It's better not to let Li Yuan, the proud son of heaven, know about it. Who knows if he is the same as Liu Bei and Xiang Yu, who has determined to replace the emperor since he was a child?
Xiao Chuan was fidgeting and his days felt like years. Only Lai Huer looked as usual and stood like a pine.
Finally, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a big black horse and a white horse galloped past.
Qu Tutong was dressed all over, protecting Yang Guang.
Before he could see the ceremony, Xiao Chuan rushed forward and said: "His Royal Highness, General Qu Tu has made a major discovery, please come with me."
Xiao Chuan, Yang Guang, Qu Tutong, and Lai Hu'er came to Huishi Mountain, and saw that hundreds of square meters had been dug at the foot of the stone mountain.
The guard lifted the cover of the branches, revealing a hole more than two meters high.
Qu Tutong led the horse, followed by Yang Guang and Xiao Chuan, and Lai Huer held the big gun in the back.
The cave was relatively narrow at first, but after walking dozens of steps forward, it suddenly opened up.
I saw that the cave is very spacious, as big as a football field, with a height of more than fifty feet.
Lying on the ground were nine bronze figures tens of feet long, each of which was estimated to weigh a million catties.
Even if Yang Guanggui was the prince, his face turned pale with excitement.
Xiao Chuan said: "Your Highness, do you know the origin of these bronze figures?"
Yang Guang finally calmed down, and said: "Xiao Wang checked the secret policy in the palace, and saw that when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he melted the bronze weapons of the six kingdoms into twelve bronze men, and hid them to prevent the six kingdoms. The rest of the country rebelled, and when Xiang Yu invaded Xianyang, the capital of Qin, he dug up three bronze figures and used them as military supplies, but the whereabouts of the other nine bronze figures have been unknown, and they were hidden near Chang'an."
Xiao Chuan said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have obtained the nine bronze figures left by Qin Shihuang."
Yang Guang showed hesitation on his face, and said: "Isn't it good to keep these little bronze figures? Let's dedicate them to the father."
Xiao Chuan said: "Your Highness, I heard that since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has been a practice for hundreds of years. Princes, dukes and nobles have the habit of casting their own coins. The emperors of all dynasties have turned a blind eye. Your Highness can use these bronze figures Mint coins, build a new palace, and give His Majesty a new palace as a filial piety, and His Majesty will definitely be very happy."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "That's right, Xiao Chuan, Xiao Wang will listen to you."
Xiao Chuan slandered: "It's no wonder you don't listen to me, I've understood your research all my life."
Xiao Chuan said: "Your Highness, how do we deal with these bronze figures now?"
Yang Guangdao: "Brother Cheng, you contributed fine peppers to the Great Sui Dynasty. You have worked so hard to cultivate the fields, and your achievements are outstanding. Xiao Wang will first reward you with [-] gold instead of the father."
Xiao Chuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Yang Guang said again: "Qu Tutong found the bronze man. He rewarded him with two thousand gold for his meritorious service in reporting the letter. He rewarded him with one thousand gold for his meritorious service in protecting his children."
Both Qu Tutong and Lai Hu'er were overjoyed, they crossed their hands and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Yang Guangdao: "Qu Tutong, you select reliable men from the soldiers' families to smelt bronze men and cast copper coins in this cave."
Qu Tu said: "The general obeys the order. I will guard the entrance of the cave myself and never let a fly in or out."
Xiao Chuan said: "Your Highness, now that we have copper coins, we can plan the construction of the new palace as soon as possible."
Yang Guang excitedly said: "Well, but Xiao Wang's first step is to build a strong army. In the future, he will learn from the Emperor Qin and Han Wu, who will shock China and sweep the four barbarians."
The three said in unison: "Your Highness is mighty."
Qu Tutong ordered dozens of reliable soldiers to guard the entrance of the bronze man cave, and he led hundreds of recruited soldiers, fathers and brothers, into the cave and began to melt the bronze man and cast copper coins.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nobles of the kingdom minted copper coins privately, and the amount of copper contained was different, which was very confusing.
According to the pattern of the five baht coin made in the first year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty downloaded from Du Niang, Xiao Chuan drew a template for five baht coin for Yang Guang. , engraved with "five baht" on the back.
Yang Guang was very satisfied with the style of the five baht coin, so he deliberately wrote the six characters "Kaihuang Tongbao" and "Wuzhu".
Yang Guang decided that the "five baht coins" had a diameter of 24 mm and a weight of more than three grams. Each coin weighed four catties and two taels.
On the second floor of Chuanji Spicy Hot Pot, in the largest private room, Yang Guang is entertaining several distinguished guests.
Jin Wang Yang Guang sat at the top, followed by the governor of Wuzhou, the Duke of Xiangyi, He Ruobi (styled Fubo), the governor of Luzhou, the Duke of Xinyi County, and Han Qinhu (styled Zitong).
Xiao Chuan and Li Yuan sat next to the prime minister.
Yang Guangdao: "Today, the Duke of Xiangyi County was recommended by Zuo Pushe as the general manager of Wuzhou (now Yangzhou area). Xiao Wang has always admired him very much, this time he went to manage Luzhou, and the whole army was trained in military affairs. Our Great Sui Ping and the destruction of Jiangnan are just around the corner. Today, Xiao Wang practiced for the two generals and won the victory."
He Ruobi said: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Jin for your kindness, Bi must have dedicated himself to the Great Sui Dynasty before dying, drinking victory."
Han Qinhu said: "His Royal Highness King Jin is respectful and virtuous, and he treats us rough people generously. Leopard is grateful in his heart and wins."
Xiao Chuan said: "Xiangyi County is a hero among the princes, but he is humble and sensible, and he strongly supports the farming. He has made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. Among the army of Xinyi County, he is the leader of the three armies. Today, the boy is fortunate to serve one or two, and win the victory."
Li Yuan raised his wine glass and said, "Yuan wishes His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be famous all over the world, and I wish the Duke of Xiangyi and the Duke of Xinyi to strategize and win a thousand miles and win by drinking!"
"Drink wins!"
Everyone toasted and drank together.
Immediately, they ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank with big cups, and the atmosphere was lively.
Yang Guangdao: "Xiao Wang has heard for a long time that the official of Xiangyi County is both civil and military. He has a lot of talent and learning. Can you write a poem to reward him?"
"Okay, His Royal Highness King Jin, Bi will make a fool of himself." He Ruobi pondered for a moment, tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, and wrote a poem: "Jiaohe Hushimu, Hepu Fubo Camp, don't let Qilin go up, there are no names for me."
Everyone applauded.
Han Qinhu said: "Uncle Fu is really all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He can compose poetry when he is off his horse, and can fight war when he is on horseback. No wonder Zuo Pushe recommended you to take a look at Chen's military affairs."
He Ruobi laughed and said, "Brother Zitong will also come up with a song to help the fun."
Han Qinhu said: "If it is about arranging troops, I, Lao Han, can still make gestures and write poems in turn. I am a rolling pin blowing fire, and I don't know anything. I heard that His Royal Highness Jin Wang's poems, poems, and paintings are no different. We still invite His Royal Highness Prince Jin bestows a poem."
He Ruobi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Prince Jin's name has been spread all over the world, and writing a poem will open our eyes."
Yang Guang was happy in his heart, and he didn't refuse, saying: "Okay, I will write a song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River"."
Yang Guang pondered for a while, then hit the chopsticks and sang: "In the evening, the river is flat, and the spring flowers are full of blooming. The waves will carry the moon away, and the tide will bring the stars."
He Ruobi murmured, "The river is still in the evening, and the spring flowers are full of blooming. The waves will carry away the moon, and the tide will bring the stars. Good poetry! At dusk, the river is calm, and the water is calm. On both sides of the river, flowers are in full bloom, and spring is in full swing. The wind blows and the waves are born, the shadow of the moon is uncertain. The waves are splashing, and the stars shine together. This song "Spring River Flower and Moon Night" by His Royal Highness Jin Wang can be said to sweep away the vanity of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is beautiful but not gorgeous, soft but not lewd, and has righteous words The style of style, the spirit of elegant language, can be said to be the first of its kind in a generation of poetry."
