Chapter 904: Walking Meditation Lets Qi Dynasty Song Dynasty
This voice also spread to the ears of the surrounding officials and people, and then passed through them to Bianliang, Tokyo. Some people were terrified when they heard the words, and some were painful and cursing, but more of them were overjoyed.
The reason is that the performance of the officials of the Song Dynasty when the Jin soldiers went south was really unpopular. On the other hand, since Grand Master Lu came to power, order has been restored in Beijing, the government has been cleared up, and various industrialization processes And with the gradual popularization of more advanced agricultural technology, the lives of the people are getting better and better.
Comparing the two, many people have long been looking forward to Grand Master Lu replacing the Zhao family as the emperor. Now that the big rock has finally landed, they have begun to think about how to celebrate this event.
In the early morning of the next day, the streets of Bianliang, Tokyo were paved with loess, and clear water was sprinkled on the ground. The imperial army and imperial guards stood on both sides of the street. Zhao Gou personally led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome Grand Master Lu’s triumphant return from the Northern Expedition. Many people spontaneously set up incense cases at the gate. , to welcome Grand Master Lu's return, and after the Kingdom of Jin was completely wiped out, the people of the Song Dynasty could finally stand up and speak.
Zhao Gou, the leader, was pale, holding a boxy object wrapped in yellow satin in both hands, but anyone who still had a brain would know what it contained after a little thought, it must be a jade seal. The next time he went out to welcome Zhao Gou, he would present the jade seal to Taishi Lu on behalf of the Song Dynasty royal family, and ask him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Most of the officials accompanying him were beaming. After following brother Yuanwai for so long, they finally saw him enthroned and declared himself emperor. Dai Zong subconsciously thought of Song Jiang, and couldn't help but sigh. Now it seems that there is a difference of 100,000 between Brother Gongming and Brother Yuanwai. Eight thousand miles, one was killed and injured by the imperial court, and the other directly took the country of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, there are also a few people who are confused. As the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, seeing the demise of the Song Dynasty, they will inevitably feel a little depressed, but when they think of the comparison between Grand Master Lu and officials like the Song Dynasty, they feel that this is not a bad thing. , On the one hand, there is loyalty to the Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, the longing for the new emperor to ascend the throne, these people can be said to have complicated emotions.
As for those die-hards who opposed Grand Master Lu, they have already been dealt with by Wen Huanzhang and Shi Qian, and they are all locked up in the prison now.
Zhao Gou led a group of officials to welcome him ten miles outside the city. After a while, Shen Long also led the army. When he saw Zhao Gou, Shen Long did not salute. When he saw Zhao Gou, he only needed to bow his hands a little bit; secondly, he was about to abdicate soon, and he didn't bother to salute Zhao Gou.
Shen Long didn't get off his horse until he was in front of Zhao Gou. He just stared at Zhao Gou in a daze. Zhao Gou's forehead was covered with sweat. He was so nervous that he almost forgot what Chai Jin told him before he set off. Chai Jin was still behind. Reminding in a low voice, Zhao Gou remembered what he should do now.
Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials and the whole army, Zhao Gou took a step forward, held up the jade seal with both hands and presented it in front of Shen Long,
He said in his mouth, "Congratulations to Taishi Lu on his triumphant return. Taishi Lu's meritorious service is unrivaled in the world. He fulfilled the fate of heaven and followed the hearts of the people. I, the Zhao family, have poor morals and should not continue to rule the world. I also invite Grand Master Lu to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor!"
"A little credit, nothing to worry about, officials don't want to do that." Shen Long began to decline for the first time.
"My Zhao family is incompetent, which caused the Central Plains to be repeatedly invaded by foreign races. First, Liao, Xixia, and then Jin. Even a small country like Jiaozhi dared to bully my Central Plains. My Zhao family is really ashamed. Fortunately, the heavens Grand Master Lu, try to save the sky, with Grand Master Lu here, I will have no worries in the Central Plains, please don't refuse." Zhao Gou pushed Yuxi over again.
But his heart was extremely sour, the emperor was willing to give up the throne, let alone perform such a trick in front of so many people, Zhao Gou was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
"Please also ask the grand master to ascend the throne as soon as possible!" As soon as Zhao Gou finished speaking, Wen Huanzhang bowed down with all the civil and military officials in unison, begging with one voice. The abdication is not only a matter of the Zhao family and Grand Master Lu, but also a matter of to them.
Shen Long declined again, and then Zhao Gou persuaded him to enter for the third time. This time, the whole army and the surrounding people also bowed down together. More than 100,000 people persuaded Taishi Lu to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
After the process of three words and three concessions was completed, seeing that the Zhao family, civil and military officials, all the soldiers of the army, and the common people all supported him as the emperor, Shen Long took the jade seal from Zhao Gou and held it high above his head. Immediately, there was a roar of cheers like a tsunami, "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Shan yelled several times, and after everyone quieted down, Shen Long began to speak. He first thanked everyone for their support, said that after he ascended the throne, he would treat the people well, and then praised Zhao Gou for being wise to follow God's will He said that he was tolerant and magnanimous, and Zhao Gou could still enjoy wealth in peace in the future.
Hearing this, Zhao Gou just breathed a sigh of relief, at least his own life was saved, and he must not be like that Li Yu in the future, and make any actions that offend the new officials, and live in peace with the door closed in the future.
After commending the civil and military officials and the people of the world, Shen Long gave up his horse, put on a yellow robe under the service of everyone, and stepped on the big jade scorpion brought by Zhao Gou, and the team marched towards Tokyo again.
When he left the city, Zhao Gou was still the official family, but when he returned to the city, the one in the yellow robe was replaced by Grand Master Lu. This scene made countless people feel emotional.
Entering the city, the common people were overjoyed to see this scene, they all bowed their heads and shouted long live. Amidst the cheers of all the people, Shen Long slowly entered the palace.
The formal abdication and enthronement ceremony still need a little time to prepare. Before that, there is still a lot of work to be done, such as determining the country name of the new dynasty, determining Shen Long's year name, and so on.
Regarding the country name, Wen Huanzhang led the civil servants to provide several options, among which the most popular ones were Qi and Wei, both of which had their origins.
It is generally determined that the name of the new country is based on the birthplace, fiefdom, official title, etc. of the new monarch. Lu Junyi's ancestral home is Daming Mansion, and Daming Mansion was the territory of Wei State in the Spring and Autumn Period, so some people proposed to use Wei as the country name; It started in Liangshan, and Liangshan belonged to Qi State.
Shen Long thought for a while and said, "I can have what I am today, thanks to the support of brothers in Liangshan. If so, let Qi be the name of the new country!"
Everyone took orders, and the Liangshan brothers were overjoyed, saying in their hearts that Brother Yuanwai really was a nostalgic person; but the civil servants who were familiar with history books had another idea. Therefore, in the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, is there really God's will in the dark?
