Chapter 150 Proclaiming the emperor, hoisting the national flag and playing the national anthem
Not long after, I suddenly heard the sound of "The king has arrived!", and everyone immediately behaved themselves. together They all saluted in one direction: "Welcome your Majesty!"
I saw Ying Zheng wearing a crown and a black dragon robe, escorted by his guards, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and boarded the building where he was proclaimed emperor. And a specially built high platform.
Standing on the high platform, Ying Zheng looked into the distance.
My eyes seemed to have looked over the mountains, across the rivers, and saw all the people of the world rushing towards the county or county town. Whether they were the people of the old Qin Dynasty or the people of the six kingdoms, they were all ready to look at him. What will the king who is about to be called emperor bring to them.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ying Zheng looked at the people in the audience who were saluting him, and said calmly: "No courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When everyone stood up, the Prime Minister Wan Chu's memorial said: "It has been more than hundreds of years since the Zhou dynasty was weakened, and the countries were divided into frontiers. The times of chaos have lasted for more than hundreds of years. The countries have been at war with each other, and the people have been bleeding. All the people in the world have been All of us seek to end the troubled times and stop conquests..."
This is also a part of the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor. It is not good to not explain anything. Ying Zheng himself took the stage and directly announced, "I am the emperor today and will be the emperor from now on. You must call me 'Your Majesty'!" Of course, we must first talk about Da Qin and his achievements to prove that he has the qualifications and ability to be called emperor.
And this requires a person with sufficient status to say it. It’s hard for Ying Zheng to brag about his own achievements, right?
As the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Wan is obviously the most suitable person.
Wang Wan starts from the founding of the Qin Dynasty, telling how the Qin Dynasty went from a small country to where it is today after many generations of hard work and hard work.
Of course, in the narration, Wang Wan beautified it and omitted those unfriendly contents.
When talking about Ying Zheng, Wang Wan even talked more about Ying Zheng’s contribution. The implication of his words was almost obvious that without Ying Zheng, even if there were all the remaining heroes of the previous kings, They can't unify the world, and they can't end hundreds of years of war.
Yingzheng is the key to the unification of the world. Your Majesty deserves no greater credit. We and all the people in the world should be grateful to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is well-deserved and legitimate in calling you the Emperor!
Wang Wan said: "Today the world has been unified, the wars have ceased, and the four seas are at peace, all because of the great king's merits. Looking through the past, no one can compare with the great king."
"The great king has the virtue of the three emperors, the great king His merits are greater than those of the five emperors, so it is no longer appropriate to call him a 'king'."
"I believe that only the 'emperor' can highlight the king's merits and make the world know the king. With such virtue, I ask the king to call you 'emperor', to obey the will of God and to conform to the people's wishes!"
As he said this, Wang Wan knelt down and asked loudly: "Please call the king 'emperor'!"
After Wang Wan, the young master Ying went out on behalf of the Qin clan and respectfully said: "I invite you to call me 'emperor'!"
Liu Ji, who was invited here, represented the people of the world and went out to appeal: "Liu Ji, a villager in Peixian County, invites the king to serve as the plan for the people of the world and call him 'Emperor'!"
He was even "invited" Among the six princes, King Jian of Qi also made a memorial to invite Ying Zheng to proclaim himself emperor.
After these people, everyone knelt down and asked together: "Please call me the 'Emperor'!"
Although I had known that this would happen, but now I saw it with my own eyes, Li I still think the ancients really knew how to play.
Everyone knows that this is just a formality. Even without this, Ying Zheng will still call himself emperor, but having this process can further prove that it is reasonable and legal for him to call emperor, and he is what everyone expects.
Don’t underestimate these processes. Sometimes the absence of these seemingly useless processes will have a huge impact.
For example, if a certain Sima family did not follow the procedures and stabbed the emperor to death in the street, it would not only break the oath, but also make regicide become common later, and make the situation of those ministers with high achievements in the future more dangerous, even if they are young It's very big, and as long as it doesn't die, it will be jealous of the king. Seeing so many people asking him to be the emperor, Ying Zheng pretended to decline, and finally announced himself as the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty amidst everyone's cries of "I choose Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng is the emperor that everyone expects!" .
After Ying Zheng announced himself as the emperor, everyone immediately changed their titles and respectfully said: "Meet your Majesty!"
At this time, the morning sun After rising to a certain height, the sun fell on Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black dragon robe, making him look tall and majestic, unfathomable.
Ying Zhengdao: "No courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zhengdao: "Today is the day when I proclaim myself emperor, and it is also the day when the Qin Dynasty begins a new era. Today I will set up a The national flag of Da Qin, the national anthem of Da Qin, and the national emblem of Da Qin."
"Come, rise. "
This process was naturally proposed by Li Nian. He said that all countries in later generations would have their own national flags, national anthems, and national emblems. After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt that it made sense, so he arranged it for his Da Qin. , and even specially selected a group of musicians to play the national anthem today.
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he saw Meng Yi leading a group of Qin soldiers, marching very neatly, with Meng Yi holding a flag in his hand.
Many people realized at this time that the high pole here was designed for this. It was their first time to participate in the national flag raising, and they couldn't help but feel curious and fresh.
This team of Qin soldiers were selected from the palace. People of similar height, short, fat and thin were selected from the guards guarding the palace. Together with Meng Yi, they went through the flag-raising process in Li Nian.
Not long after, Meng Yi walked to the flagpole, and a Qin soldier tied the Daqin flag in his hands to a rope, and grabbed the rolled-up flag in the upper left corner with one hand.
Although he had practiced it many times before, Meng Yi was still a little nervous at this moment.
This is the first time the national flag has been raised in Da Qin, and it is done in front of His Majesty and so many people, and that guy Li Nian is recording it with his mobile phone. If the flag is not raised well, let that guy Li Nian take a photo and pass it on Later generations...
Tie the flag, and there will be a grand and solemn performance. The sound of music sounded, as if a brilliant poem was unfolding in front of our eyes, grand, powerful, iron-blooded, perseverance, vicissitudes, and majestic, coming from the ancient times and moving towards the future. That is the history of the Qin Dynasty, from small to large, from weak to strong, From a herdsman who raised horses for the Zhou royal family to the current ruler of the world.
With the sound of music, Meng Yi threw up a corner of the flag in his hand, and the rolled-up flag unfolded in the air and fluttered. This made Meng Yi relieved that nothing went wrong.
It is a black flag with two totems on it, one is a black bird and the other is a blue dragon, they are raised together and fly on the flag.
The people of Qin were still black and used the black bird as their totem. But now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed and the world is unified, it is no longer possible to use the black bird as their totem, so they painted a black dragon on the flag to represent the world.
The black bird and the black dragon fly together on the flag regardless of the upper or lower part. This means that Da Qin and the world are not separated. Da Qin is the world, and the world is also the Da Qin.
Listening to the majestic and majestic music, everyone present watched the black flag with black birds and blue dragons rising slowly against the sun, and they all felt an inexplicable feeling that they had never experienced before in their hearts. , there is an indescribable emotion flowing.
Being under the same national flag and singing the same national anthem gave these people an identity in Daqin. Although it has only just sprouted, it can only grow into a giant tree if it has buds.
Perhaps the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed in the future, this flag will fall down, and this national anthem will be swept into the dust of history, but the identity it brings will be passed down to the people of this land.
Even though there will no longer be Da Qin in future generations, and they will no longer be called Qin people, they come from all over the world, at home and abroad, but they are all brothers and sisters of the same family.
