Chapter 450 Fireworks in the World (Important and the end of this volume)
“To see the emperor, take off your shoes! Untie your sword!”
The eunuch in round-collared palace clothes in front of the palace announced loudly, sharply The voice reminded the five Meng Tong father and son waiting outside the palace. That kind of solemn and solemn feeling was something they had never experienced in the Yue Palace.
With anxiety, he adjusted his robe, carefully took off his clothes, and handed the sword around his waist to the palace guard next to him. Meng Tong nodded to the four sons behind him, and then He moved forward and entered the main hall.
The floor of the main hall is as smooth as a mirror. On both sides are pillars with three people hugging each other. They are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and their feet are on auspicious clouds. Below them are two rows of civil and military officials, all in uniform uniforms, looking back.
In the hundreds of intertwined glances, the five father and son lowered their heads slightly, not daring to breathe. According to etiquette, they came to the imperial steps as surrendered ministers, knelt down and saluted.
Above them, Su Chen smiled, stood up and raised his hands to the five father and son below: "I accept this gift. I also accept the surrender of the Yue Kingdom. From now on, there will be no more Yue Kingdom. The people of Yue are all my Chinese people!”
“Thank you for your kindness to the people of Yue!”
Over there, the father and son stood up together for the first time. Seeing Su Chen, he was as surprised by the emperor's youth as Kang Shengqian and Qi Qingbao were before him.
After exchanging a few words, Su Chen sat back on the dragon chair. Zheng He on one side brought a document. On it was a proclamation from the king of Yue to the emperor of Xia, which was to be spread throughout the world.
The above content is simple and clear, without too many complicated and difficult words. Since Meng Tong has already surrendered, there is basically no need to read the above content. He picked up the pen and ink prepared in the tray, signed his name, and then took it out from his arms. A square seal the size of a palm, this is his jade seal.
After stamping the seal, he put the object on the tray together with the pen and ink, and the eunuch named Zheng He took it away.
Such a scene encouraged the civil and military officials in the DPRK. Former Wei ministers such as Long Qiao and Yuan Feng could not have such majestic power as when Zhao Chuanting was still there.
“Official affairs are over, it’s time to talk about family affairs. Although I am the emperor, I have married Meng Yuyin as Zhaoyi. After all, I am also the son-in-law of the Meng family. My father-in-law is the head of our Xia Kingdom. I should be my father-in-law. Prince." Su Chen glanced at Zheng He who was leaving, turned around and said with a smile.
Meng Zhaolin and the other four people's faces suddenly showed joy. Their father Meng Tong in front of them quickly handed over his hand: "I am scared."
"What's the need to be afraid? Your father is your father and your family is your family. I say you are the father of the country and you are the father of the country. Don't be submissive." Su Chen's tone was domineering and he could not tolerate rejection. After saying this, he stood up and waved to the civil and military officials in the palace. : "The court is over, I have a family banquet today."
The civil and military officials in the palace resigned and filed out.
When the hall became quiet, Su Chen stood up and waved to the five father and son over there, asking them to follow. Outside Guangyun Hall, a few white clouds were floating in the autumn sky.
The sun is shining through the gaps in the clouds, giving it a slight warmth.
Su Chen walked in front of the five father and son, while Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun followed behind, heading towards the harem together, "Don't worry, Abbot, there are no other concubines in Lu Yang's harem. There are only two women now, and the queen is at Yanjing.”
"Yes." Meng Tong lowered his head and replied. He was also looking at the scenery of the Central Plains Palace with his peripheral vision. After walking through the Central Palace and entering the back garden, the majestic palace complex gradually disappeared and was replaced by luxurious carvings. In the towering attic, all kinds of exotic flowers and stones serve as decorations and decorate every corner.
“I did not do any of this. It was like this when we entered the Luyang Palace. Unfortunately, many things were destroyed by those soldiers without knowing the severity. Fortunately, it was still I left some for me.”
Su Chen walked forward with a smile and chatted with the people behind him, but everyone could hear that it meant showing off his great military exploits.
However, Meng Tong and the others also laughed in apology, which was considered to be coping.
"Okay, ahead is the Yingzhao Hall. Meng Zhaoyi doesn't know you are coming yet. I didn't tell them that you were coming to Luyang. You guys, please meet her."
The long palace road extends, reflecting the four courtyards behind the palace. The withered yellow leaves are floating and the sun shines on the corner of the pavilion. Meng Yuyin is sitting in the pavilion, plucking the strings with her slender jade fingers. The palace maid Xiao He has her eyes closed and leans against the pavilion pillars. Listen quietly.
Outside the pavilion, footsteps were approaching. I thought they were passing eunuchs and palace maids, but I heard a voice: "Yuyin..."
Familiar words interrupted the sound of the piano, Meng Yuyin Holding down the trembling strings, she looked up and saw her father and brother standing there, looking at her with a smile.
"Father!"
Meng Yuyin stood up in surprise and ran out of the pavilion. She didn't stop until she was in front of Meng Tong, "Isn't my daughter dreaming...and brothers, what are you doing? Coming?”
"Don't call me father, call me father!"
Meng Tong looked at Meng Yuyin, who was becoming more and more beautiful and generous. He smiled and held his daughter's hand, "Your mother is here too, but she is still in the post house outside. Several brothers and sisters are also here. From now on, father and your brothers will not leave."
"Not leaving?" Meng Yuyin looked at her father in surprise, and then looked at her second brother. , Third brother and the others, "What's going on?"
"I abdicated the throne for my father and surrendered to the Xia Kingdom."
"From now on, our family can always be together again. What do you think about your father and mother?" Yes, and our brothers can be seen at any time!”
"If it is inconvenient to leave the palace, we will enter the palace to see you, haha!"
The four men, Meng Zhaolin, looked at the surprised expressions of their sisters, and they laughed first, as if the Yue Kingdom was gone, and they were not sad. But generally happy.
The girl also laughed, but she cried while laughing.
......
The glow spread and burned the sky red.
In front of the ancestral temple, Su Chen sat under the eaves, looking at the red clouds in the sky. A list of official positions written in his hand was burning up.
He was surrounded by noisy hustle and bustle. Xiang Yu, who was holding a city-breaking halberd, was sitting on a stone bench, smiling and looking at Li Xuanba who was covered in sweat after being beaten by him. He showed an expression of appreciation and suddenly said softly. With his words, he called out: "Your Majesty."
The city-breaking halberd he was holding fell to the ground with a clang. Xiang Yu stood up and slowly turned his head to look at the corner of the courtyard. The smoke curled up. I saw a beautiful figure of Pingting coming, dressed in a fiery red robe, embroidered with gold thread and silver cloud patterns, with a fiery red belt around her upper body, and the tassels around her waist were swaying in the wind.
"Yu Ji..." Xiang Yu murmured, then laughed loudly, walked over quickly, held the woman in the smoke in his arms, and spun around in circles.
“I’m so happy!!”
In the noisy ancestral temple and courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at the man and woman hugging each other, and the couple subconsciously held each other's hands.
"What are the good things about women? Bone-scraping steel knives." The sweaty Li Xuanba muttered, and then he was slapped on the head. Li Shimin grunted twice, "Ignorance!"
In the open space on one side of the ancestral temple, soup was boiling in the medicine jar.
Liu Xie squatted there and kept selecting medicinal materials. Li Longji fanned himself and kept looking in. After a while, Liu Xie scooped out a bowl and handed it to him. Li Longji drank it heartily. Suddenly, it was like a deflated balloon flying all over the sky.
Liu Bei came out from the ancestral temple with a red face, and his eyes became much kinder when he looked at Liu Chan. Not long after he left, Sun Quan, who was bruised and swollen, came over from there, and Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Gou, and Li Cunxu were being carried around. After a moment of ridicule, his body turned into blue smoke and floated away to the spiritual throne. The red clouds gradually set. At the Lu Mansion in the city, the girl waving the crescent halberd occasionally stopped and subconsciously touched her waist. Thinking of the man holding her waist on the chariot that day, her pretty face slowly turned red.
Suddenly hearing a dry cough, Lu Lingqi turned around in embarrassment. However, the embarrassment on her face instantly turned into surprise. She threw the weapon in her hand to the ground, rushed over quickly, and pounced on her. The figure next to his father.
“Mother!”
The girl lay on top of the longing woman and began to sob.
Time passes. After being sealed, Meng Tong and his son will leave Luyang and settle down in Fenzhou, north of the Hun River. However, Su Chen will also leave with him.
It's time to go back north.
......
The severe cold swept through, and there was no more cicada chirping on the tawny tree trunks. In the bright winter, Su Chen, wrapped like a cotton ball, was flying precariously in the snow. Running, he tripped and rolled ten feet away. The eunuchs and maids turned pale with fright.
Under the trees hanging with snow, the two-year-old naughty boy laughed loudly, holding a snowball and throwing it into the distance.
In the corridor not far away, Fang Xuejun held the railing with one hand, looking at the snow in the courtyard and his son playing with the eunuchs, in a daze.
My husband was already on his way back. Thinking about it, the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
A wisp of snow fell from the treetops, and she raised her head slightly, interrupting her thoughts. She raised her head, but she didn't know how long it would take to reach Yanjing.
In the yard ahead, the son, who was like a furball, came bounding over. He looked up at his mother through the guardrail, and then looked with her at the snow-covered branches in front of him, tilting his head. Understand what’s so cool about this.
Then we continued to have fun.
The south has stabilized. In Shengkang City, Zhang Liao led the victorious army back. He got off his horse and walked into the government office. In the court hall, Guan Yu put down his scroll, stood up and strode over to greet him.
The two looked at the map, clicked on Minggang in tacit agreement, looked at each other, caressed their beards and laughed.
Fifty miles away from Shengkang, under the gloomy sky, an old man named Du Yichu carried a dark ancient sword and met another old man. The two talked for a while, gave each other a book, and then left for the Ming Dynasty. Go to the port and ask if there are any ships going to overseas islands.
The endless blue sea appeared in his field of vision.
The waves were ups and downs, the sea wind was blowing the sails, and above the vast ocean, the sea surface broke, and a huge whale stretched out its huge body and sprayed out water jets.
In the direction of the sailing ships, gradually, many uninhabited islands appeared. Going further in, islands like mainlands stood on the sea. On the offshore sea, there were countless small boats. Coming and going with sails hoisted.
There are also figures with bald heads and thin knives on their waists, dueling fiercely, and further ahead of the dueling figure is a lively market town with low buildings. Men and women in ragged clothes are constantly building various houses, or carrying logs. , stones go to the distance, and a castle named Tenshu is slowly being built, with a fanatical look on everyone's face.
In the distant military port, near the huge military camp, Japanese soldiers and horses carrying bamboo guns came and went in groups. On a large ship that had just been completed, a one-eyed figure stood with his hands clenched and looked at the drills on the deck. The soldiers have solemn faces, not angry but powerful.
He is known as the Dragon of Echigo, the God of War - Uesugi Kenshin.
He heard that there was a continent to the west, and he wanted to go and see it.
The sea breeze blew, and in the military camp behind the military port, in the commander's tent, an inconspicuous figure stood up and accepted the worship of many generals in the tent.
The land of Qiliang in the past began to calm down after experiencing sweeping wars. Li Ru walked up to Xinxiang's tower and looked at the once untouchable land of Yizhou, which would be renewed in his hands.
In Xidu, Dong Zhuo lowered his blood-stained butcher knife and kicked away the heads of two tribal leaders. He looked at the remaining people with fierce eyes and raised his fingers.
Several tribal leaders knelt down and accepted the proposal to change their name.
In the Jinluan Palace of Yanjing, Su Chen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the memorial in his hand, and nodded in agreement. Soon, an imperial edict was issued to form a fleet, with Zheng He as commander, Lu Meng and Gan Ning as generals. Ocean Trade See how many countries there are beyond the sea.
To the west of Yantang Pass, Su Dingfang walked into the military camp and selected the war horses just sent from the grassland. He would form a troop and go to the seventy-two countries in the Western Regions.
If possible, destroy the country one by one.
To the north, Xiang Yu held Yu Ji in his arms and rode on a big black horse. Under the leadership of the slave general Anuhu, he admired the snowy scenery in the north and took a good look at the scenery that he had never had time to see before.
After all, this world is different. They don’t need to fight for anything anymore to make up for the unwillingness in their hearts.
In the northern suburbs of Yanjing, Liu Sheng and Zhang Yu rushed out of the workshop, and a group of craftsmen ran wildly. After a moment, the workshop behind them exploded and a fire broke out. The two of them lay in disgrace in the snow. No one was hurt and there was laughter.
On the street where the roofs were covered with white, Lu Lingqi took her mother Yan's arm and introduced everything on the street to her mother. From time to time, she bought some New Year's goods, rouge, gouache, and cloth, and then handed them to Lu Bu, the commander of the army. Holding it, Yan turned around and looked at her husband, and Lu Bu also looked at his wife, with a smile on his face.
After losing it, he realized what was precious, and now it has come back again.
On the bustling street, I also met Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. They were also carrying large and small New Year's goods in their hands. Ma Yunlu walked in front with his hands behind his back and felt happy.
Then the two families got together and walked through the market talking and laughing.
Perhaps he heard the voices of two families. On the second floor of the wine shop on the street, the curtains were opened, and the drunk Li Bai stuck his head out and looked around. His face was covered with rouge red lip marks, but he could not find the voice yet. The source of the news was pulled back by Guo Jia, who also had lip marks on his face, and then closed the window sash.
The two continued to huddle among the women, drinking and having fun.
On the grassland, the snow is deep, but it cannot stop the galloping horses. The red feathers are stroking, the red cloak is flying, Huo Qubing and Yu Lin ride on the vast snow, leaving a long trace.
Soon, he handed over errands to Ge Shuhan. He will be stationed here next year, but for him, coming to the grassland is like going home.
Yanjing Palace, the children's laughter resounded through the courtyard. Su Chen sat on Su Chen's shoulders and was led all over the courtyard. Then his head was scraped against a branch, snow fell, and both father and son were piled up. Became a snowman.
The view reaches the sky.
The white earth has a few spots of light left by countless lives, which are the unique fireworks of the world.
