Chapter 967

In fact, the British royal family not only arranged for the Crown Prince Charles and the Princess to greet him in person, but there is a more important ceremony behind it - the award is waiting for Bao Zixuan.

As an important figure in the development and promotion of Hong Kong, a world-renowned entrepreneur, during the Falklands War, he strongly supported the United Kingdom, and was blocked by the entire Argentina for this. In other honors, also won a lot. At this time, in the eyes of the British, Hong Kong still belonged to the British Commonwealth. From that perspective, Bao Zixuan is all eligible for the award.

In the castle of Prince Charles that night, Mr. and Mrs. Bao Zixuan and Mrs. Charles had an aristocratic dinner together. Zhang Youran enjoyed it very much, but Bao's richest man was really not used to it.

During the dinner, Crown Prince Charles proposed to Bao Zixuan that Her Majesty the Queen would meet him tomorrow and award him a medal. In order not to embarrass the scene, and at the same time not to embarrass Bao Zixuan, he decided to award the honor together with Harold Macmillan.

Before coming to the UK, I had already thought about these issues. But now Bao Zixuan has figured out that he is always looking ahead, and others won't take you seriously. It's better to live your life. When you have enough strength, you don't have to care too much about what other people think.

And the richest man Bao has already thought of a way out, at least to take his destiny in his own hands.

Buckingham Palace is the main residence and office of the British monarch in London. Located in Westminster, Buckingham Palace is one of the venues for British national celebrations and royal welcome ceremonies, as well as an important tourist attraction.

Buckingham Palace is also an important meeting place at times of celebration or crisis in British history. From 1703 to 1705, John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham and Normanby, built a large town hall building called Buckingham Palace here, which constitutes the main building today.

In 1761, King George III of England acquired the mansion and used it as a private residence. Since then, the expansion of the palace has continued for more than 75 years, mainly by architects John Nassi and Edward Broll, framing a three-sided building for the central courtyard.

After Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, Buckingham Palace became the official residence of the King of England. In the 1840s, the construction of the public facade of the palace began, forming the image of Buckingham Palace that continues to this day. During World War II, the Palace Chapel was destroyed by a German bomb attack; the Queen's Gallery, established on its site, opened to the public in 1962 to showcase the Royal Collection.

The current Buckingham Palace is open to the public, and the famous Praetorian Guard handover ceremony is held every morning, which has become a major landscape of British royal culture.

The next morning, Bao Zixuan began to prepare under the service of his wife Zhang Youran. After all, it is a big day, and it must be well dressed.

Seeing this palace that he had heard of countless times before, Bao Zixuan was filled with emotion. I have visited here in my previous life, of course, only as a tourist. Who would have thought that I would be able to come over and let the Queen personally award it. Don't talk about realizing it before, you don't even dare to think about it.

However, I have seen too many palaces in this life, and I don't feel anything special. And to be honest, Bao Zixuan's mansion in Kyoto is not much worse than Buckingham Palace, and most loses in fame. When Huaxia Kyoto develops, the price of the house itself will definitely not be lower than here.

Compared to Bao Zixuan's calmness, Zhang Youran was extremely excited. I was very envious of the life of the British aristocracy before, and it was considered a poisoned generation. After marrying Bao Zixuan, the situation is better; but the things in the bones are difficult to change for a while.

The British Honours and Commendation System is a system designed to reward those who have contributed to the UK.

Different honorary titles represent different importance, and some titles were created centuries ago.

The list of honoured persons is recommended by the Prime Minister to the British monarch. Individuals can also nominate candidates to the Prime Minister, and the UK Foreign Office can nominate foreign citizens to the Prime Minister for honours. Commonwealth governments can also nominate their own citizens to the British government, although most Commonwealth countries have established their own honor systems. The monarch can also decide on his own to award honors to individuals.

The list of honorees is usually announced twice a year - the monarch's birthday and the new year. The ceremonies of honoring are always in the spotlight, the most famous of which is of course the knighting ceremony, in which the monarch holds a symbolic sword and taps the knighted person on the shoulder. But sometimes those who are honored also refuse to accept the honor. In 2003, a British newspaper in the previous life published a list of all those who had refused to be canonized.

Baozixuan people are in the UK, and their business is mainly in Xiangjiang. If you still want to live a comfortable life, it is really not good to refuse directly.

In any country, awards are solemn and solemn. It shouldn't have been arranged today, it feels like it was specially prepared for Bao Zixuan.

The British have also taken great pains to win the recognition of the richest man in the package. When he came to London, the Crown Prince not only greeted him personally, but also specially arranged the time for the award. This is unprecedented in British history.

Obtaining the title of nobility does not mean much to Bao Zixuan, but seeing that the British are so carefully prepared, he can't be too casual. The British investigated Bao Zixuan's personality in great detail. In fact, it is not only the British. I am afraid that what kind of person Bao's richest man is is no secret in the world.

Before the award ceremony began, Bao Zixuan saw an old man. And for this person, he still has some impressions.

Morris-Harold-Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stock East, British politician, Prime Minister, member of the Conservative Party, educator and author. Macmillan was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1957 to 1963. His nickname was "Supermac", and he never used Morris to refer to himself before he was promoted to aristocrat, so the public generally called him Harold Mac Mirren. In a 2004 MORI survey, Macmillan ranked fifth among British prime ministers of the 20th century.

But he has another identity, which Bao Zixuan is more familiar with. In 1960, Morris - Harold - Macmillan served as Bao Zixuan's alma mater, which is the chancellor of Oxford University. Although it is more of a temporary job, where is the identity of the other party. No matter what country or nation it is, respecting teachers and valuing Tao is human nature, and it is also the most basic politeness issue.

When Bao Zixuan saw that the old man didn't dare to take care of him, he quickly stepped forward, and at the same time stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, principal! I'm Bao Zixuan, I didn't expect to see you here."

Maurice Harold Macmillan is in good shape despite being 90 years old. This Oxford top student, who was named a well-known alumnus just after graduation, is of course no strangers. Although Bao Zixuan did not spend much time in Oxford during his studies. However, as a former principal, he still pays attention to the situation of the school.

The arrival of the old principal made Bao Zixuan a little surprised, and at the same time he didn't understand what the British meant.

Macmillan attended Eton College in his early years and went to Balliol College, Oxford University in 1912, but he was only two years at the university before joining the army because of the outbreak of the First World War. During the Great War, Macmillan served in the Kingsguard, rank to captain, and was wounded three times in action. During the Battle of the Somme, Macmillan was shot in the bone by a bullet, and as a result he spent the whole day hiding in a foxhole, reading the original works of the ancient Greek writer Aeschylus. In the First World War, because he lost many friends, he refused to return to Oxford to study after the war, and lamented that the university had changed beyond recognition.

In 1920, he married Dorothy Cavendish, the daughter of the Governor, ~www.mtlnovel.com~, which gave him the status of equal dialogue with the nobles.

These are not important, you must know that this old man has a special identity. In 1984, Macmillan finally accepted the peerage and was named Earl of Stock East and Viscount Macmillan of Owendon. His peerage is a hereditary peerage, and so far, he is the last non-royal member in British history to be named a hereditary peerage.

Arranged for the old principal to be awarded with him today, is there any conspiracy here? Although the title of British aristocracy was not valuable at this time, it was by no means easy for ordinary people to obtain.

At present, we can only take one step and see one step; what exactly does the British royal family mean. According to Bao Zixuan's age and contribution, the possibility of conferring lifelong nobles is very high, and hereditary nobles are obviously worse.

Moreover, the British hereditary nobles are basically from the British mainland. Strictly speaking, Bao Zixuan is not British. Moreover, at this time, the people already have a lot of opinions on the royal family, and it is impossible for the royal family to offend all the people because the richest man is alone; the cost is too high, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

Arranged to be awarded with the old principal to show the importance attached to Bao Zixuan from the side. After all, the other party conferred hereditary nobles, and I believe that the richest man will not be too different. If it doesn't meet expectations, it's just a foil, and inviting people to come and award them will be disgusting.
