October 8th is the Chinese traditional Mid-Autumn Festival.
This day is also the day when Qin Zhiyuan ascends the throne.
According to the almanac, this day is a standard auspicious day, so the Lanfang government chose this day as the day when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne.
Before that, Lan Fang found a learned scholar from the Republic of China who was said to be proficient in etiquette, and a detailed timetable had been laid out for the ceremony.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan is indispensable. Anyway, he just acts as a backdrop and does whatever he is asked to do.
As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, five or six female officials began to work around Qin Zhiyuan.
It took more than an hour to put on a set of clothing that was said to be military uniforms. After finally putting it on, Qin Zhiyuan didn't even have time to take a bite of breakfast before he was taken to the Jinluan Palace to receive the worship of hundreds of officials.
The so-called Jinluan Hall is the living room in the palace. The area is large enough, but there are not many civil and military ministers who are qualified to come in to worship. There are only more than twenty people in front and back, but a set of rituals is enough to make a small fuss.
Two hours.
The civil servants headed by Huang Bohan were all dressed in red, that is, purple clothes, with various patches embroidered on their chests. It is said that the various patterns correspond to different levels.
The military attachés headed by Qin Zhisheng were relatively better. They did not have helmets or armors, but they still wore their usual festive attire, looking solemn, dignified and solemn.
These people also want to kneel down three times and knock on the mountain to shout long live. They also cry bitterly like Chen Kangjian. They are really unworthy of human beings.
Qin Zhiyuan has no right to speak at this time, he can only do whatever others say and do whatever others ask him to do, just like a puppet.
After the ministers have paid their respects, they will be visited by envoys from various countries.
The etiquette at this time is more acceptable, that is, bowing in greeting, and only a few people will choose to kneel on one knee to show respect.
Without exception, those who choose to kneel on one knee are imperial countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, or Siam
For the whole day, Qin Zhiyuan's task was to act as a backdrop. He had almost no chance to speak or even make moves. Only when the Sultan of Brunei congratulated him, Qin Zhiyuan took a break to go to the toilet.
Even in the toilet behind the screen, Qin Zhiyuan could still hear the sonorous congratulations of the Sultan of Brunei, which made Qin Zhiyuan feel an unexpected sense of absurdity.
I don’t know how the Sultan of Brunei felt when he read the congratulatory form, but if it were Qin Zhiyuan, if the host was so rude when he read the congratulatory form, Qin Zhiyuan would have walked away without caring who he was.
With Qin Zhiyuan's ascension to the throne, this also marked the formalization of everything in Lanfang. Within one day, almost all countries sent their blessings to Qin Zhiyuan's ascension to the throne and established ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with Lanfang.
The number of countries increased to 21.
When the representatives from various countries finished reading the congratulatory form, it was not over yet. Qin Zhiyuan had to go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven to show the meaning of the divine power of kings. Then he had to go to the Temple of Earth to offer sacrifices to earth in order to pray for good weather from now on.
Whether it is a sacrifice to the heaven or the earth, Qin Zhiyuan needs to be present in person, and he has to recite an eight-legged essay that is as long and smelly as an old woman's foot-binding cloth. This makes Qin Zhiyuan extremely bored.
However, the procedures that should be followed must be followed, and they must be meticulous, otherwise the cabinet members headed by Huang Bohan will adopt the posture of recommending Xuanyuan with my blood, and will die in front of Qin Zhiyuan's imperial chariot to set the record straight.
Qin Zhiyuan saw the perseverance and perseverance of the scholar-bureaucrats. They were definitely more active than Qin Zhiyuan in maintaining the authority of the imperial system.
After returning from the Temple of Earth, it was time to light the lamp.
At this time, Coconut City was already ablaze with flowers and trees, and countless people gathered in front of the palace, hoping that Qin Zhiyuan would enjoy the time with the people.
Naturally, Qin Zhiyuan would not refuse, so he put on his casual clothes and walked out of the palace to mingle with the people of Coconut City and have a good time.
Have you seen, this is my life? Qin Zhiyuan was still mumbling when he walked out of the palace.
Your Majesty, this is your honor, and it is also your obligation. William III was gloating beside him.
Among the dignitaries who came to attend Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony, only William III was the king, and those of the Sultanate of Brunei's rank were not included.
Although Germany is a defeated country, and although Germans are currently unpopular in Western civilized society, William III still has enough reasons to stay with Qin Zhiyuan.
not qualified
Don’t be ridiculous, William III and King George V of England are cousins, and George V is William III’s cousin. Even Lloyd George did not dare to speak out on this matter.
Well, common people, not even the Prime Minister, have the right to interfere with royal affairs.
The monarchs at this time still had considerable power, such as George V and William III. This was guaranteed by their strong strength. They had the right to vote for all matters in the country, and they also had
The power of one vote is unimaginable.
Because of this, even though Qin Zhiyuan had just ascended the throne, he was respected enough by representatives from various countries.
Was it the same when you ascended the throne? Qin Zhiyuan had nothing to say.
Of course not. When I ascended the throne, the Royal Guards were defending the palace. All the police were dispatched to prevent some uncontrollable unexpected factors. Even the military sent soldiers to take charge of security, so you must be careful. William III is not pregnant.
kindness.
In the view of William III, the guards of Lanfang Palace were almost non-existent. William III was very confident. Even if the guards were not alerted, William III was confident enough to lead Qin Zhiyuan to disappear without a trace from the eyes of the guards.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't like this game.
Hahahahaha, Lanfang's punishment for illegal acts is a level higher than that of the United States and the United Kingdom, so please don't put German laws on my head. I am French, and I am also a Lanfang person, no matter it is
Neither German law, nor French law, nor Lanfang's law can control me. Qin Zhiyuan wants to fool me.
Okay, okay, here, you are the king. William III recognized Qin Zhiyuan's authority.
At this time, countless people were singing and dancing in front of the palace. There were traditional Chinese lion dances and dragon dances to add to the fun, and there were various gongs and drums. The Chinese were really good at creating an atmosphere.
The Chinese are different from the Germans. You have only been unified for a hundred years, while the Chinese have been under similar rule for thousands of years. There is no comparison between the two. Qin Zhiyuan did not forget to fight back.
"It will be fine in the future." William III groaned fiercely.
I am waiting to see. There is a question. I want to first state that regarding the alliance between Lanfang and Germany, it is not that I disagree, but it still takes time. After all, Lanfang and France are now in an alliance. Although France and Germany have terminated their military force
Confrontation, but the national border is not stable. Germany needs an opportunity, an opportunity that can convince the French. Qin Zhiyuan muttered as he walked.
It doesn't matter, I am very satisfied with the establishment of ambassadorial-level relations now. By the way, are you satisfied with the choice of Ribbentrop? Wilhelm III did not forget to talk about serious things.
Of course, as long as he abides by traffic laws, no one will bother them. Qin Zhiyuan pushed it very simply.
Ribbentrop, before the start of the world war, was the German ambassador to the United States.
After Germany was forced to use unrestricted submarine warfare tactics in the World War, Ribbentrop withdrew from the United States to the British mainland and served as Germany's Foreign Minister.
According to William III, William III intends to send Ribbentrop to Lanfang to serve as ambassador. This is good news.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't know much about Ribbentrop's age, but he knew that he was a man who had the overall situation in mind.
Since the overall situation is taken into consideration, it will be easier to deal with.
