Chapter 263 Temptation (continued)

In midsummer, in Chang'an Baqiao Post, there are still crowds of people on the banks of Baqiao. People who are about to embark on their journey say goodbye to their relatives and friends who have practiced for them, and they willows to see you off, or they may wait again to welcome the wanderers who are about to return.

In the bustling hustle and bustle, many people were talking about current affairs, and the one that talked the most was the case of the Turkic Khan visiting the emperor.

The Turkic Qimin Khan was excluded in the Turkic country and fled to Zhou for asylum at the end of his life. Later, the Zhou State defeated the East and West Turks repeatedly invaded. Later, he sent troops to help the Qimin Khan return to his country to clean up the mess, which led to the Qimin Khan's regaining the position of the Great Khan.

This time, Khan Qimin went to Chang'an to see the emperor. He boarded a boat from Hetao, went south to Guanzhong, and stayed in Chang'an for more than two months. He only set off for a short time to return to the grassland.

When Qimin Khan and his group returned, they also took a steamer boat to the north of the Yellow River and returned to the grassland from the original route.

During the period when Khan Qimin lived in Chang'an, many interesting stories were heard. Among them, the one hundred single eight cannons were the ones when they entered the city.

The official army had artillery, which was powerful. If the artillery fired "fireworks" into the sky, it was the "salute". When Khan of Qimin entered Chang'an City, the 100 single eight cannons set off by Honglu Temple was really magnificent, and the people of the whole city could hear it clearly.

When the Khan of Qimin entered the city, he stayed at the Hongluke Restaurant. In order to receive the Khan of Qimin, the Khan of Hongluke specially set up a large piece of open space and set up many large tents, and supplied a large amount of beef, mutton and cheese products every day, everything was like a grassland.

Because the weather is hot, the large tent set up in the Hongluke Restaurant and the magical "air conditioning" are also available to make the guests comfortable to live.

Later, one night, the emperor invited the Khan of Qimin at the palace and performed a fireworks show. The countless fireworks blooming in the night sky made the people of the whole city fascinated.

This kind of fireworks will only be held on major festivals such as the New Year and the Day. The emperor treats the Khan of Qimin solemnly.

When Qimin Khan set off and returned to his country, a large guard of honor sent him to Weikou, where the group boarded the steamship and returned north.

The treatment he received in Chang'an was extremely grand. The court said that he also agreed with the Turks (Eastern Turks of Qimin Khan) to launch a trade with each other and sell a large amount of Central Plains products to the grassland every year.

Among them are cloth, daily necessities, cold-proof clothing made of cotton, bedding, and a large amount of tea.

Since it is a sales sale, it is not for nothing. The Turkic countries have to exchange things for them, first of all, horses, and then sheep, but everyone is skeptical about how many sheep and horses can be used for border markets in the Turkic countries.

The grassland is very barren compared to the Central Plains, with sheep and horses. However, is the other party willing to come up with a lot of good horses?

Faced with the temptation of the Central Plains Flower World, the Turks might think that it would be easier to ride a horse and rob it by robbery than to trade horses for supplies.

Of course, the common people did not know the inside story about the court. However, after the news came out, everyone could not help but talk, but no one was worried that the Turks would be untrustworthy and made a big attack like they did back then, because today is different from the past.

The imperial court used the Yellow River shipping to garrison troops in the Hetao area, and there were military and civilian troops. It is said that a large amount of fertile land had been reclaimed in Fengzhou area, which was enough to supplement the garrison's food and grass demand.

In addition, there were steamships continuously transporting supplies to Hetao, so the total number of military and civilians stationed in the Hetao area was said to be close to 200,000. With such a border army guarding Hetao, how could the Turkic army invade at will as randomly as it was back then?

So, are there really so many Malaysian trades between the Turks?

As the conversation was full of discussion, there was movement at the Baqiao Post Office. Many officials in official uniforms came in and out of the post office, and many accompanying staff surrounded outside the post office. It seemed that they were welcoming some distinguished guests.

This situation is very common, maybe it is the arrival of a town official who has returned from office or the envoy of a country who has arrived.

Many people are wondering, could it be that the countries in Haidong are unwilling to give up and sent envoys to bring beauty?

......

Several carriages, under the escort of cavalry, slowly headed west along the official road. A few miles ahead was Baqiao Post in the east of Chang'an. Yuchishun, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene outside the window, and felt a lot of emotion for a moment.

Finally back, finally back.

His eyes were so moist that he was excited, and a young man in his arms looked curiously at the view outside the window and asked some questions from time to time. His wife Wang sat next to him and looked at her grandson's lively look, feeling very relieved.

When the Yuchi family was about to overthrow that year, Yuchi Shun and Wang were secretly sent to the Japanese Kingdom of the East China Sea by their son-in-law Yuwen Wen, and their son Yuchi Jiade was also among them.

It took more than ten years to go there. The Yuchishun family lived in seclusion since then, as if they had disappeared from the world.

They lived a good life in Japan, but Yuchishun still hoped to return to the Central Plains one day, but the day of returning home was far away.

As time goes by, Yuchishun's hair gradually turns gray and his body is not as good as before. Although he is not seriously ill, the idea of ​​falling leaves returning to his roots becomes stronger and stronger as he gets older.

The Yuchi family broke up with the Yuwen family, which was helpless. Yuchi Shun would not have any idea of ​​"reversing the case". His father, the king of Shu, Yuchi Jiong, had his tombs sent by the court to guard it, and it was safe and sound.

But Yuchishun felt that it would be better to clean up the tablets of his father in the distant country of Japan. After all, if there is no descendants worshiping him in front of the tomb during the Qingming Festival, his father would be too lonely.

But this matter was not something he could decide. Although his daughter and son-in-law were also trying to find a way, the Yuchi clan's serious crime was placed there. Yuchi Shun didn't want his daughter, and his grandson was implicated for him.

In the court, many civil and military officials made meritorious and promoted in the war to attack the Yuchi family. If he went back, even if his son-in-law was suppressed, others would not dare to say anything, but their dissatisfaction and resentment would be transferred to the queen and the prince.

Therefore, Yuchi Shun felt that since he was old, he should not drag down his daughter and grandson. He gave up his wish to return to the Central Plains, and he never expected that this day would actually come.

The son-in-law said that everything had been arranged so that he could return home with peace of mind, and spend the rest of his life as a worshiper of the former King of Shu. He had to act in a low-key manner after returning, so as not to cause trouble.

Yuchi Shun, who learned the good news, was very excited and rushed to return home by boat, but he had to sail according to the hyacinth, which was not small. In case, Yuchi Shun's family could not go to sea on the same boat, so as not to suffer a shipwreck and the whole family would die.

He and his son Yuchi Jiade were required to travel separately and return to China in batches.

The temptation to go home was so great that Yuchi Shun could not wait for so long. He and Wang took Changsun Xian to set off and returned to the Central Plains by a five-mast ship accompanied by his son-in-law Zhang Yu.

Yuchi Jiade stayed in Japan with his side of the family Suwo and his second son, and then returned to China by boat after a while.

Now, Yuchi Shun and his wife are about to arrive in Chang'an with Changsun. He looked at the scenery along the way and was filled with emotion.

The serious crimes of the Yuchi clan cannot be washed away. Even Yuwen, who is the emperor, must express his attitude and position when facing the tablets of the late emperors of the Taimiao dynasties and the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

Therefore, Yuchi Shun is still a sinner when he comes back this time, and it is impossible for him to enjoy wealth and honor as a relative of the country.
