Turbulent Times Chapter 1683: Wang Junlin establishes a country and proclaims himself emperor

On the first day of October, the sun rises and the sky is cloudless.

Yangzhou, after the renovation, there are crowds of people inside and outside the palace.

The Dazheng Hall, which was bound to become the highest power building in the Da'an Empire, was full of people inside and outside, but it was in order.

Today is the day of Wang Junlin's enthronement ceremony for founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor.

Originally, on the first day of October, many courtiers disagreed, because according to various sayings, today is not a good day to establish a country and become emperor.

However, Wang Junlin made a firm decision on this matter without explaining the reason. Instead, the people below secretly speculated that today might be a special day. After all, Wang Junlin had too many miraculous deeds.

What's more, Wang Junlin added later: From now on, the first day of October every year will be the National Day of the Da'an Empire. It made the courtiers secretly think wildly.

Wang Junlin naturally didn't need to personally ask about the specific procedures and arrangements for the enthronement ceremony, and left it to Pei Shiju, an old fellow who had served Yang Jian and Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty, to handle it.

In addition, the Wenxi Pei clan was originally a family of nobles who had been passed down for thousands of years, passing on poems, books, rites and music to the family, and Pei Shiju, as the head of the Pei clan, had a very profound research on etiquette.

In fact, regarding the etiquette required by the emperor, especially the norms of words and deeds during the enthronement process, Pei Shiju came up with a very detailed charter, and even joined forces with Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others to beg and persecute him many times. Wang Junlin.

However, Wang Junlin simply learned the etiquette and manners related to him under the repeated pleading of the ministers.

So, compared to the rigorous and even harsh etiquette when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, the etiquette of the enthronement ceremony of the Da'an Empire today is not particularly rigorous.

Even the dragon robe worn by Wang Junlin can't compare with Yang Jian and Yang Guang's design and workmanship. It's not that the embroidery craftsmanship of the Da'an Empire is not as good as the court craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty, but that Wang Junlin himself doesn't like it. The gaudy clothes, repeated orders to the relevant civil officials who designed the dragon robe must be as simple as possible.

So, the dragon robe worn by Wang Junlin may be the simplest pattern ever. This made many pedantic civil servants quite critical, and even ran to Wang Junlin to play the trick of admonishing him with death because of this, which made Wang Junlin very speechless.

But Wang Junlin's thoughts will never change because of these people's way of playing.

After all, in his view, as long as there is strength and majesty, props are nothing more than a symbol. Isn't the dragon robe on Yang Guang's body exquisite or bright?

Even if Wang Junlin didn't wear the dragon robe, he was still the true ruler of the Da'an Empire.

……

……

According to the procedure of the enthronement ceremony, Wang Junlin first heard a burst of grand and slow music on the imperial chariot. The sound of chime bells and drums was particularly obvious, as well as other musical instruments. Can't hear it.

However, he can still appreciate it. This kind of symphony called "Shao Yue" is very imposing, grand, and solemn, and it is very suitable for use in such ceremonies.

Wang Junlin walked down from the imperial chariot. In order not to let the wide dragon robe on his body and the crown on his head swing too much, his movements were very slow and steady, which made him look very imposing. This is how the tiger step came about.

It's all forced

If you don't walk this way, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the crown above your head falls off? What if you scare some people to death?

Wang Junlin didn't turn his head to look around, but with his eyesight, he could clearly see the scene on the Dazheng Palace Square from the corner of his eye.

Among the thousands of officials and thousands of soldiers, there are still people dancing. A group of men and women holding shields and feathers and dressed like wild men are dancing there, dancing crazily like a god-like weird dance ………

Wang Junlin really didn't understand or even heard of this kind of etiquette procedure. It was done by Pei Shiju, and he said that it was passed down from the dance that the Yellow Emperor danced when he became the lord in ancient times. It can be said to have a very long history.

Yellow Emperor, the ancient ruler, can be said to be the ancestor of the Chinese nation and the beginning of the Chinese nation, so even Wang Junlin was full of interest in this dance, and couldn't help but look at it a little more.

After seeing the Savage Dance, Wang Junlin slowly walked into the main hall through the middle gate.

Wang Junlin was the only one walking around in the whole world.

At this moment, everyone in the audience felt that Wang Junlin had become the core of the whole world, the only one in the world.

He is a true man of destiny.

So, sometimes there must be a ceremony, especially when it highlights the hierarchy, the more solemn it is, the more it can highlight this.

No wonder there were so many etiquettes in the feudal period. In fact, etiquette is often used to highlight the differences between people.

However, Wang Junlin suddenly felt a little lonely at this moment, because no one approached him, and no one spoke to him. Only the sound of chime bells and drums slowly echoed rhythmically between heaven and earth.

However, Wang Junlin was quickly attracted by the group of people dancing in the main hall.

The clothes of these people are similar to those of the barbarians dancing outside the hall, but there are obvious differences. At least the people outside the hall are all men, while the people in the hall in front of them are all women. According to Pei Shiju, this is called external yang and internal yin.

However, one can tell at a glance that it is the so-called handed down from the ancient Yellow Emperor period.

In the main hall, a group of beautiful women in long animal skin skirts and equally weird costumes are dancing weird dances.

However, the moment Wang Junlin stepped into the threshold, they stopped suddenly as if someone had pressed the pause button, then knelt and crawled on the ground, and bowed to Wang Junlin.

Immediately afterwards, they lined up in two neat rows and retreated to both sides in an orderly manner, leaving only the carpet in the middle leading directly to the dragon throne and throne above.

"Ding, Dang, boom, boom..." Wang Junlin heard the strange rhythm in the magnificent melody, and walked forward steadily with his head held high. Nearly a hundred civil and military officials under Wang Junlin's command bowed and stood in the main hall.

Wang Junlin's current movements were simply practiced in advance, and they must be very solemn. His hands were lightly pressed on the belt, and he walked steadily in a straight line with his head held high and his chest held high, and he walked really slowly.

The most important thing is that the neck must be straight during this process, and the head must not move in the slightest, otherwise the crown on the head will be easily crooked.

So, since ancient times, the profession of emperor is actually very tiring. It is not easy even for the actors who played the emperor in the movies and TV dramas of later generations,

Wang Junlin was thinking wildly, but everyone at the scene looked solemn and solemn. Looking at Wang Junlin, their expressions were obviously different from before.

Although they were equally in awe before, it was Wang Junlin's authority that they were in awe of.

At present, apart from the authority of the emperor, there is also the power of the emperor in the dark, and this kind of awe is even more natural.

In addition, while they are in awe, their expressions are extremely fiery, which is somewhat similar to the expressions of religious fanatics when they see their pope or even their gods, but they are obviously different. Perhaps this has become a similar belief is more accurate.

As a result, Wang Junlin gradually immersed himself in this grand and solemn atmosphere from a state of cranky thoughts... It was like acting a play, a play of founding a country and proclaiming the emperor.

Wang Junlin has actually sat on that lofty dragon chair many times before, during practice these days. I sat and played when I came to Yangzhou for the first time.

But now that I sit on it as the emperor of a country, this feeling is very different from before.

According to the practice before, Wang Junlin first turned around to face the main hall smoothly, smoothed the sleeves of his robe gently, sat up straight with his upper body straight, and at the same time released his hands from his belt and put them on his sides on the armrest of the dragon chair.

During this process, the bead curtain on his forehead was still swaying, causing Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials to frown slightly, but then it was replaced by panic.

At this time, the civil and military ministers below had all knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's life is boundless!"

Outside the open palace door, more voices came in: "Long live my emperor... Long live, long live..."

The voices echoed one after another inside and outside the magnificent Dazheng Hall and inside and outside the imperial palace, as if they had been lingering for a long time.

Finally, the music that sounded a bit noisy to Wang Junlin also gradually stopped.

Wang Junlin took a deep breath, put aside the messy thoughts that appeared in his mind, tried to slow down his speech, and said: "Everyone loves you, stay safe."

Wang Junlin didn't deliberately speak loudly, Dantian was a little lucky, his voice had already spread throughout the Dazheng Hall, and even to the square outside the hall, there was no need for the five people Pei Shiju arranged in advance between the entrance of the hall and the square The voice-transmitting servant sends and shouts.

Wang Junlin showed his hand unintentionally, and immediately shocked the civil and military officials and soldiers outside the palace, as well as the tens of thousands of people invited to watch the ceremony. Many people thought of Wang Junlin's various miraculous deeds, and felt unnatural It gave birth to the feeling that Emperor Da'an is the real dragon emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Thousands of people shouted in unison, as if they had rehearsed.

At this time, Du Ruhui, who stood at the head of the group of officials, stepped out, stood at the head, and began to read a volume of articles in person.

This article is naturally gorgeous and wonderful, but at the same time it is also difficult to understand. Even Wang Junlin did not understand a lot of words.

Based on Wang Junlin's current level of classical Chinese, he can still understand some words written on paper, but it will be difficult for him to understand the meaning after reading it like this.

However, Wang Junlin didn't need to pay too much attention to these things. He was at the top right now, looking at some familiar people below, who followed him to conquer the world.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Liu Ziming, Xu Jingzong, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Li Xuanba, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Wei Daoer, Gan Ziqi, Xiong Kuohai, Wang Bodang and so on. Even Luo Yi from Youzhou came here on purpose.
