Chapter 477: Opening Ceremony of the Parliament
Not only Mancini, but all politicians and people know that the future of the country lies in the royal family, and looking at the economic construction and big business investment these days, there is no one that does not have the shadow of the royal family, or their indirect influence. If you want to live better, you have to rely on them.
In special periods, the political power and the royal power do not have to be distinct.
An Feng actually doesn't want to care so much, he is very lazy, he just wants to live comfortably, but without a suitable designer, the ideal country is not easy to achieve. In the first few years of national construction, some decisions that focused on policies needed to be looked at and cared for, plus appropriate reminders.
After the election, the Queen formally appoints the Prime Minister and her proposed Cabinet.
The more important ministers in the cabinet are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the future Ministry of National Defense, and other ministers are also nominated on the basis of the previous government, and the foundation is somewhat weak, and even some ministers' posts are temporarily vacant, and they are concurrently held by others, and I am afraid that they will have to continue to expand in the future.
The inauguration ceremony was held in the local palace, and the scene was very strict and the content was very simple. The queen seemed to listen attentively as the members of the council read aloud the decrees of appointment, but after each decree she read was the same: approval.
Although the royal family does not completely follow the traditional route, the basic form must still be in place.
After the appointment ceremony, the next part of the schedule will be the opening ceremony of the parliament, which is scheduled for July 10. The time was rushed, but the preparation time was still tight, and according to the designed route, the queen would travel by carriage from the palace gate along the road to the former provincial parliament, now the temporary parliament building.
Many firsts in this country are worth paying attention to.
So Joanna also prepared carefully, and rehearsed at home, and the butlers, Brandon and Ms. Roberts, designed the entrance ceremony according to the arrangement in the council. The Queen's attitude, expression, and where the Prince stood, the details of his responsibilities, and the time of the carriage, etc.
Preparations have already begun before the parliamentary elections.
Important cavalry units and carriages, which had to be trained in advance, could not have been rushed until July. So many people watched. Once something unexpected happens, something ugly is small, and the queen will be harmed, the country and the royal family will lose face. So I started training at the end of May.
The good news is that the local equestrian culture is strong, with an annual horse racing festival where traditional medieval horse duels are staged, and a very large number of highly skilled volunteers are selected. Let them train specially, and when the time comes, they will make a cameo appearance in the Household Cavalry team that will open the way for the Queen.
……
Joanna was so busy that even the kids knew not to bother her.
An Feng took on the task of receiving relatives and friends, including his parents and sisters, who wanted to come to appreciate the queen's demeanor, and secondly, to bring support. Other friends who have free time because their children are on summer vacation also participate in this event. The opening of the parliament will be grand.
Friends get bigger. The child also has a playmate, and he no longer pesters An Feng.
The arrival of cousin Xiaoyu. It's very pleasing to the children, and now it's her turn to be busy dealing with Alice. Alice is nine years old this year, and she is still more mature in her intelligence, and she is no longer as easy to fool as before, but fortunately, her cousin always has a way to make her obedient and obediently be a good example.
In the expectation of the outside world. The 10th day of July begins. The streets that the queen is going to pass through are crowded with people on both sides, and many people do not go to work on this day, so they come to the capital to watch the ceremony. Cagliari has a population of about 500,000, but there are at least 700,000 people in the city.
This is already half of the country's population. The rest of the people also stood in front of the television.
With the development of modern technology, it is easy to conduct live broadcasts, two sections from the queen's carriage to the parliament gate, but six hundred meters away, there are more than a dozen cameras, and the TV station occupies a good position for every scene in advance, and there are also the most people around.
Accompanied by An Feng, the carriage in which the Queen of Sardinia rode appeared. At the foreground were two rows of sword cavalry, with horses marching at a steady pace, followed by a royal carriage drawn by a color horse, and four groups of horses marching to their destination.
The coachmen were also dressed in grand costumes, and there were sabber guards in the back of the carriage, and the crowds on both sides of the street cheered, and the queen in the carriage looked out the window, raising her hand from time to time to greet her. Some passers-by are performing traditional rituals, with men bowing and nodding and women curtsy.
Foreign reporters or tourists who saw this scene sighed that the queen's prestige was really extraordinary, and it made this country that had been separated from the monarchy for many years recall the set of etiquette of the ancestors. seems to be fanatical, but the reason behind it is reasonable, and I have to accept it.
Even foreign tourists are saluting.
Half of them were infected by the feelings of the masses, and half of them were out of gratitude to the Ahns, who may have saved their lives in last year's illness, and now they are here to witness and send greetings and thanks up close, as if they were going back in time.
Finally, the slow carriage arrived at the parliament building amid cheers.
The doors were pulled open and the dressed queen got out of the car. The camera focuses on her, dressed in a silk gown embroidered with gold thread and a skirt that falls above her knees, without respect for tradition or transgression. She is tall and has long legs, and the right heels make for a unique charm.
In addition to the gown, she also had to wear the "imperial robe", the color was light yellow, a little white, draped over the shoulders, buttoned in front of the chest, the yellow robe was very long at the back, and it needed to be carried by two attendants. After she came down, she stood still in front of the camera for a few seconds, and suddenly the king's demeanor was fully revealed.
The cheers of the surrounding crowd have exploded.
An Feng also got out of the carriage, his dress was not too grand, the uniform was customized in the United Kingdom, with traditional royal elements, a black breasted uniform, epaulettes, armbands and ribbons, wearing white gloves, and the shouts did not stop after getting off the car, he was responsible for holding the queen's left hand.
The hand-holding gesture was a bit like inviting a lady to dance, but it was a formal entrance ceremony, and both of them had solemn faces, and they were escorted into the chamber by the guards. The courtyard was full of spectators, black on both sides, and the crowd was dense, all dressed in suits.
Slowly walked through the passage, came to the throne prepared at the front, and turned to sit down.
Other members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as high-ranking government officials, also sat down in turn, and the cameras around them were pointed at the stage, and some swept over the stage, and the atmosphere was very solemn. At the same time, an attendant held the latest agenda in her hand and sent it to the queen, and she opened it and swept her eyes over it.
The content is written in both English and Italian, and the meaning is the same, and the queen needs to read both at the same time, so there is no problem with English, but she does not understand the meaning in Italian. But it doesn't matter, whether it's French, Spanish, Italian or other similar languages, you can pronounce it correctly without understanding the meaning at all, or even recite it with emotion.
The Queen began to read out the Government's policy guidelines.
Since it is a new country, it has a lot of content, mainly economic construction, social welfare and education, energy, and national defense construction. Joanna has practiced the content many times, and she is fluent in both English and Italian, and she can often look up at the audience.
The audience in front of the television is very concerned about the key points of the government's policy.
This program represents the government's plan for the next two to three years, with the construction of the country and the economy in the first place, ensuring stability and development, and the welfare of the society is related to the people, and it is a measure to win the favor of voters. Of the remaining issues of education, reform is important because it involves English education.
There is also an important "currency" in economic policy. The currency issued by the central bank is the Sardinian dollar, which is issued according to the domestic economic situation, but since the country has just been established, the value of the currency is based on gold and dependence on the euro, and it will take some time to gradually stabilize the exchange rate.
In order to prevent some ill-intentioned capitalists, the financial experts of the consortium have provided a lot of advice and help, and foreign capital is also actively buying government bonds, this game is led by An Feng and the consortium participates, so they are very concerned about this matter.
Energy problems have always been in short supply in the country, and after An's Industry moved in, the National Power Resources Company has been developing rapidly, so it is only aimed at how to ensure the supply of electricity in the two years when nuclear energy has not yet come. The rest of the national defense, naturally, is a matter of the army, and the queen has to delegate authority.
After the reading, Joanna's eyes swept over the audience and said loudly: "I hope that my new government can bring new hope to the country, lead the people on the right path, keep up with the trend of world economic development, and create a better future with sustainable development!" ”
The audience applauded, Joanna finished speaking, and the ceremonial attendant next to her announced the queen's departure.
Followed by a solemn exit ceremony, the audience stood up and watched Joanna, accompanied by An Feng, leave the parliament, and the rest of the time, the two houses will each set the time and content of the meeting, and the prime minister will also participate in the decision-making of the parliament...... But none of this has anything to do with the Queen.
Leaving the parliament building, the carriage returned to the palace in a high-profile manner under the opening of the way of the Royal Cavalry.
Nearly half a month of practice preparation, just for this short moment, both of them have taken great pains, it is really not easy.
But looking at the reaction of the masses, they were successful.
On the way, the crowd was still warmly farewell, and Joanna, who was in a good mood in the carriage, also waved to them frequently in response, and many people saw her smile, which was bright from the heart, because Joanna had just learned from An Feng that her appearance was exemplary.
The spectators on the side of the road were also walking around, and the whistle was heard.
On the way back by car, An Feng said: "The coronation will be in four months, are you ready?" ”
"No problem." Joanna nodded, and said, "You have to give me support." ”
"I will be the first to pledge allegiance to you." An Feng said, "Her Majesty the Queen! ”
Joanna was satisfied: "I learned well! ”
"You taught it yourself, can you be bad?" An Feng smiled and hugged her, "Don't worry, with so many people supporting you, I predict that you will be as successful as today, use your own aura to control a qiē, and declare to the world that this is the greatest trust your people have in you!"
