668 Strange opening ceremony
The military department competition, the full name is called the military department collective competition, the four doors of the military department will participate, once a year, held in turn, this year to the Suzaku Gate. Since it is the home field, it must not be too embarrassing, so Marshal Suzaku attaches great importance to it, and he came twice before the "big competition" was held, convened a meeting of captains from all walks of life, and asked them to win the top three in each rank.
There are only four courses in total, how can you be satisfied with winning the top three?
In fact, it is not that simple, when each level of martial arts competition, four people from each of the four gates, that is, a total of sixteen people participate. Sixteen people through the ring, the final determination of the top three, if the strength is not good, it is very likely that none of them enter the top three.
Among the four gates, the strength is balanced on the surface, but in fact, there are still differences, the Qinglong Gate is recognized as the strongest, and the Vermilion Bird Gate is recognized as the weakest. Therefore, Marshal Suzaku does not expect to be the first in all ranks, but at least he must enter the top three, this is his minimum requirement, if he is lucky to have a first, he will definitely laugh from ear to ear.
If you win the first place in a certain rank, you will not only be elected as a star of a certain rank, but also have a rich reward, and be awarded a first-class meritorious service, which will be recorded in the history of the Ministry of War, and will be used as an important reference for future promotions and promotions. In the opinion of the captain of the dwarf, a person like me who is strong and has a background, if he brushes up some more achievements, it will be smooth sailing in the future.
Therefore, I am also full of confidence and ambition to look forward to the arrival of this big competition.
Soon, the "War Department Competition" will finally be held.
It was a sunny and sunny day, and early in the morning, the other three gates came to our Suzaku Gate. As I expected, there were about five hundred people in each of them. In other words, there are more than 2,000 people in Yeming's military department alone, plus the dark forces in various places, it is hard to imagine how huge Yeming is, and it has almost spread all over China!
With so many people coming together, the Suzaku Gate has already been prepared, and the gongs and drums are noisy and the flags are displayed. The flag is a special flag for the night, with the sun and moon logo embroidered with gold thread, and the half-bent moon embraces the round sun, waving in the wind, which looks very domineering.
Seats have been arranged on all sides of the square, and the four gates of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu and the Vermilion Bird each occupy one side, and there are several large and small rings on the square for competition. Because Suzaku Gate is the organizer of this year's "Military Department Competition", we are still on the rostrum, and there is a row of VIP seats in front of us, which is naturally for senior leaders to sit on.
Not to mention, the scene is quite like a thing, it feels very formal, and there are opening ceremonies and performances. At the opening ceremony, Marshal Suzaku was the host, and he invited the marshals of the other three gates to appear, which was also the first time I saw the true faces of the other three marshals.
To my surprise, Marshal Qinglong turned out to be a sexy and enchanting woman, with wavy curly hair, seductive Danfeng eyes, seductive red lips, coupled with bold and revealing clothing, her perfect body curves are also revealed.
Marshal White Tiger, as his name suggests, is indeed as majestic as a tiger, with a strong and muscular body, full of explosive aura, and a huge axe inserted behind his spine, he is a typical strength warrior, which is also very eye-catching.
And Marshal Xuanwu looked a little weaker, it turned out to be a short old man, not to mention the folds on his face, but also holding a cigarette pouch with him, and the cigarette did not leave his mouth, and spit on the ground from time to time, he couldn't see the slightest bit of superiority, and it looked quite obscene.
After the four marshals took the stage, they immediately received the warmest applause and cheers from the scene, after all, this is everyone's direct boss, and the sycophants that should be filmed still have to be filmed. After the four marshals appeared, Marshal Suzaku invited the six Shangshu and the dean of the Imperial Procuratorate, which was also the most important guest today, and this "big competition" was mainly for them.
For me, of course, this kind of opportunity is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is rare for the high-level people in the night light to see it, so I looked at them with wide eyes, trying to remember them all in my mind, and then report back to Aman.
It's a pity I don't have a candid tool, otherwise it would have been a good opportunity to catch them all. There is no way, I can only rely on memory to try to recognize people.
Among these senior leaders of Yeming, I have only seen Gao Shangshu of the household department and Lao Qiao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it can be said that both of them are my old acquaintances, the former was my boss, and several times relied on false edicts to save me from fire and water; The latter frequently made things difficult for me, tortured me several times, and hated him so much that my teeth itched.
I didn't know the other books, but I still tried to remember what they looked like. Most of them are old men in their fifties, the only thing that surprised me was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who turned out to be a quiet and gentle woman, wearing a well-cut light-colored cheongsam, and holding a small sunscreen umbrella in her hand, obviously afraid of damaging her fair skin, the whole person is soft, glutinous, and walks slowly, with the taste of a woman in the water town of Jiangnan, it is really hard to believe that she is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department who is in charge of punishment in the night and holds the power of life and death!
Although these high-level leaders in the night light came to the stage, although they also received a lot of applause, but in general they were not as enthusiastic as when the four marshals came to power, perhaps because these people were too far away from everyone, so they couldn't raise their spirits.
And I don't care about that, trying to remember what they look like, it's very valuable information for us dragons. It's a pity that the supreme leader in the nightlight, the most mysterious Queen Mother, did not appear, but this is not a small gain.
And the mysterious person who always falsely passed on the edict, saved me from danger several times, and certainly had a good status in the nightlight, did not appear, which makes me particularly regretful. Of course, maybe he's here too, but I don't know, after all, I don't even know what he looks like.
After introducing these high-level leaders, except for the secretary of the military department, who remained on the stage to continue speaking, everyone else returned to the stage and sat down on the rostrum. This is a collective competition of the Ministry of War, the speech of the Ministry of War is definitely indispensable, and the appearance of the Ministry of War is also quite surprising to me, he is a middle-aged man with very ugly facial features, his eyes, nose, and mouth are almost crooked, but no one at the scene dared to make fun of him, and they all looked at him with solemn faces when he spoke.
This military department Shangshu, I heard Aman introduce before, nicknamed Jian Xilai, a sharp long sword all over the world, rare opponents, known as the first master in the nightlight!
It's a pity that I didn't see his long sword at the scene, nor did I see his demeanor as the "No. 1 Master of Lumine", so I thought he was too ugly, too ugly. What's even more bizarre is that standing on the stage to speak, he can't even speak, his tongue seems to be shortened, and he stumbles to introduce the origin of Yeming, which is nothing more than those old-fashioned allusions, what the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty and the like, I hope everyone will work together to recast the glory of the Ming Dynasty or something, even I can memorize it, he even said that it is not good!
But no matter how bad he said, the scene was as quiet as a chicken, no one dared to make fun of him, and no one dared to show a trace of impatience, everyone listened with respectful and solemn expressions.
This is the embodiment of strength and status!
At the scene, if anyone can beat the long sword in his hand, he can go on stage and say a few words!
More than ten minutes later, the ugly-looking military secretary finished speaking. Then, facing the west, he raised his hands high and said loudly: "Let us wish the Queen Mother and her old man a long life, longevity and heaven!" I wish the Queen Mother the early recovery of the Ming Dynasty! ”
More than 2,000 people at the scene also stood up one after another, raised their hands above their heads, faced the west, and shouted in unison with solemn faces: "I wish the Queen Mother a long life, longevity and heaven!" I wish the Queen Mother the early recovery of the Ming Dynasty! ”
The voice was really loud and sound, and I could see that everyone around me was shouting from the bottom of their hearts.
I have seen with my own eyes what a cult is.
When I was in this group of people, following them with their hands raised high, facing the west, and shouting "Long life without borders, longevity and Tianqi, and the early restoration of the Ming Dynasty", I felt that I was really stupid, and I wanted to slap myself twice.
- How do they believe it, what do they have in their heads?
After this series of activities was over, the military department Shangshu stepped down from the stage and returned to the rostrum to sit down. Marshal Suzaku continued to preside over the opening ceremony of the "Great Contest of the Military Department", and those who should show up were revealed, and those who should have spoken were also spoken, and then the show was performed.
Because Suzaku Gate is the organizer, so the show is also produced by us, of course, mainly by the members of the red, orange, and yellow three orders, there are collective martial arts performances, as well as singing, sketches and cross talk, of course, all of them are singing praises of virtue, singing praises to the Queen Mother how great she is, singing praises to the Ming Dynasty how sacred, we can't eat without the Queen Mother, etc., it feels similar to the Spring Festival Gala, and it can even attract bursts of applause, and I am embarrassed to be committed.
Two members of the Orange Order are performing cross talk on stage.
"A monkey riding on the tree, a monkey on the ground, how many monkeys are there?"
"Eight?"
"Wrong!"
"One?"
"Wrong!"
"How many are that?"
"Not a single one!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"When the Queen Mother arrives, all living beings must give way, do you want to obey?"
"Serve, serve!"
Just these few words actually caused the audience to cheer. Looking at the fanatical faces and excited looks around me, I couldn't help but wonder, is it because I'm normal, or are they abnormal? In the process of watching the show, I kept thinking in my heart, my God, what has the country done over the years, how can such a group of brains survive until now, and still develop so strongly?
After more than a dozen performances, the opening ceremony finally came to an end, and at this time, half of the morning had passed, and Marshal Suzaku finally announced that the "War Department Competition" had officially begun!
