Fearing that something might happen again, Ambassador Zhou didn't waste any more time after handing over his credentials, packed his luggage and quickly set off on his way back.
Xiliang has also begun preparations here. The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is famous for his benevolence and filial piety. The Empress Dowager's 70th birthday is a big event. Xiliang, as a friendly neighbor, should take it seriously.
Hotan jade, Uzbek wool carpets, good horses, various spices, and rare things special to the Western Regions. As for how to match and combine them, that is what the people below are thinking about. Yuan Feng’s mind is full of the shadow of his father, who looks like him.
The mysterious man, the legendary man who rescued thousands of people from the misery of foreign rule, the romantic man who was proficient in poetry, lyrics and songs, and had a harem of three thousand, where did he come from, who was his last name, and what kind of death did he die from?
The conspiracy, he couldn't wait to know all of it.
Time flies, and it has been twenty years in the blink of an eye. As time goes by, fewer and fewer people know about this matter. Now that I have gained a certain strength, it is time to investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.
Yuan Feng decided to follow the mission to the Central Plains. On the one hand, he would explore the traces left by his father, and on the other hand, he would inspect the local customs and customs of the Central Plains to prepare for his future eastward march.
Regardless of whether he is the orphan of the former Han emperor, it is imperative to march eastward to the Central Plains. It is impossible for Xiliang and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to coexist peacefully. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and how can one allow others to snore next to the bed?
Neither the emperor nor the lord of Xiliang would tolerate the existence of a strong neighbor.
In addition to the huge mission, there were also a large number of people from the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Department of Military and Horse Statistics infiltrating into the Central Plains in batches.
You need to be polite.
It is already August, and there is still one year and one month before the Queen Mother's birthday. Xiliang is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, so it is necessary to give sufficient preparation time. The mission is still collecting and preparing gifts and arranging personnel, and the Transport Department and
The first batch of personnel from the Military Command Department have quietly left.
It's been a long time since I've been to the Central Plains. Although a country cannot live without a king for a day, Xiliang is a special case.
It's nothing to worry about. Given the relationship between the Qiang people, they won't use weapons.
Yuan Feng left, but Cao Yanhui was still there. He was originally the lord of Liangzhou, with extremely high prestige, and he was also a conservative king. He was not as good as Yuan Feng in opening up new territories. In terms of management, Yuan Feng was not as good as him. He left the country to Lao
Cao, Yuanfeng can rest assured.
Even if there is no general in the country, Zhao Ding'an, the hussar general, cannot follow him. The army must have someone to control it. This task is most suitable for the senior, decisive and resolute Zhao Ding'an.
After everything was settled, another two months passed. Outside Liangzhou City, Cao Yanhui and Zhao Ding'an bid farewell to Yuan Feng incognito. In the golden autumn of October, the sky was high and the fields were vast. Zhao Ding'an picked up a bowl of wine and said: "Go to the front station first.
Now that we are familiar with the journey, we will arrive soon and see you in the capital."
Yuan Feng also picked up the bowl: "Okay, see you there or see you!" After saying that, the two of them drank it in one gulp, their pride soaring into the sky.
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. After all, the water in this corner of Xiliang is too shallow. If you are a real dragon, you have to travel across the world. I am waiting for your good news." Cao Yanhui also raised a bowl of wine.
Yuan Feng bowed to the end: "Master Cao, I rely on you to take care of the whole family. It's my turn to honor you with this bowl of wine."
"There is no need to worry about anything in the family. Just try your best to find the real culprit who killed the late emperor and get everything back that belongs to you." Cao Yanhui said, and he did it first.
Yuan Feng nodded deeply, drank the wine in one gulp, smashed the wine bowl, and got on his horse. The violent food horse was extremely tame under his control. Yuan Feng cupped his fists and said, "Take care!" After that, he galloped away.
.
A group of cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, also followed closely, and thousands of people galloped towards the rising sun.
Cao Yanhui, Zhao Ding'an and others watched Yuan Fengyuan go away. After a long time, Cao Yanhui sighed: "This child really looks like his father..."
…
There is no need to disguise yourself on the road from Liangzhou to Lanzhou. Gansu is already within the sphere of influence of Xiliang, and the new Gansu Army was built on the basis of Xiliang soldiers. When passing through the state and the capital, the Xiliang Army will be like
It's like marching across one's own territory, and wherever he goes, the people welcome him with baskets of food and pots of pulp on the streets.
All the way to Lanzhou Prefecture, the Xiliang army restrained somewhat. The army camped outside the city. Yuan Feng quietly entered the city with his troops. Fan Liangchen had been notified and greeted him in front of the government office early. When he saw Yuan Feng arriving, Fan Liangchen
The governor bowed his head and said: "The foreign ministers are here to see your majesty."
Yuan Feng quickly got off his horse and helped him: "What are you talking about? We are sworn brothers, where are these false gifts?"
After saying that, they joined hands and entered the hall. The governor's pacesetters standing guard along the way all stood at attention and saluted. The soldiers in the governor's palace were all the elite soldiers from Xiliang who Yuan Feng was coming to serve. This may be a way for Fan Liangchen to express his loyalty.
Yuan Feng's itinerary was confidential, so the meeting was not held in the signing room, but in the main hall of the back house. The guests and the host were seated, and the servants served tea and then left. Fan Liangchen got up from his seat again, walked to the center of the room, and respectfully
Kowtow respectfully to Yuan Feng.
"Everything Fan has was given by His Majesty. If His Majesty had not come to rescue him, Fan would have been a cup of loess outside Lanzhou City, a lonely ghost who died in a foreign land. Now, with a purple robe and jade belt, he has great power and honors his ancestors. Although
I have no regrets in dying. There is only one thing that worries me, and that is the inability to repay Your Majesty's kindness. I, Fan Liangchen, hereby swear that as long as His Majesty says a word, Fan will die even if his heart and mind are shattered, swords and mountains of fire sea."
This is a sign of loyalty. Fan Liangchen is a kind man and one of the few loyal scholars among scholars. This is why Yuan Feng is willing to help him. From being reinstated to his post, to being promoted to Taoist priest, governor, and then to governor, almost Fan Liangchen is
Every time a good minister is promoted, he cannot do without Yuan Feng's help.
From Fan Liangchen's point of view, Yuan Feng was the great blessing in his life. From the moment he was awakened by firecrackers in the inn and was pulled by the eight-carriage sedan to build the Taoist platform, he decided that he would sell his life to
Yuan Feng's promotion to governor or governor was not his own ability, nor was it the emperor's appreciation, but the opportunity created by Yuan Feng for him, so he was not grateful to the Zhou Dynasty at all.

Then again, even if Fan Liangchen has different intentions, Gansu is close to Xiliang. People from Xiliang can go south and capture Lanzhou anytime and anywhere. It's not like he doesn't know this, so Fan Liangchen has been firmly tied up.
On the chariot in Xiliang, there is no other way to choose except moving forward.
Fan Liangchen was a feudal official, and he had a good relationship with the Minister of Household Affairs in the central court. They exchanged letters constantly, and they were all sent by official postal horse. He traveled very quickly, and naturally he could get a lot of information about the capital. For the capital
To people, it is worthless old news, but to people in the border areas, it is valuable information.
Because of this, Yuan Feng was able to deal with the Zhou envoys so boldly, thinking that he knew the bottom line of the Eastern Zhou people from the beginning, knew that they had no money in the treasury, and knew that they had not dared to fight in the past two years, so he could fight in that diplomatic struggle.
gained the upper hand and ultimately won.
After expressing his loyalty and exchanging pleasantries, Fan Liangchen talked about some of the personnel relationships in the court and various anecdotes. In fact, he only heard them from hearsay, but it was better than nothing. Through these unrelated stories, a picture of Zhou Dynasty was created.
The political context gradually became clear in Yuan Feng's mind.
"Master Liu has returned to Beijing. It is said that he is still idle, but it is a certainty that he will be promoted to the prime minister. If you have anything to do in Beijing, you can contact him..."
Hearing Fan Liangchen say this, Yuan Feng couldn't help but smile. Liu Songpo was not an easy character to get along with. Seeing him appear in the capital would definitely arouse many associations with him. It would be better to have less contact with him.
…
After being delayed for several days in Lanzhou, Yuan Feng had a new identity. He was the personal envoy of the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the Empress Dowager's Longevity Festival. Governors of all provinces had filial piety, and Fan Liangchen was no exception. In addition to the official gift, there was also a
Of course, officials at all levels of the imperial court had to take care of this personal filial piety. Fan Liangchen still understood this rule. He was not Wen Yan. No one in Gansu dared to mess with him.
Zhou, who neglected the big shots in the DPRK, would regret it after reading a book about him.
When the tribute from Gansu was ready, the delegation from Xiliang also arrived. Although it was still a long time before the Wanshou Festival, the capital was too far away and covered thousands of miles. The delegation was not marching to fight, so walking too fast would inevitably cause bumps and bruises.
We encountered those rare things, so it’s better to leave early.
The team wandered for a month and finally arrived in Chang'an.
At night, Yuchi Mansion, today is the birthday of the head of the family. During the day, many guests came. Yuchi Mansion was crowded, and even the prefect came to congratulate him in person. The birthday banquet was over, and the guests’ carriages and horses had all left. It was time
In late autumn, there were bleak and fallen leaves in front of the door. An old hospital man took a big broom and slowly swept the fallen leaves. Suddenly, under the illumination of the lantern on the wall, he saw a familiar figure, standing alone in front of the door.
The old dean rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, and murmured: "Miss..." After a closer look, it turned out that the lady was indeed back, wearing fox fur and wild boots, and looking like a Western Region, but her appearance had not changed.
, still so pretty and lovely.
The old hospital man threw away the broom and rushed to the hospital. His excited voice echoed through the Yuchi Mansion: "The lady is back! The lady is back!"
Not long after, the servants saw the master walking out of the study room quickly and walking towards the door without touching the ground. The always cautious master had never been so excited until Yuchi Guang was ten steps away from the door.
He slowed down his pace and walked slowly to the door. When he saw his graceful daughter in the night, the strong head of the Yuchi family couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"Jia'er..."
"Daddy!"
Yuchijia yelled and ran over, and Yuchiguang hurriedly stepped out of the door. Only then did he realize that there was a young man standing under the big tree not far behind his daughter.
