Chapter 80 Flare
The entire map is made of a whole piece of rhinoceros leather, painted in colorful Western ink, and is wrapped in gold and silver threads. The entire city, mountains, rivers and rivers of the Taisho Dynasty are clearly visible at a glance.
The several small countries around Taisho on the picture were marked with the words "justice", especially the area outside Kanto, which was directly included in Taisho's territory.
Taizu's life was in war, and from a commoner, he became the hero of Weijia, winning the admiration of all people. However, there were two hatreds in his life. One was that the prince Zhu Feng died early, and the foundation of Taisho was shaken. It was just that a person's life was destiny. No matter how powerful Taizu was, there was no way to imagine.
The other thing is that the frontier has not yet stabilized.
The Yue Kingdom in the south of Taisho had long surrendered, and the Dai Kingdom in the north also sent envoys to communicate early, and was originally a vassal screen.
There is no problem with this south and north. However, the Qin State in the west has been martial since ancient times and has been unwilling to bow to Taizu. Instead, it has repeatedly harassed the border of Dazheng and created friction.
There is also Han County in the northeast, which has a strong folk custom and has been constantly rebelling due to the right time and place of Heishan and Baishui.
These two places became Taizu's heart disease. He was determined to fight, but he was old and his elders were old. The young generals were no longer useful, so he had to give up.
He only sent King Luo and King Ji, the two most heroic princes, to guard the western and northeastern borders.
After Liu Ruchang followed Taizu for a long time, he naturally knew his thoughts, so he found someone to make this full map, which was to make Dazheng's faults in the end and comfort Taizu's worries.
Taizu gently stroked the picture with his fingers, stroking the golden silk and silver threads, as if he was walking through the mountains and rivers of Dazheng, and his solemn face was also moved.
"well……"
While stroking, Taizu said, "I am so happy to see the Prime Minister's gift. Tell me, what should I give you?"
"It is your duty to relieve your worries. What's more, the emperor has issued an order to make a complete map of the queen, and it has been a crime to delay it until now. Your Majesty does not punish the queen, it is your Majesty's grace. How dare I take my merits in vain?"
Liu Ruchang quickly bowed his hand and replied. His words were very appropriate, and he was extremely skillful in playing with retreat to advance.
"Besides, the idea of this whole map can be made smoothly is God's intention, but it is just a matter of using the hands of all the ministers. Giving this map to the emperor by false ministers is a sign that the emperor's long-lasting life and my power in the country."
After Liu Ruchang said that, he took the lead in kneeling down. Seeing this, the officials behind him hurriedly leaned on the ground and shouted together.
"I wish the emperor a long life and happiness, and I, Taishen Weijia, is in the country!"
"You old fox are so good at pretending to be good..." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Taizu turned around and returned to the dragon throne. His face seemed calm as usual, but his heart was fluctuating, and he was obviously very excited.
"All the ministers should get up..."
He waved his hand gently, as if he was the hero who was surging with the clouds and winds as he waved his hands.
…………
At this point, everyone finished offering gifts.
As for what Zhu Ping'an said just now, "It's not appropriate to offer gifts before the time comes", everyone just thought he was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously.
However, Chen Buda, the Minister of Rites, came to Anlegong and said a few words openly and implicitly, which made her husband look dirty but had no way to do it.
Liu He also glanced at Zhu Ping'an from time to time with a sarcastic look on his face.
Seeing this, Fu Di, Lan Xian and other small powerful people who had acquaintance with Zhu Ping'an were naturally resentful, but they did not dare to stand up for Zhu Ping'an.
Only Zhu Ping'an was sure and naturally turned a blind eye to it.
"It turns out that I am a beggar, I don't know what shame is. I humiliated you, but I have lost my identity."
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an did not seem to be humiliated at all, and still looked calm, Liu He felt extremely unhappy and said in his heart.
As the rules were followed by the emperor's banquet, leaving all the ministers to drink happily in the palace.
Among today's gifts, there were quite a few items that suited Taizu's wishes. He toasted them with the ministers, and he also drank a few lightly.
Zhu Shouwen was afraid that the emperor's grandfather would be old and could not drink much, so he persuaded him a few words.
Seeing this, the ministers did not dare to respect each other anymore, so they started to drink with each other.
The officials of Liu Ruchang's sect also used the excuse of toasting Anle Gong and laughed at him casually.
At this time, Anle Gong simply gave up. He did not argue or explain whatever they said. He just had to do it when he was drunk. In less than half an hour, he felt five or sixty-six points drunk.
Zhu Ping'an sat aside, not admonishing each other, but just sipped quietly and drank lightly.
Fu Di and Lan obviously saw that he was not in high spirits and thought that he had just been angry with Liu He. He felt depressed and lost the intention of coming to find him to fight for wine.
The young prince Zhu Xin ignored it and drank a few drinks with Zhu Ping'an after that.
At this time, the Taiji Hall was brightly lit, but it was completely dark outside.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Zhu Ping'an, who had been drinking by himself, gently put the wine glass in his hand and stood up.
He walked to the middle of the hall, ignored everyone, bowed to Taizu, and then shouted, "My teacher Zhu Ping'an asked the emperor and grandson to move outside the hall. My father Zhu Zhong has a congratulatory gift to the emperor!"
Zhu Ping'an secretly used his true energy, and the voice was extremely loud. Therefore, although the hall was noisy, everyone could hear it clearly and couldn't help but be stunned.
So they all stopped having a banquet and looked at Zhu Ping'an together.
"My father Zhu Ping'an asked the emperor and grandson to move outside the hall. My father Zhu Zhong has a congratulatory gift to the emperor!"
When Zhu Ping'an saw that the entire hall was quiet, he repeated it again.
"What the hell is this little beggar doing?"
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an really wanted to present a gift, Liu He was a little confused and his face was unstable.
Taizu naturally heard Zhu Ping'an's words clearly and looked at Zhu Shouwen.
"Oh? Xiao Anzi, what are some strange things you have? You still have to go out of the main hall to see?"
Zhu Shouwen was also quite surprised.
However, Zhu Ping'an has brought him a lot of surprises recently, which gave him a premonition. Today, I am afraid that Zhu Ping'an will really have surprises, so he asked with a smile.
"This... I can't explain clearly. When the emperor and His Highness move outside the hall, they will naturally see it."
Zhu Ping'an replied confidently.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's confident look, Liu He became more and more angry, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Is there any other treasure that can beat my father's entire map? Such a mysterious thing is just a clown's behavior, and it's just a humiliation."
However, Liu Ruchang remembered the incident of Tiangou Food Day, and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Grandpa Emperor, why not go and have a look?"
Zhu Shouwen smiled and asked for Taizu's opinions. In fact, he knew very well that the emperor's grandfather had always looked at An Legong differently. Since he had a gift to offer, he would definitely go and see it.
"Look at it..."
As expected, Taizu made a little bit of a sudden and walked down the white jade steps with the help of Zhu Shouwen.
The grandparents and grandsons took the lead, and the ministers followed behind and came outside the hall together.
On the high terrace, looking at the entire Kyoto, the lights in the city seemed a little quiet.
Zhu Ping'an took out a short bamboo tube from his arms and lit the fuse with flint. After a burst of blue smoke, a fire light rushed straight to the quiet night sky of Kyoto. With a loud bang, a gorgeous firework suddenly burst into the sky.
