Chapter 266: Military Parade!
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" Zhao Chengxu raised his hand and still stood in front of the dragon chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials shouted, slowly got up, and straightened their official robes.
"In a few months, the new year is about to usher in, the new year is exactly the twentieth year of Tianqin, I have decided to hold the twentieth anniversary ceremony of the founding of the country, the big military parade, do you have any objections?" Zhao Cheng looked solemn and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
"Ministers are no different!" The civil and military officials hurriedly replied.
Your hand is on the hilt of your sword, who would dare to oppose it.
Zhao Cheng saw that the hundred officials had no opinions, so he continued to speak: "Okay, it turns out that the hundred officials are no different, Xiao Li, declare the decree!" ”
When Li Zongming heard this, he nodded slightly, took a step forward, and unfolded the holy decree, and when the hundred officials saw this, they quickly knelt on the ground.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the Great Qin has been established for 20 years, the territory of the Great Qin is large, the people are rich, the elite of the Great Qin army, the ability of the civil and military officials, especially on January 1, the 20th year of the Great Qin, the anniversary ceremony was held on the outskirts of Xianyang City, mobilizing 300,000 elite soldiers and all kinds of weapons for a big military parade, and the hundred officials must be present, admire!"
"The ministers obey Your Majesty's will, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials shouted again.
"Fang Xin, pass on my message, at the anniversary ceremony, the people can watch from the sidelines, and in addition to the site planning, the Ministry of Industry will use dim sum!" Zhao Cheng continued.
"Obey the order!" Fang Xin and Shangshu Zuo Yiming of the Ministry of Industry replied.
After retiring from the dynasty, hundreds of officials walked together, each smiling, thinking about raising their spirits and participating in the anniversary ceremony and military parade.
Fang Xin's efficiency was very fast, and not long after the next dynasty, notices were posted all over Xianyang, and people were sent to notify the local governments.
"Lao Li, have you seen it? Your Majesty is going to hold an anniversary ceremony and a military parade, we can all watch from the sidelines, my God, I didn't expect that the old man would be able to witness this moment before he was alive! ”
"Nonsense, of course I know, the time is just January 1st, and my children will all be back by then!"
"Tell me, our generation is really blessed, this anniversary ceremony and military parade ceremony do not seem to have been held since ancient times, this time it is a precedent, we are a witness to history, it is really an honor."
"What are you still doing in a daze, I'm going to occupy a front-row position, it's too late to go, and I can't see it."
"That makes sense, I'll send my son to occupy a place right away, and sleep on a mattress!"
"You old traitors, such a yin, no, I have to take a position!"
"You're out of business?"
"It's important to watch the ceremony, this is the first time in history!"
When the people learned that the anniversary ceremony and military parade were going to be held, they gathered in the restaurant and the pavilion to discuss happily, and at the same time sent people from their own families to take a place at the mat.
Time passed slowly, the news spread from Xianyang to all over the country, and the people everywhere learned about it, and hurriedly packed up their things and rushed to Xianyang, the entire Great Qin Empire on the main road, the carriages that could be seen everywhere, and even some people rode horses to Xianyang overnight in order to occupy a good position.
This kind of scene, like the Great Migration, was spectacular, and even the government sent guards to maintain order on the road and prevent horse-drawn carriages from blocking the road.
Two months later, in the 19th year of Tianqin, on November 6, Pandora Star, the imperial capital of the Seth Empire, and the imperial palace!
Ulala had returned, and as soon as he returned, the Seth Emperor Karum summoned hundreds of officials into the palace to discuss the matter.
"Ulala, what did the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire say?" Calum asked impatiently.
Ever since Ulala sent an envoy to the Great Qin Empire, he was very worried, worried that Ulala, like Prime Minister Wu Ling, had pounced.
"Your Majesty, there are four conditions for the Great Qin Empire, first, the territory captured by the Great Qin Empire will not be returned, second, the captives captured by the Great Qin Empire will not be returned, third, the Seth Empire will become a vassal state of the Great Qin Empire, remove the emperor title, change to king, and not be called emperor, fourth, pay tribute to two million young and strong men every year, and there is no need to pay tribute to other items!" Ulala forwarded all of Zhao's conditions to Karum.
Hearing these words, the faces of Karum and the civil and military officials turned blue and white, exactly the same as the look of Ulala when he first heard these conditions.
"The abominable Great Qin Empire, is this slaughtering us like pigs?" One of the ministers looked angry and scolded angrily.
When the rest of the ministers heard this, they also showed their approval, it was too much, it was too much!
The first three can be agreed, but the latter one must not be agreed, because it has seriously threatened the survival of the Seth Empire, just imagine, two million young people a year, what a heavy loss to the country, and catching the young and strong will inevitably aggravate the domestic contradictions, when the rebels are everywhere, can the Seth Empire continue to survive?
Karum sat on the high seat, silent, his face blue and white.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has agreed to four conditions on behalf of the Seth Empire!" Ulala replied stiffly.
"What!"
This sentence undoubtedly threw a bomb in the middle of the main hall and shocked everyone.
"Ulala, you are presumptuous, you dare to agree to this condition for Your Majesty, you are simply damned!"
"Humiliation of the country and loss of power, humiliation of the country and loss of power!"
The ministers immediately scolded Ulala with righteous indignation.
At this time, Prime Minister Wu Ling stood up, put his palm in his heart, bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”
"Say!" Karum squinted his eyes and stared at Uling, and the rest of the ministers also fell silent instantly, all wanting to see what Uling had to say.
"Ulala is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise His Majesty would not have sent him to negotiate, presumably these four conditions are the bottom line of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Ulala has no choice but to agree!"
"Your Majesty, you must know that the 700,000 troops of the Great Qin Empire are in our territory and have not yet withdrawn, once we refuse the conditions, the 700,000 Great Qin troops will completely crush the Seth Empire like a mudslide!"
"We don't have any conditions to negotiate with the Great Qin Empire, we can only let it be slaughtered, and we pay tribute to two million young people a year, it is definitely not difficult for Weichen, the Great Qin Empire does not stipulate that we want the young and strong of the Saith Empire, we can send troops to attack other countries, rob other countries of young people, and pay tribute to the Great Qin Empire!" Wu Ling said in a series of words, explaining the situation of the Seth Empire very clearly, if you don't agree, you will destroy the country, and if you agree, you can still stand in the world.
After hearing this, the civil and military officials and Karum fell into silence and thought carefully.
At this time, Ulala also took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire also said that if you become a vassal state of the Great Qin Empire, you can buy weapons from the hands of Great Qin, and five young adults will have an advanced rifle or ten rounds of ammunition!" ”
