Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

The ceremony of enshrining Zen follows the ancient system, and the steps are extremely complicated.All the members of Yudian need to obtain a pure spiritual altar, fast and bathe for three days, wear luxurious clothes and crowns, and dress up to show their piety before they can go to Yuanshan.

The sealing ceremony was divided into two parts. First, the emperor personally led all the ministers to set up an altar at the foot of Yuanshan Mountain in the east. Under the altar, he buried the jade documents with the achievements of the dynasty, worshiped the ancestor tablets of the gods, and led the recitation. The sacrificial oration is to repay the merits to God; after the first ceremony, the emperor climbed to the top of the mountain with a few appointed high officials and ministers, built a five-party altar with the same color as Qingyun, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and held the second ceremony. of the gift. *

There is an old saying, "Whenever the world is prosperous, it will be closed to Zen, and it will stop when it declines."Feng Chan contains deep political meaning, symbolizing that the emperor is ordered by heaven, and it has extremely far-reaching significance to the royal family, and the whole ceremony is also extremely grand.Even a salty fish like Ming Tan, who is usually idle, dare not take it lightly at this time, and obediently followed Lin Shurong's request to rehearse over and over again, even including the posture when kneeling and the height of raising hands... There are so many details It was complicated and made her dizzy, not to mention struggling with the heavy pendants and clothes on her body, every strand of her hair was filled with grief.

Royal father actually has the nerve to call this "the grace bestowed"?

Ming Tan's face was ferocious, his anger was ignited, he felt that he was about to reach the realm of martial arts perfection, his head was full of hidden weapons, even picking hairpins and hairpins could kill people.

I'm so angry, I'm so angry, do you want this blessing for you?

But helplessly, no matter how many complaints she had in her heart, she couldn't complain to Lin Shurong, and she didn't dare to slack off in etiquette.The latter is always very serious about these things, even more serious than the maids in the palace. With his face closed and his hands in his sleeves, Ming Tan began to panic, and his slightly relaxed posture immediately tensed up again. I was afraid that she would pick him up in the next second, and throw him ruthlessly into the small black room to think about it.

After a few days of life that was worse than death, the emperor finally ordered to set off and lead the people to Yuanshan after she was talking in her sleep and reciting prayers in the Mingtan night, ending her painful torture during this period.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo " , " i am finally freed!"

Lin Shurong: "..."

Lin Shurong stroked her hair speechlessly, trying to perfunctory, thinking in confusion: Isn't it just to learn some etiquette, once you set it up, you can remember it very well, even the prayers and sacrificial rites are not difficult to memorize, they are all the words and sentences used in Zhou rites , How could His Highness resist like this?

——Miss Lin was born in a family, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she is old Versailles when she speaks. Of course, she can't understand Ming Xianyu's state of mind at all.

……

Yuanzhou is located in a slightly remote area, close to Qugong Pass on the frontier, and the distance from the capital is already far away, not to mention that with such a huge honor guard of the king, the speed of travel is naturally extremely slow.Moreover, the ostentation put up by the Ministry of Rites cannot be wasted. Every time they arrive in a big state, they have to rest and have fun with the local people, in order to show the majesty and closeness of the royal family.

As the well-known Princess Yonghui, Ming Tan naturally had no time to spare, even more tired than the emperor and empress.Because the people are extremely enthusiastic about her, they are not afraid of her at all, and they even brought rice, noodles, vegetables, or novel and interesting handicraft decorations from home, vying to give them to Mingtan, as if it would be a big deal if she accepted her. blessing.

Such a scene was very rare, and many ministers who were watching were secretly startled. Wen Chao even turned his head, looked at Zhong He meaningfully, and smiled at each other.

But Ming Tan, who was surrounded by the encirclement, was helpless. He obviously couldn't adapt to the simple and kindness coming to him. After talking for a while, he finally persuaded the people to return. He sighed deeply and turned around to look at Lin Shurong who was not far away. shrug.

Lin Shurong smiled slightly, his eyes were gentle.

His highness is so good-tempered, and he is really loved by the people all over the world.

... To be honest, this person's filter is not shallow.Fortunately, the courtiers next to her who had been scolded by Ming Tan to the point of crying could not hear her heartfelt voice, otherwise they would have been so angry that they would jump their feet.

So, just stop and go along the way, as the days passed slowly, the group finally arrived outside the city of Yuanzhou.

The bright yellow emperor's car is very conspicuous from a distance, the flags cover the sky, the car and the passengers are connected to each other, and there are a large number of people and horses in the front and back.

The gate of Yuanzhou city had already been opened wide, and the magistrate led a group of people waiting outside to welcome him.Ming Tan quietly opened the outer curtain of his carriage, looked forward with his head, was shocked immediately, turned his head and sighed to Lin Shurong who was in the same carriage as him: "Wow, there are so many people!"

Lin Shurong blinked, a little puzzled, "Yuanzhou City is not too big, the government office should have a small number of people, why does Your Highness say that?"

"Come and take a look," Ming Tan waved at her, "It's full of common people outside!"

Lin Shurong was taken aback, and leaned over to look, and saw that the open space outside the city gate was almost full of people, all of whom were dressed in plain clothes, with simple descriptions and excited expressions on their faces, except that there was only one person in the middle who looked like Moses. Like the sea, a spacious passage was set aside for the purpose of allowing the emperor to pass smoothly.

Even the well-informed Lin Shurong couldn't help being stunned by the sight of all the people coming to the court and lining the road to welcome him. Just as he was about to turn his head to say something to Ming Tan, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside. ——

"The people of Yuanzhou City welcome the Emperor, Long live Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, as if they had received an order, the people around bowed down one after another, made a respectful gesture with five hearts, and shouted in unison: "Yuanzhou City welcomes the Emperor! Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!"

The scene seemed familiar.

Ming Tan's fingertips gripping the curtain of the car slightly tightened, his eyes widened, and he was really shocked by the spectacular scene in front of him.

Just like she once led all the people in the Shun’an teahouse to wish the fortune of the dynasty—when many people gather and work together to do a certain thing, the impact is often grand and intuitive to deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

She pursed her lips and looked around slowly. When her eyes fell on the team closest to the city gate, she was slightly taken aback and paused.

Behind the official who was wearing a black gauze hat, who could be seen as the magistrate of Yuanzhou, stood a relatively short and slender figure at this time, completely incompatible with the group of elders around him.

Ming Tan stared at him, saw the other person's face clearly through many barriers, and immediately shook his head involuntarily and laughed.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"I think... I probably guessed who made this scene of welcoming the Holy Driver."

Ming Tan turned his head, grinned at Lin Shurong, and pointed in the direction of the city gate.The latter understood immediately, raised his eyebrows to look up, couldn't help laughing at the moment, and sighed: "This Bai girl is worthy of being promoted by the Highness's hand, but she is really a wonderful person."

……

To be honest, before actually arriving in Yuanzhou, the emperor actually had some uneasiness in his heart.

The first severe drought in Yuanzhou was a natural disaster, but the second famine was a man-made disaster.Although the two imperial envoys Zhong and Wen made great contributions to the disaster relief later, it was true that Zhu Zhishen was greedy for ink and disaster money, so that there was almost a civil disturbance, and the court must be liquidated.

But I never thought that the common people would be willing to walk out of their homes to welcome everyone... The emperor could hear that the voice of shouting "Long live your majesty" was full of respect and love, and it was definitely not the product of the prefect of Yuanzhou's deliberate show .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed, patted the Queen's shoulder, and said slowly: "I am ashamed of this."

"Your Majesty has a benevolent heart, and it is only natural that the people love him. How can there be anything to be ashamed of?" the queen comforted in a warm voice.

"Yuanzhou is able to have the current situation, all thanks to the wisdom of Longlin, who can transplant red sweet potatoes from Kunzhou to plant here, so that the people can have a good meal, otherwise..." The emperor shook his head, smothering the unfinished words. Between the lips, he said with emotion, "I still reward her too little!"

"A few days ago in the palace, when Miss Lin was teaching her etiquette, my concubine heard Tan'er complaining about the reward you gave me." The queen covered her lips and smiled, "If you know what your majesty is saying now, I'm afraid she will I'm going to jump up, I'm making a fuss with you."

"Hahahaha! Little girl's heart!"

The emperor laughed a few times, waved his hands, but paused suddenly, and asked in a gentle tone: "It's strange to say. Zitong, do you feel that this Longlin and that young lady from the Lin family... The relationship between the two of them is really too good?"

Hearing this sentence, the queen was taken aback subconsciously, and suddenly looked into the deep eyes of the emperor in front of her. After a long while, she finally found her own voice, smiled and said perfunctorily: "Young lady, it's her own Playmates from small to big, of course they will get used to sticking together, it's not a big deal."

"Oh." The emperor nodded, touched his chin, and wondered if he took his wife's hesitation to heart just now, "But neither of these two girls wants to get married, which is a worrying thing. I heard that Lin Xiangwei I even lost my hair a lot, ouch." The emperor shivered, "It's really scary."

The queen felt a little nervous, she couldn't help lowering her eyes, and comforted her in a warm voice: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Both Tan'er and Miss Na Lin have their own opinions. Maybe not getting married...it's not a bad thing for them."

"Huh? Zitong has thought a lot about it." The emperor glanced at her in surprise, "I heard from Sheng An earlier that you found many portraits of the princes of aristocratic families, and you are trying your best to show Long Lin the marriage. !"

"That... that's all happened before." The queen almost bit her own tongue, and feigned anger in embarrassment, "This Sheng An is such a slob!"

"Hahaha! It's really a mouthful! Don't worry, Zitong, I will deduct his monthly salary later!"

The emperor slapped his thigh happily, narrowed his eyes and smiled for a long time, "Longlin has a great responsibility, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to get her engaged—as long as Zitong can think about it, I'm only afraid of you being in a hurry. "

"No, I won't." The empress had mixed feelings in her heart, she twitched the corners of her lips, "Your concubine is not in a hurry."

"That's good, that's good." The emperor nodded again and again, "It's only later in marriage that you can handle things better, and you live a leisurely life. Isn't that what Concubine Yi is like?" When he said this, he paused for a moment inexplicably. Said in a nostalgic tone, "I think the year she entered the palace is already over."

When Hua Rong was mentioned in this situation, the Empress couldn't help but hold her breath, memories of the past emerged in her mind, and she clenched her palms reflexively.

"Well. Your Majesty is right."

Gu Ying said softly: "The year Ayu entered the palace was the tenth year since we made an appointment to invite the platform..."

At that time, Gu Ying, who married into the East Palace, had become a princess. She needed to fight side by side with Ming Yi from time to time, so she had to take the lead in breaking the contract, and could no longer come to the invitation platform in person. .

However, as the other party who also made the oath, Hua Rong chose not to marry until Ming Yi successfully ascended the throne, and then resolutely entered the palace, held Gu Ying's hand, and told her with a smile——

"Even if Taozhi'er can't invite the platform, so what?"

In the memory, the younger Hua Rong smiled like a flower, her eyes sparkled with starlight, and said softly, "I'll come to see you."

"..."

Memories stop at the smile that was so bright that the world paled in color.

Gu Ying exhaled shallowly, pursed her lips, and sighed deeply in her heart.

The previous generation suffered so much sorrow and regret because of mistakes, and finally got a not-so-happy relationship.

... It's just that they have tasted this suffering, so why let the children go down this old road?

She tightened her fingertips, raised her eyes to look at the thoughtful side face of the emperor, and finally made up her mind secretly.

"His Majesty."

"Huh?" The emperor looked at her suspiciously, "Zitong has something to say, why don't you just say it?"

Gu Ying paused, her voice sounded a bit dry, and she answered slowly after a long time: "I do have something important to discuss with you..."
