Kant thought about it carefully: After a celebration was held in the main city to celebrate the triumphant return of the expedition team. My own birthday is the second National Assembly within this year.
Kant picked up the seal on the side and rubbed his fingers on its surface. It was engraved with the same golden lion as the national emblem.
After thinking for a while, Kant decided to announce the establishment of the Calradia Empire at tomorrow's celebration.
Thinking of this, Kant rummaged through the constitutional documents submitted by the Ministry of Justice a few days ago.
Read it carefully.
This constitution was formulated by Kant in consultation with all ministers serving in the court.
It defines the centralized government of the Calradian Empire.
It also lists in detail the organizational principles and powers of state agencies, and the basic rights and tasks of imperial citizens.
The official ranks and divisions of departments in the imperial court have been readjusted.
The transfer of personnel still takes some time to get used to, but now the imperial court has probably implemented the regulations of the constitution on the right track.
After Kant read the constitution carefully, he became more determined in his heart about the idea of making it public to the people tomorrow.
Now Dherim is a peaceful place in a desert oasis, and this will be the first time that Kant will present his vision to the people.
A centralized country is very dependent on the leadership of the top, and Kant wants to use Dherim as the center to convey such a belief to the people living on the land of the Calradia Empire: in a centralized system Under the circumstances, citizens are also needed to join in and participate together.
This is a balancing choice made by Kant at the apex of centralized power. He believes in his ability: he can lead such a systemic country well.
Until late at night, Kant was still busy before the case, preparing for tomorrow's publication.
On the day of his birthday, early in the morning, the ceremony officials brought their staff to bathe and change Kant's clothes.
Under the service of the ceremonial staff, Kant put on the dress delivered yesterday and walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace stood a high platform that was built overnight. When the palace door opened, the bands standing on both sides outside the door began to play music.
The salute also sounded: the pink petals filled the entire open space.
Kant walked to the high platform under the attention and cheers of the common people and courtiers.
After the routine etiquette was over, Kant cleared his throat and signaled everyone to be quiet for a while.
The officials in the audience had already received the news early in the morning, and they were prepared in their hearts.
The people who didn't know the inside story looked curious, looking forward to Kant's follow-up speech.
"I, Lord of Dehrim, Kant. Declare that Dehrim is no longer an ordinary colonial territory. It is the capital of the Calradian Empire built by you and me! Each of you is inspired by Calradia. Citizens protected by the Sub-Empire!" Kant solemnly said word by word.
"Eh?!" Among the crowd in the audience, after Kant finished his first sentence, exclamations of surprise came one after another. At the end when Kant's voice fell, everyone's face showed a look of surprise. Then they hugged each other and cheered.
Seeing that the public's reaction was much more positive than expected, Kant was relieved.
After Kant finished his speech, representatives elected by senior officials came to the stage. He introduced the national nature of Calradia and read out the newly formulated constitution.
"Today is not only the lord's birthday. It is also the day when the Calradia Empire was born. I hope everyone can spend it happily." The minister finally concluded.
The ceremony of celebrating Kant's birthday came to an end.
Every year on this day in the future, the whole country will have a day off.
When the Calradia Empire grows stronger and accommodates more people, this day will become an even more precious day.
After Kant returned to the palace, he sat down leisurely in the side hall of the Senate Hall.
It still takes a lot of physical strength to preach in front of thousands of people.
For Kant who dealt with political affairs in the palace all day, he was also exhausted.
After sitting for a while, a courtesy officer led his men in a file, and each of them held a plate in their hands.
"This is?" Kant asked.
"Report to the lord, this is a folk snack made by various merchants at today's rally." The ceremony officer responded.
"Okay, let's put it down." Kant nodded and said.
"Yes." The ceremonial official replied. Then he directed everyone to place the dishes in their hands on the table.
Kant was not very used to having so many people watching him while he was eating, so he said to the etiquette officer, "It's okay, you all step back."
The etiquette officer glanced at the dishes on the table and nodded hesitantly. He left with the people.
According to the procedure, the etiquette officer should introduce each dish. But he looked at the tired face of the lord, and he probably didn't have the heart to listen to it. There was no further suggestion.
Kant sat down at the dining table and began to taste all kinds of snacks alone.
Every dish is soft and glutinous, and the taste is very good.
Unknowingly, Kant began to taste carefully, devoting himself to this dish wholeheartedly.
Until the end, the stomach in the body no longer cares about the burden, and the mouth can no longer swallow it. Kant put down the tableware in his hand.
He took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.
Kant was sitting in front of the desk, his eyes unconsciously turned to the door of the Senate Hall.
It's noon now, and the palace is full of excitement. During this rare holiday, there shouldn't be any officials coming to him to report on government affairs.
At this time of the day, there would often be civil servants or generals under his command who would come to him to discuss political affairs.
Kant sat quietly like this for a while. After confirming that no one would come, he returned to the side hall to rest.
In this world, almost no one has the habit of taking a nap. Kant had this habit before, but after managing Dherim, this habit gradually disappeared.
Now I really didn't think of any other place to go, so I sat in front of this bed: Although the bustle outside the palace was caused by him, it was not very suitable for him to participate. Although the birthday is not a special day, it would be too miserable if it was used to handle government affairs for oneself on this day. Kant was a statesman and a military strategist, not a workaholic. What's more, today is a national holiday, and no text has been passed into the temple at all.
After closing the thin quilt and lying down, Kant began to try to get himself back to the habit of taking a nap.
His brain still seemed to be very excited, and scenes from the past continued to emerge before his eyes: his father and mother, the stalemate he faced when he first came to Dherim, the anger and tension of being defeated in the elven country's reinforcements.
Kant's thoughts became dissociated, and he fell asleep drowsily.
