Chapter 710: The King of the World

At the fourth update, Li Qing'an was woken up by his wife Mingyue. Not long after entering the Daming Palace, everyone was not used to it and lived in the Bath Hall. The Bath Hall was not a main hall, but a collective name for a group of buildings, consisting of hundreds of pavilions and towers, covering a huge area.

Li Qing'an sat up, he was a little confused. The dream in his mind had not disappeared. He had a dream last night, dreaming that the entire Daming Palace was hollowed out. When he held the throne ceremony, the Daming Palace suddenly collapsed. The dream was very detailed. There were plots and he dug the big pit under the Daming Palace by himself.

"Yeah! Is the time here?"

Li Qing'an tried hard to bring himself back to reality. He was going to hold the throne hall today and he had to do his best.

"It's just the fourth update, and there's still one more hour."

Mingyue had already put on her clothes, and she was busy serving her husband to get up. There were six palace maids standing next to her. They were all young, and they all came to the palace since they were young. They stood aside, a little at a loss. The Empress got up and changed clothes for the emperor. This was the first time they saw her, and they were a little afraid of Li Qing'an. Li Qing'an's image in the palace was to kill people and massacre thousands of miles of the city, which made them feel a deep sense of fear.

Seeing that they were not effective, Mingyue stood there in a daze at this time, and frowned and urged them, "What are you still standing there? Why don't you go and prepare hot water to wash the emperor."

The palace maids were shocked. Four of the six palace maids ran over, and the remaining two came to wear shoes for Li Qing'an. This was just a simple combed and washed. After breakfast, they had to do formal combed and dressed. It was very time-consuming. Although there was an hour, time was still very tight.

At this time, Rushi hurried in and smiled apologetically, "I'm late!"

At home, Rushi usually helps Li Qing'an comb his hair and clean it up. Everyone is used to it. Although Mingyue sometimes helps Li Qing'an clean it up, Rurushi is far from moving in. She was anxious. When she saw Rushi coming in, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and complained to her: "Why are you here now?"

Rushi blushed and quickly explained: "The palace here is too big. I still think it is the royal palace, but I walked for a long time."

She stepped forward and took the comb from Mingyue, "Sister, I'll do it!"

Mingyue gave her the comb and said, "I'll go and have a breakfast."

She quickly walked out. At this time, Li Qing'an winked at the two palace maids. Both palace maids retreated tactfully, and there were only two of them in the room. Li Qing'an hugged his concubine and asked her with a smile, "I didn't have the chance to talk to you alone last night. How do you feel in the palace?"

Rushi let Li Qing'an's hands touch her body. While combing Li Qing'an's hair, she said coquettishly: "The room is too empty. I'm afraid of sleeping alone at night. You won't come to accompany me at night."

"Then I'll be with you tonight." Li Qingan said with a smile.

"It's not possible tonight. It's my second sister's turn tonight. I know she has a lot of grievances to tell you! It's better to follow the rules! You come to accompany me the night after tomorrow, by the way! You can't say you can accompany me now, you have to say that you want the emperor to come."

Speaking of this, Rushi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, "I'm really not used to it at all."

Li Qingan was helpless and could only smile bitterly: "Except for the founding emperors, the emperors of all time have grown up in the palace. They are used to it, so they think it is normal. We all became monks halfway through and can only adapt slowly. After a long time, we will get used to it."

At this time, Rushi had already combed his hair for him. Several palace maids came in with hot water basins and placed them on the washbasin. The basin was like a dressing table in later generations, with mirror basin stands. Li Qing'an washed himself in the military camp and was too lazy to repair his beard, but he didn't have to do it at home, so naturally there were wives and concubines to help him organize it.

After brushing his head, Rushi washed his face with a hot towel and trimmed his beard carefully. After a long time of busy work, Li Qingan got up and headed towards the breakfast room under the guidance of the palace maid.

It was already time for Mao, which was almost five o'clock in the morning. The sky was already white. The sky was clear and the sky was clear. Nearly 10,000 officials had gathered in Danfengmen Square. Today is the day of the New Emperor's Ascension Ceremony. All officials in Beijing who are above the ninth rank must participate. Not only the court officials, local officials in Beijing, scattered officials and retired officials must also participate. Those who are not on duty among the officers, who are not on duty must also participate. There are also foreign envoys, hostages in Beijing, etc., and will also attend the ceremony. In this way, more than 10,000 officials will participate in today's Ascension Ceremony.

The location is not in Hanyuan Hall, but in Danfengmen Square, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Guanglu Temple and other relevant departments began preparing ten days ago. There were clear areas on Danfengmen Square. In front were court officials and local officials, as well as officers above the third rank, scattered officials behind the left, officers below the fourth rank, and in the back row were retired officials, foreign envoys and hostages, etc., and even the rank mountain was arranged, very detailed and meticulous.

In a corner of Danfeng Gate, Pei Min was talking to Yan Zhenqing. Both of them were wearing third-rank court uniforms and holding ivory court scepters in their hands. They both went outside the city yesterday to welcome Li Qing'an and witnessed the enthusiastic welcome of the people of Chang'an. Although they believed that Li Qing'an could bring the Tang Dynasty to Zhongxing, they still regretted that they could not have a good talk with him before Li Qing'an ascended the throne.

Seeing that Pei Min was still a little worried, Yan Zhenqing advised him: "Young Master Pei doesn't need to think too much. I think with the priest's self-discipline, he should not break through the existing power structure and will not surpass the power of the Political Affairs Hall."

Pei Min sighed, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but Emperor Xuanzong was the same back then. In the first twenty years, he worked hard to govern and created the Kaiyuan prosperous era. But in the next twenty years, he was arrogant and extravagant and lustful, and what was the good prosperous era like? I was worried that he would repeat the same mistake."

"Shangshu Pei doesn't have to worry about so much. Let's keep more careful. As long as there are signs, we must try our best to dissuade him. I believe that the priest's vision is much longer than that of Xuanzong, and is comparable to Taizong."

The two were talking, and Zhang Yun walked over with a smile, "What are the two prime ministers talking about? It's mysterious."

Pei Min and Yan Zhenqing both smiled and didn't say anything. Zhang Yun knew it clearly. He sighed and said, "Actually, what I'm worried about is that the harem of the emperor is too weak. The harem of Emperor Xuanzong is 40,000. Our new emperor is so good. There are only five wives and concubines, which is unbearable. It's a taboo for the emperor to have a few children!"

Pei Min waved his hand, "I don't think I have to worry too much about this. Take it slowly. As far as I know, the second daughter of Dugu family is going to enter the palace, and it is also possible for Cui Yu's daughter Cui Yunqing."

Zhang Yun was shocked. Why didn't he know anything about Cui Yu's daughter? He suddenly remembered that Pei Min was the queen's uncle. Perhaps he had any inside information, so he asked quickly: "Is this news serious?"

"I also heard from my sister Mrs. Dugu that the queen had already contacted the Cui family and might have this intention, but the emperor may not know it yet, so he will decide in the end."

Zhang Yun was a little confused. It was obvious that marrying the daughter of the Cui family was to balance the power of the aristocratic family. Pei Wan'er had already entered the palace, and the Dugu family had a deep relationship with the Pei family. The Pei family obviously showed signs of being enlarged, so in order to balance the aristocratic family, it was natural for the daughter of the Cui family to enter the palace. In this way, both Pei and Cui families became relatives of the outside world. What should the Zhang family do?

Zhang Yun thought of himself. He has been thinking about how to gain a foothold in the New Dynasty these days. He also knew that the Tang Dynasty founded by Li Qing'an has been separated from the original Tang Dynasty. It is not a simple inheritance, but more of a new beginning. If he can gain a foothold in the Li Qing'an era and take root, the Zhang family will be no less than the Cui and Pei families in the next few hundred years. For this goal, he will make a full attack. Not only should he cultivate talents and let the Zhang family produce many talents, but he should also consider the harem and let the daughter of the Zhang family enter the harem to be a concubine. As support for the Zhang family, he has been considering this matter these days. Li Qing'an only has five harems, which is actually the best opportunity.

He then thought of Zhang Xuan, the daughter of a distant clan of Luoyang. He had seen this niece once. She was very beautiful, and she was well-educated and polite. She was quite arrogant. She was only sixteen years old this year, but the matchmaker had already broken through the threshold. Zhang Yun had already sent his family to Luoyang. He wanted to turn Zhang Xuan into the daughter of his third brother Zhang Yi, and then find a way to send him to the palace, so that he would have a reliance in the harem.

He was thinking about this for the past two days, but suddenly he heard that the Cui family might take the lead, which really made him anxious.

At this moment, the bell from Hanyuan Palace rang, "Dong!Dong!" The distant bell echoed over the Daming Palace. It was already the hour of Mao. In another two quarters of an hour, the throne ceremony was about to begin. In Danfeng Square, the ministers walked towards their positions one after another.

The bells of Hanyuan Palace also reached the harem. At this time, Li Qing'an was finally wearing the throne of the throne. He wore a robe with twelve white jade tassels hanging on the edge of the crown. He wore a yellow robe and a robe. The yellow robe was embroidered with eight chapter patterns such as sun, moon, stars, dragons, mountains, flower insects, fire, Zongyi, etc., with jade belts tied around his waist, and gold ornaments such as swords, pendants, and ribbons. It was very solemn and gorgeous.

Mingyue was doing the final arrangement for him. She was Li Qing'an's wife and knew her husband the best. All the palace maids and eunuchs felt calm and even chatting and laughing. Only Mingyue understood the tension in her husband.

Taking advantage of giving him the opportunity to organize his jade belt, she laughed in his ear: "In front of the military parade, the husband is still majestic in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the 100,000 enemy troops on the opposite side still have a cold look and a face that remains unchanged. Why bother with more than 10,000 scholars now!"

Li Qingan was indeed a little nervous at this time. His wife's comfort made him calm down. He laughed unconsciously. He had all the troops and horses rushed over. Do you still care about this? Understanding this, he straightened his waist unconsciously, and his usual majesty suddenly appeared on him.

He looked at Mingyue gratefully and patted her back. Mingyue smiled slightly. Needless to say, there was a tacit understanding between the couple.

At this time, a eunuch came in and whispered: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, it's time to set off."

Li Qingan stood up, looked at his wife deeply, shook her hand, and then walked out. Mingyue looked at her husband's figure and left, and her heart was filled with expectation and blessings.

The dragon-tail jade steps in front of Hanyuan Hall were ready. The throne of the 10-meter-high throne stood on the jade steps. One hundred and eighty palace guards stood on both sides of the throne with various ceremonial instruments in their hands. The dragon-tail roads on both sides were also filled with Yulin soldiers wearing golden helmets and armor. They held wooden gilded axes, qi, spears, axes and other weapons, and stood on the steps like gods, majestic.

On the side of the jade steps, there is a three-sheep tripod about eight feet high in purple gold beast pattern. In front of it is an incense burner for offering sacrifices to heaven. This is used to ascend the throne and sacrifices to heaven.

Today's ceremonial is Li Kui, the Minister of Rites. He held the order of the Empress Dowager in his hand and stood solemnly. The first round of morning glow shot out through the clouds, and the purple light shone on the Danfeng Jade Step, looking sacred and solemn.

‘Dong--’ Another heavy bell rang. At the third hour of Mao, welcoming you a great music started, and the entire Danfengmen Square was silent, with 12,000 officials and 8,000 Yulin Army waiting in a solemn manner.

The team finally came, and two teams of Thousand Niu Guards were carrying ceremonies and swords in front of them to guide the way, followed by the Jinwu miniature guards. They held the Nine Dragon Luo Umbrella, the colorful cloud flag, the fans, festivals, commands, cloaks, flags, flags, banners and other ceremonial objects, one after another, dazzling, with as many as eight hundred people. Finally, Li Qing'an arrived on the dragon chariot, and hundreds of guards were there. Li Qing'an walked off the dragon chariot, and a guide eunuch slowly guided him forward, and sixteen palace maids followed him with a long-handed fan in their hands.

Li Kui, the Minister of Rites, shouted loudly: "All officials greet you!"

Ten thousand officials in Danfeng Square knelt down at the same time and kowtowed three times. Li Kui shouted loudly, "After the ceremony!"

More than ten thousand officials stood up, and Li Kui read out again: "Please come out and worship the heaven!"

Two eunuchs helped Li Qing'an to the sacrificial platform. Li Qing'an was extremely calm at this time. He held three incense sticks in his hand and knelt down slowly. Everyone in the square also knelt down. Li Qing'an silently prayed to heaven, "The emperor was ordered by heaven, and hoped that heaven would protect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"

He inserted the incense into the incense burner and bowed respectfully to the heavens.

At this time, Li Kui, the Minister of Rites, took out the order of the Empress Dowager and read it loudly: "The Tang Dynasty has been a hundred years since Emperor Gaozu founded the country. It respects all the world and the people are healthy, opening up the end of China's prosperity..."

He recited for a quarter of an hour and finally said with a high voice: "Now, the Tang Dynasty royal family is Qing'an, rising up in response to the sky and saving the Tang Dynasty from danger. God's will is clear, and he can ascend the throne and create another ten thousand-year foundation in the Tang Dynasty. I admire this!"

Kui Li accepted the order of the Empress Dowager and whispered loudly: "Please ascend the throne!"

Li Qingan climbed to the Golden Back Throne step by step, facing north and south, looking down at the huge Danfeng Square, looking down at the 12,000 ministers, and looking at each of their expectant faces. At this moment, his heart was filled with incomparable confidence.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, and all officials bow to the new emperor!"

Twelve thousand ministers knelt down again, and they shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"
