On the ninth day of the ninth month of the tenth year of Shenwu, Double Ninth Festival.

This day has been a special day for the Daxia Dynasty over the past few decades, and it is even more lively in the capital than during the Chinese New Year.

After noon, officials took their families across the Jade Bridge and entered the palace.

This imperial palace, also known as Ziwei City, was built on the basis of the old palace of the Five Dynasties. The palace city is ten miles away, and the city is nine feet tall and nine feet tall. It is painted with red paint and yellow glazed tiles. The palace gate is six feet tall and six feet wide and three feet wide. It is made of bronze gear links, which only two people can open.

The main hall is the Guangming Hall. Turning south to the gate tower, there is the Imperial Study Room and the Imperial Garden. The north to the Guangming Hall is the Zichen Hall, also known as the Front Hall. The court meetings and diplomatic missions are held here. The west side of the Guangming Hall is the Chugong Hall, which is the place where the most reports of the ministers and the imperial study rooms are heard on weekdays. There is also a Wende Tower between the Chugong Hall and the Zichen Hall. The building is three floors high, with water downstairs. The right mountain in the building is on the right side and the forest on the left and right, which is the attic where you go to court, retreat to court, and rest in the middle of the court meeting.

The east side of the Guangming Hall is Shengping Tower, which is linked to Jiying Hall after Shengping Tower. Today, the two floors of Shengping Tower have already been decorated with lights and red silks, which are very lively. Further east, there is a Genyue land, which is two acres of square in Genyue. It is built on Phoenix Mountain as the blueprint. It is artificially piled up soil and stacked mountains. There are dozens of large caves on the main mountain, Wansui Mountain, where realgar and Lugan stones are hidden in the caves, and the air is as thick as a deep valley.

There are various artificial mountains stacked with Taihu stones in Gen Yue. There are scenery in the middle of the garden, such as Yaoli, Xizhuang, Chaoyun Pavilion, Bailongyi, Yuelong Gorge, Panxiu Pavilion, Lianguang Pavilion, Kuanyun Pavilion, Luohan Rock. There is Wansongling Ridge, and a Yicui Tower is set by the ridge. Two curved pools are dug on the flat ground next to the building. The east is called Luzhu and Fuyang Pavilion; the west is called Meizhu and Xuelang Pavilion. The pool water flows eastward to form a Yan Pond and Feng Pond. There are pavilions, pavilions and pavilions around the pool.

Several. At the foot of Wansui Mountain, there is a Jieting Pavilion that goes straight to the highest point on the mountain. There are two pavilions on the left and the Jimeng, Xiao Sen, and Liyun on the right. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook Jinglongjiang, and the upstream of the river flows into the mountain stream. There is Shuqiongxuan on the west side of the garden. There is a elixir view between the rocks, which is scattered in the open. The Yuanshan Pavilion can see Gaoyang wine shop and Qingqinghou Pavilion next to Jinglongjiang. On the north bank of the river, the small pavilion is Chuchu, and the tributary of the river flows to the villa, called Huixi...

On the Shengping Tower, you can see the scenery of Gen Yue. The sun rises to the east, and under the clouds and mist, there is also the scene of purple air coming from the east, but it is a good intention. The birthday gifts were all placed in it a few days ago.

These officials were all wearing official uniforms, all of whom were purple-clothed unicorns and red-clothed Yunhe, but they were senior officials of the third rank or above, and they sat in turn from behind.

Sixty-six tables were placed on the left and right of Shengping Building, leaving a ten-foot-meter-a-round open space in the center. Those hidden princes and large families that are rare in daily life are naturally invited, and the five people in the imperial study room naturally sit in the first seat of the first column.

In front of the front desk, there were one lord and two banquets. The head was the empress dowager. The current Shenwu Emperor was on his right and the imperial concubine on his left.

"See the Second Prince..." Xia Yongkang saluted to a twenty-six-year-old man in front of him.

"The right prime minister is polite." The second prince Xia Junhao also said politely. Although he was the prince, Xia Yongkang was the right prime minister of the empire and he should respect it. What's more, ten years ago, Xia Yongkang also taught him a lot of things, and he could be considered half a master.

"Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager's sixty-sixth birthday. I wonder what good news has the right prime minister brought?" Xia Junhao said with a smile.

Xia Yongkang is famous for his leadership in the war. In the past two years, there have been frictions in the frontier. Whether it is the Empress Dowager or the Emperor, what he wants to hear most is the stability and victory of the frontier. At this time, it is more important than any congratulations.

Xia Yongkang laughed and said, "The second prince laughed. It was just some dispensable news. The border was still stable. There were signs of breaking down between the Yuan Dynasty and the Turks. Some of our plans also achieved certain results. As for how it will develop in the future, it depends on their efforts."

"Oh? In this way, the situation on the border has improved. This is not dispensable news. I will definitely talk to the Empress Dowager later to make her happy." Xia Junhao nodded and said meaningfully.

"What good news? You have to tell the Queen Mother?" The fourth prince Xia Junqiu came towards me.

Although the two are brothers of a mother, they are also the ones who know the most. Xia Junqiu and Xia Junhao are two years apart, and there is also an older sister in the middle, Xia Wanqiu, one of the three princesses of the Xia Dynasty.

When Xia Junhao saw him coming, he put away his smile. Xia Yongkang didn't care at all and saluted: "See the Fourth Prince."

"Brother, what good news is there?" Xia Junqiu laughed.

This fourth prince is kind-hearted and ignorant of the world, but he is a master who plays a pig and eats a tiger. He studies poetry and songs all day long. In the eyes of talented men in the world, he is a representative of royal knowledge and is even more ashamed to ask questions. Whenever he has any questions, he will come to Zhu Xi's mansion to ask questions. Sometimes Zhu Xi is not here, so he will wait at home, and he must figure out the problem.

However, this spirit is limited to knowledge, but the opposite is also romantic. He often wears civil uniforms and goes to the brothel Chuguan. But the more this happens, the more it can bring a distance from ordinary people.

"I have met the right prime minister." Xia Junqiu returned the ceremony.

But Xia Yongkang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Some of the slight tricks on the frontier have played some roles, and they are not a big deal."

Xia Junqiu laughed and said, "In this way, it will be all the credit of the Right Prime Minister. Only when the frontier is stable can the people of the Xia Dynasty be stable. The Right Prime Minister is truly worthy of being the mainstay of the Great Xia Dynasty. In just one year, good news will be heard."

Xia Yongkang hurriedly bowed to the upper right and said, "Thank you for the kindness of heaven, if Your Majesty had not been wise and divine martial, my soldiers in the Great Xia would have such a peaceful and prosperous era."

"It's not bad, but it's like this. My father worked day and night, and now he has not had a good rest for the birthday of the empress dowager. My ministers should follow suit. Oh, but I only know how to write and write, but I have not made any achievements in the country and the people. I am ashamed..." Xia Junqiu said mockingly, and said that he did not forget to look at the second prince.

Xia Yongkang saw it, but he didn't know why the two brothers were so incompatible. However, as for the royal family, there are a few people who don't fight throughout the ages. After all, that position is too tempting.

Since Emperor Taizong of Tang, although this rule of establishing eldest sons is still mainstream, it is not always based on this system. Many examples show that virtue is the first priority.

"I have met the second prince, the fourth prince, the right prime minister..."

There were already many officials coming and going. When they saw a few people, they all came forward to say hello and exchanged a few greetings, but they could not see the left prime minister.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, everyone sat down. At this moment, the Zuo Prime Minister appeared with the Grand Master at the door of Shengping Building. As soon as the two appeared, they caused a stir. Wherever they went, the officials stood up and saluted him and greeted him.

The officials who could come were all senior officials. Even if they sat at the table near the door, they were several third-rank officials from the Sixth Department.
