The World of Yellow Sky

The palace is majestic and the breeze is gentle.

In Yingtianfu, there are many prayer flags, and flags are distributed one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of Tengxiang Guards with burqas and shawls, fully armed, stood with halberds, standing tall and straight on both sides of the road.

After all the officials of the Ming court went first, a group of envoys slowly moved forward under the guidance of the officials of the Honglu Division.

Above the watchtower and in the pavilions, there are soldiers holding halberds and wearing armor.

The bell rang again, and all the officials standing outside Chang'an Gate all stepped forward one after another.

For a moment, the clothes swayed and the footsteps echoed.

Although there have been drills in advance, dozens of times, but when it comes to this moment, all the envoys are very concerned, and some even dare not step forward.

They had never seen such a tall palace, nor had they ever seen such an imposing army.

During the day, their activities are limited to the embassy of the Honglu Division and the East City. Without permission, they cannot even enter the lifang where they live.

Only on these nights are allowed to travel and participate in the celebration.

However, the scope of its activities is only in the east and west cities, and it is not allowed to enter the workshops where residents live, nor are they allowed to enter any workshops and schools.

The soldiers of the Tengxiang Guards who guarded Yingtian Mansion were all born in the Yellow Angels, and anyone who took them out could at least be a colonel.

They have been in battle for a long time, and everyone is covered with blood. Only the most elite soldiers are qualified to join the Tengxiang Guard.

Although most of the envoys of the vassal states have seen the strength of the Ming army, Tengxiang Guard has only shown its true colors in front of a few vassal states.

Among the envoys, only the messenger of Yamatai, Nan Shengmi, had seen Tengxiang Guard before.

But he was still terrified by the Tengxiang Guard in front of him.

Just this Tengxiang Guard, I am afraid that all their countries will not be able to beat the army together.

The officials of the Honglu Division shouted twice in a row, and those who were afraid to move forward because of the shock finally stepped forward.

In front of them, the ranks of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were extremely neat.

On the other hand, even after several days of training, the envoy's team was still sparse and uneven.

This is not because of insufficient training, but because of the fear and shock in my heart.

Being able to serve as a country's envoys are all selected and selected, and they are the leading figures in their country.

But the gap between the national power, the gap between the two sides is the gap of the times, it is a real world of difference.

All the envoys were powerless. Among them, there were people who wanted to stay in the Ming Kingdom like hard rice, but there were also people who really wanted their country to be strong.

But the hope in their hearts is that after entering Chang'an, they will no longer be kneaded and crushed all the time.

Many people with lofty aspirations want to learn from Daming. They want to bring Daming's advanced culture and technology back to China, so as to enrich the country and strengthen its soldiers, and want their own country to be prosperous and strong.

They want their country to be as strong as the Ming Dynasty, or even stronger than the Ming Dynasty.

But the deeper they went into Yingtian Mansion, the heavier their hearts became.

Yingtianfu is gradually rising all the way from south to north.

The Xuanzheng Hall, the main hall of Yingtianfu, is built on the Longshouyuan at the highest point in Chang'an.

When the Xuanzheng Hall was built, a rammed earth platform was built as the foundation, which also made the Xuanzheng Hall taller.

The head of the sparse dragon is to resist the temple, and the shape is towering and precarious [jí yè].

The long beams of the male rainbow are connected by fen [fén] ridges.

All the way forward is all the way up.

Climbing up the steps is like climbing the ladder, step by step towards the palace tower in the sky.

Pass through the heavy palace gates and over the palace walls.

Along the way, the tall Xuanzheng Hall was getting closer and closer to everyone.

As they stepped on the steps one after another, their figures were lifted up by the steps.

And as the sun rose, the world gradually became brighter.

The golden sunlight fell on the towering stairs, making the eyes of the envoys bright, bathing in the sun, as if they were in the heaven.

Such a scene can only be seen in the early morning.

Different from the feeling and view of climbing a mountain.

When climbing the mountain, the surrounding vegetation blocks the view, even if you look back, the deep mountain is still shocking.

But there are too many wonders created by heaven and earth, and everyone will only marvel at the mighty power of heaven and earth, and the power of nature.

In this era, countries that can build such towering and majestic buildings have never seen such majestic and huge buildings before they came to Chang'an.

They never imagined that manpower alone could build such a magnificent building.

In the imagination of many people, even the buildings where the gods live are nothing more than this.

No wonder their lack of imagination, the palace where their lord lives is not even [-]% of the size of Yingtian Palace.

Step by step, step up, look back and look down.

The glittering Beiquezhu Palace, Qi Zhenzhen, Biwa, Zhu Liuchuochuo, and Luoluo embroidered into columns, and Yu Weiwei painted beams and carved towers.

In the halls of Yingtianfu, the roof rafters are covered with gold foil, and the doors have golden patterns.

The facades are all decorated with jade, with gilt copper shop heads, inlaid with various colored gemstones.

On top of the foundation stone stands tall wooden pillars, a purple-red floor, a glittering wall belt, and rare jade stones in between.

After they came to Chang'an, what they heard most were rumors about Xu An.

Those rumors and stories point to one thing.

The Daoist of Daming seems to be a living god.

Many of them did not believe in their hearts at first, but as their understanding deepened, their hearts were also shaken involuntarily.

If you are not a god, how can you live in the palace of a god?

If it wasn't for the gods, how could an empire span thousands of miles be established in just a few dozen years.

If not gods, how to have such a terrifying army, how to win the support of so many people.

This Daoist of Daming is a living god!
Daming is not an empire, but a kingdom of gods ruled by gods.

All the way from Chang'anmen to Yingtianfu, many envoys with lofty aspirations, the last hope in their hearts was also wiped out.

Their eyes are no longer bright, their expressions are no longer firm, they understand the gap between each other.

In their subconscious, a voice told them.

The gap between their country and Daming is not that one or two new technologies can change.

There is an entire era between them, and there is an insurmountable gap between them.

They have spent their entire lives, spent their entire lives, and absolutely never made their country cross this gap.

To defeat Daming, perhaps only Daming himself...

but……

Among the envoys, there are still some people, although they are also shocked.

But they still have expectations in their hearts and still don't want to give up.

No matter how good someone else's country is, it is also someone else's country.

Dependent on other countries, the fate of the family and the country lies in the hands of others.

The side of the couch cannot allow others to sleep soundly, how can it be a matter of life and death?

The expressions of the envoys were different, and they all had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Jiang Yu wore a red robe and walked on the side of the envoys. As the young minister of the Honglu Division, he was able to participate in the court meeting regardless of his rank or identity.

As a fourth-grade Honglu Secretary Shaoqing, he is qualified to wear a red robe, but as a deputy, he usually wears a blue robe when he works in the Honglu Division.

He vaguely looked at the expressions on the faces of the envoys, as if he wanted to see something on their faces.

Those with flickering eyes and fearful expressions, Jiang Yu's eyes just swept past them.

Those who looked envious and longed for, Jiang Yu's eyes only stayed a little.

As for those with firm looks and firm eyes, Jiang Yu engraved their faces directly in his heart and wrote down their names.

"The look of the envoy of the Che Shiguo is different, and this person needs to be remembered."

Jiang Yu's eyes stayed on the body of a messenger, and he wrote down the name of that person in his heart.

As Shaoqin, the Secretary of Honglu, he recognized the face of every envoy and remembered the name of every envoy.

In the team, not only Jiang Yu was observing the envoys, but there were also six or seven different eyes wandering in the team of the envoys.

Not all of these people are officials of the Honglu Division, but there are also the eyes of the Eagle and Wolf Guards and the military.

During these few celebrations, Jiang Yu asked a group of envoys to participate in the celebration. In fact, it was not just to show the national strength to shock and deter, but also to have the heart of temptation.

In the past few days, the whereabouts of the envoys, where did they go, who did they meet, even entered the alley, which street they went to, what did they buy, what did they eat, and what did they say? Jiang Yu is very clear.

The Eagle and Wolf Guards followed the whole process and cleaned the bottom of it.

Xu An did not relax a single point for these Fan states.

The national power of these vassal countries must be controlled within a suitable range, and must not be too strong and exceed the limit.

Once its national strength is strong, it will inevitably give birth to the heart of rebellion.

Country to country is different from person to person.

Once its national strength is strong and Ming cannot be suppressed in the frontier, it will inevitably give birth to a rebellious heart.

In order to control its national strength, suppress its development.

It is necessary to eliminate non-governors first, and at the same time suppress domestic radical forces, remove domestic talents, and limit the development potential of their country as much as possible.

Soldiers are recruited, and foreign wars consume them to weaken their country, military repression to weaken their prestige, and cultural influence to gain their hearts.

It sounds brutal, but it's the reality.

The battle for survival is brutal.

Once the success is complete, the bones will die. Similarly, the prosperity of a country is also stepped on the top of the heads of many countries.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Xu An has never been soft-hearted in dealing with the enemy.

If necessary, he is willing to bear the stigma, as long as it is good for the country.

For weakening the strength of the vassal state, Xu An does not have any burden.

And this one was actually first proposed by Xu An.

No matter how far the road is, as long as you keep moving forward, you will always reach the end.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the Daming Bell, the officials promised to enter the hall first, while the envoys were left outside the hall.

All the envoys did not dare to move, they stood tremblingly outside the hall, waiting for the summons.

There were ceremonies and music in the hall, and it seemed that someone was talking, but when they stood outside the hall, they couldn't hear what was said.

Without hearing the voice in the hall, no one dared to complain, and they were not qualified to complain.

They are just vassal states, and their identities with the Ming state are not equal.

The Ming Dynasty is the dynasty, and they are just the country.

I don't know how long it took, the tsunami-like shouts from the mountains in the hall finally stopped.

A general in military uniform stepped out of the Xuanzheng Hall, and the eyes of all the envoys were turned towards him.

The general of the Ming army unfolded the edict in his hand and called out loudly.

"Xuan, the envoys of all countries enter the hall to meet the emperor!"

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of yellow angels called in unison, resounding in the ears of everyone like the voice of a fairy.

"Xuan, the envoys of all countries enter the hall to meet the emperor!!"

"Xuan, Wan Guo..."

In the Xuanzheng Hall, hundreds of officials stand, jade watts are embroidered with gold, and the classes are neatly arranged.

Twenty-four bronze furnaces correspond to twenty-four provinces, and are arranged on both sides of the Xuanzheng Hall, and plumes of white smoke flow out of the copper furnaces.

Only a few of the white smoke flowing out of the copper furnace rose upward, and most of the smoke and dust from the copper furnace flowed to the ground, and it was like flowing water, flowing past the feet of everyone.

Entering the Xuanzheng Hall, the mist is misty.

It's like being in the clouds, in the kingdom of God.

These are common things for the civil and military officials in Daming, but for all the envoys, it is like a fantasy.

The white mist is heavy, flowing at the feet of everyone.

How could the clouds floating above the sky sink to the ground!
On the left are a group of civil servants in robes with awe-inspiring eyes.

On the right are a group of generals in military uniforms with murderous aura.

Xu An wears the Taiqing fishtail crown and the twelve-chamber coat of arms, and sits on top of the alchemy.

The golden light shone into the temple, the clouds and mists fluttered, misty between the beams of light, and surrounded by Xu An, Xu An was as majestic as a god in the sky.

When the envoys stepped in, they were all in their hearts, but at this time they were even more frightened.

Some people were extremely frightened, trembling and pale, shaking uncontrollably, and even their teeth were chattering.
"Boom-"

A muffled sound was particularly clear.

Everyone looked at the sound, only to see a white-faced envoy dressed in a vassal, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

No one laughed at him, no one said anything, and all the envoys couldn't be calm.

The kneeling messenger set off a chain reaction that made the envoys forget their previous drills.

Involuntarily, the envoys fell to the ground, buried their heads deeply, and bent down, but they did not dare to forget to say the words of surrender.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, the voices of the envoys also sounded.

"The envoys of the country, pay tribute to the emperor of the Shangguo——"

Under His Majesty Dan, Yan Zhong slowly unfolded the edict in his hand as if he did not see the gaffes of the envoys.

The edict said:

"Fengtian transports it, manages all the people of the zodiac, Haiqi Mountain, all of them are my children..."

"Because of the disappointment of the world and the trust of Shunyu, I raised the flag of righteousness to clear the evil spirits. It connects Baiyue in the south, the ice ocean in the north, Congshan in the west, and the sea in the east.

"The four seas are Changping, the world is unified..."

"...Under the Putian, is it the king's land, the coast of the land, is it the king's minister!"

"Yu Xi, our country is benevolent and kind, and those who are obedient and obedient are always helpless."

"Yiwu is vigorous, and those who jump from the beam will be killed even if they are strong."

"Don't go beyond your ambitions and show punishment, and keep your righteousness in order to enjoy peace."

"Announce it to the world, and let the salt know it."

"Like the law!"
