Chapter 933: Commander of the Capital Garrison
This female cavalry general is none other than the secret spy who was originally sent to Tibet by Dongchang and lurked beside Duo Chiluo-Wolf Girl Arsenic.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and this little wolf girl is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day. Nowadays, the silver helmet is bright, the armor is a moon scimitar, and the dark clouds are splashed with ink for thousands of miles, what a heroic female general.
Arsenic saw Guo Ye, but her face did not show much change, she still looked like an ancient well, I saw her clenching one hand into a fist on her chest, bowing slightly, and giving a military salute to Guo Ye in a decent manner, and said crisply: "Under the command of Queen Yunrong, arsenic is the commander of the garrison of the capital, and he has come to welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty into Luoqi City." “
As she spoke, she raised her arm slightly sideways and waved at the cavalry behind her.
Swish~
The cavalry of more than 100 people ordered the ban, and immediately divided into two rows, and raised the scimitar slightly at forty-five degrees neatly, and shouted in unison: "Welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty into the city!" ”
Good guy, there is really a bit of a majestic and majestic posture of a hundred battles, but Guo Ye can hear it, Nima's, these hundred or so cavalrymen are all women.
This group of cavalry from top to bottom, without exception, are women, which is really eye-opening.
Guo Ye spoofed and speculated, could it be that Yu Wenqian, the girl, still wants to turn the Tubo country into a daughter country?
However, he is more concerned about the attitude of arsenic, not salty and indifferent, with a cold face of business, Guo Ye secretly pondered, revealing eccentricity, and there was a lot of articles in it.
Arsenic shouted again: "Please invite the envoy into the city, the queen heard that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was visiting, and she has set up a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the envoy." ”
Guo Ye nodded slightly, and after glancing meaningfully at Arsenic, he ordered Zhao Jiuchou to wave his army straight into Luo Qi City with Arsenic.
This was Guo Ye's first time entering the city of Lhasa, but in later generations, he did not travel to Lhasa.
Today's city of Raksha is really incomparable with Lhasa in later generations, and the difference is 108,000 miles.
Guo Ye walked behind with the arsenic cavalry, secretly looked at the buildings and scale of the city, and compared it with Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two words: shabby!
This is also called the capital of Tibet?
It's too shabby, it's too simple, it's too short and frustrating!
Halfway through the journey, arsenic suddenly turned the horse's head and slowly came to Guo Ye's side, and said, "Your Excellency, there is the palace not far ahead, and the queen has an order, please go alone." As for your men and retinue, they can only be stationed here for the time being, and they are not allowed to move forward, let alone bring a single soldier into the palace. ”
Before Guo Ye could speak, Danzhu next to him was not happy and shouted, "Why don't you let us go with you to protect my family into the palace?" ”
Zhao Jiuchou also muttered in Guo Ye's ear with a worried face: "Little brother, you must not enter the palace alone, in case they ...... you."
"Haha, nine ugly, you think too much."
Guo Ye chuckled, waved his hand, and whispered in Zhao Jiuchou's ear: "Don't forget my current identity, I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Queen Yunrong is now unstable in Tubo, how can Yu Wenqian dare to disadvantage me?" Hehe, this woman is shrewd and won't be so stupid. She is now anxious to get rid of the conservative forces of Lu De Nai and the Tubo State. And not me, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Rest assured! ”
After that, Guo Ye said generously to arsenic: "Arsenic, lead the way, I also want to see how magnificent the Potala Palace in Tubo is." ”
Guo Ye has visited the Potala Palace more than once in later generations, but the real and original Potala Palace is only now available to see it.
He is looking forward to this.
……
……
Potala Palace.
It stands on the red mountain at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in the northwest of Tubo Luoqi, and is a large-scale palace-style building complex.
It covers a total area of 360,000 square meters, with a total building area of 130,000 square meters, and the main building is more than 100 meters high, with a total of 13 floors. In the royal palace, there are not only the palaces of the royal family, but also the spiritual pagoda hall, the Buddha hall, the scripture hall, the monk's house, and the courtyard of Tibetan Buddhism, which is the highest altitude and largest palace-style building complex in the world.
Guo Ye stood at the foot of the Red Mountain and looked up at the overlapping of the buildings, the palace, the majestic Potala Palace, and sighed in his heart, because the Potala Palace built on the top of the mountain is far from being comparable to the Potala Palace in Lhasa for tourists to visit in later generations.
There is a great tendency to be born out of thin air and penetrate the sky.
The Potala Palace is the ruling center of the Tibetan rulers, and it is also the winter palace of the Dase Lama in later generations, and it will always be the most dazzling and eye-catching existence in the Tibetan country.
Guo Ye knew that this Potala Palace was specially built for himself after Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne, and it took several years to build it at the cost of all the financial, material and manpower resources of the Tubo State.
It's a pity that Songtsen Gampo is also an unblessed person, and just a few years after the completion of the Potala Palace, others hung up. This suddenness may not have been expected by history.
Guo Ye set off from the foot of the Red Mountain with the arsenic and trekked up towards the Potala Palace on the top of the mountain. The road from the bottom of the mountain to the palace on the mountain is naturally not as convenient and labor-saving as the later generations of tourism, and it takes a lot of effort, Rao is Guo Ye's body is strong, and after climbing to the top of the mountain, he is also tired and panting, sweating like rain.
On the other hand, arsenic is not much better than Guo Ye, holding on to a boulder, panting and squeamish.
It's really fucking tired, Guo Ye is really speechless for a while, it's so hard to enter the palace, Songtsan Gampo is really idle enough, he actually built the palace on a mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, is this something to do when he is full?
Of course, in addition to the depreciation, he can also understand the real purpose of Songtsen Gampo's move, he built the palace on the high mountain, nothing more than to keep a distance from the Tibetan people, maintain the glorious image of himself on the high, so that the foolish people will always maintain the psychology of worship and admiration for their Zampu.
This is all the remaining tricks played by the feudal monarchs of previous dynasties, but Songtsen Gampo played it more evilly.
After resting for a while, Arsenic straightened up, raised his hand and pointed to the palace gate not far in front of him, and said, "Your Excellency, without the queen's order, the last general will not be allowed to enter the palace without permission. Therefore, I can only send you here, and someone will greet you in front of you and bring you into the palace to meet Queen Yunrong. ”
Guo Ye waved his hand, and said generously: "Okay, I'll go over by myself, you can go down the mountain first." ”
After speaking, he also straightened up and straightened out the purple robe on his body, supported the official hat on his head, repaired his appearance a little, and was about to walk forward.
Suddenly, arsenic lowered his voice and whispered: "Master Hou, please stay!" ”
Guo Ye stopped abruptly and turned to look back at Arsenic, his expression slightly surprised, because he heard Arsenic just call him Hou Ye, not the formulaic envoy.
After he turned around, he saw arsenic put his hand on his chest and whispered: "Master Hou, arsenic will always be a person from Dongchang and will always be loyal to Master Hou." Before, because of the many eyeliners in and outside the city, please forgive arsenic for not asking Hou Ye for peace. ”
Guo Ye smiled when he heard this, subconsciously glanced at him twice, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said in a low voice: "Arsenic, you really didn't disappoint Benhou." ”
Arsenic is one of the first dark chess pieces that Guo Ye ambushed in Dongchang, followed Yu Wenqian to Tuyuhun and then moved to Tubo.
Arsenic cautiously looked back left and right, and glanced at the guards at the gate of the palace in the distance without a trace, and then hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please rest assured, the few dark chess pieces you planted in the East Factory before have not defected, and the big guys are looking forward to the day when they can set things right and serve Lord Hou." This time, the opportunity has finally come. Although Hou Ye entered the palace boldly with confidence, the palace guards inside were also our people, and they were also one of the secret chess pieces you had placed beside Yu Wenqian before. Moreover, Queen Yunrong trusted him so much that even Mrs. Yuwen never doubted his identity. ”
After listening to this, Guo Ye was moved in his heart, and said solemnly: "Arsenic, you have worked hard for such a long time. Ben Hou came to Tibet this time, and he must regain control of the East Factory. Yu Wenqian, it's time for this girl to hand over Benhou's East Factory. ”
Arsenic shook his head and said, "Master Hou, this is not the place to speak. After you finish the palace banquet between Queen Yunrong and Lady Yuwen, the last general will invite a few other secret chess pieces to find a chance to meet with Hou Ye. Master Hou, please take care, the arsenic will go down the mountain first. ”
With that, arsenic immediately turned around and left the mountain as fast as thunder.
Guo Ye watched the arsenic gradually disappear until it became a white dot figure, and muttered secretly: "Okay, with your help, these city veters are at least fifty percent sure of winning it!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, he had already turned around, looking at the Potala Palace that was close at hand, moving forward, he chuckled lightly, and muttered with confidence:
"Yu Wenqian, I'm here!"
