When everything was in place, I could finally rest.

This battle really made me feel that it is not easy for the emperor, such a large-scale war, once lost, I may not be able to relax in the end. Now that I think about the whole process, I can't help but be afraid.

At this time, far away on the border between Huli and the Xiongnu in the north of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, there was a young Xiongnu man in a big tent looking at the sheepskin in his hand with a frown.

The above record is a series of events such as the disappearance of Toumandanyu, the destruction of the two Mu'er Wanda, and the flight of the Hedu Department to the north.

A majestic Hun man next to him said to the young man: "Prince Maodun, it seems that Prince Heda is more than lucky, and now Toumandan's whereabouts are unknown, what should we do?" ”

This person is actually Mao Dun Shan Yu, who killed his father Mandanyu in history, unified more than 20 countries in the entire grassland, and occupied most of the Western Regions!

In history, he happened to kill the head Manshan Yu in the first year of Qin II, just in time for the troubled times of the Central Plains, and took this opportunity to quickly annex Hujiao, Donghu, and most of the Western Regions, and established a steppe empire that started from Yinshan in the south, reached Lake Baikal in the north, reached the Liao River in the east, and crossed the green mountains in the west, and the nomads have threatened the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 2,000 years!

As in history, Tou Manshan Yu still doesn't like him, preferring Heda; What is different is that Touman Danyu did not let him stay with him, but drove him to the extreme west of the Xiongnu to conquer Huqi when he was just an adult.

Mao Dun put down the sheepskin in his hand, and his eyes were slightly condensed: "I have been left out here for ten years, so I am not in a hurry for this time." I'd better wait for news from my good brother and father before making plans! ”

As for me, of course, I will not forget such a fierce man, I once asked Meng Tian and Wang Li, and they said that they had never heard of such a prince in the Xiongnu. Mao Dun left the Wolf Court as soon as he became an adult, and he was not favored by Tou Mandan, so ten years later, almost no one remembered him, and they all thought that he died in Huqi.

Besides, in this timeline, people, events and history have changed too much, no one has ever mentioned the name Maoton, so I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that in this timeline, Maoton has become Heda, which is not recorded in history.

In Xianyang City, I have already taken Meng He to Zhongding Pavilion in a leisurely manner.

At this time, it was almost June, and there was still no news from Zhang Wei.

When I arrived at Zhongding Pavilion, I hadn't yet arrived, and I found that there was no one and went to Wanli Xiang in the middle.

Sure enough, Yinglan and Xiao Yong, Li Qing, and Xiang are all there, and Ba Ling is also there.

Seeing me coming, several people hurriedly saluted, and Li Qing and Xiao Yong were obviously a little nervous.

I wondered: "Xiao Yong, Li Qing, why are you a little trembling?" ”

The two glanced at each other, Li Qing was elder, and took the lead in speaking: "The villain doesn't know that the adult is Your Majesty, and I have offended many times before, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

I was stunned for a moment and glanced at Yinglan.

Yinglan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, they went to the city gate yesterday to welcome the return of the army......

It dawned on me that I had gone to see the excitement.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm out to be distracted, you can still call me an adult. Looks like I'm going to put on a cloak when I go out in the future. ”

When a few people heard this, they immediately relaxed, and the atmosphere in the store was not so tense.

I looked at Ba Ling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said, "There are many people here, let's go and sit in the backyard." ”

Li Qing and Xiao Yong took the initiative to take on the task of looking after the store, and I smiled slightly and did not force it.

When they arrived at the back hall and sat down, Yinglan poured a glass of water for everyone.

"Baling, what do you want to say?"

When Baling heard me take the initiative to ask, he quickly got up and saluted solemnly for the first time.

"Your Majesty, do you have any news for my sister?"

I put down the glass and shook my head: "Not yet, logically speaking, it's been more than a year, and it's time to come back." ”

Hearing this, Baling sat down disappointed, his brow furrowed.

I looked at her, a seventeen-year-old girl, who had been alone in Xianyang City for only a year, and she had matured a lot, thinking that Tao Yao had not been away from home for so long before, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already ordered all counties along the way, if there is news from the mission, it will be transmitted back as soon as possible." ”

Ba Ling saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Looking at Xiang again, the wounds on her neck had been healed, leaving only a few faint pink scars, and the little girl was full of energy.

"Do you know how to speak Guanzhong?"

Xiang nodded: "I can talk about it." ”

"Do you have a surname?"

Xiang shook his head.

I pondered for a moment and said, "The surname is the foundation of a person, I can't help you pick it at will, and you can take your husband's surname when you grow up and get married." However, it is quite inconvenient to call a single name and a Hunan character, so how about I help you come up with a name? ”

Xiang smiled and nodded, with two missing side front teeth.

"However, a wave of Xiangshui, shaking Xiangyun, since you were born in Nanjun, how about naming Xiangyun?"

Xiang glanced at Yinglan, who smiled and nodded.

"Okay, thank you...... Your Majesty. ”

Seeing Xiangyun saluting like Ba Ling, everyone immediately laughed, with such an eight-year-old girl here, Yinglan's life would not be too boring.

After a few small talks, I drank my saliva and got down to business.

"Baling, do you still have an impression of the tea I told you about last time?"

Baling nodded, and I had promised to give them the trade in porcelain and tea.

"I originally wanted to wait until your sister came back to do this, but the embassy has not been able to hear from the embassy for a long time, and the porcelain has begun to be fired on a large scale, so I want to leave the tea making matter to you, what do you think?"

Baling hesitated for a moment: "This ...... I have never been in contact with it, lest I miss His Majesty's important affairs. ”

I laughed and said, "It's okay, you just have to do it the way I do." Your family's business is all over Daqin, it's just for people to try it, if it doesn't work, wait for Tao Yao to come back and make arrangements. ”

Baling thought for a while: "That's fine, there is also a housekeeper Uncle Qi at home, he can help me." ”

I took out the "Book of Tea" made by Lu Yu from my arms and handed it to her.

"You just need to follow each of the chapters above, which has detailed instructions on the distribution of tea, the characteristics of various tea leaves in different seasons, how to roast tea, make tea, boil tea, taste tea, and so on. Stir-fry the tea leaves first, as for boiling tea and tasting tea, and at the same time arrange some smart women to learn, and when the time comes, you can take the lead in Taoge and Zhongding Pavilion to try it, and I will also help you in the imperial court. ”

Baling took it and asked curiously, "Your Majesty is so familiar with tea?" This tea sutra was made by His Majesty? ”

I shook my head and said with a smile: "I rarely go out of Xianyang, where can I write such a strange book." It's just that I met a great talent by chance, and he also gave me this book, hoping that I will carry forward the tea drinking culture for him. ”

"The Book of Tea" is only more than 7,000 words, with Qi Wan ghostwriting, and the seven things have been deleted, so there are not many words.

Ying Lan snickered: "Your Majesty can always meet strange people, or have some strange dreams. ”

I smiled awkwardly, I was running out of these two excuses.

There's no way, stealing the hard work of my predecessors has made me feel deeply guilty, and if I shamelessly attribute it to myself, it would be too shameless, and I can only make up some origins......
