Perhaps, as my father said, the world of our Zhao family will dissipate one day, but ...... At least it can be as gorgeous as this firework.

I want to take on a great responsibility, worthy of my father, worthy of my mother, worthy of the gods, and worthy of all the people of the world.

As long as these four are worthy of it, are you afraid that the people of the world will fail my family? If my family has a negative world, even if it is like a ****, can it withstand the surging flood? What's the point of worrying?

Under the sometimes dazzling and sometimes dim rainbow light, the prince stretched out his hand and slowly clenched it into a fist.

"Live up to the world."

Early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor took the princes to the Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestral tablets - since the establishment of the new dynasty, according to the traditions of various dynasties, the ancestral portraits and gods of the Zhu family have been removed from the Fengxian Palace, and the tablets of the ancestors of the previous generations of the Zhao family have been put in, and the ancestors of these generations have also been given their own titles.

However, after all, the Zhao family was born in cloth, and the emperor didn't like any Shinto things, so he didn't make up any natural visions for himself, dreaming of a white dragon and other life to deify himself, and he didn't make up all kinds of stories to claim that the Mandate of Heaven had already arrived in the Zhao family in Xuzhou.

In a solemn atmosphere, the royal men bowed to the portraits of their ancestors one by one, and waited until the sky was already bright before they walked out of the Fengxian Hall.

Today, the cabinet is not working, except for the necessary petty officials on duty, most of the officials have been on vacation, but the palace has not been deserted because of this, because according to the practice of the new dynasty, the civil and military ministers in Beijing have to enter the palace on the first day of the new year to meet and enjoy a large dinner, and even the envoys of the vassal states in Beijing have to enter the palace on this day to worship, so there are more people in the palace than before.

Because there were many family members brought in, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the ministers were all dressed in civilian clothes, while the military ministers were wearing brand new military dresses, and they pinned their medals to their chests, showing off their martial arts to everyone. The ministers of various families gathered together in twos and threes to chat and chat, and the palace was already in an uproar at this time.

These people who come to worship can not enter the inner court, the royal is generally in the outer court of the imperial palace to summon them, in the pre-Ming era, the imperial palace is used to hold various ceremonies, such as the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the queen, the fate of the expedition and so on, in addition to the annual longevity festival, New Year's Day, winter solstice three major festivals, the emperor here to accept the civil and military officials of the court, and to the princes and ministers to give a banquet.

Due to the prosperity of the mind, the social atmosphere of the former Ming Dynasty was already very open, but the court was generally very conservative and pursued majesty, and the women and children of foreign ministers wanted to enter the palace even rarer. And the new dynasty because it started at the end of the micro, so there is not so much exquisiteness, but there is a lot of folk atmosphere, this kind of ministers bring their families to the New Year's tradition, quite a simple style when they started in Xuzhou.

When they entered the hall one after another, the main hall had already prepared a table, which was filled with all kinds of fresh fruits and fine wines for everyone to enjoy.

In the beginning, there was some confusion in this New Year's greeting, because the ministers and envoys of the feudal kingdoms did not know how to rank, but after a few years of drills, everyone already had a set of tacit ranking rules, civil and military officials used their official positions to determine the distance from the royal family, and the envoys of the feudal kingdoms had another specially arranged area, and everyone sat down according to this set of rules, although noisy but not chaotic.

According to the rules, Prime Minister Yongguo Gong Wang Zhaojing is the top person in the cabinet and nobles, so their family sits in the position closest to the royal throne, and Xu Housheng, the minister of work and the prince of Weiguo, is arranged in the position next to him because of his special relationship with the royal family, and their family's seat is just close to the prime minister.

"Gongxiang!" According to the practice of the new dynasty, as soon as he sat down, the prime minister congratulated the prime minister. "Happy New Year."

"Prime Minister, Happy New Year." Xu Housheng, the Duke of Weiguo, hurriedly congratulated the prime minister.

"What does Her Majesty the Queen say about leaving the palace?" The prime minister didn't have much politeness, so he asked directly.

He had previously arranged for the Minister of Work to come here to ask the queen for instructions, which was to use their status as sisters and brothers to facilitate persuasion.

"Her Majesty the Queen said that this matter is feasible, and praised us and others, saying that the ministers have a heart." The minister didn't say much, and replied to him directly, "However, Her Majesty also said that after all, our dynasty is newly established and lacks financial plans, so we still have to be stingy with people's and financial resources, and don't be too extravagant." ”

"And what do you think?" The prime minister smiled slightly.

"I think ......" Gong Xiang just wanted to say, but he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped and glanced at his son next to him.

Although they are not talking about the most confidential matters of the imperial court now, the minister of work has always been serious, and he does not like his wife and children to participate in the political affairs of the imperial court.

So, seeing that the prime minister and the minister were going to talk about things, their families avoided them slightly, so as not to disturb the conversation between the two important ministers.

The prime minister is a family of poetry and books, and today he brought his eldest son, Wang Zexian, the prince of Yongguo, although his son is not very old, but he has also been taught to know how to abide by the rules and etiquette, and when he saw that his father wanted to talk about the court, he consciously took the initiative to step aside.

After seeing that the family members on both sides had left, the minister was relieved and picked up again. "I think Her Majesty wants to be sympathetic to the people, this heart is good, but the court is not so embarrassed now, we don't need to be really so stingy, since we want to repair, then we have to repair it big. Of course, I'm not saying how magnificent it should be, but at least it must be magnificent, and it must be worthy of the status of the Han Dynasty. ”

He had selfish intentions to reunite his sister's family and live a life worthy of his royal status, but the prime minister did not intend to break his selfish intentions - because the prime minister himself thought about it.

"If only you thought so." The prime minister nodded. "Alright, that's it. The problem of money, as long as you don't make it into a three-step Jintang five-step jade step, there is still a way. After the New Year, you should treat this project as a top priority, and leave the rest to someone else to take care of, and don't forget, not only you, but also the cabinet ministers are looking forward to the day when it will be completed. ”

"Okay, I understand." Gongxiang nodded. "After the New Year, I will go to the western suburbs to survey the place, find a place with good mountains and rivers, and complete the site selection as soon as possible."

However, he still had some doubts in his heart -- on weekdays, although the cabinet had been supporting the major projects for which he was responsible, he had always been reluctant to do so, and the audit was also very strict, for fear of wasting an extra point, but when it came to this project, he suddenly became so generous.

"By the way, the prince will also go out with me after the New Year, while inspecting the progress of the defense project of the Beijing Division, and at the same time take a break by the way." When he said this, Gongxiang suddenly remembered this incident.

"The prince will also go out on patrol?" The prime minister moved slightly.

Combined with the emperor's previous arrangements to let the crown prince participate in the state council and prepare to let the prince go out of the town of Goryeo to conquer the future, it seems that the prince's gradual involvement in the government is inevitable.

Alas, time flies so fast, and the prince is about to grow up in a flash...... The Prime Minister's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of a different feeling from the current atmosphere.

"This is a very good matter, but you should pay attention to your safety over there, and don't let the prince have any mistakes." After saying a few words, he turned his head again and looked at his young son.

The prince is a benevolent and intelligent child, and he will be able to become a great weapon in the future, but he doesn't know what his son will be able to become by then? I just hope that he can continue to assist the Han royal family at that time.

While the ministers were still chatting, a person who came to the palace to congratulate was taken out of the main hall by the palace attendants, but because of his special status, not many people noticed his departure, and they continued to chat.

This person was the head of the Goryeo mission in Beijing, Li Ke of the Goryeo clan.

Under the leadership of the courtiers, he walked along the road next to the Huangji Hall to the Zhongji Palace, and heard the courtiers say that the emperor and the crown prince of the Han Dynasty would meet him there and discuss important matters.

The head of the mission, dressed in a green shirt, had a long body, a slender beard, and very fair skin, and looked like a scribe who had read poetry and books. In fact, although he is a member of the clan of the Goryeo Kingdom, he does have a deep foundation in Sinology.

However, although it was a privilege to be summoned by the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, his expression was serious, and there seemed to be deep worry lurking between his eyebrows. He was worried about his motherland Goryeo, and he was thinking about what he should do to win the favor of the Chinese emperor and let him be a little more lenient with the motherland.

After Gwanghae-jun was reinstated by the imperial court, in order to strengthen his control over Goryeo, an embassy was set up in Goryeo, and similarly, Goryeo was asked to set up a mission in the capital.

In the pre-Ming era, Goryeo did not have a permanent diplomatic mission in the Ming Dynasty, they only regularly sent tributary missions to the capital to worship the emperor, although every time the royal power changed, Goryeo would send envoys to inform the Ming, but it was not under the actual control of the Ming. In the Wanli period, when Japan crossed the sea to attack Goryeo and poisoned one side, although the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue and finally drove the Japanese army out of Goryeo, it did not garrison in Goryeo after that, and immediately withdrew, and soon fell into internal chaos.

The new dynasty was not so generous, and restored Gwanghaejun to the throne of Goryeo, and they immediately demanded a huge payment and sent an embassy and garrison. Moreover, the embassy in Seoul was arrogant and arrogant with the prestige of the Chinese and Korean dynasties, and it seemed that the Goryeo court did not take the Goryeo court seriously at all, which made the Goryeo people indignant.
