Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1013
On February [-], the dragon looked up.

This is the most beautiful spring in the Vosges. The green branches and spreading flowers embellish the bustling Jade City.

Changsun Tao got up at four o'clock to take a bath, put on the imperial robes made overnight by more than a hundred embroiderers from the imperial bureau, and entered the palace surrounded by guards to hold a grand ceremony.

Almost the whole team of Qilin Guards was dispatched to stand on the street where Changsun Tao passed to prevent assassins from raiding.

The Jinwu Guards, the personal guards of Emperor Yuanwu, were lined up majestically on the left and right sides of Zhengyang Gate, with solemn and solemn ceremonial guards.

The black and red flags embroidered with dragon totems on the walls of the Imperial City stretched into lines and fluttered in the wind.

On the east and west sides of Zhengyang Gate, ceremonial guards are displayed, the carriages are neatly arranged, and the trained horses and tigers and leopards are arranged in order, symbolizing the absolute majesty of ruling the world.

In the south, the musical instruments were set up, and the palace musicians dressed in fine clothes stood in front of the instruments, waiting for the drums to play.

On the top of the 99 steps, Feng Xiang was dressed in a grand official robe, holding a treasure to welcome the crown prince.

All civil and military officials of different ranks, dressed in official uniforms and holding tablets in their hands, gathered in the large open space in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As the presiding officer shouted "the auspicious time has come" and "Welcome the Crown Prince", the musicians played sonorous and exciting music, and all the officials knelt down to greet him.

The Zhengyang Gate slowly opened, and Chang Sun Tao stepped forward in a mysterious robe. His tall figure was set against the luxurious mian robe. His majesty did not need to be deliberately displayed, but it was undoubtedly revealed in every move.

As Changsun Tao came from Zhengyang Gate, Emperor Yuanwu, who was wearing a solemn fur coat and a crown, set off from the Chengming Hall in a chariot supported by his servants. Shang Baoguan held the emperor's seal and guided the emperor there. Main hall.

At this time, the drums and drums were blaring, and the sonorous music was replaced by elegant music. Emperor Yuanwu also walked up to the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and sat down surrounded by this elegant music.

Changsun Tao climbed up the steps, and two ushering officers on each side came to his side, guiding Changsun Tao all the way up to the 99 steps that symbolize the highest position, and stood waiting at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In the main hall, the controller knelt down to Emperor Yuanwu to accept the order. Then, the controller stood up, stood solemnly in front of the throne, and shouted: "There is a system."

Then, the saluting officials walked to Changsun Tao's side and shouted loudly: "Kneel down!"

Changsun Tao knelt down.

At this time, the announcer announced loudly: "The eldest son of King Qi, Sun Tao, is the emperor's uncle."

The salute officer immediately led the salute and shouted: "Prostrate yourself."

"Flat body."

The loud singing of the salute officer resounded throughout the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Changsun Tao followed his guidance, bowed his head and stood still.

In the main hall, the master-in-charge turned around and knelt down, echoing: "The transfer has been completed."

Emperor Yuanwu nodded slightly.

The praise officer heard the voice of the controller and guided Changsun Tao to bow once, then again, and three times.

Then, the salute officer announced loudly: "The registration ceremony will take place."

The ceremonial officer stepped forward and led the prince into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The internal praise officer led the prince to pay homage to the throne. When Changsun Tao stood in front of the throne, he could only hear him singing loudly: "Kneel down!"

"Get up!" After the ceremony, the book-bearing officer came up, knelt down in front of the case, held the book, and solemnly handed it to the book-reading officer who followed him.

After the reading officer got the treasure book, the internal praise officer announced loudly: "Read the book."

The book reader knelt down and read out the book. Feng Xiang came over holding the treasure seal. After reading the book, the book reader placed the book next to the treasure seal held by Feng Xiang.

The treasure book and treasure seals were complete. Feng Xiang knelt down in front of Changsun Tao and solemnly handed over the treasure seals and treasure books to the prince.

Changsun Tao took the treasure book and expressed his acceptance of the registration. He held the treasure book in both hands and handed it to the envoy who was beside him to receive the book.

Finally, Changsun Tao once again prostrated himself, flattened his body, and performed the great ceremony of bowing his head amidst the singing of the praising officials.

After going through a series of red tapes such as the ceremonial officer, the praising officer, the accepting officer, the announcing officer, the internal praising officer, the registering officer, the registering officer, etc., the canonization ceremony was halfway through.

Next, we have to pay homage to the ancestral temple and pay homage to our ancestors, and then the ceremony of enrolment is completed.

Emperor Yuanwu smiled and watched as Changsun Tao got on the chariot prepared for him under the guidance of the ceremony officer.

Waiting for the chariot to move, Feng Xiang led the civil and military officials of the second rank and above, followed by the royal family kings, and left the imperial city together with the prince's honor guard to go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage and sacrifice.

On the way, the people of Yujing City stood in the streets, vying to see the appearance of the future emperor. The long streets were surrounded by water, and the scene was very spectacular.

Lu Mingyong and Sima Xuanmo led the Qilin Guards to maintain order and protect the officials, clan members, and the future prince of Qin.

By this time, this set of red tape had come down, and it was already past noon.

Fortunately, things went smoothly and there were no emergencies.

After all the ceremonial officials in the hall left, Emperor Yuanwu took the tea delivered by Eunuch Lu and drank it all in one gulp. He was deeply saddened by this situation.

"Lu Xing, I am extremely glad at this moment that I have never been a prince. Have you seen it? The emperor's uncle is such a steady and self-possessed person. After the ceremony of enthronement, his face turned blue."

Eunuch Lu responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, King Qi has been waiting outside Zhengyang Gate since the fifth watch. He has knelt up and down all the way, and has been tossing and turning until this moment. It is his determination to maintain such a complexion. Extremely strong.”

Emperor Yuanwu slapped Eunuch Lu on the head with his palm: "Why King Qi? The emperor's uncle is already the crown prince. From now on, the emperor's uncle should be called the emperor's uncle."

Eunuch Lu apologized and said with a smile: "No, the ceremony is not over yet. When the ceremony of enthronement is completed, I will be the first servant to call King Qi the uncle of the emperor."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "For this grand ceremony, my Qilin Guards and Jinwu Guards have been dispatched. I have Ming Yong and King Xingyang to escort me. I hope it can go through smoothly."

"It's just that the enemy's methods are hard to guard against. I'm always worried about something happening."

Eunuch Lu/consoled: "Your Majesty, King Wu is now detained in the Heavenly Prison, and everyone in the Duke of Qi's Mansion has been placed under house arrest by your Majesty. Even the Buddha's Palace of the Queen Mother and Miss Yuzhen is guarded by dedicated personnel who will cause trouble. Everyone is locked up, so your Majesty can rest assured.”

Emperor Yuanwu sighed: "I am worried about Wu Ti. I don't know what tricks he will play this time."

Eunuch Lu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the killed minor officials have been replaced by Your Highness and the Prime Minister, and Wu Ti's disguise has been exposed one after another. I am not worried about him at the moment. I am worried about King Shen. Today He went to the palace to observe the ceremony, and I wonder if he had any evil hidden in his heart."

Emperor Yuanwu asked: "Didn't you send someone to watch him? Did he do anything strange?"

When Eunuch Lu wanted to reply, a young chamberlain hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Yuzhen secretly delivered a letter to King Shen and led King Shen to see her. What should we do?"

Eunuch Lu dismissed the little chamberlain who reported the news, and Emperor Yuanwu made a quick decision: "Yuzhen has been staying in Yingmei Temple for a while. I am not sure whether she was used by Wu Ti and became Wu Ti's minion. Don't alert the snake yet, maybe we can learn from the two of them." It attracts snakes out of people’s bodies.”
