In many materials of the Han History Museum, several events that happened in the spring of this year have been recorded in detail, and the entire process of cause and effect is very complete, so that future generations can fully understand all the details of these events. This is an extremely rare thing for the great Han Taishi Ling, who is known for his concise historical writing.

In fact, what future generations don't know is that in the hearts of many people at that time, they all had the same idea as Tai Shiling, that is, to make these few things that can be said to be of great influence clear, and then seal the most authentic truth in the history books and folk legends, and the reason for doing it is only one way, to defend the sage and cherish its feathers!

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong in the world, there are gray and white, and some things are naturally fair in people's hearts, and black and white are the most distinct. Insiders are entangled in interests and have to go against their will. Onlookers look at this game of chess, but they only look at the pattern in the palm of their hands.

The power structure of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty has been calm for a long time and has not made big waves. Maybe it's because the court is quietly thinking about it, and the long-suppressed ambition is slowly waking up with the arrival of spring? Maybe the eyes on the throne of the Nine Dragons can't stand this pool of still water? The question of where the hint of stirring up the storm came from is something that most people have not figured out in the spring that ensued with a great storm.

It is said that it is several things, but in fact, it can also be summed up in one thing. Because the spearhead of these events all pointed to the same target, that is, the twenty-one-year-old young man who held the two titles of Marquis of Changle and Marquis of Anguo. At that time, the Han Empire was beginning to revitalize, a large number of handsome talents were proud, and the people who were respectfully called Yuanhou officially wore the crown robe and crown belt in line with his noble status, and attracted the attention of countless people in the flowery spring of Chang'an, which also heralded the arrival of the most important moment in his life.

The big weddings that have been rumored to be publicized by the outside world have actually been basically determined. Naturally, all kinds of preparations are extremely tedious, and many people involved in it are very busy. But all of this, Yuan Zhao doesn't need to worry about it. His main focus now is still on the major affairs of the Western Expedition.

In Yuan Zhao's hand, the only errand assigned by the emperor is to let him be fully responsible for all the follow-up matters of the conquest of the Western Regions army. For this matter involving a turning point in the country's fortunes, he naturally went all out, and he didn't dare to slack off in his heart.

Military victory, he has great confidence, and there is no need to think much about this. Yuan Zhao's focus was on how to maximize the fruits of victory and minimize the losses of the Han army. To this end, he did not hesitate to organize and mobilize all the forces he had accumulated over the years to ensure sufficient backup support and supplies for the Western Expedition. This included the mobilization of a large number of ships to transfer supplies and the subsequent follow-up and spread of trade routes.

All wars serve political and economic interests. This idea, after so many years of indoctrination, has been recognized by the emperor and the majority of the people in the government and the opposition. After the departure of the Western Expeditionary Army, in addition to a large number of rich families led by the Yanbei Nie family, the Donghai Xu family, and the Shuzhong Zhuo family, etc., they organized forces to follow up, and many big businessmen from all over the world came to Chang'an one after another, wanting to find an opportunity to catch up with the relationship of Yuan Zhao.

The development of the Han Dynasty to this day, if you want to ask what is the fastest development, everyone can see, neither military nor agriculture, but the way of merchants who were regarded as "cheap industries" in the past.

The merchants, who had been classified as "untouchables" in previous dynasties, probably never dreamed that their status and way of life would have changed dramatically in just over a decade.

"Everything depends on the power of the Yuanhou!" When these words came out of the mouths of many businessmen in the four seas of the north and south of the Yangtze River, the gratitude and sincerity contained in it came from the bottom of my heart.

If there are still people who say to their faces that the status of businessmen is low, then they don't need to refute it themselves, just the contemptuous gaze of the common people, which can also make the person who says this shameless.

Facts speak louder than words, and living examples are out there. The market is prosperous, food and clothing are used, business scheduling, and goods circulation...... All of this is closely related to everyone's life, but it comes from the merits of businessmen. Speaking of status, the Nie family, the richest man in Jiangbei, has been personally awarded the title of "Loyal and Righteous Marquis" by today's son, which can be described as both rich and noble. The exquisite smelting technology of the Zhuo family in Shuzhong has become the military industry of the Han Dynasty, and the salt smelting in the East China Sea controlled by the Xu family is circulated for half of the world, and it is far from enough to describe it with the word rich and rival the country. The rest of the dozen or so big businessmen similar to them are all in various fields, and they are all admirable existences. Rich, big! Since then, it has gradually become the goal of many people's lifelong pursuit.

In this spring, there are many businessmen who come to Chang'an. Some came with the dream of making a fortune, and some were well-informed, and they arrived from thousands of miles away for the opening of the Western Regions trade route and the marriage of the young marquis, just to express their hearts while looking for opportunities.

Bu Shi, who came from the land of Henan, was one of these merchants. Bu Shi is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and is a simple person. Although his family is not a wealthy family in Henan County, it is also a wealthy businessman.

The main business of the Bu Shi family is to raise mules, horses, cattle and sheep, etc., and after the two brothers inherited the family business, they were also born at the right time, just in time for the Han and Hungarian wars, and the war began. After several Han victories, countless captives from the steppes were brought back to the Han Dynasty, including millions of cattle, sheep, and horses. Many businessmen engaged in north-south trafficking have made great fortunes, and the Bu family is no exception.

Although Bu Shi was a businessman and he was getting older, he was an aspiring man. With his own powers of observation, he was very soberly aware that perhaps the best era in history was coming. Everyone who has the ability, as long as they seize any of these opportunities, will make a great difference.

The Nie family in Yanbei can be sealed on the ground by chance, so why can't others? Princes and generals, rather have a kind! People with a firm heart will never let go of any opportunity. So, after hearing that the Han Dynasty had officially decided to open the Western Regions, Bu Shi embarked on a trip to Chang'an from Henan without hesitation.

The so-called "those who want to reach the North Sea need to attach the tail wing of Kunpeng"! If you want to ride the wind in this magnificent era, you need to choose a direction and the right guide, so that you can fly higher and go further. Bu Shi's eyes are vicious, and among the princes of the court, the follower he chooses is the youngest Hou Ye Yuanzhao.

As an ordinary Han Dynasty person, a man named Bu Shi was simple by nature and treated people sincerely. As a businessman, he has his own unique perspective and keen insight. From a very early age, he has been carefully collecting and observing all the news about Yuan Zhao. Over the years, after analyzing all the information he had collected, he was shocked by everything Yuan Zhao had done.

Therefore, nothing in the world can be hidden from the eyes of those who have a heart. As long as you observe carefully, you will definitely gain something. Bu Shi was very careful, and he had been observing for several years before making his current decision. Then the harvest he will get in the future will be incomparably huge.

However, now that he is trying his best to meet Yuan Zhao's side in Chang'an City, he naturally does not know his future prospects. His greatest hope now is that this already famous Yuanhou can take a little time to listen to his views on some things.

However, at this stall, there are too many people who want to find a chance to meet Yuan Zhao, and it is not easy for someone like him to enter the Hou Mansion. Bu Shi has been in Chang'an City for a long time, and although he has met a large number of fellow Taoists during this period, it is also a great gain. But I have never seen Yuan Zhao once, and I can't help but feel very disappointed.

Fortunately, I heard that Yuanhou's wedding is approaching, and after he is busy for a while, there should still be a chance. I heard that the young marquis is very approachable, and he doesn't look at his status when dealing with people. Chang'an is extremely prosperous, and it is also a beautiful thing to have some knowledge here for a few months.

It was with this mood that Bu Shi and a large group of big businessmen from Tiannan and Haibei, who had recently become acquainted, stayed in Chang'an, drinking and singing and tasting food every day, and their lives were happy.

It's just that when I heard some rumors today, the big guy's heart suddenly became a little worried. The wine was tasteless, and the food was unpalatable, although I didn't know whether it was true or false in the restaurants in the market, but it was bad news after all, and everyone had doubts on their faces, and they gathered together and talked in low voices.

It happened suddenly, almost without warning. Even with the extreme sensitivity of the people of Chang'an to the affairs of the court, no one could have thought in advance that someone would launch an attack on the young Hou Ye Yuanzhao at the court meeting of the Hanyuan Palace at this juncture.

There is not much definite news circulating now, and the only thing that can be known is that at today's court meeting, in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials, several important ministers came out one after another and made serious contributions to Yuan Zhao, who was not present.

Liu Xuan, the solemn face of the great sect, gathered the unanimous opinions of the patriarchs of the clan, and severely refuted the matter of marrying the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty to Marquis Yuanzhao of An Guo from several aspects, from the Han system to the inheritance of legal principles. And on behalf of the clan, he asked His Majesty the Emperor to retract the decree and cancel the marriage, so as to avoid leaving a bad influence on future generations.

The old guy was right, standing on the Hanyuan Palace, not angry and arrogant. He said this as a great sect, and some ministers who were kind to Yuan Zhao felt a little at a loss even if they wanted to argue for him.

And compared to this incident, the content of Du Zhou, the captain of the Han Dynasty who came out later, made all the ministers in the Hanyuan Hall lose their color!
