Chapter 1023 Unlucky Shrimp

The fact that taking sides has been around for a long time in the officialdom of China.

The saying of helping the manager or not helping the relatives is generally nonsense.

In fact, since the collapse of rituals and music, with the continuous division of disciples of the Hundred Schools and the gradual solidification of the bureaucratic class of the Qin Dynasty, reasoning has become less popular. All officials will choose to take sides to maintain their identity and status, and those who stand in the wrong team have basically been stepped on.

For example, in the current Qin Dynasty, since Li Si's death, the disciples of the old Legal family represented by Li Si quickly fell apart. Many of the Fa disciples shamelessly chose to surrender to Chen Xu, and some who were unwilling to surrender were kicked down by Chen Xu without any mercy. To be honest, that is what idiots do. Whether it is a fight between gangsters or a fight in the officialdom, it is the truth that anyone has the biggest fist.

He punched Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten. Qin Dada bent on Liuguo with a pair of sand bowl-sized fists and bleeding teeth.

Now that Zuo Qiuping is the left prime minister of Liang Kingdom, there will naturally be a large group of people standing in line and waving flags and shouting for him. It doesn’t matter who Wen Bupo is, and it doesn’t matter whether he succeeds or not. What’s important is that this person must be recommended by Zuo Prime Minister.

And there is also a very important point. Wen Bupo is a Yuezhi people, which is different from their aides and disciples who followed from Daqin. If he succeeds, then the credit is the left prime minister. If he fails, he deserves it. It has nothing to do with everyone. In the end, the unlucky shrimp Wen Bupo is the unlucky shrimp.

The debate in the court soon became a unified understanding. King Ying Gao of Liang could not wait to evacuate his sleeves and issue a king's order, so that the envoy could quickly summon Wen Bubo to the court to listen to the seal.

Three moments later, Wen Bupo, who was still communicating with some Western Hu merchants in the market, followed the envoy to the court with a surprised face and extremely nervous mood. After listening to King Liang's reward, he stood blankly on the court with a wide mouth and had not come to his senses for a long time. After he came to his senses, an extremely bitter feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

There is no doubt that the power of the Great Qin Dynasty is the fate of the Yuezhi. Since the Liang King was granted the title to the Yuezhi, various reforms have been carried out. The large number of craftsmen, students, craftsmen, staff, etc. brought from the Central Plains have also devoted themselves to implementing the system and culture of the Central Plains, building schools, health centers, and various workshops, teaching the Yuezhi people to learn farming, textile wool and other skills. With the Great Qin as a strong backing, the various measures implemented by the Liang Dynasty court soon came to an immediate effect, and everything went smoothly without too many twists and turns.

In fact, most of the senior leaders of the Yuezhi tribe will not resist and are very obedient, because the leaders of the tribe have been to Xianyang these months and have seen the prosperity and prosperity of Xianyang City. They know that the only way out for Yuezhi is to honestly accept the arrangements of King Liang, learn the Central Plains culture, and accept the Central Plains system. Moreover, many people also yearn for and admire everything about the Central Plains, actively cooperate with Ying Gao's reform measures in exchange for a better position and gain more benefits.

Wen Bupo was the most valued counselor of the former Yuezhi King. Although his status was high, he was not a royal family and did not participate in the resistance to the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, after the destruction of the Yuezhi, Li Xin did not make things difficult for him. He even often took time to communicate with him to ask about the Yuezhi situation. After he got familiar with it, he asked him to stay in the royal court, but became an ordinary civilian without power. Later, after Ying Gao was granted a title to Liang Kingdom, he brought a large number of aides and guest officials. The large number of Yuezhi management hired by Li Xin when he was stationed in the Yuezhi King Court were dismissed from office. As well as the first little prince of Yuezhi, he only rewarded a Shaoqing who had no official or no position to go to herd sheep.

In other words, almost all the senior executives of Liang Kingdom are from the Great Qin Dynasty, and there is no Yuezhi, and the Wusun people are even less visible.

But today, King Ying Gao of Liang suddenly came to the position of rewarding the envoy, which made Wen Bupo feel that it was not a pie falling from the sky. Because this journey is unpredictable, he could think very clearly about being elected by the left prime minister as an envoy. He might be in the blame for this journey.

"Mr. Wen, I know that you have a deep relationship with the Marquis of Xiyue. If I want to become rich, I must get the support of the Marquis of Qinghe. Therefore, I hope that you can visit the Marquis of Qinghe on behalf of me this time. It is best to buy a large number of exquisite goods and utensils from the Central Plains on credit. In this way, the markets of my country of Liang can attract a large number of Western Regions and Qianghu merchants, and the prosperity of our country of Liang is just around the corner!" Ying Gao sat high on the throne and looked at Wen Bupo with anticipation.

well!

Wen Bupo sighed in his heart and bowed respectfully, saying: "The king has his destiny, so the people of Cao will naturally not dare to refuse. When you go to Xianyang, you will definitely try your best to communicate with the Marquis of Xiyue and strive to bring good news back to the King after you pay homage to the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Haha, okay, I am the king of Mr. Wen, and many tribes of the Yuezhi also respect Mr. Wen very much. If Mr. Wen is successful in this trip, I will not hesitate to reward him. I decided to set up a Commerce Office under the Ministry of Revenue and appoint Mr. Wen as the Minister of Commerce to control all trade deals in Liang Kingdom for me!" Ying Gao stood up with a cheerful laugh.

"Thank you for your respect, lord!" Wen Bupo quickly bowed and thanked him.

Wen Bupo was not interested in the officials of Liang Kingdom, because this official is still unknown, but if he could take this opportunity to bring prosperity to Yuezhi, Wen Bupo was still very interested. After all, he was a Yuezhi native and hoped to see Yuezhi able to be peaceful and prosperous, and all tribes could enjoy a peaceful life. He did not want to see Yuezhi conflict with the Qin Dynasty and strive to quell the war because he knew the strength of the princes of the Central Plains too well. Not to mention the Qin Dynasty that now unified China. Even when the princes were fighting for power, Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao and Wei, could just take one out and crush the blood of the Yuezhi into a river. If it weren't for the remote and honest region of the Yuezhi, and the development goal and direction of Qin State had always been to the Central Plains, it was estimated that the Yuezhi would have lived a very miserable life under the pressure of the Qin Dynasty, Qiang people and Wusun.

Now, the Yuezhi has ended in tragic wars that should have been destroyed due to the betrayal of King Toonan and the death of King Yuezhi. Although the Yuezhi, which has a population of hundreds of thousands, has experienced a bloody baptism and disaster, it has left most of the population in the end. Now under the rule of King Liang, it has begun to slowly live a peaceful and peaceful life. In Wen Bupo's opinion, it is already the best ending for the Yuezhi. This was also called by King Yuezhi with his life, and he will only do his best to protect it.

After half a month of thinking, King Yuezhi finally agreed to cooperate with Meng Tian to suppress King Tunan. In fact, he had already discussed it with King Zuo Ping and Wen Bupo several times, and basically guessed that this was a huge trap. However, for the future of the Yuezhi, King Yuezhi decided to take a risk and express his kindness to the Qin Dynasty in exchange for the comfort of the Qin Dynasty. King Yuezhi succeeded, but used his life as a price. He never expected that King Tunan would kill him with his most respected eldest son, Kenghe, in an attempt to seize the throne of the Yuezhi.

Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Whether it is King Tunan or King Beihe, they underestimated the strength of the Qin Dynasty. Meng Tian did not give them any chance to be proud. He easily resolved the rebellion and took the Yuezhi into his pocket. He completed the mission of Emperor Qin to conquer Yuezhi six months ahead of schedule. At the same time, he expanded the land westward for more than 3,000 miles, completing the unprecedented war victory in China in one fell swoop.

Now the Yuezhi has become a part of the Liang Kingdom rule, and the Yuezhi people have also become Liang Kingdom people. The Liang King promoted the same track, books, texts, languages, and homophones in Liang Kingdom. All systems were copied from the Qin Dynasty. After decades, perhaps the descendants of the Yuezhi people will forget their true identity, speak the words of the Central Plains, read the poems and books of the Central Plains, and cultivate the fields, sprinkle the fields, spin the woolen and weave cloth, becoming the same as those of the Central Plains.

Wen Bupo sat in the bumpy carriage, escorted by hundreds of Liang Kingdom imperial guards, and led his own team of envoys to face the bright red sun, crossing the Western Regions caravans coming from the east, and heading straight for the most prosperous paradise on earth, which is known as the world's most prosperous... Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Along the way, large areas of farmland have been reclaimed in the place where the grazing water and grass were lushly grazing, and the green millet and wheat have risen happily. The Yue people who used to grazle cattle and sheep with horse whips were clumsyly learning to weed and water the fields under the command of some craftsmen in official uniforms.

That battle to destroy the country seemed to be away from these ordinary Yuezhi people in an instant. They were all obediently obeying the guidance and rebukes from the officials of the Qin Dynasty with a nervous and pious attitude.

On both sides of the road, which was crushed by the dense caravans and camel horse wheels, in some areas where tribes gather, houses built with wood began to appear, with plaques or cloth tricks for food houses and houses, and even grocery stores selling Zhongyuan cloth shoes, hats, saddles and stirrups. The owners of these shops also held the accents of various parts of the Central Plains, and each recruited several Yuezhi boys and girls as helpers. Among them, a shop opened by Yuezhi people was the only one, but it represented the emergence of a completely different lifestyle.

Perhaps, this is also a good thing!

Wen Bubo's uneasy heart has slowly calmed down.

The princes of the Central Plains fought for hundreds of years, and now they have finally achieved unification. After this baptism of blood and fire, Yuezhi has finally begun to change her lifestyle of living through water. Times have changed, and she can no longer look at the changes in the world with a conservative perspective.

What's more, Wen Bupo was also full of excitement and expectation for seeing the legendary immortal disciple who protected the Great Qin.

From the day the Yuezhi was destroyed, he heard news about Qinghehou almost every day. When he was talking and communicating with Li Xin, Li Xin also smiled and told him that if he had the opportunity to go to Xianyang, he would definitely visit Qinghehou. If he had enough face to be lucky enough to eat the delicacy made by Qinghehou himself, then his life would be considered in vain.

There is a proverb in Xianyang: It is better to have the Qinghe blindness than to get a thousand taels of gold.

I heard that this is the Left Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Marquis who is a pair of double-gods, loves food. He can use the wild sturgeon common in Yuezhi to make unparalleled fragrance seasonings. He is a noble and a left prime minister. Why do he love to study food?

Could he be a foodie?

However, the braised beef noodles sold in Wangcheng are indeed beautiful in taste. I heard that they were invented and made by Qinghehou.

Hiss ~

I only ate Wen Bubo, who was short of money in my pocket, only two or three times. When I thought of the hot, delicate and soft noodles blessed with beef soup, I couldn't help but take a sip of my saliva while sitting in the shaking carriage.
