The Jagged Empire of Daqin

.....

December 25th, [-]th year of Shengqin!

night!

The Great Qin Empire, Beizhou, Shangyang County, Xianyang, and the Imperial Palace!

Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, and today is the last day of this year. In order to celebrate the arrival of the new year, Ying often held a large banquet in Fengtian Hall and invited officials of the sixth rank or higher to the banquet. Yang Xiao also ordered the palace to be hung with red lanterns to celebrate new year!

Nowadays, red lanterns are hung one after another in front of the palace gates, corridors, gazebos, trees, and even roadsides of any palace in the upper and lower parts of the palace. At the palace, every guard, maid, and eunuch on duty held a lantern in their hand, making the palace glow red and beaming with joy.

The Fengtian Hall was even more brightly lit. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sat on the seats on the left and right sides, and on the black carved dragon throne on the high platform, Ying Chang and Yang Xiao sat together in red and black dresses.

There are also two rows of seats under the high platform, with five seats in the front row and five seats in the back row. The five seats in the front row are the 14-year-old eldest princess Ying Bei, the ten-year-old eldest prince Ying Jiang, and the six-year-old second prince. Ying Fang, the six-year-old third prince Ying Hui, and the six-year-old fourth prince Ying Yun!

The five seats in the back row are the noble concubine Tang Hua, the concubine Jia Tianyue, the concubine Ling Zhao Mu, the concubine Wei Shuyi, and the concubine Ning Zhao Ke!

Today's New Year's event is the most complete event for the Ying Qin royal family, but it is not the most complete event for the Man Dynasty and Wu. Except for King Wu Bai Qi, the rest of the generals would have returned to their residences long ago. If they were all present If so, it is really a rare event!

Yingchang looked around the hall with sharp eyes, and then shouted: "My dear friends, since I took office, today is the only big New Year's event. Tonight, you and my monarch and ministers don't talk about political affairs, just drink and eat meat when you are happy, and celebrate. a new Year!"

"it is good!!"

"it is good!"

All the ministers applauded in unison with blushing faces, and they were all overjoyed.

"Pei Ji!" Ying Chang called softly!

"Chen is here!"

Pei Ji, who was sitting in the second position in the first row on the right, immediately stood up and responded!

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 764 Country!

"What is the first content of the event?" Ying Chang asked with a smile on his face.

This New Year's event was organized by Pei Ji. I heard that he designed a lot of interesting programs, and he even played tricks on Ying Chang, not telling Ying Chang about the specific programs.

Pei Ji composes complacently and laughs: "Return to Your Majesty, the first content is to write poems!"

"Do poetry?"

There was a faint smile on Ying Chang's face, thinking, this Pei Ji is really good at looking for things, and he found something he is best at, isn't it just writing poems, copying the poems of ancient masters in previous lives.

Many ministers also showed confident smiles when they heard that the first content was to write poems. Among other things, writing poems is still possible.

"How to do it?" Kong, Minister of Rites, looked at Pei Ji and asked.

Pei Ji looked around at the ministers, and then said aloud: "This poem is composed on the spot, and His Majesty will write the title. Each minister must write a poem with the title of His Majesty within half a stick of incense. Bad, it's up to the adults present and Your Majesty to judge!"

Upon hearing this sentence, many confident ministers frowned immediately. For them, composing poetry is not a difficult task, but if they want to compose a poem within half a stick of incense, they have to follow the instructions of His Majesty. Writing poems on the topic is indeed hell-level difficulty. Of course, if you make a doggerel, you can do it in the blink of an eye.

But here is the Fengtian Palace, where the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor, the queen, and the concubines, princesses, and princes of the harem are all present. On such an occasion, if you make a doggerel, you will lose face to grandma's house.

"Haha, that's interesting. If that's the case, then I'll add a lot of prizes. Whoever composes a poem in half a stick of incense according to the topic I gave, and gets high praise from everyone present, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold. The money is not a lot, but it is my wish after all, what do you think about it?" Ying Chang looked at the officials on both sides of the stage with a smile on his face and said with a smile.

When Pei Ji heard this, he immediately said to the officials: "What are you waiting for, Your Majesty has already paid for it!"

Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Ze got up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall with strides, and said respectfully to Ying Chang on the high platform: "Your Majesty, I want to try it!"

"Then please, take Jiangshan as the topic!" Ying Chang raised his hand with a smile on his face.

Yang Ze nodded with a smile, and then his face straightened, a contemplative look emerged between his brows, his brain was running fast, thinking of words and eliminating words, when Yang Ze was thinking, he also inserted words into the case. Half a pillar of incense was lit, and many ministers looked closely at Yang Ze.

As the incense burned shorter and shorter, the atmosphere gradually became tense. Everyone looked at Yang Ze quietly. After some time, when the half stick of incense was about to burn out, Yang Ze finally opened his mouth and said: :

"The bright moon looks at all living beings in the sky,"

"The scorching sun shines on the mountains and rivers."

"The blue sky and emerald green reflect the river and the sea,"

"Everything walks between heaven and earth."

After the lingering sound fell, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty carefully savored the four lines of seven rhythms with the theme of Jiangshan. Not only the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were savoring it, but Ying Chang Yang Xiao and other members of the royal family were also reminiscing about the poem.

"Nice poem!"

Just when everyone was savoring Yang Ze's poem, Concubine Ning Zhao Ke suddenly couldn't help shouting a good poem, causing everyone in the hall to look at Zhao Ke, wanting to hear Zhao Ke continue, look Let's see what tricks Zhao Ke can come up with.

Zhao Ke seemed to see through the meaning of the ministers, and immediately explained with a hint of a smile: "Your Majesty takes Jiangshan as the topic, and Jiangshan includes the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers, rivers and seas, all creatures, heaven and earth, and Master Yang's four sentences of the seven laws of Jiangshan , has everything!"

"The bright moon looks at all living beings in the sky, the meaning should be that the moon is like a god, standing on the sky looking down on all living beings, covering all living beings with silver and white clothes, illuminating the road ahead of them; The previous sentence is roughly the same, except that there is a bright moon at night and a month of scorching sun during the day, one is sentient beings, and one is mountains and rivers, and the scorching sun hangs in the sky, shining on the mountains and rivers, and bringing brightness to the mountains and rivers!"

"The blue sky and green reflect the mountains and rivers, the blue sky represents the sky, and the green represents the beautiful mountains and forests. The blue sky reflects the beautiful mountains and forests on the river and sea, making people see it like a dream; everything walks between heaven and earth, everything refers to birds and beasts, heaven and earth It refers to the earth and the sky, the birds soar in the sky, and the beasts roam the earth!"

"In just four sentences, the world, all living things, and all living beings are vividly written. This is definitely a good poem!" Zhao Ke, who was born in the Zhao royal family, spoke highly of this poem!

Hearing the words of admiration and analysis, all the ministers couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the quality of the poem.

"What do you love ladies think?" Ying Chang looked at the officials on both sides with a smile on his face and smiled.

"Eternal quatrains!"

"Master Yang is a great talent in this world!"

"Nice poem!"

"As Concubine Ning said, perfect!"

Hundreds of officials spoke up one after another, highly appreciating Yang Ze.

Ying Chang turned his head to look at Yang Xiao and gave Yang Xiao a look. Yang Xiao immediately nodded understandingly, and immediately looked at Baiguan with a kind smile on his face and said, "Since all the aiqings have given you high praise, it means that Yang Aiqing's poem belongs to the You, Your Majesty said just now that as long as you write an excellent poem within half a stick of incense, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, Xi Yang, and people will prepare money and send it to the Yang Mansion after the New Year's event is over!"

Yang Ze knelt down on his knees with joy on his face, kowtowed and kowtowed: "I thank your majesty, empress, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, empress empress!"

"Stay flat, next one!" Yang Xiao raised his hand dignifiedly and generously.

Next, Yang Ze returned to his seat. Immediately afterwards, another minister took the initiative to stand up and write poems. After finishing one after another, only six ministers finally stood up and wrote poems. The rest of the ministers did not dare to stand up and write poems. Here, the poetry writing program of the New Year's Gala came to a hasty end, and it took two quarters of an hour!

After the poetry show, there are dancers dancing and playing music. These dancers are the royal dancers of the imperial palace. Among them are many beautiful Hun women.

After the dancers danced and played music, it was drama. Ying Chang was no stranger to drama. At the beginning, he had watched the drama with Min Qing for seven years, and even watched too much. Ying Chang could still hum a few words.

However, watching a drama now is completely different from watching a drama 20 years ago. The former looked down at the palace, drinking and chatting unscrupulously, without any worries, and enjoying the life that an emperor should enjoy. The latter is like sitting on a needle blanket and walking on thin ice. Act on face.

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a full reservation, and ask for a reward!"

Chapter 765 The world is united!

It's the hour of the hour!

The New Year's event has lasted for an hour. In an hour, Fengtian Temple has experienced hundreds of officials composing poems, dancers playing music and dancing, and actors with big faces playing and singing. After experiencing all these, the New Year's event has gone halfway.

"Your Majesty, please move out of the palace!"

The organizer of the New Year's event, Pei Ji, stood up from his seat, bowed down to salute Ying Chang!

"Moving outside the hall? Why, are you going to surprise me?" Ying Chang couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty will know when you move outside the palace!" Pei Ji smiled mysteriously.

"Haha, okay, then move!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Chang took Yang Xiao's jade hand and walked down the high platform, and all the officials in the main hall got up from their seats one after another. Finally, Ying Chang, surrounded by all the officials and many concubines, princes, and princesses, walked outside Fengtian Hall. Except for the big red lanterns hanging everywhere, there is nothing surprising, and even the outside of the hall is quiet, revealing a bit of weirdness.

"What do you see here?"

"It's nothing!"

"What is Commander Pei going to do?"

"Who knows!"

All the officials saw the quiet outside the hall and nothing unusual happened, so they couldn't help talking.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

In vain at this time, there were bursts of sharp piercing sounds, and Dingqing looked around, and saw countless fireworks shooting up into the sky, heading straight to the sky. When a large number of fireworks exploded in the silent night sky, they immediately burst into colorful fireworks , so that the entire sky of Xianyang City is shining with colorful flashes.

Ying Chang didn't know how many fireworks Pei Ji used. He only knew that in the huge city of Xianyang, there were countless fireworks shooting out of the sky. !

The scene is shocking!

This shocking scene also awakened the sleeping people. A large number of people walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky. When they saw the beautiful fireworks all over the sky, every citizen couldn't help showing a bright smile. The fireworks flashed colorful flashes , It also shines on the faces of every common people, so that countless people can clearly see the happy smiles of the people next to them.

Just when everyone was shocked by this, Pei Ji, who was standing next to Ying Chang, bent his right knee, knelt down on one knee with a solemn expression and shouted: "Your Majesty, within ten days, the whole city will be decorated with a million fireworks. Congratulations to the great fortune of the Qin Dynasty, like a million fireworks, I wish the Great Qin Dynasty eternal prosperity, long-term peace and prosperity, hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile!"

"call!"

There was a neat sound of kneeling, and all the officials were kneeling on the ground, including Yang Xiao and other concubines in the harem, as well as the descendants of the royal family such as Yingbei, all of them shouted in unison with solemn expressions: "Mr. Congratulations to the Great Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, long-term peace and stability, every year has its present, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The corners of Ying Chang's mouth curled up, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He immediately bent down, supported Pei Ji with one hand, patted Pei Ji's shoulder gently, and said, "I have a heart!"

"As long as His Majesty likes it!" Pei Ji bowed down solemnly and said.

Ying Chang turned around with a smile on his face, looked down at the ministers kneeling at his feet and said: "It is unimaginable for countless people that the Great Qin Dynasty can come to this day, even I did not expect it. In just 20 years, Great Qin has grown from a small country in the western corner to become the current overlord of Kyushu!"

"I ascended the throne at the age of five, and took charge of the government at the age of 12. When I ascended the throne, Daqin was still in good weather, with no worries inside and outside, but there were no natural disasters, but there were disasters. During the seven years that I did not take charge of the government, I was humiliated, ridiculed, play!"

"It is precisely because of these humiliations, ridicules, and teasing that I understand a truth. To be born like an ant, you should have great ambitions, and your life is thinner than paper, and you should have an unyielding heart. A heart that is invincible will surely be able to overcome thorns and thorns, and be invincible!"

"This sentence can also be used in every dynasty. In this world where the weak prey on the strong, being weak is the greatest sin. Only being strong! can become a ruler and rule everyone in the world. This is the foundation of the dynasty's survival!"

"What I said today, you must always keep it in mind, especially my four princes, one of you will shoulder the mission of the Great Qin Dynasty. Remember, your mission is, heaven! Heaven! Great! same!!"

"Each generation of Great Qin rulers and ministers must take great harmony in the world as their highest ambition. In addition, you must remember one thing, old Qin people! Don't forget Great Harmony!!" Ying Changshen was emotional, his tone was cadenced, and his voice was full of rendering power .

Ying Chang's words can be described as inspiring, they inspired everyone, their expressions were excited, even Bai Qi, who was as cold as ice, couldn't help being moved by it. In an instant, everyone bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "I will follow your Majesty to the death, Swear to the death to complete the mission of the Great Qin Dynasty!!"

Everyone's shouts resounded throughout the palace, and even reverberated.

Ying Chang felt gratified in his heart, because he finally tied the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty into a single rope. From today onwards, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will fight to the death for the unification of the world and the unity of the world. Every generation of monarchs and ministers in the future will also shoulder this mission!

Unification first, Datong later!

Ying Chang was very relieved, Wei Shuyi, the concubine of virtue, felt a little panicked. If the Great Qin wanted to unify the world, wouldn't it mean that the Northern Wei Dynasty would be destroyed?

At this moment, Wei Shuyi really wanted to send a message, telling the emperor about the ambitions of the king and ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, so that the emperor would be ready, but the sky is far away from the emperor, and the two sides are thousands of miles away. Even if she wanted to send a message, she was unable to do so.

In addition to Wei Shuyi, the concubine of Germany, the empress of Concubine Ning, Zhao Ke, was also worried about the Great Zhao Dynasty. The emperor and ministers of the Great Qin intended to make the world unified, and the Great Zhao Dynasty must bear the brunt of it. Thinking of this, Zhao Ke thought that he did not have much time available. Now, we must act as soon as possible, otherwise Da Zhao may die before the plan is completed!

"That's the end of the conversation, let's get down!" Ying Chang said calmly.

"Your Majesty thank you, long live my emperor!" All the ministers kowtowed again, and then slowly got up from the ground.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a rather excited voice came from the crowd, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see Fang Zi standing in the crowd holding a sixth-grade ordnance order, and seeing Fang Zi suddenly raised his hand and shouted, everyone Can't help but feel puzzled, only Yang Ze smiled knowingly, as if he was ready to watch a big drama.

Ying Chang also looked at Fang Zi, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Fang Zi stood at the end of the crowd, heard Ying Chang's response, immediately passed through the crowd, walked up to Ying Chang, shook his sleeves with a rather excited expression, and knelt down on one knee to write a report: "To Your Majesty , New Year's event, I want to send a New Year's gift to His Majesty!"

Chapter 766 Ugly Cow Artillery!

"New Year's gift?" Ying Chang suddenly became interested, and a smile appeared on his face, "The happiest thing in my life is three things. The first thing is the triumphant return of the front-line army. The second thing is that Daqin The country is prosperous and the people are safe, the third thing is Fang Aiqing's gift!"

"Every time Fang Aiqing presents a gift, it is a sharp weapon of the country. For example, the gift presented last time was a rocket, which made our army take down the Great Wall of Ningta without any effort, and made the enemy think that our Qin army has the help of Vulcan. Come on, Fang Aiqing again What kind of powerful weapon has been developed!"

Ying Chang's words were not deliberately flattering, but from the bottom of his heart. He was really happy that Fang Zi offered gifts, and Fang Zi's gifts never let him down.

"Master Fang is the number one craftsman in our Great Qin, and it is really a blessing for us to have Master Fang in our Great Qin!"

"Lord Fang makes good use of the power of heaven and earth, and uses the power of the gods for his own use. If there is a god in the world, His Majesty and King Wu are one, and Lord Fang is also one!"

"Yes, it was the short crossbow developed by Mr. Fang that enabled our Qin army to turn the power of the Huns into our own, and easily conquer the Northwest Desert that has not been conquered for more than 3000 years!"

"My Great Qin swept across the northern part of Kyushu, first, relying on the generals to use their soldiers like gods, second, relying on the soldiers' desperate efforts, and third, relying on excellent equipment!"

"All the great talents in the world come from me, Qin. If Qin is not unified, who will be unified?"

All the officials showed smiles like spring breeze, and praised Fang Zi without any stinginess, which made Fang Zi feel embarrassed.

Fang Zi pulled out a blank piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Ying Chang with both hands, and said at the same time, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, this sharp weapon is a cannon jointly developed by the minister and twenty colleagues from the Ordnance Department. In the detailed data recording paper of the cannon, Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

artillery!
