The location of the Port Authority Building is the former Dutch Trade Hall, which was demolished. Since there are no merchant cargo ships here, the area of the port building is not large, and it is exquisite: a three-story red brick building with a large area of glass, taking into account the functions of the port, the viewing restaurant and the fort.

When the convoy arrived at the entrance of the building, it was already full of people. At this moment, most of the crossing group was already waiting in the building, and there was also a group of young soldiers in white naval uniforms waiting in the dock area.

The next moment, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and it was Xia Xianze and Lu Sheng, the former armed police captain and "Minister of National Defense," who served as the driver.

The ceremony officially began from now on: Cao Chuan of course could not "jump" out from behind the dragon chair to ascend the throne, there was a symbolic step of "leading the ministers into the palace", so at 5 o'clock this morning, Cao Chuan was already waiting on the third floor of the port building.

The moment Xia Xianze got out of the car, the tweeter hanging on the corner of the building played the "Separate March" and "Unity and Friendship March" on time, and the originally silent scene suddenly became lively, and a ridiculous feeling of "kissing" filled the air.

Xia Zhongtang, who was also wearing a purple windbreaker and a ribbon on his chest, walked through the crowd and came to the third floor amid the exchange of ears from the surrounding melon-eating crowd.

At this moment, Cao Chuan is wearing a more gorgeous windbreaker, but the color is bright yellow that meets social expectations. He sat alone in a chair, next to the stars and moons. After seeing Lao Xia appear, everyone stopped chatting.

Immediately, Xia Xianze walked in front of him and bowed slightly: "Cough... Your Majesty, it's time to go. ”

"Let's go." Cao Chuan laughed when he heard this, then stood up, looked left and right at the excited traversers around him, and after nodding, he took a historic step forward.

After going out, Cao Chuan did not pause and quickly got into the car. Lu Sheng, on the other hand, slowly turned the car around and drove in the direction of the imperial city behind a few horses.

At the same time, the traversers of the brigade also lined up and followed behind the car.

Behind the purple queue are green and white queues of soldiers.

The procession-like procession marched towards the imperial city, and people talked happily along the way, without the solemnity and grandeur of the ceremony.

......

At the moment when a red sun jumped out of the horizon, 251 traversers had already gathered in the Jianyuan Hall on the top of the imperial city, and at the same time, the echo of a salute - 108 sounded on the fort in the corner of the imperial city.

At this moment, there was silence in the Jianyuan Palace, more than 200 people stood neatly left and right, and Emperor Cao was already sitting on the dragon chair, with a crown on the table in front of him - everyone was waiting for Xia Zhongtang on the stage to read the "persuasion table".

If you follow the ancient persuasion table provided by the emperors, Xia Xianze will be embarrassed today: he can't read the rope and can't understand it.

In addition, the dicks in the audience, including Cao Chuan himself, also couldn't understand it.

So what Xia Xianze finally read into the microphone was a concise and concise declaration of the upper position of the big brother of the underworld: unanimously agreed by all the traversers...... Constitutional monarchy...... Jointly elected Cao Chuan as emperor...... Enthroned today...... Who is for and who is against?

Seeing a neat "approval" sound from the audience, Xia Xianze turned around and bowed to Cao Chuan on the dragon chair: "Please crown the emperor." After Cao Chuan nodded, Speaker Luo, who was waiting on the side, stepped onto the stage.

Speaker Law is Professor Law, and his real name is Luo Lixian. According to the rule that "the speaker of the House of Representatives must be a person without party affiliation", he was the one who was finally elected as the speaker.

And he is also responsible for crowning Cao Chuan today.

After walking quickly onto the stage, Professor Luo first bowed slightly to the audience, then turned around and came to Cao Chuan, took the crown handed by Xia Xianze, held it with both hands very neatly, and gently placed it on the top of Cao Chuan's head.

Cao Chuan could only accept it silently at this time - he was a little helpless. According to his character, the whole Yi Shanguan will be fooled around, and the crown is too good.

However, he failed in this matter: it was hoped that the program would be as imagined and then used in the coronation of future emperors.

The next moment, Licheng and the "ministers" began to worship the new king.

There is no three kneeling and nine knocks, there are three bows and one kneeling - more than 200 novices learned that the two on the stage first bowed three times chaotically, and then everyone went down on one leg unevenly, with the insincere "Long live my emperor" in his mouth, the scene was chaotic and funny, like a third-rate crew in Hengdian.

Cao Chuan, who got up slowly, looked calm: It is obviously unreliable to expect these old socialist men with mobile phones to play feudal superstition; He is fully mentally prepared for today's situation.

However, from the moment Cao Chuan stood up wearing the crown, he had become the emperor de jure of the emperor, which is true.

After getting up, Cao Chuan first said softly: "I declare that the empire starts today. ”...... When this sentence was spread by the microphone on the table, the "Golden Dragon Empire" established by the traversal was officially opened.

After the simple upper-level procedure, it is the popular part of sealing the official wish.

The first is to make a wish. Emperor Cao then announced in public: I will rule the world with you.

This is an important promise: the legal roots of the hereditary rule of the state and the nobility, including the future sharing of the cake, come from this. So with Cao Chuan's words, whistles, applause and long live the roar of Mr. Cao instantly sounded in the hall.

After making this wish, Cao Chuan made an endorsement as the founding king: when everyone grows old in the future, he will preside over the distribution of the fruits of everyone's hard work - the mountains, rivers and mountains will return to the country, and the enterprises will return to the people.

As for the imperial family...... The Imperial Family doesn't need that. After a long time, there will always be a despair and disappear among the families who are indispensable in this time, and the imperial family is the only family present that can rest with the country, so the imperial family does not want anything, as long as the country is prosperous.

......

After making a wish, it is an official.

Xia Xianze was summoned to step forward first.

Seeing this red-faced, big-eared old brother walking in front of him, Cao Chuan couldn't help but think of the first conversation between them in garbage alley: "Don't go forward, if you want to pee, just ...... in place"

The world is impermanent.

After settling down, Cao Chuan smiled and patted Lao Xia's shoulder across the table, and then stacked a copy of the constitution on several cases on a milky white mutton fat jade seal, plus a short golden scepter, and handed it all to Xia Xianze: "I now appoint you as the prime minister of the empire, and permanently entrust you with administrative power, the right to appoint and remove officials, the right to pardon criminals, and the right to diplomacy." ”

After Xia Xianze received the prime minister's seal symbolizing the government's functions and powers with both hands, he bowed his head and bowed: "The minister will bow and die with all his might!" ”

Next, Cao Chuan picked up a bright red bloodstone seal from the table: "I now appoint you as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and you will be in charge of the imperial military power." ”

Xia Xianze bowed down to receive the seal.

After the prime minister's inauguration, Cao Chuan then appointed the speaker of the parliament, Lo Lixian, and presented him with the text of the constitution, a golden hammer and an obsidian seal symbolizing the rights of the parliament.

It should be noted that in the current imperial structure, since there is an emperor who is exempt from all laws, there is no such thing as a "supreme justice": the Minister of Justice, who is also the president of the High Court, is the highest judicial position - this position is a member of the cabinet, below the prime minister.

At this point, the affairs of the administrative system are finished: the subsequent second-level officials will be nominated by Xia Xianze and decided by the parliament.

......

Here's the time of separation.

The 250 people stepped forward in turn, and received from the emperor the edict that had made them viscounts and a blank piece of Tianhuangshi jade pendant: they could afterwards engrave their family emblem on this jade pendant.

The protracted ceremony took too much time: everyone bowed and knelt on one knee at a time to show their submission after receiving the letter.

After the whole ceremony was completed, the several cases full of items in front of Cao Chuan were finally empty, and now only his own things remained: seals, treasures, and seals used by the emperors.

The most important and the largest of these seals is the jade seal - Fuzhou sent troops and horses to seal the "Shoushan Township" in the north of Fuzhou before standing here, and excavated near Shoushan Creek, and transported all the collected Tianhuang stone back to the imperial city.

Nowadays, the jade seal placed on the table of Cao Chuan's case is carved from a piece of topstone topaz with the size of a child's head.

......

After all the rituals were done, the time had come to noon,

Finally relieved, the traversers began to order the fort to fire a second salute, and a feast was held in the Jianyuan Hall...... It's time to "feast the courtiers".

After the feast, in the afternoon, after a few sips of beer, the enthusiastic monarchs began to meet with their indigenous elites...... In fact, from today onwards, these indigenous elites have the official name "National".

The first citizen who was fortunate enough to come to the Jianyuan Hall was naturally the first Zhou Tong Zhou Dazhai master in history who had dealt with Emperor Cao.

Zhou Tong came to Cao Chuan with his second brother Chen Huoding and third brother Chu Jianli.

After the two sides met, they were also full of emotion: thinking of meeting in the mountains back then, the expressions of surprise on each other are vivid. And now that things are wrong, the three masters of the screen village have become the elite of the empire and the heroes who serve the country.

Cao Chuan sighed, first gave wine to the three of them, and then gave gold and silver.

The gold and silver here are not silver ingots, but the "Cao Datou" silver dollar with the face value of Yiyuan and the imperial banknotes that will be officially issued.

These patterns were brought by Cao Chuan from later generations, and the molds have been prepared and will soon be issued in-house.

After rewarding the wine, food, and money, Cao Chuan rewarded the three of them with the title of "National Soldier", and with the merit of "beheading Zheng Zhihu", Chen Huoding was specially promoted to the rank of second lieutenant.

The first group of indigenous elites retreated after receiving their rewards. The next to face the saint is the representative of the "literati class": Jiang Shang.

This little beggar, who was starved and rescued by the traversals, has now grown into a young man with an elegant temperament.

When Jiang Shang came to the emperor and elegantly recited an ancient "congratulatory message", Cao Chuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at this kid who was "given a name" by himself, and immediately named him the title of "national scholar", and gave him money and a Marlboro gold pen.

After Jiang Shang, he was a former down-and-out scholar representing the literati class of Toucheng, and now an agent of the Intelligence Bureau, codenamed "Chemist".

Although Cao Chuan is not familiar with Nanwang, he still has a good impression of the capable talent in front of him. After that, it was the established procedure: he was rewarded with wine and food, and with Nanwang's merit of "destroying the bandits alone", Nanwang was awarded the title of "national soldier" on the spot.

There were more people in the fourth group: the army and navy each selected twenty elites to come to the Jianyuan Palace.

Here, Cao Chuan first conferred the titles of "Royal Navy" and "Royal Army" to Liu Zhe and Han Xiaobo respectively.

Next, he awarded Wei Yuan the banner of "The First Battalion of the Guards".

After that, it was the turn of the individual - on behalf of the army officers and navy officers and men, the two elite young officers Yang Er and Mao Wu came forward to show their loyalty respectively.

Seeing these two young people, Cao Chuan couldn't help laughing. It's really unseemly: one is short, and the other has a birthmark on his face, just these two people have repeatedly made military exploits and become youth representatives of their respective branches.

The emperor was naturally not stingy at this time, and after the treatment of wine, meat, money, and national soldiers, he gave him the name "Yang Willy" with the credit of Yang Er's "capturing the bandit leader Lin 100,000 alone".

Mao Wu also handled the same: Cao Chuan gave him the name "Mao Wujian".

......

The action of rewarding the national elite from all walks of life continued until the moment of the palm lamp. And when the lanterns came on, the emperor ascended the throne, and the action of "celebrating the whole world" was naturally indispensable: fireworks from later generations were set off on the imperial city.

This action immediately alarmed the people of the entire Dayuan Island and Chihkan area - when had the natives seen such beautiful large-scale fireworks?

As a result, the Chihkan Avenue facing the Taijiang River was suddenly crowded with people who came out to watch the fireworks. People called friends, shouted, clapped their hands, laughed, the male worker took the hand of the female worker, and everyone stared intently at the distant sky above the imperial city like a fairy palace, watching the puff of fireworks burst, their mouths kept making exclamations, and their eyes were full of praise and longing for a beautiful life.

However, what the people didn't know was that while they were cheering and watching the fireworks, a certain monarch and minister, who was standing on the imperial city and also drinking beer and enjoying the beautiful scenery, was now dripping blood in his heart...... Yes, every time fireworks go to the sky, most people have blood in their hearts.

You know, counting the cost of ascending to the throne such as horses, cars, gift bags, fireworks, rewards, various documents and tokens, etc., the crossing forces have used up at least four months' import quota.

In other words, the "mobile quota" accumulated by the people who traveled before has disappeared with the emperor's accession to the throne.

From now on, at least for three or four months, all the "high-tech" projects that cross the society will need to be stopped until the quota for motor transportation is sufficient.

Therefore, every time the fireworks go to the sky, the hearts of the old men are dripping blood......

......

At this point, Emperor Cao's enthronement ceremony is completely over.

And with the completion of this simple, chaotic, and flawed ceremony, the giant ship of the new empire has officially straightened out its internal relations and begun to embark on a journey to set sail.

As for the specifics of the first half of this enthronement ceremony, it will become the top secret of the empire in the future: it is too sloppy, and the future ruler of the empire is ashamed to reveal the truth.

Of course, the rough program is limited to this generation.

In fact, it didn't take many years - only 150 years later, the grand occasion when Cao Chuan's great-granddaughter ascended the throne and was crowned was broadcast live around the world; Eighty percent of the population of the empire witnessed the live broadcasts, the elaborate rituals and steps, the grand spectacle, the majestic military parade, which were not expected by the people who perfunctorily shouted slogans in the main hall today.

In short, the emperor ascended the throne and the empire was formed.
