Cold wind kills the old year, firecrackers welcome the new year.

It was the 30th of the twelfth lunar month again. Yongan City was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The temple fair for the New Year had already begun before the New Year. This year, there were more than twice as many people attending the temple fair as in previous years. The main road of Yongan City was crowded with people. The voices of selling, chatting, laughing and various acrobatic performances could not be heard. It was very lively..

A child of about seven or eight years old, with patches on his cotton-padded clothes, was running ahead with a string of red sugar-coated haws. A girl, slightly younger than the boy and wearing a slightly damaged flower-coated jacket, was chasing after him."Brother, brother, give Nini a taste of the sugar-coated haws.

"No, no, no.

When the two children chased and fought, they did not see the three men in front wearing coir raincoats and hats. They could not see their faces clearly. The boy bumped into one of the men and the sugar gourd flew out and fell to the ground..

"Sorry, Uncle, I didn't mean to..

"The little boy's face is uncomfortable, I don't know if it's guilt after hitting people or regret that sugar gourd fell to the ground.".

The man did not pay attention to the child who was lowering his head and apologizing. The three of them walked straight towards the palace..

"What a weirdo. You ignore me. Even if I'm wrong, isn't it a little too much to ignore me?.

The boy looked back at his sister and complained.

"It's good that he didn't blame you for being hit by you. Go quickly. Don't let anyone come back and teach you a lesson. Also, the candied haws are mine. You can still eat them after washing them. Hehe..

The little girl said as she picked up the sugar gourd that fell on the ground and laughed and ran away."Nini, wait for me, wait for me, eat together. Don't think about eating it alone.".

The boy hastened to catch up, and the two children played and chased and disappeared into the crowd..

Yong 'an City was the capital of Jin' an Dynasty. It was built in the shape of a circle. The outer city was the place where officials and commoners lived, while the inner city was Jin 'an Royal Palace. Walking along the bustling Outer City Lord Road to the inner city, one could see a solemn and luxurious royal palace. Today, Jin' an Royal Palace was also bustling with well-trained maids and eunuchs. They were busy preparing various items for the New Year's Eve banquet. There was no panic in the tension..

Bright red lanterns hung all over the pavilions and halls of the palace. Rows of lanterns were like fire dragons that wanted to fly into the sky and tell the sky about the celebration at this moment..

Countless fireworks were placed on the square in front of the main hall of the palace according to the plan carefully arranged by the ceremonial officer, waiting for the most beautiful brilliance when the banquet started..

In the palace kitchen, chefs raised their knives and prepared various precious ingredients to make final preparations for the upcoming New Year's Eve banquet..

"Master, Master, I heard from Little Tuanzi that recently, many people said that they saw sinister shadows flash past the rockery and lake. It was extremely terrifying. Do you think there is something unclean in our palace?.

An apprentice-like teenager washed the dishes while shrinking to look at the chef who was concentrating on processing the ingredients next to him..

"Stop talking and hurry up. If you delay His Majesty's banquet, believe it or not, I'll make you dirty..

The chef glared at the youth and freed his hand to hit the back of the youth's head. The youth felt pain, rubbed his head, stuck out his tongue, and continued to concentrate on washing the dishes. He no longer spoke..

Outside the Wenhua Pavilion in King Jin 'an's study, two figures, one big and one small, were playing..

The older one was Chu Boping, the eldest son of King Jin 'an. He was seventeen years old and seven feet and six minutes tall. He was tall and strong. He had a handsome face and sharp eyebrows. He was dressed in a white coat decorated with gold threads. He wore a white fox fur coat, a white jade hair crown and black boots. Behind him was a huge wooden box, which was incompatible with his clothes..

Next to him was a boy named Chu Zhongan, wearing a bright yellow silk cotton-padded jacket, cotton pants, a tiger hat and tiger-head cotton boots. He was the second son of King Jin 'an. Although he was only two years old, he was as tall as a three-year-old child. He was white and plump, and his chubby face was like a porcelain doll. His big, budding eyes rolled around, and he always looked mischievous.

"Brother, is this box behind you a New Year gift for me? What good thing is it? Hurry up and untie it for me to see..

Little Zhong 'an pointed at the wooden box behind Chu Boping and wanted to jump up, but he was too young to reach the bottom of the box..

"Little Stone, be good. This is not a toy. This is a strange object that brother worked hard to get..

"Chen Boping's spoiled embrace of Xiao Zhong 'an.

"Strange things, I want to see them all the more, give them to me, give them to me.

"Little Zhong 'an is not honest in Chen Boping's arms, and he wants to go to the box.".

"If you don't behave yourself, I'll punish you..

Chen Boping threw Xiao Zhongan into the air and caught it steadily..

"Father, help! My brother is bullying me..

"Little Zhong 'an is dissatisfied with the shouting.

In Wenhua Pavilion, an elegant and distinguished middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe picked up the teacup on the sandalwood square table and lightly sipped the steaming tea with a smile on his determined face. He quietly looked at the scene outside the door. He was the ruler of Jin 'an Dynasty. Chu Youjian, the king who could command the wind and rain in Jin' an Dynasty, looked at his child like an ordinary middle-aged father. He did not say a word for a long time. It seems that something has stirred up, and I am lost in thought..

：.

"I wish you were still here," he said,"to see my two sons grow up healthy and safe, and to see the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty.".

The King of Israel is silent, breathing heavily..

Two years ago, Empress Gu Zai of Jin 'an died of illness shortly after giving birth to Chu Zhongan. King Jin' an vowed never to marry again. From then on, he was more diligent in government affairs and devoted himself to governance. Jin 'an's national strength increased day by day..

Two middle-aged men stood respectfully beside the king. One wore Confucian clothes. He looked ordinary, expressionless, and his eyes sparkled. He was Xu Wenruo, Marquis of Xuanping, and the chief counselor of Jin 'an..

Another middle-aged man named Sun Zheping, dressed in a green robe, had a strong physique, a firm face, and a slightly raised temple. He actually carried a sword beside the king, looking like a guard. His real identity was also a counselor. He was conferred the title of Marquis Wu 'an by the current King of Jin' an..

Under the assistance of Jin 'an civil officials such as two advisers, the three iron armies of Jin' an Dynasty successively attacked and occupied most counties and cities in Yingzhou within two years. Now, Jin 'an Dynasty has occupied Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yingzhou in Jiuzhou of the Central Plains alone, which is likely to unify the Central Plains..

The auspicious time had arrived. All officials and officials entered Chang 'an Palace from Donghua Gate. They walked through a long white marble corridor and entered Chang' an Palace. King Jin 'an, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was already sitting on the dragon chair in Chang' an Palace, overlooking below..

On both sides of Chang 'an Palace, pear wood tables and chairs had been set up, which were filled with delicacies and rare foods contained in various gold dishes. The gold cups were also filled with fragrant wine. Behind each table stood a waiter..

The civil and military officials were seated on both sides according to their ranks. The first one on the left was a man who looked seven points similar to King Jin 'an, but was slightly younger and stronger. His name was Chu Youshe. He was the second son of the former King of Jin' an and a sister of the current King of Jin 'an. He was conferred the title of Duke of Anguo by the former King and served as the former general. He commanded the strongest Huben Army of the three armies of Jin' an Dynasty. After that, he was the commander of the other two armies and other generals in the upper palace..

On the right is the left prime minister of Jin 'an, the head of civil officials, Jia Shanchang, Duke of Xingguo, and Xu Wenruo, the counselor. His seat is second only to the right prime minister and is the third. There is no trace of Sun Zheping among civil and military officials..

The two princes sat slightly in front of the officials. The central axis of the hall separated them and faced His Majesty. Xiao Zhongan was full of energy and did not want to be restrained. After looking around, he wanted to escape. However, his brother grabbed him back and gave him a big explosion. Suddenly, his eyes blurred and he no longer moved..

Chu Bo was dressed in plain white python clothes, and a simple wooden box was placed beside him. From time to time, officials would look at him and whisper," The prince has always been calm. Why did he bring such a strange item to the palace on such a grand occasion?".

"Strange, strange, could it be a gift for King Jin 'an?""Alright, it's all the king's family business. How can we discuss it? Be careful that His Majesty blames us. We can't afford it.".

King Chu of Jin 'an picked up his wine glass and stood up. He said loudly,"My dear ministers, I have relied on you all for such a situation in Jin' an Dynasty. You have worked hard for a long time. Today is the festival. You and I will have fun and drink together. We will not return until we are drunk.".

Drink the wine in your cup..

All of them fell to their knees and shouted,"Peace be upon you forever.".

Then he stood up and drank his glass..

A group of graceful and beautiful dancers entered the hall and danced to the elegant music. Their bodies were soft like dragons and their sleeves fluttered like wind..
