In the autumn of the first year of Yanhe, in September Renshen (29).

Autumn is coming to an end, and the harsh winter is coming.

However, Chang'an City has never been more lively.

Every household has started to make big purchases.

The best-selling products are, of course, peach charms, cloth silks, and various kinds of meats.

The entire Chang'an businessmen fell into boundless happiness all of a sudden.

The spending power of Chang'an residents was unleashed almost overnight.

Even the poorest citizens are willing to take out the family's savings for a year to purchase at this time.

As for the middle-class families and aristocrats, the willingness to spend at this time is also extremely strong!

Even if it is a miserly miser, he will not be careless at this time.

Because, the New Year is coming!

It's time to worship your ancestors!

For their ancestors, the Zhuxia people respect and value them more than any other people.

Especially the Han Chinese!

The Han people believe that people who die and have spirits will be under the Nine Springs to protect the descendants of the Yang Dynasty.

It is one of the basic obligations of descendants to sacrifice to their ancestors so that they can taste incense, fire, blood and food.

In Zhang's mansion, there is also a happy and peaceful atmosphere for the New Year.

Early in the morning, my sister-in-law took Jin Shaofu out to make a big purchase.

And Zhang Yue took the servants and subordinates of the family to respectfully repair the sect worship in the backyard, so as to prepare for the first day of the new year after tomorrow, welcome the gods of the ancestors and ancestors to enter this place and protect the descendants.

This is, of course, a very sacred thing.

It's a pity that Zhao Rouniang suddenly took Princess Nanxin and killed her back.

Then he went up and down the whole mansion and made a fortune.

Just like them in Changle Palace, they scared the people up and down the mansion all of a sudden.

Because, these two little ancestors are so naughty!

They were in the house, and they lit firecrackers!

Well, the literal kind.

It is to throw the bamboo into the fire and burn it, and then listen to the sound.

This kind of entertainment is the favorite of Hanji folk children.

Princess Nanshin was the first time she came into contact with such a fun game, and she went crazy all at once.

I don't know where I sent people to get hundreds of bamboo poles, and then burned them one by one.

Listening to the crackling sound of bamboo, the two little girls jumped happily.

It's just that I took pity on the people in the house, and I did a whole day of cleaning, and I did it completely in vain.

When Zhang Yue found out, the entire front yard was full of bamboo ashes.

When Zhang Yue saw it, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he hurriedly called the two little ancestors to his side, and then made two spinning tops for them.

got a new toy, two little girls, immediately threw the firecracker business aside, and started the spinning top competition as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, my sister-in-law and Jin Shaofu came back from a big purchase.

They bought back four wagons of supplies.

There are hundreds of catties of meat alone!

In addition, there are various colors of cloth, shoes, knitted fabrics, and so on.

Of course, there are also all kinds of sacrifices for ancestors.

Then, the sister-in-law and Jin Shaofu began to distribute these materials.

Each of them received a few catties of meat, two pieces of cloth, and a bag of five baht coins.

And Tian He and Li Miao brothers each received a reward of ten gold.

The masters of winemaking were given red envelopes of no less than hardware and wine, meat, rice and noodles of equal value.

All of a sudden, the entire house was grateful.

Zhang Yue watched his sister-in-law and Jin Shaofu get along well, and he was also relieved.

Originally, he was worried that his sister-in-law might not get along with Jin Shaofu.

But now it seems that Jin Shaofu is born to deal with people.

My sister-in-law has only been in Chang'an for two days, and she has been completely bought.

It has even been treated as a sister.

In the evening, Zhang Yue had just eaten dinner and was about to make some preparations for the future court.

Tian He came to report: "Lord, Zhang Lingjun is here, saying that he has something important to discuss with the lord!" ”

"Zhang Anshi?" Zhang Yue was puzzled.

After being in Chang'an for so long, it was the first time that Zhang Anshi came to Zhang Yue's mansion in person.

After all, his position is too sensitive.

Shang Shuling is one of the two giants of Lantai.

Under the current Han system, Shang Shutai was responsible for most of the functions of the former Prime Minister's Office.

It has power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

Therefore, Zhang Anshi has been very low-key for a long time, and rarely takes the initiative to go to other people's mansions.

Not to mention at times like these.

Therefore, Zhang Yue immediately knew that something unexpected must have happened, and hurriedly said: "I will personally go out to greet you!" ”

He immediately came to the gate, ordered the people to open the middle door, and then personally greeted him, and saw Zhang Anshi and said: "The elder brother is here, and the younger brother's mansion is shining!" ”

Zhang Anshi had a serious face, and said to Zhang Yue: "Virtuous brother doesn't need to be polite!" ”

"I have come here to serve the Holy Command!"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Congratulations to the Holy Order!" ”

"Brother Xian, let's talk inside......" Zhang Anshi said softly: "It involves military affairs, and I also ask Brother Xian to find a clean place!" ”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Brother, please talk about it in the study......"

So, he led Zhang Anshi into the house, and at the same time instructed the Tian He brothers to retreat from all the subordinates within ten steps of the study, and no one was allowed to disturb them.

"Virtuous brother......" After entering the study, Zhang Anshi said: "Brother Fool is here to represent Your Majesty and hand over a task to Brother Xian!" ”

"The envoy of Wusun will arrive in Chang'an in October, because the envoy is secretly coming to the court, so His Majesty does not want to be disturbed by idle people, let alone the news of the envoy of Wusun's arrival in Han spreads!"

"It is even more necessary to protect the safety of the envoy in Chang'an!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty thought of the virtuous brother, and hoped that the virtuous brother would be the representative to welcome, take care of, and protect all the daily life ...... of the Wusun envoy during his stay in Beijing."

As soon as Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately knew the importance of this matter.

Wusun is the most important ally of the Han family!

Since Zhang Qian carved out the Western Regions, the greatest direction of Han diplomacy has been Wusun.

After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts and the struggle of Princess Xijun and Princess Wei, the Han family finally succeeded in digging the foot of the Xiongnu wall and pulling Wusun to their side.

As a result, a flanking attack on the Xiongnu was formed.

In fact, since the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, the Han army has repeatedly fought wars, and the ultimate strategic goal is only one is to open up the transportation link with Wusun, so that the Han and Wusun can directly communicate and cooperate in combat.

The Huns, of course, also understood this, so they did whatever it took to delay and prevent the strategic actions of the Han army.

This was the case with the Battle of Tianshan, and so was the Battle of Yuwushui.

The Huns' Hou Shan Yu even died from the injuries sustained during the battle of Yuwushui!

With the current military situation, once a passage is opened between Han and Wusun.

The rule of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions was about to fall apart.

Even the entire Xiongnu Empire is about to face the choice of surrendering or moving westward!
