Chapter 33: Jasmine is pregnant
Dongfang Shuo and his entourage flew back to the capital, and Dongfang Shuo immediately rushed to Weiyang Palace regardless of the fatigue of the road, and reported all the news he had found to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The emperor was extremely pleased, and he immediately rewarded Dongfang Shuo.
After listening to the report, the emperor immediately posted a notice to reward capable people with lofty ideals who were willing to go out of the fortress.
Zhang Qian, a native of Hanzhong, unveiled the list, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian to lead more than 100 entourages and find a Hun as a guide to set off from Chang'an to the Western Regions as an envoy. Zhang Qian wanted to unite with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu to "break the right arm of the Huns", eliminate the Xiongnu together, and bring back the technology of steel-making knives. However, when Zhang Qian and his entourage walked to the Hexi Corridor, they unfortunately encountered the Huns' cavalry and were all captured. The kings of the Xiongnu on the right will immediately send Zhang Qian and others to the Xiongnu royal court (in present-day Mongolia), where they will see the military minister Shan Yu (the son of Lao Shangshan Yu), and then everyone will be imprisoned. For a period of time, the surveillance of the Xiongnu gradually relaxed, and Zhang Qian took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Xiongnu to lead his retinue and escaped from the area controlled by the Xiongnu. However, during his stay in the Xiongnu, the situation in the Western Regions had changed. Wusun, the enemy of the Yue clan, attacked the Yue clan westward with the support and instigation of the Xiongnu, and the Yue people were forced to continue to move west from the Ili River valley into the Fushui region near the Aral Sea, conquer Bactria and build another home on the new land. Zhang Qian probably understood this situation, after passing through the chariot division, he did not go to the Ili River valley in the northwest, but turned to the southwest, entered Yanqi, and then traced the Tarim River to the west, passed Kucha, Shule and other places, crossed the green mountains, and went directly to Dawan (now Fergana Basin, Uzbekistan), after Zhang Qian arrived in Dawan, he explained to the king of Dawan his mission to the Yue clan and various encounters along the way, hoping that Dawan could send someone to send him, and said that if he could return to the Han Dynasty in the future, he would definitely play the Han Emperor, send him a lot of property, and be rewarded. King Dawan had long heard of the wealth of the Han Dynasty in the East, and wanted to communicate with the Han Dynasty, but he was hindered by the middle stalk of the Xiongnu and failed to achieve it. The unexpected arrival of the Han envoy made him very happy. Zhang Qian's words made him even more moved. So he agreed to Zhang Qian's request, and after warm hospitality, he sent guides and interpreters to send Zhang Qian and others to Kangju (in present-day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan), and King Kangju sent people to send them to Dayueshi, but unfortunately Zhang Qian was imprisoned by the Xiongnu again.
Zhang Qian's level is thirteen years. At the beginning of the third year of Yuan Shuo, the Xiongnu had civil strife for the throne, and Zhang Qian took the opportunity to flee back to Chang'an with his cousin's father. When they set off, there were more than 100 people, and when they returned, only Zhang Qian and Tangyi's father were left. However, the actual impact and historical role of Zhang Qian's expedition are enormous.
Zhang Qian represented the first official mission of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, so that the influence of the Han Dynasty reached the west of the Green Mountains. Since then, not only have the ties between the Western Regions and the mainland been strengthened, but also China's direct exchanges with Central Asia, West Asia, and even Southern Europe have also been established and intensified, which is the original "Belt and Road". It can be said that Zhang Qian is the pioneer of the ancient Silk Road, Zhang Qian is the pioneer of the Silk Road, and is known as "the first Chinese to open their eyes to the world". He spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, and introduced species such as sweat horses, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates, and flax from the countries of the Western Regions to the Central Plains, promoting the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very satisfied with the results of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and specially named Zhang Qian as the doctor of Taizhong, and awarded his father Tangyi the title of "Feng Envoy Jun" in recognition of their achievements.
That's all for later, and we'll talk about it later.
After unremitting efforts, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally brought the technology of the Xiongnu steel-making knife to the Han Dynasty through other means, and completely solved the weapon problem. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu with all the materials and soldiers and horses--- grain, grass, weapons, cavalry, capable people, and generals were all ready, Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi with the assistance of several apprentices of Dongfang Shuo, and trained a powerful Han Dynasty super army.
A good day was chosen, and a grand ceremony was held. The emperor worshiped Wei Qing as a general, Huo Qubing as a hussar general, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had made up his mind, and his heart was like a rock, he was always ready to go to war against the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu at this time were indifferent to the vigorous development of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was waiting for the opportunity to fight several battles with the Xiongnu, and he wanted to completely defeat the Xiongnu and establish a unified and powerful China from south to north and from west to east, and this great ideal was to be realized!
After Jasmine and Chunsheng returned to the capital, Jasmine's mother Zhang Yiduo was very sensitive, and she found some subtle changes in Jasmine's body, although it was not obvious, but she was still very worried. So she secretly found a Lang Zhong to check Jasmine's pulse, and as expected, she took the happy pulse, which made her panicked, surprised, and dissatisfied.
Panicked that Jasmine suddenly became pregnant before she got married, which was a very shameful thing in ancient times, how did she explain to Jasmine's master and father? She, as a mother, did not take good care of her daughter; she was surprised that her sisters had always been infertile for many years, but this Jasmine was very pregnant, and she was very happy thinking that she would soon be going to be a grandmother; she was dissatisfied that this Chunsheng was so careless, so sloppy, and did not come to discuss with her, and even let Jasmine conceive a child without getting married, which is worth it! She tossed and turned, stayed awake all night, and then decided that she still had to find Jasmine's master, Dongfang Shuo, to make a move.
As soon as the morning dawned, she found Mr. Dongfang Shuo, and then told Dongfang Shuo about Jasmine's pregnancy. Because Dongfang Shuo had already heard and witnessed the matter of the two of them being boyfriends and girlfriends, he was not as calm as Yihua when he came to him about it.
He said lightly: "Since the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, what can we do? It is better to push the boat with the water, you and I are in charge, and then find a person with some fame to witness the marriage, and we will handle the marriage in a low-key manner." It's simple and trouble-free, and it saves you trouble in the future. ”
Yiduo also felt that it was a solution, so he said: "Let Chunsheng take me and Jasmine back to Jiangnan for a trip, he can do spells, and he can go to Jiangnan in one day on the green blanket, I will discuss it with Jasmine and his father, if he has no opinion, we will marry them when he comes back, do you think this is good?"
Dongfang Shuo felt that Zhang Yiduo was really a smart woman, so he said, "Okay, let's do it." ”
Zhang Yiduo found Chunsheng and Jasmine, and then asked the two of them to kneel, so he was angry and said with a black line: "You two are so bold, you don't have the words of a matchmaker, and you don't have the permission of your parents, you will make a private decision for life, and it will be against you!"
Chunsheng kowtowed first and said repeatedly, "Mother, it's my fault." Mother, you will fulfill us" Chunsheng is a mother, a mother, Jasmine also pulled Zhang Yiduo's dress to pretend to be pitiful, Zhang Yiduo looked at them, and her heart melted.
Zhang Yiduo said: "Okay, I'll spare you! Get up! I've told your master that tonight Chunsheng will take my Jasmine back to Jiangnan quietly to meet Jasmine's father, and he has to agree to this family affair. ”
Jasmine was very happy, because she could finally see her father, and she and Chunsheng had not seen her father for many years, and of course she and Chunsheng agreed immediately.
In the middle of the night, there was no one, Zhang Yiduo, Chunsheng and Jasmine took simple luggage and took the green leaf blanket to Jiangnan Jasmine's hometown.
When I fell into the courtyard, it was almost dawn. Zhang Yiduo knocked on the window, Hao Xibo heard Zhang Yiduo's call outside the window, hurriedly lit a candle, and opened the door to greet him.
As soon as she opened the door, before she could see the situation clearly, Jasmine suddenly threw herself into her father's arms and shouted, "Father, my mother and I have come back to see you." When Hao Xibo heard this, tears fell from the ground.
