of the prince, amnesty for the world, and the establishment of three capitals. Only the origin of the date "the eighth day of December in the year 1868 of the Qin Dynasty" makes many people Puzzled.
After hearing this, the people outside the Meridian Gate immediately burst into discussion. Some scholars speculate that the origin of 1868 probably dates back to the year when the First Emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
However, there are so many era names in the past dynasties. We need to count them one by one. From the year when the First Emperor ascended the throne to the present, has 1868 passed? This is a university question. We need to go through the history books of each dynasty and identify each era name one year at a time. The number counts.
The quick-thinking scholar suddenly realized that if the year when the First Emperor ascended the throne was really the first year, and future history books would be chronicled accordingly, it would be much easier to smooth things over.
No matter what happens, the emperor ascends the throne, the world has its master, the Qin Dynasty once again stands in the east, and the world is amnesty!
After hearing the edict, the soldiers and the people rushed to tell each other, and the city of Nanjing cheered and shook, and the whole city was boiling!
