Chapter 485 Hard-hearted

During this period, Zhang Yue finally lived a comfortable life, and no major events happened inside or outside the Western Regions.

Under the mediation of the Han army, the war between the Parthian Empire and Dawan had subsided.

After the Kushan people digested the conquered Southern Daxia area, they did not continue to move eastward or southward, but turned the direction of expansion to the west.

It was precisely because of the actions of the Kushan people that the Parthian Empire had to accept the mediation of the Han Dynasty and withdraw from Dawan.

From the south, Liu Yi led his troops to cross the Indus River for the first time, and after wreaking havoc on the territory of the Capricorn Kingdom for a month, they calmly returned to the north bank of the Indus River.

This time Liu Yi not only brought back more than a thousand carts of gold, but also plundered nearly 10,000 female slaves.

Liu Yi's actions made the King of Capricorn very angry and vowed to make the big man pay the price.

But the weak military power made his anger look more like a joke.

In terms of religious beliefs, the promotion of Taoism has also been very smooth. With the help of the Han army's swords, most of the countries in the Western Regions have converted to Taoism.

Fifty-two of the fifty-six countries in the Western Regions have established Taoist temples.

The only four countries that have not yet converted are Kangju, Yancai, Dawan and Wusun.

Although the two countries of Dayuan and Wusun have not converted yet, King Chanfeng of Dayuan and Kunmo Yuanguimi of Wusun have also sent envoys to Luntai to actively discuss the matter with the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Yue also expressed his understanding of this. After all, the power of Zoroastrianism in these two countries is deeply rooted, and even the kings do not dare to act lightly.

As for the Hu sect forces in the army, they have also been wiped out.

All officers and soldiers who believed in Hu religion were purged from the army.

…

On this day, Zhang Yue invited his three wives to the lobby after finishing the morning meal.

"Why did Alang call me to come?"

As the eldest lady, Mrs. Zhang Guo was naturally the first to speak.

After Mr. Zhang Guo spoke, the second lady and the third lady, who felt vaguely uneasy, also asked.

Zhang Yue smiled: "Madam, please sit down quietly."

Zhang Yue first helped Mrs. Guo to sit next to him, and then took the second lady and the third lady to sit down.

Zhang Yue's behavior made the three women feel even more uneasy.

The third lady was always the most impatient. After sitting down, she asked bluntly: "Why did Alang summon my three sisters here?"

Zhang Yue did not rush to answer when he heard this, but first served a glass of juice to each of his three wives.

"Ladies, how about you try the juice that I made myself first!"

The three of them looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

"The sun rises from the west today, does Alang understand this?"

The second lady glanced at her and said loudly

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "There are still a lot of things from So-and-so. If Madam likes So-and-so to do more in the future..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a little tear in the corner of Guo's eyes.

"Alang hasn't said this for thirty years..."

Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then he dug out the memories of the two of them when they were young from the depths of his memory.

Looking at Mrs. Zhang Guo's expression, he felt a little unbearable.

But he soon suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart.

"Alang, if you have any questions, just speak up..."

Guo, who knew Zhang Yue best, adjusted her mood and asked directly.

Zhang Yue looked around the three of them and said: "Three ladies, the sages have said that parents who love their children have far-reaching plans..."

Zhang Yue no longer concealed anything and blurted out his plan at once.

"What, Alang, you actually want to send all the children to the private sector!"

The second wife, who usually doted on several children the most, jumped up first.

"Alang, how can you do this? The children are still young. As an adult, you are not afraid of the children's shortcomings?"

The third lady then jumped up to express her objection.

Zhang Yue took the hands of the two ladies and said, "The ladies and children are surrounded by guards for protection, so there is no need to worry about their safety..."

Although Mrs. Guo understood Zhang Yue's approach, she shed tears again when she thought about such a young child having to live alone outside.

"Can't Alang wait until the children are a few years older before doing this?"

Zhang Yue said with firm eyes: "It is precisely because the children are still young that we should make early plans."

The second lady heard Zhang Yue's firm words and said sadly: "Alang, all the people in the world have worked hard all their lives to make their children and grandchildren rich..."

Zhang Yue sighed after hearing this: "My family, Zhang, is already extremely wealthy. If I am not careful, I will be shattered to pieces..."

"If the children of the Zhang family are dandy, they will bring disaster to me, the Zhang family!"

The third lady was surprised when she heard this: "Even so, there is no need to send the children to the people!"

At this time, Zhang Yue patiently explained the reasons and purpose of doing so in detail.

Then he used the incident of Zhang Buyi as negative teaching material.

At this time, the three ladies had been gradually convinced by Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue struck again while the iron was hot, using the story of the founding princes who lost their country to once again strengthen the persuasiveness of his words.

Finally, Mr. Guo finally agreed to the matter.

Guo said: "Alang's words are quite reasonable. Children and grandchildren should endure some hardships if they want to grow up. We mothers must also think deeply for our children..."

"Didn't that boy Su Fei become a talented person under Alang's guidance..."

After Guo's words, the second lady and the third lady finally agreed to Zhang Yue's decision.

The second lady sighed and said, "Just follow Alang's decision!"

"Third sister, please call all the children out now!"

Zhang Yue rubbed his hands happily and said, "No, madam, I've already asked someone to pick up all the boys!"

"What!"

The three ladies jumped up almost simultaneously.

"How could Alang do this? Do you think our three sisters are fools?"

Guo asked loudly and dissatisfied.

Zhang Yue knew that he was wrong and did not defend himself, so he let the three ladies take turns to vent their anger.

…

In order to educate his boys well, Zhang Yue also took great pains.

Not only should we let the boys understand the sufferings of the people, but we should also ensure safety.

In the end, the three boys were sent to Yuanqu, Gumo, and Yancheng by Zhang Yue.

After arranging the three boys, Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But what makes Zhang Yue more troublesome is that his three wives will come to make trouble with him from time to time.

Fortunately, when outsiders were around, the three ladies still gave them a lot of face.

Although Zhang Yue appeared to be hard-hearted, he actually sent people to pay attention to the four boys who were sent out.

I learned that Zhang Yue sent several of his boys to various places to accept civilian life.

Feng Fengshi and Yang You, who had known about this for a long time, cruelly sent their boy away.

After Zhang Huan returned to Luntai from the poison, he was silent for a long time after learning that all four of his brothers had been sent away by the adults.

After thinking about it for a while, he already understood the Lord's good intentions.

After having a meal with Zhang Yue, he took the initiative to ask Zhang Yue to persuade his mother.

Naturally, Zhang Yue would not object. With Zhang Huan's persuasion, the three ladies finally forgave Zhang Yue.

After Zhang Yue rewarded Zhang Huan, he took the initiative to ask about Zhang Huan's drug status.

When asked by the adults, Zhang Huan proudly recounted his experience of being poisoned in detail.
