Chapter 33: Chucailu

Chapter 33
Wan Yanli Yao held the jade cup in his hands with his eyes, staring directly at the hot air rising from Tingting in the cup. His legs were tight and his toes moved from time to time, and he could see that he was very restless. The old man who sat in front of him was a shangshu ritual minister. From the second member of the ranks, since the northern Liaoning Khan was determined to leave the Mengyuan empire and take refuge in Dasui, he sent no fewer than ten messengers quietly into Dasui to see the great This is the first time that Emperor Sui has enjoyed such a high standard of courtesy.
Before those messengers arrived in Chang'an, although the Da Sui court treated each other with courtesy, and they would receive many rewards from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, they could ask for no progress on the subject of Da Sui. The emperor never saw them.
This time, it seems that things have changed for the better.
Wan Yanli Yao has read all the books about Da Sui, and has asked many people about Da Sui. He even pretended to be a Han when he was young, and lived in the Central Plains for three years. If there were some important things later in the 100,000 Mountains in the North Liao Dynasty, he would even prefer to be a common Sui people in a small city in Da Sui. .
The one hundred thousand mountains is too bitter cold, and there is no way to compare with the splendid world of Dasui.
He likes the beautiful scenery of Da Sui, the confidence on the faces of the people in Da Sui, the words of Da Sui, and even the women of Da Sui. Although if he likes, those beautiful women in Beiliao are willing to marry him. The northern Liao Dynasty is extremely poor and extremely cold, but the women's beauty is absolutely the best in the world.
In the harem of the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were also a few showgirls from the northern Liao Dynasty. The Dakotun of the Mengyuan Empire was from the Mengyuan aristocracy, but three of the twelve small Ketunli came from the North Liao.
The aristocrats of the Mengyuan Empire, the wealthy merchants of Da Sui, also boasted of marrying a woman from northern Liao Dynasty. The women in Beiliao not only have very pale skin and are naturally charming. I don't know how many wealthy businessmen got a Beiliao woman, and they were not interested in the Yingying Yanyan in the green house.
But even so, in the three years of hermit living in Da Sui, she still felt that she was more willing to marry a rough Da Sui rural woman. It was also a very enjoyable experience to grow flowers in a quiet and peaceful way. . He got up in the morning and scratched his head in Shimoda. His wife wiped sweat and handed water for him. The days were plain, but steady.
In Beiliao land, there is no land to cultivate.
"I heard that the coldness of the 100,000 Mountains is unparalleled. When I was young, I thought of going to you to take a look, but then I did n’t have time to become an official. Then I have a lighter burden and I have free time. , My bones can no longer move. "
Huai Qiu Gong saw the cramp of Wan Yanli Yao and said with a smile: "Dai Sui always treats your northern Liao people as friends, and you feel it when you want to come here. So you shouldn't be so disturbed when you come to Changan. You can treat This is your second hometown. "
Wan Yanli Yao quickly put down the jade cup in his hand and said sincerely with his hands: "Hundreds of thousands of people in Beiliao are willing to prostrate allegiance at the feet of the great Tian Khan. You know, we have unrivaled sincerity and Loyal. As long as the great God Khan is willing, we can even migrate into the Central Plains to become Dasui people. We are willing to cultivate land for Dasui and donate our horses and money. "
Huai Qiu Gong couldn't help but smile, caressing the white beard of his jaw and said with a smile, "Your Majesty does not lack hundreds of thousands of people, and Da Sui also has land."
Wan Yanli's eyes were dim, and I didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty values ​​your sincerity."
Huai Qiugong personally filled the tea with Wan Yanli demon, and said kindly to his grandmother, "Your Majesty deliberately explained before I came, saying that you all know the heart of the North Liao people toward Da Sui. Let your peace of mind, this matter is not It can be decided in a day and a half. Da Sui Guoli is the number one in the world and never fears any enemy. But to do one thing blindly without any preparation is foolish ... I say this, do you understand? "
"Caomin understands."
Wan Yan Li Yao's heart moved, almost couldn't help laughing. The meaning in Huai Qiu's words is very clear, how can he not be surprised?
"You are not a grassroot."
Huai Qiu Gong picked up the thin stack of paper on the table around him, and flipped it lightly and smiled: "Dai Sui Tianyou three years, you entered the gate from the maiden gate of Shandong Daozi, using the name Chen Sansheng. The Da Sui Luyin was written by Xiangcheng County, Hexi Province, and I do n’t know how much money you spent on it, but that ’s not important. The Xiangcheng County Order was cut off because of this incident, but only claimed It was because of illness. "
"You have lived in the countryside of Xiangcheng for three years. Apart from visiting the mountains and waters, you have to shut yourself up and read at home. You are very hard-working and good at calligraphy, and you have developed a good calligraphy. You write beautifully, only three years, and your knowledge is not comparable to that of the professor. Three years later, because of your father ... that is, North Liao Di Khan Wan Yan Yong wants to eradicate his brother who tried to rebel and call you back Negotiation, so you left Xiangcheng and returned to Beiliao. I firmly believe that Yan Yongzhi resolved to be a court official in Dasui, and you can't get away with you in the three years of Dasui ... I'm right, Beiliao His Royal Highness Wan Yan Chongde? "
Wan Yanli's face changed dramatically, and he subconsciously shrank back. He looked at Huai Qiu Gong's eyes full of incredible, more fear.
"do not be afraid."
Huai Qiu Gong smiled and raised the paper in Yang's hand: "I also knew about this. This thing was handed over to me by Lord Hou Fuzheng before I came. In love, information about you is not only That ’s it. If you have n’t lived in the countryside of Xiangcheng for the past three years, it ’s really your duty to study. Occasionally, you do n’t have any other thoughts about traveling in the mountains and rivers. Until now? "
Great Sui love!
Zhen Fu made Lord Hou.
Wan Yanli Yao remembered these two names deeply in his heart, and his awe of Da Sui became even more serious.
...
...
Da Sui occupied the Central Plains and never lacked a large-scale city. And the largest one is naturally the capital of Chang'an. How big is the city of Chang'an, I am afraid that many old people who live here will not know. Because more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the construction of Chang'an City has not stopped. Emperors of the Sui Dynasty had two things that they had to do and never changed.
First, in the foreign war, they seized a piece of land from others and turned it into Da Sui's land.
Second, repair and expand Chang'an City.
Compared with his father, Yang Yi, the current emperor of Da Sui, is worthy of praise. That is, His Majesty, who does not seem to be very tough, has completed most of the renovation and expansion of Chang'an City. Because Da Sui came out with a wealthy Wu, willing to donate half of the family property, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property repaired the entire city wall. It also includes the new construction of the 48th Square in the city. Of course, as a reward, the Emperor Da Sui not only sealed the first marquis of Wu Yidao, but also gave him a whole street in the 48th Square.
Chang'an City is one hundred and twenty-eight miles long from east to west and one hundred and eighty miles north-south.
How big is the project of building a city wall?
For more than 100 years, Chang'an City has been under construction, and when the Tianyou Emperor is finally repaired, Changan City can really be regarded as a complete imperial capital. The walls were two feet wide and four feet high. The wide walls allowed a dozen soldiers to walk side by side. Horse face, Arrow Tower are readily available. A heavy crossbow was installed every thirty steps, and a wolf teeth racket was installed every two steps.
The money to build a heavy crossbow and mace is simply staggering.
Changan City has four east-west, north-south and north-south cities, and three east-west, south-south cities have 13 gates and 10 north cities, which is forty-nine. When Wan Yanli Yao entered the city, he walked through the smallest Dinggan gate, which had shocked him to add more. If he walked through Yongding Gate, which is directly north of Houde Gate, he would be surprised that the road would not move.
Chang'an City is the heart of Da Sui, and Tai Chi Palace is the heart of Chang'an City.
The Royal Palace is located in Beicheng, covering an area of ​​10,000 acres.
The palace is roughly divided into four parts. The center is Tai Chi Palace, which is where the emperor discusses the dynasty. To the west of Tai Chi Palace is the Pu Ting Palace, and to the northeast is the East Palace where Prince Edward lives. Right south is the imperial city, where the queen and concubine of the harem live.
The emperor went up in the Taiji Temple.
Exiting from the gate behind Tai Chi Temple, you ca n’t go far north to be the Baohe Temple. It ’s smaller than Tai Chi Temple by more than one circle, but it ’s not as important as Tai Chi Temple because it ’s the emperor. A place to rest and handle government affairs. The so-called Imperial Study Room is located in Baohe Temple.
The Imperial Study Room is the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Baohe Temple.
Tianyi Emperor Yang Yi can be said to be the least feminine of all Emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty, and his concubine number is less than one-third of his father's. His favorite woman was the queen, and even the most discerning man could not blame the emperor for his fault in this regard.
The emperor also rarely returned to live in the imperial city, and usually lived in Dongnuan Pavilion. The courtiers said that the emperor was diligent because he was too lazy.
The emperor once complained more than once in private. Why did the palace have to be so large that it would take such a long way to get a girl, and what can you do if your legs are sour? But where did he know that the people were already complaining, if the people in Xicheng wanted to go to the Dongfeng Huifeng Building for a meal, they had to leave one day in advance, and they had to go to the inn to stay at the inn for a full day and halfway through the city's direct carriage. ...
Huai Qiu Gong from the Book of Rites Because of his age and credit, he has the privilege of not seeing the Emperor. Instead of kneeling, as long as he comes here, there is a stool to sit in.
"how about it?"
The emperor squeezed a piece of almond cake into his mouth and rummaged through the memorial while eating. This is a somewhat weird emperor. He doesn't like to sit on a chair. Instead, he lets people build a loach in the Dongnuan Pavilion. When handling government affairs, he likes to sit on the loquat with his knees crossed. When he is tired, he lies down for a while.
Of course, this is also praised by courtiers as a manifestation of diligence. UU reading books www. uukanshu.com
Actually it was because he was lazy.
Laziness is laziness in some way, and he has never been lazy in handling state affairs.
Huai Qiu Gong pursed his lips and did not answer.
The emperor Yang Yi waited for a while and didn't answer. He looked sideways and found that the old man with white hair and beard was staring at his almond and licking his lips. He couldn't help but smile, and instructed the in-house waiter, Su Buwei, to pass the remaining half of the almond cake to Huai Qiu Gong.
"It's too old to be shameful."
Huai Qiu Gong picked up a piece of almond cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed and replied, "Looking at the sweetness of your food, you're guilty of it ... the North Liao people should be fine, not like the Mongolian people set it up. Conspiracy. The old minister thought about it. If it was really a game made by Meng Yuan, this game would be too rough. "
"Mengge has this mind, but he has no such courage."
The emperor smiled and asked: "Is Li Xiaozong guarded by Fan Gu in the border town? He is clever and knows that he will send people to Chang'an immediately."
"After listening to Yan Chongde, it was a person called Fangjie who saw through their minds. He also said that he can be assured that there will be a lot of officials to see him in Changan."
"Fang Jie?"
The emperor stunned: "Why does this name sound familiar?"
The Su Buwei, who stood beside him, reminded him softly, "It is not the candidates who Fan Guxuan sent to the Wuwu Academy. His Majesty spoke with the prince of the town of Houyi yesterday."
"It's him again ?!"
The emperor sat upright, and after thinking about it, picked up a thick book from the desk case, picked up a pen and wrote down the two words neatly on the book, and then wrote a note under the name in a lower case. , After drying the ink, close the book and set it aside.
The book is very thick and looks a bit old. Cyan, with three large characters on the cover.
