Volume 2: Waves Chapter 40: Good Luck

10,000 dragon ships are carried to Yangzhou and will not be returned. It should be the Heavenly Sect that opens the water, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles.

β€”β€”Bianhe nostalgia for the past

As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit.

- Bianhe nostalgia for the second time

The two nostalgic poems of Mr. Pi Rixiu, a drunken yin, exhaust the pros and cons of the Great Sui sage Son of Heaven to open the canal.

When digging a canal, the sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future generations. The Grand Canal was centered on Luoyang, reaching Zhuojun (present-day Beijing) in the north and Yuhang (present-day Hangzhou) in the south.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, in addition to fitting the thousand-year-old fortune of the Central Plains, also brings the nine domains of heaven to Luoshui. Li Baiyao's "The Emperor's Canal Strategy" said: "On February 2, the dragon raised its head, and the emperor ordered people to start digging the big river, connecting Kyushu, and connecting ten thousand waters, which is called the dragon vein and building a foundation that is not easy for all generations." ”

Zhou Yihuo Dexing, Sui Dynasty Zhou Li, the main water Dechang.

During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao once said: Dragons can be big and small, and they can be promoted and hidden; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. In the depths of spring, the dragon changes with the times, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world.

However, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty looked down on Cao Mengde, who could only dominate the north, and wanted to compare with Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages.

The first emperor, Xiuchi Road, traveled in a carriage all the year round, and suppressed the disobedience. The emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty dug a canal, and took a dragon boat to Youzhou and down the south of the Yangtze River many times to eliminate hidden dangers.

The dragon is an auspicious thing, is the place where the people place their wishes, but the Son of Heaven turned it into a dragon boat, showing the supreme supreme spirit.

Since the first year of the Great Cause, the imperial court has requisitioned millions of people every year to dig canals, and few of those who went to serve could return home safely. The consumption of manpower in the construction is huge, and it is not under the construction of the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty.

In the past eight years, hundreds of people have died, countless fertile fields have become barren, and countless heroes have been secretly angry.

In the golden autumn of October, the osmanthus is fragrant, and now it is eight years of great cause.

It is the year, before and after the eight osmanthus flowers bloom in early October, the canal is completed, the water area of thousands of miles from east to west, north and south is completely penetrated, the saint of heaven hits the river and returns, the brocade cable dragon boat goes upstream, and the smooth driving exudes a monstrous domineering.

The dragon boat is forty-five feet high, forty-five feet wide, and two hundred feet long. It is divided into four layers, the top one, there is the main hall, the inner hall, the east and west courts; In the middle of the two, there are one hundred and sixty rooms, all decorated with Dan powder, decorated with gold and vermilion, carved and beautiful, decorated with Liufang, Yubao, Zhusi, Yingluo; The next heavy is for the great Changqiu, the chamberlain and the sailors who take the boat. On each side, six green silk ropes are separated, and the shore is introduced by manpower.

Because the dragon boat is too tall, it requires a lot of manpower to pull on both sides of the river when driving against the current.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict ordering officials from all over the country to select young women as slender men and distribute silk to pull boats, making the journey more colorful.

Women's physical strength is not as good as men's, only to see girls selected from all over the country, warblers and swallows in groups waiting to pull the boat, a few beautiful young people are called to the ship to serve by the Son of Heaven, and the rest are tired or sick on the way.

"The dragon boat is coming, the dragon boat is coming!" Outside the city, the Hou officials along the Luo River reported early Pegasus.

"Dragon boat, the saint is back! Go and greet them, and don't be rude in front of the saints! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has been out to patrol the river for more than half a year, and there are many important matters in the court that are waiting for the sage's ruling, so let's go to the city gate with King Lone!" The crown prince Yang Zhao spoke out, and all the officials agreed.

Li Mi took a few small officials and stood on the shore and watched the dragon boat coming. Although he was in a moment of despair, he was still very particular about dressing, and the official uniform of the Jiupin Loose Cavalry was clean and neat by his subordinates, his demeanor was calm, his eyes were retracted, and he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time.

"Husband, it should be like this!" Li Mi said with emotion.

"It's so spectacular, this day dragon boat, when will the teacher be able to sit down?" In the back, Wang Bodang also came out as a guard, he won Li Mi's trust with his martial arts and beaded archery skills, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look envious.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, we will have our own dragon boat." Li Mi replied, his eyes flashing with strong confidence.

At this moment, the dragon boat suddenly landed, and the vocal music sounded nine times. After a while, Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, wore a dragon robe and carried the queen and half-driving officials off the boat.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Li Mi took his hand, looked at those ministers and dignitaries, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Do you really think you can sit back and relax when you open the canal?" As soon as these words were said, the hearts of those who heard it tightened.

At this time, a subordinate rushed to report the news, and Li Mi couldn't help but laugh and said: "The escort is over, everyone relaxes." But it's a little hot, so I'll ask you to have a drink! ”

Wang Bodang also said with a smile: "Yes, the weather is hot, the teacher invites everyone to have a drink together." ”

The leaders of the presiding officers all said so, and everyone responded one after another.

Not long after returning to Luoyang City, I arrived at a restaurant. This store is undoubtedly a long-established brand, with a tall layout and five floors. When I came to the top floor, I looked carefully at the window, and there was already a table, and outside the window was a bustling city.

Gao Si and Yang Xuangan were already seated, and Li Mi sat down after he arrived.

After a while, I saw a little guy come up and say with a smile: "Everyone is here, what dishes do you order?" ”

"What's here?"

"The time-honored one, now there are fresh lamb shanks, carp, and beef, I'll make a table for everyone, and bring it with some wine."

With the wine and meat, the entourage quickly became jubilant, and at this time the restaurant served three or four more tables, and everyone feasted on it, completely covering up the movement of the table by the window.

"Sit down, have a toast!" Yang Xuangan looked at the street outside the window, the lively pedestrians coming and going, but he felt depressed in his heart, raised his glass and drank it all, and said: "After my father went, our family has become more and more sad these days!" ”

Gao Si raised his glass to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, I'm the one who has caused everyone." I watched the Son of Heaven open the canal, abuse the people's power, causing thieves to rise everywhere, sooner or later we have to use the ministers to return the world to a peace, this is our opportunity! ”

After the death of Yang Su, the king of Yue, the national teacher Mu De took the opportunity to make trouble, and Gao Si was impeached by the Yuwen family one after another for killing the foreign marquis and Yuwen Chengye.

The Son of Heaven pushed the boat down the river, first deprived Li Mi of the Duke of Pushan County, then demoted Gao Si to a city guard, and finally demoted Yang Xuangan to the Duke of Chu, revoked the position of staying in Jinyang, and relocated Luoyang Order.

Li Mi ignited hope and immediately smiled to himself, and said, "Well said. Needless to say, in the future, we will work together to seize the opportunity. ”

"!" The three of them raised their glasses and pressed their hearts down.

Under the cover of the orders of the surrounding people and the drinking, Gao Si and the others discussed for a long time and drank until more than half of the afternoon before leaving.

In the blink of an eye, it was twilight, and Luoyang City seemed extremely quiet.

Except for the patrolling soldiers, most of the homes were asleep, and it was pitch black everywhere.

In the depths of the palace, the Son of Heaven, who had just convened a meeting of civil and military officials during the day, became restless.

At this time, in the air of the dormitory, the emperor woke up from a nightmare.

In the main hall, the requiem incense inserted in the incense burner is still burning, and the incense head in the octagonal furnace is flashing a little brightly, wisps by wisp, exuding fragrance, which helps the host to calm down.

This palace was originally a holy place where all evil spirits could not invade, but it gradually happened ominously, making the Son of Heaven more and more murderous.

The number of Sui Chaoyang's world qi is concentrated in Qianyang, Daye, and the three halls of Weiming, and the corresponding Yin World Dragon Court jurisdiction is also the same. Reflecting the celestial phenomena and illuminating the underworld, Noda's palace was built vertically and vividly and skillfully.

On the night of this day, different from the calm and deep normality of the sun, the Daye Hall and the Weiming Hall located behind the Qianyang Hall collapsed again, and the Qianyang Hall was trapped by the Taotao River.

The Daye Hall once corresponded to the names of many stars, and after it collapsed and was rebuilt, it became the Zhenguan Palace, and then escaped with the river; Soon, after the reappearance of the Weiming Palace, it also became the Mingtang Palace, and the light was gathered and disappeared without a trace.

Zhenguan great cause!

Martial Arts Hall!

At this moment, in the dead of night and when everything was lonely, the center of the Yin Domain of the Sui Dynasty, as the two main halls dispersed and disappeared, began to roll one by one.

From the small splash at the beginning, to the big waves more than three feet high later, there is no wind and waves, which happens on the canal under the cover of night, showing all kinds of weird and weird.

The moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds, suddenly brightened. Then, between heaven and earth, a city of light under the moon appeared.

The water of the moat outside the city was also churning wildly at this time. When the imperial capital struggled from the waves again, a moonlight suddenly shot into the river from the sky, and landed in the center of the canal.

It was as if it was a channel of light, and this light shone from the surface of the river to the bottom of the water, and the other end of the light caused a large sea of blood at the bottom of the river.

When the moonlight touched the sea of blood for a few moments, the blood shadow suddenly burst out with dazzling light, revealing its true appearance.

If an immortal can descend to the bottom of this realm with his divine soul, he will be amazed after watching it.

This is a long river of water and dragon veins, if it is said to exist but it is not like, it is the convergence of dragon veins in the land of Kyushu, and it is not blocked when it travels. If anything, it's the blood river rioting deep at the bottom, and the faces of hundreds of millions of people appearing and roaring upwards, setting off huge waves.

A closer look will show that although the excavation of the canal gathers the number of qi, it also attracts infinite cause and effect, attracting the will of the people to fight back.

"Spread the national teacher, pass the national teacher, and soon pass the national teacher to come." Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, woke up, got up from the queen's fat powder bed, and in anger and fear, he executed two palace maids in a row, screaming.

"No one can take away my country!"

The Temple of Light, the place where the national teacher Mu De cultivated, was extremely simple in its layout, with only an extremely smooth ground made of flame stones, and no utensils such as tables, chairs, benches, etc.

In the center is an altar, and the national teacher Mu De, dressed in a white robe, is looking up at the heavens.

His qi has been connected with the national fortune of the Great Sui, and after promoting the excavation of the canal, his cultivation immediately skyrocketed. But with the collapse of the dragon qi of the Great Sui Yin Si today, his people have also been counterattacked, and the damage is not light, and they must find a way to recover.
