Red cavalry galloped between the valleys.

On the banks of the great river, tribes either surrendered, or retreated, or retreated in the bunker mountain city.

On the banks of the river, the post station fort is being built.

On the top of the mountains, the beacon watchtower was also built and the red flag was fluttering.

Kaiyuan five years.

January.

Luoyang.

The spring is cold.

In the afternoon, the golden sun warmed Luoyang City, and with the bursts of bells, a huge team came to the outside of Luoyang City.

Driving yaks, camels, and horseback teams, looking at the majesty of Luoyang City from afar, they couldn't stop sighing and praising it, although this was not the first time they had seen the capital city of the Central Plains.

When they were in Jincheng, they were amazed, and when they arrived in Chang'an, they were even more amazed.

When passing through Tongguan, they admired the majesty of the Guancheng, and when passing through the Yellow River, they praised the great river and entered the Central Plains, and praised the fertile fields here for thousands of miles, but when they saw Luoyang City, they still couldn't help but marvel.

Compared with Chang'an and other cities in Guanzhong, Luoyang is particularly grand and lively.

"The Qin army guarding the door in Luoyang, the armor is really bright, all of them are so mighty!"

"These are the forbidden armies of the Qin people."

Liu Renliang laughed and said to the Tubo people who were talking, "Actually, these gatekeepers you see, they are the people of the internal government, they belong to the prison gate guard mansion, and they are responsible for guarding the gate gate and the palace gate. ”

The guards from the prison guard saw them coming from a distance, but they did not come to greet them, and there was a group of soldiers on the other side, but these people were dressed a little differently. In general, the soldiers of the Sanya are all red military robes, but the edges of different yamen are of different colors.

And the different military guards in each government have different patterns or marks on the soldiers' robes.

Coupled with the bronze medals on the shoulders of the sergeants and the identity tags on their chests, their identities can be quickly judged, but for the Tibetan people, this is a bit complicated, they are more accustomed to playing different banners, drawing different maps and even riding horses of different colors.

An officer with a headmark on his shoulder stepped up.

Liu Ren stepped forward immediately and gave a military salute.

"Yu Lin Lang Liu Ren Rail."

The head of the capital hurriedly returned the salute, "Zhao Sheng, the head of the cavalry of the Right Xiao Guard Brigade, pays a visit to Liu Yu Linlang." ”

"This is the Tibetan mission, sending the Tibetan princess to Luoyang to serve the emperor, along with the gold and yaks, goats and sheep they paid tribute to the saints, as well as some local products of Tibet."

Dutou Zhao Sheng said with a smile, "No wonder I smelled a big fishy smell from afar, it turned out that the Tibetan delegation had arrived, and I would register here." ”

"I've smelled enough of this along the way, and I've finally returned to Luoyang, which can be regarded as a good deal." Liu Renliang laughed.

The military academy of the prison guard mansion over there looked at it from a distance, "It's been really lively recently, this is the first few missions, plus those caravans, there are really a lot of feudal people who have come to Luoyang this year." ”

"Yesterday, there was a caravan from far away Fulin (Eastern Rome), and a few days ago, there were also from Persia, all of whom came to catch up with our Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Luoyang this year. You know, this year, His Majesty has an order, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, Jin Wu can't help it, during which not only the three cities operate day and night, but even the lanes are not restricted. ”

Although Great Qin fought a difficult war last year, the result was that Great Qin won.

In the west, the Western Turks were defeated and fled to Qianquan, but they were defeated by the Tiele army and the Mohedu army, and were forced to continue to move westward.

However, Mo Helu's strength is not good, and after becoming the Great Khan, he is still very respectful to Daqin, and he does not dare to be arrogant. The countries of the Western Regions, which were originally subordinate to the Western Turks, have now become the counties of the Great Qin, and even the ten departments of the Western Turks are now set up by the imperial court in each of their places and awarded the title of Marquis.

The Khan of Mohedu, in fact, is already a bit unjustifiable and has no name.

In the autumn, the general Wang Siye and the general Qin Qiong and other meritorious generals divided Yili, making the situation in the Western Regions more and more complicated.

There are three counties of Yiwu, Gaochang and Yanqi in the east of Great Qin, and 36 princes of Yili in the west.

Coupled with the original twenty-seven countries of the Western Regions and the thirteen counties of the Western Turks, the entire Western Regions Tianshan Mountains north and south, until the east and west of the Green Mountains, although the Anxi Road of the Great Qin Dynasty is only in charge of the three counties, but in fact, all parties are now looking at the Great Qin horse.

There is also a huge change in the situation in the Western Regions, that is, in the past, during the Sui Rebellion, the Western Turks controlled the Silk Road, which once blocked the exchanges between the Taixi merchants and the Central Plains, but now, this Silk Road has finally been opened again.

North Silk Road, Middle Silk Road, South Silk Road.

There were trade routes from Jimo to Zhangzhung and then to the Tianzhu kingdoms and Persian Sasanians, as well as a direct route to Persia through Tocharo, and a trade route to Kangju or Broken Leaf all the way west to Taixi.

There was no longer any obstacle in the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was reopened.

The envoys of Great Qin announced that the Sogdians in the river, the Fulin and Persians of Taixi all rushed to the Central Plains one after another, all wanting to buy the beautiful silk and porcelain produced in the Central Plains again, and sell their spices, gold, silver and pearls.

The revival of the Silk Road in the Western Regions brought countless merchants from the Western Regions, including Sogdian merchants with blue eyes and curly beards, Persian merchants with high noses, blonde merchants with whisks, and many beautiful orchids.

And now, the Tibetans have also come.

However, the guards guarding the gate obviously didn't like these Tubo people in dirty leather robes, and they looked far worse than the Hu merchants in the Western Regions.

However, when Liu Renliang handed them a list for registration, the captain of the prison guard mansion was taken aback.

The Tibetan envoy sent Zampu's own daughter, Princess Saimaga, which is nothing, the princess of the small southern barbarian country, not worth a few dollars.

Now the surrounding domains of Daqin are all vying to send the princess to Luoyang, it seems that whoever fails to enter the Ziwei Palace will lose face and lose face among the domains.

In the past, all the feudal clans were more than who could marry the princess of the Central Plains, but now Daqin does not marry the princess and relatives, so these people can only compete to see who can marry their princess to the palace of Qin.

Khitan, Western Turkic, Tiele, Xi and other countries have successively sent princesses into the palace, but it is really rare to be so generous as Tibet.

There were 5,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 yaks, 50,000 goats and sheep, and the Tubo people also returned more than 10,000 Han people who had been displaced to Tubo to Daqin.

"This is a lot of money." The lieutenant exclaimed.

Liu Renliang smiled, "What kind of dowry, this is Tubo Zampu's apology for entering Tuyuhun before, besieging Dafeiling, and offending my Daqin, even the princess is, but it's not a dowry." ”

"It's all apologies?"

"It's not all, there are thousands of camels of goods in the back, all of which are commercial goods carried by these Tibetan envoys, and they are to be brought to Luoyang for private sale, and they have a list and will hand them over to you for registration." Liu Renliang smiled.

The captain smiled, "I didn't expect that these barbarian envoys on the plateau are also very smart, come to marry the princess, and know that by the way, do some business, our Luoyang City, that is the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, and Nanshi is an international trading market, all over the world, all kinds of commodities are used, and the Tubo people are right." ”

"I don't care what they bring here, but there is one thing, when you enter the city, you have to leave all the weapons you bring with you to us, register them, and give them to us for safekeeping, and then return them when they leave the city."

Although Luoyang City said that the Shangyuan Festival Jinwu couldn't help it, these feudal envoys and Hu caravans still had to be on guard.

The court welcomed them over and was willing to trade with them, but as the captain of the guard guarding the city gates, he had to do his duty.

"It's natural, I'll talk to them." Liu Renliang turned his head with a smile, returned to the front of the team, and talked to the leader of the Tibetan mission, Gar Dongzan, who only nodded, and soon, he ordered to untie his weapon and hand it over to the captain at the city gate.

"My Tibetan mission escorted the princess to arrive, why didn't you see the Qin family's emperor send someone to greet you?"

Gar Dongzan never saw any Qin Dynasty officials come to the city gate to greet him, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Liu Renliang smiled, "It's the first month now, the envoys of all the vassal countries from all over the world come to congratulate and worship the Son of Heaven, and some vassal kings come in person, how can Your Majesty and the imperial court send people to greet them one by one, if they all greet them, they don't have to do anything on this day, and the ministers just stand at the gate of the city to greet each other." ”

Gardonzan's face was a little ugly, but it was not good to have a seizure, so he had to keep silent.

"Let's go, after registering, I'll send you to Honglu Temple, and they will prepare a place for you to rest. This year is the first year of your year, and there is no embassy at all, you come this time, you can find a house in the south of Chang'an City if you have time, as your Tubo embassy, and now there are hundreds of vassal embassies in the south of the city, and they have sent people to Luoyang to facilitate contact with my Daqin. ”

Hearing this, Gar Dongzan was secretly amazed and envious of the strength of the Qin State, there were hundreds of vassal states that had established embassies in Luoyang City and sent people to stay there, it seems that they had to buy a mansion as an embassy and arrange people to stay in Tibet this time.

After the Tibetan mission checked and registered at the gate of the city, it began to enter the city, and most of the 10,000 yaks and 50,000 sheep brought by Tubo were actually directly received and settled in Qinghai and Longyou, and they only brought gold, silver and princesses this time, of course, there were also private goods carried by the nobles.

After the weapon was handed over to the city gate guards for safekeeping, he entered the city, and in the distance, in the street shop at the city gate, there was immediately a message from Wuhou to the top: the Tibetan mission had entered Beijing.

Every street and corner of Luoyang City is equipped with street shops, stationed with Wuhou, the big street shops are stationed in Wuhou 300, the small ten people, there are hundreds of street shops in the whole Luoyang City, there are thousands of Wuhou responsible for the security of the street, they are a pair of eyes in Luoyang City, there is a little wind and grass can not escape them.

In addition to these street shops Wuhou, there are more than 100 large and small watchtowers in Luoyang City, which are used to monitor the whole city.

In addition to the guards of the city gate, the Wuhou of the street shop, and the soldiers in the watchtower, and the Jin Wuwei who patrolled the streets, there are many inconspicuous bad people in Luoyang City to catch or hide the pile, they are the local rangers, ruffians and other low-level people, after being incorporated by the imperial court yamen, become the lowest level of the auxiliary police, these bad people who can't get into the table, but often can skillfully grasp the detailed information of each neighborhood, and provide sufficient clues for the government to handle the case.

As soon as the Tibetan delegation entered Luoyang, there were already more than a dozen people from the yamen who began to stare at them.
