Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror People Chapter 225 The concubine and the talented girl were in tears
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Emperor Zhang hesitated, so he said: "Withdraw from the dynasty and discuss it again in the future." β
Emperor Zhang returned to the harem, and the two sisters of the Dou family came to take over, and when they saw Emperor Zhang's brows, he asked: "What is the emperor's undecided matter in retreating from the dynasty, take care of the dragon body, I specially made black rice and red bean porridge, please taste it." Emperor Zhang said: "In the early days of the Western Regions, Shi Banchao, the chief of the Western Regions, was supposed to stay in the Western Regions, and the ministers were indecided, and I was very worried. Dou Guifei said: "Your Majesty, my aunt and the class teacher are now in the harem, and they talked about the matter of the class in the morning." These two are talented women of the two dynasties, why don't you ask them? Emperor Zhang said: "Okay, please ask the two talented women to see me in the Heart Palace." β
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Zhang ordered Dou Dan and Ban Zhao to sit down and speak. Dou Dan said: "The emperor is a wise lord, Ban Chao's stay in the Western Regions will be beneficial to my Han and will not do any harm, I don't know what worries the king has?" Emperor Zhang said: "I don't know why Li Yi and Gongsun Miao want Ban Chao to return to the dynasty." Li Yi also wants to cure Banchao's crime of resisting the decree. I can't understand the truth about the Western Regions, so that Ban Chao's edict to return to China may be wrong, and Ban Chao will be guilty of what a crime he is. But Chen Mu led an army of 10,000 people to garrison the car division, and he was defeated in two years, Ban Chao had no soldiers and no generals, and he was far away from the Han Dynasty in a desperate area, I was worried that he would have an accident and would not be able to return to the customs alive. Seeing this, Ban Zhao got up and knelt down and said: "The emperor is really a wise and benevolent lord, if the second brother knows the emperor's love for his ministers, he dares not to repay him with death." "After that, I didn't feel tears. Emperor Zhang said: "Teacher, please get up, the class family has been loyal and good for generations, and I know very well that Ban Chao can make contributions in the Western Regions, and I will pay tribute to the marquis to reward his merits." Dou Dan said: "What the emperor said is incomprehensible, Chen Mu's army was defeated by 10,000 people, and Ban Chao was able to pacify more than ten countries in the Western Regions without spending a single soldier in the imperial court. Today's Ban Chao will Kunlun Xiao back to the court to send this, its long time under the hands of Ban Chao, collect Shanshan, serve Khotan, Ding Shule, lead 5,000 Western Regions miscellaneous soldiers, run 3,000 miles to relieve the siege of Geng Gong, all of them participated, why didn't the emperor summon to ask in person, in order to grasp the first-hand materials? Emperor Zhang said happily: "It's still the emperor's aunt who sees me, and immediately summons Kunlun to see me with a smile." β
Kunlun Xiao was anxious and uneasy at the Anxi Inn, and he didn't know what the emperor's attitude was when he saw Songben. Suddenly, when he saw the palace attendants coming to summon, he felt a little relieved, knowing that Princess Dou Dan had played a role, so he took the map of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, and the Western Regions drawn by Shang Chao, and came to the Yangxin Palace with the inner attendants.
Kunlun smiled and knelt down to salute Emperor Zhang. Emperor Zhang said: "Sit down, General Kunlun came from the Western Regions, worked hard all the way, I have read the book carefully, and the ministers have different opinions, and there is a matter of unclear and please ask the general to teach me." After speaking, Chen Mu was defeated by 10,000 people, and the reason for Ban Chao's great victory without soldiers made Kunlun smile in detail. Kunlun smiled and saw that Emperor Zhang was really wise, and as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he went straight to the point and said lightly: "What Your Majesty asked is the core question of the Western Regions, and Rong Chen explained it in detail. Kunlun laughed and took Chen Mu as the protector of the capital, and skillfully set up a name to accumulate money, and raped and then killed the fiancΓ©e of the Cheshi prince Angel, which made the Cheshi, Weisu and other tribes and mountain countries unbearable, and colluded with the black tyrant to take Jiaohe and kill Chen Mu. Xia Huo deceived Liuzhong again, only Geng Gong trained his troops to protect the city, held the lonely city for half a year, and dragged the army of tens of thousands of Black Tyrants to prevent them from invading south. Emperor Zhang listened and interjected: "It's hateful that Chen Mu has brought about his own defeat. Kunlun Xiao told Ban Chao how to take Shanshan, obey Khotan, and set Shule, and rescue Geng Gong with 5,000 athletes from the Western Regions. Kunlun smiled and saw that Emperor Zhang and the two concubines, Ban Zhao and Dou Dan listened attentively, and called Guo Chun to order Ban Chao to return to the court, Li Xi killed himself, and the people of Khotan retained the Han envoys, and the situation was touching and detailed to say. I only heard that Emperor Zhang's blood was swollen, and the two noble concubines and the two talented women were in tears. Kunlun Xiao was clear-headed, articulate, and coherent to finish the details of the Western Regions, and the heart cultivation hall was quiet, only the two noble concubines and the two talented women were moved to occasionally sob.
Emperor Banzhang said: "The squad leader Shi is loyal to the country, Zhang Hanwei, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, he is really a hero in the world!" It's hateful that someone in the DPRK wants to punish him for his crime, and he almost lost his life, which is really hateful! Seeing this, Dou Dan said: "Some ministers in the imperial court are not accustomed to border affairs, please don't worry about them." Ban Zhao also said: "The monarch is straightforward, the country's prosperity, the father's filial piety, the family's prosperity, which dynasty and which generation have virtuous ministers, there are villains, the emperor is close to the virtuous ministers and far villains, the monarchs and ministers are single-minded, the world can be governed, internal and external harmony, and the world is peaceful." Emperor Zhang nodded and said, "The words of the class teacher are very good, I must remember them." β
Kunlun laughed and saw that Emperor Zhang not only did not blame Ban Chao, but also praised Ban Chao as a hero, and his heart was moved. took out the map drawn by Ban Chao from his bosom and spread it on a few places, and everyone surrounded him. Kunlun smiled and said according to the tripartite relationship between the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions, and the Black Overlord: "As long as the Western Regions can be stabilized, it will constitute a strategic advantage over the Black Overlord, and the Black Overlord will inevitably not dare to start a war lightly on both sides, so the three parties can get along amicably, which is really Your Majesty's blessing and the creation of the people of the three parties." The squad leader Shi relied on the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions to convince the public with sincerity and conquer the people with razing, so he was able to become a Tartar merit. Emperor Zhang nodded in deep agreement. Dou Dan said: "The first father gave Ban Chao as the great Sima, Ban Chao and others outwitted Shanshan, and the first emperor praised Ban Chao as a wise and brave man, and he was actually awarded as Sima." A few years ago, the father led the army to level the car division, the court re-established the capital protection, because of the recommendation of the villain, Chen Mu for the capital protection, the father saw that Ban Chao had a great merit, so that it was a long history, and then because of Chen Mu's defeat, his father died of illness, the appointment of the court of Ban Chao's long history has not yet been expressly ordered, please ask the emperor to decree it to be the long history of the Western Regions, and grant the right to arbitrarily comfort his heart in his name. Emperor Zhang said: "The words of the imperial aunt are very good, and I will give it to me tomorrow morning." β
The two concubines Dou were very happy when they saw that Emperor Zhang's sorrow had been relieved, so they said, "The emperor is tired, please go back." The crowd thanked and retreated.
