Chapter 1918: The Dawn of the Empire
At the moment when the morning light first appeared, the rolling sky light pushed the dark clouds left by the night to clear up, and the rooster stretched its neck towards the sky, and the whole world was white.
The bronze bell hanging on the central pavilion rang three times in a row to announce the lifting of the curfew, and the mansions on both sides of the royal street opened the main gates one after another, and the servants swept down the carpets and waited for the officials wearing court clothes to board the sedan chair to go to court.
Standing on the top of Bai Yujing's tallest castle tower, Xiao Meiyan has a clear view of the empire awakened in the dawn, the rapid development of industry has not yet made it a city that never sleeps, and when the street lamps holding the circuit are popularized, and then the electric lights are also brought into the homes of ordinary people, Bai Yujing will not have such a big difference between day and night on that day.
It was not enough to see Bai Yujing's world in one day and one night, and Xiao Meiyan, who had changed into a fur suit in an instant, jumped off the city tower, and she saw that the West Market was the most lively in the morning, where there were still many foreign merchants coming and going.
The goods they sell are naturally not eye-catching, but the important thing is their people.
There was such a respectful guest in the capital, and it was natural that it came to the ears of the little emperor.
Now the little emperor is in his twenties, which is not too young, and after being supported to ascend the throne, he has taken over the power by stepping on the bloody road, and his power is increasing day by day. At the beginning of the industrial age, the production of materials showed a blowout development, the pockets of the common people and the elite were much bulging than before, and the main contradiction of the people was not in the rule of autocracy when too many interests were worth fighting, on the contrary, they were full of gratitude to the emperor from top to bottom, and it was precisely because of his efforts to promote industrial development that there was today's situation, which made the emperor's prestige catch up with the founding ancestor.
Today is the Great Imperial Meeting, and the officials are neatly standing under the jade steps, and the chief officials of all parties report to the emperor the results of their work for ten years. At the beginning, Li Xiaobei set a small goal for the little emperor to become the real co-master of the world, so in recent years, the little emperor has also worked hard in this direction.
Thanks to the efforts of the people who were generally physically strong, the railroad that symbolized the blood vessels of the empire had reached the end of the territory in the four directions of the south, east, and west, and years of war propaganda and mobilization had made the whole empire eager to try and prepare to use their new weapons and equipment to conquer those backward countries.
Now the will of the empire revolves around the main theme of war, but the world's high-end combat power is a problem that cannot be ignored, and peerless masters such as Shaojun Lianhua and Chuan Luobai also exist in foreign lands, and they all have the strong strength to break the army alone.
Because of Li Xiaobei's battle in Tiange, the old man of Tiange, who had the most appeal in the rivers and lakes, died tragically, Chuan Luobai was also exiled by Li Xiaobei to the snow country in the north and could not leave for life, Lianhua was even taken away from this world by Li Xiaobei, and the top combat power in the empire withered so much that only Shaojun remained, and as for the rest, it was even worse.
The little emperor wanted to understand why she took Lianhua but not Shaojun, if Shaojun didn't leave his great cause, it would be difficult to succeed, and it was even possible that he would be besieged by the surrounding countries because of the influence of the withering of top masters, so what the emperor is looking forward to most now is to persuade Shaojun to join the foreign campaign, but it is difficult to persuade him, and it is useless to move Li Xiaobei out.
Shaojun is the emperor's elder, the savior of the imperial family, and a peerless powerhouse who is beyond the imperial power.
The court has already begun to discuss the plan for the west, and the barbarians living there are all brave and ruthless, and there is also a strong person in the flesh who has fought with Lianhua, and they must be prepared for how to deal with such a peerless master if Shaojun does not make a move.
After all, the ordinary people in the red dust only knew that Shaojun's existence was very strong, but they couldn't estimate how strong it was, and they couldn't estimate how strong it was, and the little emperor was sullen and unhappy, until the eunuch who was close to him reported to him that Bai Yujing had the whereabouts of a peerless beauty, not only did Shaojun sit with her for a long time, but she also went into the Qinglou to make a ridiculous scene.
It's just that no one can depict the other party's posture and face in detail, because no one dares to look at Xiao Meiyan's appearance in detail, even Xue Lingyun, who stroked the piano in front of her all night, also lowered her head most of the time, maybe Shaojun can clearly depict it, but he naturally has no reason to do so.
Almost all the words that describe the beauty of beauty have been put on Xiao Meiyan's body by people who have seen each other, but when the eunuch relayed it to the emperor, the emperor naturally made up the other party's brain as Li Xiaobei, and he was extremely convinced, because the things Xiao Meiyan did were very similar to what Li Xiaobei would do.
She's back, why didn't she come to see me?
The little emperor who reigns over the world has never suffered like this after eradicating the ministers, and the eunuchs who are familiar with his every move have long known that the emperor has a heart for Li Xiaobei, but that kind of girl is not what the imperial power can force, and the emperor wants to pursue her worse than an ordinary person, because he never needs to think about how to please girls, and he is very inexperienced in this regard.
Although the emperor has many beauties, he has no heirs so far, and if the knot in Li Xiaobei's heart is not removed, this will definitely become a hidden danger for the empire.
"Your Majesty, did you send a personal guard to invite her into the imperial city?"
After thinking about it, the little emperor shook his head and said, "If she wants to come, she will naturally come, and if she doesn't want to invite her, she won't come." ”
The eunuch knew that this was the emperor's gains and losses, and he was afraid that this would make Li Xiaobei angry, and he was also worried that he would not be able to get off the stage if he sent someone to be rejected by Li Xiaobei.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, he would not even be able to pursue a girl like this.
Because he is an emperor, his idea eunuchs can only follow it, and he sent additional people to investigate the woman's whereabouts, asking them to find out the other party's appearance rather than just bringing back the speculation of chasing the wind and shadows, in the eunuch's heart, he is not so sure that the other party is Li Xiaobei.
It didn't take long for the spies who had the courage to describe Xiao Meiyan's appearance to bring the news back, Xiao Meiyan naturally wouldn't be aware that she was secretly drawing herself, but she didn't care so much, there was a lot of movement yesterday, and it was strange that no one came to investigate her details today, nothing in this world could pose a threat to her, and she still walked very easily.
After the other party was dressed in purple-black clothes and uninhibited long hair, the eunuch who had seen Li Xiaobei immediately judged that she was not Li Xiaobei.
