Before the Parthian envoys arrived in Liangzhou, news about them had already been passed along the road. As for Luoyang, the temple had built many post stations in recent years, and the number of postmen was also large.
, it was relatively fast. In less than two months, the news had spread to Luoyang. Naturally, the first person to learn about it was Dahonglu Zhao Wen. As his name suggests, this veteran minister is a
A very kind old man.
When I learned that the Anxi envoys were coming, I thought for a moment and decided to report it to the emperor. Usually when envoys come, Zhao Wen is responsible for it alone and will not disturb the Houde Hall. However, this time it is a little different.
After all, it was a big country. In these years, because the emperor focused on developing Xizhou, Dahonglu and Zhao Wen also had some knowledge of the situation outside the Great Wall. Outside the Great Wall, there were only three states that could become the rivals of the Han Dynasty.
Among them, Guishang was the closest to the Han Dynasty, and was almost destroyed by the Han Dynasty. It had no choice but to give up the territory in the north and manage the fertile areas in the south with peace of mind. In these years, the national power has increased somewhat, but they seem to have a phobia against the Han Dynasty. They
If the army encounters the patrolling Southern Army, they will flee without looking back and have no courage to confront them. In addition, there is this Anxi, and there is another one whose name is not very good, but it is called Da Qin. Zhao Wen once submitted a memorial, hoping that the temple can change its attitude.
Their names.
He once met merchants from the so-called Great Qin. According to the transliteration, it is correct to call them "popular countries".
However, due to the long distance, the emperor didn't seem to care much about his name. As long as he could understand it, I, a big man, had little interaction with them. At most, it was just business activities, so why bother with the empire?
In terms of name, Rome called Kushan the Eastern Empire because of the long distance. Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish the difference between it and the Han Dynasty. However, Parthia bordered the Kushan, so he called the Han Dynasty the Eastern Empire, while Kushan and the others called it the Eastern Empire.
For the country of Serbia.
When Zhao Wen arrived at the Houde Hall, the emperor was eating. The papers were filled with all kinds of meat, exuding a charming flavor. The emperor was eating happily, praising the chef's skills from time to time. He was praising,
Suddenly Huangmen came in and reported: "Country! Dahonglu Zhao Wen wants to see you!" The big fat man was stunned, lowered his head, looked at the delicacies on the slip, frowned, and thought for a long time.
Zhao Wen is already in his 60s, so he shouldn’t eat too much, right?
Forget it, forget it, he is his own minister after all.
The big fat man then waved his hand and said: "Bring him here!" Huangmen walked out. Not long after, Zhao Wen entered the Houde Hall tremblingly. The emperor waved his hand and said kindly: "
Mr. Zhao, come quickly, this food is almost cold!!" Zhao Wen saw the emperor eating and knew that he came at the wrong time, so he wanted to confess to the emperor. The big fat man quickly stood up and held his hand.
He sat directly in front of him.
"Mr. Zhao, there is no need to be so polite. Just sit down."
Zhao Wen sat in front of the emperor, a little embarrassed, and said: "What should I do? As a minister, how can I do this?" The big fat man ignored this and asked Zhao Wen to take the bowls and chopsticks, and then ordered Zhao Wen to eat with him. Zhao Wen also
After only tasting a few mouthfuls, he looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor to finish. The fat man said: "Mr. Zhao, if you have something to do, you'd better tell me quickly. I don't have any free time these days."
"Our Situ Cao is really too diligent. He makes one policy after another, and even I can't have a moment of peace. Minister Ling Guo Jia also fell seriously ill this year, and is still lying on the bed. That man is
A real madman, in the past years, he has never complained about the heavy workload, but now, he is almost crazy because of Situ's fatigue. He is particularly afraid of Cao Situ. I ordered Situ not to look for Guo Jia again, and gave him a few months of order to the minister.
It’s time to rest. As a result, Situ didn’t come to see Guo Jia, but he came to see me.”
Listening to the big fat man's complaints, Zhao Wen smiled. The big fat man's words were not like the words of the emperor and his ministers, but like the complaints of the juniors and their elders. This is what Zhao Wen likes most about the emperor. Everyone in the world says that today
The Emperor is different from Emperor Xiaokang, but Zhao Wen just feels that the Emperor is more like a normal person. He complains, is happy, and is angry. He also talks to ministers and reveals his true feelings. As for Emperor Xiaokang, what is he thinking in his heart?
No one knows what you want to do.
Emperor Xiaokang was an almost perfect emperor, and it was this perfection that made him less human.
"Your Majesty, Cao Situ's diligence is truly admired by all ministers."
"Still admired?? Everyone was almost killed by him!!" The emperor glanced at him and continued to eat.
"Your Majesty, I have received a report from Xizhou. The Parthian envoys are heading towards Luoyang. They will definitely arrive in less than two months." Zhao Wen said. The emperor was stunned, raised his head, and thought.
Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "I know why they came. Before I knew why they came, Chen Deng reported to me that the number of merchants in Anxi has been decreasing recently, and instead there have been a lot of refugees, all of whom fled from Anxi.
It is said that there was a rebellion there, a very serious rebellion."
"If I think correctly, I'm afraid they are here to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, or they hope to let us help them suppress the rebellion." The emperor said, and Zhao Wen suddenly realized that it is no wonder that this empire that does not border the Han Dynasty would send envoys to come.
Come on, it turned out that he had this idea. Zhao Wen frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"This needs to be discussed by the ministers. I have thought about it, but to be honest, I still hope to send some people to help them calm down."
"Oh?" Zhao Wen was a little surprised.
"My big man is a country of benevolence and righteousness. We are destined by destiny. This world is unfair. I, the big man, should naturally take care of Dahonglu. What do you think?" The big fat man asked. Zhao Wen shook his head and said: "With my national power,
It is really unwise to help other countries."
The emperor didn't object, he just laughed and said, "That's alright, let the ministers come and discuss it."
Zhao Wen and the emperor discussed the reception matters and then got up to leave. Zhao Wen just stood up and looked at the emperor who was eating and drinking, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you still can't overeat. Your Majesty is in good health."
, is the most important event in the world, I hope your Majesty will take it seriously."
Faced with Zhao Wen's persuasion, the fat man raised his head and nodded with a smile before swallowing the meat in his mouth.
Zhao Wen left without eating too much meat. The big fat man was very happy. He ate all kinds of meat. The big fat man stroked his round belly with satisfaction. He had grown up. He was still
When the prince was a prince, he had to abide by all the strict regulations in the palace. There were restrictions on eating and not eating too much. It was the same when he first ascended the throne. Now, in the palace, except for the queen and the Han family, no one dares to persuade him.
He eats less.
The fat man smiled and stood up suddenly.
As soon as he got up, he suddenly felt darkness in front of his eyes, his whole body was shaking, severe dizziness, and headaches. Seeing the emperor's appearance, Xiao Huangmen on the side was stunned, and he rushed over and supported him.
Emperor, the big fat man shook his whole body a few times, but felt extremely nauseous. He couldn't help but wanted to vomit, but he just retched. Xiao Huangmen was frightened and shouted: "Here comes someone", he didn't say anything yet
After that, the big fat man stretched out his hand and covered his mouth.
"Don't scream," the big fat man said coldly.
Xiao Huangmen closed his mouth and his whole body was trembling.
The big fat man couldn't help but retched. After a long time, he finally calmed down. He sat on the chair and drank some water. He gradually calmed down. The big fat man's face was a little pale, and the veins on his forehead were beating slowly.
There was actually some fear in his heart. He looked at Huangmen aside and said, "Don't tell others these things. I just ate too much. It's okay."
Huang Men nodded, his expression as frightened as that of a fat man.
The big fat man sat for a long time, then slowly stood up and walked out of Houde Hall. The queen was looking after Princess Changling in the hall. The voice of the palace maid greeting the emperor came from outside the door. The queen hugged Princess Changling, put her on the ground, and said
: "Go find your father quickly!" Princess Changling has not yet grown up, she is still chubby, her eyes are very much like her mother's, very beautiful, she staggered towards the door, and said
He still calls me father.
The big fat man walked into the palace and saw the little guy. He smiled, picked her up and made various faces, making the princess laugh non-stop. Then he walked to the queen's side, and the two of them
They teased the little guy together. After another half an hour, the little guy felt sleepy, and then the palace maid took her away. The big fat man watched her leave, looked at the queen in front of him, stretched out his hand, and held her hand.
For some reason, his hands were trembling slightly. The Queen was stunned and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty? What happened?"
"I have never wanted to prevent the mastiffs from getting married early."
"Isn't it scheduled to be three years later?"
"It's better to get married as soon as possible. This boy is getting more and more naughty. There is someone by his side who can at least control him. Queen, what do you think?" The emperor asked cautiously. Looking at the emperor's appearance, the queen was still the same.
He nodded and said: "Okay, everything is at your Majesty's discretion. Then I will arrange the matter tomorrow. I have to see what other people think. If they don't want to, they can't force the marriage."
"Well it's better to be earlier"
"Your Majesty?" the queen asked. The fat man raised his head, looked at her, and gave her a gentle smile.
That night, the emperor stayed here, chatting with the queen all the time, and all his words were about Mastiff. Lying on the couch, the emperor was still a little worried, and said helplessly: "This kid, Mastiff, can't be a husband."
, as a father, every time I look at him, I seem to see him when he is five or six years old. He is still young, if..."
"Although your Majesty's mastiff is young, he is still very smart. Your Majesty, don't worry, he can do well."
"Can he do well? What should he do if he can't do well? It would be better if he was older, it would be better if he was older."
"If Your Majesty thinks that he is too young, wouldn't it be better to get married after three years? Why do you need to change the date?"
The queen asked, but the emperor did not reply, just remained silent.
Until late at night, everything was quiet.
Suddenly, the queen woke up. The emperor on the side stretched out his hand and held her arm tightly. His whole body was trembling, sweat was rolling down his forehead. He seemed a little uneasy and frightened. He breathed rapidly. The queen hurriedly
He sat up and asked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little scared that I won't do it."
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I am here, and I will always be here. Don't be afraid." The queen hugged the emperor tightly and kept comforting him.
The big fat man's trembling body gradually calmed down, and with the Queen's comfort, he fell asleep and began to snore. The Queen felt a little distressed and caressed the Emperor's hair until he fell asleep.
