Chapter 238: National Celebration (5) -- Ethnic Celebration

Burma and Siam both regretted knowing that Vietnam had already married the Ming Dynasty first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info knew that he should have sent his princess to Daming. Create a chance encounter, let the princess and President Daming cook raw rice, and it will be successful. Anyway, the Vietnamese princess, isn't this how she climbed into President Daming's bed?

With this in mind, the envoys of the two countries began to spread the news that insulted the reputation of the Vietnamese princess. But after all, this is just to vent frustration. Because Vietnam and Daming are still arranging marriage matters step by step.

There was no way, and the envoys of the two countries made another statement to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Willing to serve with a Vietnamese princess. The Foreign Affairs Department was quite moved by this proposal, so he strongly encouraged Yang Chong to marry all three princesses. This just makes up a table of mahjong. But Yang Chong is a more traditional and loving man. I feel guilty about my ex-wife, and I don't have that honest acceptance of my new wife. didn't have the mind to enjoy the blessings of all people, and resolutely refused to marry more.

After much talking, the Foreign Affairs Department had no choice but to give up. Burma and Siam were also disappointed to learn of this result. However, in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, there are still two golden bachelors, Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao. is not only a high authority, but also much younger than Yang Chong.

This made Myanmar and Siam immediately shift their attention to Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao. The Ming Foreign Affairs Department also began to attract their attention. If you marry two more princesses, the dowry can be calculated again.

After discussion, Daming set the wedding date of Yang Chong and Yuxuan on September 27. This leaves only a week to prepare. When the news reached the overseas provinces of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chong had already married a wife and got married. Those countries with diplomatic relations also did not have time to send missions to Daming to congratulate.

Therefore, the offices and offices set up in Mingjing in various provinces hurriedly procured gifts and congratulated them. The embassies of the countries with diplomatic relations in Mingjing also thought of ways to give gifts that best represented sincerity on that day.

As a result, those mascots with meanings such as "a hundred years of good harmony" and "early birth of a noble son" were sold out in a very short period of time. A lot of gold and silver jewelry, wedding gifts, have also been speculated to sky-high prices. As a result, many newlyweds cannot afford to buy wedding items because of the scarcity of funds.

It is in this festive public opinion environment. A week passed in a hurry.

On the day of Yang Chong's wedding. Newspapers in various parts of Mingjing spontaneously carried out public opinion propaganda. That formation is quite overwhelming. The propaganda department of the Ming Dynasty did not stop it. After all, this is not a simple marriage, but a marriage mixed with too many political factors.

A lot of publicity, but also highlight the friendship between Ming and Vietnam.

The owners of many commercial houses have a unique vision. Take advantage of this festive day to carry out promotional rewards and crazy sales. It looks like a statutory festival such as the National Day and the Spring Festival, and it is lively and lively.

In fact, this was originally a method to promote domestic demand, and now it has spread all over the Ming Dynasty. Even overseas, there are many businesses that copy Daming's promotional methods.

After a lively and lively for a while, according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chong used eight sedan chairs to pick up Princess Minh Yi of Vietnam from the embassy. Then worship the church and get married, and send it to the cave room. Daming finally had the first lady, and Yang Chong also bid farewell to the identity of a golden bachelor.

This big wedding is finally like the wind, blowing by.

October 1 also followed.

In the future, this is the birthday of the new China and the country, and it goes without saying that it is a grand celebration. It's just that the National Day of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of New China, which is in July. But October 1 is also an important day. Because according to the new national policy announced in August, today will be the day of the birth of the only nation in the Ming Dynasty, the Han nation.

I saw that early in the morning, the Republic Square in Daming Dynasty gathered a lot of people wearing Hanfu one after another. This is the only square in Daming with the word 'republic', which can accommodate 500,000 people at the same time. Although the area is only one-tenth of that of Tiananmen Square in later generations, it is still one of the largest squares in this era.

Its front is the presidential palace, which has been heightened and remodeled, making it more powerful and domineering. Like the National Day military parade, or any major celebration, it will be held in this square.

Due to the hard and fast rules, on the day of the establishment of the Han nation. As long as the people in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, whether they have obtained the nationality of the Ming Dynasty or not, they must wear Hanfu. No one other than the staff on an important task should violate the rules.

And because Hanfu itself represents a kind of status hierarchy, the upper and lower are inferior. So Da Ming announced again. Except for the officially designated people who can wear the court clothes in Hanfu, everyone else can only wear the regular clothes of ordinary people. However, there are no dynasties, regardless of the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, as long as it is Hanfu, it can be worn.

So the Ming Dynasty went up and down, as if overnight, back to ancient China. Wear Han clothes and practice Han etiquette.

In the center of the square, a rectangular platform covering an area of 666 square meters stands quietly, implying six or six Shun. It is nine meters high and has ninety-nine steps, representing the ninety-nine to one of Taoism, the realm of perfection. Then put on the five-colored soil to symbolize the abundant harvest of grains. Around the high platform, the four divine beasts are engraved. Tall, mighty, guarding the Ming Quartet.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always admired science, the national celebration is still very ceremonial. After all, this is made for people not to see, the more complex and complicated, the more people will have a sense of distance, so as to give birth to a sense of awe.

Under the orders of the Ming high-level officials, the Department of Religion specially summoned monks, priests or Taoist priests who were highly respected in the religious circles of the Ming Dynasty to chant scriptures and pray for the national celebration. Because there are many believers in the Ming Dynasty, the participation of the religious community just increases the sense of sacredness of the national celebration.

What's more, in normal times, these religions were confined to a small area by the Ming Dynasty, and they rarely had the opportunity to show their faces in public. Therefore, the celebration of national celebrations is also an opportunity for various religions to expand their influence and attract believers.

As a result, monks, priests, monks, and Taoist priests of various religions, such as Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, and Taoism, all participated in the religious celebrations. For the number of people who show their faces on stage, they are fighting for red faces. In the end, there was a fight in the Department of Religion.

It seems that in the face of interests, few people can not be unmoved.

At this moment, they gathered around the altar, divided into different small areas, and reverently chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings. The solemn appearance of the treasure made many onlookers feel awe.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the newlyweds Yang Chong and his beautiful wife appeared in the square on time. The flower-filled carriage steadily carried them to the high platform.

When they stepped up the first step, the onlookers stopped breathing. The sound of chanting was also suppressed to a minimum. Only melodious Chinese music, slowly rising. (To be continued.) )
