(The next chapter is 'Poor Dagger', guess, what is Lian Zining's purpose?) Wow-ha-ha, you may not be able to guess it. ）

The Jurchen envoys and the Khans of the Northeast were all at the front of the team, so they could also see the rolling mountains at a glance, and the countless pavilions and pavilions on the mountains could be vaguely seen, as well as the huge city walls around them that were thick and I don't know how many on both sides, even if they looked at it from this distance, Liyue was tall.

This made them also let out a series of exclamations.

"Is this the palace of the Great Emperor of the Celestial Empire? It's really the same place where the legendary gods live! Helian Leopard stroked his beard and sighed.

King Fu was accompanying him, and when he saw their expressions, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that he was really a group of barbarians who had never seen the world, where did this go, far away!

He smiled very gracefully and gently: "King Helian, don't just look at the palace on the mountain, you know, even the mountain in front of you is not a creation of heaven and earth, but built by my Ming Dynasty with manpower." ”

"What?"

Helian Leopard's eyes widened in disbelief, if there was still some flattering and contrived elements in their appearance just now, then this time it was really a shock from the heart.

The people around who heard it also let out a huge exclamation, and this sentence quickly spread among them at a very fast speed, and a whisper suddenly sounded between the Jurchen envoys and the Khan kings of the northeast, and everyone did not dare to say it loudly for fear of offending people. But they looked up at the huge rolling mountain, and then at the blessed king. The word 'unbelief' was clearly written in his eyes.

"Haha, this king knows that you must not believe it. If you tell the king in another person. The mountain in front of him was built by manpower, and this king must be the first to talk nonsense to him, but this is indeed the truth! ”

King Fu was not annoyed, he smiled faintly, but there was a self-contained pride in his smile: "This mountain is called Liyue, more than 20 miles around, divided into two mountains in the north and south, and the highest peak is 90 steps high. Lingfeng world, countless pavilions and pavilions, the world's beautiful scenery is in it. It was my Ming Dynasty that levied more than one million manpower and spent more than ten years to build it! ”

Hearing this, everyone let out another sigh of disbelief, for them, the concept of a million people is really too far away, after all, their respective tribes. The number is only a few thousand, and the number is only a hundred.

Millions, my God? In their impressions. Even the big gold country that has suppressed them for decades, the total population of the whole country may not reach one million!

So I have a little more understanding of the power and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in my heart. So there was a little more awe.

"This is all over the world, except for me. Just ask which country, which dynasty. Can such a huge project be built? This is the best in the world! ”

King Fu looked arrogant, he glanced at everyone, and saw that some of them were still unconvinced, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, seeing that he seemed to have lost face a little, Su Jimo hurriedly came out to remedy it, and said with a smile: "If you still have doubts in your hearts, you will go to Liyue later, and this doubt will naturally be gone." The beautiful scenery in my mountain is more than ten million, if it is the creation of heaven and earth, how can it be so wonderful? And it is artificially made, you can distinguish it clearly at a glance, and you are all eye-catching. ”

Helian Leopard and the others beat him for a while, and they didn't even dare to say it.

When you can get some in, you can see, the heavy bluestone built like a mountain as tall city wall, every few zhang away, there is a bright yellow huge Ming flag, each flagpole is enough to have the thickness of a thigh, more than three zhang long, the surface is polished to be extremely bright, brushed with red paint, the flag at the top is one zhang and one foot long, six feet wide, it is a bright yellow base, embroidered with a red vermilion bird pattern, and a huge vermilion 'Ming' word is written next to it. This kind of specification, can only be regarded as a small flag, about every ten such bright yellow flags, is a crimson flag, the flagpole is five zhang high, as thick as the waist of a strong man, the flag is two zhang long, one zhang wide and one foot, it is a red bottom, the front is written in black a huge 'Ming' word, and around the Ming character, it is embroidered with a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon, is circling and flying.

Countless flags fluttered in the wind, and under the banners, there were countless soldiers of the forbidden army standing majestically, wearing bright red cotton armor, tall and resolute, the bubble nails on the cotton armor and the reflection of the weapons in their hands were almost dazzling. Such soldiers of the forbidden army, one at a time, at a glance, there are more than 10 million!

There is no doubt that this is a sea of crimson! When the envoys of the Jin State and the Khans of the Northeast saw this scene, they all felt heavy in their hearts for some reason, as if they had pressed something, and their breathing was a little sluggish and difficult, and even their movements were a lot more restrained.

The majesty and domineering of the Ming Dynasty, with its huge pomp, countless manpower, and the huge majesty gathered by the suffocating terrifying strength behind it, was already hideous before it entered Liyue.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always been good at creating coercion in this way, giving people huge psychological pressure, in the history books, there is no shortage of monarchs of the wild and small countries to worship the emperor of the Celestial Empire, but above the court, by the solemn and majestic momentum of the intimidation, it is actually frightened trembling, sweating like pulp, two trembling, so that kneeling on the ground, only bowing, not even speech. Such cases are also common.

And that's just the beginning.

The depression of no one coming to the court for decades has made the Ming court fall into the embarrassing situation of wanting to show the majesty of the Celestial Empire without an audience, and the huge sense of glory of today's northeast ministers and the importance behind it are clearly seen by Emperor Zhengde and everyone.

When the group arrived at the gate of Donghua Gate, those honor guards or something stopped outside and forbade them to advance. Only King Fu and others accompanied a group of VIPs into the gate, as soon as they entered the gate. It is the bluestone avenue, and there are a large number of stone people, stone beasts, stone Weng Zhong and other things erected on both sides. It is surrounded by towering trees, among which you can faintly see the delicate eaves of the flying eaves.

There were also soldiers on both sides, and when they arrived here, everyone dismounted and walked.

If you go further, you have entered the category of Liyue, with undulating mountains on both sides, and all kinds of beautiful scenery emerge one after another.

King Fu knows all these things well, and everywhere he goes, he explains them in a few words. But it was so clear that the envoys of the Jin State and the Khans of the Northeast were amazed when they heard it. At this time, I also completely believe that this huge mountain is indeed artificially built, otherwise, how could there be so many beautiful scenery included in it.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived at the foot of Banzai Mountain.

At this time, the plum blossoms have long been gone, but it is the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The cherry blossoms are bright in color and flourishing. At this time, it is in full bloom, and as far as the eye can see, on the hillside, in the courtyard, in front of the steps, on the roadside, and even on the cliff. In the middle of the air, it is indispensable and that touch of sparkling. The flowers are gorgeous and full of trees. At a glance, it looks like a cloud. Spectacular.

It's a sea of cherry blossoms again.

The wonder of leaving the mountain is here. At the time of construction, it was a mixed planting of various flowers, except for those inherent landscapes such as Dingzhang and Meiling, which were only planted as a single tree species, and all other places were mixed planting. In this way, every time a kind of flower blooms, it is full of flowers, at a glance, boundless, effectively blocking other trees that have not bloomed, because there are too many of them, so it does not show any abrupt and difficult to see, but can ensure that the four seasons are flowers and stones.

Such a beautiful scenery made these barbarians who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were afraid of being disturbed.

And when you bypass the cherry blossom forest in front of you, this breathlessness turns into an incredible exclamation! Some people even screamed very rudely!

What appeared before them was a staircase of more than 500 steps! It is ten zhang wide, hundreds of meters long, and has more than 500 huge steps. It is carved and cast by white marble three feet long, one foot high, and two feet wide, and there are tall stone beasts, stone people, and stone Weng Zhong on both sides, all of which are about three feet high.

Long live the mountain peak of the mountain is as high as ninety steps. One step and five feet in the Ming season, one foot is equivalent to thirty-two centimeters and ninety steps in the later generations, which is equivalent to one hundred and forty-four meters in the later generations, and above this one hundred and forty meters, it is the Yanshan Great Dynasty Palace.

The entire West Peak of Long Live Mountain has become the foundation of this Yanshan Great Palace! The temple base is 100 meters high!

The front of the whole west peak of Long Live Mountain, has been built into the appearance of the temple base, is a three-layer huge boulder platform, a total of five layers, each layer has a height of nearly ten zhang, it seems, on each layer, carved railing jade masonry, but there is no building, but at the edge of the platform, built the verandah of vermilion lacquer red tile, the low hand-copying verandah, lining each layer of the platform as high as ten zhang, are so majestic and vast, and the big court hall above the five floors, it is even more pleasing to the world.

It seems that the wisps of green clouds are floating on the mountainside, just like the palace of the world.

At this moment, a thought popped up in everyone's minds - could this be built by man?

Their eyes stared blankly at the huge palace, which was so high that they had to lift their heads to see a glimpse of it above. And then in the next moment, the great surprise turned into great fear and respect, which is the instinctive human fear of the behemoth, the majestic representation of such words!

It is worthy of the Heavenly Empire! It is like a palace where such gods live!

King Fu stood aside and laughed and groaned, but did not speak, he knew how much shock it would bring to his soul when he saw this scene for the first time, so he also waited for them to digest it first.

And all the courtiers looked at them, with unconcealed self-confidence in their eyes, and secretly said to themselves, it is really a group of uninformed barbarians.

And soon, Azigehe Lianbao Tuha and the others also realized that they and the others were a little ugly, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and King Fu showed his excellent communication skills and affinity at this time, and said with a slight smile: "Haha, you don't have to be restrained, I think when Xiao Wang and the others stood here for the first time, they were even more unbearable than you!" Ha ha. The abode of these gods, falling to the mortal world. Naturally, it needs our awe and admiration. ”

These words skillfully dissolved the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, and everyone nodded again and again. In my heart, I also have a very good impression of King Fu.

At this moment, suddenly the drums thundered, the whining horn sounded, and then I saw that countless Han generals lined up in a neat queue from the top of the steps, and then came to the two sides of the steps that were full of stone people and Shi Weng Zhong stood down, and the top was more than 100 floors of stairs Standing on both sides of the stairs is the Jinyi Wei Han general holding a big flag, a golden gourd sledgehammer, and various honor guards, there are thousands of people, standing majestically. Don't squint. On both sides of the more than 400 steps below, there are all guards of the forbidden army, not as fancy as the Han generals, but there is no need to deliberate with an iron-blooded murderous aura, which is naturally like a sharp saber, which is creepy.

The atmosphere instantly became cold and harsh, which made the hearts of everyone who had just calmed down thump again.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least more than 20,000 elite soldiers here!

This is the royal weather.

Majestic, majestic, noble, majestic, and solemn!

Then I heard what seemed to come from above, and then. The voice was getting louder and louder, and at the end, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together: "The Holy Emperor has a decree, the envoys of the Xuanjin State and the Khans of the Northeast are here!" ”

The sound shook the heavens and the earth. People can't help but be shocked all over their bodies, and even some of them are slightly less courageous, and they are already pale with shock. The body involuntarily trembled slightly. Even characters like Helian Leopard and Azig also glanced at each other. They all saw a touch of horror and fear in each other's eyes.

Tuha is a Jurchen, but Jin Guo was beaten by Wu Yijun and had to surrender. Don't dare not surrender, although he took refuge in Lian Zining, he didn't dare to have any dissent, but deep down, he was still a little unconvinced, and said in his heart What about your Daming, if it weren't for Wu Yijun's birth, I would have entered the New Year and not be in the Northeast, you are helpless? It was only at this moment that I realized that with the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, if I really made up my mind and concentrated all my strength to attack the Jin country, the Jin country would really not be able to bear it!

King Fu smiled slightly: "Everyone, let's go up!" ”

Everyone took a deep breath and walked up step by step. They walked along the long steps, and the speed of their walk was invisibly slowed down by the remoteness of the road, and as far as the eye could see, the majestic palaces, the wide margins were almost faintly faint in the morning light, and the grand and magnificent buildings seemed to oppress them with an invisible majesty.

Even the leader of the tribe, who is unruly and powerful, is trembling in his heart at this moment, and there is an absolute surrender to the majesty of the royal family in his heart.

After a cup of tea, as soon as I looked up, the Yanshan Dynasty Hall was in front of me.

In front of everyone, it is a huge square with a radius of more than 500 zhang, the square is covered with huge white marble slabs, in the middle of the square, on the base of the three-layer white marble hall, is the majestic court hall that has been exchanged for hundreds of thousands of servants.

The face is nine wide, five deep, it is in line with the number of the ninety-five, the main hall is one hundred and twenty zhang wide from east to west, fifty zhang long from north to south, and the area is ten times that of Fengtian Palace! It is more than twenty times that of the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Lian Zining's era! The grand hall is as high as five floors, and His Royal Highness can tree a banner ten feet high!

Such huge and magnificent palaces have almost reached the pinnacle of human architectural history.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't even marvel, but only groaned weakly in their hearts.

What they saw and heard along the way deeply explained to them the strength of a Xuanhe dynasty, and their nerves were even numbed by shock.

Standing on the square and looking down, countless cherry blossoms are like a waterfall, almost occupying people's eyes in a *strong* * way, a spectacular, incomparably gorgeous sea of flowers.

And farther away, is the vast wild goose pond, at this time the ice and snow melt, the water waves are mighty, the south of the wild goose pond is the big slope, the southeast of the slope is dense with cypresses, moving in tens of thousands, the branches and leaves are Fusu, such as the dragon and snake covered by the building.

Around the square, there were also guards of the forbidden army standing with soldiers in their hands.

Several Han generals came with an official, who was in charge of the etiquette in the court, and he walked up to everyone and said with a straight face: "Tidy up your appearance, so as not to desecrate the holy majesty above the court." ”

Naturally, everyone was busy doing it, and after cleaning up, the group was under the guidance of the official. Walk forward step by step.

The closer you get to it, the more you feel its grandeur. Wait until you slowly ascend the steps to the front of the temple. Standing in front of the whole eighteen huge dragon stone pillars in front of the hall, each ten zhang high and more than three zhang in diameter, I felt that I was so small, it was really not worth mentioning.

The Yanshan Dynasty Hall is the highest point of the entire Liyue, and it is also the core, and it is also the meaning of its existence. It just makes the Yanshan Dynasty Hall more magnificent and majestic.

In the main hall, the four doors were open, and everyone's eyes could be focused on the barbarians who were slowly walking over.

There are a lot of people in the hall today.

Not only were all the officials who accompanied Liyue there, but also those officials who stayed in the capital, and the lords and relatives who were idle at home, were all recruited, and even the various officials and yamen in the entire capital, except for those who had to stay behind. It's all here. If he could, Zhengde would like to recruit all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, from the super duke to the nine pins, and let them see today's scene.

He stubbornly believes that this grand and glorious moment. Be sure to have as many witnesses as possible.

This is not pure hypocrisy, the foundation of the feudal dynasty is the vast local gentry and landlord class and countless officials, if they have confidence in the imperial court. The passage of imperial court decrees is naturally unhindered.

The space in the temple is huge. Dozens of giant pillars that are as thick as the coiling dragon pillars outside but gilded on the outside, looking very luxurious and very rich, stand here. The golden light flows, and it is extremely gorgeous. And when people stand underneath, they seem to be standing under the feet of the legendary ancient giant gods.

Although there were thousands of people in the temple at this moment, it also seemed very empty.

The envoys of the Jin State and the Khans of the Northeast came to the palace, and the eyes of the surrounding ministers were very complicated, some were condescending, some were disdainful, some were welcomed with a smile, and some were deeply grateful.

And Emperor Zhengde, who is on the dragon throne, is even more emotional.

How many years have we not seen such a beautiful scene when all nations are coming? The last time such a huge team came to the Hajj, I'm afraid it was still the nineteenth year of Zhengde, right?

It's been more than 30 years!

From the entrance of the palace to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, the left and right sides add up, a total of eight giant pillars, and the specifications of the Fengtian Hall in the capital are different, around the emperor's throne, there are no four giant pillars to surround and set off, but behind the throne, it is a diameter of more than three zhang, I am afraid that dozens of people can be surrounded by extraordinarily thick giant pillars. This pillar stands in the center of the main hall, standing up to the sky and the earth, making people dare not look up. It is wrapped with a heavy copper plate, and outside the copper plate, there is a large amount of gilding, nine human waist thick, dozens of zhang long, and a coiled dragon carved from gold, surrounding the pillar.

And His Majesty the Emperor's imperial platform is not a platform that was raised out of thin air.

In the golden pillar is about a zhang high from the ground, there is a dragon claw stretched out, the dragon claw is a foot square, and it is also vivid, the dragon scales and textures on it are clearly visible, just like the real one. On top of the dragon's claw, a huge golden throne was placed, and the space on it was not small, but even ten people were standing open.

This kind of casting technique can be said to be ingenious!

When the barbarians saw it, they were naturally amazed, and the shock in their hearts increased again, but they didn't dare to show it at all.

The environment in the hall was so quiet that it was suffocating.

The shock, surprise, and spiritual shock they have been constantly receiving along the way, and the awe and fear of the Ming Emperor that has arisen as a result have accumulated to a critical point, and at this time, they have erupted in this environment.

Many of them are already trembling, and it is difficult to even walk, only to feel that breathing is extremely difficult, and the large beads of sweat on their foreheads have oozed out, and even their vision and spirit have become blurred, falling into a state of chaos, they don't know what to do, they just feel that every move is wrong, just mechanically follow others forward, and they don't know what they are doing.

It's like Qin Wuyang who climbed the palace of King Qin for the first time.

The ceremonial officer led them to a position about three zhang away from the throne, and King Fu said in a loud voice: "Erchen Qiqi Father, Erchen and Dong Qichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Su Jimo, the secretary of Honglu Temple, welcome the envoys of the Jin State and the Khan Kings of the Northeast Provinces, a total of one hundred and six people, come to the pilgrimage to the Holy Emperor!" ”

The corners of Zhengde's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "The emperor is doing a very good job, and Dong Qichang, the two of you, are also very good!" Stand down! ”

Zhengde has always been harsh, and it would be really good to get a very good evaluation from him.

The three of them bowed and then retreated.

When they had withdrawn, the ceremonial officer sang in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, do three bows and nine bows!" ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down, but a few clan leaders who were so frightened that their legs couldn't hold them could not be supported before they could finish speaking, they fell to the ground with a thud, and couldn't help but cry out in pain. provoked the surrounding people to suddenly burst into snickering.

Emperor Zhengde didn't care, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's right, isn't it the one that can show that the majesty of the Celestial Empire has subdued the barbarians?

After kneeling, Emperor Zhengde said in a manic voice: "Who is kneeling down below? ”

Tuha and the others had already been taught etiquette, so they naturally knew how to answer at this time, and Tuha said in a loud voice: "The subordinate Jin Guo Rite Department Shangshu, Jue Luo Belle Tuha, come to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire!" ”

Zhengde took a deep breath, his face stiffened a little because of the nervousness in his heart, and he stared at him and said, "Envoy of the Jin Kingdom, why did you come?" ”

"The lower kingdom admires the education of the Celestial Empire, the civilization of the Central Plains, the prosperity of the dynasty, and yearns for it! The subordinates are ordered by the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom to submit their credentials to the Heavenly Empire, and are willing to pay tribute, make pilgrimages, and submit to them for the vassals of the Celestial Empire! Tuha took the tray from the hand of the entourage behind him, and in the tray was the national letter, which was covered with yellow satin, and Tuha held the tray high and said in a loud and respectful voice: "I wish to present the national letter, and beg for storage!" ”

It can be felt that when Tuha said this, the whole hall was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on this small tray, these eyes were eagerly and expectantly.

Zhengde waved his hand, and he felt that his hand was already trembling.

Ma Yongcheng didn't look like an old thing at this moment, he was very agile and jumped down from the throne, almost snatched the tray with a snatch, and then jumped up like a tanuki, knelt on the ground, and lifted the tray above his head.

Emperor Zhengde took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and then lifted the yellow silk, took the national letter, and read it carefully in his hand.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor who has been for more than 50 years, in his life, he has read the national letter, there are definitely not a few, the content of this national letter, and he has read it before, in fact, this thing is the same as the eight strands, it also has its fixed format and words. But the problem is that this letter of state was handed over by the monk Wanyan Chen, the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom!

On the book "Surrender! ”

At this moment, the forcibly suppressed excitement rushed out uncontrollably like a flood that had broken through the embankment!

How could he not be nervous, how could he not be excited?

The three surnamed Jurchens were first ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and then × from the Ming Dynasty to stand alone × × out, becoming a country of their own, dominating the north for 30 years! In the past 30 years, it has become the most painful wound on Daming's body, and it is an out-and-out confidant! In the past 30 years, in order to solve this great disaster, the Ming Dynasty spent tens of millions of dollars in treasury salaries, silver, grain and grass, more than 2 million soldiers and civilians killed in battle, and lost 3,000 miles of land in the northeast.

Now, the Jurchens have finally surrendered!

There was an indescribable touch in Zhengde's intuitive chest, and he suddenly stood up, holding the national letter in his hand, and shouted: "Ministers, subjects of the world, have you seen it? The Jurchen, who has been entrenched in the north for thirty years, has descended today! It's down! ”

"It's down!"

Zhengde's voice was like thunder, striking heavily on everyone's heart, and then in a moment of silence, the ministers in the palace knelt on the ground one after another, and said loudly: "Congratulations to my emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhengde looked at the kneeling ministers below, his eyes swept over Tuha and the others again, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of smugness in his heart, and laughed happily at the sky.

The ministers were flat, but at this time, there was a low sobbing, and then, the sobbing sound turned into an irrepressible howl. (To be continued.) )
