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

Just because every time she met Yang Tong, the place was different, and each time it was farther away. First it was Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, then Shenwu Palace in Yecheng, and now it was Luoyang's turn. She suspected that the next time, it might be

The reputation spreads far and wide to Daxing Daxing Palace in Silla, Jiangdu Palace in Jiangdu, Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan, and even Zhaowu Palace in Uicheng City under Yinshan Mountain, and Yangwu Palace (formerly Gaochang Palace) in Mingyue County in the northwest...

Her emotion was not only a complaint for her legs, but also shocked Sui Sui's sharp edge.

There was also a beautiful girl in the car with her. She was wearing a light yellow princess dress. She had a slim figure. Her exposed skin was as white as warm jade and rosy inside. Her appearance was flawless, and her eyes were as clear and lively as a pair of eyes.

As soon as you enter Luoyang City under the rippling autumn water, your eyes will turn around non-stop, exclamating from time to time.

This woman is none other than Kinderman’s sister—Jin Shengman!

When Yang Tong went on an expedition to Goguryeo, Silla wanted to participate in the battlefield of Goguryeo. By sharing some of the pressure from the Sui Dynasty, they could get a bone to chew on. So Jin Shengman and her sister went to Liaodong to visit Yang Tong on the order of their father.

, after arriving at the end of the field, they learned that Yang Dong had already destroyed Pingyao City and returned to his country. The Battle of Goguryeo also ended with Gao Jianwu Zun, the Sui Dynasty, 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 is certainly not weak, otherwise, Silla would not have become the second largest king on the peninsula. But this country that suppressed Silla to the point of immobility allowed Yang Dong to easily defeat it with overwhelming force.

It is a gap, between a border 'big country' and an unparalleled power.

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

Their group entered the city through Dingding Gate. Luoyang Dingding Gate is equivalent to Daxing Mingde Gate and is the main city gate of Luoyang. After entering Dingding Gate, a straight and wide street with no end as far as the eye can see appears in front of them. This is the straight-through street.

Dingdingmen Street in Ziwei City, but people in Luoyang generally call it Tianjie!

The endless high walls, red walls and green tiles on both sides of Tianjie show the grandeur of the emperor. Not to mention Jin Shengman who was dazzled, even Jin Deman, who visited the Sui Dynasty many times, was also shocked by Luoyang.

In comparison, although Ye City, known as Shenwu City, is also grand and majestic, Ye City is a new city rising from the ruins. Compared with Luoyang, it still lacks some heritage, but it has more than Luoyang.

A bit more graceful and noble, but less of the light and shadow of swords and the foundation accumulated over the years.

As for Luoyang, the walls inside and outside the city are carved with the vicissitudes of war, knife marks, and arrow holes, describing its war-torn weather. These are the traces that Yang Tong repeatedly emphasized to preserve. He believed that these were the signs of a majestic city.

The existence of these traces of war, heritage and history, will not only make foreign guests feel "shabby", but they will also be able to see the martial spirit and perseverance of the Sui Dynasty from the knife marks and arrow holes.

People were coming and going on the street, which was extremely lively. From time to time, the Jin sisters saw Turks wearing Han costumes and barbarians walking through the streets. They were quite unusual among the Han people, but the Sui people around them seemed not to be surprised.

Looking at the various races of people on the street, Kinderman secretly sighed. It is indeed the largest city in the world. In terms of scale, planning, and magnanimity, it is undoubtedly the style of the Celestial Kingdom. She knew that not long after the Sui Dynasty regained Luoyang, in Luoyang

There was still a war going on in the south, and it was so prosperous during the war. How prosperous Luoyang would be after the world was unified? She couldn't imagine.

There was no hesitation on the faces or demeanor of the passers-by that should have been expected in the war-torn times. They looked very indifferent. This was the powerful army of the Sui Dynasty. Their strong fighting power gave them calmness and confidence. They firmly believed that the Sui Dynasty would not be defeated.

They firmly believed that the Sui Iron Army could protect Luoyang from infringement, and they also insisted that the Sui Dynasty would reunify the world. It was this firm belief that made people so calm and composed.

Kinderman looked at his sister who was looking around and couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious that the prosperity of Luoyang had made her forget about this mission.

This time they were ordered to come to the Central Plains to pay homage to the Sui Emperor. In name, they were paying tribute to celebrate another Sui victory, but in fact they came to ask for help. Although Goguryeo lost 90% of its land to the Sui Dynasty and lost many of its young people,

There was countless money and food, but for Silla, who was automatically promoted to the boss of the Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo was still a strong enemy.

In fact, since its arrival, Silla has been the outcast among the three peninsular kingdoms.

When Goguryeo was strong, it bullied Silla and attacked the weak. Even Baekje, the third oldest in the world, was nothing. It invaded Silla's territory several times, burned, killed and kidnapped. Whenever Silla offered

Baekje would accept all the gifts as ordered, and then the two countries would reconcile and reach an alliance of mutual help. But when Goguryeo beat Silla, Baekje immediately turned its back and followed Goguryeo to harm Silla.

Luo.

In addition to local enemies, even the Wonu Kingdom across the sea also came to Silla from time to time to plunder... Now it's even worse, and they simply refuse to leave.

When Kinderman's father Kim Baekjeong came to the throne, he faced a chaotic Silla. However, Kim Baekjeong was also a promising king. He established and improved various official systems, trained a strong army, and made Silla the leader.

with enemies on all sides.

They originally thought that Goguryeo was severely punished by the Sui Dynasty and was in a semi-dead situation, so they joined forces with Baekje to attack. However, Baekje was not stupid. They knew that if Goguryeo was destroyed, they would become Silla's next target, so they agreed.

It was fine, but when Silla sent out troops, it stabbed Silla in the back and joined forces with Goguryeo to attack Silla.

Silla had Goguryeo to the north, Baekje to the south, and a Wonu kingdom that attacked from the sea from time to time. The situation of Silla can be imagined, but Silla was attacked on three sides not once or twice.

It can be sustained even if it is supported for a while, but at this time, someone inside Silla is trying to replace the Jin family. The insider is undoubtedly fatal to a country that is surrounded by enemies on three sides.

What to do?

Hug your thighs!

So Kinderman came again.

This time, the person who met her was not her old friend Fang Xuanling, but another official. This person's name was Du Ruhui. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He seemed to have an otherworldly charm. He was taciturn but profound.

Du Ruhui is more serious than the gentle and elegant Fang Xuanling, giving the impression that he is quite difficult to talk to.

But fortunately, Du Ruhui's official position was quite high, and he was the Minister of Etiquette of the Sui Dynasty. This also shows that the Sui Dynasty still valued Sino-Luo as much as before, which made Kinderman feel relieved. If Yang Tong randomly sent a little

Officer, then she really doesn’t know what to do.

The carriage Jin Shengman and her sister were riding was similar to an imperial chariot. She looked at Du Ruhui and said, "The great treasures of the Sui Dynasty are famous all over the world. I have long heard that all the people in the Sui Dynasty wore silk clothes, and even a three-year-old child could make a speech.

Poetry, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, not even beggars. I also heard that Luoyang is majestic and majestic, and exudes the aura of an emperor everywhere. When I see it today, it is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world."

Du Ruhui sweated and said half-truthfully: "How can a three-year-old child compose poems when he can't even recognize a few words? Even if there are, they are like a few pearls in the sea, extremely rare! As for wealth, what about wealth?

"In the past, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and no one begged. However, after years of war, it is no longer the same as before."

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

"Thank you! I'm just telling the truth..." If I don't cry for poverty, why would I have the nerve to ask you for military expenses?

Seeing that his sister finally made this wooden man speak, Kinderman quickly said: "May I ask Master Shangshu, when will the Holy One be free to accept my worship?"

Du Ruhui said: "The Holy One has many things going on, and I cannot say for sure when he will be free. But what is certain is that the Holy One cherishes the friendship between Silla and Silla very much. I believe that in the next two or three days, His Excellency the Queen will be summoned."

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

"Master Shangshu, is the Holy One a pearl who can compose poems 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 became pregnant with the Holy One. When the Holy One was born, a strange thing fell from the sky.

Elephant, surrounded by nine dragons..."

Du Ruhui didn't know what to say. The Sui Dynasty did not deify Yang Tong. Who would have thought that the remote Silla actually regarded Yang Tong as a god. However, he also knew that this was a good thing for the Sui Dynasty, so he said: "The Holy Emperor is a century-old royal dragon."

It is reasonable to have these visions of the gathering of qi, inheriting the way of heaven, and inheriting the great unification! However, it has been a long time, and the Holy Spirit is a low-key person, so many visions have not been spread. I don’t know much, but there is one thing

, it really happened..."

"Please tell me, Lord Shangshu!" Kinderman got a clear answer from Du Ruhui, and his anxious heart was relieved.

"Does the princess know the famous ancient sword Zhan Lu?"

Even with Du Ruhui's wisdom, he couldn't make up a reasonable mythical story for a while, so he simply used Yang Tong's sword Zhan Lujian to make a fuss. In order to know himself and the enemy, he had previously learned about Kinderman through Fang Xuanling.

Knowing that she is a woman proficient in Sinology, I feel that Kinderman should know the legend of Zhan Lujian.

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!"

Kinderman said that Silla admired the culture of the Central Plains, and it was true. The ancestors of Silla were Chenhan people, and the Chenhan people's vocabulary was similar to that of the Qin Dynasty. For example, they called bows arc, thieves bandits, and drinking wine...

...So Silla is also called "Qin and Han".

After pondering for a moment, Kinderman added: "The Zhanlu Sword is also known as the Sword of Benevolence. It is said that this divine sword is completely black and has no trace. It is like a deep and discerning black eye in the sky, watching the king.

Every move. According to legend, the Zhanlu Sword was first obtained by the King of Yue, and then passed to the Yue King Goujian. Because Goujian was defeated, he had no choice but to pay tribute to King Wu Fucha. However, the King of Wu was unruly, and the Zhanlu Sword actually left on its own and flew to the current world.

The famous king Chu King. From then on, Zhan Lujian became a representative of justice and benevolence. The little girl has little talent and little knowledge, and she doesn't know what is right or wrong?"

"The princess is profound! What she said is accurate..." Du Ruhui praised, and then said: "The Zhanlu Divine Sword is a sword, and it is also an eye. If the king is capable, the sword will be at his side, and the country will be prosperous. If the king is incompetent, the country will be prosperous.

The sword flies away and the country is ruined!"

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

"On the day the Holy One was born, Zhan Lu Sword fell from the sky and became the Holy Sword. 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 sword are all in the Holy One.

hand."

"Did you find the Holy One all by yourself?" Jin Shengman asked.

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

Jin Shengman exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

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

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her: Silla believed in gods and ghosts more than the Sui Dynasty. After returning to Silla, she could ask her father to create some miracles to win the support of the people!

Du Ruhui knew very well that he was wrong, but he gave a vague response to Jin Shengman's repeated inquiries! Suddenly he saw a familiar building not far away and said with a smile: "The post house has arrived. Princess, please take a rest first. I also have to submit a decree to the Holy Master.

Now! Although Luoyang is not as prosperous as more than ten years ago, it is still recovering. Nanshi is the largest market in the two capitals of the Sui Dynasty. It is twice the size of the Western Market in Daxing City, with more than 100 trades, thousands of shops, and merchants.

They gathered together and piled up goods like clouds. The merchants from the Turks and the Western Regions have many rare things. If the princess is interested, she might as well let the postmen lead the way."

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu." Kinderman knew that Du Ruhui would not tell him any more information, so he led his men into the post house.

…

Du Ruhui completed his task and went straight to the palace to deliver the report.

"See Your Majesty."

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