Chapter 1726 The first year of prosperity, everything is renewed! (Grand Finale)
Time flies, and the years are like songs.
In the following months, the Duke of Dongping in Yunnan, the governor of Guangxi and other officials also sent congratulatory messages to congratulate King Wei on his ascension to the throne and his abdication as emperor.
Afterwards, congratulatory forms from the chief officials of prefectures and counties in the provinces were delivered to the General Affairs Department one after another.
The local capital bureaus and generals leading troops at the border also went to court to express their loyalty to the new emperor.
As far away as the Governor of Liaodong and as far south as the Guangdong Navy, they all sent congratulatory notes and memorials to Shenjing.
In the fifth month of the eighth year of Qiande, Jia Heng, accompanied by the Minister of Military and Aircraft, inspected the regiments and camps in the capital, gathered the generals to have a drink, detailed the past achievements of the generals, and rewarded them with wine and meat, which made the military happy.
In July of the eighth year of Qiande's reign, the Shenjing-Beiping railway was opened to traffic. Fortunately, I went to Beiping Mansion to meet with the border generals. Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County, returned from Japan two months in advance. He talked with him about the situation in Japan and Korea. The monarch and his ministers discussed it happily. It was night Sleep with enough strength.
In September of the eighth year of the Qiantoku period, Emperor Meisho of Japan rebelled. Unfortunately, he was captured and killed by the Xia army stationed in Japan. The emperor of Japan was absent. Emperor Gomitsu sent his son to Japan to succeed the emperor.
And this day is the New Year's Eve in the eighth year of Qiande. Every household has begun to do away with the old and put up the new, and put up couplets to prepare for the new year, or the year of the new dynasty of Great Xia.
The end of the eighth year of Qiande has passed, and Daxia is about to enter the first year of its heyday, thus opening the chapter of a new dynasty.
In more than half a year, the entire Han provinces also changed their uniforms, flags, and official documents to follow the Daxia system, slowly erasing the traces of Chen and Han.
In other words, after nearly half a year of King Wei assisting the government during the Qiande period, for the officials and people of the Han Dynasty, it was just that the country's name was changed to Xia, and there were not many other changes. Everything was almost as usual.
Jia Heng also adhered to the concept of not fussing. During this period, in addition to posthumous titles and continuous favors to some Han officials who died in the king's early years, he also reformed some official systems, such as the former Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen Staff officials were packed into the Sixth Department and the South Study Room.
In addition, the selection of local governors was carefully adjusted, but no action was taken.
The main purpose is to make a smooth transition, put aside all non-urgent tasks, and allow the people of the world to psychologically adapt to the new dynasty and new emperor.
Of course, during the Qiande period, the government affairs during the period of Jia Heng's auxiliary administration were steadily advancing, the national infrastructure construction was in full swing, and the land of China continued to undergo great changes.
And this day is the New Year's Eve of the eighth year of Qiande. Every household has begun to do away with the old and put up the new, and put up couplets to prepare for the new year, or the year of the new dynasty of Great Xia.
The end of the eighth year of Qiande has passed, and Daxia is about to enter the first year of its heyday, thus opening the chapter of a new dynasty.
This day, New Year’s Eve——
Since the evening, the sky has become a bit gloomy, and snowflakes are falling in succession on the rows of streets in the distance. It can be seen that the sky and the earth are covered in silver.
On top of the majestic and magnificent palace gate tower, Jia Heng stood under the yellow umbrella, looking at the lights of the snowy night in the distance, feeling a surge of emotion about the past in his heart.
At this moment, Jinyi Governor, Zhongning Hou Qulang, approached Jia Heng, cupping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty, the guards of Jinyi Mansion have been replaced."
It is worth mentioning that in October of the eighth year of Qiande, Jia Heng gave instructions to the cabinet and conferred titles on a group of former ministers from Qiandi in the past, not only to reward their merits, but also to further attract people's hearts and defend the imperial power.
For example, Pang Shili, the commander-in-chief of Xining who was guarding Xining, was directly promoted to the third-class Duke of Liang from the first-class Weiyuan Marquis. Qu Guang, who was guarding Henan, was directly promoted to the first-class Marquis of Henan.
Because of his close relationship with the emperor and his loyalty and sincerity, Dong Qian was once again promoted to the rank of Duke of Lu. He was still in charge of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities and in charge of the public security of Shenjing.
Although outsiders are envious or know that Dong Qian's merits may not be commensurate with his merits, and being awarded a first-class title is enough, there is a saying that merit is not as good as hard work.
Everyone knows that this is an old minister of today's emperor, who is similar to Cai Guogong of Cai Quan, and seems to have the intention of adding favor to him.
The emperor must not only appoint people on merit, but also on nepotism, or in other words, be both close and virtuous. Otherwise, no one will be close to him, and no one will support him.
Ye Zhen, the Marquis of Annan, was granted the title Duke of Wu, which to some extent was a reward for cooperating with Jia Heng to take over the Jiangnan camp.
In terms of civil servants, Lin Ruhai was granted the title of Duke of Korea, Zhao Yifeng was granted the title of Duke of E, and Liu Zheng was granted the title of Duke of Song.
However, none of the above titles will be inherited by descendants, and will cease after death.
In fact, this is basically an imitation of the story of the Tang Dynasty, where civil servants were given titles, or in other words, through the strategy of giving favors, everyone was given titles and titles, winning people's hearts and guarding the imperial power.
As for Qu Lang, he was also named the third-class Zhongning Marquis and the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi.
Jia Heng said: "On New Year's Eve, there will be heavy snow again. If there is a snow disaster in Guanzhong, please wear local brocade clothes to investigate and report. Don't ignore it."
Qu Lang's face became solemn, he raised his hands and said yes.
Jia Heng stood on the gate tower of the majestic city wall, overlooking the fireworks all around the Shenjing City, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
It is a kind of great joy and freedom where I am the only one who can conquer all directions.
If it were in prehistoric novels, well, that would be sanctification.
Fifteen years have passed since he came to this world, and he has become the king of a country. After tomorrow, he will officially enter the ruling era of Daxia.
And he will also become the master of this ancient empire and lead the ship of the Chinese nation to set sail.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard beside him. Jia Heng didn't turn around, so he knew it was Chen Xiao.
Immediately, Jia Heng turned his eyes and saw that Chen Xiao was wearing a snow-fur cloak and a dress embroidered with red begonias. Her hair was exquisite and beautiful, and her face was as beautiful as the water.
As he spoke, he took off the robe in his hand and immediately put it on Jia Heng, saying, "It's getting cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold. I have to meet all the civil and military officials in court tomorrow."
Jia Heng nodded, narrated something, and said: "Next year will be the first year of Shengding, and the Great Xia will begin and end from this."
It is unclear whether Daxia, under his helm, can set sail all the way.
Under Chen Xiaocui's beautiful willow brows, with a hint of admiration in her clear eyes, she said: "In the future, I will become a great Holy Emperor and his name will go down in history."
Jia Heng thought of the ancient country that had been bullied in later generations, and felt a strong sense of mission in his heart. He said warmly: "I will devote the rest of my life to planting the flag of China all over the world!"
He took Daxia as the name of his country, and Xia was the beginning of his family, and should also be the last dynasty on this ancient land.
When the time is right, future generations will implement the constitutional monarchy system, and in the future, the footprints of Chinese people will be spread all over the world, and we will no longer have to suffer the humiliation of barbarians.
This is the greatest significance of his coming to this world.
Maybe this is a dream of Red Mansions.
Chen Xiao came forward and gently took Jia Heng's hand. A different kind of warmth seemed to surge in his shining eyes and said, "It's cold now, let's go back to the palace."
Jia Heng said softly "Yeah" and said nothing else.
Qu Lang and a group of Jinyi Mansion officials escorted the emperor and empress into the hall.
Behind them, the palace people also prepared colorful fireworks and set them off around the palace walls. In the sacred city, millions of soldiers and civilians celebrated New Year's Eve, and every household was filled with laughter and laughter.
"Crackling..."
But I heard the "whoosh" of the fireworks, and then the crackle, blooming in the clear night sky, full of light and beauty.
But on the streets lined with shops, a burst of singing suddenly came.
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they cannot forget their fame."
"Where are the generals and ministers of ancient and modern times? The graves are covered with grass."
"Everyone knows that gods are good..."
But on the vast expanse of snow, one monk and another in thin clothes were walking on the snow, quickly approaching the palace city.
Although his clothes were thin, there was no sign of shivering in the cold.
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao had just descended from the city tower. Hearing this, he couldn't help being shocked and blurted out: "Is the song ready?"
As he spoke, he turned around with a resolute and calm face, followed the sound with eyes like a torch, and saw a lame Taoist and a monk looking at him with a smile to himself in the brightly lit place.
Jia Heng's heart moved, he called Qu Lang at the side and ordered: "Bring these two people here."
Just at this moment, the guards guarding the palace gate were about to step forward to drive away the monks and Taoists, but they heard an angry voice coming from the gate tower of the palace city.
"The Holy One announced that the two masters should come to the tower to speak."
It was the voice of Zhongning Hou Qulang, with an irresistible tone.
At this moment, under Jia Heng's sword-shaped brows, his clear and rainbow-like eyes could be seen shining brightly, looking at the monk who was guarded by the guards in Jinyi Mansion.
In fact, he was also a little curious as to whether there really were gods in this world.
However, since he has already done this kind of thing, there must be something mysterious about it.
But I saw that the monk was smiling and walking quickly, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly.
"Why don't you kneel down when you see Your Majesty?" Qu Lang scolded, his voice stern.
Jia Heng waved his hand and said: "There is no need to apply secular etiquette to people who are outsiders."
At this moment, the monk looked at the young man in dragon robe with a smile, but there was actually some fear hidden deep in his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad." The monk said with a smile on his face.
Jia Heng didn't care what the two said was good, and asked: "Where did these two masters come from?"
The monk's words were somewhat clouded, and he said: "Come from the same place."
There was no trace of lunacy on the Taoist's face, but he looked at Jia Heng meaningfully and said, "Come from His Majesty."
Jia Heng's heart trembled. He was silent for a moment and said, "Do you two know where I come from?"
The monk smiled and said, "Buddha said, don't say it."
The Taoist made a sign and said: "Your Majesty is a genius from heaven. He comes from three thousand worlds. If you don't know this, a poor Taoist will never know it."
"Are there really gods in the world?" Jia Heng suddenly said.
He has always been curious, could he really have traveled through time?
"It's a pity that you sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or ghosts and gods." The fat monk smiled hoarsely and said in a low voice.
The Taoist also twirled his beard under his chin, shook his head and laughed, and started to read: "Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they can never forget their fame and fame. Where are the generals of ancient and modern times? There are piles of grass in the tombs. The world only knows that gods are good, and only charming girls are good."
My wife can’t forget that I expressed my kindness to you on your birthday, but you will go with others after your death.”
Speaking of this, he stared in the direction of Kunning Palace in the distance.
Chen Xiao felt a surge of panic in his heart when he heard this, and scolded: "You two, don't try to confuse the public with your monstrous words!"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I have no intention of seeking immortality or Taoism. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is a wise emperor of three generations or less. I am still curious. How can I not be curious?"
"If there were a god in the world, would your Majesty be willing to leave behind this land of thousands of miles, this lovely wife and concubine, and this grand ambition of domination?" The monk looked at the young man with a smile and asked.
When Chen Xiao heard this, she felt even more panicked in her heart.
She was really worried that this person would leave the country of Great Xia for the sake of the so-called immortality.
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment and said, "I don't want to."
He really doesn't want to, or rather, he doesn't want to do it now, but if there is a chance in the future, maybe... not.
But I don’t regret it either. Now that I have become the emperor in this life, I have no choice but to abandon the path of immortality.
If the immortal way destroys emotion and nature, there will be no taste at all.
The monk smiled, as if he had expected it, and said, "Then there are no gods in the world."
And the lame Taoist said again: "Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only children and grandchildren can't forget them. There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, but who has seen filial children and grandchildren?"
Hearing this, Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, there are no gods in this world."
Check out the correct version one by one!
If he had chosen not the way of the emperor, but the way of immortals and gods, then there might be immortals in this world, but A Dream in Red Mansions is just an insignificant copy plot?
In other words, the direction of his life story may have changed, and he is not who he is today, nor does he have a loving wife, a beautiful family, and a picturesque country.
The monk looked at the young man with admiration and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is quite intelligent, it is a pity."
The Taoist twirled his beard under his chin, smiled, and said, "It is indeed a pity."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and saw endless emotion in each other's eyes, and then left gracefully without saying another word.
Without Jia Heng's permission, although Qu Lang was not angry at the disrespectful confrontation between the monks and Taoists, he did not send the guards of Jinyi Mansion to arrest him.
"Who are they?" Seeing Jia Heng's silence, Chen Xiaocui's clear and clear eyes flickered under her beautiful eyebrows and whispered.
Jia Heng exhaled a long breath, his eyes were as dark as the abyss, and said: "I don't know."
Or is it the god of this Red Mansion world?
Of course, it's hard to tell, but the monk and the Taoist seemed to be afraid of him.
Could it be that he has a Taoist dragon energy protecting his body?
Well, this is not the Yun Dynasty world of "Era of the Immortal Dynasty".
Chen Xiao said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Later, the harem will watch the fireworks together in the Imperial Garden."
"It's not the Lantern Festival, why are we setting off fireworks at this time?" Jia Heng smiled and said softly.
After all, this is not the future, otherwise he could have given a nationally broadcast New Year speech.
"Xiangyun and Baoqin suggested it." Chen Xiao said in a gentle voice, "I think the palace is a little deserted, so why not let everyone lively and lively."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the palace."
At this moment, in the harem of the palace garden, on top of the octagonal attic with a plaque inscribed with the words "Wangyue Tower", Xiangyun and Baoqin held on to the white marble railings and looked at the vast night sky in the distance.
Although there are a few signs of aging on her face, her innocence and innocence are not diminished at all.
Xiangyun's face, which looked like a begonia flower, had a sweet smile and said, "Why isn't there so much excitement in this palace as there is outside?"
Tanchun smiled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of getting lost. If Yong'an Palace didn't get permission, it wouldn't be so lively."
Xiang Yun said with a faint tone: "It's better to be outside after entering the palace."
Yingchun smiled and joked, "Sister Yun is also a mother, why are you still acting like a little girl?"
Perhaps after having a child, the dullness on Yingchun's face disappeared a lot, and there were many more smiles on her chin-cheeked face.
Xiangyun smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being a little girl."
At this moment, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, surrounded by female officials, entered the attic and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Yun, third sister."
The smile on Tanchun's face was a little unnatural, and he greeted: "Sister Lan, sister Xi'er."
In fact, Tanchun still had some opinions about Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi becoming imperial concubines.
In fact, when Jia Heng decided on the fate of Lan Xi and the two, he had considered that the main reason was that Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were concubines before, and to some extent, it was also to "compensate" Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs were preparing fireworks, which were set off as the fire broke out.
"Crackling~"
But seeing the fireworks are gorgeous and colorful, blooming for no reason in the vast starry sky, it is so gorgeous that it is indescribable.
"The Holy One is here." At this moment, a female official entered the attic and said to the female officials present.
But he saw the young emperor approaching in a mighty manner, surrounded by a group of internal prisoners.
"I have met the Holy Lord." Xiangyun and Baoqin stepped forward quickly and saluted Jia Heng.
Jia Heng looked surprised and asked, "Is it just you?"
Tan Chun said softly: "We have already sent people to invite the other ladies from the palace."
Jia Heng nodded, smiled and said, "Let me take a look together."
While talking, surrounded by eunuchs and female officers, he entered the attic of Wangyue Tower.
Now that he has a large harem, in the future he will probably be King Wen's Hundred Sons, and then he will carry out a system of enfeoffment all over the world.
But at this moment, I saw Chaidai, Lanxi, Yuanchun, and Xichun coming from outside, with birds and birds, birds and birds, full of beauty, and endless laughter.
"I have seen your Majesty." Zhu Jinchai walked up to Jia Heng and saluted the young man in dragon robe.
Jia Heng stared at the smiles that were as charming as spring flowers. Under the beautiful eyebrows, those clear and sharp eyes like rainbows flickered for a moment, and he whispered: "My beloved concubines."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." All the golden hairpins present stood up one after another and saluted Jia Heng.
Jia Heng said: "Let's all sit down. Let's have dinner together and watch the fireworks later."
While they were talking, all the ladies in hairdresses and coats sat down, and their faces were either bright, dignified, gentle, or pretty. Under the light of the lights, they were so bright that they couldn't be seen.
Jia Heng stared at Chen Xiao who was standing aside, and said warmly: "Xiaoxiao, go ask someone to invite Xianning, Chanyue and the others to come over."
Chen Xiao said: "I've already sent someone to invite you."
Jia Heng nodded and didn't say much else. He and Zhu Jinchai were on the side of the railing, looking at the lighted dinner party in the distance.
After a while, a young eunuch with a white face and no beard came quickly from outside and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
Then, it was seen that Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan had come from outside, followed by a group of brightly dressed female officials.
"Sir, Mr. Xiao Jia." Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue approached and saluted the young man in the dragon robe.
Jia Heng said: "Xianning, Chanyue is here, let's watch the fireworks together."
Princess Xianning responded softly, took Chan Yue and Song Yan's slender hands, came to the side of the table, and sat down.
Then, all the golden hairpins in the palace gathered together to watch the fireworks.
Xiangyun stretched out his hand to say hello and said, "Brother Heng, look quickly."
Xiang Yun has an innocent and innocent temperament, and even after entering the palace, she still retains the title of Jia Heng in the boudoir.
Jia Heng said: "I'll go over and take a look."
At this moment, when I looked up at the sky, above the ink-colored sky, bright and colorful fireworks filled the entire night sky, reflecting the white snow in the distance, making it indescribably bright.
Jia Heng looked up at the sky, feeling a little dazed. After tonight, he would be thirty years old.
Looking back at the bright and flowery smiles around me, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of satisfaction.
I don't know why I suddenly remembered the monk and the monk from before, and suddenly there was a sense of open-mindedness in my heart.
The path to immortality is not valuable, but beauty and imperial supremacy are what he wants in this life!
The golden hairpins all around were bursting with laughter and laughter, and the sky was filled with fireworks. It seemed that at this moment, the scene was gradually freezing.
"Show off to Yanfu Palace." At this moment, seeing everyone watching the fireworks, Jia Heng came down from the city gate tower and whispered to the eunuch.
Yanfu Palace is where Concubine Duanrong lives, because after Princess Xianning entered the palace, perhaps because her mother and concubine saw things and missed people, she asked Concubine Duanrong to change her place of residence.
…
…
In this way, the long night has passed completely. When the lights gradually turned on the next day, the civil and military ministers of Daxia lined up in front of Anshun Gate and slowly entered the arched palace gate.
Daxia, the first year of Shengding, the first day of the first lunar month
Censor Jiuyi stood on the jade steps on the eaves in front of the palace gate, his eyes wandering around the dark group of Daxia officials in the white jade square.
Today was undoubtedly a grand dynasty. There were many officials lined up for the dynasty, hundreds of people in total, but it was as quiet as water, and you could hear a needle drop.
"Your Majesty has decreed that hundreds of civil and military officials should enter the palace!" The slightly shrill voice of the eunuch suddenly broke the tranquility of the morning light outside the palace.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Accompanied by the sound of the golden fou striking the bronze bell one after another, the civil and military ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty walked quickly towards Hanyuan Hall with neat steps.
After a moment, a large group of ministers, accompanied by the darkness, knelt down at this moment. In the empty and solemn palace, at this moment, the sounds of civil and military officials paying tribute could be heard.
"I have seen Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Just at this moment, a fiery red sun could be seen shooting out from the eastern sky. The rays of light shone step by step and fell on the snow on the glazed tiles. The voices of the civil and military ministers outside the palace shook the scene.
Heaven and earth move.
"Everyone is safe."
A sound like the excitement of gold and stone came from the palace and fell on the hearts of the ministers.
The law returns to spring and everything begins to renew.
The first year of the Great Xia Festival is here! The main text ends here, followed by about ten chapters of postscript, which will be written one after another in the future, mainly explaining the civil and martial arts of the Great Xia Dynasty and the situation of the protagonist's harem members fighting for the heir.
I sincerely thank you all for your companionship over the past three years! I will write my final words and a single chapter wishing everyone a happy New Year later.
