In the third year of King Xiaocheng of Yan, early March.

Ji Kang's father, King Xiaocheng Ji Ming, was buried in the royal tomb. According to King Xiaocheng's last wish, Ji Kang's eldest brother Ji Xi's mother, Ji Ying, was posthumously named "Queen" and buried in the tomb, on the right side of King Xiaocheng's coffin.

On the left side of King Xiaocheng of Yan, there is a coffin.

It is not to be ignored that this is left to Ji Kang's mother, Empress Dowager Yan Ji Zhao.

The Book of Zhou stipulates: The emperor: five coffins, two coffins, seven coffins; king: three coffins, two coffins, five coffins; princes: two coffins, four coffins; nobles: two coffins, three coffins; scholars: one coffins, one coffins, two coffins; common people: one coffins, no coffins, or no coffins,

According to King Xiaocheng's will, his burial was extremely simple.

There was only a small amount of porcelain, the swords, telescopes he gave him, the car he rode, etc. According to the new laws of Yan State, there were no living things in the burial objects, but other items that were fired or forged were replaced.

Prince Xi, who was far away in Wuyang City, Xiadu, was unable to return to Jidu due to the edict of King Xiaocheng. He could only cry in his own mansion in Wuyang City, and set up a sacrificial hall according to the new mourning laws of Yan State to worship his father and mother from afar.

On the sixth day of the third month, it’s auspicious.

Before dawn, Ji Kang took a shower and changed his clothes while waiting for the attendants, making various preparations.

There are many things happening today. First, I will take my father Ji Ming’s spiritual position into the Taimiao, and then I will sacrifice to the sky.

In this way, it can be considered as the official ascending the throne as the King of Yan.

In the early morning, in front of the Taimiao next to the Ji Palace of Yanguo, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The civil and military officials in the entire Yan State court, as well as the royal family, stood neatly in the square outside the Taimiao.

In front is Ji Kang, the king of Yan who is about to ascend the throne.

The two men, Su Dai, who were sent to various countries, had returned to Jidu.

Su Dai and Jiang Qu came back day and night on the way back to Jidu. After learning about the death of King Ji Ming of Yan, Su Dai and Jiang Qu came back day and night.

The time has come, and Su Dai of the Pavilion went out of the line and shouted loudly:

"My monarch of the 42 states of Yan State, Ming, was posthumously named Xiaocheng, worshipped the ancestral temple, and enjoyed the sacrifice of all ages."

"Greatly send me King Xiaocheng of Yan State!"

Ji Kang, who stood in the forefront of civil and military officials and royal relatives, took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Greatly send me King Xiaocheng of Yan State!"

The civil and military officials behind Ji Kang, the royal family members followed Ji Kang and bowed and shouted.

Zong Zheng Ji Ming held the spiritual throne of King Xiaocheng of Yan and walked into the Taimiao, which was dedicated to the kings of Yan State for all dynasties.

Ji Kang and civil and military officials followed closely behind.

After Ji Ming placed King Xiaocheng's spiritual card, he retreated behind Ji Kang.

Ji Kang, civil and military officials and royal relatives, knelt down together.

After the bowing, Ji Kang stood up and looked at the spiritual throne of the kings of Yan State for all dynasties, and his eyes became more and more calm.

According to the system, in the ancestral temple, Ji Kang would wear a crown, wear the sword of the king, and take the seal of the king of Yan to complete his official transformation to the king of Yan under the witness of the previous kings of all dynasties.

Su Dai presided over today's etiquette and came out and shouted again: "The new king wears a crown and a crown."

In the golden plate brought by the attendants, Ji Kang wore the Nine-Blade crown and wore the Nine-Chapter Crown Clothing. His clothes were painted with five chapters of dragons, mountains, flower insects, fire, and Zongyi; his clothes were embroidered with algae, pink rice, fu, and four chapters of patterns, totaling nine chapters.

After finishing his clothes, Ji Kang stepped forward and sucked incense, prayed to the spiritual cards of the kings of Yan State for all generations:

"The ancestors and descendants of Ji's family, Kang, ascended the throne as the 43rd generation monarch of our Yan Kingdom. Ji Kang will do his best to fulfill the wishes of the previous kings of all dynasties, so that our Ji's country will be unified again..."

Incense is lingering for a long time.

After that, we went to the altar in the southern suburbs to worship the sky.

Ji Kang rode a carriage and headed from the Taimiao to the altar in the southern suburbs.

The bells are clear and bright along the way, and the singing and music are beautiful.

Next to Ji Kang's carriage, the "dragon flag" representing Ji Kang's throne is fluttering in the wind.

The difference between the Emperor's Dragon Banner and the Prince's Dragon Banner is that the Emperor's Dragon Banner has sun and moon but the princes have no.

"The Book of Zhou·Chun Guan·Zongbo": "The sun and the moon are constant, and the dragon is the flag." It also says: "The emperor rides a dragon, carries a big flag, like the sun and the moon, raises the dragon, and descends the dragon... The king's five routes: one is Jade Rou, Jian, Fan Ying ten times again, builds a big flag, builds a big flag, and has the same surname as a seal..."

Tian Guang, Han Fei and Ju Wu led thousands of palace guards, surrounded Ji Kang's carriage, and walked slowly and slowly.

The soldiers along the way raised their heads and chests, stood in sequence, and were on guard.

The people of Jidu knelt on both sides of the street and worshiped the new king Jikang of Yan State.

As the carriages moved forward, tens of thousands of people on both sides of the road were shouting like tsunamis:

"My king will never last for thousands of years! No matter how long is it!"

"My king will never last for thousands of years! No matter how long is it!"

...

Ji Kang, who was in the car, watched all this and listened to all this.

Even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, he couldn't help but feel excited!

This is my subject! This is my people!

It has been eighteen years since we arrived in this era. It is really not easy! We have pacified bandits, cultivated fields, built roads and canals, developed industries, established schools, and expanded territory...

In the past eighteen years, I have finally come to this point today, enjoying the cheers and worship of all people and even millions of people!

Ji Kang was in the carriage and thought of his previous life, and then he thought of everything he had done in this life.

I suddenly woke up.

Whether it is the past or present life, I am me.

I, Ji Kang, will always be a part of China. When I come to this era, I must fulfill my mission and responsibilities!

It is our responsibility to protect China and bring more civilization and advanced things to China.

I want to end this troubled times in China and recreate prosperity and peace on the land of China.

I want to lead the Chinese people to resist the invasion of foreigners, start from the Great Wall, and plant the Chinese flag further away.

Mountains descend and valleys rise, but one's ambitions will never change.

Thinking of this, Ji Kang's face couldn't help but flush.

It was not until the carriage stopped that Ji Kang realized that he had arrived at the altar for offering sacrifices to heaven.

After getting off the carriage, I found that all the civil and military officials were kneeling under the altar and waiting for him.

Ji Kang smiled with his eyes and said to all civil and military officials: "All the ministers are calm."

"Thank you, your lord."

At this time, the Prime Minister Su Dai came out again and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, play music."

Gao Jianli, under the altar, directed the band. As soon as he opened his arms, he immediately made a loud music.

The chimes are solemn, the great Lu is exciting, and the sheng and flute are beautiful.

An official from the Ministry of Rites responsible for offering sacrifices to heaven stepped forward and guided Ji Kang in front of him.

Under the guidance of this ritual official, Ji Kang stepped onto the platform step by step.

The etiquette of the king's sacrifice to heaven and the emperor's sacrifice to heaven is basically the same.

The Book of Zhou stipulates: "The emperor and the king sacrifice to heaven, and the princes sacrifice to earth." Generally, the emperor or the king holds a ceremony to worship the heaven when he ascends the throne; in addition, it is to worship the heaven again in the winter of October every year, so as to receive blessings from heaven in the Hebei period.

After Ji Kang came to the high platform, he completed various rituals of sacrifice to heaven.

How to say it! In total, Ji Kang traveled back and forth from the middle platform to the upper platform nineteen times, knelt down thirty times, and kowtowed 66 times. In this way, he completed various rituals of sacrifice to heaven.

Looking at the Emperor Haotian in front of him, the divine cards from God and even the kings of Yan Kingdom.

In the solemn vocal music, Ji Kang prayed to God:

"My minister Ji Kangjin reported to God: Today, the emperor is in trouble, my Zhou family, Ji's surname is weak, the princes are in conflict, the people are living in poverty, and the people in the world all hope to return to the lord."

"My minister Ji Kang ascended the throne as King of Yan with his insignificant body. He wished to inherit the virtue of God's favorable life and to inherit the long-cherished wishes of the people of the world. He would work hard day and night to plan national affairs and people's livelihood, eradicate tyranny, unify the world, and promote our China."

"This is the heartfelt words of Ji Kang. Ji Kang's ambition will remain unchanged throughout his life. I am going to heaven to understand my heart."

As Ji Kang's prayer was completed, the smoke pillars of ignited sacrifices on the high platform soared into the sky.

The white clouds in the sky gradually turned into a red phoenix bird, and the people of Jidu seemed to hear a crisp phoenix chirping.

A breeze came, and the grass on the ground began to turn green, and the thousands of flowers revealed the fragrance of the stamens.

These thousands of changes in weather made all the officials and people of Jidu feel awe.

Ge Xiangju Xin knelt down on the ground, covered in tears, and said loudly:

"Tian Xing, my great Yan, my destiny is in my Yan Kingdom!"

"My king has no life! No life!"

With Ju Xin's cry, all the officials and people watching the ceremony around the altar knelt on the ground together.

Looking at the figure of the young king on the platform, shouting in unison:

"My king has no life! No life!"

"Our Yan Kingdom will never last for thousands of years! It will never last for thousands of years!"

...

On the sixth day of the third month of King Xiaocheng of Yan.

Ji Kang, the 43rd generation king of Yan State, officially ascended the throne as King of Yan.
Chapter completed!
