On the fifteenth day of the first month of the 18th year of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, the buildings of Jiankang Palace are lined up one after another, and the palace is majestic and splendid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hao Ren was dressed up and down with jewels, brushing his chest-length beard, and looked at the "Great Song Dynasty Territory Map" hanging on a whole wall with great satisfaction, and the agitated emotions in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

"The Territory Map of the Great Song Dynasty" is the blood of nearly one million soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, the 40 million square kilometers of land dyed red, and the blood of nearly one million people, which has achieved today's rich martial arts from all over the world.

Hao Ren was already in his forties, he was tired, and he didn't want to fight endlessly like this. It no longer makes sense for China to be unified, all countries will come to the dynasty, and then continue to fight.

He is the emperor, but he was also a person in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes emphasize not fighting when they fall to the ground, and the emperor naturally has the majesty of the emperor, and the land that has been surrendered and surrendered, and if he continues to fight, he will be unknown. Moreover, the place that needs to be requisitioned is too far away, and it will take more than a year to launch a war of 100,000 people, and it will take more than a year to send troops from Jiankang, and military expenses will cost half a year's income from the state treasury, which can already affect the normal life of the people.

Hao Ren's eyes kept scanning the map, and he muttered: "This is the Annan Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Fusang Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Andong Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the 36 departments on the south coast of the Beihai (Arctic Ocean) of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Nuer Gandu Division of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Vorosi Governor's Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and this is the Damascus Xuanwei Division of the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Huh!" Hao Ren couldn't help but smile on his face, and said to himself: "These are the inherent territory of China, and they must never be changed!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Chen Da, the head of the guard, reported: "The banquet is ready, please Your Majesty deign to receive the hundred officials to congratulate!" ”

Surrounded by a mighty warrior, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty walked out of the main hall and sat on the prepared step, Hao Ren did not forget to ask: "Are all the people who came this year?" ”

Chen Dadao, the head of the guard: "Back to Your Majesty, this year is the New Year of my five pilgrimages, who doesn't know whether to live or die and dare not come to congratulate?" It's all here! ”

Hao Ren and the chief guard of the guard briefly asked a few questions, and they had already arrived at the Chaoyang Hall of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the Chaoyang Palace, the crowd of people who were already crowded with anticipation was already densely packed, and Chen Da sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" "The land is full of civil and military prostrate on the ground, and the mountains are shouting long live.

Hao Ren walked straight to the golden dragon chair and looked at the backs of the townspeople, so frightened that the townspeople didn't even dare to come out.

This side is high up, admired by thousands of people, and all countries are coming to court, Hao Ren has even a chest beard for this day.

Hao Ren sat down steadily, smiling with a lovely smile, before raising his hand and ordering: "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy, please come to the table!" ”

All the towns hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Hongen", and they were listed on the seats one after another.

"Is Komatsu here this year?" Hao Ren said casually.

A Zhenfu wearing a kimono and a sword at his waist trotted out from the end of the seat and prostrated on the ground: "You are the noble emperor of the Fusang people, and the father of the ministers. ”

"Komatsu's loyalty can be seen, I will allow you to settle in Jiankang City this year, and you don't need to go back to Fusang!" Hao Ren said.

"Father Longen!" Komatsu kowtowed in gratitude.

For Hao Ren, Fusang has been leveling for several years, and it no longer has any meaning for the spiritual leader of the Fusang people.

"Let's go, let's take a seat!" Hao Ren waved away Xiao Song and said, "Is Timur here?" ”

A lame calmer squeezed out of the crowd and prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty is favored, accepting the leadership of the Damascus Xuanfu Division, the minister does not dare to be absent from the court, and I wish the steppe people the sweat of the middle sweat and the sun is shining." ”

"Do you think my musket is powerful, or is your Damascus scimitar powerful?" Hao Ren asked rhetorically.

"The minister is a remote local official, and the scimitar is also the scimitar of the Great Song Dynasty, how dare you compare it with the sharp weapons of the Celestial Empire!" The cripple sweated back.

"Aiqing's Chinese level, compared with the last Hajj, is it much more fluent, let's take a seat!" Hao Ren waved away the cripple, symbolically named him, confirmed that he was indeed not absent, and said, "Let's start the table!" ”

Chen Da, the head of the guard, said loudly: "Open the seat", the passionate and cheerful music suddenly left, and the Great Song Dynasty Chinese music "Four Seas Shengping Song" was played, in the cheerful music, the townspeople from all over the country took turns to offer congratulatory gifts and toasts to Hao Renjin, and Chen Da, the head of the guard, seemed a little too busy.

"The four founding elders of the Great Song Dynasty toast to Your Majesty!" Chen Da sang loudly.

The four old men of the old dragon clock, Yang Zhengtai, Shi Nai'an, Yu Que, and Yu Yanyu, were about to kowtow to Hao Ren with a wine bowl, how could Hao Ren accept this? Hurry up and let everyone be exempt.

"Mr. Lujiang Hou Shi Nai'an, I read part of your book, and it is well written, I don't know if I will finish it now?" Hao Ren said to Shi Nai'an.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister's book has been written, and I bother Your Majesty to take the time to make a preface to the old minister, and the old minister is grateful!" Shi Nai'an is old and long.

"That's easy to say! However, I don't think the name "The Legend of Jianghu Hawkers" is very good, how about calling it "Water Margin"? Hao Ren said.

"Given the name by His Majesty, "Water Margin" will surely go down in history!" Shi Nai'an said.

"Mr. Yu, are you still used to life in the Mobei grassland?" Hao Ren said to Yu Yanyu again.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's care, let Lao Chen be the prince of Mobei County, help the Great Song Dynasty to dominate the seventy-two grasslands south of Beihai, Lao Chen was able to return to his hometown of the grassland, and my son Tongyuan followed Lao Chen to govern the people of the North, Lao Chen took an eagle to drive horses out to hunt all day long, and his mood was extremely comfortable, I think Lao Chen can at least guard the border for His Majesty for ten years!" Yu Yanyu said tremblingly.

"The prince of Mobei County has worked hard with me to conquer the world, and there is the heroic Yu Tonghai in the family for the Great Song Dynasty, the old gentleman is old, and he doesn't have to come to the court every year in the future, just let the Marquis of Yu Tongyuan come for three or five years!" Hao Ren said with concern.

"The Yu family should guard the Mobei grassland for His Majesty for generations, and be a loyal fence of the Great Song Dynasty!" Yu Yanyu was grateful.

Hao Ren said again, "Cai Guogong Yang Zhengtai, you are my father-in-law, when I was deeply trapped in Anqing City, it was you who sheltered me, and married your noble and virtuous daughter to me, too many words of thanks, your grandson will become my successor!" ”

Yang Zhengtai was already a little confused at this time, his expression was wooden, as if he understood or not, and only said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Hongen!" ”

"Sang Guogong Yuque, it was you who worked tirelessly to help me pacify the land of Fusang with the high position of the cabinet, and you contributed a lot to the Great Song Dynasty. According to the relationship between in-laws, you are also my elder, it is hard to go to sea, the land of Fusang has been pacified, you don't need to continue to sit in Fusang, the officials of Fusang are appointed by the imperial court with reference to the Taishou standards in the mainland, and they are appointed by the Ministry of Officials, you should come back to be the cabinet! Hao Ren said.

Yu Que has been exiled to Fusang for too long, and finally returned to Middle-earth with his exploits in Fusang. After all, he is the strongest of the four elders, and he can still deal with the high cabinet position that he enjoys for a few more years.
