Chapter 13 The Emperor's Parade Begins
"Then, it should have started?" In a courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, a handsome man put down the cloth and silk thread in his hand, looked at the location of the palace castle, and said inexplicably.
For the Lion Heart Kingdom in recent years, the most grand thing every year is not the annual carnival day or the birthday of the emperor and the queen, but Augustus VI's new outfit parade.
At the beginning of August every year, it is the day when Augustus shows his new clothes to the people of the whole country, and receives praise and envy from everyone.
In fact, this was all the proposal of Duke Kees, and Augustus VI, who had always "loved" new clothes, readily agreed.
"Oh, it's so beautiful, Your Majesty, you will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention this time. It should not be the focus of the world's most attention." The two liars pretended to help the emperor wear clothes that did not exist at all, while setting off the air behind the emperor, as if to protect the long back swing from being dragged to the ground and dirty.
"Really?" Augustus VI touched the cuff that did not exist at all.
"Of course, my majesty." The liar then fooled: "The material in this dough is like spider silk, not even thinner and lighter than spider silk. It is like wearing it without clothes, which is its advantage."
Then he walked out of the house against the backdrop of two liars.
At this moment, the gorgeous open-air carriages were prepared outside, and countless princes and ministers waiting for them.
Walking on the bench and walking onto the carriage, Augustus VI spread his arms as if he wanted to embrace the entire sky, his chin slightly raised, looking proud.
My chin without a trace of stubble was carefully glowing in the sun.
"Everyone, how do you think of my clothes? By the way, this clothes can only be seen by the most competent and loyal people in the country." The emperor looked arrogant and his voice resounded throughout the square.
They had heard of it before, or even received a warning, and then they naturally knew what to say.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
"Your Majesty's light is like the sun in the sky! It's already making me unable to look directly!"
"Come and tell me, that's all the miracles!"
"I can no longer describe its gorgeousness, exquisiteness, beauty and dignity in words, which are not enough to describe this holy object!"
"nice!"
Among the ministers, there are always a few uneducated ones.
The emperor's heart was filled with sadness. Except for those ministers who did not speak, the ones who spoke in praise actually exceeded four-fifths of all ministers!
How compliments they are to themselves now, and maybe how cruel they will be when they fall from the throne in the future.
Having a mocking thought, Augustus VI suddenly pointed at the crowd: "Curry, tell me, where is this dress better?"
Curry was one of the few fence-bearers in the court, and he was timid in his daily life. His ancestors were dukes and lords who made great achievements in military achievements for the founding emperor. However, in his generation, after continuous relegation and inheritance, he was now just a small viscount.
It doesn't even have the value of being bribed by the Duke.
Curry raised his head in fear and looked at the naked Augustus VI and said to himself: "I'm not stupid either." Curry thought: "This is probably because I don't deserve the current title and official position. This is really funny, but I must not let others see it!" So he praised the fabric that he could not see at all, and at the same time promised that he had never seen such beautiful colors and clever patterns.
"This country is now terrible." Augustus VI was full of joy and actually disappointed, and asked Curry to retreat, looking at the ministers with different thoughts below.
Duke Kees did not come today because he was in a state of ill health.
Everyone knows why Count Roy did not come.
The queen didn't come, no reason.
"Let's go." Augustus VI waved his hand, and all the soldiers prepared their etiquette and set off in a mighty manner.
Along the way, the guards and maids in the palace were all shocked when they saw the emperor for the first time, but after being whispered by the people around them, they all started to salute with strange expressions, and then shouted that His Majesty's clothes were so beautiful.
At the same time, all the people of the Lion Heart Kingdom stood on both sides of the street, preparing to welcome the emperor's arrival. The streets had been cleaned. Although there was still a faint smell, everyone had already gotten used to it and even felt that the air today was particularly sweet.
Ika was in the room. Old Ryan reminded Ika not to run around, and then turned around to tell his youngest son to accompany his sister at home and not to run around. After the couple went to the street to attend the emperor's parade ceremony.
This is also one of their fun every year, to see what kind of weird clothes the emperor will wear to show them this year.
Anyway, in the hearts of all the people, the emperor is undoubtedly the most foolish and incompetent emperor.
Thinking of this, Old Ryan couldn't help but spit on the ground.
"Brother Ryan, you are here. Come here quickly. I'll take you a good place!" Old Ryan's comrade saw him from a distance and quickly raised his hands and shouted.
Crowding through the crowd, Old Ryan came to his comrades.
Suddenly, Old Ryan had a piece of straw paper in his hand.
"Hmm? What is this?" Old Ryan asked curiously. He didn't know what it was written, of course he didn't know what it was written: "But you ask me to guess which newly opened brothel is promoting you as a regular customer?"
After saying that, Old Ryan and his comrades quietly climbed their hands on each other.
Twist ~
"hiss"
Take a few breaths of cold air.
"Frequently?"
Then there was a storm in the crowd.
At the same time, this piece of paper began to appear among the crowd. After reading the literate, the literate one was shocked but did not dare to speak. The illiterate one was put in his pocket and prepared to take it home to wipe his butt. After all, not everyone could use draft paper to wipe his butt.
I don't know who threw it here, and it doesn't matter anymore.
His Majesty's car frame walked out of the palace, with the front and back full of ministers and maids, and the ministers were so gloriously walking behind with their heads raised and their chests raised.
People on both sides stretched their necks and looked forward to it, just waiting for their praise or something to be heard by His Majesty, and the Independent will throw the bread to him.
Although it is stupid, lies can be exchanged for bread, so why not?
But when they really saw Augustus VI, those words of praise instantly stuck in their throats, their faces flushed like roosters who had been choking their necks.
"His Majesty the Emperor has nothing to wear? I must be dazzled."
This is what everyone thinks at the moment.
"You stupid, dirty people, His Majesty the Emperor is wearing the most gorgeous clothes in this world, and only the stupidest and most unfaithful people cannot see it!" At this time, the two liars who followed the inner ministers suddenly shouted loudly.
As soon as the words were finished, people understood.
Who said that His Majesty the Emperor was not wearing clothes? That was because we were too stupid to see it. Otherwise, what were the adults following behind holding in the hands of?
For a moment, everyone began to praise the emperor's beautiful clothes.
"That's so good! It's even better than the bride's clothes!"
"I have never seen such a beautiful dress in my life!"
"Your Majesty, look at me!"
“It’s even more wonderful than the soft white bread!”
The uneducated civilians tried all kinds of metaphors to praise the clothes that did not exist at all.
The black bread was also thrown into the crowd as it wished.
For a moment, the pain of "Oh my head" began to sound one after another.
Pain and happiness.
The crowd also included Old Ryan and his comrades-in-arms. He shouted at the top of his voice. Old Ryan pulled his comrades and whispered: "This is too crazy. His Majesty the Emperor has nothing to wear!"
"Do you think there is a difference between whether our Majesty wears clothes or not? No matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they are not as attractive as black bread that hurts teeth." The comrade shook his head and said, "But from today on Augustus, we are going back."
"What? No, don't say it, let me guess"
The comrade suddenly turned dark: "Stop talking, I guess you are a black bread! Don't talk to me, I'll tell you what is written on this piece of paper."
When he walked to the corner, his comrades looked around and saw that there was no one. Then he took out the straw paper that was already in his hand, soaked in sweat, and took a long breath and slowly said:
[I, Augustus VI, today I want to tell you a story: Since the Augustus family unified the Western Region 210 years ago, the Lion Heart Kingdom has opened a period of peace for a hundred years. During this period, everyone is rich and foreign enemies occasionally invaded. However, under the iron-hoofed spear of the Lion Heart Kingdom, it is like hitting a stone with an egg without returning. However, since His Majesty Augustus V ascended the throne, the Kiss family relied on the trust of the emperor, formed cliques for personal gain, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, and made the people of the country live in poverty. In my life, the usurper, Kiss Marlow, had even expanded his power desire, abolished the rule, and obsolete the emperor, and falsely passed on the king.
The life, forced taxes, led to the government becoming a muddy water, the people were living in poverty, and the territory captured by the ancestors was about to be destroyed! I know that I was very guilty, but the country could not collapse after all, and the country could not be without a king for a day. Now it is time to stand up. The people of the Lion Heart Kingdom, Augustus VI, from today on, I will not be silent anymore. I am willing to lead with my sinful body. Now, the people of the Lion Heart Kingdom, if you really love this country, please take up the weapons in your hands and wash the country that has been crippled with me, okay?]
"Sister Ika, it's so lively outside. Can I go out and have a look? I promise not to run around and beg you!"
