In the morning, Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu watched the wedding rehearsal with great interest. The stage was set outside the castle gate and the venue was large enough.
At least 100,000 people came to watch the wedding. Xiaolong planned different areas. In addition to the guest area with fixed seats, the rest of the area extended down the mountain road.
There is also a flowing passage so that people at the bottom of the mountain can circulate in an orderly manner and have the opportunity to see the bride and groom up close.
Thoughtful and quite reasonable.
The wedding master of ceremonies was an elder invited from Chang'an. He had presided over the wedding of Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu. The set of rituals and rhetoric left a deep impression on people, so just follow it again.
Only in Mopan City, singing and dancing programs have been added to let everyone have a happy and beautiful day.
In the afternoon, the delegation from Little China arrived. Brothers Zhang Yi came down the mountain to greet them. The visitors included Vice President He Qianqian, the second-largest figure in Little China, Marshal Yang Ting and Governor Lu, as well as dozens of civil and military officials.
Marshal Yang Ting and Governor Lu were very familiar with each other, laughed and hugged each other, exchanged greetings, and then solemnly introduced Vice President He to Zhang Yi.
It seems that Vice President He is a shrewd middle-aged man with a medium and thin build, a straight and three-dimensional nose, and a clear-cut face. His hair is neatly combed to one side, he wears elegant Western clothes, and he speaks in an extraordinary manner.
Overall, he gives people a feeling of being shrewd, capable and charming.
"Welcome Vice President He!" Zhang Yi shook hands with him warmly.
"Thank you, I'm very happy to meet you, Zhang Shoufu!" Vice President He smiled, showing his neat white teeth.
There was actually a faint smell of perfume on his body. Of course, Governor Lu also had it on his body. It was men's perfume. For Zhang Yi, who was used to galloping around on the battlefield, it was difficult for him to accept the idea of a man wearing perfume.
But it's not a big deal.
Zhang Yi can feel that Vice President He, Marshal Yang Ting and Governor Lu all have the same trait, that is, the shrewdness of southerners.
It cannot be said that this kind of shrewdness is not good. Sometimes, superficial calculation is much better than some people pretending to be generous and generous.
"Zhang Shoufu is young, handsome and dashing. At first glance, he looks like a wise and decisive man, with quite the demeanor of a king!" Vice President He praised.
He is similar to Premier Chiang in this respect. The more mature a person is, the better he speaks, while an immature person will only say some harsh and mean words with airs on his face, such as Vice Premier Sun.
The brothers all laughed. At first glance, Vice President He seemed to be a fastidious person with elegant manners, like a civilized man who had read poetry and books.
"Thank you, haha. It's such an honor for Vice President He to come to our wedding!" Zhang Yi said warmly, "On behalf of all the people of Mopan City, I welcome Vice President He, Marshal Yang, Governor Lu and all your friends.
!”
Polite words are always inevitable, and they must be said in a flawless manner.
Both parties laughed and walked towards the mountain together.
Vice President He and others looked around curiously along the way. The bustling scene of Mopan City would surprise anyone who came here.
Various shops, smiling people, and flowers blooming everywhere fully demonstrate that this is a wealthy garden city.
"The people living here are very happy." Vice President He praised.
"This is my second time here," Governor Lu sighed. "Every time there are new changes, it can be said that things are changing with each passing day. Zhang Shoufu is young and promising, and he really manages the affairs well."
"Zhang Shoufu is an enlightened person. He implements the electoral system, develops industry and commerce, and follows a civilized path," Vice President He said. It was obvious that he had an in-depth understanding of the situation. "It's just that when you arrived in Chang'an, you inherited the kingdom of King Liu Kai."
In the future, will there be conflicts and contradictions between your civilized measures and the retro system?"
This is a good question, Zhang Yi laughed and said.
"There will be no conflicts or contradictions, Vice President He. People wearing ancient clothes and advocating ancient etiquette are not contrary to civilization," Zhang Yi elaborated. "While inheriting the essence of Chinese culture, we are vigorously developing industry and commerce. Both
They can be blended together.”
Vice President He and others couldn't help but nod.
Zhang Yi used living reality to teach them a lesson.
To be honest, the previous model is indeed a bit outdated. Old China took the path of retroism, Little China took the path of capitalism, and Greater China took the path of communism. It has not been thought that the three can be integrated.
But in Mopan City, there is a trend of integration. All property is publicly owned, society is based on elections, and at the same time, flourishing industry and commerce develop.
What an achievement!
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door. Big figures like Vice President He are keen on watching the door. The more he looks at it, the more he feels that Zhang Yi has something up his sleeve.
"So, is it possible for old China to follow the path of constitutional monarchy in the future?" Vice President He asked.
He thought Zhang Yi had never heard of constitutional monarchy, and was about to explain it, but Zhang Yi smiled heartily and answered directly.
"The system you are talking about is a combination of monarchy and democracy. It retains the honorary status of the monarch as a symbol of the country, but the actual power is transferred to the hands of the people. This system may be considered as a transition.
But I think the greatest possibility is to hand power directly into the hands of the people without reservation."
Vice President He was extremely surprised. He never expected that Zhang Yi, the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of China, knew all kinds of systems very well, and his level of enlightenment was incredible.
Everyone was amazed.
Such words are not credible when spoken by some people, but when spoken by the great hero Zhang Yi, they are unquestionable!
The brothers are all proud of Yi Ge. They don’t understand these systems, but Yi Ge understands it, and everyone will understand as soon as he explains it. Yi Ge ultimately wants to return to Mopan City to plant flowers and grass, but he gives himself
A premise is established, which is to bring justice to the injustices in the world.
I just don’t know how long it will take to realize this dream.
…
"Shuai Zhu has also come to Mopan City? Very good, very good." Marshal Yang Ting learned that the people from Greater China arrived yesterday and couldn't help but nodded and smiled.
The two marshals came to Mopan City in person. They didn't want to miss such a grand event. They didn't attend the Chang'an wedding. They wanted to attend anyway this time. To be honest, they deeply admired Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu and they had to come.
In addition, this tripartite meeting is extremely important. Zhang Yi invited the two generals to come and said that they would explore the possibility of jointly dealing with foreign enemies. If there can be military cooperation, the relationship between the three countries will virtually get closer.
"How about I invite you all to drink together tonight?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
"This is not appropriate. You are holding a wedding tomorrow. How can we disturb you?" Vice President He said with a smile, "I heard that Mopan City is a place of freedom, gathering delicacies from the east, west, north and south. We will handle it ourselves in the evening and wait for you.
After the wedding ceremony, let’s have a drink together!”
