Destiny Only Han

Chapter 807 Liu Ying: Open it!
Changle Palace.

In the twilight of the morning, the civil and military officials and kings of meritorious service who had been waiting for an hour or two on the palace gate square lined up in a few rows, and walked orderly and silently to the distance. Xuanshi hall.

They climbed up the long steps, but seeing white jade as beams, emeralds as tiles, cornices and corners, resplendent and resplendent, even Cao Can, Zhang Cang and others who were used to seeing Xuanshi Palace in the past suppressed their smiles, with expressions on their faces. Become solemn and solemn.

And behind them, those Gong Hou who rarely returned to Guanzhong and the big officials in the frontier were even more excited, breathing faster, and their beards were trembling.

This corresponds to what Xiao He said to Liu Ying back then, and the husband and the son of heaven are his home everywhere, and there is no majesty without magnificence!
Today is the New Year's Grand Court Meeting in the third year of the Great Sage. As in previous years, the feudal officials and kings from all over the country gathered in Chang'an, and the number of foreign envoys and princes who came to pay homage to the Son of Heaven was much more than last year. few.

It's just that although the robes are of different colors, without exception, they are all shivering with cold.

Fortunately, most of the old ministers were of high authority and had the qualifications to sit in the Xuanshi Hall to celebrate the New Year. Therefore, when they sat cross-legged, they suddenly felt a wave of heat conduction from the bottom to the top, dispelling the chill in their bodies.

In a short while, in the solemn and solemn Shaoyue, Liu Bang sat on the imperial court, wearing his favorite set of crimson uniforms, and slowly entered the main hall. Sitting beside him was a man in a big The red queen's auspicious costume, Lu's pheasant without too many accessories on his head.

On the way, unlike Liu Bang who frequently waved to the veterans around him, Lu Zhi had a solemn expression and a dignified manner. When the corners of her lips rose slightly, there was a special kind of terrifying beauty that could hardly be described in words. The kind of awesome and admirable beauty that makes people have to surrender and obey orders in their hearts.

When Liu Bang led Lu Zhi slowly to the top of Danbi and sat facing south, the voice of the audience was drawn out, and the relay of the voice of Lu Chuan sounded.

"Mountain hoo--"

"Long live Long live Long live……"

At this moment, not only hundreds of people in the Xuanshi Hall were prostrating and kowtowing, extending from the entrance of the hall to the palace gate, nearly ten thousand people also prostrated themselves on the ground at the same time, singing their praises!
This is imperial power, supreme, no matter who you are, the only choice is to kneel on the ground and worship!

Liu Bang looked as usual, but his heart was full of excitement. He was satisfied with this new ceremony, and he was even more satisfied with Liu Ying.

Well, the big man ruled the world with filial piety, and now Liu Bang, who has abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, only has such a chance to show off once a year, so naturally Liu Ying will not compete with him.

The most important thing is that Liu Ying knows one thing, that is, the best show is to come, no matter what the occasion is, did the person with the most noble status appear at the first time?
Therefore, when the shouts gradually stopped and Shao Le rang out again, Liu Ying appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Today, he is wearing the latest emperor's new clothes...

Well, to be precise, it is a crown suit.

Although it is still Xuanyi clothes, the whole body is composed of crown, Xuanyi, clothes, Bailuo belt, yellow knees, plain gauze middle single, red skirt, etc., and the colors also maintain black and red. Thread embroidery style, but in order to highlight the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty, red borders are decorated on the collar, cuffs and hem of the clothes.

So as soon as he appeared on the stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But Liu Ying felt that many people's eyes were actually looking at his side.

There was Lu Yu, who was wearing the same style of empress robes as Lu Zhi's, but with bright rubies of all sizes inlaid on the phoenix crown on his head.

If Lu's pheasant is a bright sun that can soar into the sky like Liu Bang, then Lu Yu, who is sitting on the top of the imperial palace, is undoubtedly as bright as a bright moon.

At this moment, she and Liu Ying are side by side, it really looks like the sun and the moon are shining together, setting off each other!
Therefore, there was no trace of obscenity or distraction in the eyes of those staring at her, only admiration, only praise!
She deserves to be the daughter of King Yan!
Worthy of being the Queen of the Empire!
It's just that many Fengpei heroes shook their heads invisibly and sighed in their hearts.

The little girl they watched growing up has now become the queen of the mother's world, full of majesty, but she is a little thinner, not as plump and luxurious as a prosperous dynasty should have...

So, is there no food for people in the palace?

But in the next second, they immediately felt relieved. After all, Lu Yu was still a little girl, and when she gave birth to a child, she would naturally become plump.

So, these old guys who dared to fight with Liu Bang when they were drunk, looked at Lu Wan with a little more banter...

They had more or less heard about Lu Wan crying when Lu Yu got married. If his precious daughter had a big belly, wouldn't the old guy die of anger?

But they obviously thought too much, Lu Wan's face was full of pride at the moment, wishing to raise her head above the beam...

The little girl who was crawling all over the floor and babbling is now the queen of the Han Empire, her mother is well-mannered and well-mannered. Although that bastard is lustful and greedy, without him, my daughter would not be where she is now. Honor!

Therefore, the old guy is now afraid that Liu Ying will not do whatever he wants...

After all, in a feudal society, it was a taboo for a queen to have no children, and daughter slaves would usually change their minds at this time, wanting to hug their grandson who inherited a quarter of her blood as soon as possible...

In the hall, Yu Huan slowly stopped under Majesty Dan, and Liu Ying handed the long sword in her arms to Han Tan behind her, and in the midst of the melodious voice of Shao Le, it was the first time she attended such a big scene. And Lu Yu, who was trembling slightly, slowly walked up the stairs.

So the voice of Lu Chuan started again.

"Mountain hoo--"

"Long live Long live Long live……"

This time, the voices outside the Xuanshi Hall were even louder than when Liu Bang ascended to Danbi.

Without him, most of the foreign envoys and rulers who came to the pilgrimage did not know Liu Bang, and Liu Bang was the Supreme Emperor, so he had no chance to deal with them. Unlike Liu Ying, as the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, he would throw coins after the pilgrimage... …

So, Liu Ying is happy, and the money is big!
As for those middle- and lower-level officials whose food salary is below [-] shi, who are not qualified to enter the Xuanshi Palace, it is a little more complicated.

Most of them are Zuoer officials who came from Dahan Public School. Although Liu Bang claimed the identity of a principal, they knew very well that it was what made them what they are today. This is an opportunity for the highest power center of the Han Empire!

In particular, in the past two years, Liu Ying has followed the principle that those who are capable go up and those who are mediocre go down. There is basically a one-vote veto system for officials who fail the year-end assessment. Opportunity for Zhengyin officials!

Therefore, Liu Ying's body is not only tied to the great Han Empire, but also the rise and fall of them and their descendants!
So their shouts of long live at this moment are completely from the heart.

They sincerely hope that the peer who sits on the altar and brings them a future with infinite possibilities, whose face is covered by the crown, can live forever!

"Long live Long live Long live……"

"Long live Long live Long live……"

The sound shook the sky, and the shouts like mountains and tsunami spread into the hall, making the faces of Cao Can, Wang Ling, Zhang Cang and other founding generations solemn, and making Peng Yue, Liu Jiao, Wu Chen and other kings with the same or different surnames stunned. Liu Bang above was also slightly moved.

Brat... Liu Bang muttered in his heart, a little bit jealous, but also sincerely proud.

Han, will never perish in the second generation!

This dynasty that he created by himself and successfully handed over to his son will be passed on for hundreds of thousands or even thousands of years!

Even if the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, even if the sky is falling apart, as long as there is human civilization, the big man will definitely exist forever!

Han style will last forever!
Liu Ying's face was normal, she just sat upright, as if she didn't hear the shouts of the crowd at this moment.

Well, he pretended.

However, he was not touched in his heart, but felt pain in his heart.

Paper money is also money. Although it will be discounted when returning cash to foreigners, most of the time he just accepts gifts and does not entertain guests...

Therefore, when the Han officials finished their congratulations and the envoys and princes of Fanbang appeared in the hall of Xuanshi with a crowd of people, even Liu Bang, who always liked to be lively, was stunned.

"Why so many?"

Well, he came to Changle Palace from Weiyang Palace, and he took the covered bridge connecting the two palaces, so he didn't see the overcrowded scene in the square in front of Changle Palace.

"Of course, this is why I strictly require only one person from each small country." Liu Ying muttered in a voice that could only be heard by him and Liu Bang.

"Where are there so many small countries?" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It would be great if they were unified..."

Look, now you all know what a war madness is... Liu Ying spread her hands: "I have to do it, I can't..."

Liu Bang frowned:
"Is it the other way around? Naigong remembers that this is what Mencius said."

"If you don't want to do it, you can't do it. Therefore, the king's not being a king is not because of the Taishan Mountain to surpass the North Sea; the king's not being a king is like breaking a branch..."

Look, this is the person who urinates in the crown of Confucianism on the surface, but cites scriptures 6 times better than me... Liu Ying complained in her heart, shaking her head invisibly:

"I didn't say anything against it, I just learned it and put it into practice."

"Father, you know that this world is infinitely more complicated than what is marked on my "Kan Yu Wan Guo Tu", especially when going south to the sea, there are many islands, and going west to the sea, there are countless foreign tribes."

"If you want to unify them, it will take hundreds of years to be as strong as a big man!"

"Besides, we can't manage it."

"That's why I have always used equal means to obtain the ownership of natural harbors, fertile estuaries, and mine forest farms, and then help those tribes settle and live, so that the light of civilization of the Han Empire can shine in their hearts..."

Well, what he didn't say is that the fighting power of the natives in Southeast Asia is actually very high.

For example, the Europeans at the same time easily beat the Mayan, Aztec, Inca and other aborigines in Central America, but when they arrived in the Southeast Asian countries, they were hanged and beaten by the local aborigines. Even Magellan, who claimed to be the first to complete the voyage around the world, died. Under the poison darts of the natives, it was his deputy who completed the global voyage and sent his body back to Europe...

At that time, the aborigines had been educated by the Song and Ming Dynasties for a long time, and they were already a little unbearable, but in today's Han Dynasty, those guys are the real barbarians, who are not afraid of death, and can endure even worse conditions. environment.

Once you start a war with them and don't complete your efforts, you will face their endless reprisals and harassment in the future.

Therefore, Liu Ying adopted the principle of using both suppression and appeasement, carrots and sticks.

For those tribes that are so barbaric that they cannot communicate with each other, they will unite with other tribes on the island to encircle and suppress them. For those tribes that are relatively civilized and willing to embrace civilization, let them kneel down and call Dad, and then harvest the vassal state...

Most of the time, you can't chew too much, and the result of forcibly eating a fat person is to shatter into pieces.

Therefore, rotten land is useless, as long as you occupy the ports along the trade route, the rest can be developed by the natives themselves, and they will pick peaches when the time is right...

After all, in the winter of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, after the fall of the Western Chu founded by Xiang Yu, the Han Dynasty came out of the state of all-out war and began to recreate a new and prosperous dynasty in the ashes of the late Qin Dynasty.

Under Xiao He's national policy of cultivating and living with the people, the nationwide baby boom began to come the next year, and then it got out of hand!
the reason is simple.

At this time, there were no contraceptive measures, and after dark, the only entertainment for ordinary people was to lie on the bed and start making people in different ways...

With corn, a high-yield crop that can be eaten by humans and used to raise poultry and livestock, and with the blessing of a lot of prerequisites such as composting, iron farm tools, and the two-cropping system a year, ordinary people's enthusiasm for having children Also more and more high.

Anyway, if you can afford it, it will be a lottery...

Well, the more important reason is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are unowned wastelands everywhere. Whoever gives birth to a son who is an adult first can legally convert public land into grant land from the government!
Especially in rural areas, families with a small population will inevitably be bullied by their neighbors. The important thing is that the status of women is not low at this time. It is common for sons-in-law to help the father-in-law's family fight with others, so there is no such thing as The status quo of killing female babies.

It is now the third year of the Great Sage, and the population born from the nationwide baby boom in the fifth year of the Great Han Dynasty is only sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, and has just grown up.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the population of the Han Kingdom will inevitably expand to a terrifying number, and then will be the moment when it will truly sweep the world.

So, just wait quietly.

So facing Liu Ying's very hypocritical rhetoric, Liu Bang just curled his lips: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Liu Ying also curled her lips: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway..."

Liu Bang smiled silently, and changed the subject: "Didn't you say there is a special program today? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

"Soon." Liu Ying nodded slightly to Han Tan who was standing by her side.

So, at the moment when the state banquet started, the soft and elegant Shao Le suddenly became impassioned, which made a group of old officials suddenly raise their heads and dropped their chopsticks...

At the gate of the hall, two groups of dancers with hundreds of people came rushing together, holding Ganqi feather fans, stepping on the ground and singing.

"The ancestors of the Han Dynasty were abundant, and they took advantage of their luck to leap their scales..."

"With a three-foot sword in hand, destroy Wudao Qin in the west..."

"Five-star gathering in October, four-sea guests in seven years..."

"A high-defense universe, there are people in the world..." (Note 1)

Listening to the poems and music praising him, Liu Bang winked at Lu Zhi beside him, his face full of complacency.

Lu Zhi smiled perfunctorily at him, and then whispered to Lu Yu on the other side, about the intimate conversation about body position, time, etc. Lu Yu blushed when he heard it, but peeked at Liu Yu. When I was full, I was a little eager to try...

Liu Ying just ate hot pot on her own, waiting for the next scene of dance music to be performed.

After all, he is the current emperor of the Han Empire. There is no reason to compose a dance song just to please the retired Supreme Emperor next door...

Gradually, the voice of Shaoyue changed from impassioned to majestic.

Sheng, Xiao, drums and zithers sing together, and chimes and harps are melodious.

More importantly, a group of thousands of dancers suddenly poured into the square outside the Xuanshi Hall, wearing armor and holding halberds, and even cavalry rushed back and forth.

Immediately afterwards, headlights with glass covers of various colors lit up, colorful and extraordinary.

It's a pity that today is a sunny day, no matter how bright the electric light is, it can't compare with the sunshine at noon, but this is not important, the scale of today's dance is much smaller than Liu Ying imagined, and the rehearsal time is also shorter, Roughly counted as a demo...

At this moment, the drums of war sounded along with Shao Yue.

Dancers in armor and holding halberds start to line up, circle left and right, lean first, then Wu, Yuli, goose, Jizhang, wings Shu, staggered flexion and extension, head and tail back and forth, stabbing back and forth, like a battle formation. shape.

On both sides of the dancers, actors with high voices selected from all over the world began to chant in unison.

"The imperial style of the four seas is covered with a thousand-year-old virtue; my emperor should be born, and I will succeed here..."

"The lord opened the Changli calendar, and the ministers were loyal to Dayou; after seeing the Yange, the king praised peace in unison..." (Note 2)

While Liu Ying suppressed her complacency, Zhang Liang clapped her hands and praised: "What a virtue and clear water, could it be that the prophecy of the sage of the Yellow River Qing said by the ancients should be on His Majesty the current emperor?"

But by Zhang Liang's side, the gang of princes were too lazy to agree.

Xiao He was getting old, and now he was sick at home and did not attend the grand court meeting, so Zhang Liang, among Liu Ying's two teachers, was the only one present.

So, the teacher praises his students?

Bah, shameless!
Especially Liu Ruyi's face was dark. In the past period of time, he thought about it for seven days and seven nights, but he still couldn't figure out why his Zhao Guo's income was so poor...

After all, the State of Zhao is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Although his State of Zhao no longer has the territories to the west of Taihang and the State of Zhongshan in the Dai State, it shouldn't be possible for him to receive a tax of 100 million yuan a year!
You must know that when he lived in Chang'an City, the pocket money he took from Liu Bang and his mother every year was much more than this figure!
Now watching this large-scale song and dance, he understood where his money went!

Well, you second child, and Zhao Yao, I can't spare you... Liu Ruyi gritted her molars, wanted to cry but couldn't.

Above Dan Majesty, Liu Bang suppressed the mood of running out to see the scene, but while stirring the stew pot in front of him, he looked at the simplified version in the hall with some disinterest.

It is said to be a simplified version, but in fact there are more than 200 people. The left side is a circle and the right side is a square, performing the joy after the big victory, as well as the longing for the peaceful years and the praise of Liu Ying, who inherited and created a prosperous world.

"How about it? It's okay." Liu Ying was full of praise.

"It's not bad, it's a little worse than Naigong's scene." Liu Bang replied sourly.

Then, Lu Zhi refused to agree.

"Why do you become more stingy as you get older? Is it difficult to admit that others are good? Let me tell you, this is the dance music that Lu Yu helped Liu Ying arrange. Is it much better than the dance music composed by your little boy?"

Well, the little girl she said naturally refers to Qi Ji, and the name comes from Liu Bang getting drunk a few years ago...

Liu Bang first gave Liu Ying a hard look, pretending to be expressionless, but his eyes were full of jokes, and then praised Lu Yu a lot.

Although he doesn't know choreography, it must have taken a lot of thought to come up with such a large-scale dance!
And like Liu Bang, who also expressed their incomprehension but were greatly shocked, there were Fanbang envoys and monarchs sitting in the corners of the square.

Looking at the dancers who were shuttling back and forth in front of them, they rubbed their eyes fiercely, a little in disbelief.

Is this the strong man?

Is such a mighty and majestic warrior just a dancer for people to watch?
The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed so powerful!
At this moment, a horse flew over from outside the palace gate, and the panting knight jumped off his horse, and accompanied by two heavily armed soldiers, he galloped towards the Xuanshi Palace.

Standing at the entrance of Xuanshi Hall, the Bank of China, who was ready to obey orders at any time, walked around and greeted him with small steps.

After a while, he walked in through the side door of the main hall holding a letterhead stamped with a top-secret seal, avoiding the sight of most of the courtiers, and quietly handed the letterhead in his hand to Han Tan who was walking towards him.

"The emperor's cousin is here, and the minister, Mrs. Fan, pays homage..."

"Ten days ago, the rain gradually slowed down. The locals said that the rainy season was coming to an end, and then news came from the front that the Romans continued to conquer the fortified city..."

"Although I only recruited [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, which is still far from what I expected, the Seleucids can't wait any longer, so when I send the telegram, it is the moment when the Roman Legion is about to start... ..."

"Emperor's cousin, wait for the news of my triumphant return (smiley face)..."

"Also, please be sure to order the radio stations along the way to remain on. The minister will report the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner. At the same time, I also ask the emperor's cousin to discuss with the Marquis of Huaiyin to see if he can be a counselor for the minister (wiping sweat)..."

"Sender, Yu Wenbo..."

It's a telegram, and I feel sorry for the hand of the operator... Liu Ying squinted her eyes and stood up straight.

"I'm full, you guys continue..."

In Liu Bang's bewilderment, under the nods of Lu Zhi and Lu Yu, Liu Ying walked and said to Han Tan beside him: "Let Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, Wang Ling of Marquis of Anguo, Li Shang, Marquis of Qu Zhou, and Cao Can, the Prime Minister, come to Changxin Hall to see you." I!"
