Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror People Chapter 247 From now on, I will never dare to frame Changshi again
A few days later, Wusun Kunmo was a group of ministers, and the old Xiangguo was also sick. Wusun Kunmo said: "The Han Dynasty sent envoys to make peace, which is a great joy for our country. The king decided to send his eldest son, General You, to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, to meet the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and learn the advanced farming and manufacturing techniques of the Han Dynasty. Imitation of the Han Dynasty political system, Tian Fang Guoxiang served as the Tai Lieutenant in charge of the national army, Xiao Da was the general of the Zhenguo, and was good at protecting the country, staying in the capital to assist the Tai Lieutenant, leading the army in war, handing over the power of the army without war to the Tai Lieutenant, and assisting the Tai Lieutenant in training soldiers. All the ministers shouted in unison: "The king is wise." ”
Kunlun Xiao gave the gifts to Wusun Kunmo, ministers and generals respectively. Everyone was happy to see the beauty of silk and the gold carving of jade. Kunlun Xiao knew that Ban Chao was looking forward to good news, so he bid farewell to Wusun Junchen, and went straight to Khotan with the eldest son of the king.
said that since Li Yi played a secret concert for the emperor, he had a ghost in his heart all day long, and he didn't dare to meet Ban Chao. And Ban Chao knew his ghostly tricks, and he was open in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to him, and was busy learning about the military situation and inspecting the cantonment all day long. On this day, it was suddenly rumored that the emperor's envoy had arrived. Ban Chao, Li Yi and others hurriedly received the order. I only listened to the envoy's decree: "Ban Chao is loyal and brave, has made great contributions, and continues to arbitrarily judge the affairs of the Western Regions." Li Yi falsely accused Ban Chao, and I was very angry. If Ban Chao supports his wife and children, wouldn't more than 1,000 of his subordinates want to return, how can they be loyal to the Han with Ban Chao and work hard in the Western Regions. Li Yi was restrained by Ban Chao in the Western Regions, and all actions must follow Ban Chao's instructions. The two kowtowed and thanked the order.
Li Yi saw that the emperor had exposed the false accusation against Ban Chao, his face was white and blue, and he saw that the emperor had explicitly ordered him to be restrained by Ban Chao, thinking that if Ban Chao retaliated, he could find a ballast to kill him at any time, thinking of this, his legs trembled, and cold sweat broke out. "Butong!" He knelt down in front of Ban Chao and said, "Changshi spare me, Changshi spare me." He kept kowtowing as he spoke. When Gan Ying and Murong Hao saw Li Yi's bear-like appearance, they felt disgusted and turned their heads away. Ban Chao hurriedly helped Li Yi up and said, "Adults don't have to be like this, please get up quickly." You and I both work for the emperor, and it is normal for political disagreements. The emperor is wise, we should abandon personal grievances and contribute to the country loyally. Li Yi nodded again and again, but his heart was still like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.
The envoy said: "The emperor said that Tonghei Sun is a great plan to settle the Western Regions, and Li Yi can be the captain of Banchao and handle this matter well." The two of them thanked them for the order. Li Yi saw that the emperor ordered him to be the captain of Ban Chao and became a subordinate of Ban Chao, not only did he pinch his life in the hands of Ban Chao, but also could not return to China for a while, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he trembled and saluted Ban Chao and said: "Changshi spared me for being narrow-minded in the past, and listened to the lies of Gongsun Miao and the dog thief, and I was embarrassed by Changshi many times, and I will never dare to frame Changshi from now on." Murong Hao saw him pitifully and said: "Don't worry, Lord Li, there are a lot of squad leader Shi, as long as you change your past, the squad leader Shi will not be counted." Li Yi said again and again: "The squad leader Shi has a lot of adults, and he doesn't know like villains, and he doesn't know like villains. ”
While everyone was talking, the king of the Zhonghu army came to report: "Changshi is overjoyed, General Kunlun is back, and Kunmi, the eldest son of King Kunmo of Wusun, entered the court to serve and went to the State Post House together." Ban Chao breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this: "Kunlun Xiao really lived up to the emperor's high expectations, and completed the plan to reconcile Wuhu, I will go to the National Pavilion to see it soon." Everyone came to the National Post House together. Li Yi listened to Wang Huzi's report, he was stunned, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
That night, Ban Chao feasted at the National Post House for the prince Kunmi. I sat at the same table as Kunmi. On the left, Kunlun Xiao is headed by Li Yi, and Shan, Murong Hao, and Ding Jiaju are seated in order. On the right, Liu Jing, the emperor's envoy, led by General Asalan, Gan Ying, Li Kaishan, and Yu Wenchu, sat in order. Murong Hao specially opened two jars of Banchao wine transported from Shanshan, and as soon as the wine was poured into the bowl, the aroma hit people, and Asalan took a sip of the bowl and tasted it: "This wine is mellow and delicious, it must be five years old." Murong Hao praised: "General Chen is really a famous drinker, and this wine has been kept for five years. The crowd laughed.
Ban Chao raised his glass with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Come on!" Come! This first bowl was given to the prince and General Tsuzen. The crowd applauded in unison. Ban Chao said again: "This second bowl of wine is for Ambassador Liu." And they drank it all again. Ban Chao picked up the third bowl of wine and stood up and said with respect: "This third bowl of wine is a tribute to General Kunlun, who worked hard all the way and returned successfully." And they drank it all in one gulp. This Gan Ying, Yu Wenchu, and Li Kaishan are all massive, and when they saw Ban Chao happy, they sat together and toasted each other and drank happily.
But he said that the amount of good wine was not large, and he had three bowls of belly, and he saw that Ban Chao had a bold personality, so he talked more. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "I want to pay tribute to Mr. Kunlun, the great general of the gods, and the wise and brave general." When everyone saw him call Kunlun Xiao as the god of heaven and the brave general, they suddenly felt funny, but they also felt that Kunlun Xiao took on this name. Gan Ying said on the other side: "And general, tell me how General Kunlun is the general of the Heavenly God of Wisdom and Bravery, and how he became a gentleman?" Yuwen Chu and Li Kaishan both coaxed: "Let's talk about it, let's open our eyes." ”
And he said, "I'll tell you about it." Then he bowed to Prince Kunmi and said, "I can't tell you everything, please add to it." Kunmi nodded in favor. So he put Kunlun Xiao on how to subdue King Kun Mo intelligently, and set up a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to promote the reconciliation of the two generals, and how powerful Kunlun Xiao Xiao was to pull Xiao Da, the first fierce general in my country, back to his seat like a child. And how to shoot three wild pigeons with a series of arrows, only to hear the hearts of the people shake. Li Yi secretly thought: Thanks to Kunlun Xiao's trip to Wusun, if I go, I won't be able to solve the problem of Wusun Kunmo, and I am secretly ashamed in my heart. Gan Ying was very happy when she heard this, and got up and said: "Second brother Zhiyong Shuangquan is really worthy of Mr. General Zhiyong of the Heavenly God, I respect you for three bowls." Everyone laughed, and the room was full of spring breeze.
The next day, Ban Chao asked Liu Jing and Kunlun Xiao to discuss the matter of escorting Prince Kunmi back to Beijing. Ban Chao told Iron Hammer about Kunlun's success in laughing to Wuhu Xiao, and Iron Hammer was very happy. Ban Chao said: "Escorting the prince and Lord Liu back to the dynasty is basically decided now, and General Heshan escorts them to Beijing, and then orders General Murong Hao to return to Beijing, and by the way, check the situation of Shanshan and Tianshui military quartermasters." I suggest that Lord Li Yi also return to the court to report on his work, I don't know what the public thinks? Liu Jing said: "The emperor was very angry that Li Yi falsely accused Changshi and was afraid of difficulties and did not dare to go to Wusun. I think the emperor wants him to suffer more in the Western Regions. Iron Hammer said: "After Li Yi and other villains return to the dynasty, I am afraid that he will make trouble again and lose the great achievements of history, so it is better to stay by his side, and he can also take precautions." Kunlun said with a smile: "We are waiting in the Western Regions, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and we will exhaust our intelligence to win every event." Fortunately, our brothers and I are all kind to each other and work together, so although it is bitter and sweet, it will be a burden to keep this person around, so it is better to let him go. ”
Ban Chao got up and paced back and forth, Kunlun Xiao knew that every time there was a major juncture, Ban Chao had to think repeatedly before making a decision, so everyone was silent. Liangjiu Banchao said angrily: "It is precisely because Li Yi has the heart of a villain that he has framed me many times, and it is better to let him go back if he stays by his side." I hope that he can be ashamed of introspection, and if he wants to stay by his side and control him for a while, will he not be able to live up to the emperor's grace and give me the righteousness of arbitrariness. We are dedicated to serving the country with a heart and an open heart, so why bother to defend the villains, and they have general knowledge. The three nodded. Liu Jingdao: "I have heard that I have a long history of open-mindedness and generosity, and I gave credit to Gongsun Miao last time, and I forgave Li Yi this time." Changshi is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a general of the country. ”
A few days later, Murong Hao, Liu Jing, and Li Yi accompanied Prince Kunmi and Heshan to bid farewell to Banchao and others, leaving Khotan and advancing towards the Central Plains. Li Yi saw that Ban Chao ignored his past suspicions and let himself go back to China, he felt ashamed, and after returning to China, he scolded Gongsun Miao, and never dared to frame Ban Chao again.
