reborn monarch

On the New Year's Eve in the 17th year of Qiyuan, it was the time for the reunion of thousands of families, but there was no hustle and bustle in the land of China. Everyone, either guarded by the radio at home, or gathered in the square with loudspeakers. It was the first time I listened to the radio, and it was the personal words from Emperor Qiyuan.

This is the famous "Qiyuan Radio Speech" in later generations. This radio broadcast was not only the first for the emperor to face the people directly, but also the beginning of Dachu's complete path of constitutional monarchy and reform of the state system.

In this speech, Emperor Qiyuan announced that the name of the country should be changed to Zhonghua, with the dragon as the emblem and the elegant music as the music. .

What shocked future generations the most was that in his speech, Emperor Qiyuan clarified the follow-up path to suppress the imperial power.

"... Qin Huang, Han Wu, great achievements are difficult to describe in detail; Shang Zhou is strict, violent and incomprehensible. In the 5000 years of our country, the good emperor may not benefit the people, the tyrant must kill, the rise and fall of the people suffer, no one generation can jump Breaking away from the cycle of ups and downs, the ups and downs of the country's fate is actually tied to one person, and I think this kind of system, like the current Huaguo that is changing its face everywhere, has come to change with the times."

"...Looking at the world horizontally, looking at the past and the present, any country that is ahead of the world must be sailing with the current, instead of going against the trend of the times and following the old ways."

"...I hope that one day, everyone will be equal in personality, law-abiding and civilized everywhere. At that time, I, or my successor king, will only be a citizen of the Hua Kingdom. Before the law, I will be no different from all living beings."

"...For this reason, I will do my best with the King of Yan, and while governing China with the cabinet ministers led by Prime Minister Xie Jiuyuan, we will devote ourselves to perfecting the Xian law, promoting democracy, improving people's livelihood, and protecting the people |Quan, the ultimate goal is to return political |power. In the end, the emperor exists as a symbol of the country and does not hold real power. "

"Finally, citizens from all over the country, Gu Zhen is in Miyagi, wishing you all a happy New Year's Eve."

……

When the ending music sounded, the entire land of China fell into disbelief. Everyone, no matter what their identities and status, were talking with those around them, repeating their shock and astonishment. Gradually, these shocks and The astonishment gradually gave birth to different emotions.

It seems that tonight, they are no longer farmers and pawns being shouted at by others, but citizens who are congratulated by His Majesty for the new year.

This kind of identity gave everyone a strange sense of pride, and because of this sense of pride, they also aroused their understanding of self and self-esteem.

This radio talk was like a shooting star, setting sparks on the land of Kyushu. Changes are accumulated from small details. Over time, these little sparks will surely become a prairie fire and burn Kyushu.

However, at this moment, Emperor Qi Yuan, who left the radio equipment, faced the silence of Yi Yu's study.

No one dared to make irresponsible remarks on Emperor Qiyuan's bold remarks just now, and no one dared to express their approval to Emperor Qiyuan. After a moment of silence, Mr. Fran, who came from a foreign country, was the first to salute Emperor Qiyuan. He took off his top hat and said to Emperor Qiyuan in non-standard official language: "My lord, you have a pure soul and boundless wisdom. You are the most noble person I have ever seen."

It was only then that Yushufang seemed to come alive. Amidst the sound of praise, Gu Zhen responded simply: "Thank you, Mr. Fran."

He left the imperial study and returned to the East Nuan Pavilion, and entered the Small Buddha Hall.

He habitually cleaned his hands and burned incense, then walked into the secret passage, and a few minutes later, he stepped into the brightly lit underground palace.

Seeing the arrival of Emperor Qiyuan, all the Jinyi guards knelt down on one knee in order to welcome the emperor.Emperor Qiyuan walked through the middle path, took the throne of God, and sat down with his robe waved.

"You have worked hard."

This was the first sentence after Emperor Qi Yuan took his seat.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the responsibilities of the ministers and others, and I dare not take it upon myself!"

The neat answers reverberated in the underground palace, the momentum was magnificent, there were less than a hundred people, but they seemed like an invincible master.

"From tomorrow onwards," Emperor Qiyuan said coldly, "Jinyiwei will be disbanded from the public and transferred underground to continue to protect the royal family and supervise all officials. Every one of you, including those who will be added in the future, all information does not exist in this world. Cabinet Prime Minister Xie Jiuyuan, Dali Temple Minister Jiang Zaidao, Zhen, and the Crown Prince know of your existence. Are you willing to become the blade of surveillance in the shadow of Huaguo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a neat answer came from below.

"Your Majesty, I swear to protect His Majesty to the death! I swear to serve Huaguo to the death!"

Faced with such a firm answer, Emperor Qi Yuan did not give a reward, but stood up in battle, and said flatly: "Then, the first task you have transferred to the secret is also a new permanent task you added, that is to train personnel to familiarize themselves with the current situation. Countries around the world, some of them are sent out as people|stakes to stay in other countries forever, in case of emergency, and the other part enters the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then sends other countries to station to deliver news for China."

"I'm waiting for orders!"

Emperor Qi Yuan walked out of the underground palace, followed the secret passage out of the small Buddhist hall, returned to the sleeping hall, waved away the three treasures, and sat on the couch, seemingly full of thoughts, and seemed to be thinking nothing, just sitting there.

Sanbao was very anxious. After all, it was New Year's Eve. His Majesty had been busy preparing for the radio talk for a day. Now that the business was done, his worries should be gone. Why didn't he even have dinner?By the way, tonight is a reunion dinner!

"The Prime Minister is here!"

As soon as Sanbao heard the news, he immediately went up to him in three steps and two steps, looked at Xie Jiuyuan like a savior, and without waiting for Xie Jiuyuan to speak, he immediately complained: "Master Xie, Your Majesty doesn't eat."

Xie Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows, nodded to him, and pushed the door open to enter the bedroom. After a while, a man wrapped in a cloak came out, "Eunuch Sanbao, I'll take him to dinner."

"Nonsense! Let me down," Gu Zhen tugged at the front of Xie Jiuyuan's improved official robe, his mouth still serious.

Presuming Sanbao didn't hear it, Ma Liuer responded: "Go slowly, it's going to snow, watch your feet carefully, don't fall your Majesty."

"Don't worry," Xie Jiuyuan hugged him neatly to clear the way, while Gu Zhen put his face close to his chest and remained motionless.

Walking all the way to the stables, since Gu Zhen announced that Miyagi would no longer make eunuchs, the palace gradually became quieter, and a few people asked to leave the palace, but they all signed a contract called a confidentiality agreement, and they were not allowed to disclose any information about Miyagi. , otherwise you will be imprisoned. Now the household registration is clear at a glance, and there will be no eunuchs who are bold enough to fight against Miyagi.

That's why Xie Jiuyuan hugged someone so blatantly and left.

After riding on the black flood dragon, he arrived at Xie's mansion not long after.

Contrary to what Gu Zhen thought, Xie Jiuyuan didn't take him to the side hall to meet Mrs. Xie for dinner, but took him directly back to his yard.

"What the hell is going on?" Xie Jiuyuan put Gu Zhen on the couch covered with a thick blanket, and asked while pressing him.

Gu Zhen didn't answer, and stuffed his hands that had been blown by the wind into Xie Jiuyuan's lapel. Xie Jiuyuan was so cold that he shivered. Amused, he looked at the blanket, and his eyes slowly became empty again. Open up the wisdom of the people and speed up the progress, but on the one hand, you must not let the people be too radical. If you want to save your own life, you must use some means... I know this is a dead end, I just..."

He shifted his gaze to Xie Jiuyuan's eyes, "You know, I'm just such an awkward person, don't worry about me, I'll pass it when I think about it, and it'll be fine." After finishing speaking, he ticked off Xie Jiuyuan The corner of his mouth signaled that Xie Jiuyuan really didn't have to worry, and said, "Let's go, reunion tonight, let's go to accompany my mother for dinner."

Xie Jiuyuan was about to laugh angrily at him, but immediately sullen his face, looking angry.

Gu Zhen had seen him get angry with his subordinates, and knew that he was really angry when he didn't speak, so he panicked all of a sudden.

How precious Xie Jiuyuan is to Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen knows best, he has never seen Xie Jiuyuan really angry with him in two lifetimes, Xie Jiuyuan's face is sinking in front of him, Gu Zhen can't even think clearly, he just asks "what's wrong with you?" ".

But Gu Zhen was already in a bad mood, no matter how determined a person is, he is weak in front of his lover, and he didn't know what happened to Xie Jiuyuan all of a sudden, he asked Xie Jiuyuan a few times and didn't answer, he felt wronged immediately, and his anger came from his heart , grabbed Xie Jiuyuan's front and pulled it down, and yelled at him angrily: "How can you be angry with me! I won't allow it! Did you hear that, don't be angry with me!"

With his proud and careful appearance like this, Xie Jiuyuan immediately felt distressed, and there was nothing he could do about Gu Zhen.

Xie Jiuyuan pretended to be angry and bluffed him: "Don't move."

Gu Zhen glared at him, but still complied.

Xie Jiuyuan took three steps at a time, walked out the door and ordered Wangcai to inform Mrs. Xie, and then passed a table of food over, then immediately turned around, unable to pretend anymore, hugged Gu Zhen in his arms, and coaxed: "You In this way, how can I still let you go out to eat, the two of us will have dinner here during the Chinese New Year, okay?"

It was only then that Gu Zhen figured it out. Xie Jiuyuan was angry that he didn't take himself seriously, his ears turned red immediately, and he was very happy. All those entanglements just now were thrown away, so he felt that Xie Jiuyuan was too worried, and said: "When I accompany my mother to dinner, the table is full of family members, and there is no need to pretend, otherwise let's go out to eat."

Xie Jiuyuan didn't speak, but stared at him playfully.

If it was only the Xie family, Xie Jiuyuan wouldn't have to think too much about it, but Xie Jingqing, Qin Jian and Xie Shishi were all there. According to Gu Zhen's character, it would be strange not to insist on being courteous and amiable. He knew Gu Zhen too well. In front of him, Gu Zhen absolutely refused to let himself show his emotions, let alone let others see that he was in a bad mood.

Gu Zhen was embarrassed by Xie Jiuyuan's stare, hugged Xie Jiuyuan's neck, and refused to speak any more.

When the food and drinks were served outside, Mrs. Xie specially asked Wangcai to bring the unnecessary instructions and the New Year's money to be delivered. Gu Zhen smiled on Xie Jiuyuan's neck like a little mouse who stole oil, "Jiulang, I was taken care of by you and your mother." Indulging in relatives is becoming more and more disrespectful, and the years are in vain, how will life be better in the future?"

"Of course it's all good." Xie Jiuyuan picked him up and walked outside, as if coaxing a child, with a lazy tone, "Who dares to say that Yuntang is not good? Huh? My mother and I will help you beat him up."

Gu Zhen just laughed.

This night, Emperor Qiyuan did not return to the palace, and spent the year in Xie's mansion. Later generations speculate that Emperor Qiyuan deliberately showed his favor in order to close the alliance with Premier Xie, or further discussed with Premier Xie about the plan to retire. In fact, the two of them Just relying on each other to have a reunion dinner, and then hug each other to sleep.

Emperor Qiyuan's radio speech aroused great repercussions both at home and abroad, and there were many undercurrents in the country. In July of the same year, overseas local wars broke out, alliances and agreements ended one after another, and soon fell into a melee. Protecting oneself alone will inevitably attract the covetousness of wolves.

In September, Emperor Qiyuan announced the military parade, and the time was set in the golden autumn of October.

When it's time to intimidate, it's better to show your fists.
