Listen, a melodious voice came from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yes, the emperor spoke Chrysostom.
Although the volume of the sound was not very loud, it could still travel far under the sound amplification of the hall.
In this relatively quiet environment, every official could hear clearly.
"I wish you a happy new year and see you off all night...Since I came to the throne, I have greatly promoted culture and education and treated people's livelihood well..."
Sure enough, the emperor started by summarizing the past, the familiar feeling and the familiar taste.
No surprise!
However, this time, the ministers guessed wrong.
As the emperor spoke, his tone gradually became more passionate, and the topic also shifted from congratulatory words to government affairs.
His tone no longer sounded like a New Year's greeting, but more like a generous statement of defiance.
what's the situation?
What do you mean, this Chinese New Year person is so violent?
Very scary!
The ministers were all deeply surprised and even a little frightened. In the end, they all simply closed their eyes and secretly figured out the emperor's intentions.
What is the emperor saying?
guess?
Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to show his attitude to the world?
Or does he want to show his political ambitions publicly?
Keep listening…
"Although I am not as powerful as the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, I am not afraid of the tigers and wolves in the north, the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am not afraid of those cult members! ...Haha, with capable ministers like you assisting me, what do I have to fear? ? Taking advantage of today's opportunity, I promise to the people of the world that I have three policies against foreign countries, namely: no peace, no tribute, and no cession of territory!"
The sonorous sound of each word is like ripples, rippling out layer by layer, and the sound reaches the ears.
quiet!
It was very quiet and no one spoke!
These 'three no's' are worth analyzing!
However, their respective understandings are different.
Most of the ministers believe that among these three things, the most important thing is not to cede territory. Yes, territory has always been the foundation of the country. An extra inch will be a credit, and an inch less will be a fault. This is the ancient principle.
However, there are still a few people who believe that among these three mistakes, not paying tribute is the most practical. Face is small but profit is big. How can one's own country's money flow out?
Almost no one cares about the idea of not getting married. Yes, she is just a woman. If she is thrown out, she will be thrown out. What's the big deal?
However, Qi Yu didn't think so.
Throughout the history of China, the territory has been constantly changing. In other words, there is no concept of completeness at all. In the eyes of the imperial court, except for the Central Plains, the ceding of territory in other places is just a bargaining chip. This feeling is like the expansion of territory brought about by the surrender of a vassal state, and there is no actual sense of possession.
As for paying tribute, it is just a trade-off strategy in diplomacy. In layman's terms, it is a wise way to sacrifice money and avoid disaster. Ten years to the east of the river, ten years to the west of the river, you have collected tribute from others, and you may have to pay it back one day. In other words, if you go out and mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Apart from losing some face, there is no substantial harm to the people.
However, this policy of discord is the most domineering!
What does getting married mean?
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of humiliation!
In order to be able to live comfortably, he sacrifices his own women to be ravaged by others. Is there any more shameless way of thinking in the world than this?
Qi Yu is a descendant, and he has a value concept of equality in his bones. What's wrong with women? They are half of this country!
If the territory is lost, we can get it back; if the money has been extorted, we can get it back; if the person is gone, then he is really gone. Therefore, this is the absolutely correct people-oriented rhetoric. !
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't help but clapped his hands in excitement and shouted loudly: "My emperor is wise!"
Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected.
Among this huge crowd, he was the only voice that echoed.
Awkward?
Qi Yu felt quite embarrassed.
However, the emperor was very indifferent. Not only was he not displeased, he also glanced in the direction of the familiar voice.
It's not that the ministers don't understand Fu Yan, but they are still in a daze.
Yes, the emperor deliberately stepped on this point in time, and then suddenly shouted out such a loud voice in public. What was his intention?
Is he expressing his ambition and political stance?
Or is it that he is dissatisfied with those old guys who value peace and takes this opportunity to knock them?
Or maybe he wants to use the public's support to show off his muscles to certain forces?
No one knows this.
Because the divine will is unpredictable!
Just when everyone was still immersed in speculation, the sound of ritual music suddenly sounded.
The ministers suddenly realized: the lecture is over!
Then, the festive atmosphere became intense again.
The emperor also resumed his chatting and laughing state, asking questions and gossips with the ministers. Compared with just now, he seemed to be a different person.
…
The red sun rises slowly, and the morning light shines on the earth.
Officials who had been freezing for most of the night could finally enjoy some heat.
Moreover, you can also move your sore muscles.
Because, next is the dance ceremony.
This time, the emperor, who was in a happy mood, led the dance himself, and the ministers also joined in. Looking at them, some were swaying, some were trembling, and their postures were different.
The officials in the square outside the palace were not idle either, getting ready: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
The dance is over!
Next is free time.
Taking advantage of this uneasy time, the bureaucrats of Guanglu Temple hurriedly moved into action. They all moved the seats quickly and put out the bowls and chopsticks to prepare in advance for the upcoming outdoor grand banquet.
However, the ministers had no intention of paying attention to this. Almost all of them covered their bellies and ran towards somewhere in concentration.
Then, clatter~~
After solving the three urgent problems, they returned with a happy look on their faces and sat there as broad as a dog.
Then it’s time to open the banquet and serve the food!
This grand state banquet was fully hosted by Guanglu Temple, and other officials were only responsible for eating and drinking.
Qi Yu tasted the food, and the flavor was basically the same as the last Qionglin Banquet. It looked good but was not delicious.
Not only does it not taste good, but I don’t dare to eat more.
why?
What do you think, on this cold day, there is no hot dish to warm the stomach. If you eat too much, your body will not be able to enjoy it!
No, before the table was over, there were a few older people who couldn't bear it any longer. They took off their belts and ran to the toilet while holding their stomachs.
At noon, let’s disperse.
Qi Yu rushed home without stopping. He didn't sleep much that night and had to go home to catch up on his sleep.
What do you think of this grand dynasty?
That is naturally what the emperor calls the 'three noes'!
Regardless of what others think, Qi Yu highly approves of it.
Yes, judging from the current situation, the emperor does have the appearance of a wise king.
