The third year of Zhenguan, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Zetianmen, the emperor ascended Zetianmen, the empress and the prince also attended the meeting. The prime ministers of the three courts, civil and military officials all arrived.

In the square in front of Zetian Gate, rows of imperial guards' armor are bright.

Flags flutter and flutter in the wind.

Around the world, countless people came to watch the ceremony.

Today will be the greatest king-creation ceremony after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor will personally enthrone sixteen kings here, including eight kings of different surnames and eight kings of the royal family. Sixteen kings, two princes, and fourteen princes.

On one side are eight meritorious generals including Li Chao and Li Ji, while on the other side are eight young princes held in their hands by eunuchs.

Sixteen kings and sixteen fiefs are all on all four frontiers.

The sky is so gloomy that the wind has been yelling for several days, and dark clouds have been lying on the city, but the snow has not fallen for a long time. But experienced people know that the more this happens, the heavier the snow will fall.

The drum music rang.

The music played by the King of Qin broke the formation.

"The king-to-government ceremony has officially begun!"

Zetianmen, the main gate of the imperial city.

It has five door holes, which seem to be three from the front, but there are two left and right tuck doors on the front, which open inside the east and west city platforms. One faces west and the other faces east. These two door holes respectively reach east, reach into the platform, turn north, and exit from the north of the city.

Therefore, there is also the theory of light, three darkness, and five.

The layout of Zetianmen is characterized by neatly arranged corridors on both sides, surrounded by gates and verandas, and the layout is progressively arranged layer by layer. This layout can best highlight the majestic and majestic characteristics of the palace buildings.

Zetianmen is connected to the three sides of the east and west north, surrounding a huge square square.

The gatehouse on the north side is nine-bedroom wide and has a double-eaved yellow tiled hip roof.

There are thirteen veranda rooms on the east and west city platforms, which are arranged south from both sides of the gate tower, and are shaped like geese wings, also known as the geese wings. At the north and south ends of the east and west, Yanqi Tower, there is a double-eaved and pointed pavilion. The majestic Zetian Gate is like three mountains surrounded by five peaks, with a majestic peak, and it is also commonly known as the Wufeng Tower.

Although there are five gate holes in this Zetian Gate, only the emperor can enter and exit the main gate. When the emperor gets married, the queen can enter once.

Usually, civil and military ministers enter and exit the left door, while royal princes enter and exit the right door.

The left and right junction gates are not open normally, and when the ceremony is held, all civil and military officials enter and exit through the two junction gates.

There are also bells and drums in the two pavilions in the middle gate tower.

Today, a ceremony of kingship was held.

The bells and drums in the Que Pavilion were ringing to show their magnificence.

Amid the sound of bells and drums, Li Chao walked in front of the left in purple robe, behind him were seven princes. They entered from the left door of Zetian Gate, and on the other side, eight eunuchs hugged eight young princes and entered from the right door.

Pass the side door and climb up to the city tower.

Countless eyes were staring at the two teams, and more of them were focused on the group of nobles on the left, and among them, Li Chao had the most eyes.

Changsun Wuji wore a beam crown and a purple robe with a jade belt on his waist. He stood not far from the emperor. Next to the emperor was his sister Empress Changsun, and next to him was his nephew, Prince Chengqian.

Opposite him was Prime Minister Gao Shilian, who was his biological uncle.

In Zhenguan, Changsun's undeserved first relative. But his uncle was far less powerful than Li Chao. Look at Li Chao, he was several years younger than him, but now he is already stepping up to the Zetian Gate step by step. He will accept the title of the emperor's prince, grant him the golden seal of the king, and grant him the map of the territory of the country.

Then he also gave him a python robe and jade belt.

Taifu, King of Yue.

Changsun Wuji's breathing became a little heavy. He once urged the emperor not to sign Li Chao as king. But in the end, the emperor still wanted to sign Li Chao as king. He knew the emperor's idea. The emperor thought that if Li Chao was not given a real title to the country, Li Chao was the king. But Changsun Wuji didn't think so. How could a king be a lord be a vain?

Especially now there are only two princes in the Tang Dynasty.

Only the prince was granted the title of prince, only the prince was granted the title of prince, and those other royal families were the highest prince.

But the emperor was so generous and generous to Li Chao and directly named King of Yue.

Li Chao is already famous, and now he has given the title of King Yue again. Even if he voluntarily withdraws from the center and resigns from his post as prime minister, Li Chao will still have a great threat to the Tang Dynasty.

This threat is not his ban, but his reputation.

Even if Li Chao has not been enfeoffed now, he has a great reputation, prestige, he has money and food, and he has an extremely wide range of relatives and friends.

Changsun Wuji always felt that Li Chao had really become a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

But the emperor seemed to be unable to see it, turned a blind eye, and always said that he trusted Li Chao and Li Chao was loyal. Changsun Wuji did not believe in loyalty. He believed that there was no absolute loyalty in this world, and even if there were, it was very rare, and Li Chao was not that kind of person.

Loyalty is just not enough chips for betrayal. When one day, when Li Chao finds that he can seize the country with just his fingers, will he still be loyal to the Tang Dynasty?

He looked at Li Chao who was walking slowly and made up his mind that this time, he would persuade the emperor to accept Li Chao's resignation no matter what, and agreed to Li Chao resign as the minister and withdraw from the center.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites read loudly the emperor's edict to confer Li Chao as king.

"The choice of fate is difficult to be a good person. It is not a matter of literature that can be used to rule the country, but it cannot be used to reconcile people. It is a military force that can ban violence, but it will not be able to defeat the enemy successfully. It is a great talent, so it will be a mission."

"Kaifu Yi and the three departments, Shangzhu Kingdom, Taifu, Shangshu Ling, Zhao Duke Chao, River and Yue leisurely energy, Rock and corridors are valuable. The tools are profound and knowledgeable, broad and have plans. The techniques should be made clear and use without lag. After the difficulties and obstacles, they actually have the flags and flags, and they can surrender and restore the barbarians and cross thousands of miles..."

"The general has no choice but to be a family. The prime minister is worried about the border and wants to pacify the country. He is determined to use it to make use of it, and it is appropriate to exert the power of President."

"He will suppress the outer Yu, clarify the county, and be proud of the vassals, and be honored by the country, and give up the honor of the country. He will be detained forever and end his reputation."

After reading this, the Ministry of Rites paused, then raised the volume and continued to read it loudly.

"You can be named King Yue, but I will remain the same."

"The sixth edict on the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chao stepped forward to receive the edict, and then Li Shimin personally awarded the golden seal of King Li Chaoyue, and the crown prince gave Li Chaoyue the map of the national border.

Queen Changsun gave Li Chao a python robe made by her personally led the palace servant.

Li Shimin picked up a sword from the plate held by the eunuch next to him, and the jade sword was entrusted by the eunuch.

"King of Yue, this sword was once my sword, also known as Shangfang Sword of Horse Sword. Now I have given this sword to King Yue." Li Shimin drew out the sword, and the sword was like Qiushui. This is a sword with the style of horse sword in the Han Dynasty, a heavy sword.

When Li Chao saw that the sword had four words to eliminate traitors and punish treacherously, he suddenly had an illusion that he should have four words like I came here, or directly engraved eight words to beat the foolish monarch and beat the treacherous minister.

With these four words, this sword certainly has a different meaning. Although it does not have the privilege of beating the tyrants from above and against treacherous ministers, it is also a very special gift from the emperor.

Next, Qin Qiong and other kings accepted the enthronement one by one.

Everyone had a very long enthronement edict, and in the end, without exception, everyone received an imperial treasure.

Qin Qiong got an eight-edged purple gold mace, Cheng Yaojin got a two-blade one-handed golden axe, Li Ji got a golden gourd hammer, Yuchi Gong got a thirteen-section bamboo-linked golden whip, Su Dingfang got a golden knife...
