Crown, is the general name of the crown, called adult.
In ancient times, the coronation ceremony had a very special meaning.
Even the emperor, if he didn't perform the coronation ceremony, he couldn't rule personally.
King Cheng of Zhou inherited the throne of King Wu when he was young, but the Duke of Zhou acted as regent until he reached adulthood.
Ying Zheng became the King of Qin at the age of thirteen, but it was not until he was twenty-two years old, wearing a crown and a sword, that he took over the government.
From the Son of Heaven to the common people, the coronation ceremony was "the qualification of adults". Without the coronation ceremony,"one cannot govern people".
In ancient times, men wore crowns at the age of twenty, and women wore hairpins at the age of fifteen.
It is the ceremony to give birth to a son after wearing a hat.
Men are not allowed to marry without a coronation ceremony. Women are not allowed to marry without the ceremony of marriage.
When the man performed the coronation ceremony, he tied his hair into a bun, which was called "knot", and then put on the hat.
In order to let Li Changqing and Zhangsun Wugou get married as soon as possible, Li Yuan specially summoned the Imperial College's Chancellor Kong Yingda to perform the coronation ceremony for Li Changqing in advance.
After the two of them talked, they decided on the date of the coronation ceremony.
……
Year 618, September 25th.
The sun was bright and the blue sky was clear.
The founding emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Yuan, bathed and changed his clothes before performing the crown ceremony for the Heavenly Strategy General in the ancestral temple.
All the civil and military officials of the court were present.
In the crown ceremony of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown of black cloth was added first, then the crown of distant travel was added, and the crown of Dagon was added three times.
Li Changqing was the general of the Heavenly Strategy Department, ranking above the prince and the three dukes and below the prince.
Li Yuan doted on him and made him perform the crown ceremony.
Kong Yingda washed his hands and wiped his hands. As a guest of honor, he bowed to Li Changqing. Then, he held a hairpin and read a congratulatory message with a serious expression.
"Auspicious day and month, begin to wear crown clothes, abandon your young word, follow your virtue. Longevity is a blessing, and you are blessed."
After reading the congratulatory speech, he held the black cloth crown with both hands and put it on Li Changqing's head.
Apart from Li Yuan, all the officials present, including Li Shimin, bowed to Li Changqing.
The black cloth crown, also known as the Jinxian crown, was a hat worn by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The crown ceremony first added a black cloth crown, indicating that he did not forget the beginning.
After putting on the black cloth crown, Li Changqing returned to the east room. Under the service of the palace maids, he took off his four clothes and changed into a special set of clothes. He tied a gold-rimmed glass belt and changed into the Heaven Facing Shoes.
Then, he left the room and stood facing south with a serious expression.
The guard held a crown and knelt beside Li Changqing.
Kong Yingda held the Wandering Crown with both hands and read the congratulatory speech again."On the auspicious day of the month, you should wear your clothes, be respectful, be virtuous, live forever, and enjoy Hu Fu.”
After reading the congratulatory speech, he changed the black cloth crown for Li Changqing and put on the traveling crown.
The style of the crown was not much different from the crown worn by the emperor.
In ancient times, princes often wore travel crowns.
According to the season, the color of the crown would be different.
In spring, he wears a blue travel crown.
In summer, he wears a red travel crown.
In autumn, wear a yellow travel crown.
In winter, he wears a black travel crown.
It was autumn, and Li Changqing was wearing a yellow crown.
After putting on the crown, Li Yuan walked over with a long sword in his hand.
"This sword was forged by Ou Zhizi and Gan Jiang, two great swordsmen. Rumor has it that in order to forge this sword, the two of them chiseled open Ci Mountain and released the stream in the mountain to lead it to the seven pools that formed a ring of seven stars beside the sword forging furnace.
When the sword was in front of him, looking up at the body of the sword was like looking down at the abyss from the ground. It was as if there was a huge dragon lying on the ground, so it was also called the Dragon Abyss Sword.
Longyuan Sword was first obtained by Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later passed to Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. Now this sword belongs to me. In order to avoid my name, I changed Yuan to Quan, called Seven Star Longquan, or Longquan Sword for short.
I give you the Longquan Sword to supervise the officials and have the power to act first before reporting.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
All the officials were shocked.
A gentleman carries a sword. It was understandable that Li Changqing carried a sword during his coronation ceremony.
It was understandable that Li Yuan had given him the Dragon Spring Sword.
However, at the same time, he also gave Li Changqing the right to supervise the officials and act first before reporting!
This power was too great!
Even the Crown Prince did not have the authority to supervise the officials and act first before reporting!
Li Shi Min's face was gloomy. Even though he was shrewd, his expression was still very ugly at this moment.
The way the officials looked at Li Changqing changed.
The Heavenly Policy Manor had the authority to recruit their own officials, just like the Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace.
The Heavenly Strategy General was already a high ranking official, even above a Prince.
Now that he had the power to supervise all officials and act first before reporting, he was completely below one person and above ten thousand people!
He couldn't even compare to the Crown Prince!
Li Changqing's expression was calm. He took the Dragon Spring Sword from Li Yuan and said,""Thank you, Imperial Father, for bestowing me with the sword."
"Clang!"
He unsheathed his sword, and a sword light shot into the sky.
Don't you see Kunwu iron smelting flying smoke, red light purple gas are bright. A good craftsman sighed and sighed. He cast a sword named Longquan.
The Dragon Spring Sword's color was like frost and snow. It was shining with a cold light, making one's heart palpitate.
"Good sword!"
Li Changqing waved it twice and felt that he couldn't put it down.
After thanking Li Yuan again, he hung the Dragon Spring Sword on his waist.
He wore a crown and a sword.
Li Changqing was wearing the crown and the Dragon Spring Sword. He had already completed the second step of the coronation ceremony.
Soon, two more guards came over.
One of them was holding a royal robe, while the other was holding a crown.
Kong Yingda recited the congratulatory speech for the third time." With the right year and the order of the month, all of us are in mourning. Our brothers are all here to achieve our virtue. The yellow and boundless sky will receive the blessings of heaven.”
He took off the traveling crown that only the princes could wear and put on a flat crown for Li Changqing.
The crown, commonly known as the flat crown, also becomes the streamer crown. It was the highest grade ceremonial crown worn by emperors, princes, and three dukes when they participated in important ceremonies.
For example, Li Yuan was not wearing the crown he usually wore in court, but a flat crown with streamers.
The crown of the flat crown was determined by the identity of the wearer. There were three, five, seven, nine, and twelve.
The emperor had twelve streamers, and Li Changqing's Pingtian Crown was a nine-streamer crown.
After putting on the nine-tasseled crown, two palace maids immediately came over and helped Li Changqing put on his royal clothes.
The upper part of the robe is embroidered with five patterns of dragon, mountain, Chinese insect and Zongyi, and the lower part is embroidered with four patterns of algae, pink rice, Fu and Fu, totaling nine patterns.
Dagon clothes and crowns combined to form a Dagon Crown, which was the symbol of the Son of Heaven and Prince.
Li Changqing was dressed in a ceremonial robe, wearing a nine-streamer crown on his head and a Longquan sword on his waist. He was worshipped by all officials.
After all the officials bowed, Kong Yingda said to Li Shimin,""Your Majesty, according to etiquette, the elders need to give the younger generation a name.”
