Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 538 Shao Tian Ming ordered the Great Zhou Emperor
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 946 AD, the Shangyuan Festival.

Zhang Zhao, who has been recommended by civil and military officials and the people of Tokyo, wears a twelve-pronged crown on his head, and wears a big fur coat and black clothes in honor of the God of Haotian, and leaves Kaifeng City for the southern suburbs.

The Daqiu Mianfu is the highest specification among the Mianfu. The top coat is painted with six patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and Chinese insects.

Xiashang has six patterns of embroidered Zao, Huo, Fenmi, Zongyi, Fu, and Fu. There are twelve chapters in total, so it is also called Twelve Chapter Clothes.

Before that, Zhang Zhao had already ordered people to build an altar in the southern suburbs of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. The first step in the founding of the country was to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the idea of ​​following heaven and responding to fate was highly respected.

The emperor claimed to be the son of heaven, so when he ascended the throne, he must first worship the god of heaven, earth and Haotian.

However, in this set of ceremonies, Zhang Zhao also added the ceremony of worshiping Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, because Zhang Hui, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was the grandson of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

The surname of the Yellow Emperor was Ji, and the Zhang family came from Ji's surname, and Zhang Zhao took the country name Zhou, which also came from here.

To offer sacrifices to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor means that Zhang Zhao inherited the legal system of his ancestor, Ji, and traced back to his ancestors. Therefore, performing the Zhou rituals and taking the name of the country as Zhou has a legal basis.

At the altar in the southern suburbs, Zhang Zhao bowed down wearing a big Qiu Mian suit, and burned firewood to sacrifice to the God of Haotian.

Then go to the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's tablet and perform the ceremony of kowtow, and then return to the throne, and once again kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the gods of Sheji and offer jade and silk.

After this set was finished, there was a smaller temple next to it, which worshiped Zhang Hui, the ancestor of the Zhang family, and Di Ku, the father of the ancestor Hou Ji, the ancestor of the Ji family.

Both Zhang Hui and Di Ku are the grandsons of the Yellow Emperor. They are brothers, and one is the ancestor of the Zhang family, and the other is the ancestor of the Zhou royal family with the Ji family name.

Sacrificing the two of them alone is also to consolidate the legitimacy of Zhang Zhao, who is Zhang Zhou's successor to Ji Zhou, and to strengthen the inevitability of him restoring Zhou rituals and ending the troubled times.

This set of ceremonies was completed with the assistance of Feng Dao, who was temporarily serving as Minister of Taichang Temple.

No way, the original Taichang Temple Minister had been killed by the Khitan people, and He Ning, Fan Zhi and others did not come out to fight Feng Dao, and Feng Dao was the leader of Wen Dao at this time, so he could only preside over it.

After Zhang Zhaoyi made sacrifices, Feng Dao immediately shouted.

"Licheng! The emperor of the Great Zhou ascended the throne!"

Hearing the ceremony, the de facto prime minister Zhang Xichong led all the civil and military officials, the people and the elderly in the capital, and immediately began to congratulate and dance, calling three people who live long.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao's emperor's reality was officially completed under the witness of the ancestors of heaven and earth.

From then on, he was the emperor of the Central Plains by name.

After Zhang Zhao accepted everyone's three shouts of long live, he went to the Taimiao under the protection and guidance of Lu Bo, where his direct ancestors lived.

In the Taimiao, Zhang Zhao took off the big Qiu Mian clothing and put on the 絺 Mian clothing dedicated to offering sacrifices to the state and ancestors.

The first thing, and almost the only thing, is to go to the treasure book and posthumously honor the ancestors of the fourth generation.

Originally, Zhang Zhao didn't intend to pursue Zhang Yichao in the name of a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but later he found that there was something wrong with doing so.

Because if Zhang Yichao was not named, then according to the order of Zhang's power holders, he could only be named the second generation Guiyi Army Jiedushi, Zhang Yichao's nephew Zhang Huaishen.

But Zhang Huaishen is not Zhang Zhao's direct grandfather!

Moreover, Zhang Huaishen was killed in a coup. This matter has been kept secret by everyone, because it is extremely possible that Zhang Zhao's grandfather, Zhang Huaiding, participated in the murder of Zhang Huaishen.

So if Zhang Zhao didn't pursue Zhang Yichao, it would be too dark and humorous. The first person to be named was not the direct ancestor of the founding father, and there are unspeakable things mixed in.

And it has to be pursued. The rise of the Zhang family and Zhang Zhao in Shazhou came from the lone loyal and rebel army in the northwest. No matter how you say it, Zhang Huaishen is the one that cannot be avoided.

So Zhang Zhao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​making Zhang Yichao a reputation as a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and began to chase down four generations of ancestors in a proper manner.

Among them, the fourth ancestor is Zhang Yichao's father, and Zhang Zhao's great-great-grandfather Zhang Qianyi, who was posthumously named Emperor Yizu Xiao. The temple name Yi and posthumous name Xiao are both beautiful posthumous posthumous titles about morality.

The life of Zhang Qianyi, even Mrs. Zhang herself, is not very clear, so just make a good name for morality.

As Zhang Yichao, the great hero who pioneered the foundation of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao agreed with his ministers that the name of the temple should be Huan.

The posthumous title Li Dao Zhao Ji Sheng Wushen Cheng Ying Rui Zhe Ming Xiao Ding Emperor.

Among them, Lidao Zhaoji Shengwushen Chengyingrui Zheming is a posthumous posthumous title, and filial piety is a posthumous posthumous posthumous title.

Only the word Ding is the posthumous title. It is said to take the benevolence and ability as a group, and the martial arts of Sicheng is called Ding.

They are all praises to Zhang Yichao who raised his troops to establish a foundation, led the Hexi heroes to overthrow the tyranny of the Tubo nobles, and saved the people of all ethnic groups.

The second posthumous Zhang Huaishen, whose temple name is Ying, is said to be Ying when he is outstanding, and his knowledge is roughly Ying.

Zhang Huaishen, as the second generation of the Guiyi Army Jiedushi, after Zhang Yichao went to Chang'an, successfully stabilized the basic situation of the Guiyi Army. Among the second generation of the Zhang family at that time, he really could afford an English word.

Moreover, the posthumous title of Ying has another meaning. This posthumous title also implies that the emperor had internal strife during his reign.

In history, there was a change of Nanpo in the period of Yuan Yingzong, and a change of seizing the gate in the period of Ming Yingzong.

Of course, it is impossible for people in this era to know what happened later, but Zhang Zhao knew it, so he insisted on giving Zhang Huaishen a temple title of Ying.

Because during his reign, Zhang Zhao's grandfather Zhang Huaiding, who was supported by Suo Xun and others, also had internal strife among Zhang's family. Zhang Huaishen, his wife Chen's family and four sons were all killed.

Zhang Huaishen's posthumous title is Huai, and the people think of his benefits as Huai, who lost his position and died called Huai.

As for Zhang Zhao's grandfather, Zhang Huaiding, the temple name was Lie, and the posthumous name was Mourning, and he was called the ancestor of Lie Da Xiao Mourning the Emperor.

The temple name of the ancestors is mostly used for emperors who have reclaimed their family property but created a limited number of emperors.Zhang Huaiding took back the power from his cousin Zhang Huaishen, so he is suitable to be called Liezu.

The posthumous posthumous mourning is just used for mourning for the short reign time and early death in middle age. It is called Liezu Daxiao mourning the emperor. It is suitable for Zhang Huaiding who died after only a few years as Jiedushi after regaining his position.

Zhang Zhao's father, Zhang Chengfeng's temple name Yuan, posthumous name Su, and the title Yuanzu Da Xiaosu Emperor, were determined by the Queen Mother Fengtian.

Yuan took Zhang Chengfeng as the first emperor, and established the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty.

Su was also selected, and the execution was decisive. Su, um, was quite appropriate. When Zhang Chengfeng established the Jinshan Kingdom, he was indeed very decisive in his execution.

After the posthumous title is completed, the ancestral temple of Zhang Zhou's kingdom will be built, and the next year will be the year name. In this regard, Zhang Zhao especially wants to use the year name Qianyuan.

What a noun!

There are four virtues in Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen. Yuan De is the head, representing the beginning of the way of heaven and the beginning of all things. Praise: Great Qianyuan!
But after a search, I found out that Tang Suzong had already used the title of Qianyuan, and it only took three years to change it to Yuan.

Something is wrong!Such a good year name is not cherished at all. It is as painful as those who build a first-class number and occupy their names on the Internet in later generations.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao could only continue to choose from the year names agreed upon by the ministers.

Even Zhang Zhao thought about using the old slave's destiny, but after thinking about it, this destiny is too straightforward, without any level of education.

In the end, the ministers sent Xue Juzheng to draw up two reign titles, one was Tianzuo and the other was Shaoming.

What the hell, Emperor Tianzuo?When Zhang Zhao saw it, he shuddered immediately. Although Chengtianzhizuo is indeed a good word, it is more appropriate than destiny!

So Zhang Zhao resolutely chose the word Shaoming. Shaoming took the meaning of Shao Tianming's destiny, meaning to accept the destiny of heaven, and it also fits Zhang Zhao's banner of obeying the sky and responding to others, self-denial and reverence.

Moreover, this year name was only used by Li Chao of Vietnam more than a hundred years later, so it is definitely the first use at this time.

So Zhang Zhao immediately issued a decree, setting 946 AD as the first year of Shaoming in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After agreeing on the year name, the last step is to prepare the three animals of pigs, cattle and sheep, and make sacrifices to the community as a prison ceremony. This is the last step in the suburbs.

After finishing this, Zhang Zhao changed into the Daqiu Mian uniform again, surrounded by civil and military officials, and guided by the guards of Lu Bo, returned to the Daning Palace which was renamed Qianyuan Palace.

If the series of sacrificial offerings in the suburbs were Zhang Zhao's family affairs and the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then when it came to Qianyuan Palace, this was the most exciting moment for all the civil and military officials present.

Because in the past, when new dynasties were established, they had to confer meritorious officials and reward them generously!
However, Zhang Zhao's founding ceremony is completely incomparable with that of Li Tang and Zhu Ming, because he can't afford such a grand occasion, and he doesn't have so many professionals.

It can't even compare to Zhao Da more than ten years later, because at that time, after the governance of the two emperors of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains was already very prosperous.

But now, it is basically devastated, so I can only save a little bit.

Perhaps this ceremony of ascending the throne in the palace is similar to that of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. A group of civil and military officials and brothers who followed the world rushed into the palace happily, and then eagerly waited for the high officials and rich salary.

Well, maybe it is better than Han Gaozu, at least Zhang Zhao and the Yiwei Division set up a watch case, and the regrettable warriors who came to guard the guards lined up outside the Suzaku Gate, setting up flag poles and setting up five armors, which was even more difficult. A set of big music classes that can play Gagaku.

After a dazzling set of ceremonies were completed, Zhang Zhao officially sat on the throne of Fengtian Hall. The officials once again shouted long live, and then presented their congratulatory forms.

After Zhang Zhao received the congratulations from the officials, his aunt was consecrated to the Empress Dowager Tian, ​​his biological mother was consecrated to the Empress Dowager Sheng, and Queen Cao Yanxi was present.

Zhang Zhaozun's aunt appointed the Empress Dowager Li as the Empress Dowager Yingyou to thank her for protecting Zhang Zhao when he was young.

Respecting the birth mother, the Holy Queen Dowager was named the Empress Dowager, and the Queen Cao Yanxi was made the Queen.

Zhang Zhao bowed to the two empress dowagers, and Empress Cao Yanxi kowtowed to Zhang Zhao, and then the three returned to the harem.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhao enfeoffed all the ministers. In terms of titles, Zhang Zhao canceled the title of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because it required how many households in the city, and Zhang Zhao changed it to an annual salary.

Moreover, he changed the situation that the titles of the Tang Dynasty were too excessive, so that they were not as good as some officials, and he put a lot of restrictions on the titles.

There are no viscounts and barons, and the functions of these two titles are replaced by military officials.

Therefore, from the earl and above, they are all super-grade, and the ministers and most of the princes will not be granted the title of the county king.

In Zhang Zhao's heart, the word king basically wants to be sealed out of China.

However, the founding of the country was cancelled, but Zhang Zhaote added the word hereditary.

Without the title of these four characters, after the knighter's death, the son can inherit the title as earl, the grandson can be appointed as an officer above the military rank, and the great-grandson will disappear immediately. Only hereditary replacements can be passed down.

Therefore, Yan Jin was the leader in discussing martial arts, and he was granted the title of Duke of Jin, and granted the iron certificate of Dan Shu.

Wen Wenzhi was headed by Cao Yuanzhong, and he was granted the title of hereditary Wang in place of Duke Qiao, and bestowed the iron volume of Dan Shu.

In addition, Zhang Zhao deliberately sealed that he has been giving silently, and Pei Yuan, who is still staying in Liangzhou, is the hereditary deputy of Hedong County.

Next, Bai Congxin became the Duke of Qiuci, Yin Yaozi became the Duke of Dunhuang, Ma Yaozi became the Duke of Jiuquan, Ma Shacai became the Duke of Zhangye, Murong Xinchang traced his ancestors to Qinghai King Murong Fu became the Duke of Qinghai, and Liu Zai was promoted to Hetian The Duke of the county, Li Cunhui as the Duke of Shouchang, and Cao Yanming as the Duke of Ziting, are all hereditary successors.

The rest Guo Tiance is the Marquis of Sui Ye, Man Xiong is the Marquis of Chang Le, Dun Zhu is the Marquis of Jin Chang, Wang Tong is the Marquis of Wu Cheng, etc. Even Feng Dao got a hereditary successor to Uncle Jing Cheng, so everyone is happy.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhaoda held a banquet, and even gave food to the people of Tokyo, asking them to join in the celebration.

While all the visitors were pushing cups and changing cups, hundreds of civil and military officials got drunk in the palace, but Zhang Zhao became more sober.

Because he knows that although he has taken the most solid step, he still has a lot of work to do to make this nation no longer follow the history and slip into the conservative atmosphere after the Song Dynasty.

　Yesterday, when I was about to get off work, I was going to fish and finish writing the novel, but I didn't write a few words, so I came to inform, saying that today I will leave work a little earlier and have activities.It was only later that I learned that the farmhouse of the big boss opened, and everyone was invited to eat, drink and have fun for free.

　　This trip will be terrible. The tiger is so drunk that he doesn’t know how to get home. He barely got up to type this morning. I’m really sorry everyone. This chapter that I owe will definitely be made up on the weekend.
