Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 990
In the end, Qingji temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​digging the Grand Canal.

Just like Wen Zhong said.

The world is pre-determined, and all wastes are waiting for prosperity. Qingji can't ignore all the people in the world for his own great achievements.

"Your Majesty, these are the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem sent by the scholars. After voting by the scholars, the ones with the highest number of votes were selected. Please take a look at them, Your Majesty."

As Wen Zhong spoke, he handed the prepared memorial to Qingji for reading.

Not only that, Wenzhong also specially prepared several different national flags and national emblems, and put them on the table for Qingji to choose one by one before making a decision.

The national flag, national emblem, and national anthem are basically produced by the state through sea elections, Jixia Academy and private scholars, and then voted for.

The national emblem is basically a class of birds and animals, which are very beautifully carved.

Qingji chose one that was pleasing to the eye.

On the national emblem, there are lifelike dragons and phoenixes, hovering among the floating clouds, stepping on the axe, and the background color is golden.

Looking at the other details, Qingji felt that the national emblem was similar to the national emblem of the Chinese Empire established by Yuan Datou later.

There are also many styles of the national anthem, and five were selected.

The two preparatory national anthems that made Qingji feel tangled, one was "The Great Wu Xiong Li Universe", and the other was "Qing Yunge".

"The great Wu Xiong stands in the universe, the outline is eight long, the Huazhou comes from the top of Kunlun, the rivers and rivers are mighty and the mountains are endless, and the Xunhua bows to the Yaotian, hundreds of millions of years!"

"The second and third sons think that this song is my national anthem, how about it?"

Faced with Qingji's question, all the ministers couldn't help but looked at each other, lost in thought.

Kong Qiu thought for a while and raised an objection.

"Your Majesty, I think that although this "Great Wu Xiong Li Universe" is majestic and has the aura of domineering, it lacks some charm after all."

Kong Qiu frowned and said, ""Qing Yun Ge" is different. "Qing Yun Ge" is said to be a poem sung by all the officials and Emperor Shun when Emperor Shun, who had retired from his achievements, gave the throne to Yu, who had made great achievements in water control. edited."

"The language is simple, the sentences are simple, the rhythm is short, bright and smooth, and in the form of 'song', it is in line with my Great Wu's advocacy of virtue and the concept of a sage governing the country..."

Qingyun is rotten, and it is unadorned.

The sun and the moon are shining brightly.

It's clear that it's in the sky, but it's dead.

The brilliance of the sun and the moon shines brighter than one person.

The sun and the moon have permanence, and the stars have their movements.

From the scriptures at four o'clock, Wan's surname is Yuncheng.

Yuyu discusses music and matches the spirit of heaven.

If you move to the sages, you will listen to them.

It's like drumming, and it's like dancing.

The essence has been exhausted, and the clothes are gone.

This is the adapted "Qing Yunge", which is indeed in line with the popular trend.

Relatively speaking, the song "The Great Wu Xiong Li in the Universe" is not neat enough in confrontation and more than domineering, but it does not conform to the trend of the times.

"Forget it. From now on, "Qing Yun Ge" will be my national anthem of Great Wu!"

"promise!"

Qingji turned his attention to the five different national flags that had been taken out on the deck.

There are fire dragon flags, phoenix flags, five-color flags, and stars and stripes flags, basically in the same style as the national emblem.

This made Qingji not very satisfied.

It's not that Qingji doesn't like birds and beasts, but that in his opinion, the national flag should not be regulated like the national emblem, which is too cumbersome.

"What do the second and third sons think?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that this Star-Spangled Banner...is good!"

Fan Li pointed to the Star-Spangled Banner next to Qingji, and said, "This flag has extraordinary meaning."

"The five horizontal bars on the flag represent loyalty, filial piety, propriety, wisdom, and faith."

"On one side of the rectangle, there are 45 stars, representing the 45 counties of my Great Wu."

"..."

There is nothing wrong with Fan Li's statement.

However, Qingji looked at the Star-Spangled Banner in front of him, and the look on his face was really intriguing.

Isn't this similar to the flag of the modern lighthouse country?
At this time, Bo Tong guessed that Qingji might not be satisfied with the selected national flag styles, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think these national flag styles are not satisfactory."

"It's not atmospheric enough, and the meaning is average."

"Like this Star-Spangled Banner, among other things, the 45 stars represent the 45 counties of my Great Wu. However, my Great Wu may not only have 45 counties in the future, so the meaning of this flag is biased!"

It was Bo Tong who knew about Qingji.

Qingji's ambition is so great that even if he establishes a new dynasty, he may not stop his forging ahead.

Even if Qingji didn't expand his borders until he died of old age, the successor king would still follow his last wish and devote himself to launching an expansion war...

"Baby, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty requires grandeur and profound meaning in the style of the national flag, it can also be easily drawn by the people of the country. In my opinion, you might as well use red as the background color to draw the sun, moon and stars!"

"good."

Qingji is very satisfied.

In fact, Qingji had long thought about the style of the national flag.

So under the comments of the ministers, Qingji asked people to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones, brushes and paints, and did it himself, and drew the style of the national flag of Wu on the scroll——

Crimson is the background color, and the left third is surrounded by a full sun, a crescent, and seven stars, all of which are golden.

The sun and the moon represent the emperor, and the seven stars represent loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, with profound meanings.

"This flag is named 'Sun Moon Star Flag', and it is the national flag of my Great Wu!"

"promise!"

……

The time has entered the 33rd year of Wu Wang Qingji (the 33rd year of the First Emperor), that is, 481 BC, the first day of the first month.

Qingji held a grand Imperial Ceremony in Jinling, officially proclaiming himself emperor.

After the tedious and solemn ceremony was completed, it was announced that Qingji became the first emperor in Chinese history——

First Emperor.

This year's Qingji, at the age of 53, has fulfilled his lifelong wish, making the world adored and the world united.

Qingji was wearing twelve crowns and black and red-striped imperial costumes. He stood on the nine-foot-tall altar, holding the Longyuan sword in his hand. After looking around for a week, he saw hundreds of thousands of subjects , said in a loud voice: "I am the first emperor, and the future generations will be counted, the second and third generations will be passed down to the eternal world, and the legend will be endless!"

"I will rule the six lands and the eight wastelands, and the world will be unified. I will build the Great Wall to town the dragon veins of Kyushu, defend my Great Wu, and protect my community!"

"I swear this oath in the name of the First Emperor!"

"I am here, I will guard the land and open up the frontier, wipe out the barbarians, and establish the foundation of my great Wu forever!"

"When I die, I will also transform into a dragon soul, and protect me in China forever!"

"This oath, the sun and the moon are proofs, the heaven and the earth learn from each other, and the immortals, devils and gods listen to it!"

As soon as the words fell, countless subjects of Great Wu knelt down around the altar, and loudly shouted with heroism: "Your Majesty, Wannian! Great Wu, Wannian!"

"Your Majesty, Wannian! Great Wu Wannian!"

The huge sound wave rushed to the sky, resounded through the entire Jinling, echoed on both sides of the river, and lasted for a long time!
