Red Alert 1895: Chapter 721 last supper
The enthronement ceremony was under preparation, and at this time Wang Guorui also had a rare leisure, and then prepared to choose an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony. And at this time, it is rare for him to authorize the work to other subordinates, and he will not ask him unless it is a particularly important matter. At other times, most of the things have been authorized by Wang Guorui to the greatest extent. , and can almost delegate the power to deal with all the things encountered in daily life to his subordinates. At this time, Wang Guorui had already booked a banquet in the relatively best restaurant in the capital, and then contracted it. And this hotel is a restaurant in Dongjiaomin Lane, and no one knows how important this small restaurant will be in the original history.
"Husband, why are you having this family banquet here?" Zheng Hong asked.
The current Zheng Hong is not wearing any military uniform with the rank of lieutenant general, and the current Zheng Hong is completely like a person wearing ordinary casual clothes. He does not look like a senior officer at all, just like a new dynasty Petty bourgeois woman. Although the clothes are relatively "revealing" compared with people of this era, they are much better than those of later generations. At least Chinese women in this era, especially those with a high status, will never have such short sleeves that reveal the skin of their arms.
And there are some women behind, but these women all look very beautiful. And these women surrounded a man, and this man was Wang Guorui. At this time, Wang Guorui was not wearing work clothes, and most of these women were wearing ordinary clothes, which were not very dignified as usual when they were working, and they looked like strangers were not allowed to enter.
However, this group of people still attracted the attention of many people. After all, it is definitely not ordinary people who can be surrounded by so many beautiful women. Although Wang Guorui didn't have any guards around him. But no one knows that there are snipers staring at some distances at any time, if anyone dares to approach and attack casually. The sniper will shoot without hesitation. In addition, there are definitely many agents nearby watching, but they are only wearing civilian clothes. Not wearing formal work attire. There are a lot of people around here secretly monitoring, so there will be no assassins.
After all, Wang Guorui is about to hold the so-called enthronement ceremony. At this time, there may be some people who dare not be full of hope to perish to make troubles, so we must be careful. Since ancient times, there has never been a time when the Ding Revolution was completely bloodless, even the British Glorious Revolution, which was said to be bloodless. Although it was bloodless on the surface, it is unknown how much blood was left behind. Those true heroes will never be remembered by history. This may be the tragedy of history. A famous hero was created with the lives of countless unsung heroes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here for a family dinner today!" Wang Guorui said.
Kang Tongwei immediately asked: "Family dinner? Don't we often eat it?"
"It's different this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a family banquet even if I want to!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui led everyone into this small restaurant near Dongjiaomin Lane. Immediately, some foreigners came over and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor... Oh, Mr. Wang, please come in!"
The doorman at the door obviously knew Wang Guorui's identity, and almost said His Majesty, but Wang Guorui signaled them all soon. He immediately changed his address. And this doorman is a Westerner, of course he knows who the person who booked the restaurant this time is.
"Husband, this restaurant looks good. But why do you come to this western restaurant?" Kang Tongwei asked again.
"It's nothing, it's just an obsession in my heart!" Wang Guorui laughed.
Wang Guorui knew the original history of this restaurant. He had eaten at this restaurant once in his later generations. At that time, Wang Guorui had heard the waiter of that restaurant introduce in detail. Three star hotel. But that three-star hotel represented half of China's modern history.
"This restaurant can be said to have witnessed China's decline to revival, so I can come to eat again after washing up." Wang Guorui said with some emotion.
"What is this? Why is my husband so out of tune?" Zheng Hong thought strangely.
This small restaurant with only four floors looks like it can be said to be one of the best restaurants in Beijing at this time, and he is a restaurant run by an Englishman. If Wang Guorui's memory is not bad in later generations. Originally, in the past few years, six countries will invest in it, and then some floors will be added again. Became the Liuguo Hotel. And Liuguo Hotel from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Then to the founding of New China. And it has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past few decades, and many historical events have been experienced in this hotel, so it can be regarded as the best witness from China's decline to its peak.
Wang Guorui has traveled to this era. Ever since he saw this "small" restaurant in Dongjiaomin Lane, he remembered the time when he was eating at the Liuguo Hotel in later generations. At that time, it had been renamed Huafeng Hotel. There, I lamented the decline of modern China, saying that if it is possible to cross, it must change the fate of China. And now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to end history here, and here I can be regarded as fulfilling the complaints I made in this restaurant back then.
"Okay, everyone sit down wherever you want, this time is a family banquet, there are no rules!" Wang Guorui said.
But even though Wang Guorui said so, these women didn't dare to act recklessly. Because Wang Guorui could be more casual when he was not the emperor before, but now Wang Guorui will officially become the emperor in a short time, so their concubines dare not mess around.
"Don't worry, just sit down casually!" Wang Guorui said.
Everyone just sat down casually, and besides Zheng Hong and Kang Tongwei, there were other women attending the family banquet this time. For example, Liu Xue, Minister of the Ministry of Labor, Chen Lin, Director of the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee, and even Li Li Lisha, and Yu Geng's two daughters Yu Deling and Yu Rongling also came. This meaning is actually very obvious, that is to say, these loli who have just grown into seventeen or eighteen years old in the future will also be brought into the harem by Wang Guorui in a short time. But at this time, no one dared to say anything, let alone their father had no opinion, so not only would others not have any opinion, but they would even envy them. As for the other women, namely Tanya and Natasha, although these two women are here, they are different from everyone's rules and regulations. Instead, they look casual and don't take it seriously.
As for Wang Guorui's other women, Isadora Duncan did not come, and Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands did not come, because Isadora Duncan is only a lover and cannot be regarded as a member of her own family. Strictly speaking, it was just a "plaything" raised by Wang Guorui. Whether in China or in the West, the status of this kind of actress is not too high. Maybe a lot of dignitaries will spend a lot of money to support these actors, but in this era, there are not many people who are really willing to marry. Maybe decades later, many rich people would be proud to marry a female star, but this is not the case in this era. The richer and more prestigious a person is, the more taboo it is to marry an actor. Wang Guorui couldn't change this situation in a short time, not to mention that Isadora Duncan's goal was only a dancer, and Wang Guorui just kept her. Anyway, Isadora Duncan has her own bodyguards by her side, and no one in the world dares to offend the emperor for a so-called actress, so Wang Guorui is not afraid of any cuckold crisis.
As for Wilhelmina, because she is the Queen of the Netherlands, it is naturally impossible to bring her here. Because Wilhelmina and these women are not "family", so bringing her to this family dinner is simply asking for trouble.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to your help these years, I was able to achieve what I am today. As the saying goes, husband and wife are one, without your help, I might not be where I am today. And in a few days, maybe we will all have a family For the country, I am afraid that there will be no real family banquets in the future. The future royal family, the so-called selflessness of the family, everything will be related to politics, so it will be difficult to have a simple family banquet in the future. So I come here this time Inviting everyone~www.mtlnovel.com~ I hope everyone can cherish the present and enjoy this last family banquet. I am afraid that if you want a family banquet in the future, it will be really difficult, very difficult! Today is the last time for everyone The last banquet I had together as an ordinary family member may be a state banquet in the future. Once again, as a husband, I would like to toast to all the ladies and thank you for your assistance and help." Wang Guorui Take the initiative to say.
"Well, do it!" Wang Guorui said.
Everyone clinked wine glasses together, which was the beginning of this family banquet, and this next one may really be the last family banquet. When Wang Guorui becomes the emperor, all his actions will be related to politics, and it will be even more difficult to have a simple family banquet. As the emperor of the country, it is difficult to have personal relationships. Even if every move is in line with national interests, it must be in line with national policies. Even if it is called a constitutional monarchy, it may not be much easier. They don't have much power, but they have to bear a lot of responsibility for state propaganda. This is also the price. If you enjoy the life of abundance for generations, you must pay the price. Therefore, Wang Guorui is very clear that if he wants to reach that position, even if his power is getting smaller and smaller in the end, the price of living comfortably for generations is that he will become less free.
So we must cherish everything in front of us, and then everyone can truly settle down. (To be continued.)
