Hello Chang'an Chapter 659

 Before the sky is completely bright, the palace doors are opened one after another, and the solemn sound of bells and chimes floats, calling for the white clouds to come out and the morning sun to rise into the sky.

 In the Manlu Palace, the doors were wide open, and the palace maids and servants were filing in and out.

In the inner hall, after burning incense and bathing, the woman was dressed in a fine silk bright yellow middle coat, with waterfall-like black hair. She stretched her arms in front of the mirror, and seven or eight palace officials dressed her in grand ceremony clothes.

The upper part is a mysterious garment, on which are painted the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects;

 The lower part is Shang, on which are painted Zong Yi, Zao, Huo, Fenmi, Fu and Fu;

There are twelve chapters in total, each with different meanings. They are only allowed to appear on the emperor's uniform at the same time, implying the emperor's supremacy.

The lights in the palace have not been completely extinguished, but a ray of skylight has poured in. Under the blend of lights and skylight, the gorgeous and solemn twelve chapter patterns shine brightly.

Yao Ran stood aside respectfully, looking at the man in military uniform, and suddenly thought of when she first arrived in Jiangdu, shepherd's purse and a group of female soldiers gathered around the girl wearing the uniform of the governor, praising her and saying "she looks good". She was also like this at that time Standing aside, a sudden voice came out of my mind - maybe it could be better.

At that time, Yao Ran was shocked by herself. She didn't know where she came from such a rebellious and shocking delusion. She felt that she was a madman at heart.

 But now her madman's delusion came true.

Yao Ran lost her mind because of this. When she came back to her senses, she saw that her loose black hair had been tied into a neat bun by the palace ladies.

Yao Ran took the twelve crowns and presented them respectfully.

 The canopy of ceremonial guards and ministers are already waiting outside the Manlu Hall.

 Wei Shuyi is the chief priest of today's sacrifice in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and is preparing everything in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

 It was Cui Jing who was waiting outside the Ganlu Hall with his ministers.

The young man is wearing a purple robe, standing quietly in the morning light, like a painting.

Hearing the sound of the servants singing loudly from the palace, Cui Jing raised his hand to salute and welcome the people.

Then, accompanied by the black figure, he left the Ganlu Hall, entered the Chengtian Gate, and went all the way to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices.

This journey was solemn and calm, without any incident, as if even the breeze had its own order, gentleness and clarity.

In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Heavenly Mirror holds a fly whisk in hand and stands beside the altar. Looking around at the peaceful atmosphere between heaven and earth, I feel deep in my heart.

Most people in the world only know the immediate results, but few people truly know where today's new emperor came from and what kind of monstrous disaster she has prevented for the world.

 She reversed the general trend of the world's destiny, and her deeds were worthy of the position of the human emperor, so there was such a peaceful atmosphere in the world.

The sky mirror looked at the woman who was slowly ascending the altar. She was wearing mysterious clothes, but she saw clear light all over her body. This clear light shone through the rivers of heaven and earth, and also illuminated countless dust particles.

With a smile on his face, Tianjing looked at Wujue aside.

Wu Jue rarely showed emotion on his face - at that time, his idea was very simple, he just wanted His Highness to come back.

Li Suining ascended the altar, holding three sticks of green incense, and worshiped heaven and earth first.

Among the concubines, Wei Miaoqing quietly looked at the new monarch above the altar, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although Dasheng had had two empresses before, she had also met one, but the new monarch in front of her was... It still gives people a completely different feeling.

It was difficult for Wei Miaoqing to describe it clearly enough. At a glance, he felt that she was a female monarch full of vigor.

Before the ceremony, an older official once reminded the new emperor who was about to ascend to the throne in a roundabout way that the emperor was just the emperor. Properly blurring the gender distinction would be more conducive to ruling the hearts of the people.

There are many ways to blur the distinction between gender, ranging from transcending gender through the theory of reincarnation of gods and Buddhas to concealing a woman's true appearance in external aspects such as clothing, manners, tone of voice, and descriptions.

But at this time, the new monarch on the altar did not hide her feminine features. She had a pure temperament between her brows, bright eyes, white teeth, a beautiful nose and thin lips. Because she lived in the palace for several months, she developed fair skin. Because he was in a good mood, he did not pretend to be solemn and showed a light air.

She has no lack of strength to support her, so the luxurious and complicated crown becomes lighter on her body, and is not enough to trap or cover up her original self.

She stood there as a complete woman, calm and magnanimous, as she should be, as if a woman born with the ability to create things should be a goddess who dominates everything.

 She is an emperor, a monarch, a saint, and also herself.

 She completely identifies with herself and takes charge of herself.

 She will also be recognized by the world and preside over the world.

The music of Taiping was heard in the imperial city. After worshiping the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the new monarch went to Hanyuan Hall.

Li Suining stepped into the magnificent Hanyuan Hall.

The jade beads on the emperor's crown and the jade stones hanging left and right on the lower side of the robe moved slightly. Under the sunlight, they cast little bits of broken light on the bright and discernible gold bricks, accompanying the new monarch as he walked, shining brightly every step of the way. The stars and the Milky Way are coming.

 Li Suining stepped onto the imperial steps amid the worship of the ministers.

 The person who bestowed the seal on the new emperor was Chu Hui, the former prince Li Shang's mentor.

Taifu Chu entered the Hanyuan Hall on a carriage chair. At this time, he could barely stand up, but his strong and clear demeanor remained unchanged.

He wanted to do something that had been delayed for many years. He wanted to confer the emperor's seal on his students.

When the emperor's seal was handed over, the old man saw the hands that were half hidden under the wide black robes. They were white and slender, with distinct joints, and were engraved with many small scars, which could not be eliminated no matter how much they were cared for.

There was a trace of tears in the old man's always pure and strict eyes. He had always believed that no one in the world was more worthy of receiving this seal than his student.

After the sealing ceremony was completed, Grand Tutor Chu wrote the student's name one stroke at a time on the imperial jade certificate.

Historians are also writing down everything today.

Emperor Princess Li Suining inherited the Li family's orthodoxy and complied with the wishes of the world and the people. She was awarded the emperor's seal in the Hanyuan Hall, ascended the throne as emperor, became the new king of Dasheng, and established Yuan Changhua.

  Hua, for good fortune, Huayu.

The heaven and the earth are the result of creation, and all things come into being. The sun and the moon are in the sky and can shine for a long time; the four seasons change and they can be completed for a long time.

 Hence, the laws of saints change with time, and rituals change with vulgarity.

This young female monarch used this to declare to the world that she would not be a conservative emperor.

 She wants the world to be integrated into her hands and create new opportunities. With normalization, we can build long-term stability and develop the business of governance.

Li Suining sat down on the dragon chair, and all the officials bowed together and then bowed again.

 Amidst the shouts of the mountain, outside the main hall, the imperial guards and the imperial guards followed and worshiped. Above the Golden Palace, under the sky, there are white cranes circling, and in the distance there seems to be the sound of eagles screaming and elephants singing.

Heaven and earth, people and creatures coexist in harmony, creating auspicious atmosphere.

This energy is both invisible and tangible. Along with the sound of bells, it blows out of the imperial city and pours into thousands of households.

There was a lot of noise in the city. In the pavilions, there were singing and dancing. Dunhuang dancers beat drums and scattered flowers, and their clothes and belts whirled and flew. The wine is in golden bottles, and the poet's singing is soaring.

When the sky gets dark, lights are used to continue the day, and the lights of thousands of households are connected, weaving the city into splendor.

  When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be no curfew in the capital for one month, celebrations will be held with the people, and a general amnesty will be granted to the whole country.

The imperial edict of enthronement was also quickly spread to various places via fast horses.

 Luoyang, Henan Road, Huainan Road, all held celebrations.

 In the city of Jiangdu, there was even more excitement - the merchants headed by the Jiang family celebrated the new emperor's ascension to the throne. They set up colorful tents everywhere, held banquets in the countryside, performed dragon and lion dances, and selected sites to build charity halls and schools.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hai was climbing up the ladder to wipe the plaque. The accountant was holding the ladder below, holding the account book in the creaking nest.

Jiang Haizai wiped it carefully for half a quarter of an hour before he was willing to come down.

Mr. Accountant sighed and gestured with his hand: "Master, today alone, you have wiped it eight times!"

"Firecrackers were set off here just now, and the explosion was full of smoke and dust. How can we not wipe it off?" Jiang Hai threw the rag to the waiter aside and walked happily into the shop: "Eight times? This number is auspicious. It shows that His Majesty the Emperor has blessed you. My Jiang family business..."

Mr. Accountant didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out his account book and started to settle the accounts for his boss. The more he calculated, the more painful he felt: "Master, stop it... If you continue to congratulate like this, all the gold mines will be hollowed out!"

　　Earlier, His Majesty fought in the north, and his employer drew a lot of blood.

After His Majesty entered the capital, his employer was worried that the capital's treasury was empty, and His Highness the Princess, who had spent a lot of money in the long war, would not help, so another round of blood was lost.

This time His Majesty has ascended to power, and his boss has come out again... No, there is still bleeding here, there is so much blood, this is simply cutting the flesh!

Mr. Accountant couldn't help but think of the previous one who first came to Jiangdu and took up the post of governor. He accompanied his employer to express his "filial piety". At that time, his employer felt very sad.

　　Why does it hurt so much...My boss is still addicted to pain?

The Jiang family is the head of the salt merchants in Huainan Province. As such a large family, they often dealt with the government offices in the past. In times of disaster, they would express their sincerity to show their loyalty to the court - but this was not the case. Yes, but this is the first time!

Mr. Accountant said this, but Jiang Hai was not happy to hear it. Is this the same?

 Which emperor in the past gave him calligraphy treasures? Which emperor opened a workshop in Jiangdu to build ships and go to sea? Which emperor made his fortune from Jiangdu?

They, Jiangdu, can be regarded as the land of Longxing this time. As the golden rooster on this land, what's wrong with him gritting his teeth and laying a few more eggs? Isn't that appropriate!

At this time, he will suffer a little more. Who is your majesty? He has made clear calculations. Can you let him endure hardships and lay eggs in vain?

 The workshop will not be moved, and the business at sea will continue. The sweet time will be later. This is a long-term approach.

Mr. Accountant just felt a pain in his heart for a moment. Hearing that his boss was open-minded, he didn't say much more. Then he took over his boss's explanation of "Longxing Land" and said: "But Hezhou people say that their place is This is the place where His Majesty the Emperor made his fortune..."

Jiang Hai, who was in a stable mood, suddenly exploded: "It's just fart! Where did you hear that!"

Your Majesty saved them and Zhou and helped them fight off Xu Zhengye, but that was all! How can there be any reason to take away the person and the temple even after being rescued? This is simply greed!

Mr. Accountant explained the source of the news: "They are not the group of salt merchants who came from Hezhou to discuss business..."

Jiang Hai was about to go out immediately to argue with this group of people.

"My boss can't finish his argument!" Mr. Accountant stopped the person: "There is also the Bianzhou side. They said that your Majesty killed Xu Zhengye in Bianshui and became famous..."

“There is also Xingyang! What can I say? Your Majesty prayed for heaven's blessing there... and it was in Xingyang that he got the approval of God's will!”

“Oh, so is Taiyuan. It is said to be the place where His Majesty returned to his clan…”

Jiang Hai glared: "Taiwan was originally the land of Longxing of the Li family! Why do you even want to rob this?"

Mr. Accountant stroked his beard: "Of course no one can have too much of such a good thing..."

Jiang Hai was furious and snorted: "Let them show up. Your Majesty has only served as an official in Jiangdu. Based on this, no one can take away our dragon spirit."

 So he stopped looking for those Hezhou salt merchants: "I have nothing to say to these people..."

 In turn, he asked someone to prepare a gift: “I'll have a drink with Manager Shen later!”

The manager Shen Da in Jiang Haikou's name was Shen Sanmao, who was in charge of Jiangdu's workshops.

Li Suining was a little hesitant about Shen Sanmao's arrangement, so she asked Yao Ran to ask Shen Sanmao about his own wishes and whether he was willing to return to Gyeonggi and join the Ministry of Industry.

Shen Sanmao seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, smiling and shaking his head at Yao Ran.

Even though he joined the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of construction work, he still entered the officialdom. Shen Sanmao admitted that although he was very good at being ingratiating, he was not young anymore and had no experience as an official - It is not the experience of dealing with others, but the experience of being a good official. Maybe one of his feet stepped on the wrong path, and his will was worn out, and he would be in trouble. He would lose this God-given opportunity, and his relationship with His Majesty would be ruined.

He commented on himself to Yao Ran like this: "Although he is good at skills, he has no virtue and is definitely not a talent for governing the country." 】

 He wanted to stay in Jiangdu and continue to focus on developing workshops and manufacturing industries.

Besides, apart from anything else, Jiangdu now has a real money bag. How can it be possible when everyone is gone? He wanted to help His Majesty cover the money bag to avoid leakage of money.

 In terms of self-knowledge, Shen Sanmao and Zheng Chao are quite similar. Although they have their own strengths, neither thinks that he is suitable for officialdom.

 In Wueryuan, Zheng Chao was drinking tea and chatting with two gentlemen.

Zheng Chao was in a good mood and laughed loudly from time to time.

 What he wanted has always been to enlighten the world and promote the teaching of learning. But now that the world is about to usher in a new era, the opportunity he wants is really about to come.

While a few people were chatting, a gentleman said with a smile: "The master of the hospital has not been there for the new king's enthronement ceremony. But when the emperor gets married in the future, the master of the hospital will have to go, right?"

Zheng Chao laughed: "If you want to go, of course you have to!"

 The new king's accession to the throne is a state matter. As a person engaged in academics and politics, there is no reason for him to get involved.

 But when the emperor gets married, this is his family matter. Marrying a nephew is a top priority. How can the uncle not support the occasion?

Zheng Chao and others were eating tea and laughing here, but the other teachers in Wuer Academy gathered together to express their dissatisfaction with the literati in Hezhou - those people took the lead in writing many poems to exaggerate Hezhou and His Majesty The origin of , is simply unreasonable!

 They are not the only ones with pens!

 Gentlemen all agreed that it was time to mobilize the enthusiasm of students to write poems.

 In the following days, the students of Wuer Academy did not forget to examine themselves three times every day - Do you have food? Do you want to learn? Poetry?

As a result, the city of Jiangdu was filled with literary spirit, and the sound of poetry was heard louder than the chirping of cicadas. (End of chapter)
