Chapter 645 Change of Imperial Power
Two days later!
In the dark night, the Xianyang Palace was still brightly lit. At this time, Ying Yu was practicing the process of succeeding to the throne repeatedly.
Shi Huangdi and Wang Jian, who had been watching from the side, just chatted without saying a word from time to time.
When Ying Yu was ready, they realized that it was already bright outside and the sun was about to come out.
Today's Xianyang Palace is quite different from the past, so the opening time of the gate of Xianyang Palace today is much earlier than in the past.
In the past, when the court was in court, it was generally impossible for the ministers to come at this time.
Therefore, at this point in normal times, Xianyang Palace appears extremely deserted.
But today was completely different from usual. After the soldiers guarding the gate of the palace opened the gate of Xianyang Palace, they were immediately stunned by the sight in front of them.
All the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who needed to go to the court had already stood respectfully in front of the Xianyang Palace at this moment.
As soon as the gate was opened, all the officials raised their heads and looked into the palace.
And behind the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there are still a large number of ordinary people.
A large part of these ordinary people originally lived in Xianyang City, and some came here from other counties.
All the people before coming to Xianyang Palace, without exception, were all wearing brand-new clothes, and everyone was radiant after tidying up.
Just looking at the scene in front of me, it is not an exaggeration at all to say that today is the New Year's Eve.
After the gate of Xianyang Palace was opened, all civil and military officials entered the palace one after another.
Of course, even though today is the most special day in Daqin, ordinary people are still not allowed to enter Xianyang Palace.
They came here just to wait for Ying Yu to come out of Xianyang Palace and take a look.
Because of all the procedures of the enthronement ceremony, even the Daqin government did not choose to make it public.
But in fact, such news cannot be concealed at all, and there is no need to deliberately conceal it.
So, what will be the process of today's enthronement ceremony?
After this period of overt and covert transmission, even ordinary people have already known about it.
Part of the ceremony at the beginning needs to be performed in Xianyang Palace, but some of the subsequent ceremonies need to leave Xianyang Palace and go to a specific place.
These people were waiting for that time. In order to see Ying Yu at first sight, they also came here early and formed a long line.
After all civil and military officials entered Xianyang Palace, the whole Xianyang also began to boil, because today's day is too special.
Many people put down the things in their hands, even got up early in the morning, packed up, and walked to the street.
Of course, in such days, those merchants who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune are naturally well prepared.
The customers are already up early, so how can it be too late to open the shop?
So the entire Xianyang City, the streets and alleys are full of busy figures.
However, even merchants who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune also put on new clothes, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
As they expected, no matter what industry the merchants and hawkers are in, the business is very good.
Almost all the large and small shops in Xianyang City are overcrowded.
In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon, because on this special day today, many shop owners have chosen to close their doors.
In this way, there are not many shops that are still operating normally. Coupled with the rapidly increasing population in Xianyang City, good business is inevitable.
At this time, Ying Yu, who had practiced the process several times, was ready.
In the Qilin Hall, all the officials were present. Unlike before, all the officials were standing and no one was sitting down.
Looking at Ying Zheng and Ying Yu on the high platform, all the courtiers showed excitement on their faces.
And Ying Zheng didn't have any ink marks, and directly announced loudly that the enthronement ceremony had officially begun.
Then the First Emperor Ying Zheng and Ying Yu took the lead, accompanied by all civil and military officials, walked out of the Qilin Hall, and headed for the place where the ceremony was held.
All civil and military officials followed behind Shi Huang and Ying Yu.
The first emperor walked in the middle of the procession, leading all the civil and military officials, and beside the first emperor was Ying Yu.
In fact, this only symbolizes a meaning. The old emperor took all the officials with him, walked out of the Qilin Hall, and went to the place where the ceremony was held.
At the same time, the new emperor followed. After all the ceremonies were completed, the old emperor left, and the new emperor of Daqin walked back to the Qilin Hall with all the civil and military officials.
The meaning of the symbol is that the alternation of old and new royal powers is a very important ceremony.
The civil and military officials who followed Shi Huangdi and Ying Yu today also took up the matter with the greatest energy.
Although they don't need to do any extra things today, they just need to follow the old and new emperors.
Kneel down when you should kneel, kowtow when you should kowtow, there are no special requirements.
But often no requirement is the biggest requirement.
In such a thing that has not undergone any systematic training and rehearsal, once one of them does not do it properly, it will be extremely obvious.
And on days like this, if something goes wrong with someone, then his official career will come to an end.
Therefore, the civil and military officials behind them, every time they take a step, do they take the left foot or the right foot first.
Whether they want to be fast or slow at a time, all these require them to cheer up and deal with them, and there must be no problem at all.
Soon, the large army led by Emperor Shihuang and Ying Yu arrived at the place where the enthronement ceremony was held.
This place is actually no stranger to some ministers.
Because it is not the first time they have experienced the change of imperial power, they have also been here before.
Only this time, standing here, no matter if they have been here before or for the first time, they all have the same special feeling in their hearts.
They couldn't explain this feeling clearly, but at this moment, everyone's hearts were full of shock and anticipation.
Soon, the group arrived at their destination.
When he got here, the mission of Shihuang Yingzheng was completed, all he needed to do was to send Ying Yu to this place.
Such a situation, looking at the entire ancient Chinese history, is actually very rare.
Because generally speaking, only after the death of the old emperor, the new emperor can ascend the throne.
Even under normal circumstances, when the old first emperor was ill or unable to take care of himself, the next successor could take charge of court affairs.
From that time on, court officials also regarded Zhunshi Emperor as an emperor.
But the old emperor is still alive, and the new emperor has not yet held the enthronement ceremony, so he is still not an emperor.
Up to this moment, the situation above the Great Qin Dynasty Hall is really rare. The First Emperor is still alive and not sick, and everything can be taken care of by himself.
Under normal circumstances, such an emperor would not abdicate.
But the first emperor was not a person who was greedy for power. Now he only wants to travel every inch of the Great Qin in his lifetime.
