The princes and ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty, the harem concubines, the relatives of the emperor, the provincial officials, the princes and kings, the envoys of the vassal states and the 36 tribal missions of the eastern and western Huijiang grasslands all gathered in the main hall of the Baohe Palace, and an unprecedented celebration in the history of the land of Beihua was being staged.

The Great Xia Dynasty was located in the middle of the land of Beihua, covering an area of about 300 square kilometers, with 20 provinces, 200 prefectures and 2,000 counties, with a total population of more than 80 million and more than 1 million soldiers. Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty Taizu Anping Emperor, all generations of monarchs have made great efforts, successively conquered the nearby Xikang, Nanzhao, Annam, Bohai, Dongzheng, Xiqi, Northern Han, Western Liao and other countries and the 36 tribes of the East and West Huijiang grasslands, to the Taiping period of Emperor Jing, the state of the Great Xia Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong, and the two monarchs of Emperor Ming and Emperor Jing created a prosperous era of Ming and Jingdi for more than 100 years. In the land of Beihua, as long as the sun shines on the place, it is all the land of the Great Xia Dynasty or a subject country, and the people of Beihua also live and work in peace and contentment, sharing peace.

In the early morning of the 15th day of the first month of the 61st year of Taiping, the princes and ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty, the harem concubines, the emperor's relatives, the provincial officials, the princes and kings, the vassal envoys and the 36 tribes of the eastern and western Huijiang grasslands gathered in the main hall of the Baohe Palace, and at the same time invited 9,999 old people over 80 years old to congratulate the Great Xia Dynasty.

At the beginning of the early morning, the chief eunuch Jia Zheng Jia Gonggong shouted loudly, carried by the sky, His Majesty has a decree, the two-hundredth anniversary of the Great Xia Dynasty officially began, and the ministers worshipped. So everyone knelt down and shouted, long live the emperor, long live your majesty, and long live in Daxia.

Emperor Liang of the Taiping Emperor all stood up and shouted: "Everyone, give me a seat." After shouting thanks to Your Majesty, everyone sat down in an orderly manner on a small stool behind them. At this time, the Taiping Emperor Liang Shi shouted loudly:

His Majesty Emperor Anping, the Taizu of the Great Xia Dynasty, started from scratch, fearless of hardships and obstacles, and took it as his responsibility to seek well-being for the people and open peace for all generations. After a lot of hardships, fortunately with the blessing of the emperor, the manifestation of the earth, and the wisdom and martial arts of Emperor Taizu, he finally established the Great Unification ten years after the army, and established the Great Xia Dynasty two hundred years ago today. Later, Ming'an, Mingde, Chongde, Taihe, Mingren, etc. of the Great Xia Dynasty were listed as the ancestors of Mingjun to continue to work hard, and the rest of the Fen VI was finally built into today's prosperous dynasty. This is God bless the Great Xia, and God bless the blessing of the Great Xia!

I am stupid and talented, but fortunately I have the trust of the first emperor, the blessing of the emperor and the queen of heaven, and the support of all the monarchs, so that I can inherit the unification and inherit the temple of the Great Xia Dynasty. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been like a day for 60 years, and I have inherited the peaceful and prosperous era as my own responsibility, and I have worked hard and thriftily to inherit and carry forward the foundation created by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty with the assistance of you.

I have always practiced the national policy of Emperor Taizu never giving more endowments, coexisting peacefully with other countries, and not occupying more neighboring territories. I always believe that no one will offend me and I will not offend others, and I will not take the initiative to infringe on other countries or interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. However, at the request of other countries, they successively sent troops to help Annam, Bohai, Dongzheng, Xiqi, Northern Han, Western Liao and other countries to eradicate the treacherous and rebellious, and returned the fraternal country to peace and prosperity. Wherever the sun shines, they have surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has surpassed the most emperors of the Beihua land. Now the population of the country is more than 80 million, more than 1 million soldiers, and the national treasury is more than 80 million silver, and the strength of the dynasty is unprecedentedly strong.

At present, the Great Xia Dynasty has a long life, and I share the wealth with you, and we will live forever together. Now the eunuch chief Jia Zheng read out the edict of Daqing.

Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live........................ long live my emperor, long live the sound of long live long live my emperor is deafening.

Jia Gonggong stepped forward to preach: ...... the music, everyone stood up, so the sound of drums and suona sounded, and the Taiping Emperor Liang Shi and everyone were all in high spirits and on a whim. After the music, everyone knelt down to receive the order.

Since I succeeded to the throne, you have spared no effort to emulate the sages, overcome hardships and hardships, and assist me in establishing the foundation of a peaceful and prosperous world, which will surely go down in history with me. Now I have succeeded to the throne as the 60th anniversary of the emperor, creating the most emperors in the land of Beihua, which is the support and assistance of all monarchs. The celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty and the 60th anniversary of my succession to the throne as emperor are now held.

The 9,999 people who came today are the old people who represent the longevity of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they are my siblings.

Everyone shouted long live the emperor, long live long live............

The envoys of various countries and the 36 tribes of the eastern and western grasslands came from thousands of miles away, and I was very pleased. I also hope that you will greet you and other kings, and I promise to fulfill the policy of diplomatic relations with Emperor Taizu of the Great Xia Dynasty and the agreements with the countries and the grasslands, never invade, equal and mutually beneficial, exchange trade markets, and share peace. Now reward the envoys of various countries and the envoys of the grasslands, 100,000 quintals of bud rice, and 10,000 horses of cloth.

Everyone shouted long live the emperor, long live long live...............

After the five founding heroes shared the glory and disgrace with the Great Xia Dynasty, they went through a lot of hardships and hardships to jointly protect the two-hundred-year foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty. Zheng once again reiterated that in accordance with the internal affairs of Emperor Taizu Anping, he would share the politics of Great Xia with Er, and would never withdraw or cut down the feudal domain. From today onwards, the court officials belonging to the fiefs of the five major feudal kings will be revoked, and all government affairs of the fiefs will be in the hands of the feudal kings.

Everyone shouted long live the emperor, long live long live............... The ministers will live up to their mission and guard the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty forever.

Wang Zhong, the left prime minister, and Zhang Gong, the right prime minister, are highly respected, and have worked hard to assist me for more than 40 years. Tejia Feng Wang Zhong is the king of Anjun, Zhang Gong is the king of Pingjun, and the books of each department are the titles of the six major halls of the university, and they are a product. The governors of all provinces received the title of Shangshu, promoted from a first-class product, and the meritorious ministers were promoted to a higher level and retained, and Wanger and others made persistent efforts to make new contributions.

Everyone shouted long live the emperor, long live long live............

The thirteenth prince Liang Kun is loyal, diligent and studious, and has made great contributions in the fields of flood control and disaster relief. Now that I am more than 80 years old, I am unable to govern the country, and I now crown the thirteenth son Liang Kun as the crown prince, and from now on I will be the regent of the country to help me deal with the government affairs. Now, I invite you to bow down to the prince.

The thirteenth son was born in the thirtieth year of Taiping, and is now thirty years old. was crowned as the crown prince, Liang Kun was very shocked, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, and only kowtowed to thank him when he was reminded by the eldest prince Liang Kuan. After that, Liang Kun walked up to the temple and accepted everyone's worship, and the voice of the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose sounded.

The thirteenth son Liang Kun was crowned as the crown prince, and in addition to Liang Kun himself, the princes were even more shocked. The eldest prince Liang Kuan is honest and has no intention of arguing for the prince, Liang Kun is the prince, and the eldest prince also thinks it is good, and he is overjoyed after hearing the holy decree shock; The second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince have been reprimanded by Emperor Taiping, and they have no chance to be the crown prince, nor do they form a party for personal gain, and the thirteenth prince Liang Kun is a good thing for them to be the prince, and they are naturally happy; The six princes and the seventh prince are deceased, headed by the eighth prince, united with the ten princes and the twelve princes to intrigue and fight, connect with the courtiers and traders, form a party for personal gain, and secretly compete for the prince, after the decree, the three of them were very angry, and the eight princes wanted to come forward to ask the Taiping Emperor, but fortunately the left prime minister Huang Zhong pulled a handful to be eye-catching, and the ten princes and the twelve princes also gritted their teeth; The Nine Emperors attracted the Eleventh Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and the Fifteenth Prince to gather the masters of the rivers and lakes, the ministers of the court and the gate valve clan to fight openly and secretly with the Eight Princes, and now the Thirteenth Prince Liang Kun is the crown prince. The thirteenth prince Liang Kun often made friends with the sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince, and after hearing that Liang Kun was the crown prince, the two smiled and were very happy.

The other princes and ministers were either the Eighth Prince's party, or the Ninth Emperor's party, or remained neutral, in short, one person had one face, and everyone had different expressions, some worried, some kind, but they all quickly returned to normal after shock, anger, and bewilderment.

Subsequently, the eldest prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince were crowned as county kings, and the other princes were national or county princes. In addition to the eldest prince, the other princes looked displeased, especially the eighth prince, the ninth prince and the fourteenth prince, thinking that at least a prince should be hereditary and replaceable, and he hastily sealed a county king, and the father was really unfair.

However, everyone's incomprehension, non-acceptance or anger still couldn't stop everyone from shouting long live the emperor.

After the end of the proclamation, it is a piece of music, around noon, the end of Daqing, everyone came to the Hall of Eternal Life for dinner, because the Great Qin gathered in the Great Xia Dynasty princes and ministers, harem concubines, imperial relatives, provincial officials, princes and kings, the envoys of the vassal states and the 36 tribe missions of the eastern and western Huijiang grasslands and 99999 elderly people over 80 years old, the number of people reached more than 10,000 people, so this banquet was named Wanshou Banquet.

At the banquet, the Taiping Emperor Liang Shi was very happy, toasted with representatives of people from all walks of life one by one, and paid tribute to the ancestors of the Ming Jun, the deceased heroes and even the former enemies, and finally the Taiping Emperor drank a lot of wine and returned to the palace to rest under the support of the queen Yang Liu and Jia Gonggong. The banquet after that was presided over by the crown prince Liang Kun, and the stammering of everyone and the initiative of the prince Liang Kun himself were indispensable. The eighth prince drank too much at the banquet, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, became drunk, and counted the crown prince Liang Kun in public, and was sent back to rest by the other princes at the signal of Huang Zhong, the prime minister of Zuo. The Nine Emperors were reluctant to attend too many banquets, and Emperor Taiping pretended to be drunk and left while he was still present. After that, the first birthday banquet since the year before ended with a burst of jubilation.
