After three extremely crisp whip blasts, drums and music blared in unison in the Forbidden City. All the officials of the imperial court and envoys from all over the world, all wearing court uniforms, filed into the palace from the Meridian Gate. In the palace, the most solemn honor guards of the royal family were laid out along the royal road.
The most conspicuous ones are the six golden-armored elephants located under the Danqi, as well as rhinoceros, four different beasts, BMWs and other rare animals in pairs. After that, there are four elephants with standing melons, lying melons, stars and yue each.
; A eunuch in python robe with a five-color golden dragon flag, a five-color dragon flag, a double dragon yellow fan, and a yellow nine-dragon umbrella of ten each.
There are also thousands of burly and majestic Han generals holding golden melons, axes and axes; thousands of golden-armored guards armed with spears and sabers, guarding the Yellow Dragon;
, Xun, Sheng, Zhi, Fou, stone, Xiang, bell, earthen trumpet, horn, a total of thirty-six kinds of musical instruments, the Jiaofang Si music class playing Zhonghe Shao music... All of these are all manifestations of the heavenly kingdom.
The brilliant civil and martial arts shocked the minds of those foreign ministers from the Tibetan state.
Seeing the awe and surrender in the eyes of those foreign ministers from the Tibetan state, the officials of the Ming Dynasty suddenly felt proud. They finally had an intuitive understanding of Emperor Yongle's great achievements...
When the princes, ministers, civil and military officials, and envoys from all countries lined up in Fengtianmen Square, they once again played music, sounded whips, and kowtowed as usual.
"Long live Long live Long live……"
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the roar of the tsunami, His Majesty Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a crown of twelve white beads and a twelve-chapter suit, was served by eunuchs, slowly ascended the throne, and accepted the worship of the ministers.
Zhu Di sat on the throne, watching thousands of courtiers bowing at his feet, and listening to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, his gloomy mood finally eased slightly. After more than ten years of hard work, he finally achieved what he is today, the emperor
Your Majesty has no reason not to enjoy the noble scene now. As for other things, let’s leave it to the future...
After the ministers thanked him and stood up, Huang Yan looked at Zhu Di and saw the emperor nodded slightly. Then he walked to the imperial steps, unfolded a piece of yellow silk, and chanted in a long voice:
"The Emperor, who was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, issued an edict to the world: to establish a business, the foundation of the king's rise is the first, to inherit the body and maintain it, and to govern the country is particularly important. In the past, my emperor, Emperor Gao, accepted the order of heaven, and the emperor Huayi established his capital in Jiangzuo.
, to establish the foundation of the country. I will inherit the great unification and magnificent achievements, but I will cherish the eternal family of the country. Beijing is actually the city, the place of God's will, and it belongs to the divination and prophecy. It is the ancient system of public opinion. The establishment of two capitals
The ancestral temple in the suburbs was built and the palace was built. The first was to test the ancestors of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao; the second was to promote the rules for future generations! Since its establishment, the army and the people of the world have been happy to follow the trend, and heaven and man have praised each other.
Pianzhen is now complete! On the first day of the first lunar month of the seventeenth year of Yongle, we chose the Fengtian Palace to court hundreds of officials, and established a new governance. It was used by Yongxi and Yuxi! The heaven and earth are peaceful, and the Zongshe will be blessed for thousands of years; Huayi is appeased.
, Long the foundation for prosperity in the past and present! Therefore, this edict is issued, and the envoys of Xian will hear it!"
"Long live long live, long live long live..." The princes, ministers, and foreign envoys shouted long live again, expressing their strong support for the Ming Dynasty's move to the capital. However, you don't have to listen carefully to hear that this long live shout is much quieter than the previous two times.
, it was also a lot of chaos...Looking carefully, many Ming Dynasty officials had angry looks on their faces. Some were trembling, some were pale, and some seemed to have curses in their mouths, and they looked like they would explode at any time.
It was the same. The envoys from the Tibetan states were inexplicably surprised when they saw it. Some were very worried, some were indifferent, and of course some just wanted to watch the fun...
Zhu Di's face was once again shrouded in dark clouds. He had already made up his mind. If anyone dares to say a random word at this time, he will be dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded, and the whole family will be sent to the outside of the customs!
However, the officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have not forgotten the ancient adage that 'family scandals should not be made public'. Although their stomachs were full of pain, no one said anything nonsense in front of the foreign envoys.
After the announcement of the capital move was completed, Huang Xie read out the rewards to the princes, officials, and envoys from various countries. Zhu Di was a very generous king. This time the capital move coincided with the Spring Festival, so the rewards were naturally extremely generous, ranging from favors and titles to promotions.
, no one was left out. All the ministers received awards, and everyone danced again to thank them. This time, the shouts of long live were obviously much neater and louder than the last time!
Only Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had an old face that was so pale that he could scare people to death. He thought that the construction of the palace in Beijing was completed, and the Ministry of Finance could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the emperor was so generous and generous, and gave out a lot of rewards.
I have to break the pot and sell iron, and I am afraid that I will not be able to recover for a year...
Such red tape has been going on from the hour of Chen to the end of the hour. The princes, officials, and envoys from all over the world got up early to participate in the ceremony. Until now, not a drop of water or a grain of rice has been eaten. They are dizzy from early hunger and their hands and feet are weak. Many of them.
The weak man fainted to the ground and was carried out by the guards... He endured and endured, and finally it was time for the emperor to give a banquet. Hundreds of tables were set up inside and outside the Fengtian Hall, and amid the sound of Shao music, the officials ate regardless of etiquette.
stand up.
In the palace, there was the emperor, and they were all princes, ministers, and envoys from various countries, so they naturally looked much more reserved. It wasn't until the emperor went to the back to change clothes that the atmosphere in the palace became lively. Wang Xian wore a first-grade count's court uniform and accompanied several envoys at the same table.
.I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. Although Bao Yin Qiqi Ge did not share the same table with him, they were in each corner of the same table, and they could make eye contact as long as they raised their heads.
Wang Xian and Baoyin were in the main hall, so they naturally pretended not to be familiar with each other. However, in the past ten days or so, they had become more intimate than ever before. At this moment, they were sitting at the same table together, making secret glances and flirting with each other.
It was inevitable. However, there was that short-sighted envoy from the Tibetan state who forgot about the differences between men and women as soon as he drank too much. He came over with a wine glass to propose a toast to the stunningly beautiful Baoyin.
Baoyin smiled and declined with the envoy, but the envoy was entangled. Baoyin glanced at Wang Xian and saw that his nose was crooked with anger, so he smiled proudly and poured a glass of wine on the envoy's face.
The envoy immediately became angry and pointed at Baoyin and cursed. Everyone who was drinking and having fun in the hall looked over. Baoyin covered her face with a handkerchief and pretended to be about to cry. She was born extremely beautiful, and she looked like this.
His pretentiousness made the men in the palace feel pity for him, and they looked at the envoy with even more evil eyes.
The envoy came from the Japanese country and was used to being arrogant in the country, especially when Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, led his army across the sea and went on an eastward expedition. When they encountered the so-called divine wind, the entire army was annihilated. The Japanese country became the only country that the Mongolian and Yuan Empire had not conquered.
country, this also gave the Japanese people inexplicable self-confidence. This time they came to China to pay tribute, they can be said to be the most unfavorable group.
Seeing that everyone was blaming him, the envoy became more and more embarrassed. He touched his waist out of habit and found nothing. Then he remembered that the palace guards had taken away his sword before entering the palace. Without even thinking about it,
This irrational guy actually drew his fist and hit Baoyin. Amidst the screams of the female guests at the table, Baoyin remained calm. If it were not covered with a handkerchief, everyone in the hall could see the fox-like expression on her face.
smile.
Halfway through the punch, the Japanese envoy suddenly let out a whoop, and was pulled back by his collar from behind. Hearing another sneer, the Japanese envoy's luxurious robe was torn open, revealing a large hole.
His torso is covered in black hair.
"Baga!" The Japanese envoy turned around angrily and saw a young Ming Dynasty official holding a piece of his collar in his hand and glaring at him with a righteous face: "How presumptuous! This is the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Celestial Dynasty.
, where did you come from, how dare you run wild in the imperial palace!"
"I am the third son of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Takahito!" The Japanese envoy saw that the other party was aggressive and quickly pulled out a big flag to make a tiger skin!
"Presumptuous! Ridiculous! How daring a dog is!" That young official was not Wang Xian. He was originally the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards and had the responsibility to maintain the palace ban. The offending party was his wife, so of course he would not let this Japanese dog go:
"How dare you, a small country of Japan, claim to be emperor! You are really arrogant and deserve to die!" He waved his hand and shouted: "Here comes someone, drag him out, give him twenty punishments, and drive him out of the palace!"
"Here!" The Han generals in the palace were all under the Jinyi Guards. As soon as the governor spoke, he immediately swarmed up, picked up the struggling Japanese envoy, and dragged him out of the palace...
"Sorry!" Wang Xian said with an apologetic look on his face as he clasped his fists at the envoys from various countries in the palace: "I should not have disturbed all the noble envoys." He took a glass of wine and said, "I will punish myself with one drink!"
"Your Excellency acted decisively and did not let the madman harass the distinguished female guest!" A Ryukyu prince said loudly in fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "We should give you a toast." The envoys also agreed.
"Thank you very much." Wang Xian smiled and drank it all in one gulp. He showed the bottom of the cup to everyone. When his eyes met with Baoyin's, he did not forget to give her a look as if he was asking for credit. Baoyin naturally responded with a charming look...
…
"This guy!" Taiping Marquis Zhang Xi knew Wang Xian's details. He looked helpless and said to Cheng Guojing beside him: "You are obviously trying to please your own woman, but you can still earn a lot of applause."
"This is called skill." Zhu Yong was sincerely convinced by Wang Xianke and said with a smile: "Brother, learn more."
"Hey, there is only one such person in five hundred years, so we can't imitate him." Zhang Xi smiled and shook his head, looking at His Highness Taisun sitting at the head table, seeing him toasting repeatedly under the compliments of several envoys.
Looking at the empty Prince's seat again, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Then I laughed at myself and said: "It's easier to eat carrots than to worry!"
When the banquet was over and the guests left the palace, the sky outside Fengtian Hall was already full of stars, and the jade rope was spinning low. Baoyin simply got on Wang Xian's carriage and left in pairs with him... This scene was just right for the Ryukyu prince to see.
When I arrived, I couldn’t help but be shocked. I wonder when the Chinese Empire became so unrestrained as in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
Back home in Houhai, Baoyin was still recalling the scenes in Fengtian Hall, and was so happy that his flowers were trembling with joy. Wang Xian was a little unable to laugh. When he got out of the car, he squeezed Baoyin's cold little hand and asked in a low voice: "
