Chapter 1288: Heir to the Empire
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
At the palace dinner, Bing'er, dressed in a pale red palace dress, became the most dazzling and dazzling presence in the audience.
After the New Year, Bing'er will be sixteen years old, she is a real Tingting girl, last year according to the ancient etiquette, performed the ceremony, according to ancient standards, is already considered an adult.
Therefore, a few years ago, Bing'er, who had been observing politics in Qiongzhou County for two years, was transferred to the Secret Pavilion by Ouyang Shuo, officially awarded the position of secretary Lang, and stepped into the officialdom of Great Xia.
After five years of hard study and two years of watching politics, Bing'er has already transformed from an ignorant girl to a rookie in officialdom.
For a time, the wind surged.
The difference between observing politics and participating in politics is a world of difference.
His Majesty's intention to put the eldest princess into the Secret Literature Pavilion to train and cultivate a successor is already very obvious.
In such a situation, Bing'er, who appeared at the royal family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, naturally became the focus of the audience, and Ouyang Shuo even arranged for Bing'er to sit on the right side, and the intention of raising Bing'er's status in the royal family was clearly revealed.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo's true thoughts, the ministers did not guess.
It's been eight years since Gaia, and if nothing else, there are only three years left before the fleet arrives on the Planet of Hope.
Time is pressing, and Ouyang Shuo is already planning the Hope Planet.
When Starfleet arrives on the Planet of Hope, Ouyang Shuo's main energy will inevitably shift from the game world to the real world, and he will have no time to take care of the empire in the game.
In ten years, the game world has long been a self-contained system, an inseparable part of reality, and even if it reaches the Planet of Hope, it will continue to run.
The game world will become a long-term platform for cultivating artificial intelligence and training inhumans.
In such a situation, Ouyang Shuo needed someone who was absolutely trustworthy to sit in the game world for him and maintain the operation of the Great Xia Empire.
Bing'er is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Bing'er was brought up by Ouyang Shuo, and he also cultivated it single-handedly. In the future, the two brothers and sisters, one in the Hope Planet and the other in the game world, are the best combination.
Ouyang Shuo only hoped that Bing'er could grow up quickly.
Only after Bing'er watched politics for two years, she overrode public opinion, took her with her, and cultivated her carefully.
Ouyang Shuo only told his wife Song Jia about this thought, even Bing'er herself didn't know about it, let alone the ministers in the court.
Some discussions, too, are normal.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the New Year.
Compared with previous years, because of the unification of China, this New Year of the Chinese people is more meaningful. With the civil war completely gone, the people have reason to look forward to a better life in the coming year.
February 10, Jingshi, Imperial Auditorium.
Located in the northwest corner of the Imperial City, the Imperial Auditorium is an imposing Chinese-style building that was completed in October last year and is known as the Pearl of Beijing as the center of the Empire's large-scale gatherings and performances.
Next to the auditorium, there is also the Imperial Grand Theater, where traditional Chinese opera performances are held every day. During the Chinese New Year, top operas such as "The Peony Pavilion", "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Farewell My Concubine" were staged in turn.
Being on the stage of the Imperial Theatre is an honor in itself.
This year, the imperial court is also preparing to build an Imperial Stadium and an Imperial Keju Hall around the two iconic buildings to form a cultural center for each other.
The cultural and sports undertakings of the empire are thriving.
The rule of Shenwu pioneered by Great Xia has surpassed any dynasty.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the main venue of the auditorium was already full, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of big names in the literary world, including poets led by Li Bai and Du Fu, and lyricists led by Su Shi and Wen Tingyun.
There are opera artists led by Tang Xianzu, ancient literary masters such as Han Yu, and Cao Xueqin's family.
In addition, there were folk scribes from southern Xinjiang, Africa, and the American continent, all gathered together, basically representing the highest level of imperial literature.
It is of great significance that all the big names gathered together to attend the "First Literary and Art Symposium of the Empire and the Inaugural Meeting of the Imperial Writers Association", and at the same time to elect the presidium of the first Writers Association.
In Ouyang Shuo's words: "The prosperous era should have the atmosphere of the prosperous era, and in the new era, there must be new works." Whether it is poetry and song, or opera, it should usher in a new bloom. ”
It was under this aim that the Writers' Guild was formed, led by the Imperial Cabinet itself.
Spanning thousands of years, literati carry different literary genres, colliding with each other in a new time and space, and there must be new insights and new inspirations.
"In a great era, great works must be born!"
The eighth year of Gaia is a new watershed for Bactria as the empire shifts from simple hegemony and economic construction to economic, cultural, military, and social construction.

February 25, Honolulu, Hawaii County.
During the Spring Festival, the whole country celebrates and enjoys a rare holiday. But there is also a special group of people who cannot leave their posts and reunite with their families because of their mission.
They are the soldiers of Great Xia.
Starting from the fifth day of the first lunar month, Ouyang Shuo started a journey of condolences to the army.
The Gyeonggi Theater, the Central Plains Theater, the North Asian Theater, the West Asia Theater, the South Seas Theater, the African Theater, and finally the Americas Theater all ran through the scenes.
Thanks to the teleportation array, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get out.
Among them, the three major theaters of North Asia, West Asia and South Asia are the focus of Ouyang Shuo's condolences, they guard the border for the empire, silently dedicate, and are a group of the most lovely people.
In the African Theater and the American Theater, Ouyang Shuo said some words to boost morale and called on the whole army to meet the new battle with a new atmosphere after disarmament.
"Life never stops, and the fight doesn't stop!"
In this way, the battle horn of the imperial Gaia for eight years was sounded.
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also inspected the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, personally boarded the flagship, and declared his unswerving faith in the navy and the sea.
Walking down in a circle, the Lantern Festival has passed.
At the last stop of the journey, Ouyang Shuo chose Honolulu.
This is the only area of the empire that is still fighting during the Spring Festival, the First Legion of the Tiger Army, and the Night Army have been fighting for more than a month, and Honolulu is still standing.
The proud Night Empire was completely blinded by Great Xia.
After paying nearly 100,000 casualties, he still did not capture the small Honolulu.
After this battle, it is estimated that the high-level leaders of the Dark Night Empire will have to sober up and weigh whether they really have the strength to challenge the hegemony of Great Xia.
At least on land, they are far behind.
That's basically what the Tiger Ben Army can do, Honolulu's grain and grass materials have been exhausted, and the army can no longer hold on.
On the contrary, the army of the night is backed by the Mu continent and has a steady stream of supplies.
It was under such a circumstance that Ouyang Shuo came to Honolulu and prepared to personally pick up the sons and daughters home.
