Although the time was very tight, Zhang Fang was not in a hurry to leave Chigu City, not completely because he was intoxicated by Zhaojun's gentle township, but because he had to lay a good foundation for Zhaojun and Ban Zhi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn just three days, Zhang Fang braved the severe cold to visit the upper echelons of Wusun in a row, giving gifts, and promising to open the door for the trade of the princes in Star Picking City, and finally made a good relationship.

Well, at this time, although Zhang Fang was still three thousand miles away from Kangju and Star City, the rumors of Star City had reached his ears.

During the three days, Zhang Fang was busy and summoned more than a dozen businessmen from different places. Their common feature is that they all have shops in Star Picking City. Zhang Fang inquired in detail, and it was a mixed blessing.

Happily, as he expected, Star City has become a well-known Silk Road transit station and trade city in more than three years. In Middle-earth, the Western Regions, and Central Asia, merchants from various countries poured in, rented and bought shops in the city, and business was booming. Worryingly, this positive situation only lasted for two short years. Since the beginning of this year, the Kangju people seem to be dissatisfied, the Kangju national teacher Wutuo and the little king of the Dieli Department have repeatedly stretched out their hands to the Star City, if it were not for the leader of the Rhino Moon Department and the vice king Tu Mo to resolutely push back, it is estimated that the Star City has changed its owner now.

After all, these businessmen are outsiders, and although they have provided a lot of information, they have a lot of specific things that they can't understand. However, for Zhang Fang, this information was very valuable, at least it gave him a general understanding of the achievements of Star Picking City, as well as the current predicament.

"Wutuo, Khotan, you brought a lot of trouble to the Western Expedition Coalition back then, and I didn't have time to clean you up for a while. It seems that this time the new account and the old account have to be settled. ”

Zhang Fang made a decision and set off the next day to Kangju. Before that, though, he has one more place to go. Moreover, I took Zhaojun, Qingyan and others together.

Less than 20 miles away from Akaya Castle, there is a flat land with mountains and rivers and forests in the background. Here, according to the shape of the Central Plains, a red rock tomb was built. The tombstone is engraved with "The Tomb of the Right General's Wife and the Lady of the Feng Family of the Han Family".

"This is my great-grandmother's grave."

The person who brought Zhang Fang and his party here to pay their respects was a Wusun woman in her thirties. said that she was a Wusun woman, and she was dressed like a Wusun person, but her appearance and temperament had a bit of Han charm.

Zhang Fang thanked him, his face was solemn, and he led Ban Zhi, Zhaojun, Qingyan, the maid and a group of servants to step forward in turn. According to the ritual of the Central Plains sacrifice, put three animals, sprinkle grass stalks, and solemnly worship.

Here, the daughter of the Han family and the legendary female diplomat who does not let the women have eyebrows - Mrs. Feng Feng is buried.

The most legendary female diplomat in Chinese history was originally the maid of Princess Xie Wu. After coming to Wusun with the princess, because of her natural intelligence, literacy and good books, she and the princess comforted each other and felt like sisters. Feng Yan often galloped to the pasture, went in and out of the felt tent, and in just a few years, he was already familiar with the language and customs of the Western Regions.

General Wusun admired Feng Yan and asked to marry her. As a result, her identity jumped from the princess's maid to the wife of the right general. Whether it is the Han Dynasty, Wusun, or the countries of the Western Regions, they can all be recognized, and they initially have the conditions to become diplomatic envoys.

Princess Xie Wei married into Wusun, with the mission of promoting the Han Dynasty and benefiting the countries of the Western Regions. But after all, she is a princess, and she is Kunmi's right man, so it is inconvenient to go out to tour the countries, and Feng Yan happens to be the most suitable replacement. As a result, Feng Yan visited neighboring countries as an envoy on behalf of Princess Xie Wu, presented gifts to the king, and promoted the prestige of the Han Dynasty. The monarchs and ministers of various countries were surprised to see that the Han Dynasty was a woman, generous and humble, good at rhetoric, and did not even need an interpreter when talking to people.

When Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was in power, civil strife broke out in Wusun. The imperial court originally wanted his nephew Yuan Guimi (the son of Princess Xie Wei) to inherit the throne, but unexpectedly, the pro-Xiongnu Beishan general Wu slaughtered the king and established himself as king. After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty received the report, he urgently ordered the Qiang general Xin Wuxian to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses into Dunhuang, preparing to attack Wu and slaughter. Zheng Ji, who was the protector of the Western Regions at the time, considered that the Han army was far away and the outcome was unpredictable, and suggested that the imperial court send an envoy to negotiate with Wu on Tu and persuade him to give way. Zheng Ji knew that Feng Yan was good at diplomacy and recommended her to be the responsible person.

At this time of crisis, Feng Yan happily accepted the appointment, her husband General Right has a very close relationship with Wu Tu, so she and Wu Tu are also very familiar, so she said to Wu Tu straight to the point: "The general has taken the throne, which seems to be gratifying, but the joy is not worry-free." Now that the army of the Han Dynasty has arrived in Dunhuang, isn't the general's army fighting the tiger with a flock? ”

Wu Zhitu was very frightened when he heard this, and he was moved.

Feng Yan Xiaozhi reasoned: "Han and Wusun are like a family, if the two countries go to war, the people will suffer, and the general will be ruined, so think twice." ”

Wu Zhitu knew that he was far from being an opponent of the Han army, and finally gave in: "I am willing to listen to my wife's advice and give way to Yuan Guimi, but I ask the Han Dynasty to give me a title." ”

So after Feng Yan returned to China to ask Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he took a horse brocade car, held the Han Festival, summoned Wu to slaughter Chigu City, and read the edict. Liyuan Guimi is the big Kunmi, and Wu is slaughtered as the small Kunmi. Relying on Feng Yan's mediation, he finally turned the conflict into a jade silk and eliminated a killing between the Han Dynasty and Wusun.

This was the most glorious successful diplomacy in Madame Feng's life, and Madame Feng was recorded in Chinese history as an outstanding female diplomat admired by future generations.

In the third year of manna (51 years ago), Princess Xie Wu was already seventy years old, missing her homeland, and wrote to the Son of Heaven to return. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty considered that she had lived in a foreign land for most of her life, worked hard for the country, and contributed to the Han family, so he sent someone to take Princess Xie Wei and Feng Yan back to Chang'an, and took care of Liu Xie Wei's diet and daily life with the gift of a princess. also treated Feng Yan with kindness and courtesy.

In the first year of Huanglong (49 years ago), Princess Xie Wei died of illness and was buried with the rites of a princess.

At that time, Wusun Dakun Mixing was cowardly by nature, and after succeeding to the throne, the situation in Wusun was turbulent again due to the lack of way to govern the country. Although Feng Yan lived in Chang'an, he was concerned about Wusun, and wrote to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty to request that he be the envoy of the Han Dynasty again, and send Wusun to calm the stars. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty sent a team of 100 soldiers to escort Feng Yan's third envoy to Wusun.

Feng Yan used her prestige and talent to persuade all parties in Wusun to resolve their suspicions, resist the Wusun massacre and annexation attempt, and help Xingmi stabilize the situation. In this regard, she successfully took over the political power and firmly ruled for 20 years, which can be described as a great contribution. From the female to the ordinary herdsmen, all of them are respectful.

A few years later, Feng Yan died and was buried near Wusun Chigu Castle. Her children and grandchildren, partly in Chang'an, partly in Wusun. At present, the person who led Zhang Fang and others to worship was Feng Yan's descendant, the great-granddaughter Uma.

After the worship, Zhang Fang said to Zhaojun: "Do you know why I brought you to pay homage to Madame Feng?" ”

Zhaojun bowed his head slightly: "Madame is really a heroine among women, a big Hanqi woman, Zhaojun can only worship." ”

Zhang Fang said leisurely: "How much a person can do, in addition to internal factors, also need suitable external factors. If it hadn't been for Princess Xie Wu's departure, Mrs. Feng might have been unknown to the public, and she would have been just a servant of a princely family for life. History gave her an opportunity, and she seized it and achieved the legend of Mrs. Feng. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fang paused for a moment, looked at Zhaojun, and was full of deep meaning: "If you are in Chang'an, you are just a maid of the princely family." And since you choose to go out of the plug, it means that you have chosen to be extraordinary. You now have an identity that is no less than that of Mrs. Feng back then, and it depends on you how you can do it. ”

Zhaojun's eyes gradually widened, and his face was full of disbelief: "I ......"

After a long time, Zhao Jun said a sentence that had been entangled in his heart for a long time: "Zhao Jun is just a maid of the deep palace who has little knowledge, and this time it is purely a coincidence, why does Lang Jun always think that I can do something unusual?" ”

"Because, you are Zhaojun!" Zhang Fang's eyes flashed, and he smiled meaningfully, "I'm very optimistic about you." (To be continued.) )
