144 BC.

Zhang Qian selected 100 warriors, with the father of the Qin State as the guide, and was commissioned by the emperor to lead the Han Festival Scepter and will send an envoy to the Western Regions.

Han Wang An went out of the gate of Weiyang Palace to send him off.

"Zhang Qian, I pin my hopes on you, this mission to the Western Regions is related to the well-being of the people, and this road to breaking the wilderness is difficult, but you must show my great Korean prestige outside, and you must have the bearing of a great country in everything, and don't let the countries of the Western Regions underestimate my Korea. ”

"Minister, take the order. Zhang Qian knelt at the foot of the steps, making a loud noise.

"Go ahead. Han Wangan waved his sleeves and watched Zhang Qian get on the horse with the festival, and his figure gradually moved away. I know in my heart that as the successor of Dahan, Yan Dan must not just look for seeds.

But it was done a little early.

The internal and external troubles of Dahan have not been cleared, the king of Liang is not dead, the princes from all over the country are eyeing each other, and there are many people among the courtiers who have the ability to threaten the status of the crown prince.

"It's not good to be anxious for quick success, it seems that you have to press through for a few years, and it is good to stabilize your temperament. Han Wangan thought so.

At this moment, Wei Zun watched the mighty and distant procession in the crowd, and the horses' hooves walked through the slightly muddy snow and water, leaving a series of long, distant footprints.

Wei Zun himself is also ready to travel thousands of miles to find the sea people and eat the bitter fruits of what he said.

If you want to find the people of the sea, you must go to the coastal place, there is the territory of the four feudal kings of Wu, Chu, Qiyan, and Yan.

After the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, most of the defeated vassal states were abolished and brought under the emperor's rule, but those places were very chaotic, and the local powerful and noble clans were entrenched, and the officials sent from Chang'an were in trouble, and the emperor's orders were not necessarily easy to use here.

Wei Zun thought about it, in fact, it was better to find the officials of Dahan than to find the princes.

Only An Pingjun did not participate in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and he was the only one who was not cut down.

The lack of courage to participate in the war of the kings shows that this vassal king is still very afraid of the emperor, and the decree of the imperial court is best here.

The fief of King Yan is located in Liao*Ning, around the Bohai Sea, and the most important thing is probably the fishermen.

Wei Zun has no friends in Chang'an City, except for Yan Dan, there is nothing to be nostalgic for, with the emperor's edict, with two Yandi-born Northern Army soldiers beside him, riding horses to experience the freshness, followed by the carriage, and it was so bumpy on the road.

If you want to talk about horseback riding, in fact, Wei Zun really can't, but during this time, he has confirmed that he has Hu blood, and he is naturally close to horses, plus the former owner of this body is about a master of horseback riding, so he can come easily.

It's just that this horse is too aggrieved to ride, and the single stirrup, after sitting up, is like riding a wooden donkey, the feet are fluttering, and there is nowhere to exert strength, so you can only rely on grasping the reins or horse's mane, and then use the strength of the legs to clamp the horse's belly to balance the body.

At this time, if the horse riding master is placed in the future generations, he will probably win an Olympic championship and play.

There is no saddle except stirrups, and if the horse runs faster, it will be bumpy, and if the tail bone does not hurt to death, it will have to make the two eggs panic.

There is no horseshoe, but this thing not only protects the horse's hooves, but also keeps the horse's hooves firmly on the ground, which is good for riding and driving.

Back in this Korea, Wei Zun suddenly found that he could really be an immortal, knowledge and insight were the greatest spells, and he could change the dynasty and change the country by inventing something casually.

But so far, he's not going to make stirrups or anything like that.

One is laziness.

The second is that it is not about oneself.

The third is that I don't have much sense of identity with Korea, as if I suddenly came to a strange world, in addition to being cautious, most of the time in the face of a novel environment is the mentality of the game world.

Thinking so, I suddenly lost interest in horseback riding.

He twisted twice on the horse's back, jumped off with his left foot in the stirrup, picked up his robe and went straight to the carriage behind him, in exchange for the faint disdain of the two soldiers.

The two of them glanced at each other immediately, and they both pouted their lips with disdain, thinking that this Yan Chunjun was a young warrior, but they didn't expect that it was just for show, and it was revealed before they left Chang'an City.

I thought so in my heart, but I definitely didn't dare to show it in front of Wei Zun, Dahan was strictly hierarchical, and the children of the princes were born superior, which was the glory that their fathers fought with their blood and lives.

Along the Shangjun Road, the Chi Road built by the Qin Dynasty is still good in Korea, and it can go directly from Chang'an to the fief of King Yan.

There was an endless stream of people on the road, but most of them were in withered clothes, their faces were miserable, they were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and they walked far away on both sides of the road, looking away from the center, which was the emperor's special lane.

Seeing Wei Zun's luxury carriage driving by, dusty, the people did not have envy in their eyes, and they didn't even dare to take a second look, there was only awe in their eyes, and the dignity and humility were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The time of rushing is very boring, and before you know it, the sunset leaves a long shadow, and the afterglow dyes the corners of the sky red, and the sky and wheat waves blend together, immersing the earth in the warm red glow.

"Yan Chunjun, it's not too early, we have to find a stable to stay overnight. ”

The coachman was keenly aware that the carriage was shaking, it was Wei Zun moving his body, and he didn't dare to lift the curtain to see if people had woken up, so he could only turn around and shout cautiously.

"You can do it. Wei Zun yawned and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

In Korea, there is a rule that the sun rises and the sun rests, and the curfew is the norm, and it is a felony to go out at night, and traffic must be cut off.

When the coachman got the word, he immediately drove out of the road and headed for the stable [post station] not far from the roadside.

The blue-gray building, the roof is like a fish-scale hat, and the corners are upturned.

The owner of the stable is an old man, the hair tied up is black and white, meticulously soaked, the whole person looks very energetic, has the temperament of a soldier, and the hairpin that binds his hair is also tied with a delicate ribbon made of silk, indicating that he has a knighthood and is a third-level hairpin.

Dahan followed the Qin Dynasty's twentieth rank system, but it was much easier to obtain titles than those of the Qin Dynasty.

Since Han Wang'an adopted Chao's wrong opinion and implemented the policy of the millet standard, he could exchange millet for a knighthood, seek an official position, and be exempted from criminal punishment, even if he was an ordinary farmer, as long as he was diligent, there were no natural disasters, and the grain harvest was good, he could change to a duke title in ten years.

In addition, Han Wangan likes to play the game of "appreciating the people at the first level" when he encounters happy things, so the gold content of the title below the fifth level in Korea is not high, but it is fortunate that he is out of the identity of a commoner.

The old man saw that the carriage was gorgeous, and the hanbok brocade robe came, and he did not grovel, but just blocked the door and swept everyone one by one, and asked, "Is there a message?"

Hearing this, the two soldiers and the coachman took out a wooden sign from the middle of their collars and handed it over, which recorded the mission and identity information of this trip, and had the seal of the imperial doctor.

When it was Wei Zun's turn, he instructed the coachman, "Help me get it in the car." ”

"Wow. The coachman took two steps and took out a wooden halberd from the carriage, with a silk letter hanging from the top, which looked like a emblem.

When the stable owner saw this thing, he immediately bent down and looked at it respectfully.

This thing is called 棨 [qǐ], which is a special pass for the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials, and it can not only be eaten and drunk for nothing at the public post station, but also can be requisitioned to travel in a carriage in the stable.

It was getting dark, and there were already a lot of people resting in the stables, most of them were officials who had been promoted and transferred from all over the country and officials who passed by here on business.

Seeing Wei Zun enter the door, the people in the stable collectively quieted down, and only dared to glance at the scepter-shaped scepter from the corner of their eyes, and they each ate quietly.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became cold, Wei Zun was a little embarrassed, and he also found that the little officials in this stable were afraid of themselves like tigers, and because of their eyes, a little official actually instinctively shrunk his neck, what's the matter, I can die at a glance?

However, this majesty is really cool......

"Do you need a separate room?" the stable master stretched out his hand to invite Wei Zun to enter the door, bending down and asking respectfully.

There is a room specially reserved for dignitaries in the stable, the service level is different, and the food is not the same, Wei Zun of course wants to be good, but he likes to be lively, "I want a separate room, but the meal is here." ”

"Wow. The owner of the stable agreed, and obviously saw the special habits of the "adults".

Find a mat and desk that looks fairly clean, put it aside, arrange your robe, and sit on your knees on the mat.

The two soldiers and the coachman who accompanied him did not share the table with Wei Zun, probably because they did not feel that they were qualified.

Seeing him eating outside, the people in the stable were even more depressed, and they didn't dare to come out, and a small official quickly finished the meal, came over to salute Wei Zun, and then walked to the backyard without saying a word. I will not offend you, nor will I ignore you.

Wei Zun was a little speechless, damn, I finally left Chang'an, got rid of Yan Dan's oil bottle, and went to this stable to experience the atmosphere of braggart and fart in my previous life, so as to remember modern life, but this didn't work out?

"If you eat yours, it will be as if I do not exist, and it does not matter if you say the wrong thing, forgive you for your innocence. ”

The slightly immature words came out of Wei Zun's mouth, and they clearly echoed in the stable, suffocating the oppressive atmosphere, as if boiling water was extremely frozen in the air, and then gradually melted.

I don't know who opened the mouth first, and in just half a minute, the voices of people discussing went from whispering to a slightly cautious normal conversation, driving away the awkward atmosphere in the stable.

Wei Zun showed some smiles on his face, this is right, otherwise Lao Tzu would feel uncomfortable eating a meal, how unpleasant it is, but he also knows why these people dare not speak.

Korea followed the pre-Qin law, and the law was quite harsh, and even the sitting law has not been abolished until now.

Publishing strange theories is inappropriate to say, everyone is different, and they will commit leftist crimes and implicate a family.

Usually everyone eats together, and it's okay to talk nonsense with like-minded friends, but once you are in public, you must be absolutely cautious, and you can only say something innocuous and trivial.

If there are elders or high-ranking officials present, it is best not to speak, for fear of offending others, and for fear of having no hair on the mouth......

The best meat in this remote stable is only dog meat, the stable owner didn't ask, and directly served it, Wei Zun was not interested in this thing, frowned and smelled the smell, he really couldn't get out of his mouth, and the stable owner was terrified.

If you don't eat dog meat, do you want to eat mutton and beef?

If you bring a pot of dog meat to the emperor, it will be an insult to others, what can you do?

The stablemaster's heart was trembling, Wei Zun waved a dogy smell in front of his nose, waved his hand with a little disgust, and said, "Share it with everyone." ”

"Huh?" the stable owner was stunned, hesitated and didn't move, it seems that there is no one here who is qualified to eat dog meat, "this ......"

Wei Zun: "I'll reward you." ”

"Wow. He bowed his head in response.

When the people around them heard this, they all made a move, got up, straightened their clothes, bowed their heads, and saluted respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Lord for the reward." ”

"Okay, okay, let's all sit down and eat. "Wei Zun is very annoyed by this.

"Wow. Responded in unison.

There is dog meat to eat, coupled with Wei Zun is so kind, the atmosphere of everyone eating is different, and they are not greedy for dog meat, so they roll up their sleeves and chew it heavily, which makes the slightly cool stable hot, and many people talk about what they have seen and heard.

I didn't dare to talk about Chang'an's affairs, and I didn't dare to talk about royal affairs, so I could only talk about my own affairs, which made Wei Zun laugh.

"What's your name, big brother?"

"My name is Cang. ”

"Oh, then we're a family, my name is Ku!"

"......" The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Compared with other countries, Korea is very good, so that the people's life is relatively comfortable, and many small officials with low official positions are reluctant to seek promotion and do not want to leave their hometowns because of their good lives.

Some people always do an official position, the time is too long, the people only remember his official name, do not know what his surname is, plus many people have no parents and elders, and they don't know where they came from, so they simply change the official name to their children's surname.

The people at the other table were more interesting, talking about what they had seen and heard, which opened Wei Zun's eyes.

The people are rich, the law is strict, no one wants to break the law, so everyone loves themselves, and the official executions of prisoners every year are very few, and gradually the legal net is widened, and many places are full of wealthy families, and order collapses.

There was a little official who ate too much and couldn't control his mouth with a full burp.

"Our Anlu County Hei family is definitely the best family in Korea, guess what?" Without waiting for the person on the other side to reply, the little official seemed to be afraid of being robbed of the opportunity to perform, so he hurriedly said loudly.

"It is said that the head of the black family was in the Qin Dynasty to the general, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, but the descendants were not angry, and they were repeatedly not reused, so they had to exchange Su for the title, and the head of the black family once gave 4,000 stones to the side of the Su, and could have obtained the lord of the five doctors, but when I heard that it was the black family, it was only given to a public doctor, and the black family was half angry. ”

"According to my guess, the top must not want the black family to rise, and want to suppress the powerful and powerful clan. In order to comfort his ideals of a high-ranking official who died young, the head of the black family paid a high price to customize the chariot, found four pure white horses to pull and walk, and also learned the etiquette in the palace. ”

"It's not enough for him to sit by himself, but any guest of a certain grade who goes to the black house as a guest will be treated like a son of heaven, with a bright red carpet under his feet, and the servants with armor and swords on both sides, the battle is worse than King Liang, and fiercer than the palace. ”

After a pause, seeing that Wei Zun didn't turn his head to look at him, he seemed to feel that this was not loud enough, took a sip of hot soup, and said boldly: "I have the honor to experience it once, the stars and the moon, the heroism of the overlord of heaven and earth, it is like really going to the palace." ”

Then he felt that he had blown his head too much, and quickly explained: "We are just a small official, of course we are not worthy of such a battle, and the head of the Hei family is not worthy of it, so I asked him, are you crazy and want to enter the palace?"

"The patriarch of the Hei family didn't care, he just smiled with me and said, Old Han, I just thought about the addiction of the Son of Heaven, he King Liang can play like this, and I can too!"

When the little official's words fell, Wei Zun finally turned his head to look at him, so frightened that this guy shrank his neck back, the whole person shrunk into a ball, dwarfed into an ostrich, sweating in his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Wei Zun is very satisfied with his prestige, damn, fortunately Lao Tzu is the ruling class......

For the little official's careful thoughts, classmate Han knew it and asked, "Since the Hei family is so arrogant, why don't you report them?"

"The Hei clan has dominated the county for many years with its might, and it is very powerful, I am just a small official, how can I be someone's opponent?"

"In addition to transgressing the system, what else did the Hei family do?" Wei Zun asked with interest.

"Robbing people's daughters. As he spoke, he fell on all fours, his eyes were red, and his nose was about to run down, and he burst into tears, which was really pitiful.

It seemed that the bargaining chips were not enough, and private matters could not impress Wei Zun, so he continued: "That Hei family is simply the emperor of Anlu County, and the imperial court stipulates thirty taxes and one tax, but in Anlu County, it is charged at fifteen taxes and one tax. The black family is lawless, the fish and the people, and the adults are invited to call the shots. ”

Wei Zun thought about it, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with us, I am just a son of a prince, I have no official position, and I will die quickly if I meddle in things, so I simply push it to the future emperor to solve it.

"Bring a knife and a pen. ”

"Wow!" the little official was overjoyed, and cried with joy.

In this era, it is difficult to move an inch without a message, and the little official does not go to Chang'an to complain, not because he doesn't want to go, but because he can't even enter the city gate......

Seeing that Wei Zun wanted to do justice, the master of the stable was also a little excited, so he hurriedly found a knife and pen, and even his attitude was more respectful.

The officials in the stables were full of reverence, with a strange look in their eyes, and their impression of the princes' children had changed slightly, and they also had some more insight and justice for their official careers.

Wei Zun held a knife and pen, unfolded the bamboo slips, and carved the matter crookedly in the modern version of simplified characters, regardless of whether the people guarding the city could understand it or not, but just instructed the little official: "If others can't understand it, report my name and go to the crown prince Yan Dan for verification." ”

After a pause, he took out a golden pill from the middle of his collar and handed it to the little official as a token, and glanced at everyone in the stable, a majestic righteousness rose in his chest, and his tone was stable and convincing.

"My name is Wei Zun. ”
