Chapter 557: Respected by the Whole Country, Nothing Equals in the World
Fengtian Temple is particularly lively today, officials from all over the country who are qualified to ascend the temple are all here, young and old, all of them are full of martial arts, fortunately Fengtian Temple is big enough, otherwise it is really possible that it will not be able to accommodate so many people.
The New Year is a festive and lively picture, Hou Xuanyan's mood is also very good, and many old subordinates in front of him have not seen each other for a long time.
Officials from all over the country appeared in turn to talk about the local people's livelihood issues and expectations for the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it is to boast of his own merits, and then reach out to the court to ask for money.
Hou Xuanyan discussed with the officials of the six ministries, the three bachelors, and the various yamen, and decided whether to give it or not to give it on the spot.
After answering correctly, it was already noon, and Hou Xuanyan decided to treat him on the spot, and he was in the palace.
There are 300 officials in the main hall, and the throne is set up at the top, with yellow covers, card fans, and several founding princes, sitting on both sides of Hou Xuanyan.
Today's personality is strong on the outside and soft on the inside.,Very tolerant of his own people.,It's a little noisy underneath.。
Hou Xuanyan didn't care, holding a wine glass to chat with this and that, very happy.
Groups of palace maids who paid tribute from North Korea served the food like flowers and butterflies, and almost all the palace maids of the Han family in the palace near the New Year went home to visit relatives, leaving only these foreign women to serve.
Most of them come from poor Korean families, which are really unimaginable backwardness and poverty, and the magnificent city towers and palaces, garden pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, as well as exquisite and gorgeous water pavilion villas, for these Korean palace maids, it follows the heavenly fairyland.
Dahua's court attendants rarely use Chinese, and they are generally castrated boys in Nanyang and other places. Hou Xuanyan knew this, not only did not stop it, but also secretly made it clear a few times to show his reward.
Sometimes kindness is really a superfluous thing, and people in many places do not have the word of innocence at all, and even if there is a good kind in the wolf's den, it will be stained through the environment.
After several bloody and tearful images, Hou Xuanyan has begun to believe that some races are inherently evil and annoying.
The court musicians played music, singing and dancing, and the bright sunshine of Jinling entered through the doors and windows, a rich scene.
The reason for this scene is the drunken Hou Xuanyan, perhaps Hou Xuanyan, who has conquered the world from the army, is too arbitrary, but this is the rule that this era needs.
In the Age of Discovery, vain attempts at a republic were great coercion, especially in the land of Shenzhou, which had been blown by Confucian winds for thousands of years.
Throughout the 16th century, Tsarist Russia, Ottoman Turkey, and Kaiser Germany under the decaying system all turned into great powers after the emperor's dictatorship.
At this time, if Hou Xuanyan delegated power to the republic, there would be only one end, that is, he was overshadowed by a certain master of scheming, witnessed him ascend to the throne of God, and then killed his entire family and henchmen.
Only an absolute imperial power can carry out its own ideas, strengthen this powerful empire, and let it continue to move forward.
After the wine reached the half-tour, Ma Shiying stood up and shouted: "Our courtiers are fortunate, Your Majesty Weiji, how fortunate it is to bow to the prosperous age!" Why don't you raise a glass together, a glass of wine to our emperor, may your majesty live long, long live, long live! ”
Although this remark was suspicious of welcome, everyone, including a few iron-clad officials, willingly raised their glasses.
Gentlemen like Zhang Mingzhen and Gu Shouzheng also got up excitedly, and the followers and hundreds of officials toasted Hou Xuanyan together.
In any case, Dahua's national strength is here, if it is not so much in ordinary times, but the Han people have just experienced the despair of the late Ming Dynasty, and have seen the people's livelihood withering at that time, and the four seas are barren. In this way, today's prosperity is especially precious.
All the monarchs who put an end to the troubled times are heroes, because the troubled people are not as good as dogs, and they are the ones who pull the people back from dogs to people.
All monarchs who put an end to the era of poverty and weakness will without exception gain the enthusiastic support of the whole people, and there is such a person in later history who once made the whole country worship wildly.
Hou Xuanyan didn't do these things, nor did he instruct the elixir to do it, but he stood in this position and naturally became this role.
The so-called indeed, nothing is too much.
In the eyes of everyone, Hou Xuanyan stood up, the black imperial robe looked particularly energetic, the dragon head embroidered with gold was proud, and under the crown of the dragon was a young and heroic face.
Holding the wine glass and passing it forward, the heroes of the world bowed down and poured the wine, and all the talents bowed their heads for a while, this kind of pleasure is indescribable.
The wine has not been drunk, the person is already drunk, Hou Xuanyan drank it all, and said with a smile: "The first year of Tianjia has just passed, and there are no enemies around us. open up the desert and recover the old enemy Mongolia; Three wars in the South China Sea, Taiwan, Luzon, Manraka, Java... The foreign chieftains fled and exterminated the barbarians; Sent troops to the southwest to influence the Vietnamese people, Siam, and Burma. Martial arts have reached this point, but the next year is still the year of heavenly hunting, and it is still a year of continuous war. ”
Hundreds of officials exchanged heads and ears, and they really couldn't figure out what else was there to fight, and what else could be beaten.
There were only a few people, until His Majesty was already preparing for the expedition, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the Emperor.
Hou Xuanyan didn't want to hide it anymore, even if it was clear that they wanted to fight, they had no choice. The momentum of thunder swept away the enemies of the West, what can they do?
"The Western country, thousands of miles away, far away from the deep sea, is still coming, and I can't bear it. First, Spain slaughtered the Chinese and stole Luzon, and then the Rakshasa sent troops to the far north to slaughter the people of other ethnic groups. Whoever lives in the land of China is the people of China, and if he kills his people, he will be punished even if he is far away.
In the second year of Tianjiao, I went on an expedition to the Western Ocean, advancing by land and water, and going out together, killing them all with white bones and making mountains, and the blood flowed into a river. ”
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, it was a national policy.
The officials below woke up in shock, it turned out that the imperial court had such a big move next, and the expedition was a new beginning, after all, the Han Chinese-dominated Chinese Dynasty was not the Mongol Empire, and it did not have such a strong sense of conquest. His Majesty's ambition is so great that it will be difficult to succeed or not, and there is a question mark in everyone's hearts.
Dahua's sailors can fight, no one dares to deny it, but with the increasing prosperity of shipping, everyone already knows how far away the Western Ocean is, and to go there for an expedition, the distance alone is enough for the sailors to bear.
Wandering on the sea, it is inevitable that you will not be able to lead a large army to go, and if there are fewer people, it is equivalent to sending them to death. In short, there are countless hidden dangers of the Western Expedition, and the ministers in the palace are not professional, but there are many people who can understand.
Hou Xuanyan laughed twice in this regard, and secretly said in his heart: The mountain people have their own clever plans, discipline Madrid to obediently build the Dahua Governor's Palace, and treat this group of losers well.
