Chapter 551: Promoting National Prestige



This time, the stupid women wanted to show off in front of the country bumpkin Tubo.

Not only was there a golden bronze horse standing in front of his bedroom, it was three meters tall and almost level with the eaves of the palace.

What a spendthrift woman!

What's so good about showing off your wealth?

Cry poor and ask for more military funds and labor fees, wouldn’t that be nice?

In front of the bronze horse, a group of carriages slowly started moving.

This time the carriage was even more magnificent and luxurious than when we went to Mount Tai.

Even if he was just traveling within the palace, he would be accompanied by no less than a thousand guards, all of whom were burly and strong men.

The flags in the team were like clouds. The tallest one was the emperor's imperial flag, which was six feet and three feet long and mounted on a large cart. The flag was painted with a pattern of the sun, moon and rising dragon, and twelve long fiery red tassels hung down to the ground below.

There were dozens of chariots in the team, including standing chariots for standing and comfortable chariots for sitting. According to the five elements and five colors, they were divided into five types: blue, red, yellow, white and black, and were called five-time chariots.

Even the horses pulling the carriage matched the color of the carriage, without any confusion.

All the wheels of the carriage were painted vermilion, the carriage was painted with golden dragons, the seat was a mat woven from animal skins cut into thin strips, and twelve balls woven from golden silk were hung around the carriage.

The handrails of the carriage are painted with tigers, the horse yoke is carved with a dragon head, the balance beam is carved with a phoenix, and the carriage cover is woven with emerald green bird feathers and inlaid with gold floral decorations. Every detail is as exquisite as a work of art.

Each flag in the team has strict standards. In addition to the emperor's imperial flag, there is also a dragon flag symbolizing the princes, which corresponds to the fire of the seven stars of the Azure Dragon in the east. The flag is 49 feet high.

The bird flag symbolizing the prefectures and counties corresponds to the Quail Fire in the southern constellation of Vermillion Bird, and the flag is three zhang and five feet high.

The bear and tiger flag, symbolizing the army, corresponds to the star of Shenfa in the western white tiger constellations. The flag is three zhang and five feet high.

There is also a tortoise flag symbolizing the county, which corresponds to the camp of the seven stars of Xuanwu in the north. The flag is the shortest, but it is still 28 feet tall.

The two most magnificent chariots, one with a golden chariot and the other with a jade chariot, are both used by the emperor. The former is decorated with gold and the latter with jade. Each chariot is drawn by six horses. The horses are snow-white all over, with only their tails dyed red.

What made Qin Yuan even more disgusted was that even the horses were wearing tall golden crowns with long bird tails inserted on them.

It is said that every detail of this carriage has its own metaphorical meaning. The square carriage symbolizes the earth, the round hood symbolizes the sky, the left and right wheels symbolize the sun and the moon, and the twenty-eight bows on the hood correspond to the twenty-eight constellations.

The clouds and stars painted on the car are even more exquisite.

The imperial carriage was getting closer and closer, and the flags covering the sky seemed to carry supreme majesty, shrouding everyone in shadow.

All the ministers bowed deeply as a gesture of respect.

The Tubo envoys who were watching the ceremony were so shocked that they could only see small coins.

The Celestial Empire is a country with abundant resources and a prosperous people. It is indeed true!

Qin Yuan sighed.

What a spendthrift, such a fucking spendthrift.

Senior Brother Chen, Little Murong, don’t you know how to stop them?

Guowei has nothing to boast about.

It's better to suffer in order to save face.

Qin Yuan, who has always been frugal, was speechless. He knew that he had to establish a "family rule" no matter what.
