Zhao Hui is the first time to come to Chang'an, when he passed through Luoyang, he was shocked by the magnificence of Luoyang, thinking that the majesty of the city in the world is nothing more than this. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now sees the majesty and magnificence of Chang'an, and knows that he is a blind man touching an elephant, and he is lonely and unheard.

Although Luoyang has a transcendent status as a companion capital, it is indeed inferior to Chang'an, and the majestic pattern is even more general.

Zhao Hui was speechless in amazement!

Du He smiled meaningfully: "The first time I look at Chang'an, anyone will have a feeling of contempt. Especially after you have an in-depth understanding of my Datang culture, this is especially true. ”

Zhao Hui was silent for a long time before he nodded in agreement: "The general said this, and the heart of the last general has left." Only by having an in-depth understanding of Datang can we appreciate the greatness of Datang. I finally understand why my father will never forget my Huaxia, with such a great cultural heritage, he is deeply proud of being a Chinese, even if he is in a foreign land, even if he dies in a foreign land, he will not forget his roots. I'm also proud that I'm a Chinese and a Tang person......"

When he said this, his eyes were full of yearning.

Du He smiled knowingly, and the mustard in his heart had been released. He knows very well that although Zhao Hui, who grew up in India, has Han parents, he does not have any special feelings for Datang. Even if there is, it is the Great Sui Dynasty that his father never forgets. He agreed to join the Tang Dynasty and serve the Tang Dynasty, the purpose was very simple, just to be able to survive in this country, and there was no question of loyalty or disloyalty.

But now it is different, after an in-depth understanding of the Tang Dynasty and the long-standing culture of China, Zhao Hui feels the pride of the Chinese people, feels the prestige of the Tang Dynasty that stands with the world, and is proud of being a Chinese person and a proud person of the Tang Dynasty.

This is what Du He is most willing to see, with this kind of "patriotic" thinking, Zhao Huizi will spare no effort to serve Datang.

took him to the Imperial Palace, the majesty of Taiji Palace, the architectural group that swallowed the world, once again left an indelible impression on Zhao Hui.

Du He led Zhao back into the palace.

Li Shimin was waiting for them in the Chengqing Palace, Zhao Hui did not get publicity, and he could not enter the palace for the time being, and only Du He entered the palace first.

Du He showed the recent situation of Jiangnan to Li Shimin one by one, and made a comparison between the original Jiangnan and the current Jiangnan, the rapid development of Jiangnan is already clear at a glance.

Li Shimin flipped through the Jiangnan observations recorded by Du He, listened to the introduction in his ears, and said with a smile: "This Liu Renliang's achievements can be beyond my expectations, this person will definitely be a talent to be created if he is trained!" ”

"There is also the history of Guangzhou Thorn!" Du He stayed in Suzhou for a while, and also went down to Guangzhou, for Li Shimin's knowledge and employment, sincere respect, Liu Renliang needless to say, the history of Guangzhou is called Yu Wenhao, not a famous figure in history, but there is extraordinary talent, Guangzhou is also thriving under his governance, perhaps not as good as Liu Renliang, but also a rare virtuous minister, "Yu Wenhao is also a rare talent to govern the world, Guangzhou has changed greatly, and the local people say that Yu Wenhao is a virtuous and virtuous official!" ”

Li Shimin also had a smile on his face and said: "This Yu Wenhao is the leader of the ten-year imperial examination, perhaps because he was born poor and knows the suffering of the people. A few years ago, when King Jing Yuanjing went out hunting, the horses ran out of control and rushed into the fields and trampled on the people's crops. This Yu Wenhao was just a small Taishou at the time, but he found King Jing for this and asked him to compensate. King Jing didn't obey his good face, so he directly sued King Jing in front of me, and his words were fierce. In the letter, he also threatened me that if I did not give the people an explanation, he would resign from his official position, saying that he would not want to serve me, the emperor who bent the law for personal gain. I was really angry at the time, but then I thought about it and felt that this person's heart that was not afraid of power, cared about the people, and cared about the people was too rare. also noticed him and kept promoting. In just ten years, he has grown into a useful talent in my Datang. ”

Du He heard the reason, and was faintly moved, I didn't think that this is still the story, Yu Wenhao can stand up for the people without fear of power, which is worthy of admiration, but Li Shimin's knowledge of people and his mind of accepting all rivers are even more worthy of admiration. It's amazing to be an emperor like this.

Du He also mentioned Zhao Hui and told him the news that the Datang Expeditionary Army could go to sea.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately met with Zhao Hui, had a conversation with him, recognized his talent, and decided to start the development of the Maritime Silk Road on the same day.

Du He proposed: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law thinks that he should also send a diplomatic team to sail with them to maximize efficiency. ”

Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "I also have this heart, since the virtuous son-in-law proposed the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am also very concerned about this matter, after a period of screening, there have been many talents who can speak well. They are enough to take on this important task, so I will send Li Yi as the chief envoy and Wang Xuance as the deputy envoy to accompany the fleet overseas. ”

Wang Xuance!?

Du He's eyes widened, shocked!

Cow man!

There were many cattle in the history of the early Tang Dynasty, such as Xue Rengui, who set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows and took off his hat to retreat from all enemies, Xi Junmai, who broke through the army of 100 horses, and then Wang Xuance, who was known as the most bullish diplomat in history, destroyed a country with one mouth.

I remember that in the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong ordered Wang Xuance as the chief envoy and Jiang Shiren as the deputy envoy and a group of 30 people to the Western Regions, with three purposes: First, to send an envoy to India. The second is to pay a visit to Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tibet, and be good-neighborly and friendly. The third is to look at Princess Wencheng. But there were no satellites at that time, and the information was not well-informed. Tianzhu's Asanmen launched a civil strife, and the new king of the throne, Luo Shunna, heard that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had entered, and sent 2,000 men and horses to ambush them halfway, except for Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren, all of whom were killed, and the two were captured. But then Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren took the opportunity to escape, and swore to exterminate Tianzhu in the sky, and they were ashamed of the killing of the envoy of the Snow Dynasty!

So this benevolent brother crossed the Gandes River and the Sindurtan Plain, and arrived in Nepal, I don't know what means he used, but borrowed 7,000 cavalry from the king of Nepal, and then as a special envoy called for the help of the major Tang vassal states in the vicinity, and Songtsen Gampo of Tibet also sent 1,200 elite cavalry to help.

Wang Xuance gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time, appointed himself as the commander-in-chief, and waved his army straight to Tianzhu. Outside Chabo and Luocheng, he used the "Fire Bull Array" to defeat tens of thousands of Indian troops, and after more than a month, he broke Chabo and Luocheng, and chased and killed Aroshuna all the way. Tens of thousands of Indian soldiers were killed from north to south, tens of thousands of prisoners were captured, and Tianzhu was pacified with thousands of borrowed miscellaneous troops, forcing the corpse of Tianzhu to be frightened, and he was busy sending tens of thousands of cattle and horses, bows and knives, and a number of treasures, and apologized to the Tang Dynasty and expressed his submission to the Tang Empire.

An envoy with a non-military professional background, a diplomat with no roots abroad, with one mouth, can accomplish such a feat. It is indeed a miracle in the history of the world.

Every time Du He reads this history, he can't help but pay great respect to this benevolent brother, and when he hears his name, he is also moved.

Li Shimin looked at Du He in surprise.

Du He said with a smile: "Actually, the son-in-law thinks that it is more appropriate to let Wang Xuance be the official history and Li Yi as the deputy!" ”

Li Shimin gave him a blank look: "Nonsense, although Wang Xuance is talented, he is only in his thirties, how can he take on the important task of being a positive envoy?" Moreover, Li Yi, as the head of Weiwei Temple, is one of the ministers with extremely high qualifications in the Tang Dynasty, how can he be Wang Xuance's deputy. ”

Du He smiled suddenly, and knew that he was affected by Wang Xuance's fame, and he did talk nonsense, but he still took a fancy to this cowman.

The next day, Li Shimin was canonized as Zhao Huiyun's cavalry captain, and ordered Li Yi and Wang Xuance to be the chief and deputy diplomatic envoys of the Tang Dynasty to visit the countries by sea.

Du He also saw Wang Xuance, a bull man, he was a little unattractive, his facial features were not outstanding, and he looked like a passer-by on the street at a glance, it was hard to imagine that such an ordinary person had such ability. It is a reflection of the sentence "People should not be disguised!" ”

For Zhao Hui's route to open up the Maritime Silk Road, Du He still interfered, because the success of this first operation is really huge, he doesn't want to be tongue-in, let alone dispel Datang's idea of opening up the Maritime Silk Road because of the first failure.

The navigation route in Zhao Hui's mind is across the entire Pacific Ocean, which is too far away and does not meet the current needs of Datang.

Therefore, it was not the best route in Duhe's mind, remembering the shape of the world map, and knowing that the key to opening up the Maritime Silk Road was in the southwest, not the Pacific Ocean in the east.

As long as the expeditionary army of the Tang Dynasty can find the Strait of Malacca, through the Strait of Malacca, they will be greeted by a new world, Rome, Dashi, Tianzhu and Egypt and other ancient civilizations are in that area, as long as this route is opened, and these ancient countries to establish maritime commercial routes, it also means the success of the Maritime Silk Road. Because the first maritime Silk Road in history was eaten to Yangzhou, this maritime Silk Road has influenced the history of thousands of years.

He drew the map that he vaguely remembered in his mind to Zhao Hui, although there were many places that were not clear, but the general direction would not be wrong, as long as Zhao Hui could sail in the general direction and be flexible, he would not take the wrong route.

Zhao Hui was also very convinced of Du He, he knew the preciousness of a map on the sea, took it with both hands, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Zhao Hui's distant figure, Du He had a hunch that his departure would open a new era in Datang's navigation career.

As the wedding date approached, Du He finally got a respite from his busy business and began to prepare for the wedding with Wu Meiniang.

Just when the wedding date was approaching, the long-lost Erwu reappeared in Chang'an City, and the two were no longer beggars, neatly dressed, bright and gorgeous, and quite stylish.
