The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 519
Kinderman met many times in the Sui and Jin Dynasties, but it was the first time in Luoyang. She felt that it was too difficult to meet Yang Tong once.

Because the places where she met Yang Tong were different every time, each time was farther away, first Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, then Shenwu Palace in Yecheng, and now it was Luoyang's turn, she suspected that next time, maybe it would be Daxing Daxing Palace, Jiangdu Palace in Jiangdu, Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan, which are well-known in Silla, may even be Zhaowu Palace in Yicheng City under Yinshan Mountain, and Yangwu Palace (formerly Gaochang Palace) in Mingyue County in the northwest...

Her emotion was not only complaining about her legs, but also shocked Da Sui's sharpness.

There is also a beautiful girl in the car with her. She is wearing a light yellow princess dress, with a slender figure, and her exposed skin is as white as warm jade. The rippling autumn water, since entering Luoyang City, a pair of eyes will keep turning, exclaiming from time to time.

This woman is exactly Jin Deman's sister - Jin Shengman!

When Yang Tong went on an expedition to Goguryeo, Silla wanted to participate in the Goguryeo battlefield. By sharing part of the pressure of the Sui Dynasty, it got a bone to chew, so Jin Shengman and her sister went to Liaodong to visit Yang Tong at the order of their father. , After arriving at the land, I realized that Yang Tong had already broken Pingjiao City and returned to China, and the Battle of Goguryeo also ended with Gao Jianwu respecting Tai Sui as the king, ceding a large area of ​​land, and paying a large amount of money and food.

Two or three years have passed, and Jin Shengmanyou remembers the shock in his heart after hearing the news.

Is Goguryeo weak?It must not be weak, otherwise, Silla would not become the second child of the peninsula, but this country that suppressed Silla to the point of immobility, let Yang Tong easily handle it with the momentum of destruction. This is the gap, is it The gap between the border 'big country' and the unrivaled power.

At that moment, she had infinite admiration for the young emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and she also had a strong yearning for the land of the Sui Dynasty.

The group of them entered the city through Dingding Gate. Luoyang Dingding Gate is equivalent to Daxing Mingde Gate. It is the main city gate of Luoyang. To Dingdingmen Street in Ziwei City, but people in Luoyang generally call it Tianjie!

On both sides of Tianjie Street, there are endless high walls, red walls and green tiles, showing the majesty of the emperor. Not to mention the dazzling Jin Shengman, even Jin Deman, who has entered the Sui Dynasty many times, was also shocked by Luoyang.

In contrast, although Yecheng, known as the City of Divine Martial Arts, is also magnificent and majestic, Yecheng is a new city rising from the ruins. Compared with Luoyang, it still lacks some heritage, and it is more powerful than Luoyang. A bit of graceful and luxurious temperament, but a bit less of the shadow of swords and swords and the accumulation of years.

As for Luoyang, the vicissitudes of war are engraved on the walls inside and outside the city, and the knife marks and arrow holes describe its war-torn vicissitudes.This is also the trace that Yang Tong has repeatedly emphasized to preserve. He believes that this is the foundation and history of a great city. The existence of these traces of war will not only make foreign guests feel "shabby", but also see it from the knife marks and arrow holes. To the martial spirit of the Sui Dynasty, and the quality of perseverance.

The streets were crowded with people, and the Jin sisters saw Turkic people and Hu people wearing Han costumes parading through the market from time to time. They were quite different among the Han people, but the Sui people around them looked familiar.

Looking at the people of various appearances on the street, Kinderman secretly felt that it is indeed the largest city in the world. In terms of scale, planning, and bearing, it is undoubtedly the demeanor of the Kingdom of Heaven.She knew that not long after the Sui Dynasty took over Luoyang, there was still a war going on in the south of Luoyang, and it was so prosperous during the war, how prosperous will Luoyang be after the unification of the world?She can't imagine.

The faces and manners of the passers-by did not have the hesitation that should have been in the war-torn era. They looked very indifferent. This was the calmness and confidence given to them by the powerful army and strong combat effectiveness of the Sui Dynasty. They firmly believed that the Sui Dynasty would not be defeated. Firmly believe that the Great Sui Iron Army can keep Luoyang inviolable, and insist that the Great Sui Dynasty will reunify the world. It is this firm belief that people can be so calm.

Kinderman looked at his younger sister who was looking around, and couldn't help sighing. Obviously, the prosperity of Luoyang had made his younger sister forget about the mission of this trip.

They were ordered to come to the Central Plains this time to pay homage to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. In name, they said they were paying tribute and celebrating another victory of the Sui Dynasty. In fact, they came here to ask for help; There are countless money and food, but for Silla, which was automatically promoted to the leader of the Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo is still a strong enemy.

In fact, since the beginning, Silla has been the doormat of the three peninsula countries.

When Goguryeo was strong, it bullied and attacked Silla, let alone Baekje, the third child of ten thousand years. Gifts, it will accept all the gifts, and then the two countries will reconcile and form an alliance of mutual help, but when Goguryeo beats Silla, Baekje immediately turns its face and refuses to recognize anyone, and follows Goguryeo to harm Silla. Lo.

In addition to the local enemies, even the Wanu country across the sea also came to Silla to plunder from time to time... Now it is even more excessive, and they simply linger.

When Jin Deman's father, Kim Baekjeong, came to the throne, he faced a chaotic Silla, but Kim Baekjeong was also a promising king. He established and perfected various official systems, trained a strong army, and made Silla top With enemies on all sides.

They thought that Goguryeo was severely punished by Sui and was in a half-dead situation, so they cooperated with Baekje to attack, but Baekje was not stupid, knowing that if Goguryeo was over, then they would become Silla's next target, so they agreed. All right, but when Silla sent troops, it stabbed Silla from the back, and instead partnered with Goguryeo to fight Silla.

The north of Silla is Goguryeo, the south is Baekje, and there is also a Japanese slave country that will attack from the sea once or twice. The situation of Silla can be imagined, but it is not once or twice that Silla is attacked on three sides. It can last for a while, but at this time, some people in Silla are trying to replace the Kim family. The ghost is undoubtedly fatal to a country that is attacked on three sides.

What?

Hug your thighs!
So Kindermann came again.

This time, it was not her old friend Fang Xuanling who met her, but another official named Du Ruhui. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he seemed to have an otherworldly charm, taciturn but profound. measure the feeling.Du Ruhui was more serious than Fang Xuanling, who was gentle and elegant, and gave people the feeling that he was quite difficult to talk to.

But fortunately, Du Ruhui's official position is quite high, and he is the Minister of Rites of the Tai Sui School. It can also be seen that Da Sui still values ​​Xinluo as before, which makes Kinderman feel relieved. If Yang Tong randomly sends a small Officer, then she really doesn't know what to do.

The carriage Jin Shengman and his sister were riding in was similar to a royal chariot. She looked at Du Ruhui and said, "The Sui Dynasty is famous for its natural treasures and treasures. I have long heard that the people of the Sui Dynasty all wore silk clothes, and even three-year-old children could export them. Poetry, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and there are no beggars. I also heard that Luoyang is majestic, majestic, and exudes the air of an emperor everywhere. When I saw it today, it is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world."

Du Ru sweated for a while, and said half-truthfully: "A three-year-old child can't even recognize a few words, how can he write poems? Even if there are, they are like a few pearls in the sea, extremely rare! As for wealth? In the past, it was true that everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were no beggars, but after years of wars, it can no longer be compared to the past."

"Master Shangshu is a true and sincere gentleman!" Jin Shengman said.

"I'm sorry! I'm just telling the truth..." Don't cry poorly, how dare I ask you for military expenses!
Seeing that his sister finally let the wooden man speak, Kinderman hurriedly said: "Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, when will the Holy One be free to accept my worship?"

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty is full of opportunities every day. I can't be sure when you will be free, but what is certain is that Your Majesty cherishes the friendship with Silla very much. I believe that within two or three days, His Majesty the Queen will be summoned."

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for telling me."

"Master Shangshu, is the Holy Majesty a pearl who can compose poetry at the age of three?" Jin Shengman seemed to be very interested in Yang Tong, "Also, I heard that Empress Dowager Liu dreamed of the Yellow Emperor and conceived the Holy Majesty. Elephant, surrounded by Kowloon..."

Du Ruhui didn't even know what to say. The Great Sui Dynasty didn't deify Yang Tong. Who would have thought that the remote Silla would regard Yang Tong as a god, but he also knew that this was a good thing for the Great Sui Dynasty, so he said: "The Holy One is a hundred-year-old royal dragon." Convergence of qi, inheriting the way of heaven, and inheriting the Datong, it is reasonable to have these visions! But it has been a long time, and the Holy One is a low-key person, so many visions have not been spread. I don’t know much, but there is one thing , indeed happened..."

"Master Shangshu, please tell me!" Kinderman was relieved when he received Du Ruhui's clear answer.

"Does the princess know the famous ancient sword Zhanlu?"

Rao is based on Du Ruhui's wisdom, but he can't make up a reasonable deified story for a while, so he simply uses Yang Tong's saber Zhanlu sword as a fuss.In order to know himself and the enemy, he got to know Kinderman through Fang Xuanling before. He knew that she was a woman who was proficient in Sinology, and felt that Kinderman should know the legend of Zhan Lu Sword.

As expected, Kinderman said: "In Liaodong, although Silla is not the strongest country, it admires the Central Plains culture the most. I know a little about Zhanlu Sword!"

It is true that Kinderman said that Silla admired the culture of the Central Plains.The ancestors of Silla were from the Chenhan people, and the words of the Chenhan people were similar to those of the Qin Dynasty. For example, bows were called arcs, thieves were bandits, and drinking was called wine... So Silla was also called "Qinhan".

After pondering for a while, Kinderman said again: "Zhanlu Sword is also known as the Sword of Benevolence. It is said that this divine sword is completely black and has no trace. Every move. According to legend, the Zhanlu sword was first obtained by the king of Yue, and then passed to Goujian, the king of Yue. Because Goujian was defeated, he had no choice but to pay the Zhanlu sword to Fuchai, the king of Wu. However, the king of Wu had no way, and the Zhanlu sword left by itself and flew to the world From then on, the Zhanlu sword became the representative of justice and benevolence. The little girl has little talent and learning, and I don’t know if it’s right or not?”

"The princess is profound! What you said is not bad at all..." Du Ruhui praised, and then said: "The Zhanlu Divine Sword is a sword, but also an eye. If the king is capable, the sword will be by his side, and the country will prosper. If the king is incompetent, The sword is thrown away, and the country is ruined!"

"What does this have to do with the Holy Spirit?" Jin Shengman asked.

"On the day the Holy Majesty was born, the Zhanlu sword fell from the sky, and has since become the saber of the Holy Majesty; in addition, the exquisite and elegant sword Chengying, the noble and unparalleled sword Chunjun, the honest and noble sword Qixing Longyuan, and Chi You's matching sword are all on the Holy Majesty's sword. hand."

"You found the Holy One by yourself?" Jin Shengman asked.

"Yes!" Du Ruhui's serious appearance made it impossible to see anything wrong.

Jin Shengman exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

Kinderman was dubious, she was sure that these legendary swords and knives must be in the hands of Yang Tong.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat: Silla believes in ghosts more than Sui. After returning to Silla, she can let her father perform some miracles to win the support of the people!
Du Ruhui knew it too well, especially when he faced Jin Shengman's repeated inquiries, but he answered vaguely!Suddenly seeing a familiar building not far away, he said with a smile: "The post house is here, and the princess will take a rest first. I will also submit an order to the Holy Majesty! Although Luoyang is not as prosperous as it was more than ten years ago, it is still recovering. Nanshi is a large city. The largest market in Sui and Beijing, it is twice as large as the West Market in Daxing City. There are more than 100 businesses and thousands of shops. Merchants gather and pile up goods like clouds. Merchants from Turks and Western Regions have many rare things. If the princess has If you are interested, let the postman lead the way."

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu." Knowing that Du Ruhui would not tell him more information, Kinderman led his men into the posthouse.

……

After Du Ruhui completed the task, he went straight to the palace.

"See the Holy One."

"Pingshen!" Yang Tong pointed to the first seat, motioned for Du Ruhui to take his seat, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

"Silla is beset by enemies on three sides, and life is quite difficult. It should be that the Holy Majesty should intervene. But I think this is not the point."

"What's the reason?"

"When Goguryeo was the strongest, the alliance with Baekje could not do anything to Silla! Goguryeo lost [-]% of its land and its strength was greatly reduced. It is even more impossible to destroy Silla. Now Silla is facing enemies from three sides on the surface, but in fact it is easier than before. [-]% to [-]% will not come all the way to ask for help."

Yang Tong nodded, and asked again, "What do you think about this matter?"

Du Ruhui analyzed: "It is a taboo for the country not to prosper, and King Jinpyeong of Silla has only one daughter, even if he lets his daughter inherit the throne, Silla officials will not agree, maybe there are already signs of this in Silla. "

After a pause, Du Ruhui said again: "I remember that when King Zhenping came to power, there were many people who disobeyed him in the country, and the rebellion continued; Duke of the county, King of Silla! Recognize his orthodox status, and since then, civil strife in Silla has gradually subsided."

Hearing these words, Yang Tong said, "Isn't this just a fox pretending to be a tiger?"

"That's right!" Du Ruhui nodded, and continued: "At that time, the Great Sui had just completed the unification, and its influence and deterrence on the three kingdoms of Liaodong was actually not deep; but the forces opposing King Zhenping still died down, which shows that Silla's influence on the Central Plains Dynasty With incredible awe; today's Sui Dynasty is as powerful as the sky in Liaodong, and its deterrence to the three kingdoms of Liaodong is a real strength, which is far from comparable to that of the Sui Dynasty during Emperor Wen's period. It fueled the ambitions of some Silla people!"

"Nowadays in Silla, whether it's Kinderman or those who compete with her for the right to inherit, they all want to be canonized by the Holy One. As long as the Holy One admits, then he will be the next King of Silla. Even King Shinpei can't change it. So The minister believes that the main purpose of Kinderman's coming here is to seek a reward from the Holy One, for herself and her father! As long as the Holy One's will comes, the signs of civil strife in Silla will never subside."

Yang Tong laughed and said, "According to what you say, should I be canonized or not?"

"Purely speaking as a country, Silla with civil strife is in the interests of our Sui Dynasty; but if you put Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje together, I think Silla needs to be stable, otherwise Silla, which is full of civil strife, will make the other two The next step will be the unification of the peninsula. No matter whether Goguryeo or Baekje wins, they will all develop northward! Although the Great Wall of Liaodong in the Sui Dynasty is tall and strong, there is no such thing as a thousand days The principle of preventing thieves? Even if the Great Wall is not lost, they can still march from the sea. Therefore, what I mean is to ensure the peace of Silla and let the struggle between the Three Kingdoms continue."

"It coincides with each other!" Yang Tong took a sip of tea and said, "Kindman wants to use me to get rid of the fox and pretend to be the tiger, if he doesn't pay a little price, how can it be possible!"

"My lord, what can there be in that ghostly place in Silla?" Du Ruhui couldn't help asking.

"Beauty!"
