In ancient times, the emperor's ascension to the throne was a very troublesome matter. Even if Li Xian had the fake "Wu Zetian's Edict" that turned out to be true, he still had to go through a lot of procedures. First of all, he had to say three words and three invitations. Although he couldn't bear to become the emperor in the bottom of his heart, he still refused. Repeated invitations are not enough to show your ambition. If all the officials do not ask for it three times, it is not enough to show that the emperor is responsible for the popularity of the world.
In addition, there are many things such as offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, ancestors in ancestral temples, etc., all of which are dazzling. Fortunately, Li Xian inherited the throne under extraordinary circumstances. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, many procedures can be avoided, but cannot be avoided. It was also possible to do it simply. In addition, because Karamatsu was of too low a character and was not qualified to participate, it saved him a lot of worry and saved him a lot of crimes.
Even so, the three consecutive days of performing rituals also made Tang Song bored. The so-called performing rituals are actually learning rituals. Learning the etiquette of meeting the emperor is only part of it. As a future nobleman, the emperor will have to sacrifice to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, and suburbs in the future. He had to accompany him during events such as sacrifices and even hunting. During these different rituals or activities, there were detailed and clear instructions on how to stand, how to dress, how to speak, etc., and he had to learn all of these. Even after becoming a knight, officials from the Ministry of Rites taught them how to get along with their parents, wife and children at home.
???????????????????????????????????????This court is too lenient. Wouldn't it be good to have such leisure to seek the welfare of the people? But despite the constant criticism in his heart, Tang Song managed to survive these three days. He actually understood that since Zhou Gong established rituals and music, these rituals are far from simple etiquette, but a condensed set of social governance and social behavioral norms.
This includes the distinction between monarch and minister, father, son and son, the meaning of the five ethics, and the individual's position in the entire society. In a nutshell, this is how the current society can function normally. One of the core essences
No one can shake this at the moment. Even if the dynasty is changed, the dynasty will still have to follow this set of rules. Since we are living in such a world now, and we are lucky enough to get a title, we have to follow the rules of the world. Come and do it
After three days of performing, Tang Song was exhausted with soreness in his back and back, and his mind was in a blur. He couldn't remember too many tedious and boring things.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
In an extraordinary period, although this was a greatly reduced so-called court meeting that only officials of the sixth rank and above in Beijing attended, the road leading to Duanmen was still crowded with people. There was no way. There were too many officials attending the court meeting, and the carriages and horses naturally stopped. If it hadn't been for the on-duty guards from Jingzhao Yamen to guide him, there would have been a traffic jam.
Occasionally when the traffic is very slow, Tang Song can always hear the complaints and expectations around him, complaining that the road is too narrow, and hoping that when the world returns to Li Tang, the country can move back to Xijing Chang'an as soon as possible. If it were on Zhuque Street, Is there such a heartbreaking congestion there?
Hearing this, Tang Song couldn't help but laugh. It seems that the first blockage in the capital was not only like this in later generations, but also unavoidable when meeting a great court 1,300 years ago. After all, there were too many officials. Officials had to use special cars when traveling, and they had to bring them with them. The reason for many long followers
From this, it is not surprising to think about the 150-meter width of Zhuque Street, the main road of Chang'an City.
It has been several years since Xiangyang entered the capital in vain, and he has entered the palace many times, but this is the first time he has entered the palace through the end gate of the main gate of the palace in the divine capital. This first time marks a qualitative leap in his identity change.
The Duanmen, also known as the Tianmen, does not open lightly. As soon as you enter the gate, the lively noise outside will naturally disappear. All the officials who got off the carriages walked forward under the illumination of the butter palace lanterns on both sides. I only heard a slightly scattered rustle of footsteps
After walking for a while, under the light of many butter palace lanterns in front of him, which were as bright as day, Tang Song saw a magnificent palace standing on a high platform.
This polygonal building, which is 294 feet high and 300 feet square, actually has only three floors. The top part is a circular pavilion, and at the top of the pavilion stands a golden phoenix that is more than ten feet tall and flutters its wings.
Just like the Chang'an Palace City is located on the Longshou Plain, the highest point in Chang'an City, the Shendu Palace City is also located at the highest point in Luoyang City, and this magnificent palace is the tallest building in the Palace City.
The golden phoenix, which is more than one foot tall, stands at the highest point of the palace city. It flutters its wings and overlooks the world from the highest point of the divine capital. Its stern posture and momentum far surpass the power of a coiling dragon.
Seeing this scene, Tang Song knew that the magnificent palace in front of him must be the Mingtang built by Wu Zetian after the design was decided. This was a building she carefully prepared for her to ascend the throne as emperor. Its scale and complexity were far beyond those of Li All the palaces in the eastern and western capitals of the Tang Dynasty can not only represent the most beautiful architecture of the Tang Dynasty, which took grandeur as the highest aesthetic principle.A high achievement, it is also recognized in the history of architecture as a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, with design and construction capabilities approaching or reaching the highest level of feudal society.
It is a pity that such a rare architectural wonder in the history of Chinese architecture and culture was first demolished by Li Tang after Wu Zetian's death, and then completely turned into ashes during the Anshi Rebellion. This only made future architectural historians think about it. sigh
Fortunately, Tang Song finally saw its majestic appearance head-on today, but in the end, what he saw through this building was the departed Wu Zetian, and what he saw was Wu Zetian's heroic spirit trying to recreate a new world; what he saw was her. Look at the world, and feel the atmosphere of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers; and the arrogance that will never give in to others, and wants to compete with the sky.
Where is this woman
It's all gone, Tang Song's gaze on Mingtang finally turned into a sigh with a strong historical charm.
Under the supervision of the imperial censor on duty, and under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials stood in line. After each grooming themselves, they entered the large bright hall in an orderly manner.
Not long after waiting, when the first ray of morning light in the sky shone on the golden phoenix on the top of the Mingtang, the sound of bells, drums, and ritual music suddenly rose, and then the emperor Li Xian was seen riding on a shoulder carriage carried by thirty-two people. , came to court surrounded by many chamberlains.
Li Xian was not short, he could even be called tall in this era, but after getting used to seeing Wu Zetian wearing a dragon robe, Tang Song felt awkward looking at Li Xian sitting high on the throne.
The source of the awkwardness is that Li Xian's aura is too weak, and the bright hall is too grand, which suppresses him and even lacks a sense of existence, let alone using the bright hall to reflect the aura of the emperor Wei Jiahai. In addition, the dragon robe is worn on him. Don't look awkward on your body either.
In a nutshell, although Li Xian wore a yellow robe and ascended the throne, he really is what the folk saying says - he doesn't look like a prince even if he wears a yellow robe.
After Li Xiansheng sat down on the throne, hundreds of officials danced and paid homage I won¡¯t go into details about these. In short, after completing a series of rituals designed to highlight the concept of divine right of kings and demonstrate the majesty of the emperor, we finally started to talk about business.
There is really a lot of business in this court meeting
1. Change the name of the country to abolish "Zhou" and restore "Tang". The world will return to the Li Tang Dynasty. Change the name of the country to "Shenlong", abolish the "divine capital" to Luoyang, and return the capital to Chang'an when the time is right in the next spring.
The title of Holy God Emperor of Wuzhao was abolished, and she was posthumously titled "The Great Sage Queen of Zetian" and was buried in Qianling Mausoleum.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????? Issued an edict of amnesty, granted a general amnesty to the world, and all officials in the world without any internal or external transfer, all have their salaries increased by one level
¡¡¡¡
Karamatsu was tired the past few days, and he got up too early today. After standing for so long, he was really sleepy. When listening to these routine articles, he couldn't help but feel drowsy. Fengji's imperial censor couldn't doze off blatantly. This situation of being able to sleep but not being able to sleep was really uncomfortable.
It was not until finally when it came to the matter of granting rewards that he was freed from the sea of ??misery. The first person to be granted the title was Princess Taiping. Since she was already a first-class princess, there was no title for her, so the first reward was to receive the title. As soon as the number "Zhenguo" was added, Taiping became the "Princess Zhenguo Taiping".
Hearing this, Tang Song shook his head. He was not clever at all. The addition of the title of "Zhenguo" was like opening up Taiping's opportunity to participate in government affairs. Now her ambition became more determined, searching for party members to cultivate power. There will be less worries
Although it seems to be just a false pretense of "governing the country", it actually abolished Wu Zetian's ban on "not interfering in politics" set by Taiping. Its far-reaching impact is difficult to estimate.
In addition, there are many other rewards for Taiping, such as being made a prisoner to renovate Princess Chang'an's mansion, giving money and cloth, etc. These things have no meaning to Taiping, so I won't go into details.
Following Taiping, Li Xian¡¯s younger brother was named Prime Minister Li Dan. His first title was to add the title ¡°Anguo¡±, and since then Li Dan has become the ¡°Prime Minister of Anguo¡±.
Hearing this, Tang Song felt a little interesting. Li Dan was scared to death by Wu Zetian. He hid in his house every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was a coward. How could such a person be involved in King Qin's affairs? ? Receiving this great reward for no merit After thinking about it, Tang Song turned his attention to Di Renjie at the front of the hall.
After a moment, Tang Song, who understood clearly in his heart, smiled softly, Mr. Di, Mr. Di, you really worked hard for Li Tang Jiangshan.
After Taiping and Li Dan completed the awards, the most noteworthy award recipient is Di Renjie himself. Being named "Liang Guogong" is not surprising in itself, but using the title "Liang" is enough to reflect his current status in the court.
In the nearly hundred years since Li Tang Ding Ding, apart from Di Renjie at this moment, the only person who has been named Liang Guogong is Fang Xuanling, a famous prime minister in the early Zhenguan period, who was the leader of the Xuanwu Gate IncidentThe mastermind, the so-called chief planner in later generations. After the Xuanwumen Incident, Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne. When discussing merits and rewards, he compared him to Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.
There are many differences between the Xuanwumen Incident and this palace incident, but there are also many similarities. For example, the result was that two heirs who were not recognized eventually became emperors. For example, Fang Xuanling and Di Renjie were the same as Liang Guogong.
Is this a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not
But no matter what, Di Renjie's move to the title of Duke of Liang is something Tang Song is happy to see. With him, he can at least temporarily curb the ambitions of Concubine Wei and Taiping. Although the struggle between Wei Fei and Taiping is inevitable, at least it will not be easily broken.
Di Renjie naturally refused to accept the award, and his resignation was indeed sincere. At least Tang Song could see that he was sincere. But with his current status, if he was not awarded the award, how could he proceed further? So after the emperor comforted him and the ministers insisted, he said nothing more.
Not long after that, Karamatsu finally heard his name
At this moment, the eyes of many officials in the hall were focused on the young man who walked out of his shift and stood in the middle of the hall.
Tang Song lowered his head slightly, his face and body were neither too nervous nor too relaxed. He was tall and tall, with a calm and graceful attitude far beyond his actual age.
This age, this appearance, this demeanor, this achievement, and his reputation that is resounding among scholars all over the world At this time, among the hundreds of officials in the Mingtang, it was finally difficult to keep quiet because there were too many people talking and sighing, and there were actually There was a little commotion
As the discussion continued, Karamatsu¡¯s unmarried background suddenly became infinitely magnified.
In the buzzing sound, Tang Song seemed to have become the most wealthy son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty outside the royal family. Although the occasion like the Mingtang was really inappropriate, there were indeed many people in the official team who looked at Tang Song with their eyes shining. Behind every pair of shining eyes, there is at least one or as many as several boudoir-age ladies.
The Tang Dynasty has always had the "bad custom" of snatching Jinshi as a son-in-law after the scientific examination results were released. There were even many cases of two families fighting for the son-in-law. It was commonly known at the time as "catching a son-in-law under the rankings" for an ordinary Jinshi. It's worth grabbing, let alone a diamond-level bachelor like Karamatsu.
In response to such a large-scale noise, the scolding of the imperial censor in the palace could no longer suppress it, and finally the Jingdian whip was called out. Amidst the explosion of the Jingdian whip, the Mingtang finally became quiet.
At this point, Tang Song¡¯s reward has finally been confirmed
The imperial edict granted Tang Song the title of Marquis of the Founding of the Kingdom from the third rank, and his wife as the wife of the county. He allowed six concubines to be granted to him from the seventh rank, and he was granted the title of a thousand households in the city. He was granted the title of 300 households in Xiangyang Prefecture.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were rules for the title of nobility. All the princes and below were required to add the word "founding the country". Therefore, it is said that the founding princes were the first-ranked and below, and the mothers and wives of dignitaries of the third-rank and above were all county wives. As for them, they were married every year. What kind of treatment a married woman such as the empress can enjoy when entering the palace to pay homage depends on the official rank of her husband and son. For example, if Tang Song is the third rank, then her mother and head wife will be the third rank county lady. In addition, the court will allow women with the title of Founding Marquis. Six concubines, married women from outside the seventh rank
This does not mean that a third-rank prince can only take six concubines. It means that no matter how many concubines you take, the court will only grant these six places for seventh-rank treatment. How to divide them among your own families?
Although the imperial court has stipulated that from the third level to the founding of the country, a thousand households can be settled in the city, but this is just talk and it is illusory. It cannot be taken seriously that the following sentence of Xiangyang Prefecture sealing 300 households is a real city. This is not It is said that these three hundred households belong to Tang Song, but the rent and tax income that these three hundred households pay to the court every year belongs to Tang Song, and is transferred to him by the Ministry of Household Affairs in the form of salary every year.
Because Tang Song¡¯s food court is in Xiangyang, the word Xiangyang needs to be added to his full title.
Therefore, the founding prince of Xiangyang County, Tang Song, the youngest prince in the world to be awarded the title of marquis due to his meritorious service, was officially revealed.
The content behind the great court meeting was lacklustre, but they were not allowed to leave after the court was dismissed because the emperor wanted to give the officials a banquet.
Tang Song was really tired, and he couldn¡¯t bear the scene of so many people noisy and drinking, so he found He Zhizhang, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette who was transferred here, left the palace and returned home after leaving an excuse to resign due to illness.
What he didn't know was that not long after he left, a very smart and pretty palace maid came to the place where the banquet was given. She asked the palace servants who were serving here about Tang Song. She frowned when she learned that he was gone. Then the palace maid had no choice but to go to the palace servants who had met Karamatsu and inquire about all the information about him, including his appearance, demeanor, conversation, etc., even the smallest information was not missed, and she memorized it one by one. Down
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out
What's going on here?
Karamatsu hurriedly squeezed inOn the steps in front of the door, you first see a high table covered with red brocade. There is a red lacquered tray placed on the high table. Several items on the tray are bright and dazzling.
There are clusters of third-grade marquis uniforms, ivory robes that only officials and dignitaries of third-grade or above are eligible to use, and golden tortoises given by the imperial court to third-grade or above In short, the entire set of robes of the marquis are neatly arranged in this red lacquer tray. Qi, accept the gaze of countless pairs of envious eyes
Standing on both sides of the high table were four officials from the Ministry of Etiquette in festive attire, followed by a few helpers holding gongs and drums.
At any rate, he had been in Tang Dynasty for some time. As soon as he saw this scene, Tang Song understood that this was another way for the officials in the Ministry of Rites to make money.
Whenever foreign ministers are given titles or rewards, they will inevitably go through the Ministry of Rites. The officials in the Ministry of Rites will take over the task of announcing the good news. From delivering the good news first to delivering all kinds of things later, they will do it for you. It's bright and bright, and it's noisy and known far and wide.
It can be as small as the release of results in scientific examinations or as big as being awarded a knighthood and receiving merit. These are all important events in life for the parties involved and their families. Now that the officials of the Ministry of Humanities and Rites have made it so festive and grand for you, how can the host still treat you so generously? A big red envelope in return?
With money like this, the clerks in the Ministry of Rites earn a lot of money, and the master gives it willingly. If the two things are combined into one, everyone will be happy.
And the neighbors are happy to join in the fun once something like this happens, firstly to get some good luck, and secondly to try their luck to see if they can get a few more strings of Wenxi money.
Whenever you want to do something like this, you must identify the wedding host in advance. So as soon as Karamatsuka walked up the steps, he was immediately recognized by the official from the Ministry of Etiquette who was eating tea, wine and snacks.
With an impeccably beautiful salute and a cry of "Congratulations to the founding prince, congratulations to the founding prince" that could be heard in half the street, Karamatsu once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
At this moment, firecrackers were blasting, gongs and drums were loud, and the atmosphere in front of Tang Song's house was about to burst with excitement.
"This is too tacky." Tang Song wailed in his heart, but he couldn't help but put on a springy smile on his face, and repeatedly held his hands to congratulate him - in fact, he was just thanking the neighbors who were joining in the fun.
At this moment, the main door of the Tang Mansion, which had been closed until now, suddenly opened. Tang Daren, dressed in a tuft of clothes, walked out surrounded by Liu Shang and others, and stood side by side with Tang Song, holding hands in thanks.
After the festive gongs and drums were played, the father and son put down their hands, and then Karamatsu personally held the red lacquer tray and walked into the house from the main entrance.
After him, the housekeeper Liu Shang personally led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to serve tea inside. The people holding gongs and drums could not enter the house at this time. They would later give the Xi family news and money to entertain them.
After walking around the screen wall and just wanting to relax, Tang Song heard a chorus of "Congratulations to the Marquis" and looked up, only to see all the servants of the Hefu gathered in the courtyard and standing neatly on both sides. At this time, he was saluting and congratulating him.
The smile on his face continued to tighten, and he handed over the "same joy, same joy" all the way. After going up the steps and entering the main room, he couldn't relax. The hired accountant followed him all the way in, asking for instructions on how to handle this big event. ? What rituals should be performed? It¡¯s better to make preparations in advance for money and food.
When asked, Tang Song immediately waved his hand, "No, no, no, everything is waived"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the back of his head. When he turned around, he saw Tang Daren pointing at his nose and jumping up and scolding: "You bastard, you think today's title is all yours." Ability? Bah, this is the blessing of our ancestors. You don¡¯t want anything? Ancestor, do you still want it?¡±
Tang Daren is a boring nerd. He talks little on weekdays and is kind-hearted. But once Tang Song does something good that makes him crazy, he will kill someone if he stands in his way.
Previously, this old man was sent to the Hongwen Seal Society by Tang Song. He was addicted to books and could not extricate himself. In addition to his nerdy personality, he was extremely ill-informed and had no idea that Tang Song might become a prince. Of course, this is also his fault. I never mentioned it to him
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When he heard the news, Tang Daren, who was at the Hongwen Seal Society, felt his feet weak and fell to the ground on the spot.
Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal, this is not a Jinshi, this is a Marquis, a Marquis
Tang Daren was so confused that he was carried back all the way by his slaves. It was not until he saw the official from the Ministry of Ceremonies who came to announce the good news, and saw and touched ivory, golden turtles, marquis clothes and other objects with his own eyes that he believed it was true.
My son Tang Darenhas been granted the title of Marquis, the title of Marquis has been granted
After this idea rolled around in his mind several times Tang Daren went completely crazy.
After slapping Karamatsu on the back of the head??, and then came another slap, "I told you not to, I told you not to do it." One slap after another, only to make Tang Song run away in the main room with his head in his arms. Fortunately, the houses in the Tang Dynasty were spacious, and the main house was really not big. Small, just barely able to scurry away
Tang Song was well aware of the power of Tang Daren's madness, and kept replying while scurrying around with his head in his arms, "I want it, I want it, I don't need anything, it's okay to just follow your old man's wishes."
At this point, Tang Daren finally stopped chasing him, panting like an ox and saying: "What a shame, why haven't you summoned the emperor to come out?"
At this time, Tang Daren said whatever he said. Tang Song did not dare to disobey in the slightest. He panted and took off the small bright yellow baggage on his shoulder. He opened the baggage and found a beautifully carved sandalwood box inside.
Tang Song thought that Tang Daren wanted to read the edict, so he opened the box without hesitation, grabbed the edict and walked over to hand it over.
It seems that special incense tables must be set up to enshrine these edicts. They are not allowed to be opened except when worshiping ancestors during festivals. It is also necessary to burn incense and take a bath before opening the edict box.
Even if the current situation is special, the box should always be held with both hands, and a big courtesy should be given before opening it. When taking the edict, one should use both hands to first invite and then submit
But what about evil obstacles? With a flick, a buckle, and a grab, the edict came out. Seeing this, Tang Daren's madness could no longer be described in words. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twitched, and the veins on his forehead jumped randomly. "What a sin" he shouted in his mouth, with his right hand between his legs He had already picked up a shoe board and slapped it on Karamatsu's body.
Fortunately, Tang Song was quick to dodge and dodge, so he managed to avoid the approaching shoe. After placing the edict on the wooden table next to him, he hugged his head and ran towards the outside of the main room. He finally understood. , this old man has suffered for too long before, so you didn¡¯t dare to make him happy. When he is happy, he likes to torment his son.
Hey, the way this old man expresses his joy is really embarrassing.
Kankan ran to the door and was about to escape from the sea of ??misery. Tang Song, who was running away with his head in his arms, let out a scream. However, Tang Daren saw that he could not catch up with him, so he threw the shoe board as a hidden weapon, hitting Tang Song with a slight pout because of his escape. up the ass
Amidst the screams, Tang Song did not dare to look back and ran out in a hurry (To be continued)
