Chapter 36: Zheng Ji negotiated for the Western Regions


The atmosphere in Jianzhang Palace was very quiet, everyone stared at Zheng Ji with bated breath, Zheng Ji was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and thought, didn't know how to reply to Wei Xiang's question just now, hesitated."

It seems to me that the sage Shan needs a guarantee, at least I need to have a commitment to him."

Liu Xun seemed to see Zheng Ji's embarrassment, and thought about it in his heart.Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Xun, only to hear Liu Xun continue: "I can swear to heaven that the Huns who come to the Han have the same status as the Han people, as long as they are sincerely attached to it, they will not do treason and illegal things, and they will not be persecuted.In addition, those who came to surrender enjoyed the same title in the Han Dynasty according to their official rank in the Xiongnu. ”"Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that something will be wrong at this time."

Wei Xiang was the first to rise up to oppose Liu Xun's opinion, and the others seemed to disagree, but they were not as close as Wei Xiang and the emperor, so they didn't dare to speak."

Oh, what's wrong" Liu Xun didn't get angry, but asked lightly at Wei Xiang."

First, the court does not have so many official titles, and secondly, it is inconvenient for the court to provide too many idlers, if there are hundreds or even thousands of Huns brought by the sages who need to be given official titles, is Your Majesty also giving it, then what should we feel about the generals and court doctors who have not been awarded the title of marquis, I think everyone here has the honor of being awarded the title of marquis."

Wei Xiang said to Liu Xun at first, then turned his head to look at the other colleagues, and said.The other colleagues didn't speak, and it was difficult to say anything with their heads down, so it must be inappropriate to ask the emperor for a knighthood.Liu Xun saw the abnormality on everyone's faces, and thought about it.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Then only one person will be appointed by the sages, and the others will especially arrange by themselves, and we will provide land, tools, clothing, food, shelter and transportation, so that they can cultivate and support themselves." ”"Your Majesty's method is not a good way, and the minister thinks that the sage Shan and his subordinates can be arranged separately.Let the sages live in Chang'an, and the marquis and knight will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and their families will follow.Its subordinates can be arranged in the Western Regions, close to the canal and plough, those places are vast and sparsely populated, and they need people to reclaim, and secondly, they can also provide a place for the Huns to live and live. ”Zheng Ji looked at Liu Xun and said.Liu Xun looked at Zheng Ji and nodded approvingly, Zheng Ji continued: "Third, separating these people from the old master is also easy to manage and prevent changes.Fourth, put an end to the thoughts of the sages returning to the Xiongnu. ”"Well, then how should these people live in the Western Regions," Wei Xiang asked Zheng Ji."

The imperial court can provide some cloth, horses, breeding livestock, etc., but I don't know how much it will need," the official in charge of agriculture seemed to ask Zheng Ji."

It takes about 30,000 to 50,000 people to arrange this, and the imperial court allocates corresponding cloth and cattle and sheep for survival, and then lets them graze and breed on their own.The Western Regions has its own fertile pastures, which can be used for long-term settlement. ”Zheng Ji said to the man."

The general should give an accurate number, whether it is 30,000 or 50,000," the man seemed dissatisfied with Zheng Ji's answer, and continued."

It may need to be prepared according to the population of 100,000 or 200,000 people.This is the entire Rizhuwang tribe, according to our understanding of the strength of the Xiongnu, the strength of the Xianxian Shan is about 350,000, but most of these soldiers are dragged with their families, if calculated according to each soldier's family of four, 30,000 soldiers will be 120,000, and 50,000 will be 200,000.We can only consider this matter in many places, not in fewer places, otherwise it is easy to change. ”Zheng Ji spoke to the man.The man listened, nodded slightly, glanced at Liu Xun, and said: "According to the general's estimate, this is a large expense, such a large tribal migration, without tens of millions of silver, it is impossible to prepare, although the treasury has accumulated some treasury silver over the years, but if it is used here, there is no other place." ”Liu Xun understood the difficulties he was considering, and the person in charge of the economy naturally had to consider the overall state finance, but Liu Xun was still very clear in the face of the major rights and wrongs, and only heard Liu Xun say: "It's worth spending this money." ”All the ministers turned their eyes to Liu Xun and listened to him say the following.I only heard Liu Xun say: "The Japanese chase king is in the Western Regions, if he is attached to the Han Dynasty, then the Xiongnu will have no influence in the Western Regions, then my Han can basically control the Western Regions, from a strategic point of view, it is completely worth spending this money, not only that, but we also have to find a way to take over the sages and others as soon as possible to prevent changes." ”"In this way, Wei Xiang, a few of you are in charge of financial scheduling, Zheng Ji, you will quickly return to the Western Regions to prepare to welcome the sages to return to the Han, you take my handwritten letter, secretly contact the sages Shan, and try to persuade the sages to return to the Han through Princess Quge.As for the princess, I can come back with you. ”Liu Xun seemed to be a little tired and said to everyone."

Zheng Ji takes the order.""

No.""

Someone, pen and ink waiting."

Liu Xun said to the eunuch, and the eunuch immediately came over with pen and ink, and laid a white silk in front of Liu Xun, so Liu Xun dipped the ink and swiped a few strokes on the paper.When he finished writing, he blew the white silk, covered it with a jade seal, and handed it to the eunuch, who took it and passed it to Zheng Ji, who was seated down."

Alright, let's go down if it's okay."

Liu Xun said to everyone tiredly."

No."

Everyone got up one after another, bowed to Liu Xun and then withdrew from Jianzhang Palace, Zheng Ji held the white silk to say goodbye to Liu Xun, and then turned around with the white silk, he was so respectful when he went down to the palace, and when he got out of the palace gate, the sun probably had dried the pen and ink on the white silk, and Zheng Ji carefully rolled it up and put it into the cuffs.Day by day, Feng Shu's body has recovered very quickly these days, at this moment he is waiting for the messenger from the south, and he doesn't know who will be sent, Feng Shu thinks that it should not be an ordinary person, after all, such a big matter, not everyone can handle it.In a blink of an eye, it has been several months, the weather is beginning to turn cooler, autumn has arrived, most of the pastures of the Huns are withered and yellow, a few sparse horses are grazing on the pasture, and from time to time there are shepherd boys driving the white sheep pasture.These days, Huo Yang's swordsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated, this kid is hardworking, and he has something hidden in his heart, but Feng Shu sees it in his eyes but is helpless."

Mother, someone from the Han Dynasty is coming, uncle, please come over."

Huo Yang suddenly ran over and said to Feng Shu.Feng Shu was shocked in her heart, she came, she really came.Without saying a word, he ran towards the sage's tent.At this moment, Xianxian Shan was entertaining Zheng Ji in the tent, and when he heard Zheng Ji say that he could take Feng Shu back, Xianxian Shan thought that he should call her over, which was good news.Feng Shu trotted into the tent in a hurry, and two familiar faces came into view, the one who lived in the upper seat was the sage Shan she had seen every day these days, and the one who lived in the lower seat was him.This is something Feng Shu didn't expect.looked at Zheng Ji in a daze, Feng Shu originally had a thousand words in his heart, but at this moment, he seemed to be unable to say a word.Just quietly looking at each other.I haven't seen her for a long time, and when I saw Feng Shu again, I found that the woman in front of me was old, and a few strands of gray hair seemed to appear on both sideburns.The fiery eyes of the two looked at the eyes of Xianxian Shan and Huo Yang on the side, Xianxian Shan smiled slightly, he had always known that she had him in her heart, at the moment when she fell off the cliff and her life and death were unknown, she kept repeating that it was not the person named Zheng Ji who kept repeating the shouting, she had gone to the Western Regions desperately to save this Zheng Ji, and now she can find a home, find the person she has been thinking about, Xianxian Shan thought that she should be happy for her.Huo Yang stood aside a little confused, after all, he didn't know Zheng Ji, but looking at his mother's reaction, it was probably a very familiar old man, could it be an old man who had not been seen for many years When Huo Yang was thinking like this, Zheng Ji probably noticed the unusual aura in the tent, calmed down, bowed slightly and saluted Feng Shu and said, "The minister and guard Sima Zheng Ji see the princess." ”Feng Shu probably also noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was a little abnormal, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "The general is exempt." ”So he lowered his head and walked to the right side of the sage Shan and sat cross-legged.Xianxian Shan smiled slightly, and said to Feng Shu, who was a little embarrassed: "Brother Zheng came this time to take you back." ”Feng Shu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Ji, with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes.Zheng Ji met Feng Shu's longing gaze and nodded, indicating that what Xian Xian Shan said was right.After Feng Shu got Zheng Ji's response, she was happy and scared in her heart, happy that she could finally go home, finally get out of the sea of suffering, and finally be able to accompany Zheng Ji always, but what she was afraid of was that Huo Yang could go back and what would happen after he went back, which Feng Shu couldn't predict.In addition, she is also worried about whether she can return to Zheng Ji, maybe she can't go back for a long time, maybe her life will end that day, so why bother to have anything to do with him again, it will only add trouble.This subtle change in her heart was hidden in Feng Shu's heart, but it was still seen by the sharp-eyed sages Shan and Zheng Ji.I only heard Zheng Ji say: "The princess seems to have doubts, you might as well say it directly, Zheng Ji can do as much as possible to help the princess." ”Xian Xianshan glanced at Zheng Ji and then at Feng Shu, he probably knew what she was worried about, so he didn't say anything and just watched quietly."

No, nothing."

These words were hidden in Feng Shu's heart, and they were indescribable, how could she say them.Zheng Ji didn't know why, he just looked at Feng Shu in a daze, not knowing what was going on."

Just take us back, what about chasing the king that day," Feng Shu asked Zheng Ji.Xianxian Shan originally didn't know that Feng Shu sent a letter to the Han court saying that he had returned to the Han Dynasty, so that when Zheng Ji came to say it, he was still a little surprised, but at this moment, seeing Feng Shu's reaction, compared to this matter, she must have done it, but she didn't feel unhappy, after all, according to the current situation of the Huns, Tu Jitang might have been ready to make a move against the Japanese king.Originally, Xianxian Shan was also thinking about what Feng Shu said, but it was not good to send someone to talk, after all, this kind of tail wagging and begging thing had to be done decently to have the capital to talk to the other party, otherwise, I was afraid that there would be no good result if I went.Therefore, the sages of Shan have to wait, second, to be fast, and third, to make the fullest plan for the future of their tribe.aa2705221:
