Liu Xin actually opposed the use of eunuchs. The incomplete bodies of these people often brought psychological perversions. However, when he really arrived in Chang'an and saw this majestic palace, he knew that the maidservants were indispensable. Indispensable, only then did the two eunuchs in the old palace, Li Ming and Zhang Gou'er, be called back.
Li Ming was originally an eunuch who kept poultry and birds in the palace. He trained the pigeons. His status in the palace was not high in the past, but he stayed in the palace for a long time and was familiar with the rules of the palace, so he was transferred by Liu Xin. To the side,
"Let him in," Liu Xin waved his hand when he heard that Cai He was back, and continued to say to Jushou: "Gongyou, you send someone to watch Cao Cao closely, and also inform Gongming that you must not let Yuan Shao's food fall into Cao Cao's hands. ,"
Jushou said, "Weichen thought that all the grain and grass on the front line of Yuan Shao were stored in Neihuang. If he wants to send the grain and grass to Cao Cao, he must be transported from Neihuang. A few days ago, General Guan attacked Neihuang without fruit, and instead attacked Yuan Jun’s grain road. , But Yuan Jun did not ship the grain, so General Guan has not made any achievements. The Weichen asked him to lower his order and send some more troops to General Guan. Be sure to block Yuan Junliang’s passage to the south."
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Cao Cao doesn't have no food at all. He can send troops north until Neihuang can get food and grass. Therefore, I can't give him this opportunity to pass the decree and send another 30,000 horses to Guan Yu. Two hundred trebuchets will give me the inner yellow within two days."
At this time, Cai He walked in. After the ceremony was completed, he presented Dawan and other national certificates, saying: "The ministers are envoys to the five countries of Dawan under the will of your majesty. Now Dawan, Wusun, Shendu, and Guishuang The kings of the four countries have all signed an agreement, agreeing that our big Han caravan can travel freely within their territory, and the treatment is equal to their nationals. Only if we encounter a little trouble in Kangju country, we need to report to your majesty in person, and ask your majesty to withdraw."
Liu Xin raised her head and glanced, and said, "You are not an outsider, you don't need to hide it from him,"
When I said this, I meant to show the greatest trust in Jusui. Jusui, who just wanted to take the initiative to leave, was moved and inexplicably moved, but Li Ming quietly retired. He is a person who has experienced the chaos of the ten permanent attendants, and he is not too young now. , I just hope to be able to pass this life safely, but I don’t dare to have any wrong thoughts.
Cai He handed over and said: "When the minister arrived at Kangju, there had been a civil strife in Kangju. Uncle Kangju rebelled and killed King Kangju. Later, Queen Kangju was suppressed by the minister of the United Nations. The uncle Wang also escaped from the capital, but this uncle Wang is quite powerful in Kangju. He owns a large territory in the south of Kangju and holds tens of thousands of remnants in his hand. He will soon come back, and..."
Speaking of this, Cai He quietly raised his head and glanced at Liu Xin, but saw that Liu Xin’s face was calm. In fact, Liu Xin would not care about the rebellion in these foreign countries, and he also had a dark side. Thinking, the more chaotic these countries, the better, and he can fish in troubled waters only when they are chaotic.
Cai He hurriedly lowered his head and continued: "Furthermore, when the minister was in Guishuang, he accidentally ran into that uncle Kangju's men. If the minister expected it well, the uncle Kangju must have gone to Guishuang to borrow troops. went,"
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Kangju's civil strife is nothing but a fight for the throne, but no matter how chaotic they are, and whether Guishuang intervenes or not, they are not allowed to harm the interests of my big Han caravan. You can do that. Once declared to them,"
Of course, Cai He couldn't think of it so far-reaching. He couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "The minister is worried about the wrong thing, please punish your majesty.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you keep talking."
It is said that the companion is like a tiger. Although it is his brother-in-law on the throne, Cai He was still a little nervous and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he said: "According to the observation of the minister in Guishuang, the king of Guishuang seems to have agreed to Kang. According to the conditions set by Uncle Ju, the minister passed by Kangju when he returned to the country, and met Queen Kangju again, and told the truth about what the minister had seen in Guishuang. The queen Kangju begged her to send troops to help."
Liu Xin looked angry and said: "Kangju's civil strife is their own business. How can you make random suspicions based on your own opinion? If it causes a war between Kangju and Guishuang, it will inevitably affect the trade routes of the Western Regions. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to Queen Kang Ju’s beauty, and you are surprised, honestly, have you ever promised her in private,"
Cai Zhong hurriedly squatted to the ground, and said: "Queen Kangju has always been covered with black veil. The minister did not see her face clearly, nor did she know whether she was beautiful or ugly. "
Since Liu Xin took Diao Chan to the Western Regions and walked around, and Diao Chan’s face was always covered with a veil. The reason given was that this was done to prevent the wind and sand from the Western Regions. Later, Loulan Princess Liya’s propaganda was added. Since then, there has been a trend of wearing a veil among Western women. Cai He said that Queen Kangju always wears a veil, which is quite credible, but most Western women wear light-colored veils, but they don’t know. Why does this queen wear a black veil,
Liu Xin raised his hand and said, "I will believe you once, and you will get up and reply."
Cai He got up from the ground, bowed his head and said: "Killing decision is your majesty's right. How dare ministers take charge of themselves, but the ministers feel that if your majesty can help Queen Kangju to quell the rebellion, Kangju will be grateful, and for consolidating me The position of the Great Han in the Western Regions is very good, so the minister agreed to come back and ask your majesty for instructions."
Suddenly, Jushou said: "All the countries around the Western Regions are afraid of my big man. If you use swords and soldiers again, it will inevitably lead to suspicion of the countries. The minister thinks that it is better to let it go."
The so-called go with the flow is actually just ignore it.
Cai He said again: "The Queen Kangju asked her minister to bring back a letter to her Majesty, saying that if her Majesty read this letter, he would naturally agree to send troops."
"Oh," Liu Xin said in surprise, "What kind of letter? Bring it to me."
Cai He took out a sheepskin sac from behind and presented it with both hands. Liu Xin took a look. This sheepskin sac was sewn by hand. The workmanship is very fine. The seal is waxed, and a few official characters are written on the skin with a brush. , "Liu Master Qi Qi", when Cai He was envoy to various countries, Liu Xin had not yet proclaimed the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with writing this way.
In fact, Liu Xin only proclaimed himself emperor, and he did not hold any ceremonies, nor did he send an edict to the world. Even Ma Yun and the others did not have a canonization. However, He Lian handed over the jade seal to Liu Xin. Liu Xin also respected He Lian as the imperial wife, and let her live in Miyagi,
Liu Xin checked the seal carefully and confirmed that there were no traces of opening. Then, the sheepskin sac was opened, but there were two pieces of yellow silk inside. Only three words were written on the first piece of yellow silk, my surname is Ben. , But two days are written on the second piece of yellow silk,
These contents are all written in official script, the handwriting is beautiful and correct, obviously from the hands of a woman, and it is written with a brush, especially the three characters of my surname Ban, which reminds Liu Xin of the black whirlwind.
If it were Black Tornado, it would be easy to explain. Black Tornado is a woman, and she is half of Han descent. Although Liu Xin has not seen her write, she can speak fluent Chinese and is very likely to write Chinese characters.
As for the two days written on the second yellow silk, Liu Xin was puzzled and frowned for a long time. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in his mind, and then he remembered that one of the days was in the cave of the mud cave. At the end of the day,
Thinking about the crazy experience at the bottom of the cave and the bad relationship with the black whirlwind, Liu Xin couldn't help but shook his head, and then carefully compared the two days, and suddenly there was an amazing discovery that the two days are different. After two hundred and ninety days, it was the time that the ancients often said to have a pregnancy in October. Liu Xin couldn't help being stunned. Could it be that the night of madness made the black whirlwind beaded.
Originally, Liu Xin didn't intend to pay attention to the Kangju civil strife.
As Jushou said, the value of the Western Regions to the Great Han lies in the fact that the trade route can bring continuous wealth to the Han, but the surrounding countries of the Western Regions are wary of the Han, especially the two countries of Dawan and Wusun. When Liu Xin planned to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, Dawan intended to send troops to destroy it. Although he had to be softened temporarily after losing to the Han army, it was under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate for a long time, just like Wusun. One of the countries of the Western Regions under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions, what they worry most now is whether Liu Xin will put them under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protector.
No country does not want to maintain its independence. Not only Dawan and Wusun, but Kangju, Guishuang, and Shendu must also be wary of Dahan. Some time ago, they acted so proactively, which was frightened by Dahan’s powerful military. I had to put my posture a little higher. If the big man intervened in the Kangju civil strife, it would very likely cause dissatisfaction from the surrounding countries.
However, seeing these two pieces of yellow silk, Liu Xin changed his mind and said: "The stability of the Western Regions is very important to the big man. That is where the big man's interest lies. They are absolutely not allowed to mess up, let alone any one. The country intervenes in the internal affairs of other countries under any pretext. I have decided to agree to the queen’s request and send troops to live in peace."
Jushou was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty Enlightenment, my great man has just restored the Western Regions Protectorate, and the surrounding countries still don't understand your majesty's intentions. The minister thinks that sending troops at this time is very inappropriate, please think twice.
Liu Xin couldn’t tell the real reason. He chuckled and said: "I know what the public and what they say, but the two evils are the less powerful. If it is Kangju’s own internal turmoil, I will naturally ignore it. Now that you have Guishuang’s intervention again, I can’t underestimate it. I will never allow Guishuang to interfere in Kangju’s internal affairs.”
Jushou thought for a while, and said, "The battle in Kanto has reached the most critical juncture. I am afraid that there are no more soldiers to send."
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Didn’t the Western Regions Legion still have 20,000 people staying as a reserve force in Yiwu? This army was supposed to be stationed in the Western Regions. Now sending them there is a way to let them adapt to the environment in advance. "
Jushou also persuaded: "None of the generals in the DPRK and China should leave lightly, but who should lead the army?"
Liu Xin laughed and said, "I, the imperial driver, personally conquer,"
