Chapter 17 Succession to the Emperor

The next day.

The early morning light shone down slightly, like strips of golden whip whipping through the cracks in the window.

It also awakens the sleeping Wang Sheng.

Opening his eyes, Wang Sheng found that things were not that simple.

First of all, he is not in the study, but on the bed.

Secondly.

He felt someone beside him.

Touch it...

It feels good in the hand, and the QQ is bouncy, like some kind of spherical thing.

He turned his head to the right and found that his hand was on Hong Xiu.

Turning his head, he discovered Lu Zhu's face.

Her dark eyebrows are blooming across the distance, and her green temples are thickly stained by the spring smoke.

The beautiful green eyebrows were lightly frowned, sweeping out a slight worry on her delicate face, as if she had dreamed of bad things in her sleep, which added to her surprisingly beautiful appearance.

Pityful heartbeat.

I don't know whether Wang Sheng had been staring at him for a long time or Wang Sheng had already started to move his hands up and down. A touch of pink appeared on the latter's face and he reluctantly opened his eyes.

Her green skin is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks around, she has a certain elegant and noble temperament that makes people attracted by her. She feels ashamed and dare not blaspheme. But there is something seductive in her cold and arrogant agility.

And it makes people unable to help but be haunted.

In addition, her cheeks were red at this time, and she looked like she was ready to take whatever you wanted.

There is a saying that if you die under peonies, you will be a ghost and you will be romantic.

It is not without reason that this green bead can fascinate Shi Chong to death.

"You are so brave. You took me to bed and carried me to the bed, and you actually did such a thing."

"Slave..."

Luzhu's cheeks turned red even more.

What happened last night can definitely be said to be the most shameful thing in her life.

"No need to say more, just serve me and get up."

Wang Sheng slowly got up from the quilt. I have to say that the feeling of getting out of the quilt naked in the winter morning was really a bit exciting.

Wang Sheng got up from the bed.

Tongnu Hongxiu was also awakened immediately. She put on a thick coat and the three girls began to arrange Wang Sheng's clothes.

today.

Civil and military officials will send Sima Zhong's body to the funeral palace outside the city.

Tomorrow will be the drama of the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

It just so happens that tomorrow is an auspicious day.

The crown prince's ascension to the throne is something that all the officials are eagerly looking forward to. The reason is very simple. Only when the prince succeeds to the throne can the officials receive rewards.

Although a reward like Jinguyuan is valuable, in the hearts of more people, what they want is an official position and a title.

The same is true for Wang Sheng.

Only with an official title can one have the right to speak in the court, and only then can someone truly rely on him as a supporter.

In other words, only Wang Sheng can gather his subordinates.

Just look at Wang Sheng’s current team.

There is basically no talent.

Liu Yong just needs to train again so that he can become a general in the future, and that’s the end of it.

Zhao Meng's qualifications may be better, but he is probably only a top-notch general, and he may not be able to lead an army alone in the future.

Until now, no scholar wants to rely on Wang Sheng.

Knowledge changes destiny, but nothing can be accomplished with nothing but brute force.

Wang Sheng is in urgent need of talents.

And being knighted can make Wang Sheng more attractive and attract more talented people.

Whether he is a scholar or a military commander.

With Wang Sheng's current status, not to mention general, if he wants a captain to follow him, I'm afraid that captain will not agree.

You are neither a high-ranking person nor a high-ranking noble. How can you be my boss?

This world is still very realistic.

Wearing a red official robe with a black plain coat on top, Wang Sheng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his outfit.

"You go back and rest."

Wang Sheng was not in a daze in the study last night.

If Wang Sheng still can't wake up after being manipulated like this by these three guys, then something is really wrong.

The so-called lying down and enjoying it saves effort.

I just have some pain in my kidneys, but nothing else.

It's a winter morning and it's still dark.

The misty white mist mixed with the dark night, and there was a bitter cold coming up from the bottom of the feet, making people shiver unconsciously.

Everything in Jingu Garden was completely silent. Even the withered grass was covered with a layer of frost. The ponds and lakes passing by also had a thin layer of ice on them.

It's going to snow.

Wang Sheng sighed in his heart.

The coldest time of the day is at this time.

With yesterday's lesson learned, Wang Sheng had a full meal in Jinguyuan this time, so he took the carriage in Jinguyuan and headed towards Luoyang City.

The dark morning was very quiet.

Perhaps only the barking of dogs and the crow of cocks can prove that this is a living world.

The world of dignitaries is always rich and colorful.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This year's winter has been pretty good.

It's the beginning of winter and it hasn't snowed yet, but the people who don't even have any clothes to go out can't stand the cold.

The national fortunes in the fifty years of the Western Jin Dynasty can be called a prosperous period, and it would be good to have only one year.

The wheels rolled by, and when Wang Sheng arrived at the palace, the sky was already getting brighter.

After getting off the carriage, Wang Sheng met an acquaintance.

Prince Xian Ma Jiangtong.

"Brother Ying Yuan."

From afar, Wang Sheng greeted Jiang Tong.

"Xiao Langjun."

Jiang Tong's outfit is no different from Wang Sheng's. Of course, Jiang Tong is more plump than Wang Sheng.

"I didn't expect to see brother Ying Yuan at the door, fellow Taoist."

Wang Sheng made an inviting gesture to Jiang Tong.

"please."

The two went hand in hand.

"When will the prince succeed to the throne?"

A country cannot live without a king for a day, and the world has been without a king for three days.

A large number of memorials were piled up on the Chancellor's desk and could not be reviewed.

Although Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty was also a fool and did not review the memorials, after all, there was still someone like Jia Nanfeng who reviewed the memorials with a stick.

Now these people are all in trouble for Sima Yu.

There are plenty of seats in the imperial court, but no one is taking them.

"tomorrow."

This is not considered confidential information. Jiang Tong does not know because Jiang Tong is not a core member of the prince.

"tomorrow?"

Jiang Tong was slightly happy.

"After tomorrow, I don't know how to call you, Xiaolangjun."

Wang Sheng laughed and said, "Let's call him young man."

"How to save this?"

Jiang Tong rolled his eyes slightly and said, "My husband should also choose a cousin. Why don't I choose one for you? What do you think?"

Most of Jiang Tong's jokes are jokes.

"Which word do you think is better?"

"Mr. Lang is both talented and virtuous, and he has the qualities of a jade tree and a wind. I don't dare to go there with this cousin. Maybe I can go and ask for it from His Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor's imperial connotation...

This honor is much greater than a knighthood.

"Brother Ying Yuan is joking."

The two of them were still talking and laughing in the corridor, but once they got out of the corridor, they fell silent.

Sending Sima Zhong's body out of the palace is not something that can be talked about and laughed at.

If he were caught by someone who wanted to do it, given Wang Sheng's current status, although he wouldn't die, he would definitely be in trouble.

When they arrived at the Taiji Hall, Wang Sheng stood quietly, and Jiang Tong was in front of Wang Sheng.

After most of the people arrived, mournful music started to play, followed by the sound of crying souls. Then, strong men in red carried Sima Zhong's body and slowly left the palace.

There is a straight path from Tai Chi Hall to the outside of the palace, no turning required.

The prince was holding the soul-inducing flag in front of Sima Zhong Lingjia, and the clan members were behind him. After that, there were all the officials and ministers. With Wang Sheng's current status, he was still in the back position among the ministers.

After that, Sima Zhong's body was sent to the funeral palace outside the city.

It was extremely solemn along the way, and even more solemn at the beginning of winter.

The journey from the inside to the outside of the city, less than ten miles, took three hours.

The sky has gone from being dim and bright to bright and clear now.

The sun is high in the sky.

It's just that the sunlight shining down doesn't seem very hot.

After Sima Zhong's body was placed, the prince and his clan officials kept vigil at the funeral palace.

When it was almost dark, the ministers would keep watch in batches.

At this time, Wang Sheng no longer has to stay in the funeral palace.

But Wang Sheng did not return to Jingu Garden.

Instead, he returned to the palace with the prince.

Sima Zhong's body came out of the Tai Chi Hall. Even though it was decorated by the palace maids and eunuchs, it only took half a day to make it feel less depressed and full of vitality.

This was in preparation for Sima Yu's enthronement ceremony.

The reason why Wang Sheng stayed in the palace was to discuss the enthronement ceremony with the prince.

but...

Regarding the enthronement ceremony, Wang Sheng also did not understand the etiquette system.

Rather than saying that the prince asked him to discuss the enthronement ceremony, it is better to say that Sima Yu gilded Wang Sheng and got to know Sima Yu's core ministers and clan relatives.

Dali Temple was responsible for the entire enthronement ceremony, and among the clan members, Pingyuan King Sima Qian took the lead.

Where is Wang Sheng...

Watch the excitement.

This busy work lasted until late at night.

I dozed for three hours in the palace and got up early the next morning.

After that, Wang Sheng got busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Although Wang Sheng didn't understand things, he was still able to do errands.

At about the same time, Wang Sheng was also among the ministers.

Originally, Wang Sheng only wanted to participate in this enthronement ceremony.

As a result, now I am the one who prepares.

On the contrary, Sima Yu, as the rightful leader, had nothing to do.

but...

After all, it is a good thing for the prince to ascend the throne.

Wang Sheng waited quietly.

Soon, Sima Yu came out.

Sima Yu was wearing a dragon robe, but he had a serious smile on his face.

Sima Zhong is dead, but it is not in line with etiquette for him to laugh at this time.

Then, the elegant music started.

Sima Qian, king of Pingyuan, held a bamboo slip in his hand and sang loudly:

The destiny is Jin, and Mu Mu is clear. I have been working hard for the gods. I always use it during the holidays, and use it to achieve success. I recommend Xuanmu, and sacrifice it in the evening. I worship virtue and have fun, and the gods listen.

This is a song for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth at night in the five suburbs.

After the evening sacrifice song in the five suburbs of heaven and earth was completed, Sima Qian sang again and said:

Xuanwen is prosperous, and the sun is calm in all directions. Keep your words to protect it, and you will be safe day and night. God is the emperor in the light of heaven's destiny. Jiale is recommended by Yin, Lingzuo and Jingxiang. The gods send leave, and you enjoy boundless blessings.

This is a sacred song to welcome and send off the five suburbs of heaven and earth.

After a short pause, Pingyuan King loudly sang the song of the Five Suburbs of Heaven and Earth:

Tianzuo has the Jin Dynasty, and his life is new. He is the successor of the Wei Dynasty, and there are Li people on the verge of death. The Yan Dynasty and the emperor of heaven, Huaihe and hundreds of gods. Pi shows his heroic legacy, and his virtue is pure. He enjoys his Xuanmu, and his style is used to lead to Ti. The gods come to pattern. , Fulu is the ultimate.

When the time comes, he is the son of Emperor Hao. He enjoys the Jin Dynasty and the common people wear it. He is afraid of the power of heaven and respects the people. , but the Qi of Jin Dynasty.

Xuan Wen Wei is the queen, and he will be worthy of the world. He will bring peace to the whole world and maintain a prosperous life. In Jixi, he will use it to appease the people. He will establish laws and regulations, and he will cultivate etiquette. To serve the people, don't steal capital from the beginning. To defeat Changjue Later, I will always protect you.

Then sing the evening sacrifice song in the Mingtang in the suburbs of heaven and earth:

The emperor has the Jin Dynasty, and his virtues are great at that time. He is finally received by heaven, and the light is beneficial to all nations. Now that all nations have light, the gods are determined and auspicious. They worship in the suburbs, and only serve the emperor. Only serve the emperor, and all blessings are achieved. The lofty ancestors test, Kepei In that day, there will be good sacrifices and banditry, and virtues and kindness will only be enjoyed. With the blessing of heaven, it will be transformed into gods in all directions.

After that, there is the seduce song of Tiandijiao Mingtang.

In the Jin Dynasty, Yingtian Jingxiang. The two emperors have great virtues and declare this important honor. Our emperor was ordered to be dying. We worshiped in the suburbs and enjoyed the rituals and music. The gods celebrated and the ancestors knew who was the emperor. After Kechang, Protect without borders.

Tianjiao Food Song:

The whole altar is dedicated to the emperor. The essence is felt, and hundreds of spirits are present. It is filled with vermilion fire and fragrant. Purple smoke swims, crowned by blue clouds. The body of the god is overwhelming and pictographic. It is spacious and quiet, and the scenery is clear. When the god comes, the scenery Zhao. Hearing nothing, seeing no sign. When the god comes, he raises his voice. The spirit is refreshing and harmonious, moving the rest of the heart. The god is sitting, enjoying together. The clouds are flying, and the wind is relaxing. The music is played, and the sound is in the text. Eight The sound is harmonious, and the gods listen to it. It is salty and fragrant. Cook the animals and enjoy the jade wine. The gods are happy to eat and worship. Bless the Jin Dynasty and bring prosperity to the people. Make the capital city and spread all over the world. Protect the good year and the poor. Geochronology.

.....

Sima Qian, the king of Pingyuan, was singing loudly in the Taiji Hall.

"Book of Jin" contains: The Han Dynasty has been in chaos since Tokyo, and there has been no music in gold and stone. The music has been lost and can no longer be known. When Wu Wu of the Wei Dynasty pinged Jingzhou, Du Kui of the Han Dynasty was awarded the title of Lelang of the Han Dynasty. The envoy created Ding Yale. At that time, there were also Deng Jing, the servant of the cavalry, Yin Shang was good at teaching Yale, the singer Yin Huneng sang the music for the ancestral temple suburbs, and the dancer Feng Su trained the dances of Xiaozhi's ancestors, and Kui Xi took the lead. After collecting scriptures, stories, and ancient music, they began to set up hanging bells and chimes. However, Huang Chuzhong, Chai Yu, and Zuo Yannian's disciples, were favored with new voices and changed their pronunciation.

Translated, it means that since Luoyang was burned by action, the ritual music has also been lost. Most of these songs were compiled by later generations of singers based on articles from previous lives.

These songs were used to offer sacrifices to the gods of the world and to announce the emperor's relocation.

After singing for almost an hour, the edict was held in the palm of the hand's hand, and a sharp voice slowly came out:

Emperor Huixiao’s last edict:

Establishing a monarch and crown prince, respecting the foundation of the country, so inheriting and guarding the utensils, so inheriting the cultural heritage, admiring the previous precepts, and being consistent in time. I surpass my ancestors and enjoy the wealth of heaven. I will live in my house for nine years, and I will celebrate hundreds of millions of years. I will give it to you. One person, the preface is inherited by Pi Gou. The ancestor of the emperor who compiled the book, Yanhong's branch, accepted the rest without borders, but also had sympathy without borders. The load is so heavy, he is diligent and hard, and he will always cherish the training of his heir. He should be the king.

There are several procedures for ascending to the throne.

The enthronement ceremony usually has to be held at a good time, and the time is determined by divination.

The enthronement ceremony will be held on an auspicious day within one month after the death of the old emperor.

In the Han Dynasty, it usually took about a month to wait, in the Tang and Song dynasties, the enthronement ceremony was usually held the day after the death of the late emperor, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it usually took about half a month.

In the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the succession ceremony was held first and then the enthronement ceremony was held. However, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, the succession and enthronement ceremony were held at the same time.

Issuing the edict, selecting a date for the enthronement ceremony (choosing an auspicious day for enthroning, this is a must, and trivial matters, such as custom-made dragon robes and crowns, etc., drafting the edict and posting notices among the people), enshrining the throne, that is, offering sacrifices to heaven, and offering amnesty to the world.

He promulgated the edict and ascended the throne, handed down the imperial seal, the palace musicians played, and was supported by the servants. He ascended the throne, the music stopped, he accepted the congratulations from all officials and from all directions, and offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple, the country and all the people.

Today's ceremony is said to be the enthronement ceremony, but it is actually the succession ceremony.

Wei Chenghan, Jin Chengwei.

There is not much difference between the Han system and the Jin system.

Today, it is impossible to complete all the procedures for enthroning.

But the general amnesty for the whole world and the rewards based on merit are happening today.

Knighted...

Wang Sheng still has small expectations in his heart.

.......

There will be an update tomorrow for Only Ai Shouhou.
