Chapter Fifty-Six: Shenghong Sword
Bala Toast replied, "It's called the Holy Sword." ”
"Shenghong Sword, good name, good name. The Bala brothers are waiting for good news. ”
The palace of the Yuan Dynasty, in the most prominent position in Yanjing, represents the era of imperial power, the tall city tower is like a huge monster, under the sunlight, the outline is clear. For many people who have never been there, the palace is a paradise in their imagination, and only a few people of noble status can enter its deep palace compound and witness its magnificence and sacredness.
The entrance of the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty Chongtian Gate stands solemnly, two figures walk quickly from the white marble corridor on both sides, the soldiers standing on both sides all look grim, their eyes are unblinking, faithfully guarding the Chongtian Gate, this is the gate to the palace, the Daming Hall is behind it, and the Chongtian Gate is the last barrier. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang led the Ming army to attack Yanjing, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Chongtianmen and Daming Hall were destroyed in flames. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di decided to move the capital to Beiping, and once again demolished all the inner buildings of the Yuan Dynasty, and suffered several disasters, and the buildings of the Yuan Dynasty almost did not exist. The place where Bala Tusi trembled and passed through still retains its glory, and Turibu, who often enters the palace, is accustomed to seeing it, and appears to be calm and composed.
The Daming Hall with I-shaped layout appears in front of you, the white jade stone fence of the carved dragon and phoenix emits a white luster next to the high stone steps, the rows of red columns extend to the inside of the palace, the dragon chair sits on the Yuan ancestor Kublai Khan, the hero on horseback led the Yuan army to the south and the north, in 1271, changed the name of the "Great Mongolia" to Yuan, moved the capital to Yanjing in 1272, and then raised troops to the south, the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger.
Bala Tusi knelt under the temple, lowered his head, his body trembled, although he and Kublai Khan is a fellow countryman, fought side by side, at that time Kublai Khan in Mongolia honored the name "Xue Chan Khan", in 1252 Kublai Khan was ordered to conquer Dali, Bala followed him on the left and right, because of the remarkable merits, Kublai Khan once patted him on the shoulder and called him the steppe eagle, at that time Kublai Khan was not so high, approachable. Now that he is the emperor, the hollow carved dragon gold lacquer screen behind him gives him a fantasy and mythical color, and the power in his hands can allow him to get a qiē. Of course, the strict boundaries have created a distance between the monarch and the ministers, and the emperor's life is given by heaven, otherwise how to call him a dragon.
A loud voice came from inside the Daming Palace, and this voice was majestic and heavy, passing through the main hall and reaching below: "General Xuanbala went to the temple to meet the saint." ”
Bala Tusi was excited in his heart, the name of Bala Tusi was rarely called, and the people in his jurisdiction called him the respected Bala Tusi, but the saint still remembered that he was once a general who galloped across the field, and he was injured and scarred. Bala Toast's eyes moistened, he walked up the steps in a few steps, trotted all the way to the temple and knelt down, bowed his body, and shouted three long live.
A strong voice came from the dragon chair: "General Bala, don't talk about these etiquettes to me, get up." ”
Bala Toast returned: "The minister does not dare. ”
"If you are told to get up, you will get up, there are so many rules, you were born and died on the battlefield back then, and every time you won a battle, you were arrogant in front of me, what's wrong today, it's not like your character. ”
Bala Toast stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "I am not honored that the Holy One still remembers Bala. ”
Kublai Khan stepped down from the dragon chair, his figure was tall and majestic, he was wearing a dragon robe, and his bearing was extraordinary, he came to Bala Tusi and patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's still so powerful, we Mongolians have practiced martial arts since childhood, and we are known as a nation on horseback, and the Han people can look down on us and think that we are rude, that is, we rude people defeated the civilized people, sat on the dragon chair of the Han people, and became their master." ”
Bala Toast said, "The Holy One is wise." ”
"The saint is not wise, it is his brothers who were born and died for me, so that there is a great yuan world, including you, General Bala, hahaha......" Kublai Khan laughed.
"General Bala, I heard that you came to present your sword to me today, how about it compare to my sword?" Kublai Khan asked.
The Yuan army knew that Kublai Khan liked to use knives, Kublai Khan's long-handled knife was the most famous, it was made of the finest iron, the handle was one foot five inches long, which could be grasped by both hands, the blade was long and wide and heavy, and the upper part was flat. In close combat, a single slash can cut off the enemy's head or limbs, which is extremely sharp.
Bala Toast replied, "Holy Lord, although Bara's sword cannot be compared with the Holy Sword, it is also the best of the swords. After speaking, he presented the sword with both hands, and the soldiers next to him nervously surrounded him, holding weapons in the Daming Hall and seeing that the emperor was guilty of killing the monarch and wanted to destroy the nine clans.
Kublai Khan waved his hand to make them stand down and said, "Bala and I are like brothers, I believe in him," he said, taking the sword and asking, "What is it called?"
"Holy Lord, I named it Shenghong Sword. ”
