In February of the second year of Yanxing (AD 194), the emperor turned fourteen. According to his own request, he hoped to be in Yuan Dynasty this year.
Since ancient times, the emperor's Yuanfu has been an extremely important matter. It can be traced back to three generations, and more recently it can be seen in Emperor Xiaohuan. Once the emperor wears Yuanfu, it means that the emperor has grown up, has perfect morals, can govern independently, and can also worship ancestors, states and counties.
All the officials also came forward to express their congratulations to show their loyalty.
But according to the practice of the former Han Dynasty, the emperor was not yet full of age. Emperor Xiaohui served in the Yuan Dynasty when he was twenty years old, and Emperor Xiaozhao served in the Yuan Dynasty when he was eighteen years old. In comparison, the emperor today is still young. But since Shizu
In the future, the emperors were often short-lived. Emperor Xiaohe, Emperor Xiaoan, and Emperor Xiaoshun all ascended the throne at a young age. In order to be in charge as early as possible, the time for Yuanfu was also greatly advanced. Even if Emperor Xiaohuan was controlled by Liang Ji and had to postpone Yuanfu, it was only seventeen years.
Although the emperor had already agreed with Chen Chong that he would not take charge of the government before he was twenty years old, he still wanted to take the initiative as soon as possible because he wanted to take the initiative.
When the news came out, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public, and everyone thought that Captain Sili would postpone it for at least one or two years. But Chen Chong knew the importance of loyalty, so he replied on the same day that the emperor was saintly and knowledgeable, had the talent to understand the late emperor, and was filial to Taizong, so he was worthy of the throne.
It’s just that the Yuan Dynasty service is a national event and should not be taken lightly. You can choose an auspicious day and an honored guest to advertise it to the world first, and then perform the courtesy of Cao Bao, so as to understand the power of the Han Dynasty.
Taking into account the uncertainty of the world and the long announcement day, Chen Chong and the emperor discussed it and set the date of Yuanfu on September 30th. Originally, there were many disasters in the country for half a year, and the emperor thought it was because of the unlucky time.
He planned to postpone the date to next year, but Chen Chong insisted that the emperor should keep his word, and since he had informed the world, he should not change it at will. Fortunately, there was a great victory in Puyang, so the emperor obeyed.
Finally, on the day of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor and all the officials rode to the Taimiao Temple and went to the Gaozu Temple. The emperor knelt down in front of the memorial tablet and offered sacrifices, saying: "The Han Dynasty has the world, Yiye Chongguang. It stretches the country for several four hundred years."
.It has been five years since Emperor Xiaoling ascended the throne, the artifacts were covered with dust, and the country declined. The descendants have been unfaithful, but fortunately, good ministers worked together and all the scholars assisted, so that the industry can be revived, and the great honors can be rebuilt. Today, we have
Fourteen years old, literature, etiquette, music, Dharma, five laws, and conduct are crowned. This is a special tribute to the great ancestor to protect the descendants and make great achievements again!"
After reciting, Chen Chong, the captain of the Sili School, came forward in court clothes and stood in front of the great ancestor's spiritual throne as a distinguished guest. He placed the four sets of crowns on the table in front of the spiritual throne. He would personally serve as the emperor's emperor.
In the word Yuanfu, Yuan means the head of a person, so Yuanfu is also called Jiaguan. According to the new etiquette revised by Cao Baobao when he was a filial emperor, Chen Chong first put on the emperor's crown of gold and silver, which meant that the emperor came of age and could stand on his own from now on.
Participate in politics.
After the emperor showed it to the officials, Chen Chong added the title of Jue Bian and Wu Bian to the emperor, which in turn meant that the emperor was qualified to participate in military affairs and sacrifices. At this point, the ordinary crowning ceremony was over, but the emperor was different from ordinary scholars.
Finally, the Tongtian Crown must be added. The Tongtian Crown is second only to the Crown and can only be worn by the emperor. After Chen Chong put it on, he saw that the emperor was trembling slightly. Knowing that he was extremely excited, he smiled and comforted him and said: "Congratulations.
Your Majesty."
The emperor stood up, looked up and looked back at Chen Chong, with a rare admiration in his eyes. He bowed and said, "It's all because of you that I am where I am today!"
So the order was sent out, and the two of them walked out of the high temple hand in hand. The officials who were waiting at the foot of the steps knew that their Yuan robes had been completed and it was time to perform the last salute. More than a thousand people knelt down to worship like the autumn wind sweeping over them.
They all said in unison: "Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
After the ceremony, they all raised their heads and looked at the emperor curiously. After all, in many court meetings, the emperor often listened in the side hall because he was not in Yuan Dynasty. For many officials of 600 stone, this was also the first time to see Tianyan.
They saw that the emperor had a long head, high cheekbones, and teeth as white as jade. Although he had not fully opened his teeth, under the imperial crown, he had a figure as tall as a pine, eyes as bright as fire, and had an imperial air. They all sighed in their hearts:
Ah, I didn’t expect that after Huan Ling, the Han Dynasty could produce such a good man again.
After the ceremony of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor announced a general amnesty for the whole world and granted Princess Wannian a hundred catties of gold. The general, the three princes, the minister, the special minister, the marquis, the middle two thousand stones, the two thousand stones, the general, the doctor, the Langli, all officials and below.
Rice, wine, and meat each have their own differences. Wine and meat are specially added to those who are over sixty years old. According to the past etiquette, the splendid silk cloth should have been rewarded, but now that the country is in difficulty, under Chen Chong's suggestion, food has been substituted.
In order to celebrate the emperor's first victory, Chen Chong ordered that Chang'an city can lift the curfew for three days and open the market at night. This is a rare thing. Since Chen Chong served as Sili Xiaowei, in order to restore order, Chang'an was governed with strict laws. Although it was not as good as Cao Cao's appointment
When he was a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, he encountered the torture of killing people with a hammer at night, but all passers-by were scrutinized in detail, and those who broke the law would be punished with confinement. Even the specially recruited traders were no exception, which made all officials in Chang'an
Treading with fear, not daring to go any further.
However, after two years of governance, Guanzhong gradually stabilized, the population of Chang'an also gradually increased, and the social life of officials, civilians, and common people became richer. Although it was far less prosperous than in Luoyang in the past, the gentry in the city pursued luxury, so much so that they created
Residences, buying and selling slaves, raising fine horses, admiring flowers and fighting cocks, and other pleasure-seeking businesses gradually prospered. Some high-ranking officials also persuaded the Tianzhu monks to build Buddhist temples around Chang'an and provide alms. The bustle and prosperity in the city could no longer be suppressed. The autumn harvest has ended, the New Year is approaching, and the war in Guandong is going well. Everything seems to be going in the right direction. After hearing the news that the imperial court had lifted the ban, the people of Chang'an were filled with joy and seemed to be unable to suppress it anymore. For a time, everywhere
There are all the sounds of setting off firecrackers, the streets are decorated with colorful lanterns and splendid hanging doors. Even in the middle of the night, the city of Chang'an looks like stars.
But for Chen Chong, he prefers to be quiet. The officials in the government have also had a holiday for the past three days, so he simply locked the door and rested at home to accompany his wife and father. Speaking of which, his eldest son Chen Shi
He was already two years old, and he was learning to speak next to Chen Kui. Chen Shi's talent was very average, so Chen Kui read him the Book of Songs. After reading the first chapter "Guan Ju", Chen Shi just stared at his round face.
His eyes were giggling. Chen Kui recited it again, and the child patted the bed and said loudly: "Guan Guan, Guan Guan." Chen Kui had no choice but to see Chen Chong smiling at the side, and he said, "Thank God, if only he were like you."
, I have to prepare a coffin first."
Then he accused Chen Chong and said: "A gentleman should be cautious about being alone. Others are celebrating. Do you think you are noble by not interacting with others?" Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Isn't it that I am accompanying my father and Ayan?
?Ayan is pregnant again, how can I go away? Besides, I already have enough ordinary communication, why do I need to make up for it at this time?"
In April this year, Cai Yan became pregnant again. Now, her belly has grown bigger, and she wakes up and falls asleep on the couch. But unlike three years ago, her life in Chang'an is stable, and Cai Yan no longer has to worry about Chen Chong.
Life and death, there are a lot more smiles on my face.
Chen Kuiming knew that Chen Chong was perfunctory, and he couldn't say anything to refute him. He sighed and said, "Your mother died early because I didn't take good care of him. Don't make my mistakes. What ideals and ambitions, what achievements of a thousand years?"
, you will realize when you are old that nothing can compare to the love of a husband and wife and the harmony of the family. If you and Zhao Ji can live together forever, I will not say anything."
In front of his father, no matter he is an adult or not, a child is just a child after all, and Chen Chong only has Nuonuo. So on the last day of the night market, Chen Chong invited some friends and disciples to his home for a party. Acquaintances like Zhong Yao, as soon as they entered the door
He laughed and said, "It's really not easy to get into Longshou's house. At that time, the family of Li Yuanli, a model in the world, was known as Longmen. Your family is almost catching up with Tianmen."
Han Hong, Chun Yuzheng, Cui Yan, Sun Yan and others started making noises. Chen Chong laughed and said: "My house is simple and there are not even a few gray heads. How can I dare to entertain people?" With this, Chen Chong cooked for them personally.
I had a meal of wild goose soup. Although Chen Chong was the best at making fish dumplings, there was nothing he could do about it. There were so many soldiers who drowned in the Jingshui in the middle of the year before last. Many fishermen found human finger bones in the fish maws when they were fishing for river fish.
Guanzhong has been averse to fish ever since.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more lively. They soon started chatting, talking about trivial things in the city recently. Some talked about the miraculous Buddhist temples and pagodas, some talked about the treasures and jade collected at home, and some talked about which family's daughter was waiting for marriage.
Those who were about to get married didn't know what was going on, so they talked and finally talked about the emperor's marriage. Although the emperor was young, he had already been engaged. As early as when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Dong Zhuo selected his concubines.<
/p>
It’s just that now that the emperor is in Yuanfu, the position of the queen should not be vacant. There are only two candidates now. One is Zhi Jinwu, who has buried his eldest daughter. When the emperor ascends the throne, he will enter Yeting as a noble. The second is General Dong Cheng of Jianping.
The second daughter is extremely beautiful, and she also entered the palace as a noblewoman last year.
No matter who is the queen, her relatives will become relatives of the country, so all the officials are very concerned about it. Everyone thinks that Dong Guiren is more suitable. After all, Dong Cheng has the merits of rescuing the emperor, and he can also make her his queen.
Commend loyalty.
Speaking of this, Yilang Zhao Yan came over and asked Chen Chong in a low voice: "What do you think, Mr. Chen?" The atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Chen Chong glanced at him and knew that he had been close to the emperor recently. At this moment, he asked himself, in fact, he also belongs to the emperor.
Meaning. Chen Chong replied: "This is a family matter of the emperor, not a state matter. What should I say? Your Majesty is happy."
After Zhao Yan retreated, the atmosphere became lively again. Chen Chong was holding tea, but he couldn't help but feel a little bored. His high position meant that there was no peace anymore. He said it was the emperor's family affairs, but in fact it affected thousands of people.
The heartstrings of hundreds of people.
While he was distracted for a while, while he was listening to other people's gossip, Zhao Yan had already talked about Princess Wannian's marriage: "Since the late Emperor was in the imperial court, His Majesty's only closest relative has been His Highness, but now His Highness Wannian is already twenty-nine years old, and Si Huiyin is appointed.
It is really strange that she is so beautiful and has the blessing of taking care of herself and raising herself, but she still has no intention of choosing a son-in-law. Your Majesty asked her several times, but she was speechless and did not know when she would find a husband."
Zhao Yan asked Chen Chong again: "What does Mr. Chen think?"
Chen Chong's expression remained unchanged, he put down the tea cup and said, "This is your Highness's family matter, so why force it?"
