After talking to his son and daughter-in-law, Liu Chan met with Jiang Wan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Wan was fifty-two this year. After three years, he had not changed much. The only change was that his skin color changed. A little darker.

"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister!" Liu Chan said politely.

There were only two people in the study, Liu Chan and Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan respectfully bowed to Liu Chan and then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have received His Majesty's trust and enjoy a high position. I am always worried that I will betray His Majesty's grace."

It was still the familiar Jiang Wan... Liu Chan sighed, and after the other party sat down, Liu Chan asked: "Is the Tang Dynasty still safe now?"

"Back to Your Majesty!" Jiang Wan said: "Except for a small rebellion in Jiaozhi County last year, it was put down at the beginning of the year. Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful."

"Very good!" Liu Chan nodded slightly.

He had heard about the Jiaozhi rebellion last year. It was said that they were a small tribe and were unwilling to accept the promotion of Chinese language, so they killed county officials.

Later Liu Rui sent General Zhang Bao with an army of 30,000 to quell the rebellion.

This matter was within Liu Chan's expectation.

The promotion of a new language will make some extreme people think that it is to erase their culture, but Liu Chan really has no such idea.

When the Tang and Ming Dynasties were first established, they were announced to the subjects of the two countries.

The Han Dynasty came to the Western Regions not to Chineseize them all, but to make the world peaceful. As for the promotion of Chinese, it was also to prevent communication between countries and avoid language barriers.

When Liu Chan was in the Western Regions, these natives did not dare to make any mistakes.

But after Liu Chan led the Han army to leave the Western Regions, some extreme groups began to get ready to take action. This is also easy to understand.

After all, there was a popular saying among the people of the Central Plains - People who are not of my race must have different minds.

The Han Dynasty wanted to completely rule the Western Regions, change people's thinking, and make them accept the rule of the Han people, which could not be achieved overnight.

"Prime Minister!" Liu Chan continued: "Now the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, the Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty have been connected together. This is a whole for the long-term peaceful coexistence of mankind." After speaking, Liu Chan paused, sighed, and then Caidao: "Ai Qing needs to change some inherent thinking."

Jiang Wan was slightly shocked when he heard this, but still nodded slightly instinctively.

"We Han people are just outsiders in the eyes of the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions!" Liu Chan stared at Jiang Wan and said: "If we want them to accept us from the bottom of their hearts, we need to treat them with sincerity and serve them sincerely. Do things."

"We want them to know, we want them to see that after we Han people ruled the Western Regions, their lives have become better." After saying that, Liu Chan paused and said with a smile: "The people everywhere are actually very simple. Their needs are not high either.”

"Eat well, wear warm clothes, and have a house to live in!"

"As long as we can keep them well fed and clothed!"

"They will gradually accept us!"

As a person from the future one thousand eight years later, Liu Chan is naturally familiar with the fact that for thousands of years, the main reason why people have rebelled against the imperial court is that the imperial court has made it difficult for people to live.

As long as the people can have enough food and clothing, they will not rebel.

Jiang Wan nodded when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed when he heard this: "A sage emperor is assisted by countless virtuous ministers." As he said this, he looked at Jiang Wan and said, "If I didn't have virtuous ministers like the Prime Minister to assist me, how could I have done it?"

Become a sage monarch?"

Jiang Wan felt very comfortable listening to Liu Chan's words.

Because the emperor regarded him as a wise minister.

With this affirmation, no matter how hard and tiring it is, it is still worth it.

For Liu Chan, he is very happy to cultivate more virtuous ministers. He is lucky to have traveled through the Three Kingdoms in this life, even though he has only become Liu Adou.

He also feels that he is very lucky.

Why?

Because there are great sages around Liu Adou.

The main representatives are, of course, Zhuge Wolong, Xu Yuanzhi and others.

Without wise ministers like Zhuge Liang, he would have died countless times in such a troubled world.

But he has Zhuge Liang and others, so even if he is outside conquering east and west, fighting in the north and south, he will not worry about a fire in the backyard.

Now that he is the emperor of the Han Empire, he cares more about virtuous ministers, especially for the Tang and Ming Dynasties. He needs more virtuous ministers. As long as there are enough virtuous ministers and good generals, his children and grandchildren can be stable in the Western Regions.

This is an expectation as a father.

I hope that my children and grandchildren will be prosperous forever.

......

The Tang Dynasty is adjacent to the Han Dynasty. In fact, before the Western Tour, Liu Chan had some knowledge of some things in the Tang Dynasty. Except for a small rebellion last year, everything was fine as Jiang Wan said.

The main destination of Liu Chan's westward journey was not the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Chan did not stay in Fulousha for long. He only stayed for more than a month and then continued westward with a large group of people.

However, among the three concubines, Liu Chan only took away Zhang Yang and Wang Yuanji. As for the concubine Cao Ling, he allowed her to stay in Fulousha temporarily.

Liu Rui is the king of the Tang Dynasty, and Cao Ling is his mother.

Liu Chan also hopes that Cao Ling can spend more time with his son.

Of course Cao Ling is very happy. When she was in Chang'an, she had never been separated from her son. Now for her, it is a very happy thing to be able to spend more time with her son.

As for the customs and customs of continuing to the west, she is not that interested.

......

February 29, the 16th year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 255).

Evening——

After nearly three months of traveling westward from the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, Liu Chan and his party finally appeared outside the south gate of Taixi Feng City, the capital of the Kingdom of Ming Dynasty.

Liu Chan is naturally very familiar with the closure of cities in Western Europe.

During the nine years of his previous expedition to the Western Regions, he had spent most of his time in Ctesiphon. He was very familiar with every plant and tree here.

At this time, we had just arrived a few miles away from the south gate of Taixi Feng City. From a distance, we saw the city wall made of white stones.

"Arrived!"

"Arrived in Ctesiphon!"

On the carriage, Wang Yuanji leaned out of the window, pointed at the city wall made of white stones in front of her, and said excitedly.

Zhang Yang is a very curious person.

This trip to the West was an eye-opener for her.

People with different skin colors, different eating habits, and different customs.

She was deeply fascinated by them.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhang Yang said casually: "The city wall is so white!"

"Sister!" Wang Yuanji said with a smile: "The Taixi Feng Palace is more beautiful than this one."

"Really?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Wang Yuanji nodded and said: "The Taixifeng Palace is entirely built of white marble. Even if you live there in midsummer, it is very cool."

Zhang Yang felt a little envious.

What a wonderful thing it is to live in a palace built of jade.

"And!" Wang Yuanji added: "Most of the decorations and furniture inside the palace are made of gold."

As soon as Wang Yuanji finished speaking, Zhang Yang had a look of surprise on her face.

"How can it be so luxurious?" Zhang Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chan turned around and laughed loudly: "Don't be surprised, that palace was built by the Parthians in the past."

"At that time, the Parthians were considered a powerful nation in the Western Regions;" Liu Chan paused before sighing: "But when they were powerful, they only cared about pleasure and spent a lot of money on building luxurious palaces.

."

Zhang Yang just said oh, as long as it wasn't Liu Yan or Liu Chan who did it. As the empress of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yang also knew that greed for pleasure would destroy a prosperous dynasty.

While several people were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly.

Wang Yuanji leaned out of the window again, then turned back and said: "Your Majesty, Yan'er is waiting for His Majesty at the gate of the city."

"Oh???"

When Liu Chan heard this, he also looked out the window.

At this time, the motorcade was already approaching the city gate, less than five miles away.

Looking from a distance, there are many people standing under the city gate.

They are arranged neatly.

"Your Majesty!" A junior high school student ran to the carriage, bowed and said, "King Ming has prepared a dragon chariot guard of honor for Your Majesty. Please move it."

Oh... Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, and then said with satisfaction: "Yan'er has grown up!"

"Yan'er has grown up!"
