Listen, a melodious voice came from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yes, the emperor opened Chrysostom.
Although the volume of the sound was not very loud, it could still be transmitted very far under the sound amplification of the hall.
In this relatively quiet environment, every official can hear clearly.
"I want to welcome the 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?
Why do you think we are so violent during the Chinese New Year?
Very scary!
The ministers were all deeply surprised, and even a little frightened. Finally, they all simply closed their eyes and secretly figured out the emperor's intentions.
What is the emperor expressing?
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 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 the money of one's own country be leaked 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
This feeling is like the expansion of territory brought about by the vassal surrender, without any 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 of sacrificing money and avoiding disaster. If you accept tribute from others in ten years to the east of Hedong and ten years to the west of Hexi, you may not be able to accept tribute from others.
The sky is about to be returned. That is, if you come out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Apart from losing some face, it will not cause any 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 live a modest life, 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; but if the person is gone, then it 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 his public opinion to show off his muscles to certain forces?
This, no one knows.
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 long questions and shortcomings 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 have been freezing for most of the night can 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 unlucky moment, 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 relieved 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 it and found that 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 banquet was over, there were a few older people who couldn't bear it anymore. 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.
How do you feel about 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.
