Future City, the ninth residential area.

The tower in this residential area is for the officers, soldiers and military families of the Starfleet, and nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers of the fleet are each allocated a suite, a hovering car.

Xiang Wuyang, a technical head on the Meteorite Scavenger II starship, is responsible for the operation of the radar system of the entire starship, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

A few days ago, Xiang Wuyang and a group of officers and men on the starship returned to the ground from space and entered a two-week rotational vacation.

However, Xiang Wuyang returned to the ground this time, and the vacation was twice as long as the stipulated two weeks, four weeks.

The reason is that in these four weeks, he is about to complete his life's work and marry the woman he loves.

Today is the day of the wedding.

Newly furnished interior of the bedroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, tidying up the brand-new military uniform on the body, full of energy.

"My son is so handsome!" A middle-aged woman with wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows next to her smiled and kept looking left and right, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.

"Wuyang, our current good days are all given by His Majesty the Emperor, and your future career is also given to you by His Majesty the Emperor...... When the wedding begins, when I see His Majesty the Emperor, I must say two more good words, do you know? "Father is usually a strict person, and on today's happy day, of course he is happy, but he still seriously reminds Xiang Wuyangdao.

"I know, Dad." Xiang Wuyang said a little impatiently, his father usually doesn't like to talk much, but today he said this three or four times.

However, thinking of the girlfriend who was about to become his wife, Xiang Wuyang's heart was hot, so he quickly picked up a communicator and dialed her phone.

"Wife, are you ready? Let me see what you look like. ”

In the network environment of the high network speed of the future city, the communication device can directly carry out video dialogue, and the diffraction projection technology is used, and the picture can be displayed in mid-air.

But. After the video call was connected, Xiang Wuyang did not see his girlfriend's charming and charming appearance, but a golden wall.

A familiar voice on the other side said shyly, "We haven't entered the wedding hall yet, so we can't let you see me." ”

A mischievous voice came from the other end: "Yo, brother-in-law, you are so anxious, now you want to see my sister's appearance, there is no door, but I see that you look like a dog, barely up to the standard of marrying my sister." ”

In the projection screen, the man in military uniform said anxiously: "Ding Ying." Don't make trouble, quickly turn the communicator in a different direction, let me see what your sister looks like, just take a look! ”

"No, not at all!"

After saying that, the video call on the opposite communicator was turned off.

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, and the warm sunlight dyes the city golden.

Wearing a brand-new military uniform, Xiang Wuyang with a military medal pinned to his chest and a bouquet of roses in his hand. With his family in formal clothes, he got on a two-tailed horse-drawn float, and the coachman drove twice to the Temple of Love in the north of the city.

The ornate floats are eye-catching. Because they knew that there would be many soldiers married today, they also wore formal clothes and took to the streets to offer blessings to the bride and groom on these floats.

More than half an hour later.

Xiang Wuyang's float reached the entrance of the steps below the Temple of Love.

"The bride and groom come here. Find your partner and get ready to complete your first wedding project. The wedding organizer said with a microphone in his hand.

Xiang Wuyang hurriedly searched for it in the bride's team.

The targets of male soldiers are not the same, and some are looking for female soldiers in the army. Others are looking for young women from outside the military.

It is easy to distinguish that if the bride is a female soldier in the army, she usually wears a military uniform and skirt, and then a thin wedding dress is draped outside, like a soft gauze outside the sonorous rose, showing the charm of a female soldier.

If the bride is a young woman in society, she wears a white wedding dress, made of linen cloth, wrapped in the bride like an angel, beautiful, holy, and people can't help but care for it for a lifetime.

"Ding Ying, Ding Ying!"

Xiang Wuyang quickly recognized his other half among the more than 500 brides, and ran over quickly, for fear that other grooms would rob her, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The woman's face is like red blood, blooming with the most heart-warming beauty in life, at this moment, Xiang Wuyang believes that this woman is the most beautiful woman in the world...... And she is about to become her own wife.

What a happy thing it is.

"You let go, so many people are here, what are you anxious about?"

The woman pushed gently, smiled at Wu Yang, took the woman's hand, and began to carry out activities one by one according to the arrangement of the wedding organizer.

After taking a lot of photos at the bottom of the temple, five hundred couples, along the red carpet, stepped up the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Temple of Love...... It was a hard journey, but all the newcomers completed it hand in hand, and by the time they reached the top of the temple, many of them had layers of fine sweat on their foreheads.

Inside the Temple of Love.

The music sounded, and the "Song of Eros" reverberated throughout the temple.

In a spacious enough space, more than 10,000 family members, city officials, and high-ranking military officials were waiting inside, focusing on these 500 couples, with a blessed smile on their faces.

After witnesses witnessed the marriage of the five hundred couples and exchanged diamond rings, a voice rang out: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”

Emperor Majesty?

Everyone was shocked and focused their eyes on the entrance of the corridor on the right side of the temple.

A noble man walked over, wearing a pale gold tunic on his upper body, embroidered with a gold-rimmed dragon pattern on his left chest, embroidered with arabesque purple patterns on the seams of his sleeves, wearing a white jade ring on his finger, white trousers on his lower body, and a pair of white leather shoes on his feet...... It was just a regular outfit, but because of the combination of gold, purple, white and other noble colors, as well as the unique tailoring style, the man's noble status was almost immediately revealed.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

All the people in the temple put their right hands on their hearts and bowed seventy degrees to the man.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, all courtesy."

Tianming raised his hand slightly, pressed his fingers down, and after signaling everyone to excuse himself, he took the microphone handed to him by one person.

Holding the microphone in his hand, Tianming looked at the five hundred couples in the center of the temple. smiled and said: "Today is your big day, my arrival has stolen the limelight that belongs to you, it seems that I want to apologize." ”

There was a chuckle from below, and the tension relaxed.

"You don't have to be nervous, you don't have to be restrained when you see me, I'm not a man-eating monster, nor a villain in the movie, I'm your mascot."

Mascot?

The people below were slightly surprised, what does this mean?

"Yes, mascots like the Queen of England and the Queen of Norway."

"The world now. The idea that people are equal is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I, like all of you here, are essentially equal. ”

"But among you, there are ordinary citizens, some are educators, some are scientific researchers, some are officials who run the city, and some are soldiers who defend the city—like these five hundred young men in front of us."

"People of all walks of life are working for the city. are playing their part. ”

"Educators nurture our children and make our children smarter; Researchers study science and technology to make our civilization more developed; Officials keep the city in order and keep our city safe and secure...... Every profession. We respect the capital system. ”

"And the soldiers deserve more respect, they wait in the depths of space, control the planes in the cramped starship, and even more so in the dangerous universe. Risking your life, Guardian of our peace! ”

"All of us, we should use this to these soldiers. Take a heavy bow! ”

Tianming protected his chest with his right hand and bowed solemnly to the five hundred couples.

His Majesty the Emperor actually bowed to the soldiers?

The others in the temple were a little flustered, and they followed his example and bowed to the five hundred pairs of newcomers.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to do this great gift!"

The five hundred couples were even more panicked, and even more than a dozen people came forward to dissuade them.

"No, this is the etiquette you should do to defend your country."

Tianming took the microphone and continued:

"The Tianming Empire is named after me, but that doesn't mean that this empire belongs to me alone, she belongs to everyone."

"My original intention in establishing this empire was not to rule and exploit you, but to make everyone understand what everyone should do in their position?"

"A society in which all men are free is terrible, and a kingdom without reverence and propriety is morally degenerate. I want to see my empire where everyone is polite, who consciously obeys public order, who is caring, and who is willing to share what they have to spare...... At the same time, I hope that the teachers, engineers, doctors, officials and military personnel of our country, and even all walks of life, will become a place where everyone respects themselves and others...... Finally, let the country be full of self-esteem, so that all citizens can be confident and self-reliant! Live on this land as if it were standing on top of the sky. ”

"And my existence is to make this empire glorious."

"What I want to see is: when others ask you who you are, you can say loudly and proudly, I am from the Tianming Empire!"

"What I want to see is: when our starships are cruising on the frontier of the Empire, the soldiers clearly understand in their hearts that they are swearing to defend the territory of the Tianming Empire!"

"What I want to see is: in the face of a powerful empire, the small people dare not act rashly, the weak beg for shelter, and the people of the empire can also be proud to be born in this empire!"

"I don't skimp on rewarding glory...... I will establish an aristocratic system, and as long as there are people who have made great meritorious contributions in building the empire, opening up the empire, and protecting the empire, I will grant them nobility! And for these nobles, people should respect them as much as they respect me, bow lightly thirty degrees, and say 'Hello Baron'...... This respect, this glory, will be an infinite driving force for the progress of this empire! ”

Tianming looked at the five hundred pairs of newcomers in the center: "You are all the hope of this empire, everyone present is the hope of this empire, everyone muster up the courage and confidence in your hearts, and please believe my words: I will reward those who have meritorious service in the empire!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed to Tianming and said in unison.
