Chapter 258 The Throne Ceremony
Everyone got beauty and health products, exquisite swords, jade, or interesting toys, and they were all very happy.
Shangguan Chengwei looked at the happy family in front of him, his heart full of emotion:
"Today is truly one of the happiest moments in my life. Seeing you all so harmonious and loving is heart-warming."
Shangguan Yun bowed and said, "Father, don't worry, I will follow your teachings and live in harmony and love with you."
Shangguan Chengwei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
“I have been in Dasheng for several months and have experienced its customs and culture.
I also saw where Dasheng was superior to Daxia.
I think we in Da Xia also need to learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses, and continue to develop and progress.
When Qinghe gets married, I will bring a team to Dasheng to learn from him." Everyone responded in unison.
Shangguan Jing looked at Qinghe and Bailiye and said:
"To celebrate my eldest brother's ascension to the throne, King Chen and Qinghe brought this year's newly discovered crops as gifts to Daxia, hoping that the people of Daxia can also have enough food and clothing."
Shangguan Yun was very surprised and asked, "Is what my second brother said true?"
Shang Yajun smiled and said:
"It's true. We have seen many new crops in the past few months at Lao Er's house, including potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, with a much higher yield per mu than rice. These crops were discovered by Qinghe and are being planted on a trial basis.
I heard from He Yatou that sweet potatoes have a higher yield, but unfortunately we were in a hurry to come back to attend your coronation ceremony and were unable to see the yield of sweet potatoes per mu.
After your coronation ceremony is over, we must hurry back, hoping to see the sweet potato harvest when we return."
Shangguan Yun heard that his father, the emperor and his mother were going back to Dasheng, and thought that since Qinghe was going to get married, it was normal for them to go back.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Qinghe to be so amazing. He actually discovered a new crop. This way, our Daxia people will also benefit from it. Qinghe, uncle thanks you very much, and thank you, King Chen."
Baili Ye smiled and returned the greeting:
"Uncle, you are too serious. Although Xiaohe discovered the crop in Dasheng, it was handed over to the court so that the people of the world could have enough food and clothing.
Xiaohe also invented agricultural tools such as the plow and harrow to help farmers with farming, greatly reducing the workload of people in farming.
Father said that Xiaohe's contribution will benefit the present and future generations, and should be promoted to Daxia."
Shangguan Yun said solemnly: "King Chen is right. From now on, Dasheng and Daxia will be one family. Our two countries should communicate more in the future."
"Yes." Qinghe and Baili Ye responded.
After the banquet, the coronation ceremony was soon held.
On the day of the coronation ceremony, the sun poured down on the palace of Daxia. The glazed tiles shone brightly, and the red carpet stretched from the palace entrance all the way to the platform, like a bright ribbon.
The court musicians played passionate music, the sound echoed throughout the palace, making people's hearts surge.
Shangguan Yun, wearing a specially made dragon robe and a dazzling crown on his head, led his ministers to the Temple of Heaven and the Imperial Ancestral Temple to perform a grand sacrificial ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in order to comfort the ancestors of heaven and earth and pray for God's blessing.
After completing the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Shangguan Yun, surrounded by his ministers, walked steadily and calmly along the red carpet to the platform and solemnly ascended the throne.
Civil and military officials stood in the hall in order of rank, paid homage to the emperor and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Shangguan Yungao sat on the throne, looking majestically at His Highness and his ministers.
The general stepped forward, took the imperial edict, slowly unfolded it, and solemnly read:
"I have heard that the will of heaven is unpredictable and only virtue can support it. Since the founding of the country by the late emperor, the country has been prosperous for several generations.
I ascend the throne today, accepting the mandate of Heaven and continuing the work of my ancestors.
I will work diligently to carry forward the great cause of my ancestors and ensure the well-being of the people.
We should govern the country with benevolence and justice, and comfort the people. I will work hard to govern the country, promote benefits and eliminate disadvantages, so that our country will be rich and the people will be strong, and the four seas will be peaceful.
I will recruit talented people widely and select those based on their abilities, so that all knowledgeable people can serve the country.
Focus on agriculture and sericulture, promote commerce, prosper the economy, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Clean up the bureaucracy, severely punish corruption, and ensure a clean and honest court.
I should value peace, live in friendship with neighboring countries, and build a peaceful world together.
However, if anyone offends Daxia, I will mobilize the entire country to resist him and protect the dignity and glory of Daxia.
From today on, I and you, my subjects, will work together to create a brilliant future for Daxia. I decree this!"
All the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!" The sound was deafening, as if it would break through the sky.
Shangguan Yun stood on the high platform, facing the crowd, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
"Today, I officially ascend the throne. I will shoulder the responsibility of Daxia's rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and lead Daxia to prosperity!"
All the ministers shouted in unison again: "Long live the emperor!"
Shangguan Chengwei sat aside, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride. He nodded slightly and said softly:
"Yun'er, I believe you can become a wise ruler."
Shangguan Yun looked at his father and responded solemnly: "Don't worry, father. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, Shangguan Yun began to issue a series of decrees concerning various aspects such as people's livelihood, military affairs, and economy. The ministers listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
After the imperial edicts and decrees were issued, envoys from various countries came to the palace to offer congratulations.
The first to arrive were the envoys from Dasheng, who slowly walked into the palace carrying several boxes of precious gifts.
One of the boxes was filled with carefully written pinyin literacy books, which were beautifully printed and illustrated, and were designed to help the people of Daxia better learn and master written knowledge.
There are also several boxes containing seeds of various new crops, including plump-grain corn seeds, round potato seeds, etc.
Along with the seeds comes a detailed planting method manual, which clearly records key information such as the sowing time, planting points, maintenance techniques, and harvest season for each crop.
The Dasheng envoys respectfully presented these gifts to Shangguan Yun and conveyed the Dasheng emperor's good wishes and expectations for Daxia, hoping that these gifts would help the development of Daxia's agriculture and make people's lives more prosperous.
Shangguan Yun accepted these gifts with great joy and expressed deep gratitude for Dasheng's generosity. He was well aware of the importance of these gifts to Daxia, and he was more determined to lead Daxia towards prosperity.
Afterwards, envoys from other countries also presented their gifts.
The Turkic envoys brought with them precious snow wolf fur. The snow-white fur sparkled brightly in the sun, symbolizing the Turks' respect and congratulations to the new emperor of Daxia.
The Turkic envoys respectfully presented their gift list and expressed their sincere hope for friendly relations between the two countries.
Then, the envoys from Xiliang also arrived.
They carried boxes of colorful treasures, including rare gems, unique handicrafts, and precious herbs that could cure all kinds of poisons.
The Xiliang envoy conveyed the Xiliang Emperor's blessings and greetings to the new Emperor Shangguan Yun with a smile on his face.
The envoys from Yuezhi brought with them the local fine wines, the aroma of which seemed to make people smell the breath of the land of Yuezhi.
In addition, there are gorgeous brocades embroidered with gold and silver threads, demonstrating the Yuezhi's superb craftsmanship.
The Yi envoys presented several exquisitely crafted ship models, symbolizing the unimpeded maritime trade between the two countries.
They also brought some mysterious ocean treasures that opened everyone's eyes.
The arrival of envoys from various countries made the Daxia court extremely lively. Shangguan Yun warmly received them one by one and expressed his sincere gratitude for their congratulations.
The entire coronation ceremony continued in a solemn and warm atmosphere until the sun gradually set and the afterglow cast on the palace, adding a touch of sacredness to the day.
