Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 640 Preparations Before Enthronement
With the passage of time, Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne is also imminent.

The Magna Carta set by Zhao Wen has been completed, and the final draft of the Magna Carta has also been completed.

In the new Magna Carta, Zhao Wen stipulated the name of the country, the year of the founding of the country, and the national flag and national anthem.

As for the national flag and national anthem, Zhao Wen added it later.

At this time, there was no such thing as a national flag and national anthem, but Zhao Wen came from a later generation and felt that if a country did not have a national anthem and a national flag, something would always be missing.

Therefore, Zhao Wen asked people to formulate the national flag and national anthem.

The national flag has a red background and is rectangular. On the upper left corner of the front is a yellow seal character "Hua", and on the reverse upper right corner is a yellow seal character "Xia". The two characters are symmetrical and equal in size.

There are two parallel blue strips in the trumpet of the two characters, one represents the Yellow River and the other represents the Yangtze River.

As for the national anthem, Zhao Wen really struggled for a long time.

After careful consideration, Zhao Wen took out the military song "Han Final Army", which is very famous in later generations.

However, this "Han Final Army" is sufficient as a military song, but it is slightly insufficient if it is used as a national anthem.

Therefore, Zhao Wen improved on the basis of "Han Final Army", and finally came up with the national anthem.

In mid-July, the entire territory of Shaanxi was captured by Zhao Daniu, and Liu Wu also led troops into central Sichuan, preparing to attack south.

Sichuan is mountainous, and with the arrival of summer, it is even more humid and hot, so the speed is much slower.

Zhao Wen's personal guard battalion soldiers and horses have all been transferred into Xuanzhen Town by Zhao Wen, and began to make final preparations for Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne.

Zhao Wen's dragon robe and mian suit have been made. The style of the dragon robe is similar to that of Ming Dynasty. It is a bright yellow Tuanlong robe, which can be divided into casual clothes.

As for the crown suit, nothing has changed.The mian obedience has hardly changed since the day it was born.

Mianfu is the clothes worn by emperors when holding important ceremonies.

The shoulders of Xuanyi are woven with patterns of the sun, moon, and dragon; the back is woven with patterns of stars and mountains; the sleeves are woven with patterns of fire, Chinese insects, and Zongyi.There are two groups of weaving algae, vermicelli, rice flour, and rice grains.

This pattern is the so-called "twelve coats of arms" pattern.

Zhao Wen will wear this mianfu when he ascends the throne.

During this period of time, the number of purchases made by the imperial palace continued to increase day by day, and Zhao Wen's enthronement ceremony also boosted Xuanzhen's economy.

All the details in the palace have also been completed, and the servants who have been arranged are already in place.

As for the eunuchs in the palace, Zhao Wen didn't ask people to re-select them, but only asked them to select some from the captive Prince Daming.

One was because Zhao Wen felt that castration was a bit too much, and the other was because the eunuchs in the palace knew about etiquette very well, so there was no need for further training.

Among these eunuchs, except for those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the rest were so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days when they heard that they were going to work for Zhao Wen.

The Temple of Heaven for offering sacrifices to heaven and the Taimiao where ancestral tablets are stored have also been completed, and all matters related to the enthronement ceremony have been basically completed under Liu Wenzhong's overall planning.

"My lord, all the kings who founded the country must be enshrined for three generations. Please also write down the names of your ancestors and hand them over to me."

In the hall of the Zongbing Yamen, Liu Wenzhong and others looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting on the main seat.

Zhao Wen nodded, then looked at Li Xiaosan who was standing next to him, "Little San, get a pen and paper."

After a while, Li Xiaosan put the pen and paper on the table next to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen picked up the brush, wrote the names of his three generations of ancestors, that is, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, on the rice paper, and handed it to Liu Wenzhong.

Zhao Wen remembered these names very clearly. After all, his father would take him to sweep the tomb every year on Ching Ming Festival.

Moreover, what his father often told him was to let him remember all the names of this ancestor, not to forget it, and to be worthy of his ancestor.

Liu Wenzhong put the rice paper that Zhao Wen gave him into his bosom, and asked again: "Please tell me where the tombs of my lord's ancestors are. After my lord ascends the throne, the tombs of my lord's ancestors will be restored with the emperor's ceremony. Build."

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong with embarrassment. Zhao Wen traveled from later generations. These ancestors of his were not born until more than 300 years ago. Where is the mausoleum?

"Cough cough, I said Mr. Liu, don't you know my background?" Zhao Wen coughed twice, pretending to look deeply at Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong was startled suddenly, and suddenly remembered Zhao Wen's origin.

"I'm being rude, please forgive me, my lord." Liu Wenzhong quickly confessed.

Zhao Wen waved his hand and said, "No problem, no problem!"

"My lord, now that the war in various places is coming to an end, the eighth day of next month is an auspicious day, why not set the enthronement ceremony on the eighth day of next month?" Liu Wenzhong asked.

Before Zhao Wen did not stipulate the specific time of the day of enthronement.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Just follow your arrangement."

Liu Wenzhong cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, ready to go down, but at this moment, Liu Wenzhong suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Zhao Wen hesitantly, and asked, "I don't know how to formulate your lord's family tree?"

Zhao Wen was taken aback for a moment, then realized.

Liu Wenzhong's words were euphemistically asking who Zhao Wen's ancestor was.

Although Liu Wenzhong knew that Zhao Wen's origin was mysterious, the emperor of a country couldn't always use the saying that Zhao Wen was a god when facing outsiders.

After all, this is to be recorded in the history books, at least there must be some credibility, and it cannot be prevaricated by saying that Zhao Wen came from the fairy world.

"My lord's surname is Zhao, and the former Song Dynasty is also the Zhao family, why not..." Liu Wenzhong closed his mouth halfway through speaking.

Although he didn't finish speaking, Zhao Wen was clear about it.

It's nothing more than wanting Zhao Wen to recognize the former Song royal family as his ancestors.

This incident was so common in ancient times that almost every founding emperor would draw famous people in history to be their ancestors.

During the Han Dynasty, the Liu Dynasty said Emperor Yao was their ancestor.During the Tang Dynasty, the Li family said Lao Tzu Li Er was their ancestor.

Almost all dynasties and generations will find a powerful ancestor to improve the rationality of the dynasty they established.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was open and bright.

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne that year, the courtiers planned to designate Zhu Zi as Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor.

But Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed, and said the domineering words, "I am a commoner in Huaiyou, what can the world do to me!"

Zhao Wen was silent. To be honest, he didn't know who his ancestors were powerful, and he didn't want to follow the example of other founding emperors and just randomly choose a powerful person as his ancestor.

After a long time, Zhao Wen said: "Let's draw up the family tree from my great-grandfather. As for the lineage, before I reach me, let's pass it down from one generation to the next. I don't know about great ancestors, and I don't have one."

"But my lord..." Liu Wenzhong still wanted to explain.

"No but, that's it!"

Before Liu Wenzhong finished speaking, Zhao Wen made a decision.

Seeing this, Liu Wenzhong had no choice but to obey Zhao Wen's words.

"The enthronement hall ceremony will be done according to the Ming system." Zhao Wen said.

"I take orders!" Liu Wenzhong saluted.

……

The atmosphere in Xuan Town became more and more festive, and the national flag formulated by Zhao Wen was hung in all the streets and alleys.

Prominent people under Zhao Wen's territory and officials from all over the country also personally or sent cronies to Xuanzhen.

After entering August, the festive atmosphere in Xuanzhen became more enthusiastic. Liu Wenzhong also completed all the procedures for the enthronement ceremony and handed them over to Zhao Wen.

At this time, there were only eight days left before the enthronement ceremony.

Zhao Wen stood in the hall of the Zongbing Yamen, and several servants took the crown and dragon robes that had been successfully made, and put them on for Zhao Wen who was standing in the center of the hall.

This was Zhao Wen's last try on the crown suit and dragon robe, and if they fit properly this time, no further changes will be made.

Before Zhao Wen ascended the throne, Zhao Wen would not wear these clothes again.

In addition to Zhao Wen's clothes, Li Xiaoying's clothes were also made.

Zhao Wen wore the mian suit on his body, and wore the twelve-pronged crown that symbolized the emperor on his head.

Zhao Wen stood in front of the full-length mirror placed in front of him, looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly felt unreal.

"My lord, no, Your Majesty!" Li Xiaosan looked at Zhao Wen in the mirror, and originally called Zhao Wen his lord, but quickly changed his words.

"Your Majesty, this crown suit fits so well. I seem to have seen the day when His Majesty came to the world. Your Majesty is definitely the wisest emperor in all ages."

Li Xiaosan stood beside Zhao Wen, patted Zhao Wen's flattery with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wen smiled lightly and said, "Okay, stop flattering me."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he took off the crown robe on his body, handed it to the servant standing beside him, and changed into the dragon robe at the same time.

After trying on all the clothes, Zhao Wen asked people to seal up all the clothes and take them out when Zhao Wen ascended the throne.

At this moment, Liu Wenzhong walked in.

"I've seen you!" Liu Wenzhong bowed his hands to Zhao Wen.

Liu Wenzhong is a traditional scholar, so he didn't call Zhao Wen His Majesty like Li Xiaosan did.

"My lord, the congratulatory forms and salutes of officials from all over the place are in place." Liu Wenzhong took out a thick booklet from his arms, held it in his hand, and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wendao: "I won't read these things, I will seal them up after checking them clearly."

"Obey!" Liu Wenzhong cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and walked out again.

After Liu Wenzhong walked out of the Zongbing Yamen, he came to the office.

Back at the office, he gathered all the officials of the office in the yard of the office.

Liu Wenzhong stood in front of the crowd, looked at these people in front of him, "There are still eight days left, and the enthronement hall will be held, you people have done the things in your hands well, and no deviation is allowed.

If any of you have the slightest deviation, just be careful, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others. "

The people below shouted: "We will definitely live up to your lord's entrustment."

Liu Wenzhong nodded, and then said: "Zhang Helang, I will assign you a thousand handymen later. After you bring these handymen, I will go to the palace for the final cleaning of the palace.

Remember, be careful when you clean up. Don't make any mistakes. Clean all the places carefully. If there is any place that has not been cleaned, you should be careful. "

Liu Wenzhong is Zhao Wen's father-in-law, and Liu Wenzhong has followed Zhao Wen for a long time, so Liu Wenzhong has great prestige in the hearts of these people.

Zhang Helang bowed his hands to Liu Wenzhong and said, "Follow Master Liu's order!"

"And Sun Yuanhua, you take the craftsmen to inspect the Imperial Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Confucian Temple, and the Martial Temple to prevent mistakes..."

In the following time, Liu Wenzhong made detailed arrangements for these officials in the office.

After the matter was finished, Liu Wenzhong returned to his classroom, sat on a chair, took a long breath, and drank a cup of cold tea.

The tea turned into sweat came out of the pores.

Liu Wenzhong wiped off the sweat from his head, and sighed: "Nothing can happen on the day of the enthronement ceremony, the ancestors bless you, God bless you, the enthronement hall must be completed smoothly."

This is the first time Liu Wenzhong has dealt with such a big matter. For this enthronement ceremony, Liu Wenzhong has not had a good night's sleep for several days.

Liu Wenzhong sat for a while, then stood up again, and walked outside, busy with the enthronement ceremony.

At this time, the surroundings of Xuanzhen's palace have been sealed off.

No one else is allowed to approach within [-] paces around the palace.

The soldiers protecting the palace were Zhao Wen's personal guards, and they were responsible for the security of Zhao Wen's enthronement ceremony.

At the same time, Wu Keshan appeared outside the city gate of Xuan Town with a large number of war horses and carts of treasures.

As soon as they appeared, the defenders outside the city wall surrounded them and conducted a strict investigation on them.

After identifying their identities, the defenders outside the city walls let them in.

As for the war horses brought by Wu Keshan, they were left outside the city by Wu Keshan.

These war horses brought by Wu Keshan are part of Horqin's offering this time.

Wu Keshan is Horqin's vanguard, and Buhe will arrive a few days before Zhao Wen's official ascension to the throne.

Wu Keshan walked into the city gate of Xuanzhen with a dozen or so entourages.

At this time, Xuan Town was heavily guarded, and all the defenders in the city and Zhao Wen's personal guard battalion were locked in every five steps, and every ten steps in a post, closely monitoring all the people in the city.

Every time Wu Keshan took one or two steps, he would be inspected and questioned by these patrolling soldiers.

In addition to Wu Keshan, the tribes on the grassland also sent their cronies or came in person.

Time passed slowly, and two days before ascending the throne, almost all the khans of the grassland tribes who surrendered to Zhao Wen came to Xuan Town.

Zhao Wen's officials in various places also sent their cronies, and some representatives of the army also came.
