Han emperor system

Chapter 193 Enthronement Ceremony (Part [-])
These stone bridges are not parallel, but present a circular arc shape, all facing the wide passage leading to the Qianqiu Long Live Hall. Many officials usually pass through the eight stone bridges and focus on the square.

The civil and military officials below the third rank stayed on the square. They were not qualified to enter the main hall to face the saint directly, so they stood quietly in their positions one by one, looking at the people who were entering the Qianqiu Long Live Hall. His important ministers were filled with fiery impulses.

And those high-ranking ministers above the third grade who strolled through the square passage directly into the main hall, all of them had serious expressions on their faces, held their heads high and their feet high, and under the envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding officials, they stepped on the passage lightly and stepped onto the road. The white marble steps entered the main hall, the core of power of the entire Han Dynasty, and were divided into civil and military according to their respective positions.

A line of military commanders is naturally headed by General He Jin, followed by General Yuan Kui, General He Miao of Chariots, General Dong Zhong of Hussars, Captain Gai Xun of Qulu, Captain Ma Rixun of Shesheng, Captain Yuan Shao of Sili, Lieutenant Cao Cao of Dianjun, General Yuan Shu of Huben Zhonglang and others, followed by Wu Kuang, Marquis of the Northern Army, Zhang Zhang, Marquis of the Southern Army, Wang Kuang, Captain of the Weiying, Bao Xin, Captain of the Cavalry, Zhang Liao, Wu Fu, etc. , Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chun Yuqiong and others.

The civil servants are headed by the Sangong, Situ Chenyan, Taiwei Zhang Wen, Guangluxun Liu Hong, Sikong Dinggong, Admonisher Liu Tao, Shangshu Lu Zhi, Tingwei Cui Lie, Yongle Shaofu Fanling, Dawei Sinong Cao Song, Henan Yin Xuxiang, Taichang Wang Yun, Yilang Xunyou, etc., in addition to a group of officials from the Prince's East Palace such as Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia.

In the side hall next to the Qianqiu Longsui Palace, the palace band drumming together, three cannons were fired outside the Suzaku Gate, and the bells on the watchtower were ringing. The whole Luoyang city was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere, and the sun suddenly rose on the top of Dongshan Mountain. , radiating ten thousand rays of light, reflecting the entire Qianqiu Long Live Palace in a golden and green brilliance, countless people in Luoyang City looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, and their hearts seemed to brighten up.

"The auspicious time has come, invite the new emperor to ascend the throne."

The voice of the master of ceremonies rang out when all the people were silent, and all the ministers inside and outside the Qianqiu Long Live Hall looked solemnly in one direction, which was the tall Golden Luan Hall.

At this moment, on the Golden Luan Hall of the Qianqiu Long Live Hall, a golden dragon chair stands tall, and a huge golden dragon hovers on the back of the chair, symbolizing the emperor's supreme power status, revealing infinite majesty.

And behind the dragon chair, there is a jade curtain with a soft chair inside, but it was prepared by the Queen Mother, because His Royal Highness is only 14 years old, and he is not capable of handling political affairs by himself, or is he still Incapable of suppressing the ministers, so Empress Dowager He needs to be in charge to deter the ministers.

With the singing of the master of ceremonies, in the expectant eyes of the ministers, Liu Bian was dressed in a golden robe of Kowloon Kaitai, wearing a crown of Kowloon facing the sky, wearing Kowloon Qifei flying boots, and holding a golden three-foot With long and short scepters, he walked out from the palace gate at the back door of the main hall in high spirits. The back of the long dragon robe was dragged far away. Two handsome maids followed behind, holding the dragon robe with their hands. The eunuch followed closely with his fly whisk in his hand, and walked slowly up the Golden Luan Hall to the side of the dragon chair.

At the same time, between the jade curtains behind the dragon chair, there was a crisp sound of wearing rings, but it was Empress Dowager He who appeared accompanied by several court ladies.Through the jade curtain, one can vaguely see the Empress Dowager He in palace attire, a phoenix robe, a phoenix crown, and a head full of pearls and emeralds, which looks extremely precious.

Standing in front of the dragon chair, Liu Bian did not sit down immediately, but turned back. From his position, he could clearly see the scene of Queen Mother He behind the jade curtain. He seemed very happy, sitting upright on the soft chair, drinking the imperial dragon well tea handed over by the maid.

"The queen mother is well."

Liu Bian bowed slightly, and greeted softly into the jade curtain. All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also knew that the Empress Dowager He was going to attend the court to cheer for the young emperor, so no one raised any objections.

"Everything is ready in this palace, the new emperor sits on the dragon chair, and the ceremony begins."

Empress Dowager He's voice came clearly. Although it was full of the gentleness and softness of Wu Nong's soft words, none of the civil and military officials thought it was pleasant to hear, because the voice was full of infinite majesty, and all the officials lowered their voices after hearing it. With his head down, he stood respectfully at the foot of the steps, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

After receiving the instructions from the Empress Dowager He, the emcee and eunuch quickly cheered up and stood on the facing balcony of the Qianqiu Long Live Hall and shouted sharply: "The auspicious time has come, the new emperor is enthroned, and all the officials pay homage to—"

Following the singing of the eunuch of ceremonies, Liu Bian shook his dragon robe and sat down steadily. The sound of the dragon chant, and then a golden light flashed faintly on Liu Bian's body. In the light, several golden dragons circled around his body, and finally soared into the sky, piercing through the Hall of Long Lives sky.

"Yan—"

Not only the officials in the main hall saw this strange phenomenon, but hundreds of officials of all sizes on the square outside the Qianqiu Long Live Hall all saw the phantom of a golden dragon rushing out from the top of the hall, circling and roaring around the hall, The sound of the dragon's chant resounding through the heavens and the earth lasted for more than ten breaths before it slowly disappeared, which shocked all the officials.

When the sound of the dragon's chant sounded, all the common people in the whole city of Luoyang who looked at the imperial palace also saw the strange appearance above the imperial palace. The figure of the golden dragon penetrated into the hearts of the common people like the power of the sky, but they were not shocked. Some of them are all convinced. They believe that His Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor of the Real Dragon, and the appearance of the real dragon at today's enthronement ceremony naturally explains everything.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

I don't know which one of the ministers was the first to wake up, and immediately knelt down and worshiped loudly, which immediately woke up everyone. The ministers were so shocked that they couldn't care less about what they saw before them, and knelt down one after another. shouted.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Following the voices of the civil and military officials in the main hall, the shocked ministers in the square outside also came to their senses one after another. They all knelt down in awe and roared loudly.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Immediately afterwards, the guards, Imperial Guards, officers and men of the Habayashi Army, court ladies, and eunuchs in the entire palace also saw the strange phenomenon happening above the Qianqiu Long Live Hall at close range, so they followed the civil and military ministers' bowing, regardless of what they were doing. What, they also knelt down at the same time, and each of them made a congratulatory voice in reverence.
