Our island owner is always playing dead

Under the arrangement of the envoys from the Aodonglan Empire, everyone left the ship and disembarked one after another. Without stopping too much, they got into the car directly and headed for the capital Chapkinson.

Chapkinson is not very far from Chuaner Port, and it takes half a day to arrive.

They arrived at the capital just in time for the day before the ceremony.

Chapkinson is a big city, so there are a lot of people.But at this time the situation seems somewhat contradictory.The commoners were still wearing mourning clothes to mourn the old king, but the city was already dressed up, flowers were blooming, and ribbons were fluttering.

It is said that this is the tradition of Aodonglan. The common people have to wear mourning clothes until the moment when the new king officially succeeds to the throne, and then put on new clothes to celebrate.

Ye Limo felt that such an approach was a bit split, and it was too embarrassing to go from great sadness to great joy all at once.Fortunately, they are foreign envoys and do not need to abide by such strange customs and regulations.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at Chapkinson.

At this time, Prince Gather should be nervously preparing for the enthronement ceremony.However, he seemed to show the importance he attached to Ye Limo, and even took time to meet him in the palace.

Since gaining the attention of the old king, Prince Gather didn't care about the identity of a prince like before. At least, it's quite polite to put on a pretense.

Seeing Prince Jiaser, Ye Limo naturally expressed his sorrow and regret for the old king to him first, and then advised Prince Jiaser not to be sad. In fact, Ye Limo only met the old king a few times and didn't say anything. A few words.

Prince Gather also looked very thin, as if he was really saddened by his father's death.

Well, as expected, this Prince Gather is a showman.Ye Limo felt that he might wish his father would die sooner in his heart.

After going to the palace to say hello, Ye Limo took his people to the post house.

Most of the royal capitals have post houses. If this is the case, the post houses can't accommodate so many envoys, and those very tall hotels in the city will also be confiscated as places to entertain envoys.

Perhaps Prince Gather really valued Ye Limo, so the residence arranged for them was not bad. Not only was the location spacious and the environment beautiful, but it was also not far from the palace. It was very convenient to go to the palace no matter what time of day it was.

After moving in, the neighbor next door sent someone to say hello, and Ye Limo found out that he lived next door to Duke Sherick.

The two have also cooperated many times. Although the status of the Duke of Sherick is not as good as that of a king, the Sherick family he controls has a huge business, so his status is very detached.

The two sides greeted each other, and Duke Sherick said with a smile: "Your Majesty, tonight, His Royal Highness Prince Gather may not have time to entertain us. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner?"

Ye Limo nodded: "I am very honored to accept your invitation, Mr. Duke."

Duke Sherick has personally been to Hot Island several times. With the strengthening of cooperation, the two have not seen each other for a long time, and they just met to catch up.

During dinner, Duke Sherick invited Ye Limo to his residence and asked the chef he brought to cook some newly researched dishes for Ye Limo.

During the dinner, after the two exchanged some insignificant matters, Duke Sherick asked: "Your Majesty, do you know that Prince Gather's elder brother, Prince Onixia, has been expelled from the palace and sent to After crossing the northern border of Aodonglan, you will never be able to return to the royal capital?"

Ye Limo really didn't know about this matter, and asked: "Is there another matter? I just arrived, and I haven't heard any rumors."

Duke Sherick nodded: "Yes, he didn't even attend the funeral of His Majesty the old king, and was directly escorted to the north by the old king's personal guards."

These things should be quite secretive, otherwise it is impossible for the spies I planted not to know.

For Prince Onixia, the biggest competitor, Ye Limo had already guessed that Prince Gather would not let him go easily.It's just that Ye Limo thought that people would put this brother under house arrest somewhere, so that he wouldn't show his face at the canonization ceremony to spoil the atmosphere.Unexpectedly, Prince Gather had already sent him to the north.

Ye Limo said: "There must be something hidden in it. Prince Onixia was once the favorite prince of His Majesty the old king. Prince Gather would not be ignorant of this. Since Prince Gather did this, something must have happened that is unacceptable thing?"

Duke Sherick nodded: "I guessed the same way."

The two of them seemed to be chatting casually. Ye Limo didn't ask Duke Sherick if he knew the inside story, and Duke Sherick didn't mean to say anything.

The two talked about future cooperation, and Duke Sherick also asked about Ye Limo's new story: "My children can't wait. For them, the storybook you wrote is the best storybook. "

Ye Limo corrected with a smile: "Those stories are not my stories, I just sorted them out."

Ye Limo marked all the stories that remembered the author's original name. Although those people are not in this time and space, their works still belong to them.

Duke Sherick didn't dwell on these details, and asked, "I don't know His Majesty the King, when can we write more stories?"

"Come on, I've been trying to find time. Please apologize for being like a kid, I'm too busy after all."

"They can understand you. After all, I, the Duke, are also very busy. As His Majesty, you must be busier than me, the Duke."

The dinner with Duke Sherick was quite pleasant. Duke Sherick is a sociable person, and it is very easy to make people feel very comfortable.Ye Limo also likes to do business with him. He has the attitude of a businessman. When negotiating a deal, he will seriously deal with it. After the deal is concluded, he will keep his promise.Duke Sherick is probably Ye Limo's favorite partner.

After dinner, Ye Limo returned to his residence, had a good night's rest, and woke up the next day for Prince Jiaser's canonization ceremony.

These ambassadors, of course, dressed up to attend.

After the gorgeous carriage brought them into the palace, they waited in the flower hall and the reception room,

Sure enough, I met a lot of acquaintances here. Those who are acquainted greet each other with salutes, and those who are not familiar will get to know each other after mutual introduction.

The arrival of Ye Limo naturally attracted the attention of many people.

It's just that this occasion is not a good time to build relationships. Everyone has to wait until the evening banquet and dance.

Before the ceremony started, all the envoys were seated, and the seats of Ye Limo and others were still very close to the king's throne.

Just like the current China, in this world, on formal occasions, the arrangement of the guests' positions is extremely particular.In addition to status, the relationship with the host's family is also an indicator.

Today, Ye Limo's position is very close to the throne that Prince Gather will sit on after the ceremony, which surprised many people. They did not expect the new king who is about to assume the throne to attach so much importance to the island.

The location of Ye Limo represents the location of the heat island.

The entire palace was extremely gorgeous, and all the people were solemn and dignified, and they attended in costumes. Many people waited for the start of the ceremony with honored expressions.

Feeling such an atmosphere, Ye Limo couldn't help but think of his canonization ceremony. Compared with this situation, it was too simple. Except for the housekeeper, there were no other officials of ceremony, and no one of high status was present. He simply read Hudson The king's decree, he hastily became the king of the hot island.

When the time came, the high gate was opened, and all eyes were on the gate.

Prince Gather, who was wearing a red coat and black trousers, walked in step by step. He was dressed in a simple attire, which meant that he was still just a prince.

Everyone's eyes followed his steps until he came to the front, facing the highest official.

This kind of king canonization ceremony is somewhat similar to the coronation ceremony of kings around the sixteenth century in Europe, but the meaning is completely different.

The king's coronation ceremony is generally presided over by the archbishop, which has the flavor of the divine right of the king, which represents the power given to the king by God.

But the ceremony officer here is a minister with high morals and high prestige, implying inheritance.What the ceremonial officers mean is to follow the will of the previous king and hand over his powers and obligations as a king to the new king.

Prince Gather arrived at the steps of the throne, and the ceremonial officer began to preside over the ceremony.

Unsurprisingly, it is necessary to praise the former king first, then introduce the identity of the successor, and then praise the successor to show that the successor is eligible for the throne.

Afterwards, there is a long prayer to be recited, and every other paragraph in the middle will be sung by other ceremony officials, which is particularly solemn and solemn with the sound of musical instruments such as the lyre.

It's just that this process is boring, and Ye Limo endured it very hard not to yawn.

Ye Limo also finally understood why those painters were able to record the king's coronation very realistically. Everyone sat in the same position and kept almost the same posture for several hours, and it was indeed possible to finish the painting.

Looking at Prince Gather standing in the middle, he seemed to be able to hold on, perhaps it was the crown and throne in front of him that gave him the strength to persevere.

Finally at the end, the ceremonial officer stopped saying the prayers, the music was loud, and the most important part finally came.

A ceremony officer first tied a red cloak embroidered with golden patterns on Prince Gather, another ceremony officer presented him with a scepter, and finally the officiant officer put the crown on him.

The ceremonial officers backed away, keeping their heads down and their eyes lowered, to show their respect to the new king. Prince Gather would be King Gather from now on.

He stepped forward, kissed the back of the throne chair, and sat down on the throne.

All the people present stood up and saluted the new king.

It is also a relief for everyone to be able to stand up after such a set of procedures.

After speaking a few words, Prince Gather invited everyone to a banquet next door, and accompanied by his ministers, he had to go outside to show his face in front of the subjects before returning to entertain the guests.
