It was a frigid evening, the wind whipped through the dark empty streets of London. The masses of people were celebrating comfortably in their warm homes, awaiting the new year. Beneath the grand stairs of the Royal Palace in the heart of London, six beautifully designed red horse-drawn carriages arrived in the brightly lit courtyard .
In the first carriage was Pol Pot, dressed in his finest brown suit, his dark hair reflecting the light from the street lights. Tipu Sultan exited the following carriage. He was wearing a golden turban covered in red, silver and blue jewelry with a massive necklace bejeweled with gold, along with a brown pagri that matched his turban. Slowly the third carriage door opened. Solomon looked at the drifting snowflakes …show more content…
“Liu Bang, one of my advisors have recently informed me about the events that have occurred in China. Massive political and governmental changes have taken place”, Solomon stated. Liu Bang’s expression suddenly grew solemn. He slowly nodded, with discontent. “The rebels have ruined China. For more than 3,000 years, different dynasties have controlled China, and each time a dynasty weakens, the dynasty is overthrown and the next ruling family will determine be determined by who wins out in the ensuing chaos and war;however the rebels have completely changed that. They ended more than 3000 years of culture and history by overthrowing the Qing dynasty, causing China to enter a new stage of instability and chaos..” Mansa Musa quickly agreed, “it is the best of interest for a country to be ruled by a monarch; although some monarchs are inefficient rulers, most of them are qualified for the job and allow for their countries to thrive economically and socially, despite the condition of their people.” Tupac straightened up in his chair and glanced at Liu Bang, “In all honesty, the monarchy was doomed in China, as the western nations invaded and humiliated the chinese, causing the people to clamor for change, ultimately leading to the Revolution of 1911 and the establishment of the republic.” Pol Pot looked at Tupac Amaru and nodded in agreement, Pol Pot took big gulp of wine, exhaling deeply when he …show more content…
The phonograph at the center of the dining hall began to play a slow and upbeat tune. Liu Bang was pleasantly surprised at the amazing music coming from the contraption, and the entire hall echoed the captivating tune of the music. “What kind of music is that?,” Liu Bang and Tupac asked “For I have never heard such an enchanting tune.” “Oh that? well that is the new genre of music that was created in America”, Tipu Sultan answered. “Its called Blues, which stemmed from the African Americans population during the late 1800s as a way to express their emotions and frustrations of life”, Pol Pot added. Mansa Musa looked intently on the golden record player, and added to the Pol Pot’s reply, “additionally the Blues was inspired by African folk music and the tune that is playing right now is a mix of Blues and Jazz. Jazz was inspired by the Blues and in recent years has become popular in the African American community.” Solomon smiled, “But as you guys can see African Americans are not the only people to enjoy Blues. In fact it is these small things such as simple enjoyment of art and music that connect us as human beings.” The snow had intensified and on the ground there was a thin layer of snow. Inside the dining hall, the men were laughing and talking like old friends as they awaited the new year, eager to see what awaited them
