On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, a very auspicious day, the prince will be in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace.
Since the fourth day of June, everyone has been looking forward to this day for who knows how long. At first, people from the Qin Palace were looking forward to it, but later, basically everyone was looking forward to it. Even Emperor Li Yuan was looking forward to his early abdication.
This is the fact. If this ceremony is completed as soon as possible, everyone will feel at ease.
Everything in the past will be turned over, and everyone can look forward to it from now on.
Today is not only a big day for the prince, but also a big day for all the former Qin king’s party. It has been more than two months, and the prince has not yet rewarded the civil and military officials who supported the Xuanwu Sect for their merits. Everyone knows that,
Sooner or later it will be closed, but everyone wants to close it as soon as possible.
Just put it in your bag for safety.
"Erlang is so handsome today."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Early this morning Fan Xianji came to change Huaiyu's clothes. Last night she came to pay homage to her future father-in-law and got Lao Wu's nod. In the evening, she was left behind by her eldest sister Yu'e and chatted with her eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law for half the night.
"Your eyes are swollen. You didn't sleep well with my eldest sister last night. Are you not used to it?"
It is a higher level of dress than the usual court attire for attending court meetings. There is a mysterious crown on the head, which is similar to the emperor's crown, but it only has three hairpins, and there is no seal pattern on the long robe on the body.
"We kept chatting, and the eldest sister told me about your naughty things when you were a child. She also said that that year you fell into the water in Fenglingdu and were taken away by Taoists and then no longer heard from... eldest sister really cares about you." Fan Xuanfu
I am somewhat envious of the relationship between the Wu family siblings. This family loves each other very much.
The fireworks are indeed brilliant.
In comparison, the first-rank official is Jiuqiujiuzhang, which is also Gunmian. The second-rank official is Qiumanzhang.
, when it reaches the fifth level of Huaiyu, only the Xuan Mian is left.
······
Huaiyu went out early.
"Who is this young nobleman?"
Fan Xuanfu looked at Huaiyu, who was wearing a full set of imperial robes, and was in a daze, with little stars in his eyes. When people in the Tang Dynasty got married, ordinary people would borrow the robes and put on the crimson uniforms of officials. And the princes and princes
Wear the mian robe, and if you are below the fifth rank, you can wear the Xuan mian.
"Erlang is really in great spirits today when he wears this Xuanmian." Prince Consort Duan admired.
When Huaiyu taught the craftsmen at Shenji Workshop before, he also talked about the application of gunpowder, including making fireworks. How to explode the fireworks into the sky. Adding different materials such as copper powder and iron powder can also make the fireworks explode in the sky.
Purple, red, green and other different colors.
Many officials were surprised to see Huaiyu wearing a three-color Xuanmian at such a young age.
In the night, the craftsmen of Shenji Workshop lit fireworks.
Many ministers also marveled, and one said, "Maybe this is the legendary Palm Thunder?"
Everyone came here early for fear of missing the mark. Some people who lived far away came earlier.
Huaiyu didn't know most of the people next to him, so he just sat there drinking and eating.
"Madam, you are so beautiful today," said the maid who was dressing up.
When the time comes, the palace door opens and the talisman enters the palace.
The palace banquet was very lively, but Huaiyu was sitting at the door of the palace. The people around him were unfamiliar and he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he was just making up for it.
Last time Li Shimin personally went out of the city to attack the Turks at night. Throwing palm thunder was very enjoyable and severely suppressed the arrogance of the Turks. He was very happy. Not only did he directly promote Wu Huaiyu to a minor prison, he also gave rewards to all the weapons supervisors. Duan Lun
He also received a reward, which made Duan Lun, who had been sitting on the bench for several years after returning from Yizhou, very happy and regarded Huaiyu as his lucky star.
The old patriarch of the Wu family, Warrior Leng, is here today, and his fourth-rank official is much higher than Huaiyu.
Officials below the fifth rank do not have royal robes and can only wear court robes.
Duan Lun presented fireworks.
"Your Majesty, today is a special day. The Warmaster has a gift to present."
Duan Lun was very proud.
On the way, more and more officials gathered, and many people took the initiative to say hello to Huaiyu.
I was thinking about going home early when I finished, when I saw Ji Guogong Duan’s consort stood up,
"Oh?" Li Shimin also drank several glasses of wine today, his face glowing red.
Upstairs in the palace, many officials were praising the splendor of the fireworks and praising the new emperor.
Nobles like Huaiyu, who were knighted, wore this set of Xuanmian when they got married.
The emperor ascended the throne, offered sacrifices to the country, reported to the ancestral temple, sent generals to go to war, went to war in person, married wives as adults, and all the great dynasties on New Year's Day wore this set of crowns.
All the officials who were watching raised their heads and stared blankly, especially some foreign leaders and envoys from the vassal states, who were even more stunned.
Li Shimin ascended the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, but Emperor Li Yuan did not come.
As the representative of the Duke of Rong's Palace, Fan Xuanfu will soon wear a dress with nine gold hairpins. Her father is from Yipin, so she can wear nine gold and green hairpins in her head.
Looking at her bun, looking at the gold and green flowers stuck in her head, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she smiled,
Fan Xuanfu couldn't help but feel even more happy when he thought that he would wear this outfit to Erlang when he gets married in the future. His slender eyebrows and slender eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
Carry the sun and moon on your shoulders and carry the stars on your back.
Li Shimin's face was red and smiling.
The Imperial Guards brought craftsmen to the square to set off fireworks,
Duan Lun invited the emperor and princes to watch the fireworks show upstairs in the palace.
Today's palace banquet can only be attended by princes, prime ministers, ministers, ministers, or foreign envoys. Ordinary fifth-rank officials are not even qualified to enter the palace.
When the ceremony was over, the new emperor issued an order and gave a banquet in the East Palace.
"Go." Fan Xuanfu put away his thoughts and smiled slightly, "I will go to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess after I finish packing."
I didn't dare to make any mess, so I followed the process conscientiously, and it took almost a whole day.
Among the hundreds of officials behind him, Wei Zheng, the admonishing official, had a gloomy face. He had just returned from Hebei and successfully appeased Jiancheng Yuanji's old troops in Hebei and Shandong. Li Shimin also granted him the title of Baron of Julu County as promised.
The bang, bang, bang, and then fireworks bloomed all over the sky, like a miracle.
As a minister participating in the enthronement ceremony, Huaiyu is now a fifth-rank official and a fifth-rank founding baron. Today he will also wear the most solemn attire.
Li Shimin smiled and got it right.
After Huaiyu left, Fan Xuanfu returned to the house and started dressing up.
With a loud scream, those fireworks really shot up into the sky. Although they didn't fly very high, they successfully exploded in the air, and then blossomed into fireworks.
"Yeah?"
"The closed disciple of Zhongnan Yinxian Xiaoyaozi, the founder of Daling County, the envoy of Qianqi camp, the young inspector of military weapons, the general of hospital, and now a famous man." Someone recognized this young and successful man at a glance.
Jun.
He didn't expect that when he was not there these days, Duan Lun secretly set out fireworks and set them off to celebrate today's grand ceremony.
When we arrived outside the East Palace, it already felt like a sea of people, with countless officials and a large number of guards and servants.
As soon as Huaiyu arrived, his superior ordnance supervisor Duan Lun called him over. His current class was no longer the worship class of Zhongshu Province, but the grade station class, which was the fifth grade class.
Duan Lun took him to chat with him and specifically told him a lot of rules and etiquette that he should pay attention to in today's big scene, which was of great help to Huaiyu.
"I'm leaving first. I can't be discourteous today."
There are many acquaintances in the palace, such as Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi State, who is standing in front of the prince now, and the warrior Xun. He didn't meet him last time when he went to Xianyang. He went back to Chang'an Yongzhou Yamen to handle official business. Today he is sitting closer to him, and he also
There is Cheng Yaojin, the official of the state of Su, who is also next to Qin Qiong.
Putting on a wide-sleeved cardigan, a long skirt, and a silk shawl, Fan Xuanfu became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, and he even felt a little impatient to get married.
Although Fan Xuanfu is not an imperial concubine, she has already received the order from the palace. Today she will go to the palace to see the Crown Princess. She represents the female family members of the Rongguo Palace. Although Fan Xing is now the Duke, the concubine
He accepted a lot of money, but he never married again. Naturally, the head of the house was Fan Xuanfu.
Wearing the Sanqi tiara, Huaiyu even feels a bit like a prince.
"Aye won't come back to Beijing on such an important day." She sighed. Fan Xing was away leading his troops and could not return, which also kept delaying the marriage proposal, which made her very anxious.
······
Today is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and Li Shimin will wear a fur mian. According to the uniform system established by Wude in the Tang Dynasty, this is the second most ceremonial dress the emperor wears when offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth.
There are twelve strings of white beads on the front and back of the crown, and there are twelve chapters on the clothes.
Huaiyu specially ordered to enter the palace to attend the banquet and accompany him to the last seat.
"Mr. Ji Guo, you, the ninety-nine-year-old Gun Mian, are truly powerful in spirit."
As a fifth-rank official, wearing the Xuanmian Huaiyu, I can only stand at the back today.
Red, purple, green, several colors.
This was an idea that Xu Jingzong gave him. After this guy knew that gunpowder could make fireworks, he suggested to Duan Lun that he should quickly make some and burn them at a grand ceremony like today to celebrate the new emperor.
Fan Xuanfu looked at him in a daze, as if it was already their wedding day and the wedding ceremony.
Today's scene was indeed grand, but for Wu Huaiyu, he could not enter the palace and only listened to those people preaching and shouting.
"My sister brought me up since I was a child. How can I not kiss you?" Huaiyu smiled, "Aren't you also very close to your brothers? You even beheaded the mounts of seven noble children for them before. It's very satisfying.
Everyone in Chang'an knows that Mrs. Fan loves her younger brother the most."
Huaiyu was not qualified to go to the palace, so he could only watch from the corridor on the first floor.
Today there are so many people on the streets of Chang'an City. Officials in Beijing, big and small, are all attending the grand and grand coronation ceremony of the new emperor. There are also local officials, tribal leaders of various vassals, envoys, etc. who have come here.
Huaiyu, a male from Daling County and a young military eunuch, actually received a decree from a chamberlain and was qualified to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, which aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of a group of fifth-rank officials nearby.
Wei Zheng stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng wants to impeach Duan Lun, the military supervisor, as well as Wu Huaiyu, the young supervisor, Xu Jingzong, the supervisor, etc. The state sets up military supervisors, recruits craftsmen, appoints officials, allocates money and food, and consumes materials in order to make good things for the country.
There are useful things, but they make these strange and cunning things, which are a waste of money, food and material resources, and are only for people's entertainment. Is this what a human being should do?
I request you to hold Duan Lunwu, Huaiyu, Xu Jingzong and other weapons supervisory officials accountable for their crimes, and strictly investigate the superiors and subordinates of the weapons supervisory department!"
"As soon as Your Majesty ascended the throne, some people began to go out of their way to flatter and flatter you. This case must not be repeated and must be severely punished to set an example for others!"
Wei Zheng stood up and severely attacked Duan Lun in front of everyone, pointing his finger at Duan Lun and spitting all over his face!
