Chapter 4: Xuansu Wu's Audience

Su Wu went to the capital of Hala and Lin, and Hu Yanyu personally went out of the palace to greet him, and when he saw Su Wu's ragged clothes, he immediately sent someone to serve him to bathe and change his clothes, and set up a banquet to entertain him. After Su Wu changed his clothes, although his hair was all white, his spirit was shining, and he was still majestic when he held a bald scepter.

The banquet was accompanied only by Wei Lu. Hu Yanyu raised the wine bowl and said sincerely, "Envoy Su, this bowl of wine, to your fearless grandfather!"

Su Wu raised the wine bowl in front of him, nodded politely, and the two of them drank it all.

Hu Yanyu Shan Yu continued: "You are someone my grandfather admires. When I was a child, my grandfather told me that he admired your courage and your backbone. You are about to return to the Han Dynasty, and I hope you can speak for the peace of the two countries in front of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and contribute to it!"

"Definitely!" Su Wu said sonorously, "At the beginning, I took a hundred soldiers and safely sent back all the envoys of this dynasty, and I sincerely came for the peaceful friendship between the two countries. But"

Wei Lu smiled and raised a wine bowl to interrupt him: "Now that you have worked hard, completed your mission, and are going back to Dahan! Congratulations, great hero!"

Su Wu glared at him and didn't move the wine bowl.

Shan Yu hurriedly said: "Envoy Su, come, do it!"

Su Wu nodded helplessly and picked up the wine bowl, didn't look at Wei Lu, and took a sip.

Hu Yanyu knew that there was something between Wei Lu and Su Wu, and Su Wu despised Wei Lu and despised him for being spineless. However, Wei Lu was loyal to the Hu dynasty for generations. In order to save himself from embarrassment and unhappiness, the banquet broke up early.

Brother Su Ren and his companions were about to return to Han, and Li Ling set up a banquet to entertain them. There were more than 100 strong people when they came, but after 19 years of inhuman treatment, there are now less than ten people left such as Chang Hui and Zhao Gen'er, and only nine people.

Li Ling looked at them, recalled his troubles, felt very uncomfortable, and knelt down on his knees in front of everyone: "Sinner, Li Ling, here to salute your brothers!"

Su Wu hurriedly pulled him: "Brother Mo Ke!"

"I want to say, let me say! Otherwise, I will suffocate to death!" He burst into tears and repented: "I miss my Li family, a loyal martyr, and I will be buried in the hands of my Li Ling! Now that the brothers have returned home, they are all reunited, and I, I can only die of old age!"

He kowtowed three times: "Brothers, Hui Han, help me, an unfaithful and unfilial person, serve the Han Dynasty!"

Li Ling got up and went into the back hall, Su Wu followed in, and the two hugged their heads and cried.

"Master Su, you—you despise me!

"You and I are brothers, it's not open! You, still, my brother! It's just that everyone has their own things!" Su Wu comforted Li Ling.

"Brother Ren, I really can't go back!"

"For, brother, know your heart!" Su Wu said with tears, "For brother, after leaving, Meiga's mother and son will be entrusted to you!"

"I know for my brother!" Li Ling said.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the thieves, hurt them, hurt them!" he told him about the order and the burning of the house.

"This, brother, understand! Please, brother Ren rest assured! Sister-in-law and child, a safe place now!" Li Ling wiped his tears and said, "I'm just here, there is something in the imperial court, and I have been symbolically informed, and most of the time I am in Jiankun." I will arrange for my sister-in-law and children!"

"Erlan knows how to connect!"

"Understood!" Li Ling said, "I will often send letters back to Brother Ren!"

The Han envoys were afraid that Shan Yu would change the hexagram, so they said goodbye the next day, and took Su Wu and them back on the road. Su Wu and Chang Hui and the other nine people led them along the road that King Yu Jing had taken as a guide nineteen years ago, and this road was relatively safe. In Su Wu's heart, over the years, he often silently remembered it and thought that one day he would return to Dahan.

Now that Hu and Han have been reconciled in recent years, there are few obstacles on the road, they travel day and night, even if there are small obstacles in their eyes, they can cope with them. Su Wu thought that Meiga's mother and son were hopeless, but the love experience of the envoy to Hu Di nineteen years ago = Jing was vivid.

In the early summer of the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty (100 BC), the rising sun began to rise. The city of Chang'an is bathed in sunlight and is majestic and magnificent. There are many shops on the street, the market is prosperous, and the merchants gather. Merchants in the national costumes of the Western Regions, which can be seen everywhere, leisurely choose various goods and delicacies according to their own preferences. There was harmony everywhere.

On the high hall of Weiyang Palace, the fifty-six-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the civil and military officials in the court, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his face was full of joy.

Many years ago, the Xiongnu Hu people who were driven to Mobei and the area of Wolf Juxu Mountain (now Hangai Mountain in Mongolia) recuperated their spirits, and a few years ago they began to collude with the Dawan Kingdom to rebel against our Han Dynasty, in a vain attempt to cut off the passage to the Western Regions of our Dynasty.

He immediately sent his uncle Li Guangli to subdue the rebellious Dawan State with heavy troops. The Xiongnu, who connected the Great Wan Kingdom, often invaded the Western Regions and robbed people and money along the way, making those small countries panic. Emperor Wu was about to send troops to teach the barbaric Xiongnu a lesson, and the newly enthroned Xiongnu sent envoys to sue for peace.

He not only sent two bloody horses from the Western Regions that Wu Dite loved, but also sent back more than ten batches of envoys who had been detained by our envoys to the Xiongnu for many years. What is even more convincing is that the envoy also brought a letter from Shan Yu himself, which reads: "Emperor Han, it is my father-in-law!" and other words.

Emperor Wu recalled with joy that in the past 40 years since he succeeded to the throne, he first reformed various domestic systems and had a prosperous domestic economy, and then he had the strategy to fight against the Xiongnu and unify the Han Dynasty.

In the following 20 years, he not only sent troops to drive the Huns who repeatedly invaded our northern territory out of Henan (south of the Yellow River), opened up the road to the Western Regions, and made sure that there were no Xiongnu royal courts in the northern desert, but also pacified the small tribes in the east, south and west.

Now, although he knew that this was a delaying tactic by the Huns, this warlike tribe could not change its nature. However, after all, the mobilization of troops to fight a war is a major event that hurts the country and the people. The two sides fought many times, compromised with each other many times, sent envoys to each other, and withheld envoys from each other...... Now that they are afraid, they will seek peace first, and we must also treat each other with reason.

The emperor thought about it and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all learned that the Xiongnu have come to sue for peace and have sent back all our envoys. Everyone, Aiqing, everyone said, what should we do?"

The entire court was silent. They all knew that according to the custom of the imperial court, the Han also had to send back their envoys. However, the Huns were cunning and impermanent, and they always rebelled. This time, maybe he will be detained again, and life is better than death. No one dared to be the first to speak, but they were afraid that a word would come out and let themselves be the Huns.

Emperor Wu looked at the officials below, bowed his head and asked silently: "Tai Shi Ling, Sima Qian, you say, what should I do?"

Thirty-six-year-old Sima Qian hurriedly stepped forward to salute and replied, "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, I should exchange courtesies!"

"Aiqing is flat!"

"Long live Xie!" Sima Qian retreated to his place and stood.

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

In fact, Emperor Wu had already thought of a good idea and a good candidate. It's just to say hello to everyone in the court. He said to the following: "Xuan, the attendant officer Su Wu!"

The eunuch shouted downward: "Xuan Su Wu is here!"
