~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the eighth day of the first month of March, when the two factions of the court were disagreeing, Liu Xiang, the former Zongzheng who had been in seclusion for many years and did not care about political affairs, unexpectedly went up to the Son of Heaven. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Zhi Zhishan imprisoned and killed hundreds of envoys and officials, and the matter was violent to foreign countries, and the prestige was heavily damaged, and the ministers were all humiliated. His Majesty wanted to punish him, and he did not forget it. The Western Regions all protect the longevity, the deputy captain Tang Chengsheng, relying on the gods, the king of the whole hundred barbarians, the soldiers of the city, out of a hundred deaths, into the desperate domain, then follow the Kangju, slaughter the five cities, the banner of the Marquis, the head of the Zhizhi, hanging thousands of miles away, the west of Kunshan, sweeping the shame of Guji, the merit of Zhaoming, all the people are afraid of the earthquake...... Establish a thousand years of merit, build the peace of eternity, and the ministers are great......"

“…… Today's longevity and soup are shocked, although the head of "Yi" and the thunder of "Poem" cannot be reached...... The longevity and soup have not been rewarded, and the work of giving their lives has been frustrated for a long time before the knife and pen, so they have to persuade the meritorious soldiers. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi had the merit of respecting Zhou, and then he had the crime of extinction; A gentleman acts in obscurity with merit and demerit. Li Guangli, the general of the second division, donated 50,000 yuan of division, hundreds of millions of expenses, and after four years of labor, he obtained 30 horses, although he beheaded the king of Wan, it was still not enough to recover the expenses, and his personal sins were very many. Xiaowu thought that he was going to conquer thousands of miles and did not record his mistakes, so he worshiped the two marquis, the three qings, and more than 2,000 stones. Today, Kangju is stronger than Dawan, and the number of Zhizhi is heavier than that of King Wan, and the crime of killing the messenger is worse than keeping a horse. And longevity, soup does not bother the Hanshi, does not cost to fight for food, compared with the second master, the merit is hundred. And Chang Hui followed the Wusun who wanted to attack, and Zheng Ji welcomed the day when he came, and he was still torn and knighted. Therefore, the mighty and industrious ones are greater than Uncle Fang and Ji Fu, the meritorious ones are better than Qi Huan and the Second Master, and the merits of recent affairs are higher than those of An Yuan and Changluo. And the great achievement has not been achieved, the small evil is scattered, and the ministers steal the pain! It is advisable to solve the county nationality in time, except for the treatment, and respect the title to persuade meritorious. ”

This loud and comprehensive support for Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang is like a heavy weight, completely pressing the balance of public opinion on the military. Shi Xian, Kuang Heng and others lost their voices for a while, and Xu Jia and Wang Shang soared. Although the relatives couldn't figure out why this clansman, who had always been at odds with them and was famous for his virtue, suddenly came to their aid, it did not prevent them from striking while the iron was hot and going up one after another.

Although Emperor Yuan was mediocre, he was not a faint monarch, and his heart actually praised Gan and Chen's actions, but he lacked a weighty voice to suppress the opposition of Shi Xian and his ilk. Liu Xiang's upward sparseness broke the deadlock of wrestling between the two factions and gave the Son of Heaven a chance to get off the donkey.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, the Son of Heaven officially issued an edict: "The Xiongnu Zhizhi is single on the back of etiquette, leaving to kill Han envoys and officials, which is very contrary to the truth, how can I forget it!" Therefore, those who travel well and do not levy, re-cooperate with the teachers, and work handsomely, so they forbear and do not have clouds. Today, the longevity is extended, the soup is cheap, the time is advantageous, the city is Guo Zhuguo, and the teacher is good at rejuvenating the system and levying it. Lai Tiandi Zongmiao's spirit, punished Zhi Zhishan Yu, won its head, and the Yan family, nobles, and famous kings below thousands. Although he exceeded the righteous law, he did not bother with the battle of a husband, did not open the treasury, and supported the army because of the enemy's food, and made meritorious contributions thousands of miles away. Powerful and barbaric, famous all over the world, for the country to remove the remnants, the original rest of the military revolution, the border can be safe. However, it is still inevitable that death will occur, and the sin should lie in the constitution, and I will not be able to do it. It pardons the sin of prolonging life and soup, and does not cure it. ”

This edict finally officially justified the name of the Western Expeditionary Army, cleared the sins of Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang, and the dispute over merit and guilt was finally concluded.

The relatives sent their palms to congratulate, and they won again. And Kuang Heng and Fan Yanshou, who originally thought that they had a good chance of winning, were also depressed by Liu Xiang, who came out to disrupt the situation. But the matter has come to this, even Shi Xian behind the scenes does not dare to act, and these two front desk representatives can only admit it.

However, the matter was not over, and almost at the same time as this edict was issued, a note submitted by Du Xun, the military marquis of the Western Regions Protectorate, appeared in front of the case of the Son of Heaven in the Xuanmu Hall of Weiyang Palace (where the emperor's daily office is located). It was written by Chen Tang, the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions Protectorate, to avenge the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army who were detained and tortured along the way.

The recital is very short, but the sentences are sonorous, and the ending is even more breathless: "...... The ministers and the officials punished Zhi Zhi Shan Yu together, and fortunately they were captured. Thousands of miles to revitalize the brigade, it is advisable to have a messenger to welcome the road. Today's division is against the reverse system, and it is to avenge Zhizhi! ”

Emperor Yuan just issued an edict to commend Gan and Chen Xizheng for their merits, but there was such a slap in the face, isn't this a slap in the face - of course it was not Chen Tang who slapped his face, but Zhuge Feng, the captain of Sili, who slapped his face!

Emperor Yuan's face was ugly, and he summoned Zhuge Feng into the palace and severely criticized him. Half an hour later, the embarrassed Zhuge Feng wiped his sweat out of the palace, and immediately sent a post post for 400 miles to expedite, urgently telling the counties of Hexi along the way to release the officials of the detained western expeditionary army. At the same time, the imperial court ordered the counties and counties to drink and eat in official props in the form of official documents, so as to work for the victorious division.

Now that the nature of the Western Expedition has been determined, the battle for the head of Zhizhi has also settled. The edict was like the proposal of Xu Jia and Wang Shanger, and the head of the Zhizhi branch was hung on the street for ten days to deter the barbarians and set an example.

On the day of the hanging, thousands of people in Chang'an were empty, and the city was watching, almost squeezing the gate of the street. And the Hu people in the market have necks three inches shorter than usual.

Zhi Zhi hung his head, and the most excited person in the entire Chang'an City was not Zhang Fang, nor Du Xun, let alone Liu Xiang, but the son of Gu Ji, the envoy of the Han Dynasty who died for the country, Taichang Cheng Gu Yong.

Gu Yong bought a restaurant in Xidong City, Chang'an with 100 gold, and invited the neighbors all over the neighborhood, whether they knew each other or not, but whenever they entered the building, as long as they recited a sentence "Those who commit crimes against the Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", and they can get a piece of wine. was made by Gu Yong like this, and this sentence instantly became the most well-known and widely circulated famous sentence of the year.

On the Southern Xiongnu side, several famous kings and captains were also sent to identify and observe. Although the head of Zhizhi has undergone special treatment such as pickling and freezing, after all, after half a year, it has been somewhat deformed and shrunk. However, with that fake black gold ring, there is no doubt about it. It is said that after confirming the news, Hu Han Yeshan was "both happy and afraid", and the Han became more deferential, and because of this, he germinated the idea of further relations with the Han Dynasty......

At the end of March, Zhang Fang, who was about to return after the end of the mourning period, received a handwritten letter from Yu Tian sent by Du Xun, listing the above results and the dynamics of the government and the opposition in detail.

Facing Du Xun, who was grateful and couldn't kneel for a long time, Zhang Fang slapped the silk book in his hand lightly on his palm, revealing a long-lost smile: "This is the best gift I received on the day of my funeral." (To be continued.) )
