8. Listen to the ancient and modern sounds of cold water
Han Wangan was very impressed by Wei Zun.
As a modern person, I have always felt that the emperor's qi is blown blindly, and today I met Han Wang'an and realized that there is really this kind of "qi" in the world.
Plain and simple and majestic and domineering, sitting in the middle hall without smiling, the waist is straight like the backbone of the country, not collapsing or bending.
Every move, even if it is just a sleeve can lift a person's heartstrings, as if the light of the world is gathered on him, shining on the world and piercing people's eyes.
And in contrast to that is the responsibility on his shoulders.
The bamboo slips that are enough to bury people, each piece is related to the livelihood of the people.
With a shake of the hand, whether it is accurate or not, hundreds of people will suffer or enjoy happiness.
Wei Zun thought about it, if he sat in that position, with the psychological capacity of our little people, he would definitely not be able to stand it, and it was the norm to be anxious, full of mouth sores, red and swollen eyes, erosion at the corners of the mouth, toothache, and sore throat...... It's on fire.
Even if you are not killed by pressure, life will not be easy, and you will not dare to relax at all.
Probably only the supreme right can balance this kind of effort.
Thinking in his heart, he followed Yan Dan out of Weiyang Palace, and then he felt depressed in his heart.
The snow melted, the sun was warm, Wei Zun carried his robe, afraid that the snow on the ground would stain his clothes.
The city wall in front of the palace gate looks like an ancient and heavy beast squeezing sweat, and the snow on the wall melts and flows down the city wall, which is very spectacular.
"Are you sure about this trip to Haimin?" Yan Dan seemed a little preoccupied, and he was under a lot of pressure to take over the country's plan for the first time.
If ten ships go to sea, but none of them come back, and the whole army is destroyed, then he will leave an impression in the hearts of the emperor and his ministers that he is incompetent, and his prestige and image will be damaged.
Wei Zun pretended to ponder, and only said after a while: "Be sure, I'll go to Haimin, and you will prepare silk and other items for going to sea." ”
"Okay, I really didn't recognize your brother in vain. Yan Danxi smiled, patted Wei Zun's shoulder, saw that he was so calm, relieved, and said, "Before going to Haimin, arrange Zhang Qian to go to the Western Regions." ”
"Well, I have a few words to tell him. ”
Back in the palace, Zhang Qian had already sobered up from a drunken state, but the ancients did not say goodbye without saying goodbye, and when they saw Yan Dan enter the door, the first thing he knelt down to.
"Zhang Qian lost his temper yesterday and disturbed His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was guilty. ”
"Hurry up, don't be so outside. Yan Dan helped him up, sat down on the futon, knelt opposite him, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Qian in person, and made a gesture of please, so that he was sincerely afraid before asking: "What do you think of the situation in our Korea?"
"What?" Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment when asked, but he was well-informed and had his own opinions.
Looking at the steaming tea in his hand, thinking of Yan Dan's courtesies yesterday and today, Zhang Qian's heart was hot, knowing that the future emperor was going to take the exam for himself.
He simply let go and said: "My Korea is strong, and after the cultivation and recuperation of the king and the first emperor, the strength of the country has been restored, and the people have become rich, but the situation is not stable. I have been to almost all the small countries around, so I don't have to worry about it, but the Qin State in the north is a big trouble, and it often invades, and I regard Korea as a granary, which is really hateful. ”
"Then how can we in Korea stop the atrocities of the Qin State?" Yan Dan asked quietly.
"This ......" Zhang Qian hesitated, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his mouth was bitter, and his voice was low: "For the time being, I can only kiss." ”
"Do you want to be close for a lifetime?" Yan Dan asked lightly, and when he saw Zhang Qian kneeling again, he preemptively said: "Wei Zun and I just came back from our father's emperor and wanted to send someone to the Western Regions to find seeds of grain, fruits, and vegetables, do you think you can do it?"
"Go to the Western Regions?" Zhang Qian was stunned and didn't dare to speak.
He began to travel around Korea at the age of thirteen, went abroad at the age of fifteen, and traveled all the countries around Korea at the age of twenty, but did not go west.
Because if you want to go to the west, you have to pass through the territory of Qin, the Qin people and the Koreans are feuding, the grassland is vast, there are no obstacles in Pingchuan, and if you are caught, you will either be a slave or killed, I don't think my life is long......
Looking at Yan Dan's meaning now, he is about falling in love with himself.
But our lives are too worthless, right, don't put your head on your belt, just to find something to eat?
Seeing that Zhang Qian didn't respond, Yan Dan and Wei Zun glanced at each other, knowing that in Zhang Qian's eyes, it was a bit unreasonable to let him risk his life to find food.
Yan Dan: "In addition to looking for food, I have two more missions for you. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please. Zhang Qian kowtowed on all fours.
"One, I want to unite the Dayue Clan to attack the Qin State, as an envoy, you are responsible for the livelihood of the 36 million people of Korea, whether you can wipe out the Qin State, you are very important. Second, you have to go and see more, write down what you have seen and heard in the Western Regions, figure out the territory of the Qin people, and prepare for the attack on Qin. ”
At this moment, the young Yan Dan was ambitious and sharp.
Only as an emperor, as a future emperor, will he know how much of a shame it is to be close to him.
To put it bluntly, it is Han who sells his children to survive.
Before, he also found a few palace maids to pretend to be relatives, but recently, Qin Guoren has become arrogant, and directly put several of Han Wangan's daughters on the list of relatives.
These are all their own sisters and sisters, marrying those dirt buns to drift, wandering, and living the life of savages...... It is said that when Lao Tzu dies, his son can marry his mother, Yan Dan thinks, what is the difference between this and beasts?
Since the establishment of Korea, it has been close for a hundred years, and until now, the people of Qin have recognized that Korea is a sheep and Qin is a wolf, how can sheep and wolves coexist peacefully?
The people of Qin are nomadic economy, to put it bluntly, "robbery is the main business, nomadism is a sideline", as long as they can rob, they will never herd sheep.
Last time he sent the princess with his relatives, Han Wangan asked the ministers, can the Qin State be raised?
The ministers all said they could......
Because the people of the Qin State didn't kill their son, they didn't kill their daughter, and they didn't need to pay for it, and it didn't matter to them, anyway, it didn't hurt my interests, and I didn't care if I sold your girl.
There are also people who can make a fortune in the name of harmony.
Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing as someone who would do a few articles about Our Lady in the name of unity, fight for fame and get an official position?
But Yan Dan knew that he couldn't do this, being the eighth turtle king was a trivial matter, and he knew very well in his heart that if he raised the Qin State for another fifty years, Dahan would really become a sheep and would lose the country.
The emperors of the Han Dynasty were well aware of this, and from Emperor Wen and Han Wang An, both engaged in the construction of horse administration, encouraged the counties and the people to raise horses, and the official also raised horses, and now there are 400,000 military horses.
What do you do with so many horses?
It was to prepare for the fight against the Qin State.
Zhang Qian, who didn't care about it, listened to Yan Dan's two missions, and suddenly shouldered the safety of the people of Korea, this responsibility, this honor, and this attention, even if it was Wei Zun at this moment, if it was for me to send an envoy to the Western Regions, I probably wouldn't be able to refuse.
"Zhang Qian will live up to his mission. "The blood of the heart is like the waves of the sea, the face is flushed, the chest rises and falls, and there is a loud voice.
"Okay, well, your loyalty to Dahan can be seen in the world, the sun and the moon can be heard, I hope you have a smooth trip and return safely. Go home, settle the affairs of the family, and in three days your father will give you a scepter. After a pause, he commanded, "If anyone asks you, they only say that they are going to the Western Regions to look for seeds." ”
"Wow. I understand. Zhang Qian kowtowed.
Watching this tall Han Zi leave, Wei Zun was also a little uneasy in his heart, he went to the Western Regions five years earlier than recorded in history, and he didn't know if you could come back alive.
