high official

Chapter 855
'Crack, crack, crack...'

After three extremely crisp cracks of the whip, the drums and music in the Forbidden City sounded together, and all the officials of the court and envoys from all nations wore court clothes and filed into the palace through the Meridian Gate.In the palace, the royal guards of honor were laid out along the royal road.The most conspicuous ones are the six elephants in gold and armor under the Danchi, and there are also pairs of rare beasts such as rhinos, four elephants, and BMWs. Five-color golden dragon banners, five-color dragon banners, double dragon yellow fan, and yellow nine-dragon umbrella ten eunuchs in python clothes.

There are also thousands of burly and majestic Han generals holding pumpkin axes and axes; thousands of golden armored guards holding guns and knives and guarding the yellow dragon banner; , xun, sheng, trifoliate, fou, stone, phase, bell, earth horn, and horn, a total of 36 musical instruments, and the Jiaofang music troupe playing Zhonghe Shaoyue... All of these show the glory of the heavenly kingdom. Wenzhiwugong shocked the minds of those foreign ministers from foreign countries.

Seeing the awe and submission in the eyes of those foreign ministers, the officials of the Ming Dynasty felt proud and proud. They finally had an intuitive understanding of the great achievements of Emperor Yongle...

When the princes and ministers, civil and military officials, and envoys from all nations stood in line in Fengtianmen Square, they played music and whips again, and kowtowed like a ceremony.

"Long live Long live Long live……"

Amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami, His Majesty Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a twelve-pronged white bead crown and a twelve-striped uniform, slowly ascended the throne under the service of eunuchs to accept the worship of his officials.

Zhu Di sat on the throne, watched thousands of courtiers bowing at his feet, and listened to the long live sound of the mountains and tsunami, his gloomy mood finally eased a little.More than ten years of hard work has finally achieved today's achievement. There is no reason for His Majesty not to enjoy the current noble scene. As for other things, let's leave it for later...

After the officials Xie En got up, Huang He looked at Zhu Di, saw the emperor nodded slightly, then walked to the front of the imperial steps, unfolded a section of yellow silk, and chanted loudly with a drawn out voice:

"Following the heaven and carrying the emperor, the emperor ordered the world to say: to start a business, to prosper the king's foundation first, to maintain the success of the body, and to manage the country. , to Zhaobangji. Sizhen inherits the great rule, and has a great career, but Huaiyong's dependents. Beijing is really a city, but it is a place of God's will. It is a matter of divination and divination. Set up the ancestral temple in the suburbs and build the palace. The first is to test the forefathers of Emperor Shaohuang and the emperor Gao; Pianzhen, now it’s done! Choose Yongle’s 17th year of the first month of the first lunar month, and hundreds of officials in the court of Fengtian Palace, give birth to a new governance, use it to Yongxi, and use it in the play! Heaven and Earth Qingning, Yan Zongshe’s blessing for thousands of years; Huayi’s appeasement, The foundation of the prosperity of the past and the present! Therefore, this is the edict, and the salty envoys will hear about it!"

"Long live, long live, long live..." The princes, ministers, and foreign envoys shouted long live again and again, expressing their strong support for the relocation of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.However, you don't have to listen carefully, you can hear that the sound of long live this time is much smaller and more chaotic than the previous two times... If you look closely, many Ming Dynasty officials have expressions of anger on their faces. Trembling all over, some people are pale, some people seem to have curse words in their mouths, and they look like they will explode at any time.The foreign envoys who watched were inexplicably surprised, some were very worried, some were indifferent, and of course some were interested in watching the excitement...

Zhu Di's face was once again shrouded in dark clouds. He had already made up his mind, whoever dared to say a word at this time without opening his eyes would be dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded immediately, and the whole family would be sent out of the customs!
However, it seems that the officials of Ming Dynasty have not forgotten the old adage that "family ugliness should not be publicized". Although their stomachs are bursting, no one put any nonsense in front of those foreign envoys.

After the announcement of the intention to move the capital, Huang He read out the rewards for princes, officials, and envoys from all over the world. Zhu Di was a very generous king, and this time the capital was moved to the Spring Festival. , all kinds of things are missing.All the courtiers were rewarded, and everyone danced again to thank them.The long live sound this time is obviously much neater and louder than the previous one!

Only Xia Yuanji, Shangshu of the Hubu, whose pale old face can scare people to death, thought that the Beijing palace was completed, and the Hubu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.I didn't expect the emperor to be so generous and generous, giving out a lot of rewards, and now the household department has to sell iron and eat food without money. I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down for a year...

.

Such red tape has been tossing from the hour of the hour to the end of the hour. The princes, officials, and envoys from all over the world got up early to participate in the ceremony. At this moment, there is no water or grain of rice, and they are dizzy and weak from hunger.Many weak people fainted on the ground and were carried out by the guards... They endured and endured until it was time for the emperor to give a banquet.Inside and outside Fengtian Hall, hundreds of tables were set up, and amidst the sound of Shao music, the officials started to eat in disregard of etiquette.

In the hall, there is the emperor, and they are all princes, ministers, and envoys from various countries, so they naturally look much more reserved.It wasn't until the emperor turned to the back to change clothes that the atmosphere in the hall became active.Wang Xian wore a first-grade earl's court dress and accompanied several envoys to the same table.I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, although Baoyin Qiqige is not at the same table as him, but the two of them are in the corner of the table, and they can meet eyes as long as they raise their heads.

Wang Xian and Baoyin were in the main hall, so they naturally pretended not to be familiar with each other, but the two of them have never been so close in the past ten days or so. inevitable.However, there was the short-sighted foreign envoy, who forgot about the defense between men and women when he drank too much, and approached with a wine glass to toast the beautiful Baoyin.

Baoyin smiled and refused the envoy, but the envoy was entangled. Baoyin glanced at Wang Xian, saw that his nose was crooked, smiled triumphantly, and poured a glass of wine on the envoy's face.

The envoy immediately became angry, pointed at Baoyin and cursed.All the people drinking and having fun in the hall looked over in unison. Baoyin covered her face with a handkerchief, and put on a look of weeping. She was born to be extremely beautiful, and this pretentiousness made the men in the hall feel pity even more. The look at the envoy became even more unfriendly.

The envoy came from the Japanese country, and he was used to arrogant pride in the country, especially when Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan led his army across the sea to march east, encountered the so-called kamikaze, and the whole army was wiped out.The Wa Kingdom became the only country that the Mongol Yuan Empire had not conquered, which also gave the Wa Kingdom people inexplicable confidence. This time they came to China to pay tribute, and they can be said to be the most inferior group.

Seeing that everyone blamed him, the envoy became even more ashamed, and he habitually touched his waist, feeling empty, only to remember that before entering the palace, the palace guards had already taken away his saber.Without even thinking about it, this irrational guy actually drew his fist and punched Baoyin.Amidst the screams of the female guests at the table, Baoyin remained calm and composed. If she hadn't covered it with a handkerchief, everyone in the hall could have seen the fox-like smile on her face.

Halfway through that punch, the Japanese envoy suddenly groaned, and was pulled back by the collar from behind.Hearing another scoff, the luxurious robe worn by the Japanese envoy was torn open, exposing his black-haired torso.

"Baga!" The Japanese envoy turned around angrily, and saw a young Ming official holding a piece of his collar, staring at him with righteousness: "Presumptuous! This is the Fengtian Palace, the imperial palace of the Celestial Dynasty. , Where did you come from, how dare you play wild in the Royal Palace!"

"I am Takajinomiya, the third son of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan!" Seeing the aggressiveness of the other party, the envoys of the Japanese country hurriedly pulled out the banner as a tiger skin!

"Presumptuous! It's ridiculous! You're so daring!" The young official was either Wang Xian or someone else. He was originally the governor of Jinyiwei and had the duty to maintain the palace ban. The person offended by the other party was his wife, so of course he would not let this Japanese dog go: "You little Japanese country dares to be the emperor! Yelang is so arrogant and deserves death!" He waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, drag him out, give him twenty sticks, and drive him out of the palace!"

"Here!" The big Han generals in the hall belonged to the Jinyiwei. As soon as the governor spoke, he immediately rushed forward, picked up the struggling Japanese envoy, and dragged him out of the hall...

"I'm sorry!" Wang Xianchao clasped his fists together and said apologetically, "It's the lower officials' fault for disturbing you noble envoys." Then he took a glass of wine and said, "I'll punish myself!"

"This lord has dealt with it resolutely, and did not let that lunatic harass the honorable female guests!" A Ryukyu prince said loudly in fluent Ming official dialect: "We should toast you." All the envoys also echoed.

"Thank you very much." Wang Xian drank it down with a smile, shining the bottom of the cup to everyone, and when he met Baoyin's eyes, he did not forget to give her a look like asking for credit.Baoyin naturally responded with winks like silk...

"This guy!" Taiping Hou Zhang He knew Wang Xian's details, and said helplessly to Cheng Guo beside him: "He is obviously a woman who pleases him, but he can still earn a lot of applause."

"This is called ability." Zhu Yong was completely convinced by Wang Xian, and said with a smile: "Brother, learn more."

"Hey, such a character comes out every 500 years, we can't learn it." Zhang Wei shook his head with a smile, and turned his eyes to His Highness Taisun who was sitting at the head table. Looking at the empty prince seat, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.Immediately he laughed at himself and said, "Eat salty radish, don't worry about it!"

When the banquet was over and the guests left the palace, the outside of Fengtian Hall was already full of stars and the jade rope was turning low.Baoyin simply got into Wang Xian's carriage and went away as a pair... This scene just happened to be seen by the Ryukyu prince, who couldn't help but drop his jaw in shock.

Back at Houhai's home, Baoyin was still thinking about the scenes in Fengtian Temple, trembling with joy.However, Wang Xian couldn't help laughing. When he got out of the car, he squeezed Baoyin's cold little hand and asked in a low voice: "Can you stay a little longer?"
