Chapter 761: The World's Largest Royal Palace
Seeing that the referendum of Seba is in full swing, the 700,000 people of Seba have removed minors and the elderly who cannot take care of themselves, and more than 430,000 of the remaining 500,000 adults have participated in the vote, of which more than 78.93 percent have voted in favor, and this is only the next day, and the voting period has not yet ended, and this number seems to have a further growth trend.
This means that nearly eighty percent of the population of Seba is in favor of breaking away from the Grip of the Nitin and joining the Kingdom of Dongning.
This number surprised the people who eat melons in various countries, knowing that Seba is not an area of the entire Xia ethnic group, and the Xia population accounts for only 60% of the total population in the region.
Soon the three-day referendum was over.
In a luxurious conference room in the inner city of Anping Royal City of the Dongning Kingdom, five members of the Dongning royal family led by King Zheng Jizong and Zheng Jixing, the prince of the auxiliary state, and Gao Jingfei, the future county lord, as well as nine cabinet ministers and one commander of Jinyiwei, a group of high-ranking figures of the Dongning Kingdom gathered here to wait for the final result.
Cheng Yishan, the commander of Jinyiwei, controlled the equipment in the conference room and monitored the referendum process by remotely and Jinyiwei's manpower in Seba.
The reason why they are gathered here is because the palace outside the Anping King City of the Dongning Kingdom, which is used for the offices of the cabinet, the six ministries, the Jiuqing and the Dadu Governor's Mansion, has not yet been built, even if the Dongning side has inherited the bloodline of the Xia Kingdom's infrastructure madness, it is still only a foundation. After all, the time is too short, and it has only been a week since the kingdom was restored.
It is worth mentioning that although the construction plan of the outer dynasty of the Anping royal city is mainly based on the three major halls, it is not based on the three major halls of the outer dynasty in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty and the two capitals as the original central axis palace building, but the layout of one middle and two sides.
The reason for this design is that it can reduce the cost of the project, and secondly, as a Ming domain, it is not too extravagant and high-profile, after all, the original Zheng Acropolis, the inner city of the royal city, has exceeded the construction area and floor area of all palaces in the world.
Now that the inner city and the outer city are combined, the total area of the Dongning Royal Palace has reached 29 square kilometers, which is an exaggeration, and it is almost less than the area of a single urban area that is a little smaller than some prefecture-level cities in Middle Earth.
You must know that the Yanjing Forbidden City covers an area of only 720,000 square meters, that is, 0.72 square kilometers.
Although there is still a lot of open space between the inner city and the outer city, which will be built into the Imperial Road, the Royal Forest Garden and the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the construction area will not be less than 3 million square meters, which is equivalent to the area of the four Yanjing Forbidden Cities.
It's not that the Zheng family has to build such a large-scale palace in such an extravagant way, but as a small country, if you want to make a name for yourself in the world, then you must at least have some superhuman characteristics to be famous, This is the behavior of the chiefs of the oil kingdom to build wonders and the behavior of the Bo Ni royal family to show off their wealth, although there is a feeling of nouveau riche, but it is also worth learning the good aspects of the Zheng family.
According to the design, the Anping Royal City is also divided into two parts, the inner palace and the outer court, the inner palace is where the original Zheng Acropolis is located, divided into the "Chang'an Palace" middle palace part where the king and his wife live, the east side is the "Yongle Palace" part of the crown prince's east palace, the west side is the "Qingning Palace" part where Zheng Jixing, the auxiliary prince, lives, and the "Yingfu Palace" used for reception and the "Shengshou Palace" where the Taimiao is located on the north side. The names of these palaces mean "peace and joy" and "longevity and longevity".
The three major halls of the outer court are named "Chengming Palace", and although there is only one palace, the scale of the building is larger than the five palaces of the inner palace.
There are three main halls in Chengming Palace, the main hall is the Suzaku Palace, the east hall is the Wenhua Palace, and the west hall is the Wuying Palace. The name in this also indicates that the Dongning Kingdom is inherited from the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and the Vermilion Bird represents the fire and the south, which also corresponds to the geographical location of the Ming Huode and Dongning.
Because the Kingdom of Dongning adopted the system of civil and military division, and tried to customize the bureaucratic system as simple and practical as possible, the title of the prime minister and vice prime minister of Dongning was only one kind of Wenhuadian scholar, and the other cabinet ministers were only cabinet auxiliary ministers, and there was no complex title of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuyingdian, Dongge and other scholars in the Ming and Jin dynasties.
And the Zheng family is not as revered as the Song, Ming and Jin dynasties, the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall are on the same level, and the status is also equal, the former is the office location of several departments involved in politics, economy, and culture in the cabinet and the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.
The latter Wuying Hall is the office location of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Jiuqing Department and several other departments involved in military, science, industry and agriculture.
In addition to the Chengming Palace, which is commonly known as the "Jinluan Palace", there are not too many ancillary buildings in the three major halls, and there are many affiliated palaces and courtyards in the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace.
The place where everyone is now is the courtyard where Zheng Jizong and his wife, who were renamed Chang'an Palace, are located, that is, a side hall in the middle palace of the five palaces of the inner palace.
Because the buildings in the Zheng Acropolis were originally in the form of classical mansions, they did not need to be rebuilt to fully conform to the shape of the palace, and now they are just divided into five Acropolis, and there is basically no change.
After the results of the Shiba referendum were announced, Cheng Yishan also got the news at the same time, and a rare look of excitement appeared on his face that usually did not show joy and anger, and said to Zheng Jizong and Mao Zhisheng:
"The king, the prime minister, the results are in!"
Because Zheng Jizong inherited the throne of the Ming Domain, his subjects could be called "Great King" and "Your Majesty" verbally, and in official documents, they would be called "vassal lords", "lords of the country" or "kings of Yanping" in Dongning.
The Prime Minister, on the other hand, is different from the prime minister of other countries, and is generally referred to as the prime minister, or the first assistant, in Dongning, but obviously the prime minister is more preferential. Naturally, the Deputy Prime Minister is called the "Deputy Prime Minister" and the "Deputy Minister".
Although Zheng Jizong expected it in his heart, he still asked eagerly: "What is the result?" ”
"In the end, although some people were mobilized to join the vote, these negative votes made our support rate drop a little, and according to the final statistics, the votes in favor of joining my Dongning Kingdom still reached 80.67%!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
What does 80% of the approval rating mean? It means that their Dongning Kingdom has almost won the support of the whole people in the Seba region!
Because their eighty percent support rate is not at all, but many of those who voted against it were voted by benefits or threats.
Prime Minister Mao Zhisheng smiled and immediately proposed:
"Your Majesty, there will be a lot of dreams at night, we should strike while the iron is hot and officially take Shiba into our hands!"
Zheng Jizong nodded in agreement:
"What the prime minister said is right, this matter will be handed over to the deputy minister and Zuo Qing, and the prime minister will continue to preside over the plans in several other directions!"
"Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Mao Zhisheng, Vice Minister Wu Dongjing, and Honglu Temple Secretary Zuo Jialiang, the foreign minister, all responded to the order.
