    In the sixth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Yuan led hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Qin State in three directions. The force was overwhelming. In less than three months, Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, was captured. The Qin Emperor Lu Chao committed suicide, and the country was in chaos for hundreds of years.  The Seven Kingdoms fought for supremacy. Counting from the day when Gao Yuan raised his troops in Fufeng, after eighteen years, the Han Empire founded by Gao Yuan defeated the Seven Kingdoms and unified the world.  In the summer of the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Gao Yuan led his troops back to the capital Jicheng, where he handed over military power, retired to the harem, and no longer interfered with political and military affairs.  The Han Empire formed a three-power separation situation in which the Chief Minister of the Political Affairs Hall was in power, the Great Council was the highest authority, the army was subordinate to the Great Council, and the judiciary was completely independent.  The emperor completely became the symbol of the empire and would only appear in public during important festivals and sacrifices.  The Han Empire, which pacified the world, began a long and arduous internal construction process. It was easy to conquer the world, but difficult to build the world, but it was difficult to let the people live a better life. An unprecedentedly large empire, with a rapidly increasing population after the war, the world everywhere  The different levels of economic development in different regions have made all the ministers in the political hall anxious.  The Great Council is still noisy, fighting, and fussing. It seems to be extremely chaotic, but the empire is still developing steadily. Although Emperor Gao Yuan is not involved in political affairs at all, the rulers of the Political Hall often encounter difficulties.  When the matter was resolved, he ran to the palace and begged His Majesty the Emperor to come out and solve the problem. Only then would Gao Yuan appear in the Great Council to mediate the conflicts between the parties and balance the interests of all parties.  Gao Yuan's unparalleled influence in the Han Empire can finally dissolve all irreconcilable conflicts into invisible existence, and can also make sworn enemies shake hands and have a happy conversation.  The prefectures and counties of the Han State that became rich first formed a pair with the poor and backward remote areas to help each other. Especially for the territories of the former Qin State that were hardest hit, the central government also strengthened support, allowing the economies of these places to develop rapidly.  In a short period of time, the people basically solved the problem of hunger. As time went by, the rebels in the Qin State, led by the lurking Gou Yi, were finally exhausted.  Besieged on all sides, he surrendered to the government in desperation. Gou Yi was arrested and taken to Jicheng, where he was tried by the Supreme Court.  Sentenced to twenty years in prison.  On the day of the trial, in addition to Gou Yi's old opponents, there was also a special person who was observing the trial. That was his nephew who Gou Yi asked Tang He to bring to the Han Dynasty.  Now his nephew has become an official of the Jicheng garrison in the Great Han Dynasty.  The uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried.  The fate of his nephew also made Gou Yi feel ashamed. When he walked out of the court, he knelt down towards the Han Palace and kowtowed three times.  In the eighth year of the Han Dynasty, the currency system was unified across the country, and the last territory of the former Qin State that used gold and silver for silver transactions also officially abolished direct gold and silver transactions.  In the ninth year of the Han Dynasty, the national script was unified. The fonts uniformly printed and issued by the Han Culture and Propaganda Department became the national script, and other scripts were abolished.  The ten years of the Han Dynasty were led by Gao Yuan.  In the Political Hall, headed by the Great Council, the first constitution of the Han Dynasty, which had been brewing for ten years, was officially passed and promulgated to the world.  The Constitution established the constitutional monarchy of the Han Empire, with the emperor as the symbol of the empire, the Zhengshitang as the country's highest governing body, the Great Council as the country's highest legislative body, and the Supreme Court as the country's highest judicial body.  In the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire began the first election of the Great Council after the promulgation of the Constitution.  After unification, the fifty-six counties whose administrative divisions were redrawn were allocated quotas according to their economic development level and population, and 668 deputies were elected.  In the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty, the term of the second chief minister Yan Shenghao has expired.  Yan Shenghao announced that he will run for the next chief minister due to age.  The second minister in power, Yan Shenghao, retired contentedly with the reputation of unifying the world. The day after announcing his retirement, he went straight to the bank of Dayan Lake happily.  To be elected as the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, you only need to be jointly recommended by ten major members, but this time, there is still only Wu Qi.  Fang Shu and Tian Yuanyuan announced their candidacy, and the three parties fought fiercely. In the end, Tian Yuanyuan, who was the first to be defeated, turned to Wu Qi, allowing the veteran minister Wu Qi to defeat Fang Shu and be elected as the chief minister.  Fang Shu, on the other hand, stepped back and became the speaker of the Great Council.  The ambitious Wu Qi did very well during his first term. Focusing on the domestic people's livelihood, he did an excellent job in developing the domestic economy. The domestic economy developed rapidly and the people's living standards improved rapidly. In the 16th year of the Han Dynasty,  , Wu Qi, whose first term expired, was elected again, defeating Fang Shu with an absolute advantage.  But during his second term, he suffered a huge setback.  Domestic economic development has reached a bottleneck. Domestic inflation is surging, and a large amount of goods produced have nowhere to sell. Wu Qi, who focused on domestic development, ignored overseas expansion, and continued to reduce military expenses on the pretext of no war, which also caused problems in both the navy and land services.  In the eighteenth year of the Han Dynasty, Wu Qi received a vote of no confidence initiated by the Great Council. More than two-thirds of the Great Council supported Wu Qi's resignation, and Wu Qi sadly resigned.  Fang Shu took over halfway, but the stall that was handed over to himIt's not that easy to solve.  This year, Fang Shu was not yet forty years old and was in his prime of youth. After taking over as chief minister, he immediately passed the Overseas Colonization Act. The two fleets of the Han Dynasty, which had been idle for nearly ten years, once again launched a cross-sea attack.  At the end of the 18th century, Li Quan led his troops to the African continent again.  In the 19th year, Yang Qingyi led another fleet to discover America. The Han army set foot on these two continents and found another sales market for the Han's domestic goods. Countless merchant ships once again formed a mighty ship.  Team, heading to the distant overseas.  Amidst all this commotion, Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty has been immersed in the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Han Dynasty that he founded, leading a group of madmen to study the great invention that the emperor claimed would change the world.  .  The political hall expressed great welcome to the emperor's failure to do his job, because as the founding emperor, Gao Yuan did not care about political affairs, and the constitution also established that the emperor had no right to interfere in political affairs. But if Gao Yuan had a whim, one day he would go to the Great Council and shout, "I  To take back all the power, keep those big congressmen who don¡¯t even dare to fart.  The generals of the army will applaud happily.  During the years when Wu Qi was in power, it was common for generals in the army to cry outside the palace. Of course, in the end, it was not the emperor who came out to receive them, but the fierce Yang Dasha carrying a stick.  , come out and beat the shit out of these guys.  The emperor¡¯s attitude is obvious, but no one can guarantee that the emperor will always be like this.  It is naturally the best if the emperor can concentrate on one thing and have no time to think about it. Therefore, the political affairs hall has always been very generous with the funds of the Royal Academy of Sciences.  As long as you ask, it will be paid immediately, never until the next day.  Even the big bosses in the political hall need to save money and get paid less.  They had absolutely nothing to say.  What is Gao Yuan doing?  He led a group of people to study steam engines.  From agricultural civilization to industrial society, this thing is an absolute weapon.  The twenty-fifth year since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the experimental site of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Han Dynasty.  The rumbling sound of machines resounded throughout the Academy of Sciences. Inside the closed factory building, a huge machine was roaring.  And he had been working continuously for a day and a night, and His Majesty Gao Yuan, the great emperor of the Han Empire, also stayed in the building of the Academy of Sciences for a day and a night, occasionally taking a nap, and when he woke up, he would immediately care whether the machine was still there.  roar.  "Your Majesty, we succeeded." A technician in charge of this research burst into tears, knelt down in front of Gao Yuan and cried loudly for ten years.  It took them ten years in total. Since Emperor Gao Yuan proposed this idea, the Academy of Sciences has been tirelessly conducting this research for ten years. Out of their fanatical trust in the emperor, they have never raised any doubts about this project.  Time and countless money were spent, and today, he finally succeeded in running it continuously without any problems.  For ten years he has been more fanatical and lofty than these mechanics.  At this time, he was surprisingly calm.  He walked to the window of the building, holding on to the window lattice, looking at the billowing smoke coming out of the chimney of the closed factory building not far away, and whispered: "A great era has begun." Yes.  In a great era, the invention of the steam engine not only brought about a revolution in production relations, but also brought about a huge change in social relations.  The Han Dynasty has been in power for thirty years, and Gao Yuan has been in power for thirty years.  Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Han Dynasty, especially after the invention of the steamer machine. In just five years, the changes in the Han Dynasty exceeded those in the past hundreds of years.  Machine tools appeared in factories, and machines were replacing labor. The roar brought huge productivity, and a large number of workers began to lose their jobs. In order to transform domestic conflicts, the Han Dynasty accelerated the pace of expansion outside Han Dynasty. This year, Li Quan led his fleet  , set foot on the land of Europa.  The Han soldiers, equipped with the latest machine-produced rifles, effortlessly captured city-states one after another.  However, for some unknown reason, Emperor Gao Yuan suggested that the Zhengshitang should not bring these overseas colonies under the formal rule of the Han Dynasty. However, the Zhengshitang rejected Emperor Gao Yuan's suggestion. Fang Shu quoted Emperor Gao Yuan's previous words that let the sun  The yellow dragon flag of Han was planted wherever it was raised.  The Zhengshitang, which did not listen to the emperor's advice, soon suffered huge hardships. The Han army that marched straight into Europe suffered a disastrous defeat. The modern army relied more heavily on logistics. The consequence of going deep into the land was that it was  The escape route was cut off, logistics was cut off, and thousands of soldiers fled to Europe.  When the news came, the whole country was in an uproar. Fang Shu, the chief minister of the Political Affairs Hall, resigned and Admiral Li Quan also resigned sadly after his return.  After the new chief minister came to power, the navy once again organized a larger fleet, led by another admiral Yang Qingyi, and once again embarked on a journey. This time, YangThe first flagship was replaced by the first steam engine-powered warship produced by Dahan. However, this time, the new ruling minister accepted the emperor's suggestion. In addition to guns and cannons, Yang Qing waved the ship.  Diplomats carry copies of agreements with them.  In the same year that Europa was defeated, Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty was sixty years old. He announced his retirement, and the position of emperor was handed over to his son Gao Zhiyuan.  Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty spent his whole life creating pioneering achievements that others could not imagine. When he retired at the age of sixty, he set a new precedent.  The consequence of this move was that the Great Council officially decided that sixty is the legal age for retirement.  The second year after Gao Yuan retired, Xin Qin, which bordered the Han Empire, could no longer withstand the silent invasion from its neighboring country. With the invention of the train, the railway tracks from the Han Dynasty were laid to the capital of Xin Qin.  Finally bowing his head, Wang Jian, who was almost in his twilight years, dragged his body riddled with injuries and took a train to Jicheng. He reached an agreement with Gao Zhiyuan, the second emperor of the Han Dynasty, to ensure the royal status of the New Qin Kingdom and the internal affairs of the New Qin to the greatest extent possible.  Under the conditions of independence, New Qin will hand over its national defense, diplomatic and other powers to the Han Empire, and New Qin will become a federal state of the Han Empire.  The two countries became one, and the whole world rejoiced, especially Xin Qin.  Since the founding of the country, this country has had a strong shadow of the Han Kingdom. Although Wang Jian has tried his best to remove this shadow during his decades of governance, he has achieved little success.  Finally, after he realized that he was unable to reverse the situation, he raised his hands and surrendered. This also made the people of Xin Qin extremely excited, because the two countries became one.  This also means that they will become citizens of the Han Empire, and they will also enjoy the rights of citizens of the Han Empire. Although it will take them a long time to fight for it, since they have taken the first step, the second step will be  Too far?  ??In the winter of the 50th year of the Han Dynasty, the white snow covered the entire Jicheng with a layer of silver. The capital that should have been noisy fell silent on this day, for no other reason.  Just because Dahan Daily and Jicheng Evening News were published early in the morning, they coincidentally published a bombshell news on the front page.  Gao Yuan, the founder of the Han Dynasty and the first emperor, was critically ill. This year, Gao Yuan was eighty years old.  Lying in the thick quilt, Gao Yuan opened his somewhat hazy eyes and looked at his son, daughter, and grandchildren kneeling in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face. His partners and lovers were there.  In the past few years.  They have left him one after another.  "I'm leaving, I'm going to find your mother!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, Ye Jing'er and He Lanyan passing by in front of his eyes.  The figures of Ning Xin and the three of them were smiling and floating in the air, waving to him.  Under the bed, there were bursts of sobbing sounds.  Outside the bedroom, waiting anxiously were the rulers of the Han Empire¡¯s Political Hall and the leaders of the army.  A new generation has replaced the old ones. The current senior leaders of the Han Empire are no longer the old people who followed Gao Yuan to conquer the world. Over the years, Gao Yuan's old subordinates have basically left. Even the strongest Yang Dasha died of illness last year.  .  Except for the current emperor Gao Zhiyuan, the other children and grandchildren kowtowed to Gao Yuan one by one and left the bedroom, while the leaders of the political hall and the military leaders were called in.  "Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down.  Gao Yuan raised his first finger: "First, the political system of the Han Empire will never change." "I obey the decree!" the chief consul said loudly.  "Second, the military is never allowed to interfere in politics." "I obey the order!" The two military leaders, water and land, kowtowed and accepted the order.  "Third!" Gao Yuan lowered his hand and looked at them with a smile: "I, Gao Yuan, was not originally from this world, but I created a huge career in this world. After my death, my body was cremated and half of it was left behind.  Here, accompanying my deceased wife, I boarded a warship and went to the sea, floating in the wind. I hope that God can take me back to the original world and see the hometown of my previous life. "  All the people were turned to stone. They really couldn't understand what Gao Yuan was saying, but Gao Yuan's order was clear. The body was cremated, half of it was buried with the three ladies, and the other half went to the sea and died with the wind.  There was heavy snow in the sky, and countless people began to gather in the direction of the palace. More and more people had to be diverted. In front of the palace, in front of the parliament building, all places that could be filled with people were filled with people. Everyone was watching.  In the same place, the palace of the Han Empire, although it is not the highest authority of the Han Empire, it is home to the most respected people in the Han Empire.  The heavy snow made the palace fall into a haze. They could not see the outline of the palace clearly, but they still looked hard.  When the first bell rang, everyone's spirits suddenly became tense. The bells rang continuously. Some people knelt down, and then more and more people knelt down.??, when the eighty-one bells finished ringing, everyone could almost hear the bells and knelt down facing the palace.  The founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Gao Yuan, passed away.  Telegrams followed the radio waves to every corner of the Han Dynasty, and newspapers were sold out in the shortest possible time. The newspapers not only contained the news of the death of Emperor Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty, but also contained Gao Yuan's last wishes.  Last words, except for the last one which has been slightly modified.  Because neither Gao Zhiyuan nor the ministers could understand the meaning of Gao Zhiyuan's last statement, they could only modify the last statement to read that the emperor wanted his ashes to be blown away by the wind and fall in every corner of the Han Dynasty to protect him forever.  The peace of the great man.  The entire Han Dynasty fell into sorrow, even in those places conquered by the Han Dynasty. Although the unification war caused thousands of people to die, the living people have enjoyed the happiness brought to them by Gaoyuan for generations.  Ten days later, as the train whistle blew, the train escorting half of Gao Yuan¡¯s ashes headed for Cangzhou. Along the railway tracks, countless people knelt by the roadside, and there were endless incense burners.  Dozens of the latest naval steam engine warships of the Han Navy ushered in the ashes of Gao Yuan.  After sailing for half a day, the originally gloomy weather suddenly became cloudless due to the unexpected breeze, and a scorching sun leaped high in the sky.  Gao Zhiyuan stood on the tall bow of the ship, stretched out his trembling hands, picked up his father's bones, and raised them high, the wind passed by, and the ashes disappeared with the wind.  The cannons on dozens of warships fired salutes at the same time.  In the sky, there were clouds coming from the horizon with the wind and flying above the warship. The clouds were changing and slowly formed a large human shape in the sky. Their voices, faces, smiles and faces seemed to be the same as those far away. The clouds moved with the wind.  , seemed to be waving goodbye to everyone.  Such a strange sight made everyone who went out to sea stunned. After a moment of silence, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded on the sea, and everyone knelt on the deck.  ??The breeze blew, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the sky was still blue.     I'm home!  (To be continued.)
