Chapter 360: Bo Wanghou
"Oh?"
It was the first time Jian Ruocheng had heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "You seem to have mentioned it before, knowing her father. β
Jian Tongguang said: "I just know, but I don't know." β
"Her father isβ"
"Her father, Si Zhongwen, is the Honglu Temple Qing of Emperor Gao's dynasty."
"Oh!"
Jian Ruocheng's eyes widened slightly-speaking of which, Nanyan can also be regarded as a young lady of the official eunuch's family, and Honglu Siqing is an official of the four products, and he is in charge of Siyi tribute, feasting, giving, sending greetings, etc., and his power is not small.
Especially, in the vicinity of the Yan Country, there are so many neighboring countries.
But he thought about itβ
"Emperor Gao's Honglu Temple? And he's nowβ"
"It's long gone."
"Oh......"
Jian Tongguang sighed and said, "Even if you are old, I'm afraid that Nanyan, this girl, lost her father when she was very young." β
ββ¦β¦β
Jian Ruocheng's brows couldn't help frowning.
He remembered that Nanyan seemed to have mentioned this matter before.
When he was in Shang Baosi, he once asked Nanyan if she would like to go home, and Nanyan told him that she was not willing to go home because the people in the family treated her badly.
Her eldest mother even wanted to marry her to a man in his fifties as a concubine.
It seems that her life is really hard.
He frowned and thought for a while, and said, "So, after her father passed away, no one in her family has re-entered the ranks?" β
"It seems that it should be like this," Jian Tongguang said, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity." β
"Pity? What a pity? β
"It's a pity that the brothers of the Si family were famous back then, but now their children and grandchildren can't even go abroad."
"Brother Si? Could it be that Nanyan's father still has a brother? β
Jian Tongguang said: "Speaking of that person, he is very famous - of course, it is also unknown to you children." β
Jian Ruocheng said: "Father tell me. β
Jian Tongguang said: "The boss of the Si family, that is, Nanyan's uncle, is named Si Boyan, he has never been an official, nor has he made any meritorious achievements, but he was named Bowang Hou by Emperor Gao. β
"Bo Wanghou?"
Hearing this name, Jian Ruocheng was shocked.
Of course, he is not unfamiliar with this name, because as long as you have read history books, you know that the first person to go to the Western Regions and walk out of the Silk Road that has been shining in history for thousands of years was named Bowang Marquis by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After that, no one was named Bowang Marquis.
The word Bowang represents a nation's determination and courage to explore the outside world and defy hardships and dangers.
Jian Ruocheng said softly: "Uncle Si Nanyan, is the Marquis of Bowang who was enshrined by Emperor Gao?" He, what did he do? β
Jian Tongguang said: "You also know that before Emperor Gao founded the country, our country was invaded by the Yan country, they not only occupied a large area of land in the Central Plains, but also blocked the northwest passage, and the Silk Road was cut off by them. β
"Could it be that Bo Wanghou has re-walked the Silk Road?"
"That's right," Jian Tongguang nodded, and said, "And it was during the war that he re-walked the Silk Road and established contacts with some small countries in the Western Regions. At that time, Si Zhongwen was also with his brother. Because of their two brothers, those small countries sent troops to help, so that Emperor Gao finally drove the soldiers and horses of the Qi Kingdom out of the Central Plains. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Jian Ruocheng was dumbfounded when she heard this.
He didn't expect that one person could play such a big role.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Then, what about this Bowang Marquis?" β
Jian Tongguang glanced at him and said, "It's gone." β
