When the news that Ming was about to confer the title of Crown Prince spread throughout the world, the eyes of the entire world immediately turned to this ancient Eastern Empire.
As everyone knew, as the world's longest surviving country, it was an ancient civilization that once stood side by side with ancient Rome. She continued to exist in the eyes of the countries of Taixi until now, and the powerful countries that once ruled the world with her had long since turned into dust. She was the only one who had experienced a long period of baptism and destruction, but instead welcomed glory! Even though the Ming Dynasty was declining, the British Empire was still at its peak. However, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who had experienced thousands of years of ups and downs and repeatedly watched the rise and fall of other countries, did not care. They believed that these countries were like the countless people who had risen and fallen. The Ming Dynasty would still have the last laugh.
Therefore, when the overlord of the East, the pioneer of modern civilization, was about to welcome its new generation of heir apparent, all countries in the world paid great attention to it. After receiving the news, they began to confirm the number of visitors. Of course, in order not to lose face in front of the noble Great Tomorrow, the identity of the representatives and the size of the envoy team could not be too shabby.
For example, Britain sent the second prince of the Empire," Senezer Ei Britania ", along with a team of more than a hundred professionals!
It must be said that this prince was not ordinary. Among the many sons of the super stallion Charles, Schneizer was perfect in both appearance and intelligence! At such a young age, he had already displayed amazing political skills and social skills, and was highly regarded by most of the nobles in the Empire. There were even rumors that a few archdukes in the country had secretly persuaded the Emperor to make him the crown prince. Although the Emperor's attitude was still unclear, it could be seen that most people still supported the Second Prince. And for the most outstanding prince of the empire to attend the coronation ceremony of Great Ming, as a newly established superpower, Britain was giving enough face to this old senior of Great Ming…
Just as the other countries were not willing to fall behind and were choosing their participants as quickly as possible to prepare to go to the Ming Dynasty to attend the ceremony, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
The 24th year of Yongchang, the 2000th year of the Imperial Calendar, the 26th day of the lunar winter month, the winter solstice!
Capital, Forbidden City, Imperial Palace.
It was the place where the Great Ming Federation held its court meeting, and also the place where the country's ceremonies and ceremonies were held! Today, the majestic Imperial Palace Hall welcomed another grand ceremony. The three civil officials, nine ministers, cabinet ministers, eight ministers of the Supreme Court, Sikong and the Imperial Censorate, all the officials of the Eastern and Western Chambers, the generals who were high-ranking officers with the title of general, the nobles who were counts and above, and the various countries 'consular offices were all present.
In addition to the above personnel, envoys from various countries and major media outlets around the world were also invited. Not to mention Britain, the special envoy of the European Union was the deputy speaker of the Central Parliament, the special envoy of Japan was the Chief Cabinet Secretary Atsuki Sawazaki, the Australia Federation and the Arab League also sent their second-in-command figures or central leaders to attend the ceremony. There were also many well-known media reporters from all over the world. The Imperial Palace and the hundreds of meters wide hall between the left and right doors were almost packed.
As time slowly passed, the time for the ceremony to begin was getting closer and closer. The envoys of the various countries had been led into the Imperial Palace to take their seats. The civil officials, councilors, and military officials with sufficient status and status had all entered the palace and taken their seats. The remaining officials and dignitaries with insufficient status took their seats in the court between the Imperial Palace, the middle left door, and the right door. Dozens of large screens were broadcasting the progress of the ceremony in the Imperial Palace.
The entire ceremony would be broadcasted live around the world. After all, this ceremony was a rare one in decades. Among the six remaining countries in the world, only the Ming Federation, Holy Britannia, and Japan still had royal families. However, the British Empire had no tradition of conferring a crown prince. Every generation of the throne was bloody. A few decades ago, a large-scale rebellion broke out, which was called the "Blood Emblem" incident. Japan's royal family was a virtual lord in name only, and there was no prince at the moment, so naturally, there was no crown prince. Therefore, this ceremony was a rare grand ceremony that attracted hundreds of media outlets around the world to broadcast live.
Soon, the auspicious time was about to arrive. Everyone was already in their positions. Hundreds of chairs were placed in the entire Imperial Palace. The officials, generals, and dignitaries were seated on the left and right. The envoys of various countries were also seated on one side. In the center of the hall, there was a passage that could allow several people to walk side by side.
Just as everyone was concentrating, a eunuch appeared at the side door and shouted in front of everyone," The emperor has arrived!”
In an instant, everyone in the hall stood up. Then, Zhu Jianyi, who was wearing the crown of the emperor, appeared at the side door with Empress Wang, who was wearing a phoenix crown and shawl. They walked into the hall and sat on the dragon chair. Following them were the cabinet ministers, the ministers of the six departments, and the general. They stood under the green platform and were the leaders of the officials. They bowed to the emperor and the empress before taking their seats.
Gao Hai took a step forward from behind Tian Zi and shouted,""The…the eldest son of the royal family, please come to the palace."
Instantly, everyone's eyes lit up. The main character had appeared! Under the watchful eyes of the people in the hall, Zhu Jingkun wore a much smaller royal robe. The black robe was embroidered with nine chapters, such as mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects. He wore a nine-streamer crown on his head. Under the guidance of the attendants, he walked step by step into the hall and stood at the foot of the steps.
Gao Hai, who was standing on the high platform, expressionlessly opened a scroll and shouted,""Zhu Jingkun, the eldest son of the royal family, accepts the summons!"
Zhu Jingkun suppressed the excitement in his heart, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a clear childish voice,""Your son accepts the summons!"
Gao Hai read aloud,"The Emperor of Heaven's Will has issued an edict: The establishment of the heir, respect for the foundation of the country, so inherit the ancestral temple, keep the utensils, so inherit the culture, inherit the industry, respect the precepts of the previous generation, at that time only code, more than my ancestors... I ask you, Zhu Jingkun, the eldest son of the emperor, to descend the spirit, inherit the sage and produce virtue, teach you to deeply accumulate the zither, and blow the bronze with the wind and leaves... Since the dawn of time, the emperor has stopped shining, shaking the empty palace, the virtue of the earth can be respected, the people and gods can belong to you, and the laws and regulations can be examined, and the badges can be carried. Therefore, you are named Crown Prince. Go and worship! There is a country and a family, a monarch and a father, both of which are bound to the world. What good is not virtuous, what evil is not crafty, what behavior is not right, what respect is not punishment. Don't be arrogant in your position, and don't be unwilling to listen to your advice. You should show your virtue and think about your long-term plan. How can you not be careful when you are with me and carry forward my good fortune? Announce it to the world so that everyone knows."
After reading the Emperor's edict, Zhu Jingkun expressed that he didn't understand it at all. However, he didn't need to understand it. When the damn eunuch on the high platform shut up, he immediately bowed and said,"Your son obeys!"
Immediately after, Wang Weixin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up and stepped out of the queue. He picked up the golden book from the tray in the hands of the attendant behind him and solemnly announced to Zhu Jingkun,"I hereby grant the Crown Prince the authority of the cabinet to lead the world's government affairs. He is allowed to open the Eastern Palace and set up the Eastern Palace Office to participate in government affairs.”
Zhu Jingkun bent down to take the golden book and said,""Yes."
Soon after, the general stepped forward, picked up the Tiger Tally, and solemnly announced to Zhu Jingkun,""The Bureau of Military Affairs has the authority to command the army and horses of the world. I hereby grant the Crown Prince the Tiger Amulet, allowing him to form the Eastern Palace, the Four Prefectures, and the Six Commanders to protect the palace and guard the left and right.”
Zhu Jingkun bowed and took the Tiger Tally.”
Finally, Zhu Jingkun passed the Tiger Tally to the attendant behind him. He tidied up his crown and walked onto the platform to bow to the Emperor and Empress. The emperor stood up and took the Crown Prince Seal from Gao Hai. He solemnly announced,""In the name of the twenty-fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I bestow the crown prince's seal on the eldest son of the crown prince, Zhu Jingkun, and confer Xuan as the crown prince of the Ming Federation, the future twenty-fifth emperor!”
Finally, it had come to this. Zhu Jingkun suppressed the excited thoughts in his heart and raised his hands to receive the Crown Prince's Seal. He replied,"Yes!"
Then, Gao Hai, who had been standing by the side, shouted,""The ceremony is complete!"
Immediately after, the bells and drums began to ring loudly, signifying that the crown prince conferring ceremony had been completed. From this moment onwards, Zhu Jingkun was officially the crown prince of the Chinese Federation, the future twenty-fifth emperor.
