The arrival of the Great Xia mission became the last major event in Xianyang at the end of the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, which caused a sensation.

As expected by Wu Shilu, Qin Shi Huang sent Dr. Ling to demonstrate "whether Hu Shenya Dianna is the Queen Mother of the West", which turned into an academic farce.

After the two incidents of collecting books and pitting warlocks, the group of doctors has been rotated several times, and a large number of Confucian scholars, Huang Lao, and Taoist doctors have left one after another, leaving only Zhou Qingchen, Shusun Tong and other imperial literati and Confucian scholars, who preach the greatness of Qin Shi Huang all day long.

In addition, there are a group of Jiaodong scholars who are favored by Qin Shi Huang, although they are not the magician Fang Xiandao, but they have studied the "Great Kyushu" and "Yin and Yang Five Elements" to join, and they call themselves Yin and Yang.

These two groups of people were both erudite and memorized, and they were full of poetry and books, and they began to quote scriptures and classics to find the similarities between the Western Queen Mother and the "Yadianna" described by the Bactrian people.

For example, in the literature, it is said that the unkempt hair of the Queen Mother of the West was originally thought to be a hairstyle, but now there is a new interpretation: the fluffy curls of the Tessiehu people.

Another example is the "hoopoe", which should be a phoenix-shaped feather crown, and coincidentally, the statue of the god Hu is wearing a Corinthian helmet decorated with horsehair......

As for the biography of Mu Tianzi, it is said that it is the self-description of the Queen Mother of the West: "Jia life does not move, I am only the emperor's daughter", it is better to explain, I heard the people of Daxia say that this "Yadianna" is the daughter of the supreme emperor god they believe in "cursed to death".

And the messenger owl of the god Hu is said to be the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, the three blue birds.

"What about tiger teeth and leopard tails? How can this be explained? ”

The Confucian scholar Fusheng asked this question out of place.

For a while, the lively hall was silent, and all the beings looked at each other, this setting was not liked by His Majesty, and it had long been ignored, so they all laughed, intending to pretend not to hear it, and skip it.

But at the moment, Shusun Tong, the leader of Xianyang Confucianism, is a capable person, he coughed lightly and said: "The so-called tiger tooth and leopard tail, this means that the Queen Mother of the West has the power of tiger and leopard!" ”

Everyone agreed, look at the Hu Shen holding a spear and carrying a shield on his back, isn't that the power of the tiger and leopard!

So something surprising happened, and with the arguments of the doctors, you will be surprised to find that the image of the Queen Mother of the West in the imagination of the Central Plains people on the mural began to slowly change, and it was rapidly changing to Athena......

After three days and three nights of discussion among 70 doctors, through a large number of documents and ancient books, it was proved that the Queen Mother of the West was Athena, and it became a "fact" and was entrusted to Qin Shi Huang......

Qin Shi Huang was also very simple, and immediately pushed the boat down the river to make the system: he made Wushi Yan a pedestrian, and returned to the Great Xia Kingdom with a letter of state, and ordered Dingyuan Hou Xin to go out of Yumen and establish an outpost in the Western Regions, so as to prepare for the future expedition and open up the road to the "Kunlun Ruins" in the West Sea!

The smoke in the south has not subsided, the western expedition has risen again, and the court has congratulated Qin Shi Huang on finding the Western Queen Mother State, but in private, they all have sad faces, and the war is endless and the disasters are endless......

In this case, the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang began to come to an end!

……

On the last day of the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, Shi Zhang Cang, the pillar of the Imperial History Mansion, did not go home to rest, he wore a thick dress, and visited the pavilion where the Great Xia people lived.

As the most knowledgeable person in the world, Zhang Cang was also invited to participate in the doctoral seminars, but he flatly refused.

As a person who told the truth when he sealed Mount Tai and was almost cut off by Qin Shi Huang, Zhang Cang certainly understood that this was a meaningless argument, and everyone was just pretending to be confused, don't look at the etiquette allusions, what can be said is nonsense.

Besides, the interest in the armor-clad female Hu God, who beheaded Zhang Cang, was only in the fact that she was a "virgin", and compared with the statue, he was more interested in this group of Great Xia people, or rather, the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Bactria is the only country with coins and writing except for the Central Plains......"

This is the conclusion that Zhang Cang reached, looking at the whole world, from Haidong Sanhan to Southwest Yi, from the Xiongnu in the north to the Baiyue in southern Xinjiang, those regimes have different costumes and customs, but they are all regarded as barbarians by the Qin people, because they have language but no writing, they can only tie ropes and draw pictures and records, bartering but no currency. Those who are slightly more advanced, such as the Minzi Joseon, directly use the script and currency of the Central Plains.

Zhang Cang believes that these two, like Zhangfu, are the difference between the state of civilization and etiquette and the barbarian Rongdi.

However, the Great Xia Kingdom accounted for at least two of the three.

Zhang Cang has seen the national book of the Great Xia people, the text on it is like a tadpole, and the Qin seal is a completely different system, after careful study, it is found that the word source of twenty-four words, turn to each other, use it to prepare things, the book is read horizontally, from left to right, in fact, it is the Greek letter written horizontally......

In addition, Daxia uses silver as money, the front of the coin is the head of the king of Daxia, and the back is the standing statue of the emperor god of the Hu people holding a thunder spear "cursed to death", but the naked and muscular puppet is actually the emperor god? This greatly reduced Zhang Cang's degree of civilization in Great Xia.

"The emperor is still like this, no wonder his generation does not have the beauty of chapter clothes, and he wears a long cloth as clothes." He complained secretly.

Although it is not as good as Great Qin, Great Xia is still the first civilized country where the Qin people have encountered extraterritorially, and with curiosity, Zhang Cang visited the post house where the envoys lived.

For all reasons, after seeing Qin Shi Huang once, the Bactrian people were forbidden to go out and stuffy in the house. Hearing that the first learned person of the Qin Dynasty was visiting, they showed great enthusiasm and also sent a scholar with a fluffy beard to contact Zhang Cang.

Zhang Fatzi didn't know anything about Da Xia's language, and the conversation between the two had to go through the interpreter, so you said a word to me, and started a slow and difficult conversation.

The two have something in common, that is, they are fat, Zhang Cang is about two hundred pounds, and the Daxia scholar who calls himself "Suheketel" is similar, but he is slightly taller than Zhang Cang, and Zhang Cang thinks his name is awkward, and he is referred to as "Su's".

In this first in-depth dialogue between Eastern and Western civilizations in history, the Chinese and Greek worlds are represented by a fat man.

In the beginning, the conversation focused on simple things, such as food. Zhang Cang found that Su didn't like millet rice, but he had a soft spot for baked bread that became popular ten years ago.

He said that the staple food of the Bactrian people is also the bread baked after wheat flour is milled, and it is usually accompanied by olives, wine, salt, and occasionally fish and meat. Until he encountered sugar from the Qin Dynasty, which triggered a revolution in taste buds. The magnates of Great Xia were very fascinated by this reddish-brown sweet item, and this time, they also had the mission of buying a large amount of brown sugar to return to China.

Zhang Cang told Su that he knew the first person to make brown sugar was a general.

Su Shi listened very carefully to the interpreter's translation of Zhang Cang's every sentence, and after hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he recorded it on the precious sedge.

Su claimed that when he was young, he went to the mother state of Great Xia, studied with some scholars, and after returning to China, he became an advisor to the king of Great Xia.

However, regarding the geography and history of the countries west of Great Xia, the Su clan had some concerns, and they were secretive and not very clear.

Zhang Cang only inquired that the mother state of the Bactria people was located west of the West Sea, and they also had an emperor as great as Qin Shi Huang: Yadi. He conquered half the world, and many cities in Bactria were named after him. It is a pity that Yadi died young, and his generals divided their own sides, so there were Tiaozhi, Bactria and other countries, of which Bactria was located in the easternmost part.

"There is no son of heaven above, there is no uncle below, the strength is strong, and the winner is the right?"

Zhang Cang can only understand it like this.

Seeing that it was dark and the topic was at an impasse, Su was reluctant to reveal more, but Zhang Cang was not satisfied with this kind of superficial communication, he suddenly remembered something, invited Su Shi to come to the courtyard, and began to point to the stars in the sky.

Geography can't be said, astronomy is always in line, right?

This chat, then people were surprised, Su's understanding of the stars, far beyond Zhang Cang's imagination, he excitedly pointed to the sky full of stars, read out a strange pronunciation, the translator told Zhang Cang, the people of Daxia use the names of animals or gods, to name the stars.

So, every time Su pointed to a constellation, Zhang Cang reported its name in China, and the two would also talk about the meaning of this star in their respective civilizations through the interpreter.

"Ares."

Su Shi pointed to the slightly bright red stars in the southern sky and told Zhang Cang that in Greece, it was the guardian star of Ares, the god of war, which represented war and disaster, and was also Athena's sworn enemy.

After listening to the translator's words, Zhang Cang was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, it is the same as the Central Plains, it also means that the soldiers are murderous weapons, the location of the division, thorns are born, after the army, there will be a fierce year, and the country will also suffer from chaos." ”

Thinking of the successive wars, thinking of the empire in crisis under the grand scene, Zhang Cang couldn't help but be worried, pointed to Mars and told Su Shi:

"We call it, 'Glowing Star'!"

At the same time, at the Yumen Pass in the West, Li Xin was also looking at this star hanging over the desert, he had already expected something, he was fighting hard, and believed that soon the emperor's will would come, let him point to the West!

And Minyue, thousands of miles south of Yumen, the sky is bright and bright, and a black disaster star has descended here!
