At this time, outside the Taihe Palace, the waiting officials and nobles were already lined up on both sides, making way for them, and watched in amazement as the eunuchs in the palace came to the Taihe Hall with Zhao Junchen's congratulatory gifts. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

There are more than 100 eunuchs holding congratulatory gifts, and each eunuch holds a large umbrella cover in his hand, and under the umbrella cover, there are countless silk strips, and a large number of names are densely written on the silk strips.

This is the umbrella of all people!!

Although the shapes are different, although the sizes are different, although these Wanmin umbrellas do not seem to be formal, although most of the officials present have never received Wanmin umbrellas in their lives, but seeing the big umbrellas held by the eunuchs in their hands, as well as the silk strips under the umbrellas, everyone still recognizes that these are indeed Wanmin umbrellas!!

On the other side, standing on the imperial steps, Emperor Deqing, with the support of the ministers, saw the birthday gifts sent by Zhao Junchen, and obviously guessed that these were the umbrellas of the people, and then thought of Zhao Junchen's words of "giving gifts on behalf of others", although he was calm, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

As an emperor who is so happy and self-proclaimed saint, and now that he has no shortage of money, what could make him more satisfied and show off than the people giving him the Wanmin Umbrella as a gift?

Throughout the ages, how many emperors have received the people's umbrellas from the people?

What's more, he still sent hundreds of umbrellas to the people in one go?

"Zhao Aiqing......" Emperor Deqing's voice seemed to be calm, but he stared at the Wanmin umbrella under the imperial stairs without blinking, and asked, "What are these?" On behalf of whom are you giving gifts? ”

Understanding Emperor Deqing's knowingly questioning thoughts, Zhao Junchen came out and used his loudest voice to let the officials and nobles outside the Taihe Palace hear it.

"Your Majesty, these are the umbrellas made by the people of Lu'an Mansion overnight when the minister inspected the disaster situation in Lu'an Mansion on behalf of His Majesty a few days ago, and they were all conscious. That's a hundred and seventeen! During the inspection of Lu'an Mansion by His Majesty, the people of your Majesty's love for the people were seen in their eyes and remembered in their hearts when the ministers returned to Beijing. The people even blocked the way, and the ministers sent these umbrellas to His Majesty. ”

After a pause. Zhao Junchen continued: "Your Majesty, you just said. This birthday ceremony has allowed you to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the loyalty and filial piety of the officials and people in the world, and the harmony between the monarchs and ministers of the court, but in the eyes of the ministers, you have missed one point, that is, your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the people respect your Majesty like a father! Your Majesty, don't think that the style of these Wanmin umbrellas is shabby, as far as the minister knows, the people of Lu'an Mansion have just experienced a locust plague and are living in poverty and embarrassment, but in order to make these Wanmin umbrellas for you. The cloth and silk used are donated by the people, and many people finally have a good shirt, and they are reluctant to wear it once in a few years, but in order to make an umbrella for your majesty. But without hesitation, he cut it into the material used to make the umbrella of the people, so loyal and filial, the minister remembered it whenever he remembered. I feel very moved, and the actions of the people can show your prestige and holy name in the hearts of the people! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Emperor Deqing only felt that his birthday banquet was out of the limelight, and in the future, he would call himself a "holy monarch and a master", and he also had the confidence, and the joy in his heart was no longer enough to be an outsider, but he just said three "good" words in a row.

After a long time, Emperor Deqing reluctantly looked away, and raised his voice to order: "Come on, put these Wanmin umbrellas into the main hall of the Taihe Palace, and walk with me today, where I go, these Wanmin umbrellas will follow." After the birthday ceremony, you should also treasure it carefully! Since it is the will of the people, as a king, I must not slack off. Spread my will again, and Lu'an Mansion will be exempted from taxes this year to spread my kindness! ”

As Emperor Deqing's words fell, everyone was a burst of "His Majesty Xià Shengming", during which there were all kinds of flattery and sycophants, and the more interested Emperor Deqing was, the more he laughed.

………

And when Emperor Deqing was happy, the surrounding officials were complicated.

Giving the emperor an umbrella for all people seems to be shocking and unruly, but Zhao Junchen obviously slapped the right fart again.

This time for Deqing's birthday, the limelight was really stolen by Zhao Junchen again, and it was more limelight than in previous years, the previous fifty-five large pendulum clocks were already amazing, and Emperor Deqing also liked it, but compared with this umbrella of the people, it was nothing.

Many people, surprised, have begun to look forward to Zhao Junchen's third gift. If the third congratulatory gift is more satisfying than the Wanmin umbrella, how will Emperor Deqing reward Zhao Junchen after the birthday ceremony?

Among them, the thoughts of the crown prince Zhu and Yu are the most complicated.

Zhu Heyu paid the most attention to Zhao Junchen, when Zhao Junchen left Lu'an Mansion, he received rumors of Wanmin Umbrella, and Zhu Heyu also heard a little, but for such rumors, Zhu Heyu didn't believe it at all, with a corrupt official like Zhao Junchen, how could he receive the people's Wanmin Umbrella?

At this time, seeing these Wanmin umbrellas in front of him, Zhu Heyu already understood that those rumors were afraid that they were all true. If Zhao Junchen forged the Wanmin Umbrella and gave it to Emperor Deqing, it would be easy to debunk it, but once it was exposed, Emperor Deqing, who was the happiest at this time, was afraid that he would be the most angry one, and Zhao Junchen couldn't afford to take this risk.

It's just that in Zhu Heyu's opinion, Zhao Junchen must still be doing something on the Wanmin umbrella, because even if the people will send the Wanmin umbrella, they will only give it to the officials, and who will give it directly to the emperor?

Zhu Heyu wanted to debunk Zhao Junchen's trick, but in the end he held it back.

Without him, this little thing did not hinder Zhao Junchen at all, at that time, Zhao Junchen was inspecting Lu'an Mansion on behalf of Emperor Deqing as a messenger, and this umbrella was given to Zhao Junchen, which was equivalent to giving it to Emperor Deqing, at most it could only reduce the joy of Emperor Deqing, and it was not difficult to fool the past with Zhao Junchen's clever words.

The most important thing is that it is impossible for Zhu Heyu to admit that a corrupt official like Zhao Junchen actually received the people's umbrella and was praised by the people.

Therefore, in the rest of the birthday ceremony, Zhu Heyu has always been weird, and it is obvious that the news that "Zhao Junchen received the Wanmin Umbrella" came true, which had a big impact on him.

………

However, it was said that Emperor Deqing returned to the Taihe Palace, looked at the one hundred and seventeen Wanmin umbrellas on both sides of the hall, smiled on his face, and scolded Zhao Junchen with a smile: "Okay, you Zhao Junchen, since these Wanmin umbrellas were received long before returning to Beijing, you dare to hide and pinch them." Only now dedicated to me? ”

Isn't it because it's the only time to present that you can stand out in the limelight?

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Junchen's god was like a virtuous minister, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgives your sins." The minister once heard that filial piety is the foundation of human beings. And the emperor is the parent of the people of the world. It can be seen that it is natural for the people to do some loyalty and filial piety for His Majesty. However, Your Majesty lives deep in the palace and cannot have casual contact with the common people, and on your birthday, the people can only burn incense and pray at home. Feeling this, after receiving these umbrellas of the people, the minister hid them, and did not dedicate them to His Majesty until today's birthday, because in the minister's opinion. These umbrellas not only represent the feelings and filial piety of the people of Lu'an Mansion to you, but also represent the feelings and filial piety of the people of the world to you. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Emperor Deqing was overjoyed again, looking at Zhao Junchen in front of him. It is also more pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly thinking of something, Emperor Deqing said again: "By the way, Junchen, you have prepared a total of three congratulatory gifts. And what is the third gift? Hurry up and present it, ready to be behind the umbrella of the people, I'm afraid it will be even more extraordinary, right? ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said: "The third congratulatory gift, but the minister has been preparing since he entered the court as an official, and now it is finally ready, which is the most important thing in the minister's congratulatory gift this time." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, everyone in the hall became more and more curious, and they were all looking forward to it.

At Zhao Junchen's suggestion, the eunuchs in the palace finally carried the third congratulatory gift to the Taihe Palace.

This time, when everyone in the hall saw it, they knew that Zhao Junchen was a big deal, and there was only one third congratulatory gift, but it actually required more than ten eunuchs to work together to carry it.

Staring at the gods, everyone in the hall looked at each other, Zhao Junchen's third congratulatory gift turned out to be just a huge blanket, rolled up at this time, more than five feet thick, too long, obviously a huge area.

Such a large blanket is certainly precious, but it is obviously inappropriate to put it behind the Wanmin umbrella.

Just when everyone was wondering, Zhao Junchen motioned to the eunuchs in the palace to put the blanket in the middle of the Taihe Palace, and then slowly unfolded it.

As the blanket unfolded, the whole picture was displayed in the eyes of everyone in the hall, and the exclamations in the hall came one after another, and the surprised sè jumped on everyone's faces, and Emperor Deqing, who was originally sitting firmly on the imperial steps, stood up even more violently.

"This—This is ......"

Even Emperor Deqing, looking at the blanket in front of him that was one zhang wide and two zhang long, his voice trembled a little.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the territory map of my Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries!"

Zhao Junchen replied solemnly.

Looking at Emperor Deqing's surprise and joy, Zhao Junchen knew that this time, he had guessed Emperor Deqing's mind correctly.

Until Matteo Ricci came to China, China was limited by technology and investment, and had been unable to draw accurate maps, especially during the Ming Dynasty, the most accurate map was actually the "Ming Dynasty Mixed One Map" drawn by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang period, and the map was extremely inaccurate, not to mention, it was not even able to mark the national border, and the map only depicted the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and the administrative division of the state capital, but there was nothing at all.

And Zhao Junchen's map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the integration of his memory from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the drawing methods of later generations, the size of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, leaping to the top, the administrative division, rivers and mountains, is also organized, and the countries around the Ming Dynasty, Korea, Japan, Méng Gu, Annam, are not lacking.

You must know that even the vague "Da Ming Mixed One Map" is already a secret treasure in the palace, except for the emperor, ordinary people can't get it at a glance, let alone the map drawn by Zhao Junchen?

Zhao Junchen estimated that until this map appeared, everyone in the hall was afraid that it was the first time that they realized the size of the Daming Dynasty and the distribution of forces around it.

In Zhao Junchen's view, from a certain Cheng dù, the ancient emperor, or the most insecure profession, did not know the size of his country, did not know the number of people under his rule, and the officials deceived their superiors and subordinates, and even made them not know the real wealth and taxes of their country.

For an emperor like Emperor Deqing, who is ambitious and talented, this sense of insecurity is even more obvious.

And Zhao Junchen's map of the Ming Dynasty is of great significance.

It is not only necessary to dispel Emperor Deqing's insecurity, but also to make him feel proud and make him understand how vast and powerful the territory he rules.

This kind of meaning and surprise is more impactful to Emperor Deqing than the Wanmin umbrella.
