Perhaps as my father said, our Zhao family will eventually disperse one day, but... at least it can be as gorgeous as these fireworks.

I want to take on the great responsibility, to be worthy of my father, mother, gods, and people in the world.

As long as you achieve these four things, you are still afraid that the people in the world will lose their lives to my family? If my family will lose their lives to the world, then even if it is like Jie and Zhou, can you stop the flood? What's the point of worrying too much?

Under the sometimes dazzling and sometimes dim rainbow light, the prince stretched out his hand and slowly clenched into a fist.

"Don't let the world go."

When he woke up early in the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor took the princes to Fengxian Hall to worship the tablets of his ancestors. Since the new dynasty was established, according to the traditions of various dynasties, the portraits of the ancestors and the gods of the Zhu family have been removed from the Fengxian Hall, and the tablets of several generations of ancestors before the Zhao family were put in, and these generations of ancestors have also given their posthumous titles.

However, the Zhao family was born in a commoner after all, and the emperor did not like any divine things, so he did not make up any natural visions for himself. He dreamed of a white dragon and other life to deify himself, and did not make up various stories to claim that the fate of heaven had already arrived at the Zhao family in Xuzhou.

In a solemn atmosphere, the royal men bowed to the portraits of their ancestors one by one, and walked out of Fengxian Hall after it was already dawn.

The cabinet does not work today. Except for the necessary small officials who are on duty, most of the officials have already had their holidays, but the palace has not become deserted because of this. Because according to the convention of the new dynasty, civil and military ministers in Beijing have to come to the palace to pay homage on the first day of the first day of the lunar month and enjoy a large dinner. Even the envoys of the vassal states in Beijing have to come to pay homage on this day, so there are more people in the palace than before.

Because there were many families brought in, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The civil officials were all wearing casual clothes, while the military officials were all wearing brand new military dresses, and they also put their medals on their chests to show off their martial merits to everyone. The ministers of each family gathered together to chat in groups of three or three, and the palace was already in a noisy at this time.

These people who came to worship did not enter the inner court. The royal family usually summoned them in the Huangji Hall of the outer court. In the Ming Dynasty, the Huangji Hall was a place for holding various ceremonies, such as the emperor ascending the throne, the emperor's wedding, the empress enthronement, the order to go on a war, etc. In addition, every year, the emperor accepts congratulations from civil and military officials, and gives banquets to princes and ministers.

Because of the prosperity of the mind, the social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was already very open, but the palace was generally very conservative and pursued majesty. There were very few women and children from foreign ministers who wanted to enter the palace. However, because the new dynasty started in the short term, there were not so many etiquettes. Instead, there was a lot of folk atmosphere. This tradition of ministers coming to celebrate the New Year with their families was quite simple and focused when they started their own business in Xuzhou.

When they entered the hall one after another, the hall had already prepared a table table, filled with various fresh fruits and wine for everyone to enjoy.

At first, there was still some chaos in this New Year celebration, because the ministers and envoys of the vassal states did not know how to rank. However, after a few years of drills, everyone had a tacit ranking rule. Civil and military officials used their positions to determine the distance from the royal family, while envoys of the vassal states had special arrangements, so everyone sat down one after another according to this set of rules. Although it was noisy, it was not chaotic.

According to the rules, Prime Minister Yong Duke Wang Zhaojing was the top figure among the cabinet and nobles, so their family sat at the closest position to the royal seat. The Minister of Workers and Duke Wei Xu Housheng were arranged to follow because of their special kinship with the royal family. The seats of their family happened to be close to the prime minister.

"Master of Workers!" According to the convention of the New Dynasty, the Prime Minister congratulated the Minister of Workers after he sat down. "Good New Year."

"Prime Minister, the New Year is a good time." Duke Wei State Xu Housheng hurriedly bowed to the Prime Minister.

"What does Your Majesty the Queen say about leaving the Palace?" The Prime Minister asked directly without much politeness.

He had previously arranged for the Minister of Workers to ask the Queen for advice, but he had the intention of using their siblings to facilitate persuasion.

"His Majesty the Queen said that this matter is feasible, and praised us, saying that the ministers were intent." The Minister of Workers did not say anything more and replied directly, "However, His Majesty the Queen also said that after all, our dynasty has a shortage of financial plans, so we should still be stingy with the people's and financial resources, and not be too extravagant."

"What do you think?" the prime minister smiled slightly.

"I think..." Gong Xiang was about to say, but he felt something was wrong, so he stopped and glanced at his son next to him.

Although they are not talking about the most confidential matters of the court now, the minister of labor has always been serious and does not like his wife and children to participate in the court's political affairs.

So, seeing that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Workers were about to discuss things, their families avoided them slightly to avoid disturbing the conversation between the two important officials.

The Prime Minister was a family heir of poetry and books. Today he brought him his eldest son, Wang Zexian, the prince of the Duke of Yong. Although his son is not old, he was taught to be very polite and etiquette. Seeing that his father was about to talk about the court, he consciously stepped aside.

After seeing that the families on both sides left, Gongxiang felt relieved and resumed the conversation again. "I think His Majesty the Queen wants to be polite to the people's strength. This is a good intention, but the court is not so embarrassed now. We don't need to be so stingy. Since we want to practice, we have to practice more. Of course, I am not saying that we should practice so magnificently, but at least we must cultivate ourselves to be able to be regarded as the royal status of the Han Dynasty."

He had selfish intentions and wanted to reunite his sister's family and live a life that was comparable to the royal status, but the Prime Minister did not intend to point out his selfish intentions - because the Prime Minister himself thought about it almost the same.

"It's good that you think so." The prime minister nodded. "Okay, just do it like this. As long as you don't make it into the three-step Golden Hall and five-step Jade Step, there's still a way. After the New Year, you should take this project as a top priority. You can leave other things to others to take responsibility. Don't forget that not only you, but also the cabinet ministers are looking forward to the day when the task is completed."

"Okay, I understand." Gong Xiang nodded. "After the New Year, I will go to the western suburbs to inspect the place, find a place with excellent landscapes, and get the site selection done as soon as possible."

However, he was still a little confused - although the cabinet was responsible for the major projects he was responsible for on weekdays, he always gave them barely, and the audit was very strong, for fear of wasting more points, but when he arrived at this project, he suddenly became so generous.

"By the way, the prince will go out with me after the New Year, inspecting the progress of the capital's defense project while relaxing." When he said this, the Minister of Workers suddenly remembered this incident.

"The prince will also go out for inspection?" The prime minister was slightly moved.

In light of the emperor's arrangements that the prince had been asked to attend the State Council and was preparing to let the prince leave the Goryeo General System to conquer the future, it seems that the prince's slowly involved in the government is inevitable.

Alas, time flies so fast, and in a flash, the prince is almost growing up... Suddenly, a trace of perception that is different from the current atmosphere flashed in the prime minister's heart.

"This matter is very good, but you should pay attention to safety and not let the prince make any mistakes." After giving an explanation, he turned his head and looked at his young son.

The prince is a kind and intelligent child who can become a great man in the future. I don’t know what kind of man his son will become? I just hope that he can continue to assist the Han royal family at that time.

While the ministers were still chatting, a man who came to the palace to congratulate was taken away from the hall by the attendants of the palace. However, due to his special identity, not many people noticed his departure and continued their chat.

This person is the leader of the Goryeo Mission in Beijing, Li Ke, a member of the Goryeo royal family.

Under the leadership of his servants, he followed the road next to the Huangji Hall and walked towards Zhongji Hall step by step. He heard from the servants that the emperor and the prince of the Han Dynasty would meet him there and discuss important matters.

The commander of the group was wearing a blue shirt, tall, slender beard, and very fair-skinned. He looked like a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books. In fact, although he was a royal family member of the Goryeo Kingdom, he did have a deep foundation in Sinology.

However, although being summoned by the Emperor of Han is a kind of honor, he has a serious expression, and deep worries seem to be hidden between his eyebrows. What he is worried about was his motherland, Goryeo, and he is even more thinking about what he should do to win the favor of the Emperor of the Chinese and Koreans and make him a little gratitude to his motherland.

After the reinstatement of Guanghai Jun was restored by the court, in order to strengthen his control over Goryeo, a delegation was set up in Goryeo, and similarly, Goryeo was also required to set up delegations in the capital.

In the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo did not have permanent diplomatic institutions in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. They just sent tribute missions to the capital to worship the emperor regularly. Although Goryeo would send envoys to inform the Ming Dynasty whenever the royal power changed, they were not under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period, when Japan crossed the sea to attack Goryeo and poisoned one side, although the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue and eventually drove the Japanese army out of Goryeo, it did not garrison in Goryeo afterwards. It immediately withdrew and soon fell into internal chaos.
