1493 Three words and five concessions

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was finally held as scheduled without any danger. As King Liang took the stage to worship the sky, Du He stepped out with a dark face and arranged some matters to clean up the situation.

The first thing he ordered was to strictly control the food supply inside and outside Luoyang City, and to strictly control the martial law at all border gates, and prohibit people from bringing a large amount of meals to the city.

Although the enthusiasm of the people to participate in the persuasion is extremely high, the enthusiasm cannot be used as a meal. This ceremony will last for nine days. People must not eat or drink, and participate in the ceremony from beginning to end. As long as they can control their diet, the scale of the people watching the ceremony will definitely be reduced later, so that they can return to the right way after the ceremony.

Next is to inform the officials of counties and townships around Heluo. No matter what method they use, they should quickly attract the people who belong to their jurisdiction to govern. At the same time, they must avoid vicious incidents of severe punishment. Especially before and after the ceremony, if any case is found, one case must be severely punished and will never be tolerated!

As for what county and township officials should do, it will test their own wisdom. Du He, the central official, cannot make up for the loss of time they work hard.

The most important thing is that the defense around Luoyang City has to be further improved. This is not too late to remedy. The old Luo Army City was already stationed with enough royal divisions, and in the next few days, there were several royal divisions of Jiankang going north and Guiluo in Bingzhou. Among them, King Liang had already arranged for Xiao Yuandong, who had returned from Taiyuan to replace the elderly, sick and weak Huan Xuan to preside over the defense of Heluo.

Du He, the head of the Taiwan University, has been working hard recently. He has to preside over the ceremony affairs of King Liang, and the daily affairs of Taiwan should not be slackened. More importantly, in the future, Taiwan will officially become the administrative center of Taiwan. Officials will conduct entrustment and accumulation, and various official positions will clearly define the division of powers, and they also need to be launched together, which is really busy.

The order for sacrifice to heaven was a total of nine days, including three high-sacrifices, more than thirty times. Since the King of Liang personally participated in the ceremony, the specifications of some of the festivals also needed to be adjusted in time. The nine days were busy and fulfilling for everyone participating, but they were finally completed without omissions.

Fortunately, the remedy was still timely after the Taiwan ceremony. In addition to the busy mistakes in the first day, the number of people watching the ceremony decreased sharply in the next few days. On the day of the ceremony, basically only the people who were in Luoyang City were still staying to watch the ceremony. But even so, from Luoyang City to the suburbs, there were still tens of thousands of people gathered along the way. After all, the number of residents in Luoyang has reached hundreds of thousands.

On the day of the ceremony, the Liang King's rituals were different. The yellow house was left with a flag and the phoenix flag hung on the flag, just like the emperor's rituals. In front of the two thousand victorious martial arts bravely opened the road and clean the street. Later, the ministers followed the scenery and turned back to Luoyang City in a mighty manner.

Luoyang City has also made many arrangements in the past few days. Lights are hung on both sides of the Yujie Road, and the walls of each side of the neighborhood are painted red and purple, making them look brand new.

After receiving the order to sacrifice to heaven, Taiyuan no longer needs to be concealed. The Forbidden Garden Palace is called Taiji Palace, with three front and back halls in Taiji Palace, and two sides on the left and right sides. The Hanyuan Hall of the middle hall is where the monarchs meet the ministers and hold the ceremony.

King Liang Yi went straight outside Hanyuan Hall. After the ministers invited him three times, the King Liang got off the car and entered the hall. The imperial bed in the middle of the hall was decorated with a seal of the imperial seal that was ordered from the sky. As King Liang entered the hall, the ministers also entered one after another.

The previous three rituals were disrupted by the enthusiastic people, but the five rituals still needed to continue. After King Liang climbed the hall, he stopped in the place outside the imperial bed and worshiped the sky in front of the north. Then he looked back at the ministers and recommended them to the north, asking the ministers to choose a virtuous and virtuous choice to ascend the throne to the north, so the ministers naturally bowed.

This first time I entered the hall was just a small demonstration of sovereignty. After that, King Liang withdrew from Hanyuan Hall and temporarily lived in the side hall. In terms of clothing, he changed the black-blocked knees and purple-gold ribbons representing the king.

After that, there was nothing to say. On the next day, it was no longer the ministers' courtesy invitation, but the central government selected the virtuous elders of the country. Cui Yue, Lu Chen and others hoped that the noble old ministers would continue to enter the palace to persuade them to enter and respectfully request the throne.

So on this day, King Liang continued to ascend to the hall, looked at his seat, and continued to push the throne to the south, asking all the ministers to choose the virtuous and virtuous people in the south to take charge of national affairs. On this day, the ministers from Wu and Chu refused to accept the resignation.

After retreating to the hall again, the bedroom where King Liang lived was named "Mingde Hall", and King Liang's clothing and decorations were changed, with a plain red wrap.

On the third day, the court officials who had more than 2,000 stones continued to persuade them to advance, and repeated yesterday's process and gave them to the wise in the east. On the fourth day, the heads of Fang Bo from all fronts continued to persuade them to advance, and gave them to the wise in the west.

Until the fifth day, not only the ministers came in, but also the virtuous and virtuous people in the wild, the chiefs or envoys of the six barbarians, and a total of 3,000 continued to gather outside the Hanyuan Hall to persuade them to advance again.

This time, King Liang was in the middle and gave in, and continued to be unwilling to let the ministers. After these five arbitrages, they finally expressed their stubbornness to the fullest. King Liang made wisely rejected several times, and finally sat on the imperial bed with grievance at noon on that day.

But this is not a formal ascension to the throne and emperor. It only means that King Liang was first given the order of heaven and was able to order his ministers. After sitting on the bed for a while, he instructed his close ministers to tell the ministers that you are too bullying me and insisting on forcing me to force me to the throne. But I am also a kind and humble person who is unwilling to disobey everyone's wishes, so I can only accept it.

But the prestige of the country is by no means a hasty matter. Your sincere feelings caught me off guard, but you should not rush to slap the destiny of heaven, because they are going back to raise ceremony and respect the destiny of heaven.

After the ceremony was completed on this day, although the King of Liang had not officially ascended the throne, he could have abandoned his old title and called himself the emperor. After retiring from the palace, he officially replaced the emperor's crown and retreated to the Liang Palace, waiting for the ministers to prepare for the throne ceremony.

After half a month, Shen Zhezi felt the most profoundly not the majesty and joy of the first control of the monarchy, but the deep fatigue. In his opinion, this whole set of cumbersome etiquette is not so much a demonstration of the solemnity of destiny and the throne, but rather a joint action by the government and the public to give him the new emperor a warning.

But from another perspective, this is not his absolute control over the general trend. With his current momentum, of course, he can pass through this cumbersome process and directly become an emperor. However, the reason why the ceremony is meaningful is that it is a political formal contract. The Xinliang regime is based on the people's righteousness, and it is not just a domineering power based on martial arts.

Although this kind of etiquette has different political reasons, it has the same intention, that is, to make the rationality of one's regime's mandate have a direct and extensive connection with the general public's voice and wish expression as much as possible, and to give people a sense of participation.

If there was no such process, once the Liang Dynasty declined in the future, some people would swear to the royal family of Shen, Hu, the Hus, the people, and the great achievements of saving the world, how could the family do it? At that time, millions of heroes fought against Hu. When they succeeded, Shen was arrogant because of his achievements, without caring about the feelings of the masses, and he took this special merit as his private specialty!

What people rely on will be counter-attacks. Shen Zhezi could not predict whether the descendants of future generations were virtuous or foolish, but when the situation was still completely controlled, he would be spared from such criticisms. People's power changed and changeable. Who can say that today's people praise the great wise men who save the world, and will not become the great evil of future generations who criticize the stolen merits? Don't be afraid of yourselves, be respectful behind you.

Of course, few people would not enjoy this kind of fatigue. After returning to the old residence, his mood was always in a delicate excitement.

Of course, except for Shen Zhezi who also had to maintain a calm and quiet feeling in his heart, the rest of his family had already been so excited that they could not help themselves.

Turning a family into a country is just four short words. In the long history of Zhuxia Shenzhou, how many families can enjoy this honor! How many people can truly take this step?

Chen Chong arrived in Luoyang on the third day of the Five Arrangement Ceremony. In order to avoid losing his composure in front of others, he stayed in the door and sat alone in a quiet room, unable to sleep day and night.

When Shen Zhezi Gunmian returned to the residence, he saw that his father's face was flushed and his eyes were even more congested. He was shocked: "It's already a sure thing to go to this point. Father, why should you be so anxious and exhaust yourself?"

"I, I just... Alas, you don't have to persuade me, I don't know how to tell myself, but, before this, who can tell Shen Shiju has this day... Heaven loves you, justice will live up to... My family, my family can wait until this time, and how much virtue has accumulated in the spring of the ancestors, so that my father and son can be so honored..."

Chen Chong was still so excited that he was speechless and his emotions were surging. He had no idea how to express it appropriately. He danced and cried. Even when he was out of control, he wanted to thank his son for his grand gift to make the family prosperous to such an extent. Shen Zhezi was so scared that he jumped out of the room step by step, fearing that he would witness his father's excitement and madness with his own eyes.

However, Shen Zhezi could understand that his father was so disobedient. Fan Jin passed the imperial examination in later generations, and that kind of joy could make people confused, not to mention that Shen's current leap into the imperial sect!

In fact, Shen Zhezi's heart may not be much less joy than his father. The reason why he can remain calm under such a great joy is nothing more than a new journey for him to ascend to the throne and become emperor. The responsibilities he shoulders in the future are only greater than those before. The short-lived prosperity is by no means the end he pursues.

Of course, this rational and soberness really makes people abandon human favors. Even if Shen Zhezi is willing to share with others at this moment, others think he is probably mostly pretentious.

In fact, Shen Zhezi's daily life is not surprising compared to earlier, and it is even more busy. After visiting his father, he changed into a heavy and inconvenient crown, put on a home clothes, and began to review many affairs at his desk.

After the throne ceremony, many affairs will come like tsunami. In order to ensure that the real major event is not delayed, Shen Zhezi did not have much time to taste the sweet results.

The Northern Expedition to Destroy Hu was definitely not due to one person’s merit. In order to prepare for the matter of one person to do the best, many matters have been put on hold. Shen Zhezi can afford to wait, which does not mean that the hard-working soldiers are the same.

Although the king's army was victorious and showed a strong wind to sweep away the fallen leaves against the remnants of Jiehu, many injured soldiers were still retained. Shen Zhezi deeply hoped that the affairs could be settled as soon as possible, and then the matter of sharing the merits and rewards should be implemented as soon as possible. Even if these injured soldiers are destined to be difficult to save, they hope that they can learn in their lifetime that they have a gratifying and satisfactory reward.

So when the city was noisy and the savages were all happy that Yu Ying was the master of the throne and ascended the throne, Shen Zhezi took advantage of the few days before ascending the throne to sort out the latest battle reports of Chen Zu, so he knew it and pushed the rewards to enter the implementation stage as soon as possible.
