Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Two: The Grand Ceremony
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, 202 AD, the seventh day of the fifth lunar month.
This day is a rare good day. It was only the fourth day. Before dawn, the entire palace was already busy because it was about to officially establish the country today.
In the bedroom of Queen Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi, wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, I looked helplessly at Yi Zhen and Gu Yun who were combing Yuan Xi's hair and dressing Yuan Xi. Logically speaking, this should have been done by her, the queen, but looking at her high and bulging belly, she could only sigh.
Yuan Xi, who had just finished combing his hair, felt ashamed of Zhen Mi, and comforted her with a smile: "Mi'er, there is no need to be like this. As long as our child is born smoothly, I will be happy to wear my own clothes."
Zhen Mi bit her lip, nodded gently, and then shouted with concern: "Two sisters, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant must be brought to the king. Please open the glory to Master Hua at that time."
"promise!"
"How are the other sisters preparing? The king wants to lead the girls in the harem to pay homage to the queen mother first, and then go to the ancestral temple. Time is very tight and you can't make any mistakes for a moment." Zhen Mi asked another maid in a hurry again.
"Report to the Queen, all the noble concubines and Shuyi, they are all ready," a personal servant said hurriedly.
"Then there is still..." Zhen Mi seemed to be completely worried and asked not only.
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and shook her head, and gave a wink at Yi Zhen.
Yi Zhen immediately understood and walked to Zhen Mi's side, worriedly said, "Sister, you haven't been around for a long time. Have a good rest. We are here, so there is no problem."
"Then you have to instruct the servants that the order of the dinner position today must not be wrong," Zhen Mi said worriedly.
"Sister, don't worry," Yi Zhen replied.
"in addition"
"Mi'er" Yuan Xi still spoke, already a little stern: "Get a good rest, these have been repeated many times, there will be no problem."
Zhen Mi was immediately aggrieved, and Yuan Xi had already finished wearing it at this time. He was wearing a black royal robe. The Han Dynasty was a local virtue, so whether it was the emperor or the king's robe, they were generally black. The robe was also embroidered with eight chapter patterns such as moon, stars, dragons, mountains, flower insects, fire, Zong Yi, etc., and there were jade belts on the waist, as well as gold ornaments such as pendants and ribbons. When worn, it not only looked solemn and gorgeous, but also more majestic than before.
Yuan Xi walked slowly to Zhen Mi and said softly: "Mi'er, don't worry. Now Gu is no longer the second young master who needs to be cautious in Yecheng, but the future king of Dayan. No one dares to treat Gu any more, and no one dares to say that you, the queen, are wrong, and whoever says Gu will kill anyone."
Zhen Mi looked up at the king's robe and the more heroic Yuan Xi was nodding in tears and said, "Master, please bring the crown!"
"Okay" Yuan Xi smiled and nodded. After sitting down again, Zhen Mi took the crown from Gu Yun, took a slight look, and then placed it solemnly on Yuan Xi's head. The eight white jade tassels hanging from the crown immediately swayed in front of Yuan Xi's sight.
Looking at the shaking jade tablet, Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly fluctuated. He, a small civil servant in his previous life, actually became an emperor. Sometimes he really felt like he was not awake in his dreams, and he was also deeply grateful to God. If he had not given him the key to the hidden dragon, if he had not traveled through time and became the second son of the Yuan family, he would have never developed so quickly and would have never had the glorious cause he has today.
Yuan Xi's eyes gradually stabilized. He wanted to keep all this. He killed everything that dared to hinder him, and the extremely sharp momentum spread.
When time gradually came to Mao hour, I saw that the sky had turned white, and the light gradually fell, spreading all over the earth, rendering a golden color. Outside the palace's Chaotian Hall, nearly 10,000 soldiers had gathered in the huge square, with swords and swords flying, and everyone's eyes were staring at a high platform in front of them, climbing the rooftop.
A hint of fanaticism appeared on their faces. The king would announce the founding of the Great Yan here today. They were excited because there was no one in the world who loved soldiers more than Yuan Xi, and their status in the Great Yan soldiers was higher than anything else.
There is no need to say anything more, because whenever the soldiers look at the second stairs leading to the Chaotian Hall in awe, they have a hint of envy and awe on their faces. They see a group of veterans wearing old clothes, either missing arms or missing legs, standing proudly. They didn't need to be here at first, just waiting for the banquet, but they did make great efforts. Although they were disabled and only a few dozen people, the military aura emitted from their bodies was really shocking.
They are the great soldiers of the king, have made countless military achievements and have many privileges. They are the pride of the Great Yan and the heroes in the army. They are also the most stable cornerstone of the king's foundation, because they will never allow any attempt to subvert the king's rights, nor will anyone insult their past battles.
Above them, hundreds of civil and military ministers were dressed in neat official uniforms and holding ivory court tablets. They all looked respectful and waited meticulously. They were the highest level of Yan State.
After a huge bell echoed up and down the palace, everyone understood that the king had begun to worship his ancestors.
In the palace, a solemn and ancient hall was slowly pushed open to the main entrance, and a solemn air flow swept out from it.
Yuan Xi, who was standing in front of the door, walked in with Tian Feng holding the sacrificial texts in his hand, and many eunuchs and maids.
I saw that the spiritual positions were visiting an elevated staircase, Yuan An, Yuan Jing, Yuan Chang, Yuan Tang, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, the most famous four generations of the Yuan family, and the ancestors of the Yuan family were all among them, and the most dazzling ones were naturally Yuan Shao's spiritual positions.
Looking at the spiritual thrones, Yuan Xi immediately knelt on the cushion placed in front of him and kowtowed three times.
Zheng Chun, who was standing beside him, immediately said with a positive expression: "Please read the tribute from the left."
"No!" Tian Feng responded, holding the sacrificial text in his hand, and then bowed to the ancestors of the Yuan family. He opened the sacrificial text with a serious face and said loudly: "The emperor inherited the heaven and established the ultimate, and he had both merits and virtues, ruled the Taoist rule, and was in power for the world. He was alone in heaven. He was the only one who was in charge of the heavens. He was the only one who was close to the ancestors. The former Hui was a great ceremony. He was a sacrifice to the ancestors' undead..."
The sacrificial texts were constantly echoing from Tian Feng's chant in this huge ancestral temple. Yuan Xi looked at the spiritual sign above and murmured: "Father, the ancestors of the Yuan family, Xier will definitely unify the world, and let the name of my Yuan family resound throughout the ages and last forever."
After reading all the sacrificial texts, Yuan Xi kowtowed three times again, slowly stood up, turned around and left firmly.
As the second bell rang out, the King of Welcoming immediately played the song, and everyone outside the Palace of Chaotian was silent in an instant. Hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of troops were immediately solemn. The King was coming to worship the heavens.
When the team slowly arrived, two teams of Shenwei soldiers were leading the way with swords in front of them, followed by Jinwu Sei-Battle, eunuchs, palace maids, one row after another. When Yuan Xi finally appeared, the general responsible for etiquette immediately waved his hand, and instantly, a loud shout rang through the sky, and the soldiers' door held swords and guns in their hands and pointed straight into the sky.
"King, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years,"
"King, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years,"
Yuan Xi stood at the highest point, looking at the civil and military ministers who bent down to show their respect, the heroes with tears on their faces, and the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers echoing in his ears, smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the rooftop step by step.
When passing by Xunbing, Yuan Xi paused slightly and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
When the "King" heard this, Xunbing burst into tears even more, but he still couldn't help crying, for fear of interrupting the order of the ceremony.
Yuan Xi smiled faintly and headed towards the high platform alone. At this time, Li Ru, who was responsible for the etiquette of worshiping heaven, was standing on it, looking at Yuan Xi who was walking from below, with a lot of emotion in his eyes, and at the same time, this gratitude was also contained in his heart, which made him meet two heroes in his life. Although the first one was destroyed by his own hands, he believed that the second one would definitely succeed.
When Yuan Xi stepped to the highest point, Li Ru respectfully handed Yuan Xi three incense candles.
After Yuan Xi took it, he looked at the blue sky and murmured: "God helps me to end this complicated and troubled times."
After saying that, he gently inserted three incense candles into the incense burner in front of him.
Yuan Xi pulled out a sharp sword from the side, his eyes narrowed, pointed straight into the sky, and shouted with a determined face: "Dayan will surely rise!!"
"King, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years," Hearing this, everyone knelt down and kept shouting loudly.
