Chapter 39 Emperor Yang's Grand Chen Opera Lasts Half a Month
The year Gengwu (1900) was the sixth year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty.
Xiao Si had just been reborn as Xiao Si when she encountered a grand party that lasted for fifteen days straight, which was incredibly exciting. She joined "Pork Tenderloin" Xiao Nang Jun in celebrating the festival wildly.
Emperor Yang even specially ordered that Luoyang be made beautiful. The trees in the city were decorated with silk, the people were dressed in luxurious clothes, and even the vegetable vendors laid out dragon beard mats on the ground, which was very pleasant.
Emperor Yang of Sui: Friends from the Western Regions, how are you? Welcome to Luoyang, the capital of my Great Sui Dynasty!
Don't miss this dazzling display of lights! Come and listen to the music; doesn't it make you think our Sui Dynasty was incredibly wealthy?!
Envoy from the Western Regions: Wow, what a magnificent sight! The scale and grandeur of this place are even more breathtaking than those of the gods in heaven!
Emperor Yang of Sui: Haha, of course! You can enjoy yourselves to the fullest, eating, drinking, and having fun without spending a penny!
The merchant's wife, Laila, said: "Really? Then I won't be polite, boss! Bring me the best food and wine!"
Restaurant owner: Alright, please sit down. Eat and drink your fill, and you won't spend a penny!
Ali, a merchant from the Western Regions: (whispering) Hey, this boss is really generous, but I've heard that in your so-called big cities, there are still people who are barely clothed?
Emperor Yang of Sui: Oh, those are migrant workers, mostly because they don't work hard. In our Great Sui Dynasty, everyone has food to eat and every family has clothes to wear!
Merchant B from the Western Regions: (with a sly smile) Then why don't you give them the silk used to wrap the tree to make clothes?
Emperor Yang of Sui: (Awkward smile) Well, that... uh, we did this to beautify the environment and let you see the most beautiful Luoyang!
Western Region Merchant Rashid: (Laughs) Haha, Emperor Yang of Sui, your move is truly brilliant! You've given us beautiful scenery and delicious food, and since we're so grateful, we can only listen to your kind words!
Emperor Yang of Sui: (laughs awkwardly) Haha, our Great Sui Dynasty is a land of etiquette, so we must naturally do our best in treating guests!
On the Lantern Festival, Xiao Nangjun led Xiao Si to the bustling Tianjin Street.
A spectacular variety show is being held here, presenting wonderful performances to friends from the Western Regions who have traveled from afar.
The theater was incredibly spacious, covering 5,000 steps, and more than 18,000 performers worked together to create music that carried far and wide, while the lights illuminated the entire city.
Look at the mess this has made! Xu Shiji joined Zhai Rang's Wagang Army when he was 16 years old, and it was in that year that he found Xiaosi.
They opposed Emperor Yang of Sui, so they secretly disguised themselves to watch the play, and incidentally acted as spies.
Later, Li Mi led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Xu Shiji was holding out alone in Liyang. Wei Zheng wrote to him, telling him to assess the situation and choose the right troops.
As for "Pork Tenderloin" Brother, that is, Xu Shiji, he did not immediately offer up the land, nor was he in a hurry to claim the reward.
Instead, he compiled a comprehensive list of information about the troops and the areas under his jurisdiction, and then reported it to Li Mi, letting the leadership make a decision or seeking the opinions of the old leaders.
Li Yuan was not happy when he learned of this, after all, people's hearts were still with others.
At this moment, Xiao Si appeared in Li Yuan's dream and said, "Grandpa, Brother Xu Shiji is not that kind of person. He doesn't want to take advantage of the old leader's failure after he retires. He is not the kind of person who crosses the river and burns the bridge, only caring about his own promotion."
It's strange, Li Yuan doesn't listen to anything anyone says, but he seems to have a soft spot for this little baby in his dream.
Li Yuan himself did not know that this little girl was his future granddaughter, Princess Jinyang.
