Chapter 754: Enthronement Ceremony
Ember City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
His Majesty the Emperor made his first appearance to appease the masses.
In view of the riots that occurred in Aster City a few days ago, the military deliberately dispatched elite troops to ensure law and order, and the Defense Department also dispatched a large number of men to prevent him from being offended.
Although the mob makes up a large number of survivors, there are still many who come out of the mud without staining. These people are basically divided into two different camps from the mob. The mob lives beneath the Ash City to fight the zombies and kill each other for food, while the good citizens abide by the moral bottom line and prefer to go to the outskirts to take food from the mouths of mutated creatures.
In addition to the mob, there are still many people who have returned to the empire with gratitude and emotion, and most of them are gathered here at this moment.
A huge holographic projection at the front of the building showed Anyang's appearance and behavior in front of them, and the sound project his voice to every corner, which made the survivors excited.
"The Empire does not discriminate against anyone, everyone has the right to live in the Empire, we will also provide work for everyone, everything will go back to before the Cataclysm......"
"The Empire also has enough force to protect everyone!"
"The end of the world is coming soon, peace is coming, this time it is the zombies that are being cleaned up, and next time it will be mutant creatures!"
"I believe that in the near future, there will be no more filth, no more blood, no more creatures that make you afraid to go out, and no more wars. As a subject of the empire, you have the right and calmness to walk from any angle in the world, and you will no longer worry about food and clothing, I promise in the name of the emperor of the Huaibei Empire......"
"In the Far East, everything I said has already been realized, and our technology has made life easier and smarter, and you can listen to the radio ......"

Zhai Liying was still wearing the black military uniform, standing meticulously under the stage, her legs slender and straight and powerful.
It's obviously a daughter, but it's extraordinarily serious!
This ancient and charming city is really suitable as the western hemisphere companion capital of the empire, it was once one of the most famous tourist cities in the world, and the facilities are intact, as long as everything can be cleaned up, maybe it is more prosperous than Pingnan City. The most troublesome mobs have also been dealt with.
This propaganda lasted for about an hour, of which Anyang was only in charge for less than twenty minutes, and then came down.
"Your Majesty is going back, right?" Zhai Liying asked.
"Well, will you go back with me too?"
"Of course, it is a capital offense to miss His Majesty's enthronement ceremony!" Zhai Liying's expression was faint, "The notice said that His Majesty will attend the enthronement ceremony with the queen?" β
"yes."
"Kill two birds with one stone."
"Ahem."
**************
That night, Anyang got into an exclusive car and returned to Pingnan City, accompanied by several key officials.
Office of the Military Administration Buildingββ
Zhou Mingyuan's body stood up straight, and the old god said: "Sure enough, only His Majesty's decisiveness can make such a feat, and the mob accounts for half of the survivors, right?" β
An Yang chuckled: "You already knew." β
"Don't dare." Zhou Mingyuan lowered his head, "It's just that the matter of how to deal with the mob has been debated for too long, some adults like Your Majesty, mainly kill all these people, and some adults feel that they can be pulled to do coolies, there is no need to kill them all, it just so happens that the empire is short of people now!" β
"So General Zhai is a standard radical, and you should also advocate killing them all." An Yang said lightly.
"They can no longer be called people, leaving them will only be an eternal scourge, Your Majesty is not in the country all the year round, these people and their thoughts will sooner or later decay the empire!"
"Okay, I don't blame you for this!"
"Your Majesty is wise."
"The enthronement ceremony hasn't been held yet, have you started to worry about these red tapes so early?" An Yang looked at the patriarch of the founding dynasty with some amusement, "You have to remember one thing, even if I am in charge, it is different from the previous feudal emperors, and at the same time, I must distinguish it from the emperors of the original Central Empire, at least these complicated and verbose etiquette are definitely not needed." β
"Yes, the choice of the times, I understand."
"It's good to understand. When I inspected the scientific research area a few days ago, I found a technology that is worth promoting, replacing the identity card used by the empire with implanted biochips, this technology is estimated to be fully mature in a short time, and it will undoubtedly allow our system and system to enter a more intelligent era, you remember to implement it when the time comes. β
"Yes."
"There's one more important thing." An Yang took out a new stack of A4 papers, "I am now away for longer and longer each time, resulting in too long a reflex arc of the empire, and a new and more complete decision-making body must be formed to replace me in exercising power, or rather, I want to divide some powers." β
"Your Majesty, this ......" Zhou Mingyuan's eyes widened.
"This is also an inevitable thing, I have prepared a specific plan, it is all here, you don't have to object."
"IβI'll see!" Zhou Mingyuan hurriedly pulled the A4 paper and kept swallowing.
This decree was undoubtedly sensational, as it already had a bit of a tendency to transform the emerging Huaibei Empire from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. In the former, the monarch has all the right to dominate the military and political power of the country, and the state is the private property of the monarch, while the latter only retains the monarchy, and the rights of the monarch will be limited through constitutionalism.
However, the decision-making body above only exercises power on behalf of Anyang, and it only takes effect when Anyang is not there, and Anyang still has absolute control over the entire country!
No establishment of popular sovereignty, no restriction of monarchs!
So it is still not a constitutional monarchy, but a temporary parliament with great powers. It usually resembles the combination of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province in the Tang Dynasty, or the peak of cabinet power during the Ming Dynasty. In Anyang's absence, the whole institution united to exercise the rights of the monarch, but when Anyang returned, their rights fell on their own.
In order to check and balance, ordinary people like Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Yafei only exercise the rights of ordinary parliamentarians when they sit at the parliamentary table to avoid a speech.
There is no speaker, and everyone is equal in Parliament.
And when they go to parliament, of course, they have their own duties, and they have great powers, and they have their own place to carry out their resolutions.
If ordinary people do this, there is no doubt that they will face the risk of being overlooked in the long run, no, it can even be said that it will inevitably be overheaded, but Anyang will not, and there is no worry.
As long as he sits on the throne of this empire for a day, then the parliament will be suppressed by him, and as long as he returns, all rights will remain his, and no one will be able to encroach on them.
Unless he can't return to the apocalyptic world.
If that were the case, the council would be harmless.
At least to keep the empire running.
Zhou Mingyuan read this document and quickly realized its great significance to the empire, and also understood that this decision must be made carefully, but he still did not oppose it after all.
It is true that when there is a monarch, it is a great rebellion to seize the power of the monarch, but what about when there is no monarch?
There's got to be something to decide, right?
Anyang is often not in the country, and it is not uncommon for him to be gone for a year now, if he leaves longer one day, could it be that the entire empire has stagnated, waiting for him to come back?
Two days later -
Enthronement Ceremony!
This is destined to be a major event of national concern, and for Comrade Anyang and Xiaoqian, this is actually not unfamiliar.
After all, it's not the first time.
At this moment, the civil and military officials of the Huaibei Empire were already waiting in the newly built Huaibei Imperial City, and the sky was full of cameras, filming the pictures and projecting them to the world in real time.
In six or seven years, there has been no heavy industrial pollution, the sky is blue, and the sun is very bright, in fact, it is inseparable from the government's urging to rain and clouds a few days ago. Although the imperial city built by the emerging empire in a year covers a wide area, it is certainly not as thick as the imperial city of the original Central Empire, but it has a different kind of beauty from the hands of the construction machinery.
The power structure of the new era needs efficiency, and naturally the stone steps that the ancient imperial city cannot walk through are eliminated, although it has lost that momentum, but it is also worth it.
A red carpet spreads into the distance, as if it has been derived to the sky, and at the end of the sky, a palace with a modern and classical temperament opens its doors to the four seas.
The deafening and powerful music heralded this moment to the whole world. The honor guard was also covered with silver shining armor, standing straight at the door, attracting many reporters to point their cameras at them, as if telling the solemnity and freedom of this moment.
Anyang dressed up to attend, wearing a set of dresses that many designers had worked hard to design in a year, and he had selected them, which was noble and awe-inspiring. It's just that it doesn't have the complexity of the ancient imperial robes, and it seems to be a lot more concise, which is very in line with the political style of the empire in the new era.
Comrade Xiaoqian next to him is much more complicated, completely beautiful and noble, and there is a floor-length skirt behind him.
However, this outfit also made her originally gentle and pitiful temperament extremely noble, coupled with the delicate makeup on her face, An Yang couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it at first.
"Boom!"
With the roar of the salute, music was played in the imperial city.
An Yang smiled and glanced at Xiao Qian, and in her somewhat shy gaze, he took her hand, stepped on the beat of the music all the way, and walked along the red carpet to the magnificent palace.
Drones flying in the sky transmit this grand scene to the world in an attempt to wake up the land.
Since the enthronement ceremony was also a ceremony for civil and military officials to enter the imperial city, all the officials also acted at the same time, neatly following the sides behind them and walking towards the imperial city.
At this moment, the whole country celebrates, and the world is shocked!
Comrade Xiaoqian's expression quickly became graceful and generous, and she greeted the shutter flash of the reporters, indifferent and calm.
The salute roared again, and the hundred officials bowed their heads and saluted.
What follows is a series of elaborate rituals.
The Empire was built in a time of ruins and should not have been so extravagant, but having just regained vast swathes of territory and dealt with so many survivors, the government urgently needed a feast that would be the opposite of the apocalyptic tone to shock the survivors' senses and shock them, so that they would be convinced and believe in the Empire!
The enthronement feast is just in time for this time, and it can also break many rumors of 'the emperor's nonsense', killing two birds with one stone.
After the end of the ceremony, the new mechanism of the empire is officially operational.
Anyang also quickly returned to the real world.
