Mo Ma's face was calm, "Master Li thinks that I instructed Noya to steal the secrets of the Qianguo?" ”

"Isn't it?" asked Li Ji rhetorically.

"Of course not, in fact I always thought that Noah was burned to death! As for the two female warriors, they suddenly disappeared two days ago, and I sent someone to look for them for two days, if it wasn't for Master Li to tell me, I really didn't know that they were with Noya, I still haven't figured it out, what the hell is going on! ”

Li Ji picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and looked at Mo Ma with a serious face: "Your honor, you and I know the truth of this matter in our hearts!" This official hopes that your envoy will do what an envoy should do, don't wantonly trample on my law, and don't think that if you are an envoy of a female country, you will not dare to do anything to you! If it is found that your envoy is related to any case, the relevant yamen of our great cadre will definitely enforce the law impartially and will not care about your identity, and at the same time will send an envoy to the female country to question the king of your country, asking her whether she really wants to submit to my great cadre, or whether she wants to take the opportunity of submission to steal our country's secrets and try to provoke a war! ”

The tone of this rebuke can be said to be quite heavy, and for the envoys of a country, it can be said to be a real slap in the face.

Mo Ma's face kept changing, and finally she calmed down and said: "Lord Li, you can rest assured, the purpose of this king coming here is to represent our king's sincere obedience to Daqian, and at the same time discuss with the Daqian court about the opening of the border mutual market, which is beneficial to both sides!" Next, this king must strictly restrain his subordinates, and will never let them be bribed or bewitched by others again! ”

Li Ji's face softened a little, "That's the best!" ”

This kind of thing can't be hidden in the officialdom at all, and within a few days, the circle of envoys from various countries stationed in Chang'an at the table quickly spread, and the envoys of all countries also tried to keep their distance from Moma, lest they be implicated.

Li Ji also went to the palace to report to Zhao Junsheng on this matter.

After listening to Li Ji's report, Zhao Junsheng said: "It's best if Moma can stop, if she continues to do whatever she wants, the relevant yamen must not tolerate it, otherwise outsiders will think that I am a big bully!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the eunuch came over to report and said: "Your Majesty, Gu Wenlin, the secretary of Dali Temple, has come to meet you by oral order!" ”

"Xuan!"

The eunuch walked to the door and let Gu Wenlin enter the hall.

"Minister Gu Wenlin greets Your Majesty!"

"Flat!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and asked, "How many of Tuoba Fulan's accomplices have you found in the third division these days?" ”

Gu Wenlin bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it has been found that a total of eight officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee and four generals and colonels are the accomplices of Tuoba Fulan, these people are dissatisfied with Your Majesty and my Daqian court on weekdays, and almost all of them have contraband in their homes!" ”

"What was the outcome of the interrogation, did they all confess?"

"The ministers blocked the news of Tuoba Fulan's death, and these people thought he was not dead and confessed to them, so they all confessed to their collusion with Tuoba Mulan and their intention to rebel!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Of course, I hope that all Tuoba Fulan's accomplices can be found out without leakage, but I don't want you to be beaten into tricks and wronged loyal ministers, and I don't want to implicate many people because of this matter, which will make the officials of the court panic!" To convict each and every one of them, there must be evidence and confessions drawn by themselves, and they must not be unjustly imprisoned! At the same time, after the verdict of the case, if the family of the sufferer raises an objection, they can appeal, and the relevant yamen must re-examine, and if doubts are found, it is necessary to initiate a retrial procedure to minimize the occurrence of unjust cases. ”

"I hope that the judicial execution of my Daqian will become regular from your Dali Temple, and the judgments of all cases will be based on the laws and regulations of Daqian, and try to put an end to intercession, non-compliance with procedures, and illegal operations!"

Gu Wenlin bowed his hand: "Your Majesty is Shengming, with the support of Your Majesty, the minister is confident that the implementation of the laws and regulations of the Great Cadres will be regularized in his office!" ”

On April 15, at the court meeting, the chief officials of each of the three legal divisions came forward to report on the follow-up process of dealing with the Tuoba Bulan in collusion with the Mantou Dolin rebellion.

After listening to this, Zhao Junsheng asked: "I am very puzzled, Mantou Dolin has not been in Chang'an for a long time, how did she get on the line with Tuoba Fulan?" Could it be that she had known that Tuoba Servan had a grudge and was trying to launch a mutiny to kill me? ”

Gu Wenlin, the secretary of Dali Temple, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister knows that Tuoba Servant's accomplice and head of the household department, Wu Servant Dashi, fell for Mantou Tuolin's trick and informed her of his relationship with Tuoba Servant Lan and their conspiracy, so she caught up with Tuoba Servant Lan through Wufu Dashi!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said angrily: "This woman is simply doing everything to achieve her goal!" Send a decree to Gao Jinzhi, so that he doesn't need to ask for instructions, and he will send troops directly when he is ready to go on the expedition, and sweep away Shanshanguo for me! ”

In May of the 17th year of the Great Qian, Gao Jinzhi, the general of the cadre army, led 10,000 cavalry to set off from Dunhuang, out of Yangguan, through the desert of the place of death, Bailongdui, and then the army turned to advance to follow the city.

Yixun City is the eastern city of Shanshan Kingdom, in the era of Loulan Ancient Kingdom, the capital of Loulan Kingdom was in Loulan City, due to the diversion of the Peacock River, the lack of water resources near Loulan City, Loulan people had to gradually move south.

In 77 B.C., the people of Loulan moved the capital to Hunicheng, and the name of the country was changed to Shanshanguo.

Since Fuqu Wuxian led the army to attack Shanshan Kingdom in the west, Shanshan King Bilong held on for some time, Fuqu Wushu couldn't attack for a long time, and retreated to Yixun City, and later Bilong was afraid that Fuqu Wushu would continue to attack Hunian City, so he retreated to the end, and his son surrendered in Hunicheng.

Frustrated Qu was worried about being attacked by the cadre army, and saw the chaos in Gaochang, so he led the army north to attack Gaochang and occupy it, established Gaochang Beiliang, abandoned Hunian City and Yixun City, Shanshan Army reoccupied these two cities, and Bilong moved back to Hunicheng.

At this time, the city of Yixun existed as the acropolis of the mud city, but Shanshanguo did not have many garrisons in this city, only a few hundred people, after Gao Jinzhi's 10,000 troops arrived, the defenders of the city were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled, and the cadres did not spend a soldier to occupy the city.

The mud city is only 100 miles away from the city, and the cadres and troops under the command of Gao Jinzhi spent two days approaching the city, and they did not commit any crimes against the people of Shanshan who cultivated on the roadside along the way.

Knowing that he was invincible, if he resolutely resisted, the country was likely to be ruined, so he led the officials and defenders of the city out of the city and surrendered.

Gao Jinzhi did not embarrass Bilong and the royal family, but only asked Bilong to order other cities in Shanshan to surrender, and when he sent troops to take over the cities and forts in Shanshan, he sent people to send Bilong's family to Chang'an, and Shanshan was destroyed.

Subsequently, Gao Jinzhi set up the Western Regions Governor's Mansion in Hunicheng, arranged for officials to preside over government affairs, and left 500 troops to garrison, and he personally led the army to the north, and he sent a team of 1,000 people to Yiwu to station.

Soon after, he led his army to Yanqi one after another, and was warmly welcomed by the king of Yanqi and his people, and presented a large amount of treasures, livestock, melons, fruits and grains to the cadres.

As the suzerain, the Daqian Dynasty had the right to garrison troops in Yanqi, and Gao Jinzhi left 500 people to garrison Yuli City and reclaim 5,000 acres of fertile land, and the garrison military expenses were borne by Yanqi.

The Qiuci State did not send envoys to Chang'an and returned to the Shun Qianguo, so Gao Jinzhi led an army to attack the Qiuci Kingdom, and the King of Qiuci personally led the army to meet the battle.

Gao Jinzhi broke it with cavalry, the king of Qiuci led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Gumo City, Gao Jinzhi then attacked the city with infantry, only three days, the defenders of Qiuci City were forced to open the city gate and surrender.

The Qianzi army rested in Qiuci City for three days, and then continued to march to Gumo City and Weitou City.

Gao Jinzhi sent someone to escort the king of Qiuci to Chang'an, collected the military power of Qiuci, and ordered his nephew to temporarily handle government affairs on behalf of the throne of Qiuci.

After solving the Qiuzi problem, the Silk Road was finally completely opened, and the achievements of the cadres in the Western Regions also greatly shocked other countries in the Western Regions.

The smooth passage of the Silk Road made business travel more frequent on this road, forming two passages in the north and south of the Western Regions.

Gao Jinzhi's strategy in the Western Regions was a great success, and he seized hundreds of millions of rare treasures just by attacking the country of Qiuzi, and there were countless camels, horses, and livestock, filling the treasury of Daqian.

With the arrival of King Shanshan, King Qiuci and the envoys of the Western Regions to Chang'an, Gao Jinzhi's report also arrived in Chang'an at the same time, and at this time, four months had passed since Gao Jinzhi led his army from Dunhuang.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, Zhao Junsheng received a note from Gao Jinzhi, who said that all the countries in the Western Regions had surrendered, and had now opened up the two Silk Roads in the north and south.

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed after reading Gao Jinzhi's recital, and ordered someone to draft an edict to reward Gao Jinzhi and the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and said that he would be rewarded after he led the army to level Gaochang.

The edict had just been promulgated, and Li Ji, the secretary of Honglu Temple, entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Regions have arrived in Xianyang, if it is too late today, it is estimated that they will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow when they come back!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's coming very quickly! By the way, have King Qiuci and King Shanshan been properly settled? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, they have been placed in the embassy, and there is no shortage of attendants and living utensils!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "That's good, the envoys of the Western Regions will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, and your Honglu Temple will arrange the reception and show the demeanor and majesty of a great country!" ”

"Obey! I don't know when Your Majesty plans to receive the envoys of various countries, and the ministers can make arrangements! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and said: "There are only a few days left before the Great Dynasty Meeting in the middle of the month, so let's arrange to meet together at the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the location will still be set up in the Taiji Hall!" In the past few days, I will ask the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces to report their government affairs in advance, so as to give enough time to meet with the envoys of various countries! ”

"No!"
