After Wang Hezheng said what he said, everyone was stunned. Liu Mingzhi thought about it for a moment and understood what Xia Gongming meant.
Some of the Huns who were almost exterminated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fled to the north of Lake Baikal and then moved west to the western countries.
It left an indelible impression on Westerners.
Sure enough, Duke Xia nodded clearly: "Your Majesty, as an imperial envoy, I not only have the duty of supervising all officials and being vigilant about your majesty's behavior, but the most important responsibility of an imperial envoy is to compile history books and leave them to future generations!"
The emperor and several ministers looked at Xia Gongming with doubts. What does this map have to do with his official position?
What is the invincible army of demons from the east that Wang Hezheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, said?
Except for Liu Mingzhi, everyone present was confused after hearing this!
This is basically a completely unrelated matter, okay?
"Xia Aiqing, go on!"
Xia Gongming sorted out his thoughts: "Your Majesty, Ma Qian of the Taishi Company was once the historian of Emperor Wu. Hou Huo Qubing, the champion in the year of the Han Dynasty, went north to the border and killed the Huns who were causing trouble on the border of the Han Dynasty until they were almost extinct!"
"According to Tai Shigong's "Historical Records", part of the Huns at that time integrated into our Han family race, and the other part fled north to the north of Yin Mountain and disappeared. However, according to the rumors of some caravans and people, these fleeing Huns were
Go all the way west from here! Let Mr. Wang from Honglu Temple tell His Majesty the next thing!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Honglu Temple receives countless merchants from various countries every year. I remember that there was once a caravan from the Western Regions, but it was different from the people from the Western Regions. I didn't care about it and thought it was because of the location.
They are remote barbarians. Later, they spoke Han dialect that was not very fluent and talked about devils from the east. I talked about it casually when I was chatting with Mr. Xia."
"Your Majesty, I have rummaged through the history books and according to the description of this caravan, the appearance of this invincible legion is very similar to the Huns recorded by Tai Shigong during the Han Dynasty. Previously, I was just interested and looked it up, but I didn't expect that your Majesty would be here.
There is such a vast and vast map!”
"Mr. Xia, even if this is the case, it doesn't mean anything, right? What if it's just a rumor?"
Xia Gongming glared at the official of the Nine Temples: "Confused, are you stupid because of reading? Don't you even know how to associate it? Don't you know where the Japanese country is?"
After Xia Gongming finished speaking, he pointed at the location of the Japanese kingdom on the map and tapped it with his finger.
No fool present heard what Xia Gongming said and immediately understood what it meant.
The emperor looked at Xia Gongming with satisfaction. Although the elder had been blaming him all day long, he was still very satisfied with his actions of discussing matters as they were.
"Old Zhou, please bring the Japanese professing document and show it to all your beloved ministers!"
"According to the order!"
After a while, the chief steward took Sakai Kazuko's declaration of submission and handed it to the ministers for circulation one by one.
After reading the contents of the document, the ministers stared at the map and examined it.
"Your Majesty, the location described in the document is almost the same as the location on the map!"
"Is there really a land beyond the ** sea that we don't know about yet, and some places are even wider than the territory of the dragon?"
Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, colleagues, the Ministry of Revenue measured the land in the country, totaling 6.4 million. Do you see how much space it occupies on this map?"
"Let's not talk about it above the sea. There is actually a country called Tsarist Russia in the Western Regions and northern Turks. This is a place we have never known about."
Liu Mingzhi cleared his throat: "Comrades, as the saying goes, the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the sea are not the king's ministers. Your Majesty insists on going to the West just to make friends with all nations. Colleagues, think about it if the dragon boarded a land and the first emperor
How will your colleagues and Your Majesty describe the places that Didu has never been to in the history books?"
After listening to Liu Mingzhi's words, all the ministers looked like when Emperor Li Zheng saw the world map, their breathing became rapid and their eyes flickered.
The old doctor Xia Gongming's face turned red: "If there really is such a vast territory waiting for the dragon to dominate, my history book is the most fair, and it will definitely be recorded. Your Majesty will be regarded as the emperor of the ages.
, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will shine brilliantly in the history books, and will be famous for centuries, lasting for a long time, and will be praised by future generations!"
After Xia Gongming finished speaking, everyone present turned blushing, and the military attache's eyes were filled with a frightening and fierce light, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
All are remembered forever and passed down from generation to generation. Eight words occupy the mind and cannot be shaken off.
Qianli became an official just to carry forward his original intention of benefiting the people.
Of course, it would be the best to leave a strong mark in the history books and pass it down from generation to generation. No, it should be said to be the most important.
There was a lingering smile in Li Zheng's eyes, but he still restrained himself and waved to Xia Gongming in a pretentious manner.
"Xia Aiqing, don't be too exaggerated. In my eyes, there is only one emperor throughout the ages, the First Emperor. The so-called tyrant is just a slanderous word for a successful king or a defeated bandit. If there is no First Emperor to rule the world, the book and the car will follow the same track, and he will be the king of future generations.
Who dares to claim to be the emperor? His faults cannot be concealed. The achievements of the First Emperor cannot be erased by anyone. I am content to evaluate me as the second emperor in the ages!"
Having said that, the triumphant look in Li Zheng's eyes left Mr. Liu speechless.
Even Miss Cai's acting skills are not as good as this. Can we please calm down the excitement in our eyes and expressions a little bit?
It's too deliberate, okay?
The second emperor of the ages, the second brother of the ages?
Young Master Liu didn't know what he thought of and laughed out loud. When he saw the emperor and everyone's surprised eyes, he immediately returned to his normal state and became extremely serious.
"Well, I got carried away with joy when I thought about leaving my name in the history books. Your Majesty, please forgive me, and colleagues, please forgive me!"
When the emperor and others saw Mr. Liu express his inner thoughts, they all smiled kindly, without the slightest hint of blame.
Many ministers stared at the world map feverishly and scanned it, as if they wanted to carve it into their hearts.
"Your Majesty, let's go to the Western Ocean. I am willing to donate five years of my salary to build sea ships and seize land to make friends with all nations!"
"I am willing to pay three years' salary!"
“I’m selling my house to donate money!”
"I have to raise a share of money even if I sell my concubine!"
"Your Majesty, I'm selling my wife." The excited adult scratched his head in embarrassment as he looked at everyone's surprised eyes: "I'm selling my wife's gold and silver jewelry, but I also want to donate the money I spent on my voyage to the West!"
"The general is willing to donate war horses and salary!"
"Kill to the West to occupy land, steal women, seize treasures, and create an eternal inheritance!"
"The last general is willing to serve as a vanguard, killing people and setting fires first, and then attacking the city and plundering the land!"
"Sail to the West, conquer the world, and be famous throughout the ages!"
"If you are a foreign country and not a foreign country, if you plant the flag of the Han family, it will be the land of the Han family."
"That's right, what's ours, what's ours, is all ours. If you dare not to pay tribute to your vassals, your clan will be exterminated and your species will be exterminated."
"We still need their land!"
"That's right."
The civil servants spoke in a reserved manner, while the military generals became more and more excited as they spoke, revealing their truest thoughts.
If you don't pay tribute to your subjects, they will become extinct. Even the Americans dare not say that.
It can be seen from this that the Han people have always been warlike, depending on what kind of people they follow.
Those who follow the weak bosses are weak people, and those who follow bosses like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Li Zheng are howling hungry wolves.
Not to mention that Dalong did not have a policy of suppressing generals by favoring civility over military force. Li Zheng was even worried about the bloody disappearance of the Han family and even the common people were not allowed to use force. This shows how generous he is!
Li Zheng looked a little embarrassed.
"Hmm, China has been a land of etiquette since ancient times. What do you mean by that? I went to the West to make friends with all nations and spread Chinese etiquette."
"Your Majesty is a wise man who makes friends with all nations and spreads the teachings of Chinese etiquette."
Young Master Liu looked at the sanctimonious ministers and the emperor and rubbed his nose speechlessly.
It’s so damn stupid that you still need to build a chastity memorial arch.
