Chapter 1642 The embarrassed enthronement ceremony

On June 28, the Ascension Ceremony was held on time in Weiyang Palace, Chang'an City.

In order to make the grand ceremony of the throne grand ceremony grand, Jia Chong arranged a team of honor guards of tens of thousands of people, with flags covering the sun and covering the clouds. From a distance, there were crowds of people and the scene was very spectacular.

Sima Zhao nodded secretly when he saw such a spectacular scene. Jia Chong was indeed reliable in his work. This is the most gorgeous scene in Sima Zhao's life, and naturally it requires a big scene. At the same time, so many people participated in the throne ceremony, which also proves from one aspect that Sima Zhao was deeply loved by the people on behalf of Wei and Jin, and was supported by many people, and the will of the people was unstoppable.

Jia Chong was praised by Sima Zhao. Although he agreed with a smile on his face, he felt very miserable inside. The huge ceremony of such a large scale was naturally expensive.

It can be said that for this grand ceremony, Jia Chong was so worried that he could not cook without rice. Now the treasury in Chang'an is already empty and he was unable to make ends meet. In order to arrange this grand ceremony, Jia Chong could only use a fat man to make a fussy person. By selling official positions, he took a lot of cash from the rich family, and even sold his official positions to the lowest-class merchants. Only then did he barely raise some money and then moved them all to the other side, barely dealing with the scene.

However, after Sima Zhao ascended the throne, the newly born Jin regime would inevitably face a serious financial crisis. Although they were all emptied of the treasury in Luoyang when they moved the capital, nearly one million people flocked to Guanzhong, and the resettlement cost was also extremely large. The Guanzhong area has been wars for years. Originally, people were not busy with their lives, so how could they talk about wealth? It was suddenly flooded with so many people, and the financial pressure could be imagined.

Moreover, in order to resist Cao Liang's attack, the Sima family used a considerable amount of money and grain as military expenses. Other expenses could be saved, but military expenses could not be saved. Once the army lacks food and salary, it will inevitably cause a sudden change in the army. Before Cao Liang's army attacked, the Sima army's defense line collapsed first.

The beginning of the ceremony was to read the edict of Empress Dowager Guo's abdication. Empress Dowager Guo had already died at this time, but because Jia Chong did a good job of keeping secrets, almost no one knew about the news of Empress Dowager Guo's death. This edict was undoubtedly forged. Anyway, even if Empress Dowager Guo was alive, she would not be able to come to the scene in person. Reading the edict in public was like a formality.

Next was Sima Zhao's ascension ceremony. Sima Zhao was crowned by the emperor and wearing a dragon robe, step by step towards the platform. The scene was majestic and solemn. The only thing that was the only thing that was the lame leg of Sima Zhao. When he walked, he swayed and looked like a big duck.

Sima Zhao has tried his best to make himself walk smoothly, but unfortunately his leg is really not good. The scene that was originally majestic made Sima Zhao a funny performance. Sima Zhao's appearance move was more like a clown, and many people couldn't help laughing.

But I didn't dare to laugh out loud. If I laugh in such an occasion, it would be disrespectful and even a risk of losing my head. Therefore, many people are holding it in and trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Sima Zhao also knew that his image was not good, but he didn't care much about it now. The long-awaited Nine Five position was right in front of him. He just needed to climb the stairs to pick up the imperial seal and ascend to the throne.

A trace of hot and crazy light flashed through Sima Zhao's eyes. He had been catching the throne for a long time. At this moment, everything he wanted was finally fulfilled. Sima Zhao was so excited. Now no one or any power could stop him from dominating the world.

But Sima Zhao seemed to have forgotten one sentence, that is, there were unexpected storms in the sky. Just as Empress Dowager Guo’s decree was read, the sky was still shining brightly and the wind was bright, but in a flash, the wind suddenly changed, strong winds were flying, sand and stones were flying, dark clouds covered the top, and lightning and thunder were roaring.

Although the weather in June is the face of a child, and it changes at will, it is too sudden. Moreover, when Sima Zhao was about to ascend the throne, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed. This makes people murmur secretly, is it the sky getting angry?

Sima Zhao didn't believe in that evil. He took the wind and walked tenaciously towards the platform. Although he said that destiny cannot be violated, Sima Zhao insisted on going against the will of heaven today, and my destiny is my own way, not the way!

The heavy rain poured down, and everyone was soaked into a chicken. However, before receiving the evacuation order, no one dared to leave the scene easily. Sima Zhao also continued to brave the heavy rain, step by step with his lame legs, gritted his teeth, and headed towards the jade seal step by step.

But at this moment, a "crack" lightning struck the hall, cutting a corner of the hall. The front half of the hall collapsed. Although Sima Zhao held the imperial seal, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him. The entire hall almost collapsed half, and the rolling wood and stone almost hit Sima Zhao.

Jia Chong shouted loudly: "Protect the car!" He hurried to the high platform and escorted Sima Zhao up. The chaotic and farce ceremony could only end in a mess.

Sima Zhao was also full of anger when the throne ceremony was turned into this. He originally hoped that he would ascend to the 95th position under the gaze of the crowd and show his extraordinary heroism, but the weather was not beautiful, with wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and even the hall collapsed. I am afraid that there has been no such tragic sacred ceremonies in all dynasties.

Even the thief God was going to fight him, and Sima Zhao couldn't help but be angry, but no matter what, after the ceremony, the flag of Wei State was lowered and the flag of Jin State was raised. After the Jin Dynasty, he, as an emperor, was justified.

Next, Sima Zhao came to the side hall like a chicken falling into the water. There, Sima Zhao divided the titles, made Sima Yan the crown prince, Li Yan the queen, Sima You the king of Qi, Sima Yichang the king of Langya, Sima Liang the king of Runan, Sima Gan the king of Pingyuan, Sima Jun the king of Fufeng, Sima Jue the king of Qinghe, and Sima Lun the king of Zhao.

Jia Chong was named Shangshu Ling, Xun Yi was appointed as Situ, Xun Xu was appointed Sikong, Wang Xiang was appointed as Shizhong, Zhong Yu was appointed as the attendant of the cavalry, Wang Shen was appointed as the general of the cavalry, and the other officials were awarded the title, and most of them were promoted to the third level, and everyone was not very happy.

In terms of foreign officials, Guo Huai was promoted to the Taiwei, and was also the governor of Yongliang. He still guarded Longxi. Zhong Hui was the general of Zhendong, Hu Fen was the general of Zhennan, and Zhou Tai was the general of Zhenxi. Each guarded Linjin Pass, Tongguan and Wuguan, waiting for the imperial court's orders and dispatch.
