Tangquan Palace seems to exist forever in the zài and mist, and the steaming water vapor rises into the sky. It can be seen clearly from more than ten miles away, and Liu Qi lives in this fairyland-like place all day long.

According to aerodynamics, Yun Xiao thinks that Liu Qi will be faster even if he hangs here in the sky.

I want to see this cheap old man again, Yun Xiao's heart is ten thousand unwilling, but he has to see it. The mood is simply complicated to death, from the initial fear. to the later evasion, to the present there is a trace of guilt.

The eldest girl who has been raised for more than ten years has grown from more than a foot to a slim girl. was abducted home by a wild boy, and they still fight together every day. This seems to be the reason why all the fathers-in-law have resentment towards their sons-in-law.

And when the son-in-law got someone else's daughter, he was somewhat embarrassed. Seeing the old man, he was naturally a little restrained, this is the complicated relationship between Weng and his son-in-law.

At the gate of the palace, the expressionless Qiandu was still greeted, this thing was simply a strange person, and there was no sound when he walked. If it weren't for Tian Wei pulling Yun Xiao's sleeve, Yun Xiao, who was outside the world, would not have noticed the arrival of the first celebrity of the Han Dynasty.

There is a hot spring under the Ganlu Temple, and it is estimated that this is the prototype of floor heating. The temperature in the hall was very high, so high that it was quite cold in the early spring when the windows had to be opened.

Liu Qi was lying on the couch, and Wang Wan was sitting in front of him. This old guy's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't get out of bed in the spring when everything is growing.

Yun Xiao and Tian Wei glanced at each other, and bowed to the two most powerful people in the Han Dynasty.

"Chen Yunxiao." "Chentian Wei."

"On the order of His Majesty, I went to Donghu to send off my relatives, and I asked His Majesty to ...... on my mission."

Yun Xiao and Tian Wei chattered about the words that they had already memorized. These are all fixed formats. Honglu Temple's special rites are for all dignitaries to study.

"Flat, they're not outsiders. Lift me up. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand, which was regarded as a waiver for the two of them.

Wang Wan helped Liu Qi sit up, and Yun Xiao and Tian Wei were startled. In just a few months, Liu Qi was so thin that his cheeks were deflated, and the black satin clothes were dangling on his body, and it looked like he had thinned into a pair of ribs.

"How about going to the Western Regions to see and hear, you guys are slowly talking and listening."

It seems that Liu Qi has always attached great importance to the Western Regions, and even if he is so ill, he still summons Yun Xiao and others to inquire about the situation in the Western Regions. For the people of the early Han Dynasty, the Western Regions was a mysterious place. There are all kinds of legends circulating in the world of the Han Dynasty. People's imagination is used to the extreme.

On land in the West. The legend of King Zhou Mu's meeting with the Queen Mother of the West is very eye-catching. There are even speakers like Sima Jizhu who tell the details in great detail, as if he was watching from his side when they first met.

And there are still three overseas immortal mountains floating on the eastern sea, and the abbot, Penglai, and Yingzhou are still the immortal residences that people fantasize about. It is said that there was a former dynasty Xu Fu who went to sea, and he has not returned because he was enlightened by immortals and turned into immortals.

Overall, Liu Qi is still a qualified monarch. His quest for the Western Regions was not motivated by the search for an elixir of life. Rather, it was out of the practical needs of the Han Empire. The Huns in Mobei are licking their wounds. They will rush out of the Mobei grassland at any time and deal a heavy blow to the Han. Their flanking lines must be threatened, and nothing is known about the flanking man.

"陛xià. The minister went west this time. Attacked by the Huns, he was besieged in Wuwei City for more than 20 days. Later, with the help of the king of Donghu, he drove away the Huns. Escorting the princess to Zhangye to complete the marriage, the king of Donghu died violently on the wedding night. Now the king of Donghu is the youngest son of the king of Donghu, and the princess is still the queen of Donghu......"

"Oh, King Donghu has died violently. Letting you go out is really going to go wrong, I heard that before the princess's wedding. There was also a rebellion in Donghu, but there was such a thing? ”

Liu Qi's question made Yun Xiao break out in a cold sweat, this old boy's information was too accurate. His mother even knew about Zalandin and Zabulhei's rebellion. Yun Xiao didn't even tell Tian Wei about this matter, how did he know. Do you say that there are fine works in your team? This is terrible, the people I brought to Zhangye are all people who think they can trust.

"The great prince of Donghu, Zalandin, and the great general Sabulhei, were instigated by the Huns. and the support of the Queen Mother, intending to launch judgment. Unexpectedly, the planning was not well planned, and he was detected by the generals under the king of Donghu. The king of Donghu raised an army to exterminate him. ”

Yun Xiao told the truth and didn't hide anything. Because it is obvious that Liu Qi already knows what happened. There is no need to hide it, but it is just hidden that John is also his father-in-law. If Liu Qi even knew about this matter, then the number of suspected spies would be very limited.

"Oh, that's it. Go on......"

"No, the minister learned that there are other countries in the west besides Donghu, such as Yueshi, Loulan, Rouran, Dawan, and Wusun. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and often a city is a country. A country like Donghu, which uses three more cities, is already considered a big country.

In addition, there are many Qiang people south of Donghu. These Qiang people still live a very primitive life, and it is almost the same to say that Ru Mao drinks blood. They are linked by tribes, and large forms tribal alliances. Although the mind is simple, it is better to be brave and fierce. I am afraid that it will be another great disaster for my Han in the future. ”

"I heard that you plundered more than 10,000 Qiang people back, it seems that their combat power is not very strong."

Wang Wan saw that Liu Qi was a little out of breath when he spoke, and immediately picked up a pillow to make Liu Qi more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, the minister means that their minds are not open. He doesn't know how to use a bow or arrow. If they are open-minded and learn the things of the Han family. In less than a hundred years, it will become a problem for my big man. ”

Yun Xiao was not alarmist, thinking about the damage that Tubo had inflicted on the powerful Tang Empire. You will know how much of a threat they will pose to the Central Plains Dynasty when the people on the plateau are no longer ignorant.

"The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and I am a big tree that manages my son and grandchildren. The affairs of the descendants will be handed over to the successor king, and you will only sue the emperor. In the next thirty or fifty years, will those Qiang people become the climate? ”

"Qi Gong Xià, the minister estimates that it will be difficult for the Qiang people to pose a substantial threat to the Han Dynasty within a hundred years."

"In that case, then leave them alone. You just have to tell the prince about these things.

What kind of countries are you talking about other than Donghu, and what is their strength? Can it become my Han's arm to cut off the trouble of the Huns? ”

According to the minister's knowledge, the Huns are also sparing no effort to win over and even suppress the countries of the Western Regions. The Huns have fought wars with Yueshi, Rouran, and Wusun, and each time the Huns won. The countries of the Western Regions hated and feared the Huns, and if the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions were on good terms, then the flanks of the Huns would no longer be safe.

However, the minister always believed that the Huns should be encroached on step by step. Extending the Great Wall to the territory of the Xiongnu, after more than ten years or even more than 100 years of operation, the Xiongnu people will be completely separated. The cavalry of the Huns lost their ability to maneuver and were not at all an opponent of the Han infantry.

Second, we should also vigorously develop trade with the countries of the Western Regions. It can not only bring a large amount of taxes to the imperial court, but also exchange the things of the Han family for horses in the Western Regions. The minister went to see Dawan horse this time, and the minister thought that the Xiongnu horse was the best horse in the world. But as soon as he saw Dawan Ma, the minister immediately decided to sell the Xiongnu horses. The minister sent an envoy this time and brought back fifty horses to present to His Majesty. ”

It is a fine tradition of Chinese people to come back from a long trip to bring some souvenirs to their families. A cadre of Liu Qi's level has a very high vision, and Yun Xiao has no choice but to take out fifty Dawan good horses to present to his father-in-law.

This autumn, Yin Yin will send a large number of horses. At the time of the Dao, the cavalry of the Yun family will be transferred to the excellent Dawan horse. As for those Hun horses in their hands, they must be able to sell them for a good price.

"You have a heart, I'm afraid I can't ride this body. You still send it to the prince, he is young, and it is time to learn to ride and shoot. Let your generals teach him more, and the prince of the Han family can not only rule the country with a pen. You also have to be able to go to Ma Anbang, Nangong is already in charge of your house. You, who are brothers-in-law, have to deal with the prince a lot. cough cough cough ......"

Liu Qi coughed violently, and Wang Wan hurriedly rubbed his back. (To be continued......)
