The fifth year of Tianan, the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.
The government's yamen began their holidays.
But Chen Fan couldn't get down, because the Ministry of Industry finally completed the construction of the Empire's communications network before the New Year's Eve, and built a giant projection screen in every town center with a population of more than 100,000.
The Empire News Media immediately followed suit and started public opinion campaigns, vigorously propagating that this year's 30th will be different.
Because His Majesty the Emperor will spend the New Year with the people of the whole country in a special way.
With such a strong political signal, local officials naturally took the lead in propaganda.
At the same time, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which had just been established not long ago, also began to promote a novel gadget called TV to the people.
At first, the people were still skeptical about the strange things like TV. After all, the ‘thousand-mile eyes and the wind’s ears’ are the magical powers of the gods in the sky, so how can they be put into a small iron box to be used by ordinary people like them?
But when the empire’s major shopping malls put the physical objects on the counter and demonstrated them in person, the people’s enthusiasm for buying was immediately aroused.
So much so that electrical factories that have been paved all over the country are in short supply.
The Empire ushered in the New Year in a lively atmosphere.
On New Year’s Eve, many people in the empire added an entertainment activity besides eating New Year’s Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers, that is, they watched the legendary Spring Festival Gala performance in front of the TV. Your majesty will show up.
People are naturally looking forward to seeing the holy face.
It doesn't matter if you can't afford a TV at home, because the huge screens set up in the center of major towns in advance are used to broadcast the gala.
Therefore, in order to join in the excitement, many people gathered in various town centers to watch the performance together. The warm atmosphere directly dispelled the cold of the twelfth lunar month.
At 20 o'clock in the evening, Tianan time, the long-awaited gala finally started, and the entire empire seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Until the end of the joyous opening song, a black babe in full costume appeared on the screens of thousands of households, and immediately caused a tsunami-like exclamation.
There are also countless people kneeling directly in front of the TV and shouting at the black ba on the screen: "Your Majesty, fortune."
Hei Ba expressed his congratulations with a beaming expression, then looked forward to a bright future, and finally encouraged all the people of the empire to work together to build the empire.
The eloquent TV speech lasted ten minutes, but it was enough to be well-known in the annals of the empire.
Immediately, the lively performance of the party began, how did the singing, dancing, opera, and the cross talk come about lively and festive.
It was also the first time for the people of the Empire to watch such a wonderful performance. Naturally, they were excited and hard to control.
The gala lasted two hours, but in the eyes of many people, it seemed that only one meal had passed.
The countdown to the last moment of the party even pushed the festive atmosphere of the entire empire to a climax, and the rest of the wave even left many people awake in excitement.
The sixth year of Tianan, the first day of the new year.
Chen Fan got up early to wash and dress up, and then went up the mountain with Heiba and the Bamboo Rat King to pay a New Year greeting to Yu Jia first, and then received the courtesy greetings from the officials.
At noon, Hei Ba feasted on the officials, and then rewarded those who had done meritorious service in the past year.
The officials were so excited to receive the emperor's personal awards, wishing to show their loyalty immediately.
In addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, officials who did not win the prize also secretly watched.
After all, there is an unwritten rule in the court, that is, if an official fails to receive the emperor's award for three consecutive years, then his official will basically do it well.
The best end is nothing more than sending to a barren land to open up territory for the empire.
Because the empire never raises idlers.
Especially those in high positions, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at every moment.
"Lao Li Ge, I recently heard that you like to have a precious son. It's really an old tree blooming." Chen Fan came to Li Feng to toast with his wine glass.
Li Feng hurriedly got up and replied: "The old man thanked the king Jiyan."
Chen Fan asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, you have been sitting at the cabinet's first assistant position for several years, right?"
"It's been two years since I returned to the king." While guessing the meaning of Chen Fan's words, Li Feng answered honestly: "The old man was specially recruited into the cabinet when he was favored by the emperor in the third year of Tian'an."
Of course, Chen Fan knows that because he recommended the five ministers to Hei Ba, two of them are humans, and the other three are three old demon masters on the Tongtian Peak who will end their lives. Basically, I live a life of mixed food and death.
After Chen Fan arranged these three old monsters into the cabinet, it seemed that their second spring was glowing. For Hei Ba's will, it is absolutely unconditional and quasi-obedience and firm execution.
The main role of Li Feng is to coordinate the operation of the civil and military officials and various yamen, along with the emperor's microphone.
As for the other Li Yuan, he is also an old Wuzhu from the Wu clan, who is good at observing astronomical phenomena and calculating calendars.
"Well, do it well." Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder and chuckled lightly: "Your credit lies in the emperor's heart. Your Majesty UU will never forget it. This king also sees it in his eyes."
Li Feng quickly thanked him again.
Chen Fan had a drink with him, then turned to talk to other ministers.
"Lao Li Ge." Li Yuan approached Li Feng with a wine glass, and asked with a smile: "I just saw you and the king have a good time, what happy event is there?"
Li Feng said indifferently: "The king just came to congratulate my son, and nothing else."
Li Yuan was slightly surprised: "I only talked about this?"
"Otherwise?" Li Feng glanced diagonally.
Li Yuan immediately understood that King Tuntian was giving Li Feng a reassurance, let him not think about it.
"Lao Li Ge is really a blessing." There was a sour smell in Li Yuan's envious tone.
Li Feng smiled lightly and said: "It is your majesty's grace to have today's old man, there is no blessing from your majesty."
"Yeah, what Li Ge said." Li Yuan gave a dry smile, toasted a glass of wine, and turned away dingy.
Li Feng stared at his back and shook his head slightly, secretly saying that this person is just a in the hands of others, but he can't recognize his position. I am afraid that he has been sitting in this position for a while.
After the lively luncheon, the civil and military officials dispersed one after another, and would not continue to go to court until after the 15th Lantern Festival.
Hei Ba was finally able to relax and slipped out of the palace to find the private meeting of the Miaoyun Demon King.
And Chen Fan took Yu Jia, a group of girls, the bamboo rat king, and the second sister-in-law on a dragon boat to go to Liuhuo mainland for vacation.
Because it was a vacation, the dragon boat did not fly at the fastest speed, but slowly flew towards Liuhuo Continent next to the sea at low altitude.
The blue sea and blue sky all the way, the scenery is magnificent.
A few girls scurried like crazy on the spacious deck.
Chen Fan was lying on a chair wearing sunglasses and brushing his phone, when suddenly he smelled a scent of fragrance.
