Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 108:
The capital of the orc empire is called the "big golden tent". Long, long ago, the orcs at that time were still in a nomadic society. They lived by water and grass and used tents as their dwelling place. At that time, all tribal leaders with a certain status and status liked to use golden tents to symbolize power and status.
Later, the various races of the orcs were unified after many years of war. After the unification, relevant laws and regulations on the color and decoration of tents were formulated.
According to the law, only one pure golden tent is allowed in the entire orc empire, which is dedicated to the orc emperor; the prince uses silver as the top and the gold as the edge; the duke uses the silver top and the silver edge gold wire to draw the totem; the Marquis A tent with a silver top and silver rim inlaid with gold wire; a tent with a silver top and a silver rim hanging gold tassels at the end; a viscount with a pure silver tent; a baron with a silver totem tent.
As for the barons and below, even the nobles are not qualified to talk about the "ritual system"!
Time has changed, and now the orc emperor has long no longer lived in tents. They settled on a low hill in the hinterland of the prairie and built a city here, continuing to use the name "Golden Tent".
This city is often laughed at because it has no walls.
But why do you need a wall? If the orcs don't beat others, they should be thankful. Who dares to provoke them?
Monsters? Beast? Orcs' patrols are all over the city, the farthest one is even hundreds of miles away. What beasts or monsters can pass through the defenses of countless patrols and break into the city and wreak havoc?
The city of "Dajin Tent" has no stone walls, but countless patrolmen have used countless patrols to build a living wall.
The most conspicuous thing in this city is the tall building that stands tall on a high platform in the middle of a low hill.
The golden roof is like a tent, clearly the emperor's palace.
Around the palace, a circle of houses lined up one after another, extending all the way down the slope.
There is a detail here. The residences of the emperor and the nobles were not built directly on the ground, but a high platform was built on the ground first, and then built on the high platform. The civilians are not allowed to build such houses, even those wealthy businessmen, as long as they do not have the status of aristocrats, their houses can only be built on the flat ground.
The orc empire pays much attention to the "ritual system", and the foundation of the house is different for different status levels. How many levels can there be from a high platform, how high each level can be, what decorative patterns can be used... these are very particular.
Sui Xiong can't afford this kind of exquisiteness.
He feels that a truly emboldened country and nation should not put too much emphasis on the "rules of etiquette". Of course, they should not be indifferent at all, but they should definitely not be too particular.
Rather than wondering how to set rules for subjects at all levels, it is better to think about how to win people's hearts.
The country is in the people, in the resources, and certainly not in the etiquette system.
So the Northwestern Republic doesn't pay much attention to this set, and of course it is not all indifferent, but in today's world, they are definitely the least pay attention to etiquette.
They have no "imperial garden", no "imperial workshop", and no "imperial style". Apart from some measures necessary to ensure safety, the way of life of officials and civilians in the Northwestern Republic is not essential. the difference.
When Sui Xiong started doing this, some people advised him not to be so extreme and to respect the tradition. However, Sui Xiong rolled his eyes and asked lazily: "Tradition? I don't remember the tradition of our jellyfish..."
This is obviously a strong word, but Majesty the Void is really a jellyfish, and no one can ask a jellyfish to act according to other people's rules.
And the orc empire obviously belongs to the kind of doing things according to other people's rules, and they are a little bit crazy. Sui Xiong led his subordinates on the street and saw that there was probably enough to accommodate two people in the middle of the wide street. A parallel white stone road extends from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
"This is the famous'Golden Tent Imperial Road', right?" Steer looked at the white stone road curiously, but didn't stupidly walk over to touch it. "It is said that unless the orc emperor's permission is obtained , Otherwise even nobles are not allowed to embark on this road."
"That's right." Sui Xiong nodded, "Chop one foot when one foot is on, and behead one when two feet are on. There is no accommodation."
"It's terrible! The orc emperor usually doesn't go out, so what does it matter if others go this way!"
"This is to create a sense of authority and sacredness." Sui Xiong said, "Things close at hand have a distance like a ditch, which allows the people to clearly understand the difference in rank... This technique is quite old-fashioned and so-so."
"Huh? Old-fashioned? Does any other country have a ‘Royal Road’?" Steer asked curiously.
Sui Xiong smiled without explaining.
He can't say that this technique was used more than a thousand years ago on Earth, and it is not rare at all.
A group of people walked on a wide street. On both sides of the street were independent houses, but no shops were seen.
In the city of "Dajinzhang", shops are concentrated in a block called "Merchant's Square". Except for this block, shops are not allowed in other places, and offenders will be put to death.
The place where Sui Xiong wants to take his subordinates to ~IndoMTL.com~ is also the merchant's workshop.
He has already studied the topography of the "big golden tent". There are about three suitable places to build a guillotine in this city.
The first is naturally the large square in front of the palace, which is big and wide enough to accommodate a lot of spectators.
But this square is not allowed to step into this square without any reason, even if it is a nobleman, without formal missions or the emperor’s call, he is not allowed to enter this square, even if he is killed there, it is useless.
The second is the large square in front of the Imperial Guard Barracks, which is also big and wide enough to accommodate a lot of spectators.
However, civilians are not allowed to enter the square, and nobles are not restricted, but how many nobles are there in total? What's more, they hurt their kind, how can they come to watch the excitement?
So the only place he can choose is the last place, the large square of Merchant Square.
This large square is a place where a large-scale market is held in the middle and end of the month. It is usually empty there, and it is of no use. This time it was used for events.
Actually, it is much smaller than the other two squares. However, the transportation is convenient. It is adjacent to the civilian residential area and does not restrict the access of civilians.
Of course, with Sui Xiong's strength, whether it is the square in front of the palace or the square in front of the Imperial Guard Barracks, as long as he wants, the orc empire can't stop him from calling on civilians to watch the fun. However, Sui Xiong will leave here after all, and maybe the Orc Empire will settle accounts with the civilians.
He doesn't want to cause this kind of trouble to the civilians, so he should just find a place where the civilians can come and go freely.
Anyway... the important thing is not the stage, but the actors.
For this "performance", he specially left some important "actors"!
