    After the grandfather and grandson returned home, they struggled for another day.

    The day before the crowning ceremony, guest accommodation must be held.  Huang Mingyuan once again went to the home of the guest and the praiser to greet each other.  This mainly reflects the rigorous attitude of the ancients. After all, the crown ceremony is your own business, so you pay special attention to it.  According to Zhou rites, the ancestors and grandsons should go together here, but now it has gradually been simplified.

    Huang Mingyuan sent Huang Yinzhi's letter, which read, "In the future, Yinzhi will crown Sun Yuan, if someone is to kiss the head of a certain grandson. My son will come here and dare to stay. Mr. Su will be honored by Yinzhi."

    Su Wei replied: "We dare not rise early. We are more powerful than Huang Gong."

    Of course, you still have to invite admirers, important guests, and officials before the crowning ceremony, but these people do not need Huang Yinzhi to come to the door in person.  As the heir, Huang Mingyuan went from house to house and invited all the important people.

    Yang Su, Yang Hong, Zhao Chuo, and Niu Hong had a smoother process. The old guy Cui Zhongfang was holding his own, but it was not difficult to handle.  But when the teacher Zhang Heng came here, Zhang Heng scolded Huang Mingyuan again, almost beating Huang Mingyuan with a big stick.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't refute, Zhang Heng was just like his father, he would accept with a small stick and walk with a big stick.  As for the spitting star sprayed on his face, Huang Mingyuan could only spit it out.

    In fact, Huang Mingyuan has always believed that the core of etiquette lies in tediousness, otherwise how could it be so frustrating.  Huang Mingyuan always wondered about the first person to create these ancient rituals, and wanted to ask him what kind of imagination he had to come up with such a complicated process that no one could understand.

    In the afternoon of the first day, large-scale decoration will begin, with washrooms and towels in the hall, just like the decoration of an ancestral hall.  The room is surrounded by curtains (similar to mosquito nets) in the northeast of the hall.

    Crowning is not just about tying your hair and wearing a hat. Generally, the owner has official uniforms, belts, boots, and wats, which are all displayed on a table in the middle and eastern part of the east room, with the north as the top.  Huang Mingyuan is different from ordinary people. He is a second-grade Zhuguo. He is a first-grade county prince and enjoys the treatment of a first-grade official. The things used to crown him are also different from others.

    During the Sui and Tang dynasties, officials of the first to fifth grades were initially crowned with cloth crowns; then the Xian crowns were added; those of the third grade and above could be crowned with three beams of green tassel; for the third grade, the first grade officials were crowned with gong crowns.  These are all different, and ordinary people cannot go beyond them. Otherwise, they may be dismissed from their posts, or they may be beheaded.

    The wine bottles and plates are also placed on the table to the north of the crown suit.  The Zhenbu crown, the Jinxian crown, the Gun crown and the scarf are each placed on a plate, covered with a handkerchief, and placed on a table at the foot of the west steps.  A deacon stands by the side. If the crowned one is the eldest son, the banquet will be placed slightly north of the east on the steps of the gate, facing west; for the other sons, the table will be on the west side of the steps, facing south.

    As the eldest grandson, Huang Mingyuan, the future head of the family, will also follow the etiquette of the eldest son and go west.

    Waiting until early the next morning, the Huang Mansion began to move.  Although Huang Mingyuan has repeatedly stated that he should keep a low profile and not attract too much attention, but with Huang Mingyuan's status, no one dares to look down upon him.

    Especially since King Yang Zhao of Wei came to the house early to wait, people who were originally prepared to take action dropped their pretense and came over, even if they were not invited.  Then Yang Su, Yang Hong, Niu Hong, Zhao Chuo, Cui Zhongfang and others arrived one after another. Everyone watching the ceremony took a breath. They thought that the Huang family was just a nouveau riche in Shandong, but they didn't expect so many big shots to come.

    There are also those who have serious thoughts. It seems that King Jin is really good to Huang Mingyuan and can even invite these people.  Some people who want to follow the path of King Jin are already preparing to start from Huang Mingyuan.

    Of course, the atmosphere before the coronation reached its climax until Gao Jiong arrived. This old man who had been in charge of the empire for twenty years shocked everyone.

    Those who wanted to go up to say hello hesitated for fear of getting into trouble.  Gao Jiong has been through so many storms, how could he take it for granted.  Go straight forward and congratulate Huang Yinzhi.

    Huang Yin was also surprised when he first met Gao Jiong, but he immediately understood that the matter was related to his grandson.  He smiled hurriedly and invited Gao Jiong to sit down, not looking down on him as a commoner.

    Yang Su didn¡¯t care about getting into trouble and came forward to greet Gao Jiao with a smile.  The two old friends still seemed as harmonious as before, without any of the embarrassment caused by the overt and covert fights in the past two years.

    Both of them understand it, but they each have their own masters and eventually turn against each other.  We are all civilized people. Although we win and lose, we no longer have a goal to confront, and we can forget our grudges with a smile.

    Others were not so calm. Zhang Heng kept staring at Huang Mingyuan. Huang Mingyuan felt guilty and did not look at the teacher's angry face.

    As for the others, Huang Mingyuan asked Yang Zhao to be his shield.

    Soon the crowning ceremony officially began.

    As the head of the family, Huang Yinzhi wears a royal crown, white clothes, a black belt, and white knee coverings. He stands at the foot of the steps, slightly east, facing west.  His children, relatives, and servants are behind him.?Line them in rows, facing west, with north as top.  The general rule is to choose one person from among the descendants, relatives, and ritual practitioners to be the best man and stand outside the gate, facing west.

    At this time, it was his brother-in-law Zhang Fangyi who was standing outside the gate, facing west.

    Well, settling scores with brother-in-law Zhang Fangyi is one thing, but you still have to give him face in front of outsiders.  Today, I am the best man, and tomorrow everyone inside and outside the court will know that this general is more useful than any military exploits he has accomplished.

    ?? Huang Mingyuan first wore two clothes, four shirts, silk and shoes. He was in the east room, facing south.  Everyone stood in position, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan was full of excitement, even more nervous than being a groom.  The main reason is that he has seen many marriages, but he has never seen anyone crowned.

    The praiser Zhang Heng also took his place, and Su Wei, the guest of honor, both wore Xuanduan clothes and went outside the gate, facing east.  Zhang Heng stood on the right side of Su Wei, slightly back.

    Huang Mingyuan was crowned, and Zhang Heng was also honored. After all, he and Huang Mingyuan were as close as father and son.

    Of course, Huang Mingyuan cannot be forgiven for his mistakes, and he will still be beaten after winning the title.

    First, Zhang Fangyi came in and informed the master.  Huang Yinzhi went out, faced west, and bowed to Su Wei again.  Su Wei bowed in return.

    " Then Huang Yinzhi bowed to Zhang Heng again, and Zhang Heng returned the salute.

    ?? Then Huang Yin bowed to the door, followed by Su Wei and Zhang Heng, bowed to the bottom of the steps, bowed again, and climbed the steps.

    Huang Yinzhi climbed the stairs first and stood on the east side of the stairs, facing west.  Suwei ascended the steps from the west and stood on the west steps on the west side (the west is noble), facing east.  Zhang Heng first washed and wiped his hands, climbed the steps from the west, stood in the room, facing west.  Zhang Fangyi arranged the banquet in the east preface, slightly north and facing west.

    After all the procedures were completed, Huang Mingyuan left the room and faced south.

    Then the crowning begins.

    Everyone was serious and no one was talking to each other.  Huang Mingyuan was very surprised. This was something that even the emperor could not do when he went to court, otherwise there would be no imperial censor in the palace.

    Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, crowning is a kind of inheritance, the inheritance of Tao.

    Huang Mingyuan is not from this era and has never felt the significance of being crowned before.  Now looking at all the people sitting upright, looking at their serious, solemn, and respectful faces, he felt the existence of this Tao.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
