In late April of the first two years, Ren Hong and his entourage left Khotan for hundreds of miles west, crossed Pishan, and entered the territory of Yache.As the largest river in the Western Regions, the Yerkand River originates between the Karakoram and Kunlun Mountains in the Pamir Plateau.After rushing out of the Ten Thousand Mountains, it entered the southwest end of the Taklamakan Desert and moistened the Shache Oasis with snow water, which made the Shache look up to Kunlun in the south and Hanhai in the north.The appearance and language of the Shache people were similar to those of Khotan, with mud walls, thatched cowsheds and sheepfolds, and occasional children standing barefoot at the gate of the courtyard, curiously looking at the soapy yellow flag and the proud horsemen of the guards.Then he was dragged back by the frightened adults, and he hid in the reeds in a panic.In the past whole generation, the people who passed by Shache were often Xiongnu servants and school captains, and those Huns not only extorted gold, but also rode into the village when they were thirsty and hungry along the way, and even killed people and raped and plundered women, and the Shache people dared not speak out.But the soldiers of Ren Dadu were much friendlier, and the food basically relied on the dried naan they brought, and occasionally they wanted to eat the head sheep, and they also exchanged silk silk, which made the Shache people a little incredible, and it was the first time to see such a kind Shangguo mission.Of course, the quality of the Han army in the Western Regions, which is mainly composed of light chivalrous and evil boys, is not so high, and it all depends on Ren Duhu's orders: "The Han is different from the Xiongnu, in the Western Regions, it is construction rather than destruction, and those who dare to rape and commit rape and plunder will be beheaded according to military law!"
Thou hast remembered!
”The news spread faster than they could advance, so that the number of chariot people who offered to send cattle and sheep to exchange silk silk on the roadside increased, and the unmarried girls pointed at the brightly colored robes and armor of the guards, and their eyebrows were dyed with dark grass juice, becoming "even eyebrows".Because there is a saying in Khotan and Shache, the closer the two eyebrows, the closer they will marry, and if the eyebrows are connected, they will marry their neighbors, and they will never be taken away by the Huns and the Western Nights who often come out to plunder in the mountains.According to this theory, the princess of King Shache probably forgot about the thrush, so she married far away and became the wife of Liu Wannian, the prince of Wusun.And the old Shache king, who has no son, seems to want to entrust himself to the Han and want to win the heart of Wusun, that is, he wrote to ask Wannian to be the prince of Shache.At the beginning, the imperial court consulted Ren Hong on this matter, and he strongly opposed it, but Huo Guang agreed in order to win over Wusun.Only then did Wusun completely fall to the Han Dynasty and carry the Huns to death, which led to a fiasco, and the fat king was assassinated and died.But also because of that war, Liu Wannian led more than 1,000 Shacha soldiers to aid Chigu City, although he did not participate in the fierce battle, but he had a good reputation for his achievements.This made the Han more important to him, and he was included in the clan with Yaoguang.No, the old Shache King died of illness at the beginning of spring, and Liu Wannian took over the throne, after all, he was given the surname Liu, which is different from the general King Hu of the Western Regions, and Liu Yi of Chang'an has specially written a book.In the round Shache town, in the royal palace surrounded by vineyards, Ren Hong was on official business, and in front of the ministers of Shache and thousands of Shache people outside, he was canonized on behalf of the Son of Heaven for ten thousand years."
The Son of Heaven gave advice: Woohoo!
The boy was ten thousand years old, subject to the Zixuan Society, Jian'er country, sealed in the western soil, and the world was the Han Dynasty.Alack!
Although Shache has the tribute of the king's will, but the three generations of deserted clothes, not as good as Yizheng, Xi'er heart, only conscientious, but Hui Naishun!
”After reading, Rang Zhong took the old ribbon seal from Liu Wannian's hands, and Ren Hong awarded the new camel button ribbon seal.This is one of the duties of the protector, and now there are two provinces in the north and south of the Western Regions, where there are fifty countries, not only fifty kings and marquis have Han seals.The self-translator, the city chief, the county, the supervisor, the Dalu, the hundred chief, the thousand chief, the captain, the canal, the household, the general, the minister, all three hundred and seventy-six people, all with Han seals.And whenever there is a succession and replacement of the throne in a country, it is necessary to send an envoy to the emperor of the Han Dynasty to replace the seal ribbon, so that if it is a smooth inheritance, it is fine, once there is a subordinate usurping the throne and the attitude is not pro-Han, what is waiting for is not the envoy of the protector, but the army of the teacher and the guilt!
There are not many officials in the Shache country, and there is an auxiliary marquis named "Hu Tu Zheng", who is the younger brother of the old Shache King, and there are one left and right general, one left and right horseman, one Beixi Yejun, and two captains.They all came to visit Ren Hong, but Ren Hong immediately discovered the problem: among the important ministers of Shache, only one Shache person was recruited by the Marquis of Fuguo, and the rest were all Wusun people, or Han slaves around Princess Xie Wu, who were brought by Liu Wannian as officials.Ren Hong didn't say anything in person, and after the afternoon banquet, he retreated from others, and said to Liu Wannian: "You use a foreign prince to become the owner of Shache, why don't you use the local nobles of Sheshache, but let the Wusun people and Han people fill the court?"
Liu Wannian didn't understand: "Shache people are not close to me, I don't appoint cronyism, do you still appoint others?"
Sister-in-law, I have heard about the abolition of Emperor Liu He, if there is no trustworthy person around me, what should the Shache people do to make trouble?
”You also know that the Shache people are not close to you, Ren Hong admonished Wan Nian: "Having said that, but your foundation in Shache is not stable, you should not abandon the Shache nobles, select some suitable people to be used as ministers, and then choose their children as personal guards and attendants, and give more silk silk, so that you can sit on the throne in Shache." ”This is also his own wife and brother, Ren Hong will say this to him, Liu Wannian promised: "Then I will increase a few positions?"
Following the system of the Han Kingdom, what is the same as setting up a state minister and Jiuqing?
I've heard about King Shanshan, should Shache follow closely and hire a few virtuous students to educate and change his clothes?
”Ren Hong said: "Jiuqing can be set up, but it is just to change the name and let more Shache nobles be listed in official positions to appease, but the clothes and customs cannot be changed." ”He told Liu Wannian the story of the State of Qi and the State of Lu: the Duke of Qi was sealed in Qi and reported to the Duke of Zhou in five months.Zhou Gong said: "What is the disease?
”Taigong said: "I simplify the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and follow the customs." ”And the son of the Duke of Zhou, Bo Yu, was enshrined in Lu, and only reported to the Duke of Zhou after three years.Zhou Gong said: "Why late?
”Uncle Bird said: "Change its customs, change its etiquette, mourn for three years and then get rid of it, so it's too late." ”Ren Hong said: "So Zhou Gongnai sighed and said, woohoo, the north of Lu will be in the future!"
It is not easy for the husband to be simple, and the people are not close; Approachable to the people, the people will return!
”"Shanshan is like Lu, changing its customs, reforming its etiquette, and Shache should follow the example of Qi State, simplify its monarchy and courtesy, and follow its customs."
First, Shanshan is only a pilot country for the export of ceremonial music, and since it is a pilot, it means that there may be advantages and disadvantages.Let King Shanshan cross the river to try the depth first, and the other states in the Western Regions should not be too anxious to follow up.Second, Liu Wannian was originally succeeded by a foreigner, and the people of Shache were suspicious of him, relying on Duhu and Wusun to suppress him, and he was too anxious to change his customs, which was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction.In the past, Liu Wannian's temperament must have been left ear in and right ear out, but after experiencing the battle of Chigu City, he matured a little, and felt that listening to Ren Hong's words was absolutely right, so he only agreed.and mysteriously led Ren Hong, saying that he had a gift to give him.Then he clapped his hands, and two orchids came, holding in their hands a beautiful wooden box, and in the box was a soft jade.Liu Wannian said: "I heard that when my sister-in-law was in Khotan, I went to Baiyuhe to see the locals picking jade, in fact, the jade of Kunshan is not only in Khotan, but also in my Shache country!"
”The Green Ridge River occasionally washes some jade from near the snow-capped mountains, and there is also green jade in the surrounding desert, which merchants can often pick up, but the quantity and quality are not as good as those of Khotanese jade, so it is not as famous as it."
These are the two best pieces of mutton fat jade picked this year, which are worth millions of dollars in Chang'an, I personally selected them and gave them to my sister-in-law and sister-in-law!
Good thank you for taking care of all these years. ”When did the young man become so good at behaving?
But Ren Hong saw Liu Wannian's purpose from his smile, not just to express gratitude. ”Do you want to pay tribute to Chang'an as the jade of Kunshan?
Liu Wannian was a little embarrassed, it is true, he is used to being pampered in Chang'an, and there will naturally be a gap when he comes to poor Shache, and he also wants to build a palace like King Shanshan, buy silk silk, and make life better.But although Shache is next to the Green Ridge River, the oasis is vast, and there are more than 10,000 people, but there are not many resources that can make Chang'an look at it, except for camels and wild horses, and the only ones that can be used are green jade.Seeing that the king of Khotan next door can harvest a large amount of silk every year, Liu Wannian is also greedy, if the jade of Shache can also be packaged with the name of "Kunshan jade", he will have an endless source of wealth.Ren Hong is happy to see that this matter can be done, the only gimmick that can absorb the population of the Central Plains into the Western Regions is the "jade rush", after all, Khotan is the territory of the Wei Chi clan, unless he is determined to subvert the regime, it is not very convenient to meddle in internal affairs.Shache is different, Liu Wannian has more trust in the Han people than in the Shache people, and I am afraid that more jade diggers will come.The Shache Oasis will be able to feed nearly a million people in later generations, and at a discount from the current productivity, 30,000 or 40,000 people can be fully accommodated.What's more, it is only the first step to lure Han adventurers and light chivalrous evil boys to Khotan and Shache with Taoyu, and these two places are not the end points that Ren Hong has set for them.But Ren Hong knew that he couldn't come forward in person, so he shook his head and said: "As the protector of the capital, I have to avoid suspicion, I can't write for you, you can make a statement to the subject country on your own, and I can't accept this mutton fat jade." ”Liu Wannian was bored, and said helplessly: "My sister-in-law is too outward, so if you don't accept it, I will give those two pieces of jade to my sister!"
”"By the way, why hasn't Yaoguang arrived yet?"
Speaking of this, Ren Hong was also worried, Liu Wannian was officially canonized by the imperial court and ascended the throne, and Wusun Guo also sent someone to celebrate, and by the way, he helped him stand on the field to intimidate the people of Shache, and the person who was coming was his wife.Yaoguang came to the Western Regions in the name of returning to Wusun Province, and last year he took his children directly to Chigu City, and asked Princess Xie Wei to tease her grandson to relieve loneliness.Now that the ceremony has ended, why is there no one to be seen?
While he was still thinking about it, the horsemen on the left and right of Shache came to report that a team of people had come to the west of Shache City.Ren Hong and Liu Wannian were overjoyed, came to the city to look, and saw that hundreds of people from the Wusun mission were roaring, and the ice and snow in the Tianshan Mountains in late April had not melted, and they were also servants of the wind and dust."
Princess Anping of the Great Han, Princess Wusun, General Zuo, Marquis of Broken Leaves, please congratulate King Shache!"
The title is so long, Ren Hong was stunned, and Gan Yanshou, who was standing next to him, was stupid and muttered: "Four Wusun envoys came?
”Chang Shizhong coughed lightly: "It should be just one" As soon as the words fell, Yaoguang was dressed in a red riding suit, wearing a dust-proof veil, and riding a reluctant radish, the two heroines walked into Shache City in high spirits.PS: The second chapter is in the evening.
