My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 450: Human Fireworks (Important and the end of this volume)

"To meet the emperor, take off your shoes! Untie your sword!"

The eunuch in round-collared palace attire in front of the palace raised his neck and shouted loudly. His sharp voice reminded the five men, Meng Tong and his son, who were waiting outside the palace. This solemn and solemn feeling had never been seen in the Yue Palace.

With an anxious mind, Meng Tong straightened his robes, carefully took off his clothes, and handed the sword around his waist to the palace guard next to him. Meng Tong nodded to the four sons behind him, then stepped forward and stepped in. into the main hall.

The floor of the main hall is as smooth as a mirror. On both sides are pillars with three people hugging each other. They are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and their feet are on auspicious clouds. Below them are two rows of civil and military officials in uniform, looking back.

In the hundreds of intertwined glances, the five father and son lowered their heads slightly, not daring to breathe. According to etiquette, they came to the imperial steps as surrendered ministers, knelt down and saluted.

Above them, Su Chen smiled, stood up and raised his hands to the five father and son below: "I accept this gift. I also accept the surrender of the Yue Kingdom. From now on, there will be no more Yue Kingdom, and the people of the Yue area will all My Chinese people!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness to the people of Yue Di!"

Over there, the five fathers and sons stood up together. This was the first time for them to see Su Chen. They were as surprised by the emperor's youth as Kang Shengqian and Qi Qingbao were before.

After exchanging a few words, Su Chen sat back on the dragon chair. Zheng He on one side brought a document. On it was a proclamation from the king of Yue to the emperor of Xia, which was to be spread throughout the world.

The above content is simple and clear, without too many complicated and difficult words. Since Meng Tong has already surrendered, there is basically no need to read the above content. He picked up the pen and ink prepared in the tray, signed his name, and then took it out from his arms. A square seal the size of a palm, this is his jade seal.

After stamping the seal, he put the object on the tray together with the pen and ink, and the eunuch named Zheng He took it away.

Such a scene greatly encouraged the civil and military officials in the court. Former Wei ministers such as Long Qiao and Yuan Feng had no such majestic power as when Zhao Chuanting was still there.

"Official affairs are over, it's time to talk about family affairs. Although I am the emperor, I have married Meng Yuyin as Zhaoyi. After all, I am also the son-in-law of the Meng family. My father-in-law is the father-in-law of our Xia Kingdom and should be regarded as a royal relative." Su Chen He glanced at Zheng He who was leaving, turned back and smiled.

Meng Zhaolin and the other four people's faces suddenly showed joy, and their father Meng Tong in front of them quickly handed over his hands: "I am scared."

"What's the need to be afraid? Your father is your father and your family is your family. I say you are the father of the country and you are the father of the country. Don't be submissive." Su Chen's tone was domineering and he could not tolerate rejection. After saying this, he stood up and waved to the civil and military officials in the palace. : "The court is over, I have a family dinner today."

The civil and military officials in the palace resigned and filed out.

When the hall became quiet, Su Chen stood up and waved to the five father and son over there, asking them to follow. Outside Guangyun Hall, a few white clouds were floating in the autumn sky.

The sun was shining through the gaps in the clouds, giving it a slight warmth.

Su Chen walked in front of the five father and son, while Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun followed behind, heading towards the harem together, "Don't worry, Abbot, there are no other concubines in Lu Yang's harem. I only have two women now. The queen is at Yanjing."

"Yes." Meng Tong lowered his head and replied. He was also looking at the scenery of the Central Plains Palace with his peripheral vision. After walking through the Central Palace and entering the back garden, the majestic palace complex gradually disappeared and was replaced by luxurious carvings. In the towering attic, all kinds of exotic flowers and stones serve as decorations and decorate every corner.

"None of this was done by me. It was like this when we entered the Luyang Palace. Unfortunately, many things were destroyed by those soldiers without knowing the severity. Fortunately, some were left for me. "

Su Chen walked forward with a smile and chatted with a few people behind him, but everyone could tell that there was a hint of showing off his illustrious military exploits.

However, Meng Tong and others also laughed apologetically, which was considered to be coping.

"Okay, the front is the Yingzhao Hall. Meng Zhaoyi doesn't know you are coming. I didn't tell them that you were coming to Luyang. You guys, please meet her."

The long palace road extends, reflecting the four courtyards behind the palace. The withered yellow leaves are floating and the sun shines on the corner of the pavilion. Meng Yuyin is sitting in the pavilion, plucking the strings with her slender jade fingers. The palace maid Xiao He has her eyes closed and leans against the pavilion pillars. Listen quietly.

Outside the pavilion, footsteps were approaching. I thought they were eunuchs and palace maids passing by, but I heard a voice: "Yuyin..."

Familiar words interrupted the sound of the piano. Meng Yuyin pressed the trembling strings and looked up, and saw her father and brother standing there, looking at her with a smile.

"Father!"

Meng Yuyin stood up in surprise and ran out of the pavilion. She didn't stop until she was in front of Meng Tong, "Isn't my daughter dreaming...and brothers, why are you here?"

"Stop calling me father and call me father!"

Meng Tong looked at Meng Yuyin, who was becoming more and more beautiful and generous. He smiled and held his daughter's hand, "Your mother is here too, but there are several brothers and sisters-in-law in the post house outside. From now on, father and your brothers, They won’t even leave.”

"Aren't you leaving?" Meng Yuyin looked at her father in surprise, then looked at her second brother and third brother, "What's going on?"

"I abdicated the throne for my father and surrendered to the Xia Kingdom."

"From now on, our family can always be together again. You miss your father and mother, and our brothers can be seen at any time!"

"If it's inconvenient to leave the palace, we will come in to see you, haha!"

Meng Zhaolin and the others looked at their girls' surprised expressions and laughed first, as if Yue Kingdom was gone and they were not sad, but happy.

The girl also laughed, but she cried while laughing.

……

The glow spread, burning the sky red.

In front of the ancestral temple, Su Chen sat under the eaves, looking at the red clouds in the sky. A list of official positions written in his hand was burning up.

He was surrounded by noisy hustle and bustle. Xiang Yu, who was holding a city-breaking halberd, was sitting on a stone bench and looked at Li Xuanba who was beaten with sweat all over his body with a smile. He showed an expression of appreciation and suddenly called out with a clear and gentle word. : "Your Majesty."

The city-breaking halberd he was holding fell to the ground with a clang. Xiang Yu stood up and slowly turned his head to look at the corner of the courtyard. In the smoke, he saw a beautiful figure of Pingting coming, wearing a fiery red robe, embroidered with gold. It has a silver cloud pattern, a fiery red belt around the upper body, and the tassels on the waist are swaying in the wind.

"Yu Ji..." Xiang Yu murmured, then laughed loudly, walked over quickly, held the woman in the smoke in his arms, and spun around in circles.

"I'm so happy!!"

In the noisy ancestral temple and courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at the man and woman hugging each other, and the couple subconsciously held each other's hands.

"What's so good about women? Bone-scraping steel knives." The sweaty Li Xuanba muttered, and then he was slapped on the head. Li Shimin grunted twice, "Ignorant!"

In the open space on one side of the ancestral temple, soup was boiling in the medicine jar.

Liu Xie squatted there and kept selecting medicinal materials. Li Longji on the side was fanning himself and kept looking in. After a while, Liu Xie scooped out a bowl and handed it to him. Li Longji drank it heartily. In an instant, he was like a deflated balloon. Flying all over the sky.

Liu Bei came out of the ancestral temple with a red face, and his eyes became much kinder when he looked at Liu Chan. Not long after he left, Sun Quan, who was bruised and swollen, came over and was laughed at by Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Gou and Li Cunxu who were holding their arms around him. It turned into blue smoke and floated away into the spiritual position. The red clouds gradually set. At the Lu Mansion in the city, the girl waving the crescent halberd occasionally stopped and subconsciously touched her waist. Thinking of the man holding her waist on the chariot that day, her pretty face slowly turned red.

Suddenly hearing a dry cough, Lu Lingqi turned around in embarrassment. However, the embarrassment on her face instantly turned into surprise. She threw the weapon in her hand to the ground, rushed over quickly, and pounced on the figure beside her father.

"mother!"

The girl lay on top of the longing woman and began to sob.

Time passed, and after being granted the title, Meng Tong and his son would leave Luyang and settle down in Fenzhou, north of the Hun River, but Su Chen would also leave with him.

It's time to go back north.

……

The severe cold swept across, and there were no more cicadas chirping on the tawny tree trunks. In the bright winter, Su Chen, wrapped like a cotton ball, staggered across the snow. When he stumbled under his feet, he rolled out ten feet. Eunuch, The maids turned pale with fright.

Under the trees hanging with snow, the two-year-old naughty boy laughed loudly, holding a snowball and throwing it into the distance.

In the corridor not far away, Fang Xuejun was holding the railing with one hand, looking at the snow in the courtyard and his son playing with the eunuchs, in a daze.

My husband was already on his way back. Thinking about it, the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

A wisp of snow fell from the treetops, and she raised her head slightly, interrupting her thoughts. She raised her head, but she didn't know how long it would take to reach Yanjing.

In the yard ahead, the furry-ball-like son came bounding over, looking up at his mother through the guardrail, and then looked with her at the snow-covered tree branches in front of them, tilting his head and not understanding what was so good about this. .

Then we continued to have fun.

The south has been stabilized. In Shengkang City, Zhang Liao led the victorious army back. He got off his horse and walked into the government office. In the court hall, Guan Yu put down his scroll, got up and strode over to greet him.

The two looked at the map, clicked on Minggang in tacit agreement, looked at each other, caressed their beards and laughed.

Fifty miles away from Shengkang, under the gloomy sky, an old man named Du Yichu carried a dark ancient sword and met another old man. The two chatted for a while, gave each other a book, and then left for Minggang to find out if they were there. A sea-going ship to overseas islands.

The endless blue sea appeared in his field of vision.

The waves were ups and downs, the sea wind was blowing the sails, and above the ocean, the sea surface broke, and a huge whale stretched out its huge body and sprayed out a column of water.

In the direction of the sailing ship, gradually, many uninhabited islands appear. Going further in, islands that look like mainlands stand on the sea. On the offshore sea, countless small boats come and go with sails raised. Go go.

There are also figures with bald heads and thin knives on their waists, dueling fiercely, and further ahead of the dueling figure is a lively market town with low buildings. Men and women in ragged clothes are constantly building various houses, or carrying logs. , stones go to the distance, and a castle named Tenshu is slowly being built, with a fanatical look on everyone's face.

In the distant military port, near the huge military camp, Japanese soldiers and horses carrying bamboo guns came and went in groups. On a large ship that had just been completed, a one-eyed figure stood with his hands clenched, looking at the soldiers training on the deck, with a solemn face. Not angry but mighty.

He is known as the Dragon of Echigo, the God of War - Uesugi Kenshin.

He heard that there was a mainland to the west, and he wanted to go and see it.

The sea breeze blew, and in the military camp behind the military port, an inconspicuous figure stood up in the commander's tent and accepted the worship of many generals in the tent.

The land of Qiliang in the past began to calm down after experiencing sweeping wars. Li Ru walked up to Xinxiang's tower and looked at the once untouchable land of Yizhou, which would be renewed in his hands.

In Xidu, Dong Zhuo lowered his blood-stained butcher knife and kicked the heads of two tribal leaders away. He looked at the remaining people with fierce eyes and raised his fingers.

Several tribal leaders knelt down and accepted the name change proposal.

In the Jinluan Palace of Yanjing, Su Chen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the memorial in his hand, and nodded in agreement. Soon, an imperial edict was issued to form a fleet, with Zheng He as commander, Lu Meng and Gan Ning as generals, and ocean-going trade to check beyond the sea. How many other countries are there.

To the west of Yantang Pass, Su Dingfang walked into the military camp and selected the war horses that had just been sent from the grassland. He would form a troop and go to the seventy-two countries in the Western Regions.

If possible, destroy the country one by one.

To the north, Xiang Yu held Yu Ji in his arms and rode on a big black horse. Under the leadership of the slave general Anuhu, he enjoyed the snowy scenery in the north and took a good look at the scenery that he had never had time to see before.

After all, this world is different. They don't need to fight for anything anymore to make up for the unwillingness in their hearts.

In the northern suburbs of Yanjing, Liu Sheng and Zhang Yu rushed out of the workshop, and a group of craftsmen ran wildly. After a moment, the workshop behind them exploded and a fire broke out. The two of them lay in the snow in disgrace. No one was injured, haha. laugh it out.

On the street with the white roofs, Lu Lingqi took her mother Yan's arm and introduced everything on the street to her mother. From time to time, she bought some New Year's goods, rouge, gouache, and cloth, and then handed them to the general Lu Bu to carry them. Yan turned around After looking at his husband, Lu Bu also looked at his wife, with a smile on his face.

After losing it, he realized what was precious, and now it has come back again.

On the bustling street, I also met Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. They were also carrying large and small New Year's goods in their hands. Ma Yunlu was walking in front with his hands behind his back and was in a happy mood.

Then the two families joined together and walked through the market talking and laughing.

Perhaps he heard the voices of two families. On the second floor of a wine shop on the street, the curtains were opened, and a drunk Li Bai poked his head out to look around. His face was covered with rouge red lip marks. Before he could find the source of the sound, he was also struck by the same voice. Guo Jia, whose face was full of lip prints, pulled back and then closed the window sash.

The two of them continued to huddle among the women, drinking and having fun.

On the grassland, the snow is deep, but it cannot stop the galloping horses. The red feathers are stroking, the red cloak is flying, Huo Qubing and Yu Lin ride on the vast snow, leaving a long trace.

Soon, he handed over errands to Ge Shuhan. He will be stationed here next year, but for him, coming to the grassland is like going home.

In the Yanjing Palace, the children's laughter resounded through the courtyard. Su Chen sat on Su Chen's shoulders and was led around the courtyard wildly. Then his head was scraped against a branch, snow fell, and both father and son were piled into snowmen.

The view reaches the sky.

The white earth has some light spots left by countless lives, which are the unique fireworks of the world.
