The ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, is auspicious.

The wind in late autumn is very refreshing, and this year is another good harvest year in Dachu.

Despite the continuous natural disasters and severe droughts in many areas over the years, Dachu has continued to build water conservancy projects in recent years. Canals and reservoirs are spread all over the place and are connected with each other. Although a few areas have indeed had poor harvests due to natural disasters, most areas still have full harvests.

Full.

Facts have proved that the fall of the Han Dynasty did have natural causes, as evidenced by successive years of droughts and floods. However, Yuan Shu's vigorous construction of water conservancy fully demonstrated what it means to conquer nature by man.

Continuously dredging rivers and connecting river channels, water conservancy construction in Dachu has never stopped in recent years. Water veins in various places are interconnected and blend with each other. A large number of canals and reservoirs are constantly being built, trees are being planted, and vegetation protection has been strengthened. Although extreme weather has occurred frequently in recent years

, but after strengthening early warning, drought and flood disasters have not had much impact in the face of perfect water conservancy construction. And the locust disaster has not occurred on a large scale for several years because of the large-scale breeding of chickens and ducks and various preventive measures.

There is also an episode. A small-scale locust plague broke out in Jiangdong. Although it was quickly extinguished, Yuan Shu proposed eating fried locusts and was quickly stopped by everyone. Practice has proved that it is completely impossible to solve the locust plague by relying on food. Because

Once locusts gather together to reach a certain size, they will mutate. Not only will they become more ferocious and aggressive, but they may also contain toxins and cannot be eaten.

Drought, flood, insect, famine, and epidemic, the most terrible among the eight disasters of this era, have been well solved. The remaining hail, wind, and earthquakes cannot be solved by manpower, but they are nothing to worry about. As long as timely warning is given,

Rescue and prevent and control the epidemic well, and there will be no big trouble.

Within a few years of the founding of Da Chu, the internal official atmosphere was very good, and the officials' execution ability was also very strong. Although natural disasters continued over the years, they were all controlled in time, with little damage, and there were no major disturbances. The whole country showed a kind of prosperity.

situation.

With everything going smoothly and peacefully every year, Yuan Shu simply chose the day of the Double Ninth Festival for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

The bright sunshine shines on the majestic Chang'an City, and the red bricks and yellow tiles in the imperial palace shine under the sunlight.

From east to west, from north to south, Qinglong Gate, White Tiger Gate, Suzaku Gate, and Xuanwu Gate were all wide open, and countless black-armored soldiers lined up neatly to guard all parts of the palace.

South of the Jinshui Bridge in front of the Ziwei Hall, a three-story, ninety-nine-step open-air Temple of Heaven stands in the center of the square. The entire body of the Temple of Heaven is made of white marble. A circular stone slab is embedded in the center of the first floor, called the "Tianxin Stone."

, surrounded by nine layers of stones, the first circle is nine fan-shaped plates, which is one layer; the second circle is eighteen blocks, which is a multiple of the first circle, and then it is increased by multiples of nine, until the ninth circle is eighty-one.

The block is called Jiuzhong. It is built in this way for better sound transmission. The special design allows standing in front of the Tianxin Stone and shouting to produce a huge echo, as if one call is answered by a hundred people. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing. This is the original version.

loudspeaker.

On the Temple of Heaven, there is a red carpet on the floor, incense tables are on display, countless flags are flying, and blue characters on a black background are in the air.

In the square under the Temple of Heaven, tens of thousands of elites were arrayed here, with hundreds of people on each side, arranged on both sides. In the middle was an empty passage paved with red carpet. Each of these soldiers was eight feet tall and had a majestic figure. They were dressed in black heavy armor.

A, holding a machete, tried his best to contain his murderous intent, but still could not conceal its edge.

The envoys from various countries who came to congratulate them all stood on the third floor. Although they were at the bottom, they were not dissatisfied at all because they were used to it. In the past, the Han Dynasty had never regarded them as human beings, so it was good to have a seat.

The exquisite design of the Temple of Heaven and the mighty Han troops on the square had completely attracted their attention. Unfortunately, under the guard of the heavily armed soldiers on both sides, they did not dare to move at all. The ceremony of worshiping the heaven did not tolerate any disrespect. They did not see the situation in front of them.

The great Chu Wenwu on both floors did not dare to make a sound or move at all.

On the second floor, all civil and military officials of third rank and above, including the eighteen ministers and ministers, stand here, wearing official uniforms, with solemn faces and dignified demeanor.

On the first floor, apart from the imperial guards, there were only two people, Jia Xu and Tian Feng, standing on the left and right respectively.

After a long time, when the sun rose to a certain height, Jia Xu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced around. The waiter on the side suddenly understood.

With his breath sinking in his Dantian, a sharp voice rang out: "The auspicious time has come, and I would like to welcome Your Majesty."

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

Ten thousand elites shouted in unison, the sound was so powerful that it soared into the sky that all the clouds above the palace disappeared.

The envoys from various countries on the Temple of Heaven had different expressions when they saw this scene. Most of them showed admiration and shock, and even some of them were almost unable to stand due to the fighting between the two groups.

The Tianmen opposite the Temple of Heaven slowly opened, and Yuan Shu, who was wearing a crown robe, slowly walked out. The white robe represented the chilling desolation of autumn, and the robe was embroidered with the pattern of a dragon rising from the sea. A black nine-clawed dragon stepped on

The light blue waves are about to fly, like Yuan Shu, who is not powerful but angry.

Glancing at the crowd, Yuan Shu walked slowly towards the Temple of Heaven on the red carpet. His sleeves were fluttering high in the wind, his pupils as black as ink jade shone with warmth, and his handsome face faced the scorching sun, carrying the spirit of the gods.

With such majesty and innate nobility, Yuan Shu exudes a kingly aura that makes people want to surrender unconsciously.

Following Yuan Shu's footsteps, every time he took a step, a row of soldiers knelt down on one knee uniformly. As the soldiers on both sides knelt down row by row, Yuan Shu's whole body really seemed like a dragon stepping on the waves.

He behaved normally, and his power became more and more powerful, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"Human Emperor!"

This title unconsciously rose in the hearts of everyone present.

Yuan Shu's power was nothing less than what the First Emperor would be afraid of again.

The envoys from various countries on the rooftop were impressed and did not dare to have any strange thoughts in their hearts.

"The power of His Majesty the Great Chu is probably much more terrifying than that of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the past."

Yuan Shu, who was walking like a dragon and a tiger, quickly arrived under the rooftop, and at this time, all the soldiers in the square had already paid their respects.

As Yuan Shu stepped onto the first step, the envoys from all the countries on the first floor only felt the overwhelming power coming towards them. Their knees softened unconsciously, and they all knelt down on the ground as if they had rehearsed.

.

Jia Xu on the stage couldn't help but open his eyes wide, feeling shocked in his heart.

How far has your majesty’s talent as a monarch been developed? It’s so terrifying!

Ignore these envoys at all. In Yuan Shu's mind, they are basically no different from ants. Except for An Anxi, Kushan and the poisonous envoys, they are worth paying attention to. The rest are all puppet decorations.

Slowly stepping on the steps, step by step to the second floor, the great Chu civil and military officials clasped their fists and bowed in obeisance. Yuan Shu did not pay attention to formality and did not like to kneel down.

Stepping onto the third platform, Jia Xu and Tian Feng, who were on the left and right, bowed to each other. Yuan Shu walked slowly to the altar, turned around, and scanned the people below who were bowing their heads.
