Chapter 57
The first thing the prince did after he ascended the throne was to clean up the soldiers who rebelled with King Liang, and put them in the sky prison, and wait for the Ministry of Punishment to sentence them in the future.
Another thing is to ask the Ministry of Rites to undertake the funeral of Emperor Daxing.
The Minister of Rites agreed to the matter tremblingly.
The sun is also shining brightly. Unlike the cold and lonely imperial palace, the streets of the capital are still bustling. When the bell in the imperial city rang, the smiles on the faces of the people began to solidify. Everyone held their breaths and waited quietly. They counted silently, and after hearing more than 20 bells, they all knelt down on the ground with sad faces and wept in low voices.
After nine nine 81 bells, a guard with a white satin around his waist came out from the palace gate and posted the obituary just written by the Ministry of Rites on the city wall.
Some people in the crowd who had been to school for a few days read out the contents of the obituary.
After hearing this, the common people lamented that the emperor's fate was shallow and the king of Liang was loyal, and their resentment towards the king of Yunnan added another layer.
It turned out that the obituary stated the cause of Emperor Daxing's death as an assassination organized by the remaining party of the King of Yunnan, and changed the death of King Liang to blocking the knife for Emperor Daxing.
There is only one reason for Tang Yi to do this, and that is to cover up his ugliness. Da Qi is already in a precarious time, and there will be no more troubles in the royal family and brothers fighting against each other.
After reading the obituary, people on the street stopped what they were doing and went home to remove the bright colors from the house, leaving only black and white.
The wives and the little girls who had not left the court took off the gold hairpins and silk flowers on their heads one after another, and put a small white flower on them. The Beijing officials who had not entered the palace also began to wear court clothes, and covered them with a layer of linen, waiting Following the orders of the palace.
The emperor's funeral was extremely cumbersome. After encoffining, several ceremonies and condolences were required. At the same time, there were also projects to perform performances and repair the imperial road.
At the same time, there is another very important thing to do, and that is to determine the temple name and posthumous title of Emperor Daxing.
Emperor Daxing's father was Gaozong, so Tang Yi appointed Zhongzong for her father. As for the posthumous title, he randomly chose one from the list handed over by the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Gong Wen Shun De Ren Xiao.
The officials and wives cried for seven days before the Qin Tianjian selected an auspicious day for Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace to leave the capital.
On the day when the spirit came out, 72 people carried the coffin out of the Dongtai Gate. The 64 people who led the banners walked in the front, holding high the flags and umbrellas of the people. With all kinds of weapons, flags and all kinds of "burning fire" made of fire silk and satin, it is mighty and majestic. [①]
The road to the imperial mausoleum is a bit far away, and the road is difficult in snowy weather. In addition, worshiping the Taimiao and performing Yuli, a total of nine times, after a lot of tossing, after the underground palace was closed, the sadness and confusion on Tang Yi's face had already been replaced by exhaustion.
On the second day after returning to the palace, the Minister of Rites invited her to hold the enthronement ceremony. Tang Yi ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a good day, and finally set it on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
On that day, Tang Yi, dressed in a black-bottomed red-edged Kowloon gown and wearing a nine-pronged crown, strode into the Tai Chi Hall and ascended the throne as emperor.
The head of the inner palace beat the palace steps outside the hall, and heard three beeps. Because it was still in the period of filial piety, the music could only be set but not played, only the bells and drums were played, and the officials' congratulatory letters were not announced.
The Minister of Rites invited Zhongzong's edict and read it on the tower of Dongtai Gate, so as to prove the "True Son of Man", and then put the "Emperor Dabao" into the House of Internal Affairs.
Only when the enthronement hall was successfully concluded, Tang Yi could truly become the fourth monarch of Daqi.She named her year as Yuanchang, and the year after this year is still counted according to Zhongzong's period. After New Year's Eve, it will be the first year of Yuanchang.
The first imperial decree issued by Emperor Huachang was to confer the title of empress dowager, following Zhongzong's last edict, she conferred the title of empress dowager on the original empress, with the emblem of Gong'an, and the canonization of the original concubine Chen as the empress dowager, with the emblem of Gongmin.
Not long after Tang Yi succeeded to the throne, it was New Year's Eve. Because the late emperor died not long ago, this year's Spring Festival was extremely uneventful.
Ten days after the festival, Tang Yi Kaifeng, the ministers also became active in the court.
On this day, the ice and snow melted, and the melodious birdsong lingered in the hall, the prince became angry for no reason when he saw the memorial on the desk, and simply threw the memorial out.
As soon as Chen Jia arrived at the gate of the palace, he was hit by something, picked it up and looked, and couldn't help being stunned.
"The emperor's harem is empty, and the clan is withered. For the sake of the eternal foundation of Daqi, I implore the emperor to accept the concubine as soon as possible, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."
