Chapter 294 Amnesty
Li Chengqian was taken aback after hearing this!
How could he forget this matter?

These Yi people from various tribes expressed their grief and grief for the late emperor in such a way of self-mutilation.

Let's not say whether they did it sincerely, but their self-harm way can easily scare others.

If they are left alone, who knows if they will do anything radical, so he, the new emperor, must take care of this matter.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Chengqian standing there blankly, the eunuch shouted, not knowing what was going on in his heart, and he couldn't wait like this.

Li Chengqian came back to his senses and said: "I understand their grief when the late emperor passed away. I will ask You Si Yamen to appease them immediately. They must not be allowed to do anything radical again."

"No!" The eunuch took the order to retreat.

After receiving the order, the relevant departments immediately went to appease these people and asked them to stop self-harm.

Two days passed quickly.

On the first day of June, when Li Chengqian officially ascended the throne, besides guarding Li Er's coffin, he also held rehearsals for today's day two days later.

Li Chengqian was wearing a brand new dragon robe and a twelve-pronged crown, and walked slowly to the throne.

After some prefixes, Changsun Wuji came out to salute and said: "Please accept the seal of God, accept the seal of orders, and accept orders from heaven, so that you can live forever."

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Fu Xilang presented the Divine Seal and the Order Seal.

There were eight seals in the Tang Dynasty, namely Shenxi, Shouming, Emperor's Xingxi, Emperor's Zhixi, Emperor's Xinxi, Tianzi's Xingxi, Tianzi's Xi, and Tianzi's Xinxi.

These eight seals are specially managed by officials who are responsible for keeping them.

The Shenxi is used to town the Central Plains, except for showing it when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is hidden and not used at other times.

The seal of acceptance is also the jade seal of Chuanguo. The emperor claimed that he was ordered by heaven. Therefore, the jade seal of Chuanguo is also called the seal of acceptance. Its main function is to enshrine the gods of Zen.

Now Li Chengqian is going to take these two kinds of seals, which represent that he has used the national power of the Tang Dynasty to suppress the Central Plains, and he has obtained the monarchy granted to him by heaven.

The ancient emperors claimed to be ordered by the heavens, and the power of the king was granted by the gods. After receiving the seal of appointment, the identity of the emperor was tantamount to being recognized by the gods.

From then on, you are the spokesperson of God in the world.

Li Chengqian reached out to take the Shenxi Seal and the Order Seal, held them up high, and after showing them to the officials, he returned the two seals to Fu Xilang for safekeeping.

After finishing all this, Changsun Wuji continued: "Your Majesty, please take over the Six Seals and take on the heavy responsibility of the community."

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Fu Xilang handed the Emperor Liuxi, which represented the rights of the emperor, to Li Chengqian.

The Six Seals of the Son of Heaven are used to affix seals on edicts such as distribution of enfeoffments, dispatch of troops and generals, and different seals have different uses.

For example, when entrusting princes and ministers, the imperial edict must be affixed with the emperor's seal, so that the edict can take effect. Using other seals will have no effect. Fa-rectification on the spot.

Therefore, the purposes of the Six Seals are clearly defined and cannot be used indiscriminately.

Li Chengqian reached out to take the six seals, and after showing it to all the officials, Li Chengqian was officially the emperor at this time.

Li Chengqian returned the Emperor Liuxi to Fu Xilang for safekeeping.

"Worship the new king! Kneel!" After Li Chengqian took over the eight seals, he was the real emperor who was ordered by heaven, and he shouted.

The officials immediately bowed down and paid homage.

"Shanhu!" Internal Supervisor Wang Yuan shouted loudly.

"Long live!" The ministers immediately shouted.

"Get up! Worship again! Shout out to the mountains!" the Internal Supervisor Wang Yuan shouted again.

"Long live!" The officials stood up, bowed down again, and shouted loudly.

"Get up! Worship again! Hurray again!" the Internal Supervisor Wang Yuan shouted again.

"Long live!" The officials stood up again, knelt down and saluted, and shouted loudly.

"The ceremony is over!" Wang Yuan shouted loudly.

Only then did the civil and military officials stand up and sit on their knees, waiting for the emperor to issue the first edict after ascension to the throne.

Next, Li Chengqian needs to pardon the world. This is something the new emperor must do when he ascends the throne. In the name of the new emperor's kindness, he will pardon some prisoners, except those who have committed heinous crimes.

Looking at the civil and military officials above the main hall and below the imperial steps, from today onwards, he, Li Chengqian, is the ruler of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Chengqian sat on the throne, he immediately felt an invisible force gather all over his body and flow through his limbs.

From today onwards, he is the ruler of this empire, the emperor who holds the power of life and death, and from now on, he can sit on this throne and issue orders, ordering the world.

The whole world has to obey his orders, this feeling is really wonderful, and I can't stop it.

No wonder so many people are fighting for the throne of the emperor, and so many people want to be emperor all their lives.

"It's my first time to become a great treasure! It is supposed to be a blessing to the world, and the world is blessed. I decided to pardon the world, and the Zhongshu ordered Chu Suiliang." Li Chengqian sorted out his mood at the moment. This was the first edict he issued after he became the throne.

Originally, he planned to confer the official position of his prince's subordinate official first. According to the usual practice, when the prince became emperor, his original subordinate officials would be promoted.

This is also the reason why so many ministers want to become Conglong heroes.

Once you choose the right lord, you will be able to get promoted and make a fortune, or even rise to the top, and your ambitions can be displayed.

On the contrary, if you choose the wrong lord, it is very likely that you will be ruined, or even killed, not to mention things like displaying your ambitions.

In layman's terms, this is equivalent to investment, courtiers are equivalent to investors, and the lord they choose to follow is equivalent to investment products.

Investors who choose good investment products can naturally reap a lot of money. Once they choose bad investment products, they will go bankrupt and their families will be ruined.

Issuing the edict of amnesty to the world is an integral part of the succession ceremony of the new king.

"The Minister of Zhongshu, Chu Suiliang, is here!" Chu Suiliang stood up and came out with the jade wat in his hand, saluting.

"The Zhongshu ordered Chu Suiliang to draft an edict of amnesty for the world, and announce it to the world!" Li Chengqian said.

"I obey the order!" Chu Suiliang took the order.

"Wang Yuan, the internal servant, read out my enthronement edict to all the officials!" Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Wang Yuan took the order, held the imperial decree, and read Li Chengqian's enthronement edict to the officials.

"Your Majesty, please lead all civil and military officials to go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple and the country, and to inform all the people." After the edict was read out, the Minister of Rites came out to salute.

"Yes!" Li Chengqian got up and walked out of the Taiji Hall. The civil and military officials immediately followed the new emperor Li Chengqian to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple.

After the sacrifice, it is announced to the subjects of the world that the new emperor will succeed to the throne, and the empire will continue to use the Zhenguan Year Name this year.
