In Lichun Hall, Shao Shude was trying on the military uniform.
The Tang Dynasty was a land of virtue, and the country lasted for more than 280 years. When a comet touched the palace, the movement of gold was a sign, so the new dynasty was a country of gold virtue.
The golden virtue is white, and the dragon robe is white.
But the embarrassing thing is that because it is not suitable for making in advance, it is not available yet, so what Shao Shude is trying on at this time is the emperor's dress from Shangxuanxiahui of the imperial dynasty.
"It fits quite well." Shao Shude took two steps and said with a smile.
Mr. Chen from Shang Palace and Ms. Xiao who had recently arrived from Ruzhou all smiled, with expressions of excitement and relief on their faces.
Luckily for Ms. Chen, Ms. Xiao has been trained as a standard for the emperor's concubines since she was a child. After the chaos in the nest, she thought she had no chance, but she never expected that she would really become the emperor's woman in this life.
Things are changing like a dream.
Queen He was also present.
Today is the first day of June, and it is still the meeting of the Tang Dynasty. Empress He attended it for the last time, arriving in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.
In fact, according to the process, she can still go to court for a while. Because Shao Shude has not completed the enthronement ceremony, she is not required to avoid suspicion or anything, so she can do whatever she needs to do. There will be no suspicion between the male and female pair at all.
But she will not go there later. The public reason is that the Holy King has passed the Zen throne, and as the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, it is not suitable for her to return to the court. The real reason is that her belly can no longer be hidden.
The queen should have been conceived at the end of February, and it's already been three months. The reason why she won the bid so quickly is because the tutor spilled too many seeds, and the two of them fell in love so many times that the bed was about to be shaken.
Collapsed.
"Master..." The queen looked ashamed and somewhat pitiful.
"I have promised that after succeeding to the throne of Dabao, I will dedicate the city of Le'an in Dizhou to the emperor of Tang Dynasty and grant him the title of Prince of Le'an County. I will comply with the rituals and abide by the old facts. There is no need to be taboo." Shao Shude said: "Since you are pregnant with me,
If I send you back, it won’t be good for anyone.”
Having said this, he sat down next to the queen, gently held her waist, and said: "During these days, the government depends a lot on the queen. It was me who took the initiative to provoke you in the first place, so I must be responsible for you. It's just -
—For this moment and a half, I still have to aggrieve you."
The queen probably knows what's going on.
"You first go to Anguo to observe the female Taoist priests to avoid the limelight." Shao Shude said: "It is said to the outside world that due to the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zuo was so sad that he became a monk and practiced Buddhism. The king of Le'an County promised him that after the child was born, he would take over
You enter the palace. I have hundreds of thousands of troops at my disposal, and I have been marching here and there for twenty years. I want a woman, and no one dares to object."
Queen He was a little disappointed.
She felt that she had paid so much for Shao Shude, and even got pregnant with his child, but in the end she still had to be so secretive. Don't you like to play with other people's wives? Why are you so timid this time? Are you afraid?
"Don't think nonsense, take good care of the baby. The days are still long." Shao Shude comforted: "You have done a great job in helping the government. You also presented the emperor's treasure book and the national jade seal, which is a great contribution. If the time is right, I can give it to you.
How about the honorific title of 'Queen Tang Shuxian'?"
The empress and queen mother were given the honorific title while they were still alive. It was not common. Usually, they were given the honorific title after the Zen position, or after the emperor passed away.
Queen He's mood finally improved, and the Taifu did not lift her pants and admit her fault. It was the title "Shu Xian" that made her slightly uncomfortable.
But it's better than a title like "Zhenxian". She committed herself to a minister, which was obviously unfaithful and she had no face to accept it.
"Let's modify it according to this model." After the trial, Shao Shude took off his robe and put on the robe of the Prince of Tang Dynasty. He said, "Use white as the main tone, but not a solid color. Try to make a few more sets.
Let me choose."
"According to the order." Mrs. Xiao glanced at Shao Shude charmingly, covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Legally speaking, he is not the emperor yet, but in fact he is already. After today's court meeting, a large number of imperial edicts were sent from the Menxia Province, waiting for his approval.
Those court officials are extremely enthusiastic about their work. Maybe they have suppressed it in the past. They have never had so many government affairs to deal with. People are so mean, especially political animals. When they say they are tired, they are just talking.
If you deprive him of the power to give orders and let him relax, only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling.
"By the way, Xiao Shanggong is familiar with etiquette, music and dance. Yesterday, Taichang Qing Guo Ji reported that he wanted to control the elegant music of the new dynasty. See if you can help." Shao Shude said.
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao responded.
"When Tang Zu ascended the throne, he used pre-Sui ritual music, right?" Shao Shude asked again.
"Exactly." Mrs. Xiao replied: "When the dynasty was first established, there was no time to establish ritual systems and elegant music, so the old Sui system was used."
"Isn't it the difference between elegant music and music in the past dynasties?"
"Guochao Yale was continuously improved and finalized by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong. It combined the Yale of the former Sui Dynasty, the Yale of the Southern Dynasties, Qi and Chen Gongzhengzheng, and created the Yale of the Tang Dynasty. It also set up a workshop to specialize in practice."
"It's not easy." Shao Shude sighed.
Each dynasty will produce its own official music and determine its own rituals, such as sacrificial rituals, military rituals, ominous rituals, etc. These are the symbols of the connotation of a unified dynasty and are indispensable.
Short-lived dynasties or separatist dynasties generally do not have the ability to perfect these things. They are despised, and it may not be without this factor - they look irregular, and you still say they are not a grassroots team?
The enthronement ceremony, elegant music, and etiquette systems will be held in the Tang Dynasty later. After all, many dynasties were like this when they first started. But the uniform system can be adjusted first.
You can't proclaim yourself emperor and come to court. Officials should still wear the official uniforms of the previous dynasty, right? What does this look like?
******
On the fifth day of June, Qingshu Palace in Ruzhou.
"See you, Princess." Yang Hongwang, the deputy envoy of Yin'an, led the generals to salute.
"Get up." Zhe Fangmai said with a smile on her face: "You guys have worked hard on your journey. Please collect some money and silk soon."
"Thank you, Princess, for the reward." Everyone shouted.
Liu Jingxuan, the chambermaid, winked, and soon the chamberlains and palace attendants took the money and silk and distributed them one by one.
Zhe Fanghao strolled to a gorgeously decorated car.
This is a Chongzhai chariot.
Zhai, pheasant, and golden pheasant. Those with two layers of pheasant feathers as cover are called heavy Zhai chariots.
It is decorated with gold ornaments, with vermilion on the wheel, and gold carving teeth. The carriage is decorated with heavy Zhai feathers.
There are decorations, curtains for shelter, red silk nets, embroidered purple belts, and Zhai tails on the cars.
The Chongzhai chariot is for the exclusive use of the Queen.
Zhe Fangmei gently touched the decoration on the car, looking slightly excited.
Two Chongzhai vehicles were prepared.
One is for the princess, and the other is for Zhao Yu.
Zhe Fang Ai understood this in her heart and felt slightly aggrieved, but she quickly suppressed it.
In addition to the Chongzhai chariot, there are also the Yanzhai chariot, the Zhai chariot, the An chariot, the Siwang chariot, and the Jingen chariot.
The shape is similar to that of Chongzhai car, but there are subtle differences in decoration and color.
In fact, all queens can ride in these sixth-class cars, and the vehicles used are different on different occasions. However, there are only Chongzhai cars, which cannot be used by married women, concubines and princesses. It is the queen who is enshrined, worshiped, and enjoys the temple.
Exclusively available at the time.
Zhe Fangmei took the Chongzhai carriage to Luoyang to be canonized as queen.
Zhao Yu was a royal concubine and was originally not eligible to ride on the Chongzhai carriage, but Shao Shude granted her the privilege of "treating her as a concubine" and receiving special treatment.
"This is the majesty of the Tian family..." Zhao Yu and Feng Xuan walked out side by side and looked at a car parked there, dumbfounded.
Liu Jingxuan ran forward and then explained with a smile: "The queen and Concubine Zhao took a Zhai chariot; Concubine Feng Shu, Concubine Wu Zangde, Concubine Zhuge Xian took a Zhai chariot; Feng Zhaoyi and the concubines took a Zhai chariot; Jiang Jie
I will take the safe car."
"All the foreign wives, princesses, and concubines are riding in the Yanzhai chariot."
Women ride in cars and men ride horses, so these cars are all for women. Shao Shude's sons can only ride horses to Luoyang. Of course, if they are still young, they will be carried by the nurse in the Yandi car - Ruyang.
The mother usually has a married woman who is given a title.
Shao Mu, the eldest daughter of Shao Shude, walked around a Yanzhai car and gently touched the red brocade belt on it with her hands, a look of satisfaction on her face.
Xiao Feng looked at his daughter's unseen look and reminded her through gritted teeth: "You are going to get married soon. Have you forgotten all about being dignified and virtuous?"
Then he saw that his daughter's car was better than his own, and he felt a little sad.
She understands that the identities are different.
The daughter is a princess, a descendant of the emperor, and has a distinguished status. She is just Zhaoyi, and even though she is the biological mother of the princess, her status is quite different.
But she was satisfied. When she was fourteen years old, she married Wei Kui, a "famous person" in Xingzhou. There was a lot of noise after the marriage, but she never thought that this day would happen. Especially since her husband Wei Kui planned to dedicate her to Tian Lingzi's holiday.
In exchange for an official position, he made a fuss. Since he always has to serve other men, he might as well serve the strongest man in the world. Now he is finally rewarded.
Zhe Fang Ai and Zhao Yu looked at each other and both smiled.
King Xia's concubines and children have not yet changed their mentality. After the "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", they still need time to adapt.
"I have lived in Qingshu Palace for so long, and I feel reluctant to leave now." Zhao Yu looked up at the beautiful mountains and rivers, the majestic palace, and sighed.
"Jade lady, please don't sigh." Xiao Feng came over, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Go to Luoyang quickly and snatch His Highness back. If it is later, all the saints, concubines, princesses and princesses in the palace will be here."
I will be taken home by His Highness."
Zhao Yu rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng. They had lived together for a long time and were as close as family members, so they talked about everything.
King Xia liked to pick wild flowers outside. After picking, they turned into domestic flowers. After a while, he lost interest and continued picking.
He only likes wild flowers, not domestic flowers, you bastard.
"It's time to go." Zhe Fangmai took one last look at Qingshu Palace.
There will be people staying in the palace, but most of them have to go to Luoyang. King Xia sent a letter and arranged for all the concubines and children to be in Ziwei City, and the palace is almost ready.
At three o'clock in the morning, there were dragons of carriages and horses outside the Qingshu Palace. Zhe Fangmei took Shao Shude's concubines, children, and escorted by thousands of soldiers from Yin'anzhi and Ruzhou Prefecture, and headed north to Luoyang, preparing to receive the canonization.
The date, location and era name of the enthronement ceremony have also been determined.
