When they stepped onto the smooth concrete road, Herodrut and her accompanying guards were all shocked.
She even got out of the carriage and stamped on the cement road, then raised her head and looked into the distance until she reached the end of the road.
Even if you stretch your neck the longest, you can't see the end of the road.
Zhao Ziliang reined in his horse and stopped and said: "Princess, you don't need to look anymore, this road goes all the way to Jerusalem, passing through dozens of big cities in the middle."
"How could there be such a smooth road?"
Herodrut murmured to himself, and then said: "How is this possible?
If you use an ax to cut it, you can't make it so smooth."
"Of course it's not chiseled with an axe.
Even if you tell me, you won't understand.
In short, you only need to know that this road was built by our country, Western Qin, which invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.
This road goes to Jerusalem all the way, so you can lie down Even if you sleep on the carriage, you won’t feel the carriage moving forward.”
The carriage drove smoothly on the cement road.
Herodrut lay on the cushions of the carriage and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how many times he woke up and how long he slept.
He knew that Zhao Ziliang asked the maid to call her out for food and accommodation.
Herodrut has lived in the black forests, mountains, and hills of northwestern Europe from birth to now.
He has never seen a desert or a desert city.
Before that, he lived in Carthage.
Cities such as Kyrgyzstan and Alexandria are located in the grain-producing areas along the Mediterranean Sea, and they have not even touched the shadow of the desert.
Even when they arrived in Cairo, they only reached the edge of the desert.
But this time on the way to Jerusalem, it can be said that we have truly traveled through a desert.
The truly vast desert.
The first few days of traveling in the desert were quite refreshing, but the following days were not so easy.
She suffered from severe acclimatization.
Fortunately, the medical conditions of the team following Zhao Ziliang were pretty good, and there were With military doctors and sufficient medicine, she only lay on the carriage for four days before she was able to walk.
On November 16, Zhao Ziliang and his party finally arrived in Jerusalem.
Outside the city, the welcoming crowd had already lined up more than ten miles away.
A large six-wheeled carriage decorated with gold domes and jade carvings and harnessed with sixteen horses was waiting in the middle of the road.
In front of it stood Dugu Wensu, Dugujun, and Liu.
Shan, Li Muchen, Chu Ge and a large number of retired civil servants and military generals, and soldiers standing guard on both sides of the road kept the watching crowd away.
The carriage coming from the southwest finally approached, and everyone immediately picked up their robes and rushed forward.
After the carriage stopped, Zhao Ziliang got out of the carriage, and then Herodrut also stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maids.
"I sincerely welcome His Majesty to return home."
The road and the large crowds on both sides knelt down and looked towards the distance of the road.
They were all black heads, extending to the city of Jerusalem on the distant horizon.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Einhard, the palace secretary accompanying Herod Rudd, could understand Chinese.
When he saw this scene, his expression immediately changed, and he looked at Zhao Ziliang in shock.
At this time, although Herod Rudd could not hear Chinese, he could not speak Chinese.
Something feels wrong.
Zhao Ziliang pointed at Herodrut and introduced to the ministers: "This is Herodrut, the eldest princess of King Charles of the Frankish Kingdom."
All the ministers paid their respects one after another, leaving Herodrut at a loss.
At this time, three young people of about the same grade, wearing golden crowns and golden robes, stepped forward to salute Zhao Ziliang, and said loudly: "My grandsons Zhao Ang, Zhao Lin, and Zhao Shuo pay homage to grandpa.
May grandpa live long and safe." " Zhao Ziliang looked at the three young men intently and sighed: "I haven't seen you three brothers for a long time.
I didn't expect that you are all grown up now.

Your appearance has not changed much, but my son has grown taller and stronger.
Are you okay?
Why did I drive you to my place?"
The three brothers were quite embarrassed.
Zhao Ang said: "Grandpa, the purpose of father asking us to come is to let us study hard with grandpa.
I hope grandpa can teach us to become useful."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Humph, I raised him, and now I have to raise his son.
Will I have to raise a great-grandson in the future?"
The three brothers hurriedly said: "Grandpa, calm down."
"Okay, if you have any questions, let's go back to Jerusalem first."
"Yes, Your Majesty" all the ministers agreed.
Herodrut grabbed Zhao Ziliang who was about to walk towards the royal chariot and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, who are you?
It is impossible for a prince to have such a grand pomp.
Even if you are the eldest son of the king, look.
This carriage is wrapped with gold and silver, as well as your Eastern jade, inlaid with various precious stones.
Even if you are a king, your treatment is nothing more than this.
Could it be that you are the king of Western Qin and you don’t know it?
Why are you so young?"
"You will know who I am," Zhao Ziliang said with a smile, turned around and walked towards the chariot.
Herod Rudd grabbed Einhard and asked: "Einhard, you understand Chinese, you should know who he is, right?"
Einhard rubbed his face, recovered from the shock and said: "Your Highness, if I heard correctly, these three young men should be the sons of the current King of Western Qin.
The one who spoke to him just now is Prince Zhao Yunge. , and Prince Zhao Yunge calls him grandpa, who do you think he is?"
"No, it can't be.
He is Zhao Ziliang, the Supreme Prince of the Western Qin Dynasty.
How could it be possible that he is not seventy years old?"
Herodrut almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Einhard said: "Your Highness, if there are only a few people, it is possible for us to act, but with so many people here, it is absolutely impossible for them to cheat because there is no need."
The next day, Zhao Ziliang met Herodrut again in the palace in Jerusalem.
This palace was built two years ago and is entirely made of marble.
The interior and exterior walls of the palace have been manually polished, the floor is covered with Persian carpets, and the pillars are carved with golden dragons.
The decoration inside and outside the palace is simple, simple, grand, and Solemn, solemn but not luxurious.
There were several people in the main hall.
Zhao Ziliang was standing on Dan Majesty playing with a bamboo flute, which belonged to the second prince Zhao Shuo.
Standing under Dan Majesty were the three brothers Zhao Ang, and there were some eunuchs and maids around.
Zhao Ziliang felt someone walking in from outside the palace.
When he looked up, he saw that it was a eunuch.
"Your Majesty, Princess Herodrut of the Frankish Kingdom is here."
"Xuan" Herodrut's figure appeared at the door of the hall, and she walked in with her skirt in hand and made a Western-style court ceremony to Zhao Ziliang: "Princess Herodrut of the Frankish Kingdom pays homage to His Majesty the Holy King."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Princess, hiding my identity from you all the way is actually an expedient measure.
It is a last resort.
I hope you won't take offense.
Come on, no courtesy."
Herodrut stood up and said, "It's so hard for Your Majesty to hide this from me.
I always thought you were Prince Yunge.
Who among the three of you is Prince Yunge?"

Zhao Ang stood up with a confused look on his face, but he quickly figured out the whole story and said to Herodrut: "Zhao Ang has seen that the princess's grandfather may have used my identity to walk around.
This I definitely didn’t mean to deceive Your Highness, Zhao Ang apologizes to Her Highness the Princess on behalf of Grandpa Zhao.”
Zhao Ang's performance made Zhao Ziliang look at him differently.
This eldest grandson still has a good way of dealing with people.
Herodrut smiled and said: "Now that the real Prince Yunge has spoken, how can I argue with an old man?"
Zhao Ziliang's forehead was suddenly covered with black lines.
He coughed twice and said: "Okay, Princess Herodrut is a guest, and you are all young people.
I will leave the princess to you for entertainment these days.
She may She wants to visit various scenic spots and ruins in Jerusalem.
You will be her guide and have fun with her, do you understand?"
The three brothers immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, our brothers will do our best to entertain and take good care of the princess."
After the three brothers left with Herodrut, Zhao Ziliang called for Dugu Wensu, Dugu Jun, Liu Dan, Li Muchen, Chu Ge and others and asked: "The three brothers Zhao Ang, Zhao Shuo and Zhao Lin have been here for a while.
Okay, what do you think of these three brothers?"
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to name him: "Dugu Wensu, what do you say?"
Dugu Wensu said nonsense: "Your Majesty, the three princes are all dragons among men, and their future prospects are limitless."
A black line appeared on Zhao Ziliang's forehead, and he said with a straight face: "What's the difference between you saying this and not saying it?"
Dugu Wensu stepped aside angrily, but he was very happy in his heart.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the others were worried, fearing that Zhao Ziliang would name him.
All of these people are talented people.
Zhao Lei must have had other ideas when he sent these sons here, but he did not dare to make the decision without authorization because he did not have support and could not follow the rules set by Zhao Ziliang.
Destruction, it is better to leave this matter to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "My eldest son probably has his own ideas about the heir to the throne and wants to change the rules I set.
He thinks he doesn't know about his little thoughts. , by sending his three sons to fulfill his filial piety The excuse is actually to leave this matter to Gu.
He wants Gu to see that Gu's decision was wrong.
Today, there are only a few of us monarchs and ministers in this hall.
No matter what anyone said, Gu will not blame anyone.
No one is allowed to spread the news about Dugujun to other people, it’s up to you.”
Dugujun knew that he could no longer be a coward, so he could only stand up and express his thoughts: "Your Majesty, I also had contact with the three princes when they were in Xinjing, and I have seen them here.
The eldest prince Zhao Ang is a bit martial and violent.
If he says he doesn't understand It's a big mistake to be worldly and win over people's hearts.
He is the kind of person who attaches great importance to emotions.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control his emotions once he gets angry.
On the surface, the second prince pretends to be a scholar and likes poetry and songs.
Endowment, but in fact in my heart Hidden ambition; the third prince has a deep mind, good ability, and is good at forbearing and hiding his clumsiness.
If His Majesty had not set the stipulation that the eldest son of the king should be the first heir and confirmed it by law, the situation of the Western Qin Kingdom would be different ten years later.
The surrounding situation, Western Qin needs Recuperate and recuperate.
It seems a little inappropriate for a person with the eldest prince's temperament to inherit the throne.
I think it's not that the king doesn't like Prince Yunge, but that his character is not suitable for inheriting the throne.
This is also from the entire Western Qin Dynasty.
