Chapter 453 Heaven has no two days, no country has two masters (6)
When Su Yan ascended the throne, he was the emperor in a hurry and helpless manner. After that, the emperor was also very successful. Unexpectedly, the emperor changed again in less than two years of the New Yuan Dynasty, and the initiator was still Liu Wenyan, who had recommended Su Yan to the throne.
Last time, Liu Yu recommended that his apprentice ascend the throne, and this time he directly supported his wife onto the dragon throne.
Qier stood in front of the dragon throne, facing the civil servants and generals below, and she was calm and composed. In fact, she was still very panicked inside.
Yesterday, she was anxious after Liu Yu entered the palace and fell asleep until dawn. At this moment, Xu Xuanzhu returned home with the female soldiers, woke Qi'er from her sleep, and hurriedly changed into a wide robe for her. She didn't even have time to clean up her makeup carefully, so she took her to the palace. Because of the haste, Xu Xuanzhu didn't know much about some emperor rituals, so she had to seek help from the female official in the palace, Qu Ning. Although Qu Ning always looked at Liu Yu, she knew that Qi'er would be promoted to the emperor soon, and cooperated with Qi'er to explain the emperor's rituals.
Qi'er was anxious, but after seeing Liu Yu, she settled down. After that, she went through the motions of Fengcui Palace with Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu. The real throne ceremony would not be held on that day.
At this time, on the jade steps, Su Yan, who was standing beside him, respectfully lowered his head and presented a alchemy book written in cinnabar with both hands. The ministers below knew that this was an abdication edict. Since ancient times, only the emperor's abdication edict or the royal edict of the king would be written in cinnabar and red.
This also means that from today on Su Yan will no longer be the emperor, and the fourteenth princess Su Qi will become the lord of the world.
Qi'er took the edict and Su Yan retreated aside. Qi'er glanced at Liu Yu as if asking Liu Yu for instructions on what to do next. Liu Yu looked at Eunuch Wu who was crying and cried. Only then did Qi'er look at Eunuch Wu curiously and handed the edict over, using both hands.
Eunuch Wu dared not answer the answer. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Liu Yu sighed. It seemed that Qu Ning had not done a perfect job in explaining these details, so he had to set up a "transit station" and take the edict from Qier. Then he transferred it to Eunuch Wu. Eunuch Wu then got up from the ground with the edict and read it out.
"I heard that the emperor's decree was not normal, but only to virtue. Therefore, God gave it to Yao, and it was appropriate to respect it at the time. It was very unrighteous, and the people were angry with it. I returned to Qin in heaven... Since I ascended the throne, I have been ashamed of the heavenly gifts, and the people were disgraceful to me. I have been ashamed of the heavenly gifts, and the people were separated from each other. I cannot calm the barbarians outside and the country inside. Although I am not clear, I dare not to obey the decree of heaven. I have virtue. Now I will follow the decree of heaven and leave the palace, and the emperor and heaven will live there. Now I will declare the world and implement it in time."
When Eunuch Wu read the last, he was already full of tears and wanted to cry loudly, but when he turned around and wanted to return the abdication edict to Liu Yu, he held back the tears when he saw Liu Yu's fierce look. Liu Yu captured the abdication edict and stared at the civil servants and military generals below, with a look of threat.
Su Yan stepped down from the jade stairs and stood with Su Bi and his wife. The three of them bowed down first, how could the other civil and military ministers not know each other? The rest of the rest of the night yesterday was a peaceful settlement within the royal family. Perhaps this was the result of everyone's joy. Shunchao's ancestral temples continued to worship. No matter how sacrificial Liu Wenyan was, he would not have committed a rebellion to his wife. When the civil and military generals thought of these, they knelt down to worship the new emperor together, shouting forever.
Amid the support, Qier sat on the dragon throne, while Liu Yu stood beside her like a door god.
This is a simple ceremony of ascension, not a ceremony of ascension. According to the etiquette of the emperor ascending the throne, the ceremony of ascension must be basically prepared before it can be carried out, which also includes content such as mourning and filial piety. However, this new emperor ascending the throne is different from the past. It is abdication. Many steps in the ceremony can be omitted, but they cannot be careless.
Qier sat on the dragon throne, and Liu Yu immediately took out another edict from his arms. This was the "Anmin Edict" after the new emperor ascended the throne. Qier took it and passed it to Qu Ning on the side. Because Eunuch Wu was a fan of Su Yan, the new emperor ascended the throne was also sure that he would "retire and return home" after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Qu Ning is much more demeanor than Eunuch Wu. She is like the voice cylinder of the new queen. As soon as she opens her mouth, she makes people feel that her tone is neither humble nor arrogant. Liu Yu even feels that since Qier wants to be the queen, it is a beautiful thing to have a few female officials around her to assist her. At least Qier will not be so resistant and will be easier to adapt to being the emperor.
The content of "Anmin Examination" is very rich, but it is not troublesome to summarize.
The civil officials of the court did not mobilize them, and the old system of the old and small dynasties was still inconvenient, which was equivalent to a smooth transition. No major measures were proposed for the new emperor to ascend the throne. As for Anchang'an City and the people of the four seas, a measures to recuperate and recuperate were established in the Anmin Imperial Examination, which was also conveying some information to the people of Shun Dynasty that after the Turks were pacified, the court would no longer have large-scale wars to consume people's livelihood.
The old system remains unchanged, and Su Yan's new policy is equivalent to a womb. A reform department originally prepared by the court, mainly young and strong sects, was disbanded on the spot. However, for the merits of this military coup, it is not appropriate to be made immediately because the occasion is special. The Anmin Imperial Examination was just mentioned as "those who have merits are rewarded, and those who have been punished for their crimes". This sentence alone is enough to cause an uproar in the officialdom of Chang'an City. If the new emperor ascended the throne, he would always be given to him as a "sinner".
Although there were not many specific arrangements in terms of personnel, Su Yan's identity was mentioned in the Anmin Edict. Su Yan was no longer the emperor. He was supposed to be imprisoned until his death and no longer had the chance to see the light of day. However, the new emperor was "extraordinary" and only demoted Su Yan to "Southern King". Although the fiefdom and salary were not mentioned in the edict, it was at least at the level of a county prince. This arrangement alone made people feel the New Emperor's courtesy to Su Yan. Others did not know that Liu Yu was ready to send Su Yan out of Chang'an City and let him live his life in his vassal.
At the end of Anminzhao, the specific time and preparations for the throne ceremony were mentioned. Zuo Xiang Lanhe was the Consul General and Minister of Rites Huang Cheng was the deputy, and smart people also easily realized from this order that Lanhe should have lost power, and letting him coordinate the throne ceremony prepare for his unemployment and prepare for his future position.
Right Prime Minister Han Sheng transformed himself into a unique prime minister and restored his honor to be a single prime minister. All matters in the court will be done by others, and his status is different from those in the past.
After the Anmin imperial edict was read out, all officials knelt down to receive the order. In fact, this was also a swearing allegiance to the new emperor. With the end of the simple ascension ceremony, all officials were about to withdraw from Fengcui Palace. The new emperor would summon ministers from various ministries and yamen one after another to interrogate the specific situation of each government. This was a way for the new emperor to understand the government affairs.
