Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 229 The Ceremony of Proclaiming Emperor, Great Qin for Eternity! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

In 23 BC, Qin Wangzheng was 36 years old, and Qin Wang was [-] years old.

It was mid-October, and the autumn wind was blowing between the sky and the earth, the vegetation was shaking, and the trees were gradually turning yellow.

The world is in a state of desolation, the lone bird sings alone, and the monkeys and apes cry mournfully.

The higher you climb, the crisper and colder air hits your face.

When the sky turned slightly white, Zhang Han led the crowd and rushed to the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform. Before holding the emperor's ceremony, he had to check the safety of the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform again.

In the early morning, there was already a thin layer of frost on the ground.

After the sun came out, the thin layer of frost quickly turned into water vapor, and then pairs of soldiers' footprints were densely pressed on the yellowing grass.

The proclaiming emperor ceremony is today.

But within a short time, there was a sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking in the distance.

Zhang Han couldn't help but followed the sound and looked into the distance. He saw a large army coming from Xianyang City.Like black water, it quickly and violently occupied every inch of land.

Cavalry, chariots, infantry, and archers came one after another.

Zhang Han had never fought in a war, but after hearing this voice and seeing this scene, he vaguely remembered the magnificent scenes before Qin went to war with other countries.

Fusu got up and changed into his crown clothes just after dawn.

Today is a very important day for Qin and the entire world.

A powerful empire was officially born.

The master of the country, Ying Zheng, is sitting in a canopy drawn by six tall white horses.

Meng Tian conquered Daidi for Yingzheng, the Dai Wang Zhao Jia was defeated and committed suicide, and Meng Tian then took over Yandi.

At this point, the last threat in Ying Zheng's mind disappeared.

Today, Fusu rode a tall horse with a red mane, following Yingzheng's guard of honor.

Fusu only rode one horse today, without a guard of honor, but he was followed by four younger brothers.

When the ministers looked at it from a distance, they thought they were the close bodyguards of His Royal Highness.

Ying Zheng completed the first great unification of the Chinese nation. In this year, he held a grand ceremony to proclaim himself emperor and issued decrees to the world, which was of great significance.

In fact, Yingzheng's achievements in unification have won him the admiration and praise of many people.

The grand ceremony of proclaiming the emperor was just to complete the ceremony and declare to the ancestral temple and the state that Ying Zheng, the emperor, was in line with the etiquette and law.

This emperor-proclaiming ceremony mainly consists of three parts:
The first is to offer sacrifices to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers to show that Ying Zheng is the emperor; the second is that Ying Zheng swears an oath to heaven and earth that he will be the emperor in the future; the third is Fusu's uniquely designed military parade.

Hundreds of thousands of elite troops gathered in Xianyang of the Qin State to witness the grand ceremony of King Qin Yingzheng proclaiming himself emperor.

Ying Zheng could hear the uniform footsteps of the army from afar, and the sound of the footsteps resounded through the heavens and the earth, and Ying Zheng felt very at ease after listening to it.Thousands of troops and horses are Yingzheng's sharp weapon to hold the world.

Zongzheng arrived at the worship platform early, and stood on the green grass in surong and luxurious clothes, waiting for him to win the government.

Each minister stood in his own position, waiting for Ying Zheng under the altar. Such a solemn and unprecedented ceremony made every minister who was able to participate in this hall feel very proud.

All the ministers, generals, clans and relatives of the Qin State have already been waiting under the sacrificial platform.Wang Jian also brought his grandson to attend the ceremony.It's just that Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and Li Xin are stationed outside and have not yet returned.

The rooftop sacrificial platform is located not far from the Qin Guoji Temple. It is also convenient for Ying Zheng to hold sacrifices to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers before going to the ancestral temple.

Ying Zheng could see the nine-story high platform from a distance, and the nine double-eared tripods on it were also particularly eye-catching.

These nine brand-new tripods were newly built by the best craftsmen in Fusu Ming Qin.

The Jiuding of Emperor Zhou belongs to the old era.

The Great Qin Empire is a brand new era.

In the new era, there should be a new Jiuding!
The mighty army moved over and then stopped.

Under the attention of all the ministers, the driver gently pulled the reins, and then the six white horses stretched their necks toward the sky, sprayed two clouds of white air from their nostrils, and then stopped their hooves.

Wang Wan's old eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

"I respectfully welcome your Majesty."

Ying Zheng got off the carriage and said solemnly to the ministers:
"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zong Zheng then walked up to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please come on stage."

Ying Zheng responded lightly.

Zongzheng shouted:

"Drumming—"

Ten burly men in the audience picked up their sledgehammers and struck the tiger-skin drum with great force.

In front of the formation of the three armies, Meng Wu heard the sound of drums, drew his sword and raised it, shouting:
"Your Majesty is wise! The Qin Dynasty will last forever!"

Soon, all the voices in the world were drowned in the same voice.

"Your Majesty is wise! The Qin Dynasty will last forever!"

Listening to the sound of drums, walking on this high platform, and listening to the deafening shouts of the three armies, Ying Zheng's joy rose to the extreme.

Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Fusu with a smile, and said with his eyes, you are interested.

Although this grand ceremony consumed a lot of human, financial and material resources, it is not such a grand ceremony, how can it be worthy of this eternal emperor.

The historian should record this great event, and the people of the world should also hear about this grand ceremony and feel the prosperity of their new country.

Ying Zheng looked up at the nine-story high platform, but Ying Zheng could only see the third floor.There are thirteen steps on each high platform.

In order to ensure that Ying Zheng reached the highest position in the shortest time with the least effort, Fusu took great pains.

When the location of this high platform was chosen, it was chosen in a place with high terrain, and the army was located at the entrance of the mountains and rivers, where the terrain was low, so that the soldiers could look up to the King of Qin.

Ying Zheng, who was in his prime, was in high spirits. Within half an hour, he led his ministers to the high platform.

After waiting for the stage, Ying Zheng came to the sacrificial altar that had been prepared in the three jails, and made offerings to the sky.

There are rules in Zhou rites. Only the emperor can offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth, mountains and rivers. The princes cannot even offer sacrifices to mountains and rivers.

Cigarette smoke curled up.

Ying Zheng held a cigarette and said sincerely to the sky and the mountains and rivers of the world:

"On the other day, the king of Han accepted the imperial seal and asked him to become a vassal. He made a double agreement and joined forces with Zhao and Wei to join the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, he raised troops to kill him and captured his king."

"I thought it was a good idea, so I stopped fighting. The king of Zhao asked his prime minister Li Mu to come to make an alliance, so he became his hostage. He doubled the alliance and rebelled against us in Taiyuan, so he raised an army to kill him and win the king. Zhao Gongzi Jia Nai established himself as the acting king. , so we raised our troops to destroy them."

"The king of Wei made an appointment to submit to Qin, and then he conspired with Han and Zhao to attack Qin, and the Qin soldiers punished them, so they broke it."

"The king of Jing presented himself to the west of Qingyang and made an appointment to attack our southern commandery. Therefore, he sent troops to kill him, captured his king, and established the land of Jing."

"The king of Yan was in a state of confusion, and his prince Dan Nai secretly ordered Jing Ke to be a thief, and the soldiers killed Prince Dan. Later, the king of Yan asked him to serve as a minister. I, for the sake of the world, accepted his surrender."

"The king of Qi used his later strategy to defeat the envoys of Qin. In order to cause chaos, the soldiers killed his king, captured his king, and leveled the land."

"This is all a conspiracy of the world. Today, the heaven and the earth are sacrificed to tell the spirits."

After all, Yingzheng offered incense to the heaven and earth, and then took over the wine rank, respecting the sky first, then the earth, and then the famous rivers and mountains in the world.

Then Zongzheng came to power and issued an edict to his ministers and generals:
"Now, Your Majesty, with his own body, raises troops to quell the riots. Thanks to the spirit of the ancestral temple, the six kings have betrayed him, and the world has been settled. If the name is not changed, it cannot be called a success and passed on to future generations."

"In the past, the Five Emperors' territory was thousands of miles away, and the emperor could not control the foreign princes who submitted to the barbarians or other princes. Nowadays, the few people raise righteous soldiers, punish the remaining thieves, and pacify the world. The sea is divided into prefectures and counties, and the laws are unified. This has never happened since ancient times. The Five Emperors less than."

"In ancient times, there were emperors of heaven, emperors of earth, and emperors of Thailand. The emperor of Thailand was the most noble. "Removing 'Tai', taking 'emperor', taking the ancient title of 'emperor', and calling it 'emperor'. "

"The order is called 'Zhi', the order is called 'Edict', and the emperor calls himself 'I'."

Zongzheng accepted the edict.

The ministers paid homage to Ying Zheng.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty the Emperor."

"Exemption."

…………

After going through a series of complicated etiquette procedures one by one, Ying Zheng raised his title again and said to the ministers:
"I am the first emperor. The future generations will be counted, the second generation and the third generation will be passed on to all generations, and it will be passed on endlessly."

　Regarding seasonal weather and seasons, I feel I need to apologize to everyone.

　　Not only does it snow in Xianyang, it also snows heavily.

　　I just read in the historical records that after the death of the Empress Dowager Huayang, the snow in Qin State was very deep.

　　Here is a response to the question asked by a reader before about the art of hiding ice in Qin.
