I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 354 Enthronement Ceremony

October 10, the auspicious time has come.

Before the sky cleared, Wu Changqing got up and put on a dragon robe under the palace maid's costume.

The officials waiting outside got up earlier, and when Wu Changqing came out, everyone went to Zhongshan in the east of the city, where an altar to sacrifice to the sky was set up.

Wu Changqing needs to make a sacrifice to the gods here and tell the gods, now the mortal world is going to change the boss, what do you mean by the old man, do you agree?

Of course, this is the same as burning paper money on Qingming Festival. There is no bird use, but it is a necessary process.

If you dare not burn paper money on Qingming Festival, others will say that you are not filial; If there is a flood or earthquake in the future, others can say that this is the result of disrespecting God.

There is a prerequisite for the eradication of feudal superstition, that is, the cultural level of the whole people has reached a level, otherwise it will be in vain.

Before the literacy rate reached 95%, Wu Changqing would not try to break the feudal superstition.

Therefore, even if Wu Changqing knew that the so-called sacrifice to the sky was a very nonsense thing, he had to go through the process and show it to the officials and the common people.

Just ask, anyway, no one knows if God agrees or not.

Unless Wu Changqing fell blood mold and was struck by lightning when he sacrificed to the sky, then others may interpret it as God does not agree, otherwise God agrees.

Obviously, Wu Changqing was not so unlucky, and the sacrifice to heaven went well.

He dozed off on the Temple of Heaven for a while, and then he was done.

When offering sacrifices to heaven, he was alone on the Temple of Heaven, so he didn't have to worry about others finding out.

As a person who believes in science, it is really difficult for Wu Changqing to be serious when he goes through this superstition process.

When he sacrificed to heaven, he was thinking, if he wrote a memoir when he was old, and told others that he fell asleep during the sacrifice to heaven, he wondered what the heart of the person who read this book would be like.

Think about it, looking forward to it.

After asking God, Wu Changqing buried a set of sacrifices to the sky.

Wu Changqing didn't know what was buried. Anyway, Qian Qianyi took care of this kind of thing. He only needed to be responsible for the process.

After praying to God, the next step is to worship Dad.

His cheap father Wu Zhifan is now posthumously named Emperor Wulie by Wu Changqing, and his spiritual position is placed in a special ancestral temple.

After three worships and five kowtows, the ministers followed Wu Changqing back to the palace, back to Fengtian Temple, and officially ascended the throne.

First, the chief eunuch Feng Debao began to read Zhaowen to Baiguan, telling why Wu Changqing raised his army, how he fought the enemy bravely, and rescued the people from water and fire.

Then he scolded Daming for his immorality again, and he scolded for more than 20 minutes before he finished talking about Daming's fault. Then he emphasized Wu Changqing's helplessness in rebelling and the reasons for his rebellion.

Everything is for the people of the world. This kind of argument can give their regime legitimacy.

After reading these, it is the imperial edict of the founding of the world.

The country name was established as the Dahua Empire, and it was announced that the territory of the Dahua Empire had no boundaries. Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

In short, the land and waters of the whole world belong to the Dahua Empire, and even the Pacific Ocean is no exception. Now those places are only in the hands of aliens, and sooner or later they will all be taken back.

This was specifically requested by Wu Changqing to be added. In this way, there is a legal basis for conquering overseas territories in the future, isn't it?

At that time, it can be said that we are not going to invade, but to recover the territory that belonged to Dahua.

After all, the imperial decree clearly stated that the world belongs to the Dahua Empire, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The era name locates Yongxing, and this year is the first year of Yongxing.

At this point, Wu Changqing was officially proclaimed emperor.

In fact, the original enthronement process is much more complicated and cumbersome than this.

There are rules for every step.

For example, when offering sacrifices to the heavens, and when returning to Fengtian Temple, the emperor wore different clothes, and he had to change his clothes halfway through.

Another example is that the officials need to offer treasures to the emperor, etc.

These symbols are not particularly big rules, they were abolished after being read by Wu Changqing, and a relatively simple process was formulated according to his own preferences.

Wu Changqing didn't care about this kind of thing, and other officials couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him.

Anyway, those ministers were accustomed to Wu Changqing's often unreasonable playing cards, so they all followed Wu Changqing's rules.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After all the ceremonies were completed, the officials knelt down and shouted.

Watching this scene, Wu Changqing felt very strange.

As a person with a modern soul, he is more accustomed to respecting people in his bones, and generally seldom let people kneel. Usually, ministers only need to bow and salute when they meet him.

But now, seeing hundreds of men kneeling in front of him, and thousands of people kneeling outside the hall, it is inevitable that a feeling of pride, pride, pretentiousness and so on will arise in his heart.

This feeling of superiority is really a fatal temptation for men, even if it is just a moment of enjoyment, life will be content and complete.

No wonder, when Li Zicheng was about to break down in Beijing, he had to force an enthronement ceremony. He enjoyed the thrill of enthronement for a moment, and then ran away in a hurry.

Before escaping, he had to experience the feeling of becoming emperor. After all, this is the pinnacle a man can reach.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Wu Changqing speaks a little slower, because he has just been silent.

in the thrill of enthronement.

However, what about being slower? Can others dare to stand up and say something?

No matter what Wu Changqing did wrong, everyone else could only shut up.

After all, he is an emperor, how could the emperor make mistakes?

"Thank you, long live."

The officials stood up one after another.

Everyone looked at Wu Changqing who was aloof and had different thoughts in their hearts.

Some people are very excited. After all, they are about to reward the ministers, and everyone here has a share.

There are also envy, watching Wu Changqing sitting in that position, enjoying the supreme power, many people will envy.

Although, this kind of envy is disrespectful, and people will lose their heads when they know it. However, in the heart of envy, who can see it.

There are also admirers, such as those who followed Wu Changqing's uprising.

They knew very well how weak they were when they got up.

There were only a few hundred people and a hundred guns. In order to survive, Wu Changqing had to personally participate in the night attack.

But under Wu Changqing's leadership, they continued to grow, expand, and finally get to this point.

This experience is legendary, and it cannot be more divine.

Next, Feng Debao read another paragraph of Zhaowen, briefly describing the merits of Xiabaiguan.

Then, it is a single reward.
