Finally got what he wanted

In April of the first year of the Second Year, the emperor officially issued an edict to open the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Former general Jia Weiyuan and general Yue were appointed as the first generals to protect the country.

Guo Kai, the captain of the garrison camp, was moved to the rank of cavalry captain, and Han Jiang, the pinglu captain, was appointed the strong crossbow captain.

Pang Yi was worshiped as a Marquis of Guannei for his achievements in making armor, and was moved to the rank of Shaofu Cheng. He was promoted to an official of Qianshi.

In order to understand the specific situation of the Han Dynasty Protectorate in the Western Regions.

In May of the first year of the Later Emperor's reign, the emperor ordered Dr. Guanglu Zhang Anshi to serve as an envoy to the Western Regions to observe the politics of the Western Regions.

When the news reached the Western Regions, Zhang Yuezheng was discussing with everyone the matter of the military commanders.

Hearing that Zhang Anshi was coming to Luntai, Zhang Yue couldn't help but recall Zhang Anshi's information.

Zhang Anshi was born into a prominent family. He was the son of Zhang Tang, a famous official in the Western Han Dynasty and known as a cruel official. He was also one of the "Eleven Heroes of Qilin Pavilion" later.

He initially entered the official position as a Langguan from Menyin, and was later awarded the title of Shangshu Ling and moved to Guanglu.

Although Zhang Anshi was not the emperor's minister, his influence in Chang'an was not small.

During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he worshiped the right general Guang Luxun and was granted the title of Marquis of Fuping County.

However, he was very low-key and never competed with Huo Guang for power.

It wasn't until Huo Guang's death that he really showed his talents.

During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he was promoted to the rank of Chief Sima, General of the Guard, and recorded the affairs of the Shangshu, integrating military and political power into one body.

Later generations evaluated him as being cautious by nature and honest as an official.

Such a big BOSS was going to the Western Regions for inspection, and Zhang Yue was quite nervous even though he was used to wind and rain.

"Everyone, I just received news that Zhang Anshi, the Guanglu doctor, will come to our Western Regions soon..."

Everyone was talking a lot after hearing this.

"Junhou, who is this Anshi...isn't he here to cause trouble?"

someone asked.

Zhang Yue laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "You are too worried... Doctor Guanglu is a famous minister... This visit to the Western Regions may not be of great benefit to you..."

Zhao Guanghan heard this but said, "What good can you do if you meet an official from Chang'an..."

When Yang You heard this, he smiled from the side and said, "Captain Zhao, don't underestimate Dr. Guanglu. He is a close official of the emperor... A word can decide our life or death..."

Zhao Guanghan exclaimed, "So awesome..."

Everyone is very interested in the upcoming Guanglu doctor Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Yue simply took this opportunity to introduce some information about Zhang Anshi to everyone.

He also warned everyone not to bump into Dr. Guanglu at that time.

Everyone awe-inspiringly accepted the “promise”!

Because Zhang Anshi was coming soon, Zhang Yue decided to postpone the Luntai Grand Parade after discussing with everyone.

Now it's time to show Chang'an's strength.

And Zhang Anshi is his best choice to show his strength to Chang'an.

…

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month in the first year of the lunar calendar, Dr. Zhang Anshi, the official of Guanglu, was the chief envoy, and Dr. Du Ling was the deputy envoy. They went out to Chang'an to inspect the politics of the Western Regions.

Also accompanying him were Fu Jiezi, the supervisor of Pingyue, Bingji, the Langguan, and others.

Zhang Anshi was actually not happy about this mission to the Western Regions.

Since February of the first year of his reign, the emperor's health has been deteriorating.

Anyone could see that the Emperor's time was numbered.

As a close confidant of the emperor, the best choice at this time is to stay with the emperor instead of going to the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

If the emperor dies while others are in the Western Regions, they will be in tears.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi moved very slowly in the first few days. No matter how Du Ling and others urged him, he always maintained the "super speed" of traveling thirty miles a day.

However, when he received a silk letter from Chang'an, he immediately changed his attitude and accelerated his pace.

…

In the Second Division General's Mansion, Li Guangli looked at the wine pot in front of him with a sad expression.

Although he had expected it, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Mrs. Li Guangli sat opposite Li Guangli with a similarly forlorn expression.

"Why would your Majesty do this..."

She looked at the wine bottle with tears in her eyes.

Li Guangli smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty wants to eliminate threats to the new emperor!"

"The king of Changyi is dead, how can the prince threaten the new emperor..."

Li Guangli shook his head, "You don't understand..."

After saying that, he no longer hesitated, laughed, and picked up the wine bottle...

An hour later, the messenger in beautiful clothes reported to the emperor.

"General Haixi Marquis Li Guangli of the Second Division died... His wife had many complaints..."

The emperor was silent after hearing the memorial, and issued an edict the next day, "The general of the second division, Haixi Hou Guangli, does not care about the king's kindness...conspired to rebel...to eliminate the country...the Yi tribe!"

The edict was issued, and the entire Chang'an quickly fell into a bloody storm.

In the following period, ministers were accused every day, and Tingwei Prison was overcrowded in just half a month...

In the end, as many as a thousand people died due to Li Guangli's involvement.

Tens of thousands of people were exiled to various places, and the imperial court in Chang'an was completely empty.

…

On August 22nd of the first year of Hou, Zhang Anshi and his party finally arrived in Luntai.

In order to express their welcome, Zhang Yue and others went out of the city thirty miles to greet him.

"Former General Yunyang Hou Yue, pays homage to the angel... May your Majesty live forever!"

After Zhang Yue and Zhang Anshi greeted each other as usual, they took the same car to Luntai City.

The two of them seemed to be chatting along the way, but in fact they were just testing each other.

"Marquis Yunyang was able to build such a place in the Western Region. It's really a great achievement for his hard work..."

"How dare you, how dare you, Doctor Guanglu serves your majesty... How can you compare to such a vulgar person..."

The two of them explored the place all the way, and before they knew it, Luntai City appeared in everyone's eyes.

Even Zhang Anshi had seen the information about Luntai in the report. He couldn't help but be shocked at this time.

Du Ling, Fu Jiezi and others who were originally sitting in the passenger car couldn't help but stand up at this time.

The doctor Du Ling couldn't help but said, "I never thought that there would be such a big city in the Western Regions!"

After the group entered the city, they were even more amazed when they saw the scene of people coming and going in the city.

Du Ling even sighed, "Even Handan and Linzi are not as good as that!"

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said, "How can Luntai be compared with Linzi? I heard that there are more than 100,000 households and more than one million people in Linzi city..."

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Although there are millions of people in Linzi, they are not as wealthy and happy as this place!"

Fu Jiezi and Bingji also sighed, "They all say that the Western Region is bitter and cold, but who knew it could be such a kind place..."

The group entered the city from the east gate of Luntai, walked straight for about two miles, and then turned two turns south, but they already arrived at the place where envoys were received in Luntai.

After everyone settled down, Zhang Yue said he was on official business and left.

That night, Zhang Yue held a reception dinner for Zhang Anshi and his party in his mansion.

Although there were not many expensive ingredients at the dinner, they were all cooked using new cooking methods.

Zhang Anshi and others were satisfied. At the end of the banquet, Zhang Yue informed in advance about the Luntai review three days later and invited Zhang Anshi and his party to observe the troops.

Zhang Anshi and his party valued the strength of the Han army in the Western Regions the most, and they readily agreed upon hearing this.

However, Fu Jiezi and Na Du Ling were more concerned about the people's livelihood in Luntai.

After some discussion, the two decided to take the white dragon fish...
