In the later history books of the Han Empire, this major celebration in the autumn of the fifth year of Emperor Hanren's health is recorded in great detail and comprehensively. Moreover, whether it is a formal official annals, or various legends and private records that circulate among the people, the voices emitted are almost unanimous.

"The Centennial Celebration of the Empire is also the beginning of the official era of super prosperity!"

This common argument, both at the time and in the long years that followed, was shared by almost all the people in the world.

In countless legends that have been passed down to future generations, even after word of mouth from generation to generation, the flag with the huge dragon pattern that rose in Suzaku Square not only did not fade, but became more and more brilliant in the baptism of the years, and stood forever.

Because, from that time on, the spirit represented by this flag has been forever engraved in the hearts of everyone who has been influenced by Chinese civilization. Carved into the bones, flowing in the blood! Passed down from generation to generation, never broken.

For those who were fortunate enough to participate in the Centennial Ceremony of the Empire at that time, the sense of honor they possessed, as well as the huge national power they were infected with, were extremely impressive. No matter what kind of person they are, after this time, they have a deeper understanding of the relationship between the country, the world and everyone.

In particular, the young Zhuang and young talents who grew up with the prosperity of the empire were particularly touched. Among these people, in the years to come, many national pillars, important ministers and outstanding talents in all aspects of society will emerge. Many people will travel across the ocean and cross the mainland to create a new territory of Chinese civilization.

But wherever they go and where they are. No matter what kind of things they do, whenever they encounter difficulties and dangers, they will never compromise, let alone surrender. Because in their beliefs, there is a spiritual support and a source of strength, which comes from the courage of the heart and the surging blood! It also comes from the far east of the birthplace of Chinese civilization!

And Chang'an, the heart of the Han Empire, is where all these dreams began. This includes the dreams of great pioneers, but also the ordinary aspirations of countless ordinary people...... And no matter what kind of dreams people have, they will eventually achieve them. Because, they all have a strong backing in common.

"Anyone who joins my Chinese nationality is under the protection of the empire. No matter where they were, the Han Empire's army was its strongest backing. ”

Many people only know that these words were first spoken by the Han Dynasty, but few people know under what circumstances they were said. Of course, there are not a few people who know the source of this most famous quote of the empire. As a person who experienced it firsthand, a young man named Huo Guang remembers it better than anyone else. Because it was he who personally wrote down these sentences for the first time.

Five years of health, Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, the Mansion of the Han Kingdom.

In the last three days of the upcoming centennial ceremony, it is obviously the most tense and busy time for the imperial court. And the Han Mansion has finally lost its former peace. It's starting to get hectic.

Yuan Zhao's idle days when he was finally busy are gone. Even if he wants to continue to be lazy, he doesn't go to the court to be on duty. Available every day

The government documents sent over were piled up on the desk, so he had to fight his spirits and sit down to read them.

At this time, a feeling of being cocooned and bound will be extremely strong. Yuan Zhao looked at the stacks of extraordinarily tall documents, and smiled bitterly. The reform of government affairs that he desperately wants to implement is to avoid this from happening. However, it was a long process after all, and during the period when the stalls had just been rolled out, the situation was exceptional, and there were too many things waiting for him to decide in a word. He didn't know how long it would last, maybe a year, two years...... Or is it longer? The case is so hard to work out, it's just miserable!

Whenever this happens, Su Lingzhi and Princess Suxi will take the children far away, so as not to disturb him. The people in the mansion also tried not to come to this courtyard, everyone knew that he was the hope of the world, and every decision he made might be related to the well-being of the world, so he was not careless at all.

And the only one waiting here is naturally Yun Bing. Under the moonlight like water, the red sleeves of the woman who put away the long sword were extremely gentle. If it weren't for the people in this mansion, who would have thought that she would be the meteor that pierced the sky!

"Why are you so tired? When he commanded thousands of troops to attack the city and destroy the country, he never saw such a sigh ....... ”

Yun Bing had been observing him for a long time. Seeing Yuan Zhao's sad face, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She simply dropped a book he had recently forced to read. The probe glanced at it a few times, but he couldn't understand what the papers said.

"Bing'er, I'm just now discovering that fighting on the battlefield is the easiest thing to do. Dealing with court affairs...... It's not a human job! Alas...... What a headache! ”

Yuan Zhao hatefully threw everything in his hand aside, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He has said it many times, just let Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru and the others watch and deal with it themselves. Now that the overall situation has been decided, as long as there are no mistakes in the general direction, he really doesn't want to ask about some specific matters. However, Shang Shutai and the Imperial Historian's Mansion still sent a steady stream of selected important documents to wait for his decision.

"Your Majesty asks for this, don't shirk it!"

Everyone has said so, what else can he say? Who let himself still bear the name of a prime minister! He had already wanted to resign from this position several times, but he knew it very well. In the current situation, the emperor will never agree.

Yun Bing leaned behind him and reached out to gently rub his forehead for him. Yuan Zhao closed his eyes and felt the softness of his fingers. But he heard the woman whisper in her ear.

"Brother, I remember that in the past, he taught me how to lead troops. It is said that as a general, he who personally charges into battle and takes the lead is not a good general. Only by strategizing to win a thousand miles is the most brilliant commander. And now, why do these trivial things yourself? There are so many people in the court, let them all take their own responsibilities, and if anyone does not do well, they will be severely punished! Why bother here and waste our own good time? ”

"Bing'er, think I don't want to? But now most of the officials in the court are stuck to the old ways. Many of the new measures that have been put in place are a challenge for most of them. If

Let them do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve good results. If you punish you casually because of this, it will be even more difficult for a strong person. It's going to be a long battle, and it's going to take time to get used to...... Alas! I now regret that it was not the right time to lead this country to such a difficult thing in such a hurry? ”

Only in front of Yun Bing and the others can Yuan Zhao truly confide in the troubles and weaknesses in his heart. He is a man, not a god. Leading the direction of this country and the times is a long and unknown journey. There is no experience or precedent to follow. This kind of exhaustive mood is walking on thin ice, and no one can really share it for him.

Yun Bing rested his head in his arms, feeling the pulse of the most important man in his life. If it was on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, she could raise her sword and leap in front of him, even in the face of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, she would definitely not take a step back. But in such another battlefield, she felt powerless and could not help anything.

"Brother Zhao, in this world, nothing can be defeated! Absolutely. Otherwise, let Xiaoguang and Mingzhu help. Perhaps, young people know better how to do it. ”

Yuan Zhao's heart moved, he held Yun Bing's hand and smiled faintly.

"It reminded me...... Makes sense. The young eagles have grown up, and it is time for them to withstand the storm. Not only them, but also those reserve talents cultivated by Chang'an University should also contribute their own strength to this country. And now, it's the right time. ”

"Xiaoguang, they are in Chang'an these days. Why don't I go get them right now? ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's never too late to go back tomorrow. Ah! No matter, no matter...... And put all these messy trivial matters aside. Bing'er, accompany me out to see the night view of Chang'an! ”

Yun Bing nodded happily in agreement. Since she unloaded her armor and untied her sword and returned to Chang'an, she has not been out of the house for a long time. I heard that in order to welcome the holding of the centennial ceremony of the empire, inside and outside Chang'an City, the costumes were extremely gorgeous. She had long wanted to go out and have a look.

Yuan Zhao pushed all the paperwork away and left all the troubles behind. They didn't alarm others, they just quietly came out of the back door, like a pair of ordinary people, and quickly blended into the moonlight of Chang'an.

And in this same night, the streets of Chang'an are bustling. Everywhere is brightly lit and dotted with streets and alleys. If you look at it from a high place, it is like the bright stars in the sky descending to the mortal world, which is dizzying and breathtaking.

Huo Guang, who is just 18 years old this year, and his friend Sima Mingzhu, like many people who are amazed, are enjoying the prosperity of this prosperous era on the streets.

"Mingzhu, do you see it? Under the rule of the three generations of holy kings mentioned in those historical books, where can they be as close as half of what we are looking for? This is the real prosperity. We can be born in this era, but we must not live up to Master's expectations! ”

"Needless to say? From a very young age, I had an ambition in my heart...... Hey! Xiaoguang, what's going on over there? ”

Two young people who were happily talking suddenly noticed that the noise on the street not far in front of them was abnormal, and they couldn't help but be taken aback.
