At this time, Wan Xiu was summoned by the King of Wei and rushed to Chang'an from the right Fufeng.

At Binmen Bridge, he met the Langguan Yin Xing who was waiting here. As Yin Lihua's younger brother, he was captured and became a slave with his sister, and was rescued by chance. In the civil servant exam last year, his sister encouraged him to refer to it and was lucky to be on the C list. He should have been transferred to the local government as an official, but was left in the palace by the King of Wei as a commander.

Yin Xing held the talisman of King Wei and practiced the ceremony to Wan: "The king ordered the officials to wait here, saying that if General Wan arrived, he did not have to enter the city, and just enter the palace from Baihuque!"

The White Tiger Gate was a palace opened by Wang Mang when he was traveling west in Weiyang Palace. Wan Xiu was able to save a lot of roads and entered the palace without stopping. After arriving at the Sima Gate of the bus, he got off the bus and went into the greenhouse hall to pay homage.

As soon as I arrived next to the palace gate, I heard a burst of hearty laughter. Apart from King Wei, only Ma Wenyuan would laugh so unrestrainedly.

It was obvious that the two were drinking each other and were talking about their joy, but when Wan Xiu walked into the courtyard, he found that the queen was also there and was pouring wine for the two. Could this be a family dinner?

He thought he had come by accident and was about to leave. When the fifth reunion heard that Wan Xiu had come, he stood up and called him to join the banquet.

"Junyou, come!"

Wan Xiu just came forward: "I don't know that the king and the magistrate's family banquet were a coincidence, and I was disturbed."

Queen Ma smiled and said, "Even if it is a family dinner, General Wan can enter. My father said that General Wan is as close as a brother to him."

Ma Yuan coughed lightly, not only that, he almost became brothers even when he was a fifth reunion!

After she asked the maid to arrange cups for Wan Xiu, she also surrendered, leaving only three men.

But Wu Lun said: "Wenyuan and You must have not seen each other for a long time?"

Wan Xiu looked at Ma Yuan, and Ma Yuan also looked at Wan Xiu, stroked his beard that had been white or two and said, "It's been two years."

Wan Xiu also sighed: "Since the beginning of the previous year, the king led his ministers and the eight hundred heroes to the pass, he has never sat together like this again."

The fifth reunification first "treats the way for heaven" with the two of them in Xin Qinzhong, and then formed a team, which was the foundation of entrepreneurship. When they arrived in Wei, Wen Ze Geng Chun and Wu Ze were horses, and Wan Teng two were in charge of soldiers to gain a foothold.

"Last year, Yu conquered Hebei. Guanzhong thanks to Junyou and Cen Junran, Geng Bozhao's garrison. Bozhao resisted the Hu Han and Xiongnu in the north, and Cen Peng guarded Wuguan Shangyu, and asked Red Eyebrows that could not help. Junyou guarded Fufeng for me and resisted Longshu's covetousness. The hard work was no less than that of the generals in Hebei's battles."

Wan Xiu replied: "It's shameful to say that the two generals Cen and Geng are still in the army, but I left the camp and ran back to Chang'an for a banquet."

Wu Lun laughed: "Don't you know why I insist on letting you come back?"

"Because Junyou is different from others."

Fifth Lun took advantage of the drunkenness, one left and one right, holding Wan Xiu and Ma Yuan's hand together and grasped them with ten fingers: "I can have today, and the two of you have made great contributions. I only hope that on the day of becoming emperor, you can be by your side and celebrate with me!"

...

"My dear man was drunk in the palace yesterday. Is the wine of King Wei so delicious?"

Wan Xiu drank very late yesterday before returning to Beique Jiadi, but no matter how drunk he was, he could still get up after the rooster crowed. Chang'an in early summer was already very hot. Wan Xiu stood in the yard, digging well water to sober up, and his wife prepared robes for him. Tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month, which is also a great day for the King of Wei to ascend the throne.

As the Jiuqing and the General of the Crown, Wan Xiu wore a crimson suit with seven-chapter patterns in Huacheng, all with colorful colors, with red shoes on his feet, three-color silver seals on his waist, and a beautiful crown on his head, which made him a little uncomfortable with the helmet.

"Is this robe so small?" Wan Xiu was left at his wife's mercy, feeling a little slimming around his neck.

"Look, it's my good man who has been waiting for the right wind for a long time. He has become fat. Look at his belly."

She reached out to tie a belt for Wan Xiu. She could easily embrace her in the past, but now she was a little trouble.

Wan Xiu's wife was a little resentful. She thought that as a fugitive, Wan Xiu ran to Xinqinzhong. There was no news for several years. It would be fine if she had worked hard to raise the child. Now, as the Nine Ministers and Generals, she didn't say she would take his wife to Youfufeng, and insisted that they stay in Chang'an. She didn't come back for half a year and got drunk when she came back. The couple didn't say a few words in one night. After getting drunk, they muttered "Wenyuan, the king" and so on, and they were angry when they thought about it.

General Wan was also a little ashamed. When he was young, his family was poor and he was engaged in a rookie career. He had a bad reputation. His wife was a good girl from Maoling. She didn't mind his poor youth and was happy to marry him. She had indeed treated her badly over the years.

So his iron heart softened a little, and he smiled and said, "The king said, family members can go to watch the ceremony together..."

"There is no need to be a good person to hold it in until today. The queen has already sent her servants to come and mentioned it!" Mrs. Wan's voice couldn't help but rise a little bit, and she added a few complaints.

"But what did the king think? I thought the ceremony would be held in the palace, and at most it would be the southern suburbs. Unexpectedly, it was placed in Hongmen. There were so many people rushing over in this hot day. It would take a day on the road and it would not be too tired."

"How can we be hasty when we start a major event in this dynasty?" Wan Xiu finally put on his robe, and he didn't seem to feel the tightness - as long as he keeps his stomach closed while walking.

"What's more, Hongmen means a great significance to the king and to us!"

...

The ceremony was held in Hongmen and was appointed by the Fifth Qun. Wang Long, who was responsible for planning the entire etiquette, could only be carried out.

Wang Long's dress is slightly different from Wan Xiu, with his appearance and a pure dress.

On the carriage heading east to Hongmen, Wang Long couldn't help but think of the process of drafting the rituals of the great ceremony of emperorship.

As a Confucian scholar, Wang Long naturally subconsciously referred to the system of the previous generation, such as practicing the ceremony of the Han emperor ascending the throne countless times in the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

When the Han emperor ascended the throne, the third princess was usually the head of the emperor. The ministers took off the old emperor's mourning clothes and put on auspicious clothes to attend the ceremony. At this moment, the evil ceremony began to change from bad rituals to good rituals. The Taiwei took the stage from the ranks to the hall, worshiped the coffin of the late emperor placed there in the north, and then read Cewen. After reading Ce orders, the Taiwei knelt down to the east to give the imperial seal and ribbon to the crown prince, and the crown prince became the emperor.

After the Hanwu period, the Taiwei was changed to General Sima, so Emperor Zhao, King Changyi, and Emperor Xuan ascended the throne by Huo Guang. When he arrived in Ai and Ping, General Sima Wang Mang came to preside over it.

At present, the ministers of the Wei State, who had similar functions to the Han Dynasty, were the National Guard and the General of the Cavalry...

Although the Fifth Reunification started his business in his early years and relied on his father-in-law to build an army, he relied more on his own operations. As the founding king, of course, he would not copy this system and leave troubles to future generations, so he did not accept the Han rituals.

So is there any reference value for the new dynasty emperor Wang Mang?

Wang Long came specially with everyone who participated in the New Han Zen ceremony: Grand Tutor Zhang Zhan and Grand Tutor Wang Yuan were all witnesses at that time.

Zhang Zhan is quite old-fashioned: "I remember it was the first day of the first month of the first year of the founding of the Kingdom of China. Wang Wengshuo Shuai Duke and Hou Qingshi took the imperial seal of the Empress Dowager, and went to the Han Dynasty to follow the orders of the talisman."

Zhang Zhan is quite nostalgic and still refuses to call Wang Mang directly, just calling him "Wang Weng".

"On the same day, Wang Weng hugged Ruziying and arrived at the front hall..."

Did Wang Mang regard the last prince of the Han family as a prop? Indeed, Zhang Zhan also gave some mercy to the "Last Emperor". Wang Long's uncle Wang Yuan said more bluntly about the past he traced back.

"At that time, I only saw Wang Mang holding Ruziying to the throne. The ministers didn't understand why, and they all called Wang Mang to let go of Ruzi and succeed to the throne as soon as possible."

"But I saw Wang Mang still holding Ruziying, but he refused to let go. The official of the ritual has read a long mission and quoted classics. I don't remember it very much. It almost means that the Han family has lived in twelve years and has lived in the country for 210 years, and its energy has been exhausted."

"After reading the plan, Wang Mang held the son's hand in his hands and sighed, saying, "In the past, Duke Zhou took over the position and finally got his son Mingbing. Now I am alone in compelling the emperor's will to be successful, but I cannot achieve the best!"

"After a long time he lamented, he finally let go of the scare and cry of Ruzi. The ritual officer took Ruzi down to the palace and submitted his ministers to Wang Mang to the north. All the officials were moved."

Wang Long laughed in silence when he heard this. Wang Mang was powerful at that time, could he not dare to move? But it sounds like this. Although Wang Mang pretended to be a god and was looking for the basis for the imperial ceremony, to put it bluntly, he was just bullying the orphans of the Han family.

The feng shui changed. When it was the turn of King Wei to become emperor, members of the clan such as Di Qibiao actually proposed to bring Wang Mang's daughter, the last empress dowager of the Han family, to join, and humiliate two dynasties at one time, but was rejected by the King of Wei.

"Wang Jujun bullies the orphan, but Yu wants to follow him and insult his widowed daughter?"

So Wang Mang's ceremony of becoming emperor was also cracked, which had no reference value.

This made Wang Long and the others suffer, so they could only continue to trace it back and go back to the ceremony of Han Gao’s emperor in one breath. They were all founding kings, so they could always copy it.

So he asked the historians to read the records and found the records:

"Jiawu, he ascended the throne of Emperor Xishui."

Then, it disappeared, and I just remembered this sentence simply, with no details and etiquette!

But just think about it, it is obvious that at that time, Liu Bang had just defeated Xiang Yu, the system was created, and Shusun Tong had not been reused yet, so etiquette can be imagined very simple.

Going further forward, even the old accounts of Emperor Qin Shi's proclaimed emperor were found, and there were few records. I could only consult the doctors of the Imperial Academy. The older rituals of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were even more quarrel.

Alas, if the predecessors didn't work hard, the later generations could only make up based on their imagination. In the end, Wang Long could only devote all his life to the basic links of the ritual of emperorship. Like the current system of the Wei State, it was also the Qin, Han, and the new stitching monster.

"First sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs, then visit the temple of King Wu of Qi in the city, then move to the front hall of Weiyang Palace, perform orders, and then give seals, wear crowns, and finally issue edicts, rewards, and general amnesty."

Except for the seal that was given by Gongsun Shu in Shu for some reason, he could only engrave a new seal, Chang'an has all the other venues: the temples and temples of the Han Dynasty were painted with fresh paint, and the Wei Temple was favored, and the Wei Temple was not enough!

However, when the first draft of this project was handed over, the fifth reunion did not agree. Instead, he waved his hand and decided to change the venue of the ceremony to Hongmen!

This means that many plans need to be pushed back and started over.

It was only half a month before, and Wang Long's head was about to explode. He missed the eighth Jiao very much. What's even more excessive was that the fifth Jiao was not enough, which added new difficulties to him.

It would be fine to set up a "people's ritual group" that required all counties in Guanzhong and even every county under their rule to visit. The worst thing was that the King of Wei directly added a big move to the process.

"A great martial arts performance of tens of thousands of personal guards?"

Wang Long wanted to argue at that time, the boss moved his mouth and the employee broke his legs. If the male and female are still not determined today, it would be better to be simple.

But the fifth reunion statement made Wang Long no longer opposed the grand ceremony.

"Since Emperor Gao of Han, whether it is as wise as Wen Jing, Han Wu Zhaoxuan, or as stupid as Yuan Cheng Ai, they all inherited their father's business. Therefore, they just need to close the door in the front hall of Weiyang, like a snail shell, and even though they are arrogant, they are too far away from the world."

"When Wang Mang likes retro, he does the trick of Yao and Shun abdicating, bullying orphans and widows, and becoming emperor only requires pretending to be a god and demon, holding a child baby and pretending to behave."

"But I am different. I am similar to the Emperor. I started with a three-foot sword from the army and ended up being emperor. I had to immediately pacify the world. I could not make the situation of myself and even my descendants smaller."

"Hongmen is where Yu took over Zhu Tufengyong and owned his first army in his life."

"It is also a place where people openly punish the people and attack the people, raise their troops to fight against the rebellious, and gain justice!"

"Wei's establishment of a country cannot be separated from the word "military" and "civilian". This was the case in the past and in the future, it would be the same for the emperor's career. Therefore, it is also necessary to invite the people to watch the ceremony and perform martial arts in great success!"

"These things are not available in Qin, Han, and New? OK, let's start with Wei! Since the previous kings are not good enough, let the later generations learn from me, the 'Last King'!"

When Wang Long closed his eyes and recalled this scene, his heart was surging. At this time, the bumpy carriage stopped, and the driver said:

"Fengchang, Hongmen has arrived."

Wang Long got out of the carriage and saw the Hongmen Plain with a fresh atmosphere. The King of Wei's personal guard division not only acted as a garrison task, but also participated in the martial arts performance later. He is now doing rehearsals, and his voice shocked the whole field!

There are also representatives from various counties and counties who think this matter is quite novel: they have lived for so many years, and when will it be the turn of the common people to watch the ceremony?

Wang Long gritted his teeth and said to the subordinates of Taiguan, Taizai, Tai Doctor, Taishi and others who had been preparing here for half a month and were almost deformed, "I hope that our preparations for more than ten days will not be in vain, remember them all!"

"Today's events are different from those of Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Zhou, Wu, Qin, and Gao, and each charter must be recorded in the history!"
Chapter completed!
