Heavy clouds floated over Luoshui, almost connected. The cold wind carried the goose-feather-like snowflakes and fell on the city wall one after another, blending with the green bricks and green tiles into an ink painting. The weeping willows on both sides of Luoshui turned into jade trees and branches, and the whole city completely became a world of ice and snow on earth.

A majestic city stands proudly in the vast Heluo Plain, this city was built by the Emperor of the Great Cause, and was also occupied by the thieves, after several changes of hands, but this city is full of vitality in the years of refinement, like the thriving Sui Empire, revealing a proud and majestic posture!

Luoyang, on the seventh day of the first month of the third year of Shengwu, is already the most majestic and prosperous place in the world!

After the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, commerce and trade developed, although the north-south traffic was interrupted because of the war, but today, as the capital of the Great Sui Emperor, Luoyang's economy is developed, and the west market is mostly engaged in livestock, tea, timber, cloth, silk, medicinal materials, firewood, rice, oil, salt, meat and other daily necessities; The two cities in the north and south are mostly spices, pearls, agate, gold and silver utensils, white jade and jade, coral, four treasures of the study, celebrity calligraphy and painting, books, foreign treasures and other luxury goods, which are dazzling and dizzying.

This market weather faithfully expresses the heyday of the Great Sui Dynasty, people, horses, mules and donkeys run separately, making the cold winter day extraordinarily lively, incense and sweat are mixed, from time to time you can see merchants selling spices from the Western Regions, Western Turkic sweat and blood BMW, Tianzhu jewelry, and many high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu people, light gauze covered Hu women through the street. There are also groups of idle people watching singing and dancing.

In the circle surrounded by the crowd, there was a man Hu Ren holding a huqin in his arms, and the sound of ding dong and stone resounded in the command of his hand.

The audience was still noisy at first, but at last it slowly quieted down, and the gorgeously dressed Hu man adjusted his breath, followed by a series of rapid and gorgeous music, and then there were ten girls from the Western Regions with green veils covering their faces and their waists slightly exposed, dancing in the sonorous music, their soft waists twisted like twisted flowers, which made people dazzled and drooled.

sultry eyes, big red dress, white waist and abdomen...... Every gesture seemed to dance out of the soul of a man, and the sound of cheers continued, and the copper plates fell crisply into the copper plate......

If the important ministers of the Great Sui saw this scene, I am afraid that their eyes would have to stare down, just because the person who played the huqin was the king of Yanqi who came to worship in the Great Sui, and the Hu girl who led the dance was his queen. The people of the Western Regions can sing and dance, without the reserve of the Central Plains people, they have always been spontaneous, and they are happy because of joy, so it is normal for the king to pluck the piano and the queen to dance in the Western Regions.

For the king and queen of Yanqi, in this foreign country where no one knows them, they are recognized for their best skills, which is a manifestation of strength and ability, and they are very happy, so the plucker works harder and follows the music, and the dancer is more enchanting.

However, not everyone has the leisure to enjoy the performances of the King and Queen Yanqi, and from time to time, there are scholars with dark circles under their eyes who push open the windows and roar loudly at this side! But at this time, everyone saw that Hu Nu was dancing energetically, and they didn't have time to pay attention to these scholars, and his voice couldn't make a splash in the bursts of cheers. The scholar roared hysterically, tossed the papyrus full of words in his hand, and then slammed the window shut.

Some people on the periphery glanced at him, knowing that this scholar came for the imperial examination, and now that the day of the scientific examination is approaching, one or two are studying their homework day and night, and now they are harassed by this group of Hu people, and their temper will inevitably become irritable. But everyone didn't bother to pay attention to him, how could a big man's dark circles look as good as the belly button eyes of a dancer in the Western Regions...... After a glance, he stared fiercely at the dancer's snow-white and smooth belly, as if he wanted to make up for the one he had just missed.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

The Qianyang Hall of Ziwei City has three floors, and the bottom floor is square, symbolizing the four seasons; The middle layer of the twelve-sided shape, the effect of twelve hours, on which is the round cover, the nine dragons hold it; The upper layer is 24 sides, and the law is 24 solar terms; On the top floor, there are nine dragons playing with pearls, up to 9 feet 9. This is the tallest building in the world, standing on the upper floor, the scenery of Luoyang is in full view.

At this time, someone stood on the Qianyang Hall overlooking the southern city, this person looked handsome, long, about 20 years old, but full of energy, calm and generous, although silent, but there was a momentum of the superior.

From the clothes, it can be known that he is Yang Dong, the Holy Martial Emperor who is in charge of this empire. Although there is a seven-day Spring Festival holiday in name, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Sui have not actually had a day off, and although the coming of various countries to the court has kept everyone busy, the main reason is that the war machine of the Great Sui has begun to accumulate strength and is ready to defeat all kinds of rebels in one go.

This Spring Festival, almost everyone is busy, carpenters build siege equipment, shipwrights build ships, and stonemasons collect stone bullets...... The Ministry of Industry and the workshops that will be the supervisors are also stepping up to make weapons and armor, and the sound of clanging iron is heard from afar, and everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War is so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.

Many conscripted soldiers gathered in the barracks outside the city one after another, and many grain trucks were constantly running on the official roads and the frozen Luoshui, Yishui, and Xishui. As long as anyone is interested, everyone knows that Yang Tong is planning a huge war...

"Dong'er, what are you looking at?" I don't know when, Yang Qinfang has appeared beside him, the purple palace costume is slender and beautiful, under the background of ice and snow, the delicate face is full of crystal jade, the long eyelashes are gently closed, the big eyes like a deep pool are staring at Yang Tong's face, and the corners of his mouth are pouting with a gentle smile.

Dignified and quiet like a noble fairy, there is no strong aura in the past, and if the two of them are judged, Yang Tong can't help but be stunned.

The heart said: Is every woman like Sun Wukong, with the stunt of seventy-two changes?

Yang Qinfang, who didn't know what Yang Dong was thinking, saw him looking at himself in a trance, and his heart was sweet and shy!

It seems that the queen mother is right, men like gentle girls, and it is not in vain that they dress up carefully

"You're so fake!" However, as soon as Yang Tong spoke, Yang Qinfang's good mood disappeared, and he said angrily: "How do you speak? ”

Yang Tong said gently: "This is normal! ”

"......" Yang Qinfang's face was dark, and she was so angry that she smoked, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, "You seem to be true." ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't I know what you were going to do? Anyone used to say that you were 'handsome, generous, and gentle', but what did that mean? The gold and jade are outside, and the corruption is among them, it is simply a model of mud that can't support the wall, and it is also a fake star who believes in Buddhism, but the world is in chaos, and he immediately becomes a man-eating beast, killing people faster than mowing grass. Good words are Taoguang and obscure, but in fact they are insidious and cunning, plotting the world. ”

"You are slandering, my position today is completely forced out by the times, this is called the times to create heroes; Besides, I arrested people from outside the territory to build roads in Dasui, it was completely for their good, if it weren't for me, most of them would have died on the cold, poor, and hungry grasslands, although they worked hard in Dasui, but they survived somewhat. I feel like I'm kind enough, what else do you want me to do? ”

"If I hadn't seen you open Concubine Li's letter, put the letterhead in a new envelope, add all the letters written by Dugu, and let Yang Shidao imitate the handwriting and inscribe on the envelope, and finally Fang Xuanling took it to Xiangyang, I would almost believe that you despicable guys are good people." Yang Qinfang clasped her hands in front of her chest, and let out a dry laugh of "hehehe", a picture of 'you yourself know that you are a thing'.

"I've never read Xiuning's letter to Li Yuan! Join Dugu Cheng's letter, that is to help Li Yuan get rid of the mole......" Yang Tong tried his best to justify himself.

"You go on!" Yang Qinfang's big eyes flashed with a thick teasing color.

"The Dugu clan first betrayed the Zhou Dynasty, betrayed the Great Sui, and betrayed the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who have died because of Dugu over the years, and I call it the use of the enemy's hand to eliminate harm for the people."

Yang Qinfang's sharp teeth and black material: "What about the money for stealing the family?" Isn't it all your money? Even robbed Amitabha Buddha's money, you can really do it......"

"I haven't spent a single penny of the money for raiding homes, temples, and Taoist temples, and I have taken it from the people and used it for the people. How did I carry the feat of infamy for the country and the people, how did it become your own enjoyment in your mouth? Even if a lot of money was spent to repair Ziwei City, it was also for the common people to get an income to subsidize their families by selling wood, stones, labor and craftsmanship. ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Yang Qinfang glanced at him and said, "But I'm curious, why didn't you let the Black Ice Terrace warriors set fire to the city, and take the opportunity to beat the rabbits with grass and behead Dugu's rebellious family?" I don't think that's in your character, there's definitely a conspiracy in there......"

"Could it be that in your eyes, I, Yang Tong, am the kind of tyrant who kills people at every turn?"

"It's a bit self-aware."

"Don't be so sneering..."Yang Tong smiled, and then changed the topic back: "I borrowed Xiuning's family letter to give all the letterheads of Dugu to Li Yuan, because I didn't want to help Li Yuan solve his internal worries. I need Li Yuan as my sharp blade to get rid of the Guanlong nobles, thus causing turmoil in the puppet Tang court, if the Guanlong nobles are all cleaned up by me, who will consume Li Yuan's political potential and military strength for me? ”

"Aren't my father and General Shen already in Shu?" On the third day of the first lunar month, Yang Guang took Yang Yichen and Shen Guang and left in a hurry, not many people knew about it, and Yang Qinfang was the one who knew.

"This year is the third year of Shengwu, and it is also a key year to unify the world, if you want to defeat all the anti-thieves this year, in addition to your own strong strength, you must also borrow the power of the enemy to control the enemy, if the pseudo-Tang civil strife is true, Li Yuan will lose not only the army, but also the overall national strength and morale, so that you can show your strength more and save more time."

"Will you go on the expedition?"

"Naturally, I'm going!" Yang Tong replied without hesitation, now the kings and envoys of various countries have gathered and taken them to the battlefield to take a walk around and open their eyes, which is far more deterrent than the military parade.

"Holy!" At this time, Yin Mingyue hurriedly came, holding a tray in her hands.

"What?"

"He Shilang of the Ministry of Industry sent a strange object, saying that the saint asked him to make it."

"Bring it in."

"Whoa!" Yin Mingyue came to Yang Tong's side and presented the tray in front of his eyes.

Yang Tong lifted the red silk covering the tray, Yang Qinfang looked at it curiously, but it was a five-section very beautifully carved bamboo tube, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the two ends were inlaid with transparent glass pieces, as if you could see the other end, and I don't know what it was for.

Yang Tong's eyes lit up, and he took a bamboo tube from the tray

Seeing Yang Tong holding the bamboo tube and looking around the city with his eyes, Yang Qinfang asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"Clairvoyance, take a look too." Yang Tongwei took the tray in Yin Mingyue's hand and asked them to take one section and try it.

The two of them each held a section, and the scholar Yang Tong put his eyes on the bamboo tube and looked towards the city, and in an instant, the exclamations of two girls sounded.

Both of them are very smart, they watched for a while, took another section, and then looked at them with both eyes, and the feeling was completely different, and the field of vision became more broad.

Yang Tong laughed when he saw that the two of them were watching non-stop.

Since the glass in the plate has been manufactured, it is natural that it cannot only be used to make luxury goods and make money, and the use and significance of a telescope in the era of cold weapons are self-evident.

"This thing is a weapon for us to defeat the enemy, and it must not be passed on." This thing doesn't have much technical content, as long as it is put into use, it will be known soon, but this telescope is the same as the Flying Eagle Transmission, the longer it drags on, the greater the advantage of the Great Sui, at least before the war, Li Yuan, Li Mi and others must not be let know. Therefore, although the telescope has been built, Yang Tong has already given a gag order to He Chou, who is responsible for the final assembly, and the craftsmen in charge of each link do not know the significance of carving bamboo tubes and polishing lenses.

"I understand."

Yang Qinfang and Yin Mingyue nodded solemnly, as soldiers, they naturally knew the importance of this thing on the battlefield, with the help of this thing, the two of them could see the things within more than two hundred steps, and although the distance was no longer so clear, they could also see a rough idea. When you are fighting, you can watch the enemy from the watchtower with this object, and you will probably be able to see all the arrangements of the enemy camp.

"I don't want glass to be used to make luxury things, but it is also so wonderful!" Yang Qinfang said in amazement.

"This telescope can, to a great extent, change the pattern of future warfare and promote the emergence of many new tactics and tactics. This is a great skill, and once the cage that imprisons the human mind is broken, more strange objects will surely appear. Humans are better than animals because they are good at thinking and creating! ”
