The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 531 Crowning Ceremony

Gu Chengyu respected all the officials present one by one, and then picked out some people who seemed straightforward, and chatted with them for a few words.This Grace Banquet came to an end when everyone was thinking about it.

Today's banquet, even if Gu Chengyu doesn't want to drink, it won't work.Although most of them dare not come to toast with Gu Chengyu because of Xia Qing's majesty.But Gu Chengyu was regarded as highly valued by the emperor, otherwise he would not have personally bestowed the title.Therefore, there are still twenty or thirty people who are not afraid of Xia Qing's power, and have a good drink with Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu, smelling of alcohol and 30 taels of archway silver, returned to the mansion together with Ye Zhiqiu in a carriage.

Tomorrow, Gu Chengyu will go to Honglu Temple to report for duty, learn the etiquette of court meetings, banquets, sacrifices, etc., and confer official positions.The next few days were very busy, Gu Chengyu went back to the mansion, freshened up and fell asleep.

Gu Chengyu and the others went to Honglu Temple the next day, learned the etiquette for two days, and it was considered complete.After Gu Chengyu held the coronation ceremony tomorrow, the official uniform ceremony will be held at the Meridian Gate the day after tomorrow.

On April 27, the Crowning Ceremony.

Because Old Man Gu and the others are far away in Jingyuan Mansion, Liang Zhirui is in charge of this crowning ceremony.Gu Chengyu had already sent a letter to tell Father Gu about the crown ceremony, and he agreed.

Gu Chengyu didn't invite many people for today's crown ceremony, they were all classmates and friends, as well as a few fellow students whom he met in the capital before, plus three seniors and Jiang Mingyuan, in fact, there were only a few people.

There is only one champion, and this is Gu Chengyu himself.The two masters, this must be a male clan, and none of the Gu clan is in the capital, Gu Chengyu can't help but ignore this.

There was only one guest, the guest of honor was the respected elder who crowned the winner, of course this was none other than Liang Zhirui.

One praiser is to assist the champion to comb hair, change clothes, etc.This Gu Chengyu chose Sun Xian. Sun Xian is both his senior brother and his brother-in-law, so it couldn't be more suitable.

There are three people in the department, who are the ones who prepare the crown for the crowner's tray. This Gu Chengyu naturally chose Zhu Pang, Ye Zhiqiu and Zheng Lun.There are only so many people close to him, and they are all used.

Other people who watched the ceremony included three brothers and their family members, as well as Jiang Mingyuan, who were of the same age.It can be said that compared to the crown ceremonies of other aristocratic families, Gu Chengyu's crown ceremonies are pitifully few.No way, none of his clan is in the capital, otherwise, on the day of the coronation ceremony, the whole clan would have to be invited.

Gu Chengyu had already prepared the ritual utensils and clothes for the coronation ceremony.As early as half a month ago when I wrote the letter, Gu Chengyu told Father Gu that he would let Uncle Gu open the ancestral hall to inform.

The above etiquette is something that Gu Chengyu can't do, so he can only shorten the steps.Although the coronation ceremony is important, but in a hurry, it is unreasonable for him to perform the coronation ceremony in advance, so he decided to keep things simple.

The place where the crowning ceremony is held is naturally the Gu Mansion. In the second main room, there are washrooms and scarves in the hall, just like the layout of an ancestral hall.A room is surrounded by curtains in the northeast of the hall.Gu Chengyu's official uniform will not be available until tomorrow, and he has only worn the number one scholar's uniform for the past few days, so it can only be used as the crown uniform.

The soap shirts, deep clothes, large belts, shoes, combs, and sweeps are all displayed on a table in the middle and east of the east room, with the north as the top.The wine notes and cups are also placed on the table to the north of Guanfu.Futou, hats, crowns and towels are each served on a plate, placed on a handkerchief, and placed on a table at the bottom of the west steps.

After making these preparations, wait until all the people watching the ceremony arrive, and the crown ceremony can be performed at the selected time.

"Chengyu! Everyone is here, the time has come, let's start!" Sun Xian looked at Gu Chengyu who was only wearing a middle coat (instead of a boy's suit), and informed him that the guests had arrived.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Please trouble Brother Sun."

After Sun Xian went out and Liang Zhirui and the others were ready, they announced the start of the coronation ceremony.

Liang Zhirui bowed to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu came out of the room and stood on the right side of the mat, facing the mat.Then Sun Xian took the comb and placed it on the left of the seat, and Xing stood on the left of Gu Chengyu.After that, Liang Zhirui bowed to Gu Chengyu and knelt down impromptu.

Sun Xian impromptu, like Liang Zhirui, kneels down, advances in the row, joins forces, and plunders.When the guest descends, the host also descends, the guest washes up, the host bows to the guest, and ascends the steps to reset.

The deacon is Gu Wan, who enters with a crown and scarf, walks down the next step, takes the crown, holds it, looks upright, goes to Gu Chengyu, and congratulates Gu Chengyu: "On the day of the auspicious month, you will start to add yuan clothes, Abandon Er Youzhi, Shun Er Chengde, Shoukao Weiqi, to introduce Bi Fu." Then kneel down and put a crown on Gu Chengyu.

Sun Xian knelt in with a scarf, Liang Zhirui took it over, and added, Xing, reset, bowed to the crown.The crowned person went to the east room, took off his four shirts, put on dark clothes, enlarged his belt, put on his shoes, went out of the room, stood upright, facing south, and stood for a long time.

The crowning ceremony was extremely cumbersome, and Gu Chengyu's parents were not around, so many steps were skipped.

When it came time to pick up the inscriptions, Liang Zhirui read the congratulatory speech and said: "Etiquette is prepared, and the auspicious day of the month is auspicious, and the ears are announced. The word Kongjia is loved, and it is suitable for fashionable people. It is suitable for fakes and will be protected forever. Said: Jin Yu just."

Gu Chengyu replied: "Although a certain person is not sensitive, he dared not arrive late at night."

Then, he bowed to Liang Zhirui, Liang Zhirui returned the salute and returned.

The final hearing was omitted. Gu Chengyu bowed to all the participants in order to express his gratitude. After everyone returned the salute, the crown ceremony was considered complete.

Gu Chengyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and invited all the guests and friends to drink tea in the flower hall.

"Since you have performed the coronation ceremony, you are naturally an adult. In the future, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't act rashly in everything." Liang Zhirui called Gu Chengyu to his side, and gave another instruction.Gu Chengyu is too young, such a young boy can do the crown ceremony, not to say that there is no such thing in the Dayan Dynasty, but it is also very rare.

"Yes! Disciple, please remember!" Gu Chengyu saluted Liang Zhirui again before going out to entertain the guests.

On the 28th, Gu Chengyu was given a six-rank court crown, court clothes, patched clothes, belts, boots and other things at the Meridian Gate.Since then, he has become a real sixth-rank official.

The next day, the No. [-] Scholar led all Jinshi to the court meeting, and Gu Chengyu wanted to express his gratitude today.

It took Gu Chengyu two days to write the "Thank You Table" to his satisfaction. Most people in the court knew that Xia Qing was against him.It must not be easy for him to enter the officialdom, and he will have to hug his thigh.Looking at Manchu, who has thicker thighs than Xia Qing's?

Of course it is the emperor!As long as Gu Chengyu hugs the emperor's thigh, why worry about his future official career?Therefore, he spent a lot of effort on the "Table of Gratitude" in an effort to satisfy the emperor.

Hundreds of officials enter from the Meridian Gate, and civil and military officials enter from the left and right tuck gates.Originally, according to Gu Chengyu's rank, he was not eligible to go to court, but today he had to present the "Appreciation Form", so he had to go to court with all the civil and military officials.

When entering the Zuoye Gate, Gu Chengyu glanced at the imperial path in the middle, it was only the emperor could walk.It is much more spacious than their left tuck door.

After entering Yemen, Gu Chengyu followed all the officials and stood in line according to rank, waiting for the whip to be fired.After that, you can cross the bridge in order until before Danbi.

　Regarding the coronation ceremony, the author simply wrote a little bit. The coronation ceremony is too complicated, and it is estimated that it will take two chapters to write it comprehensively!I won't waste everyone's point coins, I hope everyone will not be too particular.
