After a set of oriental etiquette, Qin Zhiyuan was already exhausted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the matter is not over, Qin Zhiyuan still has to go to the Holy Light Cathedral in Coconut City to accept the blessing of Benedict XV.

The Holy Light Cathedral is the largest church in Coconut City, but this "largest" is still not worthy of the aura of Benedict XV and the level of Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony.

Let's make a living, the Dutch believed in Protestantism, not Catholicism at all, if from this point of view, this so-called Cathedral of the Holy Light should be demolished and rebuilt.

But as Auerbach said, there is no need for that now, as long as Benedict XV is there, it is no longer a "God" of "God", and it is useless for anyone to say that they do not conform to the rules.

In order to match the traditional etiquette of the Chinese, Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the Holy Light Cathedral at eight o'clock in the evening.

Although it was late, Benedict XV and Auerbach did not have any grievances, at least not from their expressions.

In order to match the blessing of Benedict XV, Qin Zhiyuan wore a robe embroidered with the emblem of the Knights of Glory, and a sword symbolizing force at his waist, and appeared in the Cathedral of the Holy Light surrounded by a group of important ministers of the kingdom.

Huang Bohan They are really not at ease, God knows if these religious ceremonies will conflict with Chinese traditions, or they have to come and see it with their own eyes to be sure.

In fact, all the heavyweights were on the church's side, including Lloyd George and Raymond Pongaret.

The governments of the traditional powers of the West have given Qin Zhiyuan enough face, and the heads of government are almost all present, but the European royal family is not very interested in Qin Zhiyuan, except for William III who was present in person, King George V of England, King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, and the Queen of the Netherlands and others did not attend.

Queen of the Netherlands?

Don't be funny, the Queen of the Netherlands is probably setting up a villain at home to draw a circle, and it will be uncomfortable for her to come to witness Qin Zhiyuan's accession to the throne and kill her.

The rules of Catholicism are not many, they are much simpler than those of the Chinese, and the key is that Auerbach knew that the Lanfang ministers led by Huang Bohan were resistant to the church, so the procedure was simplified a lot.

However, there are some procedures that cannot be simplified, such as prayer.

When praying, Qin Zhiyuan was asked to kneel on one knee in front of the cross, which was strongly opposed by Huang Bohan.

In the traditional Chinese concept, the king is the "Son of Heaven", the biggest one in the world, so who is qualified to bear the king's bow?

What's more, the Catholic cross is the kind with the image of Jesus, not a bare cross, which makes Huang Bohan even more repulsed from the bottom of his heart.

Auerbach did not insist too much on this issue, after all, for Auerbach, it was important for Auerbach to have Benedict XV personally crown Qin Zhiyuan and complete this symbolic form.

So kneeling on one knee becomes holding hands in front of each other's chests.

After the prayer, Qin Zhiyuan sat on the golden "throne" symbolizing imperial power, and Benedict XV officially appeared in the chorus with the blessing of the choir.

The crown is naturally indispensable, and I don't know where Auerbach got it, the volume looks quite large, there are a lot of gems inlaid, and the diamond the size of a pigeon's egg in the front is very conspicuous, at least Qin Zhiyuan has never seen such a big one before.

Benedict XV's expression was serious, and he came directly to Qin Zhiyuan with two cardinal archbishops, and began to recite the prayer in tongue-twisted Latin.

Well, Qin Zhiyuan has no problem with English, French, Spanish, and German, and he can be regarded as knowledgeable, but he doesn't know anything about Latin, so he doesn't understand what Benedict XV is talking about.

On the contrary, this is a matter of convenience, Qin Zhiyuan only needs to maintain a pious and solemn expression, and don't worry about anything else, wait until Benedict XV says the well-known "Amen", and then put on the crown for Qin Zhiyuan.

This is not the end, then Benedict XV and the two cardinal archbishops began to bless Qin Zhiyuan, and it was a long list of Latin.

This time it was longer, it lasted for nearly half an hour, and seeing that Benedict XV's body was already a little crooked, the whole ceremony was over.

In fact, there was a large-scale dinner party next, but Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of participating, because in the process of Benedict XV's blessing to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan found that Dong Xingxiu's eyebrows were dancing and suddenly broke in.

Almost instantly, Qin Zhiyuan's mind fell into a blank.

Sure enough, as soon as the ceremony ended and Benedict XV had just left, Dong Xingxiu couldn't wait to run over and kneel down on one knee in front of Qin Zhiyuan: "Congratulations to Your Majesty ......"

In fact, what Dong Xingxiu was talking about behind Qin Zhiyuan didn't hear it clearly at all, because the entire Holy Light Cathedral had been filled with the earth-shattering "Long live" cheers, and there was no other sound.

Passing on the lineage is a big deal in an ordinary family, let alone a country.

If Qin Zhiyuan has no children, it means that Qin Zhiyuan has no successor, which means that Lan Fang's future is full of uncertainty, which will make all the important ministers of the kingdom, including Huang Bohan, uneasy, and this will make all the soldiers of Lan Fang have no backbone.

Now it's different, Lan Fang, who has an heir, can already be sure that it will continue for a long time, and there will be no accidents.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty ......"

"Long live my king......"

"Congratulations, ...... Qin"

Qin Zhiyuan's ears were surrounded by all kinds of congratulatory sounds, but Qin Zhiyuan's mind was blank, and he could only subconsciously make an instinctive response, responding to everyone's kindness.

It's really goodwill, no matter how dirty the relationship between countries is, at least at this moment, because of the birth of a small life, everyone is releasing goodwill.

Human nature is inherently good.

Because of his son's tie, Qin Zhiyuan did not stay in the Holy Light Cathedral for too long, and flew directly to Penglai Island that night.

Well, since the Foreign Legion had planes, night flights seemed to have become the norm, without regard for the hard work of the pilots......

"Have you come up with a name for your son?" On the plane, William III was interested.

"Uh...... hasn't ...... yet" Qin Zhiyuan was shocked to find that he had never prepared a name for his son.

William III accompanied Qin Zhiyuan back to Penglai Island, and all the national dignitaries in Coconut City were thrown to Huang Bohan, the world is big, and his son is the biggest, which Qin Zhiyuan is not ambiguous.

"Why don't you let me be the godfather of your child?" William III was happy to be related to Qin Zhiyuan.

"No...... My son, I haven't hurt enough, what are you here to make a fuss about? You've got a few of them, and you haven't had enough of being a dad? Qin Zhiyuan despised and disliked.

Godfather, in Christian society, this is a common phenomenon, similar to the "godson" in Chinese society, but the relationship between the godfather and the godson is much closer than that of the godfather and godson in Chinese society, and even closer than the father in a religious sense.

This is Qin Zhiyuan's first child, of course Qin Zhiyuan can't just give it to William III, in that case, the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and William III will be too close.

Even now, Raymond Poengaré has expressed concern about the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and William III.

Qin Zhiyuan and Wilhelm III have a close relationship, which means that the relationship between Lanfang and Germany will grow by leaps and bounds, which is not a good thing for France, the French do not want Lanfang and Germany to get too close, at least not now.

But at the same time, both the British and the Americans turned a blind eye to the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and William III, which also had something to do with their national policy, after all, the British and Americans did not want France to dominate the continent.

Qin Zhiyuan is now walking a tightrope in these complex relations between countries, not too much of a provocation to France, but also not to make Britain and the United States feel that Lanfang is too alternative.

After all, on the issue of Sarawak and Zheng Ho Island, Lan Fang was not happy with Britain and the United States.

Even if Robert Lanxin happily proposed a solution to Zheng He Island, it is impossible to say that Americans have no guilt.

There are some people who have my stuff as my stuff and I don't want to give it away even if I don't need it.

Although Qin Zhiyuan rejected William III's request to be the child's godfather, as soon as the plane landed in the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan was forced to face reality.

When William III and Qin Zhiyuan went to Yecheng, William III and his wife Cecilia did not go, but chose to stay in the Black Swan Castle to accompany Julie.

It is clear that Cecilia's investment is only a day later and the profits are beginning to reap, because Julie has generously made Cecilia the child's godmother.

Well, even if Qin Zhiyuan is already a king, he still has to accept this fact.

William III was clearly pleased with the situation, and as soon as he saw the child, he did not hesitate to give him a welcome gift, a pendant in the shape of a key carved from jade.

I don't know how William III learned about this Chinese tradition, and it is clear that he put a lot of thought into choosing a gift.

Westerners like to elaborate on everything in a symbolic sense, such as a key, which is very symbolic.

However, Qin Zhiyuan obviously didn't bother to pay attention to William III's gifts, but focused all his energy on Julie and the newborn child.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan would not forget his daughter-in-law when he had a son, so he would first comfort Julie, who was pale but proud.

Julie, who has become a mother, is really like being reborn, and she exudes the brilliance of motherhood all over her body.

Julie leaned on the head of the bed, the child was lying in Julie's arms, Qin Zhiyuan stepped forward and gently stroked Julie's cheek, and then held Julie's hand and smirked happily.

At this time, no matter what you say, it looks pale, and everything is silent.

The warm scene didn't last long, and when Qin Zhiyuan came out of the bedroom, he saw Gao Hongshi's face full of tangled and gloomy.

"Just last night, the Japanese detained another of our ships......" Gao Hongshi did not say much, the facts have been described clearly enough.

Qin Zhiyuan was a little irritable in his heart, and at the same time let out a sigh of relief.

It's finally here.

This time, Lan Fang will definitely not give up.
