Chapter 909: Ordained by Heaven, that is, longevity and longevity
Shaotian Taishang Shenwu Shenghuang Tiandi.
When Zhu Yihai heard this title, he almost stumbled and fell. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, he once made a rule that he would not be granted a Zen title, would not be given a title, and would not be auspicious.
Titles are given to the emperor during his lifetime, also known as emblems. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the prime minister led hundreds of officials to give honorific titles to the emperor, which had become a common practice, and even eventually evolved into a false and vain cliché that was as stinky and long as an old woman's foot-binding cloth.
.
Even with OnePlus Plus, the emperor was given a title many times during his reign. The title was more than ten characters long, and even after his death for decades, he was given another title.
After the death of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the ministers of Zhenguan first took the title of Emperor Taiwu, then changed their title to Emperor Shenyao during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and then took the title Emperor Shenyao, Great Sage and Emperor Daguangxiao of Emperor Xuanzong. After Li Shimin died, the ministers took the title Emperor Wen, and then Gao
In the first year of Zongshang's reign, he was also honored as Emperor Wenwu Sheng, and in the third year of Tianbao's reign, he was honored as Emperor Wenwu Dasheng Da Guangxiao.
When Wu Zetian came to the court, she was honored as the Holy Mother God Emperor, Gaozong Li Zhi as the Emperor, and Zhongzong Yingtian as the Shenlong Emperor.
When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was in power, he gave himself six titles, starting with the four characters Kaiyuan Shenwu and adding the fourteen characters Kaiyuan Heaven and Earth Great Treasure Shengwen Shenwu Xiaode Zhengdao Emperor.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty increased the number to eighteen characters in one breath. Yuan Sheng Zhi Ming became the Wu Xianwen Ruizhi Zhang Ren Shen Cong Yidao Daxiao Emperor.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty began to abuse their titles.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated such false and empty titles, so he established rules not to confer a Zen title, receive a title, or receive auspiciousness. He just did not accept this kind of flattery, nor was he allowed to deliberately create any auspiciousness, and he was not willing to waste people and money by conferring a Zen title.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still retained the posthumous title after death, so the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not give the emperor a title during his lifetime, but after his death, he added a bunch of words to his posthumous title, which is equivalent to putting together the title and posthumous title.
.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s posthumous title is Emperor Gao, who established the great sage, benevolence, justice, martial virtue, and success. According to old practice, the posthumous title of Zhu Yuanzhang is that Emperor Gao is posthumous, which represents the founding of the country and the foundation of his country. As for the previous one,
Twenty characters are purely equivalent to a title.
After Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had sixteen characters before their real posthumous titles.
Anyway, they are very long.
When Zhu Yihai was in power, he did not receive auspicious titles and was not granted Zen status. Now that he has abdicated, the new emperor and the cabinet officials wanted to give him a title. He was unwilling, but the new emperor and others insisted on it. In the end, Zhu Yihai reluctantly agreed.
.
But he refused to accept the twenty-word title and ended up using ten words.
After he accepted the title, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wen Anzhi, also led hundreds of officials to give the new emperor a title, Chengtian Gongwen, Shunde, Renxiao Emperor, with eight characters.
The new emperor came forward to help Zhu Yihai.
Zhu Yihai also reached out his hand in cooperation.
As of midnight last night, Zhu Hongjia has officially become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty from the crown prince. Today's enthronement ceremony is just a grand ceremony.
From midnight last night, Zhu Yihai also became the Supreme Emperor.
However, at this time, the new emperor is still wearing the crown prince's crown prince's crown uniform of nine chapters and nine chapters. The crown gown of twelve chapters and twelve chapters prepared for him is now placed in the Fengtian Hall. He will be officially crowned by the Supreme Emperor and then ascend the throne.
, sat on the dragon throne, proclaimed himself emperor from the south, and officially ruled the world.
Zhu Yihai's edict to abdicate and return to power is equivalent to the couple's marriage certificate. The enthronement ceremony is a grand wedding ceremony. Only after completing this ceremony and sending them to the bridal chamber can they be considered a real couple.
The new emperor supported the hand of the Supreme Emperor and walked into the Fengtian Hall. Countless princes, nobles, civil and military officials, foreign envoys, etc. witnessed this scene.
The Emperor, who is more than thirty-six years old, although he has some gray hair, still looks tall and strong, with a tall and strong figure. It is really unbelievable that he will abdicate after only nine years on the throne, especially because he single-handedly defeated him.
The country.
If it were any other emperor, even if he was lying on the bed unable to move, as long as he still had breath and a shred of sanity, he would not be willing to voluntarily hand over power and abdicate.
The emperor beside him was like another supreme emperor. Except for Yuzhang, he was almost the same. Almost the same height, the same figure, and even the beard style was the same, but he was younger.
The eighteen-year-old new emperor.
If he hadn't grown his beard deliberately, he would even look a little too young.
The four years of staying behind to oversee the country as regent, as well as the fact that he once led troops to the Northern Expedition to exterminate the captives, gave him a lot of maturity beyond his age. Especially the years of training as a teenager, he has always retained perseverance in his bones.
"Don't be nervous. You are the father of more than a dozen children. This enthronement and succession ceremony will be similar to when you married the Zhang family." Zhu Yihai could feel that the eldest son's hands were trembling slightly and even a little sweaty.
He smiled and encouraged softly.
Emperor Tai'an cast a grateful look at his father.
Zhu Yihai held the dragon staff in one hand and the emperor's hand in the other, and walked step by step to the Fengtian Hall.
This is a very historic moment for the empire.
The old and new emperors handed over power.
It was not a bloody coup in the palace, but the emperor's initiative to abdicate and return to power.
Moreover, he retreated to the end, indicating that he would no longer be involved in political affairs in the future. All memorials and titles no longer need to be copied and submitted to the Emperor. The Emperor's family moved to the Xiangshan Palace in the western suburbs, and may even go south to Tokyo or even Nanjing to recuperate after the spring.
This is something incredible.
Until this moment, there were still countless people who did not believe that the Supreme Emperor would abdicate voluntarily.
But now the palace is filled with the governors of the six ministries and five armies of the cabinet admonishing the various supervisors, as well as the governors of local provinces, the feudal officials from the governor's office of the governor's office, and the naturalized leaders are all witnessing this historical moment.
Even the great emperor Zhu Yujian, who was promoted to the imperial uncle, stood at the head of the clan team, leaning on the dragon head pillar and looking at this scene in a daze.
He still can't understand this young emperor's nephew, who always behaves unexpectedly.
The throne will be handed over as soon as it is said to be handed over.
Although the Supreme Emperor had told him that his health was extremely ill, that he was unable to deal with state affairs due to frequent attacks, and that he could not even walk or eat normally, but who could be so indifferent as the emperor?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It has to be said that it is indeed more conducive to the stability of the country and the country if the emperor directly abdicates and allows the prince to succeed instead of overseeing the regency.
If it can become a good royal tradition in the future, it will be of great benefit to the country. When each emperor becomes seriously ill or old, he will pass the throne to the prince in advance. This can avoid many problems in the succession of the throne and even help the new emperor to be stable.
The first few years of government.
"The coronation ceremony begins!"
"play music!"
One drum and the music is over.
Zhu Yihai handed an edict to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Dai, the Minister of Rites, took the edict and read it out in the palace. This was the edict for the crown prince's coronation and accession to the throne.
After the edict was read out, the Minister of Rites took it to Fengtianmen and read it again, announcing it to the world.
Play music again.
Dr. Taichang and Donggong Zhanshi invited the new emperor to the throne.
Playing music over and over again, performing complex rituals over and over again.
Wen Anzhi, the first assistant to the cabinet and the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, was responsible for bringing the imperial robes to the emperor. Taizong ordered Tang Wang Zhu Yujian to be responsible for removing the new emperor's original Jiuyu Jiuzhang robes.
The Supreme Emperor Zhu Yihai put on the emperor's crown uniform in the Twelve Yuzhu Chapter for the new emperor.
The Minister of Rites was on one side presiding over the ceremony, while hundreds of officials watched the ceremony.
Jiuyu and Jiuzhang are removed.
Twelve Yuguan Chapter 12 server change.
When Xuan's clothes were put on, the leather belt and the red crotch covering the knees were put on one by one, and finally the twelve Yupingtian crowns strung together with seven-color jade beads.
There are twelve strings of jade beads on the front and back, twelve in each string, each made of seven-color jade beads.
Pingtian Crown is a bit heavy.
Wearing a flat crown may even block your sight.
He picked it up with both hands and placed it on the new emperor's lowered head. After steadying it, Zhu Yihai took out the jade hairpin in the crown and used it to fix the crown on the emperor's bun.
"emperor."
"The heavy crown symbolizes the heavy responsibility. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first. From the moment you put on the twelve crowns, you are no longer a mortal. You are the Son of Heaven, the son of Haotian.
The Lord of all peoples, the imperial power is granted by heaven, and is supported by hundreds of millions of people. You are the spokesperson of God in the world, and the representative of hundreds of millions of people in the world. You must think twice before doing anything you say or do in the future."
"The crown board is black and red below, with a rounded front and a rounded back, which symbolizes the round sky and the square earth. The back is one inch higher than the front, leaning forward, as if leaning forward, symbolizing the king's concern for the people."
"The hat scroll is decorated with red ink, the hat ring is decorated with gold pieces, and the front is decorated with jade cicadas, which means receiving Zen from heaven."
"The two pieces of yellow jade tied to the crown ring and hanging outside your ear holes are called stuffing, and the common name is Ting'er. They hang by both ears. It symbolizes that the king hears something and does not hear it, and cannot easily believe slander."
"These twelve beads are made of colorful silk threads threaded through colorful round beads. The front and back sections symbolize what the king sees and what he doesn't see!"
······
Zhu Yihai crowned the new emperor and fixed the crown for him. He also told the new emperor the special meaning of each component on the crown, once again reminding the emperor of his responsibilities and obligations.
"The twelve emblems on your red dress are mountains, moons, stars, etc. The sun, moon and stars are chosen for their brightness, fire, dragon, embroidery, and embroidery are chosen for their text.
The twelve chapter patterns are the etiquette system that has existed since the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of China."
The coronation of the new emperor is completed.
"My sons and ministers must bear in mind the teachings of the saints. The sun, moon and stars represent the three shining lights, which require the emperor's grace to shine in all directions. The mountain represents stability, and the emperor is required to be able to control the water and soil in the four directions. The dragon is ever-changing, and the emperor is required to be good at judging the time and seizing the situation.
National affairs.
Hua Chong requires the king to be outstanding in literary talent. Zong Yi is an ancient sacrificial instrument, requiring loyalty, filial piety and virtue from the emperor..."
"Very good, I hope you can remember it."
"I will pass you something else."
Zhu Yihai took out a brocade bag from his clothes and pulled it out under the curious eyes of the officials. It was a piece of jade.
Wen Anzhi, the first assistant, was very close and saw that it was a square jade seal with one corner inlaid with gold.
Gold inlaid with jade.
The jade seal passed down to the country.
On the other side, King Tang also thought of this almost subconsciously.
It has a radius of four inches and is connected by five dragons.
Zhu Yihai lifted up this gold-inlaid jade seal, with eight seal characters engraved on the front, shaped like a dragon, phoenix, and mullet.
"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life!"
"I will pass this on as the imperial seal and pass it on to you."
Emperor Tai'an was even a little stunned when he looked at this imperial seal.
This traditional jade seal is so famous that it is said that the first emperor of Qin unified the world and made a special seal with the treasures and jade handed down from ancient times, and ordered the Prime Minister Li Si to receive the seal script from heaven and say that he will live forever and prosper.
Our imperial power is entrusted to heaven, and the destiny of our country will surely be prosperous forever.
In the past dynasties of China, the jade seal passed down to the country has a very symbolic meaning. It is not just the emperor's seal, but also represents the country and orthodoxy.
"Didn't the imperial seal of the Kingdom of China disappear long ago?"
"I've found it!"
According to legend, the first emperor of Qin was crossing Dongting Lake in a dragon boat. When the wind and waves suddenly rose, the dragon boat was about to capsize. The first emperor of Qin threw the jade seal into the lake and prayed to the gods to calm the waves. The seal was lost and could not be found.
Eight years later, someone presented this seal.
Later, Liu Bang conquered the army, and the prince of Qin knelt down holding the jade seal and offered it to the left side of Xianyang Road. Qin died. Liu Bang punished Xiang Ji, who was the emperor, and passed down the jade seal from generation to generation, which was called the Jade Seal of the Han Dynasty.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative of the imperial family, usurped power and hid the seal in the Empress Dowager's place. Wang Mang came to retrieve it, but the Empress Dowager threw it away angrily. One corner of the seal was broken, but Wang Mang repaired it with gold, so it became gold inlaid with jade.
When Wang Mang was defeated and killed, Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan got the seal. Later, the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Penzi. The seal changed hands to Liu Penzi. When Liu Penzi was defeated, the imperial seal was given to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, He entered the palace to kill the eunuchs. The eunuchs fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared. Later, Sun Jian invaded Luoyang and obtained the seal, but was captured by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu obtained the seal and proclaimed himself emperor, but died in defeat. The Jingzhou governor took the seal to Xuchang
, Cao Cao took the emperor to order the princes, and passed the national seal back to the Han Dynasty.
When Cao Pi founded the Wei Dynasty and usurped the Han Dynasty, he specially had someone inscribe on the shoulder of the jade seal passed down to the country, "The Great Wei received the seal passed down from the Han Dynasty" to prove that he was not a usurper.
Later, the Sima family usurped Wei Jianya and passed the imperial seal to Ya. Later Zhao Shile destroyed the former Zhao and seized the imperial seal. On the right side, he added the four characters "Shi Mingshi".
But only twenty years later, Ran Wei destroyed Zhao, and the imperial seal was passed to Ran Wei.
Ran Min, the king of Wu Dao, begged the Eastern Jin Dynasty for rescue with his jade seal, and the Jin army sent 300 elite cavalry back to Jiankang overnight.
The national seal was not considered orthodox and was called the White Banner. Forty-two years after the seal was obtained, it was called the orthodox Central Plains Dynasty.
After that, the imperial seal passed through the Southern Dynasties, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty unified China, and the jade seal was also included in the Sui Palace.
Yang Guang was executed in Jiangdu, and Empress Xiao fled to the Mobei Turks with her seal. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, their father and son, had no national seal, so they had to carve several jade seals such as "Shou Ming Bao" and "Ding Ming Bao" to comfort themselves.
It was not until the fourth year of Zhenguan that Li Jing led his army to attack the Turks and sent Empress Xiao back to the Central Plains. The imperial seal was handed down to Li Tang.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many heroes. Zhu Wen deposed the Tang emperor and seized the imperial seal to build the Later Liang Dynasty. Sixteen years later, Li Cunxu destroyed the Hou Liang Dynasty and seized the imperial seal to build the Later Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Congke and the Empress Dowager burned themselves in the Xuanwu Tower, and the imperial seal disappeared.
The emperor of the later Jin Dynasty made his own jade seal, which was ordered by the heaven to be virtuous and prosperous.
After that, the later Zhou Dynasty also made its own jade seals and two national treasures. In the imperial edict, Ling Feng Daoshu wrote treasure texts, one of which was written as "the treasure of the emperor who inherited the mandate from heaven", and the other was written as "the emperor's sacred treasure".
Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against Chen Qiao, wore a yellow robe, accepted Zen and proclaimed himself emperor, passed on these two treasures, and made "the treasure of the Song Dynasty". When Taizong, he also made "the treasure of inheriting the destiny of heaven".
The Song Dynasty's Renzong system "the emperor admired the national sacrificial treasure".
It was not until the time of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty that a farmer discovered the imperial seal and presented it to the imperial court while plowing the fields. After extensive research by thirteen academicians, they determined that it was the imperial seal made by the First Emperor.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army defeated Bianliang, and the two emperors of Huiqin and Qin were plundered. The imperial seal of Chuan was snatched away by the Jin Kingdom and disappeared from sight.
After the collapse of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial seals suddenly appeared in Dadu and were sold in the market. They were snapped up by Boyan, the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, it was rumored that Boyan polished all the seals collected by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty from various countries and distributed them to princes and ministers to engrave for personal use.
Seal, there are rumors that the national jade seal also suffered accidents.
Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and then went on the Northern Expedition. Xu Da entered Mobei and pursued him relentlessly. It is said that Taizu gave Xu Da an important task, which was to find the imperial seal, but he could not find it. Later, Li Wenzhong conquered Mobei twice and captured Yuan Yuanzhang.
The concubines and the kings obtained some jade seals from the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, but still could not find the jade seal passed down from the country.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, someone offered a jade seal to pass down the country, but it was proven to be fake and was not adopted.
When Huang Taiji destroyed the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, his wife and children presented him with the Yuan Dynasty's national seal. However, Huang Taiji found someone to verify it, and found that it was not the Qin's national jade seal at all, but a mutton-fat jade seal given to the Huns when the Han Dynasty ordered Zhaojun to go out.
That's all, but Huang Taiji still announced to the outside world that he had obtained the imperial seal and officially changed the country's name to Qing.
The jade seal in Zhu Yihai's hand was not the fake one in Huang Taiji's hand. The jade seal was actually obtained by the prince after the Northern Expedition to eliminate the captives.
The piece in Zhu Yihai's hands was obtained during his tour of the West, and it is also very legendary.
In Mobei, a shepherd saw a sheep digging dirt with its hooves. After he dug it up, he found a crystal clear jade seal inlaid with gold buried underneath. He dedicated it to Waika of the Golden Family.
Erkha Tushetu Khan.
After Tuxie Tuhan got this jade seal, he did not recognize it as a real jade seal passed down from the country, and just kept it as an ordinary jade seal.
Later, he returned to the Ming Dynasty. Tuxie Tuhan sent his daughter to marry the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to cattle, sheep, horses, camels, etc., the dowry also included some jewelry, gold and silver, and this jade seal was among them.
When Zhu Yihai was in the Western Regions, he happened to see this jade seal in the tent of Saren, the daughter of Tushetu Khan, who regarded it as a paperweight for learning calligraphy.
At first, Zhu Yihai didn't quite believe that this was the Chuanguo Jade Seal, but then the more he looked at it, the more it looked like it. He asked many people to verify it, and finally confirmed that it was the Qin Chuanguo Jade Seal. Not only was the fish and bird seal characters correct, but it was also inlaid with gold and jade, especially the
The seal of the Great Wei Dynasty engraved by Cao Pi at that time and the seal of the Han Dynasty engraved by Later Zhao also have the words Tianming Shishi.
It took Zhu Yihai three years to confirm that this was the authentic jade seal of the Qin Dynasty.
Today, at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, he also officially handed over this imperial seal of great significance to the new emperor.
The imperial jade seal that had been lost for more than three hundred years reappeared on such an occasion.
This is of great significance to the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty and to the new emperor who was enthroned by Zen. This is ten thousand times more auspicious than ordinary auspiciousness.
In the forty-two years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the national seal was not handed down, so it was called the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a blank slate. When Li Shimin came to the throne, the national seal was not handed down when he first came to the throne, and he was also called the "blank-ban emperor".
Zhu Yuanzhang has always wanted to find the imperial seal from the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately he has never been able to find it. It has been passed down by the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty for more than 280 years. This is a great regret.
But now, the new emperor Zhu Yihai has abdicated the throne and obtained the imperial seal of the state of Qin.
This is the true destiny of God, and the Ming Dynasty will surely live a long and prosperous life.
The entire Fengtian Palace was shaken like an explosion. Seeing the emperor solemnly delivering the gold-inlaid jade imperial seal to the new emperor, all the courtiers in the palace knelt down.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The mountain shouts long live forever.
"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the country of Ming Dynasty will always be there!" The new emperor held the imperial seal in both hands, his face flushed with excitement.
Zhu Yihai held the new emperor's hand and said, "As ordered by heaven, I will live forever!"
