Chapter 130. Royal Driver's Expedition
Before you know it, it's the Dragon Boat Festival again, and the day of the annual pilgrimage has arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the way to Luoyang from all over the country, the messengers who were rushing around overcame all obstacles, crossed many dangers, and hurried to Luoyang to meet him.
If the envoy of any country is delayed on the way to the court and does not meet the deadline, or is eaten by a tiger or something on the way to come, or dies of illness. All these will bring considerable twists and turns to the country. If you don't explain it clearly in time, I'm afraid it will cause the disaster of destroying the country.
Therefore, all the envoys rushed to Luoyang with their lives.
In Chang'an City, as in previous years, it is still full of lights. Voices. A peaceful and prosperous world.
The messengers of the pilgrimage came and went. Even the Gaochang King Lu Boya, who had not taken the Great Sui in his eyes in the past, also sent an envoy to meet him.
When everyone saw this unfamiliar face, they all guessed which country he was the envoy of.
After knowing that he was the envoy of Gaochang, his awe of the Great Sui was a few more layers. It was unexpectedly allowed King Gaochang to send an envoy to the court, and the national strength of the Great Sui can be seen.
This singing kingdom, although it is not a big country, but it has a strong army. In the past many years, he has been entrenched in the northwest town and lived a leisurely life.
Until last year. The Emperor of the Great Sui led his troops to conquer Tuyuhun in person, and placed the four counties of Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and the last four counties. Yiwu Tutun is attached to the interior, and it is located in Yiwu County. Show the national prestige of the Sui Dynasty.
Gaochang King Lu Boya then met Emperor Yang Yu Zhangye. From then on, Gaochang in the northwest declared its submission to the Great Sui.
The emperor looked around and found the envoy of Gaochang who had come to see him. A smile of relief spread from under his eyes, making him look ten years younger.
"If Goguryeo gets acquainted with each other this year and comes to the court, then the entire territory will be unified."
Just when the emperor was happy to see the Gaochang Kingdom, Na Yuwen said a word that he didn't know about the times. made the emperor's whole face gloomy.
Goguryeo was the most tricky, which seemed to be common sense among the courtiers.
It's not that the emperor doesn't dare to go out to evaluate them, but he just thinks that the most tricky one in this matter is reasonable to settle down in the end.
In addition, the emperor is also silently looking forward to it in his heart. If he conquers all other regions and is powerful in all directions, and only Goguryeo is left, can he Goguryeo not come to the court?
It's a pity that the emperor's expectations have been disappointed again.
Goguryeo did not come to the court for three consecutive years, nor did it send news of the envoy's accident.
"It's time to go out to conquer Goguryeo, the land of small projectiles is so bold!" Yu Wenshu stood beside the emperor with his hands down, guessing the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor frowned, paced small steps and circled around the hall many times. It's like making an extremely difficult decision.
Suddenly, he looked up at Yuwenshu, "No, the reason why Goguryeo didn't come to see him was because they had a certain strength. Now the southern power is not yet stable, and it is not possible to rush into the palace of the powerful Goguryeo. ”
Yuwenshu was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to admit that Goguryeo was powerful.
He also knew that Goguryeo was powerful, but the emperor was a very confident person, he believed not only in himself but also in his army and his country. I would definitely not talk about a country like Goguryeo, but I never thought that he would say such a thing.
"Your Majesty is very true."
"It's just that the stability of Jiangnan is not something that happens overnight. And Goguryeo's non-submission is a matter of urgency. If Goguryeo is not conquered as soon as possible, other small tribes on the border that have already submitted to the Great Sui will defect to Goguryeo or be absorbed by Goguryeo. Then there will be no end of calamity! The Emperor continued, letting out a worried sigh.
Yuwenshu had always known that the emperor was a far-sighted person, but he didn't expect him to be able to see such a deep level. Immediately convinced, he admired his lord more than ever.
"Aiqing also thought about it when she went back, and considered a plan to stabilize the rear. Discuss it tomorrow morning! The emperor said and went back to the dormitory.
The queen has been waiting for a long time, and the good wine and food sent by the imperial dining room are almost exhausted.
"Your Majesty, you're here!" Seeing the emperor, the queen got up and pulled him to the table and sat down.
The emperor looked at the big table of dishes he liked to eat, as well as some wine that he didn't drink much on weekdays. It feels strange.
"The queen has a light diet on weekdays, why is Zhang Luo such a big table of food today?" The emperor asked suspiciously.
The queen smiled mysteriously, "I knew that Your Majesty would forget, today is Your Majesty's birthday, and I am specially prepared to celebrate." ”
Before the emperor could react, he only heard the queen snap her fingers, and a lot of people suddenly poured in from the door, and it turned out to be his children and Man'er's child Zhao Wang Yang Hao. They walked towards the emperor and queen while singing a birthday song.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you......" turned out to be the song he hadn't heard for a long time, and he was the most familiar song before the crossing.
The corners of the emperor's eyes were filled with tears.
At this moment, everyone got out of the way, and Man'er walked over with a large disc.
At the moment when she put the disc on the table, the emperor was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
It turned out to be a big cake, something he hadn't seen since he came to ancient times. For so long, he had almost forgotten that there was such a thing in the world. It's so impressive! However, he was not used to saying thanks, and he couldn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, make a wish!" Man'er said with a smile. Over the years, the two of them have resumed a 21st-century buddy-like relationship, and although Man'er still loves him, she hides it deeply.
The emperor raised the corners of his mouth and gently blew out the only candle on the candle.
No one knew what he was wishing. Before he could figure it out, he was drawn to it by the sound of children clamoring for cake.
Finally, the birthday party ended at midnight.
This year's emperor's birthday did not invite any princes and nobles, just a small celebration for him and his family. There was no troupe to sing, and no circus was invited to perform. Indeed, he had the happiest birthday in decades.
"Thank you, Queen, for preparing this meaningful birthday party for me. I'm satisfied. The emperor's eyes were sincere.
"Your Majesty has something kind to say to me!" The queen pretended to be angry and turned her head away.
The emperor laughed evilly, "Don't say thank you, then use actions to show it!" ”
I only heard the queen's coquettish laughter, and the lights in the dormitory went out. The curtain on the bed slowly fell. And so the good day ended.
In the morning of the next day, the morning light was faint, and Yuwenshu had already come to the court. Today he was the first to come.
Last night, he stayed up all night, seriously thinking about the homework assigned to him by the emperor, tossing and turning.
