The ceremony began, and the officials of the Guanglu Temple first slaughtered sheep and cattle! Sacrificed to heaven and earth!

Several Taoists in Taoist robes came up, mumbling something in their mouths, but it was incomprehensible.

The only thing that could be seen was that they were performing a ritual.

It was noon, and a ray of sunlight just happened to shine on Li Zhi's dragon robe, shining brightly.

Song Zhen came on stage, because he was the Minister of Taichang Temple, how could such a ceremony be without him?

After he came on stage, he took a book of heaven's decree from the Minister of Guanglu Temple.

He was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and then read aloud.

"The sun and the moon are in the same sky, and the mountains and rivers live together. The purple star gang, the magnificent prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"Today, the Supreme Supreme Lord of Haotian Jinque, the natural wonderful Mi Luo Zhizhen Jade Emperor, travels in the world."

Song Zhen secretly complained, damn, it's so difficult to pronounce.

"The eight wildernesses were pacified, and the people lived in peace. The saint Li Weishan, his teachings were known to the ages, his merits were in the imperial firmament, he was bright in heaven, and his glory was as bright as the sun and the moon."

"He governed the heavens and calmed the earth, he was in harmony with the gods and respected the ghosts, the lawsuits had their own place, he sang praises and loved, the calendar of heaven was really there."

"During the Zhenguan period and the Yonghui period, the national power was just beginning to grow, the rules and regulations were established, and the simplicity was not lost."

"Although the saint Li Weishan's politics were no better than the previous emperor, he expanded the territory, subdued the Rong and Qiang, and all nations came to pay tribute."

"He has made contributions to the country and is worthy of the ancestral temple. I, thinking of this, praise him as the emperor of heaven and the empress of heaven."

"He is equal to heaven and sits on an equal footing with me."

"Announce it to the world and let everyone know. I decree this."

After Song Zhen finished reading, he threw the heavenly edict into the sky according to the procedure.

The five Taoists performed a small magic to make the heavenly edict float in the air.

Li Zhi was excited and bowed with a trembling voice.

"Thank you for the gift from the Emperor of Heaven. I will live up to your high expectations and work diligently in the future. I will be benevolent to all nations and benefit all families."

After saying this, Li Zhi grabbed the decree of heaven and held it high.

The ministers below raised their arms and shouted one after another.

"The Emperor is mighty! The Emperor is wise! Long live the Emperor!"

"May the Empress be blessed! May the Empress be healthy! The Empress is unparalleled!"

At this moment, the sky of the entire Luoyang city was filled with gorgeous fireworks.

It seemed to be calling for the cheers of the ministers, and more like a reward from heaven.

Song Zhen didn't expect that Li Zhi would do this and confer a title on himself in the name of the Jade Emperor of Heaven.

He originally planned to let the envoys who came to the court recommend Li Zhi as the Emperor of Heaven and Wu Meiniang as the Empress of Heaven.

Just like Li Shimin was praised as the "Khan of Heaven".

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi actually looked down on his reputation among the people and directly granted himself the title of Emperor by decree from Heaven.

It must be said that this operation was really bold.

From "Son of Heaven", evolved into "Emperor".

Is this the so-called divine right of kings?

Also standing on the altar platform was Cui Mengzhu. She was wearing a purple female official uniform at the moment, standing not far away watching the scene, and composing a virtual picture in her heart.

She suddenly noticed a small look from Song Zhen, and then smiled at him.

Under the entire high platform, there were hundreds of water tanks. Through the resonance of sound, Song Zhen read the decree of heaven, and the people below could actually hear it clearly.

At this time, "Memories of the Forbidden City" was played again.

But at this moment, the mood of the ministers changed unconsciously.

"In the future, do not call him the saint, but the emperor, and do not call him Her Majesty the Queen, but the empress."

"Anyone who violates this twice will be beheaded!"

Each eunuch conveyed Li Zhi's oral order in the crowd.

Today is a new era.

Li Zhi shouted on the high platform: "From today on, the reign title will be changed to Tianzhao."

The maniac who changed the reign title finally took action today.

Because Song Zhen came out of nowhere, the history of the Tang Dynasty finally underwent a huge change.

Xianqing lasted for five years, but from now on, it will only be two years, and the latter will be Tianzhao.

.......

After the sacrificial activities, Song Zhen was in the limelight.

Not only because he hosted the "All Nations Come to Pay Homage" ceremony, but more importantly, he read the Tianzhi.

What a glory it is?

Although the Taichang Temple Minister is mainly responsible for sacrificial activities, he is responsible for it, but he usually works behind the scenes.

How can anyone come to the front like Song Zhen?

Li Zhi and Wu Mei Niang walked down the stage step by step, accompanied by "Memories of the Forbidden City".

With the support of the eunuchs, the two returned to the carriage.

Behind the carriage, all the royal family members followed on horseback.

Teng Wang Li Yuanying was naturally present, and he kept winking at Song Zhen, hinting at him.

"Shouzheng, when will you compose another song for me?"

Song Zhen rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Do you think I'm a god? Do you know how difficult it is to find a song that fits the context, environment, and mood?

Li Zhi led all the royal family members to come togetherGo to the Imperial Temple to worship the ancestors.

The Minister of the Imperial Clan was responsible for presiding over the ceremony of worshipping the ancestors.

Li Zhi bowed to the ancestors.

"The ancestors of the Li Tang Dynasty are above, I am here to pay my respects."

The Minister of the Imperial Clan ordered people to put the offerings on the table, muttering, "My ancestors, enjoy the food and drink."

Li Zhi poured a glass of wine and bowed to Li Shimin's token.

"Aye, I have lived up to your trust and have managed the Han and Tang dynasties in an orderly manner. I have fought wars in the south and the north and expanded the territory. Now the Han and Tang dynasties have more than four million territories compared to the Zhenguan period."

[Li Shimin: "6"]

Li Zhi said this to show off his achievements. Of course, you can't say he is arrogant.

Judging from his psychological changes, he has always taken his ancestors as his goal and focused on fulfilling his mission.

However, Song Zhen aroused his ambition, and his mentality changed.

He is no longer satisfied with standing still, but wants to surpass the Khan of Heaven, surpass the Zhenguan Reign, and become a famous emperor!

When future generations mention the Han and Tang Dynasties, they must not be separated from Emperor Li Zhi.

The source of all evil lies in Song Zhen, who gave him courage.

It was Song Zhen who planned the "Emperor and Empress" imperial ceremony.

If you want to blame someone, blame Song Zhen, don't blame me!

Song Zhen stood in the back row with a group of ministers. When he heard Li Zhi's words, his face turned green.

What do you mean? Can you be more rational?

However, this word sounded different to others.

Xu Jingzong had a gloomy face. Although Song Zhen let him take the limelight today, one thing is one thing. Putting aside Song Zhen's "favor", I will never reconcile with him!

In the eyes of everyone, Li Zhi's words undoubtedly established Song Zhen's lofty status in his mind.

Have you ever seen an emperor mention his ministers in front of his ancestors?

Haven't seen it before? Today, I'll let you see it.

Let's not talk about whether the evaluation is good or bad. This is a supreme honor, which means that Song Zhen is already the first favorite minister under Li Zhi.

Although Song Zhen's current official position is just a plaque, as long as he does not commit suicide, does not reveal his flaws, and works hard for the emperor.

In the future, this boy will have a bright future!

After the ancestor worship activities, all officials were speculating about what position Song Zhen would eventually reach.

"Do you think there is a possibility? Will the emperor restart the positions of left and right Pushe for Song Zhen?"

Since Changsun Wuji stepped down, the position of Pushe has been vacant and has not been established again.

However, most of the ministers think it is too absurd and think that you think too highly of Song Zhen.
