The Sui master was so powerful that he entered the wasteland and entered the Guanfeng Hall on the high platform of heaven and earth. The hooves are raised in a hurry, thunder passes by, and frost and rain frequently roll in from the north.

Hu Rong surrendered and knelt in the vast sky, and the majestic monarch was replaced by clouds. The three armies, horse and foot, galloped together and captured Yan across the outside of the fortress.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty marched out of the Great Wall with an army of 500,000 men and entered the grassland. All the tribes and allies in the northern part of the Great Wall came to pay homage, and they were all in awe. When everyone knelt down to worship, only one leader with brown hair and blue eyes looked directly at Queen Xiao, and even forgot to pay homage.

"Leaders, please be free."Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said this, and everyone stood up one after another. In the blink of an eye, they did not notice the man who was prostrating.

Qimin Khan took a step forward, covered his heart with his right hand and said:"Not far to the north is Dali City. I am here. The tooth tent has prepared a great gift and is waiting for the Holy Master."

"Ask Khan to lead the way."

After a simple ceremony, Emperor Sui Yang and Empress Xiao returned to the Guanfeng Palace together and followed Qimin Khan to Dali City. The young man who was peeping at Empress Xiao also disappeared among the crowd.

Although this foreign man behaved rudely , but when he first arrived in the grassland, he was the host and he was a guest. Xiao Jun was not embarrassed to reprimand him in person. When

Guanfeng Xingdian came to Dali City, the so-called city was just a wall built, and there were still Turkic tents in the city. Minister Yu Wenkai had already prepared a huge Baolong Palace Tent for Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

In Dali City, Yu Wenkai arranged for the sergeants to set up the Baolong Palace Tent, which was many times larger than Qimin Khan's tent. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty , Queen Xiao left the Guanfengxing Hall, and Queen Xiao went to the female family members' tooth tent to visit Princess Yicheng; while Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty entered the Baolong Palace Tent to have a banquet with the leaders of various tribes and alliances.

Qimin Khan led the leaders of each tribe and alliance, King Khan, to present fine wine Mutton, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked at the filled glass of wine and said:"I am going to the north of the Great Wall this time. Firstly, I want to visit the leader of each tribe, King Khan. Secondly, I want to visit Princess Yicheng. After all, the two parties have made peace and the Turks have become vassals. We are a family, there is family relationship first, and then there is friendship."

The leaders and the Khan King praised him repeatedly, and Qimin Khan said:"Since I professed my vassalage to the Sui Dynasty, there have been no wars in the northern part of the country for many years. Now we are paving gravel roads to welcome your majesty. On this northern tour, wherever the emperor goes, the slaves will pave the road."

"The Great Khan expressed his sincerity, and I was very relieved. I also prepared generous gifts to reward the Turks."

Qimin Khan did not mince words, he was straightforward and respectful, which made Emperor Sui Yang very happy. After three glasses of wine, Emperor Sui Yang became more interested in poetry and said to everyone:"Today we can meet with the princes in the north of Saibei. Han and Hu are one family. How many kings can there be in ancient times? Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not do this. Please bring me some pen and ink quickly."

The eunuch next to him brought up his pen and ink, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stood up and was very excited. He wrote a poem called"Poetry for a Banquet by the Turkic Lord in the Clouds". The poem said:

The red flag is stationed in Lu Sai, and the green chariot is in Longting. Return. The felt tent is raised to look at the wind, and the dome is open to the sun. Call Han to come, and slaughter the elders one after another. The pigtails are holding the mutton meat, and Wei Kun is offering the wine cup. How is it like the emperor of the Han Dynasty, standing alone on the platform in the sky.

A five-character poem, All the Khans and kings praised him repeatedly and stood up to worship Emperor Sui Yang again and again. They all showed their loyalty and fell to the ground in awe. However, Emperor Sui Yang was more proud and aloof than Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He still drank and talked happily without doing anything. To elaborate.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty held a banquet for all the Khan kings in the treasure tent, while Queen Xiao went to the Ya tent of the female family members to visit Princess Yicheng. Princess Yicheng was the daughter of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and the biological sister of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. In order to make a marriage between Han and Han, he married a Turk and became the concubine of Qimin Khan.

Qimin Khan and Princess Yicheng were an old husband and a young wife. At this time, Qimin Khan was already over sixty years old, while Princess Yicheng was less than Thirty years old. Queen Xiao and Princess Yicheng met. The sisters-in-law were respectful to each other. The princess also prepared a banquet on the grassland for Queen Xiao to wash away the dust.

As soon as the two sisters filled a glass of wine, Queen Xiao noticed that the waiter next to her was Among the few people, there was the man from a foreign land who was peeping at her when they were waiting for him.

Queen Xiao saw this man squinting at her and was embarrassed to reprimand her directly, so she tactfully said to Princess Yicheng:"That big man. The slave of the nose, running before and after today is considered a hard job, who is this?

Princess Yicheng shouted to the man:"Chu Luo, I haven't seen the Queen yet.""

The man named Chu Luo hurriedly came over and knelt down. In a blunt Chinese language, he knelt down and worshiped:"Chu Luo pays homage to the Queen.

Princess Yicheng ordered someone to give Chu Luo a seat and said to Queen Xiao,"This is Chu Luo, the second prince of Qimin Khan.""

Empress Xiao thought about Qimin Khan's appearance. Although he was slightly different from the Central Plains people, he didn't look like a pure Westerner like Chu Luo, so she asked:"The Ai family thinks this Hu'er is different. Why do they look so different from Qimin Khan?"

Princess Yicheng said:"Qimin Khan has three sons, all of whom were born to his first wife. The first wife, Concubine Khan, was a woman from the Western Regions, with red hair and blue eyes. The appearance of these two princes took after that woman from the Western Regions."

Queen Xiao nodded and said with a smile:"It turns out that my sister-in-law became the stepmother of three children as soon as she got married to the grassland." Princess Yicheng also laughed along with her.

……

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stayed in Dali City for two days, got to know the customs of the Northern Saipei, and rewarded the leaders of the Northern Sailor who greeted him. He decided to patrol east along the line of the Great Wall. An army of 500,000 people escorted the Guanfengxing Palace, while Qimin Khan personally led the Turkic cavalry. Escorts accompany you.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was quite satisfied with Qimin Khan's respect and allayed a lot of worries. Along the way, I sometimes looked at the grassland, sometimes recited poems and wrote ink, and felt very proud.

But Queen Xiao Jun felt like she was carrying a rabbit in her heart. Ever since Na Chuluo took a bold peek, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty seemed to see what was on the Queen's mind, and asked:"What is the Queen's unspeakable matter? She has always remained silent these past two days."

Queen Xiao thought for a moment and said,"When I first arrived in Dali City the day before yesterday, I saw a wack"

"What weirdo?"

"Chuluo, the second prince of Qimin Khan, always stared at his concubine, which made her very uncomfortable."

"There is such a cowardly person, it is really rude, why didn’t the Queen tell her earlier?

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly became angry and his eyes widened. Queen Xiao said:"Your Majesty, please calm down. How can I fall out in front of Princess Yicheng?""

"That's right. I was worried about the Turks at first, but I didn't expect that there are really bold and rude people."

"I feel that Chuluo is a bastard and does not understand etiquette. Your Majesty does not need to be angry with Chuluo for this. The Sui Dynasty and the Turks have been fighting for many years and finally achieved peace. Don't hurt the overall situation because of this rude act.. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sighed and said:"To be honest with the Queen, I was not at ease with the Turks at first, so I considered building a war path on the way to strengthen the defense. When I arrived at Dali City, I saw that all the Khans were loyal, and I felt that I could worry less." But after hearing what the Queen said, I felt uneasy again."

"Do you think you should worry about the entire Turkic tribe because of a rude person?"Xiao Jun asked

"Chu Luo's actions show that his wild nature has not changed. He was just in awe of the Sui army for a while, but deep down he was still a wolf who couldn't be fed enough."

"The subtleties are all right by His Majesty. Your Majesty is really far-sighted. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought for a while, and then sent an order to Xiao Cong, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, and Zhuge Ying to meet him. They hurriedly entered the Guanfengxing Hall. The four ministers sat around and discussed matters with the emperor. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I would like to ask you, how did the Turks perform during this northern patrol?"

Xiao Cong said:"The Turks are loyal to His Majesty and are respectful and reassuring. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked at Yu Wenshu and others, and asked,"Do your beloved ministers also think so?""

"I think the same thing as my uncle."Yu Wen said.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty shook his head and said:"In the eyes of the princes, the Turks are very sincere, but I am not at ease with the Turks at all. When I met with the Khans in Dali City, some people were so bold that they dared to peek at the queen.!"

"ah!"Yu Wenshu asked:"Who is so rude? The queen and mother are so arrogant to the world and the beauty of the country. Isn't it possible for these barbarians to look at her and think randomly!"

Yu Shiji also said:"Who is it? The emperor should be punished"

"Chuluo, the second prince of Qimin Khan"

"this……"Everyone was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. Zhuge Ying bowed and said:"Excuse me, this trip north, all the tribes and alliances are sincerely convinced by Your Majesty, which is beneficial to the court. If Luo is punished for this matter, I'm afraid he will be at odds with Qi Min." Khan has built up resentment. After all, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. I hope your majesty will be far-sighted and consider the overall situation."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty pointed at Zhuge Ying:"Ai Qing is right, I can't do anything to Chu Luo at this time. But Qimin Khan is sixty years old. Although he is loyal, one day both Qimin Khan and Princess Yicheng will die. Who can guarantee that their descendants will also be loyal? I really feel like I am living next to a wolf."

Yu Wen said:"Your Majesty Mingjian, I also feel that the Turks are a worry after all."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stood at the window of the imperial study room. The window faced the south. What came into view was the ancient Great Wall. At this time, the Great Wall was already in many parts. , although it still stands on the northern frontier and looks like a natural barrier, it still reveals ruins here and there.

With a long cry, I saw an eagle passing by in the sky, flying proudly inside and outside the Great Wall, wandering among the grasslands and deserts, dotted with the tragic wind of the ancient country in the north of the Great Wall for thousands of years.

"Have you seen the Great Wall? That is from the Qin Dynasty. Do you still remember Qin Zhidao? Also from the Qin Dynasty. I can defend against the Turks for a while, but not forever. We cannot count on the little family fortune Qin Shihuang left behind."Emperor Sui Yang said.

Several ministers looked at each other and looked at Emperor Sui Yang doubtfully. Yu Wenshu asked:"What does the emperor mean?"

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said sternly:"I want to rebuild the Great Wall, and it will be called the Sui Great Wall; I also want to build a battle road, which will be called the Sui Chi Road. Sooner or later it will be used to defend against Turks in the future."

Although Xiao Cong, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, and Zhuge Ying are talented in literary and military skills, their thinking is obviously not as fast as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. They were all stunned for a while.

Xiao Cong asked first:"I am ignorant, how dare you ask the emperor? , Qinzhi Road can already connect north and south, why bother to build Sui Chi Road?"

"Huh," Emperor Yang of Sui said contemptuously:"Qin Shihuang would be great if he opened up the north and south directly. I also want to build a road that runs from east to west, from Yulin to Zhuojun, through the Taihang Mountains, and from east to west!"

Whether it is building the Great Wall or building Chi Road, it is a huge project. Several ministers were at a loss. Even Yuwenshu, the most ingratiating person, bowed his head and said nothing. Everyone was speechless.

Only Emperor Yang of Sui was arrogant and complacent and treated Yuwenshu. , Xiao Cong said:"Qin Shihuang can build the 'straight road', and I can build the 'chi road'; Qin has the Great Wall of Qin, and Sui has the Great Wall of Sui." What my ancestors could do, I can do too."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty immediately ordered Xiao Cong, Duke of Ju, and Yu Wenshu, Duke of Xu, to secretly rush back to the capital from the Great Wall pass to prepare for the two major projects of excavating Chi Road and rebuilding the Great Wall. However, Emperor Sui Yang continued his eastward tour.

In the third year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty , In 607 AD, the imperial court sent an order to recruit strong men from ten counties in Hedong and Hebei along the way to excavate the Sui Chi Road from Taihang Mountain in the west to Yulin and in the east to Youzhou. It was widened by a hundred paces and thousands of miles long. Hundreds of thousands of laborers were also recruited to rush along the Great Wall. , the Great Wall of the Sui Dynasty began to be renovated.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had not yet returned from his northern tour, and the people along the Great Wall and at the foot of the Taihang Mountains were not in peace, causing every family to work hard. As if the whole country was serving, the two major projects were hurriedly started. It can be said that:

The Great Wall is heaped with thousands of bones. How many people will follow when the Great Wall is opened again? Meng and Jiang wept in the Qin Dynasty, and the people mourned each other from afar in the Sui Dynasty. The monarch has thousands of thoughts to cross, and all living beings suffer under the sweat of the conqueror. The dream of ambition is unsolved in the world, and things are unknown. Where is the danger?
