Chapter 1683 Wang Junlin establishes a country and proclaims himself emperor
On the first day of October, the sun was rising and there was no cloud in the sky.
Yangzhou, there are crowds of people inside and outside the imperial palace after renovation.
The Dazheng Palace, which is bound to become the highest power building in the Daan Empire, is also full of people inside and outside, but in an orderly manner.
Today is the day when Wang Junlin established his country and proclaimed himself emperor.
Originally, many ministers disagreed with the date of the first day of October, because according to various opinions, today is not a good day to establish a country and proclaim emperor.
However, Wang Junlin settled the matter without explaining the reason. Instead, the people below secretly speculated that today might be a special day. After all, Wang Junlin had many miraculous deeds.
What's more, Wang Junlin later added: From now on, the first day of October every year will be the National Day of our Da'an Empire. This made the ministers secretly think wildly.
Naturally, Wang Junlin did not need to personally take care of the specific procedures and business arrangements for the enthronement ceremony, and left all the power to Pei Shiju, an old guy who had "served" the two emperors Yang Jian and Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
In addition, the Wenxi Pei family was originally a noble family that had been passed down for thousands of years, and poems, books, etiquette and music were passed down to the family. As the head of the Pei family, Pei Shiju had a very advanced knowledge of etiquette.
In fact, Pei Shiju came up with a very detailed regulation on the etiquette required by the emperor, especially the norms of speech and behavior during the process of ascending to the throne, and even joined forces with Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others to beg on their knees to force the king to come.
However, Wang Junlin only briefly learned the etiquette and manners related to him after repeated requests from his ministers.
Therefore, compared with the rigorous and even harsh etiquette when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, the etiquette of the enthronement ceremony of the Da'an Empire today is not particularly rigorous.
Even the pattern and workmanship of the dragon robe Wang Junlin wears cannot be compared with that of Yang Jian and Yang Guang at that time. It is not that the level of embroidery work in the Da'an Empire cannot compare with the palace show workers of the Sui Dynasty, but that Wang Junlin himself does not like fancy clothes.
, repeatedly issued orders to the relevant civil servants who designed the dragon robe to make it as simple as possible.
Therefore, the dragon robe worn by Wang Junlin may have the simplest pattern in history. This caused many pedantic civil servants to criticize. For this reason, some people even came to Wang Junlin to play the trick of asking for death as a remonstration, which made the king angry.
Jun Lin was speechless.
But Wang Junlin's thoughts will never change at all because of these people's methods.
After all, in his opinion, as long as there is strength and majesty, props are just a symbol. Isn't the dragon robe on Yang Guang's body exquisite and bright? In the end, no one listened to him, and the country that deserved to be subjugated will still be subjugated.
And even if Wang Junlin doesn't wear the dragon robe, he is still the true master of the Da'an Empire.
………
………
According to the procedures of the enthronement ceremony, Wang Junlin first heard a burst of grand and slow music on the royal chariot. The sound of chimes and drums were particularly obvious, as well as other musical instruments. Wang Junlin didn't know much about music, so he couldn't listen to most of them.
come out.
However, he can still appreciate it. This kind of symphony called "Shao music" is very powerful, grand and solemn, and is very suitable for use in such a ceremony.
Wang Junlin stepped down from the royal chariot. In order to prevent the large dragon robe on his body and the crown on his head from swinging too much, his movements were very slow and steady, making him look very imposing.
This is how it came about.
In fact, it's all forced. If we don't go like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the imperial crown falls off the top of our head? What if we scare some people to death?
Wang Junlin did not turn around and look around, but with his eyesight, he could clearly see the scene in the Dazheng Palace Square with the corner of his eye.
Among the thousands of officials and thousands of soldiers, there were actually people dancing. A group of men and women holding shields and feathers, dressed like savages, were dancing there, crazy and weird dances like dancing great gods...
…
Wang Junlin really didn't understand much or had never even heard of such a ritual procedure. This was done by Pei Shiju, and it was said that it was passed down from the dance performed by the Yellow Emperor when he became the master in ancient times. It can be said that it has a long history.
The ancient master Huangdi can be said to be the ancestor of the Chinese nation and the beginning of the Chinese nation, so even Wang Junlin was full of interest in this dance and couldn't help but take a closer look.
After watching this barbarian dance, Wang Junlin slowly walked into the main hall through the middle door.
Wang Junlin was the only one walking around in the whole world.
At this moment, everyone in the room felt as if Wang Junlin had become the core of the entire world, the only one in the world.
He is truly a man of destiny.
Therefore, sometimes rituals are necessary, especially when the strict hierarchy is highlighted. The more solemn it is, the more it can highlight this point.
No wonder there were so many etiquettes in the feudal period. In fact, etiquette was often used to highlight the differences between people.
However, Wang Junlin suddenly felt a little lonely at this time, because no one came near him, and no one spoke. Only the sound of chimes and drums echoed slowly and rhythmically between heaven and earth.
However, Wang Junlin was quickly attracted by the group of people dancing in the main hall.
The clothes of these people are similar to those of the wild people dancing outside the palace, but there are obvious differences. At least all the people outside the palace are men, while all the people in the palace in front of them are women. According to Pei Shiju, this is called outer yang and inner yin.
However, at a glance, it is clear that it is said to have been passed down from the ancient Yellow Emperor period.
In the main hall, a group of beautiful women wearing long animal skin skirts and similarly weird costumes were dancing a weird dance. Their sleeves were extremely long, longer than their entire bodies, and they were swinging around.
However, the moment Wang Junlin stepped across the threshold, they suddenly stopped, as if someone secretly pressed the pause button, then knelt down on the ground and bowed to Wang Junlin.
Then they lined up in two neat rows and retreated nervously and orderly to both sides, leaving only the carpet in the middle leading directly to the dragon throne and the throne above.
"Ding, dong, dong, dong..." Wang Junlin heard clearly the strange rhythm in the magnificent music, and walked forward steadily with his head held high. Nearly a hundred civil and military officials under Wang Junlin stood in the hall.
Wang Junlin's current movements were simply practiced in advance and must be very solemn. He pressed his hands gently on his belt, kept his posture steady, walked in a straight line with his head held high, and walked really slowly.
The most important thing is that during this process, the neck must be straight and the head cannot move at all, otherwise the crown on the head will easily become crooked.
Therefore, the profession of emperor has been very tiring since ancient times. Even the actors who played emperors in movies and TV series in later generations did not find it easy.
Wang Junlin was thinking wildly, but everyone present looked solemn and solemn. Looking at Wang Junlin, their expressions were obviously different from before. Although they were still in awe before, it was Wang Junlin's authority that was in awe.
But now, in addition to the authority of the emperor, the one who is in awe is the power of the emperor, and this awe is even more natural.
In addition, while they were in awe, their expressions were extremely fiery, somewhat similar to the expressions of religious fanatics when they saw their pope or even their gods, but they were obviously different. Perhaps it has become a similar belief.
for accuracy.
As a result, Wang Junlin gradually immersed himself in this grand and solemn atmosphere from a state of random thoughts... It was like acting a play, a play of founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor.
Wang Junlin has actually sat on that high dragon chair many times before, during practice these days. He also sat on it when he first came to Yangzhou.
But now that I sit on it as the emperor of a country, this feeling is very different from before.
As he had practiced before, Wang Junlin smoothly turned around to face the main hall, gently smoothed the sleeves of his robe, sat upright with his upper body straight, and at the same time released his hands from his belt and placed them on the dragon chairs on both sides.
On the armrest.
During this process, the beaded curtain on his forehead was still shaking, causing Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other civil servants to frown slightly, but then they were replaced by panic.
At this time, all the civil and military ministers below had knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's holy life is boundless!"
From outside the open door of the palace, more voices came in: "Long live my emperor...long live long live..."
The sounds echoed inside and outside the magnificent Dazheng Hall, and inside and outside the palace, as if they lingered for a long time.
Finally, the music that had sounded a little noisy in Wang Junlin gradually stopped.
Wang Junlin took a deep breath, put aside the random thoughts in his mind, spoke as slowly as possible, and said, "My dear friends, please stay safe."
Wang Junlin didn't deliberately speak loudly. With a little luck in his Dantian, his voice spread throughout the entire Dazheng Palace and even reached the square outside the palace. There was no need for the five sound-passing chamberlains that Pei Shiju had arranged in advance between the entrance of the palace and the square.
Send a message, shout a message.
Wang Junlin inadvertently showed his hand, which immediately shocked the civil and military officials of the court, the soldiers outside the palace, and the tens of thousands of people invited to watch the ceremony. Many people thought of Wang Junlin's various miraculous deeds, and felt unnaturally uneasy in their hearts.
It feels like the emperor is a real dragon and emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." Thousands of people shouted in unison, as if they had rehearsed.
At this time, Du Ruhui, who was standing at the head of the ministers, came out, stood at the top, and began to read an article in person.
This article is naturally gorgeous and wonderful, but at the same time it is also obscure and difficult to understand. Even Wang Junlin did not understand many words.
With Wang Junlin's current level of classical Chinese, he could still understand some of the words written on paper, but when they were read out like this, it was still difficult for him to understand the meaning.
However, Wang Junlin didn't need to pay too much attention to these things. He was high up at the moment, looking at some very familiar people below, who followed him to conquer the world.
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Liu Ziming, Xu Jingzong, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Li Xuanba, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Wei Daoer, Gan Ziqi, Xiong Kuohai, Wang Bodang
Wait. Even Luo Yi from Youzhou came here specially.
