Chapter 751: The End of an Era
The elder Morgan wanted to pass on the position of patriarch to John, which stumped the elders of the Morgan family! Because for so many years in the Morgan family, no patriarch has been alive and well, and he passed on the position to the next generation, so there is no precedent at all, and how can the succession ceremony be held? This stumped everyone.
In particular, the elders of the Morgan family and the elders of the Illuminati round table thought too big, and finally after several rounds of meetings and discussions, the succession ceremony was decided.
The new succession ceremony was mainly to remove the funeral part and then modify it slightly.
After the succession ceremony was discussed, the Morgan Family Elders and the Illuminati Roundtable Elders jointly reported the succession ceremony procedure to Morgan Sr., who thought it was feasible and decided to hold it according to the ceremony discussed by the elders.
On the other hand, after the news of the elder Morgan's decision to pass the patriarchal position to John leaked out, Morgan Manor, within the government, and major families looked sideways, and everyone admired the old Morgan's operation.
…………
"Toot ......!"
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the Morgan Manor Church, thirty-two neatly dressed soldiers stand on both sides of the church steps, blowing the bagpipes in their hands, the door of the church slowly opens, and the melodious sound of bagpipes wafts into the church, waking up the sleeping people, who will witness the succession ceremony of the new generation of patriarchs of the Morgan family today.
After the bagpipes stopped, the elder Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, John, the Morgan family elders, the Illuminati Roundtable elders, the government cabinet members, and the patriarchs of the major families of the Morgan Alliance...... , in turn walked into the church, and today they will witness the end of one era and the arrival of another.
The succession ceremony of the patriarch of the Morgan family is very complicated.
In the previous succession ceremony, at dawn the day after the death of the former patriarch, the body of the former patriarch was carried into a dark blue carriage, and the six cardinal deacons of the Illuminati held a giant axe to open the way, and the thirteen elders of the Morgan family carried the hearse, and the family members escorted the body of the former patriarch to the church.
After the hearse arrived at the church, the four Illuminati gatekeepers pushed open the door of the church and stood guard in front of the door, eight knights of light carried the coffin into the church, and placed the body of the former patriarch in the church, twelve temple knights held the sword of light to guard the coffin, and the chief elder led the people to recite the Divine Comedy, which means to usher the gods to the arrival and witness the succession of the new supreme.
Then the heir will recite the main deeds of the life of the former patriarch in front of the spirit, this article is written by the heir himself, in fact, it is to sing the praises of virtue, tell the gods, the sages of the Illuminati and the successive patriarchs of the Morgan family, the merits of the former patriarch, and hope that the gods will open the door to heaven for the former patriarch, so that the former patriarch can enter the kingdom of heaven.
After singing the praises of virtue, the great elder of the Morgan family will announce the will of the former patriarch in front of the spirit, mainly how good the heirs are (mutual praise), and appoint him as the patriarch of the Morgan family...... Yunyun.
After the Great Elder reads the will, the heir will press the coffin of the former patriarch under the leadership of the Great Elder, and the former patriarch and the gods will ...... The oath that everyone took before was mainly the kind of person who had done their best and died.
After the oath is over, the Great Elder announces in person that the heir will become the patriarch of a certain generation of the Morgan family, and then leads the clan to swear allegiance to the new patriarch, mainly after the death of the dedicated.
This is not the end, after the heir becomes the patriarch, the chief elder of the Illuminati will take the oath with the heir with the sword of wisdom in one hand and the "Illuminati Charter" in the other, mainly after the death of the deacon, after the oath is over, the chief elder will announce in public that the heir has officially become the supreme, and finally the chief archelder will take the round table elder, the temple knight, the knight of light, the deacon, and the gatekeeper to swear allegiance to the new supreme.
After the Morgan family and the Illuminati ceremony, the government cabinet, the members of the Military Council, and the Democratic Party Committee swore allegiance to the new head of state in turn, and the heir officially became the patriarch of the Morgan family, the supreme of the Illuminati, and the head of the Confederate States.
After the heir ceremony, the body of the former patriarch will be parked in the church for three days for people to pay respects, and after three days, everyone will recite the "Sending the Divine Comedy" under the leadership of the Bishop of the Illuminati, and send the soul of the former patriarch to heaven, after the "Sending the Divine Comedy", the gatekeeper will open the door of the apse of the church, and the Knight of Light will place the body of the former patriarch in the apse and the underground palace, and the whole ceremony will be over.
However, many of these rituals are not needed.
Because old Morgan didn't hang up!
Therefore, many steps in these ceremonies need to be deleted, and some need to be reformulated, such as when the heir succeeds the patriarch, he needs to press the coffin of the former patriarch to take an oath, but old Morgan is alive and well, and he can't find a coffin and let old Morgan lie inside!
Dare to do anything, old Morgan will definitely let the person who made this idea lie in the coffin first.
So this step should definitely be deleted.
But what should I do after I delete it? I can't skip it! The sense of ritual is very important, and I can't do without it!
But this is not difficult for a group of people, the elders of the Morgan family and the elders of the Illuminati round table after some discussion, soon found a ritual to replace, since you can't swear by hand according to the coffin of the previous patriarch, then take the oath according to the book "Phantom", anyway, "Phantom" is a book that records the patriarchs of the Morgan family, which is equivalent to John swearing to the patriarchs of the past!
However, there are many books of "Phantoms", one for each patriarch, which one to press when taking the oath? This is a new question, some elders feel that they should press the "Phantoms" of the first patriarch, and some think that they should follow the "Phantoms" of the patriarchs with relatively large merits.
This problem is solved satisfactorily!
So John finally swore an oath by pressing this stack of "Phantoms" with his hands!
"I, J.K. Morgan, ...... solemn oath. ”
"With the right granted by the presbyterian church of the Morgan family, I declare that JK Morgan will officially succeed to the position of the sixth patriarch of the Morgan family, and it will take effect!"
"With the right bestowed by the Supreme Elders of the Round Table through the ages, I declare that JK Morgan has officially succeeded to the Supreme Position of the Illuminati!"
After the announcement of the Grand Elder of the Morgan Family and the Chief Elder of the Illuminati, the Cabinet, the Military Council, and the Democratic Committee also officially swore allegiance to John, and after the ceremony, everyone came forward to congratulate John on becoming the patriarch of the Morgan family and the Supreme of the Illuminati.
This is the end of one era and the beginning of another!
