Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 734 The Enthronement Ceremony
Time passed in a flash, and the day when Wu Guofu was established came.

On the outskirts of Hangzhou, a high platform for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was built. On the banks of the Qiantang River, a grand enthronement ceremony will be held.

Many dignitaries, rich families, and common people in the city rushed out of the city after hearing the news.

There is an endless stream of people on the road, but it is orderly.

Under the command of Lu Zheng, Jing Hong, and Lin Juyi, [-] troops were dispatched to maintain order along the way.

Su Chen sent out the Green Shadow Guards, who also acted secretly, mixed in the crowd, and monitored suspicious figures in the crowd.

All the commanding heights that can sneak attack on the convoy on the road are guarded and heavily guarded.

If there are assassins, they can only use the cover of trees beside the road to carry out assassination operations.

Yang Ling'er sat in a gorgeous carriage with the king's flag on it, and accompanied by civil and military officials, went out of the city and went straight to the riverside of the Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven.

Su Chence rode behind the king's chariot, and made arrangements for the actions of the imperial guards, fully displaying what he learned in the 21st century.

With the brigade of imperial guards opening the way, Wang Yu led the way, and the people everywhere gave way and knelt down to worship.

On both sides of the convoy there are two lines of imperial guards, the outer row is armed with high shields, and the inner row is equipped with crossbow arrows, which can be said to be impeccable in defense.

This way, I arrived at the Grand Ceremony location very smoothly, but nothing happened.

Soon, the grand ceremony for the founding of the Wu Kingdom officially began.

Surrounded by civil and military officials, Yang Ling'er led the way to the high platform.

At this time, Han Xizai read the proclamation of the founding of the country, and then blessed Yang Ling'er with the crown.

There is usually a bead curtain on the crown. This kind of crown is called a crown, which is a kind of ritual crown. This kind of headdress originally originated from the Yellow Emperor.

There are 12 multicolored silk ropes in total, each of which has 12 pieces of multicolored jade, which are carefully made. The distance between each piece of jade is one inch, and the length of each rope is 12 inches. They are all fixed. size of.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, they were used exclusively by emperors. During the Han and Sui dynasties, they all used similar crowns, crowns and flat crowns.However, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's crown began to change. It was no longer the Pingtian crown, but the Yishan crown.This crown is only used in major ceremonies.

Yang Ling'er put on the crown and officially ascended the throne as King Wu.

This time, after discussions among ministers, he did not proclaim himself emperor directly for the time being. He was first called King Wu, and then he annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty, swept the southern princes, and unified the south of the Yangtze River.

This can also avoid direct war with Da Song in the early stage.

The next step is to add civil and military officials, and read out according to the canonization list prepared in advance.

Lu Chaoqun, Su Chen, Qi Ying, Wei Dongqiang and others were all made Marquises, while Qian Chu, the former King of Wuyue, is now made the Duke of Yue.

The rest of the hundreds of officials were canonized, and even Wu Yue's old officials were also canonized.

There has been an increase in salaries. This is Su Chen's courage to the court, because his foreign trade has already seen initial results, and the income from the internal treasury can be converted into a part of the salaries of court officials.

On the other hand, when the territory expands, more taxes can be paid, and financial resources will not shrink.

This ceremony of worshiping the heaven and establishing the country attracted more than one hundred thousand people to observe. When many Wuyue officials and common people heard Su Chen's name, they all showed expressions of surprise.

"Is this Su Chen the Su Chen from Southern Tang Dynasty? That Jiang Zuo Su Lang?"

"That's right, it seems to be Jiangzuo Sulang. Because he has a close relationship with Han Xizai and others, and he is the eldest brother of the new King Wu, he has a special status, so he was granted the title of Marquis."

"So, this Su Chen is not dead."

The news spread suddenly, and many people were shocked.

There were people who were not convinced by Hei Yundu and the new Wu regime, but now they are all surprised.

If Su Chen was behind the scenes to make suggestions, Jiangzuo's number one talented person, proficient in strategy, had shocking talents, that's why he defeated Wu Yue's army in this way, from this point of view, Wu Yue's loss was not unjust.

"So it is, so it is!"

At this time, Qian Chu also understood that the reason why his Wuyue Kingdom perished so quickly was probably directly related to Su Chen's behind-the-scenes planning.

Otherwise, it would be inconceivable that these brave and foolish generals of Heiyundu, leading a motley army that was no longer what it used to be, could defeat Wu Yue's army so quickly and occupy Hangzhou City.

If there was Su Chen making suggestions behind the scenes, it would be hard to say, at least from the results, it seems to have worked.

Now no one dares to underestimate this country of Wu anymore.

At this time, Su Chen didn't hide his identity any more, because the new state of Wu needed to gather the hearts of the people, and he needed someone with both ability and political integrity to stand up and appease the people.

He is known as the number one talented person in Jiangzuo, and his fans are all over the south of the Yangtze River. Even in Wuyue Kingdom, there are many fans who have listened to the story of the White Snake and watched the trilogy. Therefore, he can quickly gather people's hearts and popularity in the land of Wuyue and let Wuyue people accept him their regime.

Moreover, Su Chen also wanted to be active in the political arena and the army with his real identity, paving the way for his career as a power minister. In the future, when the time is ripe and Yang Ling'er takes the throne, he can truly become the Lord of the Wu Kingdom.

At that time, it was the founding king, the real emperor.

This was also one of the reasons why Han Xizai and Yang Ling'er finally discussed not directly claiming the title of emperor. They planned to leave it to Su Chen in the future to eliminate the Great Song Dynasty and unify the world. When the time comes, he will be called the emperor and become the great ancestor of the Wu Kingdom.

The grand ceremony was held for two hours, and all kinds of complicated procedures were carried out according to the etiquette, and then the team returned to the city in a mighty manner.

Entering the Jinluan Palace of the Hangzhou City Imperial Palace, Yang Linger sat on the dragon chair of the Jinluan Hall, and she became the new King Wu.And Wu Guo officially established a regular army and a civil and military team, and everything was waiting to be done, and it was flourishing day by day.

At the court meeting, it was discussed when the army went north to conquer Suzhou, Huzhou, Xiuzhou, and Runzhou.

Zhang Zhi, a minister of Wu and Yue, proposed that he write a letter to persuade the governors and generals of the three states to surrender and submit to Wu, so that the soldiers can be saved without bloodshed.

Yang Ling'er agreed, and the matter of persuading the surrender was handed over to Zhang Zhi, the Minister of Rites and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

At this time, Han Xizai proposed to send news of Wu Xinli to the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so that the talents and generals of the Tang State could be anxious to come here to serve.

Yang Linger also nodded and agreed, and issued a seeking order to Wuyue, Nantang, and Jiangbei to recruit talents. Those who have passed the imperial examination, or who have been officials and have no bad records, can be inspected and reappointed.

Moreover, the first imperial examination of the State of Wu will be held in the fall of this year. It is expected to expand the number of successful candidates, open Ennas for the State of Wu, and select more talents.

At this time, Lu Chaoqun stood up and said: "Qizou officials, we will send troops to the old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty next, where the Song Army and Tang Army are anxious, as long as we send troops to conquer, we will be able to regain it and become Wu State." territory."

On this issue, Yang Ling'er had discussed with Su Chen, Han Xizai and others in the army, and it was indeed necessary to use troops on the old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to drive out the Song army.

However, we cannot send all the soldiers and horses, because it will make Wu Yue empty and be controlled by these Wu Yue soldiers and horses, and the foundation of Wu State will be lost.

Therefore, for this expedition, it is planned to recruit many Wuyue soldiers and horses, and reorganize them into several armies for the expedition. This can consume the original troops and send them out to fight again, which can reduce the threat of guarding nearby.

Yang Ling'er said: "For the matter of dispatching troops, please trouble the Privy Council, Shang Shuling, the Ministry of War, and several generals to discuss everything, divide the troops into three groups, send troops to Jinling City, Hongzhou City, and Jingxiang City, expel the Song Army, and rush back to the area beyond the Yangtze River. north."

"Follow the order." Privy Council Lu Chaoqun, Su Chen, Shang Shuling Han Xizai, Minister of the Ministry of War and others stood up together to accept the order, and then discussed the specific matters of sending troops.
