Water Margin people

On the golden beach, Teng Xun, Ma Jin, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Xuan Zan, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Wei Dingguo, Shan Yangui, Huang Xin, Wureyuan, Wrunun and others led the army in formation at the foot of the mountain. ,

"The auspicious time has come!"

There was a chorus of shouts and a salute of artillery fire above Liangshan. Ling Zhen commanded the salute troops.

Hearing the sound of the salute, on the waterfront, ten battalions of navy troops including Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, Wang Dingliu, Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng, and Hu Yanqing also appeared. The formation arrived outside the golden beach.

There was another salute, and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng led their troops and horses outside the palace halfway up the mountain, lining up on the left and right of the tall altar.

There are also four black flags standing at the four corners of the altar, with patterns of green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu on them. There are also several huge iron trumpets directly in front of the altar.

One team is in red clothes and red armor, and the other team is in white clothes and white armor. The red and white are clearly distinguishable, which is really eye-catching.

"All the generals come to the imperial court to pay homage!"

Wen Huanzhang walked to the altar and shouted loudly. His voice was amplified through the iron speaker and echoed on the golden beach.

Hearing Wen Huanzhang's voice, the generals of each battalion straightened their clothes and came to watch the ceremony near the altar.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Wen Huanzhang shouted again.

Sun Lei walked out of the palace wearing a dragon robe, a crown, and cloud boots.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's soldiers formed two teams to greet Sun Lei.

Sun Lei took the stage, sat on the dragon chair, and looked down at everything below.Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were dressed in costumes and holding Fang Tian painted halberds, one on the left and the other on the right beside Sun Lei.

The soldiers were shouting for victory, and the people were shouting for long live. It took a long time before they stopped.

Gongsun Sheng, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk, walked up to the altar and bowed to Sun Lei.

"let's start!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"Sacrificing to Heaven!"

Gongsun Sheng shouted with a whisk in his hand.

The three animals that had been prepared long ago were brought up, and the whole pigs, cows, and sheep were placed on the altar.

Fan Rui came on stage with a group of Nuo people dressed in sacrificial attire. They wore ghost-headed masks and simple robes and danced sacrificial dances to the music.

Gongsun Sheng instead lit candles, burned incense, and waved a fly whisk to begin the sacrifice.

I have to say that Gongsun Sheng was very good at this. The people watching the ceremony had already started to worship Gongsun Sheng when they saw the immortal and spiritual figure.

Now I saw that when Gongsun Sheng waved his fly whisk, every time a yellow talisman burned, it would be accompanied by thunder and lightning, which was even more shocking.

After Gongsun Sheng performed, he bowed to Sun Lei and left.

"Limin, kneel down!"

Wen Huanzhang stepped forward and shouted.

The people watching the ceremony knelt down one after another. Sacrifice to heaven was not only the emperor's business, but also their business. As long as God was happy and the weather was good, they would have a good life.

Sun Lei took out the sacrificial text and read it, and finally threw the sacrificial text into the cauldron and burned it.

"Three kowtows!"

Wen Huanzhang shouted.

The people began to kowtow and worship.

"Licheng!"

Wen Huanzhang shouted again.

After worshiping the sky, it’s time to worship the ancestors. This is Sun Lei’s performance time, and the sacrifice is extremely grand.

Wen Huanzhang asked Sun Lei about his ancestors before, but Sun Lei didn't dare to answer. It wasn't that he didn't dare to say it, but he was worried that no one would believe him.

Although Wen Huanzhang didn't know why Sun Lei kept secret about his ancestors, he guessed that he might have a bad background and couldn't explain it clearly, so he sorted out the genealogy for Sun Lei himself. Anyway, in the end, Sun Lei became a descendant of Sun Wu, the incarnation of the God of War, and Because the surname Sun comes from the surname Ji, he is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and his status is extremely noble.This kind of thing has been done in all dynasties. Every emperor will beautify his past, including his ancestors, to show his legitimacy.

After worshiping the ancestors, it’s time to receive congratulations.

First, the Liangshan generals shouted in unison, then the soldiers shouted in unison, and finally the people shouted in unison. Sun Lei sat on the dragon chair amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami.

Xiao Jiasui, dressed in court uniform, walked up to the altar and began to read the inscription registered by Sun Lei.

"To the east of the Middle Earth, there is the towering Mount Tai, thousands of miles of water, and there is a great sage... The Yan and Song Dynasties were incompetent, so Qi Shui ruled it... established the country as a unified country, and established the name Shengyuan!"

Xiao Jiasui recited an inscription that few people could understand. As he finished the last sentence, Liangshan was renamed Qi State, and Sun Lei ascended the throne as emperor, with the reign title Shengyuan.

The following is all about Sun Lei. Holding a stack of memoranda, Sun Lei stepped forward and began to recite various matters, some of which demonstrated the legitimacy of Qi State, some of which were related to Qi State's responsibilities, and some of which were promises to the people...

After reading more than a dozen pieces of paper, Sun Lei felt like smoke was coming out of his throat.

After another oath was made, the oath was thrown into the cauldron, and the paper was burned, turned into ashes, and scattered into the sky.

"Licheng!"

Wen Huanzhang roared, and Jiao Ting, Ou Peng and others walked out with a large number of flag bearers and surrounded the altar.

A breeze blew, the flags fluttered, and amid the cheers of long live, the enthronement ceremony was concluded, and the sun was already setting in the west.

The people watched the performance and returned to Liangshan Town with satisfaction. A sumptuous banquet had been prepared. The emperor was going to have a concubine tonight, and there would be a grand event in Liangshan Town.

"It's over!"

Sun Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead. It should be a bit cold in early spring, but he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, where are you now? Tomorrow I will sit in court and appoint all civil and military officials."

Wen Huanzhang smiled and changed his title to Your Majesty.

"If you didn't tell me this earlier, your brother and I are going to get married tonight. Are you going to exhaust me to death?"

Sun Lei glared at Wen Huanzhang, there is no such thing as a cow or a horse.

"Brother, little brother, this..."

Wen Huanzhang changed his title to elder brother again. As a minister and younger brother, he needed to avoid the enfeoffment of civil and military officials. Only Sun Lei Qianggang had the final say on the enfeoffment.

"Come here!"

Sun Lei did not feel bad about Huan Zhang, but waved his hand to summon several military advisors.

"Brother, I'm too busy today. You should make a list first about the enfeoffment tomorrow!"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Li Zhu, Xu Guanzhong, Gongsun Sheng and Zhu Wu and said.

"Brother, we have to avoid this matter, otherwise the brothers will have objections."

Xiao Jiasui said in embarrassment that this official appointment was a big deal, and it was easy to favor one over the other.

"What is there to avoid? Brother, I don't even know what official positions there are. What title? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven?"

Sun Lei looked at several people and said, he has never been an official, nor has he been involved in official circles, and he doesn't even have a clue.

"Yes!"

Several people understood at first glance that Sun Lei had never been an official and did not know enough about official positions in detail.

"Okay, I'm going to take a rest!"

Sun Lei left immediately. In fact, there was another reason why he threw these to several military advisors. Liangshan was now strong in martial arts and weak in military affairs. There were so many generals in hand that the civil servants could count them all with one hand.

What to do?Everyone has the title of general. Qi State only has generals and no other official positions. Isn’t this a joke?

A country is not easy to establish. In addition to declaring the founding of a country, a complete official system is also needed to make a country run in an orderly manner.

They are all generals. What is the difference between that and the previous bandit den? (End of chapter)
