We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Qing was in high spirits. He raised his glass and said, "I am deeply pleased to have arrived here today on my northern tour. Under Fengguo's governance, the country is peaceful and the people are safe and content. This is truly a blessing for me and for Daqing!"

All the ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Che stood up and bowed respectfully to Emperor Qing, saying, "I, your son, have been so deeply loved by you. I will dedicate myself to the service of the Qing Empire, and will do my utmost to contribute to the well-being of the country until my death."

Emperor Qing laughed heartily, patted Li Che on the shoulder, and said, "Okay! I believe you!"

Afterwards, Emperor Qing toasted with his ministers, discussing the past and present, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Li Che ordered the Korean women's group to go on stage.

The performance for Emperor Qing naturally cannot be too excessive or too cool.

But after all, they were a girl group trained by Li Che himself. Even if they were wearing normal clothes, they made the Daqing civil and military officials present stare wide-eyed.

The graceful dancers danced lightly with their clothes fluttering in the wind, like fairies from heaven descending to earth, dazzling the eyes.

There were also musicians playing melodious and graceful music, which was gentle and lingering, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

Poetry, books, rituals and music were very important social forms in ancient times.

This thing is something played by nobles and wealthy families, and rarely enters the lives of ordinary people. Anything played by this group of people has a "noble" attribute.

Li Che didn't think it was anything interesting, but Emperor Qing and the civil and military officials were fascinated by it and nodded in praise.

At this moment, the style of the music suddenly changed.

Clang—clang—

The Goryeo dancers retreated like a tide, and the melodious music like flowing water gradually turned into the clanging sound of metal clashing.

As the wine glasses were clinking, the music suddenly changed. Just a moment ago, there was light singing and dancing, but in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by the sound of steel and iron horses.

The drum beats are like thunder, stirring people's hearts, and the flute sounds are sharp, like the sound of metal and stone hitting each other, making a clanging sound.

The rulers and ministers of Daqing looked at each other in bewilderment; this sudden change caught them off guard.

Emperor Qing frowned slightly and looked at Li Che in confusion.

Li Che did not show any panic at all. Instead, he looked solemn, his back straight, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

The same was true for the civil and military officials around him. Their relaxed expressions were swept away, replaced by a solemnity, as if they were welcoming some sacred ceremony.

This piece of music, with its sudden change of style, is grand and majestic, completely different from the previous melody.

Sometimes it is like a rushing mountain torrent, unstoppable; sometimes it is like swords and horses, the battle shaking the sky; sometimes it is like weeping and complaining, low and tragic.

There is an indescribable power in the music that makes people's blood boil and their hearts surge.

In addition to Emperor Qing, the military generals on the Daqing side, led by Zhu Chun, also heard different meanings in the music.

This is not ordinary palace music, but is filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, with a strong smell of iron and blood.

"What's the name of this song?" Emperor Qing finally couldn't help but ask.

Huo Duanxiao, who was standing below, stood up and bowed deeply to Emperor Qing. He said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, this piece of music is called 'Feng Wang Po Zhen Yue' (The Music of Breaking the Formation)'. It was composed by my Fengguo musician after seeing His Highness Feng Wang personally leading his troops in battle. It was a song that inspired morale and aims to break through the enemy lines!"

"Oh?" Emperor Qing became interested and motioned him to continue.

Huo Danxiao continued, "In the first battle between Fengguo and Goryeo, our army of 10,000 men defeated the enemy of 100,000. The enemy was outnumbered and the situation was critical. His Royal Highness Prince Feng fought in the battle for the first time, breaking through three enemy formations and personally shooting down the enemy general."

"At that time, a Goryeo musician was among the enemy troops. He witnessed Your Highness's heroic feat with his own eyes and was deeply moved. Upon returning home, he composed this song. When our army later captured Ryugyong, the musician was captured. To save his life, he presented this song to Your Highness."

"Your Highness was delighted to hear it, and the generals, upon hearing it, were filled with passion and their morale was greatly boosted. Therefore, Your Highness named it 'Feng Wang Po Zhen Yue' (The Music of Breaking the Formation)' and made it the military anthem of the Fengtian Army."

As Huo Duanxiao continued his story, the music entered its climax.

The drumbeats were like dense raindrops, hammering at the hearts of everyone present. The flute sounds were sharp and high-pitched, while the string music was low and sobbing, like a mourning for the fallen heroes.

The whole hall was filled with the passionate music, making people feel as if they were on a battlefield with swords and spears.

Emperor Qing then understood why the rulers and ministers of Feng State were so solemn when they heard this music.

This is not just a piece of music, but also a spiritual symbol.

The Qing generals were so excited that they couldn't wait to mount their horses and kill the enemy.

Even Emperor Qing recalled the bloody storms he experienced when the country was founded, and his heart, which had been calm for many years, began to beat a little faster.

As the music gradually came to an end, the drumbeats gradually subsided and the flute sounds became melodious and graceful.

After the cruelty of war, there comes the dawn of peace.

But that passionate melody still echoes in people's hearts and cannot fade away for a long time.

Emperor Qing raised his glass and said to Li Che, "This song is passionate and inspiring! Che'er is worthy of being the General of Heavenly Strategy, appointed by me personally. The soldiers serving the country are also brave and fearless! I offer a toast to you all!"

Li Che quickly raised his glass in response, saying, "Thank you, Father, for your praise! I, Feng Guoding, will be loyal to you for generations to come and protect the peace and stability of our Daqing!"

Everyone agreed and picked up their glasses to drink.

For a moment, the hall was filled with loving fathers and filial sons, and all the guests and hosts were happy.

No one noticed that when Emperor Qing put down his wine glass, a barely perceptible strange color flashed in his eyes.

There was also a faint smile on Li Che's lips.

This "Feng Wang Po Zhen Music" was inspired by the previous life's "Qin Wang Po Zhen Music", and its creation was not as legendary as Huo Duanxiao said.

What about the enemy musicians being intimidated and suddenly inspired to write...

All these stories were made up just to add a bit of legendary color to this song.

Just like Liu Bang killing the white snake, it was a common trick used by ancient people to control public opinion.

In fact, this piece of music was created by Li Che who summoned the Fengguo musicians. It was based on the military music of the past and incorporated some elements of military bugles to create the "Fake Qin King Breaking the Formation Music".

The purpose of Li Che playing this music at this time is actually very simple, which is to show his military achievements!

Emperor Qing reminded Li Che about the matter of the generals of the National Protection Army. Although it also expressed his magnanimity, Li Che did not like this kind of covert threat.

This move is to tell Emperor Qing that his son has grown stronger and is no longer the weak Sixth Prince who could only bang his head against the pillar in the hall to express his determination. Now his son's sword is not at all disadvantageous!

Not to mention that Emperor Qing doesn't care about the National Protection Army, what if he holds on to it?

When Li Che was forced into a corner, all he could do was use a series of tricks like "The Fengtian Army Enters the Pass", "Wear more clothes when it's cold", "You have caused me so much trouble", and "Long Live His Majesty"!
