Chapter 747: Dongning Kingdom
The royal family of Bo Ni did not have the decisiveness and strength that they had when the previous king was on the throne, and just when they asked for help from several outside countries, but ran into walls everywhere, the opening ceremony of the Sanlikun Zheng clan was about to be prepared.
The original Wu Acropolis is now about to be changed to "Anping Wangcheng" to commemorate the ancestors of the Zheng family.
This royal city will also serve as the palace of the Zheng family, although the regulations are a little low, but the Zheng family has been used to living for so many years, so it was decided to live here in the future, but a new set of palace groups headed by the three major halls will be built between the Anping royal city and the center of Sangpu, as the outer city of the Anping royal city, used as the daily office of the cabinet and relevant departments and the venue for holding court meetings.
Yes, the restored kingdom of the Zheng clan adopted a constitutional monarchy and would have a cabinet and parliament, which would be more acceptable to the outside world.
However, before the construction of the three halls and other buildings in the outer city, the king, the cabinet and the parliament will all work in the original Sanlikun Autonomous Prefecture Government Conference Building, and when the outer city is completed, the cabinet will be relocated, and the conference building will be changed to the Kingdom Assembly Building, referred to as the National Assembly Building, for the king and the cabinet to convene various local officials for group discussions.
At this time, Wu Jizong, under the service of his cronies and maids who acted as ceremonial officials, was wearing the traditional Ming style royal clothes.
This is one of the most noble dresses in ancient times, and it is also the dress worn by the emperor during major celebrations such as the sacrifice to heaven and earth, the temple and the New Year's Day, the winter solstice, and the holy festival.
In the Ming Dynasty, the crown clothes below the prince were not embroidered with dragons, but they were all called crowns. Under the emperor, the prince has seven chapters and eight crowns. Five chapters of the county king, seven crowns. Goryeo, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, was given five chapters of gowns, and Emperor Jianwen later gave the king of Goryeo nine chapters of gowns to the county king, so it was customized.
And Zheng Jizong followed the lord of the Zheng family's Yanping County King, and he did not have the idea of deliberately engaging in flower work, and what was customized was the crown of the stainless dragon in the five chapters and seven crowns of the county king.
Although there is no Ming clan in this era, no one will cure him for trespassing even if he wears the crown of the prince or even the crown of the Son of Heaven, but things have come to such a point, and there is no need for him to ruin his reputation and the Zheng family for a set of clothes, so as to provoke the Zheng family to be criticized among the Xia people.
Because the ancient official robes and king's clothes were very particular, it was difficult for them to dress neatly, so they needed to be served by many people.
The other three members of the Zheng family and Gao Jingfei were all by Zheng Jizong's side at this time.
While putting on clothes, Zheng Jizong talked to Gao Jingfei.
"Maybe some people don't understand, my Zheng family is a good hereditary nobleman, why do you have to be independent from the Boni Kingdom and restore the country, isn't this just an excuse to target yourself?"
"It's actually a complicated situation."
"First of all, the Zheng family's three-hundred-year-old wish is to reshape the Ming Dynasty and restore the Zheng family's national ancestry, which has become an obsession in the hearts of my Zheng family's ancestors!"
"Secondly, the situation we are facing looks like a fire and flowers, but in fact it has reached a dangerous edge, one step forward is surrounded by wolves, and one step back is an abyss, it is really not okay not to rush!"
"Thanks to Xiaofei, you have the blessing of matchmaking, as well as the benefits brought by the previous sharing of the Liu family's industry, The Zheng family is now unprecedentedly expanded, and it has reached a critical moment where you will retreat if you don't advance. But we can't give up that part of our interests to others for fear of being targeted, which is undoubtedly the behavior of the enemy! ”
Gao Jingfei nodded in understanding and said:
"It's really a lot of money!"
He doesn't know much about politics, but the experience of his previous life tells him that if you don't have a good life, others will laugh at you, and if you live well, others will be jealous of you.
What's more, Wu Zhixuan analyzed these when she was with him.
"Interests are driven by a pair of eyes staring at the Zheng family, there are allies, friends, and those neutral forces who have been pulled to share the cake of the Liu family, and there are also international capital predators and our enemies, opponents, and jealouss!"
"And the strength and number of the latter are very terrifying, once the Zheng family shows the appearance of weakness, it is conceivable that those neutral and even former friends and allies will inevitably fall into the well, just like the hyenas and vultures on the prairie, they must be very happy to follow the wolves to get a piece of the pie!"
Zheng Jizong saw that his son-in-law understood his hardships, and he was immediately satisfied, and then said:
"In addition, I also have some selfishness in it, after all, the ancestors came up with the alliance of the Boni Kingdom in order to protect themselves at the beginning of their foothold in Nanyang, so my Zheng clan is nominally under the rule of the Boni Kingdom, and it can be regarded as a vassal to the native chieftains, so that they can establish a stable foundation in Nanyang. But as a descendant of the Great Xia Dynasty and the heir of the dignified Ming Dynasty, how do you say that we are willing to be vassals to the barbarians who were not even vassals of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Gao Jingfei nodded in agreement, as a Xia country in the new era, he can't accept that he surrenders to those backward nations that are not as good as Xia countries, or to anyone, this is the pride of the Great Xia nation standing on the top of the world since ancient times.
"So my Zheng family has been preparing for more than three hundred years in order to restore the country, and there have been several great opportunities in history, all of which have been interrupted due to various accidents, and the experience of Lan Fangguo makes us understand that in the previous environment, a country ruled by the Zheng family may not be allowed in this land, and once it emerges, it will let the natives and colonists attack it en masse!"
"This time the extraordinary wave is coming, taking the opportunity of the great changes in the world, I have to launch anything, otherwise I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult to have such an opportunity in the future!"
And what Zheng Jizong didn't say in his heart was that in addition to the timing and his own preparation, Gao Jingfei, the son-in-law who can be called the world's first extraordinary person, was also one of the decisive factors in his final decision to launch the Heaven Change Plan after discussing with his wife and second brother.
……
According to the ancient rites and combined with the actual situation, the officials of the Zheng family arranged a grand enthronement ceremony for Zheng Jizong.
After receiving an audience from the courtiers in the hall of the former state parliament building and now the National Assembly building, and then receiving the courtiers' worship, Zheng Jizong, who officially ascended the throne as the fourth king of Dongning, announced his first royal edict.
The ceremonial official reads the edict on behalf of the king, and there is nothing to do with eunuchs, and there will be no eunuch profession in this era. And the court governor of the Boni Kingdom is a matter of history.
The first edict was to announce the name of the country and the name of the year.
The name of the Zheng family is taken from the name "Dongning" taken by the King of Yanping of the Zheng family when he expelled the Netherlands to establish a state on Dongfan Island, also known as the eastern capital, and the capital is Mingjing, which means "peace in the East China Sea" and the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Historically known as the Ming Zheng or Dongning Kingdom.
After the name of Dongning was announced, it was basically recognized by the people of the kingdom and the Xia ethnic groups in various places.
As for the foreign language translation of the country name, the Zheng side did not use the English pinyin used in Middle-earth, because on the western side, the Dongning Kingdom has passed hundreds of years, and it is still translated as "Formosa Kingdom".
Because this is the unified name of the Dongning Kingdom established by the three generations of Dongfan Island and the Zheng family in the West, they have been accustomed to this name for hundreds of years, and when it comes to Formosa, they know where it is.
The Zheng family is not good to change the trouble, I don't see that the English name of Xia Guo is not Xia Guo Pinyin, and there is also some inheritance in it.
No matter what Westerners call it, in short, the name of the Dongning Kingdom has been set, and it will stand in the South Seas from today onwards!
