Bad people: who is not a descendant of Li Tang

Chapter 257 Longevity and Prosperity
The next day is May [-]th.

According to the Ministry of Rites, today is a good day for breaking ground, getting married, traveling, moving...

In short, everything is fine.

And again, today the wind is calm and the weather is clear, and the sun is rising.

The entire city of Luoyang and the entire Guanzhong were completely enveloped in a solemn atmosphere today.

Just like the Tai Chi Hall in the Imperial City, there are people inside and outside the hall at this moment.It was crowded, and there were people everywhere wearing purple official uniforms made in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone looked solemn and meticulous.

Rows of bronze chimes were placed on both sides of the long and wide street, and were controlled by dedicated etiquette officials. All of them stared straight ahead.

Although the Tang Dynasty was cut off by Zhu Wen for many years, the etiquette and law still existed, and it was not to the extent that the etiquette and music collapsed in the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Therefore, the entire enthronement process was customized by a dedicated person from the Ministry of Etiquette.

Today, only Li Jing can do whatever he wants, while everyone else can only become a running machine step by step.

Everyone was looking intently, looking at the eyes, nose and heart, quietly feeling the rising sun, spreading its warm sunlight on the ground.

At this time, the sound of bells and drums sounded loudly with a simple, heavy and solemn momentum.

Then, several tall tiger warriors wearing iron armor quickly stepped forward, and under the gaze of thousands of people, they opened the palace door of Tai Chi Palace.

The chariot pulled by six black divine horses stopped steadily outside the palace gate, and everyone looked over.

The person driving the car was none other than Li Jing's personal bodyguard Kui Mu. He was all dressed in a dark red Feiyu suit. After he stopped the car steadily, he got down and stood beside the chariot.

Li Jing sat steadily on the imperial chariot, listening to the grand "Shao music" outside the hall. Through the gap in his crown, he could see in the square outside the hall, there were shirtless people holding shields and axes. The strong man is dancing.

The crown robe he wears fits very well. The empress asked several people from the previous palace clothing bureau to customize it.

The blue and black color actually complimented his temperament.

As soon as he got out of the car, it was as if all the sights and sounds in the world were gone away from him in an instant.

At this moment, the glazed crown swayed slightly in front of his forehead as he moved forward.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were originally behind the chariot now stopped outside the palace gate and stood bowed, forming a background wall for Li Jing.

From the sight of Li Jing, in the corner of his eye, he could see a crowd of civil servants and military officers in solemn attire, all holding wat boards. They followed Li Jing's figure forward, and then slowly bowed and turned around.

Inside the entire palace gate and outside the main hall, only the sound of chimes and drums echoed rhythmically.

Among thousands of people, only Li Jing was walking around.

Looking down from above, all we can see is Li Jing's slender black figure walking slowly and calmly towards the Tai Chi Hall on the long path of jade and white stone bricks.

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, there were several women dressed in grand costumes, swinging their long sleeves and dancing a dance that Li Jing could not understand. They looked extremely sacred.

But just after Li Jing walked up the Yunlong stone steps, these women lined up in two rows, bowed their waists and retreated.

In the main hall, there were already civil and military officials in crimson official robes standing on both sides.

So, with her back lifted, Li Jing stepped over the steps and walked towards the throne in the palace.

"Ding...dang...dong..."

The regular and extremely heavy music was still ringing, making Li Jing, who was still a little indifferent at first, become more solemn as he walked towards the throne.

At this moment, his hands were subconsciously placed on his belt. From the corner of his eye, he could see everyone lowering their heads slightly, as if no matter what he was going to do, no one could notice.

But he gradually became immersed in the power that was about to be in his hands.His steps were very steady, and the crown in front of his forehead didn't even move much. When he stepped onto the throne, he did not directly sit on the throne that he had seen many times before, but looked at it silently. meeting.

No one raised their heads. They might have doubts or be a little curious, but all of them kept their heads down and stood quietly.

Finally, Li Jing let out a slight breath, then gently smoothed the sleeves of her robe, then turned to face the main hall, put her hands on the armrests on both sides, and sat down.

His eyes first saw a jade seal on the imperial case from the slightly swaying crown, and then he looked at the hundreds of ministers above the main hall. Outside the main hall, there were overlapping and dense figures.

At this time, the ministers who were bowing their heads below suddenly knelt on the ground at the same time, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and then shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, live forever!"

Outside the wide open palace door, thousands of figures outside knelt down neatly in front of Li Jing's sight, and then more voices were heard.

"Long live, long live, long live your Majesty..."

These sounds floated between heaven and earth, above the magnificent imperial city for a long time, and spread outward.

The original sound of bells and drums also gradually stopped.

Li Jing's originally calm heart suddenly became agitated at this moment, but his expression was only indifferent. He suppressed his emotions, only slowed down his speaking speed, and spoke out.

"My dear dears, please stay safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As if they had just rehearsed, everyone stood up neatly, then bowed and stood in place holding the wat board.

They could not and did not dare to look at Li Jing, but Li Jing, who was sitting on the throne, could clearly see the expressions of all of them. He could even look out through the palace door, see the palace walls, and see the entire palace. .

"The late Emperor Zhaozong..."

After everyone stood up, a civil servant came out, holding a volume of edict in his hand, and began to read it loudly.

Li Jing recognized this person as the Minister of Rites who accepted his fate when he was still supervising the country for the King of Qin.

In fact, he recognized almost everyone in this palace. Basically, everyone was promoted by him personally. It was not the time when Feng Xiang was there, when he couldn't even recognize the officials.

Feng Dao stood in the third row of civil servants. He had been promoted from a white body to 25 levels in a row, and now he was a doctor of imperial history and a doctor of Qingguanglu.

His existence is not only the expression of Li Jing's love for talents, but also the representative of buying bones for a lot of money.

But in short, the civil and military officials in the palace are all serious Tang officials now, and there is no distinction between King Qin and King Qi.

After the Minister of Rites finished reading, another eunuch wearing a robe and a futou bowed out. First he saw Li Jing nodding, and then he showed a bright yellow imperial edict.

"The imperial edict said..."

The previous edicts read by the Minister of Rites were nothing more than commemorating Zhaozong's achievements, clarifying the legitimacy of Li Jing's accession to the throne, and so on.

The edict read by the eunuch was drafted by Li Jing himself, and he personally stamped it with the seal of "I have been ordered by heaven, and I will live forever".

The content above is to increase officials and ranks, amnesty the world, and reduce taxes for one year...

This edict is the real evidence of the beginning of the new dynasty. Although it can only be delivered within this main hall for the time being, from now on, it will be quickly spread to the world through newspapers, oral transmission and other methods. out.

The place where the decree is passed on is the place where Li Jing's imperial power reaches.
