The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Guan, the general name of Benmian, is called an adult.

In ancient times, the crown ceremony had a very special significance.

Even if he is an emperor, he will not be allowed to rule without the official crown ceremony.

King Cheng of Zhou inherited the throne of King Wu when he was young, but Duke Zhou served as regent until he came of age.

Ying Zheng ascended the throne of Qin at the age of thirteen, but he did not take charge until he was twenty-two years old,"with a crown and a sword".

From the emperor to the common people, the crowning ceremony is a"qualification for adulthood". Without the crowning ceremony,"you cannot govern people".

In ancient times, men were crowned when they were twenty, and women were born when they were fifteen.

It is a courtesy to wear a crown and give birth to a son.

Men are not allowed to get married without being crowned. A girl cannot get married without her haircut ceremony.

When a man performs the crown ceremony, he puts his hair into a bun, which is called"hair knot", and then puts on his hat.

In order to allow Li Changqing and his eldest grandson Wujia to get married as soon as possible, Li Yuan specially summoned Kong Yingda from the Imperial Academy to perform a crowning ceremony for Li Changqing in advance.

After the two talked, they decided on a date for the ceremony

……

AD 618, September 25th.

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

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took a bath and changed clothes, and crowned General Tiance in the ancestral temple.

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

In the crowning ceremony of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown of silk cloth was first added, then the crown of traveling far away, and finally the crown of gong.

Li Changqing is the general of Tiance, ranking above the prince and the three princes, and below the prince.

Li Yuan favored him and asked him to perform the crowning ceremony of the crown prince.

Kong Yingda washed and wiped his hands, bowed to Li Changqing as the guest of honor, then held his crown and hairpin in his hand, looked serious, and recited a congratulatory message:

"On an auspicious day and in the same month, you start to add Yuanfu, abandon the word"You", and follow"Er" to become a virtue. Shou Kao Wei Qi, Jie Er Jingfu."

After reading the congratulatory speech, he held the cloth crown in both hands and put it on Li Changqing's head.

Except for Li Yuan, all the civil and military officials present, including Li Shimin, bowed to Li Changqing and saluted. The cloth crown, also known as the Jinxian Crown, It is a kind of ceremonial hat worn when meeting the emperor in the Tang Dynasty.

The crown ceremony begins with adding a cloth crown to show that one has not forgotten his origins.

Putting on the cloth crown, Li Changqing returned to the east room. Under the service of the maid, he took off his four shirts and changed into Put on specific clothes, put on a gold-glazed belt, and change into sky-facing shoes.

Then he left the room and stood facing south with a serious face. The guard held a far-traveling crown and knelt beside Li Changqing.

Kong Yingda held the far-traveling crown in both hands. , recited the congratulatory message again:"On the day of the auspicious month, it is the time when you will be humble, be respectful of your dignity, be virtuous, and have longevity and longevity, and enjoy good fortune.""

After reading the congratulatory speech, he changed Li Changqing's cloth crown and put on the far-travel crown.

The style of the far-travel crown is not much different from the heavenly crown worn by the emperor.

In ancient times, princes and kings often wore far-travel crowns.

Depending on the season, The colors of the long-distance travel crowns worn are also different.

In spring, he wears a cyan long-distance travel crown.

In summer, he wears a red long-distance travel crown.

In autumn, he wears a yellow long-distance travel crown.

In winter, he wears a soap-colored long-distance travel crown.

It is autumn now, and Li Changqing wears a long-distance travel crown on his head. He was wearing a yellow crown.

After putting on the far-traveling crown, Li Yuan came over with a long sword in his hand.

"This sword was forged by two great swordsmen, Ou Zhizi and Ganjiang. It is said that in order to cast this sword, the two of them cut open Mount Ci, released the mountain streams, and led them to seven pools surrounded by the seven stars of the Big Dipper next to the sword-making furnace. , so this sword is called the Seven Star Sword.

After the sword is completed, looking up at the sword body is like climbing onto the ground and looking down into the abyss. It is ethereal and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying on the ground, so it is also called the Dragon Abyss Sword.

The Longyuan Sword was first acquired by Wu Zixu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was later passed down to Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Now this sword belongs to me. In order to avoid the taboo of my name, I changed the abyss to a spring, called Qixing Longquan, or Longquan Sword for short.

I give you the Longquan Sword to monitor all officials, and you have the power to kill them first and then report them."

After he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.

All civil and military officials were shocked.

It is understandable that a gentleman wears a sword, and Li Changqing carries a sword as a courtesy. There is nothing wrong with Li Yuan giving him the Longquan Sword.

But at the same time, he also gave it to Li Changqing to supervise all the officials. , the right to kill first and then report!

This right is too great!

Even the prince does not have the right to supervise all officials and kill first and then report!

Li Shimin's face was gloomy. Even though his city was deep, at this moment, his face still showed a very ugly look. Expression.

The eyes of the civil and military officials looking at Li Changqing all changed.

Tiance Mansion has the power of its own officials, and can recruit its own civil servants and generals just like the Prince's East Palace.

Admiral Tiance has already reached the highest position. The minister is still above the prince.

Now he has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, kill them first and then report them. He is completely inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!

Even the prince is inferior!

Li Changqing's face was dull, he took the Longquan Sword from Li Yuan and said:"Thank you, Father, for giving me the sword."

"Clang!"

He drew his sword out of its scabbard, and suddenly a sword light shot straight into the sky.

Don't you see that Kunwu iron smelting was flying in flames and smoke, with bright red light and purple gas. Liang Gong consulted and sighed, and he made a sword named Longquan.

The color of Longquan sword is like Frost and snow, cold light shimmering, making people feel heart palpitating

"What a sword!"

Li Changqing waved it twice and felt that he couldn't put it down.

After thanking Li Yuan again, he hung the Longquan Sword on his waist.

Crown and sword.

Li Changqing wore the Yuanyou Crown and Longquan Sword. He had completed the second step of the crowning ceremony.

Very soon Soon, two more guards came.

One was holding a robe, and the other was holding a crown.

Kong Yingda recited the congratulatory message for the third time:"With the blessing of the year, with the order of the month, I will wear the clothes, and my brothers will be here, so that we can achieve success." Jue De, Huang Zang has no boundaries, and is blessed by heaven."

He took off the far-traveling crown that only princes and kings can wear for Li Changqing, and put on a flat crown. The crown, commonly known as the flat crown, is also called a crown. It is used by emperors, princes, and three princes when they participate in important ceremonies. The highest-level ceremonial crown worn.

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

The charm of the Pingtian crown is determined by the identity of the wearer. It was decided that there are three, five, seven, nine and twelve points. The emperor is twelve, and Li Changqing’s flat crown is the nine-star crown.

After putting on the nine-hair crown, two maids immediately came over and dressed Li Changqing in military uniforms..

The top of the Gongfu is embroidered with five-chapter patterns of dragon, mountain, Hua Chong and Zong Yi, and the lower garment is embroidered with four-chapter patterns of algae, pink rice, 黼 and 黻, for a total of nine chapters.

The Gun robe and crown are combined into a Gon crown, which is the emperor's crown. , the symbol of the prince.

Li Changqing wore a military uniform, a nine-pin crown on his head, and a Longquan sword on his waist, and was worshiped by hundreds of officials.

After all the civil and military officials finished paying their respects, Kong Yingda said to Li Shimin:"Your Majesty, according to the etiquette system, the elders must The juniors in Guanli are given a pseudonym."
