The most arrogant in history

It can be seen that Cherry likes the feeling of being superior, likes to be in the limelight and be admired by everyone.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I will definitely give you the title of princess. Now I will give you another title, which is the Minister of Literature and Art of the Han Dynasty."

"What does the Minister of Arts and Literature do?"

"It is to be responsible for the promotion and development of literature, art, and music. At the same time, it is also necessary to cooperate with the court and do a good job of propaganda to unite the people and promote morality, hygiene, and ideals..."

Ye Kun said: "We now have a large radio and searchlights, so we can hold some large-scale singing and dancing performances. On the one hand, it is to entertain the people, and on the other hand, it is also to promote and publicize culture."

Huangfu Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not bragging, but Yingtao is the most suitable person to take charge of this job."

"I just knew Cherry was the most suitable person, so I appointed her." Ye Kun laughed.

Cherry is now a national star.

Among women, her popularity is second only to that of Empress Jiang Yourong.

There was also a loud broadcast in Huangfu Lin’s army.

Cherry often personally sang to the naval officers and soldiers through the radio to inspire them and boost morale.

Cherry smiled brightly and bowed, "Cherry obeys your order, but I need the emperor's support. Can you write more new songs for me?"

“More than just new songs?”

Ye Kun called Wen Axiu and Liu Hongyu, took out the highlights of the newspapers during this period, and said with a smile:

"Our literary and artistic forms should be rich and diverse. Look at our newspapers. They have jokes, poems, ancient stories, and serial novels...

We can also develop crosstalk, opera, magic and martial arts performances.”

Cherry watched and listened, nodding repeatedly.

Liu Hongyu took out a notebook and said, "This is the Chinese love story dictated by the emperor. We compiled it, including Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall, Cowherd and Weaver Girl crossing the Magpie Bridge, Du Shiniang sinking the treasure chest in anger, The Peacock Flies Southeast... and Hua Mulan joining the army in place of her father. We published it in the newspaper and it was very effective. The officials, civilians, and soldiers in Zhuo County and Xindu all liked to read it."

"I'll have to look at these things for days."

Yingtao smiled from ear to ear and begged Ye Kun: "Your Majesty, please take me and General Huangfu with you on this southern tour. Along the way, I can also organize these literary works and promote them slowly in the future."

Huangfu Lin also said: "I also want to go with the emperor to take a look at the address."

"Okay." Ye Kun nodded:

"Now, there is no war in the East China Sea, so you can go with me to the location and get away. Huangfu Lin and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's chat on the way."

Huangfu Lin and his wife were overjoyed and thanked him.

However, Ye Kun did not allow Shangguan Lin to go to the port, but only let him stay in Huangpu Port to learn about naval life.

Ye Kun planned to stay in Huangpu Port for three days. The next day, he met with Wu Guotai again.

Xiao Ruliu was accompanying him.

Wu Guotai was very polite. She asked about Queen Jiang Yourong and the situation in the palace and expressed her greetings.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Everything is fine with the Empress and the palace. It was just that in the spring, Crown Prince Ye Feng accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms and became delirious and talked nonsense, which frightened the Empress."

Wu Guotai was shocked: "Is someone framing the prince, or is the imperial kitchen not checking the ingredients carefully enough?"

"I don't know." Ye Kun shook his head and sighed:

"I thought at the time that if I investigated this matter thoroughly, people would definitely frame each other, and a large number of people would be implicated, and even people would die. During the witchcraft disaster during the reign of Emperor Wu, tens of thousands of people were executed. I couldn't bear to see such a tragedy, so I dealt with it vaguely and didn't investigate it thoroughly. Fortunately, the crown prince is fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to the queen, and I have to investigate it thoroughly."

Wu Guotai nodded: "Your Majesty is kind and tolerant, and a wise ruler throughout history. But you must be careful about things like this in the future. Especially the safety of the Empress and the Crown Prince, which cannot be compromised."

"The Queen Mother is right. I have already strengthened the management of the palace."

Ye Kun smiled slightly and said, "Ruliu misses her mother. When she returns to Jiangdong this time, let her take the little prince to be filial to the Queen Mother. When I come back from Jiaozhi, I will go back with Ruliu."

Wu Guotai was stunned: "It's against etiquette for the imperial concubine to leave the palace and live in her parents' home for a long time."

In all dynasties, there were many restrictions on imperial concubines.

If the imperial concubine is left outside, what if she commits adultery and cuckolds the emperor?

Xiao Ruliu also said: "I'd better accompany the emperor and take care of him along the way."

"Need not."

Ye Kun shook his head: "Jiaozhi is a place full of smoke and miasma. You and the child must not go there. If you are infected with the virus, won't I regret it for the rest of my life? You can just stay with Guo Tai. When I come back, I will take you back to the capital."

Xiao Ruliu also wanted to accompany her mother, so she agreed reluctantly.

Three days later, Ye Kun and others left Huangpu Port and headed for Qiantang Port.

Qiantang Port was later called Hangzhou Bay.

That night, the treasure ship was sailing on the sea. Cherry stood at the bow and looked at the lighthouse and asked:

"Your Majesty, why can't the lighthouse at our port be higher? If it is higher, won't it shine farther?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "You can ask your General Huangfu about this question."

Huangfu Lin smiled and said:

"The Emperor has explained that the sea is a sphere. If the lighthouse is too low, people far away will be blocked by the sphere and will not be able to see the lighthouse. But if the lighthouse is too high, it will not work either, because there will be clouds in the sky, which will also block the light. Therefore, our port lighthouses are all ten feet high. This height is just right, there is no cloud cover, and it can also illuminate the farthest."

Yingtao smiled and said, "We can also design a multi-layered lighthouse. For example, at a height of ten feet, put a light. At a height of fifteen feet, put another light."

"Doesn't that cost money? You can't do it without money."

Huangfu Lin shook his head and smiled: "Besides, the taller the building, the more troublesome it is to build. It requires strong technical support and costs more money."

Ye Kun nodded: "Cherry's suggestion is actually not bad. In the future, we can set up more lighthouses in the most prosperous ports to form a staggered pattern, which will be more convenient for our fleet and navigation team."

As they were talking, they were approaching the port.

The officials of Qiantang Port came forward to greet them.

Ye Kun stayed in Qiantang Port for a day, then passed through Quanzhou Port and entered the Qiongzhou Strait.

Two days before the Spring Festival, we arrived at Honghe Port in the east of Jiaozhi, which is the exit of the Red River.

Madam Hongyun was seasick. After arriving at Honghe Port, she suddenly became energetic, took off her heavy cotton clothes, and said with a smile:

"Haha, it's great to be back home. Look, here it's spring all year round, and we can even take a bath in the winter!"

Ye Kun dealt Madam Hongyun a ruthless blow: "This is the eastern part of Jiaozhi. Your hometown is in the northwest, at the border between Yunnan and Myanmar. It's still a thousand miles away."

Everyone laughed.

Madam Hongyun rolled her eyes: "I don't care, the South is my hometown anyway."

The accompanying personnel also became more energetic and felt that the climate here was pleasant.

At this time, the new capital of Zhuo County is usually covered with snow.

But in Jiaozhi in the south, there are red flowers and green trees everywhere, so you can wear light clothes!

Song Poliu received the news early and was waiting here to welcome the emperor.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Song Poliu was tanned by the sunshine.

Ye Kun held Song Poliu's hand and sighed:

"Po Liu, you have been in Jiaozhi for three years and have made outstanding contributions. Thank you for your hard work."
