    All the procedures for the enthronement ceremony reported to Jiangxia by the Ministry of Rites are roughly divided into five steps.  The first is to worship heaven and honor the ancestors, the second is to issue the edict with the golden phoenix, the third is to receive the edict and ascend the throne, the fourth is to pay homage to hundreds of officials, and the fifth is to banquet the officials.  These five steps are basically formulated in accordance with ancient rituals, so there is nothing to change.  However, in the first process, there is nothing wrong with worshiping heaven, but there are some problems with respecting ancestors.  Because the ancestors in the Ancestral Temple are basically the ancestors of the Zhu family and have nothing to do with him in Jiangxia, it is naturally inappropriate for him to honor them.  After all, from a superficial point of view, Jiang Xia was plotting to usurp the throne and change the dynasty.  So after discussion, the officials of the Ministry of Rites decided to remove all the traces left by the Zhu family in the Ancestral Temple, and then add a few more ancestors of the Jiangxia family.  Finally, when Jiang Xia was asked, Jiang Xia directly asked officials from the Ministry of Rites to build a statue of Gui Guzi inside.  Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not understand why Jiang Xia did this, since the emperor gave the order, they had no choice but to comply.  Because the time for the official enthronement ceremony is not far away, it is too late to carve the statue of Guiguzi into wood or stone, so it can only be made out of clay.  When this news was known to Jiang Bin, he and Shi Potian finally came up with a way to assassinate Jiang Xia during the enthronement ceremony.  Although this method is elegant, it does involve some risks.  First, Jiang Bin and Shi Potian found the clay sculpture master who was responsible for making the Guiguzi statue, and asked him to seal Jiang Bin inside the clay sculpture with clay. Then when Jiang Bin arrived at the statue to worship, Jiang Bin rushed out again and caught him off guard.  , killing him in one fell swoop.  ¡° Such a large clay sculpture would take at least three days to make, even if we work overnight.  After three days, in order to quickly dry the soil, it may be baked with fire.  And this means that Jiang Bin needs to hold his breath and stay in the clay sculpture for six days.  A normal person would definitely be suffocated to death if he held his breath completely for six days.  But Jiang Bin can't. He can rely on the inner breath in his body to forcefully hold his breath for several days without any serious problems.  But for him, six days is basically a limit.  If he's not careful, he might die inside the clay sculpture.  However, in order to kill Jiang Xia, Jiang Bin didn't care about so many things, and finally decided to take a risk.  So under the supervision of Shi Potian, the clay sculpture master sealed Jiang Bin in the statue of Gui Guzi.  On the day before Jiangxia¡¯s enthronement ceremony, people from the Ministry of Industry came to carry the statue away.  No one guessed that there was actually a living person inside the statue.  The moment Jiang Bin was carried away, Shi Potian killed the clay sculpture master to silence him, and then sneaked into the Ancestral Temple in advance to lie in wait as a response.  In the morning, it was just dawn.  At this time, it should be Mao Shi.  Jiang Xia, who was sleeping between Xue Ruqin and Xue Yi, woke up and sat up. Just when he was about to make a move, Xue Ruqin and Xue Yi also woke up.  Xue Ruqin also sat up, with her naked upper body exposed in the air, allowing Jiang Xia to feast his eyes on it.  Jiang Xia quickly took a piece of Xue Ruqin's clothes from the bedside to cover her up, and then said, "Auntie, please stop tempting me, you know I can't stand this." Xue Ruqin rolled her eyes at Jiang Xia angrily,  He smiled and said: "We are already an old married couple, what else can't we bear?" Jiang Xia shook her head and said: "What do you think? I don't know if the food provided to you is too good, why is it that a  They are becoming more and more beautiful. As for the girl Yang Jingjing, she used to be the world everyone wanted, but now it has changed. "What do you mean by the world everyone wants?" Xue Ruqin asked in confusion.  Jiang Xia casually replied: "Everyone hopes for 'peace' in the world." As he spoke, he touched his chest.  Your appearance made Xue Ruqin laugh again and again. The pair of weapons on her chest also flipped up and down with a smile, making Jiang Xia salivate at the sight.  Xue Ruqin reached out and hit Jiang Xia on the chest, laughing and scolding: "You are really evil, you actually made fun of sister Jingjing like this. Sister Jingjing was too young and didn't grow up. You see, those who are in trouble now are like gods.  What's the difference?" Jiang Xia nodded with sympathy, stretched out her hand on Xue Ruqin's chest, stretched out her hand to play with the pair of weapons and said: "Now Jingjing is two points bigger than yours, it's really heavenly.  "What a gift." Although Xue Ruqin has been married to Jiang Xia for many years, she couldn't help but blush when faced with Jiang Xia's actions.  But Xue Yi, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly shouted: "Oh, my husband, you are still making fun of sister Jingjing, who has the best relationship with me, behind my back. I want to avenge sister Jingjing!" After saying that, Xue Yi suddenly got in.  Under the covers, Jiang Xia immediately understood how Xue Yi planned to avenge Jingjing.  Before he could speak out to stop it, Xue Yi took a sip.  Taking Jiang Xia's most sensitive part into her mouth, Jiang Xia couldn't say a word.  Originally, according to the plan, Jiang Xia was supposed to change clothes at the beginning of the year.Get everything ready and set out in time.  But in the end, when the eunuch at his side came to remind him, Jiang Xia still changed the changing time to Chenshi.  Jiang Xia is probably the only emperor who delays the enthronement ceremony.  At 3 o'clock in the morning, Xue Ruqin and Xue Yi, who had become like two pools of soft mud, finally slept peacefully on the bed, no longer tempting Jiang Xia who got up.  Only Xue Yi murmured in her mouth: "My husband's Heart Sutra has been improved again. He practiced it nine times last night and four times now, and he is still so energetic." Jiang Xia laughed and said: "Practice every day, how can you not be diligent?  " After saying that, Jiang Xia got up.  Not far from the bed, more than a dozen palace ladies were already kneeling on the ground waiting.  After seeing Jiang Xia, these maids immediately saluted Jiang Xia and said, "See you, Your Majesty." Jiang Xia waved her hand, "Without the ceremony, please get back on your feet and change my clothes quickly." "Yes." After the maids responded, they immediately became busy.  There are those who wash Jiang Xia's face, those who fix Jiang Xia's hair, and those who dress Jiang Xia.  Others are busy with Jiang Xia sorting out the traces of the previous "war".  Soon, with the help of the palace ladies, Jiang Xia put on the dragon robe and the beaded crown.  He looked at his own appearance in the polished bronze mirror, and secretly said to himself: "Now that you have done it, do it well. A generation of wise kings, an emperor for eternity, let's start from today." Thinking of this, Jiang Xia  Walked out of the palace and came to the side hall of Qianqing Palace.  Waiting in the side hall is Jiang Xia's honor guard. Following the honor guard out of Qianqing Palace, a large number of honor guards are waiting outside the palace.  Seeing Jiang Xia coming out, the honor guard saluted and said: "See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor." Jiang Xia nodded, feeling proud in his heart.  But he didn't know that the danger was already lurking in the dark.
