"The entrance ceremony has officially begun, and I am dressed up" The master of ceremonies was presided over by the director of the General Administration of Education, Sima Caizhang, the temple of Wenxuan Wang in Hanjing, and the emperor came to watch the ceremony.
Today's entrance ceremony is a grand and unusual scene.
Major newspapers began to promote it as early as a few days ago.
Everyone in Beijing knew that the Frankish king Clovis was going to worship Confucius today, even under the official instructions.
The press has long been speculating about King Clovis's early life in Hanjing, and now, as a king, he yearns for China and admires Confucianism, and intends to teach Confucianism to the West.
Under Sima Caizhang's loud singing and drinking.
Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, stepped forward and personally sorted out the placket for Clovis.
Kong Yingda, as the thirty-first descendant of Kong Sage, is also more grand on this occasion today.
As one of the nine scholars of the Hanlin Academy, he has also served as the priest of the country.
Sima Caizhang is also a well-known Confucian master, he stood on one side and said in a loud voice, "Clothing not only means to cover shame, but more importantly, it reflects people's spiritual outlook."
The so-called first dressed, then reasonable.
Clothing is the best carrier for us to recall the excellent virtues of our ancestors, and it is also the first step for people to know the book and reason. ” Today, Clovis has also changed the Frankish clothing habits, not only changed into a Confucian shirt, but even his shoulder-length hair was pulled up, tied into a bun, and put on a crown.
His expression was solemn and solemn.
Kong Yingda finished dressing for him, and then a famous Confucian king Gong took him to worship the statue of Confucius.
Sima Caizhang was next to him teaching Clovis the ritual of worshiping Confucius.
"To worship Confucius, we have to bow three times and bow nine times, hold the right hand with the left hand, yes, just raise it to the position of the eyebrows, and then first bow and bow.
Then the hand hangs down, then kneels, and then in the shape of the hand of the arched hand, the hand goes down, to the ground, the left hand presses the right hand, in the shape of a cross, put it into the middle of the hand and the body, knock three times, stay for a while, and then get up, repeat twice, three bows and nine knocks. ” Clovis bowed three times and bowed nine times, and he did not feel any discomfort in kneeling down to an ancient oriental.
Worshipping God Christ is worship, and worshipping Eastern Confucian Confucius is also worshipping.
Behind God is Rome, and behind Confucius is Dahua, and now the Romans still have to ask Dahua for help, so what's wrong with him Clovis directly worshipping Confucius.
At the end of the ceremony, Wang Gong also put a little cinnabar on Clovis's forehead.
This cinnabar is also known as the wisdom of remembering, opening the eyes of the sky, which means that the eyes are clear and the heart is clear.
Wang Gong took the pen and personally recorded Clovis's name in a roster, which is Dahua's academic roster, and the enrolled students will be recorded in the academic book.
Because Dahua official schools are respected by Confucianism, students are also called Confucian students.
When his name was recorded in the school register, he became a Confucian protégé.
Zhang Chao stepped forward with a smile and helped Clovis from under the statue of Kong Sheng.
"Your Majesty, from now on, you are an official Confucian protégé."
Clovis shook the Emperor's hand very hard, forgetting the faux pass in his excitement.
Today, Clovis converted to Confucianism and worshiped Confucius, just as his ancestor Clovis I converted to Catholicism and was baptized.
At this moment, countless people witnessed it.
In order to show the friendly alliance between China and France, the Dahua Emperor Zhang Chaote and Clovis became brothers, and Zhang Chao also gave Clovis a Chinese name, Zhang Yuan.
In the Temple of Literature, after the entrance ceremony, under the witness of hundreds of officials, Zhang Chao and Clovis burned incense and paper, beheaded the white horse and green ox and swore an oath, and married Jinlan.
"Big Brother" Clovis bowed to Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao smiled and helped Clovis up, "Second brother."
"Big brother."
"Second Brother" The two held hands and laughed at each other.
This head knocked down, Clovis knocked out a big brother of the Central Plains Emperor, and his heart was stable, this trip to Dahua was not in vain.
With Zhang Chao's eldest brother, it is not easy for him to regain Frank's power.
Even if you want to carry out reforms in the Franks, you can get a lot of help by learning many of the new systems of the Han family.
"Tomorrow, I will crown your second brother" Clovis almost cried with joy.
Crowned emperor, he will also be emperor.
The Son of Heaven, the Roman Caesar Augustus, the King of Kings of Persia, the Arab Caliphate, and now, there is a new Frankish emperor.
It sounds strange to have one emperor crowned another.
But according to the explanation given by Dahua, although it was Zhang Chao who crowned Clovis, Zhang Chao did not crown Clowe as Emperor Dahua, but crowned Clowe as the Son of Heaven.
Although it is said that the Son of Heaven also means the emperor, strictly speaking, there are some differences.
When Zhang Chao ascended the throne, he first succeeded to the throne of the Son of Heaven and then to the emperor.

It is the two ceremonies, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, the agent of Heaven on earth, and the Emperor, which is equivalent to the supreme ruler of the secular state.
The two titles of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor of the Central Plains are together, which actually represent two identities.
Now Zhang Chao uses the identity of the Son of Heaven to crown Clovis, which reflects a very subtle meaning.
If you use the explanation of the Dahua court, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, of course, there is only one day.
Whether he is the heaven of the Central Plains, or he is in the Americas, Australia, Africa, Europe and other places, it is a day.
So theoretically speaking, with this system of the Son of Heaven, you can actually put the whole world into it.
In this way, Emperor Dahua, as the Son of Heaven, is of course the Son of Heaven in the whole world.
As the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chao is naturally qualified to crown the Frankish king of the world as emperor.
Therefore, Clovis became the emperor after being crowned, which sounds the same as Zhang Chao's status, but in fact, under this set of explanations from the imperial court, Clovis is still one level lower than Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao is not only the emperor, but also the son of heaven.
Clovis didn't understand any of this, and even if he did, he didn't care.
The Roman emperor was deified long ago and became a god.
The caliph of the Abel people, also known as the heir of Allah.
In the past, the Persian emperors were called kings of kings, and no matter how these emperors called themselves, the essence would not change.
It is not uncommon for Emperor Dahua to call himself the son of heaven.
Anyway, after he was crowned, he went from king to emperor, and Franks from kingdom to empire.
From then on, the Franks ceased to be part of Rome, and he ceased to be a vassal of the Roman emperor.
And even if Zhang Chao crowns him, he will not be Zhang Chao's courtier in the future.
The relationship between him and Zhang Chao is that of brothers, allies, and allies between the two countries.
As for Dahua being the leader of the alliance, so what.
Fang Xuanling stood on the side, looking at the affectionate looks of Zhang Chao and Clovis, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
But my heart is very heavy.
At the time of the Tang Dynasty, it was also under the leadership of Zhang Chao that there was an alliance of the Three Emperors.
But at that time, in fact, even Emperor Li Shimin was not very concerned about the situation in distant Central Asia and Europe.
If it weren't for Zhang Chao's insistence, maybe the emperor would not have included the distant places of Daxia, Hezhong, Xihai, and even Xindu into the boundaries of Dahua, and sent troops to station, or even divided the princes to develop and operate.
And now in the Xindu Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the Mediterranean, there will not be Chinese maritime merchants flying the Dahua flag everywhere.
If it weren't for these strategies, Dafang would not have had the same influence in the West as it does today.
Now not only the Roman Empire and the Arab Empire are vying to borrow money from Dahua, but even borrowing money from tariffs and concessions, vying to curry favor with Dahua.
Even the Frankish kingdom took the initiative to convert to Confucianism and asked the Son of Heaven to crown him.
These influences bring huge benefits, which are not purely face, but real, tangible benefits.
The huge foreign trade system is a huge profit, not to mention the huge military trade orders brought back by meddling in the situation in the West, as well as the high interest brought by the loans.
Dahua is now supplying itself with a steady stream of blood from these countries.
The Frankish king became the Frankish Emperor, became the sworn brother of the Dahua Emperor, became an ally of the Dahua Empire, and became a trading partner.
If you put aside the political point of view, then this alliance also brings a broader market to Dahua.
A new market, a new market that is about to be developed, a new market that brings more benefits to Dahua.
From the beginning of Zhenguan to open up the sea trade, from that time began to open up the industry and commerce, to now, has gone through 20 years.
In the Central Plains, whether it is the gray-haired old man, or the young students in the school, or the workers in the factory workshop, or the businessman who runs south and north, or the princes of the court, in fact, everyone has a consensus now, that is, the reform and opening up has made everyone rich, let everyone solve the problem of food and clothing, and make the court strong.
The people are rich and the country is strong.
All this depends on reform and opening up.
The reform and new policies that began in the Zhenguan Dynasty have been continuously implemented and even innovated until now.
These new policies have brought about today's prosperity, stability, prosperity, strength and tranquility.
The opening up under the New Deal, especially the seafaring trade and foreign conquest and colonization, made Dahua more and more powerful.
Twenty years ago, the Tang Dynasty was still under the threat of the Turkic iron cavalry.
Even Goguryeo in the northeast and Tuyuhun in the northwest can't solve it, let alone meddle in the more distant west.
Once upon a time, the Central Plains could only barely manage the Hexi Corridor, and it became a dream of the monarchs and ministers to recover the Western Regions and restore the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Twisting his head, a few tears slipped through the corners of Fang Xuanling's eyes.
He muttered in his heart and sighed to the Far East, "You are wrong, Zhang Chao took us farther and better, I used to hesitate and doubt, but now I am unswerving."
If you can see the situation today, you will also be proud of Dahua. ” The Son of Heaven held the King of Frank in his hand and laughed loudly together.
"Big brother," Clovis couldn't help but shout again. t1706231537:
