Chapter 516 My fate is determined by me, not by God (third update, please subscribe)

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Looking at Qian Deshan who was kneeling on the stone slab and kowtowed his head, even though his head was almost bleeding.

But Zhu Xianhai still smiled.

"Qian Deshan, tell me, why do you want me to take back my order?"

"Your Majesty, this... this reign title is unlucky!"

Qian Deshan raised his head. He couldn't care less about so many things now. If it weren't for the fact that this year was too ominous, he would definitely be able to accept it.

But for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal future, he had to say these words. He said directly.

"Your Majesty, 'Wealth is called great cause, and daily improvement is called great virtue'. The reign title of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, 'Great Cause', came from this sentence. Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is in a prosperous period, so why should we use this reign title? I think Your Majesty can choose from the reign titles proposed by us..."

Yang Guang!

In ancient Chinese history, there were several unified dynasties that lasted only two generations before being destroyed.

One is Qin and the other is Sui!

This is also a unique wonder.

Before Qian Deshan could finish his words, Zhu Xianhai burst into laughter.

"Haha, it's ominous, it's ominous... Yang Guang used "great cause" to achieve great cause in the future, so it can't be auspicious. But here, I really don't agree with this evil theory! I tell you, I am the Son of Heaven, and I don't need auspicious signs to come to the world, because I am the auspicious sign!"

I am auspiciousness!

When he said this, Zhu Xianhai felt a surge of momentum he had never felt before surging through his body.

that is!

I am the sky!

I am the emperor!

Since he is the Son of Heaven, it is naturally auspicious!

It is a blessing from heaven!

"What is auspicious or ominous? As long as I am here, what reign title is not an auspicious title?"

Qian Deshan was dumbfounded by His Majesty's words. While he was impressed by the kingly and domineering aura displayed by His Majesty, he was wondering in his heart - has there ever been an emperor in ancient times who regarded himself as a good omen?

However, who dares to refute this?

What is certain is that no one dares to refute this statement. After all, if anyone dares to refute it, it would be a heinous crime. Who dares to say that the emperor is unlucky?

What is political correctness? This is political correctness!

The so-called political correctness is to tell you a twisted theory and leave you speechless. Even if you want to say something, you have to keep it in your heart and not say it.

A few hours later, when Zuo Zongtang, Wang Youling, Fang Zhanbo and others learned about the reign title decided by His Majesty, they were all stunned for a long time before they spoke.

"Daye, that is..."

Without waiting for Zuo Zongtang to speak, Wang Youling spoke with narrowed eyes.

"Your Majesty is the Holy Lord sent by Heaven to our China. How can such an auspicious sign be ominous? The Left Prime Minister does not need to be too obsessed!"

This bootlicker!

When Zuo Zongtang was secretly discussing this with Wang Youling, he didn't know that Wang Youling was thinking simply - whether the reign title was auspicious or not, the key still depended on the person.

Take the Qing dynasty, no, the pseudo-Qing dynasty, for example. Xian means "general, all", and Feng means "abundant". But what kind of life did the common people live? I guess only the first half of it is correct - they were just people in chaos.

Let's talk about Emperor Kangxi in the past. What kind of life did the common people live? They just ate bran and drank porridge. This is in line with the reign title.

"Has the date of enthronement been set?"

…

December 22, 1870, Winter Solstice.

However, in the southern hemisphere, it was the height of summer. On this day, the military and police patrolled the road from the imperial palace to the "Shoumingtan" in the southern suburbs.

Today is a big day, the day when the emperor ascends the throne. Although people have called Zhu Xianhai the emperor long ago, it was only after he officially ascended the throne that he announced himself as the Son of Heaven!

At 5:10 in the morning, six black BMW 101 cars slowly drove out of the palace. This type of car was a high-end car specially developed by Qianlima Company at the instruction of Zhu Xianhai. Even its appearance was drawn by him himself based on the luxury cars of the 1930s.

After the car drove out of the palace, eighteen military trucks followed behind, filled with guards, and in front of the convoy were a dozen escort motorcycles.

What is certain is that this day ushered in a future, for it was the first time in the world that a fully motorized fleet of vehicles appeared!

On this day, Suzaku Street was clear for the first time. There were no pedestrians or carriages on the main street, but the roadside was crowded with people, many of whom held the Sun and Moon Flag in their hands, which was the national flag of the empire.

When the convoy arrived, many people knelt down. When someone told them that kneeling was not a custom in the Ming Dynasty, they answered loudly.

"As citizens of the Ming Dynasty, we kneel down to worship the Emperor. That is etiquette, and etiquette cannot be abolished!"

Zhu Xianhai couldn’t see what was happening on the roadside, nor would he look at it. He just closed his eyes and waited for the car to arrive at the “Altar of Mandate”.

What does it mean to be appointed by Heaven? It is obvious that...he whoever has the strongest army and the most powerful horses will occupy the throne!

If I didn't have the soldiers under my command, could I ascend the throne and become emperor here?

But I'm afraid it will be the same as the experiences in the simulator, just trying out various kinds of bouquet deaths.

Without strong power, let alone the country, even individuals will be beaten and bullied.

While muttering this in his mind, the car drove for about half an hour, and at exactly 5:30, the convoy stopped at the "Altar of Mandate".

Zhu Xianhai was not wearing a dragon robe, but the emperor's imperial robe and crown, which was a black robe and yellow skirt sewn in accordance with Ming Dynasty regulations, with twelve emblems embroidered on it. Six emblems of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and Chinese insects were woven into the clothes, and six emblems of the Zong Yi, Algae, Fire, Powdered Rice, Fu and Fu were embroidered on the skirt.

The Twelve-Chapter Royal Robe is the formal dress that the emperor wears when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, and major celebrations such as New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Holy Day. Of course, this formal dress must also be worn when ascending the throne.

The twelve-chapter robe made of Linhai silk was not thick and did not feel stuffy even in summer. When getting off the car, Zhu Xianhai looked up at the "altar of ordination" in front of him, which might be just a "small mound" in the eyes of ambassadors from various countries.

But they were uneducated and had no idea what culture and tradition were! They thought that having the Pope crown the emperor was something spectacular and glorious.

In fact, they are just a bunch of old turtles!

The Pope claims to be God's spokesman on earth. Then he crowns those kings and emperors. Is this worth mentioning?

In the East, what is an emperor?

The Son of Heaven is the son of God. He comes to the world to rule ordinary people on behalf of God!

This is what’s really awesome.

The summer breeze blew from the grassland and gently brushed Zhu Xianhai's body. Wearing a full set of imperial robes and crowns, he slowly walked towards the "Altar of Mandate" amid the shocking court drums and music.

The "dong dong" sound of drums echoed between heaven and earth, as if announcing to the world that the emperor had arrived, and also as if telling God - he is here!

He lifted his legs and climbed the stairs step by step, without anyone accompanying him. At this time, no one was qualified to accompany him to the "Altar of Destiny".

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, and he ascends the altar to tell heaven that he has accepted the mission bestowed by heaven - the mission of shepherding the people on behalf of heaven!

This is the duty of the emperor.

He will also receive God's blessing here!

Each step Zhu Xianhai took seemed easy. When climbing the stairs, he even needed to try hard to appear solemn and serious. But he couldn't do it no matter what. How could his world be considered as a destiny from heaven?

On the "Altar of Mandate", he didn't feel guilty at all. Why shouldn't he feel guilty?

Because he conquered this world bit by bit, and snatched it from the hands of Europeans!

What is regime legitimacy?

That's it!

Therefore, he does not need the endorsement of heaven at all, and does not need to announce to the world in this way - I have received the mandate from heaven, and you cannot oppose me!

fart!

When Chongzhen was hanging on the crooked tree, it was not clear that God would come out and strike Li Zicheng with thunder for his son.

So, this is just a formality!

Of course, life is full of ritual. I don’t care, but people all over the world do!

Well, let's give them the sense of ceremony they want! Just fulfill their small wish.

Finally, he stood on the "altar" and faced the heaven. Zhu Xianhai performed the ancient rituals of the Chinese emperor ascending the throne and announcing his ascension to the throne to heaven.

As he knelt on both knees, Zhu Xianhai looked at the edict of accession to the throne in his hand and read in a deep voice:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Our country is founded and named "Da Ming"..."

Zhu Xianhai stopped reading after reading only half of it. This kind of thing drafted by others did not express his thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he said directly.

"The word Daming is taken from the phrase 'Daming from beginning to end' in the Book of Changes. Daming refers to the sun, which means that the Ming Dynasty will always be as bright as the sun. It's a pity that the dream of Emperor Hongwu could not come true. He encountered unfilial descendants and lost the world. He also caused the people of the world to fall into the hands of foreigners. For more than two hundred years, what kind of life have the people lived? It's worse than death! If there really is a God, what you did is not authentic. Even if the Zhu family's luck has run out, you can replace them with a Han Chinese, but who did you replace them with? How much evil have they done to the Chinese nation! You, God, don't want me..."

Complaining about the injustice of the heavens, Zhu Xianhai, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up and looked up at the sky for a long time. At this time, his eyes were full of disdain.

This kind of disdain seems to be a mockery of the unfairness of God. If there really is a God, then this God must be unfair.

"The world is unfair, and the people are crying. Today, I, Zhu Xianhai, have expanded the territory of China thousands of miles away, and brought the Chinese people here to rebuild the foundation of China for eternity! With such great achievements, I deserve to be the emperor!"

Looking up at the sky, there is not a trace of cloud in the clear sky. The sun and the moon are hanging high in the blue sky, and the scene of the sun and the moon shining together is within sight.

"Yes, I am definitely not the emperor given by you, the God. I fought my way out with swords and guns. What does this have to do with you, the so-called God?"

Looking at the sun and the moon in the sky, Zhu Xianhai murmured softly while feeling proud in his heart.

"My God, I'm afraid you didn't expect that... Daming is alive again!"
