CHAPTER XLII
CHAPTER XLII
At the end of the wide main road of the palace, the palace gate had already been opened, and along the way were a column of energetic royal forest troops, holding □□ and wearing armor standing on both sides of the road, and farther away, the Praetorian Guards were entering through the noon gate with the envoys of all countries in orderly steps, and the envoys of different colors showed exclamations as soon as they entered the palace.
It is not that there are no exquisite and vast buildings in various countries, they may be unique in shape or occupy a large area, but when they see the magnificent buildings at the end through the long main road, they can't help but show a shocked expression.
The bright yellow tile cover, the gilded copper pillars, and the red palace wall, the early morning light is sprinkled on it, and the golden reflection shines brightly, making people seem to see the palace in the sky.
"Oh God, did I see heaven?" a robed stranger prostrated himself on the ground and prayed to the palace.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the Praetorian Guard couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and snorted with pride in his heart, but he still barely restrained his expressionless and majestic temperament.
No way, my palace in Dajin is so cool, haven't you seen it?
I completely forgot that every time I saw this palace, I had to complain that my eyes were blind!
And the leader of the Praetorian Guard was able to hold on, but the envoys of other countries couldn't hold back, and the envoys in front of them even showed annoyed expressions - oh no, why didn't they think of doing this just now, what a good opportunity, how could they let this small border country take the lead, it was simply too cunning and hateful!
No, they can't be left behind!
So the leader of the Praetorian Guard was barely holding the corners of his mouth up, when he heard the other envoys praise in their half-baked Dajin dialect, "Ah, look at the golden palace roof, it must be made of gold!"
"Ah, look at that beautiful pillar, with mysterious patterns on it, how wonderful!"
"Ah, look at this neat road, the color is so beautiful!"
"Ah, look at these mighty soldiers, how strong!"
"Seeing Dajin again, it's really, woo woo, I'm so moved......"
An envoy couldn't think of what to praise for a while, so he had to shed tears of emotion, and when he saw the tearful face, several other envoys were suddenly disgusted, and a little angry, and actually played the emotional card, shameless!
The leader of the Praetorian Guard also looked at the stranger a little stiffly, although he was proud and proud, but when he saw the red nose and eyes, and the blur, he immediately turned his head and pretended not to see.
Tsk, Inhumans just have no culture, and it's worth making a fuss about such a little thing, it's so ugly to even cry, don't look at it.
What happened at the gate of the palace was only a short episode, and as the Praetorian Guards stopped drinking, the envoys also quieted down again, and walked along the main road in order towards the Minghua Palace—the main road of the palace was ten miles long, so that by the time the Praetorian Guards arrived at the Minghua Hall with a group of envoys, half an hour had passed.
A group of envoys were already exhausted and out of breath at this time, and they looked at the guards in front of them, and they only felt extremely puzzled - how could these people walk for half an hour without panting and even at the same speed?
It's not scientific!
The Praetorian Guard said: They don't discuss this with the weak chickens, do they understand that this is called kung fu?
And when you arrive at the Minghua Palace, the first thing you see is the emperor sitting at the top, then the concubines and princes sitting on the side, and then the ministers sitting closer, the various classes are orderly and distinct, and there are hundreds of people sitting in the whole hall, but they are not crowded at all.
The envoys kowtowed to the emperor sitting on it in turn, "Toms, the envoy of the Eagle Kingdom, greets His Majesty of the Great Jin Dynasty, may His Majesty enjoy eternal blessings, longevity and heaven, long live!"
"Plum envoy Pulis meets ......"
"Mastiff envoy Shi Rong visits ......"
……
And after each country has submitted its credentials in turn, this time the pilgrimage of all countries has officially begun!
First of all, there is the year coin, that is, finance.
You must know that as a subject country of the Great Jin, although the Great Jin gave them an independent regime, the New Year's coins that should be paid are still essential, and this part of the New Year's coins is the protection fee of various countries!
If other countries dare to attack the subject country under the protection of the Great Jin, then it is a provocation to the Great Jin, and it is possible to borrow troops from the Great Jin, of course, if you really borrow troops, there will be borrowing soldiers, manpower costs, weapon wear and tear costs, etc., but this qiē is not worth mentioning compared to whether the entire country exists or not!
So after being beaten by the Great Jin and fully understanding the combat effectiveness of the Great Jin, even though a few slightly stronger countries did not want to pay the New Year's coin, they still succumbed under the iron rod of the Great Jin.
And those weak and small countries are even more desperate, although there are many coins, but the Great Jin is a really, good, and dominant country! If it weren't for the Great Jin, they would have been wiped out a hundred times!
Therefore, for the annual New Year's coins sent to the court, all countries have always paid very happily, and looking at the boxes of real money and silver placed in the heavy boxes of various countries, the emperor is also very happy.
The happiest time every three years is now, so much gold and silver, can be counted for a long, long time!
Yes, the emperor has a very strange hobby in private, that is, counting silver!
Whenever the emperor had something to worry about, or was turned away by the concubines, or was sprayed with blood by the ministers, he would secretly go to the treasury of the palace - count the silver!
Listening to the wonderful sound of silver colliding with each other, piece by piece, gradually turning into piles and piles, the emperor's mood became better and better as the silver became more and more.
What could be more beautiful than counting these silvers?
It's refreshing to listen to these sounds!
And because of this, the treasury of the palace has never been stolen, and there is such an emperor who loves to count silver, and if he wants to be greedy for ink, it is also a difficult thing!
Therefore, since the emperor took office, the annual coin has changed from the pearl and gem set by the emperor to today's gold and silver - pearl gem is a small point, although the value is high, but afraid of bumping and bumping, the quantity is small, how can there be silver to count the refreshing?
As a result, the hard currency now in circulation in various countries is no longer the original gemstones, but gold and silver!
If there is a gold and silver mine in anyone's territory, it will be made!
And after sneaking over the gold and silver, the amount of which was definitely enough, and much more, the emperor was finally satisfied, and gave the envoys a seat.
Of course, in addition to the New Year's currency, countries also have gifts, in the past few years countries have been popular to send native products, what native animals and plants strange species or something, in recent years, these countries are fond of sending weapons.
Because it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes weapons!
Yes, since I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the year before last, the envoys of various countries have been heartbroken.
Oh my God, the Great Evil Star of the First Emperor is back!
Yes, because he looked so similar to the emperor's grandfather, especially that temperament, that many envoys who thought that the first emperor was dead mistook the crown prince for the first emperor, even if the emperor repeatedly explained that they did not believe it, and they were so frightened that they almost fainted.
There is no way, the shadow area brought to them by the first emperor is too large, and many countries still hang portraits of the first emperors, and the king and queen will hold the portraits of the first emperors every time they teach the little prince and say, "If you cry again, let the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty come and eat you!"
As a result, the psychological shadow area of these countries towards the former emperor has increased from generation to generation, and now it has shrouded the hearts of all children in the country.
"If you cry again, let the first emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty eat you!" is the common nightmare of all children when they are young.
So much so that when he saw the nightmare come true, all the envoys almost didn't cry.
Sure enough, the Great Demon King is immortal, and he will be reborn Woo Woo!
So after secretly inquiring that the Great Demon King likes weapons, in order to make the Great Demon King feel comfortable and not play casually, the kings of all countries invariably plan to change the gift into a weapon, and write this into the national policy, which is bound to be passed on forever before the Great Demon King dies.
So at this time, the most advanced weapons of various countries are on display in the hall, and of course, for the sake of safety, these weapons are sealed and put in the storehouse, and then they can be viewed when it is safe.
The short gift-giving ceremony was over, and the corners of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mouth turned up once when he saw his favorite weapon, although it was only an insignificant one, but it was also seen by the envoys of various countries who were secretly observing.
"The Great Demon King is satisfied!"
"Look, the corners of the Great Demon King's mouth are upturned!"
"Whew, if the Great Demon King likes it, it's fine!"
"Woo, it's safe again this year, the Great Demon King won't come back to our country and force us to read the Four Books and Five Classics, it's great! The word Da Jin is simply heretical! It's too difficult to write!"
"Sure enough, the Great Demon King likes weapons, well, he must send better weapons when he arrives at the end of the year!"
Only Xiao Xing looked at the words on the heads of many messengers and was very puzzled, who is this big demon king?
I always think it sounds cool!
