   Chapter 1185 Unparalleled in the world (finale)

   On the tenth day of September in the second year of Yankang.

  Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the imperial city, and at the ceremony of the Zen throne in Weiyang Palace, Emperor Yankang, in response to the mandate of Heaven, personally took the stage to read the edict of the Zen throne, the great Zen leader and the great governor Li Xin.

   All the civil and military officials were subdued, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live.

  The new emperor wears the emperor’s robe, wears the emperor’s crown, and ascends the throne.

   At the same time, the Dafeng Southwest was a servant of the Dragon.

   The Duke of Qian, Mu Ying, has made great achievements many times, and is the first hero of the Dragon. In addition to still in charge of Longwuwei, the Duke of Qian was promoted to the king of Qianning County, and he was hereditary.

It is worth mentioning that the Mu family already has a king of Shu in the southwest, and a family cannot have two kings. Therefore, the Southwest Shu Palace and the Qianning Palace are officially separated. From then on, there are two families, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed. Mu.

   Li Xiu, the king of Shu in name, was also named king because he was Li Xinyi’s son.

  The right servant of the Shangshu Zhao Jia was promoted to the left servant of the Shangshu, and he officially took the position of the Prime Minister of the Shangshutai.

  Li Xin was crowned, and Li Shuo, the last of the three giants in the southwest, naturally became the royal family. The brother of the new emperor, who was named King of Pengyuan because of his bloodline, was still in charge of Shenwuwei.

Originally, as Li Xin’s brother, Li Shuo deserved the title of a prince, but the relationship between the two of them was quite tortuous. In addition, Li Shuo was still young, and there was still room for promotion in the future, so only one county was sealed for the time being. king.

However, Li Xin openly admitted his brotherhood with Li Shuo. This King Pengyuan will be the royal family of the new dynasty in the future, and his descendants will share weal and woe with the royal family. He is the one who has benefited the most this time, except Li Xin. .

  Apart from these three people, the officials and generals of the Southwest First Department, as long as there is no evil in the past two years, are generally promoted by two ranks, and each person has been promoted to one rank.

Originally, after Li Xin entered the capital, the officials and generals of the Southwest Line had already occupied many important positions. If they went up like this, the weight of the Southwest Line in the court would be too heavy. Therefore, with the exception of the Southwest Line In addition to the number of people, Li Xin also promoted many “indigenous” officials in the capital, trying to ensure that the power of the court would not be unbalanced.

The new emperor sat on the dragon chair and quietly listened to the eunuchs reading out the edicts for promotion one after another. After all the edicts were read, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and asked the emperor to ascend to the altar to offer sacrifices to the sky. Tell the world.

  In the major affairs of the country, sacrifice has always been the most important thing in the sacrifice and the Rong. There is an altar used to sacrifice to the sky in the imperial city. Li Xin, surrounded by civil and military officials, sealed the altar and burned incense to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

   The main reason for doing this is to inform God that his son in the world has changed.

After    sacrificing to heaven and earth, Li Xin stood on the high altar and turned his head to face the civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground, his voice solemn.

   “Today, I have the mandate of Heaven, ascended the throne, established the country’s name as Tang, and changed the Yuan Shenwu.”

Every person in later generations has a dream of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xin is no exception. There is no Tang Dynasty in this world, and he happens to be surnamed Li, so the country name is naturally located in Tang, but the era name is not easy to manage, Li Yuan It is really a bit useless, and it is not easy to use martial arts directly, so it is called Shenwu.

   The civil and military officials under the altar still knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

   “Long Live the Tang Dynasty!”

   “Long Live Your Majesty!”

Li Xin waved his hand and motioned them to stop, then walked down from the altar, surrounded by the crowd, and came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace. In the main hall, he canonized the nine princesses as the Empress of the New Tang Dynasty and the eldest son Li Ping. For the new prince.

Originally, according to Li Xin’s temper, the position of the crown prince would not be established as a direct descendant, but when the new dynasty is established, the most important thing is stability. The establishment of a prince at this time is conducive to the stability of the new dynasty. Anyway, he is only 30 this year. He is many years old, and he has practiced family boxing for nearly twenty years. He still has decades to live, and he has a lot of time to choose a suitable heir.

  Li Xin’s eldest daughter, Li Shu, and second daughter, Li Jing, were canonized as princesses.

   Zhong Xiaoxiao, who has been with Li Xin for almost 20 years, was also named Princess Changning.

   After the edicts were issued, Li Xin sat on the throne of Weiyang Palace and ordered his eldest son Li Ping to kneel in front of him.

  His Royal Highness, the new crown prince, kneeled on the ground respectfully.

Li Xin looked solemn, and said solemnly: “Today, I have established you as the crown prince, all civil and military officials are here, and in front of all the ministers, I have established a few family rules. After I die, I will be Zu Xun. irreversible.”

  Li Ping knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: “I respectfully listen to the hadith of the father.”

  The civil and military officials in the Weiyang Palace also knelt on the ground and kowtowed: “Chen wait, listen to His Majesty’s hadith.”

  Li Xin stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his hands and looked at the ministers below the steps, and said, “I… started in the grass, and it is possible to this day, thanks to the merits of the officials and the help of firearms.”

He looked down at his son and said in a low voice: “For hundreds of years, literature has flourished, and this country is a blessing, but the society, crops and people’s livelihood cannot be fully entrusted to sages and sages. All the people’s businesses are useful, and firearms are made by the country. For a major event, there is a Tang Dynasty, and the camp of the gods established by me shall not be abandoned.”

   “The Shenji School I set up must not be abandoned. After that, the Ministry of Housing will set aside a special amount of money for the establishment of the Shenji School every year. If the national treasury can’t get the money, it will be taken from the imperial palace.”

   He looked at Li Ping and asked in a deep voice, “Do you understand?”

  Li Ping kowtowed: “My son, remember the hadith of the emperor.”

  Li Xin paused and continued: “The other thing is, the Ji family in the previous dynasty was certainly not virtuous, but after all, it is your mother’s clan, and in the lineage of…

Here Li Xin wanted to say that there is no great evil in the world, but now every word he said will be recorded in the history books. If the Ji family did not have great evil, it meant that he was guilty of rebelling against the Li family, so he could only change his tune temporarily. .

   “The Emperor Ji’s Mausoleum must not be damaged.”

  Li Ping respectfully kowtowed again: “My son obeys.”

  The Emperor Shenwu sat back on his throne, stretched out his hand and waved at the civil and military officials.

   “This is all I have to say for the time being, all your gentlemen, let’s be flat.”

   “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

   “Today, the Tang Dynasty is standing, and I will have a grand banquet in the imperial city for three days to congratulate the new dynasty.”

   “Chen and so on, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty.”

The process of ascending the throne was very tedious. Li Xin was busy all day, and it was not until the third watch that he was able to return to the dormitory to rest. The emperor’s dormitory was still in the Weiyang Palace at the moment, and Li Xin was lying alone in a large room. On the dragon bed, because he was already very tired, although the bed was not very accustomed to, but just lay down, he quickly fell asleep in a daze.

  In his sleep, Li Xin vaguely saw an emperor wearing a crown, standing by the bed and looking at himself, sneering at himself.

   He woke up suddenly, sat up from the bed, looked left and right, only to find that there was no one beside the bed.

   He took a deep breath and lay back on the bed.

   “You can’t scare me, I’m not afraid of ghosts.”

   The next day, after Li Xin got up, he ordered the emperor’s bedroom to be moved back to Changle Palace from Weiyang Palace.

  …………

   Shenwu Year Two New Year.

When Li Xin ascended the throne, it was already September, so although it was the second year of Shenwu, he had only been on the throne for three months. However, during these three months, there were indeed rebellions in various places. The former king, Li Shuo, had already left the capital with his troops to fight the rebellion everywhere.

  With the stability of the northern border, Ye Mao, the first protector of the Anbei Protectorate, also returned to the capital to congratulate the new dynasty.

   It was the seventh day of the lunar new year. The emperor, who was a little afraid of the cold, was wearing a thick mink robe and stood on the city wall of the palace with Chen Guogong Ye Mao.

Ye Mao is now forty years old, with white hair hidden on his temples, he stood behind Li Xin and said with a smile: “Although I had expected such a day, but seeing it with my own eyes is still full of emotion. , thinking of His Majesty back then…”

   Li Xin looked back at Ye Mao and said with a smile, “Think of me going to Ye’s house to deliver wine and being beaten by Master Ye?”

   Ye Mao laughed: “Your Majesty doesn’t mention this, and no one will dare to mention it in the future.”

  The emperor shook his head and sighed: “That’s not a good thing. We have known each other for nearly 20 years. You know what kind of character I am. I was forced to be in this position.”

   “This is also something that can’t be helped.”

Ye Mao said with a smile: “Everyone has selfish intentions, even if His Majesty doesn’t have them, we can’t ask those in the Southwest Army to not have them, but it’s not a bad thing for His Majesty to ascend to the throne. ”

   Li Xin turned back and glanced at Ye Mao with a smile: “How do you know that I won’t become the emperor of Ji’s family in the future?”

   Ye Mao shook his head.

   “Grandfather once said that His Majesty is a person who values ​​friendship, and he is very accurate in seeing people.”

   “No one can see people’s hearts, people’s hearts will change.”

   Li Xin smiled at Ye Mao and said, “I try to stay the same.”

   Uncle and nephew were walking on the Miyagi, chatting all the time.

   After chatting for a while, the emperor looked back at Ye Mao and asked with a smile, “You said that in the history books of later generations, how would you evaluate me?”

   Chen Guogong slightly bowed his head and said with a smile: “This minister is just an ordinary general. There is nothing to say. As for your majesty… Naturally, he is a divine and holy martial artist, the founder of the country who shines through the ages.”

   “It’s true that it will shine through the ages, but I’m afraid that it will be a thief that is not easy for the ages.”

  The emperor laughed at himself: “Later generations will turn to my page, and most of them will scold me, saying that I bullied orphans and widows.”

   “Yuan Zhao has been in power for five years and is not considered an orphan.”

   Ye Mao bowed his head and said, “Besides, no matter what future generations think of Your Majesty, they will not be able to turn over this page of His Majesty’s history books.”

   Chen Guogong looked up at the new emperor and said with a smile.

   “In the past 20 years, Your Majesty has walked all the way, and I can say that I have seen most of it. Your Majesty can be called today, whether it is vision, mind or ability, which can be called four words.”

   “Listening to an honest person’s flattery is pleasing to the ear.”

  The Emperor smiled: “Which four characters?”

   Chen Guogong sighed sincerely with a sincere expression.

“second to none.”
