The five hundred and fortieth chapter [sea alliance six]
When the golden crow suddenly jumped out from under the sea, the world once again completed the transformation from darkness to light; the dark sea surface instantly became rippling blue waves, and the sky was clear and blue, as if it was a girl's heart.
With the sound of a series of conch horns, the flag bearer standing on the boat building danced with the wind and the colorful flags in his hands. Dozens of giant ships sailed from the port of Qi slowly left the port and arranged in a quartz shape on the sea surface. The largest sea ship in the middle was forty feet long and eighteen feet wide. The protruding part of the bow of the boat actually had a hideous dragon head. On the top of the three-story tower, there were thirty-six steps climbing up. The two emperor flags flew in the wind, both yellow-bottomed and red-shaped characters, which were extremely eye-catching. The word "Zhou" was written on one side and the word "Ji" was written on the other side, which was the seat of the emperor's new emperor.
"The emperor came to the court and the emperor's title was first decided. Qin, Qi, Lu, Wei, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Chu princes visited me. I wish my emperor a long life."
The dozen princes below the steps and important officials of various countries bowed together to sing promises. The soldiers on the thirty-six giant ships also shouted loudly, and thousands of voices shouted in the same voice, as if a thunder exploded in the air. The sea surface was slightly shaken, adding many ripples.
"The ancestors of the Ji family are above, and the unfilial son Ji Bian is below. Zhou Shi has suffered repeated disasters and is almost unable to get up. Fortunately, God has mercy on him and has surrendered to all ministers. Zhou Shi has hope of revival! Bian is now the First Emperor!"
Ji Bian, who was sitting upright on the "Son of Heaven's Dragon Boat", is now sentimental like a girl. His body, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was trembling slightly unconsciously. His eyes were red behind the twelve crowns, and liquid of unknown origin was rolling in his eyes. It could fall at any time. Fortunately, his new dragon throne was located at the highest point. Although the imperial crown made according to the "New Emperor's Rite" was generally twelve crowns with the emperor's crowns when they were worshipping God, they were even thicker and longer. The princes at the steps could not see the sad face of the emperor like their children through the beads.
"The princes have finished their worship, please be kind to heaven!"
Dongyang Jun, who temporarily acted as the ritual officer of this alliance, shouted and walked gently to Ji Bian, presented a bright yellow imperial edict with both hands, and lowered his voice and said, "Today is the alliance ceremony, so the priest must not lose his composure."
Ji Bian nodded, looked through the imperial edict as usual, and handed it to the Nei Guan. The Nei Guan cleared his throat and sang loudly: "Ying Tian Shun Shi, I will be ordered by this." At that time, the sea breeze started, and the sounds of the ministers' low voices would be covered by the sea breeze. This Nei Guan is very talented. Standing at the height of the three-story boat, the voice is still extremely clear, but it is not the sound of the true energy of the internal master, but it is obviously a tenor who has been practicing for a long time.
After hearing the two sentences at the beginning of the imperial edict, the princes nodded slightly, guessing that the two sentences must have been written by a certain master. They were much more rigorous than the previous king's orders; but they didn't know that this was basically Bai Dong who came from later generations of imperial edicts, and after China had an emperor. The format of the imperial edict has also undergone many changes. "The emperor's edict said in the imperial edict after the Ming Dynasty, and this may not be suitable for the First Emperor. Bai Dong chose the imperial edict format from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The beginning was "Yingtian was in line with the time of the emperor, and he was in line with the time of the emperor, and he was relatively weakened the role of the emperor, or he was focused on the emperor's response to the time of the emperor and endured the destiny.
"The first time the Zhou Dynasty was in full swing, and the Feng Ming Qi Mountain. King Wen was appointed as a virtuous person. He was appointed as a commander in heaven. He was able to have a way to defeat the untamed. He had been a business for five hundred years. He had a Duke of Zhou, and his rituals and joys were praised. He was a playful man. The Wang family was in trouble. There were chaos in the world. Now the king was ordered to act as an emperor. He was appointed as the emperor for ten thousand years. He had capable ministers in the world and obtained virtuous persons from all over the world. He should practice the king's way and teach the heavens. The princes listened to the title! Qi was located on the sea, but he could open the sea and show his economy. Although there were changes in Qi Qi, his achievements were actually overwhelming. He was bitter and cold. He was able to reconcile the sharp blood, and his capable ministers were outstanding. He had the merits of expanding borders and borders! Now he was granted Qin Qi as the two emperors in the west and east, which was demonstrated in China."
"Everyone in the world knows Bai Dong's contribution. It would be fine if Qin was granted the title of Western Emperor, and Qi was granted the title of Eastern Emperor? This made me feel a little dissatisfied. I don't know what Duke Lu thought?" Looking at the three-clawed dragon robe given by the emperor, the Marquis of Wei curled his lips unconsciously. Among the countries in Shandong, the Zhongshan Kingdom established by the Di tribe in the north were not counted. The princes of all countries will be awarded the title of king this time. However, Wei was a small country and weak, and became a vassal state of Wei, so they were excluded. Naturally, they felt a little resentful and their words were sour.
"How do I think it is important? Look at Duke Wei and others are still smiling. China is a throne, and the throne is just a false reputation. What's more, the 'Sage' can make it clear that Qin and Qi have both achieved the goal of expanding borders to be named emperors. Qin defeated the powerful Persian Empire in the West, and Qi has steadily held the coast. There are endless opportunities in the future. What's more, everyone knows that this time the title of the two emperors of the East and West was driven by Baizi. The Bai family trading company has a huge impact. Even the General Office of the China Banking Industry Corporation has to take revenge. Who dares to offend? Well, OK, the Marquis of Wei does not have to do this. Wei is still a powerful country in Shandong. Your country is a vassal state. In the future, the lord and the reign of the emperor are lucky. Are you afraid that there will be no benefits for you?"
"Duke Lu said it so coldly. You are one of the princes and princes this time, so you are naturally very happy!" Marquis Wei snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied. Now Lu Qi's strength is actually similar, but Lu has a good ancestor. When the Zhou emperor enfeoffed the princes of the world, Wei was just a marquis, but Lu was one of the few dukes, and it was a first-class duke, even taller than Song. Later, although the Qi table tennis team was about to become a vassal state of Qi, it happened that Qi was in chaos in the country, so there was a chance to breathe! Why did Lu have such good luck? It made him really angry!
Unfortunately, no matter how annoyed the Marquis of Wei was, no one would pay attention to him, the monarch of the small country. Finally, he ran to Song Gong and exchanged feelings with his brothers. In the early Warring States Period, Song was actually a second-class power, but unfortunately he was too arrogant. He was beaten by the powerful country of Yue at that time, and then bullied by Wei and Qi in turn. Now he has already changed from a second-class to a third-class. This time, all countries have been awarded the title of king, but he was mentioned from a second-class duke to a first-class duke, and Wei Gong changed from a second-class duke to a first-class duke. Brothers of Wei looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and felt that the more they looked, the more sad he felt.
"Wei, Han, Qi, Lu, Yan and Zhao were granted the throne and were given food to the throne, and since then I received the twelve priests of heavenly rituals, and the nine priests were always rituals, and I ordered the king's edict to be given to eat nine tripods and eight guis. Song Duke was promoted to the first class Duke, and Wei Duke was given the first class Duke, and Wei Duke was given the honor of priests and the same priests!"
The officials in Zhou's court finished reading the imperial edict, and all the princes bowed and said thank you. Dongyang Jun waved his hand and more than a dozen officials sent him hot meat. The princes were stunned. It was right to be named king and prince to give them food, but that's all, how many times did they really eat? What happened to the "Sage" today? I really want everyone to eat meat. Can this thing be eaten? There are a lot of meat sealed by the Zhou royal family, and some of them have been unknown for many years. As soon as these hot meat was taken out, a strange smell suddenly filled the air. The expressions of the princes of various countries were immediately wonderful. They felt that the stomach was so sour and water was spreading, and they couldn't help but want to vomit.
"Mr. Dongyang, have you never given the wrong meat?"
Ji Bian finally didn't want to cry anymore. He looked at the group of frowning princes and princes through the beard and smiled through the beard. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. It's time to let these young and thin royal family suffer.
Dongyang Jun, who was standing beside him, suppressed his smile and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, your Majesty, Yingquliang is fresh, and it was cooked with fresh soy sauce given by Bai Dong. It tastes great. As for the meat from others, it's hard to say. Some have been kept in the cellar for three or five months, and some have been three or five years. Each depends on luck, so there is nothing to complain about."
"Extremely wonderful! Uncle, how long has it been since our Ji family been so proud? Can I no longer have to be angry with those princes from now on?"
"That's natural. Now Qin has all the benefits of the West. Those princes are not jealous? But they have no courage to compete with Qin. This time, Qin knows that they are generally willing to share the interests of the West with the countries in the world. If they want to get the benefits, they must get the title given by His Majesty. Otherwise, they will be traitors. How will they be accepted by Qin and Baizi? Don't say that they are eating a piece of meat that has broken taste, even dog shit can be eaten" (To be continued...)
