Prince of Chaos

Chapter 116 The Crown Prince

The etiquette for the canonization of the crown prince in the Ming Dynasty was the most complicated etiquette for the canonization of the crown prince in all dynasties.

When registering etiquette, everyone has to complete the entire process of etiquette meticulously under the supervision of the correcting officer, otherwise they will be corrected and impeached by the correcting officer.

Because in ancient times, etiquette was more important than everything else!Above the law!
Zhu Changluo's crown prince canonization ceremony was confirmed on the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February in the 21st year of Wanli.

The day before the conferring ceremony, Chen Ju was ordered to set up an incense case for the throne in the Huangji Hall, and placed the special edict case, record case and treasure case in the middle of the hall in front of the throne.

To the east of Danbi in Huangji Hall, a Cebao Pavilion is temporarily set up.All the tribute officials, civil and military officials, and all relevant personnel participating in the canonization ceremony must rehearse the canonization etiquette the day before the canonization ceremony to ensure that the etiquette on the day of canonization is perfect!
On that day, the official who grants the book will stand to the east of the crown prince, facing west; Standing in the west.

On the side of the crown prince, there are also two treasure officials who will be appointed, standing on the west side of the crown prince; there are eight internal officials beside the pavilion, standing on the east side of the pavilion of Danbi; The official stands on the west side of the hall; the Xuanzhi official stands on the northeast outside the hall gate; the two praise officials stand on the south side of the altar.

In addition, there are two Zhibans standing in the middle of His Majesty Dan.There are also two censors who are in charge of correcting instrument standing on the north side of Zhiban;

The civil and military officials are arranged outside the Meridian Gate according to their ranks. The civil officials stand to the west, the military officials stand to the east, and the envoys, monks, and Shelao stand to the south of the civil officials.The civil servants responsible for the affairs of the court and the military officers who defended the court stood in their designated positions.When the imperial edicts, booklets, and treasures in the main hall are placed one by one, the emissaries and supervisors will be responsible for guarding and protecting them.

After a set of etiquette, people can't help but feel dizzy before they move even half a minute. This etiquette is so complicated that it really tortures people to death.Especially for Zhu Changluo, it was simply unreasonable!Just issue a certificate seal, introduce your identity, and let the officials get to know each other, isn't it over?Why is it so complicated!It's like playing dead!

Zhu Changluo waited thousands of times and finally waited for the day of canonization.

In the early morning of February [-], the cold air in the Forbidden City was still there, and there was still a tinge of coldness in mid-spring, but fortunately, the weather was fine, the sky was clear, and there was no cloud on the blue sky, until the sun quietly rose to the east Afterwards, the slightest light of dawn brought some warmth.

The Jinwu Guards guarding the palace at the entrance of the palace are now lined up majesticly on the east and west sides of the Meridian Gate.

The Gongwei Division displays guards of honor in the east and west of Danbi and the east and west of Danbu.Set up ceremonial chariots in the south of Wenlou and Wulou.

The shepherd Dian displayed the horses in Cherenan, and the rigorously trained tigers and leopards were lined up in order outside the Huangji Hall, as if the zoo was in a beauty pageant.

On the south side of Danbi stands a music band, directed by He Shenglang.The drummers and guards of honor escorted the treasures to the Ciqing Palace together, and welcomed Zhu Changluo, the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who will appear as the protagonist of the etiquette!

Civil and military officials all wore brand-new boa robes and official uniforms, and gathered outside the Meridian Gate according to their ranks.

Shang Baoqing and his attendants and guards went to the Qianqing Palace respectfully to welcome the arrival of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli wore the most solemn and luxurious dress, Dagon Mian, and slowly appeared in a wheelchair.

At this time, Zhu Changluo was also dressed in a costume and was standing outside the Huangji Hall, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Wanli.

Surrounded by his attendants, Emperor Wanli left Qianqing Palace, and rode a dragon from Qianqing Palace to Huangji Palace.

Shang Baoqing was holding the seal of Emperor Wanli, and the attendants guided the holy driver, and a group of emperor's royal drivers with complete guards of honor arrived in front of the Huangji Hall.

The palace band in front of the Huangji Hall played the movement of Gagaku.

Emperor Wanli ascended to the throne amidst the majestic and elegant music, and then looked far away, overlooking the entire hall and all the ceremonies in front of the Huangji Hall.

At this time, four solemnly dressed guides led Zhu Changluo, the prospective crown prince, into the Huangji Palace!
Immediately, the drums and music blared!Zhu Changluo bowed to Emperor Wanli in front of Majesty Dan in the Huangji Hall and then stood aside.

The ceremonial officer stood beside Zhu Changluo.

The tribute officer shouted loudly: "Bow!" Under the guidance of the tribute officer, Zhu Changluo bowed again and again to Emperor Wanli on the throne.

After Zhu Changluo finished his obeisance, the official in charge immediately knelt down to Emperor Wanli, and then made the request. Then, the official in charge stood up, stood outside the gate of Huangji Hall, and shouted: "There is a system."

The praise officer shouted in response: "Kneel!"

Zhu Changluo knelt down again.Shoufu Shen Shixing, who was the Xuanzhi official, began to announce: "Following the heavens and carrying the emperor's system, it is said that since ancient times, the emperors have inherited the heavens and set up the poles, and they have governed the Huan area. Worried about Hongxu, trembling at night. I look up to my ancestor Mo Lie, and entrust him with the most important. Cheng Yanqing, Duanzai Yuanliang. The eldest son of the emperor, Chang Luo, has a heroic appearance, a beautiful talent, a noble character, and a deep love for me. Bow. I hereby abide by the empress dowager's benevolent order. The ceremony is carried out, and the public opinion is bowed. I would like to inform the world, the ancestral temple, and the country. On the second day of February in the 21st year of Wanli, Chang Luo was granted the book of treasures. He was established as the crown prince. He was seated in the East Palace, Respect the rule of thousands of years, and tie the hearts of the world. Announce the world, let the people hear about it! I respect this!"

After Shen Shixing finished reading the canonized edict, Zhu Changluo saluted to the canonized imperial edict under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, bowed down, and flattened his body.

After Zhu Changluo finished, the successor knelt on the west side of the Huangji Hall and played back: "The transmission is complete."

Zhu Changluo will pay homage again at this time.

Only at this time did the praise officer announce: "Ceremony in the book."

Then, the etiquette officer guided Zhu Changluo into the hall from the east gate of the Huangji Hall.

The ceremonial officer in the hall then led Zhu Changluo to the throne of Emperor Wanli to pay his respects.

Neizan continued to sing: "Kneel!"

Zhu Changluo knelt down according to his words.

The official who held the book knelt down and held the book before arriving at the case, and solemnly handed it over to the treasurer who read the book.Neizan officer announced: "Read the book."

The treasure official who read the book knelt down and read the book.After reading it, hand the book to the ceremonial officer, and the ceremonial officer solemnly handed it to Zhu Changluo on his knees.Zhu Changluo took over the treasure book, and it was only at this time that the book was completed.

Then, Zhu Changluo handed over the treasure book to the envoy who held the book by his side.

Then began to grant the treasure, which is the seal that symbolizes the crown prince!
The etiquette procedure for conferring treasures is the same as that for conferring treasures. After Zhu Changluo took over the treasures, he handed them over to the envoys and the envoys of the treasures again.

Then, Zhu Changluo knelt down, prostrated himself, and flattened his body amidst the official chants.

Holding the booklet and the treasure envoy leading the way, Zhu Changluo walked out of the hall.The inner envoy put the book and treasure into the surplus box of the book treasure pavilion.

Zhu Changluo paid his respects to His Majesty Dan again.The internal envoy moved the book and the Baoting moved forward.

Only now did Zhu Changluo walk out of the Huangji Hall.

The book and the treasure pavilion were carried to the Ciqing Palace amidst the sound of drums and elegant music from the guard of honor and the welcome and escort of all the officials.

Then, Zhu Changluo went to the Kunning Palace to thank the Queen. After completing these etiquettes, Zhu Changluo finally officially became the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!

However, the ceremony continues!
Zhu Changluo then went to visit the ancestral temple and tell his ancestors non-stop.Along the way of paying homage and offering sacrifices, the people of Beijing stood side by side, vying to see the appearance of the future crown prince. The scene was very spectacular.

After this wave of operations, Zhu Changluo became numb, and just kowtowing almost killed him.He couldn't remember how many kowtows and salutes he had made from head to tail.

It's so hard. . .
