Through this debate, Gongsun Hong's political style gradually became clear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info shoot when it's time to be sycophant, and do it when it's time to do things. When he tickled for the emperor, he did not forget to do things for the country. It seems that Liu Che wants this kind of work attitude.

But Gongsun Hong, who is soaring, is always chased and bitten by an old snake, this is the political partner that Gongsun Hong once cooperated: Ji Di.

Who is Jidian? Gongsun Hong knows. I think that when Tian Wei was about to put Dou Ying to death, except for Ji Di, basically no one said a fair word for Dou Ying. Why is Jidian so good? is not only a strong personality, but more importantly: he was Liu Che's enlightenment teacher!

In the Han Dynasty, many people knew such an old news: Wei Qing saw Liu Che, Liu Che could squat in the toilet and talk at the same time; Gongsun Hong wants to see Liu Che, and Liu Che can sometimes be exempted; But if Ji Di asks to see him, Liu Che has to be spotless and tidy before he can meet. Once, Ji Di suddenly broke into Liu Che's residence and asked for official business. At that time, Liu Che was not wearing a hat, and it was too late to see Ji Di coming from a distance. So I had to run into the tent and let the waiter give instructions on my behalf.

This kind of goods that even the emperor doesn't dare to provoke easily, of course Gongsun Hong can't afford to provoke and can't hide, the only way is: admit it!

On this day, Ji Huang suddenly bit Gongsun Hong in front of everyone, "Gongsun Hong is in the third duke, and he has a lot of money, but he has to cover the cloth when he goes home to sleep." Isn't he clearly deceitful, "Qi people are deceitful, deceiving the world and stealing fame, that's not wrong at all." This is the logic of Kidmi. This is the second time he has exposed Sun Hong's old background.

Liu Che turned his head and asked Gongsun Hong, "Is there really such a thing?"

Gongsun Hong calmly replied: "There is such a thing. As a third duke, I am also covered with a quilt, which really damages the image of high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty. However, I would like to thank Mr. Kiewan for his advice, and I am worthy of being a loyal servant. Your Majesty should be glad to have such a loyal servant, "High, really high!" Gongsun Hong avoided the truth and made him very embarrassed. Everyone pinched their necks, and even praised their good kung fu, worthy of being a kind person! Since then, Liu Che has admired Gongsun Hong more and more.

Ji Di had thousands of materials, and he pinched so much that he made Gongsun Hong's official bigger and bigger. I thought: When Ji Di saw this result, his heart should be sad. Wouldn't it be nice to know this earlier, just don't pinch it, and save some effort to recuperate?

This is not the saddest thing that Kiewan feels. What he didn't expect was that for those who didn't like the eye, as long as he pinched it, he couldn't help but become popular, and he would be promoted to the rank of official in the same way!

Liu Che was very sympathetic to Yu Dan, the prince of the Xiongnu who had lost the battle for the supreme leader, took him in, and made him the Marquis of She'an on April 7. But this Yu Shan is a short-lived ghost, I don't know if he is depressed or unadaptable, and after a few months, he climbed to the sky and complained to his father.

If the Huns' internal coaxing is only like this, it will be too boring. In fact, the surprising thing is still to come: just when the Xiongnu uncle and nephew were beating each other, suddenly a Han man took advantage of the chaos and fled in the direction of Chang'an. Soon, there was a sudden earth-shattering news in Chang'an City: After a farewell of thirteen years, Zhang Qian is back!

I seemed to see that in the summer of BC126, all Chinese watched with adoration as a ragged Han staggered into the city of Chang'an. The entire capital couldn't hide the tears of excitement, and with the footsteps of this Han Dynasty man, he swept all the way. This man who has experienced ups and downs in the past thirteen years may not know: when he dragged his shadow back to Chang'an, he also dragged his name into glorious history! Discover the New World of the Western Regions, the Silk Road, etc., the name Zhang Qian, compete for glory with the sun and the moon, and survive forever with heaven and earth!

As soon as Zhang Qian came out of the land of the Han Dynasty, he was detained by the military minister Shan Yu on the Xiongnu grassland! More than 10 years have passed since this detention. How many decades are there in a person's life? Maybe we've gone too far and forgotten the way back. Zhang Qian not only went too far this time, but also stayed long enough. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who sent him out of the city back then, probably no longer believed that Zhang Qian could come back: these more than 100 people must have been beaten with meat buns, and there was no return.

But in the past ten years, Zhang Qian has never forgotten how he came to be. I haven't forgotten how I'm going to walk back. In the past ten years, as the Huns gradually relaxed their vigilance against him, Zhang Qian did two escape jobs: first, he learned Hu language; Secondly, he figured out the route to the Western Regions.

With a map in mind, no matter how far you go or how long you fly, you won't get lost. Zhang Qian has two maps in his heart: one is the Western Regions and the other is the Han Dynasty! Han Dynasty, Chang'an, one day, I, Zhang Qian, will come back!

Sure enough, one day, Zhang Qian and the Hun tour guide escaped with their entourage. The direction of the escape is a country in the Western Regions called Dawan. After ten years of residence in the Xiongnu, the changes in the Western Regions are too great. It turned out that the Yueshi country, which was living a good life, was defeated by another country called Wusun. The king of the Yue clan had no choice but to flee with the people of the whole country farther west, looking for a new habitat...

You have to pass through the Dawan Kingdom to reach the Yue Kingdom. Zhang Qian led everyone over the mountains and mountains, and it took more than ten days to finally arrive at Dawan Kingdom.

Although this Dawan Kingdom is 108,000 miles away from the Han Dynasty, they also seem to have a little rumor of the Han Dynasty's wealth. coincided with Zhang Qian's arrival, and when he preached it in their ears, they believed it even more. Zhang Qian lobbied King Dawan like this: "I am representing the emperor of the Han Dynasty to envoy to the Yueshi country. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Huns on the road and locked up for more than ten years. If you are willing to send someone to protect us from reaching the Yue Clan Kingdom safely. Then when I return to the Han Dynasty, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to thank you heavily."

King Dawan listened to Zhang Qian's words and was very satisfied. Shunshui does personal favors, and makes friends, you can have more roads in the future, why not? So he sent a guard, equipped with translators and tour guides, and sent Zhang Qian and his party safely to Kangjuguo. King Kangju also took care of the face of King Dawan and the Han Dynasty, and sent a personal favor to Zhang Qian and his party safely to the Yueshi Kingdom.

I've been chasing you for thousands of miles. Yueshiguo, I finally found you!

However, what disappointed Zhang Qian was that this Yueshi country, which he had found after more than ten years of wind, frost, rain and snow, was no longer the Yueshi country of the past. In the past, the Yue clan was a man as the king, but now it has been replaced by a woman. And that's not even the main thing. What's more: this Yue's country, although the two countries of Xiongnu and Wusun are running around like cats and mice, but there are also differences in the size of mice. The fleeing Yueshi rat suddenly discovered that Daxia was an easier to bully rat, so he subdued him and put down roots.

As soon as the Yueshi Kingdom took root, they found that this new territory was really a good place to live. The land here is fertile, the Xiongnu and Wusun are far away in the sky, and Daxia is also very obedient. Our Yueshi people were bullied in the past, and now it's our turn to bully others, it seems to be enough? So year after year, the Yueshi country, which had lived a good life, slowly forgot that the Xiongnu in the distance still owed their ancestors a blood debt!

Time is the best healing plaster! No matter how big the historical trauma. As long as you stick it hard, all the pain will be slowly healed with the years like water and the spring breeze. Zhang Qian suddenly realized: It's not a fucking good time for him to come!

But no matter what, now that it's here, what needs to be said still has to be said. After listening to Zhang Qian's words, the queen of the Yue clan politely rejected the plan to make peace with the Han Dynasty and deal with the Xiongnu together. The queen's reason is also very good: we are finally living a good life, why do we have nothing to bleed? Besides, what are the benefits of being on good terms with the Han Dynasty? The Han Dynasty is on the east side of the earth, we are on the west side of the earth, and the Huns are in the middle. If the Xiongnu bullied me, the Han Dynasty was beyond the reach of the whip. No matter how you calculate it, it is a loss for Yue's. So this diplomatic business can only be yellowed like this...

Woman, how can you be so easily satisfied? Zhang Qian was really speechless, but he was helpless. After more than ten years of hard pursuit, it turned out to be such a result. No way, admit it! Go home and report the situation to the emperor...

If you return to Chang'an by the same route, you must pass through the Xiongnu grassland, which is a self-defeating road. So Zhang Qian decided not to take the original path and took another shortcut. This is the legendary South Road, that is, the southern part of the Tarim Basin. And the Xiongnu are in the north of the Tarim Basin, that is, in the north.

That's it! But what Zhang Qian never imagined was that when he walked along the southern road, he fell into the hands of the Huns again!

Zhang Qian's route was designed like this: there were Qiang people in the southern province. The Han Dynasty had no grudges with the Qiang people, and it should be safe to cross their territory. But in fact, the territory of the Qiang people has long been taken over by the Huns. So Zhang Qian made a lot of calculations, but unfortunately fell into the clutches of the Huns.

The military minister Shan Yu did a good thing for Zhang Qian, allowing Zhang Qian to reunite with his wife and children who stayed in the Xiongnu. It's still the same sentence: obediently stay on the grassland and live until you are old! As for the Han Dynasty? Just stop daydreaming!

It seems that Zhang Qian can only stay and daydream? Daydreaming isn't impossible, though. Zhang Qian was detained again for more than a year, just as the military minister Shan Yu died of illness, and the prince Yu Shan and the military minister's younger brother Yi Zhixian fought for the throne. So Zhang Qian took advantage of the darkness of the two sides to prepare to escape with his wife and children with the original tour guide!

Zhang Qian and the fateful tour guide escaped back. But Zhang Qian's wife and children were intercepted by the Huns, who were chasing after them, and the husband and wife were separated forever and never saw each other again...

Someone with a heart calculated the cost of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions: more than 100 people went out, and only two of them could come back alive. And Zhang Qian also failed to persuade the Yue Kingdom to join forces against the Xiongnu. It seems to be a loss?

But Zhang Qian has two things in his heart, which no treasure can exchange! The same is a map of the Western Regions; The same is the perseverance of the Han Dynasty! Just for these two things, Zhang Qian didn't lose, Liu Che didn't lose, and the Han Dynasty didn't lose!

So I believe that when Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, saw Zhang Qian appear in front of him, he would also be like all ordinary Han Dynasty people, only tears and excitement! Thirteen years, finally back alive. In a word: it's not easy! Liu Che immediately worshiped Zhang Qian as the doctor in Taizhong, and the tour guide named Gan Father as the envoy.

Zhang Qian's hollow-out journey is like a divine axe splitting the third eye of the Han Dynasty and seeing a wider world. If the words are bigger, it is conducive to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures; If you are realistic, the countries of the Western Regions are all potential allies of the Han Dynasty, as long as they are willing to develop these diplomatic resources, they will have a pot of Xiongnu to drink!

Zhang Qian told Liu Che: "On this expedition, I actually found bamboo canes from the southwest Yiqiong land and cloth from Shu in the Great Xia Kingdom. The people of Bactria told me that these two things were sold by merchants from the country of poison (present-day India). This poisonous country, its customs and customs are not far from those of Great Xia. There is only one difference: its people fight on elephants, and its country is on the waters. I would like to make a bold guess for you, the emperor: Bactria is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Han Dynasty, in the southwest. And the body poison country is in the southeast of the Great Xia country, and it sells the specialties of the Shu country. Then, this body poison country should be in the middle of Shu and Great Xia, and it should not be far from Shu."

In that case, it will be easy to do. If the Han Dynasty wants to pass through the Western Regions, take the northern road? There were Huns in the way; Taking the South Road? The Qiang people also worked for the Xiongnu, and this road was also difficult to walk. Then the best way is: take the Shu Road! From the Shu Road to the countries of the Western Regions, the road is short, and it is an excellent shortcut for the Han Dynasty to open up the outside world and broaden its horizons!

Liu Che has been waiting for thirteen years, and what he is waiting for is such a miraculous report. At that moment, he was excited!

According to Zhang Qian, the Western Regions have always heard of the wealth of the Han Dynasty, but it was only a long way to go, so they gave up. If the Shu Road is opened, in order to lure it to come to worship and surrender to the Han Dynasty, it will make a lot of money.

After going around in a big circle, it turned out that the eyes of the Han Dynasty to the world were nothing more than the mountains and mountains in Shudi. Or is this saying good: how far the mind goes, how far we can go. Zhang Qian's thinking is right, his path is right, so why not go a little farther bravely?

So, Liu Che made a decision: the plan to develop Southwest Yi cannot be simply stopped! At the same time, organize explorers to take the South Road, the North Road, and the Shu Road, and explore the road separately until they find the road to the Western Regions!

In fact, Liu Che's plan is to burn money. But he burned it right. What he gets will far outweigh the cost of his investment!
