Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 234 Ascending the throne to the world (Part )
In 1644 AD, the eighth day of the first lunar month of the Jiashen year of the lunar calendar and the Wooden Monkey year of the Tibetan calendar was a good day for Qintianmon's calculation. According to the calculations of Li Tianjing, the chief eunuch, and Jin Nige, the deputy eunuch, on this day, Doubing Huiyin and Tianwei Jianyuan were in extremely good condition, making it suitable for him to ascend the throne. Sultan also thinks this is a good day, not because he is good at counting, but because he likes the number "eight". The eighth day of the first lunar month means "is going to happen", which is a good sign!
Among the officials under Sultan, those in Qintian Prison were relatively older. Li Tianjing, the supervisor, is 64 years old this year. He used to be in charge of the calendar of the Chongzhen Dynasty. He is a famous Catholic, mathematician, and astronomical calendarer. He just retired from office a few years ago. The reason why he went all the way to Moxi to become an official was because of the influence of his church friend Jinni Ge. Jinnige, with the Chinese character of Si Biao, is extremely Chinese, but he is not a Han Chinese, but a French Jesuit. Because they both believed in Catholicism and compiled the "Chongzhen Almanac" together, the two had a close friendship.

"Chongzhen Almanac" is a work compiled by Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Li Tianjing, Tang Ruowang and others that comprehensively introduces European astronomical knowledge. It includes 46 categories and 137 volumes. The first part is about the calendar, and the later part is about astronomy. The book introduces Copernicus' "On the Revolutions of Celestial Bodies" and clearly introduces the concept of "Earth". In terms of calculation methods, it introduces spherical and plane trigonometry, and in terms of coordinate systems, it introduces the ecliptic coordinate system. It can be described as a scientific masterpiece. It is a pity that it has been compiled for ten years, but due to the interference of the conservative faction and the rampant war, it has never been promulgated.

Disappointed, Jinnige traveled to Moxi and was introduced to Sultan. Sultan regarded it as a treasure, appointed him the deputy of Qin Tianjian, and ordered the promotion of "Chongzhen Almanac" throughout the country. He then recommended his friend Li Tianjing to come to Moxi as an official. Li Tianjing was old and did not want to leave his hometown. However, he could not resist the favor of his friends, and the "Chongzhen Almanac" condensed half of his life's efforts. He heard that Suletan Khan wanted to promote the "Chongzhen Almanac" throughout Huite. I also wanted to take a look, so I came to Moxi.

As soon as he heard that the old man had arrived, Sultan appointed him the post of Qin Tianjianzheng, responsible for the research and promotion of astronomy, calendar and other scientific fields. At various intervals, the Great Khan would still greet him and inquire about his welfare. A scholar died for his confidant, and the old man devoted himself to serving the Great Khan. He took the lead in calculating the eighth auspicious day of the first month of the Jiashen year.

Sultan ordered Batu Hetan, the important minister, to take the lead, assisted by Tiemoer and Liu Haogu, and was ordered to prepare for the establishment of the emperor and the founding of the country. He specifically told three veterans that our Mongolian etiquette was too simple, while the Han etiquette was too complicated. After careful discussion, we came up with a set of enthronement ceremonies that were neither simple nor complicated, showed majesty, and blended Mongolian and Chinese.

This was difficult for the three important ministers. Fortunately, the three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang. They studied all night and finally perfected the enthronement ceremony in the shortest time.

Many things look easy, but are actually extremely complicated, such as rehearsing etiquette. Just one carved seal is busy enough. Liu Haogu told the Great Khan that there were twenty-four statutory seals of the Ming Dynasty. The Great Khan shouted with all his strength, "I also want to engrave twenty-four seals, and they must not be less than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" So he carved a lot of them, such as "the treasure of imperial edicts" and "the treasure of imperial orders". According to the rules of the Han people, one has to go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the ancestors. The ancestral temple of the Potala Palace is located in the west hall of the Red Palace. After paying homage to his ancestors seriously, the Great Khan went to the inner palace of the Red Palace and waited silently for the exciting moment to come.

Regardless of whether you are excited or not, what is supposed to come will come sooner or later! Sultan stayed up all night, waiting for the dawn of the eighth day of the first lunar month.

"Great Khan, the auspicious time has come. Please go to the circle to offer sacrifices to the Heaven of Immortality," Batu Hetan respectfully reported. It is necessary for a Mongolian or Han monarch to ascend the throne to make sacrifices to heaven. The king's power is given by heaven, so how can he not make sacrifices?

finally come!

Suletan stood up suddenly and walked out quickly. The royal robe was a bit long and he almost tripped over the hem of the robe. He composed himself and walked out slowly.

"I welcome your Majesty!" Outside the palace gate, Batu and Tan led the ministers to kneel on the ground.

"Get on your feet, you, please come and bathe in the morning sun with me." The Great Khan smiled sweetly, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, he led his ministers slowly towards the circle.

Ceremonial officers, singers and soldiers stood on both sides of the royal road, singing Mongolian hymns:

Great Majesty, noble master,
Welcome to meet the Tengger God.

You have worked hard on your expedition,
Please have a glass of kumiss,

Wash away the dust along the way.

Great Majesty, noble master,
Please look at the beautiful Potala,
There are also cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains.

We offer pure white hada,
Full of loyalty to you.

Great Majesty, noble master,
Hear the song of your servants.

Overflowing with Mongolian enthusiasm,

Wherever your footsteps have passed,
Leave the most brilliant growth rings.

Hearing this, Sultan was moved. Without these simple soldiers and civilians, where would my iron-clad empire be? Therefore, he repeatedly gestured to the crowd with his head, which immediately caused a roar of "Haorui" like a mountain roar and a tsunami. The circle has arrived. Upon seeing the figure of the Great Khan, the Great Shaman Shaobu, wearing a five-pronged antlered hat, a mask, a sacred robe, a waist drum and a bell, began to chant the "Sacrifice Song" in a solemn tone. This song was sung by the shaman when Genghis Khan proclaimed himself khan. All the great Mongol Khans of all dynasties sang this song when they proclaimed themselves khan and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Long life is blue, life is short.

Rivers return to the sea, and the mind is inherently good.

Tigers roared and warriors brandished their swords.

I am young today and will be old tomorrow.

Green algae on the lakeshore gathers money birds.

A gentleman is generous and keeps friends.

Birds and beasts know their species.

People with conscience should love each other.

The golden world has a vast territory.

There is no need to fight against each other and develop independently.

At the source of the Onan River, there is a holy spring.

Our clan is prosperous and our descendants are multiplied.

This song uses a very special singing method that only great shamans can sing. Shaobu's song is very desolate, penetrating the vastness of the universe. The Mongolians present remembered their ancestors with solemn expressions.

After offering sacrifices to Changshengtian, the emperor was elected according to Mongolian rules. After some Mongolian-style "three speeches and three acceptances", the great shaman Shaobu announced loudly: "All Mongolian tribes and the subjects of the world unanimously agreed to establish a new country, and elected Su Letan became the emperor of the new country."

Upon hearing this, the princes, nobles, civil and military officials stepped forward one by one in accordance with the rehearsed order, knelt down and kissed Suletan's toes, and swore allegiance to the emperor.

The country's name is "Wei" in Oirat, and the year's name is "Qianyuan". This has been discussed long ago, but it had to be asked by the great shaman to the Changsheng Heaven and the Four Worlds in order to appear orthodox.

Shaobu beat the drum with his hands, shook the bell, and shouted in the hunting wind: "The heaven and the earth have agreed to establish a new country. I have come to spread the word and give the country the title of 'Wei'; make Sultan the emperor." , was given the year title 'Qianyuan'".

The Oirat Mongolian Huite tribe finally established its country. No one present was excited, and some veterans wept on the spot.

"Haorui!" Someone took the lead and shouted. "Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" Near the circle, the cheers could shake the mountains.
