Early spring of the tenth year of Taichu.

Zhao Changqing has been in Tai'an City for a full month. According to the etiquette system, the ceremony can only be held in spring and autumn.

Due to the Chinese New Year issue, the ceremony of conferring Zen in Tai'an City was repeatedly delayed.

We had finally looked forward to welcoming the New Year at the end of the past year, but the international situation has become increasingly tense, and it has become a state of tension, as if a war is about to break out at any moment.

The Tang State was still hoarding troops on the border of Duan State. According to the information passed on by spies who went to other countries to inquire about information, they learned that the Tang State was trying to attack the east and west, and wanted to use Duan State as a springboard to silently attack the borders of Jin.

This issue is a top priority that the current Wei ministers need to face.

As for other things, such as the sanctions imposed by Song State, the richest country in the world, and the border conflicts with Liang State, they can all be alleviated.

On February 2, the dragon raises its head.

According to the customs here in the Chu region, we have to knock pots, light the beams, spread lime, etc. The purpose is to eliminate all snakes, insects, rats, and ants so that they will not affect normal life and have some remote areas.

In some areas, people will also cut off a strand of their hair, place it under the ancestor's tablet, burn incense and pray for good weather in the new year.

Zhao Changqing lives in the imperial palace of Chu State.

On this day, the guards in the entire palace or the newly recruited eunuchs and maids did not sprinkle some lime according to the custom of the dragon raising its head.

There are two reasons. First, Zhao Changqing couldn't stand the sound of knocking and the sight of lime being scattered all over the floor. Second, the eunuchs and maids in the Chu Kingdom's palace were surprised to find that as long as there was this great Wei

With His Majesty the Emperor, no snake, insect, rat or ant can be seen within a radius of ten feet.

Some people are speculating that after all, he is a snake, insect, rat, and ant. How can he compare with the Mr. Right?

The emperor is the incarnation of a dragon!

On the day when the dragon raised its head, Zhao Changqing finished washing up under the service of the maid. As soon as he left the palace gate, in full view of the eunuchs, maids, and guards, he stretched and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly there was thunder, dark clouds covered the roof, and slowly it began to rain heavily.

According to the older generation, if a dragon raises its head and sneezes, it means it will rain heavily.

Sure enough, it rained heavily that day.

However, since today, such a story has been circulating in the palace of Chu State.

It is said that on the day when the dragon raised its head in the 10th year of Taichu, His Majesty the Emperor happened to look up at the sky. Immediately, there was thunder and strong wind howling, and in less than a few breaths, it started to rain.

This saying is widely circulated by people all over the world, and they all say that His Majesty the Emperor of Wei is the real Dragon Emperor.

To be honest, Zhao Changqing sometimes feels that some things are quite unexplainable.

For example, one time God shed tears and it suddenly started raining heavily. At that time, Zhao Changqing was wandering outside, feeling depressed, and scolded God. However, surprisingly, the heavy rain stopped immediately.

, until he returned to the palace, the heavy rain continued to fall.

Emperors have cursed God. Throughout the ages, only Zhao Changqing has done so.

Another example is the vision that happened on the day of the sacrifice in the two temples.

Since when have you been surrounded by such strange things?

It seems that since inheriting the destiny of the country, he has really started to talk about the Tianxian.

The rain did not last long. It took about an hour or two before the weather turned sunny.

Since the beginning of the Seven Kingdoms Contest, the weather has been like that of a newborn baby, cloudy and sunny.

People of the older generation are saying that this is a warning from God, indicating that the world will be in chaos.

Of course, Zhao Changqing never asked much about such strange things.

Ever since he met the fox demon's ancestor Mei Xi and the fox demon Daji, Zhao Changqing understood one thing, that is, even if he becomes an emperor, he still has to have some awe in his heart, because there are some transcendent existences. Although

It cannot compare with the strength of a country, but it can still become a hidden danger that will always be with you.

In the past few days, Zhao Changqing had never seen any government affairs coming from the capital. He just sat idle in the imperial garden of the Chu State Palace for the whole day.

Today, Zhao Zhao Hongqing really didn't understand why his father was like this, so he came to him and asked: "Father, you have been sitting here for many days. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you should be tired of it, right?

"

Zhao Changqing touched his little head lovingly, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty Miyue has lived here since she was a child."

Zhao Hongqing squatted beside his father, holding his chin with his hands, looking at the koi carp playing in the lake, and murmured: "Does the father miss the imperial concubine?"

Zhao Changqing lay on the recliner, closed his eyes, enjoying the moisture of the sunshine after the rain, nodded unconsciously, and murmured in a low voice: "Think about it, why don't you think about it? I think about it all the time."

After Mi Yue passed away, in order to still see her face, Zhao Changqing placed her in an ice coffin that had not melted for thousands of years. The cold air in this coffin and the nourishment of spiritual objects could protect her body from decay.

Later, she asked the national master to perform a ritual ceremony for her in secret, and then she was allowed to rest peacefully in the tomb.

In the past, Zhao Changqing had no concept of life and death.

Because after all, I have all ‘died’ once.

However, losing Mi Yue made him suddenly realize that after experiencing life and death, he realized how painful it was to think of her.

It seemed that he really had feelings for her.

The main reason why he did not burn down the palace but chose to keep it was because he wanted to see things and miss people.

When I was with her before, I often heard her talk about childhood things.

She also likes to idle by the koi lake in the imperial garden.

After Long raised his head and passed by, Zhao Changqing began to concentrate on handling the government affairs that had accumulated in the past few days.

The accompanying officials from the Ministry of Rites began to deal with all matters concerning the conferment of Zen in Tai'an City.

At that time, the national master Xuan Lingzi will come in person to conduct the Zen ceremony.

Zhao Changqing lost interest after seeing the recent government affairs.

First of all, Liang State bullied others too much. Not only did they not acknowledge the border conflict, they also framed it for Wei State.

Of course, this has no impact on Wei itself.

At most, the reputation will be affected a little bit.

For example, it will create a bad impression in the hearts of people all over the world.

Apart from this, it will not affect the overall strength of Wei State.

Secondly, the Song State actually began to incite other countries to organize a so-called financial alliance and tried its best to oppose trade with the Wei State, causing the Wei State to directly lose a lot of interests.

If the Song Dynasty had not taken the lead, I am afraid this would not be the case.

Because other countries would not completely break up with Wei over financial issues over something like this, at the expense of both sides.

If I don't tell you anything good, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble.

After all, the Wei State has a huge territory and has countless resources to utilize.

But they can't.

But this time it was different with the Song State taking the lead. The Song State's economic strength far exceeded that of the Wei State. With the Song State here, they would not worry about any mistakes in the local financial situation.

This is like a cup of poisonous wine that is colorless and tasteless. Wei Guo is not willing to drink it, but he still has to drink it.

Humiliation, naked humiliation.

Zhao Changqing was so angry that he got angry.

Regarding how to counteract the Song Dynasty, the ministers of the Wei Kingdom had heated discussions every day.

This is the only thing that makes Zhao Changqing feel gratified so far.

If in the past, if this kind of thing happened, the Wei State would have to pay compensation and admit its mistakes and close the country. But it is different now. From the emperor to the traffickers and lackeys, as long as it involves national affairs, no matter how many enemies there are, they will not

I chose to compromise.

This is the beginning of a nation's self-confidence and the harbinger of a country's strength.

The nation's self-confidence will become increasingly high.

Zhao Changqing made a decision based on what happened in the past few days.

That is the decision to be strong to the end.

Regarding the conflict on the border between Liang and Wei, Zhao Changqing only used one sentence to explain, 'Those who offend our great Wei will be punished no matter how far away they are.'

This means that if Liang Guo dares to push further, Zhao Changqing doesn't mind teaching them how to behave.

The worst case scenario is a war.

Some wars are fought even if they involve destroying all the family's wealth, so that future generations can spend the New Year happily at home.

As for the matter about Liang Kingdom, it is nothing less than that.

They all thought that the current vitality of the Wei State had not yet been restored, and it was like a sick tiger that could be bullied at will. Especially since this sick tiger had lost its front teeth, which was the so-called international trade, they should not step on it at this time.

, that is a missed opportunity.

But Zhao Changqing just didn't follow what they wanted. He would fight whenever he wanted. His family's wealth was gone and he would save it for the future. Otherwise, these people would only get worse.

The scene before Wei State completely restored its vitality had a great impact.

If we fight a war now, if we have money in the future, we can directly destroy the Liang Kingdom.
