In such days, the only people who still need to work hard are those slaves.
Every birthday is the reincarnation of their hatred accumulation. When everyone around them is in a sea of joy, more people open their scarlet eyes, revealing hatred in the dark.
The emperor smiled, completely unable to see the appearance of three sons who died in a short period of time.
He had the best face, and refused to let the envoys of other countries see anything. He was still the monarch of the strongest country other than Da Qin, and his great achievements were far superior to the previous emperor!
The palace where the birthday is held is the Tianqi Hall of Zeguo. It is the tallest and largest palace in Zeguo and the tallest palace in the world. Counting the square in front of the hall, it covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters.
From top to bottom, there are more than 300 steps, all made of white marble, majestic and magnificent!
This temple is also the pride of Zeguo! Because even Daqin does not have such a magnificent building.
Standing in front of the hall, you can cross the palace wall and overlook the entire capital. That kind of pride in the world can only be felt when you are in the place.
Thirty or so envoys came one by one with their entourage. Many of their countries were small and their national strength was limited. Naturally, they could not build such a gorgeous palace, so they were amazed while watching.
When Qin Jue stepped on the white jade steps, what he thought was what the grand master said when he was teaching.
He said that Zeguo was very happy and greedy for vanity. In order to overwhelm the Daqin Palace, he did not hesitate to arrest 500,000 slaves. It took three years to build the Temple of Apocalypse.
Because the project was too rushed, 200,000 of the 500,000 slaves were buried here.
It is no exaggeration to say that this magnificent and magnificent palace is built on bones.
The old emperor, who was walking on white bones to celebrate his birthday, was flushed and full of air today.
Generally speaking, the emperor's birthday banquet is divided into two times, at noon with courtiers and foreign envoys, and at night with concubines and children.
This time, it is his 60th birthday again, and envoys from more than 30 countries have visited, which is enough to give him face!
In fact, he didn't know that many of these messengers came because Qin Jue came.
The emperor of Daqin visited Zeguo in person and wished the emperor his birthday, which means that the two countries will have a good relationship!
In order to find out, those who did not have a good relationship with Zeguo also sent envoys one after another, so there is a grand ceremony gathered in all directions today!
After the fireworks were set off outside, everyone entered the hall. The inside of the hall was even more gorgeous, with gold and jade piles everywhere, carved beams and painted buildings.
The so-called vulgar and elegant, looking at such a gorgeous decoration, not only will it not feel tacky, but it will feel extravagant.
Even the tables in front of everyone were made of red sandalwood, not to mention the wine bottles inlaid with gems.
Some envoys from small countries saw this and even had the urge to bring the wine glass back.
Zeguo is really rich! Zeguo is already so rich, so how rich is Daqin, the richest country in the world? !
Everyone thought about it, and then secretly looked at Emperor Qin, who was next to the emperor and first on the left.
Although Emperor Qin is not the protagonist today, he has a cold temperament and a strong aura. Even if he is not in the limelight, when people look up, they will first be attracted to him, and then they will look at the red-faced emperor.
Of course, they didn't dare to look directly, they only dared to glance carefully, secretly amazed in their hearts.
As expected of one of the Great Qin Shuangbi, Xie Guoshi, who was sitting beside him, looked very disappointing.
Although he has the same outstanding temperament and is gentle and elegant, his appearance is still a little worse than that of Emperor Qin, and it is a bit unworthy of the name.
But as a husband-in-law, Xie Linlang would be more popular.
Emperor Qin looked too cold, like a fairy in the sky, it was really difficult to pull into the world, but that Xie Guoshi was always smiling, the stars were shining in his eyes, and he looked like he could talk easily.
The women behind the envoy watched and whispered from behind the screen.
Originally, on such an occasion, there would be no women attending the table, but they were different. Many of them were gifts and used to establish diplomatic relations.
The old emperor obviously felt the pressure of Qin Jue beside him, so he made a louder voice, trying to overwhelm Qin Jue.
Then, when the eunuch sang the congratulatory gifts brought by the envoys, he also gave them back one by one, and he gave back more than what others sent, in order to show the demeanor of a great country.
This is also the first time Xie Linlang has seen the great lord of Zeguo up close.
There were four in total, all dressed in silk satin woven with gold threads, with high crowns on their heads.
They looked contemptuous and raised their chins when looking at people, as if they didn't even look at the emperor.
They really don't take the emperor seriously, because the emperor may not necessarily have more wealth than them.
They are much more exaggerated than Daqin's aristocratic families, whether it is to accumulate wealth, recruit troops, or land and slaves, they can have unlimited possessions.
In fact, it is not without restrictions, but if they don't listen, the emperor can't control it.
Under this circumstance, it is not normal for the Zeguo to be in chaos. There is something wrong with them at the root. Coupled with the secret competition between the lords, their greed may be even more than the emperor!
Xie Linlang looked back and looked away, then tilted her body and said to Qin Jue beside her.
"I now believe that Daqin's water and soil support people... Look at you, and then look at the great lord of Zeguo, I still have to see you wash your eyes!"
Qin Jue was praised by his sweetheart again, his face was calm, but his ears were a little red, and then he was serious and said to her as if he had ordered something important.
"I allow you to keep looking at me."
Xie Linlang was amused by his somewhat arrogant tone, so he was just like the little prince who pretended to be an adult when he was a child! If it weren't for someone, she would definitely be teasing him!
At this time, the envoy's ceremony list was finished, and then the minister presented the gift on behalf of the people, and then the prince presented the gift.
Xie Linlang put away her playful thoughts and looked at Chang Qiyu, who was headed by him, but saw that his face was stiff and stiff, and the birthday gift he presented was quite satisfactory.
Originally, the second prince should be the first to present the gift, but the emperor appointed Chang Qiyu, and it is estimated that he also wanted to use his name as the god of war in Zeguo to intimidate the envoys of other sea countries.
Sure enough, as soon as Chang Qiyu came out, the eyes of many envoys became much more vigilant.
Zeguo is warlike and eager to expand, and the biggest threat to them is the first navy and Qi Yu, the god of war.
Except for the Great Qin Battle, Chang Qiyu basically never missed a beat, and some of the state envoys who had fought with Chang Qiyu at the scene also hated him so much.
Seeing that Qi Yu was about to retire after presenting the gift, a Haiguo envoy suddenly said.
"I heard that the third prince Wentao's martial arts, especially the giant sword, is amazing. I wonder if the foreign ministers have the honor to learn two tricks with the third prince to help the birthday banquet?"
As soon as he said these words, the old emperor frowned. The birthday banquet is more fun than fighting? Is this man juggling his prince as a performer
