At this moment, the two male waiters removed the Go table and replaced it with a garden table, and various dishes from the neighboring restaurant were brought over one by one. [Eight?] 1{〈〈Small.}

Just across the dining table, a snow-white fluorescent curtain slowly descended from the ceiling, and the fluorescent curtain flashed, which was the content of a set of programs on Jiutian TV, reporting on the scene of the trip of Prince Zhu Xingyun and Princess Zhu Caiyun to Changtai.

It is now the time for the prince and the princess to eat and rest, and on the TV screen, the host and guests are analyzing the meaning of the prince's long Thai line one by one. It is also constantly interspersed with pictures of the prince's various activities today, and at the same time, it also constantly introduces the history of the Nine Heavens Empire.

Although the royal family of the Nine Heavens Empire is weak, it has done a very good job of using propaganda media to build momentum. Especially when Emperor Zhulong was old and frail, in order to do a good job in the connection of the inheritance of the throne, the prince had to show up more in order to gain the favor of the public and ensure the smooth inheritance of the throne.

After the destruction of a thousand years ago, the remnants of the Han people, after more than 700 years of tribal reproduction, gradually prospered. However, in the face of the pressure generated by other races and alien beasts, people have to move towards the Great Alliance again and again in order to strengthen their fighting power.

Two hundred and sixty years ago, more than thirty tribes, centered on the city of Gufeng, formed a loose alliance, and the alliance formed a mutual aid treaty within a vast area to defend against beasts and natural disasters.

The Nine Heavens Empire, formerly known as the Nine Heavens Tribe, originated from Chonghe County on the southwestern border of Gufeng. The Zhu family, who had been farming for generations, opened an open-pit coal mine when they reclaimed a wasteland, and the family's fortunes began to change from then on. Since then, the Zhu family has abandoned farming and become a coal boss who can get rich overnight.

Zhu Youfu, the patriarch of the generation, led a few poor people to sell coal everywhere, and the funds obtained were reinvested to expand production, and life got better day by day, and more and more people depended on him around him, and finally established the Jiutian tribe.

The second-generation patriarch Zhu Weimin finally obtained the status of the leader of the alliance through his wealth, and used money to win the first political bargaining chip for himself.

The third generation of patriarchs no longer attached to this loose alliance leader, in order to dig for greater political power, fantasized that one day they could restore the imperial system thousands of years ago, unify the tribes, and expand the pace of military warfare.

Since then, this program of governing the country has been completely adopted by future generations. After two more generations of continuous efforts, the Nine Heavens Tribe has become a behemoth in the alliance.

The fifth-generation patriarch was cowardly by nature and died soon after, and it is rumored that his wife was poisoned.

After the death of the five generations of patriarchs, his wife Wenshu stole the power of the patriarch in the name of the auxiliary government, she did not have a patriarch, with high political wisdom and strong diplomatic skills, carried out internal rectification, strengthened control, rewarded farming, and began the road of unification of the war abroad.

Wen Sook died at the age of 7o. She did not claim to be the patriarch until she died. At that time, she had actually controlled nineteen of the thirty-five tribes.

After that, the sixth and seventh generations of patriarchs pursued the strategy of foreign war, and their power soon expanded to twenty-eight tribes. The eighth generation of the patriarch reigned for twenty-three years, due to years of war, the clan's finances could not make ends meet, and the people were dissatisfied, and four tribes broke out of control, and formed a new alliance with the other seven tribes, known as the 'Rebellion of the Eleven Tribes'. The chaos lasted thirteen years, with both sides winning and losing, culminating in the conclusion of a peace agreement.

Since the era of the ninth generation of patriarchs, the Baro people, who originated on the east coast of the Jiuyou Sea in the south, have created a large number of exotic beasts because of their excellent genetic technology, and began to attack the Han people's settlements. Within a month, three tribes were wiped out.

In order to survive, the six tribes quickly took refuge in the Nine Heavens Tribe, and the other two tribes had to abandon their homes and disappeared because their hatred with the Nine Heavens Tribe was too deep to be resolved.

At this point, the new alliance of the eleven tribes collapsed in the blink of an eye. The Nine Heavens Empire was established immediately, and the capital city is now Gufeng City.

Today's Nine Heavens Empire, passed into the hands of Zhu Long, is already the twelfth generation, after more than two hundred years, but the actual establishment time of the Nine Heavens Empire is less than a hundred years now.

Zhu Long is now 61 years old, and has reigned for 31 years, during which Zhu Long inherited the characteristics of his father's generation, exchanging land for peace, and a corner of peace.

Following his father's loss of Feiyun City, Changyin City and Zuoshan City, he successively lost the two ancient tribal cities of Lego City and Hanyang City, and also lost the Altar Mountain used by the tribal alliance to worship the heavens every year.

Zhu Long, who is not strong militarily, lacks sufficient talents to assist him politically. Due to a series of strategic mistakes, and most of the courtiers were veterans of the previous generation, Zhu Long's health deteriorated, resulting in a rare turmoil in the government and the opposition since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Two opposing factions gradually surfaced. One faction of the former court minister Lei Tian became the lord, mainly supporting the crown prince Zhu Xingyun, and the other faction of the former court minister Jia Fengzhen was the main and strongly supported the second son Zhu Huanjin.

The two sides are evenly matched, water and fire are intolerable, and Zhu Long has been seriously ill in recent years, and it is even more difficult to control these important ministers of the former dynasty. This makes it more difficult for the DPRK and China to make decisions and unify opinions, and is often called brain-dead politics by the people.

In view of the chaos in the imperial government, various forces within the empire were dependent on each other, and undercurrents were surging, and cities continued to declare independence and rebel. The counterinsurgency team was pinned down by both forces, and although the rebellion was eventually quelled, the vitality of the empire was greatly damaged.

Zhu Long has a total of three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Zhu Xingyun and daughter Zhu Caiyun were born to Queen Zhengxuan, and Zhu Huanjin and Zhu Huandou were born to Shuyu Guifei. Zhu Huandou was born with cerebral palsy, was stupid all day long, and couldn't take care of himself.

Empress Zhengxuan died suddenly two years after giving birth to Zhu Caiyun, the cause is unknown, and Zhu Long ordered no longer to investigate the matter.

After Zhengxuan's death, the old minister Jia Fengzhen and many ministers in the court wrote to request that Concubine Shuyu be made empress and that Zhu Huanjin, the son of Concubine Shuyu, be made the crown prince, and Zhu Long should not, for which the two sides launched a fierce struggle, and later because Concubine Shuyu and the Chinese minister Xi Zhe of the dynasty conspired to rebel, and was executed by Zhu Long.

Fortunately, Lei Tiancheng controlled the armed forces of the DPRK and China, and the problem eased somewhat, but recently, the opposition represented by Jia Bongzhen put forward a motion to impeach Lei Tiancheng on the grounds that the Changtai front war was ineffective. Although it was repeatedly opposed by Emperor Zhu Long, there were still people who kept raising it. Perhaps this is also the only reason that Jia Fengzhen caught to remove Lei Tiancheng from power.

This reason is undoubtedly very beneficial to him, but for Lei Tiancheng, although he has been protected by the emperor many times, the situation is extremely bad.

In the private room, the sumptuous dinner has just begun. Zhao Dashan was often the most excited one at this time, with the largest range of movements, the largest voice, and the largest open mouth, which caused Jin Ling'er to frown incessantly, and Zhang Yunfang couldn't stop covering her mouth and sneering.

"Hey, this dish is worth it, I'm sorry for the cook if you don't eat it,...... Well, yes, really good...... This dish is really good...... Don't waste this dish, hey, this dish is also very good, very good, yes...... Waiter, I want to take this package with ....... As if there was no one next to Zhao Dashan, he kept filling the fat mouth with vegetables, and muttered from time to time, which surprised everyone present.

"Smack!" Jin Ling'er slapped Zhao Dashan on the head: "You still don't let others eat it!" ”

Zhao Dashan endured the pain and filled the vegetables in his mouth, and after swallowing them in his stomach, he grinned and cried out in pain.

Pan Shining put down his chopsticks, held his stomach and smiled.

About half an hour later, the TV screen flashed and the camera switched to the forum. Everyone's attention gradually focused on the TV screen.

In the TV, Liu Qingfeng and Liu Mingyue sat in the middle of the studio, and the two greeted the audience with a smile, with the host on the side. Behind the curtain of the studio, four white figures stood on the left and right, which were the four Venus guards brought by the prince and the princess.

The host asked respectfully, and the crown princess answered with a smile, and the topic was light and engaging. Then the host invited three guests to the stage to talk with the princess, the prince made witty words, and the audience participated in the audience, constantly applauding and bursting with applause.

Seeing the dignified and quiet princess Zhu Caiyun, Yao Ping's eyes surged with love and sadness. Ling Yu smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that this Yao Ping still had true feelings for this imperial princess.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "The show is not over yet, how about we go and see the princess and prince again?" They're going back to the old ways tomorrow. ”

Everyone was stunned. Yao Ping was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Ling Yu said: "As the crown prince and princess, of course it is not easy for us to see each other, we can only go to the vicinity of the mayor's office to try our luck and see if we can see the true body of the prince and princess." ”

Yao Ping immediately nodded and said, "Okay, the scene where they produced the show is in the City Lord's Mansion, and they are staying at the Changtai Hotel, let's stop it halfway to see if we can see them." ”

Zhao Dashan touched Yuan's rolling belly, burped and said, "Move, move." ”

There was no disagreement from the crowd, and ten minutes later, the eight of them had already walked on Changtai Street. On the street, the lights are bright, and the bustle is still there. People passing by were holding national flags in their hands and excitedly shuttling through the streets. Many merchants took advantage of this opportunity to desperately promote and sell their own things.

Ling Yu and his party followed the flow of people all the way to the City Lord's Mansion to the north. I only walked for ten minutes. A cordon appeared in front of them, and behind the cordon, a group of armed defenders of the country, one every half a meter away, all stood with guns like sculptures, ignoring the noise around them.

"It's at least two kilometers away from the mayor's office building, so it's so far away that it's under martial law?" Qin Jiang muttered.

"Go, go, don't go near the cordon! Hurry up! The gun-wielding national protector shouted at Qin Jiang with a stiff attitude.

A sneer hung on the corner of Qin Jiang's mouth, a guard of this level, without Ling Yu's move, he could slap two to death with one hand. However, he still pulled Ling Yu and walked back.
