Chapter 179: Ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a miracle occurred (additional update today, please vote for me!)

"Your Majesty, the time has come." Old Eunuch Li reminded softly at the door.

"knew."

Zhu Kezang's tone was calm, but the sparkle in his dark eyes was enough to show that his heart was not calm at the moment.

Because after today, he is no longer King Yanping, but His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Kezang, wearing a brand new uniform, stood up and opened the door, ready to welcome a new chapter in his life.

On October 1, 1682, before dawn, Pan Aqiang sent Qian Yan to lead the first battalion to closely guard the gates of Dongning Fucheng, while he personally led troops to garrison everywhere in the royal city.

As a spectacle, the Arc de Triomphe must appear during this coronation ceremony.

I saw the umbrella cover of the Arc de Triomphe decorated with ceremonial decorations, and the ground was covered with a long red carpet, covered with silk ribbons, flags and flowers.

Both sides of the Arc de Triomphe were lined with dressed-up ladies-in-waiting and military bands of the Guards.

They are all waiting here quietly for Zhu Kezang's arrival.

Now the king of the Kingdom of Makassar is also detained in Dongningfu by the guards, and he is accompanied by tears from the kings of the Kingdom of Matalan and the Kingdom of Aceh.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang was relatively cautious about the title of knight this time, and had informed his officials in advance that the title of knighthood this time would not be too high.

If you pay close attention when he says the words "I love you all the time", you will find that Zhu Kezang has a trembling voice.

This horse rider wants to bully him for not seeing the world!

The car body is also engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the noble and luxurious style of the royal family.

As for the Duke, he has not been canonized yet.

After careful consideration, Zheng Kezang decreed that Chen Yonghua, Zhu Tiangui, Liu Guoxuan, and Qiu Hui should be conferred the title of marquis.

Immediately, the military musicians played the March of Steel Torrent!

The civil and military officials of the Ming and Zheng dynasties and Prince Zhu Shugui of the Taiping Dynasty first tried to persuade him to join us several times. After trying to persuade him twice, Zhu Kezang did not refuse!

This dragon chariot is driven by six horses in front, and its body is inlaid with gold, silver, jade, gems and pearls from the Luzon Protectorate.

Pan Aqiang, Wang Yang, Qin Zhiguo, Dawula, Yang Ying and Lu Fan were also granted the title of earl.

At this time, Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, Yang Ying and other civil and military officials knelt down and bowed in accordance with the etiquette. Long live the mountain!

Seeing hundreds of people kneeling in front of him, Zhu Kezang Rao had been preparing for this day for a long time and had even rehearsed it by himself, but he was still feeling quite excited and even nervous.

The entire Arc de Triomphe Square was silent, and only the loud voice of Zhu Kezang could be heard: "I, Zhu Kezang, kowtow to the sky, the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers, and the emperor of heaven and earth, but I obey the way of heaven above and obey the people below. On the first day of October, I changed my name to Shenwu.

!”

Zhu Kezang came down in full uniform!

Don't think about this. If there is amnesty, where will he find so many free miners?

Although the enthronement ceremony has been simplified a lot, sitting through the whole process is very tiring, but even if they are tired, Zhu Kezang and a group of ministers are still smiling.

The grand enthronement ceremony is not only a symbol of imperial power and status, but also means the welcome and expectations of the people and officials for the new emperor.

Under Zhu Kezang's repeated requests, the subsequent enthronement ceremony was simple. After he went through the process, he stood under the Arc de Triomphe, raised his head to the sky, and read out his enthronement edict.

For this enthronement ceremony, Zhu Kezang gave full authority to the Ministry of Rites to handle it. The requirement was that it must be simple, whether it is cost or process, not too much trouble, and save as much as possible.

When conferring titles, Zhu Kezang took into account the qualifications and merits of his ministers, and also considered that the new Ming Dynasty only occupied Qiongzhou Prefecture and some small islands in the mainland, and would need to continue to expand the land in the future, which would definitely require another large-scale expansion.

of canonization.

At the auspicious time, bells and drums were ringing all over the royal city. Zhu Kezang was wearing a bright yellow Gong robe and a glazed crown on his head, accompanied by more than a dozen civil and military ministers.

You read that right, the Kingdom of Makassar is real this time. After the Guards captured Suweilaxi Island, they also took over Makassar at once.

Zhu Kezang's dragon chariot was advancing slowly. In the square outside the Arc de Triomphe, civil and military officials had been divided into two rows, waiting quietly for the enthronement ceremony.

Finally, Zhu Kezang's chariot slowly stopped in front of the square.

Outside the Arc de Triomphe Square, there is a viewing platform where envoys from various countries quietly watched this historic scene.

At this time, all the officials on the scene were in high spirits, so naturally no one noticed Zhu Kezang's nervous moment.

Among these envoys, the only ones who were happy were the envoys from Ryukyu. They all sincerely hoped that Ming's father would become stronger and stronger.

An honor guard composed of a thousand Guards No. 1 soldiers escorted Zhu Kezang and took a dragon chariot newly built by the Ministry of Works to the Arc de Triomphe for the enthronement ceremony.

After the announcement, a thousand honor guards in the Arc de Triomphe square let out an earth-shattering cry: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Zhu Kezang made it clear that if you want the title of duke, it depends on who has done enough in the war with the Qing Dynasty to have the chance.

Being an emperor, for the first time in life, is understandable.

As for amnesty?

If you want a higher title, you have to wait until you defeat the Tatars later.

It is worth mentioning that his old friend Thomas from England also sent him four giraffes, saying they were auspicious unicorns to celebrate his ascension to the throne...

He had long been tired of seeing giraffes in zoos.

Then, comes the stage of conferring official titles and rewards.

These envoys came from England, Portugal, Ryukyu, Kingdom of Mataram, Kingdom of Aceh, Kingdom of Makassar, and Satsuma Domain.

However, history always likes to joke. The more grand the enthronement ceremony, the more expensive the emperor was. Often, the emperor was extravagant, and the common people could not feel the magnanimity of the emperor's favor.

After the persuasion is over, the formal enthronement ceremony will follow.

The overwhelming roar was higher than the waves, and the huge roaring sound shocked the envoys who were watching the ceremony speechless, and many of them trembled unconsciously.

On the contrary, those emperors who kept ceremonies simple often focused on reducing the burden on the people and created a prosperous and stable society.

When the shouts at the scene stopped, the new eunuch Li Zhongjie and the eunuch Li Zhongjie held the imperial decree and announced that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty had ascended the throne!

Before ascending the throne, you must be persuaded. You must be humble once or twice, and then the officials will continue to persuade. Then you can only do your duty. If Zhu Kezang is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to do so?

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhu Kezang agreed!

However, the two giraffes brought back by Zheng He from East Africa during the Yongle period were indeed regarded as unicorns by people at that time. I don’t know where these British people heard about this.

Don't reach out to hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention that others are giving you gifts.

The Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette. Naturally, he had to reciprocate gifts given to him by the British. However, he was not one of those emperors who used to flatter his face and pretend to be fat. He had to reciprocate gifts doubled when others gave him gifts.

After Zhu Kezang gave him perfume and drinks of almost equal value, he finally sent the greedy British guy away!

Ascension to the throne is just the beginning, he still has many ideas to do!

At this time, before the enthronement ceremony was over, a golden light suddenly flashed in the distant sky, as if a miracle was happening?
