12dz Chapter 647
Chapter 647
The third step for the new emperor of Qin to ascend the throne is to announce it to the world.
This is also the first time that the new emperor has issued an imperial edict as the emperor of a country.
Such an edict will not only be promulgated in Xianyang City, but also needs to be promulgated by the people.
The ascension of the emperor is basically a major national event, and this time, it is the first time that a new emperor has ascended the throne after the Great Qin unified the world.
Its importance is far beyond the normal situation, many, many.
Even in general cases, taxes will be reduced and exempted, and then the world will be amnesty. Except for those very few criminals who are extremely vicious, everyone else can get a second life.
The main purpose of doing this is actually to make the common people feel that the new emperor is benevolent.
At the same time, when the new emperor issued the edict, he would also change the year name.
The year of each emperor is different. In the future, when recording what happened during the reign of the current emperor, they will say what year, and then what year.
But that was also after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Daqin now has no year name.
Therefore, Ying Yu directly omitted this step.
After accepting the kowtow of the court, Chinese and military officials, the next thing Ying Yu has to do is the third step, the edict to the world.
Ying Yu sat on the dragon chair that originally belonged to the First Emperor, and from now on, this seat already belonged to him.
The Minister of Etiquette next to him brought over a roll of yellow cloth.
When everyone saw the yellow cloth, they recognized it at first sight. It was clearly used by Daqin's imperial decree.
The text that needs to be announced to the world is something that Ying Yu has already prepared.
Taking it out at this time is not for Ying Yu to write the imperial edict on the spot, but only needs him to take the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand and print the great seal belonging to the emperor on it, and it is considered complete.
The three ministers of ceremonies next to them jointly kept the imperial edict. At this moment, Ying Yu picked up the Jade Seal of Chuanguo with both hands, and put down his first big seal on the imperial edict in front of him.
Announcing the imperial decree to the world has been completed, the servant next to him immediately put away, and then walked out of the Qilin Hall quickly.
After this step is completed, it is time to move on to the next step.
Under normal circumstances, Ying Yu would no longer need to leave the palace when he came here, but because of the special nature of the enthronement ceremony this time.
In addition, the people all over the world are so enthusiastic about this, they even rushed to Xianyang City without hesitation, just to witness it for themselves.
In response to this situation, some changes have also taken place in the subsequent ceremonies. For example, now Ying Yu will go to Xianyang Street in person to meet his people.
This is also what the people who rushed to Xianyang City from all over the world are looking forward to most at the moment.
They had already arrived outside Xianyang Palace early in the morning, waiting for what they were waiting for was the moment when Ying Yu walked out of Xianyang Palace.
After handing over the Chuanguo Yuxi to Ying Yu, in fact, there will be no more things about the first emperor this time when he ascends the throne.
Emperor Shi Huang did not need to participate in all the following ceremonies, it was all the work that Ying Yu and the remaining ministers of ceremonies needed to complete.
When he got here, something happened to the first emperor, and he did not follow Ying Yu to leave Xianyang Palace, but suddenly retreated from behind.
So far, the era of the first emperor is completely over.
He calmly withdrew from Xianyang Palace. Although many ministers looked at him halfway, this was actually just a final farewell.
But this was also the day that Emperor Shihuang had been waiting for, so even though he seemed a little lonely at the moment, he didn't care.
After Ying Yu left Xianyang Palace, all the ministers of the court followed, regardless of whether they were civil or military.
Now that the new emperor has to go out to tell the people in person, how can they, who are courtiers, not keep up?
Not long after, Ying Yu finally arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace.
Soon, someone spotted Ying Yu and the civil and military officials behind him, and after being slightly stunned, they shouted at the top of their voices.
"It's His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is here."
It's just that this excited young man just yelled a few words before he was slapped severely by an old man beside him.
"You bastard, Your Highness has ascended the throne and is the emperor of my Great Qin."
The old man's angry voice made the crowd even more excited.
"That's right, that's right, it's my new emperor of Great Qin who is walking towards me right now."
"Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Daqin for ten thousand years!"
Afterwards, shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami swept across the entire city of Xianyang like a tidal wave!
Looking at the people in front of them, who were already blushing because of their loud shouts, Ying Yu waved his hand lightly.
"Take the edict."
Following Ying Yu's instructions, Qin Feng, who was at the side, immediately handed over a scroll of imperial edict to Ying Yu.
This is another imperial decree, not the same as the one brought out by the servant just now.
After Ying Yu received the imperial decree, he slowly opened it. Originally, this kind of work didn't need him to do it himself.
But the people were too enthusiastic, and their anger had already reached this point, so Ying Yu could only read out the imperial decree in person.
The moment Ying Yu spoke, Xianyang Street, which was still full of people, suddenly fell silent. Everyone was quietly listening to Ying Yu's words, as if they were afraid of missing a word.
This edict to the people is not very long, and it didn't take long for Ying Yu to finish reading it.
When Ying Yu finished reading the last word, just like the officials who were in front of the altar just now, all the people knelt down on their knees and kowtowed to Ying Yu.
He shouted, Your Majesty, ten thousand years, Great Qin ten thousand years!
Ying Yu said loudly with a smile on his face, "Everyone is flat."
After everyone stood up, they all patted their brand new clothes with smiles on their faces.
In such an atmosphere, Ying Yu made another decision that made all the officials cry inwardly.
Because this is only the entrance of Xianyang Palace, there are still many people who have not seen Ying Yu.
So the decision Ying Yu made was to take all the officials around the city on foot so that all the people in Xianyang could see him.
One must know that Xianyang City is not what it used to be today. After several expansions, it has already become the largest city in the world. It may take a few days to walk around the city on foot.
Although the hundreds of officials complained in their hearts, no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Ying Yu walked in front, and all the officials followed behind.
Today's grand event is indeed much more lively than the New Year's Eve.
Many people saw Ying Yu for the first time, and they were all shocked by the young man in front of them.
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the crown prince whose legend has spread all over the world, would be so young.
"Is Your Majesty 20 years old?"
"It is said to be over 20 years old."
"Your Majesty is so young!"
"It's good to be young. The younger your majesty is, the longer you will be in power, and my Daqin will become better and better."
Ying Yu did not stop the common people from discussing.
However, there are too many people in Xianyang City now, especially on this special day today, the entire Xianyang City has been surrounded by people from all over the world, so the speed of Ying Yu's progress can be said to be very slow.
At this speed, if you want to walk around Xianyang City for a week, I'm afraid it will take at least a week.
Ying Yu shook his head helplessly, he was still too young.
But fortunately, Ying Yu is a person who listens to persuasion. Under Xiao He's suggestion, he chose to withdraw his life and changed it to walk around the main street of Xianyang City.
But even so, after this lap, it was already sunset.
