Chapter 174: Rainbow in front of the palace

On the morning of the first day of the Western Regions Conference, the avenue and square outside the south gate of the Neder Hall were already overcrowded, and the officials of the six departments gathered their respective foreign officials or ambassadors from Fanbang according to the list prepared in advance by the center, waiting for the summons of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. The left and right eagles are responsible for the security of the Western Regions Conference, each with bright armor and bright armor, fresh clothes and angry horses, standing guard or patrolling in the city, not daring to slack off; The swaying weapons and armor glitter with the silk wrapped in trees and pillars, making people dizzy.

At the front of the square are the three vassal kings accompanied by Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan, the Western Turkic Nipu Luo Khan, and the Gaochang King Lu Boya; As the representative of the Western Turk Khan, the commander of the Western Turks, just because the Great Sui had not officially pardoned the Shekui Khan as the lord of the Western Turks, he could only rank behind like other missions. Since the Western Regions Conference was held in Chang'an, it was not only people from the 44 countries of the Western Regions who attended, but also officials from various places who rushed to Chang'an, as well as envoys from Goguryeo, Chitu, Baekje and other countries.

The autumn sun is still a little poisonous, and it just rises and shines on the sweat on the head, Gao Gong complains a little, and the time of this ritual is too unreliable. Gao Cheng was restless during this time, on the one hand, he obviously felt that he was getting older, and his body was not getting better, and at the same time, his eldest son Gao Shengdao should not be recruited by the imperial court and missed the opportunity; After the third son Gao Biaoren and Yang Yong's daughter, Yang Jingwan, the princess of Daning, returned to Chang'an, she rejected Gao Gong's suggestion to get closer to Yang Chong and closed her door to study. All of these made Gao Gong understand that no matter the state affairs and family affairs, he could no longer control the rest of the matter.

Su Wei was seven years older than Gao Gong, perhaps because of his years of cultivation, he looked much younger than Gao Gong, and said to Yu Shiji with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites is still more economical this time, you see that the Huabiao on the steps are all carved wood, Yan Bi said that most of the materials in the city are old, I am afraid that the saint will not be satisfied." ”

Yu Shiji secretly scolded Su Wei for being cunning, and the documents reported by the Ministry of Rites stated that the materials were old, and Su Wei said this just to take Yan Bi out to talk about things, and implied that there was a problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Rites. However, the entire Xingcheng and Nede Hall do not look particularly luxurious, and the officials and chamberlains who came to watch the venue a few days ago have this opinion, but they all know that the construction schedule is tight and Yang Xuangan is a great god, and he is more subtle.

The sound of horses' hooves, the honor guard convoy of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, under the escort of the heavy cavalry, slowly drove into the city, and the crowded avenue automatically cleared a 100-meter-wide road in the blink of an eye, and all the officials and guests bowed their heads respectfully and saluted; The heavy cavalry of the Great Sui was a cavalry outfit, and the horse armor composed of six pieces of armor protected all the people and horses, and the knight's face was covered by a narrow metal shield, only the eyes looked out along the eye holes, and the weapons were all lances.

Gaochang King Lu Boya's face was like ashes, he was captured for so many days, and he was still angry in his heart, and he was deceived by Yang Yichen to take the city, otherwise when the Eastern Turks sent reinforcements, Gaochang might not die; However, seeing the heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry, Lu Boya realized that the Great Sui did not go all out to deal with Gaochang. Shibi Khan was secretly frightened, constantly calculating how long his cavalry could hold up when it encountered heavy cavalry; The only calm thing is Luo Khan in the mud, the Western Turks are all lost, and there is no need to think about what kind of equipment the Great Sui is.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was a little regretful when he got off the car, the decoration of Xingcheng was much worse than his hopes, and he knew that Pei Ju should be responsible, so it depended on what Yang Xiong said about other arrangements; After the heavy cavalry arranged around the Ned Temple, the square and road were quickly restored to their original state, and they were packed to the brim. The ministers in the center were the closest to Yang Guang's carriage, and they could clearly see a trace of strangeness from Yang Guang, Pei Ju suddenly became smiling, and Duan Wenzhen was a little worried.

Yang Guanglong walked tiger steps, climbed the stairs, and only took a few steps when he saw the guard standing above with a look of astonishment, and suddenly felt that the original humming sound behind him stopped abruptly. Yang Guang only heard someone exclaim the rainbow, looked up, and sure enough, there were colorful colors, and couldn't help but walk up the steps in one breath before standing and turning back.

Everyone in the square was already stunned, and when Yang Guang walked, a rainbow suddenly appeared on his head, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, seven colors shine together, arching like a bridge. Tong Ye Hu looked at the mirage of the desert, saw the rainbow after the rain, and almost couldn't believe the wonder under the scorching sun, Tong Ye Hu blinked his eyes, it was not an illusion, but there was another rainbow, and the two rainbows reflected each other; Three, four, five, and six followed......

Surrounded by rainbows, the Ned Hall is like a temple in a fairyland, with such layers scattered and magnificent; The eaves are pecked high, the corners are hung continuously, the cigarettes are curling, and the green wood is lush, which makes people imagine the orchestral silk bamboo in the deep palace. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty stood there high, and the inner guards were afraid of the steps, and they did not dare to follow, which made the emperor stand tall and swallow mountains and rivers angrily. Yang Xuangan took the lead and knelt down, Shibi Khan knelt down, Gao Gong knelt down, and more and more people in the square knelt down; When the ninth rainbow appeared in the sky, everyone, including Yang Chong, knelt down.

What is the destiny of heaven, what is Zhaorui, the people who are finally present today are finally fortunate to see it, the missions of various countries are knocking on the ground with their heads, and they are terrified, and some small countries that originally had illusions have now completely lost even the courage to resist. Yang Guang looked up at the nine rainbows, his heart was indescribably comfortable, since he ascended the throne, the Guanlongmen valve and the Shandong Shi clan have consciously or unintentionally accused themselves of being incorrect, but today, let you mediocre people see, I am the darling of God, and you can only bow at my feet.

Yang Guang laughed and said, "Flat." ”

As the attendants and the officers on duty reached the square one after another, people stood up one by one, some with smiles on their faces, some with palpitations, Yu Wenkai and He Chou stared at the high steps and platforms without blinking; I saw the rainbow slowly disappear one by one, as abrupt as when it came, and it didn't linger when it went, saying that there was no more. Then standing on the steps, the soldiers began to reorganize the queue, and a soldier began to operate the mechanism near each Huabiao column, and the lotus flowers at the head of the column slowly opened, and six snow-white doves suddenly flew up in the center of each lotus, and the horn of the eagle raised and the worship began.

Yu Wenkai and He Chou breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Chong's Huabiao pillar only had a lever mechanism, and the pigeon's wooden cage must have a mechanism connected to lotus petals. Angatuo, Luo Ersa, and Pan Dan were sweating profusely, they were all masters of pretending to be gods, and they were also the people who didn't believe in the rainbow falling from the sky, but there was no way at all, seeing the rainbow from appearing to disappearing, they couldn't find the actual trick at all, let alone find the fake person.
