In the spring of the sixth year of Wei Xing'an's reign, Zhu Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was responsible for the construction of the new capital Luoyang, once again reported to Chui Gong Hall on the progress of Luoyang's construction.

It has been five years since the construction of the new capital Luoyang was started automatically, but in this era, the speed of construction is absolutely amazing.

After all, Luoyang, the new capital, is the future capital of the Wei State. It is undoubtedly the largest city in the entire Wei State. Even if the Ministry of Industry mastered cement, a cementitious material, and built this city in just five years, it also caused great confusion in the court.

All the ministers and even Wei King Zhao Run were amazed.

This miraculous construction speed is due to the cooperation of all parties: the Sichuan-Luo Alliance is responsible for the supply of funds, the Ministry of Housing is responsible for the collection, purchase and transportation of building materials, the Ministry of Industry and the Metallurgical Bureau are responsible for construction. In addition,

There were also tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of slaves who actually participated in the construction.

It was the great cooperation and cooperation of all parties that enabled Luoyang City to be built within five years.

When this news reached Daliang, Zhao Hongrun was also inexplicably excited. After all, he had been waiting for this new capital for five years. How many five years can a person have in his life?

"I'll go take a look first."

After informing the ministers in the inner dynasty, Zhao Run took Queen Mi Jiang, Ying Ying, Oona, Yang Yanxing, Su Ran, the daughters, Zhao Wei, Zhao Chu and other children to the Imperial Guard.

Under the protection of the army, I went to Sanchuan County in person to enjoy the spring.

Originally, Zhao Run wanted to take Empress Dowager Shen with him, but Empress Dowager Shen had always been in poor health, and as she was getting older, her body was inevitably weak, so she had to give up.

Under the protection of the imperial guards, more than a dozen members of Zhao Hong's family took a boat at Xiangfu Port, sailed up the river, and came directly to the waters of the Luocheng area. At this time, those who learned the news one step ahead of time

The chiefs of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance brought their children and warriors from the tribe to pick him up.

When both parties saw each other, they inevitably felt a little emotional.

I think that when Zhao Run first conquered Sanchuan County, he was only fifteen years old. Fast forward more than ten years, and this young master Wei who once seemed quite immature at first glance is now nearly thirty years old and has a grown-up son and daughter.

There was an inexplicable power of a king in every movement of the group.

But to everyone's surprise, this monarch is still approachable.

"Lu Balong? Are you really Lu Balong?"

When the clan leaders of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance came to pick him up, Zhao Hongrun looked at the broad and bloated Lu Balong with a strange look on his face.

I think back then, Lu Balong was not only the leader of the Lun clan of the Yi tribe, but also the first warrior of the tribe. He was strong and muscular. He had taken the lead in attacking the army led by Zhao Hongrun time and time again. If the Wei army at that time had not possessed the powerful Wei Liannu weapon,

This kind of war weapon may not be able to defeat the momentum of the Lun clan warriors.

But Lu Balong, who appeared in front of Zhao Hongrun now, was a fat man who was out of breath even after running for two steps - watching this former prairie warrior, trotting all the way to him with his body covered in fat, and kept using

Zhao Hongrun couldn't believe it as he wiped sweat from his Weifu sleeves.

"You have fallen...the former number one warrior of the Lun tribe."

Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a smile and patted Lu Balon's arm.

In fact, Lu Balong, the former number one warrior of the Lun tribe, had already begun to degenerate when the Wei Kingdom started trading with Sanchuan. The superior life and abundant wealth made it inevitable that this former warrior would gradually decline.

The warrior's willpower was lost.

There's nothing you can do about it, after all, not everyone can keep their original intentions in the face of endless squandering of wealth.

In fact, not only Lu Balong, but also the other chiefs of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance have gained weight. For example, Meng Liang of the Meng tribe, and even one of Zhao Hongrun’s father-in-law, Amutu, the former chief of the Qingyang tribe,

Now he has become a chubby little old man, but his son, Zhao Run's brother-in-law Wuwu, who after taking over the position of leader of the Qingyang tribe, is quite similar to his father when he was young.

On that day, Zhao Run and his party stayed in Luocheng for one night. When they entered the city, the people in Luocheng were excited, whether they were Wei people or tribesmen from the Sichuan-Luocheng Alliance.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Run enjoyed a very high prestige in Sanchuan before he became the King of Wei, not to mention that his current status is different from what it used to be.

In order to entertain Zhao Run and his party, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance slaughtered nine ibex in one go, ninety-nine ordinary sheep - on a day that was not a sacrificial day, they slaughtered nine ibex in one go just to entertain distinguished guests. This was absolutely

This is an extremely rare thing in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.

The Sanchuan people and ordinary people in Luocheng City also celebrated the arrival of King Zhao Run of Wei, and it was as lively as a festival.

Waiting until dawn the next day, Zhao Hongrun and his party rode on horses and embarked on the journey to Luoyang.

Among the girls, Oona, who was born in the Qingyang tribe, is certainly the most proficient in riding skills. Even though she has given birth to Zhao Hongrun’s son, Zhao Chuan, her vitality is still the same as before. In other words, compared with her in the deep palace, she is still

In fact, I prefer riding horses on the vast grassland.

Seeing their daughter or sister riding a horse and running wildly on the grassland, their father Amutu and his brother Wu Wu looked quite embarrassed, worried that Zhao Runwei would blame Wu Na for this.

"You are already a mother, and you are still making such a fuss," the old patriarch Amutu couldn't help scolding.

However, Zhao Run disagreed. He hugged Su Ran in his arms and followed him with a smile. Among the girls, Su Ran was the least good at riding a horse. Zhao Run was afraid that she would accidentally fall off the horse, so he talked to her.

Ride together.

On the contrary, it was Su Ran's daughter Zhao Chu who followed her brothers, as well as her step-brother Wei Yun and step-sister Wei Ning. Several little guys were riding around on their ponies, having fun and causing the guards to panic.

The soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath and stared at the princes and princesses, fearing that they would accidentally fall off the colt.

"I am General Sima An, and all soldiers will obey my orders!"

Zhao Run's second son, Zhao Han, shouted loudly while riding the colt.

As soon as he finished speaking, the third son Zhao Chuan also raised his arms and shouted: "I am the general Wu Ji, and all the soldiers will obey my orders!"

It turned out that these two princes had read "Yitan" which was popular throughout the Central Plains, and they admired the Wei general Sima An who "destroyed the enemy with a hundred sheep" and the merchant general Wu Ji who was known as the "Courage of Wei".

.

"Yes, yes." Mu Qing of the Imperial Guard shrugged, waved his hand to the Imperial Guard soldiers around him and said, "'Soldiers and generals', why not follow up with your general quickly?"

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard suppressed their laughter and rushed forward quickly.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun's daughter Zhao Chu was also influenced by her two younger brothers. Unfortunately, her mother Su Ran stopped her in time and was unable to shout something like "I am also a general of the Wei Dynasty" and followed her father on a pony.

Next to Zhao Run, he pursed his lips and looked unhappy.

Seeing Su Ran complaining about her daughter, Zhao Run said with a smile: "I have told you a long time ago that if Chu Chu follows that girl Yulong, sooner or later she will learn bad things."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Run felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

Zhao Run turned around and saw Princess Yulong wearing a riding uniform, and said angrily: "Who are you talking about? No matter how big or small, I am your royal sister."

"Oh." Zhao Run rolled his eyes and said casually.

In fact, Princess Yulong is indeed one year older than Zhao Run, but in Zhao Run's heart, she always treats her as a younger sister.

"snort!"

Snorting at Zhao Run, Princess Yulong bent down and said to Zhao Chu who was riding on the pony: "Chu Chu, don't follow your boring father, go with your aunt... Xiao Ning'er, you also go with your aunt."

Come on, don't follow them."

Wei Ning glanced at Zhao Run timidly, and when he saw his adoptive father Zhao Run helplessly shaking his head and smiling, he grinned, and together with Zhao Chu, rode a pony and followed Princess Yulong, his aunt, away.

"Hey, I have to lead another one into trouble."

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and laughed.

Before he finished speaking, he heard another voice coming from behind: "Hey, please be polite, she is the Crown Princess of Da Qin after all."

Zhao Run looked back and realized that it was Princess Yulong's 'husband' Qin Shaojun Yingying, so he smiled and joked: "Is it necessary to protect her like this?"

Qin Shaojun Yingying glanced at Su Ran in Zhao Hongrun's arms and hummed softly: "To each other."

After that, she shook the reins and went after Princess Yulong and the others.

Obviously, she was a little bit dissatisfied with how Zhao Run protected Su Ran.

On the other hand, the official queen of Wei, Mi Jiang, drove her mount expressionlessly from beginning to end, without squinting, and kept looking at her son Zhao Wei, the prince of Wei, who was looking at him with envy at this moment.

He looked at his two younger brothers Zhao Chuan and Zhao Han, and watched them leading a group of imperial guards to play the role of generals of the Wei State.

There is no way, he is the crown prince of Wei, so naturally he cannot be as casual as his two younger brothers in public.

Otherwise, the Crown Prince and Grand Master Du You, the Minister of Rites, would definitely be unhappy when they found out.

Similar to him, there is his sworn brother Wei Yun. The two sworn brothers looked at each other and were both troubled by the shackles of their own crown prince (Prince Wei).

Seeing the interaction between these little guys, both the imperial guards and the clan leaders of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance had smiles on their faces. Only Zhao Ying looked cold and said unhappily: "Annoying little brat."

But having said that, when she looked at Zhao Han, Zhao Chu, Zhao Chuan and other little guys, there was no disgust in her eyes, but instead there was an inexplicable hope.

Not far from her, Zhao Que also sighed and touched his belly.

Both sisters were a little suspicious that it was because they took some drugs for martial arts practice when they were young that they were still unable to conceive. "Author's Note: Actually, the author was too lazy to think of a name, so he had to

I’ll let you all have your wish when it’s about to end.”

With great might and noisy, the large group of people finally arrived in Luoyang.

At that time, I could vaguely see the walls of Luoyang City, which looked like Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Mu Qing and other Imperial Guard generals, and I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Okay, so big..."

Even Zhao Run had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It turned out that the size of Luoyang City, especially the height of its walls, greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Especially after the large group of people approached, the city wall was incredibly high. Compared with the larger city wall, it was unknown how much higher it was.

"This... I'm afraid it's more than twenty feet long, right?" Mu Qing murmured to himself.

Hearing this, Wei Jiao also said with a shocked look on his face: "I'm afraid it won't stop."

Later they learned that the city wall of the new capital, Luoyang, was thirty-six feet high, ten feet wide at the bottom, and more than five feet wide at the top, allowing several carriages to run smoothly on the wall.
