Chapter 541: Britain Surrenders!
At this time, a maid had already filled a table with the wine and food that had been prepared, and Ren Chao and his four wives sat down around the table.
"Come to this first glass of wine, let's salute the soldiers who fought bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, wish my Chinese heavenly soldiers invincible, and at the same time wish my Chinese empire eternal prosperity!" Ren Chao held his wine glass and said with a stern face.
"I wish the Chinese Heavenly Soldiers invincible, and the empire will always be prosperous!" The four women responded in unison.
The five of them raised their heads together and drank all the wine in the cup, and then the queen Zhang Xixue smiled and turned her head to Ren Chao and said, "Today, Your Majesty is here to accompany our sisters to enjoy the plum, and the concubine has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”
"What's the matter? Just say it, listen to it. Ren Chao put down his wine glass and said with a smile.
"The concubine has the courage to ask Your Majesty, put aside your military affairs for the time being, and accompany us for a while, that's all, and I hope Your Majesty will be favorable." Zhang Xixue said softly.
"Haha~! I was originally here to play with you today, and since this is the case, from now on, we will only talk about Fengyue, not about state affairs. Ren Chao said with a smile on his face.
"Then it's decided!" Zhang Xixue cheered happily.
"Since it's drinking, how about we enforce the drinking order?" Liu Yiyi said suddenly.
"Okay! Okay! Then let the queen come up with the question! Lee Yeon-hee said with a smile.
"Today we are here to enjoy the plum, then take the ancient poem of Yongmei as the title, whoever can't say it will be punished with a glass of wine, how about it." Zhang Xixue said with a smile.
"Okay~! You're changing your ways, and you're going to see how ugly you are! You think I'm afraid you'll not succeed, so let the horses come! Ren Chao said fearlessly.
"Since Your Majesty has agreed, let's start with Your Majesty!" Zhang Xixue nodded with a smile and said.
"I'll start with that! There are so many poems in this Yongmei, isn't it still easy to get by? Ren Chao said unashamedly, "The blade of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." ”
"It's my turn, the plum and the snow are white, but the snow is lost to the plum." Zhang Xixue also said an ancient poem. Next is Ling'er. Lee Yeon-hee, Yoo Yi-yi, and so on.
Zhang Xixue and Li Yanxi were born in famous families, they have been reading poetry and books since they were children, and it is natural to memorize a few ancient poems. Reciting a few lines of ancient poetry is naturally nothing to him. As for Ling'er, she was from a humble background. I haven't read anything since I was a child, but since I entered the palace, I have seen several sisters with amazing talents, Ling'er is ashamed of herself, but Ling'er is also a character who does not admit defeat, and has been reading poetry and books hard all these years, learning all kinds of talents, and now it is no longer what it used to be.
After two rounds of reciprocation, it was Ren Chao's turn again. Ren Chao glanced at the four of them, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, because all the poems he knew about plum blossoms had already been said, and even if they didn't know, they had said a lot. Now Ren Chao can't remember the poems about plum blossoms anymore, his eyes rolled, and he smiled, "The garden can't be closed in spring." A red apricot came out of the wall. ”
"Wrong! Wrong! We said that it was Yongmei's poem, and what you said was obviously a red apricot! This hasn't drunk yet, but is it possible that His Majesty is drunk? Zhang Xixue said with a smile.
Ren Chao shook his head and said with a smile. "That's right! That's right! I'm not drunk, I'm talking about you! I can't close the ,...... with spring."
Zhang Xixue saw Ren Chao's dirty face, and her eyes kept rolling on her chest, so she reacted, and quickly interrupted Ren Chao's words and said, "Go~ Go!" Hurry up and drink your bar! How old are they, and they are still so old and improper. ”
"How old! In his forties, he is in the prime of life! Ren Chao took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but a few of us are already old!" Liu Yiyi couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Where are you old, why don't I see that in my eyes you are as beautiful and moving as you were twenty years ago, and sometimes I wonder, where have you gone all this time? It didn't leave a trace on your face. Ren Chao shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty will use clever words to make us happy." The fourth girl said with a smile.
"When have I coaxed you, I am telling the truth." Ren Chao said with a smile.
A few people were talking and laughing, and Ye Feng, Ren Chao's guard adjutant, suddenly hurriedly walked over, "Weichen see His Majesty, see the four Niangniang." ”
"Alright, no need to be polite! What are you doing here, didn't I say it? Isn't there anything important not to bother about? Ren Chao's face turned pale and said with some displeasure.
"Qi Xià, Weichen has a very urgent matter to report to His Majesty." Ye Feng hurriedly said.
"Looking at your excited expression, it must be a good thing, since it's a good thing, then you can say it!" Ren Chao smiled slightly and nodded and said.
"Wechen obeys! His Majesty has just received an urgent telegram from the Western Expeditionary Army, and not long ago, the British government issued a telegram to unconditionally surrender to our Chinese Empire and the Allied Powers! Ye Feng said excitedly.
"Really?" Ren Chao stood up in disbelief, looked at Ye Feng and asked loudly.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it's true. At half past eight o'clock local time, that is, at half past four in the afternoon Beijing time, the Tongguò radio station issued a surrender announcement, and as soon as the Western Expeditionary Army Command received the news, it immediately reported it to the Supreme Command. Ye Feng said excitedly.
"Great!" Ren Chao shouted excitedly, the British Empire, the former world hegemon, once known as the empire on which the sun never sets, now surrendered unconditionally to the Chinese Empire, how can such news not make Ren Chao excited, although he knows that it will be a matter of time before he defeats Britain, but when this moment really comes, Ren Chao still can't suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart.
On January 14, 1918, the British royal family and the British government, who fled from London to Birmingham, were forced to announce their unconditional surrender when more than 2 million Chinese soldiers were approaching the city.
Ren Chao drank three glasses of wine in a row to calm himself down, handed a glass of wine to Ye Feng, and said with a smile, "Come~!" Come and have a drink, too! Ha ha~! ”
"Thank you for the reward!" Ye Feng was not polite, took the wine glass and drank it all, and after drinking the wine, Ye Feng asked with a stern face, "Your Majesty, now that the British have suddenly surrendered, will an emergency imperial meeting be held to discuss the next military deployment?"
