Chapter 604 Luoyang Ascension to the Throne
Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the relatives of the emperor's clan, and is responsible for the royal family's seal, the fifth class, the first class is the emperor's relatives and the empress's parents; the second class is the emperor's great brothers and the empress's Zhou's relatives, and the empress's Zhou's relatives, and then the emperor's queen's small brothers, the bride's relatives, the prince's consort, etc., all under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Temple.
In addition to being in charge of the relatives of the Emperor and the clan of the Emperor and Empress, Li Chongjiu also decided to let Zongzheng Temple manage the Buddhist and Taoist religions.
For some reason, although Li Chongjiu did not clearly believe in Buddhism, he was a layman in Shaolin Temple and had a connection with Buddhism. In addition, Yang Ehuang and Empress Xiao both admired Buddhism, so Li Chongjiu was considered to be generous to Buddhism.
Li Chongjiu once announced that he would not prohibit the people from sending land to Buddhist temples, but he stated that monks and civilian fields were generally taxed.
Li Chongjiu was grateful for Shaolin Temple. If he had not been hiding at the beginning, he would not have a place to hide, and he would not have any advice from Jueyuan to him, and he would not have any martial arts skills. Now that the Zhao army can conquer Luoyang, Shaolin Temple will have great efforts to capture Xuanyuan Pass for him.
According to the tacit understanding reached with the abbot of Shaolin Temple Pusheng, Li Chongjiu fulfilled his promise to Pusheng and enthroned Shaolin Temple as Huguo Temple.
In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the seventeenth year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, the first year of the Great Zhao Renewal, May 1st.
In front of Ganyang Hall in Luoyang, the warriors in the Ganyang Hall held golden gourds and black armor, standing on the corridors of the two halls. The Zhao official door, who had newly changed into Jinhong official uniforms, stood in his hand holding a tablet, with a solemn expression. The officials stood on the left and the military on the right, both of whom stood in the south.
The drums and music suddenly sounded on the imperial road, and the five-colored canopy were covered. Li Chongjiu wore a crimson gauze robe and walked slowly from the imperial road on the white jade steps. All the officials were holding tablets and bent down.
Yiwei surrounded Li Chongjiu and climbed the jade steps. He walked to the hall and turned around, sitting on the dragon throne south. Then all the officials turned around and looked north.
The official of the ritual shouted from afar: "Please bow and bow!"
His Highness and all officials knelt down, kowtowed and bowed, and finally shouted long live the mountain.
"Flat!" The official of the Lili shouted loudly.
Then Wen Yanbo walked up the steps, asked for an edict from Li Chongjiu, and recited it loudly in front of all civil and military officials.
"...A king who changes his surname and receives a mandate must be careful when he starts and changes his clothes. He recommends the original Tianyuan and follows the intention. I am a commoner, and he inherits the destiny of heaven... He takes the national name as the Great Zhao, and changes the era and reforms..."
Wen Yanbo thought of this, the expressions of the officials fluctuated. Ji Chuan, Zhou Xu and Liu Yi, the three masters of Huaihuang, who were the three masters of Huaihuang, heard this moment, looked at each other, and their eyes were moist. The kings, Ma Han, Chen Ke, Gao Chu, Tanzong and others followed Li Chongjiu from Qiqian Village, Shaolin Temple, Huaihuang Town, and Feihu County. These straightforward men actually wiped their eyes from time to time with their arms.
Zhou Zhou, the new Liaodong County Magistrate, said to himself: "Change the era and reform. This is the meaning of the year name. Is it a great cause that is unprecedented and unparalleled?"
"...I have been respected by the founder Gao Yao as Emperor Taiwu, Li Qi as Emperor Deming, his grandfather as Emperor Renxing, his grandfather as Emperor Xiaogong, and his father Li Hu as Emperor Taishang..."
On both sides of Ganyang Hall, Li Hu was rubbing Li Ying. When he heard this, he only smiled faintly. He didn't care about what emperor he was at this age, but seeing that Li Chongjiu's power grew increasingly, all officials respected him, from a bandit to a kingdom today.
What else is more happy than hoping that his son will become a dragon? After Li Chongjiu became emperor, he respected himself as the emperor. What is more important during this period is that Li Chongjiu's filial piety to him. With this, Li Hu is enough.
"...The first emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty posthumously honored the posthumous title of Emperor Wu, honored the Empress Xiao as the wife of the State of Chen, and Chen Pin was named the wife of the county and state..."
In both halls, Empress Xiao and Chen Wu, sisters, listened quietly to Wen Yanbo's aloud reading outside the hall.
A faint smile appeared on Queen Xiao's face at this moment. No Madam Chen is worth mentioning. However, Li Chongjiu posthumously named Yang Guang as Emperor Wu, which made her very happy.
"Did you hear the Spirit of Heaven in the Last Emperor? This should be enough to comfort me." Queen Xiao whispered.
Chen Ma was also as thoughtful as him, and stepped forward to caress Queen Xiao and said, "Sister."
Empress Xiao said softly: "The Ai family thought that when the late emperor ascended the throne in Xijing, the Ai family stood beside him like Ehuang today and accepted the worship of all officials. The palace music was very good and easy to come by. Today, the Ai family can no longer remember the name of the palace music, but this situation will never be forgotten in the lifetime."
Speaking of this, Empress Xiao stood up and came to the window, looking at His Highness Qianyang from afar through the pane.
Chen Wu sighed quietly, "Yes, seventeen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and his youth is fleeting, and his red face is already gray."
Several older women in the hall sighed.
At this moment, Yang Ehuang was standing next to Li Chongjiu in the queen's clothes. Now she was a little nervous. When she turned to look at Li Chongjiu, she felt a little relieved when she saw his quiet look.
"...... Yang's daughter, Emperor Wu, is a daughter of Yang's wife... but her mother is in the world. I have conferred Yang as the queen and commanded the six palaces..."
Yang Ehuang heard word by word in his ears, and he forced himself to turn to see Li Chongjiu, and his cheeks were already slightly flushed.
It turns out that I just want to be your wife. No matter you are an emperor, general or a peddler, and today you ascend the throne to the emperor, I will put away my previous willfulness and take on the responsibility of the queen. Yang Ehuang thought quietly.
"…I also enthroned Li as the imperial concubine..."
In the side hall, Li Zhiwan frowned and stood with no joy, anger, sorrow and joy on her face. She clenched her hands and said to herself in a daze: "I have thought that when the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world; but can I really bear everything today?"
Li Zhiwan lowered her head, but saw Shi Deyun on the side, smiling and a sense of joy that was not to be concealed, blooming like flowers blooming. On the side of Shi Deyun, she should be her mother. In the future, the noble ladies of Shi Dexi clan would also be like a happy person, surrounded by Shi Deyun on all sides.
"…The enthroned family De, the imperial concubine..."
After the words came to an end, everyone on the side congratulated Shi Deyun. Shi Deyun smiled, with a happy smile on her face.
“…The Su family was conferred as a noble person…”
Hearing this, Su Mian's body shook slightly invisible, and the palace maids on both sides saw that Su Miao was just a noble man, not even a concubine, and could not help but look down on him. Now the people in the palace in Luoyang are either looking for ways to serve the two imperial concubines, or flattering the queen. The popular people in the palace of Empress Xiao, as for Su Mian, no one even took a look at him.
The palace maid Youbi, who served next to Su Miao, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to Empress, congratulations to Empress."
Su Miao showed a bitter smile on her face and said, "Look at the deep palace palace, the harem wall is divided, and she will never see her relatives again in this life. How happy is it?"
You Bi said: "Why do you have to say that to Empress? You are still young and have opportunities."
"Opportunity? I'm afraid it won't belong to me anymore." Su Miao shook her head.
"Empress, the matter is done by man." Su Miao looked at You Bi, but was tranced but didn't say anything.
"The eldest son Ying was named Prince of Taiyuan...the daughter of the queen, named Princess Zhaohua...the adorable daughter, named Princess Anping..."
Pingping stood beside Li Chongjiu with a smile on his face. In the public, everyone looked at his nose and his heart. Pingping's behavior was not in line with etiquette, but everyone knew that Pingping was simple and could not speak in nature, and was deeply favored by Li Chongjiu, so no one was to make things difficult for her.
Zhou Zhou, standing at the steps, looked at Pingping and smiled slightly. Zhao Xin, among the officials, looked at Pingping and thought to himself that Princess Anping's appearance is really good. It would be nice to marry her as a wife and concubine, but it would be a pity that she was a mute person. But the emperor usually named her and the queen's legitimate daughter as a princess, on an equal footing, and obviously loved her very much. If she married her, my Zhao family would be as stable as Mount Tai from then on.
But when Zhao Xin thought about being dumb, she felt a pity that she was also a young hero. She was a county magistrate under 30 years old. Do you really have to obey her father's wishes and become a prince consort?
"...Dou Jiande was appointed King Leshou, and his inheritance was passed down and he was given a hundred hectares of land. His wife Cao was the wife of Xuanguo, and his daughter Dou was the princess of the county..."
Under the steps, old ministers such as Zhang Xuansu, Su Dingfang, Cheng Mingzhen and others showed relief when they heard this. King Zhao really kept his promise, not the one who could kill the donkey. But if he inherited Dou Jiande, he would just shrug. Dou Jiande and Cao had no son, and no one could inherit his title in the future. As for Dou Xianniang, sooner or later, she would marry.
But no matter what, the Emperor of Zhao finally treated Dou Jiande well. Although he had not won the world, he was still a Marquis of Anle in this life and could enjoy his old age in Huaihuang Town.
"...Meng Hai Gong was named King Jiyin, and was inherited from generation to generation and was given a hundred hectares of land. His wife Ma was the wife of Zheng. In addition to her eldest son, she could also be the prince of the county..."
Meng Haigong, his wife Ma Saifei, and his son Meng Yi were beside the hall. Since he arrived in Luoyang, he was worried that Li Chongjiu would turn against him and put him under house arrest, but all this did not happen. Especially after hearing that he had been able to win the title of King of Dou Jiande of Hebei just now, they were even more at ease.
Li Chongjiu could even tolerate Dou Jiande, and he, Duke Meng Hai, was always respectful to Li Chongjiu and even killed the former general of Liu Heita to show his loyalty. In this way, Li Chongjiu would not treat them even less. As expected, when he heard that Duke Meng Hai was named king, Duke Meng Hai and his wife were all overjoyed. If it weren't for the public, they would have clapped their hands long ago.
The scene of the two of Meng Haigong and the other two almost dancing made Wang Bo, who was standing beside them, show disdain. Wang Bo was a scholar. When he rebelled, he was a man who was benevolent in his body. Although he later suffered repeated losses, he looked down on a rough man like Meng Haigong who could not recognize a single word.
