And at this moment, Zheng Wen is taking a closer look at a sword, this sword looks very simple and generous, with the taste of time, there is no pattern on the entire black scabbard, only "Longquan" two vigorous characters, this is the Peichuang of Taizu Emperor Zheng Wu's life.
However, there is no record of its provenance of this sword, and it is only recorded in the "Records of Taizong" that this sword followed Emperor Taizu throughout his life, but it was not buried.
Zheng Wen took the sword from the sword stand, took out the sword and looked at it, and suddenly there were bursts of cold light, which seeped Zheng Wen's skin a little cold, worthy of being a sharp weapon on the battlefield!
Zheng Wen held the Longquan sword and waved it at the corner of the sword frame, but before he felt much force, with a "click", the good sword frame fell in response, leaving only a flat gap, which made Zheng Wen stunned, but his heart was happy.
At this time, Li Ying'er, who was admiring these weapons on the side, came over and said to Zheng Wen with a smile: "Your Majesty, the little woman said that she didn't expect His Majesty's ancestors to collect so many weapons, and they are all treasures, and it is the first time I have seen them, which is really an eye-opener for the little woman!" ”
Obviously, Li Ying'er, as the daughter of a general, is still very fond of weapons.
Zheng Wen listened, smiled, and said: "Of course, how can I compare the heritage of more than 300 years of founding the country?" ”
"I am a great cadre to establish the country with martial arts, not I boast, throughout the past dynasties, only the Qin, Han Dynasty, and Tang dynasties have surpassed my great cadres in martial arts, and the others are not worth mentioning in martial arts!" Zheng Wen said with some emotion.
But this is also true, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Zheng Wu opposed the Shi clan as a low-level officer in Yandi, and it took only one year to kill the rule of the Shi clan and repel the attack of the Liao people, and then in another year he waved his troops to the Central Plains, and successively destroyed the princes of the Central Plains and unified the world!
If it weren't for Emperor Taizu's violent death, there would have been nothing else to do, what Da Liao, what Western Xia, what Dali, would have been flattened a long time ago.
But even so, for more than 300 years since the founding of the country, the Great Cadre has been able to maintain an army of more than one million all year round, and the Liao people, the Jin people, and the Mongols.
You must know that at the beginning of the founding of the country, what he encountered was the Liao State led by Yelu Abaoji, the founding ancestor of the Liao State, and the combat effectiveness of the Liao people can be imagined. As soon as the Liao State weakened, it encountered the Jin State led by the founding ancestor of the Jin State, Wanyan Aguta, and there was another fierce attack. When the Jin State had just weakened, the great cadres here were preparing to destroy the Jin State, and they encountered the Mongolian army led by the Mongolian Khan Genghis Khan Temujin, and there was another fierce attack, and both sides suffered heavy losses, so they had to collect their troops and negotiate peace!
It can be seen from these that the great cadres relied on their own military force to bear the tremendous pressure brought by the three nationalities to the Central Plains in the past 300 years, and you must know that in history, two of the three ethnic groups entered the Central Plains, and the Jin State fought to the Yangtze River, leaving only the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to survive in Hangzhou, and the Mongols were even more adept, directly unifying China and establishing the largest empire in Chinese history.
Therefore, Zheng Wencai said that Daqian's martial arts are prevalent, this is by no means bragging, but his luck is a little bad, if it were in other eras, he would have done it a long time ago to make other national forces cry and call his mother, and kneel and call his father!
It is also in this historical period that in the past 300 years, the three nations have encountered the most prosperous time, but with their own martial arts, they can still stand tall in the Central Plains and fight with these forces, it can be imagined that the prevalence of Daqian's martial arts!
Li Ying'er listened, nodded, and continued with a look of agreement: "Your Majesty is right! In the more than 300 years since the founding of the country, it is just a little bit of bad luck that he has not left a great reputation like the Han and Tang Dynasties! ”
The social atmosphere of Daqian followed the Tang Dynasty and became its own atmosphere. Although it is not as open as in the early Tang Dynasty, there is a female emperor Wu Zetian directly, like Princess Taiping and Shang Wan'er, it is common for women to be involved in politics. But there is no such restraint as Cheng Zhu Lixue and feudal etiquette in the Ming and Qing dynasties, what three-inch golden lotus, what women are not allowed to show their heads when they go out, and they are not allowed to talk to men, these are not there.
That is, the upper-class family still has a little restraint on women, but it is still necessary to read and read, and to ride a horse, you must have a skill, what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what cooking and tea art, otherwise you will not be able to get married, you have to put it now, the gangster entertainment industry, ensure that you are a big star, do a live broadcast, and it is proper to collect fans!
And the people of Daqian are much more open, what to plough the land, what to raise silkworms and business, many women are active in these places, and there are even many female heads of households (the name on the household register, that is, the head of the family), what women must be widowed after the death of their husbands There is no such thing as widowhood in Daqian, it is all voluntary, but widows who have no children must pay taxes, and the government will urge them to marry every once in a while, which is to increase the population.
Therefore, when Li Yinger said this, Zheng Wen was not surprised, not very strictly, Li Yinger can also be regarded as the eldest lady of the family, she has received the best education in this era, and it is natural to have such knowledge, of course, Zheng Wen will not say anything about "women are not allowed to interfere in politics", if Zheng Wen says it, people dare not say it on the surface, but secretly it will definitely be laughed at!
Zheng Wen listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "Ying'er is good, knowledgeable, this is the most insightful word I have heard these days." ”
"I know, you are also a person who loves weapons, look at these weapons collected by my ancestors, do you like them, as long as they are not the swords and weapons of the ancestors, I will reward you with one, how about it?" Zheng Wen put the Longquan sword back into the scabbard, and pointed to the weapons collected by the ancestors of various generations of Daqian.
"Really? Your Majesty, that little woman is the choice. Li Ying'er was excited, and said in a chattering tone, but her eyes kept looking, but she just swept towards the sword.
Zheng Wen heard that it was a thrill, and he hung the Longquan sword on the sword stand again, and then said: "Choose, I am in charge, choose and take it away!" ”
So Li Ying'er walked towards Emperor Taizong's collection.
Approached, looked at the sword, looked at the sword; Picking up the sword is touching and touching, pulling it out to see the blade and putting it down; Somewhat reluctant, he picked up the sword, looked at the scabbard, and looked at the hilt; Holding this sword, Aiqing was aiming at the other sword. A reluctant and tangled look.
Zheng Wen felt quite funny when he saw it, but he was also a little relaxed, and Zheng Wen was also quite happy.
Li Ying'er looked at those swords with dead eyes, but muttered in her mouth: "Your Majesty, what should I do?" I like all these swords, why don't I let the little girl take them away? ”
Zheng Wen listened, but shook his head, and then said: "Ying'er, don't be greedy, one can only be one, choose quickly." ”
Li Ying'er listened, quite unwilling, and glanced at Zheng Wen fiercely with those big talking eyes, and then chose one of these swords, about one meter long, with a beautiful peony pattern tattooed on the scabbard, obviously this is a Tang sword, and I don't know who it is.
Zheng Wen looked at it, but shook his head, but stopped talking.
When Li Ying'er saw Zheng Wen like this, she felt strange and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you shaking your head?" Is there something wrong? ”
Zheng Wen listened, but he just thought about it, and didn't speak, Li Ying'er had no choice but to walk to Zheng Wen's side, hold Zheng Wen's right hand and coquettishly say, "Your Majesty, just tell the little girl!" As he spoke, he rubbed Zheng Wen's arm with his twin peaks.
Zheng Wen was suddenly excited, and secretly called "goblin" in his heart, why didn't he find out that this Li Ying'er would be so demonic, and secretly shouted that he couldn't stand it!
Only then did he smile and said, "Ying'er! It's not that I said you, you don't know how to count. What are you choosing a Tang sword for, I don't know whose saber it is, but this sword doesn't look like an emperor's saber, but it looks good on the outside, and it's not sharp? ”
"Moreover, I see that your strength is not bad, what you need is a sharp sword, and the most important thing you should choose is the sword that was forgiven at the beginning of the founding of the country!"
When Li Ying'er heard this, she was a little strange, so she asked, "Your Majesty, why?" ”
"Why? Because at this time, the sword made by the Great Dry Forgiveness is the sharpest! Zheng Wen said.
When Li Ying'er heard this, she looked disappreciative, and then said: "Your Majesty, when did the sword made by the Great Qianqian Pardon stop sharpening?" ”
When Zheng Wen heard this, he shook his head before he spoke again: "Ying'er, do you think I am talking nonsense to you!" At the beginning of the founding of the country, the weapon casting was the standard set by Emperor Taizu himself, and the iron-smelting technology at that time was far beyond the Tang Dynasty, and of course it was beyond the current level! ”
"And the weapon casting masters at that time were the top, I have seen it in the "Taizu Record", they have been to the battlefield many times to observe and inspect in order to create better weapons, so the weapons they cast and supervised are mainly sharp and practical."
"And the sword they forgave is even more so, mainly practical and sharp, and with chrome plating technology, the sword cast in this period not only does not rust, but also is the sharpest sword in Daqian!"
"And the sword forgiven by Daqian in other periods is not as good as the beginning of the founding of the country. On the one hand, the supervision of the court is somewhat lax, on the other hand, the people who pardon the creation are different, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the weapons and wars were all masters, and the pardon is even more refined and refined, and the people who pardoned the creation in other periods can only be called good craftsmen, and the sword of the pardon can be imagined! Zheng Wen said with some emotion.
When Li Ying'er heard this, she suddenly realized that there were still these ways in it, so she shook Zheng Wen's arm, and then said, "Then Your Majesty, is it okay for the little woman to change it?" ”
"Well, let's change it!" Zheng Wen agreed.
So Li Ying'er quickly stepped forward and changed the style of a somewhat quaint dry sword, she held the scabbard in her left hand, held the hilt of the sword in her right hand, and pulled it hard, and suddenly revealed a cold and faint blade, Li Ying'er looked at it, showed a smile, and nodded with satisfaction.
Zheng Wen saw it and laughed too!
