The sea breeze was howling, the sky was full of white clouds, and the whole of Naha Castle had come to a complete standstill today, all industries were suspended, workers from factories and workshops took to the streets, sailors from the docks rushed up the mountain roads, and even women and children who did not go out much on weekdays joined the procession. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today, the sea breeze in Naha was six or seven magnitudes, and the cold sea breeze blew from the Pacific Ocean, and the flags were blowing in the sea breeze, and the people were so disheveled that they couldn't even open their eyes.

The white clouds in the sky are changing rapidly in people's eyes, and in a trance, it seems that time has accelerated, and the vicissitudes of life are just a moment in front of them.

In Naha Castle, the parliamentary premises built by the Chinese are in the final stages of renovation, and it stands to reason that it is indeed disrespectful to hold such an important ceremony in such an unfinished clubhouse.

But there was no time, the Zhiyuan had already completed maintenance, and now the British Navy, which had received the news of the victory of the Chinese in the Far East, suddenly changed its cold face the day before, and all the Prussian cargo ships that had been seized at the dock were all released, and the Ryukyus finally waited for the very continuous munitions parts.

The Zhiyuan entered the dry dock to scrape the bottom of the ship, paint it, replace the damaged parts, and even inspected every rivet on the keel, turned off the boiler for cleaning and repair, and then protected the top anthracite produced in Luan.

Ammunition depots have been restocked, and even casual troop carriers and supply ships have been prepared.

The trip to Europe is about to leave, and Xiao Letian has no time to delay, even if the parliament building is not completed, the dedication ceremony must be started.

"Here we are...... Your Majesty is coming!" the crowd exclaimed, followed by a piece of wheat cutting and bowing down, and the streets were full of kneeling Ryukyu people, at this moment everyone regardless of race was a part of the Chinese ethnic group, even those Fuso immigrants knelt on both sides of the road, waiting for His Majesty's imperial chariot to pass by.

The so-called imperial chariot is a golden sedan chair without a top, and the king of Shangtai in a dragon robe is sitting in a precarious position, holding the national treasure of the Ryukyus in his arms, the household registration map, the golden seal holy decree canonized by Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and the six seals.

King Shangtai, who had a serious face, sat cross-legged on the royal chariot like a statue, eight strong men walked steadily, the mountain road was like flat ground, and the surrounding people shouted long live and bowed collectively, and countless people even shed tears.

"Your Majesty......! Do you want to make the Ryukyus completely extinct?" Your Majesty ...... "There were old and nostalgic elders in the crowd who rushed out of the military and police cordons and knelt directly in front of the imperial chariot.

King Shang Tai looked at the white-haired old man and said quietly, "......Wrong! Ryukyu will not die, and if you want Ryukyu to stand for another 500 years, there is only one option today......"

"If I take this step back, I can exchange the national honor of Ryukyu for 500 years...... It's worth it!"

The Imperial Rim passed in front of the weeping old man, and on the mountain road in front of him was the most magnificent building in Naha, the Great Council of the Chinese Clan, also known as the Lower Council, which was about to be completed.

There are as many as 18 buildings on top of each other, and it is a place for the office meeting of the Lower Council, a closed meeting hall that can accommodate 20,000 people, and can be converted into a song and dance theater at any time to provide entertainment for the citizens in addition to daily meetings.

The military council, the merchant council, the scientific council, and the citizens' council were also located in this complex, and only the noble council was special, and a district was separated from Shuri Castle, and a palace was expanded outside the castle, so it became the seat of the noble council.

Although the aristocratic parliament is the main body that formulates national policy, the Chinese practice the concept of meritocracy, and the aristocratic parliament has the power to propose legislation, has the power to make financial appropriations, and has the power to appoint and dismiss officials and nobles.

Because the noble council is directly subordinate to the prime minister, and the prime minister also relies on the noble council to participate in politics, coupled with the legal code system of six lords and eighteen others, it has always been commonly known as the upper council.

However, the largest group of councils, such as the citizens' assembly, the upper council, and the citizens' council, is commonly known as the lower council.

Although there is a difference between the upper and lower names, in legal principle, the lower parliament represents the Chinese people, and his political status is higher than that of the upper parliament, so the first stop of King Shangtai must be here.

In front of it is the largest council hall of the Lower Parliament, with a bit of European ancient Greek style columns and arcades carved with three-dimensional patterns, each stone pillar is as high as a three-story building, and the porch is full of various statues, and some of the windows have begun to be painted with gold......

In order to welcome the arrival of King Sangtae, a scaffolding at the main entrance of the council hall was temporarily removed, and the rest of the area was still covered by brown rope nets, making it difficult to see the clues inside.

But just from the corner of the main entrance, one can already marvel at the grandeur of the building.

At this moment, the major councils have not yet elected a formal speaker, and all the responsible persons are temporarily appointed by Xiao Letian, such as the temporary speaker of the Chinese Grand Council is concurrently served by Xiao Letian himself, and the temporary head of the Chamber of Commerce is of course the old shopkeeper Fan Yao.

The temporary speaker of the Science Society is the first doctor in the Chinese family, Huang Xianyi, and the temporary speaker of the Military Council is Xiao Hexin, of course, he did not come today, so Sima Yun will replace him.

The Municipal Assembly was concurrently served by Cai Mao, a former Ryukyu minister. The noble council was chaired by Kim Changsen, a former subordinate of King Sangtae.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the main entrance of the auditorium!

With the roar of the soldier who reported the news, the old shopkeeper, Sima Yun and others stepped forward quickly, walked to the edge of the square, and looked down along the steps.

"Your Majesty wants to go down to the Imperial Palace? No, there was no such link in the previous rehearsal, it should be that the Imperial Wheel went directly to the palace!" Everyone was stunned.

Under more than a hundred steps, King Shangtai really stepped on the pedal and ordered the soldiers to let him down, but the attendants around him were puzzled and wanted to ask, but were directly stopped by King Shangtai.

"I'll walk up more than 100 steps myself!"

The chamberlain on the side has been serving King Shangtai all his life, and when he heard this, tears flowed: "Your Majesty can't do it! You have given up the power of a country, how can you still go up...... The royal chariot goes directly to the palace and accepts the bowing of the ministers, this is the glory you deserve!"

"Shut up! What do you know! What is this moment? This is the moment that will go down in history, and I will go down in history without saying a word here, and I will go down in history without taking a single step, and it will become a memory in the hearts of future generations!"

"I have already dedicated myself to the government, and if I don't take advantage of the last almost to get the sympathy of the people, I will have no chance in the future! If the Shang family wants to live in the future, and if they want to be rich and prosperous for a long time, there is no other way than to be loved by the people!"

"Get off the Imperial Palace, I'll go up!"
