Chapter 88: Chang'an Shakes

"This general is in charge of Li Guang, the guard of Weiyang Palace! I've seen the envoy! The imposing-looking and intimidating general replied! He looked at the Han Jie in Li You's hand and stopped talking.

It turned out to be General Fei! No wonder it's so eye-catching; Presumably he just wanted to ask himself about the situation of the Huns, right? Hearing the news of his return, he probably already guessed that the Great Han was going to start a war against the Xiongnu again! How could a general as enthusiastic about fighting as he would be willing to miss this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhang Qian is back!" Entering the Xuanshu Palace, Li You finally saw the emperor who left a glorious record in Chinese history, and now the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che is just eighteen years old, and the power of the court is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou, but after a few years of training, Liu Che has begun to take on the appearance of an emperor.

"Zhang Aiqing is back!" Liu Che was still sitting on the throne, but since Li You entered the Xuanshu Hall with the Han Festival in his hand, he finally couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up and carefully looked at the only envoy who had completed the mission, only to see that his originally smooth face had been carved out of ravines by the wind and sand of the desert and the flying snow of the snow-capped mountains, and the old brocade robe had become tattered, covered with dark blood stains, but his gaze was still firm and unyielding, as if he set off from Chang'an.

"Yes! Since the minister set out from Chang'an last year, it lasted more than a year, crossed the Hexi to break through the siege of the Bank of China, crossed the river, crossed the snowy mountain, escaped the siege and interception of King Xiutu and King Kunxi, and entered the territory of the Western Regions! From the Loulan country to the west, through the Yanqi country, the Qiuzi country, the Gumo country, the Shule country to reach the territory of the Dayue clan, at this time the Dayue clan is fighting with the Xiongnu's vassal Wusun country! The minister and the Dayue clan concluded an alliance to flank the Xiongnu and helped them defeat Wusun before embarking on their way home! Then pass through the country of Shache, the country of Khotan, the country of Jingjue, and the end of the country back to the territory of the Xiongnu! ”

"The minister took the second prince of Loulan State, Fu Mi Camel, and the envoy of the Dayue clan, Hu Weishka, to break the siege of the Huns, and finally killed them on the west bank of the river! I just returned to the territory of my Dahan! After that, Li You held the Hanjie with both hands, and said loudly, "Minister Zhang Qian's mission has finally completed His Majesty's trust!" Today, I have come to pay the decree to Your Majesty! ”

When I think of the hardships and obstacles along the road, the majestic snow-capped mountains, the scorching desert, the murderous bandits, the cunning Huns, and the big men who died in foreign lands to protect him! Li You's eyes moistened, and there was a choked voice in his voice.

"Good! Good! Good! It's good to be back! Liu Che was also excited to help himself, he had already expected that the mission to the Western Regions would be full of difficulties and obstacles, but he didn't expect that there would be such difficulties, and Zhang Qian could complete the task so well! He took the Hanjie with both hands and looked at it carefully, the faded hair and mottled scepter seemed to lead him into a cruel fight.

"Your Majesty! The minister also drew a detailed map from Chang'an to the Great Moon Clan, which also recorded the customs and customs, material output, and the temperament of the people along the way! Li You put his hand into his arms, took out a pile of parchment and offered it to Liu Che again, "From now on, the generation from Hexi to the Western Regions has no secrets to my Han Dynasty!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Liu Che was so excited that he didn't know what to say now, Li You's surprise to him today was too great, he threw away the king's reserve, grabbed the map and looked at it quickly, just looked at it twice and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Aiqing, what else did you bring back to me?" ”

"The minister also brought back the head of the Bank of China for His Majesty! This person has repeatedly disturbed the overall situation of peace and proximity of our Han Dynasty, and instigated the Huns to invade the border passes! Now the traitor has been beheaded! The head is in the hands of the father outside the palace gate! Li You replied again.

"Well done! The Bank of China said that since this person voted for the Xiongnu when Emperor Wen was in power, he has done a lot of trouble to my Han Dynasty! Now Zhang Aiqing has beheaded him, this is another great achievement! The big man has been suffering from the Bank of China for a long time, and now that he heard that this big man's henchman has been killed, Liu Che's heart is extremely happy, "Quick, the father of the Ming Tang Dynasty will take the head of the Bank of China to the palace to meet him!" ”

"Your Majesty! The minister also brought back the second prince of Loulan Kingdom, Fu Mi Huo, and the envoy of the Dayue clan, Hu Weishka! And the covenant with the Otsuki clan! Li You told Liu Che the background of these two people again.

When he heard that he had kidnapped his prince in the palace of Loulan, Liu Che couldn't help laughing and praised him for his courage, "Also summon that Fumi camel and Huvishka into the palace!" No, summon all the members of the mission to the palace! I'm going to give them a feast! Meet these good boys of my big man! And those guests from the Western Regions! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also brought back the sweat and blood of the Dawan Kingdom, this horse is swift and unparalleled, can travel thousands of miles in a day, and travel eight hundred at night! If it is bred into a herd, my Han can have the fastest cavalry in the whole world! ”

"The minister also brought back alfalfa seeds from the Western Regions! Alfalfa is known as the king of pasture on the grassland, and all kinds of livestock and poultry like to eat it! The horse has eaten fat and strong! If we can plant a large area, my big horses will be more robust! ”

"The minister also brought back grapes, walnuts (walnuts), pomegranates, flax (sesame), beans (broad beans), cucumbers, garlic, carrots and other seeds from the Western Regions, which can help the people of the Han Dynasty eat more food! Let my world be less hungry and cold! ”

"The minister also brought back dozens of brave and good warriors who were familiar with the Huns! After this trip, each of them can at least be qualified for the military position of a hundred generals! With them as the guides of my Great Han, the army of the Great Han will be able to crisscross freely from Hexi to the Western Regions! ”

"The minister also brought it back" For a while, only Li You's voice was left in the Xuanshu Palace, and he told Liu Che about the harvest of his trip one by one, Liu Che and everyone in the hall listened to his words quietly, for fear of missing a word!

After a long time, Li You's voice stopped, and Liu Che waited until his excited mood calmed down a little before saying, "Zhang Aiqing and everyone in the mission have worked hard!" Today, I will wash the dust for you, and I will be rewarded in the future! ”

More than 200 members of the mission entered the Weiyang Palace, and the people of the Western Regions such as Fu Mi Camel and Hu Weishika were so shocked by this incomparably grand palace that they almost lost their voices, and they were still in a trance in front of Liu Che!

After the feast was over, everyone else was arranged to rest! Only Li You and his cousin's father were left behind, Liu Che stroked the Han Festival, and said loudly, "Summoning the three princes and nine kings and officials with more than 2,000 stones in Chang'an into the palace!" I'm going to talk to them about the Western Regions! ”

For a time, countless eunuchs rushed out of the palace and rushed to the mansions of the noble ministers! Chang'an was shaken!
