Chapter 381: Inexplicable intimacy

When Emperor Renzong took the initiative to return to the government and the people, he was opposed by many families. Later, after a nationwide vote, China implemented a constitutional monarchy, and the emperor was the supreme leader of a country, holding the highest judicial power, and the supreme leader of the army.

The emperor chooses the prime minister of the country, and the prime minister of the country forms the cabinet. The Cabinet has executive power. But it is not possible to decide on any actions of the army, only the power to make recommendations. The emperor has the power of amnesty, and the emperor also has a veto power on major matters.

Therefore, although the emperor entrusted the development of the country to the cabinet government formed by the prime minister, the affairs of the army were still controlled by the emperor. In the event of major upheaval in the country, the emperor had the power to dissolve the cabinet and take back all power.

It's just that neither Renzong nor the current emperor have interfered too much in the operation of the government after choosing to appoint the country's prime minister. However, all the senior government and cabinet officials know that the royal family is still the most noble family in the country. The Emperor is still the most powerful man in the country!

The current emperor's name is Xiao Yuanchao, with a gentle temperament, since he succeeded to the throne, except for expressing his opinions on the appointment and dismissal of some generals in the army, he rarely appears in public at ordinary times, and even on important national festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival every year, he just hurriedly comes out to say a few words and leaves.

Because the emperor had no sons, only two daughters, so in recent years, many people have been discussing whether the throne should be passed on to Princess Wanyi or choose one of the side branches. It's just that the bloodline of the members of the royal family surnamed Xiao is not pure, these people are all members of the Xiao surname who were of the same clan as Taizu back then, and there is no direct bloodline of Taizu.

Although these people surnamed Xiao have been active in recent years, trying to emulate the affairs of Song Yingzong after Song Renzong, they were strongly opposed by the empress dowager, and the matter has never been brought to the stage.

Taizu had four sons and six daughters, but later because of the war, three of the four sons were killed in the war, and the one that survived only gave birth to a son, and then the bloodline of Taizu fell into the strange circle of the only seedling.

To the current emperor, there is not even a single seedling. There are only two princesses. This made many Chinese people speculate whether there would be another empress in China in the future.

And if there is really an empress, it will definitely be a choice between Princess Wanyi and Princess Ziyan.

Therefore, although Ziyan is only celebrating her fourteenth birthday, there are many people who came to congratulate her today.

In addition to the people from the five major families, there are also some people in the field who are the children of high-ranking officials from the Chinese political arena, such as Bao Rong, the eighteen-year-old daughter of the current Prime Minister Bao Zhongrui, such as the twenty-two-year-old He Yinzhen, the youngest son of Defense Minister He Yuanling, and the thirteen-year-old Li Ruoran, the youngest daughter of Minister of the Interior Li Congrong.

These ministers are all human spirits, and they have all seen the irreversible trend of the emergence of the empress in China.

Therefore, they all want to take advantage of Princess Ziyan's birthday to send the younger generations of the same age in the family to come, hoping to make friends with the two princesses. In the future, when one of the two princesses succeeds to the throne, his family will be able to get close to the water and get the moon first.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, this way. ”

Just as Xiao Wu was looking at the people in the hall, a crisp voice sounded, Xiao Wuxun looked at the voice, Gu Ling, the girl was standing in a group of girls about her age, waving to him on tiptoe.

With a smile, she walked over and was pulled by Gu Ling to introduce her friend.

"This is Xiao Wu, the author of "Harry Potter", I said I know, you don't believe it! Now that people are here, you can ask. ”

Wrinkled his nose and smiled wryly. This girl, so enthusiastically called him for this!

can only helplessly cooperate to answer all kinds of strange questions from these girls. But two minutes later, Xiao Wu felt his head grow. What kind of problem is this, what version of "Harry Potter" do you think you watched?

"Can the owl who delivers the message beat the eagle??"

"When you enter the platform of nine and three-quarters, do you run fast or walk slowly? Will you not be able to get in if you walk slowly? If you run fast, if you hit the wrong position, will you hit your head full of bags?"

"Can Harry Potter's invisibility cloak hide anything? If you have a mobile phone, is there a signal on your mobile phone when you are invisible?"

Xiao Wu suddenly found that if these girls in front of him went to write online articles, they would probably become great gods, so they were rushing at these brain holes, who were they not popular?

Just as Xiao Wu was answering these girls' questions painlessly, he heard someone shouting "Princess Ziyan is here", and hurriedly took the opportunity to get rid of these little devils, and walked quickly to Guo Yuqing, who was standing on the side and giggling at him.

"You see that I am surrounded by this group of girls, and you don't save me!"

"You are in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed! Do you know that being surrounded by this group of girls is an opportunity for many people to beg for nothing! You should faint happily. ”

Guo Yuqing teased, just now she had been standing on the side with a smile, watching Xiao Wu anxious in the middle of this group of girls, but she didn't have the slightest idea of stepping forward to solve the siege.

However, if it was not a group of girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old who surrounded Xiao Wu, but a young and beautiful girl in their twenties, I was afraid that she would pull Xiao Wu out at the first time.

Xiao Wu was speechless, what else could he say? Those girls just now were not from any family or from a high-ranking official's family, and they were really a little frightened to be someone else, but for Xiao Wu, these middle two girls were all little devils, Xiao Wu was only about ten years older than them, but he felt like he was half a century behind them!

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire has arrived!"

Xiao Wu had already seen Ziyan, the second princess of the royal family, who was wearing a pink dress and a flower crown, and beside her, was Wanyi, who was also wearing a dress, but her dress was white. Behind them, a tall middle-aged man in a golden robe, accompanied by a woman of about thirty years old who looked like Wanyi, followed them in.

This is the first time Xiao Wu has seen the emperor of the Huaxia Empire in reality, and he had seen the image of His Majesty the emperor when he was checking the information before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor's status was too far away from him, and it was his unattainable existence at that time. Being able to see the emperor so closely today feels a little dreamy when I think about it.

The emperor has two very eye-catching eyebrows, the face shape is between the national character and the round face, and his eyes are gentle when he looks at people, if he doesn't know his identity, he will definitely not think that he is the emperor when he meets Xiao Wu on the road.

Maybe Xiao Wu's line of sight was too strong, so that His Majesty the Emperor sensed it, the emperor raised his head and looked in the direction where his gaze came, just in time to meet Xiao Wu's gaze, and the eyes of the two people were intertwined, for example, they both froze. They both felt familiar and familiar in each other's gazes.

As the name suggests, Xiao Wu felt that his heart was beating a little fast! It seemed that one magnet was attracted by another magnet!

Although my heart was beating faster, there was no tension, but it was very natural and casual, as if I had returned to my own home and seen my loved ones.

What a strange feeling! Xiao Wu saw His Majesty the Emperor smile at him and nodded, and politely returned the salute. Then both of them staggered their eyes, but both of them had questions left in their hearts.
