Chapter 49 Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who pacified the Western Regions (Part 2)

On the way back to Chang'an, Zheng Ji told Madou Dou and Zhi Guoguo many new things he had seen in the Western Regions, as well as the influence of the Han Dynasty on surrounding countries.

From Zheng Ji's description, Madoudou deeply felt the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Time passed quickly, and after a long journey, Zheng Ji finally returned to Chang'an safely one month later with Madoudou and Zhiguoguo.

Brother and sister Madoudou and Zhi Guoguo looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Chang'an City in front of them. It seemed to be more prosperous than before.

Business travelers from various countries can be seen everywhere, some with blue eyes and some with green eyes. They wear different clothes and speak broken Chinese. Their communication is closer because of the common language.

Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were amazed when they saw the prosperous scene in front of them on the carriage.

"You see, these merchants from various countries who have come from far away have settled in Chang'an City. They have learned our language, learned our etiquette, and sold our silk and tea to countries all over the world through the Western Regions."

Soon the news of Zheng Ji's return to Chang'an City reached Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun. Liu Xun personally led all the civil and military officials to welcome Zheng Ji's return with a full load at the palace gate.

Because of Zheng Ji's relationship, Madou Dou and Zhi Guoguo, the two brothers and sisters witnessed the true appearance of Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

"Sister, this is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun who pacified the Western Regions. He realized the rule of the Han Dynasty over the Western Regions and made all countries in the Western Regions surrender to the Han Dynasty."

Listening to Madoudou's evaluation of Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun, Zhi Guoguo's eyes were full of admiration for Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun also noticed Madoudou and Zhiguoguo standing next to Zheng Xi. He looked at Zheng Ji in confusion. "Zheng Aiqing, who is next to you?"

Zheng Ji knelt on the ground in fear and explained to Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun, "Your Majesty, these two brothers and sisters are distinguished guests I met in the Western Regions. They came from very far away. Because they admire Your Majesty, they traveled thousands of miles."

Follow me back to Chang'an."

"A place far away?" Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun looked at the clothes on Madoudou and Zhiguoguo. Although he had learned about the customs and costumes of various countries through envoys from various countries, it was like Madoudou and Zhiguoguo's clothes in front of him.

It was the first time Liu Xun saw him dressed up.

Madoudou took Zhi Guoguo's hand and knelt on the ground. The brother and sister knelt down devoutly to Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, my name is Madou Doudou, and my sister's name is Zhi Guoguo. We come from far away, and the clothes we wear are the clothes of our hometown. Because we admire your Majesty's reputation, my sister and I begged Uncle Zheng to

, let him take us to Chang'an to meet His Majesty."

Madoudou's words made Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun very happy.

"Come, please get up, brother and sister. Since you are guests thousands of miles away and Zheng Aiqing's guests, I should treat you well."

That night, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun held a feast for Zheng Ji in the palace. Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were also warmly entertained by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun at the feast.

During the banquet, envoys from various countries sent congratulatory gifts to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun picked up his wine glass and looked at everyone present.

"Today I am very happy. I, the great Han Dynasty, have inherited the past and inherited generations. Zheng Aiqing has finally established the Western Region Protectorate in the Western Regions, which has promoted the national prestige of my great Han Dynasty and stabilized the people's livelihood and well-being of the people in the Western Regions. Here, I would like to pay a toast to Zheng Aiqing.

.”

The banquet of welcoming the wind and washing the dust finally came to an end in the midst of the feast. Zheng Ji was still a little reluctant to say goodbye to Madou Doudou and Zhi Guoguo.

Madoudou and Zhi Guoguo came forward and hugged Zheng Ji, "Uncle, there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. Thank you for letting us see the vivid Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty. We will keep it in our hearts and wish uncle all the best in the Western Regions."

, be safe and sound.”
