Whether it is the interrogation of Dongying people or the in-depth investigation, Zhang Lin has no right to participate.
In the Sakura Garden, the three of them made a decision on the direction of the investigation, which was about Zhang Hao and Ji Yu.
Zhang Lin had no right to participate in the following matters, so he had to go back home and continue to prepare for his crowning ceremony and become familiar with the etiquette process.
As for the aftermath of Li Ranran's murder, only a few words were occasionally heard from the guards who assisted Ji Yu in the investigation together with his eldest brother Zhang Hao.
The special envoys from the imperial capital live in the county governor's mansion.
As soon as they arrived, all the Dongying people in Bashu were purged. It is said that the river outside Rongcheng was dyed red for this reason.
For a while, Chengdu was shrouded in terror.
Anyone who has any dealings with Dongying will be censored.
But for those things that didn't concern Zhang Lin, what he had been doing was preparing for the coronation ceremony.
This ceremony also happened in an orderly manner when Chengdu was dyed red with blood.
On September 9th, when the sun is shining brightly and the hibiscus trees are in full bloom, Zhang's crowning ceremony will be held at that time.
The distinguished guests and guests invited by all parties checked into the Chongyang Building early, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
September 8th, ceremony.
Zhang Lin bathed and changed clothes in Nangong Mansion, burned incense and prayed to heaven and earth, and then, under the leadership of Zhang Xi, offered sacrifices to his ancestors.
Inside Nangong Mansion.
"On the third watch of the day, let's take a shower!"
Zhang Jue, dressed in ritual attire, directed his servants to boil water and put it into the prepared golden basin.
The mild hot water is taken from the spiritual spring next to the hibiscus tree, heated by a special method, and then ninety-nine fallen leaves of the hibiscus sacred tree are added.
Take a shower as Zhang Jue sings.
Zhang Lin, who was wearing simple clothes, took off his clothes under the attire of a maid, and slowly stepped into the golden basin.
Zhang Lin sat in it, his head and neck covered with water, only his head emerged from the water.
Zhang Jue on the side saw Zhang Lin sitting up and sang: "Take a bath! Have fun!"
As the ceremony was being sung, the ceremonial music in Longzhong sounded. The three maids who had already prepared followed the rhythm of the music, holding the branches of the fusang sacred tree, bowed their heads and walked quickly to the golden basin, and dipped the branches into the golden basin.
The divine water was gently sprinkled on Zhang Lin's head.
Three more maids were behind them, waiting with some soil. After the maids who had taken a bath in the water repeatedly sprayed it nine times, they alternated with them and carefully scrubbed Zhang Lin's whole body with the soil as he stood up.
The soil is also extraordinary soil, but is spiritual soil obtained from the decayed leaves of the hibiscus sacred tree.
As the spiritual soil was scrubbed, golden light gradually appeared on Zhang Lin's body.
That is the blood in the body, stimulated by extremely yang things, and is manifesting.
The maids scrubbed it carefully, and after nine times, Zhang Lin was asked to sit back in the golden basin of water to wash away the dirt.
This step is called: getting rid of the filth and transforming the ordinary.
The maids finished their work, and Zhang Jue sang again: "Burn the incense, wear the crown!"
Hearing this, the six maids carried Zhang Lin out of the golden basin and carried him directly to a jade basket that had been prepared.
Three maids were already standing on the stage, one holding the dress used by Zhang Lin for his crown, and the other holding the crown.
After Zhang Lin stood on the stage, the woman in the middle changed his clothes alone.
The other six maids were divided into six directions, kneeling beside the jade platform.
The witches and blessings, who had been preparing for a long time, surrounded the jade platform, danced sacrificial dances, and sang sacrificial words: "The moon has its eyes, the sun has its rules, the robes of flowers are crowned, the emperor's son descends, and the sun comes from the world.
There is brilliance. All kinds of people receive it, and I will give it a seal..."
The etiquette process is complicated. After leading the maid to dress Zhang Lin, it was already the sixth watch. Zhang Jue sang again: "The sixth watch is here, be restrained! Let's have fun!"
Cheerful and relaxing music played. Zhang Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly walked to the jade platform, took the jade crown held by the maid, looked at Zhang Lin and said: "It's not easy, you have finally grown up."
Zhang Lin bowed and said: "Thank you father for tying the crown!"
Zhang Xi nodded, slowly put the crown on the crown that the maid had combed, and passed it through with a gold hairpin. Then he patted Zhang Lin and signaled him to get up and said: "I will be crowned tomorrow, don't be too nervous, I will give it to you for my father."
What a great gift!”
Zhang Lin heard this and saw that Zhang Wei's expression was a little solemn, so he became suspicious of his words not to be too nervous.
But seeing Zhang Xi's questioning eyes, he nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the child will be an adult and will be crowned under the Fusang tree. This is a grand ceremony of life and the pride of every Zhang family child. The child will only be proud and high-spirited, and will never be nervous.
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, my son is generous!"
After speaking, he said to Zhang Jue on the side: "Go on!"
Zhang Jue nodded when he heard this and said: "The ceremony is over! Everyone avoids it, and the crowned one moves to the sacred tree and the underworld to thank heaven and earth."
After Zhang Jue finished singing the ceremony, those who were watching the ceremony and those in charge of etiquette left the scene one after another.
Nine red-armored guards surrounded the jade platform from nine directions, lifted the jade platform, and accompanied by nine maids, carried Zhang Lin high into the sky and headed for the Fusang Sacred Tree.
Zhang Jue and others also followed and came to the Fusang Sacred Tree.
Nine red-armored guards placed Zhang Lin under the Fusang sacred tree. At the same time, three descendants of the Zhang family who, like Zhang Lin, enjoyed the highest crowning ceremony, also sat on the jade platform and were carried here and laid down.
Behind them, more than a dozen of the Zhang family's children came one after another to the sacred Fusang tree and sat on the gold and silver platforms that had been prepared.
This is the level of crowning ceremony.
A direct descendant like Zhang Lin, crowned and sitting on a jade platform, is located under the Fusang sacred tree. Nine steps away is the Fusang sacred tree.
The direct descendants of the branches sit on the golden platform, nine steps behind the jade platform.
Yintai, on the other hand, is a descendant of a concubine with fair talent and worthy of training, a disciple of a partial family, a disciple of distant relatives who has awakened the Golden Crow bloodline and has good talent.
In front of Zhang Lin, there are nine seats carved from Fusang sacred wood, which are used for crowning the disciples with the blood of the Golden Crow.
Since ancient times, only three people have used the sitting platform.
After Zhang Lin and others who needed to be crowned tomorrow were ready, a priest who had been waiting for a long time walked to the nine-piece fuso sacred tree, looked at the crowd and said: "The auspicious time has come, let me tell the heaven and the earth to thank the sky!"
After hearing this, Zhang Lin and others slowly closed their eyes and used all their strength to activate the family exercises they had learned.
This step is the most important step in the crowning ceremony of the Zhang clan: obtaining the approval of the Fuso sacred tree.
From now until nine o'clock tomorrow.
The degree to which each person is recognized by the Fuso Sacred Tree will determine how high he or she can climb the sacred tree when he is crowned tomorrow.
The height of climbing the sacred tree means how much you have been baptized by the Fuso sacred tree and your potential for future practice.
In short, the higher the level of recognition you get at this time, the higher you will climb the sacred tree when you are crowned tomorrow.
The level of climbing the sacred tree means that the quality of talent in the future is affected by the amount of family resources.
For this reason, everyone did not dare to be careless and tried their best to operate their respective skills, hoping that they would be fully recognized by the sacred tree and be crowned directly to the top tomorrow.
Zhang Wei and others were at the viewing platform, watching Zhang Lin and others begin to meditate, run their exercises, and communicate with the Fuso tree. Zhang Wei asked Zhang Hao, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao clasped his fists confidently and said, "Don't worry, Father! Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
Chapter completed!
