Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435 Sixteen Years, Crowning Ceremony, Word Dragon Picture, Marquis Jueming!
The third year of Guangxi, also known as the first year of Chuping.

July seventeenth.

On this day, the weather was fine, the fog in the morning cleared, and the rising sun was glowing. The rays of the rising sun reflected the east gate of Luoyang.And at the west gate of Luoyang, the main force of the Xiliang army also slowly pressed up, and the army pressed up like a wolf like a tiger.

Facing the pincer attack from the east and west forces, Luoyang City suddenly felt like a storm was about to come.

However, at this moment in Luoyang City, the atmosphere is indeed festive.

Clang, clang! ! !Clang, clang! ! !Clang, clang! ! ! !

This is the ringing of the bell from inside the palace city, the bell is very loud, long and short in the sky of Luoyang City, and the echoes are like waves on the sea.

"Nine bells ring, Taimiao welcomes guests!"

Under the east gate of Luoyang, among the allied forces, Yuan Shao raised his head, looked at Luoyang City, squinted his eyes, and said sarcastically: "He wants to wear the crown in the Taimiao, which is the imperial family's ancestral temple. Is it a relative?"

"The position of Mushan Xiangguo did not come rightly, which can be questioned, but he was the Marquis of Ming Dynasty before his death. This title was conferred by His Majesty Ling Emperor, and it is recognized by the whole world. , inherited from generation to generation, after Mujing wears the crown, he can inherit the title, and it is all right for him to choose to wear the crown in the Taimiao!" Cao Cao said calmly without too much grievance.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the surname of Liu is not the title of king.

The first-class marquis is the pinnacle of the title and has the status of relatives of the emperor.

Originally, the crowning ceremony had to be held in the clan temple, but the Mu clan's ancestral temple is far away in Nanyang, and it is reasonable to choose to hold it in the Taimiao in the capital where the Mujing ceremony is held today.

The most important thing is that this title was awarded by Emperor Han Ling himself.

The degree of recognition in the world is not the same between Hanling Emperor and Young Emperor. The Young Emperor is Mushan who supports the superior. Although it is justified, but among the people in the world, he is undoubtedly the emperor of puppet. His rewards are acceptable. It makes sense not to recognize it, but Han Lingdi is different. Once his imperial decree is issued, it cannot be changed. Denying this award is tantamount to denying the Han court.

"When do we attack?"

Yuan Shu said coldly.

"Not urgent!"

Yuan Shao shook his head: "The Xiliang army didn't move at all. If we move too early, we will undoubtedly give them a chance to profit. Luoyang must fight, but it may not be us who take the initiative to fight!"

Mu Jing was already unable to fly.

What he thinks more now is how to bring the main force of the Jizhou Army under his command.

After several battles, the Jizhou army suffered a lot of casualties, and Han Fu suffered repeated blows and was also depressed. This is a good time for him to seize power. The longer the battle in Luoyang is delayed, the more favorable he will be.

……

Luoyang West City has two city gates, the Upper West Gate and the Guangyang Gate.

Beyond the upper west gate, the Xiliang army lined up.

"My lord, the palace bell is ringing nine times, and the Taimiao is welcoming guests!" Li Ru stood beside Dong Zhuo, bowed and said, "Mu Jing is going to wear a crown in the Taimiao!"

"Ancestral Temple?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes were like tigers and wolves, staring at Luoyang City: "He is quite courageous!"

He thought for a while and said, "If we attack now, can we catch them by surprise!"

After killing Mu Jing's father, if anyone wants to let Mu Jing leave Luoyang alive, it is Dong Zhuo.

So he could stand on the mountain and watch tigers fight, but he still led his troops to Luoyang. Even if he had the slightest chance, he didn't want to leave it to Mujing. He had to kill this person himself so that he could eat and sleep well. .

"I'm afraid there is no chance!"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "My lord, whoever strikes first at this time will suffer. Don't forget, there is the Kanto Alliance Army on the opposite side. Although we sent troops to fight against the herdsmen, we may not be taken over by the Kanto Alliance. The most important thing Yes, if we hold the emperor hostage now, they will definitely let us hand over the emperor, and they may turn against us in the end!"

"Then wait!"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath: "Feng Xian!"

"exist!"

Lu Bu came up with his halberd in his hand, and stood by with his hands folded.

"Release all the cavalry scouts!"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "I want all the roads in the west to be blocked, and we must not leave any chance for Mujing to break through from the west."

"promise!"

Lu Bu took the order.

……

……

Taimiao.

The spiritual tablets and portraits of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty are enshrined here, and there are ever-burning lamps. It has always been under the management of the clan mansion, but now the people of the clan mansion have been kidnapped and moved south.

However, after cleaning, the Taimiao is still the Taimiao, a temple dedicated to ancestors, filled with the scent of sandalwood all year round, always carrying a solemn atmosphere.

Today is the day of Mujing's coronation.

The crowning ceremony is held in the Taimiao.

The crowning ceremony is a very solemn etiquette in this era.

The process is cumbersome.

First, divining the day, admonishing (telling) the guest, divining the guest, staying (inviting) the guest, and praising the crown.In fact, it is the preparatory work ahead, choosing a date, inviting guests and so on.

Second, for a period.It means to determine the date of coronation.

Third, the crown day furnishes the server, the master and the following ascend the throne.To sum it up in one sentence, arrange the crowning scene.

Fourth, those who welcome and praise the crown enter.The elders and assistants who presided over the coronation ceremony entered the arena.

Fifth, start adding, add, and add three times.This is the most cumbersome, but also the core.

Sixth, the crown of wine and wine.After wearing the crown, there is a toasting ceremony.

Seventh, the crown sees the mother.After crowning, go to see your mother and pay homage to your mother.

Eighth, the guest word crown.The respected elders take a word for the crowned ones.

Ninth, the champion sees brothers, admirers, aunts, kings, doctors, and Mr. Xiang.

Tenth, Libin, sending guests back to Zu.

So far, the crowning ceremony is over.

Although the process is complicated, it presents the etiquette of this era.

However, Mujing's coronation ceremony is a bit special. Being held amidst heavy siege is a big test in itself. In addition, the Mu clan has been killed seven or eight times, and both parents have died, so some procedures can be saved. Saved.

In front of the temple, soldiers will gather and line up left and right.

Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, Huang Shao, Zhao Ping, Cheng Luo, Zhang Gu, Lei Hu, Chen Dao, Zhang Liao, Li Yan, Huo Yu, Huo Shao... nearly a hundred people, all of them are generals of the Mu family. Will be the witness guests of this crowning ceremony.

"It's two o'clock!"

Today, the one who presided over the ceremony of wearing the crown for Mu Jing is Cai Yong, who is the only elder of Mu Jing among the scholars today. He is wearing a black court dress and a scholar's crown. He stands on the imperial temple with a solemn expression and a hoarse voice. : "The auspicious time has come, those who wear the crown, the descendants of the Mu family, Jing!"

"Descendants of the Mu family, Jing, please enter the ancestral temple!"

Next to him is Hu Zhao, the crown praiser of this time.

Hu Zhao is also one of the great Confucian scholars in the contemporary scholarly circle. Although his reputation is not as good as that of Cai Yong, he is enough to be a champion.

The so-called champion is the assistant of the crowned host.

Mu Jingyi wore a plain white robe with disheveled hair. He was wearing a boy's suit, not the clothes before the crown ceremony. His hair was disheveled and he was waiting for a bun. He walked up the steps step by step, and then knelt down in front of Cai Yong: "The descendants of the Mu family, Jing, are sixteen years old!"

"The champion will be added!"

Cai Yong's deep voice sounded.

Hu Zhao knelt and passed by, making a bun for Mujing, and someone next to him had already handed over the crown gift, a scarf, a deep coat, a large belt, and shoes, these were the first things he added, and he brought them one by one for Mujing .

"The winner is joining!"

Another four-piece suit, hat, shirt, leather belt, and shoes.

"Three bonuses for the champion!"

This is the last item of the final crown uniform, the Futou, the official uniform, the belt, and the boots.

Mu Jing got up, at this moment, he was wearing a crown suit and a crown on his head, bowed to all the guests around him, and then everyone around returned the salute.

The ceremony is complete.

It's time to fetch words.

Mu Jing has characters, but before reaching the crown, his characters are not dignified characters, but his name of Mulongtu has been spread all over the world, and his characters are not easy to change, so Cai Yong chose the characters only as an elder , give this word only once.

The process is also very simple.

The process of the crowning ceremony is basically over here, and the next step is to set up a banquet, see off guests, and so on.

But today it is destined to be impossible to do these things.

Today is the day of Mujing's coronation, and it will also be the day of Mujing's breakthrough.

But they still have a process at the end.

Inherited the title of Marquis of Ming Dynasty.

Marquis of Ming Dynasty, first-class Marquis, awarded by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, enshrined in the book of the Han Dynasty, bestowed python robes, gold seals and purple ribbons, is the most sought-after title in today's world.

Mu Jing knelt and sat in front of Cai Yong.

Cai Yong is standing, and there are two people on his left and right, with one hand holding the python robe and the other holding the golden seal.

"Mu's Longtu, would you like the title of stepfather?" Cai Yong asked calmly.

"willing!"

Mu Jing replied in a deep voice.

"The ancestors of the Han Dynasty, please bless them. Today there is the Dragon Picture of the Mu Clan, young heroes, literary and martial arts...inheriting the title of my father, fulfilling my father's last wish, protecting the integrity of my great man, and the peace of the country... "

Cai Yong bestowed the boa robe.

Mu Jing changed on the spot.

Then give a golden seal as the symbol of Minghou.

At this time, the seal is a representative of a person, and the seal of Minghou is the representative of Minghou. These seals are unique. If someone uses them falsely, it will be a serious crime to punish the nine clans in terms of Han law.

"We will pay homage to the king!"

All the generals knelt on one knee on the left and right, and bowed to Mu Jing who had inherited the title.

Li Cheng.

Starting today, the Mu family, Jing, and the word Longtu are the Marquis of Ming Dynasty.
