708.708: Enthronement Ceremony

Cheng Qing had no time to take care of the troubles of the second wife of the Cheng family.

The throne ceremony arrived as promised.

Meng Huaijin first wore filial clothes to worship the late emperor. Officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the Temple of Heaven, Xiannong Temple and Taimiao to inform the ancestors of the Great Wei that the new king was about to ascend the throne. After this set of etiquette, Meng Huaijin changed his filial clothes and changed to the robe and climbed to the city tower to inform the new king of heaven of the succession to the throne in the situation of sacrificial texts.

Sacrifice to heaven and ancestors is the most likely place to make mistakes in the throne ceremony. If there are any strange phenomena in this process, it is easy to be caught and attacked, saying that Meng Huaijin is not worthy of inheriting the throne.

Only if even the ancestors and God do not recognize each other will the strange phenomenon come from heaven and prevent the wrong people from taking the throne!

Even if Cheng Qing has not experienced such a thing personally, he has seen it in film and television works. The best opportunity for Prince Yu Zhang’s old subordinates is in this link!

Once the etiquette is completed, Meng Huaijin will be a legitimate new king. If there are any abnormal movements, they will be a thief.

The destruction of the emperor cannot be decided by a certain person or force, unless it is a puppet emperor.

Meng Huaijin was obviously not a puppet, he had the edict of the late emperor to pass on the throne!

Cheng Qing didn't want Prince Yu Zhang's old subordinates to cause trouble at the throne ceremony. In addition to preventing assassination, she had to ensure that she was foolproof in every aspect.

On this point, she and the queen and Luo Jun have the same position. The three parties temporarily put aside their prejudices and guard against each other and worked together. Every brick on the city wall was checked and investigated. There would be no "accident" of the queen's Qianqiu Banquet and the palace people stumbled.

Of course, Cheng Qing was willing to believe the Queen and Luo Jun, but these two people might not be willing to believe her, and they were still guarding against her.

Cheng Qing doesn't care either.

The day of the throne ceremony was calculated by the Imperial Heavenly Prison. The Imperial Heavenly Prison is responsible for observing the celestial phenomena, calculating the solar terms and formulating the calendar. The courtiers hope that the throne ceremony will be held as soon as possible. The day selected by the Imperial Heavenly Prison will not only be an auspicious day, but also have a peaceful and beautiful day.

If the new king was reciting the sacrificial text on the city tower and communicating with the gods, and it suddenly rained, how could he continue to recite the sacrificial text?

But the throne ceremony was too anxious. Although the day selected by the Imperial Heavenly Prison was the most recent auspicious day, the Imperial Heavenly Prison was not sure whether it was sunny or not.

They reported their concerns truthfully. After discussing with Chief Gao, Meng Huaijin still set the throne ceremony on this day.

In Cheng Qing's words, what is the rain and wind? If it rains halfway through the sacrificial text, it must be God's sincerity for the new emperor, and he cried with joy!

If the wind blows, it is God who uses the wind to calm the new emperor's anxious heart!

Not to mention wind and rain, even snow and hail, it can be pulled to auspicious things. The literati's mouth is lying to others. This sudden situation cannot be restored. Is it still worthy to share the worries for you? Isn't it a pity to take the salary paid by the court?

Anyway, Cheng Qing said this in front of Gao and others. Gao looked at Cheng Qing and then, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

The shameless courtiers, Chief Gao, have seen many shameless ministers.

A shameless and open-minded person like Cheng Qing is rare for Chief Supervisor.

If Cheng Qing is like this, he can be a loyal minister or a slander. It depends entirely on how the new king guides him.

Cheng Qing set a tone: No matter whether the accident at the throne ceremony was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it must be said to be "auspicious".

At the critical moment, if anyone jumped out and said without a look of the vision, God and the ancestors of the Great Wei do not agree with Meng Huaijin's succession, Cheng Qing felt that it was not necessary for the Jinyiwei to arrest him and interrogate him. On the spot, he could conclude that he was a thief and a spy who was bribed by the Northern Qi people, and he wanted to disrupt the situation in the Great Wei!

For this, Shoufu Gao and others agree.

The Great Wei really can't stand any internal struggle. Can the Northwest withstand a full-scale attack by the Northern Qi cavalry, and can it withstand the second and third times?

The central regime was not unified, and the army of the Great Wei was not obedient.

If Northern Qi increases its troops again... Forget it, Cheng Qing can speak so bluntly, although it is a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger, it is also a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor.

Once he accepted the tone set by Cheng Qing, Gao Shuoxue became an active practitioner.

The celestial phenomena are the responsibility of the Imperial Heaven Supervision. However, the other links of the throne ceremony are the supervisors, Shangbao Division, Jiaofang Division and Honglu Temple, and other institutions. If there is any mistake in any link, the person in charge of the institution will be strictly dealt with strictly. These people are not allowed to supervise them with all their hearts!

When Meng Huaijin was wearing a yellow robe and stood on the city wall to read the sacrificial text, the court officials knelt on both sides of the square outside the Meridian Gate in the way of "wendong and military officials", waiting for Meng Huaijin to finish worshiping the gods.

In this case, women in the harem cannot participate, not to mention that the queen has not recovered from serious injury and cannot leave Kunning Palace at all. She has to send the palace servants to run errands and inform the queen of the latest progress in the ceremony.

When the court officials knelt in the Meridian Square, only Cheng Qing followed Meng Huaijin.

Cheng Qing could feel many snooping eyes.

She didn't know how many of these eyes were Prince Yu Zhang's old subordinates, and how many were just simple envy and jealousy.

She knew that some of the eyes were out of concern.

For example, Mr. Cheng Liu and Lord Mei didn't understand why she was so popular and stood on the city tower with Meng Huaijin.

It’s not because Cheng Qing has a bone-blown hair, but she feels that Meng Huaijin has become the prime minister, so she can be unscrupulous.

It was she who wanted to protect Meng Huaijin in her own way.

Fortunately, others don’t understand, but Meng Huaijin understands it.

After reading the tribute, Meng Huaijin suddenly said to Cheng Qing: "Xiaolang, look at the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles. One day, it will leave your marks of me."

As long as both of them do not change their original intentions, they will eventually bring good changes to the Great Wei.

Looking from the city tower, you can see the entire capital, and you can even see outside the capital.

After the middle of winter, the distant mountain mist was covered with green again, full of vitality.

Spring is here.

The Great Wei Dynasty welcomed a new master.

Cheng Qing couldn't help but nodded, "Senior brother, I believe in you, you must be a wise ruler who has left his name in history!"

A wise monarch needs the assistance of wise ministers, and Cheng Qing has already found his future positioning.

The civil and military ministers knelt under the city tower, and Cheng Qing accompanied Meng Huaijin to accept the worship of the ministers, and his heart was also full of passion. Meng Huaijin walked down the city wall, and Cheng Qing's teacher, Shishang, suddenly raised his head, as if he was about to get up.

Luo Jun was elusive and appeared behind Mr. Zhang, reaching out to press Mr. Zhang's shoulder down.

"Mr. Zhang, today is the throne ceremony. As the Minister of Rites, even if you want to express your loyalty to Your Majesty, you have to wait until you go to Fengtian Palace."

Mr. Zhang's lips moved, and finally defeated Luo Jun's strength: "Cheng Qing was a small official and climbed the city tower with His Majesty. It was not in accordance with the etiquette. As a teacher, I will be responsible for restraining his words and deeds—"

"Shishou Gong."

The Minister of Rites suddenly spoke, "I have not resigned yet. There is no need to question the arrangements of the throne ceremony."

First, there was a minister Huang who was willing to sacrifice his life for Prince Yuzhang, and another minister Zhang who did not look at the occasion appeared. The Minister of Rites was tired.

——Is the Ministry of Rites still the territory of the official?!
