20. The succession ceremony will become the great cause(1/2)
Li?'s succession ceremony was held as scheduled. Although the weather was still cold, Li?
He was hungry and half-clothed, but now he has officially ascended the supreme throne of Ariemyo Korea.
I don't know what happened, but in Li?'s eyes, even Hong Jinglai and Zhao Wanyong, who held the sword to clear the way for him, became cute. It was clear that they had slightly complicated emotions in their hearts before, which could not be explained.
As for the princess beside him, Hong Miaozhen, she was also dressed in high-end clothes today, holding a tooth wat and participating in the ceremony alongside him. Although he had never seen this princess, he knew that this was just Hong Jinglai's attempt to improve the status of the Hong family in Fengshan.
It was given to his wife. But under the heavy makeup, it seemed that the young and beautiful face could not be hidden.
Everything is wonderful today!
Hong Jinglai didn't know what Li Xiang was thinking. He was wearing a five-beam crown and a red dress in the middle of winter, so he didn't feel cold. He was really grateful that the succession ceremony was held in winter, and the wind in the city was not that strong.
, the sun is still there today, it feels warm, just follow the guidance and move forward.
The drum music on both sides is extraordinary. It is completely inherited from the Ming Dynasty's set of ritual music. But after all, it is a different country. Naturally, not all of them are the "eight-note" music used in the Ming Dynasty. Many instruments commonly used in North Korea have been added.
, such as Xi Qin, Xuanhe Qin, Taiping Xiao, Jiao Zhen, etc.
Li Shangxian, the first clan member holding the proclamation, stood at the foot of the steps and scanned the whole place, checking whether the hundreds of officials and clan members below the steps were in complete uniform and respectful, and after confirming that they were correct, he raised his voice and shouted.
"dance!"
Music was played immediately in the field, and the salute officer sang with him. The first big song was "Ding Da Ye"! It tells the story of Li Chenggui, the great ancestor of the Li Dynasty, who worked hard to start a business. The first section is called Zhaowu, and you can understand the meaning by looking at the words.
.【Note 1】
“Heaven favors me, the saints,
The successor to Zhao Shengwu.
Proud without fear,
It is done with singing and dancing.
………”
Along with the chanting, dancers wearing wuben crowns and holding redbird swords began to dance in dedication to their ancestors in heaven. The whole audience was solemn and solemn.
Even ordinary people would be infected by the atmosphere in such an environment, and there would be a hint of the so-called "divine right of kings" and "influence between heaven and man" in their hearts. Li Jian stood on the altar, although he did not say a word, there was something
With his "kingly aura", along with the etiquette and music, the civil and military ministers were able to kneel without feeling suffocated at all.
No wonder feudal rulers throughout the ages, as long as they are not members of the Caotai team and can seriously ascend the throne, have thought of this trick. They definitely have the feeling of destiny, fooling the world, and the effect is really extraordinary.
All in all, the ceremony was successfully held, and Li? was destined to return!
According to previous discussions, Hong Jinglai was awarded the title of Prince of Zhongfeng Prefecture as a first-class meritorious official of Jingshe, and Zhao Wanyong was also granted the title of Prince of Fengen Prefecture as a first-class meritorious official of Jingshe. Hong Shourong was awarded the title of Defeng as the uncle of the state.
Lord Fuyuan, he was appointed overnight, and the Hong family's name in Fengshan became famous in the eight provinces of Korea.
Naturally, the rest of the Jingshe heroes also received promotions and awards. Eight people were awarded the title of Dr. Zhengxian and Dr. Chiayi alone, and more than 30 people were awarded the title of Dr. Tongzheng and General Zhechong (in the Zhengsanpin Hall).
The wives of all the heroes also made great efforts. Hong Jinglai's old mother was directly awarded the first-class Tiexing Mansion wife. When Hong Jinglai got married, a first-class Zhenjing wife was also indispensable.
It is natural to amnesty the world. Originally, the world should be exempted from tribute rice for one year, but Hong Jinglai blocked this matter. Now the country is short of money, how can it be so wasteful. In the future, Li? and Hong Miao will have children.
It won't be too late for the next generation to be universally exempted, and then the country's finances will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
I would also like to thank Jingshang this time. Hundreds of years of accumulation are really not worth it. As soon as the officers and soldiers who ransacked the house rushed into Jingshang's main store, Li Douhuan, the head of Jingshang, was frightened to death. There was no one in charge of Jingshang's main store, and the books in our store (
(Block) records were in chaos, and Li Zaichao took care of them all.
Cui Zhengji took their account books and went through them for a while. He got more than 300 taels of gold, 400,000 taels of silver, and 1.1 million taels of money. In one fell swoop, the entire household and Xuanhui Hall were filled to the brim. And this was just the Beijing merchants.
The working capital can be increased several times if fixed assets, accounts receivable, loan sharks and the like are included.
It was just used for Lee's succession and wedding. It was not only enough to cover all the expenses, but also more than enough. There was even enough money left to overhaul Changgyeonggung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace and repaint it.
Now there is only one final step left for Jiaqing to dispatch an envoy. The emperor, who represents the highest level of the East Asian tribute system, officially recognizes Li Xi's succession as legal and valid.
……………………
Yanjing, Forbidden City, Yangxin Hall.
Lin Shangwo, the Korean envoy, was standing in front of the Kang, waiting for Emperor Jiaqing's questions.
Lin Shangwo is no stranger to Yanjing. After all, he has been here many times with the Gulf Business Group, and he even has many good and tortuous memories in Yanjing.
He came to Yanjing this time with a heavy responsibility. Hong Jinglai had to try to gain the approval of Emperor Jiaqing during this mission to gain the legality of raising an army and the legitimacy of Li Jing's succession to the throne.
According to Hong Jinglai's previous instructions, Lin Shangwo naturally took various gifts to visit the Manchu and Qing dignitaries in Yanjing. Especially those who could talk to Jiaqing were the top priority.
Spreading out the gifts will always be effective, and many people have promised to mention a word or two for him at the right time.
Now Jiaqing finally summoned Lin Shangwo to ask about the replacement of the Korean monarch. However, Jiaqing's face was not very good, and Lin Shangwo came on an unlucky day. Why? Because Emperor Jiaqing's old treasure, old mentor, and scholar Zhu Gui was here
He had just passed away on the fifth day of December. Jiaqing had lost a good assistant who could make suggestions behind his back, and he had no one around him.
"What does it mean that you have a hidden disease and are unfit to be a king?"
Jiaqing's opening was so sudden!
(At the end of the text, the word count exceeds 2200, so although annotations are added later, the word count of this chapter is not less.)
