The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

The final arrangements for Silla and Queen Deshan were finally made.

With the unanimous opinion of the ministers, Li Chengdao established the Liaodong Protectorate in Liaodong and took over the power of Liaodong.

Queen Deshan was canonized as a noble concubine and entered the Western Qing Palace.

Queen Deshan personally revised a letter and sent it back to Silla, conveying the Tang Dynasty's decision on Liaodong.

Silla, Jincheng, the prime minister's house.

The prime minister looked at the letter sent to him by Queen Deshan, finally sighed and put the letter aside.

"I was worried about Your Majesty's trip to Chang'an this time. I didn't expect it to be as I expected. Alas..."

The prime minister sighed.

Le Xu is also at the prime minister's house today. Because he helped handle political affairs in Silla for a year, he temporarily took over the newly established position of Liaodong Protector. He is also here to discuss this matter with the prime minister today.

Hearing the prime minister's words, Le Xu couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable, saying: "This is not your Majesty's decision, but the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government unanimously requested your Majesty to recover Liaodong, and your Majesty has nothing to do."

"What's the point of talking about this now? Silla is destined to die in this life."

The prime minister waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Le Xu and said, "Master Le, please pay more attention to the change of power in Liaodong and try to adopt peaceful methods."

"As long as Datang's national policy is promoted in Liaodong, I think the people will not be too resistant."

The only thing he worried about was that the change of power would cause bloodshed, which would lead to riots, and the Tang Dynasty would send troops to suppress Silla. In that case, countless people would be killed or injured.

"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best."

Le Xu nodded and said that he would pay attention to it without the prime minister having to say more. It was also the intention of the court to use gentle means to regain Liaodong.

"Good work."

The Prime Minister nodded, and after chatting with Le Xu for a few more words, he personally saw him off from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Watching Le Xu's carriage drive away, the prime minister returned to his study and sat behind the desk, lost in thought.

There was still a lot of government affairs to deal with on his desk, but it was meaningless now, and he felt both empty and relaxed.

Finally, I no longer have to be busy.

After a long time, he took out a small bottle from a hidden compartment under the desk.

It contains poison.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can achieve your own happiness and no longer be bound by the power of the country."

The prime minister faced the west, with a smile on his old face, and then drank the poison in the bottle.

……

In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhaowu in the Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate was established in Liaodong to take charge of the entire territory of Liaodong.

At this point, the Liaodong Peninsula was returned to the Tang Dynasty, the regime changed smoothly without bloodshed, and the Silla regime came to an end.

……

After Queen Deshan learned that the prime minister had committed suicide, she was depressed for a long time.

The Prime Minister was her teacher, and he watched her grow up and helped her ascend the throne and become king. He was both a teacher and a father.

The death of such an important person by suicide can be imagined as a huge blow to her.

Li Chengdao had no choice but to ask Zheng Ran, Changsun Wugou and other concubines to accompany her and guide her, while he was busy with the crown ceremony.

The crowning ceremony was the most important event after the enthronement. The Ministry of Rites prepared and planned for a month. Even Li Yuan paid personal attention to the matter.

……

AD 630, the seventh day of October.

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was as clear as blue.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Emperor, took a bath and changed clothes, and held a crowning ceremony for the current emperor Li Chengdao in the ancestral temple.

All the civil and military officials of the DPRK were present.

This has never happened before for an emperor to receive the crown only after he ascends the throne. Usually, he has to obtain the crown as a prince or before ascending the throne.

In the crown ceremony of the princes and grandsons of the Tang Dynasty, they first added the cloth crown, then the distant travel crown, and the third was the gong crown.

Now that Li Chengdao is the emperor, he can no longer use the crowning etiquette of princes and grandsons. Instead, he first adds a silk cloth crown, then a sky-reaching crown, and finally a flat heaven crown.

Li Gang, the Minister of Etiquette, washed and wiped his hands, bowed to Li Chengdao as the guest of honor, then held his crown and hairpin, looked serious, and recited a congratulatory speech:

"The auspicious day and month are the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The word "You" is discarded, and the word "You" is followed to become a virtue. The test of longevity is only Qi, and it is Jingfu."

After reading the congratulations, Li Gang held the silk cloth crown in both hands and solemnly put it on Li Chengdao's head.

Then, except for Li Yuan who was sitting in the upper seat, all the civil and military officials present saluted Li Chengdao.

The cloth crown is the most basic crown and hat, which means that one does not forget the origin.

Putting on the silk cloth crown, Li Chengdao returned to the inner room. Under the service of the palace maid, he took off his ordinary casual clothes, then put on a bright yellow dragon robe, tied a gold silk glazed belt, and changed into sky-facing shoes.

After finishing, he left the room and stood facing south with a serious face. There was a maid kneeling next to him holding a crown that reaches the sky.

Li Gang picked up the Crown of Heaven with both hands and recited the congratulations again:

"The auspicious month and the day of the month are the time when you will be well-behaved, upright and dignified, be virtuous, and have long eyebrows and long life, and enjoy good fortune."

After reading the congratulations, he changed Li Chengdao's cloth crown and put on the far travel crown.

The style of the Tongtian Crown is actually not much different from the Yuanyou Crown, but it is more noble and extraordinary.

In ancient times, scholars and great Confucians often wore travel crowns to show their status as scholars.

Those who can wear the far-travel crown are usually people from wealthy families and extraordinary backgrounds. Most people do not have this qualification.

After the second crowning ceremony, two more maids came over soon.

One person holds the imperial crown in his hand, and the other person holds the flat crown in his hand.

The emperor's crown is the most formal attire of the emperor. It is required for daily worship, ceremonies, etc.

The Pingtian Crown is the highest-ranking crown worn by emperors, princes and princes when participating in important ceremonial activities.

Mianguan, commonly known as Pingtianguan, is also called Qiguan.

Just like Li Yuan now, what he wears on his head is not the upward crown he usually wears when he goes to court, but the charming flat crown.

The crown of the Pingtian crown is determined by the identity of the wearer, and can be divided into three, five, seven, nine and twelve.

The emperor's twelve stars, Li Chengdao's Pingtian crown is exactly the twelve stars crown.

After putting on the twelve crowns, two palace maids came over and dressed Li Chengdao in the imperial dragon robe and uniform.

The top of the Gon suit is embroidered with five patterns of dragon, mountain, Hua Chong and Zong Yi, and the bottom is embroidered with four patterns of algae, pink rice, 黼 and 黻.

Li Gang recited the congratulatory message for the third time: "With the correctness of the year and the order of the month, Xian Jia will obey, and the brothers will be here, so as to establish the Yuande Yuan. The yellow ones will have no boundaries and will be celebrated by heaven."

At this point, all three steps of the crowning ceremony were completed. All civil and military officials knelt down and bowed, chanting: "See your majesty, my emperor will live forever——"

"Flat body."

After Li Chengdao received the gift, he said with a majestic expression.

Only then did all the civil and military officials stand up.

Then Li Chengdao walked up to Li Yuan, bowed and saluted, and said, "Please ask the imperial grandfather to give me a cousin name for my grandson."

The bestowal of the title requires the master's father to take it, and women are not allowed. Li Chengdao's only elder who meets this standard now is Li Yuan. ..
