Six hundred and twenty-ninth Wusun to the messenger (1)
In the September autumn of the first year of Yanhe, Renshen (29th).
Autumn is coming, and the harsh winter is coming.
However, Chang'an City became more lively than ever before.
Every household started a big purchase.
The best-selling products are of course peach charms, cloth and various meats.
The entire Chang'an merchants were suddenly trapped in endless happiness.
The consumption capacity of Chang'an residents was released almost overnight.
Even the poorest citizens are willing to spend their whole family’s savings a year to purchase at this time.
As for middle-class families and nobles, their consumption intentions are also extremely strong at this time!
Even if you are a stingy miser, you will not be petty at this time.
Because, the New Year is coming!
It's time to worship ancestors!
For ancestors, the Xia peoples are more respectful and valued than any other nation.
Especially the Han people!
The Han people believed that when a person dies, he would be in the nine springs and protect the descendants of the Yang princess.
It is one of the basic obligations of descendants to worship ancestors and to make them have incense, fire, blood and food to taste.
In the Zhang Mansion, there is also a happy and peaceful atmosphere for the New Year.
Early in the morning, my sister-in-law took Mr. Jin out for a big purchase.
Zhang Yue, along with his servants and servants, respectfully repaired the ancestral sacrifices in the backyard to prepare for the first day of the next day, and welcomed the gods of the ancestors and ancestrals to join here to protect their descendants.
This is of course a very sacred thing.
Unfortunately, Zhao Rouna suddenly brought Princess Nan Xin and killed her back.
Then he was all over the mansion and was arrogant and blessed.
Just like they were in Changle Palace, they suddenly frightened the servants in the mansion to death.
Because these two little ancestors are so naughty!
They burned firecrackers in the mansion!
Well, the literal one.
It is to throw the bamboo into the fire and burn it, and then listen to a sound.
This kind of entertainment is the favorite of Han folk children.
It was the first time that Princess Nanxin came into contact with such a fun game and went crazy all of a sudden.
I sent someone to get hundreds of bamboo poles from where I didn't know, and then burned them one by one.
Listening to the crackling sound of bamboo, the two little girls were jumping with joy.
It was just a pity for the servants in the mansion. They had been hygienic for a whole day and were completely useless.
When Zhang Yue discovered it, the entire front yard was filled with ashes of bamboo.
When Zhang Yue saw this, he was amused and laughed. He quickly called the two little ancestors to his side and made two gyros for them.
After getting the new toy, the two little girls immediately threw their firecracker career aside and started the gyro competition the sooner.
By the afternoon, my sister-in-law and Jin Shaofu came back from the big purchase.
They bought back the supplies of four carriages.
The meat alone has hundreds of kilograms!
In addition, there are various colors of cloth, shoes, knitted fabrics, etc.
Of course, there are also various sacrifices used to worship ancestors.
Then, my sister-in-law and Jin Shaofu began to allocate these materials.
Every servant received a reward of a few kilograms of meat, two pieces of cloth and a bag of five zhu coins.
The Tian He and Li Miao brothers each received a reward of ten gold.
The brewing masters received no less than hardware red envelopes and wine, meat, rice and noodles of equivalent value.
All of a sudden, the whole mansion was full of gratitude.
Zhang Yue was watching his sister-in-law get along well with Young Master Jin, and he was relieved.
Originally, he was worried that his sister-in-law might not get along with Mr. Jin.
But now it seems that Mr. Jin is born to deal with people.
It was only two days after my sister-in-law came to Chang'an, and she had completely bribed her.
He has even seen it as a sister.
Until the evening, Zhang Yue had just had supper and was about to make some preparations for the future day of the Great Court.
Tian He came to report: "Lord, Zhang Lingjun is here, saying that there is something important, so I need to discuss it with the lord!"
"Zhang Anshi?" Zhang Yue asked in confusion.
This is the first time Zhang Anshi came to Zhang Yue Mansion in person for so long in Chang'an.
After all, his position is too sensitive.
Shangshu Ling is one of the two giants in Lantai.
Under the current Han system, Shangshutai is almost responsible for most of the functions of the Prime Minister's Office in the past.
Have power far beyond the ordinary people’s imagination!
Therefore, Zhang Anshi has been very low-key for a long time and rarely takes the initiative to go to other people's mansions.
Not to mention this time.
So, Zhang Yue immediately knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly said, "I'll come out to greet you in person!"
He immediately came to the gate and ordered people to open the middle door, then went out to greet Zhang Anshi in person and said, "Brother, come here, my husband is full of glory!"
Zhang Anshi, however, looked serious and said to Zhang Yue: "You don't have to be too polite, brother!"
"I am here to be the Holy Order!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue quickly bowed his head and said, "I respectfully hear the saint's order!"
"My brother, let's talk inside..." Zhang Anshi said softly: "It involves military and national affairs. Please find a place to be clean!"
Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Brother, please tell me about it in the study..."
So he led Zhang Anshi into the house and at the same time ordered brothers Tian He to shut out all the servants within ten steps of the study, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
"Brother Wu..." After entering the study, Zhang Anshi said, "Brother Wu is here to represent His Majesty and give him a task to you!"
"The Wusun envoy will arrive in Chang'an in the October Jiamao. Because the envoy came to pay a secret visit, Your Majesty does not want any idle people to disturb you, and he does not want the news that the Wusun envoy comes to Han will spread!"
"We need to protect the security of the messenger in Chang'an!"
"Therefore, Your Majesty thought of his brother, and hoped that he would welcome and take care of him as a representative, and protect all the daily life of the Wusun envoy during his stay in Beijing..."
When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately knew the importance of this matter.
Wusun is the most important ally of the Han family!
Since Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty's greatest diplomatic efforts were Wusun.
After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts to reconcile Princess Xijun and Princess Jieyou's struggle, the Han Dynasty finally successfully dug up the Xiongnu's walls and pulled Wusun to its own side.
This formed a pincer attack on the Huns.
In fact, since the second year of Tianhan, the Han army had many major wars, and the ultimate strategic goal was to open up traffic links with Wusun, so that Han and Wusun could directly contact and cooperate in combat.
The Huns naturally understood this, so they delayed and stopped the strategic actions of the Han army at all costs.
This is the case in the Battle of Tianshan, and so is the Battle of Yuwushui.
The Huns's Qihou Shanyu even died of injuries during the Battle of Yuwushui!
In terms of the current military situation, once a channel is opened between the Han and Wusun.
The Huns' rule in the Western Regions was about to fall apart.
Chapter completed!
