Year 689 of the Heavenly Emperor Calendar of the Great Heaven Continent.
The location was the Forbidden City, the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, which had dominated the Haotian Continent for hundreds of years.
At the center of the Forbidden City, the magnificent court hall of the Imperial Palace was solemn and solemn. An invisible aura of solemnity spread throughout the entire Taihe Palace.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the " Hall of the Golden Emperor ", was 35.05 meters high, 63 meters from east to west, 35 meters from north to south, and covered an area of 2377.00 square meters. The ratio of length to width was 9:5, which meant that it was the most respected.
It was the largest of all the palaces in the Forbidden City, and it was also the most luxurious and magnificent building.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was a hall with five ridges and four slopes. There was a long ridge from east to west, and two slanted ridges in front and back. This formed the roof of the hall with five ridges and four slopes. In architectural terms, it was called the double-eave hall style.
There were 10 beasts on the eaves (Dragon, Phoenix, Lion, Pegasus, Seahorse, Suan Ni, Yayu, Xie Zhi, Bullfight, Xingshi).
The Hall of Supreme Harmony had 72 pillars with a diameter of one meter, six of which were golden dragon pillars that surrounded the throne.
Inside the hall, there were wooden pillars painted with gold paint and exquisite coiling dragon caissons. In the middle of the hall was a symbol of feudal imperial power--a golden painted dragon throne. It was placed on a 2-meter-high platform in the hall. In front of the throne were beautiful cranes, furnaces, and cauldrons. Behind it was a dragon screen.
Taihe Palace was the largest wooden structure in the Great Qin Imperial Palace. It was the most spectacular structure in the Imperial Palace, and it was also the largest wooden hall in Great Qin.
The entire hall was decorated in gold and jade, solemn and gorgeous.
At this moment, there were already tens of thousands of soldiers outside Taihe Palace.
In front of these ten thousand soldiers were a thousand imperial guards in black feather armor.
Tens of thousands of soldiers stood quietly outside Taihe Palace, surrounding the nine-zhang-tall altar that had been trimmed day and night.
Invisible, a somber and heavy atmosphere had already reverberated in the surroundings.
It made the palace maids and eunuchs who were also standing around feel as if they were in the middle of winter, and their bodies were cold.
Outside Taihe Palace, there was a two-meter-wide red carpet that extended from Taihe Palace to the worship platform outside.
In Taihe Palace, all the officials were gathered in the court. Their backs were like pine trees, and their expressions were solemn.
Under the Temple of Heaven in the Forbidden City, countless people were waiting. The streets were filled with people.
"He hasn't come yet. Isn't it about time? Why hasn't he come yet?”Many people said anxiously.
"What's the rush? It's still early. Look, the sun hasn't risen yet. How can it be so fast?”
While everyone was waiting, they suddenly heard the Tai He Bell ringing in the temple. They could not help but know that the time had come and the emperor was coming to worship the heavens. Everyone instantly fell silent. At this moment, even a needle falling to the ground could move their ears.
The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, who had been observing outside the hall, shouted,""The auspicious time has arrived. The coronation ceremony begins!"
Every 50 meters, a person would continue to chant.
Instantly, voices echoed in the quiet and empty palace.
At the same time, a figure had already stepped into the back hall of Taihe Palace.
All the officials looked in the direction they were worshipping. It was a young man, about fourteen years old. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. He was 1.7 meters tall and extremely handsome.
If one were to look at the gaze in his eyes, they would definitely realize that this was not something that an ordinary youth could possess.
This deep gaze was something that only an adult who had experienced the vicissitudes of life would have.
His bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of the sea and the dragon. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, his sleeves were blown high by the wind. His long eyebrows were slightly raised, and his black jade-like eyes flickered with a warm luster. His handsome face reflected the morning light.
As he walked, a fearful aura emanated from Long Yunfeng's body, causing the officials in the hall to lower their heads even more.
Along the way, Long Yunfeng walked on the red carpet, escorted by many ministers and ninety-nine imperial guards, and stepped out of Taihe Palace.
All the officials in the hall followed closely behind, their faces facing down along the way.
Only when they stepped onto the stairs leading to the Heaven Ritual Altar did the officials and Imperial Guards soldiers behind them stop.
When they reached the platform after the ninth flight of stairs, the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor took out the memorial and read it aloud, looking solemn and solemn.
"Let the worship begin." After the ceremonial officer saw it, he immediately shouted,"Your Majesty, please ascend the altar."
Long Yunfeng then walked up to the altar. The others waited below the altar while the ceremonial officer began to recite the funeral rites.
Long Yunfeng had no other choice. The ceremony to ascend the throne was something that had happened since ancient times. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't go against the historical convention. He could only suffer.
As the emperor, not everything went smoothly. There was no way to do this. He couldn't just ignore everything and focus on his own feelings. That would be too selfish. He definitely wouldn't be able to stay in such a world for long.
“….. The three beasts are presented. The emperor is above. The new emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty kowtows to the heavens and kneels.”
As Long Yunfeng kowtowed to the heavens, everyone below the altar also knelt down. They were all nervous and worried.
Since ancient times, offering sacrifices to the heavens was the most important thing. It could not be done carelessly. Otherwise, it would be contempt for the emperor or the heavens. That was absolutely very serious. Even if it was not a death sentence, it was not much different. This was a convention. There was no mercy.
After three kneels and nine bows,
After the recitation, the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor bowed and retreated to the side.
After that, Long Yunfeng turned around and faced the officials below the altar. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a calm and steady voice. Although his voice was not loud, it clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
"I was the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire, and I am of the royal bloodline. I was heavily relied on by the previous Emperor and was appointed as the heir to the throne. I am now the Emperor and I accept the orders of the heavens and my ancestors. I am willing to use my own body and the heavens to protect the foundation of the Great Qin Empire and the blessings of the people. I am the Son of Heaven and will use the Great Qin Empire as the foundation, the people as the grain, and the bones as the tiles. I will establish an empire that will shock the four directions and rule the world with all the countries as my subjects.”
The ceremony hadn't ended yet, and Long Yunfeng couldn't address himself as " I " yet. However, his voice was filled with fear and respect.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. May the Emperor live forever.”His voice was like a tide, echoing in the sky above the entire Forbidden City, shaking the heavens and earth.
Outside Taihe Palace.
Looking at the luxurious and imposing figure on the altar, Wang Huan, Li Zhenguo, and the other officials, as well as the surrounding generals, all breathed rapidly. They felt the blood in their bodies boil.
"This is the ruler of Great Qin, the Emperor of Great Qin. With such an emperor, Great Qin will prosper.”
