Chapter 264 Enthronement Ceremony, 3 Government Orders
All the people who should come have come, and the enthronement ceremony is about to officially begin.
It was Su Yuan's opinion that the ceremony was scheduled to be held on Central Avenue.He didn't want to find a closed place where a group of civil and military officials would bow down to him.
He wanted to let the common people in the capital witness this scene with their own eyes on the street, which would be much more meaningful.
Originally, Lu Wuyou felt that this would be risky, but after thinking about it, the strength of the Bei'an army really had nothing to worry about.
What's more, the common people were very excited about this matter. Even since midnight last night, many common people came out with bench horses to sit, just to grab a good seat to watch the ceremony.
Not only the people in the capital city, but people from some surrounding towns also came to participate after hearing about the incident.
Some wealthy businessmen spared no expense, hoping to buy a location on the second floor of a shop near the scene in order to obtain a better viewing effect.
In their opinion, these expenses are worthwhile. Many literati have described Su Yuan as a heroic emperor who will only appear once in thousands of generations.The common people directly regarded him as a god and descended to earth.
What is united together is people's confidence in the new dynasty.
It is false for generations to come, but everyone has great confidence in this generation, these hundred years!
People live in the present, not in the future.
Su Yuan is young again, not yet 20 years old... Many smart people think that Su Yuan can live for at least 80 or [-] years, and as long as he lives, the Bei'an Army will be invincible.
So many years of good days are just around the corner, so there is no reason not to praise them.
In addition to local people from other places, there are also many overseas Westerners who gather here.
Although Su Yuan has ruthlessly dealt with the Westerners several times, every time he is justified and "learned from a famous teacher".
No matter what the Xiguo government said, sensible people could see that as long as they did not break the law in Bei'an, they would not be punished or harassed.
Because of this, many high-minded Westerners came here, many of whom are interested in Eastern culture, including scholars and journalists.
Now a Saxon with a big beard and long blond hair was on the second floor of a shop, playing with his camera.
Now the camera has been invented, but the style is still relatively old, and it can only take black and white photos, but it can already record many critical moments.
The bearded Saxon man is named Benjamin, and he is a professional photographer. He came here a few years ago because he was interested in the ancient oriental country and wanted to take some photos.
Later, until the capital was in turmoil and the world changed, he did not leave.
During this period, he certainly saw many Westerners being punished by the Bei'an Army, but instead of being angry, he was very happy.
Because he has long been displeased with those people's misdeeds in the capital, and he even went to the government to report them.But the Dazhou government usually turned a blind eye to the Westerners, and they also fooled his report.
This made Benjamin feel very ashamed, disdain to be with those people, and simply moved out of the good house where the people of the West lived, and lived in a dirty alley by himself.
Later, Su Yuan led the Bei'an Army to the capital and punished all the Westerners who had committed crimes. Benjamin felt bad and admired Su Yuan very much.
In addition, the implementation of a series of new policies later made him more determined. Su Yuan was much better than many hypocritical politicians in the Western Kingdom.
Therefore, he wrote many articles and sent them back, and published them in Saxon and other western countries, some of which caused quite a stir.
Later, some politicians in Western countries were afraid of the infiltration of Eastern ideas, so they simply banned Benjamin and did not allow him to publish any more articles.
It is this kind of behavior that strengthens Benjamin's determination that "the East is the future". He intends to stay here and witness the process of Bei'an from the East to the world.
In the days when Su Yuan came to the throne, how could he miss it, he must record this moment with a camera.
There is not only one photographer like him, there are also some wealthy businessmen who bought cameras and wanted to take pictures.In this way, it may be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
As the sun rises a little bit, people are more and more looking forward to it.
At noon, finally, two rows of Bei'an Guards came out first.
They held the newly improved black muskets of the Academy of Engineering and wore pure black armor, which was indescribably majestic and solemn.
When these guards stood on both sides of the aisle, the surrounding people immediately stepped back, leaving a lot of space.
Then, solemn and magnificent music sounded.
The band entered the stage first, playing ancient tunes, and the heavy drum beats played by oriental classical musical instruments bells and drums were like a heavy blow to the hearts of everyone at the scene, making them all respectful.
Even the children who usually like to play around are affected by the atmosphere at this moment, holding the hands of the adults in the family without saying a word, silently staring at him with wide eyes.
In a scene of tens of thousands of people, it was possible to be silent.Several photographers have recorded this moment with their cameras.
Benjamin also took a photo, and even thought of the name of this photo in his mind, it was called "Waiting for the Emperor".
The magnificent music lasted for a few minutes, from low to high, and then from high to low, as if telling a story.
At this time, the sound of the drum suddenly shook, and the rhythm changed to a long and dense tone.
At this time, someone shouted at the end of the long street: "Holy——to—"
A long car with a height of several feet came slowly from a distance. The body was carved with rare and exotic animals, complete with dragon and phoenix, and the front of the car was pulled by sixteen pure black horses.
The Holy Venerable Su Yuan was sitting on the throne on the car.
He was dressed in black clothes, wearing a crown on his head, his facial features were like jade carvings, his eyes were like flowing fire, and his whole body exuded a faint golden light, which was incomparably noble and majestic!
The moment countless people saw Su Yuan, they all held their breath, they couldn't bear to blink, they just stared blankly at that tall figure.
"My God..."
Even for a professional cameraman like Benjamin, it was the first time he had seen such a person, and even he couldn't help but wonder for a while. Could it be that this oriental emperor is really a god, as the common people say?
"Meet the Holy One! Long live, long live, long live!!!"
Some ordinary people came back to their senses and couldn't help falling to their knees with a plop, with tears in their eyes and shouting in their mouths.
Then everyone was like this, and many people even burst into tears, not knowing why.
This kind of emotion is indescribable, and Su Yuan was also very moved when he saw many people crying for him.
He knew that the emotion was a spontaneous one.When the people feel the care from the leader, they will generate a force from the bottom of their hearts.
This kind of power is hard to describe in words, anyone who has experienced it personally knows what it feels like...
At this moment, it can be said that the monarch and the people have reached the same mind and trust each other.

Adams was also infected at this moment, and his eye sockets were hot and humid.
He recorded this moment with a photo, knowing in his heart that this photo was probably the best photo of a person he had ever taken in his life.
……
The enthronement ceremony didn't have too much complicated content. Su Yuan simply went through the motions and met the common people, and it was considered complete.
Afterwards, a series of government orders were issued.
The first is the country name.
Lu Wuyou suggested that Su Yuan could use his surname as the country name like most emperors.For example, the previous Great Zhou was founded by a person with the surname Zhou, but now it can be changed to "Su".
When Su Yuan heard this, he immediately rejected it. "Su Guo", how awkward it sounds.
Some people also suggested that the name of the country should be determined by the fiefdom. If the title of "King of Zhenbei" inherited by Su Yuan was used, then the name of the country should be "Zhenbei Kingdom".This looks a bit too one-sided.
In the end, it was Su Yuan who made up his mind.
He established himself as the king of Bei'an at the beginning, but now he simply removes the word "Bei" and only uses the word "An".
In addition, the country is located in the east of the world, and the center is in the East China Sea, so we can take another word "East".
He finally named the country "Dong'an."
Dongzi is a geographical symbol, while Anzi has more good meanings.
Safety, stability, peace of mind... If a country can make the common people safe and at ease, it can be regarded as the greatest country.
Dong'an Kingdom sounds ordinary, but Su Yuan likes this simplicity very much.
He didn't want to use a seemingly cool but non-mainstream name as the country's name. Maybe hundreds of years later, children would laugh at him.
Setting the name of the country is the first decree.
After it was issued, the common people were very excited.
When the Bei'an army ruled this place before, they couldn't say that they were from Bei'an, or they could only say that they were from Zhou.Now that the new country is established and the name of the country is determined, they will all be from "Dong'an" in the future.
If you take off your identity as a "Zhouren", you will naturally be excited.
However, this is only the first step.
In the second decree, the Dong'an government announced that it would optimize and change the current script and official Chinese.
This is an important step in Su Yuan's view.The reason why many people have a low level of education nowadays is that they have no money to study, but it is difficult to study.
There are too many words in ancient Chinese characters, and it is not easy to learn.Many ordinary people are already busy with work every day, so they really don't have time to study memory carefully.
So in order for the whole country to enter a civilized society faster, it is necessary to reduce the difficulty of reading from the official level, and optimizing the text is urgent.
Compared with writing, communication is usually more about language.At present, although Mandarin exists, it is only commonly used in some parts of the north.
Mandarin cannot be fluent in the whole of the north, let alone Jiangnan and other places.Each of the eight weeks in the south of the Yangtze River has its own dialects. On the basis of preserving them, it is also a good thing to promote a new set of easy-to-use Mandarin.
These tasks have to be done sooner or later. Su Yuan is not a person who likes to postpone. Since there is a need, let people do it.Anyway, a large number of people are idle now.
As long as writing and language are done well, the efficiency of doing everything else will be doubled.
The third decree is to solicit and collect opinions from the people so as to promote a new type of law.
This matter is also very important, as long as a unified law is enacted, the common people can have a basis to act and know what to do and what not to do.
However, the current laws basically stop at paying debts and killing people.Although it is very simple, it also lacks many details.For example, how to punish abetting homicide, and how to define self-defense?These all need to be normalized.
As soon as the three decrees came out, they immediately caused widespread waves across the country.
Even abroad, the establishment of Dong'an Kingdom and the announcement of the three government decrees made the headlines of all newspapers that day.
