Chapter 215: Enthronement Ceremony


Qingji is the king, but the four steps of fasting, bathing, altar and sacrifice, but the complexity of each step is different.

Now that the state of Wu is undecided, Qingji ascended the throne outside the city and became king, and the whole ceremony process has been greatly reduced, even so, it is still extremely complicated. ascending the altar and being sealed, there should be an edict from the first king, this step is saved.

When the princes ascended the throne, they should be canonized by Zhou Tianzi, but Wu Guo has been arrogated to the throne since the time of Qingji's grandfather Shoumeng, and Zhou Tianzi is on an equal footing, and it is impossible for Zhou Tianzi to send envoys to Wu State to canonize it, and this step is also saved.

Early in the morning, Ren Ruoxi, Ji Sun Xiaoman, and Uncle Sun Shaoguang appeared in front of him.

In fact, since last night I heard that Qingji was assassinated, the three of them rushed over in fear, Ren Ruoxi also brought the Ren family's refined soft armor, which is two layers of leather armor, supplemented by hardware soft silk in the middle of the close-fitting armor, expensive to build, can not be manufactured in large quantities, but it is possible to create a few pairs of fine products for the nobles to enjoy.

This protective soft armor has now been forced by the three of them to let Qingji wear it on his body.

In front of Uncle Sun Shaoguang and Ji Sun Xiaoman, Qingji and Ren Ruoxi were inconvenient to say anything, but when they saw each other, their words and deeds were always a little different.

Qingji is better, with filial piety like a pear blossom after a rain, but the kung fu of concealment is not so clever.

Uncle Sun Shaoguang noticed the difference in the two of them, and he had already realized in his heart, but Ren Jiajun not only helped Qingji a lot at present, after Qingji got the entire Wu Kingdom, if he wanted to stabilize the foundation of the country, he also needed more support from a wealthy family like the Ren family.

What's more, once Qingji ascends the throne and becomes king, how can the concubines of the lord of a country be missing that she has a marriage contract with Qingji from her family, and her status is guaranteed.

As for Ji Sun Xiaoman, although she had grabbed Qingji's ears in private and was coquettish, and forced her to ask him what kind of love there was between him and Ren Ruoxi, she was not used to seeing her uncle and grandson shaking her as Qingji's quasi-wife everywhere, and now many competitors are much more threatening to her than to her, in fact, she is happy to see it. was counterattacked by Qingji again, took her in his arms and caressed her wantonly, up and down his hands, his lips and tongue were deep, and Ji Sun Xiaoman, who was violently raising troops to fight, immediately threw away his armor and unloaded his armor, panting, and finally his sideburns were messy, and he broke out of his lap with a blush and escaped from the tent.

Ji Sun Xiaoman looked back and thought about it carefully, he didn't embarrass Qingji, but he took advantage of him, and he couldn't help but be very discouraged.

Deflated is deflated, Xiao Nizi felt that the Chengren game held in his arms was quite sweet, and it was a moment of apricot eyes and indignation, and a moment of shyness and sweet smile with his chin in his hand, and he looked at the uncle and grandson who didn't know it and Ren Ruoxi inexplicably.

Today, it is said that Qingji ascended the throne, this is an extremely grand day, although the three girls have their own scheming in private, but none of them show it at such a major moment.

They spontaneously pretended to be the maids beside Qingji and helped him get dressed.

Those complicated royal costumes are very cumbersome to cross, there are no palace maids in the palace who specialize in serving and wearing, and ordinary maids and maids do not understand the emperor's clothes, and only the three of them can do it.

King Wu and Zhou Tianzi are the same, called Wang Jue, the dress is extremely complicated, in the single, big Qiu, Xuanyi, Xuanyi, Xuan, Wang, inside and outside several sets of clothes, Xuan is yellow and red, Xuan is blue-black, Xuan and Xuan symbolize the color of heaven and earth, the top is painted to say, the moon, the stars, the mountain, the dragon, the Chinese insect six chapter pattern, the bottom embroidered algae, fire, powder rice, Zong Yi, 黼, 黻 six chapter pattern, a total of 12 chapters.

At that time, the grandest ceremony, the prince and the king had to wear a crown, that is, the crown with a beaded curtain that was common in later historical films, which was not the patent of the emperor at that time, and the most solemn crown of the prince was also like this, but the number of beads and beads on the crown was somewhat different.

It is the highest etiquette to celebrate the king and pray to the heavens and the earth, so the crown is made of 12 strings of jade, each string of 12 jade beads.

Cover Yu and Candle Yong are princes, with nine beads and nine leaves, Sun Wu, Liang Huzi, Jing Lin and others are the ministers, according to the official position of 6, 4, 2 and below are different, since the three princes below the secretary only uses the front, there is no back.

The clothes are also decreasing according to the official rank, and the moon is not painted on the clothes of the cover and candles, and the rest is the same as the Qingji, and then the moon and the stars and mountains are not painted, decreasing in turn.

Qingji ascended the altar to be sealed, and the national treasures should be displayed on the left and right, and now the treasures of Wu are all in Gusu, and they can't take out the congratulatory gifts of the countries as the national treasures of Wu, which is supposed to be shabby, but the dragon bones sent by the queen of Dongyi make up for this shortcoming.

The giant dragon skeleton fossils did not have a biologist to guide them to erect a dinosaur skeleton, the sergeants of the army dug a sacrificial pit in front of the altar according to their own imagination, and then put the huge dragon bones in the shape of the five-clawed golden dragon on the king's banner.

Qing Ji ascended the altar, by the jade seal, the royal flag, the yellow book, the map, and other political, economic, military and other aspects of the symbol of the utensils, in the auspicious time to pray to the heavens and the earth, sacrifice three animals in the heaven and earth, in the bronze tripod to burn the burnt wood, the cigarette rises, up to the sky, under the guidance of the warlock prayer dance, with the method of sacrifice to worship the moon, wind and thunder, the four hours; With the method of "looking" sacrifice, please visit the mountains and rivers in all directions; Then worship the dragon, burn incense and bury the dragon bones; Worship the ancestors, fathers, and sacrifice the head of Sima Zhuanyi of today's Wu State University to tell the soul of the deceased father in the sky.

Each of these sacrifices has different prayers, all of which are from the hands of her uncle and grandson, and in order to quote the scriptures, she wrote these prayers, but she didn't sleep for a few days.

But seeing her sweetheart ascend the loess altar and wear royal clothes to the world, her heart is sweeter than honey, even if she works harder, she doesn't feel anything.

From the moment Qingji ascended the altar, Ji Sun Xiaoman's gaze swirled around him.

These military careers have made his face a little more calm, his eyes a little more profound, and coupled with the addition of the royal robe, he has a bit of a kingly atmosphere, and Ji Sun Xiaoman can't help but be a little intoxicated, and his gaze towards Qingji has a bit of the fanaticism of the modern star chaser.

Thinking of these affectionate behaviors, a heart can't help but flutter and faint.

Qingji on the stage has a short mustache, compared with a year ago, he is a little more mature, although Ren Ruoxi in the audience remains calm on his face, but a pair of wonderful eyes still can't help but wander on Qingji.

This man has finally come to the day of recovering the country, although Gusu City has not yet been captured, and the external troubles of Yue Guo and her husband have not been cut off, but she believes that these will not be too difficult for this man.

Looking back on the intersection of the fates of the two over the past year or so, between the seemingly affectionate and the unintentional, the fate seems to have been predestined.

I remembered the proud saying he once said: If I can win the country, I will accept you as a concubine.

Now that the world has changed, whether it is her own heart or her own family fate, she has been pushed to this man's side, but beside him, there are already two flower-like girls, since he has been under the Qingji account, he has never talked to himself in private, looking at the attitude of leaving, but he hates my Ren family until the situation is about to clear up before making a choice Thinking of this, Ren Qingxi couldn't help but sigh.

After worshipping the gods and ancestors in order, he ascended to the throne, accepted the worship of the ministers and the envoys of various countries, and then danced with the honor guard, first martial arts and then literature, in order to show that the world was won by force and the rule of culture was peaceful.

Wen dance, martial dance, symbolizing the two ruling strategies of culture and martial arts, in the sound of music, the dance decorated with key, Zhai, heron and Yi appears, symbolizing Wende.

After the dance, the samurai danced on the stage with Gan, Ge, Qi, Yang, bow, and arrow, symbolizing martial arts.

A dance posture represents a word, the singer sings a word, the musician plays a rhyme, the dancer dances a movement, each gift has 32 dance postures, three gifts 96 dance postures, each dance posture is displayed, all like a beautiful group carving picture.

This scene was naturally an eye-opener in the eyes of the Dongyi envoy who had lost the country for a long time, and the Xuanniao girl looked at it with relish, Qingji glanced at her secretly, only to see that the girl reached into her arms from time to time, and then touched her lips, and the red lips moved, as if she was eating some snack.

Rao is Qingji has the memory of future generations, and he is not very in awe of this ceremony, and he can't help but sweat when he looks at it.

When all the rituals were finished, all the civil and military envoys sat down on the ground, and the feast of the new king's enthronement began.

The warriors of the Quartet of Honor are still standing still, and between the various phalanxes, the fire is blazing under the big wok, boiling beef, mutton and pork.

Under the canopy, the chef sweats profusely and prepares all kinds of food.

There is Ji Sun Xiaoman, who grew up in Lu Juju, in the middle of the command, and these military men who temporarily serve as chefs are also in order.

Especially when the army ascended the throne, everything was simple, and the food was originally limited, but Ji Sun Xiaoman's temporary training made a lot of new dishes, and made many new dishes of frying and frying in addition to the traditional dishes of cooking and marinating sauce, so as to make up for the lack of the enthronement banquet.

When it comes to the top, it's Ren Ruoxi's turn to help.

It is necessary to know that there are many rules for serving dishes and cloth dishes, and the dishes with bones are placed on the left side of the main seat, and the cut pure meat is placed on the right.

The food is placed to the left of the eater, and the soup is placed on the right.

Finely chopped and grilled meats are placed farther away, and vinegar and sauces are placed closer.

Steamed shallots and other condiments are placed on the side.

Drinks such as sake syrup are placed in the same direction as the soup.

For more details, if there is a dried beef breast, etc., put the curved one on the left and the straight one on the right.

Imagine that the Qingji army is full of martial artists, even if it is trained for ten days, who can remember such rules, if they are allowed to serve, this wine banquet will inevitably be chaotic, laughing at the world, and this solemn enthronement ceremony has also become a trouble.

The Ren family has a great business, it is unspeakably expensive, and there are many servants in the family to wait, and now the Ren family is rebelling, and these private slaves are all in the army.

They knew these cumbersome rules, and when they served the food, they did it in an orderly and unhurried manner, and they were amazed by the envoys of various countries, and they didn't know where Qingji, who had hastily ascended the throne outside the city, found so many well-trained servants to serve him, which added a little confidence in his ability to unify the Wu Kingdom.

"The envoys came from afar to congratulate each other, and the widows toasted the envoys with a glass and expressed their gratitude.

May I, the Kingdom of Wu, and the noble envoys, help each other, and always be friendly," Qingji held the bronze lord in his hand and said loudly.

When Qingji walked to the Dongyi envoy's table, the Xuanniao girl stood up with great interest, as if she wanted to clink glasses with Qingji, which startled Qingji, and hurriedly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees in front of her.

Xuan Niao said behind him: "The beads he wears on his crown are good, and the color is excellent, but he has a curtain on his face, so he is not afraid of falling while walking."

"Xuanniao", Dan Wu shouted helplessly on the side.

Qingji didn't hear it, and hurriedly walked towards the opposite seat with figure-eight steps Qingji toast has ended, back to the chairman, the guests of all countries salute, Qingji laughing and drinking, called sorrel.

Then Qingji poured wine into the cup, drank a cup by himself, and then persuaded the guests to drink, which was called reward wine.

Self-sacrifice and reciprocation are collectively called "the gift of one offering".

Before the second dedication, everyone can talk freely and drink as much as they like.

Qingji was toasted by the two uncles of Cover Yu and Candle Yong, then Sun Wu, Jing Lin, Liang Huzi, Chizhong, and then Ah Qiu and then Qiu again When the wine is half drunk, Qingji raised his glass, slowly paced a few steps forward, the envoys of various countries did not dare to drink more at the banquet of this kind of etiquette, they were very conscious, Qingji only moved, they were aware of it, and Wu Wang Qingji wanted to do the "two gifts", so some reached out to grab the cup, and some of the wine in the cup was empty, and hurriedly raised the pot to pour wine, the Xuanniao girl drank her face like a peach blossom, and at this time she only cared about whispering with a Dongyi woman beside her, but did not pay attention to his behavior.

The envoys of all countries were looking at Qingji, but Qingji's eyes looked into the distance, he was frequently toasted by the envoys and subordinates of various countries, his face was slightly drunk, the wind on the high platform was a little urgent, blowing his clothes and ribbons, the bead curtain on the crown also swayed slightly, and the eyes under the bead curtain were sometimes shining brightly.

Everyone turned their heads to follow his gaze, only to see that the direction Qingji was looking at was the head of Gusu City.

The majestic Gusu City stands outside the Three Arrows Land, the banner of the city is flying, but the figure of the person is not visible from afar.

Qingji stared at it for a long time, and suddenly lifted the bead curtain and drank all the wine "General, why don't we take advantage of Qingji's ascension to the throne to send troops to attack them," the bearded general Xue Jiao asked his husband.

The husband shook his head slightly: "When Qingji ascended the throne, its momentum was the highest, and it was very unwise to attack at that time.

The scouts who went to find Gou Jian of the Yue Kingdom have news."

"Not yet, Gou Jian is slippery like a snake, nearly 10,000 horses, actually hiding without a trace, more than ten scouts have been dispatched, and they haven't heard from him."

The husband sighed and muttered: "But now, we need this poisonous snake very much, without their cooperation, only relying on the husband in Gusu City, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat Qingji." ” The general was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, he agreed, hesitated and said: "However, we have received the news that all adult men and healthy women in the prime of life have been recruited into the army in Gusu City, and there are currently 40,000 or 50,000 people, can't we fight with Qingji?"

The husband stared at him, and saw that he lowered his head a little crampedly, and then snorted coldly: "A group of rabble, guarding the city wall and throwing stones, once they are killed out of the city, they are no different from cattle and sheep to be slaughtered."

At this time, Mu Qishe, the general under the husband, strode into the tent and said: "General, Qingji is the king, worships Sun Wu as the prime minister, and leads the three armies, and now he has sent troops to our trunk tunnel." ” The husband's eyes shrank slightly, and he sneered: "Leaving the siege of Gusu City and not fighting, and turning to attack my dry tunnel, is it that in the eyes of Qingji Xiaoer, my husband is a bone that is easy to gnaw."

Xue Jiao rejoiced: "The general is still prescient, repair the city as soon as possible, strengthen the city defense, let's defend according to the danger, Qingji wants to capture my dry tunnel city, I'm afraid it's not so cheap." ” The husband sneered and was about to give an order, but as soon as his hand was raised, a soldier hurriedly ran into the tent, clenched his fists and said, "General, the secret envoy of the Yue people is here to see you." ” "Oh, they actually came to the door by themselves, and they are invited soon."

In a few moments, several soldiers led a man in a kudzu robe and straw sandals and a hat into his Chinese army tent.

After the husband sat down on the case, the two generals on the left and right stood and asked, "It was Prince Goujian of Yue who sent you."

The man raised his head slightly, his bamboo hat was pressed very low, and he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, only to see the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and slowly raised his hand to take off the hat.

Look at his appearance, the long-necked beak of the bird, his appearance is not good, and his bearing is extremely calm.

The corner of the man's mouth hooked up slightly, and he smiled and said: "General Fu, the contemptible person is Gou Jian" To be continued:
