In the main hall, Li Shanduan was sitting on the south side, and Cui Xin, the guest of honor, dressed in black attire, looked solemn.
"The reason why ordinary people are human is etiquette and righteousness. The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in correct appearance, correct color, and smooth speech. Then the etiquette and righteousness are prepared."
"To be a righteous ruler and minister, to be intimate with father and son, and to be harmonious to the elder and younger, to be righteous to the ruler and minister, to be intimate to father and son, to be harmonious to the elder and younger, and then establish etiquette and righteousness. Therefore, if you are crowned, then you should be obedient. If you are obedient, then your appearance and body should be upright, your color should be uniform, and your speech should be obedient. Therefore, it is said: the one who is crowned is ceremonial.
The beginning of it."
Li Shan has also seen a short video of him being crowned in his previous life, and I think the difference is a bit big. Behind him, Wang Renbiao, who is acting as a liker, is combing his hair and tying it up in a bun.
However... although Wang Renbiao was quite discriminated against at home, he was a member of a noble family after all. How could he tie his hair in a bun? His hands were so strong that he pulled Li Shan's eyes straight, but the hall was full of dozens of guests, so he couldn't do it.
If you cry out in pain, it becomes a joke.
The busiest person in the crowning ceremony was Wang Renbiao. He tied up his hair in a bun and stood next to Cui Xin holding up the ornamented crotch.
Cui Xin took a cloth crown and put it on Li Shan's bun, and recited: "On the day of the auspicious month, I will start to add yuan clothes, abandon your young ambitions, obey you and become virtuous, and live long and prosperous, so as to introduce good fortune."
Li Shan stood up and bowed, went to the south room, removed the silk cloth crown, Xiaoman and Zhou rearranged his hair, and Cui Xin outside also had to wash himself again.
After a while, Li Shan received his second crown. This time it was the Jinxian crown. Normally, the Yuanyou crown should be used. However, Li Shan had already become an official and was conferred as a county king, so he used the Jinxian crown, and it was also the Sanliang crown.
.
There were three crowning ceremonies in total. On the third occasion, Li Shan took off his clothes and went out in his inner clothes to receive the crown title.
In the whole ceremony, the most important thing was Cui Xin, the guest of honor who crowned Li Shan three times, but the busiest one was Wang Renbiao, the praiser. At this moment, he was busy moving the wine vessels into the house and pouring the wine alone... Li
Shan specifically told you not to use a jade pot of spring. Look at the wine cup. If you drink one cup, it will be poured.
Wang Renbiao changed the position of the spoon at the reminder of the deputy guest Li Keshi... The etiquette is so strict that there are strict regulations on which direction the spoon head should go.
Li Shan held the cup and made three offerings, drank all the sweet wine in the cup, placed the goblet in his goblet, and then bowed to the guests one by one.
At this point, the procedure is basically completed. There should have been a ritual for naming the character of life, but a few years ago Ling Jing was given the character Huairen... Logically speaking, Ling Jing is actually qualified to be the guest of honor or the host, but now he is the confidant of King Qin
, obviously inappropriate.
Seeing Li Shan entering the south room, where he was going to pay a visit to his mother, Li Daoxuan clicked his tongue and said: "The two Han Dynasties emphasized the crown ceremony. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the crown ceremony was abandoned for a time. Such etiquette is really rare."
"The last time I saw a crown ceremony performed with Han rites like this was more than 40 years ago." Chen Shuda nodded slightly. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the crown ceremony was basically abolished, and the royal family of the Southern Dynasties still retained it. Chen Shuda was referring to his brother Chen Shubao.
.
A few years ago, Li Yuan issued an edict to restore Han family etiquette. Officials from the emperor to princes, prefectures, and kings all set the scale of the crown ceremony, but in fact not many implemented it. Last year, Li Daoxuan's crown ceremony was basically a formal ceremony.
Follow the process.
As for Li Shan's crown ceremony, Cui Xin, Princess Pingyang and his wife all made great efforts. Especially the former, they found many great scholars, traced the origins from ancient books, and strictly followed the Han system... Li Shanguang was very good at rehearsals.
Suffering.
In fact, in history, the crown ceremony eventually declined during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that it really emerged. The leaders were Sima Guang and Cheng Yi.
Zhu Yuanzhang expelled Meng Yuan and realized the second revival of Guan Li. After the Qing army entered the pass, Guan Li basically ceased to exist. It was not until the era before Li Shan traveled back that Guan Li was restored.
In the south room, Li Shan prostrated himself in front of Zhu's knees and offered his breasts in his hands. Zhu returned the favor with tears in his eyes. From the north to the south of the mountain, there were frequent changes, but his son worked hard and rose up. He is now famous all over the world and can be praised throughout the ages.
Although the procedure was basically completed, he still needed to say thank you. Li Shan recited it silently in his mind and felt that the crowning ceremony really needed to be simplified... No wonder I haven't heard of anyone performing the crowning ceremony with great fanfare in the past few years. It's too troublesome.
Li Shan first bowed to his mother, then to Princess Pingyang, who sat in the inner room as his elder sister, and then went straight out.
Logically speaking, the orphan should bow before his father's memorial tablet before he was crowned, but Li Shan obviously had no such intention, and the strong-tempered Zhu family and Princess Pingyang also agreed.
First of all, you should thank the principal guest, the deputy guest, and those who praise you, and treat them with a gift... a glass of wine, and then present five bolts of silk and two deer skins.
Next, I thank all the guests. This process is also called the Jiao ceremony. Well, it means drinking with all the guests.
The last step is to pay homage to the king, which is the etiquette of a township official. If you are an official and qualified, you need to pay homage to the king. If you are not serving as an official, you should pay homage to the township official.
When it comes to Li Shan specifically, he naturally has to go to the palace to pay homage to Li Yuan.
Cui Xin, the guest of honor, held the cup and said loudly: "The wine is fragrant, the beans are neat. Add three to your serving, and the dishes are as good as the rest. In honor of Heaven's celebration, blessings are boundless."
All the guests raised their glasses together and drank them all in one gulp.
Seeing that there was still time and the process was almost complete, the host Li Xiaogong, who had been making decorations, smiled and said: "Today is the best day for the crowning ceremony of this dynasty."
Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui stroked his beard and said: "But the achievements of the King of Handan are also rare."
Li Daoxuan thought for a while, "Second brother was in Baibi back then."
The year when Li Shimin was crowned at the age of 20, it happened to be the Great War in Hedong. He led his army to station in Baibi to confront Song Jingang, so it was naturally impossible to perform the crowning ceremony.
Li Shan thanked everyone one by one. It didn't matter who he was familiar with or had a close relationship with, but some people came to see him because of Cui Xin, Li Keshi and others, so he needed to thank them one by one.
It lasted until dusk. Li Shan first thanked and sent away the principal guests, deputy guests, and those who praised the ceremony. Then he thanked and sent away all the guests. Finally, wearing a black crown, black clothes, and black knee-coverings, he entered the palace to have an audience.
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuan looked at Li Shan with a smile and said with a smile: "Such a young man is already famous all over the world even before he is crowned. I am very much looking forward to him being crowned today."
Prince Li Jiancheng said loudly: "Father, Huairen is crowned today, and he should be given the important task."
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and Li Shimin, who was next in line, couldn't help but look up. What does this sentence mean?
However, Li Shimin did not say anything. In recent days, unless he touched the foundation, such as abolishing the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, he remained silent on anything else... Li Yuan's attitude has become more and more obvious.
Is this your idea again?
Li Shan complained in his heart, but said: "Although cotton is a small thing, it is of great benefit to the country and the people. I should do my best."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Today Huairen is crowned, I will enjoy the five soups of Lishan. Huairen can choose any of them."
Five mouthfuls of Lishan soup?
Li Shan thought about it in his heart. This reward is not very good, but it is not bad. From now on, Li Shan... Li Shan?
Farewell, there will be no Huaqing Pool in the future, only Li Shan Tang...
