It was May, and spring was coming to an end. In Zhujin City, the Taiye Pool in the Great Ming Palace, which was filled with blooming lotus flowers, announced the arrival of summer.
In the Jiaofang Palace, everyone held their breath. Even the supreme emperor and empress of the federation did not say a word. Everyone watched as the little prince slowly walked toward a low table. On the table was a collection of the Analects of Confucius, a set of brush and ink, a gold ingot, and a seal.
That's right, the little prince was already one year old. According to the tradition passed down since ancient times in the Federation, it was time for the prince to draw lots. This was a big event in ancient times. Of course, after entering modern times, this habit had faded a lot. However, as an activity for a baby's first birthday, it was not bad for the family to have fun together!
The little prince climbed onto the low table and started to fumble around with the things on the table. In the eyes of a child, these things were not fun to play with and could not be eaten. He picked up the Analects of Confucius while making inarticulate sounds.
Seeing Liu Yu pick up the book, the Empress immediately said happily,"Ah, it seems that my Yu 'er will become a knowledgeable scholar in the future!”
Tian Zi smiled." It's too early for Wan 'er to come to a conclusion. This little guy won't stop so soon."”
As soon as Tian Zi finished speaking, the mischievous little prince on the table grabbed a brush and started scribbling on the book. The little prince's actions immediately caused the surrounding palace maids to laugh. The Empress helplessly picked up the mischievous Liu Yu and said to Liu Hong with a bitter smile,"Looks like my son wants to be a painter!”
Tian Zi smiled as he took Liu Yu from the Empress. The little girl was wriggling around restlessly as if she was very dissatisfied with the interruption of his " painting." The little prince, who was moving around, suddenly noticed a brocade bag hanging on the emperor's waist and reached out to grab it. When the little prince took out the item from the brocade bag, everyone immediately stopped laughing and looked at the item in surprise.
It was the Emperor's token that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Great Han Federation since the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It was the imperial seal that represented the supreme imperial power. It was carved by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, on the order of the First Emperor. It was four inches in circumference and had five dragons on it. The front side was engraved with eight seal characters written by Li Si,"Ordered by Heaven, Longevity is Eternal". It was used as a token of "Imperial Power is bestowed by Heaven, Orthodox and Lawful".
Seeing Liu Yu holding the token of the Federation's Son of Heaven in his hand, Liu Hong was overjoyed. This was his true son, the future True Dragon Son of Heaven of the Federation. "Your Majesty, our Yu 'er will definitely become a qualified monarch in the future and will not disappoint you," the empress beside him said with relief.”
" Yes, I also believe that I will hire the best teachers in the Federation and provide the best education to make my son the greatest monarch in the history of the Federation.”Liu Hong lifted Liu Yu up. At this moment, it was as if he was announcing to the whole world.
SH, the Federation's gold trade center was also a window to the outside world. A cruise ship was sailing along the Yangtze River. Xiao Yihan looked at the tall buildings on both sides of the Yangtze River. He sighed,"I'm finally back. As expected, the scenery at home is still pleasing to the eye."”
"That's right, that's right. Of course, our Celestial Empire is not comparable to those barbarians. "However, I've really benefited a lot from going abroad this time. I've earned a lot of money just from the allowance. I heard that the Bureau of Military Affairs is going to hold an honor ceremony for us this time. Everyone can be promoted. " Besides, hehe…" Yang Tianyou laughed.
Looking at this bastard, Xiao Yihan couldn't help but get angry. Why did he make such a bad friend? That day at Bran Harbor, Xiao Yihan wanted to strangle this kid to death. This kid and the other members kept it from him and secretly told their lover about the location of the embassy. In the end, these foreign girls came to him collectively. In the end, he could only let the ambassador report this matter to the Chinese embassy. In the end, the embassy only asked if their ship was big enough?
Of course, it was big. A cruise ship that weighed tens of thousands of tons could fit tens of thousands of people. However, the embassy said that since people could fit it, they could do as they pleased. Alright then! Yang Tianyou, who was overjoyed after hearing the news, hugged the two girls and told them the good news. The crowd cheered. However, Mr. Ambassador mercilessly poured cold water on them, saying that the government would not care about their identities, housing, and jobs after they returned to China. They would settle it themselves.
"Hmph, if you want to solve it yourself, then solve it yourself. How can a man put on his pants and not recognize someone? I'm single anyway! It just so happens that their marriage has been resolved together. They even married two people at once. If my mother knew, she would be overjoyed.”Yang Tianyou patted his chest and said to Changjiang.
Thinking of the beautiful scene of two women sharing a husband in the future, Yang Tianyou, who was almost drooling, made Xiao Jinghou want to kick him into the Yangtze River. Just as the two of them were joking around, a delicate cry was heard. Two girls with sexy figures appeared on the deck and were amazed by the buildings on both sides of the river. Yang Tianyou immediately left his friend and ran over. Xiao Jinghou was envious when he saw Yang Tianyou bragging about the girls in each hand. However, when he thought of the tigress at home, he could only stare helplessly and curse Yang Tianyou to be squeezed dry by the foreign horse sooner or later.
Five days later, the Great General, the Grand Marshal, and the Director of the General Office jointly reported to the Emperor about the matter in the East Continent. The Emperor invited the Grand Marshal and the others to meet in the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, the operation in the East Continent ended perfectly. The consultant team has returned safely. At present, a total of 52 people had been sacrificed. Due to the circumstances at that time, most of the bodies of the sacrificed personnel could not be brought back.”General Xiao Jinghou said solemnly.
" They are all heroes of the Federation," Tian Zi said emotionally." The bodies that they bring back must be given a lavish burial. Also, the families of the martyrs must not be neglected.”
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. The Bureau of Military Affairs has already distributed the pension. The Federation will also take care of the children of the martyrs in their studies, jobs, and housing.”The Grand Commandant solemnly said to the Emperor.
"Good, this way we won't disappoint our soldiers. By the way, Director Chen, what is the response of the embassy to the protest of the British Foreign Ministry against the Federation's interference in the affairs of other countries?”
Director Chen bowed to the emperor and said," Your Majesty, the embassy declared that it was just a normal international aid. The Federation also condemned the British government for failing to restrain its soldiers from persecuting civilians in other countries.”
"Haha, what Old Chen said is beautiful. This time, we can make Britain give up the gold completely so that it won't affect my follow-up plans.”
"Yes, but the actions of Britain in the newly occupied land are indeed too much. They are completely exploiting wealth by killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, without caring about the lives of the civilians.”Director Chen said angrily.
" Of course," the marshal said." The British Empire is governed as a colony. Naturally, our attitude toward the allied countries is very different from the Federation's. Moreover, they were barbarians of the same origin as the European Union. No matter how much they flaunted themselves as gentlemen, it was difficult to hide their bandit nature.”
"Grand Marshal's words are penetrating. Old Sir Chen, you don't have to worry about this. The white people in the countries of the Lower East Continent were colonists from the European continent. Now, it was just a dog-eat-dog situation. Compared to our Federation's gentle words to our allies, how could those foreigners understand!”Tian Zi consoled the director.
Director Chen was relieved after hearing this.”
After that, the monarch and his subjects discussed the current strength of the British Empire and the impact it would have on the Federation. However, the Prime Minister was not present at such an important meeting. It was obvious that the Emperor was increasingly dissatisfied with Jia Zhengdao, who was actually a lackey of the eunuchs.
The ancient Great Han Federation was on the eve of a revolution, and a huge political storm was brewing. Just like the current world situation, after Britain completely annexed the East Continent, the temporary peace was like the moment before the storm.
[Note: The Great Han Federation has polygamy, but there are no concubines.] The Federation didn't oppose polygamy, but the premise was that both parties had to agree and couldn't be forced. Furthermore, the wives had equal status and had the right to inherit the husband's family's property.
(Dear readers, if you think that Tranquil Dream is well written, please be magnanimous and give me a few red flowers!) There's another one at noon)
