Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 22: The Ministry of Rites becomes the scapegoat?
Eunuch Gao smiled obsequiously, stretched out his hands to take the banknotes, and while leading the crowd through twists and turns, he put the banknotes into his sleeves unnoticeably.

Ang Lee was amazed by what he saw.

This skill really shows the result of twenty years of hard work!

Li An said that if he didn't have the system space, he wouldn't be able to stop this move.
When Li An and others came to a side hall to wait, they could still vaguely hear some noises coming from the main hall. They thought that the two places were not far away, so when they received the order to go to the hall, it would not take too much time.

"Eunuch Gao, why did you say that we would have to wait for quite a while?"

Facing Li An's inquiry, Gao Zhongxian did not take it lightly. Instead, he looked around and explained in detail: "Your Excellencies, you may not know that the ceremony to be performed in the main hall for His Highness' succession to the throne is complicated and grand, and involves a large number of officials."

"Your Highness is to lead the ministers to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the ancestral temple. This is one of them."

"Your Highness. No, it should be Your Majesty. You must wear your imperial robes and sit in the hall, accept the congratulations and greetings of the civil and military officials, and then establish the distinction between the monarch and his subjects."

"Finally, the accession edict will be issued, and at the same time, the change of era name, general amnesty, and other matters will be announced."

Looking at the nobles who were listening attentively to his story, Gao Zhongxian did not keep them in suspense and said, "This set of procedures took quite a long time, and then it was time to confer titles on the nobles. I heard that this was an extra request from His Majesty, and only after obtaining the Queen Mother's consent could this be done!"

Gao Zhongxian only talked about some of the more critical points in the coronation ceremony, and there were many details that were not explained in detail.

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and war!

Rong refers to weapons and wars, and Si refers to various large-scale activities and ceremonies like today!

Life should have a sense of ritual, and sacrifices should have even more of a sense of ritual. Otherwise, how can we express people's awe and respect for imperial power?

Generally speaking, the emperor's enthronement ceremony is the most grand.

The entire process is filled with ceremonies such as playing music, dancing, ringing bells and drums, and granting banquets. These countless seemingly extravagant ceremonies are made up of something called power!

This is like building a high platform in people's hearts to make the imperial power supreme.

"I see. It seems that the reason we were able to be canonized today is all because of your majesty's love and care."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Gao Zhongxian said with envy and flattery, "According to convention, there is no such last item, which shows that His Majesty likes you ladies very much. But in this case, you noble ladies will have to wait for a while."

"These are nothing, thank you, Eunuch Gao, for clearing up my confusion."

"Your Majesty, your words are too serious."

After Eunuch Gao left the side hall, Li An silently recalled the movies and TV series he had watched in his previous life:
We have already had breakfast here, not to mention waiting in this side hall is nothing.

And what about the civil and military officials in the court?

Most people don’t dare to eat breakfast before going to court!

The coronation ceremony takes quite a long time. If you feel the urge to defecate or pee during the ceremony, it would not look decent and the court officials would not have the courage to do so.

What's more, the whole process is either standing or kneeling, and Li Ang doesn't want to experience it himself anyway.
When the sun gradually moved to the center, Eunuch Gao came in quickly and invited the nobles to go to the main hall - this was the stage for the enthronement ceremony!
When everyone arrived at the main hall, Li An finally saw the interior of this magnificent palace: two columns made of unknown wood served as support. On the columns were carved scenes of coiled dragons flying into the clouds, painted black and decorated with gold patterns.

What’s even more exaggerated is that there are two pools of clear water on both sides of the straight road in front of the door that connects to the front!
Even the straight road under your feet is made of green jade!

The girls walked to the front, where a gorgeous blanket had been laid out. When they stepped on it, it was very soft.
After performing the salute according to the rules, he looked up. The Queen Mother was looming behind layers of veil, while Zhan Doudou was sitting in front of him, winking at Li Ang with a very proud look on his face!
I heard the sound of water, the sound of fish swimming freely above the white sand in the deepest part of the clear water pool, breaking the surface of the water.
Super rich!

This bowl of soft rice is really big and round!
He, Ang Lee, is sure to win!

In the original novel, Zhan Doudou lived through the best period of Da Qi. Generally speaking, the whole country was smooth sailing, with no major natural disasters. The only thing they faced was the "man-made disaster" of Nanqing.
".Confer titles on all concubines, conferring Li An'er the title of Virtuous Consort!"

"Appoint her as a noble concubine!"

"Name her as a talented person!"

".For the noble man!"

A brilliant ride!
Corresponding to court officials, the imperial concubine was of the first rank, and the prefix "德" meant the first rank. As for the other women who were given titles, they were not on the same level as Li An. Even the other three women of commoner origin were only given the title of talented persons, which made Li An, who also came from a commoner family, stand out even more.

The ministers in the audience were all wondering what kind of abilities Li An'er had that he would be treated so differently by His Majesty?
They didn't dare to look closely at the women's appearance, as doing so would be not only impolite but also disrespectful.

As for establishing the queen, it cannot be done today. It will have to wait until Zhan Doudou is firmly seated on the throne and has discussed and played chess with all the civil and military officials in the court before a result can be reached.

During this period, the royal family will examine the virtues of the women in the harem, and at the same time comprehensively consider the backgrounds of each woman, to see who has the destiny and can give birth to a prince for His Majesty, and only then can she be canonized as queen.

Of course, all the ministers in the court would once again propose to His Majesty that he should hold a beauty contest so that the girls from his own families could enter the harem and provide protection for the family.

This is an exchange!
When the enthronement ceremony was about to end, Zhan Doudou was happily preparing to order a banquet for universal celebration, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at this moment!
At the back of the main hall, a minister walked out of the queue, quickly stepped forward, knelt on the floor, and shouted "Long live the emperor". He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have objections to the canonization of the concubines in the Eastern Palace!"

"Stand up and answer."

The little emperor on the dragon throne yawned, his tone seemed a little unfriendly, and he waved his hand to signal the other party to stand up, and asked: "What objection do you have, my dear minister?"

The development of things is always beyond people's expectations.

The entire ceremony went smoothly before this, which made the little emperor relax his vigilance. He thought that the matter of Sean was over, and Uesugi Tiger did not have the courage to make trouble today.

Unexpectedly, he took action regarding the final enthronement of the concubines in the Eastern Palace!

Behind the pearl curtain, the empress dowager turned around upon seeing this sudden change, and seemed to be watching the reaction of a lone figure on the side of the stage.

This lonely figure is Sean’s brother—Zhuang Mohan!

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report! The matter of conferring titles on the concubines is a major national event. Even the Queen Mother came from the harem! Our Great Qi is the orthodox power in the world. This move not only concerns the well-being of all the people in the world, but also serves as a model for other countries!"

"This matter is complicated and involves a lot of things. We must not be careless and must not rush for success!"

"And today, Your Majesty acted so impulsively and conferred titles on four peasant girls as Consorts of Virtue and Talented Women. This was really inappropriate. I, the Minister of Rites, impeached the Ministry of Rites and allowed such an absurd proposal to be passed. They are truly culpable and guilty of a heinous crime!"

This person spoke with disdain and a stinky face, catching the Ministry of Rites off guard.

How come this matter is blamed on them?
If it weren't for the instructions of His Majesty and the approval of the Queen Mother, how dare they do anything?

They are not to blame for this!
