Chapter 787 The Golden Phoenix Cloud Plate
"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang!"
As soon as the dawn appeared, melodious loud bells sounded from the high bell towers in Luoyang City. Unlike the morning report in the past, today's bells were ringing one after another, keeping ringing...
Accompanied by these 108 bronze bells, the entire Luoyang City seemed to be awakened. Then the nine gates of Luoyang City began to open, and countless long-horned drums outside the nine gates sounded, and Hebei troops wearing bright red battle robes and bright armor lined up into the city.
On the eighth day of the sixth month, the Sui Emperor abdicated and the new emperor's ascension ceremony began.
There were lights and decorative colors everywhere in Luoyang City, and all the streets were cleaned three days in advance. Countless Chen-character flags had been inserted throughout the city. Three days ago, 300,000 Hebei troops had gathered outside the city of Luoyang City. This was the largest gathering of soldiers and horses under Chen Kefu, and it was also the largest parade and parade.
The Hebei army, divided into nine parade groups, entered from Jiumen, and then bypassed countless streets in Luoyang City, and finally gathered on Zhuque Yu Street. The two sides of Zhuque Street, which was hundreds of steps wide, have become a sea of people. Countless people are looking forward to the Hebei army entering the city, which had known a few days ago.
A horse rode his horse quickly, and the iron hooves of the war horse hit the stone slabs, making a crisp sound.
"Here, here." Countless people looked up. Sure enough, among the countless sounds of long horns, the first one was a total of fifty heavy cavalry phalanxes of one hundred people. The first square formation that was at the forefront was protecting a huge Chen-shaped flag slowly coming. Fifty knights were all wearing heavy cavalry armor, and they were all covered in the black armor under the red burqa. The war horses were all fifty red war horses. At this time, the vests of these war horses were also covered with red burqa.
The fifty cavalry had a square formation with a uniform lineup and a unified pace, and he was holding Ma Shuo in his hands. He was slowly riding. The long red cloak fluttered in the wind, and the red helmet tassels showed the joyful atmosphere at this time.
The first appearance of this legendary cavalry team undoubtedly made the people who had already been waiting very excited. The legend of the Po Junying camp had been circulating in the Central Plains, but this was the first time they actually saw this army so fully armed. There were bursts of cheers, and the crowds on both sides of the imperial road were happy that they were protected by such a powerful army.
The five thousand heavy cavalrymen in the Pojun camp were like a lead. Wherever they passed, the people raised their hands to cheer and were very excited. They completely ignited the passion of the people of Dongdu and also set off a wonderful start for the military parade.
After a group of troops, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, light infantry, shield infantry, Changshuo soldiers, long spear soldiers, archers, crossbow soldiers, heavy infantry, heavy spear soldiers, heavy sword soldiers, and even engineering battalions, medical battalions, auxiliary battalions, martial arts schools and other troops passed by. Every time, a kind of elite troops appeared in it. One side of the camp flags was allowed to be identified by many people in the eastern capital.
The capital of Luoyang allowed Chen Kefu to shift his focus to the Central Plains with confidence and to the front of how to confront other forces.
The army passed by one after another, without pause, nor did it appear.
The most important task of these armies today is to advance the military parade on Chengtian Gate, Taimiao, Zhuque Street, and today's small task.
Outside the imperial city Chengtian Gate, there were already one elite troops gathered in this huge open square. However, there were too many troops today, so only the most elite troops and those strong troops with battalions would stay here. After passing through Zhuque Street, the other troops would go around and go out from outside the Jiumen, and follow the latest military orders issued by the Ministry of War to various Yingyang Mansion stations.
Although only one small force was left behind, this small force still exceeded 100,000, the elite among the 100,000 Hebei army, and the direct lineage among the direct lineage. The square arrays were neatly arranged on the square, with spears like forests and flags like seas. The shiny armor on the bodies of more than 100,000 soldiers reflected dazzling light.
In front of that sea of people made by countless soldiers were the civil and military officials in Luoyang City, and the nobles and nobles.
There are so many people here just to wait for a decree and a man.
The edict was naturally the abdication edict of Emperor Yang Gao of Sui, and the person who waited was naturally Chen Kefu.
The abdication ceremony must be held in the Taimiao. Although Chen Kefu had already lived in the palace, he had to enter the palace from outside the palace and enter the Taimiao with the support of all officials. Those who went to the Taimiao with Chen Kefu also had to have Yang Gao's abdication edict. Yang Gao first wrote the edict in the palace, and then sent someone to the Chengtian Gate to hand it over to the officials who presided over the ceremony. Then, under the support of all officials, Chen Kefu took the edict to the Taimiao with the edict.
"The throne edict is here!" The ministers who served as the ministers of the imperial edict were three former members of the Sui Dynasty. The ministers who were 80 years old were the political tyrants. Yang Guangshi's admonition was Su Wei Wei. The deputy minister was Wei Shou, the father-in-law of the former crown prince Yang Zhao, and now Chen Kefu's father-in-law. Another deputy minister was Xiao Yu, the younger brother of Empress Xiao, who had been surrendered from Shangluo with Su Wei.
Su Wei, Wei Shou and Xiao Yu were both old ministers of the Sui Dynasty and imperial relatives. At this time, they took on the responsibility of sending the edict outside Chengtian Gate.
The edict of the throne was delivered, but it was not directly given to Chen Kefu. Instead, Su Wei and the other two climbed to the Chengtian Gate Tower, took the imperial seal and stamped the national treasure seal on it, and then verified it with the ministers, and put it in the mouth of a golden phoenix made of gold on the incense table that had been prepared long ago.
The golden phoenix made of gold is extremely dazzling and shining.
"Receive the edict!"
In front of Chengtian Gate, Chen Kefu, who was still wearing King Chen's robe, smiled slightly, and walked out beside him and went forward to receive the imperial edict. This is the official of Chen Kefu's execution. The three ministers responsible for today's execution edict are the Grand Tutor Mao Xi, Sikong Fang Xuanling, and Situ Li Benlei. The three are both literary and military, and Mao Xi represents the clan of Chen Kefu's, Fang Xuanling represents the civil officials, and Li Benlei represents the military of Hebei. The three are not only in a high position, but also have a high prestige. At this time, the three are responsible for this position, which is also an affirmation and honor to the three.
As the envoy of the minister of the Imperial Examination, Mao Xi personally held a lacquered gold and wood plate carved into clouds. Then he slowly walked to Chengtian Gate and held the cloud plate with respect.
Su Wei, Wei Shou and Xiao Yu carefully hung the golden phoenix with colorful ropes and slowly lowered it from Chengtian Gate. The golden phoenix with the edict of passing the throne fell steadily into the cloud disk in Mao Xi's hand.
Golden Phoenix Cloud Pan, the ceremony of this edict has been completed.
At the moment when he received the edict, Chen Kefu was already the most worthy Emperor Chen.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Mao Xi and the other two knelt down to Chen Kefu first, and then more than 100,000 soldiers also knelt down to Jin to meet the new emperor.
The sound of a mountain shouting, like a tsunami sounded.
"Long live, long live, long live!"
"clang!"
As soon as the huge congratulations stopped, the 108th bells on the bell and drum tower finally rang the last bell.
"Flat." Chen Kefu was so energetic that he felt indescribable joy and excitement. He opened his hands and raised them to make everyone get up.
After the ceremony, Mao Xi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please go to Taimiao!"
Chen Kefu nodded and, under the guards, boarded a luxurious golden carriage driven by six pure white horses. The car was decorated with gold and silver, nine meters long and three meters high and wide, just like a small castle.
The car drove slowly, and all officials followed, and countless soldiers and guards followed. After a while, Chen Kefu finally arrived at the Taimiao, which was located in the name of the Meridian Gate. In fact, because Chen Kefu's father proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangnan, there was also a Taimiao in Jiankang City, and all the Chen family ancestors were provided by Chen Baxian.
Arriving at Taimiao and getting off the car, Emperor Yang Gao of Sui had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Chen Kefu entering Taimiao with countless elite soldiers and generals, the young emperor couldn't help but turn pale, and his little hands tightly held Queen Xiao's hand. Queen Xiao looked at Chen Kefu, who was walking slowly from afar, with a kingly face, and turned to look at his panicked young son, and couldn't help but feel complicated.
Chen Kefu first worshiped his ancestors, and then slowly walked towards the abdication platform where Yang Gao was. He had just changed his robe and put on a full set of emperor crowns, carrying the sun and the moon on his shoulders, wearing mountains and rivers, and wearing twelve pearl crowns on his head.
According to ancient rituals, there is a complete set of rituals for abdication. If it is not considered the legendary ancient emperors like Yao, Shun and Yu. Then, the abdication rituals that have not been accomplished have been truly passed down in historical books. Historically, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in Cao Wei, Cao Wei was in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was in the Southern Qi, the Southern Qi was in the Southern Liang, the Southern Liang was in the Southern Chen, the Eastern Wei was in the Northern Qi, the Western Wei was in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou was in the Sui Dynasty. These nine abdications were not far from the moment, and basically, since the end of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties abdicated and replaced in such a way, almost forming an era of imperial dynasty.
Nanchen abdicated from Nanliang, but in the end it did not abdicate, but was directly destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, which was abdicated by Zhou.
Now, Chen Kefu finally destroyed the Sui, the successor of the Northern Dynasty, which destroyed the Chen Kingdom and the Southern Chen lineage, and abdicated to him by the Sui Dynasty. Today's New Chen Dynasty can be said to be the restoration of the Southern Chen Kingdom, or it can be said to be directly inheriting the orthodox of the Northern Dynasties.
Although there is still a Chen Dynasty in the south, and Chen Shen is more orthodox of Southern Chen than Chen established by Chen Kefu, from the perspective of this era, Chen Kefu is the orthodox of this era. Chen Shen's Southern Dynasty is no longer orthodox.
