Chapter 532 Ascending the Altar and Founding the State


"Thank you to your friend Chu Muyu for your monthly pass, and your friend for a reward of 68 with a sword."

March 18, the spring breeze and Xu, the sun is ambiguous, this is an auspicious day for more than two million people in the military and civilians of the four states of Qingyan, Xu and Henan, Yang Yan will ascend the throne today, the Ming Kingdom will be formally established, they will also have their own country, can proudly claim that they are Ming people.

Ten miles south of Tancheng, a simple and atmospheric circular altar stands on the horizon, the altar is ten zhang circumferential, five zhang high, rammed earth is piled up, and three majestic seal characters are erected at the top: earth, man, and sky On all sides of the altar, there is a team of 10,000 cavalry stationed in each side, the armor is distinct, the swords and guns are bright, although the knights have solemn faces, their faces are more or less excited, and the periphery is densely surrounded by people, not only the people of Tancheng are almost pouring out of the nest, but there are also people from Yuqing and Yan Sanzhou who have come to watch the ceremony.

"Usually the sacrifice to the heavens must be sacrificed to the gods of Haotian and the emperors of the five directions, why the king did not sacrifice to the gods but sacrificed to the heavens, the earth and the people, you can know the reason" "Hey, it's lonely and unheard, the gods and Buddhas don't care about our life and death, otherwise why would the world be in chaos for two hundred years, if that's the case, why worship" "Yes, the king also said frankly that the establishment of the Ming Kingdom was established by the unity of all the people, so people were placed in the middle, and the heaven and earth that gave birth to us were placed on both sides, meaning people-oriented" "Look, Sky" "That's Qingyun."

"It's really Qingyun" In the sky, the morning sun poked out of a large thin cloud, as if splashed with oil paint by the gods, in an instant, the sky was covered with dazzling clouds, the fiery red glowing golden sunlight scattered in the clouds, green, purple, red and yellow and many other colors formed a piece of irregular colorful patterns, like a dragon, like a phoenix, like a unicorn, like a lot of mythical beasts changing and flying, mysterious and gorgeous For a moment, everyone was stunned, this was clearly the breath of the Son of Heaven Hanshu and astronomical chronicles have clouds: if the smoke is not smoke, if the clouds are not clouds, they are depressed, and Xiao Suo is full of wheels, which is called Qingyun, Qingyun sees, and is happy.

"Colorful patterns, like dragons and phoenixes, the king of the country, celebrating the clouds, this is a good omen" "Yes, the king is still mighty, not sacrificing to the gods, but the gods are rushing to present auspiciousness, which shows that my Ming luck is profound, and I will dominate the world in the future."

The splendid morning glow pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a stage peak, just when the people were gossiping and talking freely, when dangdang, the majestic bell chime sounded in the distance.

The crowd of onlookers quickly moved out of the way, and a guard of honor drove out of the south gate.

At the front is a crown carriage, Yang Yan and Ge Huiniang sit on it, Yang Yan is dressed in a crown dress, wearing a wide seven inches, one foot two inches long, green beads, Xuanshang, four inches in front, three inches in the back, tied with green jade beads for seven, with its ribbon color as the group of Pingtian crowns, Ge Huiniang is dressed in soap-colored temple clothes, holding a falling horse bun, wearing a phoenix crown, behind him are generals, officials and their respective relatives.

"I wish the king the establishment of the country, the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and the rule of the world" I don't know who started it, and the people who greeted each other bowed down in turn and congratulated loudly.

Ge Huiniang's dignified face was dyed with a layer of red, a little nervous, and a little excited, and she couldn't help but clench Yang Yan's wrist.

Yang Yan smiled back, then raised his hand and said loudly, "Everyone, please get up."

The distance of ten miles is not long, but the speed of the convoy is slow, and it took half an hour for the chariot to reach the bottom of the altar.

Seeing Yang Yan and Ge Huiniang stepping out of the carriage, Xi Jian waved his hand violently.

Suddenly, the sound of ceremonial music was loud, rendering a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and then, Xi Jian Shi said: "The ministers ordered the Taishi to choose Yuanchen, and at the beginning of the eighteenth month of this month, they can be ordered to go to the altar, please edict the three princes, the secretaries, the soldiers, and the people, with etiquette and other performances, please invite the king and the princess to the altar."

It stands to reason that there is no precedent for queens or princesses to ascend the altar in the Han and Jin dynasties, and the women's altar to worship the sky began in the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian, but Yang Yan felt that he had no time to be at home and owed Hui Niang, so he insisted on taking Hui Niang to the altar, which advanced this significant historical process by hundreds of years.

Yang Yan did not return the salute to Xi Jian, and replied lightly: "But" and then slowly climbed onto the altar with Hui Niang.

There are three major steps for the emperor to ascend the throne, reading the policy, awarding the seal, and burning the heaven and earth.

Xi Jian waved his hand again, and the sound of the ritual music stopped abruptly, and then he also climbed on the altar, holding the book and reciting: "On March 18, the third year of Jin Taining, the Ming Wang Yanzhi was humble and merciful, the British name was Shenwu, and it was appropriate to serve the suburban temple, and the great cause of unification was opened.

The essay is very long, focusing on recalling Yang Yan's journey along the way, highlighting the rationality and legitimacy of the founding of the country.

After Xi Jian finished reading, it was Situ Cuiwan's turn to appear, and Cui Woo was promoted to Situ not long ago and was in charge of civil affairs.

Cui Wan held the seal ribbon in his hand, climbed the altar, and knelt down to Yang Yan facing the east and said: "Today, the ministers and hundreds of officials present the Ming Wang seal and ribbon to the king."

Yang Yan took the scarf, raised his hand and said, "Please Situ get up."

"Thank you to the king" Cui Wan stood up and stepped aside.

At this time, Xi Jian shouted again: "Please sacrifice to the sky with the king and princess" and held fruits and vegetables.

Yang Yan and Hui Niang took it separately, and presented it to several cases in front of heaven, earth and people, and performed a big ceremony, and Xi Jian, Cui Wan, and the officials and people under the altar also bowed to the ground.

Not long after, Yang Yan and Hui Niang got up, everyone stood up, Yang Yan took the file from the desk again, faced everyone, his eyes swept one by one, there was Qiao Niang, there was joy in her beautiful eyes, there was Jin Yuehua, although she was dressed dignified, but the charm of her whole body could not be concealed, and there was mercy and fragrance, not long ago she was named Liangdi, and her beautiful face was condensed with a trace of tenderness.

There are not so many sayings about the princesses, under the princess is Liangdi, the original meaning is the crown prince's concubine, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was extended to the princess's concubine under the princess, Yang Yan sealed Qiao Niang, Jin Yuehua and Lian Xiang together, and Lian Xiang and Jin Yuehua honored Qiao Niang as Da Liangdi.

Xixiang and Lingxiang volunteered to give Hui Niang as their maids, so they were not sealed, and the rest of the women did not pass the door, in fact, Yang Yan's wives and concubines were Hui Niang, Qiao Niang, Jin Yuehua and Lian Xiang. can be named Liangdi, and Lianxiang, who was born as a song and dance girl, is already satisfied.

There are also Ge Hong and his wife, even if they are bent on seeking Taoism, they are ruddy at this time, looking at Yang Yan and Huiniang excitedly, Xu Jie and his wife, they look like they are honored, but it may be that there are too many people, Yang Yan did not see Cui Ling and Xi Xuan.

And the vast majority of people have solemn faces, for them, this is a sacred moment, and for Yang Yan himself, it is also a peak of life.

Yang Yan couldn't help but secretly wonder, whether his soul came to this troubled world, whether it was accidental, or whether there was a providence in the dark, but there was obviously no answer.

"Hmm" Yang Yan suddenly saw Lu Huizhi, her eyes were clear, looking at herself, like a hollow valley orchid, and she felt out of place with the fiery atmosphere around her.

Suddenly, Yang Yan smiled and opened the file to read the lawsuit.

"The emperor is vast, the earth is full of virtue, the favor is surrendered, belongs to Yan Li Yuan, as a parent, I dare not be, the group is a hundred pieces, do not agree with the same words, Xian said: Jin Zuo lost morality, the country and the mountains were swinging, the people were displaced, I was angry and raised the army, broke the stone tiger in Tancheng, Zhu Su Jun, Liu Yao in Dingtao, pacified the Central Plains, the sea was graced, the heart of heaven and earth, and the lower Yuan Yuan returned.

The prophecy said: Yang Yanzhi sent troops to arrest the Tao, Binghuo Xiude under the day, I still stubbornly resigned, as for the re, as for the three, the group said: The emperor's great destiny, can not be kept, dare not respect because of the virtue of self-reliant, still rely on the pro-virtuous, a total of new governance, its next year for the first year of the Ming Hongwu, amnesty to the world, and the people to change the beginning, all matters of cooperation, listed below" The whole sacrificial text, sprinkled with hundreds of words, all completed by Yang Yan himself, Cui Wan, Diao Xie, Xi Jian and other old guys couldn't help exchanging helpless eyes, there was no Haotian God, Wufang Emperor and other gods throughout the text, and Yang Yan did not humbly call Yanzhi, but called himself me The emperor's enthronement ceremony can not be equated with the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven, although Yang Yan said that it is the throne of the Ming Dynasty, but the ceremony is no different from the emperor's throne, the emperor's enthronement ceremony has only two links, that is, reading the policy and conferring the seal, and the burning of the sky is equivalent to the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven.

Since the Han Dynasty, the emperor has taken the Son of Heaven as his official title, which is intended to show that he has established a virtual blood relationship with heaven, and the power is given by God, and the intention of the divine right of the monarch is very clear.

The acquisition of divine power through the divine right of kings needs to be distinguished from secular power, which is realized by the emperor's accession to the throne, and the acquisition of divine power is a burning fire.

Rites, Qu Lizai: Twenty crowns and words for men, the name of the father and the son, the name of the minister before the king, Yang Yan should be humbly called Yanzhi when worshipping the sky, in order to show that the relationship between father and son is established with the sky, and the essence of burning the sky is to perform the child ceremony, such as Liu Xiu, the emperor of Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, said that he did not dare to be, omitted the surname Liu in front of the sky, and belonged to the name of the father and the son, indicating that Liu Xiu and the sky established a father-son relationship, but Yang Yan called himself me, and he was establishing an equal relationship with the sky.

Ordinary people don't care, but these Confucian scholars have a lot of them when they hear it.

Yang Yan and Tianping have a dialogue, according to Confucianism, it is disrespectful, but what can Yang Yan have already made his attitude clear, and he can only smile bitterly.

At this time, Yang Yan beckoned down, Xun Hu walked up to the altar with a tray in his hand, with jade tools, Suihou beads and swords, and handed it to Cui Wan, who bowed again: "The minister thanked the king for the gift."

These three things are symbolic royal treasures, and Cui Wan, as Situ, represents the hundred officials, and Yang Yan gave this thing to exhort the ministers.

After Cui Wan took over the three treasures, Yang Yan turned to the audience again and said loudly: "Princess, now that I am in the Ming country, I am waiting to be revived, and I hope that you will be conscientious and conscientious, and you will be in a hurry to bear the trust of the people of the Ming country."

"Long live the king, long live the king, long live the king" The officials and the relatives and people who came to watch the ceremony all bowed down, and the tens of thousands of elite horsemen also knelt on one knee, touching their chests with one hand and holding spears in the other, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted long live in unison, and the sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the sky :。
