Chapter 247 247
Zhou Dan also had some ministers of the empire, watching the horse offered by Qi Xiaobai.
After careful observation, I found that this horse was a little different from the horses of the Central Plains and the northern grasslands, although this horse was not tall, but it was strong, and its appearance was a little different from the horses here.
Although the horse offered by Zhao Yong is good, in the empire or in the northern grassland, this is the king of horses, but in terms of value, this horse is not as expensive as Qi Xiaobai's overseas horse.
Emperor Zhou Sheng nodded, the coronation ceremony can be said to be the only grand event in the empire, and the royal family can receive gifts from all over the world.
In order to show off their national strength, the princes gave gifts of the highest quality, and the coronation ceremony could give the emperor a good harvest.
Finally, Xiong Huai presented, Xiong Huai presented a big tripod, which is Xiong Huai spent a lot of money and recruited a lot of skilled craftsmen to create a bronze tripod.
Ding symbolizes the national strength of a country, Ding Hao, this country is strong, every country has a big Ding, this Ding is in charge of the princes, after the death of the princes, this Ding is the new monarch inheritance.
And the big tripod presented by Xiong Huai was built by him by imitating the big tripod of the Chu State, and the tripod of the Chu State is the largest tripod of the princes.
After all, Chu is currently the strongest country in the empire, although Wei has become the new overlord, but where is the national strength of Chu, once competing with Jin, even in decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Moreover, the comprehensive national strength of the state of Chu is the strongest in the empire, which no one can refute, even the state of Wei has to admit the comprehensive national strength of the state of Chu.
However, the state of Chu could not use his comprehensive national strength, after all, the scholars of the state of Chu were too strong, and it was very difficult for Xiong Huai to integrate the national strength.
The great tripod of the state of Chu symbolizes the hegemony of the state of Chu, and he played a fake big tripod to present to the emperor, which means to tell the emperor that he has the same hegemony as the state of Chu.
The people of Chu respect the emperor very much, and if you want to give gifts, the most gratifying thing for the emperor is Xiong Huai.
Because the state of Chu is sending respect, it is respect for the emperor, and he told the emperor about Dading, that is, to tell the emperor, I will give you my hegemony, and my state of Chu is your courtier.
Of course, the state of Chu is also for show, and the state of Chu has always been regarded as a southern barbarian by the Central Plains, even when the Zhou Empire was strong at that time, it also regarded the state of Chu as a southern barbarian.
Xiong Huai did this in the hope of accepting the approval of the Central Plains royal family, so that when he and his descendants were in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the future, his Chu State would be more reasonable.
Now the Northern Expedition of Chu is regarded as a Southern Barbarian invasion by the Central Plains countries, so the Chu State wants to get a recognition from the emperor and recognizes that the Chu State is also a member of the Central Plains Cultural Circle of the Empire.
Zhou Shengdi looked at these gifts, and she smiled: "The gifts you gave are all very good, and I like them very much!" ”
Emperor Zhou's smile was very bright, and his sunny smile made Qi Xiaobai a little fascinated, thinking in his heart how good it would be for the emperor to marry him?
Qi Xiaobai had the idea of marrying the emperor, and the emperor's smile was similar to the smile of her first love goddess.
If Qi Xiaobai told Guan Zhong about this idea, Guan Zhong would definitely give his full support, what does it mean to marry the emperor? This means that the Qi country is also a royal family.
This is more conducive to the Qi State to compete for imperial hegemony, and my Qi State has become a royal family, entering the Central Plains, and launching a war, which can be done in the name of the royal family.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai wants to marry the emperor, it is very difficult, although the empire has also had empresses, but the empresses basically married the empire and dedicated their lives to the country.
This is mainly for fear of people with hearts, after marrying the emperor, he gradually grasped the imperial power of the empire, and since then the royal family has not been surnamed Ji.
Because of this reason, the female emperors of the past dynasties have not married, although the female emperors of the past dynasties also have their favorite lovers, but after inheriting the throne, they all ruthlessly cut off contact with their lovers, and even sent people to murder their lovers.
Of course, in the period when the empire was strong, among the many princes, the prince competed for victory, who was not ruthless?
If you are not ruthless, how can you win the battle for the prince in this cruel situation?
The emperor cannot have merciful people, they must be moody and intimidate the world.
But by now, the emperor is no longer a sought-after commodity, and there is no cruel dispute between the princes, after all, the royal family knows that the emperor is a mascot, and the princes don't take them seriously at all.
The ZTE Empire, they also want to, but they also know how difficult the ZTE Empire is? The first thing in the Zhongxing Empire is to reclaim the territory of the empire and suppress the princes.
How can a royal family with only one city win territory in the hands of a prince with strong soldiers?
And after Ji Mingyue inherited the throne, she also had the idea of the Zhongxing Empire in her heart, after all, no one wants to be an empty shelf throne, right?
When people get to that position, even if they didn't want to it before, they will want it now.
After the princes and courtiers offered their gifts, the emperor began to set up a banquet for the courtiers and princes.
The princes had a table for each person, and Luo Fangshi stood behind Qi Xiaobai.
Ji Mingyue sat on the throne, looked at a young, handsome man next to him and said, "Brother Shengang, where are you going to sit!" ”
The position that Ji Mingyue pointed to was the position where only the imperial prince could sit, and Xiao Shu on the side said: "This is a grand banquet, you can't sit in this position casually!" ”
"What's the matter, I'm the emperor, whoever I let sit is where it is!" Ji Mingyue looked at her mother and said.
"Mingyue, the Queen Mother is right, this is a grand banquet, and I am not qualified to sit in that seat!" Shen Gang said to Ji Mingyue.
Shen Gang is the second son of the Shen family in the empire, the younger brother of Shen Buxian, he is the childhood sweetheart of Emperor Ji Mingyue, the two grew up together and liked each other.
Shen Gang is handsome and unconvinced, and his strength is also very proud, although he is not as white and tender as Shen Bu, but wherever he goes, he has a man's ambition and masculine beauty, which also makes many women unable to extricate themselves.
"Don't, Brother Shen Gang, after a while, I will crown you as the king, you will be the king in the future, I just let you sit here in advance!" Ji Mingyue showed her little tiger teeth and said to Shen Gang.
And Shen Gang's father, Shen Jiang, was happy when he heard this, if Shen Gang was crowned king, then his Shen family's status would also rise very high, at least in the royal family, there was no need to whisper to those princes.
When Shangqing Zhou Dan heard it, he angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense, although the emperor is young, you can't mess around like this, can the king be sealed casually?" ”
As the secretary of the empire, the mainstay of Zhou Dan had a very comprehensive view of this, when the state of Chu had millions of soldiers, the sword pointed at the Central Plains, and the self-proclaimed 'King of Chu' The emperor had to crown the monarch of the state of Chu as the first king with a different surname.
And Wei defeated King Chu Huai in the Central Plains War, Wei State's elite 'Wei Wushu' walked alone in the world, came to Luoyang City to ask for the king, Emperor Zhou Ren was afraid of Wei, and had to be crowned king, this is the second king with a different surname.
