East Factory Governor

Chapter 824 The Finale
Qin Shuhuai was happy, and accompanied by the fat boss, he bottomed out the second bottle of Moutai again.

Speaking of which, he doesn't have any martial arts in him now, so he will naturally get drunk after drinking a lot of wine.

The fat boss is also a smart person. Without a word, he offered Qin Shuhuai a room in a five-star hotel nearby, and then personally helped him in before leaving.

This time, I don't know how long I slept.

until someone called him.

"Husband, wake up, husband, it's time to get up."

Qin Shuhuai opened his eyes, and then froze again.

In front of him was the familiar carved mahogany bed, antique furniture, and Chen Qing'er who had already dressed up.

All of this made Qin Shuhuai feel very cordial suddenly.

Feeling lucky for no reason.

He is glad that he can come back.

Although life in later generations is extremely beautiful, for some reason, he still wants to come back.

Perhaps, he felt that he needed a formal farewell to this world.

Qin Shuhuai looked out the window, the sky was still dark, and the room was also lit with oil lamps.

Chen Qing'er was also very formally dressed today, in addition to wearing the second-rank Mrs. Gaoming's Xiapei, she also put on delicate makeup.

Can't help but say, "Wake up so early... what time is it?"

Chen Qing'er came up to lift his quilt with a smile, and said with a light smile, "Husband, you are sleepless! Today is the Grand Ceremony of All Nations. According to the ritual system, you have to sacrifice to heaven first, so you have to go with the emperor!"

It was only then that Qin Shuhuai remembered that the minister of the Ministry of Rites seemed to have mentioned such a thing when talking about the process yesterday, as if he said that the time for offering sacrifices to heaven was seven quarters before dawn, so it was probably around three or four o'clock.

In this way, he must have entered the palace earlier than this.

"Get up quickly, if you are late, the emperor will be in a hurry with you again, if not, he will come to quarrel with you in person." Chen Qing'er urged again with a smile.

Because Chongzhen always came, Chen Qing'er knew his temper well now.

Qin Shuhuai also smiled, Chen Qing'er was telling the truth, so she hurriedly got up and changed her clothes.

Today he no longer wears casual clothes, but puts on the gold-rimmed boa robe given by the emperor, black gauze with wings on his head, and gold-rimmed black-soled official boots.

Chen Qing'er straightened Qin Shuhuai's clothes while chuckling, "Your husband really looks like a high-ranking official in this suit."

Qin Shuhuai pinched Chen Qing'er's chin lightly, and said with a smile, "Why, master, I don't look like I used to?"

"It's not! It's like an idle little rogue who bullies others all day long!"

"I can still bully you in this outfit." Qin Shuhuai said, stretching out his hand to scratch Chen Qing'er's waist.

Chen Qing'er ran away with a smile, "Stop making trouble, husband, hurry up and go out!"

Qin Shuhuai went out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he found that Qiu Dali and Lai San'er had just arrived at the door of the Duke's Mansion in a carriage.

Seeing Qin Shuhuai, Qiu Dali went up and patted him on the back with a happy face, and said approvingly, "Not bad, you look good! Haha, I thought you were going to sleep late again, kid, and wanted to lift your bed!"

Qin Shuhuai saw that the two were also dressed formally, so he said, "Master, Lai San'er, you two?"

Qiu Dali kicked Qin Shuhuai lightly in dissatisfaction, and scolded with a smile, "Why, you can go to sacrifice to heaven, but I can't go, master?"

Lai San'er also smiled and said, "That's right. Chief, I'm also the Ding Beibo appointed by the imperial court, and Vice Chief Qiu is also a dignified Uncle Xiangyong. Don't underestimate us, hehe."

It turned out that Qiu Dali and Lai San'er were notified last night that they were asked to attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven today.

Qin Shuhuai understood that this decision must have been made temporarily by Chongzhen. It is conceivable that apart from Qiu Dali and Lai San'er, including the leaders of the Wulin coalition army, other meritorious ministers must have been invited. Chongzhen wanted to use this method , Slowly gather people's hearts.

He is also smart.

Qin Shuhuai was kicked by Qiu Dali, so naturally he had no way to fight back, but Lai San'er's haughty words just gave him a reason, so he returned the kick to him.

"Boom! Let's go!"

Lai San'er patted his buttocks with a smile, then came to Qin Shuhuai's carriage, and drove the coachman of the Duke's Mansion off.

"Hey, Uncle Lai, this is..." The coachman looked confused.

Lai San'er said with a stern face, "Go, go, you didn't know where you were when I was driving the carriage for the Duke."

In the past, he worked night watch and drove horses for Qin Shuhuai, and he was familiar with this job, but now that there are fewer such opportunities, he can only see stitches.

It's not that he loves driving carriages, but that as long as he does this, he can vaguely find the feeling he had when he was born and died with Qin Shuhuai.

He likes that feeling.

Qiu Dali also laughed, "Yes, Uncle Lai is driving the carriage, so I want to take a ride too."

Saying that, he left his own carriage and unceremoniously got into Qin Shuhuai's carriage.

Qin Shuhuai smiled helplessly, waved his hand to signal the coachman to go back and have a rest, and then got into the carriage.

Satisfied, Lai San'er waved his whip, and shouted in a long voice, "Got it~~~drive!"

On the carriage, Qiu Dali sat face to face with Gu Yun, but did not speak, but leaned beside the oil lamp, staring at the densely packed words on a piece of paper, with a serious expression on his face.

"Master, what are you looking at right now?" Qin Shuhuai asked.

Qiu Dali said, "The ceremonial regulations for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven! I didn't have time to read it carefully last night, so I have to take a good look at it now. Otherwise, other than the fault, others won't laugh that our Jianghe gang is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?"

As he said that, he said to himself again, "Can't you even cough when you worship the heavens? Tsk, if that thing really comes, you won't be able to hold back!"

"The text is on the left and the military is on the right. We belong to the martial arts, right? I just don't know who is in the front row? Is there anyone to talk about it then?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Don't look at it, when you get there, someone will talk about it. By the way, I heard that Master, you plan to marry a teacher's wife? Haha, you didn't tell your apprentice about this, really... ..."

As soon as Qiu Dali heard this, he hurriedly went up to cover Qin Shuhuai's mouth, and then Gu Yun saw Qiu Dali who was squirming for the first time in his life.

"Huh, what are you talking about!"

"Really not?"

"Cough...the horoscope is not left! Besides, Master, I am also in my thirties...You boy, I don't know how to be considerate!"

"Ha ha!"

Speaking of which, a while ago Qiu Dali was also awarded by Chongzhen because of his relationship with Master Qin Shuhuai.

Apart from being in full charge of the Jianghe Gang, Qiu Dali is now at home tending flowers and plants with peace of mind.It was Lai San'er who told Gu Yun about Qiu Dali's dead wood and spring. It is said that someone saw with his own eyes that the matchmaker who had been a matchmaker to both Qin Shuhuai and Lai San'er had been in and out of Qiu Dali's uncle's mansion several times recently, presumably to help him arrange marriages.

Qin Shuhuai was still very happy that Qiu Dali had this idea, and Qin Shuhuai was less concerned about having someone who knows the cold and the hot by his side.

After a while, the carriage arrived outside the Forbidden City.

Qin Shuhuai bid farewell to Qiu Dali and Lai San'er temporarily, he was going to the Imperial Study Room first, while Qiu Dali and Lai San'er were going to the designated place and so on.

Entering the Imperial Study Room, he found that Chongzhen was already there in a new dress.

"Brother Qin, it's rare for you to be so punctual today." Chongzhen sized up Gu Yun with a smile, and then said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, wearing a boa robe, you have the humerus of the court and the appearance of a peerless national scholar!"

Today's Chongzhen is very excited, his face is filled with a happy expression.

Qin Shuhuai also complimented, "The emperor looks radiant today, and he looks really handsome. If he was in the public, he might fascinate thousands of young girls."

Having been together for such a long time, Chongzhen and Qin Shuhuai naturally knew what "handsome" meant, and continued, "That's natural. In terms of handsome appearance, I'm still confident that I can beat Brother Qin."

"That's it, that's it, haha!" Qin Shuhuai laughed.

At this time, I only heard a melodious bell ringing outside the window, it was Taihe bell ringing.

After the bell rang, Wang Dehua walked in immediately and said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and drive the Circular Mound Altar."

Chongzhen pulled Qin Shuhuai who was still eating cakes, and said, "Let's go, I'll still eat. I'll have breakfast for you after the sacrifice."

Qin Shuhuai hurriedly stuffed a piece of shortbread into his mouth, and then followed Chongzhen out.

Outside the hall, guards of honor in brocade clothes had already been set up, but this time there was no dragon, because the emperor had to walk to the Circular Mound Altar when offering sacrifices to heaven.

The Circular Mound Altar was first built in the Jiajing period and is located on the south side of the later Temple of Heaven. It should be said that the Temple of Heaven was formed after the continuous expansion of the Circular Mound Altar.

A group of people can be described as mighty, and the front line is naturally the Jin Yiwei who clears the way and protects, followed by a row of big Han generals in the inner palace, and then Chongzhen.

Beside Chongzhen, on the left and right are Qin Shuhuai and Sun Chengzong, and behind him are the princes and important relatives of the emperor in Beijing.

Behind them are Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng and other important cabinet ministers.

After the cabinet, there will be chief officials of various ministries and Beijing officials above the second rank.

Different from usual, this year besides these, there are also many martial arts figures. These people usually have titles or empty positions. Needless to say, Lai San'er and Qiu Dali, this time Zhiren from Shaolin, Chang Wuji from Wudang, Emei The newly appointed Master Zhishui, Kunlun's Zhang Taicheng, etc. were all among the invitees, and they also gave the court enough face, as long as Chongzhen sent a post to invite them, they would all arrive in person.

Face is something that is really given to each other. In the past, the two sides were in the same situation and no one was a bird. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Yes, and I am very grateful.

In the final analysis, no matter which world it is, the emperor is naturally respected. After all, in traditional culture, he is the lord of the world, not to mention that the emperor Chongzhen is now so convincing.

It's a pity that the head of Shaolin, Zhiyuan Shengseng, was supposed to come as a national teacher, but unfortunately there was a little problem during the retreat.No one knows what the "little problem" he encountered is, but there are rumors in the world that Zhiyuan may be about to usher in the consummation of the Dacheng Realm.

This is the biggest thing in the Central Plains martial arts at the moment. You must know that no one in the martial arts has reached the Dacheng state for at least 300 years. If Zhiyuan can achieve it, it will definitely be a groundbreaking event.

Just like the scientists in the previous life explored cutting-edge technology, Zhiyuan is also exploring the top mysteries of the secret realm of martial arts. People even hope that one day he can break through the Dacheng Realm and enter the Void Realm to see where the limit of martial arts or human energy is. ——Although this sounds a bit mysterious, because the Void Realm has always been just a legend.

Thinking of Zhiyuan, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but think of Su Daha who died under his sword that day.

With Su Daha's cultivation base, Qin Shuhuai can basically confirm that he has at least reached the Dacheng Realm.

It's a pity that such a character is rarely known in the Central Plains martial arts nowadays. Even if people know it, they mostly know it from the storyteller. expert".

Only Qin Shuhuai knew that the self that day was actually defeated by him.

It's a pity that Ninggu Pagoda is too far away, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to worship him in this life.

The large group of people walked quietly, no one spoke, no one even coughed.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally arrived at the Circular Mound Altar.

At this time, the burnt calf in the southeast of the Circular Mound Altar, the sky lantern hanging in the southwest, misty clouds, and red candle shadows give people a very mysterious feeling.
The procedure of offering sacrifices is divided into welcoming the emperor god, laying jade and silk, entering the zu, presenting gifts at the beginning of the trip, presenting gifts at the end of the trip, presenting gifts at the end of the trip, withdrawing food, sending the emperor to the gods, and watching fire, which are cumbersome and grand.

But Chongzhen was meticulous, solemn and awe-inspiring.

He really wants to thank God.

Somehow he had an intuition that if it wasn't for the blessing of heaven, his ending might be different.

The most direct evidence is that the purple light suddenly appeared in the Forbidden City eight years ago, and then the invincible and omnipotent national scholar Qin Shuhuai appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Did Chongzhen doubt Qin Shuhuai's origin?
certainly!Anyone with a sane mind would feel that Qin Shuhuai's strength has exceeded the limit of human beings, so it is normal for people to say that he is the "Wu Qu Xing" descended to earth.

Chongzhen sometimes wondered whether Qin Shuhuai was really sent by heaven to save him.

At first he was eager to know the answer, but then he was relieved.

Is this question really that important?
If he was really sent by the heavens, then it means that the heavens recognized the Ming Dynasty, isn't that enough?
If he was really sent by heaven, then he would be worthy of God's love if he worked diligently and cared for the people and created a peaceful and prosperous world.

Taking a step back, if he wasn't sent by the heavens, then would he be an arrogant, extravagant and licentious emperor?That is impossible.

So, the question doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is that I have such a unparalleled national scholar, so I should do my best to create a great career that will last forever!

After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, the sky was already bright, and everyone returned to the palace with Chongzhen, and they were given breakfast.

Chongzhen and Qin Shuhuai had breakfast together, and after a short rest, it was time.

At this time, the outside of Chengtian Gate was crowded with people and banners.

The Ceremony of All Nations was held here.

Jinyiwei and Yumajian teamed up with the martial arts allied forces to enclose an area about 200 meters long and wide with a human wall.In the center of the area, there is a platform with a height of one meter and a length and width of about five meters. It is covered with a red carpet. This is the officiant platform.

A golden dragon chair throne has been prepared on the stage, and on the left and right sides of the dragon chair are two sandalwood grand master chairs, which are obviously used by the most important people around the emperor.

On both sides of the table, there are also some wooden chairs, which are the seats of important ministers.

It's a sunny day, a beautiful day in autumn.

Outside the human wall, there is a crowd that can't be seen at a glance. Those officials in charge of defense estimated that at least 10 people will participate in this grand ceremony.

Most of these [-] people are residents of the capital, but many of them came from other places. It is said that the furthest one came from Qiongzhou. They walked for several months just to see Wan Guo. Ceremony!
How spectacular it is for 10 people to gather together!
Not only was the open space full of people, many even climbed onto the trees. Li Daliang, who was in charge of the on-site defense work, felt something was wrong when he saw it, and immediately sent his men to drive those people down.

In his eyes, even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility of threatening Chongzhen and the ministers, he cannot tolerate it.

But you can control the trees that are closer, but you can’t control the ones that are farther away, right?

Many trees a few hundred meters away from the location of the ceremony were still full of people, and it was impossible to catch up.

Li Daliang had no choice but to clash with the common people at this time, and the memorial to impeach him would be like snowflakes. In the end, he had to let the people from Dongchang go up, hang a few names on a tree, and stare at the tree all the time. To prevent those people from sneak attacking with hidden weapons, bows and arrows, etc.

Of course, the probability of this is almost zero. You must know that there are people everywhere at the scene. If anyone dares to take out a bow and arrow on the tree at this moment, the people present will drag him down and peel him alive without waiting for the officers and soldiers to take action!
Just kidding, where can such a good emperor be found after being assassinated?
Up to now, whoever kills the emperor is almost the same as killing his parents in the eyes of ordinary people!
At three o'clock, the bells and drums in the Forbidden City rang together.

Behind the majestic Jinyiwei guard of honor, Chongzhen sat on Long Yue and slowly came out from Chengtian Gate.

In the square, without anyone commanding, all the people knelt down together.

Someone opened his throat first and shouted, "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Immediately afterwards, the voice stirred up in the crowd like ripples.

Countless people shouted along.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

At first, because of the large number of people, it was not very neat.

But after shouting a few times, the voice became tidy.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

The 10 people shouted in unison, causing the air to tremble and move with joy!

The roar is deafening, straight into the sky, its momentum is as majestic as a mountain, as the sea, as devastating as an incomparable tsunami!
Thousands of representatives of foreign missions present at the scene heard the shocking shout, and all of them showed shock on their faces.

They know that this is a cry from the heart.

They knew better that this was a waking roar from a powerful, huge, and ancient empire.

This empire has abundant resources, advanced civilization, loyal and powerful army, rich and prosperous cities, and [-] million self-confident and united subjects.

This empire was destined to be invincible—at least for the foreseeable period, absolutely invincible.

They were glad they had come the right way.

Anyone who is an enemy of such an empire will end badly.

Friends, everyone needs such friends, even if they cannot be friends, they must not be enemies.

At this time, Chongzhen, listening to the shouts like a tsunami, the hottest flame buried deep in his heart was instantly ignited, and then burned his blood and every nerve of him like wildfire!
As the emperor, he often hears people yelling long live in front of him, some yelling absent-mindedly, some yelling blankly, and of course some crying, but that's just because he is on the throne, Everyone's routine out of courtesy.

But today is different, he feels very clearly that the "Long live" shouted by the people today is completely and absolutely different from the "Long live" shouted to him by the courtiers in the past.

Listen, that's what the people shouted from the bottom of their hearts, that's why they can be so majestic and overwhelming!

As the emperor, what greater reward and honor is there?

I, Chongzhen, was ordered by heaven and supported by all people!I am Ming, at this moment the world is in harmony, and all nations come to court!
Is this not a sign of prosperity?
This is the prosperous age!
This is the prosperous age that I want, this is the prosperous age that all people want, this is the prosperous age that our ancestors have been striving for!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qin Shuhuai again.

This is also the golden age that I and Brother Qin agreed on that day!

I did it!
Brother Qin, he did it too!
Of course, I still want to do better!
I want to create a prosperous age that has no predecessors before and no one to come after.

Qin Shuhuai's blood was also boiling at this moment.

This is the world he wants, and all the efforts at this moment have been fulfilled.

Except for the two of them, the rest of the accompanying people were also full of energy and blood.

Sun Chengzong, who has always been mature and prudent, was already in tears. This veteran of several dynasties may be the one who understands how hard it all is, except for Chongzhen.

Li Jingting, Meng Wei, Meng Hu and others in the back line all had tears in their eyes, these tough guys, even Wan Juncong would not frown, but at this moment, they just want to cry loudly.

They have seen the prosperity.

And those brothers who fought together will never be seen again.

For this moment, how many tough and good men are buried in the ground forever?

……

Chongzhen got off the dragon and walked up to the ceremony stage step by step.

Behind him, apart from the eunuch supporting the dragon, there were only Qin Shuhuai and Sun Chengzong.

Standing on the stage, Chongzhen glanced at the boundless sea of ​​people, and glanced at faces of anticipation, joy, and enthusiasm.

Those are my people!

Chongzhen looked directly opposite again, those high-ranking officials standing, most of those high-ranking officials were new faces who had been in office for less than a year, but Chongzhen could see the eagerness to make contributions in their eyes.

Very good, those are my arms!

Further to the left and right, Chongzhen saw those foreigners with different skin colors, pupils, and hair. They all had expressions of surprise, reverence, or even awe. They either bent down or knelt down to express their deep respect for him. .

Very good, those... Brother Qin said, those should be called Youbang?

I think it is more appropriate to call them "subjects".Brother Qin himself said it back then, where the power of tomorrow lies, the kingdom of disobedience will be exhausted!

I don't ask them to pay tribute every year, and I can even give them many conveniences for future trade, but I ask them to treat my Ming people with the courtesy of the country, isn't this too much to ask?
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, while Qin Shuhuai and Sun Chengzong sat on the Taishi chairs on his left and right.

At this time, the Minister of Rites came to the stage, opened the imperial decree, and read:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: 'Since I ascended the throne, I have always mourned the suffering of the people in the world, and also joy in the joy of the people in the world. , I examine myself three times a day, and dare not forget at night. Thanks to God’s protection, my ancestors are virtuous. Today, my Ming Dynasty will stop chaos and bring order, and the world will be peaceful. However, the people in the world are not only my Daming ears, but the world ears of the universe...'”

This imperial decree is very long, and the original version written by the old pedants was in awkward classical Chinese, which was extremely difficult to understand. In view of the large number of people present today, in order for the common people to understand, Chongzhen decreed to write this simple and easy-to-understand version. "Vernacular" version.

The main idea is naturally to praise Chongzhen for caring about the sufferings of the people, and then praise the current peaceful and prosperous age, and finally change the subject and turn to look at the world, showing the open mind of Daming. You can rest assured in your life, as long as you abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will protect you.

In fact, the Wanbang Grand Ceremony, on the one hand, is of course that Chongzhen wants to promote the country's prestige, but on the other hand, it is also a press conference, which is equivalent to announcing Ming's "reform" and "opening up" policies to the world.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Qin Shuhuai's guidance, and it is also inseparable from the background that the customs revenue has been increasing steadily in recent years and has become a stable growth source with huge potential for the empire.

After the imperial decree was read, the common people knelt down and shouted long live.

And the happiest ones are those Gentiles.

This imperial decree can be regarded as a reassurance for them, because the imperial decree clarifies their right to trade at any time, and even vaguely mentions that Daming will provide them with convenience in "living"—that is, they It is possible to have the right to live forever in this prosperous and beautiful Eastern Empire!

Especially the eyes of many foreigners who had inquired about housing prices here a few days ago, even excitedly followed the common people and shouted "Long live the emperor" in blunt Chinese!
After the imperial decree was read, according to Qin Shuhuai's understanding, it should be the time for the envoys of various countries to submit their credentials and perform their national ceremonies.

However, no.

At this time, the servant of the Ministry of Rites sneaked up to him and whispered to him, "My lord, please move down the stage."

Qin Shuhuai frowned, and looked at him inexplicably, "Huh?"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites smiled mysteriously, "It's a good thing, a very good thing, please come with me, my lord."

Qin Shuhuai got up and followed him down the stage, and then stood in the front position directly under the stage.

The Minister of Rites immediately said to Qin Shuhuai, "An Guogong Qin Shuhuai accepts the order!"

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Excellency, accept the order!"

Looking up, he found that Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair with a serious face, and walked to the front of the stage. It seemed that he wanted to read this imperial edict himself.

The Minister of Rites handed the imperial decree to Chongzhen with both hands.

Chongzhen opened the imperial decree, and then Lang Sheng read.

"First-class Anguo Gong Qin Shuhuai, the reliance of the Ming Dynasty, and my unparalleled national scholar! Since he entered the official position, he has spent all his time in the public office, devoted himself to worrying about it, put honor and disgrace in the high cabinet, abandoned life and death on the battlefield, turned the tide from the collapse, and helped the building to collapse. The talent of helping the world can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the world can learn from the heart of loyalty. He can be a model for civil servants and military generals in ancient and modern times! From the first time I saw him, he treated me as a brother, and I treated him as a brother. This is known to all the world!"

Speaking of this, Chongzhen took a look at Qin Shuhuai, and it happened that Qin Shuhuai also took a look at him.

The eyes of the two met, and there was a smile that was not easy to detect by others.

Chongzhen said again, "I have an appointment with Brother Qin, Brother Qin will not fail me, and I will never fail Brother Qin..."

The Minister of Rites, who was in charge of rituals, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, hey, why didn't the emperor recite according to the prepared imperial decree!

There is no such paragraph in the imperial decree, and as the emperor, it is fine for Chongzhen to say these things in private with Gu Yun, but how can he say this in front of his subjects?

It doesn't match the identity, it doesn't match the etiquette system!
The more Chongzhen talked, the more excited he became, and he seemed to see the scene of him and Qin Shuhuai in the Liushi Academy on a sunny afternoon in Liushi Academy, where they were excited about writing.

He also saw, in those dark and tormenting moments, when he opened the Tang newspaper Qin Shuhuai sent, it seemed that a ray of light immediately penetrated into the room.

Also, when he was hesitant, hesitant, and even fearful... the change of himself, the riots of the Demon Cult, the chaos on the three sides, the second time the Hou Jin crossed the wall, and even Donglin's rebellion. He would break out in a cold sweat, but every time, Qin Shuhuai would always tell him firmly that he could win!
And he did it too.

Chongzhen has been completely out of script.

Sometimes he speaks generously, sometimes in a low voice, and he doesn't even know how long he's been talking, he just knows that he said what he wanted to say.

Finally, he finished what he wanted to say.

After a pause, he got to the core of the imperial edict.

"The friendship between monarchs and ministers, brotherhood, loyalty and courage are not to be commended in gold, silver, jade and silk! I granted Qin Shuhuai the title of King of Yan, the same rank as the prince, and hereditary will not replace him!"

"Coax~~"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience shook!

Chongzhen's words made Qin Shuhuai a king with a different surname!

This matter is no small matter, it is equivalent to breaking two exceptions.

First, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although a king with a different surname was conferred, even the Mongols did it first, as the loyal and brave king, but that was purely in name, and there was no fiefdom at all. Discounted surname Wang.

Second, Qin Shuhuai's title is actually the King of Yan. One must know that the land of Yan is where the Forbidden City is located. Ever since the Ming Dynasty established its capital here, there has been no King of Yan at all.

In fact, Chongzhen and the people from the Ministry of Rites quarreled several times over this matter.

According to Qin Shuhuai's contribution, it is not an exaggeration to confer the title of king with a different surname, and now the whole world knows that Qin Shuhuai and Chongzhen have always been considered brothers. The Ministry of Rites also recognized this point.

But the problem is, how can Qin Shuhuai's fief be tied to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

There is no precedent!
But Chongzhen had his own ideas.

Want him to crown Qin Shuhuai king, and then seal him thousands of miles away?Chongzhen will not do it!

What a joke, he is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is a bit lazy and doesn't go to the court several times a month, he can still find him in critical moments, and he can discuss things with him, so he feels at ease.

What if he was allowed to run thousands of miles away and enjoy his singing and dancing from now on?
He is so beautiful!
I haven't reached the time to enjoy the blessings yet, and he still wants to relax?

Whatever you say, you have to keep him in the capital, at least you can see people from time to time, so you can feel at ease, right?

From Chongzhen's eyes, Qin Shuhuai saw many things, not only trust and gratitude, but also true brotherhood.

He really dares to confer the title, to confer another king in the imperial capital?

This is what he said to himself that day, is he going to give himself a big gift?

All of a sudden, bits and pieces of these years flashed before his eyes, and thinking that he would leave here eventually, Qin Shuhuai choked up again.

"My lord, Qin Shuhuai, thank you, Your Majesty! May the prosperity of this country last forever, and may my emperor be healthy and happy, and live a long and prosperous life."

Qin Shuhuai made a solemn obeisance, and this obeisance was probably his farewell to "Brother Huang".

……

Next, there is the procedure for Wanbang to submit the letter of credence and the national gift.

But Qin Shuhuai was already absent-minded.

At this moment, the system beeped again.

"Congratulations to the host, the main task is completed, and at midnight tonight, the space-time channel will be opened to send the host back to the original time and space."

Qin Shuhuai was silent for a long time, and asked the system, "After I go back, will I never come back again?"

"Nonsense, do you think it's a joke to wear it around?" The system replied, "Okay, wouldn't it be nice to go back to the original time and space and pretend to force it? Wouldn't it be great if you and I join forces and fight again?"

"System, what is your background, can you tell me now?"

"Me? Me... You don't understand even if I tell you. Let's put it this way, you people on Earth need to grow up and learn knowledge constantly, right? I am the same, so just treat me as some type of intelligent creature." , my growth is closely related to the growth of the bound host."

"Do you have many of the same kind? That's why so many people travel through time?" Qin Shuhuai couldn't help asking.

"Of course. It's just that time and space are infinite. In your time and space, at most one or two can be selected. You are the lucky one! Of course, there are naturally infinite people like you in the infinite time and space. pick."

"Is that so..."
