1066 Flags and Tributes
The most noble person in Ryukyu is of course the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, His Majesty Aisin Jueluo Zaichun, in fact, it should be Ryukyu King Shangtai, and then Xiao Letian, the prime minister.
However, Xiao Letian has the identity of the emperor, so his ranking is before the two of them, when Zaichun and Shangtai walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion one after the other to accept everyone's salute, it took ten minutes before the salute was full of anger.
"The Prime Minister of the Ryukyus, Wang Shangfu, and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty...... Xiao Lotian has arrived!"
One sentence made the entire Prime Minister's Mansion fall into absolute silence, and the Four Heavenly Kings took the lead in running to the gate to greet them, Wang Huaiyuan, Luo Huo, Xiao Hexin, and Sima Yun took all the courtiers to greet them at the main gate, which was the glory of their direct courtiers.
The second team consisted of the courtiers and guests of the Ryukyu king, who stood at the second gate and waited for Xiao Loten's arrival.
In the innermost hall, Jae-chun and Sang-tae stood behind the crowd to show their noble status.
The horseshoe trampled on the bluestone road, and Xiao Letian, who was dressed in a military uniform, rode a tall Arabian horse, with a black coat as black as silk and no miscellaneous hair, only four horses' hooves with a circle of white, which was the most precious war horse in the Ryukyus.
Behind Xiao Letian were eighteen knights in formal clothes, each riding a pitch-black war horse of the same coat color, the straight military uniform had no wrinkles at all, the leather boots and armed belts and the patent leather large-brimmed hat were spotless, and the chin was raised proudly.
Wang Huaiyuan and the others just wanted to salute in a thousand steps, and suddenly they saw an incredible scene out of the corner of their eyes, in the hands of the two flag-bearers behind Xiao Letian, one was an ordinary Xiaozi flag, and the other was actually the Ryukyu National Treasure Remnant Blood Flag.
Hiss...... Everyone present gasped, why did the prime minister take out this flag? Isn't this the remnant blood flag enshrined in the Temple of the God of War?
The Remnant Blood Flag is a myth in Ryukyu, and it was the first time Xiao Letian came to Ryukyu with only more than 60 veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom, but these more than 60 people instigated a great uprising of 100,000 Chinese.
On a night of blood and fire, they defeated the ruler of the Shimazu family, liberated the Ryukyu Kingdom, and laid the first foundation of Xiao Lotian.
On that night, the winged king Shi Dakai personally wrote the three big characters of Xiao Lotian on the ten white flags, and it was these ten Xiaozi battle flags that inspired 100,000 Chinese to fight bravely that night, and the blood and gunpowder smoke soaked the flags, and in the end, each flag was stained red by the blood of the insurgents.
One of the largest Xiao Zi Banner is in Xiao Letian's hands, in that bloody battle, Xiao Letian's team made the greatest achievements, and the price paid was also heavy, even Xiao Lotian himself was injured and vomited blood, this flag is because of Xiao Letian's blood condensed in it, and it was enshrined in the Ryukyu as the ancestor of the battle flag and enshrined in the Temple of the God of War.
For the Ryukyu New Army, it was a signal that the Ryukyu New Army would not retreat, that the jade would be shattered, and that they would all be destroyed, and that once the flag was raised, the army would no longer receive any orders to retreat or make strategic detours, and would only fight to the death.
Either destroy the enemy or be destroyed by the enemy, there is no other option.
The eyes of the Four Heavenly Kings twitched, they really didn't understand why the Prime Minister had raised the Remnant Blood Flag, or the largest side enshrined in the God of War Temple, could it be that the Prime Minister of that plan had a premonition of some kind of danger?
All the warriors who had fought under the remnant blood flag were all awe-inspiring like javelins at this moment, and a smell of iron and blood began to permeate, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion felt that something was wrong.
King Sangtae and Jae-chun subconsciously glanced at each other, and the two swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not knowing what was going to happen next, and they were flustered like rabbits.
Xiao Letian turned over and jumped off the horse, smiling and saluting everyone in return, while the two flag bearers stood at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the left and right, like two iron statues.
"Take it easy! There is no battle for you to fight today, and this flag is actually for myself...... I'm cheering myself on, don't be so nervous, okay?"
Xiao Letian shook this person's hand, patted that person's shoulder, and he called each other's names one by one, blowing into the Prime Minister's Mansion like a spring breeze.
Xiao Letian, who was holding the moon in the stars, walked to the main hall, and accepted the toast of Emperor Tongzhi and King Shangtai according to the command of the salute officer, and then Xiao Lotian said a few words to congratulate the New Year's opening remarks, and the following is the consciousness of all parties.
This is the most important part of the big guys, and everyone hopes that their gifts will be favored by the prime minister.
The engraving of the westward journey sent by the cattle shopkeeper made Xiao Lotian full of praise, and the fat man who drank three glasses of wine in a row was directly drunk. Hu Xueyan's vulgar things made Xiao Letian give a straight thumbs up, and even the old shopkeeper Fan Yao behind him sighed and thanked Hu Xueyan for his rescue.
Long Ye also returned, and the wind and cold of the Far East left several frostbite on his face, and the audience was amazed after the ginseng king was brought out. Xiao Letian said distressedly, "You are in a bitter cold place, it is more difficult than me, you can keep this old ginseng! This is an order, do not disobey!"
Long Ye's eyes were ruddy and he said, "I'm a martial arts fighter, it's okay...... Since the prime minister has to reward me, I will not refuse......"
Long Ye turned his head to Wang Huaiyuan and said, "You're about to become a ghost...... This old ginseng is given to you, don't keep it for boiling some ginseng soup to replenish your vitality!"
True friends don't need to be polite, the sincerity of the Long Ye, Wang Huaiyuan took it happily, took the box and turned his head and handed it to his guard, "Put it away, boil chicken soup for me tomorrow!"
With Long Ye coming together, the old ginseng hurriedly said, "Don't! This is a four-hundred-year-old ginseng king, you must not boil too much at once, putting a little beard is enough to make up for it......"
Long Ye smiled and said, "You old dog, you still use your nonsense, and you don't give the prime minister a salute...... Prime Minister, this ginseng king was presented by the old ginseng head, and he is also one of the most supportive places in the Far East!"
The old ginseng knelt on the ground with a puff, and he couldn't say anything trembling, "I've seen it...... I've seen the prime minister......"
Xiao Letian nodded, and there were soldiers around him who helped the old ginseng up, "If you are an elder, don't kneel, you can follow sincerely, this is a great achievement...... I heard that you can be said to have broken your family in the Far East to support the cause of the Volunteers! Okay, although I am not the commander of the Volunteers, I also want to reward you, what do you want to order?"
"Don't dare, don't dare to ask for a reward...... General Xiang took us to take revenge, this is a great grace, if we want to report it again, it will be too inhuman, don't, I don't want anything......"
"Hahaha...... Don't actually just want it, your strategy of retreating as advance is good, and I am willing to use it! That's it, you wait for a while, and I'll definitely give you a surprise after a while!"
Letting go of the confused old ginseng, Xiao Letian continued to accept gifts from all sides, and even the holy decree sent by the court of Sijiu City, he also accepted it with a smile.
After more than two hours of scrambling, it was finally the turn of the main event, and King Shangtai walked up briskly with a large plate of vermilion lacquer and a bright yellow satin covered with a gift.
"Father Shang is above, Xiao Wang congratulates Father Shang!" lifted the satin, and the bright yellow double dragon jade ring was exposed in front of everyone.
