Yao Qisheng nodded, His Majesty's words were exactly what he wanted, without a few strong opponents, he didn't know what level the sailors under his hands were.

This place is not very far from Manraka, and the geographical location of mainland India is similar to that of Taiwan to the interior, and it is a large island at the foot of the land.

Hou Xuanyan, who was still worried about the army's westward expedition, suddenly found a shortcut, and the joy in his heart was all reflected on his face.

Yao Qisheng was greatly encouraged, he didn't expect His Majesty to support him so much, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must take the Lion Kingdom beautifully, and then dig the canal.

Hou Xuanyan personally sent him out of Xinuan Pavilion, and took off his sword and gave it to Yao Qisheng, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I am in Jinling, waiting for your good news, welcoming your triumph, and waiting for you to be crowned with an official and a knight." ”

Yao Qisheng knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty's earnest heart makes it difficult for the minister to forget, if you can't do all your work here, Weichen will die under this sword." ”

Sending Yao Qisheng away, the elixir looked at the back that had disappeared, and frowned: "Your Majesty, the sea is like a kingdom, and the fight is too far, can we still control it?" ”

Hou Xuanyan scratched her nose, reached out through her clothes to accurately hold a delicate pepper 1 milk, and said with a smile while holding it: "You thought this hundreds of years ago, in the next few years, let alone the lion country, even if it hits the sky, it will not be able to get out of my palm." ”

After saying that, I turned around, and the painful elixir was almost lost, this damn shaking M...

Manraka was the farthest place from Jinling in the Chinese Dynasty, and the governor was the first to leave Jinling, and the feudal officials from all over the country also left Beijing.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, there were only a few nearby provinces left, and they still stayed here and refused to leave.

Shangyuan Festival is also called the small first month, the first day of the first month or the festival of lights, the first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, the ancients called the "night" as the "night", the fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night of the year, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the "Lantern Festival". According to the Taoist "Sanyuan", the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also known as the "Shangyuan Festival". Since ancient times, the customs of the Lantern Festival have been dominated by the warm and festive lantern viewing customs.

In fact, the original intention of the festival was to have fun with the people, and it was the emperor's festival first.

This is said to be in the early Han Dynasty, when the Lu family was autocratic, and after Liu Bang's death, Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, ascended the throne as Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Hui was cowardly and indecisive by nature, and the power gradually fell into the hands of Empress Lu. After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty fell ill and died, Empress Lü monopolized the government and turned the Liu family into the Lu family, and when Empress Lu died, the Zhulu Rebellion occurred.

The heroes of the court, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others designed to pacify the Zhulu Rebellion and support the succession of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

As we all know, when the emperor is the most like to be with the people... Ahh

In recent years, the Haiyan River has been clear, and the annual Shangyuan Festival has also become particularly lively, especially the lights and fireworks in the flower market.

This year, Hou Xuanyan specially ordered the arsenal to make a batch of fireworks to celebrate in Jinling.

Before it got dark, I saw that there were no palace people in the palace who had not returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, put on new clothes that they were reluctant to wear on weekdays, and rubbed their hands to watch the fireworks in the capital.

In the Forbidden City, warm as spring, Hou Xuanyan took the concubines of the harem to wait at the highest place in the Forbidden City to enjoy the fireworks.

On each of his laps sat a little princess, Chen Yuanyuan's Hou Wanyan, who was somewhat similar to her mother's eyebrows and eyes, but her lips were more like Hou Xuanyan. Such a small thing can't be cute at all, Yinchuan's genes are too strong.

Hou Xuanyan couldn't put it down, hugged the two princesses, and kept picking up vegetables.

The Bian Saisai sisters on the side were very greedy, especially seeing the daughter of their old rival so favored, Bian Saisai couldn't wait to conceive one soon. It's a pity that His Majesty likes to play with her after 1 court flower, so she is more pampered, and she still has a mediocre lower abdomen.

Huang Ying'er looked at her husband suspiciously, and since she saw him, she has never closed her grinning mouth.

Finally, Huang Ying'er, who couldn't help it, dragged the elixir and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"Hehe, since I summoned Yao Qisheng in the morning and knew that I could dig a canal, Your Majesty is like this. It seems that our Governor Yao is scratching the itch of His Majesty. ”

Huang Ying'er couldn't understand, in fact, even the elixir didn't understand the thoughts of his own emperor, since ancient times, the emperor only cared about the rich territory of the Central Plains, and the land of Yidi in the wilderness of the borderlands, and the benefits were not much.

But His Majesty's obsession with the land seems to be very deep, and he doesn't know why he always wants to expand his territory externally, to the point of obsession.

If Hou Xuanyan knew what she was thinking now, he would have to give her an economic lesson, because the territory of this era is not only a simple territory, but also a dumping market for goods and a supply place for raw materials. Great social changes require unimaginable primitive accumulation, and wealth is the driving force.

Hou Xuanyan broke a piece of dim sum, which melted in his mouth, and the younger daughter couldn't chew it, so he gave it to the eldest daughter to eat.

Hou Wanshu looked at the sudden sound of fireworks outside, her interest was not very high, and she didn't eat the snacks.

Hou Xuanyan was aware, such a small thing, could it be that he had a sweetheart? As an old father, he has zero tolerance for this kind of thing, and asked out loud: "Little peach, why don't you eat it?" ”

Hou Wanshu buried his face in his arms, and said in a milky voice: "Father, I miss Brother King Jing, it would be good if he was here, he likes fireworks the most." ”

Hou Xuanyan gasped, and raised his goddaughter as a brat, if she bent her own daughter....

The picture was so beautiful that Hou Xuanyan wanted to kill someone.

This strange thought flashed away, and Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "As long as you are obedient, my father will take you to her in a few days." After Hou Xuanyan finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the concubines of the group of female porridge: "Speaking of which, I also miss Hao'er and Siqi a little. ”

Speaking of Li Siqi, it touched Hou Xuanyan with a scar, this unconscious little Niziye was terrifying, and she ran to the West alone.

This is separated by 108,000 miles, even if he and Li Haoxian's brothers have great ability and authority, they can't protect her if something happens.

Huang Ying'er, who knew the reason, pouted her mouth, and turned her lower lip out, which was very playful and cute.

She poured a glass of sake, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine toasts you with a glass of wine." ”

At this time, the fireworks took off, and the entire Jinling was as bright as day, Hou Xuanyan took advantage of the fireworks in the sky, looking at the cherry blossoms that were more delicate than flowers, and suddenly remembered a "holding the moon in his arms" on the Shangyuan Festival that year.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts, and for a while, their eyes were tired as if they were about to flow water.

PS: "Holding the Moon in Your Arms" is a hidden chapter, which can be watched in the group
