Chapter 417 : Sui Sui died for this river

The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is known as the world's largest river, occupying most of the water system in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Since Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, he recruited more than one million civilians in March of the first year of Daye and dug the Tongji Canal. The Tongji Canal starts from the west of Luoyang.

The garden, east to Shanyang (now Huaian, Jiangsu), on the edge of the Huai River, communicated with Luoshui, Yellow River, and Huai River, and then connected to the Han (pronunciation: Han) ditch opened by King Fuchai of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, leading to the Yangtze River.

The canal connecting the Jiangnan water system was built in just five months by millions of hard-working people.

This good news soon attracted Yang Guang's favor.

In August of the first year of Daye, Yang Guang led his fleet to set off from Luoyang and headed to Jiangdu by dragon boat. The dragon boat was 45 feet high, fifty feet wide, and two hundred feet long. The entire dragon boat was divided into four levels, with the upper part of the main hall.

, the inner hall and the east and west courts, the two levels in the middle are 160 rooms, all of which are made of gold and jade, carved patterns, and the lower levels are eunuchs and eunuchs. The dragon boat has hall feet (i.e. the boat holder) and 1,080 people.

He used a large black silk ribbon to lead forward. The palace feet were all wearing brocade robes. The boat the queen was riding on was called Xiangchi (sound: Chi), which was slightly smaller than the dragon boat and the same decoration. It was introduced by 900 people at the palace feet.

The concubine was riding a floating boat, with a total of nine boats, each with two hundred people. The ship that the noble, beautiful and the concubine of the Sixteen Courtyard was called Yangcai boat, with a total of thirty-six boats, each with a total of one hundred boat.

In addition, there are thousands of gorgeous ships on various types, with palace people, princesses, monks, nuns and Taoists, envoys from various countries, and palace guards. There are more than 800 people in total. This magnificent and powerful people are here.

The fleet of ships, head to tail, and lasted when sailing in the canal, was more than 200 miles in front and back. There were escorts of 200,000 cavalry on both sides, horse hooves were trampled, and flags were blocked. The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou was infinitely prosperous.

However, this prosperity is like a flash in the pan. With the death of Yang Guang and the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou slowly returned to its past immersion. After the Tang and Song dynasties, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou has now started from Beijing (Zhuo).

County), to Hangzhou (Yuhang), pass through Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, and connect to the five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River, controlling the entire river transport in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of these are

The river luck happened to fall into Zhang Shicheng's hands.

The night is dark, the full moon is in the sky, and the Grand Canal is covered with silver.

Zhang Shixin was wearing a white Confucian robe, playing with paper fans in his hand, slowly crossed several corridors, and left the station on the railing of a pavilion, looking up at the river water shining by the moonlight. The river was as quiet as a mirror, reflecting it

His figure cannot reflect his appearance.

All the things that happened to the Sui Dynasty was the river, and it has been dependent on the waves for thousands of miles. If there were no dragon boats in the Water Palace, Yu would not have made much contribution to it.

Zhang Shixin played with the paper fan, his black eyes lowered his head and looked at the calm river, murmured at Pi Rixiu's masterpiece.

"call"

The clothes flashed, and a figure flashed out of the Liu Shulin next to him like lightning. He stood gently not far away from Zhang Shixin, and stood silently, until Zhang Shixin stopped murmuring, and the person came to kneel on the ground with one leg and held his fists.

He bowed and shouted: "Second Young Master!"

Zhang Shixin held his hands behind his back and did not turn around. He just sighed softly, glanced at his figure swaying in the water, and asked, "Have you found out clearly?"

"Yes!" The visitor responded and continued: "Bei Zhi failed to assassinate his brother, he has been following him. I don't know how this kid contacted Fang Guozhen's sister Fang Taiping. The kid took the Seventh Prince's daughter to Taiping Villa.

, I spent the whole afternoon in the attic, and I don’t know what I did, but when Bei Zhi was waiting for him to come out, I saw Fang Taiping looking at his back for a long time, and seemed to be reluctant to let it go!”

"Why do you want to accompany this kid? Wherever you go, you have a woman? Her luck in love is so good!" Zhang Shixin murmured a few words, and suddenly his body flashed and turned around. Two lights were on the person who came.

He looked at it and shouted, "Tell me quickly, where is this kid now?"

The person who came trembled and hurriedly said, "Go back to the second young master, Bei Zhi has been following him. The boy left Taiping Villa and is now coming to the canal. I think he wanted to borrow a boat to rush back to the Tartar camp!"

Zhang Shixin sneered and said, "Hurry back to the camp, this kid lives in Dazhou, and now the Japanese prince will make him come and go!"

"Yes, the young master takes action himself, that kid will definitely not survive!" The person who came took the opportunity to flatter him.

Zhang Shixin snorted coldly and said, "Okay, stop flattering, that kid will come soon, hurry up and be prepared, you must not miss this time!"

"Yes!" The visitor lowered his head and responded, and looked up again. Zhang Shixin's figure had disappeared.

The visitor stood up and looked around, but he didn't know when Zhang Shixin had left. He shook his head and muttered: "I'm leaving so fast!" After saying that, he raised his figure and brought a gust of cold wind.

The figure sank into the dark night.

All the things that happened to the Sui Dynasty was because of this river, and it has been dependent on the waves for thousands of miles. If there were no dragon boats in the Water Palace, Yu would not have much contribution to it...

On the banks of the Grand Canal, two figures walked over. The man was burly and handsome. He had a single knife on his waist and sang softly against the calm canal. He was following a girl, who was next to him.

Her complexion is white, and her peerless face is clearly shining under the sunlight. At this moment, she is looking at the green willows on both sides of the canal. It is autumn. Most of the green willows on both sides of the shore are yellow, but they are streaked.

The river bank is drooping upside down, accompanied by thick water mist, and the night wind is gently blown, and large patches of willow catkins dance with the wind. The catkins are as white as snow. Looking at the dark night, they are indescribable beauty.

The woman seemed to have never seen such a scene before. She suddenly saw the beautiful scene of Liu Xuruxue. She immediately excitedly pulled the sleeve of the man beside her and kept shouting: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, look, you hurry up, hurry up

Look at the beautiful snowflakes!"
