On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 946 AD, the Shangyuan Festival.

Zhang Zhao, who had been recommended by civil and military ministers and the people of Tokyo, wore a twelve-studded crown and a large fur-clothed garment to worship God Haotian, and a black robe. He left Kaifeng City and headed to the southern suburbs.

The big fur crown garment is the highest-quality crown garment. The top is painted with six chapter patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and flower insects.

The lower shang embroidered with algae, fire, powder rice, Zongyi, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu, fu,

Before this, Zhang Zhao had already ordered people to build an altar in the southern suburbs of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. The first step to establish the country and ascend the throne was to worship the world.

In the Tang Dynasty, the response to heaven and man was highly praised for the response to heaven and man.

When the emperor claims to be the emperor, he naturally must first worship the gods of heaven and earth and heaven.

However, in this ceremony, Zhang Zhao also joined the ceremony of worshipping Emperor Xuanyuan because Zhang Hui, the ancestor of Zhang family, was the grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan Huang.

The surname of Huangdi is Ji, and the Zhang family comes from the Ji surname, and Zhang Zhao also came from here by the name of Zhou.

The worship of Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan means that Zhang Zhao inherited the legal system of the ancestor Ji family, and was to follow the ancestors. Therefore, he performed the Zhou rituals and took the country's name as Zhou, which was based on the legal system.

At the altar in the southern suburbs, Zhang Zhao performed a kneeling ceremony in his big fur and crowned clothes, and burned firewood to sacrifice to God Haotian.

Then he went to the Xuanyuan Huangdi tablet and performed a bow and bow. After that, he returned to his throne and performed a bow and bow three times and nine times to the gods in the country. He also presented jade and silk.

After this set was completed, there was a smaller temple next to it, and the sacrifices were Emperor Ku, the father of Zhang Hui, the ancestor of Zhang family and Hou Ji, the ancestor of Ji surname.

Zhang Hui and Emperor Ku were both grandsons of Huangdi. They were brothers, and one was the ancestor of the Zhang family and the other was the ancestor of the Ji family.

The sacrifices to him alone were also to consolidate the legitimacy of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhou, and to strengthen the inevitability of his recovery of Zhou rituals and ending troubled times.

This set of rituals was completed with the assistance of Feng Dao, who was temporarily serving as the Minister of Taichang Temple.

There is no way, the original Taichang Temple Minister had been killed by the Khitans, and He Ning, Fan Zhi and others did not come out to compete with Feng Dao. In addition, Feng Dao was the leader of Wendao at this time, so he could only preside over the presidency.

As soon as Zhang Zhao finished the sacrifice, Feng Dao immediately shouted.

"Etiquette is completed! The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne!"

Hearing the etiquette, the de facto Prime Minister Zhang Xichong led all civil and military officials, the elderly in the capital, and immediately began to celebrate and dance, calling for three people to live long live.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao's emperor's reality was officially completed under the witness of the distant ancestors of heaven and earth.

From then on, he became the legitimate Central Plains Emperor.

After accepting the crowd's three-pitched shouts, Zhang Zhao went to Taimiao under the escort and guidance of Lubo. Here is where his direct ancestors eat blood.

In the Taimiao, Zhang Zhao took off his big fur and crowned garment and put on a crowned garment dedicated to sacrificing the country and ancestors.

The first thing, and almost the only thing, is to go to the treasure book and posthumously enfeoffed ancestors of the four generations.

Originally, Zhang Zhao was not going to posthumously enthrone Zhang Yichao in his name as a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but later he found that this was a problem.

Because if Zhang Yichao was not chased, then according to the order of the Zhang family's rulers, he could only posthumously be chased and awarded the second generation of Guiyi Army's governor, namely Zhang Yichao's nephew Zhang Huaishen.

But Zhang Huaishen is not Zhang Zhao’s direct grandfather!

Moreover, Zhang Huai Shen was killed in the coup, and this incident has always made everyone secret, because it is very likely that Zhang Zhao's grandfather Zhang Huaiding participated in the murder of Zhang Huai Shen.

So if Zhang Zhao didn't chase Zhang Yichao, it would be too dark and humorous. The chase was the first one who was not the direct ancestor of the founder, and there were still unspeakable things mixed in it.

And it is also necessary to posthumously enfeoffed. The rise of the Zhang family and Zhang Zhao in Shazhou came from the Guzhong Guiyi Army in the northwest. No matter what, Zhang Huaishen could not avoid it.

So Zhang Zhao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​retaining the reputation of loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty for Zhang Yichao, and began to posthumously enthrone the four generations of ancestors.

Among them, the fourth generation ancestor was Zhang Yichao's father, Zhang Zhao's great-grandfather Zhang Qianyi, posthumously named Emperor Yizu Xiao. Among them, the temple name Yi and the posthumous title Xiao are both beautiful posthumous titles about morality.

Even Zhang Qianyi himself was not very clear about his life, so he just wanted to just make up moral and beautiful names.

As the great hero Zhang Yichao, who first created the Zhang family's foundation, Zhang Zhao agreed with his ministers that the temple name was Heng, and that the four directions of Wuding were called Heng, which means that Wu Zhi was able to achieve the meaning of Wu Zhi.

The posthumous title of Emperor Li Dao Zhaoji, the Holy Martial God Cheng Ying Rui Zheming Xiaoding.

Among them, the Holy Martial God Cheng Ying Rui Zheming is the posthumous title, and filial piety is the posthumous title.

Only the word "Ding" is the posthumous title. The group of Ren Neng is called Ding, and the martial arts of Sicheng is called Ding.

They are all praises for Zhang Yichao's uprising and establishing a foundation, leading the heroes of Hexi to overthrow the tyranny of Tubo nobles, and saving people of all ethnic groups.

The second Zhang Huaishen, who was posthumously named Ying, was named Ying, and was named Ying with an outstanding name, and was known as Ying with a clear understanding.

Zhang Huaishen, as the second generation governor of the Guiyi Army, successfully stabilized the basic foundation of the Guiyi Army after Zhang Yichao went to Chang'an. Among the second generation of the Zhang family at that time, he could indeed afford the word "English".

Moreover, the posthumous title Ying has another meaning. This posthumous title also implies that the emperor had an internal conflict during the reign of the emperor.

In history, there was a change in the southern slope during the period of Emperor Yingzong of the Yuan Dynasty, and there was a change in the period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, people in this era could not know what happened later, but Zhang Zhao knew it, so he insisted on giving Zhang Huaishen a temple name.

Because during his reign, Zhang Zhao's grandfather Zhang Huaiding, supported by Suexun and others, also had an internal conflict with Zhang Huaiding, Zhang Huaishen, his wife Chen and four sons were killed.

Zhang Huaishen's posthumous title is Huai. The people think of his kindness as Huai. The death of his position is Huai. The full name is Emperor Yingzu Da Xiaohuai. It can be said that it accurately summarizes Zhang Huaishen's life.

As for Zhang Zhao's grandfather Zhang Huaiding, the temple name was Lie, and the posthumous title was Dao, and he was called Emperor Lie's ancestor Da Xiaodao.

The temple name of the ancestors was mostly used to regain the family business but to create a limited emperor. Zhang Huaiding took back his power from his cousin Zhang Huaishen, which was just right for the ancestors of the city.

The posthumous title of Dao was used for Zhang Huaiding, who died young in middle age for a short period of time and was called Dao of Dao of Liezu. After regaining his position, he died after only being a military governor for a few years.

The temple name of Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng was named Yuan and posthumously named Su, and was called Emperor Da Xiaosu of Yuan. They were all confirmed by the Queen Mother of Fengtian.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Chengfeng was appointed as the emperor and built the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty.

Su was also chosen, and the execution was decisive. Yes, it was quite appropriate. When Zhang Chengfeng established the Kingsoft Kingdom, he was indeed decisive.

After the posthumous title was completed, the ancestral temple of Zhang Zhou's country was built, and the next year was the year name. Zhang Zhao especially wanted to use the year name Qianyuan.

What a good noun!

Qian has four virtues, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen, Yuande is the leader, representing the Yin Shi, the posture of all things, praises him, great Qian Yuan!

But after checking, I found out that the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang had been used by Emperor Suzong of Tang, and it only took three years to change the reign.

There is something wrong with it! Such a good year number is not cherished at all. It is as painful as those who use names on later generations that have built first-level accounts on the Internet.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao could only continue to choose from the year names agreed upon by his ministers.

Zhang Zhao even considered using Lao Nu's destiny. Later, he thought about it and said that if he was not disgusted, this destiny was too straightforward and had no cultural level at all.

Finally, the ministers sent Xue Juzheng to draft two reign titles, one was Tianzuo and the other was Shaoming.

Damn, Emperor Tianzuo? Zhang Zhao immediately shuddered when he saw it. Although Chengtian's fortune is indeed a good word, it is even more disgusting than destiny!

So Zhang Zhao decisively chose the word Shao Ming. Shao Ming's destiny means taking the destiny of Shao Tianming, which means taking over the destiny of heaven, which is also very consistent with Zhang Zhao's banner of following the heavens and responding to others, restraining oneself and returning rituals.

Moreover, this year's name seemed to have been used by the Li Dynasty in Vietnam only more than a hundred years later, and it is definitely the first one at this time.

So Zhang Zhao immediately issued an order, 946 AD, the first year of Shaoming of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After defining the year number, the last step was to prepare three animals for pigs, cattle and sheep, and do the Tailao ceremony to pay homage to the country. This is the last step for paying homage to the suburbs.

After doing this, Zhang Zhao changed into a big fur coat again. With the support of civil and military officials and the guidance of the guards of the Lubo ceremonial guard, he returned to the Daning Palace, which was renamed Qianyuan Palace.

If the series of sacrifices in the suburbs were Zhang Zhao's family affairs and the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then when we arrived at Qianyuan Palace, this was the most exciting moment for the civil and military officials present.

Because the new dynasty has always been established, it will be awarded great honors and rewarded them with great rewards!

However, Zhang Zhao's founding ceremony was incomparable to the periods of Li Tang and Zhu Ming, because he could not afford such a grand scene and did not have so many professionals.

It is even less than Zhao Da who was more than ten years later, because at that time, after the rule of the emperors of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains was already very rich.

But now, it is still basically devastated, so I can only make a little easier.

Perhaps this ceremony of ascension in the palace was similar to that of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, and was a group of civil and military officials and brothers who followed the world to conquer the world. They happily rushed into the palace, and then waited for the high-ranking officials to pay a lot of money.

Well, maybe it is a little better than Emperor Gaozu of Han. At least Zhang Zhao and the Yiwei Department set up a table plan, and the guards who were residing in the mountains were lined up outside the Zhuque Gate, with flag guards and five robes, and even more, they could gather a large music class that could play elegant music.

After a dazzling ceremony, Zhang Zhao officially sat on the throne of Fengtian Hall. The ministers shouted again, and then submitted a congratulations.

After Zhang Zhao accepted the congratulations from all the ministers, his mother was the Empress Dowager of Heaven, her biological mother was the Empress Dowager of the Holy King, and Queen Cao Yanxi was present.

Zhang Zhaosheng's mother, who regarded the Empress Dowager Li as the Empress Dowager Yingyou, was grateful for her blessing when Zhang Zhao was young.

He respected his biological mother and regarded the Holy Queen Mother as the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and appointed Queen Cao Yanxi as the Empress.

Zhang Zhao performed a bow to the two empress dowagers, while Empress Cao Yanxi performed a bow to Zhang Zhao, and then the three returned to the harem.

Later, Zhang Zhao was granted the title of minister. In terms of titles, Zhang Zhao abolished the founding title of the Tang Dynasty because it required a number of households with fiefs. Zhang Zhao changed to annual salary.

Moreover, he changed the situation of his titles in the Tang Dynasty that he was not as good as some officials, and put a lot of restrictions on titles.

There is no viscount or baron, so that the functions of these two titles will be replaced by martial officials.

Therefore, from the count or above, they are all super-ranked. The ministers and most princes will not be granted the title of princes.

In Zhang Zhao's heart, the King of Yizi basically wants to be granted the title of China.

However, the founding of the country was abolished, but Zhang Zhaote added the four words "hereditary" and "replacement".

Without these four words, the titled title can be inherited as the earl after the death of the titled title, and the grandson can be granted the title of the military official above the Hengban. When the great-grandson is gone, it will be passed down only if the inheritance is passed down.

Therefore, in terms of martial arts, Yan Jin was the leader of the Duke of Jin, and was given an iron certificate for alchemy.

The paper was headed by Cao Yuanzhong, and was named Duke Wang of Qiao, and was given an iron scroll for alchemy.

In addition, Zhang Zhaoyifeng has been working silently. Pei Yuan, who is still in Liangzhou, is hereditary and replaced the Duke of Hedong County.

Next, Bai Congxin was Duke of Kucha County, Yin Yaozi was Duke of Dunhuang County, Ma Yaozi was Duke of Jiuquan County, Ma Shacai was Duke of Zhangye County, Murong Xinchang followed his ancestors, the King of Qinghai, Murong was Duke of Qinghai County, Liu was promoted to Duke of Hotan County, Li Cunhui was Duke of Shouchang County, and Cao Yanming was Duke of Ziting County, all of which were inherited and replaced.

The rest of Guo Tiance was the Marquis of Suoye, the Marquis of Ban Le, Dunzhu was the Marquis of Jinchang, Wang Tong was the Marquis of Wucheng, etc. Even Feng Dao was given a hereditary Jingcheng Bo, which was considered a happy event.

Then Zhang Zhao held a banquet and gave food to the people of Tokyo so that they could celebrate with them.

After the visitors kept giving the cups and drinking, hundreds of civil and military officials got drunk in the palace, but Zhang Zhao became more sober.

Because he knew that although he had taken the most solid step, he still had a lot to do to make this nation no longer slip into the conservative atmosphere after the Song Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
