"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

On the first day of the eighth month, in the Taihe Hall of Linshuo Palace, Yang Gao, who was only eight years old, walked towards the supreme throne in the world in a daze. When he turned south, under the hall, the ministers bowed and shouted long live the mountain. "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!" The echo came back in the sky above the hall for a long time.[..com]

"All my beloveds!" Yang Gao, who had changed from the prince to the emperor, waved his sleeves as he had practiced before. At the moment he waved his sleeves, he seemed to remember his father's appearance. He knew what it meant when he sat in this position. The pride of the emperor bathed him, enveloped him, and completely surrounded him.

"Thank you, the emperor!" The ministers who were kneeling down stood up together. Civil officials, military generals, meritorious officials, counselors... all the officials' uniforms and hats that symbolize the majesty of the empire. They stood up, they were pillars of the empire, and everyone stood up to the sky!

Looking down at the ministers in the hall, Yang Gao was also very moved. As his thoughts were flying, his eyes suddenly swept over Chen Pojun, who was in front of him. He suddenly felt panic, a sense of condescending and coldness at high places! He was young but very intelligent, and finally remembered what his mother said to him in the middle of the night. Even if he became the emperor, he had to listen to him when facing that person. Thinking of this, Yang Gao was temporarily unconscious, and even felt uneasy, and immediately became tight.

When the emperor succeeds to the throne, usually when the former emperor is dying, the ministers and the crown prince are with him. Once the emperor dies, the ministers will immediately pay their respects to the new emperor, which is considered as becoming the emperor. However, the new emperor must go through the throne ceremony to become the emperor legally. Once the ceremony is completed, the new emperor will become the legitimate emperor.

The throne ceremony is an important palace ceremony held for the new emperor to succeed to the throne. The throne ceremony is held within one month after the death of the old emperor. The Han Dynasty usually waits for about one month. The Tang and Song dynasties often held the throne ceremony the next day after the death of the late emperor, and the Ming and Qing dynasties often took about half a month. The Han Dynasty and Ming dynasties first succeeded the throne and then held the throne ceremony, while the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Tang and Song dynasties were held at the same time.

However, the current emperor Yang Guang was not dead. He was just fainting. He was in Taiyuan, so he did not have any letters or decisions from the prime ministers and ministers of the three provinces and six ministries. However, it is now the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the strong are respected and the strength is king. Chen Kefu has hundreds of thousands of troops and has more than 20 counties in his territory. He is also the emperor's son-in-law and the only strange king who holds heavy troops. He is also the Situ who is the throne of the Three Dukes and the Shangshu Ling, the head of the Monks' Secretariat.

Although the procedure was somewhat unruly, the crown prince was the crown prince after all. After the emperor was stunned for more than two months, he could still be said to succeed to the throne in Hebei. After all, even opponents could not do anything to Chen Pojun at this time.

"I ascend the throne today. I respect my father as the Supreme Emperor. I also have a general amnesty for the world. In addition, Hebei, western Liaoning, Liaodong, and Shiwei rent will be transferred for two years, and I will give you one year after another..."

The little emperor sat on the dragon throne that was somewhat inconsistent with his young body, and finally remembered the content he had rehearsed before. He opened his mouth and immediately said the words he had already memorized.

"There is also appointing Chen Pojun as King of Chen, the Grand Marshal of the World, the Prime Minister, and the Situ, in charge of all the government affairs. The nine tins are added, and the fake yellow axe is fake, and they do not go to the court, and they praise and worship. They go to the hall with swords and shoes. They give gold. "The emperor's childish voice came back in the hall.

When he heard this, Chen Pojun, who was standing closest to Yang Gao, was also surprised. During his previous exercise, he did ask Yang Gao to recite a lot of things, many of which were granted the title. However, he did not add his title to him. Anyway, Yang Gao was just a puppet emperor, and everything he had was in his hands. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to add the title to him immediately. Sooner or later, it was the same.

But now the little emperor suddenly claimed the reward, and the content of the reward was shocked. It was normal to add the title of King Chen. After all, he was originally a prince, and it was nothing to advance to another level. However, suddenly he was promoted to the title of Grand Marshal of the World and the Prime Minister, and he had indeed handed over all the powers in the court to himself. Although in fact, even if Yang Gao refused to hand over the powers to him, all this was in his own hands, but it was another matter for him to take the initiative.

There is no need to think about it. Chen Kefu already understood that someone must be teaching the little emperor later. And just thinking about it slightly, he also understood that Yang Gao could not reach others at all during these times, so the biggest possibility of all this was what Empress Xiao gave to Yang Gao.

Especially after hearing the addition of nine tins and fake Huang Yue, he did not go to the court, praised him and said that he was not named, and went to the palace to go to the palace. He was even more sure that this was the sect of Empress Xiao. The fake Huang Yue was the emperor's support. The fake Huang Yue was given the emperor's ceremonial guard to the ministers who led the troops to fight as a token of the emperor, which means that the emperor's power to exercise the power of the conquest. This was quite common during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Even during the Sui Dynasty, prestigious generals could get this.

But adding Jiushi is very difficult.

The nine tins are nine kinds of ritual vessels, which are nine kinds of ritual objects given to the princes by the emperor and those whose ministers have special merits, and are the expression of the highest courtesy.

One is a chariot and horse, which refers to a golden chariot and a large chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a military chariot and a horse. Those who have good virtues are given chariot and horses.

The second is clothing. It refers to a robe and crown, plus a pair of matching red shoes. Those who can comfort the people will give it.

The third is to make music. It is designated sound and sound utensils. Those who make people harmonious and happy will give it.

The fourth is the red house. It refers to the red lacquer gate. It is given to it by many people.

The fifth is to be a rank. It is a special level of erection when climbing the palace, so that those who ascend will not be able to be free. Those who can advance good will be given a rank.

The sixth is called Hu Ben. The number of Hu Ben guards guarding the gate is called 300 people; it also refers to weapons, halberds, thorns, etc. The one who can retreat evil will be given to Hu Ben.

The seventh is palace arrow. It refers to a special red and black special bow and arrow. Those who can conquer unrighteousness will give it.

Eight is an axe. Those who can punish guilty will be given.

Nine is called "Great Crown". It refers to the incense wine used for offering sacrifices and rituals, made of rare black millet and turmeric grass. Those who are filial to prepare their filial piety will give it.

The ceremony of adding Jiuxi has been expressed since the Han Dynasty. It originally meant that the emperor had great honor to his ministers, but ministers generally refused to receive such rewards. However, there were also recipients, and in history, these people who accepted them were very famous. Most of them were usurped ministers. This also made the emperor later become synonymous with usurpation.

Wang Mang was awarded the Nine Tsings by the Han Dynasty, and later established the Xin Dynasty. Cao Cao was awarded the Nine Tsings by the Han Dynasty, and his son Cao Pi established the Cao Wei. Sima Zhao was awarded the Nine Tsings by the Cao Wei, and his son Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty. Sun Quan was awarded the Nine Tsings by the Cao Wei, and later established the Eastern Wu. Huan Xuan was awarded the Nine Tsings by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later established the Huan Chu State. The founding emperors of the four Southern Dynasties Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, and Chen Baxian all received the Nine Tsings from the previous dynasty. Then they founded the Xin Dynasty.

Chen Pojun's ancestors, Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, also accepted the ceremony of adding nine tins of the Liang Dynasty, and usurped the Liang Kingdom and established the Chen Dynasty independently.

Moreover, Chen Kefu also knew that in history, Li Yuan first made the King of Dai Yang You the emperor, and later asked him to add nine xi to himself, and finally established the Tang Dynasty. Wang Shichong, who occupied Luoyang, also asked the Emperor Tailor of the Sui Dynasty to give nine xi to success, and later established his own country name Zheng.

But he didn't expect that now he was the first minister to add Jiuxi from the Sui Dynasty. In this way, it would undoubtedly be like declaring to the whole world that he had established a puppet emperor and planned to usurp the throne. This sudden change made Chen Pojun a little angry.

He couldn't guess for a moment. Is this the one who took the initiative to express good deeds in order to save Yang Gao's life or the one who did it knowingly? After a few turns in his mind, he always felt that how could a woman like Empress Xiao not know about this? It was very likely that it was Queen Xiao's intentional deeds. Maybe it was dissatisfaction with his forced manipulation of the fate of their mother and son, and maybe he was still resentful about the incident that night.

But no matter what, this incident made Chen Kefu very dissatisfied. According to his intention, he appointed Yang Gao as the emperor and had to set up the emperor before others, so that it would be helpful to him to conquer the troops and horses of Hebei, as well as local officials and scholars from all over Hebei. After all, he appointed Yang Gao as the emperor, and the banner he had still set up to respect the Sui Dynasty. In this way, he could better win over the hearts of the army and the people in Hebei. Before the situation was clear, he would not do anything like adding nine tins. Except for causing some people to rebound, it would not have any effect.

The throne ceremony continues, and the rituals are extremely complex.

After the great seal of Chen Pojun, Yang Gao finally made no mistakes afterwards, and everything was done according to the previous teachings. According to Chen Pojun's earlier instructions, Yang Gao respected Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor and Empress Xiao as the Empress Dowager. Others, such as the elder brother, Yang Ming, also added the title of King of Qi, and Yang Zhao's sons, all of them were also added. Even the sons of several uncles were also added. After the royal family was added, the powerful ministers from the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty were added one by one.

Wang Shichong was awarded the title of King of Chu, the Shangshu Youpushe, and the Chang'an left behind. Li Yuan was awarded the title of King of Tang, the Shangshu Left Pushe, and the Jiangdu left behind. Yu Wenhe was awarded the title of King of Xu and Taiyuan left behind. Wei Wensheng was awarded the title of Duke of Qin and Luoyang left behind. Pei Renji was awarded the title of Duke of Wu and the Prefect of Danyang. Yang Yichen was awarded the title of King of Hejian and the Prefect of Xingyang

The official of the imperial edict held a whole box of edicts and read it for more than a day before he finished reading the new emperor's enfeoffment. Chen Kefu was very generous and enfeoffed all the most powerful ministers in the Sui Dynasty today.

Especially those ministers with military power, although the rewards were greatly increased in this edict, it was not that simple. Chen Kefu not only promoted Li Yuan and others, but also directly appointed kings. However, he assigned new official positions to them, and basically the new official positions were not their former base camp. For example, Li Yuan was named King of Tang, and the base camp he had run for a long time was Hedong and Taiyuan, but Chen Kefu asked the emperor to appoint him as the Jiangdu. Everyone in Jiangdu knows that it had been surrounded by the Chen Dynasty army on three sides and was in trouble.

Wang Shichong, who was born in Jianghuai, was named King of Chu, but was named the remains of Chang'an. Chang'an is the old nest of the Guanlong family. Wang Shichong, who was born in Jianghuai, entered the pass, but he took over the territory of Wei Wensheng and Yu Wenji. The other ministers were similar. Danyang County has now been changed to the Jiankang County of the Chen Dynasty. Chen Pojun asked him to be the prefect of Danyang. Wouldn't this allow him to face hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan alone with his own strength? Even if he had 100,000 Hebei troops, he would not be able to deal with the Chen Dynasty.

Such a series of seals are obviously bad intentions. For example, the Li family and Pei family were transferred to Jiangnan, and now they are all territory of the Chen Dynasty, so how can they go? But for Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and others, this reward is very good. Not only is it a king and an official position, but it also gave them all good places such as Taiyuan, Chang'an and Luoyang. They were willing to accept it. However, in this way, it was equivalent to robbing the territory of other people, and all parties would inevitably have many conflicts.

Chen Kefu never thought of achieving any effect with such tricks. He was just a mess. Anyway, whether he was a king or an official, these were just a deal that was open to his mouth and didn't have capital, and he wrote all blank checks. He could open whatever he wanted. If he could really provoke the relationship between various forces, it would be good, and even if he didn't succeed, it would be fine.

If someone really wants to be greedy for those thrones and accepts Yang Gao's will, it would be like a disguised recognition of the Beijing court. If some short rewards can be exchanged for recognition, they will not suffer any loss in the future under the preaching reputation.

After being granted the title of civil and military ministers of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Gao also began to reward the Liaodong Army.

This reward was sincere, and all the winners were the civil and military officials of the Liaodong army. Chen Kefu was quite rude. He had already prepared a large list. Basically, according to the list of the three provinces and six ministries. According to the list of positions, Chen Kefu arranged the civil and military officials of the Liaodong army one by one. Although Yang Gao ascended the throne today, the officials of the court must be his own.

When the time is ripe, just change the emperor and the year name, it will be a new dynasty. So Chen Kefu was very serious about this list and discussed it with the civil and military ministers in Liaodong for a long time. According to the current distribution of responsibilities and official positions of the small court in Liaodong, he transferred all the personnel to the Beijing court. He only made some minor adjustments to the three provinces and six ministries.

Although he had awarded many imperial positions to Li Yuan and others before, Chen Kefu ignored these. Even if he rewarded them, Chen Kefu still rewarded the position to Liaodong civil and military officials again.

After rewarding the civil and military officials in Liaodong, Chen Pojun did not forget these officials in Hebei.

After the army surrendered, the troops were disbanded and reorganized into the Liaodong Army's troops. All officers above the lieutenant were transferred out of the army, some of which were transferred to the martial arts lecture hall for further study, and some became civilian officials. Many even went directly to the post. However, the local officials in various counties in Hebei were more popular with Chen Pojun. The local officials in various counties, except for a small number of incompetent and talented people who were eliminated, most of the officials were demoted and transferred to other places. The more talented people would be allocated and reused.

Yang Gao sat on the dragon throne, holding the gold-inlaid jade seal in his hand, and stamped the jade seals that he had held in front of him. This jade seal was the jade seal that had been passed down from the Qin Dynasty to the Great Sui Dynasty.

As the emperor's jade seal that has been passed down from generation to generation, this jade seal is like the dragon throne, representing the emperor's credit and a symbol of dynasty orthodoxy. Chen Kefu was very surprised when he saw this jade seal. He did not expect that Zhang Jin would bring back Empress Xiao and the prince when he robbed him.

During the siege of Yanmen, the city was in danger, especially when the Turks snatched the West Gate that day, and the emperor also went to the top of the city. Empress Xiao was worried that the jade seal would be missed, so she brought the jade seal with her. Unexpectedly, she was brought to Liaodong by mistake by Zhang Jinyin.

Empress Xiao knew what Chen Pojun meant and knew that he would eventually usurp the Sui Dynasty. For the sake of his son's life, although Empress Xiao hid the Yule Seal very well, she did not dare to hide it all the time. Finally, when Chen Pojun sent Princess Nanyang and Princess Izumo to meet, she also handed the imperial seal to him.

Chen Kefu was naturally very happy to have the imperial seal accidentally obtained. Not to mention that with the imperial seal, Yang Gao's ascension to the throne seemed even more orthodox. Even if he won the world and became emperor in the future, this jade seal was also very needed.

In history, there are many gains and losses in jade seals.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the jade seal was hidden by Empress Xiao, and finally she was taken to the Turkic grassland. It was precisely because of this that Li Tang won the world and had no jade seal. This made Li Yuan and Li Shimin very regretful. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks in a battle, and Li Shimin defeated the Turks and took back Empress Xiao.

After returning to the Central Plains, Empress Xiao brought the jade seal back and presented it to Li Shimin. From then on, Li Tang had the jade seal passed down.

When the dynasty was unified, it was not very important whether there was a jade seal. However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this jade seal was very important for the chaotic world. With the crown prince Yang Gao and the imperial seal, the orthodox spirit of the Beijing court was greatly improved.

With the orthodox xing, although Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and others could not be ordered to obey the orders, it was very important for Chen Kefu to face the newly surrendered Hebei army, as well as the local governments and even the gentry that occupied the land.

Even looking at the jade seal and Yang Gao in the crown robes, Chen Kefu had already planned to let the little emperor directly issue the imperial edicts of Hebei counties and let them immediately join the Beijing court. He didn't believe that Yang Guangyuan was now in the dimwitness in Hedong, and half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River had been lost. Facing the Liaodong army, which was under the northern army. Now with the new emperor Yang Gao and the imperial edict with the imperial seal, would they, the local officials in Hebei still see the situation?
