Chapter 4: Enthronement Ceremony
"What about this painting, my request is very simple, just draw what you think now!"
After Han Feng finished speaking, Fang Meng and Yun Qian began to paint, Yun Qian's painting was flowing with clouds and water, wonderful brushstrokes and flowers, and the flowers and butterflies she painted were lifelike.
And Fang Meng scribbled on the paper with a brush, making it impossible to see that she was painting thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Han Feng took a closer look and said, "What are you painting here?" β
"Thousands of miles away! Doesn't I look like a painting of the king? β
"Like! These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can't be described in paintings, your abstract painting method is really seconds! β
Yan Ran stepped forward and looked at the two paintings and said, "Your Majesty, please give a score!" β
"This skill accounts for five points, and the title also accounts for five points, Yun Qian's skills are very deep and lacks the title and only scores 5 points, although Fang Meng's painting is very poor, but the artistic conception of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is 5 points!"
Yan Ran was suddenly annoyed, Han Feng was simply a strong word, if it weren't for Yun Qian's 14 points more than Fang Meng, he really had to argue with Han Feng.
Fang Buqun saw the fire in Yan Ran's eyes and hurriedly urged: "It's not too early for the king at this time, let's hurry up and finish this last game!" β
Han Feng turned around and faced the two women, and said: "This last written test is the most important, and the topic is thousands of miles away!" β
The queen is not a vase, the harem has to be managed, and it is naturally not bad in military and political affairs, the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Great Qin, and the eight major political queens of the Song Dynasty, these are all people who are proficient in political affairs.
"Your Majesty, the scouts have something important to ask to see the king!"
As soon as Yan Ran waved his hand, the eunuch immediately took the scout in.
The scout held the secret letter in his hand and handed it to Yan Ran and said, "General Yan, the king, Fang Xiangguo, and Zhao have gathered 100,000 horses outside the mountain scale pass!" β
After reading the secret letter, Yan Ran walked up to Han Feng and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom wants to start a war with our country, and the ministers expect that they will attack the Mountain Scale Pass at the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, and please make a decision!" β
This is clearly testing Han Feng, what to do Yan Ran knows very well in his heart, and the 80,000 mercenaries in the Mountain Scale Pass are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Zhao Guo uses five times the number of troops, he may not be able to break through.
Han Feng took the secret letter and found that he couldn't understand any of the words in it, the words of the secret letter had been specially processed, except for those who knew the secret words, the rest of the people could not understand it.
"General Yan Ran, I remember that there are 80,000 garrisons in Shanlu Pass, and his Zhao army is only 100,000, so he will not dare to attack rashly, I have not yet ascended the throne Zhao State to give this great gift, and I will return the gift!"
After Han Feng finished speaking, he looked at Yan Ran and Fang Buqun's faces very calmly, and he didn't take Zhao Guo's attack seriously at all, but instead looked like giving himself an exam question and watching himself answer.
Yan Ran let out a sonorous voice and said, "How is the king going to return the gift to Zhao Guo?" β
Han Feng said with a smile: "Outside the mountain scale pass is the Shang Moss City of Zhao State, and after I ascend the throne, I will personally lead the troops to attack Zhao State!" β
Fang Buqun hurriedly stepped forward to block Yan Ran, he knew that Yan Ran would definitely support Han Feng's personal expedition, but this was an extremely risky thing, he didn't want the new king who had just ascended the throne to have an accident.
"Never! This country can't be left without an owner for a day, and the king's ministers don't agree to it! β
"Fang Xiangguo, you have also seen the strength of my king with your own eyes, that day my king killed dozens of enemy soldiers alone, and also killed Zhang Liang, who is known as the tiger general, I think my king is also the person who loves the battlefield."
Han Feng thought to himself: I was just a weapons expert before I came, I only took on three assassination missions, and I was testing the maximum capacity of the arsenal system at that time, but I didn't know what was wrong, and the miniature quantum collider behind me exploded, so he traveled to this world.
"Fang Xiangguo, I must do this matter of the imperial conquest, don't stop me, then the city gate of the Zhao army will be self-defeating!"
Han Feng now especially wants to use Italian artillery to attack the city, and he wants to test how powerful this 20th century cannon is.
"Your Majesty! You are the king of a country, and this matter of driving a personal expedition is not trivial, and the minister will resolutely not agree! β
It just so happened that at this time, Yun Qian and Fang Meng's articles had already been written, and Han Feng did not continue to debate with Fang Buqun about the matter of the imperial conquest, and hurriedly went to check the documents written by the two.
"Old Fang, I know your worries, this time I will accompany the king, and promise not to let the king lose half a hair!"
"Humph! Don't think I don't know what you think, what good is this vanity for the king? It's not that you don't know the ferocity of the cavalry of the Zhao army! β
The Zhao army is famous for its cavalry, the iron cavalry of the Zhao State can be said to be a single inch of grass everywhere it goes, the Zhao State is located in the plain, which is very suitable for raising horses, so the Zhao army has 200,000 cavalry, and it is good at rushing to fight, and it is common to sneak attack the camp.
After reading the articles of the two, Han Feng already had the person in his heart, even if he didn't have any feelings for the two people in front of him, at most he was just greedy for the beauty of the two, but under the pressure of Yan Ran and Fang Buqun, they must all be included in the harem, the king wants to marry freely is simply a fool's dream, you don't want it, you are forced to ask for it.
"Yunqian's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are peaceful, full of beautiful yearning for life, I give 30 points!"
"Thank you, the king!"
"Fang Meng's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are a little complaining, expressing dissatisfaction with the king and disdain for foreign powers."
Hearing this, Fang Buqun panicked, and dared to write that he was dissatisfied with the king, this girl is really not afraid of death, although she is a minister, but after all, the royal power is above the relative power, once this kind of thing is used by someone with a heart to make a fuss, I am afraid that her status as a minister will not be guaranteed.
Fang Buqun hurriedly checked Fang Meng's article and said, "Please also ask the king to forgive your sins!" The little girl is young, and such a rebellious text is definitely not the original intention of the little girl! β
Han Feng hurriedly helped Fang Buqun up and said: "Fang Xiangguo, why are you, I think this article is very well written, the king is not a perfect person, everyone is at fault, I will give 50 points for this article!" β
Although Yun Qian was unwilling, she still pretended to be happy on the surface, she walked up to Fang Meng and said, "Congratulations to my sister, please take care of my sister in the future!" β
"Definitely, definitely!"
After determining the candidate for the queen, Yan Ran was very unhappy, although Yun Qian was not cultivated by himself, but he was also a person he loved and cared about since he was a child, since he would lose to a girl with a little wildness, he really couldn't figure it out.
Han Feng saw Yan Ran's unhappiness, he didn't want Chu State to lose such a god general, he hurriedly said: "I am going to set up the East and West Palace, both of them are queens, Fang Meng is the queen of the East Palace, in charge of the rewards and punishments of the harem, and Yun Qian is the queen of the West Palace, in charge of the finances of the harem." β
Yan Ran was in a good mood when he heard this, and hurriedly congratulated: "I'm Wang Shengming!" β
Then everyone, including the eunuchs and guards, hurriedly followed He Dao: "I, Wang Shengming! β
The day of the enthronement ceremony
Han Feng was dressed in a black and red dress, very heavy, and he walked up to the altar under the gaze of tens of thousands of subjects.
Everyone in the audience was excited, this scene was extremely huge, especially the majesty of the altar, everyone looked serious, even the children who usually love to cry stopped crying.
After reading the oath, Han Feng began to talk about how he wanted to make the Chu State become after he ascended the throne.
"I Hanfeng, today enthroned as the king of Chu, the year name Xuanwu, I am bound to lead the subjects of Chu to become rich and strong, so that the whole world will submit to my Great Chu, once again I declare that the temples in Chu will no longer have tax exemptions, slave fields and other privileges, and all the temples built during the reign of the former King of Chu will be demolished! This second thing, the state of Chu will go to war in the state of Zhao! β
Speaking of this, there was an uproar in the audience, this war is a matter of labor and money, the people are unwilling to go to war, this war will have to levy grain, they can only barely eat enough now, and if they levy again, they will be hungry.
Under the reprimand of the guards, the scene finally fell silent.
Han Feng continued: "During the war with the Zhao State, no department of the Chu State is allowed to levy grain, please rest assured that the army of the Zhao State is now outside the Mountain Scale Pass, and the Zhao State looks down on my Great Chu, and the Zhao State will definitely be punished as it deservesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·!"
Now everyone in Fengyuan City is talking about Pengbai, and many people are eager to go to Shanlu Pass to fight with the Zhao army, and tens of thousands of people and soldiers chant in unison! The majestic sound resounded in the sky, and the birds that flew by had to make a detour.
"King Chu Xuanwu is mighty! Defeat the Zhao State! β
"King Chu Xuanwu is mighty! Defeat the Zhao State! β
β¦β¦
The ceremony went very smoothly, and after meeting with the important ministers facing him, Han Feng asked the scholars of various regions to wait for him in the inner hall, and he was going to teach them the theory of grafting and hybridization, so that they could first improve the productivity of the farmer's grain.
After Han Feng arrived in the inner hall and began to impart what he knew, everyone was amazed, and what they didn't expect was that the new king had such a high level of knowledge and could say a bunch of words that they couldn't understand.
"Do you understand?"
Everyone was silent, what hybrid rice, all kinds of messy technical terms, they had never heard of it.
A man in white looked left and right, stood up and said: "Back to the king, the grass people have a general understanding, the grafting and hybrid rice you mentioned, this grafting is recorded in the ancient books, but it has not been popularized for the time being, and this hybrid technology is really a great move, using the characteristics of different plants to create more perfect plants, my king is really a god." β
There are still a lot of professional theories to be said, and this content is indeed a bit much.
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Grass people, Zhang Qianhua."
"It is up to you to teach these scholars these days, and I have here a manuscript of the relevant knowledge, and I will give it to you, and in a week the examination will be completed, and those who have all the theoretical knowledge will be able to leave the palace."
Hanfeng only teaches theory, and as for practice, it will be created by this group of scholars, as long as one person succeeds, it will be the gospel of the whole country, and he is worried that there is no food in the Great Chu Country?
Zhang Qianhua walked up to Han Feng and said respectfully: "The king's ministers have a plan to offer, and they also ask my king Xu Caomin to make superficial remarks!" β
Han Feng felt that Zhang Qianhua, who was mediocre-looking, seven feet tall and had a strong physique, would be a rare talent.
"Say, what?"
"Your Majesty, this productive force is inseparable from the fields and the masses, now most people in Chu have no fields in their hands, and all they plant are official fields, and their official land taxes account for sixty percent, resulting in a large number of official fields that are not planted, and the grass people implore the king to reduce the official land taxes."
As soon as Han Feng heard it, he understood that although this Zhang Qianhua was not a great talent, some things were still very clear, and he could be regarded as a talent, what he lacked now was vision, if his vision was broadened, he could give full play to the talent in his mind.
"I'll discuss this matter with Xiangguo, you go down!"
