Chapter 662: Happy New Year

There was silence in the room, no sound compared to the snow field in the wilderness.

Alexander III's face was not just a lonely and bitter face, Nicholas felt that it could only be described by the Chinese word 'heart is like ashes', and the whole person was an empty shell at this moment, without a soul.

"It's decided. At this time tomorrow, peace should come. Alexander III's face gradually became lively.

"The war cost us most of Siberia, half of Central Asia, and 150 million gold rubles. So the Fourth Sino-Russian War will definitely exist. Russia will not give up the wealth left by its predecessors, and Russia will not forget the shame it once received. ”

"Russia, although vast, not an inch of land is superfluous!"

Nikolai looked at his father seriously: "Father, I think you already have a solution, don't you?" ”

"Yes, there is already a solution! Otherwise, I will not be willing to die. Alexander III bowed his head emphatically, "We are Russians, greedy Russians. Let the whole of Europe believe in our unwillingness. From Britain and France, from the United States, from any part of Western civilization, get as much aid and money as possible to strengthen us, arm us, and strengthen us. ”

"Then ......, go for revenge at the right time! To wash away the shame we have suffered. ”

Nikolai talked to his father in his room for nearly two hours, and when he came out, his face was resolute, and his own temperament matched his military uniform. But these did not attract the attention of the Russian courtiers and the like at all. Because the Tsar's father and son often have such long conversations, and after each long conversation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's style will always be tougher and sharper, but this style will not last long at all.

It's time to enter the Chinese New Year. Liu Xian has already returned to Beijing in the cheers of the stretching road, and the scenery is infinite.

That day. When Liu Xian took the Praetorian Guard to stop at the Beijing Railway Station by train, the entire city of Beijing seemed to tremble. The cheers of hundreds of people overpowered the sound of firecrackers. The sound of the salute was drowned out. Liu Xianam's prestige is also in this endless cheer, and he officially walked towards the 'god position'.

Therefore, in the 14th year of the new Qin Dynasty [1890 in the Western calendar], the whole of China was filled with surging joy. Liu Xian held a banquet of a huge scale in the palace, which was attended by relatives of the emperor and the state, meritorious ministers, central ministers, members of the National Assembly, foreign envoys in China, foreign envoys to China, celebrities in the industrial and commercial circles, professors and scholars of Beijing-Tianjin University. The total number of people exceeded five thousand. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, with all the princes and princesses over the age of six years of the royal family, the central ministers, the important generals in the army, and the meritorious heroes, they worshiped the Xishan Martyrs' Shrine, and then on the second day of February in the 14th year of the new Qin, a larger scale was held before the huge military parade.

This military parade will forever be remembered in the history of China. Not only because the symbol of this military parade is the Third Sino-Russian War that put China completely at the forefront of the earth, but also because of the appearance of the movie.

Before the French Lumière brothers invented the film in 1895, this thing was first studied by Shi Jingshan. The image is continuously projected on the screen with strong lighting, and it looks like an image of an event. Coupled with a tape recorder, the effect is even more perfect. Although the sound and the influence are always out of place, it can't be really synchronized. But as soon as this invention appeared, it quickly swept the whole of China. And then flew out into the world.

This military parade in the spring of the 14th year of the new Qin Dynasty can be said to be the first military parade in Chinese history to be recorded by video. Even if time has passed for hundreds of years, it often appears in various films, plays, and documentaries.

Of course. It was also at this huge military parade that Liu Xian, who was dressed in military uniform, and his son Liu Sheng. It also appeared for the first time in film and television materials. There were many photos of father and son together, but this is the first time in the movie.

Liu Xian has little direction for movies. Now this primitiveized film. You're right, Spielberger, come here, he can't play either. For Liu Xian, this thing is more of a thing to record the children of the family, a very good thing.

Next year, his eldest son will turn eighteen. According to the laws of Xinqin now, this age is an adult, can bear full legal responsibility, and can appear alone as the head of a family. Liu Sheng can also get married!

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Xian to let his son get married so early. In these years, he has already announced the number of years of royal marriage, the woman is 18 years old, and the man is 20 years old.

The current new Qin royal family, the only one in the second generation to marry is Liu Xian's eldest daughter, his favorite Liu Mengyao. Liu Xian unexpectedly picked a civilian colt for her, nor did she let her fall in love freely, but when she chose a colt, she saw a group of real people with her own eyes and let her choose it herself. Of course, I must have shown the detailed information of these people to my baby daughter before.

Last year, before the start of the Sino-Russian war, the new Qin eldest princess officially got married. The horse is not from the Zhang family, but from the Fan family, the fifth son of Fan Debang, the son-in-law, although not the eldest son.

The young man is not very handsome, he can only be said to be handsome, after all, Fan Debang's face is resting there, and his wife in the main room can only be said to be upright. is four years older than Liu Xian's baby daughter. I didn't enter the officialdom, because I came into contact with Western studies early, and now I am taking the road of architects.

The character is very good, not arrogant, not pedantic, not very flexible, but thorough, know what is good and bad.

Liu Mengyao has her own princess mansion, and the emperor's daughter is married, of course, she doesn't have to go to her mother-in-law to make rules. Liu Xian gave his beloved daughter a large amount of dowry, gold and silver treasures, and grange land, not counting, Liu Xian also gave Liu Mengyao the island of Saipan that he bought from Spain, and many small islands and small islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Maybe these small islands are not worth much money now, and they don't have much economic value, but as long as the new Qin does not fall, China can continue to develop, and in a hundred years, these small islands will bring priceless benefits to the descendants of Liu Xian's precious daughter.

What made Liu Xian even happier was that when the first lunar month came out, in the palace, where the princess had not been born for several years, the good news that the princess was pregnant was once again spread, and a pair was passed on. The happy Liu Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and threw a handful of silver, and also changed the positions of the two concubines' families from one from the fourth rank to the other from the third grade. If these two concubines can safely leave the prince and princess, there may be two more concubines in the palace in the coming year.

Liu Xian's harem system is not like any dynasty in history, there are no queens, imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, always there, and promises, and some are only three levels of concubine-concubine-queen. It's just that the rank of 'concubine' is divided into three levels: concubine-concubine-concubine, but this is just what the palace itself said, and in terms of the etiquette system, the three levels of concubines are the same, and there is not much difference.

Concubine is a concubine without a plus sign, and is directly prefixed with her surname, such as Concubine Li, Concubine Tang, and Concubine Chen;

The main concubine is a concubine with a plus sign, and it is no longer prefixed with her surname, such as Concubine Li, Concubine Liang, Concubine Chen, and Concubine Yi;

And the concubine not only has a plus sign, but also holds a part of the power of the inner court and assists the queen in handling the affairs of the harem. There are only three such people in New Qin from beginning to end. Wang Luying is one of them, Liu Wanshu is the second, and Wang Biyun is not among them.

And the queen, of course, has been Zhang Miaotong from beginning to end.

Liu Xian also enjoyed the taste of being an 'uncle' during the Spring Festival this year. His eldest cousin, Huo Guangcheng, the son of his son, has been born. When he received the news, the face on Liu Xian's face was like a palette, indescribably weird. He remembered that his old cousin's eldest grandson was only sixteen this year!

Huo Guangcheng is three years older than Liu Xian, and his son was born early. By the time Liu Xian sat firmly in the world, Huo Guangcheng's son Huo Xian had already become his own son, and his eldest son Huo Chunyang only turned sixteen years old after the New Year!

Although among the Huo family, Huo Chunyang is definitely not the first person of this generation. But this can't stop Liu Xian from only recognizing Huo Wei as his aunt and cousin, and the other people surnamed Huo are really talented, that is, they just take a look at it. This is the same as Liu Xian's uncle's family, which is also his maternal family, and he only recognizes his uncle Wang Guisheng. Speaking of which, the first and second generations of Liu Xian's uncle's family are not very promising, and they are talented, but the third generation has a tight grasp of education, and there seem to be a few good seedlings.

Speaking of the only two relatives, Liu Xian was very emotional about his uncle and uncle. They are all honest people, and after Liu Xian sat in the world, he was also honest and did not cause trouble, did not connect with each other, and did not take power. This is the best relative for the emperor.

So when he knew that Huo Chunyang, the boy who should be taught a lesson, was only going to be a father at the age of sixteen, and he made his maid's belly bigger, and it was the same as the good news from the palace in the first month, it was also a pair, Liu Xian really didn't know what to say.

The ancient Chinese said that "you can't be rich for three generations", and this really makes sense.

The Huo family is the emperor's closest relative, and Huo Guangcheng is also on one side, Huo Guangzheng is the figure who will stabilize the first assistant in the future, the Huo family has two dukes, and the wealth, glory and power are obviously more prosperous than the Wang family that has not been able to come out with talents. The most important thing is Liu Xian's attitude towards the Huo family. The eyes of the people are bright.

Therefore, the Huo family's 'wealth' has reached the second place outside China. Such a family is rich and powerful, but lacks morality. Huo Chunyang obviously looks like a very good child, but the eldest grandson of the Huo family, who has high hopes, has made his personal maid belly bigger at a young age, and he can't bear to be quiet, no matter how he looks at it, he gives Liu Xian an impression that he is unworthy of a big task and difficult to become a big man.

"Moral heirlooms, more than ten generations, cultivation and reading heirlooms, poetry and books heirlooms, rich heirlooms, but three generations!" The words of the ancestors are reasonable. Although he can't make a conclusion about this kid Huo Chunyang, he has a knife on his head, and he has cut off most of his impression and feelings in front of Liu Xian in this matter alone.

Liu Xian has reached the age of half a hundred years and usually cares about future generations. The last thing he wanted to see was that his eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter were not born from the belly of his eldest son, daughter-in-law, the crown princess. (To be continued......)
