v5 Chapter 574: Mysterious master

Just before the arrival of the luxury wedding car, a dedicated automatic carpet laying car was used as a pilot to spread a two-hundred-meter-long red carpet from the entrance of the venue to the fountain garden. While laying the red carpet, the car was still There is a flower sprayer that sprays rose petals of various colors and sprinkles them on the carpet as decoration.

Immediately afterwards, two video cameras followed, one left and the other right for framing, and a light helicopter hovered over the wedding scene to perform aerial photography in order to reproduce the wedding scene three-dimensionally.

The invited guests all left their seats and gathered outside the cordon on both sides of the red carpet.

The first luxury wedding car stopped at a distance of one hundred meters from the garden. The door slid open, and a man and a woman in wedding dresses appeared in front of the crowd.

"Oh, the bride is so beautiful!" someone beside him immediately exclaimed.

"Mr. Chen, you made a mistake. It was the best man and bridesmaid! Didn't you see the sign on the chest?" Someone immediately corrected.

Sure enough, everyone paid attention to the logos on the chests of the men and women of the car. The logo made of gold silk is indeed the words best man and bridesmaid, but everyone has also seen it, only the best man and bridesmaid, this set of outfits I am afraid that there will be more than tens of millions, especially the exquisite decorations on the groomsmen and bridesmaids, all of which are star-lit, carefully crafted with solid-color diamonds and gold threads, and the European-style crowns are inlaid on them. The diamond decoration is worth more than 20 million yuan, and the best man holds a scepter in his hand. The bloodstone at the top is red and red, and it can be seen that it is very valuable from a long distance.

Those who know the goods immediately recognized it. This. Scepter was the one used when the Byzantine emperor Shimladali I was crowned, and it is also one of the top ten precious scepters so far. , Invaluable.

However, the identities of the best man and the bridesmaid are naturally different. They are Fan Kang and Xiao Qiang.

Naturally, Fan Kang didn't dress like a bridegroom, but he had a stand-up collar. The black gambling cape lined his handsome appearance, and the golden eyes that were temporarily made to decorate the gentlemanly made him have a better temperament first.

Xiao Qiang's outfit attracted the focus of countless flashes, and the light that was constantly on for a while turned out to be even more dazzling than the bright sunshine.

"Fortunately, I have prepared before, otherwise people will be unable to open their eyes just with these flashing lights." Xiao Qiang held Fan Kang's pen in his hand, posing in the most elegant posture, and whispering to Fan Kang. .

"It's all made up without disease. So many famous churches come here, are you tired? I was arrested and harassed by him since last night. After this set of rituals today, I will go home and sleep immediately." Fan Kang replied .

Fan Kang is a lazy person, not to say how lazy he is, but from the perspective of his mentality, he doesn't like this kind of hustle and bustle scene, and he doesn't like to be busy with business all day, so he spends a little time on enjoying it. , His income in a year, but half of his income has been dissipated.

He and Xiao Qiang were two of the leaders, and then a lengthened wedding car stopped, and the 36 male and female flower girls walked down from the top six, all of which were very popular. They were divided into two rows and followed Fan. Behind Kang and Xiao Qiang, they stopped at a distance of 50 meters from the fountain garden.

The third long wedding car stopped. It was a very tall wedding car. It looked like a double-decker bus, but its appearance was an ordinary sedan style. It looked very strange. When the car stopped, the front face It suddenly opened, as if boarding a ship 6, and then a metal gangway more than five meters long appeared inside.

Fan Ting and Han Chu were standing on the automatic gangway, letting the automatic gangway descend slowly, feeling a bit of a Martian getting off the spacecraft, everyone was a little dumbfounded, I don’t know where the wedding car is so slick. Made it?

However, someone immediately said that this car was specially tailored by Fan’s automobile manufacturing company for Fan Ting’s wedding, and it was not sold. However, depending on the level of attention at the wedding scene today, it is estimated that this car is likely to be in a small range. It became popular within, of course, it must be tailor-made by greeting in advance, and ordinary people can't afford this thing.

The moment Fan Ting and Han Chu stepped onto the red carpet, the solemn and solemn music rang. In order to enhance the musical effect, Fan Wubing also asked him to get two huge and unfriended pipe organs from Germany. A huge echo wall is constructed with a metal wall around it.

When the sound of the pipe organ sounded, the huge resonance it caused made the immersive people feel excited, and their hearts were greatly shocked. The luthier who played the pipe organ was an authentic clergyman invited from the Vatican, with the title of bishop. Son.

Next, hundreds of singers who temporarily acted as choirs began to perform several predetermined songs. Everyone is a leader in the industry. When picking up the movement and chanting, it is much more powerful than ordinary choirs. .

Fan Ting and Han Chu are also a little nervous. Although Fan Ting has been the boss for a long time, and has seen too many important people in business and government, but like this today, thousands of business and government officials The situation in the world where people are onlookers is still inferior. In addition, today is a significant day, it is inevitable to be a little timid, and the rendering of the scene created by Fan Wuyi deliberately is really a bit fast. Can't hold it down.

Fortunately, when everyone was very excited, the music gradually became quieter, and everyone's mood began to return to normal.

In the garden, the elders of the bride and groom gathered together and looked at the two newlyweds who were about to come with all smiles.

If it is according to the original intention of the two elderly people, the Chinese wedding ceremony is to be adopted, but then, due to Fan Heng’s current status, it will be difficult to deal with, so Fan Wubing very decisively adopted a Western-style wedding. Everyone just needs to watch the ceremony by the side, but there is no need to go through the red tape.

And in this way, the central leaders who are special guests can also participate in the whole process, and they will sell the Fan Heng family's face. Otherwise, it would not be good to join in, because that would be too cumbersome and ostentatious.

Fan Heng and his wife accompanied their relatives and the officials of the Central Committee to observe the ceremony. The friends, such as Boss Zhu, Director Zhang of the General Logistics Department, and several members of the Central Committee who frequented each other, all had gifts as gifts. Everyone sat there watching the newcomer walk into the garden and onto a table built with flowers.

At this time, everyone has a question in their hearts, that is, who is qualified to preside over the ceremony for such a grand wedding?

Just as everyone was speculating, the voice of singing poems rang again. There were about forty clergymen in a team, wearing various costumes, slowly walking out from the back of the garden.

Among the people present, in addition to many domestic figures from the business and political circles, there were also many foreign politicians. After seeing the emergence of the team, these people immediately screamed, and then formed a tide-like sensation. Cheers like a tsunami.

"This is--" The few well-informed figures present were stunned, "Honor guard of the Pope!"

It was the Pope's honor guard who appeared in front of them. They were very young, with handsome and clear appearance, dignified expressions, reserved manners, holding prayer flags in their hands and walking slowly with artifacts in their hands. The selection of the Pope's guard of honor is very strict. They must be Swiss, Catholic, single, taller than 174 cm, and have no beard. Every year on May 6th, the new guard of honor takes an oath in the Vatican to commemorate the 147 Swiss soldiers who died in defense of the Pope on May 6, 1527.

In the Vatican team in this white robe, an elder is eye-catching. Although there are people of his age next to him, he is the only one who wears a gold and silver robe and a gilded triple bronze crown. , Appears very solemn, it is Pope Paul II of Rome.

Although many people in China are dissatisfied with religion and have heard from Pope Paul II, the old man in front of him is so graceful and graceful that he is very personable, and is indeed a bit out of the ordinary. Among the guests nearby, there are many believers. Seeing the pope in person, they couldn't help but feel more enthusiastic. Some shouted hoarsely, and some stretched out their hands to the sky in prayer. Obviously, they didn't expect this scene, and they were overjoyed.

The central officials present were also a bit at a loss. They had not received news that Paul II would be attending Fan Ting’s wedding before, nor did they expect that Fan Wubing would be able to get this activist to host the wedding. , I was a little caught off guard.

But considering that everyone is attending this wedding in their personal capacity, and they are all covered up, it is hard to overreact. After all, this is only a private occasion, and there is no need to make things too rigid.

According to the Catholic wedding agenda, the bride must wear a white wedding dress, headdress flowers, hand ornaments, etc. are very particular, the groom should also wear a tuxedo, tie a red or black bow tie, which is in harmony with the atmosphere of the church wedding, and must be in Accompanied by the "Wedding March", the bride's father led his daughter, slowly walked to the front of the Holy Spirit, delivered her to the groom, and the wedding began.

Then the priests set up the altar, the bride and groom kneel on the bench, prepare a plate, holy water, the newlyweds gather at the entrance of the church, change their clothes, and the luthier is ready. The priest and the acolyte waited in front of the altar, and the witnesses took their place.

The master of ceremonies announced the beginning of the wedding, the luthier played music, which is the "Wedding March", and the couple steadily moved forward and knelt down in front of the altar. Then the priest began to preside over the wedding, and the luthier played the background music "Ode to the Virgin".

Then the ceremony announced that the newlyweds should embrace and show their love, and everyone applauded. After that, the couple knelt down and thanked God, stood up and thanked the priest, the witness, the parents, the guests, friends, and the staff, and then took pictures.

But today’s situation is obviously a bit different. Fan Ting and Han Chu were not Catholics before, and the current scene is not in the church, but a temporary altar. Another important point is that The chief priest is Pope Paul II, and the adjunct is also the cardinal cardinal, whose scale is unprecedented.

According to previous standards, this treatment was only possible when the emperor was crowned or married.

The most important point is that the Vatican has not established formal diplomatic relations with the Big Six, and has been in a relatively ideological state before.

Paul II was born in Poland. He is the second pope in history who is not Italian. He has a relatively stance. Former Soviet President Gorbachev once said that without the Pope, the Iron Curtain can’t fall down, and many former Soviet republics also Hold this view.

However, in January this year, Paul II visited Cuba, which is also a socialist country, and has a friendly attitude towards Cuba. He criticized the United States for imposing an embargo against Cuba for a long time, hurting the Cuban people. This exercised him to win the trust of the Cuban government and people, and helped Cuban Catholics gain more freedom. He also criticized the extreme corporate capitalism.

Paul II’s health is not good. After two premeditated assassinations and the threat of cancer, his health is getting worse and worse. In recent years, not only a tumor was removed from the large intestine, but his shoulder was also dislocated. The appendix was removed the year before last. So under this circumstance, he was able to come to Fan Ting's wedding site to host in person. Obviously, no one had expected it, and ordinary members of the royal family would not be able to ask for this opportunity.

The pope is a lifelong system. After the death of the previous pope, the pope composed of cardinals from all over the world elects another pope. The election of the pope must be conducted strictly in accordance with the traditional methods since the Middle Ages. The election is based on mutual elections, and two of them are elected with more than one-third of the votes. The list of candidates is not mentioned in advance, so it often takes multiple votes to have a result.

During the election period, information about the election must not be publicized. To wait for the result of the election, thousands of believers gathered on St. Peter's Square outside the Sistine Chapel, staring at the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. Every time there is a vote, the chimney smokes once. If the smoke that comes out is black, it means that the election has no results yet~lightnovelpub.net~ If the chimney rises with white smoke, it means that the new pope has been elected.

The pope has always been Italian, but Pope Hadria VI is a Dutch. The non-Italian pope caused an uproar and tragedy. The Romans at the time believed that it was apostasy to make a non-Italian pope. The Romans rushed into the Sistine Chapel, beat the cardinals who were electing the pope with stones and sticks, and robbed the church of valuables.

It happened that the plague was spreading in Europe at that time, and the pope from a poor carpenter family became a target of public criticism. One year and eight months later, the pope died inexplicably. Instead of accepting mourning, the Romans celebrated like a festival.

After more than 400 years, Pope John Paul II elected in 1978 was not Italian but Polish. After the news came out, the 150,000 people gathered in St. Peter's Square were very surprised and talked a lot.

However, the results of this election did not cause disturbances. On the contrary, when Paul II appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's Monastery, he received a traditional warm welcome.

Today, it is amazing that Paul II was able to attend the wedding of a couple of non-diplomatic countries as the chief priest, especially since many foreigners at the scene were Catholic believers, and felt that there was some unusual significance in this.
