Chapter 596: Spring Festival, Cow Ghost Snake God

The splendid palace is full of golden lights, and the entire Yingtai is bathed in brilliant crystal lights.

Gorgeous and bright, dazzling people's eyes, the finest East China Sea crystal, with exquisite skills, can be called a master of the carving master, combined with this dazzling masterpiece.

The crystal lamps added a bit of magnificence to Yingtai, and also made the Donghai crystal famous all over the world in a short period of time.

"On the occasion of this Spring Festival, it is a great joy for the country that China and Russia have built a good war and a draw; I am the Great Qin of China, the first war east of the Xing'an Mountains, the north of the Beihai round map, the west of the Russian troops outside the Kulongkui Mountain, is also a great joy. Double happiness is coming, goodbye festival, three happiness congratulations, and celebrate with the country. ”

"Gentlemen, please drink this cup to the full!"

"I wish me good luck in China, prosperity and vigor, the sun and the moon shine, and the golden ou is eternal!"

At the dinner party of the Chinese New Year, Liu Xian raised his glass and saluted from afar, and the ministers of the palace, foreign monarchs and subject envoys such as Kalakaua I all stood up and raised their glasses and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xian was in a very happy mood tonight. The Russians are deflated, but China can really get a few years of peaceful and steady development.

When the Second Five-Year Plan is over, China's steel output will be increased to at least 6 million tons, the Lanzhou-Singapore Railway will be connected, the Northeast Railway, the Beijing-Kukou Railway will be connected, and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway will be connected.

That night, Liu Xian was drunk and sent back to the dormitory. didn't take a bath, and fell on the bed with the queen in his arms with the smell of alcohol, but Zhang Miaotong was 'smoked'.

Wake up the next day. Zhang Miaotong had already gotten up. Seeing that Liu Xian woke up, he urged him to take a bath. Liu Xian stretched out his hand and fished it, and the soft flesh fell into his arms. His eyes didn't look at the disgusted look on the face of the queen who was injured by the 'poisonous gas' for the second time, and looked at the top of the gauze tent in a daze. Resemblance can be seen through guò to see the blue sky.

"Your Majesty, go take a bath. Smoke people to death! ”

has been an old husband and wife for more than ten years, and Zhang Miaotong has no fear and taboo in front of Liu Xian. And being able to let the queen treat the emperor so casually in a feudal dynasty where imperial power is still supreme shows how well Liu Xian has done to the harem.

"The Russians were discouraged, and the celebration ended. I breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Xian felt that his body was lazy now, and he wanted to lie on the bed like this, lying down. Relax. Relax your hands and feet......

But is it possible? Zhang Miaotong raised her head violently, and her chin slammed into Liu Xian's chest. Of course, it's her 'ruthlessness', and it doesn't hurt at all. How much strength can a woman have?

"Hurry up. After a while, the juniors will come to kowtow. And sisters. It's all coming. You get up for me! ”

Liu Xian drooped his eyelids weakly, he was not very old before the crossing, and he was very uninterested in the contact with relatives during the New Year. At that time, there was no shortage of four-wheeled and two-wheeled ones, and no matter how far away relatives were trains, planes were not impossible to see, and there was no meaning of 'thinking of relatives every festival'. On the contrary, I feel that it is time-consuming, and the annual leave is only a few days, and it will take half of it to leave a relative.

What happens after the crossing? Liu Xian is also not interested in the Chinese New Year. He started out with a low status. didn't say that a month before the New Year, he had to rack his brains to prepare gifts for his superiors, and when it came to his high status. Then there are many higher status above his head. Not to mention the bosses in Beijing City.

If you hand these over to your subordinates to prepare, Liu Xian will also be worried.

After he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and raised troops, it was the turn of others to give him gifts, and he didn't have to give gifts to others. This year's taste is too comfortable.

But this comfortable New Year's flavor also takes time. Moreover, the previous feelings have not been completely erased, and this year happened to catch up with Liu Xian's heart-wrenching stall, if Liu Xian is motivated for the next scene, it will be called hell!

Endured the headache after the hangover and got up, as soon as Liu Xian finished combing, a group of children rushed over. A few young ones were carried by the nurse at the back of the line.

Pressing his eyebrows, Liu Xian looked at the group of children in the hall, and a smile not only appeared on his face. There are a total of fourteen sons and daughters, the eldest Liu Mengyao, the baby daughter, is thirteen years old, and the eldest son Liu Sheng is also ten years old!

"The child prostrates to his father and the queen mother."

Liu Mengyao and Liu Sheng were the big heads, with the princess behind one and the prince behind the other, and they consciously lined up in two columns according to their age when they entered the main hall.

"Get up!" Liu Xian called out to his children, waved his hand, and more than a dozen palace maids on the side came to a princess and prince with a plate. Inside is the New Year's gift for them, that is, the New Year's money.

It's a scene that happens every year.

Liu Xian is more 'harsh' to the prince on weekdays, but he is very generous to the princess. But no matter how generous it was in the past, it was also pediatric compared to the New Year's money. This plate not only contains pearls and gemstones, auspicious gold and silver bills, but also a gift list. That's the point. There are a lot of rare treasures on it, and Liu Xian, who has captured most of the wealth of the Manchu royal family, has never lacked these in his hands, even if some of them are taken out and sold, the rest are piled up in the warehouse.

For the princesses, there is at least one beautiful manor or a farm covering tens of thousands of acres every year. This luxury and generosity are enough to make those princesses of the same period in Europe envious to death.

And the princes' New Year's money is relatively pitiful. Poor sons and rich daughters, Liu Xian agrees with this sentence.

Before the children left, a group of women gathered together. A family feast at noon is indispensable. In the afternoon, Liu Xian was really relaxed. But it's not over yet, tomorrow, the courtiers and the envoys of the subject country will enter the palace again.

Liu Xian has been exempted from imperial tribute in various places, but during the Chinese New Year, there is no way for the courtiers to give gifts. In China's thousands of years of gift-giving tradition, courtiers call the emperor 'Jun Father', how can gifts not be given to 'Daddy'? This point should be exempted, and what is exempted is the civilization that China has inherited since ancient times.

Liu Xian is exempt from kneeling and paying tribute, he is not a Red Dynasty that smashes the old order. In addition, he also has to visit his uncle, uncle-in-law and old Yue's house, and this busy work has passed the sixth day of the new year in a blink of an eye.

The flavor of the New Year in Beijing is still strong. After the New Year's Lantern Festival, after the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the city of Beijing is quiet.

"Beijing is really lively. I love China! Kalakaua I, who had changed into the monarch's dress, loved the festive atmosphere. He was indeed a happy monarch, born to be boisterous. Although I can't understand Chinese, it's enough to have a lively look!

And how lively the city of Beijing is during the New Year's Festival, just look at the tired and almost crying CIA agents around Kalakaua I who secretly protect them.

"This dog can really run. Where is it lively, he drills there. Yuan Shikai touched the sweat on his head, and looked at Kalakaua I, who was dressed in a red Hanfu and looked no different from a monster a hundred meters ahead, and hated it. This is more tiring than Li Xi's errand at the beginning.

"Damn, I annoyed Lao Tzu and directly made you weak. Look at how the fuck you're bouncing?! ”

Yuan Shikai is gritting his teeth here. A young man who was no older than him came over, dressed in civilian clothes, with an unremarkable face, and those who didn't know would never doubt that he would be in the field of special work and service. "Section Chief, Kalakaua is going to see the lion dance!"

"Inform the third team and go to the guard immediately!" Yuan Shikai's cheeks twitched, and he gritted his teeth and ordered. Raising his eyes to look at the big red back, his round body can be wider than two ordinary people, how can such a fat person have so good energy? Don't feel tired?

……

Just as Liu Xian was drowned in the visits of his ministers, and while Kalakaua I was happily playing, Beppu Shinsuke and Ito Hirobumi also spent this year's Spring Festival in Beijing.

Both also attended the banquet on the Chinese New Year's Eve, with the difference that Beppu Shinsuke also entered the palace to meet Liu Siam on the third day of junior high school, while Ito Hirobumi did not. This is because the Japanese government in Tokyo has not yet restored formal diplomatic relations with China.

Hirobumi Ito stood at the window on the second floor, and the cold wind blew through the open window on Hirobumi Ito's face. The sound of firecrackers and the sound of the lively market also poured into Ito's ears like a flood.

"Yanagihara-kun."

"Compared with the current city, the city of Beijing back then will be decaying and gloomy, and it will be sad and sad, right?"

Yanagihara Maemitsu, as Ito's deputy, entered Beijing again. Although he was the brother-in-law of Emperor Meiji, his status in the Tokyo government was far inferior to that of Hirobumi Ito. "Yes, Ito-kun."

"The Beijing in front of us is completely different from the Beijing in the pre-Qing Dynasty. One is like the rising sun, and the other is the setting sun. ”

Yanagihara Qianguang gritted his teeth with hatred for Xin Qin. However, the progress made by China in industrial development in recent years cannot be denied with a clear conscience.

China's steel production has exceeded 1.6 million tons and is on its way to 2 million tons. According to the growth rate of China's steel industry and the investment in steel construction last year, the scale of 2 million tons this year is definitely achievable. And the upcoming second session of the Chinese Cabinet, according to rumors in the second five-year plan of the steel industry outlook, the amount is 6 million tons!

What about Japan? With the vigorous support of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, Japan has only established three steel mills, with a total steel output of less than 100,000 tons, of which only 5,000 tons of steel. The gap between this and China is too big!

China under the rule of Liu Xian has already looked at the throne of the world powers, and it is becoming more and more desperate for Japan (Tokyo)!

"The imperial kingdom is ruined, and our great enemies have changed from His Majesty the Emperor of China to His Excellency the General Xixiang."

"Yes. Last year, His Excellency Okubo cut off 80% of his share of special funding for China. Takahashi-kun's mission has become to collect China's economic and military intelligence. ”

Hirofumi Ito stopped happening for a long time, and his eyes looked straight at a tall building in the distance, which was the Beijing Stock Exchange.

Yanagihara Maeko also lost his voice. Takahashi had met with them at the port of Tianjin not long ago. The hardships and tortures of the past few years can be seen just by looking at Takahashi-kun, who is less than forty years old, and his face is comparable to that of a sixty-year-old man, with gray hair.

In the end, both Ito Hirobumi and Yanagihara Maemitsu seemed to have flashed the bright smile on the faces of Beppu Shinsuke when they met at the banquet...... (To be continued......)
