Chapter 1056 1054 [Freshly released, disciple of the Emperor!]
According to normal procedures, Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi will officially resign in October, that is, next month, and return to the UK.
At that time, the new Governor of Hong Kong, Mak Laiho, will officially succeed him as the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, begin to manage Hong Kong, and become a well-deserved "one of the princes" of the British Empire!
However, there was a private rule that the two of them had to carry out the handover in the church "with the help of religious ceremonies" one month in advance. As the acting Governor of Hong Kong, Makley began to perform his duties and gradually took the power of the Governor of Hong Kong into his hands.
This ceremony is held in a church, somewhat similar to a pope's coronation ceremony. Basically, all the most popular figures in Hong Kong are invited. It is not open to the public, let alone news reports.
In other words, after today's ceremony, Dai Lingzhi will completely delegate power, start vacation mode, and return to the UK in a month.
Mai Lihao started acting as a Hong Kong governor and gradually adapted to the life of a Hong Kong governor. If he didn't understand something, he could "ask for advice" from the former Hong Kong governor Dai Lingzhi.
September 11, 1951.
The handover ceremony of the new and old Governors of Hong Kong was held at St. John's Cathedral, Anglican Church, Central.
The Hong Kong government secretary of the Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi and the personal secretary of the future Hong Kong Governor Makleyhose stood side by side with smiles on their faces. They stood outside St. John's Cathedral to greet the bigwigs from all walks of life who were invited to watch the ceremony.
.
These big guys either have prominent positions in the Hong Kong government or are powerful in the business world. Every time they stand up and stamp their feet, the whole of Hong Kong can be shaken!
As spokespersons for the Governor of Hong Kong, the two secretaries had bright smiles. Every time they greeted a distinguished guest, their smiles grew a little brighter and they led each other into the church with an eager attitude.
The police had received the news earlier and came over early in the morning to maintain order. They deployed troops outside the church and strictly guarded the police line to prevent outsiders, especially those from the media, from intruding.
Hong Kong's two most powerful detectives, Han Sen and Lam Gang, were also invited here today, but they were not here to watch the ceremony. They did not have the qualifications and status to do so. Instead, they were invited to divert traffic and maintain law and order.
Han Sen wiped away his stern appearance before, and it was rare for him to smile on his stern face.
Lan Gang has even changed from his usual carefree appearance. He changed his checkered shirt into a black suit with a black body, and his hair is even more meticulously taken care of.
At this time, the two of them were on the road in the distance, responsible for guiding the drivers or attendants of the visitors, and parked their cars far away to avoid blocking traffic.
As for those media reporters who came to grab news and make headlines, they were collectively sent aside for "censorship", checking ID cards, checking whether they were carrying weapons, etc., which made those reporters have one head and two heads!
In addition, behind these police officers, there are dozens of "G4" agents wearing black suits and sunglasses, carrying walkie-talkies, and looking like falcons!
"The eagle calls to the sparrow! The eagle calls to the sparrow! Another big boss has arrived! Look clearly, it's Sir Bailiqu, the director. Everyone is on alert and must protect Sir Bailiqu's safety!"
"Sparrow received it! Sparrow received it! We have placed plainclothesmen around to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
As a former elite G4 agent, Li Wenbin was recommended by Shi Zhijian to be the person in charge of security work, and was fully responsible for the handover of this ceremony.
For Li Wenbin, it can be said that it is a heavy responsibility. Of course, if he does it well, it will be an amazing achievement.
To be honest, Li Wenbin never expected that such a good thing would happen to him.
According to past tradition, those responsible for the security of such large events would be assigned to ghost guys to take control, and the Chinese could only help. Then, if something went wrong, the Chinese would take the blame, and the ghost guys would stand up and receive the reward if something went wrong.
But this time, for the first time, the Hong Kong government assigned him, a Chinese, to take charge of such an important task, which was something that would have been unthinkable before.
Of course Li Wenbin knew that he was able to stand out this time thanks to Legislative Council member Shi Zhijian who appreciated him.
If Shi Zhijian had not recommended him in front of the two Hong Kong governors, he would not have had such a chance of promotion.
For Shi Zhijian, Li Wenbin is absolutely grateful in his heart!
Sir Bailiqu got off the special car, and the bodyguards immediately rushed forward to escort him into the church.
All the big shots in the church came out to welcome him when they saw him. After all, Bailiqu's status was important to him, and everyone had to give him face.
"Hello Sir Sir!"
"Sir Sir, thank you for your hard work!"
Bailiqu shook hands with these big guys one by one and talked, "Is the Governor of Hong Kong in Biandu?"
"They're over there!"
"Okay, I'll go over and say hello."
Inside the church, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, the Secretary for Home Affairs, the Urban Development Department, the Planning Department, the Commissioner of Police, the Chief Superintendent and others were present.
Among these police officers, in addition to Chinese Superintendent Lei Luo, there are also Chinese Superintendent Chen Zhichao, and Chief Superintendent Ge Bai, who has been sold by Shi Zhijian.
Seeing Sir Bailiqu approaching with a civilized staff, everyone gave way to the passage.
Bailiqu walked straight forward and greeted Dai Lingzhi and Mai Lihao elegantly.
Everyone here is still chatting. Outside the church, Li Wenbin received news that legislator Shi Zhijian is here!
The appearance of Shi Zhijian made the surrounding audience excited.
Although star chasing has not become popular in this era, Shi Zhijian's popularity has skyrocketed throughout Hong Kong. Coupled with Shi Zhijian's image of a super handsome boy in white, countless boys, girls, aunts and grandmothers are crazy about him.
"Shi Zhijian!"
"It's Shi Zhijian!"
The surrounding audience shouted and shouted.
Such an intense scene made other distinguished guests look sideways. When they saw that it was Shi Zhijian who had arrived, everyone felt mixed feelings. They were also here to attend the ceremony. They were treated like a big star, but their place was deserted.
What's more, some ghost guys couldn't help but complain about Shi Zhijian: "Tsk! Isn't it just good-looking? What's so great about it! We are noble British people!"
At this time, one of his companions attacked him and said: "It seems that Shi Zhijian is about to go to England to be awarded a knighthood - he is a baron!"
The scold guy immediately shut up. Even though he is British, he is nothing like that!
As Shi Zhijian's good brother, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Shi Zhijian's arrival. From the beginning, he felt that there were too many ghosts and their eyes were on their foreheads, which made him unable to move! It felt like being in such an environment.
It's very depressing! It's rare that Shi Zhijian appears to break this depression and let the Chinese like them breathe a sigh of relief!
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Shi Zhijian walked towards the church dressed in white.
Bailiqu was talking to two Hong Kong governors when he heard a pot exploding outside. He thought something big had happened, but when he turned around he realized that it was Shi Zhijian who was here.
Regarding Shi Zhijian's damn popularity, Bailiqu was filled with displeasure, but there was nothing he could do about it!
…
At this time, the handover ceremony of the Governor of Hong Kong was about to begin, the church door creaked shut, and all the guests invited to watch the ceremony had arrived.
Unlike other events in Hong Kong where hundreds or thousands of people attend, this time only the top 300 people in Hong Kong were invited to the handover ceremony of the Governor of Hong Kong!
Among these three hundred people, two-thirds are government officials, and the remaining one-third are tycoons who are very famous in Hong Kong's political and business circles. Among them, the proportion of Chinese is the smallest, and most of them are from the Kadoorie family.
, the Keswick family, and members of the Schweizer family!
Among the Chinese, those who were lucky enough to be invited to watch the ceremony, in addition to the Ho family and the Ma family in Macau who have good relations with the British Hong Kong government, are the Bao family, the Zheng family, and the Li family in Hong Kong.
Wait, like the Huo family and the Li family, they were not invited.
The Huo family is at odds with the British Hong Kong government, so it is not surprising to be invited. However, the Lee family is looked down upon by the ghosts because of its declining prestige in recent years.
It can be said that there were about 300 people present, and more than 200 of them were blond and blue-eyed ghost guys. Originally, these ghost guys were supposed to play the leading role today, but unexpectedly, they were overtaken by a Chinese congressman Shi Zhijian before the show started! Don't mention it in the hearts of many ghost guys.
What does it taste like.
Shi Zhijian entered the church and greeted everyone, just as the ceremony officially began, so he stood aside and watched the ceremony with interest.
Shi Zhijian originally wanted to keep a low profile, so he stood in a relatively remote place on the side of the church, but unknowingly, many Chinese people had gathered behind him - Bao family, Zheng family, Li family, Ma family, He family and others.
Standing in a row with him in his arms, he formed a confrontation with Bailiqu, Henry, Allen and other ghosts.
Most British people believe in Christianity, and both Dai Lingzhi and Mai Lihao are converts to Christianity. At the beginning of the ceremony, the two held candles, and under the auspices of the church godfather, the two performed a handover ceremony.
Everyone watched quietly. Except for the godfather's gibbering, there was no sound around him.
The outgoing Governor of Hong Kong, Dai Lingzhi, had a very calm expression on his face. He no longer looked as majestic as before, nor did he have the trace of reluctance and anxiety before his resignation. At this moment, he seemed to have truly become a devout believer, and his whole body was filled with happiness and joy.
serene.
In contrast, Mai Lihao, who was about to ascend to the throne, could not hide his inner joy, and his eyes and hair showed a trace of the high-spiritedness of a superior.
The ceremony lasted only five or six minutes and was over!
But to everyone around me, it felt like a century had passed.
It can be said that at the moment when the old and new governors of Hong Kong were handed over, drastic changes occurred in the hearts of countless people at the scene.
An era has passed and a new era is coming!
For those British Hong Kong officials, if they want to assist a new king again, they need to re-plan their outlook on life and values - no matter what their outlook is, they must be in line with the Governor of Hong Kong!
As a senior official of the British Hong Kong government, Sir Bailiqu's heart is even more complicated at this moment.
During the period of wearing Lingzhi, he did a lot of things that were beneficial to the people, but he also became enemies with Mak Lihao because of his campaign for Hong Kong governor.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Mak Leho has become the next Governor of Hong Kong. He is no longer qualified to aspire to this throne. It is understandable that he feels disappointed.
The only thing that comforted Bailiqu was that Mai Lihao was a smart man. He was not favored by everyone because of his withdrawn personality, so many people had offended Mai Lihao.
However, Mai Lihao used the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption to invite his biggest enemy Baili Qu to be the person in charge. This move indirectly told everyone, especially those who were anxious about Mai Lihao's rise to power, that I, Mai Lihao, am a meritorious person.
This is a move, and I will never publicly avenge my private revenge!
This gave everyone a reassurance and led to today's stable and transitional situation.
"Perhaps I underestimated him from the beginning! With such scheming and broad-mindedness, this Mai Lihao should not be underestimated!" Bailiqu couldn't help but sigh while holding the civilized staff and looking at the completed handover ceremony in front of him.
Makley took over the scepter representing the status of the Governor of Hong Kong, turned around and said a few words to everyone, which roughly meant that he would manage Hong Kong well according to God's will, and how he would work hard for the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
After the speech, the audience burst into applause.
Shi Zhijian stood on one side and also applauded.
Lei Luo, who was following Shi Zhijian, couldn't help but be curious when he saw these ghost guys playing so many fancy things.
Immediately afterwards, Mak Lihao raised his scepter and said: "According to our traditional rules, as the incoming Governor of Hong Kong, I have the right and responsibility to call an outstanding person, especially someone who has not yet joined Christianity, to become our believer."
…”
Lei Luo reached out and pulled Shi Zhijian's shirt: "Ajian, what's going on? What is this ghost guy Mai Lihao talking about?"
"He wants to make disciples."
"Uh, is this okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. They Gui Lao have a tradition of guiding people to become religious, which can give them bonuses to their own merits. Of course, now that he is the governor of Hong Kong, whoever he chooses will be his emperor's disciple in the future!"
"Wow, it's so sharp! I didn't know that any of these ghost guys were so lucky!" Lei Luo looked at the ghost guys across from him who looked expectantly and their expressions became nervous.
In fact, it's no wonder these people are nervous.
Mak Lihao is now the governor of Hong Kong. If you become his disciple, you will be protected by him, and you can walk sideways in Hong Kong from now on!
In addition, many of these ghosts have actually converted to Christianity, but this does not affect their conversion one more time in order to become "disciples of the emperor"!
"Is it that old guy from Bailiqu? His hair is already white. If he becomes Mai Lihao's apprentice, he will die." Lei Luo teased from the side, "There are also those ghost guys Henry and Allen.
, the two of them were at odds with Mai Lihao before, but looking at their eyes now, I wish I could kneel down and call them daddy!"
Shi Zhijian was non-committal. For many people, being a "disciple of the emperor" is a great honor and even great luck!
In particular, Shi Zhijian clearly knew that Mak Laiho, who served as the 25th Governor of Hong Kong from 1971 to 1982, served for 10 and a half years and was renewed four times. He was the longest-serving Governor in Hong Kong history.
.
"Now I declare that the person I have chosen is -" Mai Lihao raised his scepter and glanced around with stern eyes.
All the ghosts in the church became nervous.
The Chinese were waiting to watch the show.
"Shi Zhijian!"
With a bang, the scene exploded!
Those ghost guys were all stunned! How is it possible? He actually chose a Chinese?
The Chinese people at the scene were even more shocked! What happened? Our people were selected?!
Lei Luo, who was standing behind Shi Zhijian, almost had his eyes popping out of his head, and he plucked his ears hard, "Did I hear that right? A Jian, you are chosen!"
