Chapter 519 - Heavenly Father Emperor God gave it to me, who dares to covet it!
1 June 1833, London, Westminster Abbey.
The two grand coronations have reached their climax!
Yes, two coronations, not one.
One was the official coronation of the Queen and King of the United Kingdom β Victoria had already crowned her at Windsor Castle once, but it was not official, it was an interim coronation. Because according to British tradition, the coronation of kings and queens must be solemnly held at Westminster Abbey in London. However, before the official coronation, you can hold a temporary ceremony and inherit the throne. Then choose an "auspicious day" for the Anglican archbishop to solemnly crown the King in Westminster Abbey.
There can be an interval of several months or even longer between enthronement and coronation.
Moreover, according to the secret peace treaty reached between the Great Ming Dynasty and the Queen Victoria authorities, Zhu Xi, the king of Daminglu, and Victoria were in the double holy dynasty, one as king and the other as queen.
So today's coronation of the United Kingdom at Westminster Abbey is the coronation of the queen and the king β in the order of the queen first and the king later, to show that Victoria, who became queen by blood, is higher than Ju Xiyou, who became king by marriage.
The other coronation was the coronation of the emperor and queen of the Indian Empire - this crown was also added by the archbishop of the Anglican Church, but the order changed to the emperor first, the queen last, and there was no double saint in the court, Victoria was not the Empress of India, but the Empress of India.
The reason for this arrangement seems to be that Victoria has suffered a loss, but in fact, the Indian Empire is already a piece of meat under the knife of the Ming Dynasty, and if you really want to chop it, it will be a matter of starting with a knife. So now that Victoria has given up the throne to Zhu Xiyou, she will not suffer as a queen herself, anyway, she is a "cold-blooded good girl" character.
Oh, this cold-blooded is of the subjects she rules, especially the Irish, the Indians. Under her rule, hundreds of thousands of Irish starved to death, and India, who knows how many? And her well-behaved and obedient husband is for her handsome husband, and she is too lazy to manage the country, and after getting married, she happens to be a hand-shaking king, and it makes no difference if she is an empress and a queen.
Zhu Xiyou still cares very much about this title of emperor - the emperor of India is also an emperor!
Although this India is not as big as the Ming Dynasty, it is not small to say that it is not small, and there are millions of square kilometers, and these lands are basically "effective land", suitable for human growth and habitation, suitable for climate and sufficient water resources. Although the Ming Dynasty was large, its "effective territory" was more than 6 million square kilometers before it took the Southern Continent, the Oregon colony and Malaya, which was only more than 2 million square kilometers more than the effective territory of the Indian Empire.
In addition, India has a large population. More than 20,000!
Such a big India, so many Indians, will be respected by Zhu Xiuran in the future. Even if he is respected as the "Son of Heaven" instead of the "First Emperor of India", Zhu Xiyou is quite satisfied.
At this time, the Archbishop of Canterbury, William, dressed in the crown. Howley had already walked up to Zhu Xiyou, who was sitting side by side with Victoria, holding a newly built crown, and was about to put the crown on Zhu Xiyou's head. At this time, Zhu Xiyou, dressed in the uniform of a Western monarch, suddenly stood up. When Archbishop Howley was stunned, he reached out and picked up the heavy crown set with many diamonds and precious stones stolen from India, held it high, and then glared at the distinguished guests from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony, and suddenly shouted loudly, and shouted in Chinese: "God the Father and God have given it to me, and who else dares to covet it!" β
With that, he placed the Indian crown on his head, and then from the Archbishop of Canterbury, William. One of Howley's assistants took a queen crown and put it on the head of his wife, Victoria.
The first coronation of the emperor and queen of India is almost complete here.
The reason for the first coronation was that the couple Zhu Xiyou and Victoria had to go to the capital of the Indian Empire on the most decent battleship of the Royal Navy to be crowned again.
The coronation in India was much more lively than the one in England, where only the Archbishop of the Anglican Church presided over the coronation, while the coronation in India was attended by all sects and religions.
Just when Zhu Xiuran was crowning himself and crowning his wife Victoria, Zhuge Weijiu, who came all the way to watch the ceremony, was breaking his fingers and introducing to the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, Zhuge Weidao, how lively the coronation ceremony to be held in India would be!
At that time, it will be lively, and there are four families of the Episcopal Church, the Roman Universal Church, the Rakshasa Oriental Orthodox Church, and our Ming God Worship Society. The Buddha's family is the Great Lama of the Snow Region, the presiding officer of Nalanda Temple, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Putian, and the Dharma master of Honganji Temple in Japan. The Taoist lineage is the true person of the Quanzhen Sect and the Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect. The Celestial Sect was sent by the Caliphate of the Arab Empire, and the Sikhs were their own guru. Of course, the coronation of India is indispensable to the high priests of the great temples of Hinduism! β
Hearing so many font sizes, Zhuge Weidao felt a little dizzy, and said with a smile: "Ouch, there are more than a dozen of them, and it's almost like a martial arts conference." β
"What martial arts conference?" Zhuge Wei hadn't seen martial arts for a long time, but he didn't delve into it, he just stroked his white beard and smiled, "What I'm talking about are all big sects, and there are many small sects I haven't said yet!" If you count them all, there are dozens. β
"So much? Is it necessary? β
"Of course!" Zhuge Wei smiled for a long time, "As much as possible, we must engage in one country and one religion. Even if they can't do it, they should try their best to let these sects win some princely states in India and become the state religion. Teaching is different, not conspiring with each other! β
"I see," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Great military division, it is right to give more state religion to Indians, but religion alone may not be enough, we still have to work language and culture, and we can't let them use English as the lingua franca." β
"What's that for? Urdu? Zhuge asked for a long time.
"It's not good," Zhuge pondered, "Urdu is a Persian dialect and there are quite a lot of people who know it, so it's too easy to form a common language." β
"What's that for?" Zhuge thought for a long time, "In Chinese? β
Zhuge Weidao smiled: "Why don't you try to restore Sanskrit?" It sounds quite annoying, and it is not easy for ordinary people to learn, so it is not easy for the Indian Empire to form a unified language. I think. Those princely vassal states will definitely support it, and they don't want India to become a unified country in the future, right? β
As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao glanced at Zhu Xiyou, who had already put on the crown and was giving a speechβthis guy's complexion looked better, and he was very excited, looking like he was ready to toss around in India.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhuge Weijiu again: "Great military division, I think that sooner or later, this Indian empire will not be able to do it, we must arrange a future for India to be scattered into dozens of countries!" β
"Will it be able to continue?" Zhuge frowned for a long time, "Why?" β
Zhuge lowered his voice and said: "World War II"
