Dian Belongs to the Prime Minister

The emperor suddenly stood up!

"Pass on my decree and order Captain Chang Shui to lead his troops and horses into Linzi..."

"Edict to King Jiaodong, King Zhao enters Chang'an to congratulate..."

"Doctor Xu Yan investigated the merchants who smuggled salt and iron in Qilu... engaged in personal fraud, gave and received privately... and went to Tingwei Prison"

Then the emperor issued an order, "The wealthy families in Guandong often do illegal things... order the move to Maoling..."

"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

…

It was already mid-December when Zhang Yue and his party arrived in Zhangye.

He originally intended to visit Han Feng, but he didn't know that Han Feng had already been transferred to Yanmen to clean up the mess left by Gongsun Ao.

Fortunately, a few other people were still there, and it was quite a happy gathering with a few old friends.

There was no mention of the attack on him on the road.

After three happy days in Zhangye, Zhang Yue, Li Si and others said goodbye to their old friends and set off again.

Hurrying slowly, I finally arrived in Chang'an a month ago.

Chang'an in winter is still so majestic and majestic, but it has a more chilling atmosphere.

Because this was a troubled time, Zhang Yue did not allow everyone to enter the city.

Only Li Si and Li Si each brought more than 10 personal guards into Chang'an, and the rest were placed outside the city.

This time Zhang Yue and others entered Chang'an through Hengmen.

A group of more than 20 people, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, swaggered through the market, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.

When they arrived outside Hengmen, the Second Division General's Mansion and the Yunyang Marquis Mansion had already sent people waiting.

Therefore, they were still burdened with official duties when they returned to Beijing, so neither of them was suitable to return home immediately.

"You guys will go back to your home first to inform your wife. I and Li Junhou will go to the department to report before you can go back..."

After Zhang Yue made an explanation, he and Li Si went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Originally, according to the Han system, the Taiwei should be in charge of the affairs of each army.

However, after the emperor took office, in order to strengthen his own power, he dismissed the Taiwei and appointed Da Sima as the commander-in-chief of the entire army and in charge of the military affairs.

However, since the death of Huo Qubing, the hussar general of the Grand Sima, the emperor has not appointed a new Grand Sima. In fact, the emperor himself is in charge of the military.

Theoretically, the two of them should go directly to see the emperor.

However, Zhang Yue and Li Si were humble and had no choice but to pay a visit to the Prime Minister first.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Si did not go with Zhang Yue again.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yue, he followed the people from the Second Master's Mansion back to the Second Master's Mansion.

Zhang Yue led his men and horses to the Yunyang Hou Mansion.

Soon Zhang Yue and his party had returned to the Hou Mansion in Shangguanli.

Compared with other palaces in Chang'an, Yunyang Palace is far behind other houses except for its area.

The entire Hou Mansion only has a dozen maids rewarded by the emperor, and the others are servants given by the Second Master Mansion.

When Zhang Yue arrived outside the mansion, the middle door of Hou's mansion was already wide open.

His wife, Mrs. Zhang Guo, and her servants were already waiting outside the gate of the mansion.

Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling warm in his heart and jumped off the horse.

My wife, Mrs. Zhang Guo, has already paid her respects solemnly.

"I have met Mr. Lang, please take off your armor!"

This was the custom in Guanzhong and Bashu at this time. When a husband goes to war, his wife must wear armor for him.

When a husband returns from war, his wife must disarm him.

This is true from the noble princes to the good family members of every county.

Zhang Yue returned his greeting, "Thank you, madam!"

The two completed the armor-removing ceremony in strict accordance with etiquette.

After entering the house, a maid came over holding a seven or eight-year-old baby.

Zhang Yue stepped forward excitedly. Looking at this little life, Zhang Yue had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Is this my child?"

"I actually have a child!"

"I am actually an adult (the name given to parents in the Han Dynasty)..."

Although he already knew that his wife had given birth to a child for him half a year ago, how could he compare what he imagined in his mind and what he saw with his own eyes.

He carefully took the child, and as a first-time father, he was overjoyed.

Hold the child in your arms and look at it carefully. The more you look at it, the happier you become.

He saw the continuation of his own bloodline in this little child...

After teasing the child for a long time, the wife returned the child to the wet nurse after several urgings.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Zhang Yue bowed solemnly.

A speechless night!

…

The next day, Zhang Yue entered the palace before dawn to wait for the emperor's summons.

The place where the emperor summoned Zhang Yue this time was the famous Xuanshi.

After waiting boringly for a long time, it was finally his turn.

I originally thought that the emperor would have a confrontation with me, but unexpectedly he just asked a few insignificant questions.

Zhang Yue was prepared for this and just answered in a normal manner.

The emperor then gave him a few simple words of encouragement and let him go back.

In the afternoon, he received a new appointment.

"Except for Yunyang Hou Yuedian, he belongs to the state's prime minister... and he will be added as a regular servant..."

Zhang Yue accepted the order in a daze, and after asking for advice, he realized that he, the prime minister of the Dian Kingdom, did not need to go to work in the Dian Kingdom, it was just for convenience.

However, the addition of the official position of Zhongchang Shi made him feel really uncomfortable, because this official position had become exclusive to eunuchs during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Listening to this official title always reminds him of the "Ten Permanent Attendants" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!

However, he was very satisfied with the appointment of Dian Shu Guocheng.

After all, the Western Region is far away from Chang'an, so it is impossible to report everything. Otherwise, if you wait for Chang'an's reply when something big happens, the day lily will probably be cold.

…

While Zhang Yue was active in Chang'an City, the Yunyang Returning Group had also returned to Yunyang County.

These people who returned home have been ordered to spread the word about the beautiful life in the Western Regions.

Therefore, after these people return home, they go around visiting relatives and friends in bright clothes every day.

Soon, legends about how rich and beautiful the Western Regions were spread among the countryside.

"I heard that there are gold, pearls and jade everywhere in Qiuci, but no one cares about them when they are thrown into the river..."

"My family... said that after entering Luntai, every family has a field and every household has a horse..."

"Not only that, I heard that Hu Ji was also given..."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Of course, the man named Gou'er from Gaoyao Township got a wife after he made great achievements in the Western Regions...I heard that he was going to take his master to Luntai this time to enjoy his blessings.

"How wonderful the Western Region is. I heard that we big men are still fighting against the barbarians, right?"

"Yes, yes, during the Taichu years, many people, young and old, went to the Western Regions to die..."

"What you are talking about happened in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Ever since the Marquis of Yunyang became the Marquis of the Western Regions, there are still people who dare to offend the Han people..."

During these days before and after, throughout Yunyang County and its surrounding counties, the most talked about thing was about the Western Regions.

In the end, it's often, "So and so... I'm not as good as so and so. Weicheng wanted to go to the Western Regions for so many years, but he actually became a bitch... If his family hadn't stopped him that day, I don't know what would have happened to so and so...

…”

Some people who had signed up last time but temporarily backed out were inevitably complained by their wives and children at home, and ridiculed by the locals.

These people are holding back their anger, hoping that Marquis Yunyang will recruit people to go to the Western Regions again.

After hearing that Zhang Yue returned to Beijing again, everyone began to inquire four times whether they would recruit people to the Western Regions this time...
Chapter completed!
