Dou Dan asked again: "Does General Kunlun have something to meet the emperor when he returns to Beijing this time?" Kunlun smiled: "Exactly, the leopard's head has a copy to present to the emperor." Analyze the situation in the Western Regions in detail, and ask the emperor to send important ministers to reconcile Wusun in order to flank Qiuzi. Dou Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Why send important ministers there? Isn't it okay to let the emperor authorize you? If you send important ministers and high positions, won't you become your emperor when you arrive in the Western Regions? If you have similar interests, it's fine, but if you don't, you will have a mess of elbows and armpits. Kunlun smiled and suddenly realized, and said: "I only think that the emperor is wise, and he can send important ministers there, or the countries of the Western Regions, without thinking about these problems, if the princess is in the army, she will definitely be able to make up for our negligence." "I regret it. Dou Dan smiled: "That's not necessarily? You are loyal to the court, and you have no defenses. ”

Ban Zhao said: "Since the music has been written, let's play it truthfully, and wait until the emperor sends who to say." And they talked again, and when they saw that it was late in the night, they dispersed.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Zhang was discussing with the masses about the Huai River flood and the disaster relief and grain release, and discussed for a long time. Taiwei Deng Biao said: "Don't worry, the emperor should not worry, now that the four seas are peaceful, the country is rich, and the Huai River flood can make Xu and Yang prefectures release grain nearby, and then exempt the disaster area from taxes for two years." "Emperor Zhang's quasi-play.

Deng Biao played again: "Shi Banchao, the chief of the Western Regions, has won consecutive battles in the Western Regions, and today he has sent someone to report the victory. When Emperor Zhang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”

Kunlun entered the hall with a smile, and when he saw Emperor Zhang's radiant face, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Long live!" Then he handed over the class super's notebook. Emperor Zhang received the book and read it carefully from beginning to end, and asked Kunlun Xiao to tell the situation in detail after the hammer led his troops to the Western Regions, and Emperor Zhang and the ministers were very relieved to hear it. Emperor Zhang said: "Ban Chao conquered Gumo in the Western Regions to quell the rebellion of Shule Fanjia, and the situation in the Western Regions has greatly improved. Now Ban Chao asked the imperial court to send important ministers to comfort Sun, so as to form a flanking attack on Qiuzi, I think it is very good, I don't know which minister is willing to go? ”

This group of ministers had been in peace in the prosperous capital for a long time, and when they heard that they were going to the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, they were afraid and did not dare to stretch out their heads. Emperor Zhang saw that all the ministers did not dare to stretch out their heads and were dissatisfied in their hearts, so he swept the ministers with his eyes, and saw that the marquis Li Yi did not dare to face it, and suddenly said childlikely: "Li Aiqing, who do you think is going to send a trip?" Li Yi saw that the emperor nodded to his head, and hurriedly said: "Since the squad leader Shi has achieved a good situation in the Western Regions, and he will send troops to break Qiuzi, why let the imperial court send people all the way to Wusun?" Seeing that Li Yi did not answer his question positively, Emperor Zhang did not like it and could not refute him, so he said to his ministers: "What do you think of Li Yi's words? Seeing that Li Yi openly opposed going to Wusun, and seeing that the emperor's questioning was ambiguous, the ministers all bowed their heads and were silent. Taiwei Deng Biao played: "Sending an envoy to comfort Wusun is very good for forming a flanking attack on Qiuzi, but only who to send there can live up to the national dignity, and can also prestige the Western Regions, and hope that the emperor will make a holy decision." Emperor Zhang saw that everyone could usually speak well, and when they encountered difficult things, none of them dared to stretch out their heads and was unhappy, and said angrily: "When you encounter difficult things, you must be sacred, there is no major matter, you are all like a river, and you can feel ashamed compared with Ban Chao!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to respond when they saw Emperor Zhang angry. Captain Deng Biao said: "Your Majesty ordered the ministers to be ashamed, and the ministers are willing to go to the Western Regions to comfort Wusun." Emperor Zhang glanced at him, then looked at Li Yi, and saw that he didn't dare to breathe, so he had the heart to let him suffer a little and said loudly: "Taiwei is old, and he has the whole army in charge, so he can't travel far." I see that Weihou Li Yi is known for his eloquence, and I specially order you to go to Wusun for the minister of drinking and drinking, and comfort Wusun. Li Yi saw that Emperor Zhang had made his decree clear, so he had to kneel down to receive the decree and thank him.

However, it was said that Ban Zhao and Dou Dan learned that they had sent Li Yi to go, and they hurriedly gathered in Chun Slender Shifu to discuss. When everyone mentioned meeting, Kunlun smiled and patted his head with his hand and said very anxiously: "The leopard head calls me Zhiduoxing, once careless, it caused trouble, damn it!" Damn it! Seeing this, Dou Dan said in a calm voice: "General, don't worry, please call your Excellency to explain the situation of the court in detail, let's see what is the intention of the emperor to send Li Yi?" Chun Shoushi patted his head and suddenly said: "Thank you princess for your guidance, I watched the emperor send Li Yi to the Western Regions, not to pay more attention to him, but to let him endure hardships." Dou Dan smiled: "That's it." Tomorrow, I will go to the harem to see the emperor, and ask the emperor to issue a secret edict, so that Li Yi shall not interfere in the affairs of Banchao in the Western Regions except to comfort Wusun, so as to prevent Li Yi. The crowd said yes in unison. Kunlun Xiao is even more grateful, because he knows that the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to communicate with the imperial court, Li Yi is a famous traitor, and he has always opposed the recovery of the Western Regions.

However, it is said that the great-granddaughter of Dou Rong, the great Situ Daihou, has won the love of Emperor Zhang since entering the palace, and within two years, Dou Min was the queen and Dou Hui was the concubine. The second Dou girl has not given birth for a long time, and for the grace of Emperor Guzhang, she recognized the son of the harem Liang nobleman as a son. Later, Emperor Zhang abolished Prince Qing and established Zhao as the crown prince. Emperor Zhang was very fond of the queen and concubine. Dou Dan is the second aunt, and Emperor Zhang often praises Dou Dan as a talented woman of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Dou Dan often came to Changming Palace, and the eunuch hurriedly greeted him: "The emperor is playing chess with the queen, I will go and inform you." Dou Dan shook his head and said, "Don't disturb the emperor and queen Yaxing, I'll go to the front to watch the battle." ”
