Chapter 163, Flower Festival (2)

On the stage of the Imperial Capital Flower Festival, flowers are filled with potted flowers. The stage is surrounded by bushes of peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees. It is the late spring season, and flowers bloom, turning the entire stage into a sea of ​​flowers.

The railings around the stage are surrounded by top brocades from the Imperial Jiangnan Province and Sichuan-Shaanxi Province. The table is covered with camel velvet carpets produced from Bosi. A small piece is worth a thousand gold, showing its grand and luxuriousness. The entire stage is about fifteen meters long and seven meters wide, which can stand hundreds of people. The latest election for the Flower Festival of the Imperial Capital will be held on the stage soon.

The Flower Festival in the imperial capital has always been the responsibility of the Imperial Concierge Department, which specializes in external communication and communication, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of later generations, and is also one of the important departments of the Empire. Just as the people were looking forward to it, an official from the Imperial Concierge Department stepped onto the stage.

"My fellow villagers, please invite Director Du Shanghui of the Imperial Concierge Department to talk to everyone." The officials of the Concierge Department announced loudly, and then a middle-aged man in bright blue brocade strode to the center of the stage. It was Du Shanghui of the Imperial Concierge Department. He heard him loudly:

"The empire has been a thousand years, and its culture is prosperous, and its military power is in full swing. The Great Six are famous. Today, the Huachao, the four people are happy. The celebration will be held in the next day, and they will swear to drink the blood of the enemy..." Du Shanghui didn't say much. After less than three minutes of speaking, he walked off the stage, but the bloody aura contained in it made the originally soft Huachao Festival air solemn.

"It seems that the Empire held this Flower Festival, called beauty pageant, but in fact it was a demonstration." The people with flexible minds immediately realized something.

Sure enough, the following words confirmed their conjecture. Du Shanghui took a step back, and a tall and handsome man walked onto the stage, but it was Ma Haoyun, the director of the Imperial Concierge Department.

Ma Haoyun glanced around and said loudly: "Director Du said it very well. Although we are in the imperial capital, we are concerned about the frontline. The selection of the Flower Goddess of the Flower Festival will be different from the past. However, representatives from the empire's vassal states Annan, Dongwu, Goryeo and Ross officially participated in the selection. The representatives of these four countries traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital. First, they admired the culture of our empire, and second, strengthened exchanges with the empire during this period. Please welcome everyone."

A sparse applause sounded from the stage, but more were a wave of discussion and questions higher than a wave.

"The Eastern Japanese also sent people? Didn't they send their navy to fight the empire?" Everyone was talking.

There are no less than ten vassal states in the empire, and the four largest ones have arrived recently.

Among them, the Eastern Japanese Navy was fighting fiercely with the Imperial Navy near the Imperial Zhenhai Mansion, but they still sent people to participate in this Flower Festival. This is really a suspicion. Is this just like provocation?

Perhaps seeing the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the people below the audience, Ma Haoyun hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, it is the rebels in the East Japan that are in conflict with the Empire. The Empress of the East Japan is working hard to eliminate them. The envoys sent this time have nothing to do with those rebels."

In fact, in the previous Flower Festival selection, there were many non-imperial women participating, but there was never such a group coming today. Moreover, during this sensitive period, the four people were not suspicious and angry.

"These bastards!" Lei Dongfeng suddenly cursed in the private room on the fourth floor of Sishui, looking at the envoys from various countries who were walking onto the stage with a arrogant attitude.

"I don't go back, but what tricks can I see?" Zhao Huicheng asked with a smile as usual.

"The representatives of the four countries came together at this moment, and there were only two plans. One was to take advantage of the opportunity of domestic and foreign affairs and pressure the empire. Especially the Eastern Japanese and Ross had a sense of independence, and they had no intention of coming here at this moment; the second was to demonstrate to the empire, which was called sending people to participate in the Huachao Festival, but in fact, it was to make the empire's majesty through this, and their hearts were punished!" Lei Dongfeng took a deep breath and returned to his calm.

"Okay, how about it, Brother Zhang Feng, I can say that I can't come back." Zhao Huicheng smiled at the door with his hands touched his hands.

"Well, what a Lei Dongfeng, I underestimated you." An old man walked into the private room and was Zhang Feng, the Marquis of the Empire Yan State.

"Sister Jiang, I'm here." A girl in a fiery red shirt and a red skirt appeared from behind Zhang Feng, but her head was combed into a common double bun for imperial girls. Against the backdrop of the red headband, she was very cute. This girl is not the little pepper of the ghost elf Zhang Lin, who else?

"If you don't return, the envoys of these four vassal states secretly came to Beijing yesterday. As you said, they must have had a conspiracy before, and this time the election of Huachao Festival was also proposed by them. The old brother of the Marquis of Yan was originally strongly opposed, but I support it very much. Since they dared to solve the tiger beards of the empire, if we don't give them a harsh moment, it would not be the way for my emperor to treat guests!" A cold light flashed in Zhao Huicheng's eyes.

"I think Director Du Shanghui is also the president's person." Lei Dongfeng suddenly said that Du Shanghui is just a director. In the imperial capital, which is as powerful as a huge number, it is really nothing, but he can say that passionate words before his boss. If there is no one to give advice behind his back, it will be difficult.

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. I did instruct him to say that, but if you don't know why I asked Uncle Fu to pick you up at the inn early in the morning?" Zhao Huicheng looked at Lei Dongfeng with satisfaction and asked again.

"Does the dean want Zhuying and the others to participate in the selection of the goddess of the Flower Dynasty?" Lei Dongfeng's eyes swept over the women with different qualities but dazzling appearances, and immediately became scheming in his heart.

"You guys are quick to think about it. Feilan has taken good students and the girl Ying has found a good man." Zhang Feng praised.

"Entertainment Father, can we comply with the rules for running for the election?" Jiang Zhuying asked with a red look.

"Why can't it be? The official selection of Flower Goddess Goddess is all on-site registration. I have already signed up for you three. As for the assessment, it is divided into three parts: one is appearance, two is talent, and three is the proposition. Which of you three points is not a beautiful person, you must get it." Zhao Huicheng said confidently.

"Register on site? Wouldn't there be a lot of people?" Lei Dongfeng Qi said.

"Haha. I heard that I didn't return to the imperial capital for several years and were busy with study and entertainment. Today, I saw this. In fact, although the goddess of the Flower Dynasty was extremely honored, the selection conditions were extremely strict. She had at least a middle-aged and above, and her age required to be over fifteen years old and under twenty-five years old. Although many of the four people met this condition, everyone also knew that their talents and propositions were not performances under the attention of everyone. If they really signed up randomly, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to the stage? Therefore, with the self-esteem of the Chinese people, they would never sign up randomly, not to mention that there were people from the Concierge Office to review on the spot. Even if someone took advantage of the opportunity, they would end up laughing." Zhao Huicheng smiled.

"It seems that the people of the empire are simple. If they look like talent shows in later generations, no matter what kind of monsters or monsters, they dare to be conspicuous, and they even call it hype. But it is really a bit ridiculous to be with the real folk customs of this empire." Lei Dongfeng sighed secretly.

"It depends on the orders of the adoptive father." Jiang Zhuying glanced at Li Ruoxi and Roland. Roland was a charming person, so she was naturally not afraid of such occasions and agreed with a smile; Li Ruoxi was a young girl after all, and looked at Lei Dongfeng and Jiang Zhuying with a blushing face. When she saw Lei Dongfeng looking at her with encouragement, she nodded.

"Well, in half an hour, the selection of the goddess of the Flower Dynasty will officially begin. This time, not only the officials of the empire, but also the envoys of four vassal states and other countries, so there is no problem with fairness and justice, but the pressure is definitely great. You three don't have to be burdened. The emperors are not afraid of any provocations, and culture is also the prosperity of this Great Six. If you don't dare to accept their challenges, it will weaken our reputation!" Zhao Huicheng said with a smile.

When Lei Dongfeng heard this, he sighed in his heart: What is self-confidence? Self-confidence really needs national strength to support it. The emperor has strong strength and uses one country's strength to compete with other countries on the Great Six Highway; the culture is prosperous, and the various theories are spread and admired by all countries. In this way, he has the confidence to face it fairly and calmly, and will never scream when he is stimulated. Instead, he is at a disadvantage.

And these glory and dignity are precisely the maintenance of the emperors and the persistence of the four imperial people and the scholars and officials over the past thousand years. Otherwise, how could they have today's heroic spirit and confidence?

"Next, please invite Zhuge Yuhua of the State Privy Council to rule, Speaker Cao Qianlong of the Imperial National Assembly, Minister Guan Bowen of the Military Department; Director Tian Songren of the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Tai Shizheng of the Military Department, and National Assemblyman..." As Ma Haoyun pronounced the names one after another, the crowd who had just recovered from peace in the audience burst into amazement again, Zhuge Yuhua, Cao Qianlong? Why are these big figures also here?

The Empire Flower Festival has not been uncommon. During peacetime, Yuan Dynasty, National Assembly members, and chiefs of various ministries (divisions) came to participate in the Flower Festival celebration. They also often enjoyed the people, which is also a rare opportunity for them to show their kindness and love for the people.

But now, it is not as good as before. Since the invasion of the Western Invaders, the imperial government agencies have rarely sent officials, especially the first chief of a department (department) to participate in entertainment activities, not to mention that these big figures gathered in such an occasion. Even to commemorate the mother-in-law of the country, there is no need to do so, right?

"Yuan Cheng Mo said." With the shout of the audience, a man with a medium figure and a handsome face walked into the arena. It was the empire Yuan Cheng Mo Cheng who rushed to the stage.

"Entertainment Father?" Jiang Zhuying frowned slightly.

"Ying'er, don't worry, there is a good show to watch today." Zhao Huicheng waved his hand with a smile.

Jiang Zhuying had no choice but to look at Lei Dongfeng, but saw Lei Dongfeng with a serious look on his face and signaled her not to speak for now.

This was also the first time Lei Dongfeng saw Cheng Mo, or the first time this young man who traveled through time saw the Yuan of this country, the man with a noble name but no real power, strode into Lei Dongfeng's sight.

Empire Zhi is also the most helpless person in this country. Lei Dongfeng suddenly had this idea in his heart, and his eyes looking downstairs Cheng Mo had a little more guesswork.

"Yesterday, Brother Dao used the Taoist debate meeting to express his feelings, but today it was these big guys who used the Flower Festival celebration to show their own way." Li Ruoxi attached himself to Jiang Zhuying's ear.
