The most arrogant in history

Chapter 510 verified on the spot.

After Xiahou Chang surrendered, the two places had already started trading. The people of Liaodong had heard of Ye Kun's kindness and were eager for Ye Kun to come to Liaodong as soon as possible and lead everyone to live a good life together.

Ye Kun stood in the open carriage, saluted and waved his hands:

"Long live the elders and fellow countrymen, long live the brothers and sisters!"

Xiahou Chang was stunned.

He didn't expect that Ye Kun had already won the hearts of the people in Liaodong and had a higher prestige than himself.

This also means that Xiahou Chang has lost his last base and can only look up to Ye Kun for a living.

The banquet was already prepared in Xiahou Chang's palace.

Ye Kun sat in the main seat, with the Xiahou sisters beside him.

Xiahou Chang sat in the guest seat, opposite Liu Ai.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have wanted to come to Liaodong for a long time, and today I finally got my wish. Everyone, let's drink together to celebrate that we have not quarreled or argued and have unified China. If we fight another war, I don't know how many more people will die."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Kun said:

"When I came to Xiangping this time, Liu Ai complained about me, saying that I was untrustworthy. Actually, I have my reasons. Liaodong is the territory of China, and as an emperor, I have to come and take a look. This time I personally conquered Goguryeo and visited Liaodong by the way, which is killing two birds with one stone. Because life is short, there are many things waiting for me, and I may not have time in the future. Old Huang, go and get the globe."

Huang Ye obeyed the order and asked someone to bring a huge globe.

The globe is more than one meter in diameter and is placed between the banquet tables.

Ye Kun pointed at the globe and said, "This is the world we live in. There are many other continents overseas. I need to quickly resolve the issues of Liaodong and Goguryeo before conquering the overseas continents. So, time is of the essence."

The officials in Liaodong had never seen a globe before, and they were all amazed and came over to take a look.

Xiahou Chang also didn't believe it: "Your Majesty, is the earth really so round? Then the people on the other side..."

"The person on the other side will fall, right?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "When Liaodong University is built, you can go to the university laboratory to learn more about this question. For now, just trust me. You can also think about which of my views and opinions on astronomy, geography, and the way of studying things to gain knowledge are wrong?"

Everyone laughed.

Xia Houjie said: "The emperor has already invented the telegraph, radio, trains and railways. The train is the most amazing. It does not require oxen, horses or human power to pull the cart. It can pull hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods and run on the railway..."

Liu Ai chuckled: "Really? That's amazing!"

"Master Liu, you are so sarcastic. You don't believe it, right?"

Ye Kun rolled his eyes and asked Huang Ye to bring the loudspeaker over, connect the wires to the outside of the hall, and use his feet to step on the generator to provide electricity.

Then, Ye Kun said into the microphone: "Everyone, listen, is there my voice outside?"

The sound was loud and resounded outside the hall like rolling spring thunder.

Xiahou Chang and others were shocked and stood up.

"Sit down, this is a big broadcast, also called a megaphone. One person speaking can be heard by thousands of troops at the same time."

Ye Kun spoke a few more words into the loudspeaker, and then said:

"I brought several sets of equipment this time, and they will stay in Liaodong. In addition to the large broadcast, there is also wireless telegraphy, which you have never seen before. There is also a high-power telescope that can see dozens of miles away. There is also a searchlight, which can search and sweep at night, like lightning."

Liu Ai asked, "Are the things the emperor brought useful in the war?"

"Of course it works."

Ye Kun rolled his eyes again: "I have a searchlight, I can detect the enemy at night; I have a telegraph, I can contact Zhuojun Xindu now, I can send reinforcements or mobilize food and grass at any time."

"Is the telegram faster than a carrier pigeon?"

"The telegraph is like talking face to face. Do you think it's fast?"

"Can our telegram communicate with Zhuo County now?"

"I can send the code and then translate it."

"Your Majesty, I don't quite believe it. Can you verify it?" Liu Ai, this argumentative person, actually gave Ye Kun a difficult question regardless of the occasion!

"Of course, how do you want to verify it?" Ye Kun was not embarrassed at all.

Liu Ai looked at Xiahou Chang and said with a smile, "King Wei, can you think of a way to verify this?"

Xiahou Chang thought for a moment and said:

"I heard that He Kangju is now also a minister of the Nine Ministries. Back then, when He Kangju and I were drinking at Xuanwu Lake, I gave him a jade pendant. There are four words on the jade pendant. Can the emperor use a telegram to ask He Kangju what the four words on the jade pendant are?"

"No problem, just wait a moment."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Huang Ye to arrange for the telegraph operator to send the telegram.

The car-mounted radio was pushed into the hall.

The radio operator operated on the spot.

The telegraph machine began to tick.

But the people in Zhuo County want to find He Kangju to inquire about the situation, so we have to wait.

Ye Kun continued to drink and chat with everyone.

Twenty minutes later, the telegraph operator stood up and reported:

"Your Majesty, He Kangju has replied. The jade pendant was a two-colored eight-blade cicada, but it had five characters engraved on it, not four. The five characters were arranged vertically on the right wing of the cicada, and they said... "The sound is far away from the height."

Xiahou Chang was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and saluted, saying, "It turns out that telegraph can really communicate thousands of miles away in an instant!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Xiahou Chang, everyone says you are a treacherous hero, and your reputation is well-deserved. It was clearly five words, but you lied to me and said four. Fortunately, my telegram was real, otherwise, I would have fallen into your trap."

Xiahou Chang bowed and pleaded guilty.

"It's okay, I was just joking."

Ye Kun stood up and said, "Let's stop here today. Tomorrow we will discuss the attack on Goguryeo. Tonight, Xiahou Chang and I will have a private chat. It's not easy for old friends to meet."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye together.

Xiahou Chang took Ye Kun to the study to drink tea.

Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Zhu were also serving on the side.

"Empress Jie, Zhu'er, you guys sit down too. You've been on the long journey, aren't you tired?" Ye Kun was very considerate.

The Xiahou sisters thanked them and sat down.

Xiahou Chang smiled and said, "My daughter is young and naive. I'm afraid I can't serve the emperor well..."

"No, Concubine Jie and Zhu'er are both very good, I am very satisfied." Ye Kun smiled: "Thank you for raising such a sensible and beautiful daughter who serves me very well."

Xiahou Chang smiled awkwardly: "It is my duty to be loyal to the emperor."

Ye Kun waved his hand and changed the subject: "I heard that you were not in good health. I wanted to bring a few doctors to you, but I was afraid that you would be worried. I know that you have always been very suspicious."

Xiahou Chang sweated: "Your Majesty, that was in the past. Now I have surrendered, so I will naturally listen to Your Majesty..."

"Okay, I'll leave the doctor to you. It's up to you whether you need it or not."

Ye Kun nodded and looked at the map on the wall: "I am a man of my words. After I conquer Goguryeo, I will hand it over to you. But you are getting old, have you chosen a successor?"

"My son Xiahou Jun has been made the Crown Prince by me. Your Majesty, please take good care of him in the future."

"Xiahou Jun, how old are you this year?" Ye Kun asked.

"Xiahou Jun is my eldest brother, and he is thirty years old this year. He is currently leading troops in Goguryeo to expand the territory for the emperor." Xiahou Jie said.
