Chapter 413: After Feng Yan

It is said that Wang Yue is in Wang Yun's mansion and asks the Nanlin Sword Sect to select the sword master. Wang Yun was not in a hurry, and told the story of a heroine of the Han Dynasty and a princess who relieved her worries.

Princess Xie Wu and her relatives were in a foreign land, and she was able to return to her hometown at the age of seventy, and she and Princess Xijun made great contributions to the peace of the Han Dynasty. Wang Yue listened leisurely, but still asked strangely: "What does this have to do with the Nanlin Sword Sect's selection of sword masters?"

Wang Yun's white hair shook slightly, and he smiled: "Tiger Ben, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly." ”

"Princess Xie Wu has tried her best to turn the tide many times, save the relationship between Wusun and the Han, and help Wusun resist the clutches of the Huns, she can be described as a great woman who has worked hard. However, beside Princess Xie Wu, there is a greater woman, and Princess Xie Wu can be described as a double star. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Da Situ is talking about Mrs. Feng?" What's her story?"

Wang Yun nodded and said: "It is Mrs. Feng Feng, she is the most outstanding woman among the maids who went to Wusun with Princess Xie Wu, and it can be said that she has single-handedly supported the diplomacy of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty." Although Feng Yan came from a humble background, she was well-read, intelligent and insightful, especially eloquent, calm and steady, deeply loved by her worries, and often treated each other as sisters. After Feng Yan arrived in Wusun, she married the prominent right general as her wife, and because of her outstanding talent, she was honored as Mrs. Feng by the upper class of Wusun and even the nobles of the Western Regions. ”

"On the long road, she not only accompanied Princess Xie Wu through the long years in a foreign country, but also supported each other with Princess Xie Wu inside and outside the court, supported each other, stood up in the event of a crisis, mediated between the countries of the Western Regions as an envoy, turned hostility into friendship, and made great contributions."

In the case that the constant pressure was ineffective, and several interventions were unpleasant, the Xiongnu finally sent troops to threaten, demanding that Wusun hand over the princess and cut off all contacts with the Han Dynasty. However, Weng Guimi and Princess Jie are not easy to mess with, and there is no intention of compromising with a strong enemy. Princess Xie Wu once wrote to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, asking her mother to send troops to jointly conquer the Xiongnu, at that time, the general Huo Guang, who monopolized the government at that time, immediately decided, sent 150,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into five ways to fight the Xiongnu with Wusun, and sent the captain Chang Hui to Wusun to help fight. Probably decades ago, the great general of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, etc., gave the Xiongnu a blow that was too unforgettable, the Huns did not dare to confront the Han army head-on, all the way to the north rout, the Wusun army just waited for work, intercepted and killed on the way, Chang Hui and Wusun soldiers defeated the Huns. In the winter of the same year, the Xiongnu led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack * Sun, encountered rare heavy snow on the way, suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors were not even one-tenth, Ding Ling, Wuhuan, and Wusun took the opportunity to besiege the Xiongnu from three sides, making the Xiongnu lose three-tenths of the national population, greatly weakening the national strength, and the various territories collapsed, and since then they have been in a slump. At this point, Emperor Xianwu sent Zhang Qian as an envoy, and the strategic plan of uniting Wusun to "break the right arm of the Xiongnu" implemented by the two princesses of Xijun and Xie Wu was finally successfully realized through nearly half a century of unremitting management. ”

Wang Yue took a breath and said, "Emperor Xianwu is really eloquent!" In my opinion, it's not much better than the first emperor! ”

Wang Yun nodded and continued: "The defeat of the Xiongnu has made Princess Jiewu's prestige in the Wusun Kingdom unprecedentedly high. Weng Guimi even wrote to the Han Dynasty, asking for his eldest son Yuan Guimi to marry another princess of the Han family. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty immediately named Liu Xiangfu, the niece of Princess Xie Wu, as a princess, and let her live in Shanglin Yuan, Chang'an, learn the language and customs of Wusun, and prepare for becoming the new mother of Wusun in the future. However, the good times did not last long, just when the Han Dynasty sent the princess to marry the mighty procession to Dunhuang before it was out of the fortress, the bad news came from Wusun Kingdom, and the fat king Weng Guimi died of illness. In the ensuing battle for royal power, Princess Xie Wu is going to fight for her motherland again. When Weng Guimi was alive, Yuan Guimi, the eldest son of Li Jiesheng, was the crown prince, and he was about to marry the princess of the Han family. And according to the last wish of the previous king Cen Chen, the kingdom belongs to the prince born to the Xiongnu princess, Weng Guimi is only in custody, and it will be returned to Nimi in the future, Weng Guimi is dead, and this prince who has been unknown for decades is finally unwilling to be lonely. ”

"Maybe it's because Nimi is more justifiable, maybe it's because Yuan Guimi is still young and not strong enough, in short, in this contest, the grandson of the Han Dynasty was defeated by the grandson of the Xiongnu, and the Wusun nobles finally elected Nimi as the new king, known as the mad king. Seeing that Yuan Guimi failed to become the king, the court of the Western Han Dynasty immediately recalled the princess Liu Xiangfu, who had been watching in Dunhuang, and unilaterally canceled the marriage contract. Politics seems to be so cruel, after a change, Han's influence in Wusun, the years of goodwill between Han and Wusun, and the results of years of hard work in Wusun, seem to have been in vain overnight. ”

In order to comply with the customs of Wusun, and in order to maintain the power of the Han in Wusun, Princess Xie Wu resolutely made a decision to remarry the mad king Nimi. Nimi deserves to be called the mad king, probably because he was suppressed since he was a child, he tasted loneliness and indifference, his personality was very brutal and ferocious, and he ruled Wusun perversely, causing the whole country to complain. There is no need to ask, the mad king and the princess are not compatible, although the princess gave birth to another son for the mad king, the situation has not improved in the slightest, and there is often tension. Life and death, what to do? The princess who has always been smart and strong will never sit still, especially after decades of tempering and pro-years, her wisdom and courage are higher than that of the mad king, and she will not sit back and watch her life's hard work come to naught. ”

After careful analysis, Xie Wei believed that the mad king's perverse behavior, the rebellion of the relatives had reached a considerable extent, and the time was ripe to take action to get rid of him. He also took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the son Wu Weitu born to the Xiongnu princess and Weng Guimi with the mad king, and united the Han Dynasty envoys who sent Wusun to set up a "Hongmen banquet" for the mad king. During the banquet, he sent someone to draw his sword and assassinate the mad king, but unfortunately the sword stabbed off, and the mad king was wounded and fled on horseback. So far, the two sides have finally met each other, and the situation has changed abruptly. Wu slaughtered the emperor in a hurry, and the mad king quickly led troops to surround the princess and the envoys of the Han Dynasty in Chigu City, the capital of Wusun, and the capital of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty sent troops to relieve the siege, escorted the envoys who participated in the assassination back to Chang'an and beheaded them, and then sent the envoy Zhang Weng to try the case and appease the mad king in order to reconcile. This was originally a formality, intended to calm the situation for the time being, and take the opportunity to weaken the mad king. But the stupid Zhang Weng failed to understand the tacit understanding between the court and Xie Wu, and after coming to Wusun, he actually started the trial in a big way, and even grabbed Princess Xie Wu's hair and scolded her. Naturally, he was not convinced, and secretly wrote to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty again. Sure enough, not long after, the imperial court ordered Zhang Weng to be taken back and beheaded, and the deputy envoy who went with Zhang Weng also missed the great opportunity to kill the mad king in vain, and was sentenced to palace punishment after returning to Chang'an. ”

Taking advantage of this inextricable time, the Xiongnu princess gave birth to Wu Tu fled to Beishan, threatening that the mother Xiongnu would send troops to quell the chaos, so all the pro-Xiongnu forces in Wusun were attached, wanting to seize the whole country, and the Han Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate army was tense confrontation with the border of the war, and the alliance between Han and Wusun for many years of "brotherly state" was about to be destroyed. At this critical juncture, for the sake of national righteousness, the female diplomat Feng Yan stepped forward and risked her life to personally persuade Wu to be slaughtered. Feng Yan used her outstanding insight, outstanding eloquence, and years of understanding of the situation of the Western Regions to reason with the slaughter of Ukraine, analyze the interests and disadvantages, and use the powerful military power of the Han Dynasty as the backing to exert pressure on the slaughter of Ukraine, and finally succeeded in persuading. In the end, Wu Qitu said that as long as the Han Dynasty gave him a name, he was willing to settle for the "trumpet".

After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty learned of this, he recruited Feng Yan to enter the court and stated in detail the whole story. Feng Yan talked eloquently in front of the emperor, from the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions, customs and human feelings, to the origins of the various factions in Wusun, and the stakes. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was greatly appreciative, so he appointed Feng Yan as an official envoy of the Han Dynasty for the first time, riding a brocade car, holding the Han Dynasty Festival Battle, and representing the emperor to envoy Wusun and the Western Regions. It was unique at the time for a woman to visit with a festival. And ten years later, there was another turmoil in Wusun, and Feng Yan, who had returned to Chang'an for the elderly, in order to consolidate ethnic relations, despite his advanced age, resolutely wrote to the emperor, and once again sent an envoy to the countries of the Western Regions with a festival of thousands of miles, and became a model for the ages. ”

Feng Yan's envoy did not fail in his mission, exposed the Xiongnu's tricks to sow discord, and mediated in many ways, and finally made the whole country of Wusun willing to accept the arrangement of the Han Dynasty. Later, the Wusun Kingdom was divided into two, and the eldest son of the princess Yuan Guimi was the Wusun Da Kunmi, with 60,000 households, and Liwu was slaughtered as the little Kunmi, with 40,000 households. At this point, the turmoil finally subsided, Wusun was at peace, and the border between Han and Wusun once again ushered in peace and tranquility. Two years later, Princess Jiewu's eldest son Yuan Guimi and youngest son Yuan Mi died of illness one after another. The princess's grandson Xingmi was enthroned as the Great Kunmi, quite weak, and most of the forces in Wusun's country were attached to Wuzun, and Xie Wei felt that his significance in Wusun was no longer great, and then he returned to his hometown. ”

Wang Yun sighed leisurely and said: "Hongyan left home, Haoshou returned, Chang'an is still prosperous, and my daughter is no longer young." Whether it is a fine gentleman, or a worry-relieving worry, or Feng Yan, although he has never fought on the battlefield and killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions; They have never written books and biography, and they have ruled the country in the Ming Dynasty, but their dedication and efforts, their tenderness and tears, are still indelible by future generations. Wang Yue thought about the glory of the Han Dynasty in the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that today's court can't be compared with the period of Emperor Xianwu!" ”

Wang Yun glared at Wang Yue, and Wang Yue realized that he had complained that he shouldn't have made a complaint, and smiled awkwardly. Wang Yun said: "That's why we need a loyal soul like us to set things right!" Unite all the forces that can be united, control all the gangs that can be controlled, and now the position of the sword master of the Nanlin Sword Sect, we must take it. ”

The descendants of Princess Xie Wu also followed the Hui Dynasty and became a member of the royal family. After Mrs. Feng, because the merit was too high, her descendants were also named princesses. Emperor Xianling has a princess, that is, after the Feng family, twenty-nine years old, from elementary school to the royal arts, not only knowledgeable and courteous, natural and beautiful, but also talented, taught by famous teachers, strong swordsmanship. With her out of the horse, it goes without saying that she is loyal, and the position of this sword master is stable. ”

Wang Yue was stunned and said, "Princess Wannian?"
