Chapter 9 Vertical and Horizontal East

Emperor Wai adopted Wei Man's suggestion, sent envoys to the whole world, in the name of the orthodox 42nd emperor of the Jizi royal court, brought greetings from the eight continents of the northern part of the country, and talked about being close to the Western Regions and the herdsmen, the people of the desert are the closest descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and they were educated by Emperor Shun and were Chinese, so they invited alliances to the whole world. The envoys from all walks of life hurried to the west, visiting Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Wusun, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Khotan, Ruoqiang, Jingjue, Loulan, Moshan, Jimo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Sumi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shule, Shache, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, Wu Greed, Beiluhou, Shan Huan, Pu, Pu, Xiyi, Dongyi, Zhengguo, Huhu, Shanguo, Cheshiqian, Cheshihou, Cheshihou, Cheshihouchengguo, Dawan, Anxi, Dayueshi, Kangju, Kokand, Kanjuti, Jibin, Wuyi Shanli and other countries, and some envoys turned to the West Sea and Nanyang, and visited Qiang, Dian, Yueshang, Annam, Funan, Ailao, Dunxun, Linyang, Linyi and other countries, especially to Qiang gave special courtesy, because they are the closest descendants of Emperor Yan, and they worship Gonggong as their modern ancestors.

Jizi Royal Court is an ancient royal court with a long history, even in the Han Dynasty era, still has an ancient charm, before many ethnic groups were not formed, the sacred Jizi Royal Court already existed, many people have been fascinated by the name of the Jizi Royal Court since childhood, deeply yearning, when the public countries received the will of the invitation to the alliance, they all felt very honored, that the envoy of the Jizi Royal Court came to the country is an honor, the Mourning Emperor won the center of the world again with the charm of the royal court, of course, only a few countries are unwilling to build an alliance, Some are afraid of the Liu regime, which has always had plans to colonize the Western Regions, and some are afraid of directing the attention of the Liu regime to the South Seas.

The Emperor received such a reply from the Resting Country: The Resting People received the Emperor's holy will, and the whole country was overjoyed, although they were far away from the royal court, but their hearts were together.

Emperor Mourning gathered all the ministers and monarchs of the Void North, and said happily: "Even the remote and powerful Sabbath country is willing to form an alliance with us, and we must consolidate our influence, prosper industry and commerce, and use barter as a link!" "Under the initiative of Emperor Mourning, Xubei vigorously developed production and was very prosperous.

But the Emperor of Mourning has always been obsessed with one thing, that is, the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Maodun once said to the envoy of the Emperor of Mourning: "The border of the Xiongnu is endless to the north, so huge, there is no need to form an alliance with anyone!" In the eyes of the Huns, there is no need to follow any lineage! "Emperor Wai once gathered the ministers to discuss this matter, and the ministers all advised the Emperor to mourn that the Xiongnu was determined to be in the Liu family's regime, which was beneficial to us, and it was inconvenient to provoke him.

Emperor Mourning visited the western realm, Wei Man said: "Emperor, the reason why the Huns have this attitude, must be the meaning of Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, I have been loyal to Yandi, I know its people very well, he doesn't want to be the only one among the ethnic groups, this person is a dragon, and he will definitely help the Huns enter the Shenzhou!" Emperor Wai asked, "What advice does the old Qing family have?" Wei Man said: "The Wuhuan people in the Wuhuan area are gradually prospering, the royal court can vigorously support them, and the barter exchange with the Western Regions is also handed over to them to do, and Wuhuan will form a market center, in the past, Donghu and the royal court joined forces to defend the Xubei, blocking the Yan ** team, very related, this time we let Wuhuan grow stronger, to contain the Xiongnu." After hearing this, the mourning emperor praised Wei Man's good strategy.

Xiping and Wei Meng sent a report from Bazhou, saying that a group of mountain people appeared in Bazhou, often gathered into an army, armed with stone axes and sharp weapons, killed down the mountain, robbed the people of the towns, and fought several times with the army of the Emperor of Shenwu. Emperor Mourning gathered his ministers and said: "Bazhou is located on the East China Sea, although it is barren, but it has always been a vast area, and it is difficult for General Shenwu and General Shengong to govern completely, and there are many islands!" Taishi said: "Why don't you send a character like Shuqing over!" The Emperor Wai shook his head and said, "I'm going to send God over!" When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised. Emperor Wai laughed: "Send down the order and let Shenwu General Xi Ping build the colossus of the god Xu Fu in Bazhou, as well as the colossus of Meng, the son of the sun god." Let the people of Bazhou under Amaterasu find their own faith and restore the old ancient folk customs! ”

Xi Ping of Bazhou received the will of the mourning emperor, frowned, and said to himself: "Bazhou is poor, where is there still the people to build a colossus!" Wei Meng said on the side: "General Shenwu, this must be cultivated, and three colossi must be repaired!" Xi Ping said: "Why is there another one?" Wei Meng said with a smile: "This third cultivator is the Emperor of Mourning, he is the Emperor of Shenwu, the descendant of the son of the sun god under the sun, crisscrossing the east and west poles, with him, you can drink back the Diao people!" Xi Ping sighed: "Then catch the people and the evil people to participate in the construction, and go to all directions, collect some slaves, and after the completion of the construction, they will all be meritorious and enjoy freedom!" ”

Before the start of construction, the craftsmen of Bazhou were poor, and in desperation, they were busy sending people back to the Mahan tribe to collect craftsmen, after the announcement of General Shenwu's notice, no one signed up at all, and the people felt that the place in Bazhou was a barren and barbaric place, and the Japanese people were rampant, and they did not dare to take risks easily even under the heavy reward. As a result, in the neighboring royal court, they were all met with the same cold reception.

After the Emperor Mourning knew about the fact that he couldn't find the craftsman, he was unhappy with the ministers: "The people are afraid of the land of the eight continents, because they feel that the emperor is incompetent!" Taibao said: "Emperor, you can forcibly arrest some craftsmen!" Emperor Wai said angrily: "You mediocre talent, my Emperor Wai is the emperor of divine martial arts, I don't go on an expedition, but oppress my own people, where is the emperor's grace, where is the honor, do you want the royal court to be destroyed!" Taibao didn't dare to speak. Taifu said: "Among the giant elephants cultivated in the eight continents this time, there are Mongolian giant elephants, why don't you ask the Taoist people of the temple to help and tell them that the royal court is not to repair the palace, but to spread the teachings of Meng!" The mourning emperor praised: "Wonderful, there is Mrs. Lao!" ”

So, the Taoists were summoned, led thousands of believers straight to Bazhou Tsushima, General Shenwu organized labor cooperation, and soon repaired the colossus of Meng, then the colossus of the Mourning Emperor, and finally the colossus of the god Xu Fu.

These three colossal statues, tall and majestic, towering into the clouds, every morning, the sun seems to rise behind them, very surprised, a transcendent sacredness arises spontaneously, the Taoist told the people of Bazhou, these are saints, should obey their teachings, some people in Bazhou like to marry in groups, Taoists tell them to inherit clearly in the maternal or paternal line, and not **.

Three colossus towns in Bazhou, get the local people to come to observe, all shocked, kneeling up from afar, there are still some people in Bazhou who still inherit the education of Emperor Shun, seeing the situation of Bazhou, sighing, "As long as the great emperor of Shenwu is here, Bazhou can restore the previous humanistic style!" ”

When Emperor Mourning knew that the colossus was completed, praised General Shenwu for his ability to do things, and was about to give a reward, the courtiers in the court reported: "Emperor, I'm afraid that what will be rewarded now, that Shenwu General will not be rare!" The Emperor of Mourning asked, "Why is that?" The courtier said: "Now the Mahan tribe where General Shenwu is located is very rich, those people are good at communicating and doing business, the things of the eight continents will be sold to the South Seas by them, and the things in the Western Regions will be resold by them to the Void North, and the merchants of Shenzhou also like to remove restrictions, cross the Great Wall, and take the initiative to barter with them, it is said that the people of the Mahan tribe have bowls and chopsticks made of gold, and they also use gold cups for drinking!" After hearing this, the mourning emperor said angrily: "Pull this courtier out and behead him, my mourning emperor rewards honor, isn't honor better than gold and silver!" The guards on the left and right broke in, dragged this courtier out, and the head fell to the ground.

When the people in the Mahan region learned about this, they all had a kind of fear, and the old patriarch hurriedly wrote to General Shenwu. After Xi Ping saw it, he sighed to himself: "Ma Han's wealth can buy Xubei, and I control half of the military and government of Bazhou, if the emperor doesn't say anything, Ma Han will become his worry sooner or later, and the Chen country to which I belonged before Ma Han is not the proud monarch and perished under the anger of the emperor!" Thinking of this, he wrote back to the old patriarch, suggesting that he take the initiative to pay tribute and praise the virtues of the royal court. Xi Ping avoided talking about this matter to Wei Meng, who often met, because Xi Ping knew that the Wei family had also encountered the suspicion of the Mourning Emperor, although Xi Ping knew that Ma Han was absolutely loyal, but he couldn't figure out the Wei family, and people's hearts were separated from each other.

Ma Hanbu set off from the coast of the East China Sea and transported tributes all the way to Wang Jiancheng. When the mourning emperor received the gift list, he was very happy, and praised again and again: "The people of Mahan are industrious and simple, and they deserve to be rich. Emperor Wai thought for a while and said: "The ancestors of Ma Han Yi migrated from the ancient city of Buyeo, although it has been a long time, but it has not insulted the glory of Buyeo, and now the emperor gave Ma Han a surname - Buyeo!" This surname is available in every household. The Shenwu general, who was far away in Bazhou, was promoted to the Fuso Shenwu Temple War King! Ma Han heard that all of them cheered, and they swaggered back to their hometown, and they won honor and respect.
