Mu Feng silently mingled in the crowd and watched the ceremony proceed.
The enthronement ceremony of a new king is very cumbersome and the process is also very complicated. The emperor will first send some officials to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth on his behalf.
After doing this, the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony slowly opened, and the new monarch Zhao Ziye slowly walked out in mourning clothes. Behind him were Ying Hong, Zhu Tiancai, Zhao Lingyan and other princes and princesses, all also wearing mourning clothes.
They wear filial piety clothes not to pay homage to the Five Emperors, but to pay homage to their ancestors and various gods.
Doing so can not only comfort the ancestors, but also demonstrate one's sacred status as king.
Once these two steps are completed, the entire ceremony begins.
Next, it was the turn of the officials of the Ministry of Rites to appear. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, headed by the Minister of Rites, came out and escorted the new emperor to the Temple of Heaven, the Altar of Agriculture and the Imperial Ancestral Temple. They used the highest standards of sacrificial etiquette to inform the spirits of the emperors that the new emperor was about to arrive.
succession.
After completing this step, the bell will officially ring for the enthronement ceremony. ??
The entire palace was filled with the clear and loud ringing of bells, and even everyone in the entire capital could hear it clearly.
Many people in the capital raised their heads involuntarily and looked in the direction of the palace, their eyes full of awe.
Accompanied by the majestic bells, the new king Zhao Ziye wore a special dress and climbed to Fengtian Gate to pray.
The civil and military officials were waiting in front of Fengtian Gate, praying with the new king, and sending their respective blessings to the new king who was about to ascend the throne.
After praying, the civil and military officials followed Eunuch Li and stood on both sides of the royal road outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for the new king to finish praying.
After the prayer was completely finished, the new monarch entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony along the royal road and sat on the dragon chair. Then, in the sharp voice of Eunuch Li, all the officials entered the palace to congratulate him.
Finally, the eunuch and eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony read out the imperial edict to the officials.
After the imperial edict was read, Cang Hong Shen Dang first shouted: "I pay homage to your Majesty!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"..."
All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and bowed before the new king Zhao Ziye, and then they officially recognized Zhao Ziye's identity as the new king.
From then on, Zhao Ziye was the new master of the Holy Dynasty.
When the enthronement ceremony finally came to an end, the seven leaders who had been waiting impatiently came out one after another. Among them, Yang Xingyuan had the most explosive temper, and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty! Since the enthronement ceremony is over, please decide on the date for the Genius Conference! Last time, we agreed that it would be three days after the enthronement ceremony, right?"
Yang Xingyuan's question immediately silenced the entire hall.
All the civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the central axis cast angry glances at Yang Xingyuan, who made rude remarks. They all looked unkind, but dared not speak in anger.
The joy and excitement on Zhao Ziye's face, who was sitting on the dragon chair, immediately became heavy and gloomy. He did not expect that Yang Xingyuan would actually question him face to face at this time.
"What Master Yang said is correct. The Genius Conference is very important. Please make a decision as soon as possible. Please don't keep us waiting for too long!" Fairy Luohong walked out calmly and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, please make your decision as soon as possible!" Jiang Wuji stepped forward with a sound like thunder.
Taoist Priest Five Elements, Fairy Shuiyue, Master Zixuan and Wan Yanyi also came out one after another and aggressively asked Zhao Ziye to set a date for the Genius Conference.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall became tense.
Mu Feng watched all this silently, and felt quite unhappy in his heart. These seven leaders were completely disrespectful of etiquette. Questioning them face to face clearly meant that
It is obvious that he does not take Xinjun seriously, and this is even a huge provocation!
Zhao Ziye pressed his right hand firmly on the armrest of the dragon chair, and looked at Cang Hongshen as if asking for help.
In this situation, even he felt that he didn't know what to do, so he could only ask Cang Hongshen for help.
Cang Hongshen narrowed his eyes and transmitted a few words to Zhao Ziye, who then calmed down.
"Seven people! Why are you in such a hurry? Are you still afraid that our Holy Dynasty will cheat? If you have such distrust in our Holy Dynasty, then this genius event will lose its own meaning!"
Zhao Ziye shouted coldly, his voice like thunder, resounding throughout the hall.
At this moment, Zhao Ziye was filled with the majesty of an emperor, majestic and extraordinary, which instantly calmed Fairy Luohong, Yang Xingyuan and seven others.
The seven leaders looked at each other. They did not expect that Zhao Ziye, who had just ascended the throne, would be so magnanimous. This was something they had not expected.
After all, they had always thought that Zhao Ziye was a young boy who was weak and could be bullied, so they never took him seriously.
But now, as soon as Zhao Ziye ascended the throne, he gave them a powerful attack, which caught them a little unprepared.
The leaders, Fairy Luohong and Yang Xingyuan, frowned. They could not refute Zhao Ziye's words. If they really agreed to these words, the Holy Dynasty would really have reason to cancel the genius event.
"Your Majesty! We were rash just now, please forgive me! But the Genius Conference was agreed in advance. If Your Majesty cancels it unilaterally, we don't need to tell you what the consequences will be!"
Fairy Luohong spoke slowly, her voice calm and composed, even with a hint of threat.
Zhao Ziye's heart suddenly trembled, but he still managed to calm down and said: "Don't worry, Fairy Luohong, you are not joking! Since I have promised you, I will not lie about it! But if you are still like Fang If you are so aggressive, don't blame me for being rude!"
"The Genius Conference is about the competition between the younger generation of our eight ultimate powers. It is a rare event. I take it very seriously, so I need some time to arrange it properly!
Three days is still too short! I will discuss this matter with the ministers when the time comes, and how about informing the seven of you as soon as there is a result?"
Fairy Luohong, Yang Xingyuan and the other seven leaders looked at each other in disbelief. Although they looked unhappy, they knew not to push too hard and had to agree.
"In that case, I will wait for news from Your Majesty! I have something else to do, so I will leave first!"
Yang Xingyuan's face was as dark as water. He clasped his fists at Zhao Ziye, and without waiting for the latter to speak, he turned around and left with his team.
The same goes for Fairy Luohong, the Jiang family and other leaders.
"Huh! That's unreasonable. What do you think of us as a court? We left without any etiquette at all!" Shangshu Ling Kou Si finally couldn't bear it anymore and said coldly.
All the civil and military officials in the court were very angry. They were all talking nonsense at this moment, and they were all talking about the faults of the seven leaders.
Mu Feng just watched with cold eyes and shook his head secretly in his heart. Most of the officials in this holy dynasty were bullies and afraid of the strong.
When the seven leaders were here, they didn't even fart, but now that they are gone, they all stood on the moral high ground and cursed loudly.
"Let's break up the court!"
Zhao Ziye waved his hands a little tiredly, said something, and left the court with the help of the eunuch.
"Mu Feng, take the people from the Hanlin Academy and leave first! I still have something to discuss with His Majesty!" After Cang Hongshen said this to Mu Feng, he followed Zhao Ziye's team into the inner room.
Mu Feng didn't ask any questions. Knowing that Cang Hongshen was going to discuss the Genius Conference with Xinjun, he simply left with a few people from the Hanlin Academy.
