Chapter 1: The Son of Heaven and the Princess
() Autumn 1997, Federal Republic of China, Capital, Luoyang, Zhu Forbidden City.
"Congratulations to the ...... of the dragon child"
"Cough-" Hearing this, the middle-aged man who had been waiting at the door of the room finally stopped coughing, and said with a happy expression in his words: "Quick, let Gu take a look." β
Soon, the attendant dressed in a yellow sè costume walked out of the room with a red, monkey-like baby in his arms.
"Is this the son of Lone? From today on, your name will be Jiang Taixiang. I must work hard to become the eighty-ninth emperor of the Chinese Federation......"
When it came to a word, there seemed to be indescribable pain in the middle-aged man's words, and the baby in his arms did not cry or laugh, but just looked at him, looking at him with an incredible look.
Then he seemed to remember something, opened his mouth, and cried loudly twice......
"Wow, wow......"
"Haha, it's a loud voice. β
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the crown prince will definitely thrive and become a Ming monarch. β
The attendant beside him bowed down respectfully and offered this blessing to his master, however, the middle-aged man felt that this sentence was extra harsh.
In the winter of 2008, Zhu Forbidden City.
"His Majesty the Son of Heaven, Gao Hai Aiqing will meet you. β
"Oh, Lone knows. β
The twelve-year-old silver-haired boy held the pot in one hand and waved the other hand at the people around him who were looking respectfully at him, motioning for them to come over.
"Finish frying for Lone. β
The young man who tied his long silver hair into a ponytail behind his back said a little coldly, then turned to look at the personal eunuch who came to inform him and said, "Let Gao Aiqing wait in the study for a while, and change your clothes first." β
"No need, Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, the lower officials have already come. β
Before he could finish speaking, with a sound of xìng, a handsome man in yellow clothes and a white crown walked in with his entourage.
"Meet His Majesty, the Son of Heaven. β
After a casual salute, the man who spoke, Gao Hai, stood up again, half-bent over, and said to the "Son of Heaven" who was looking at him there: "I don't know what new dishes the Son of Heaven has invented today, can you let the lower officials taste it?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the "Son of Heaven", and he took two steps forward and took Gao Hai's hand and said: "Gao Aiqing still understands Lone's heart, today Lone tried to make the Dragon Whisker Four Elements, and I will ask Gao Aiqing to taste it later." β
Gao Hai looked at the high-spirited Son of Heaven and sneered a few times in his heart, and said half-truths and half-truths and half-fakes from the heart: "His Majesty's craftsmanship is really the best in the world, and it is too stupid for other ministers not to know how to appreciate His Majesty's interest in elegance." There is a saying that food is the sky, and you can't even cook well, how can you be a good man. β
"Well said. β
The Son of Heaven looked at Gao Hai with the eyes of a confidant, and said: "Aiqing deserves to be the heart that understands me best, let's go, come to find Gu at this time, there must be something important, go outside and talk about it." β
"Yes, His Majesty the Son of Heaven. β
β...... That's pretty much it. I wonder what decision His Majesty the Son of Heaven has decided?"
"This kind of trivial matter is left to Lord Gao Hai to make a decision. There are still three cooking guides in the lonely study that I haven't read, and I'll have to think about them later. β
"Yes. After the official is done, he will definitely present the fold to His Majesty. β
"It doesn't have to be ...... No, let's show Lonely. After all, Lone still wants to learn from Gao Aiqing. β
"Your Majesty has won the prize. β
After that, Gao Hai said goodbye, and when he left at first, he still maintained an apologetic appearance, and when the son of heaven could not see himself, he slowly became arrogant.
"It's my luck to meet such a foolish genius. A son of heaven who only likes to cook but doesn't ask about other things, hehehe......"
"Bring a book from the study, and read it here. β
The Son of Heaven - Jiang Taixiang waved his hand to let his personal eunuch go to get things, while he sat in this elegant pavilion, watching the goldfish in the man-made pond swim around, silently in a daze.
It's been twelve years since I came into this world. Jiang Taixiang stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all his love.
I'm a traverser...... Crossed more than once. The first life was very ordinary, so ordinary that there was nothing to talk about. In the second life, he was reborn in Rìben, his name is Shota Takasaka, and his experience is not magnificent, but it is also a more meaningful life. But when he was young, he died under the knife of three girls - two girls he liked and one of his own sisters. Of course, they didn't mean to kill themselves......
It was just an accident.
And the world was completely different from the two he had known before. A technology tree deviates, and even history has changed a lot.
And the point of divergence in history is in the 3rd century of the imperial calendar. Cao CΔo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, eliminated Eastern Wu in the Battle of Chibi, and Western Shu surrendered, reuniting divided China. Then he pioneered a constitutional monarchy, with the "Son of Heaven" as the highest symbol of the ceremonial patriarchy of the state, and the executive power had to be carried out by the prime minister on his behalf. The Son of Heaven became a national symbol. And this country, renamed the Chinese Federation. In the 16th century, it became the world's first superpower, covering all of Asia, but in 1926 it implemented communist theory, and six months later a massive economic crisis broke out, and then the great eunuch clique revived, regaining control of the government.
In addition to the Chinese Federation, there are two other forces in the world that cannot be reckoned with, one is the EU, an organization similar to the European Union in the previous life. The other is the Holy Britannian Empire, the real superpower in the world, which is similar to Britain culturally, the United States in military strength, and the historical Holy Roman Empire in some ceremonial institutions.
Over the years, the Holy Britannian Empire has been trying to expand, and of all three powers, they are now the only ones. Not only military, but also economic.
These are all news that Jiang Taixiang can know. That's pretty much all he could knowβhe was just a puppet prince under house arrest in this magnificent palace. The actual power of this country is controlled by the eunuchs.
And he is also very confused, not knowing why he is in this country, and he is crowned as the Son of Heaven. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with some small abilities. He could only pretend to be useless and steal his life in front of the eunuchs, allowing them to murder his parents in this life with slow poison, letting the wheels of history run over his own body, and once again letting them do it to his relatives......
"Brother Tianzi~"
With a childish child's voice, a petite figure threw himself into Jiang Taixiang's arms.
"Lihua. Is today's lesson over?"
Seeing this girl who tied her silver hair into a few cute pigtails, Jiang Taixiang's eyes flashed with a hint of doting, reached out and stroked the girl's head, and asked with concern, "Have you taken classes seriously?"
"Hmm...... The teachers didn't understand the class Lihua very well. β
Jiang Lihua - the princess of the Chinese Federation and the only sister of Jiang Taixiang. She said with a distressed face, "I heard that Lihua is going to fall asleep." β
"Really?" Jiang Taixiang didn't have the slightest intention of blaming a fourth or fifth girl's disgust with school, he waved his hand to signal to follow Lihua's attendant to leave, then took out a few grains of candy from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Lihua and said, "I just made it in the imperial dining room." β
"Fructose?"
Jiang Lihua's eyes lit up when she saw what her brother was doing, but she still twisted it and said hesitantly: "They say that eating too much will cause tooth decay......"
"It's all a lie. β
Jiang Taixiang peeled off the candy wrapper, revealing different candies, held it in front of Lihua and said, "As long as you don't eat too much at one time, there will be no problem." Besides, Lihua brushes her teeth every day, doesn't she?"
"Hmm. Well. β
Lihua nodded twice, then made the decision to obey her heart, and opened her mouth with an "ah".
Jiang Taixiang smiled and slowly stuffed the candy in her hand into Lihua's small mouth, she quickly narrowed her eyes with enjoyment, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Brother Tianzi, this is orange-flavored. β
"Well, Lihua is very smart, and she eats it as soon as she eats it. β
Jiang Taixiang pinched his sister's face, which was still a little baby fat, and made her giggle a few times.
"Brother Tianzi, oranges, are those yellow, round fruits, a little sweet and a little sour. β
Lihua thought about it, felt the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, and asked curiously, "Can you show me one next time......?" But it's all cut. β
"Yes. Jiang Taixiang answered his sister's request with a smile and said, "Bring a big orange to Lihua." β
"Lihua still wants to see the orange tree!"
"This ...... Not in the palace. β
Jiang Taixiang's smile had a hint of bitterness in it, and said, "Lonely find a way to let people grow in, right?"
"I heard from the teacher that orange trees are plants in the south, and they don't necessarily grow in the north, right?"
Lihua blinked and asked, "Can I plant it?"
"It should ...... Is that okay?"
"Na Lihua also wants mango, longan, dragon fruit, coconut, pineapple, lychee, etc., I think can I have a big orchard~"
Lihua's eyes were full of longing as she looked at her brother.
"This ...... It's a little bit difficult. β
"Eh~Brother Tianzi is not omnipotent~"
Lihua pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "If you can't plant it, you can take Lihua to see it, okay?"
β...... Well. β
Jiang Taixiang was silent for a while before nodding.
"The hook. β
Lihua stretched out her short little thumb, shook it twice in front of her brother and said, "Hurry up and pull the hook." β
After her brother hooked her little finger, she showed a smile and said: "Hang yourself with a hook, you can't change for a hundred years~"
After speaking, she pressed her thumb on her brother's thumb, then let go of her hand, and said happily: "Lihua likes Brother Tianzi the most~"
"Well, Lone also likes Lihua the most. β
Jiang Taixiang stretched out his hand and hugged Lihua in his arms.
Rest assured. I will no longer let anyone stand in the way of our future. It will definitely build a kingdom for you and for you that you like. No matter how difficult the road will be, no matter how many people will stand in our way......
I'll level out a qiΔ for you, as your brother.
