The weekend came as scheduled, coinciding with the weekly weekend holiday, which was a routine vacation every seven days after the Celestial Empire adopted the Western calendar, but today's day is more special, in addition to being an ordinary weekend, it is also the forty-eighth birthday of His Majesty Wen Zhengliang, the emperor of the Empire today. ai
Although the age of forty-eight is not a whole number of years, nor is it a birthday once every five years, it is just a birthday that is usually celebrated once a year, but after all, the person who celebrates the birthday is the current emperor, who is in charge of a territory that spans thousands of miles, crisscrossing the north, south, east and west, and the people of Li in the territory alone have a huge empire of no less than three billion.
Such a large and vibrant empire, such a person who rules such a powerful country, is naturally different from those ordinary people, local gentry, whether it is the civil and military generals of the dynasty, local dignitaries, foreign envoys and dignitaries, consortium families, and even the media around the world, all have great interest in participating in and reporting such a gathering.
Therefore, in today's day, every year's birthday of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, no matter how old you are, even if the new emperor who ascends the throne is only in his twenties, even if he himself wants to keep a low profile, just with his family and acquaintances, a simple birthday party in the bank can't work, because there are too many people who want to come over on a day like today, and the annual birthday banquet has pinned too many people's hopes and attention. This is probably the price to pay as a person who can decide life and death in a word, can make the earth tremble three times with a stomp of his feet, and has gathered most of the power of the entire empire.
At this time, in the huge royal palace newly built more than 200 years ago in Luojing New Town, there have been various powerful dignitaries and celebrities from the international community gathered here since dawn in the morning, and some of them were invited. Therefore, it is possible to enter the meeting at a designated place in the royal court within the prescribed time, and our great emperor will go there at a certain time around noon today.
In addition, a considerable number of people and various media were not invited to attend, and these people were not even qualified to enter the venue. You can only leave with a copy of your heart and birthday gifts outside the noon gate, or simply stand behind the soldiers and soldiers on both sides of the main road, looking at those who have invitations to enter the palace from afar.
Hopefully, at some point, they will meet some invitees they know well, and if they are not surrounded by the three quotas specified in an invitation letter. At this time, these magnates, dignitaries, big businessmen, local gentry, celebrities, entertainment stars, and speculators of all walks of life who are waiting here have a chance, as long as they have enough reasons and costs to impress those who are willing to bring people in, then they can get what they want.
This kind of rule is the same as when Liang Yue attended Old Man Tang's birthday party in Lingjiang. The pattern is somewhat similar, and even similar to the rules in some Vanity Fair in the previous life, and even in some high-grade parties, this kind of rule seems to be more popular in foreign countries, and the Celestial Empire has only begun to rise in the past hundred years.
Generally speaking, there are two parties on the birthday of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, the first is the birthday day, the noon banquet held in the royal court in Luojing New City at noon. There are people from all over the world, political dignitaries and gentry, officials and magnates, as well as experts and scholars. Entertainment star.
Even if you use some connections and sacrifice a little price, some uninvited media people can get in and conduct some small-scale interviews and photo activities in secret, and no one will take it seriously. In terms of supervision, it is also relatively relaxed, as long as it is not excessive, there are no mistakes, and if there are any incidents, even the professional security personnel responsible for maintaining order on the scene will not pay much attention.
Of course, this is only in the case of no accidents, no trouble, once something happens, it will cause big trouble, not only the parties who created the incident, but even those invitees who helped the parties to mix in will also be implicated.
His Majesty the Emperor will also attend this banquet at the appropriate time, and it is possible to greet people from all walks of life, and to talk and laugh and chat, but it is basically useless to have an intimate conversation with the most powerful and terrifying person in the world.
In addition, the real powerful occasions, the birthday banquet is still held in the evening, and the venue is not in this Luojing New City, because in the eyes of the royal people and all levels of the Celestial Empire, the inner courtyard of the palace in the ancient city is the real royal and the real place where power is concentrated, and only here can there be a variety of heavyweight gatherings.
The birthday party that Liang Yue and Liang's mother are going to attend is to be held in the ancient city of Luojing, which will be held in the evening, and the people invited to attend will all be the powerful people who are important in the entire Celestial Empire, the high-level members of the family, the official heads of various government departments, and some important people who have retired, but their influence is still far-reaching, and the royal backbones and branch members who will be assigned to hold important positions in various parts of the empire will also come to rush back to their families to celebrate His Majesty's birthday.
In this era, although the overlapping succession of the throne is no longer as cruel as the previous dynasties and generations, the so-called awakening to the power of the world and the knee-like life of drunken beauty are still what the vast majority of princes and grandsons, and even many members of the royal side family yearn for, so on a day like today, whether it is for the purpose of celebrating his birthday or other thoughts, many royal members will be present to congratulate him.
In addition, there is also a tradition that surprises Liang Yue in this life, or that is not a tradition, but a pioneering achievement, that is, in the nearly 500-year history of the development of the Celestial Empire, there have been countless genuine princes and grandsons of the emperor, but the final throne was passed on to a side descendant of the royal family.
This way of succession is the main historical dynasty of China in the previous life failed to appear, only between the Tang and Song dynasties, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms period appeared once, the emperor's orthodox heir is still alive, but in the end it was passed to a branch nephew, and this nephew is not even the same surname as the original emperor, which is a feat that opened the entire dynasty.
The reason is also very simple, that is, because this nephew is wise enough, and the means and methods of handling state affairs are more like an emperor, the Celestial Empire in this life has not done such an exaggeration, and the member of the collateral royal family who was passed on the throne in history is still surnamed Wen, and it is still because of his virtuous and heroic posture that he was passed on the throne.
And this famous emperor who was pinned on high hopes and had a rather legendary style, and later did not disappoint the royal family and the entire Celestial Empire, which was the great emperor who took over the throne of the Celestial Empire in the era when the Western Industrial Revolution was just emerging, and successfully transformed the empire during his term of office, and carried out a number of political reforms in the modern sense. This created the most glorious prosperous period in the entire Chinese history.
Today's Celestial Empire is still under this prosperous era, it can be said that it was the enlightened initiative at that time that led to today's Celestial Empire, so that the emperor's birthday every year will attract all nations to congratulate, all countries to come, and not only the Celestial Empire, but also many local countries and regimes in the world, even the annual birthday of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, set up as a national legal holiday.
And in each Celestial Emperor is located in the next successor, those countries will also change the holiday period, for this matter, some good things foreign media, and even held a special conjecture activity about the next holiday period, ignoring the fact that the current emperor is still in the prime of life, and the date of the festival will be changed ten years or decades later, and it will be a sequence of entertainment programs, and the various sons and grandsons of the emperor of the Celestial Empire who are qualified to become successors, Even the generation of collateral children is listed in it for conjecture, so as to judge the specific time of this holiday, it has also caused a ratings frenzy for a time, which is really a little laughable.
In short, it is precisely because there is such a tradition in the history of the development of the Celestial Empire, so those royal members who were originally only sidelines inevitably joined such a team that actively fought for the right to inherit the throne, although they knew that this probability was very small and very slim, and even in the entire history of China's development for thousands of years, there were only two such cases.
But there is hope is better than no hope, the original members of those side lines are prominent, but the status is embarrassing, work hard for a lifetime, if you are lucky not to be suspicious by the heavenly family, at most it is to become a prince with authority, if you want to become the emperor, you can only take the risk of a coup d'état, but this is basically impossible in modern society, but the current Celestial Empire has such a tradition, which is equivalent to invisibly drawing a big pie for them, indicating a bright future ahead.
Therefore, the emergence of such a traditional initiative has also stimulated many side members of the Celestial Empire in disguise, urging and motivating them to work hard, Corporal Lixian, and strive for such a hope. (To be continued.) )
