Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Zhang Shun has received the seal and accepted the worship of Zhu Changxun and his ministers.

But this is not the end of the coronation ceremony, but only the beginning.

The first step in the enthronement ceremony is to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth clan.

Heaven is the Emperor God, also known as Haotian God, and the place of sacrifice is at the Temple of Heaven; Earth is the Emperor God, the famous Houtu God, and the place of sacrifice is at the Temple of Earth.

The ancestral ancestral temple is also the ancestral temple, and the place of worship is the Ancestral Temple.

At the beginning, after Song Xiance's suggestion, the original emperors of the Ming Dynasty were moved out and the ancestors of Zhang Shun were moved in.

Then, Shen finally chased after him, and shamelessly took Emperor Huang as his great ancestor and Emperor Shun as his great ancestor. He went on to raise the title of three generations higher, and moved them all to sacrifices.

That Zhang Shun originally came from time travel, so he didn't care much about it.

Since I am a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, I think it is not a mistake to regard the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor.

As for She, it means She Ji, which is also the "Lord of the Land" and "The Longest Grain", so it is also called the "God of Earth and Grains". In order to ensure national peace and abundant harvests, the place of worship is at the She Ji Altar.

Due to the lofty status of God Haotian and Emperor Zhuan in traditional culture, even wearing gorgeous crowns is not enough to worship them.

Therefore, Zhang Shun had to go back to Yangxin Hall and put on a simple Dagon crown.

"Book of Rites": "In etiquette, there are those who value literature" and "there are those who value element"; "There are those who value more" and "there are those who value less".

The representative of the former is Gon Mian, while the representative of the latter is Dagon Mian.

Compared with the complicated and luxurious Gun Mian, the Dagon Mian is made of black lambskin, "to resemble the mysterious color of the sky", and "the crown is unattractive and the clothes are unorganized".

This kind of return-to-nature design is used to express the emperor's desire to "repay the original and start over".

The etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven generally includes eleven items: welcoming the gods and playing music, burning firewood, saluting, laying jade and silk, entering the altar, first offering, drinking and receiving blessings, removing the beans, sending off the gods, going to the burning place, and watching the burning. The steps are extremely complicated.

After a while, Zhang Shun was so hot that he was sweating profusely.

It turns out that under normal circumstances, ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth are held on the winter solstice, when the weather is relatively cold.

However, it was early autumn, and the "autumn tiger" was not far away yet. Zhang Shun was wearing a "black lamb's fur", so it was naturally very hot.

However, the etiquette was such that he had to bite the bullet and carry on to the end.

Fortunately, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to sacrifice to the clan can be used in exchange for the crown, and it will be over after a while.

The Temple of Heaven is in the south of the city, and the Temple of Earth is in the north.

After finally finishing the sacrifice to God Huangtian, the sky was just getting slightly brighter. Zhang Shun quickly urged everyone to go to the north of the city to worship God Huangdi Zhuan.

Just as everyone was about to leave, someone suddenly ran up to Song Xiance and whispered a few words.

Song Xiance's eyes lit up, and he rushed to Zhang Shun and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, auspiciousness, auspiciousness from heaven!"

"Where is the auspiciousness?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun quickly raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw a cloudless sky with seven or eight remaining stars dotting it, but there was no sign of anything strange.

"Zhao Yutou came from Luoyang on a fast horse just now. He said that two months ago, the water in Mengjin River suddenly became clear to the bottom. Everyone was suspicious." Song Xiance said loudly.

"A fisherman in Russia caught a golden carp in a net in the Luohe River. It was about five feet long and weighed a hundred kilograms. It was suspected to be a dragon. The fisherman was overjoyed and quickly called his neighbors for help."

"Unexpectedly, the carp was so strong that it broke through the fishing net and flew away."

"When the fisherman came ashore, he checked the fishing net and saw only one thing hanging on the net. After washing it, he found it was a jade seal, so he sold it in the market."

"Zhao Yutou saw it and bought it. He only saw birds and insects engraved on it, but he didn't know why. So he made people see it as 'accepted by heaven, he will live long and prosperous'!"

"Ah? This is the imperial seal!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Passing the national seal?" When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Song Xiance with half-squinted eyes and asked, "Is that true?"

"Zhao Yutou has arrived. Your Majesty will call you and you will know as soon as you ask!" Song Xiance suddenly sweated on his forehead and replied quickly.

"Okay, Xuan Zhao Yutou comes to see you!" Zhang Shun was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Xuanzhao Yutou has an audience!" Following Zhang Shun's edict, a eunuch shouted loudly.

"Caomin Zhao Yutou, I have met your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Not long after, a trembling old man came to Zhang Shun, kowtowed to the ground three times and said nine times.

"Better life!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at Zhao Yutou, who was getting older and more humble.

The old gentleman who was energetic and talked freely about the past and present is now like an ordinary person, crawling at his feet.

No wonder that since ancient times, emperors have been "ignoramused and lonely". It turns out that they are always in the cold at high places!

Just when Zhang Shun was looking at Zhao Yutou, he didn't know that Zhao Yutou, who was lying on the ground, was also having a thousand thoughts.

The young man with whom he had a good relationship at the beginning, in just five years, as if destined by destiny, he rose from a commoner to the rank of Ninth Five-Year Plan.

"It's better to arrive early than to arrive in time!" Zhao Yutou did not get up when he heard this, but walked forward on his knees and said, "After the common people got this seal, they doubled their efforts and rushed to the capital in half a month. .”

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty will ascend the throne. It is truly destiny."

"Your Majesty, please accept this seal and accept the order from heaven. May you live a long and prosperous life!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun took a closer look and saw that Zhao Yutou's rough hand was holding a seal the size of a finger.

The color of the seal is extremely weird. At first glance, it seems to be white, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be greenish, and there seems to be a bit of golden light shining. I don't know whether it is true or not.

Zhang Shun smiled, took it with his own hands and put it into his sleeves, saying, "Some dead objects are not worth the trouble, sir."

"Logically speaking, sir is my old friend. For such a grand event, I should respectfully invite you to attend."

"I just thought of my husband's advanced age, so I didn't dare to trouble him to travel long distances."

"Since Sir has arrived today, I would also like to ask Sir to observe the ceremony for me!"

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, Feng Quan, a cabinet scholar, quickly answered, "This imperial jade seal was originally used by Qin Shihuang and was made by destroying He's jade. It was passed down from Li Congke of the Five Dynasties, but it has disappeared and has been missing for hundreds of years to this day. Years old.”

"In the past, Wang Mang usurped the throne and ordered Shun, the Marquis of Anyang, to sue him, but he died."

"Your Majesty is now the queen of King Shun, and his name has the same pronunciation as it, which shows that it is appropriate."

"This is great auspiciousness. Please send your Majesty's edict to all directions to make the world aware of it!"

"Please ask your Majesty to issue an edict to all parties so that the world will know about it!" As soon as Feng Quan finished speaking, everyone expected that this matter was arranged by Zhang Shun, so they couldn't help but kneel down to beg.

"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun looked up to the sky and laughed three times when he heard this, and then said, "In the past, Qin Shihuang Liuhe, who looked at the world, thought that his descendants and emperors would be the inheritance of eternity."

"He also destroyed the He clan's jade, thinking it was a great treasure, and wanted to pass it on to the generations to come."

"Unexpectedly, the second generation of his family died, and his national seal was obtained by others."

"It's natural to strive hard to get it, thinking that getting it is enough to receive the order, but you don't know that you should use the order to be virtuous and not to use the seal."

"So in the past, when Sun Jian got it, he lost his life; when Yuan Gongdao got it, there were withered bones in the tomb."

"If future generations don't get what they want, they will forge it to deceive others; if they get it, the rulers and ministers will look happy and boast it to the world."

"This will make you laugh for thousands of years, and I won't do anything about it!"

"Now I use peasants as city oars, scholars as warriors, craftsmen as armor, and merchants as jade and silk. Who in the world can make them?"

"Therefore, the common people in the world will pass on the national seal, and I will use a dead thing to do it!"
