The capital of the Chinese Empire, Beijing.

At that time, when the Chinese Empire was founded, there was a debate about where to set the capital, which was roughly the four plans of Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan and Beijing. In the end, the emperor spoke out that the state dynasty was to revive China, and he should inherit the orthodox of the former Ming Dynasty in China and "the emperor guarded the national gates." Since the current national threat mainly comes from the north, it is natural to set the capital of Beijing.

Suddenly, this ancient capital has become the administrative center of the new empire for ten years. This ancient city in the eastern world, which has been walking slowly in the medieval civilization and has gradually fallen asleep in the past two hundred years, seems to have been pushed hard, cheering up, and strode forward to chase the back of the times.

At this time, Beijing City was already a world of difference compared to ten years ago. Standing on the commanding heights in the city, the brick and wood buildings with flying eaves and brackets and the new high-rise buildings with grey cement structures complement each other. The main roads are brand new asphalt roads, and the sidewalks next to them are neatly built with grey and bricks.

On the road, traditional oriental two-wheeled carts, Western-style four-wheeled carts and new cars representing modern industrial civilization honking each other, blowing whistles, and whistles. On the sidewalks on the roadside, men wearing various gorgeous clothes, windbreakers, cotton jackets or leather shoulders, short hair, wearing Chinese women's clothing of various colors, putting their feet, and walking lightly in leather shoes or cloth shoes, shoulder to shoulder. Many people are wearing leather bags or carrying canvas backpacks, and everyone is in a hurry.

Policemen with white leggings and black uniforms patrolled along the sidewalk. Traffic police in white uniforms stood on the high platform in the middle of the intersection to guide traffic. Trains with braids were passing through the city rails, and the waiting crowds on the platform lined up in an orderly manner. As soon as the tram stopped, they got on and off in an orderly manner. A hand bell rang, and the tram swayed on the journey again.

On one side of Chang'an Street, a huge bronze statue stands above a huge granite Arc de Triomphe. The emperor in the middle is riding a horse, pointing his sword in his hand diagonally forward, and the fully armed soldier holds the golden dragon battle flag and charges hard with a steel gun.

A line of words was engraved on the granite base of the Arc de Triomphe: "In the 333rd year of the Ming Dynasty, there were descendants of Yan and Huang named Zheng Ying, who commanded my Chinese people to restore my China."

There is another line of words below: "Two-ninety-seven years after the Battle of Renchen, the island country invaded our China. Some descendants of Yan and Huang were named Zheng Ying, who commanded our Chinese descendants to defeat our island country, destroyed their troops, lost their courage, and the island country people sought peace."

Next: "Four hundred and fifty years after the Ming Dynasty lost Annan, the descendants of Yan and Huang were named Zheng Ying, who commanded the two descendants of China, defeated the Fayi, and regained the hometown of the Han Dynasty in the north."

Under the Arc de Triomphe, countless bouquets of white, red, and countless bouquets of flowers were tightly surrounded, and men and women came here from time to time. Veterans with crutches swayed the handwriting on the Arc de Triomphe, and tears flowed; young people blushed, bowed deeply, put on the bouquets, and left quietly; many young men in gorgeous clothes and glasses put down the bouquets in their hands, and silently looked at the towering Arc de Triomphe, with their fascination.

A huge half-body military uniform painting hangs high above the Tiananmen Gate Tower. His Majesty's deep and sharp eyes overlooking the imperial capital, as if a god was always staring at his divine kingdom and looking at the various forms of all living beings.

The Palace of China.

After the founding of the Chinese Empire, the new emperor did not move into the Forbidden City, but chose to build a new palace on the east side of the Prince Gong's Mansion between Houhai and Qianhai, called "China Palace". The architectural style is European-style brick and stone buildings that combine Chinese gardens and bracket dripping eaves, and are combined with landmark buildings like Huabiao, which is generally considered a combination of Chinese and Western.

In the imperial study of the Zhonghua Palace, two old men sat face to face.

Emperor Zheng Ying of the Chinese Empire is already 65 years old this year. At this moment, he was sitting behind the desk, wearing a black military dress with gold thread, a slanted emperor ribbon, a diamond, a diamond, five-claw, golden dragon, and a special blue dragon medal with gold and silver inlaid with sun and moon shining on his country, which was particularly conspicuous.

The emperor's head was combed meticulously with silver hair backwards, his nose was straight, his horoscope must be neatly constructed, and the muscles on his face were a little loose. At first glance, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the three deep wrinkles on his forehead, which made people unstoppably recall the King of Beasts. The eyelids under his thick eyebrows were already drooping, and his eyes were like slender triangles, shooting sharp gazes like eagles. At this moment, half of the emperor's side face faintly surrounded the sun, while the other half of his face looked a little dark due to light.

"It seems that the child has been thinking a little. Could it be that he is tired of picking peaches?" The emperor's expression seemed to be a smile, and he gently tapped his fingers on a document. "I didn't expect that this trip to Europe and the United States will really give us a lot of surprises."

The man sitting opposite him looked younger, wearing a white naval dress, with a calm expression, and his appearance could be vaguely seen with his youthful demeanor, dark skin and slightly drooping eyes. It was Marshal Xu Fan, the Chief of Staff of the Navy.

"Teacher, this child is talented. In the past, he was just intimidated by your majesty and did not have the right opportunity, so he seems a little lacking in opinion. Speaking of which, learning things and analyzing the situation and dealing with urgent matters is not the best choice? Your vision will naturally not be wrong."

The emperor looked at him playfully: "Xiaofan, you have been the most harsh to this child since you were a child. You have never said so many good things like today. What's your idea?"

Xu Fan smiled bitterly: "I am more strict with Xiaoyu, but I just hope that there will be successors in this career. Now that he can become a talent, I naturally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Become a good man?" The emperor seemed to have a god and shook his head gently, "It's too early to say this."

"Teacher, I have to admit that he has far exceeded my expectations." Xu Fan raised his head and said slowly, "This courage, mind and judgment on the general trend is just like this even if it was replaced by a few of us."

"We are not as good as him at this age." The emperor said calmly, "I have never been worried about this child's intelligence and cleverness since childhood."

Xu Fan nodded silently.

"But, don't be too arrogant to look down on him. That little bit of care can't hide it from him." The emperor smiled strangely, "This courage and gambling nature have a bit of my style, but in the end he still relies on his identity as a talisman."

"That's also a burden." Xu Fan said softly, "How many smart people can't see through this thing with more things and become possessed by the devil. This child has always been cautious, but at this time he can be willing to give it up. Even if he has some small calculations, he may still consider the country more, which can be considered as great wisdom."

"The child probably regarded this empire as his family business, so he was very fond of snacks." The emperor smiled faintly, "I have cleverness. I have great wisdom, so I have to see... But speaking of this idea this kid really has some tricks."

"Things in recent years have indeed been a bit off track. If his plan can be implemented, our pressure will be much less." Xu Fan nodded, "But this plan is really too complicated. A Tie may also need to cooperate."

The emperor stared at him for a while, with a playful look on his face. After a moment, he smiled slightly: "You... don't need to tell Xiao Tie about this. Since the child wants to do something, why should we interfere? Anyway, it's Mingyang and the others to do the specific things, let alone the little thing he asked him to make back then, now it seems that he is a bit tricky. He has some foundation. Don't always regard him as pitiful. This child is not a simple person."

The emperor laughed twice: "It's rare that he wants to share his worries for his father. Naturally, I, a father, will not give him a chance. If he wants people, I will give them others; if he wants money, I will give him money. It depends on where he can go this time."

He paused and continued, "Xiaofan, I know what you are worried about. But even if the root seedlings are good and the nutrients are sufficient, and if you fight with the heroes who are coming out of the sea of ​​blood, can you have a good ending? Even if you really use him in the end, it is still too far away. If you don't practice hard, and don't really quench and quench your blood, no matter how good the steel mouth is, it's just a piece of cake."

Xu Fan was slightly stunned: "Aren't you afraid that Xiaoyu will mess it up? This matter is of great importance after all, and he is a child again."

"You... can't let it go." The emperor shook his head and sighed with regret. "If you want, why should I... this heart? Why should this child be worried all day long?"

He waved his hand and stopped Xu Fan who wanted to speak.

"I have long since lost hope for you. I have decided on this matter, don't interfere." The emperor's expression was serious, and an irresistible majesty suddenly spread out from the aging body. "Give him a chance to let go. Is it a real dragon or a loach, and you have to see the real chapter at this time. If you fail, you will fail. If I can conquer this country from a scholar, why should I fear the great powers? At worst, it's just a little more dead. As long as we are here and our group is here, we can always drive them back in the end. This price is worth the most."

Xu Fan lowered his head, seemed to think for a while, then raised his head and said slowly and sincerely: "Since the teacher said that, I will follow your instructions. However, please agree to my request."
