Back!
Back!
Just as everyone was expecting, Liu Chan and Liu Yan and his son finally appeared in everyone's sight. Xu Shu held a grand welcoming ceremony for Liu Chan and his son outside the west city of Taixi.
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians, Liu Chan's Luan Jia drove into Taixi Fengcheng.
Back at the palace, Zhang Yang looked distressed and said: "Your Majesty's expedition to the west must have been very hard. You have lost weight."
"It's not hard for me to march to the west!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "But I miss Yang'er, which makes it very hard for me."
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yang was already a middle-aged woman. Liu Chan suddenly said this and couldn't help but become shy.
"Yang'er!"
"How have you been these past two years?"
Liu Chan cared about his queen very much. He originally brought her to the Western Regions to let her see the world, or treat it as an overseas trip.
But the fact is that after arriving in Ctesiphon, Liu Chan took her to Rome and then left her and Wang Yuanji in Ctesiphon.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, everything is fine with Yang'er!" Zhang Yuan yawned.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yang suddenly asked curiously: "Has the war in Rome been settled?"
"Of course!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "I have established the Kingdom of Qin in Rome, and Tan'er will be the king of Qin."
"Great Qin?" Zhang Yuan was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he said: "Why did your Majesty establish a title for the former dynasty?"
Zhang Yang was a little confused. In fact, she had already heard about the establishment of the Kingdom of Qin. As early as half a year ago, news came back from Rome that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had conquered Rome and then established a new kingdom in Rome, named Daqin.
.
If we talk about the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yang can still accept it, but the Qin Dynasty... She has always found it a bit strange. After all, the dynasty before the Han Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty founded by the first emperor Ying Zheng.
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan burst out laughing after hearing this, and gently tapped the tip of Zhang Yang's nose and asked: "Isn't the country's name Da Qin inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate!" Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively and said: "In our Han Dynasty, the supreme emperor Zhan White Snake revolted and finally overthrew the Qin Dynasty, thus creating the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty."
Zhang Yang just thinks that the name of the country Da Qin is very strange.
When you hear this country name, you will think of the Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor.
However, what she didn't know was that Liu Chan had already decided on the name of this western kingdom when he named Liu Tan King of Qin.
Also, according to the historical trajectory, the Central Plains to the First Emperor unified the six countries and established the first feudal unified dynasty, although many dynasties also appeared after that.
But——
In Liu Chan's heart, as a descendant of China, he was most proud of the four dynasties of Qin, Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties. It was also for this reason that he decided to create three new kingdoms in addition to the Han Dynasty, and the country names were Qin, Tang, and Ming Dynasties.
.
Of course, there was actually a Song Dynasty in history, which was also very prosperous. However, Song Taizu used a series of measures such as drinking wine to release military power, which made the Song Dynasty live an extremely useless life in the later period, especially the shame of Jingkang and the relegation of the Southern Song Dynasty to a corner.
Wait.
Otherwise, he might have established a Song Dynasty.
As for the last dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, it was also a unified dynasty, but after all, it was not a dynasty created by the Han people, so he was still a little rejected.
Zhang Yang didn't understand.
In her opinion, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, but now the Han people have re-established the Qin Dynasty in the west. It always feels a bit strange.
"You don't have to worry!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "The Great Qin I established is not the violent Qin of the First Emperor, but a country allied to the Han Dynasty."
"Besides, the king of the Great Qin Kingdom is Tan'er, my son."
Liu Chan didn't know how to explain it to Zhang Yang, so he changed the subject and said, "Yang'er, it's been six years since we left the Central Plains. Does Yang'er miss Chang'an?"
The Kingdom of Qin has been established, and it is impossible to modify it now. Of course, Zhang Yang was just curious. When Liu Chan asked about Chang'an, she suddenly felt a sore nose and said: "It's been six years. I don't know what Chang'an has become now. What's the situation like now?"
You'er, you should be six years old this year."
When talking about Chang'an, Zhang Yang talks endlessly.
"Yes!" Liu Chan paused and said, "When we left Chang'an, Yi'er was just born..." As he said this, Liu Chan also became a little sad.
Yi'er is Liu Yi, the eldest son of Prince Liu Chen. Six years ago when Liu Chan visited the West, Liu Yi was just over three months old. In the past few years, he had been busy with the Western expedition to Rome, but he had forgotten that he was already a grandfather.
"Yang'er!" Liu Chan said: "Get ready, we will return to Beijing in a few days!"
"Really?" Zhang Yang was a little happy.
"Of course!" Liu Chan said with certainty: "It's time to go back. I'm old and can't fight anymore. I'll leave the future world to my sons. I want to go back and enjoy the happiness of family."
"Besides, the Prime Minister is getting old!" Liu Chan said and couldn't help but shook his head: "There is also the Marquis of Nanzheng. It's time to take him back to the Central Plains with me this time on my western tour."
However, as soon as Liu Chan said these words, Zhang Yang paused and looked a little heavy.
"Yang'er!" Liu Chan said in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Before Liu Chan finished speaking, Zhang Yang said: "Your Majesty, don't you know?"
"What do I know?" Liu Chan was a little confused.
"Marquis Nanzheng...Marquis Nanzheng passed away last year!" Zhang Yang said.
"???" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and asked after a while: "Yang'er, are you saying that Sun Quan is dead?"
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Why didn't the Prime Minister tell me?"
Liu Chan is indeed a little confused. In the past two years, he has been busy with the Western Expedition and has not paid too much attention to the affairs of Taixifeng. Moreover, he has completely handed over the governance of the Ming Kingdom to Liu Yan and the others.
Two or three years ago, when Liu Chan led his army on the expedition, Sun Quan accompanied Xu Shu and personally sent Liu Chan and Liu Yan off to the expedition. Why is he gone now?
"The Prime Minister should have told His Majesty!" Zhang Yang said.
The next morning, the study room of Ctesiphon Palace.
"Old minister, see your Majesty!"
Xu Shu bowed respectfully to Liu Chan. Liu Chan stood up quickly, stepped forward to help Xu Shu up and said with concern: "Prime Minister, please hurry up and forgive me. There are no outsiders here, and the Prime Minister does not need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chan then helped Xu Shu and sat down beside him. Originally, today he wanted to ask Xu Shu why he didn't send a letter to the army when Sun Quan died.
However, before Xu Shu arrived, he first asked his son Liu Yan.
According to Liu Yan, the Prime Minister had actually reported it, but the war was about to begin and he forgot about it.
"Prime Minister!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Prime Minister has worked hard over the years and made great achievements. He served Zuo Yan'er faithfully in the Ming Dynasty. Please accept my worship."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he immediately bowed to Xu Shu. This shocked Xu Shu and was deeply moved. He hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is the duty that an old minister should perform. I dare not accept your majesty's gift!"
Since ancient times, only ministers worshiped the emperor, and how could the emperor worship his ministers?
However, Liu Chan said: "The Prime Minister is quite worthy! The Prime Minister is quite worthy!"
