Chapter 751

After the New Year, the first major event in the court was to enthrone Sun Bi as the prince.

With the advice of some officials of the Ministry of Rites and the help of important officials such as Lu Zhen, the emperor finally made up his mind and just waited for a suitable auspicious day.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the best day in the past two months selected by the Imperial Heavenly Prison. So early that morning, all the ministers in the capital gathered in the palace as if they were attending a grand ceremony to participate in this grand canonization celebration.

However, the schedule of today is still different from that of the great dynasty. The ministers don’t have to go out early to reach the palace, but just arrive around Si Hou, because today’s enthronement ceremony is scheduled at noon.

Li Ling also took Li Moyun out after eating at home. He quickly joined many chariots and horses along the way and rushed straight to the palace.

Today's God is also considered beautiful. There was a little snow in the past two days, but today it was sunny and even the north wind would stop. However, the temperature was still very low. This made the officials in the court waiting in front of the palace not rush to come out of the car sedan, but waited in the car. Until the sun was almost at the center of the head and a melodious bell rang in the palace, everyone tidied up their clothes and stepped out.

After arranging a neat line and slowly entering the palace, the more than 1,300 ministers did not go to the main hall facing the Meridian Gate, but turned to the other side and came to the ancestral temple of the former emperors of Dayue. Then, they knelt down after the emperor and performed the grand ceremony of three kneeling and nine kowtows to the ancestors.

Although it is not a big deal to enthrone a title, today's celebration is extremely grand because of time. With dozens of huge horns whistling, bells, drums and music playing bells and drums, the magnificent sound is central and peaceful, which really makes people feel the solemn and solemn momentum.

Then he saw the emperor bringing his sons to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors, and the ministers could only wait temporarily to stand outside this magnificent building, standing solemnly, without any noise, only the sound of the wind passed by above.

After a while, the emperor walked out with a serious expression. He was wearing a black background embroidered with golden dragon patterns. He looked very energetic today, even his gray-white hair and beard seemed to be much more ironed. However, although the princes were well-dressed, they were not too energetic, at least they did not feel excited. The only exception was Sun Bi, who was about to be crowned as king. Li Ling, who was most familiar with him, could clearly see that there was a little excitement in his eyes.

After the emperor stood still, the ministers bowed down again, shouting long live the mountain, and the sound shook the world. Even many people in the inner city could hear this call.

Then as the emperor waved his hand, "Ji, you are calm." They slowly stood up, Li Ling was in it, and at this time they couldn't help but look at Sun Bi in front of him again. The latter seemed to have some senses and looked at him. The two exchanged their eyes and quickly separated again.

At this moment, the emperor began to preach: "I have been on this throne for thirty-five years since the late emperor's grand ceremony. I know that the kings of the country have many difficulties, so I have never dared to relax for many years. Fortunately, I have been assisted by many loyal ministers and officials in the court over the years, which has enabled me to maintain long-term stability in the world and have such a peaceful scene..."

After recalling the past and showing the future, the emperor only turned his attention to his sons: "However, I am old after all, and even if I am not at ease, I will always go to see my ancestors and ancestors. In the future, I will still have to leave the world of Great Yue to make a difference.

"I have twelve sons and eight adults. Perhaps not all of them have the talent of the world. However, since I am a father and a king, I will let them do their own strength to my country. Now there are the seven emperors, Sun Bi, who are older and older, and have made contributions to the court. Today, they are the king of Ying!"

With this statement, the eunuch who had prepared aside lifted several huge and luxurious trays over the top and sent them to Sun Bi who was a little stunned: "Please be granted the title."

Sun Bi was after the storm. Although he was a little lost, he quickly recovered and knelt down and thanked him. After his father nodded and asked him to get up, he took the tray on the left, which was placed on the top of the King of England, the imperial book and a jade belt symbolizing his identity.

As for the other trays, one had a double-beam high crown on its head, the other was a dress of the same black robe and four dragons embroidered on it, and some other rewards. At the emperor's instructions, Sun Bi took the eunuchs to avoid the side hall next to it and changed his clothes.

According to the regulations of the Great Yue, the crowns and hats worn by ministers during court meetings are divided into three levels, namely single beams, double beams and three beams. Single beams can be worn as long as they enter the court, while double beams can be worn by high-ranking officials or those with titles. As for the three beams, they are real symbols of status, and only the priest, prince or prince are qualified to wear them.

Sun Bi, who was named Prince, could only wear a double-rail crown, and the gap with the prince was quite large, which was similar to that of the declining King Yong.

But even so, when he was dressed in a well-graceful manner, many brothers were staring at him with jealous eyes for a moment. It was not until the prince came forward to congratulate him first that everyone showed a respectful expression of brothers and friends according to the rules. However, one of them still looked gloomy and looked at Sun Bi, wishing he could bite him a few bites.

Then there was a long celebration and something. Everyone lingered in the palace for more than two hours. Until the sun was west, today's celebration was completely over. Everyone left the palace with all their thoughts.

After leaving the palace, Li Ling wanted to go over and congratulate Sun Bi for finally being crowned king. Unexpectedly, more colleagues around him were much faster than him. He actually surrounded Sun Bi in the middle in front of the palace gate, and congratulated him a lot. However, these court officials who were willing to take the consequences and were eager to get close to the newly-conferred King of England were mostly not in high status. Looking at it, they were all green official robes, with only a few occasional scarlet colors hidden in the middle.

This is also reasonable. If it weren't for the low status or the fact that there was no real power in his hands, which courtier would have been rushing to curry favor with Sun Bi, a prince who had no power and reputation, who had just won the title of king. They did this just to leave more ways for themselves.

Sun Bi obviously knew this, so she seemed very calm when talking to these people. She was neither too arrogant nor too close to each other. She was just aware of each other.

However, the lively scenes here still made them feel uncomfortable when they fell into the eyes of some people. For example, Sun Lin, the Yong Prince who was both a prince, was demoted from the prince, looked very bad at this time. While he was calm, he also hummed softly.

Unfortunately, the prince who walked beside him heard this hum, and immediately turned around, smiling and said, "Sixth brother, are you dissatisfied with the title of Lao Qi?"

The prince and King Yong are old rivals and enemies for many years. Even though King Yong no longer has any threats, the prince still dislikes him very much. He always sarcastically seizes the opportunity. Now seeing him in this way, he naturally has to make trouble.

King Yong's expression changed again, and he also smiled and said, "The prince is wronged, my brother. How could I be dissatisfied with the Seventh Prince? He is our brother. I just can't stand these people's flattery and flattery, which is simply a disgrace to his kindness."

"Yes, the court's atmosphere is becoming more and more impetuous. It is indeed time to manage it well. No one can use his power to seek personal gain and do something to harm innocent people." After the prince said this, he saw a look of shame and anger flashing across King Yong's face, laughed with satisfaction, and turned around and left.

At this time, King Yong said again: "Crown Prince, Lao Qi was the one who recommended him to be the king, right?"

"Yes, as you said, we are brothers, so we should help ourselves so that we can live up to our father's daily teachings."

"You are really kind to you. But don't blame me for not reminding you. Some things look good, but in the end, it might be the biggest mistake. You think you just let the seventh prince be the prince, but it's hard to guarantee that when he will become your biggest opponent."

This time, it was the prince's turn to change his face. But King Yong did not stay and wait for him to say anything. He bowed slightly, then he strode away with a strange smile.

After the prince pondered for a moment, he recovered and shook his head disapprovingly. He wanted to use such words to mess up his mind. Lao Liu looked down on him too much. Just a little prince, he could really threaten his status? Even if Sun Bi is really talented and ambitious, he may not have enough time to grow!

Just as he was about to leave, he swept over there again, and the prince's expression changed again, because he found that two officials in the breeze robe came to Sun Bi and had a great chat with him. This was much more important than the dozens of small officials in the green robe before. When he looked carefully, he found that one of the officials was Li Ling, who had caused him to suffer several losses!

This made him feel even more uncomfortable. After looking over there with a gloomy face for a while, he strides away.

On the other side, Li Ling and Wei Liang had already congratulated Sun Bi. Several of them were having a casual exchange and said while walking: "Your Highness, you have now been named the king. With the system of our Dayue Dynasty, the prince has the right to participate in politics. Have you ever thought about participating in the affairs of the court?"

Sun Bi smiled and shook his head: "After all, I know about government affairs, and when I was in the southwest, I learned more about joining the army and leading troops, so it is better to hide my weaknesses. I will not interfere with the affairs of the court."

"What Your Highness said is that it is better to hide your weakness than to make a fool of yourself." Wei Liang said, "However, I think your Highness should learn more about the way of governing the country. I believe many officials are willing to give their knowledge to you."

Sun Bi looked at the two of them thoughtfully, then nodded seriously: "I've been taught. By the way, I want to hold a banquet in the newly-departed palace to celebrate. If you have time, you can come tomorrow night. And your colleagues and friends, as long as they are like-minded, you can invite them for a while."
