Chapter 227: Scheming Women Are Difficult

The Western Regions, which was originally relatively stable, was soon unstable again because of Lan Qi'er, Ruan Xiangyu, Wang Guifei and other three women, and it was also a contest of wisdom and courage after women entered middle and old age.

Han King Liu Xun can recover the Han Dynasty Liu family's country, Liu Xun has absolute control over the Central Plains, it has been nearly a year since the Huo family controlled the Han family, Liu Xun raised his eyebrows to celebrate, so the outer court personally issued a holy decree to the emperor, two months later by the ceremonial officer selected the auspicious day of the zodiac to hold a ceremony to worship ancestors.

The 36 countries of the Western Regions ran through the diplomatic envoys of the Han Dynasty, and all received invitations from the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, which had two meanings.

On the one hand, Han Liu Xun took the opportunity of the Han Dynasty's ancestor worship ceremony to test how much deterrent the current Han Dynasty had on the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and how many Western Regions countries were still subservient to the Han Dynasty on the surface.

On the one hand, the ancestor worship ceremony shows that Liu Xun, a monarch of the Han Dynasty, officially ruled the Han Dynasty, ruled the Central Plains, and a powerful empire was firmly located in the east of the world.

The princess Wang Guifei in Shanjun City got the news early, she is also over forty years old, an aging woman, now the Han Dynasty has no backing, Shanjun City is the place where she has paid half her life's work, and there are two hostile women in the Western Regions, Lan Qier and Ruan Xiangyu, who want to see the end of Qi in their lifetime, so they immediately planned, wanting to take the opportunity of the Han Dynasty's ancestor worship ceremony to provoke the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu and Loulan Ancient Kingdoms again, and want to see the fate of those two women as soon as possible!

Wang Guifei thinks it is very reasonable, because if there is no action outside it, what merits, Shanjun City is not her territory, there are already military generals in the Han Dynasty who can't bear the arrogance, and they have long wanted to take advantage of the Han Dynasty ancestor worship ceremony to lead the army into Shanjun City, and use Shanjun City as a springboard to conquer Qishanzhi, and then Wang Guifei may not have any status.

The countries of the Western Regions received the invitation of the good Son of Heaven, and they knew very well what this invitation meant and the weight of this invitation.

The country in the Western Regions can compete with the Han Dynasty, to be honest, there was really no at that time, the Han army of 30,000 was stationed in the Western Regions, and did not take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu power, which gave a heavy blow to the Xiongnu power, because of the particularity of the geographical location of the Xiongnu, which led to a large number of materials in its country could not be self-sufficient, and it was necessary to plunder the border of the Han Dynasty, which caused the cavalry of its country to often encounter Han soldiers and suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the 36 countries in the Western Regions are close to the borders of the Han Dynasty, and they all choose to submit on the surface, take the national treasure and set off, of course, there are also countries in the Western Regions that ignore the Han invitation, these countries are located in Central Asia, which is far away from the scope of the Han Dynasty's army.

Wang Guifei also thought of the best way to deal with the early stage of Qishan City, that is, when the Han Dynasty worshiped the ancestors, the envoys of most countries in the Western Regions were there, and through the mouth of the Han Emperor, the emperor ordered the emperor to control and seal the merchants of Qishan City, and had reached the blockade and cutting off of the materials of Qishan City, and reached the shortage and lack of materials among the people of the ancient Loulan Kingdom in the early stage, slowly consuming its national strength, and finally sending a large army to seal the mountain and capture it.

Wang Guifei thought about it, in order to achieve it, in order to achieve the effect, she thought that now she has no one reliable in the Han Dynasty, and now she doesn't know where the pigeon will fly, and who will go to the book, and the success or failure of the matter will be slim.

The more Wang Guifei thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more she knew in her heart, in order to realize her thoughts, she finally decided to go to the Han Dynasty Hall in person, to Chang'an City, to face the saint, to say her own thoughts, and plan it.

Wang Guifei can be said to have thought of the most usable person, the most hopeful person to help her, that is, General Zhao Chongguo Zhao of the Western Regions Protectorate, in order to get the help of General Zhao Chongguo, he brought ten opals of gems accumulated over the years, and immediately went out of Shanjun City accompanied by his entourage and went straight to the Western Regions Protectorate.

The time difference made Wang Guifei and General Zhao Chongguo miss each other, the two did not meet, Wang Guifei immediately went out of the Western Regions to chase after him, and finally arrived in Chang'an City and could not catch up, but there was no matter, and there was still some time for the Han ancestor ceremony.

Wang Guifei doesn't know if she doesn't enter Chang'an City, twenty years have passed in a hurry, Shanjun City has changed slightly, and the big Han Capital City is not what she left at the beginning.

When Wang Guifei married Loulan Guguo, she was not a Han princess, not the daughter of a big family in the court, just a female instructor in the harem, she still had a sense of existence if she didn't enter Chang'an City, and when she appeared in Chang'an, she suddenly felt as if she didn't exist, and she had no value.

A gust of wind blew and woke up Wang Guifei who was standing on the street, Wang Guifei knew very well what she was doing, and immediately ordered the maid to start inquiring about the mansion of General Zhao Chongguo Zhao, fortunately, General Zhao still has some reputation in Chang'an City, and his mansion is relatively easy to find.

General Zhao had just returned to the house in front of the saint, and the servants of the doorman immediately reported that there was a woman outside the door who asked to see him, known as the princess of Shanjun City.

Of course Zhao Chongguo knew, thinking about how she came to Chang'an City, since the people were at the gate, so he ordered his subordinates to let Wang Guifei enter the living room and wait.

General Zhao finished washing, went to the hall, Wang Guifei saw General Zhao enter from outside the door, immediately stood up respectfully, Shi Lizhi, the two of them sat down after a polite manner, during the conversation, General Zhao heard the meaning of Wang Guifei into Chang'an City, and heard the reason for his face to be saint.

General Zhao is a general and a marquis, a feudal official, and he is Fengzhao who returned to the capital, and it makes sense to see the emperor.

Wang Guifei is a person who observes words and feelings, and sees that General Zhao is embarrassed, so she immediately presented ten cat's eye gems prepared in advance, General Zhao is not an unrighteous person, nor is he a greedy and lustful person, but he also knows that the current court does not even know what the situation and direction is, and he wants to make trouble for himself if he says something wrong.

Wang Guifei saw that General Zhao's face was expressionless, so she immediately knelt on the ground, began to cry, began to sensationalize, and began to tell her personal experience, expressing that she now has only the only place to return to Shanjun City.

General Zhao immediately helped Wang Guifei up, and after the two discussed, finally General Zhao Chong faced the saint first, and promoted Wang Guifei, asking the emperor to receive her!

A new day has arrived, and Wang Guifei is waiting for news from Zhao Chongguo's mansion, that is, waiting for the summons of Emperor Liu Xun.

Time passed minute by minute, nine o'clock had passed, the door of Zhao's mansion finally moved, the family immediately lifted the door bolt, the door of the house with the movement of the house, creaked open, Zhao Chongguo is considered to be the next dynasty to return to the house, the news was naturally brought back, Wang Guifei hurried to the Fumen Mountain to greet him.

Waiting for Zhao Chongguo to sit on the guest hall and said: Wang Guifei, this general can be protected by you in the court, and the courtiers have mentioned your former emperor's political faction, I believe you should have a number in your heart, right?

Wang Guifei heard General Zhao say this in the hall, of course she was afraid, yes, she thought so in Shanjun City, so she thought about it, why didn't she think of it, now let's talk about it, isn't she a henchman of the Huo Guang family?

Wang Guifei looked at Zhao Chongguo with her eyes from time to time, was it an expectant look?

Zhao Chongguo said at this time: Wang Guifei, this official can fight for you, and get a chance for you to meet the saint, it is impossible to summon you alone, because your special identity is not able to be summoned by this, this is the only chance for Mi to live and die, there are two possibilities in the court, one is that your political opinions have won the approval of the emperor and ministers, and they will be reused and get what you want.

One is that after you went to the court, your political opinions were denied by the emperor and the ministers, and the result can be imagined, what do the courtiers do to you, you don't need to say it, you really don't see the light of day, it's completely over, do you still want to go to the court? Still want to Bo?

The official can give you a chance, I have told you what should be said and what should not be said, you choose, at this time, the two looked at each other.

Wang Guifei wanted to express her position, so she said: General Zhao himself is here, and General Zhao has already asked for a chance for me, it is a face saint, my life and death are no longer important, I can't let General Zhao not confess in the court, I must face the saint, I must have a chance to survive!

Zhao Chongguodao: Okay, okay, then tomorrow I will go to the court with the official, life and death are up to fate!

Wang Guifei said: Regardless of life or death, this woman has thanked General Zhao first, and I still have a request?

Zhao Chongguodao: Okay, say, but it's okay to say?

Wang Guifei said: I don't know if I live or die tomorrow, I have two maids, if I don't have a chance to see the day, please ask General Zhao to take them in at home, the two maids are innocent, there are no relatives in the world, they are all hard-working people?

Zhao Chongguodao: Okay, the official agreed, agreed!

Wang Guifei had no reason to stand, so she immediately knelt down and thanked her.

Zhao Chongguo immediately helped him and said: Okay, the official can only satisfy you, success or failure depends on your creation, okay, the official has other matters, you go back to the room and think about how to face the saint tomorrow, go!

Wang Guifei withdrew from the hall and returned to a side room in the Zhao Mansion, explaining the matter to the maid and considering how to braid.

In life, since some things have been chosen, they have to be faced, life and death are fateful, and Wang Guifei can reach the time of the saint.

The court meeting of the Han Dynasty Hall can begin, Zhao Chongguo has long thought that he is above the imperial palace, and Wang Guifei is going to listen to the announcement, and she can only wait in the palace for a while.

There was no movement in the court, an hour passed, Wang Guifei was extremely anxious in her heart, and another quarter of an hour passed, and a big eunuch wearing a haired official hat and holding a dust whisk suddenly walked out of the door of the Han Palace, and looked at it from time to time and said: That is the Wang Guifei of Shanjun City, the emperor has decreed, and you have been admonished!

Wang Guifei immediately said: I am, I am, so I followed the eunuch into the Han Imperial Palace, this hall Wang Guifei is impressed, she entered twenty years ago, after walking a few steps, her knees immediately knelt down and said: Long live the lord of Chenshan County Wang Guifei knock to see my emperor Long live, long live, long live!

Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty said on the dragon chair: You are the princess of the good county, I have already received you, there is a music is a play, right?

Wang Guifei immediately said: The minister obeyed the order, the minister was a female official of the Han Palace, and was ordered by the first emperor to marry in the ancient country of Loulan, and when he left the country, the minister made an oath that he must do his best to assist me in the Han Dynasty to unify the western frontier.

The minister's good policy is specifically like this, that is, to control the merchants, take the opportunity of this ancestor worship ceremony of our Han Dynasty, when the envoys of the Western Regions have arrived, the Son of Heaven of my Han Dynasty issued an order of the Son of Heaven, so that the countries of the Western Regions can not trade with the ancient country of Loulan in the future, and send the soldiers within the scope of the Western Regions to inspect it from time to time, so as to strictly block the entire Qishan trade channel, and then hit the ancient country of Loulan with heavy losses in terms of economic and living materials, and weaken the national strength of its country in the long run.

Wang Guifei's expression in the court is clear, her voice is loud, the logic is reasonable, the reason is clear, and the implementation is at the right time, and the envoys from all countries are there!

For a while, everyone could see that Wang Guifei was fully prepared, and it was based on the interests of the Han Dynasty, and she could not refute it in time, so that she really won the approval of most monarchs and ministers.

The position of the lord of Shanjun City was firmly seated, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face!
