The central axis of Luoyang starts from Mang Mountain in the north, passes through the Imperial City, the Tianjin Bridge on the Luoshui River, Jianguomen in the Waiguo City, and extends to Longmen Yique in the south. This is the central axis in Yang Guang's mind.

And the new buildings outside the city use the central axis as the basis, echoing with the stars in the sky, making this line from the landmark meaning of a city to the dragon vein of a dynasty.

Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into two parts: the palace city and the imperial city. The palace city in the north is also called Ziwei City, and the imperial city south of the palace city and north of Luoshui is also called Taiwei City. It spans two artificial islands on both sides of Luoshui.

The three bridges are Xingjin Bridge, Tianjin Bridge, and Huangdao Bridge; after crossing the Huangdao Bridge, you will reach the main entrance of the imperial city.

When the large army crossed the Huangdao Bridge and arrived outside Duanmen, they saw a large number of people and guards gathered on the huge square in front of the gate. The heavy tower on the city gate, which was said to be too microscopic, was even more decorated with red and colorful colors, making it a festive scene.

.

Wherever the group passed, there were endless screams and shouts. At the same time, many women and children stood on tiptoes and glanced at the marching team. And Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor, stood at the gate of the city with a red face and personally

He poured celebratory wine for Yang Ji, Da Xi Jing and other generals, and declared to all the soldiers and civilians the importance he attached to the meritorious soldiers.

After Yang Ji poured three large bowls of wine and handed over the seal, Yang Guang personally gave the order to the soldiers to remove their armor.

Except for Yang Ji, Da Xijing and others who were qualified to enter the palace with swords, the other soldiers removed their armor one after another, and then they continued to walk forward under the leadership of generals at all levels and the imperial guards.

After entering Duanmen, the imperial city was filled with golden-armored guards. They sang every three steps and praised every five steps. Some generals and ordinary soldiers who had never entered the palace were trembling with excitement.

Later, Yang Guang announced a state banquet to be held that night at the Zetian Gate at the intersection of the imperial city and the palace, and rewarded these victorious soldiers in Zetianmen Square and the Qianyang Hall, the first of the three main halls.

Today is the triumphal day of the army. No one would talk about trivial matters such as official matters at this time. However, Yang Guang left in the middle of the meal. This is also the custom of the banquet. After all, his presence as the emperor will make the people below feel uncomfortable.

He is restrained, so he often leaves first when he is halfway through the meal.

Yang Ji originally wanted to go home to see his long-lost relatives, but Yang Guang sent someone to call him to the Huiyou Hall at the back.

"I've met my brother!" Yang Ji came closer and bowed.

Yang Guang helped Yang Ji up and said with a long smile: "You boy really lived up to my high expectations! Especially for your handling of Sumo Mohe, Xi tribe, and Goguryeo, you are worthy of my appointment as commander-in-chief."

of my mind.”

Before he ascended the throne, Yang Guang was a general with great military exploits and was accustomed to killing and attacking. After he ascended the throne, the success of the military reform and the pacification of Yang Liang gave him a feeling of admiration for the heaven and the earth. But the Khitan's arrogance

The invasion severely trampled on his vanity. Yang Ji's decisive killing in Liaozhou was exactly what he wanted, especially his move to annihilate the Goguryeo Northern Expeditionary Army in the name of Sumo Mohe. He was full of praise and was so happy that he couldn't sleep at night.

sleep soundly.

In the past few days, the surrounding foreign tribes have sent envoys to the court one after another. Even Goguryeo also sent envoys to explain the "misunderstanding". Yang Guang felt that the foreign tribes would not talk about benevolence and righteousness with you at all, so the Sui Dynasty not only extended favors to the foreign tribes, but also

They must be killed and killed. Only in this way can they be made to be obedient and behave like dogs.

Seeing that Yang Guang was a little too happy, Yang Ji asked curiously: "I wonder what other happy events have happened to my brother?"

"This can be regarded as a blessing from you!" Yang Guang returned to the main seat and sat down. After Yang Ji sat across from him, he continued: "Every year in the twelfth lunar month, the surrounding foreign races all send envoys to congratulate me during the Sui Dynasty. In the past, all races

The greetings are not obvious

How grand must it be, and your tough attitude in Liangzhou frightened everyone in the Western Regions. There were more than thirty foreign kings and chiefs who came to participate in the ceremony of moving the capital. The size of the envoys coming to the DPRK was huge.

There are many rare treasures.”

"And this time, you are killing people in the Northeast again, which makes all the countries and races in the Northeast witness the toughness of the Sui Dynasty; according to the latest news from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the King of Baekje and the King of Silla in the east,

The great chiefs of Shiwei in the north and south, as well as the princes of Japan in the sea, will lead their delegations to the court."

"Once these kings enter the court at the end of the year, this year will definitely be the biggest event in the history of the Central Plains!"

After hearing this, Yang Ji was also proud of it. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "What do Goguryeo and Tuyuhun say?"

"The envoy from Goguryeo who came to explain said he would come, but it is currently unknown whether the envoy is Gao Yuan or someone else." Yang Guang glanced at Yang Ji and said rather gloatingly: "Tuyuhun wanted to come, but

However, our officers and soldiers strictly followed your orders and did not allow the Tuyuhun people to pass at all. I don’t know exactly how to do it. Anyway, I only know that they will kill one person who enters Tuyuhun, and kill two people who enter the country."

"It is precisely because our Sui army was so powerful that we have today's grand occasion." Yang Ji looked at Yang Guang strangely and continued: "And the demonstration methods of many kings in history turned out to be to show off their wealth; it's ridiculous

It is a waste of money and people, and instead of serving as a deterrent, it is embarrassing and becomes a laughing stock."

Yang Guang laughed and said proudly: "If you think about it carefully, the actions of those foolish kings are really ridiculous."

Yang Ji: "..."

He remembered that Yang Guang in the history books foolishly showed off his wealth in order to demonstrate to many foreign envoys. Not only did he not allow the poor to take to the streets, he also asked the big trees on the streets to be wrapped with silk and satin. When the people sold goods to the foreigners,

Not even a penny was collected.

When the foreign envoys asked why there was no charge, the merchants said that the Sui Dynasty was rich and there was no need to charge for guests' food and accommodation. When the foreign envoys talked about what they saw and heard on the road, the caravan was reluctant to answer. However, Yang Guang in front of him was indifferent.

Under the influence of his influence, he became more pragmatic and more like Yang Jian. He never had the qualifications of "Long Yan Dayue" to surpass his enemies. This change was undoubtedly a blessing of the Sui Dynasty.

"It's such a good time, why don't you see your sister-in-law?" In the past, at this stage, Empress Xiao had set up a family banquet for him early, but now she didn't see anyone and there was no family banquet. Yang Ji felt a little surprised.

When he asked, Yang Guang became even happier and laughed loudly: "A Ying is about to give birth, so the Queen went to your house to check and inquire if she was okay. She went there early today. This is also the reason why I didn't hold a family banquet. You first

Go back!"

"Farewell!" Yang Ji was overjoyed, got up and ran out.

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. He chased after him with a smile, and said loudly to Yang Ji's back: "Do you know where your home is?"

"Huh?" Yang Ji stopped and turned around to look at Yang Guang in a daze.

Dugumin is a big real estate owner. She sold a lot of land in Luoyang and built many private gardens. Yang Ji only knew that the palace of Prince Wei, which represented the main residence, was built in Jingshanfang on the other side of the imperial city. As for which song it was in, he knew

Not sure anymore.

When Yang Guang saw this, he immediately said with a smile: "I'd better send someone to take you there!"

"Thank you!"
