Monument Yangmen

Chapter 854
"Your Majesty...it's time to change clothes..."

Outside the imperial study.

Chen Lin bowed her waist and reminded Yang Qi in a low voice.

Yang Qi put down the pen in his hand, carefully looked at the names of each person on the picture and their corresponding titles, and after confirming that there was nothing to change, he whispered to Chen Lin outside the door, "Immediately order someone to There must be no omissions in the draft edict."

"No~"

Chen Lin immediately asked someone to carry the picture to the side hall, and sent someone to find the draft edict from Zhongshusheren.

Yang Qi was served by Gong'e, washed his face with cold water, drank a cup of strong tea to wake himself up, and began to dress.

A purple gold crown, a dragon robe with black water and black patterns, cloud climbing shoes, and a red and black gold silk belt.

Put on Yang Qi one by one.

That black water black pattern dragon robe was specially selected by Yang Qi.

Black is calm.

Moreover, Yang Qi didn't want the people to avoid too many taboos because of him, so he chose black.

One should wear all the clothes.

Yang Qi stepped out of the palace.

There are no magnificent supports such as canopy and screen fans.

Behind Yang Qi, there were only burly soldiers with armor and blades.

In order to be worthy of Yang Qi's identity, after he returned to Yanjing City, in addition to Zamahe Warrior who had been promoted to the imperial guard, he also added Habayashi Guard, Shenji Guard, Jinjia Guard, and three guards, totaling 5000 people.

Against the backdrop of so many fierce soldiers, the team led by Yang Qi did not have a trace of magnificence, only solemn, solemn, iron-blooded.

In front of Taimiao.

Already crowded.

The civil and military officials were divided into two groups and eight rows according to their seating positions, and stood in unison at the gate of the Taimiao.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing City stood in two rows along the squares and streets outside the Taimiao.

The envoys from other countries who came to watch the ceremony were arranged to wait in a corner outside the Taimiao.

After Yang Qi's team appeared, the subjects paid homage with a tsunami.

"The ministers (casual people) welcome my emperor..."

The uniform salutes are like wind blowing wheat waves, the scene is very spectacular.

Under the attention of all the people, Yang Qi strode to the Taimiao.

Not long after Yang Qi arrived, She Saihua and Lao Yang, accompanied by Gong'e's guards, arrived in front of the Taimiao.

Both of them were wearing luxurious phoenix dragon robes.

"The auspicious time has come~"

The wrestlers pulled their necks and shouted, passing Chen Lin's sharp words into everyone's ears.

Led by Lao Yang, they entered the Taimiao.

The old Shen Lun appeared in front of the Taimiao with vigorous strides and holding a scroll of ancestor worship inscriptions.

"Gai Sanhuang ruled the world, and the five emperors concluded..."

An eloquent and long article, counting the merits and demerits of all dynasties before the Great Yan Kingdom, and it didn't stop until the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Kneel~"

Even though Yang Qi canceled the kneeling ceremony, the etiquette of kneeling to the ancestors of heaven and earth is still indispensable.

Three bows and nine knocks.

The sacrificial rites were burned and went straight to the heavens.

When Yang Qi, under the eyes of everyone, used the incense he brought from the Xuanyuan Ancestral Temple to light the ever-burning lantern in the Ancestral Temple.

A heartfelt sense of belonging arose in the hearts of all present.

Subsequently.

Yang Qi boarded the high platform in front of the Taimiao and lit the Jitianwen.

Then when the green smoke rose into the sky, he solemnly opened his mouth.

"Today, Yan Guoli!"

"See my emperor~"

All the officials and the common people saluted together and shouted "My Emperor".

Yang Qi said with a majestic expression: "My Yang Yansi, I started in Kaifeng... After many disasters, I established the Yan Kingdom. Today, I am on the [-]th Five-Year Plan, and I want to warn all the subjects of the Yan Kingdom.

The establishment of Yan Kingdom is not due to me alone.

But I, thousands of Yan people, worked hard with my life.

Under this land, thousands of loyal people of my Yan Kingdom are buried.

It is no exaggeration to describe it with one inch of mountains and rivers and one blood.

All the people of my Great Swallow must bear in mind that every inch of mountains and rivers is equal to an inch of blood.

All the people of my big swallow must keep in mind that every inch of land will not be given up, and every inch of land will be fought for.

All the people of our Great Swallow must keep in mind that anyone who offends our Great Swallow will be punished. "

"Shu~"

Hundreds of thousands of people knelt on one knee and responded to Yang Qi's words with military salute.

"promise!"

An unyielding soul seemed to rise and condense in the entire Yanjing City, and finally drifted down, becoming the soul of every Yan people.

Today, Yang Qi first ascended to the Great Treasure. As the founding king, every word he said will eventually become a ancestral system, and the Yan Kingdom will never be destroyed and will never change.

Such a strong and iron-blooded ancestral system, regardless of literature and martial arts, is followed by military etiquette.

The reason for this is that the ancestral system mentioned by Yang Qi exists, as long as someone invades Dayan, any citizen of Yan Kingdom, no matter how high or low they are, can turn into soldiers and attack them bravely.

This is the dominance of a Wu emperor.

Yang Qi was very satisfied with the reaction of every Yanren.

He said slowly: "Today, Dingyuan is named Qianyuan, and this year is the first year of Qianyuan. From then on, it will be named Qianyuan for tens of thousands of years."

This sentence shocked everyone.

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as the Yan Kingdom is not destroyed, the country name will always be Qianyuan.

The emperors of all subsequent dynasties cannot change it.

Perhaps, after a thousand years, the world will no longer be measured by the AD, but by Qian Yuan.

……

In the mountains and tsunami, in the excited shouts of the people.

Yang Qi led the civil and military officials to the Qianyuan Hall, the largest in the imperial palace.

And today's scene, along with the mouths of the people and the documents of the imperial court, was passed on to all the subjects of the Yan Kingdom.

Inside Qianyuan Hall.

Yang Qigao sat on the dragon chair.

He looked at the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who were sitting down, and said loudly: "Everyone has gone through hundreds of battles with me to establish the Yan Kingdom, and there are no ones who have made great achievements. You know me, and I also know you.

I don't like generals, high-ranking officials and nobles, you should accept it.

But I won't publish things like Dan Shu iron scrolls.

I don't want you to lie on the credit book and wait to die, and I don't want you to rely on your credit and act recklessly.

And I don't want your children and grandchildren to turn into rice bugs and corrode Dayan because of your contributions. "

When Yang Qi's words fell to the ground, the court was in an uproar.

The ministers talked a lot.

If it weren't for Yang Qi's majesty and profoundness, someone would have jumped out to question him long ago.

Yang Qi glanced at the reactions of the officials, and slowly said: "I know that since the past dynasties, the meritorious officials who have been awarded can use this to deceive several generations and make them rich for a hundred years.

Of course, you have also seen the fate of the past dynasties.

The nobles are corrupt, lying on the court and the common people to suck blood, corroding a huge country full of holes.

Leading to the downfall of one dynasty after another.

This is not what I want to see.

I don't even want to see that some of you will be guillotined because of your meritorious deeds.

I hope that I will have a friendship with you as a monarch and minister. "

however.

Even though Yang Qi explained it this way, the mood of the officials was still not high.

Obviously, the children and grandchildren cannot be allowed to lie on the credit book and be rich for a hundred years, which has touched their bottom line.

However, Yang Qi didn't care, he still said to himself: "I know that there may be a lot of resentment in your hearts at this moment. But the things I have decided will never be changed.

Of course, it is impossible for me to deny the wealth and honor of your descendants.

The national policy of my country of Great Yan is to apply according to quantity.

As long as your descendants are talented and capable, they can be generous, and they don't need to have any scruples to appear as officials in the court.

They don't need to hide clumsiness, let alone wait to die.

I don't suspect anyone.

If your descendants are really capable, even if they are high-ranking officials, I can accept it. "

Yang Qi stood up slowly, raised his voice several times, and shouted loudly: "I am not afraid that any of you has more officials in the court... In a word, those who are capable will go up, and those who are mediocre will go down.

If you have the ability to eat meat, if you don't have the ability to eat chaff.

If you have no ability, no one can blame others. "

When the civil and military officials heard the words, they looked at each other, and slowly bowed their heads to salute, "My emperor is holy..."

Although Yang Qi sealed off the way for their descendants to lie on the credit book and eat riches and honors, he did not completely seal off their way.

It can be regarded as giving them a little comfort.

Especially the civil servants, after hearing Yang Qi's words, not only did they lose their resentment, but they also became more happy.

For them, the method of training their children is far higher than that of military officers.

Now that Yang Qi has opened the door, they don't have to worry about anything anymore, they can definitely put the children of the family into the ranks of officials.

One generation teaches the next, and one generation supports the next.

So passed down from generation to generation.

As long as the scholarly fragrance is not noticed, the wealth and honor of their family will not be determined.

Moreover, Yang Qiliang was only applicable, which greatly inspired the children of these officials' families.

In this way, it will only make their family richer and longer.

Although some generals had resentment in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.

In comparison.

Today, almost all the biggest and strongest in the Yan State Army are surnamed Yang.

The brothers of the Yang family naturally cannot oppose the policy proposed by Yang Qi.

The rest of the people are not qualified to question Yang Qi's policy.

After all the officials saluted, Yang Qi waved to Chen Lin beside him.

Chen Lin nodded slowly, and waved to the ladies behind her.

The ladies of the palace held gold plates, placed one after another imperial edicts, and slowly appeared in the hall.

Yang Qi sat down on the dragon chair.

Chen Lin picked up the first volume of the imperial decree, bowed her hands and saluted, and then began to recite, "The imperial decree says..."

This is an imperial edict to honor the ancestors of the Yang family.

Counting from Lao Yang, it has been traced to three generations of ancestors in one breath.

The second volume is the imperial edict of Lao Yang and She Saihua.

Lao Yang canonized as Yan Gaozu, honoring the Supreme Emperor.

She Saihua canonized as Empress Dowager Cizhao.

In the third volume, the four daughters of Cao Lin were canonized.

Cao Lin was canonized as Empress Xiaozhang, Chuxing was canonized as Concubine Shu, Du Jin'e was canonized as Concubine De, and Huyan Chijin was canonized as Concubine Xian.

The above three volumes of imperial edicts are well known to all officials.

The fourth volume is the imperial edict for the canonization of the prince and princess, which makes all the officials look forward to it.

I saw Chen Lin opened the fourth volume of the imperial edict, and read: "The imperial edict...canonize Yang Yanqi as the eldest princess of the Dai State...canonize Yang Yanying as the eldest princess of the Chen State...canonize Yang Paifeng as the eldest princess of the Wei State The princess...make Yang Zongwei the King of Jin...make Yang Lezhi the King of Ning...make the eldest daughter of the emperor Princess Anle..."

"Wow~"

As soon as the canonized edict came out, all the officials looked at me and I looked at you, with brilliance in their eyes.

Yang Qi has only two sons now, and he has sealed two princes, but he has no intention of establishing a heir.

The message that comes out is huge.

As the founding king of the country, Yang Qi did not establish a reserve, what does it represent?
It means that it is possible to pass on from brother to brother, the order of seniority and so on.

In other words, as long as he is a man of the Yang family, he seems to have a chance to sit on the throne.

In the future, if something like seizing the heirloom occurs, the variables will be great.

Yang Qi saw through the thoughts of all the officials, but didn't say anything.

He did this not so much to add more variables to the seizure of the heir, but to protect his son.

Throughout the past dynasties, those who were established as princes at the beginning of the founding of the country generally did not end well.

He didn't want his son to go the same way.

All the officials were pondering in private, but Chen Lin didn't stop reading the imperial decree.

"The edict said... Canonize Yang Yanping as the King of Tang... Canonize Yang Yanding as the King of Yue... Canonize Yang Yanguang as the King of Zhao... Canonize Yang Yande as the King of Xia... Canonize Yang Yanzhao as the King of Huai..."

Five princes, this is a fixed number.

The officials are prepared for this.

After careful calculation, you will find that the canonization of the Yang family brothers is more or less related to their usual places.

Yang Qi's sisters-in-law have also received certain titles.

The members of the Yang family have been canonized.

Now comes the highlight, all the officials listened with their ears upright, impatient to know what kind of title they could get.

"The imperial edict says... Feng Su Yi Jian the Duke of Lu... Bestow a python robe and a jade belt..."

The first person headed is Su Yijian.

Thus was born the first Duke of Yan.

The officials did not have much objection to the first canonization of Su Yijian.

In terms of seniority, Su Yijian was the first person to follow Yang Qi.

In terms of credit, Su Yijian took root in the Southern Kingdom and worked hard to manage a huge Southern Kingdom for Yang Qi.

His contribution to Yang Qi's establishment of the Southern Kingdom is undoubtedly enormous, and it is incomparable to others in the court.

however.

The officials listened to Yang Qi's reward to Su Yijian, the more they listened, the more gloomy their faces became.

Yang Qi made Su Yijian the Duke of the State, and also bestowed a long list of gold, silver and jewelry, python robes and jade belts, and other things that represented honor.

However, at the end of the year, they didn't hear what they most wanted to hear.

Shiyi.

There is no Shiyi, not even a mention of Shiyi.

When rewarding the princess and prince, Shiyi was not mentioned, and the officials thought that Yang Qi had other plans.

But when it was sealed to Su Yijian, there was still no mention of Shiyi, and the expressions of the officials changed.

Shiyi is the foundation of titles.

Without real estate, the title is just an empty title.

Apart from being taller than others, it has no other use.

In Xungui's family, most of the clansmen, maidservants, servants, guards, and servants who were raised were Shiyi.

Now that Shieup is gone, how can they support so many people?
Yang Qi canceled the iron scroll of Dan Shu, and the officials endured it.

Yang Qi dissuaded the officials from lying on the credit book and waiting to die, and they endured it.

However, without Shiyi, there is only an empty title left.

They can't bear it.

Therefore, without waiting for Chen Lin to read the next edict.

Someone stood up and faced Yang Qi directly.

"I have something to say..."

The person who stood up first had a lot of status.

Although he didn't follow Yang Qi for a long time, he still stood at the front of the court of Yan Kingdom in the shortest time.

He was Zhao Pu who came here from Song Dynasty specially to participate in this canonization ceremony.
