On the New Year, the drum has just been beaten.

Changdan City became noisy.

Most of the people on the street are from other places, and these people arrived in Changdan half a month ago.

Every day, I live in an inn that is ten times higher than before, and eat food that is not very used to or even very expensive, just to see the style of the Great Zhou army.

Since last year's soldier drill was praised by countless people, Zhao Yan has decided to hold a soldier drill every year on the New Year.

Last year's New Year was a new debut in the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This year was the first year of the reform of the New Deal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was also the year when the Great Zhou proved that it was the strongest country.

In just three years, Zhao Yan was able to turn the Great Zhou into this, which he had never expected.

Fourth update.

Xiao Jingye got up, and he only breathed a sigh of relief since Zhao Yan promised him to discuss Guan Juer's affairs yesterday.

Compared with previous years, Xiao Jingye has lived a very comfortable life this year. The affairs of the Secretariat have basically been assigned, and the new policy is in full swing. Seeing the Great Zhou becoming stronger and stronger, he feels that he has stepped into the threshold of historical famous ministers.

Yang Xinghuai got up before the third day.

One is because of excitement, and the other is because of age and less sleep.

After he got up, he picked up a long sword in the martial arts training ground in the backyard and started practicing.

After the New Year, the Great Zhou Dynasty was destined to have a war with Liuhai Kingdom, and Yang Xinghuai was still preparing to lead the army to fight.

He is eager to participate in this kind of war that can win and gain face. The distance between him and historical generals may be the same as this war.

At this moment, Kong Moshan slowly got up under the service of two tall maids.

At this time in previous years, he was so busy that he couldn't sleep at all because there were too many places to spend money and the treasury had too little money.

But this year is very different. He even takes the initiative to ask: If you are short of money, just say it. As long as you do things for the country and the people, our treasury will not be short of money!

At the fifth day of the day, all the officials gathered outside the palace wall.

When the drum beats nine times in the palace, Zhao Yan will climb the tower on the palace wall.

Then, all officials and envoys from various countries could follow up the city tower and watch the soldiers' drills.

The envoys of Beimeng, Vientiane, Xilimu, Heikhan, Goryeo and Liuhai Kingdom were also followed by all the officials.

Except for the special envoy from Northern Mongolia that became Xiong Shen, and the special envoy of Goryeo became a gray-bearded old man Park Feinan, the special envoys from other countries were old friends of the Great Zhou.

Yukiko Natsume of the Liuhai Kingdom was like a top card in the tiles, trying every means to establish good relations with countries outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, obviously preparing for war after the New Year.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

With the sound of deafening drums coming.

Zhao Yan walked slowly from Daqing Hall and appeared in the center of the city tower.

"Long live your Majesty!"

The moment Zhao Yan appeared on the city tower, the civil and military officials below and the people watching not far away knelt down one after another: Long live the three calls!

These envoys were shocked.

In fact, they can either kneel or not, but under the sound of mountains and thunder, they have no choice but to kneel on the ground.

These envoys could clearly feel that the people were worshiping Zhao Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

If anyone has a blasphemy towards Zhao Yan, they will definitely fight their best and stand up.

This kind of extreme worship of the king by the people is not available to them in all countries.

Zhao Yan smiled and looked down, raised his hand with one hand and said, "Everyone should get up!"

Suddenly, everyone stood up slowly.

Civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above, special envoys from various countries, as well as representatives of some aristocratic families, also climbed the city tower.

The people consciously retreated to both sides of the street.

The soldiers drill is about to begin.

roar!

With a loud sound.

Five thousand imperial infantrymen, wearing black armor, long swords, walked over with big strides.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The movements were neat and uniform, and five thousand people were like one.

The confidence shown by the soldiers made the people who have seen it believe that this is an unbeatable team.

After the infantry, there are five thousand cavalry of the Shence Army.

Then there are the firearm battalions and artillery battalions.

During this military parade, Zhao Yan was much more low-key and no longer showed the power of firearms and sky-surge thunder.

In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no need to show or prove its strength to others.

If you dare to provoke me, I will destroy you!

Today's Great Zhou comes from the confidence in the bones.

After more than an hour, the soldiers' drill ended successfully.

The people around them looked excited and were proud to live in such a country.

On the city tower, all the civil and military officials were all raised their chests and raised their heads, very happy that today in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they also contributed.

And those envoys were basically wet on their backs.

Because they clearly felt that if the Great Zhou really launched a war, their soldiers would be unable to resist it.

If the king of Liuhai Kingdom saw the current military appearance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would never say anything like "Liuhai can fight with Great Zhou."

Immediately afterwards, it was time to pay tribute to the Daqing Hall, which was the so-called annual summary and foreign envoys' meeting.

Inside the Daqing Hall.

The civil and military officials stood in two rows, and six special envoys stood in a corner behind the civil officials.

Zhao Yan sat on the dragon throne, looked around, and then looked at Xizi.

Xizi immediately understood and said loudly: "The first item of the grand ceremony on the New Year is a gift from the foreign envoy!"

Soon, the six special envoys all came to the center of the hall and presented the gift list respectively.

Xiong Shen did not write the "Picture of Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Country" on the gift list, but planned to present it again when he was about to leave Changdan.

Zhao Yan roughly scanned the gift list and found that it was no different from previous years. He immediately put it aside and looked down and said, "Dear envoys, your king has something to pass on to me."

Xilim's special envoy surrendered to Yangdempa and sent a monarchy to Zhao Yan, and then said with a compliment: "His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, I, the King of Xilim, thank you to you. Without the foreign trade economy of the Great Zhou, my salt, minerals, tea, and wine in Xilim would fall into a shortage. Xilim is willing to be a neighbor of Great Zhou forever."

In a small place like Xilim, Zhao Yan could destroy them with a wave of his hand, so he surrendered Yangdemba and seized all useful opportunities to curry favor with the Great Zhou.

Wear it thousands of times, but flatter you don’t wear it.

Zhao Yan couldn't stop hearing this and said in a very generous manner: "As long as Xilimu does not offend me, we will be a neighboring country."

At this time, Yukiko Natsume, the special envoy of Liuhai Kingdom, twisted and walked out.

"Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, do you still remember the little girl?" Natsume Yukiko's voice was soft and charming, and Zhao Yan almost slid down from the dragon throne.

She is the first person who can openly tease the emperor in Daqing Palace.

"Ahem..."

Zhao Yan coughed dryly and said, "Enter Natsume, please speak well."

Suddenly, Yukiko Natsume knelt down, then raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the real murderer who caused the flood in Caizhou is not my Liuhai Kingdom, but Goryeo!"

Hearing this, Daqing Palace became quiet instantly.
Chapter completed!
