The whole map is made of whole rhinoceros leather, painted with colorful Western ink, and the gold and silver threads are intertwined, and the entire city and wilderness, mountains and rivers of the Taisho Dynasty are clear at a glance.

On the map, several small countries around Taisho are marked with the word vassal, especially a piece of land outside the Kanto region, which is directly included in the territory of Taisho.

Taizu fought all his life, and became the male lord of Weijia Sea from a cloth cloth, winning the admiration of all the people. It's just that there are two hateful things in life, one is that the prince Zhu Feng died early, and the national capital of Taizheng was shaken. It's just that people's longevity is the destiny of heaven, and no matter how eloquent Taizu is, there is no way to think about it.

The other is that the frontier has not been stable.

The Yue Kingdom to the south of Taisho had already surrendered, and the Daiguo to the north had also sent envoys to pass through it early, and it was originally a feudal screen.

There is no problem with this south and north, but the Qin State in the west has been martial since ancient times, and has constantly refused to bow to Taizu, but has repeatedly harassed the frontier of Taizheng and created friction.

There is also Han County in the northeast, the people are fierce, relying on the favorable time and place of the black mountain and white water, and there have been constant rebellions.

These two places have become Taizu's heart disease. I had the intention to fight, but I was too old, and the generals under my command were all dying, and the young generals had no choice but to give up.

It was only to send the King of Luo and the King of Ji, the two most heroic princes, to guard the western and northeastern frontiers respectively.

Liu Ruchang has been following Taizu for a long time, so he naturally knows his thoughts, so he found someone to make this map of the whole world, which means that Dazheng will eventually solve the border troubles and comfort Taizu's worries.

Taizu's fingers lightly swiped over the map, stroking those gold and silver threads, as if he was personally stepping on the mountains and rivers of Taizheng, and his face was also a little moved.

"Good ......, good ......"

While stroking, Taizu said, "Prime Minister, I am so happy with this congratulatory gift, tell me, what do you want me to reward you?" ”

"It is the duty of a minister to relieve His Majesty's worries. What's more, the emperor has long ordered Weichen to make a full map, and it is a sin to delay it to this day. Your Majesty does not punish the ministers, but it is the grace of your Majesty, how dare the ministers take credit for themselves? ”

Liu Ruchang hurriedly replied. The words are very decent, and the one hand is extremely skillful in retreating and playing.

"Besides, it is the will of God that this map can be made smoothly, but it is only through the hands of the ministers. The hand of the heavenly minister to present this picture to the emperor is a sign of the emperor's long life and my Taizheng Weijia sea. ”

Liu Ruchang said and took the lead in kneeling. Seeing this, the hundred officials behind also hurriedly fell to the ground, and shouted together,

"I wish the emperor a long and blessed life, and I am Dazheng Weijia Hainei!"

"You old fox is pretending to be a good ......," Zhu Ping'an said with a dark smile.

Seeing this, Taizu turned around and returned to the dragon chair, his face seemed calm as usual, but his heart was turbulent, obviously very excited.

"Rise up......

He waved his hand slightly, as if he was the male lord who waved his hand in the clouds.

…………

At this point, everyone has finished offering their gifts.

As for Zhu Ping'an's remarks just now, "The hour has not yet come, it is not appropriate to give gifts", everyone only thought that he was talking nonsense casually, and they did not take it to heart.

Chen Buda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rubbed to An Legong's side, and said a few words openly and sarcastically, which made the old man discouraged, but there was no way to attack.

Liu He also had a sarcastic smile on his face, and glanced at Zhu Ping'an from time to time.

Seeing this, Fu Di, Lan Xian and other small magnates who were good friends with Zhu Ping'an were resentful in their hearts, but they didn't dare to stand up for Zhu Ping'an.

Only Zhu Ping'an was sure in his heart and naturally turned a blind eye.

"Sure enough, he was born to ask for food, and he didn't know what shame was. This son humiliated you, but he fell into his own identity. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an didn't seem to be humiliated at all, and still looked indifferent, Liu He was extremely unhappy in his heart, and he secretly hated it.

According to the custom, the emperor gave a banquet next, leaving the ministers to drink in the palace.

In today's congratulatory gifts, there are quite a few things that are in line with Taizu's heart, which is to toast with the ministers, and he also drank a few glasses shallowly.

Zhu Shouwen was afraid that the emperor's grandfather was old and could not drink enough, so he persuaded a few words on the side.

When the ministers saw this, they did not dare to pay any more respect, so they fought with each other and drank wine.

The officials of Liu Ruchang's faction laughed at him casually under the pretext of toasting An Legong.

At this time, An Le Gong simply broke the jar and broke it, no matter what they said, he didn't refute the explanation, but the wine was dry, and in less than half an hour, he was five or six points drunk.

Zhu Ping'an sat on the side, and did not persuade each other, but just drank lightly.

Fu Di and Lan Xian saw that he was not very interested, thinking that he had just been angry with Liu He, and they were depressed in their hearts, so they didn't have the heart to come to him to fight wine.

Zhu Xin's little prince didn't care about it, and drank a few cups with Zhu Ping'an.

At this time, the inside of the Taiji Hall was brightly lit, but the outside was completely dark.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Zhu Ping'an, who had been pouring himself a drink, gently put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up.

He walked to the middle of the main hall, regardless of everyone, and saluted Taizu, and then said loudly, "The minister Zhu Ping'an invites the emperor and the grandson to move outside the hall, and the minister's father Zhu Zhong has a congratulatory gift to the emperor!" ”

Zhu Ping'an secretly lucked his true qi, and the voice was extremely loud, although it was noisy in the hall, everyone could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

So they all stopped feasting and looked at Zhu Ping'an together.

"The minister Zhu Ping'an invited the emperor and the grandson to move outside the palace, and the minister's father Zhu Zhong has a congratulatory gift to the emperor!"

Zhu Ping'an saw that the entire hall was quiet, and repeated it again.

"What the hell is this little beggar doing?"

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an really wanted to give a gift, Liu He had some doubts in his heart, and his face was cloudy.

Taizu naturally heard Zhu Ping'an's words clearly, and glanced at Zhu Shouwen.

"Oh? Xiao Anzi, what are you doing that you have to look outside the big hall? ”

Zhu Shouwen was also quite surprised.

It's just that Zhu Ping'an has brought him a lot of surprises recently, which makes him have a hunch, I'm afraid that Zhu Ping'an really has an unexpected joy today, so he asked with a smile.

"This ......, the minister can't say clearly, when the emperor and His Royal Highness move outside the hall, they will naturally be able to see it."

Zhu Ping'an replied confidently.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's confident appearance, Liu He became more and more annoyed in his heart, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Is there any treasure that can overpower my father's whole map?" This kind of trickery is just the act of a clown jumping off the beam, and it is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation. ”

Liu Ruchang remembered the matter of the tengu eating the sun, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Grandpa Huang, why don't you go and take a look?"

Zhu Shouwen smiled and asked Taizu's opinion. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the emperor's grandfather had always looked at An Le Gong differently, and since he had a congratulatory gift to offer, he would definitely go to see it.

"It's good to see......"

Taizu really slightly, and walked down the white jade steps with Zhu Shouwen's support.

The two ancestors and grandsons took the lead, and the ministers followed behind and came to the outside of the hall together.

From the high terrace, you can see the whole of Kyoto. The lights in the city are lit up and there is something quiet.

Zhu Ping'an took out a short bamboo tube from his arms, lit the fuse with a flint, and after a burst of green smoke, he saw a firelight rushing straight into the quiet night sky of Kyoto, accompanied by a loud bang, and a gorgeous firework suddenly bloomed in the air.
