Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1420 Taibai Jingtian
Luoyang.

Ziwei Palace, Lingyan Pavilion.

Step by step, the emperor climbed up to Baizhang Lingyan Pavilion, which was originally designed by Concubine Yan herself. Later, the emperor renamed it Lingyan Pavilion. The original Lingyan Pavilion was just a small pavilion in the palace, but now But it became the tallest building in the palace, and even the tallest building in Luoyang.

Baizhang Lingyan Pavilion has a total of [-] floors.

Each floor enshrines a hero of the Great Qin Dynasty.

On each floor, there is a tall golden body and a life-length portrait. The four walls, the ceiling and the floor tiles of that floor are also painted with colorful paintings, which depict the meritorious deeds of this hero.In the pavilion, there are also armors and weapons they used during their lifetime, as well as poems written for them by scholars and poets all over the world.

One hundred and eight heroes, each of whom was bestowed by the emperor with the title of Big Dipper Star God, 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha, combined into a hundred and eight star gods.

The emperor made gods for his dead and living heroes.

The 36 Tiangang star gods are all ministers of the highest meritorious ministers in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the 72 earth evil star gods are all ministers of high meritorious princes.

"Saint, take a break!"

The internal servant Cao Huachun followed behind the emperor, carefully reminding and persuading him.

The emperor, who was holding a dragon-headed golden staff, smiled and stopped, "It's true that I can't do what I want. I really can't accept the old age. Time doesn't forgive people."

"The sage is in the prime of his spring and autumn, and he will reach his sixtieth birthday after a while."

"61 Jiazi, how many Jiazi can there be in one's life? For an emperor, to be over [-] years old is already considered a minority among the few."

"Sages don't say that, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was 55 years old and reigned for 86 years. Emperor Wu of Liang was 55 years old and reigned for 67 years, while King Zhao Tuo of Nanyue was [-] years old and reigned for [-] years... ··”

Luo Cheng smiled.

At this time, it was the 38th year of Kaiyuan, and it had been 38 years since he established the empire at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was in his twenties when the country was founded, and now, he will soon be 60 years old.

The beard and hair on the head have also turned white.

When he was young, he charged forward and fought north and south. He used to be a fierce general against thousands of people, but now, he has to rely on the crutches in his hand to walk. Although he seems to be very energetic, he is indeed not as good as before. , He used to be able to go up in one breath, but now he can only stop and go.

"Compared to the heroes in this pavilion, I am still in good health, but it is only compared with these old guys who have gone."

One hundred and eight Lingyan Pavilion heroes, there are not many in power.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were set up, and several batches were added one after another. Now it has a total of [-] stars, but many famous generals have withered over the years.

Both the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager passed away a few years ago, and even the Empress Shan passed away last year.

Teacher Zhang Xutuo was injured too much in wars when he was young. Although he has been recuperating his body these years, he left five years ago. And Shubao died of illness ten years ago due to injuries.

Li Jing, the military god, died of illness six years ago, at the age of 79. This late blooming military god is considered to have a long life.

Prime Minister Hou Mo Chenyi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, Ma Zhou and other pillars also fell one after another.

Fortunately, the empire has long established a good talent selection mechanism and a training system for ministers. Now there are ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng, Liu Ji and other ministers in power in the court, as well as the army. Xu Shiji, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanche, Pei Xingyan and other famous generals were in power.

However, with the departure of Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Li Jing and other famous generals, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other famous officials, it also announced the end of an era.

"Yesterday, the Taibai star appeared in the daytime." The emperor said.

Cao Huachun's complexion changed slightly.

"It's just a coincidence," he advised.

Luo Cheng smiled, "Before I received Zen Yuji back then, when Taibai saw Qin Fen, people said that I, the king of Qin, should have the world. Later, I received Zen Yuji, and the people all over the world thought it was in line with the way of heaven."

Cao Huachun didn't dare to answer.

It's just too serious a topic.

Taibai star is in charge of killing, attacking and reforming. There is an old saying that has been handed down since the Han Dynasty, which is called Taibai Jingtian, the world will change, and the people will change the king.

The appearance of the Taibai star in broad daylight often means turmoil, or even a change of master in the world and a change of throne.

The last time Taibai Jingtian was 38 years ago, Taibai appeared, and then Qin Tianxia.

Now that Taibai Jingtian appeared again, the emperor mentioned it, how could Cao Huachun dare to answer.

"I am old, and the prince is mature." The emperor said.

The emperor will be 60 years old soon, and the prince will be almost 38 this year, and he has been the prince for 38 years.In the past 38 years, the emperor has never doubted the prince, nor has he thought about Yi Chu. The prince's position as the prince has always been stable, but after all, it has been [-] years. Although the prince has not shown any impatience, he has indeed done it long ago. Prepared for succession.

The emperor had openly mentioned his intention to abdicate to the crown prince on several important occasions, but these words were too shocking, few dared to answer, or few dared to take it seriously.After all, the emperor was only in his sixties, and although he held up the crutches, he still looked healthy.

Even if the government affairs of the imperial court are mainly handed over to the crown prince, and the ministers are assisted in governing, everyone believes that this empire is inseparable from the emperor. With the emperor, even if the emperor doesn't care about anything, everyone thinks that there are people Take the helm and feel at ease.

"I received a report yesterday that Li Shimin is dead."

Cao Huachun just listened quietly, but did not answer. Li Shimin is the left governor of Xindu. He has been in Xindu for 20 years. From a small business station at the beginning, to a little bit of colonial expansion, and finally wiped out the country of Xindu, All the way upstream from the mouth of the Xindu River, it has been opened up to the mountain pass with the Daxia Road, so that the Xindu Road is connected with Daxia, Hezhong, Haizhong, Anxi, etc. in the Western Regions of the Great Qin Dynasty.

It can be said that the achievements are great.

The brother of Concubine Li said that he successively conquered the two countries of Linyi and Xindu for the imperial court. He also led the army to fight three battles for Yemen. The joint attack of the eclipse interrupted the eastward expansion ambitions of the three major Arab caliphates, and dealt a huge blow to the Axum kingdom on the southern shore of the Red Sea, which intended to control the Red Sea sea route. The arrogant king who claimed to be the king of kings was forced to move the capital Lu, and even the important seaport Adulis fell into the hands of the Qin army.

It was Li Shimin, the hustle and bustle of the coach, guarding Xindu, and his deterrence, that made the eagle flag of the cannibal retreat before the red dragon flag of Daqin.
