Han Dao world

He Shan blushed. "It's not that I don't hurry up, it's that His Majesty is too busy."

"I'm not busy now." Liu Xie laughed and sat down in the hall. "General Zhenxi went to Guanzhong, and now this golden city belongs to me. I need to rest for a while."

"Your Majesty is not going to Guanzhong?" Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian said in unison.

"Not going for now." Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said, "It's not too late to leave when the melon fields outside the city have a good harvest."

Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian exchanged looks, both a little puzzled.They did grow some melons outside the city, but Liu Xie's stay in Jincheng was definitely not because of those melons. He had more important things to do, but there was no word about it before.

Almost everyone thought that the emperor was going to Guanzhong to prepare the army for war.It now appears that they were all wrong.

"Do you want to visit Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi?" Liu Xie said suddenly.

Xun Wenqian was startled. "Your Majesty is going to the West Sea?"

Liu Xie nodded. "I want to see with my own eyes how those Qiang people live, and I can't just listen to what they say. After all, there are only a few who can come to Jincheng to see him, and more Qiang people don't know what their emperor looks like."

Fu Shou said: "Your Majesty's intention to educate is naturally a sage's trip, but the West Sea is far away, and the Qiang people... live by water and grass, I'm afraid..."

Fu Shou halfway through speaking, glanced at He Shan and Hu Xiu next to him, and closed his mouth in shame.Although He Shan and Hu Xiu are not from Jincheng, they are both Qiang people.It's not appropriate to say such things in front of them.She was also in a moment of anxiety and made a slip of the tongue. Even though she changed her words in time, it was inevitable that people would hear her strangely.

"How far is it? In the future, I will go to the Western Regions, to Kunlun." Liu Xie laughed. "It is said in the classics that the ancient gods came from Kunlun. Now Kunlun is right in front of you. Don't you want to take a look?"

"Think." Hu Xiu jumped up and clapped his hands. "I've heard my mother talk about Kunlun Mountain and the Queen Mother of the West since I was a child, and I've always wanted to see it, but I didn't have the opportunity. If His Majesty is going, he must take me with him."

"Go together, go together." Liu Xie laughed.

Xun Wenqian's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take half a year to go, and it will be the New Year, right? If there is any change in the Kanto War, Your Majesty will not have a Cepheus to drive."

"I'm going to Xihai, but I don't want such an accident to happen." Liu Xie put away his smile. "As long as Liangzhou is stable, even if there are twists and turns in the Kanto War, it will not affect the fundamentals. But if the Han and Qiang cannot live in harmony, even if the Kanto is pacified, the world will not be peaceful for a long time. Qin was able to annex the world, not only because of the relationship between China, but also because the first Only when Longyou is pacified and there is no worries about the future can we fully manage the East. Since I have come here, I must try my best to solve the problem as fundamentally as possible, rather than just scratching the surface."

Xun Wenqian thought for a while, then said, "Does Your Majesty still want to cross the Congling Ridge and reach the west of the Western Regions?"

Liu Xie nodded. "If my ideas can be implemented one by one, maybe I can go further."

Fu Shou couldn't help but said, "How far is farther?"

Before Liu Xie spoke, Xun Wenqian pursed her lips and smiled. "Your Highness, I'm afraid Your Majesty is going to visit Anthony's hometown. It is said that all the silk from my big man is sold there in the end. If the merchant's camel caravan can arrive, so can His Majesty's iron cavalry. It's a pity that neither you nor I will Riding a horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany His Majesty on expeditions."

Fu Shou raised his brows lightly, his gaze shifted. "Your Majesty, is it still too late for my concubine to learn how to ride a horse?"

Chapter 565

"How old are you? It's never too late to learn how to ride a horse." Liu Xie said, "But it's unnecessary to learn how to ride a horse in order to follow me to the Western Regions."

"Why?" Fu Shou's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian blinked, also a little puzzled.

"No matter how big the world is, the Central Plains is the root." Liu Xie smiled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "As long as the Central Plains is stable, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, talents spring up like mushrooms, and there are people from generation to generation, even if the Western Expedition encounters some troubles, it will not affect the overall situation. Otherwise, no matter how far we go, it will be just a dream after all."

"Your Majesty is right." Xun Wenqian echoed: "Alexander's past mistakes are enough to serve as a warning. Qin unified the six countries, and he still has to fight for the survivors of the sixth generation. The world is so big, how can one or two generations of heroes be able to do it? Can it be achieved? Conquering the world cannot be hoped by one person at a time, it should be like a foolish old man moving a mountain, and the children and grandchildren will be endless."

Liu Xie looked at Xun Wenqian and nodded with satisfaction.

After naturally starting to study Western classics, Xun Wenqian's horizons were broadened, and her realm also improved significantly.Compared with Qi Fushou, she is also obviously more pragmatic, and she is not only satisfied with citing classics.

Fu Shou half-understood "Oh" and didn't ask again.

She has neither concept nor interest in Xizheng.The reason why he came to Liangzhou was at the request of Xun Yu.In contrast, she prefers Hedong, which has a better environment, to Liangzhou, which has harsh conditions.

Her biggest wish now is to give birth to a royal son to fulfill her duties as a queen.

We chatted for a while and had dinner together.It was getting dark, everyone went back to their houses, and Liu Xie went to He Shan's house.After washing, he went to bed and leaned against the head of the bed to read.

He Shan washed up, went to bed, and leaned against Liu Xie.She stretched her neck and leaned over to read the book for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, and turned her attention to Liu Xie.

After staring at Liu Xie's profile for a while, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you really taking me to the West Sea?"

"Didn't you agree?" Liu Xie said without looking back.

"I just feel... want to ask again."

"You are not joking." Liu Xie said with a smile: "Besides, this is not a big deal."

"For His Majesty, it may not be a big deal. But for us, this is the biggest thing."

"Is it so serious?" Liu Xie put down his book and looked back at He Shan.

He Shan and Hu Xiu are both the daughters of the Qiang leader, and they are the Qiang people in the northern territory, which is the so-called Eastern Qiang.The Eastern Qiang was first defeated by the Han people, and later settled in Beidi and Anding.These Qiang people live mixed with the Han people, they are relatively Sinicized, and their strength is relatively stronger.When the Western Qiang rebelled, the Eastern Qiang also responded, and the momentum was very loud. It once spread to Hedong and Guanzhong, and they were unconvinced for a long time.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Duan Jiong, who was in charge of the battle, won the support of the emperor, and he attacked with thunder.

Facts have proved that even if the big man is no longer in the sky, it is still more than enough to deal with these people.Duan Jiong led [-] cavalry into the expedition. It took more than two years and he beheaded nearly [-] people. He almost killed all the young and strong of the Eastern Qiang.

But killing can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.After the coercion, the imperial court did not do a good job of follow-up appeasement.Time passed, but 30 years later, Dong Qiang slowly regained its vitality.If it cannot be handled properly, the Eastern Qiang will become a problem for the great Han in the near future.

To deal with the Eastern Qiang, we cannot deal with the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall, we must be educated and actively integrated.

This was also one of the reasons why Liu Xie was willing to accept He Shan and Hu Xiu.

When He Shan and Hu Xiu entered the palace, the Northland and the stable Dongqiang had a bottom line in their hearts, and Ma Chao's control of the Northland went much smoother.After the Xianbei people were defeated, Beidi was stable, and it would not take long before Beidi County could be restored.

He Shan's eagerness to follow westward is naturally not because she is greedy for fun, or because she wants to see the scenery of the West Sea and the hometown of the Queen Mother of the West.

He Shan met Liu Xie's eyes and grinned, revealing two small canine teeth. "General Zhenxi led his troops to the east, and His Majesty only had three or five thousand cavalry beside him. Although these are warriors selected from thousands of miles, they are also His Majesty's trust in us Qiang people..."

Liu Xie interrupted He Shan. "You Qiang people?"

"Ah?" He Shan looked at Liu Xie in confusion, her long eyelashes flickering.

Liu Xie considered for a moment. "Do you think Qiang people are different from Han people?"

He Shan stammered and dared not answer.

Liu Xie thought for a while, reached out and took He Shan into his arms, and patted her on the back. "Do you know who the Han people often refer to as Yanhuang?"

"There are two holy kings, one is Yandi and the other is Huangdi."

"Then do you know what Yandi's last name is?"

He Shan shook his head blankly.

"Emperor Yan's surname is Jiang." Liu Xie took He Shan's hand, and wrote a character Jiang in seal script on the palm of her hand, and then wrote a character Qiang in seal script. "What do you think these two words have to do with each other?"

He Shan made gestures by herself for a long time, thoughtful. "Your Majesty, is Emperor Yan also the ancestor of our Qiang people?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't know." He Shan tilted her head and thought for a while. "I'll ask Cai Lingshi tomorrow, she must know."

Liu Xie nodded encouragingly.

Of course, he could explain to He Shan the truth that Han and Qiang have the same origin, but this is definitely not as convincing as Cai Yan's explanation.Cai Yan is not only the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, but her own knowledge has also been recognized by many people, even the Minister of Kanto can accept it.

The first thing he will do tomorrow is to persuade Cai Yan to construct a theory of the same origin of Han and Qiang culturally, so as to facilitate the enlightenment of the Qiang people and integrate the Qiang people into the Chinese nation as soon as possible.

Although he hadn't gotten a definite answer yet, He Shan was very happy, and talked to Liu Xie for a long time.

Although she and Hu Xiu are beauties in the palace, the rules are not strict, and they can only travel with a few female knights with the permission of Queen Fushou.They have obvious Qiang appearance, and are familiar with the language and customs of the Qiang people. They have known many family members of the leaders of the Qiang tribe, and have met some ordinary Qiang people. They know more information than Liu Xie has seen, and it is more real. .

Liu Xie defeated the western Xianbei in Xiutuze, which made the Qiang people respect and fear.They came to see him, not so much to support the imperial court, or to seek the interests of the trade route, but rather to see what kind of person the emperor is, and whether he will use force against them and threaten their survival.

After all, the Han people have always had a bad attitude towards the Qiang people.Ten years ago, the imperial court sent troops to conquer Xiqiang.

Liu Xie has always felt that his attitude towards the Qiang people is very sincere, the reasoning is very thorough, and the benefits are distributed fairly. .

After hearing He Shan's explanation, he realized that he was still too optimistic, those were just superficial articles.

After a short period of loss, he quickly relieved.

National integration has never been an easy task. If it can be resolved in three to five years, it will be abnormal.

The revolution has not yet succeeded.In other words, the journey of revolution has just begun.

Chapter 566 Civilization Fusion

Liu Xie is so confident because although he supports Chinese civilization and regards himself as a descendant of Yan and Huang, he does not discriminate against ethnic groups, and does not think that the Han people are superior and other ethnic minorities are barbarians.

Anyone who has really read history knows that China is a civilization, and it is a very inclusive civilization.The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Yue and other ethnic groups were not exterminated by China, but integrated into China and became an inseparable part of Chinese civilization.

The Han nationality is not a nation in the sense of blood, but a main nation assembled based on the recognition of Chinese civilization.

This is completely different from the policies of the Western gangsters who talk about racial equality but actually implement genocide.Because of this, when studying the Western view of national history, many scholars will have the dilemma of being out of place, and there will be a lot of confusion in their thinking.

He's been through that chaos too, but he's finally come out of that fog and regained his confidence.

The great harmony of the world is the pursuit of Chinese civilization and the common pursuit of human destiny.

So he made no difference to Fu Shou, Xun Wenqian, He Shan, and Hu Xiu.The reason why I took a look at Fu Shougao and repeatedly emphasized that her queen's status is unshakable is that I don't want the party struggle habits of Shandong literati and bureaucrats to affect the great cause of ZTE, and focus on internal struggles.

The person who understands his intentions best is Xun Yu, that's why he specially sent Fushou to Xing Zai.

Other than that, he didn't treat several women differently.This is from the bottom of my heart, and they can all feel it. That's why He Shan and Hu Xiu are so comfortable in front of him, and they won't tell him the stories they have seen and heard. .

What is false is false, what is true is true.

Lies will always be exposed, only sincerity has no flaws.

Liu Xie and He Shan gossiped in the middle of the night, carefully inquired about the reactions of the Qiang people, gained a deeper understanding of the current situation, and became more confident about the future.Whether it is force, culture, or interests, he has enough advantages.

In addition to spiritual communication, of course, in-depth physical communication is inevitable.

He needs He Shan and Hu Xiu to give birth to a son and a half for him, to prove that he treats the Qiang people equally.

It's good to be young.After a night of lingering, his mental age is about four, but his biological age is only seventeen, and he can still get up on time to practice martial arts.

When practicing martial arts, he ordered someone to teach Cai Yan.After he finished practicing martial arts, washed up, and came to the atrium that served as the former court, Cai Yan had already arrived and was talking to Xia Houchong who was on duty.Xia Houchong was obviously a little afraid of Cai Yan. When he spoke, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Cai Yan, but Cai Yan held his head high, confident and calm.

Seeing Liu Xie come out from the backyard, Cai Yan dropped Xia Houchong and went forward to salute.

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers, is there something urgent?"

"En." Liu Xie nodded, motioned Cai Yan to take a seat, and said his thoughts again.

Cai Yan frowned slightly, showing a little embarrassed look. "Your Majesty's intentions, I can understand. It's just that the Qiang people don't have written words, and there are no relevant records in our Han classics. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find evidence."

"You can't limit your vision to written records." Liu Xie said.He already knew that Cai Yan would be in such confusion, and he wanted to take this opportunity to break Cai Yan's confusion. "Books can't tell the whole story, words can't tell the meaning. Could it be that what doesn't exist in the book doesn't exist? Oral stories aren't stories? Lingshi, the Qiang people's history has always been there, just waiting for a chance to write it down."

Cai Yan's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are very true, but the minister's habits are too heavy, he is confined to the old learning, and his vision is not broad enough."

"Ling Shi is too modest." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "I'll leave this matter to you. While I'm in Liangzhou, finish it as soon as possible. In the future, you will have more and more things to do, so you may not have the opportunity to come and gather."

"Wei." Cai Yan readily agreed.

-

Writing a history for the Qiang people is not an easy task.In addition to collecting folk songs and stories passed down by the Qiang people, it is also necessary to comb through the classics of the Central Plains to find related events, weave them together with the stories of the Qiang people, and discover the history behind the deformed songs. the truth.

Cai Yan formed a team of more than 20 people, half of whom were Qiang people, at least those who were familiar with the language and customs of the Qiang people.With paper and pens, they went deep into various tribes and recorded the oral culture of the Qiang people as original materials.

He Shan and Hu Xiu also volunteered to join the team.They have studied with Fushou and Xun Wenqian for a period of time, and they are able to write and record. They are not many educated people among the Qiang people.The Son of Heaven intends to write history for the Qiang people. As the Qiang people, they are obliged to do so.

After the news spread, the Qiang people were grateful, but also realized the practical significance of reading, and they became more enthusiastic about building schools.Not long after, Qu Yan came to ask for an interview, saying that he had discussed with several families and tribes, and jointly invested in building a school in Linqiang to recruit Han and Qiang children, and asked the emperor to arrange teaching doctors as soon as possible.

Liu Xie arranged for a heavyweight: Fu Ya.

Fu Ya came from an aristocratic family, needless to say he was knowledgeable, it was more than enough to enlighten these Han and Qiang disciples.He is the elder brother of Empress Fushou, and his appointment as a teacher shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this benchmark school.

Although Fu Ya is not a doctor, but he is a waiter, and his status is higher than that of a doctor, so he is considered a super match.

In order to encourage Fu Ya to teach with peace of mind, Liu Xie promised that after four years, Fu Ya can apply to be transferred back to the imperial court at any time, and his position will not be lower than that of a servant.If the teaching effect is good and many talents are cultivated, there must be great rewards.

Fu Ya agreed.

Qu Yan and the others were overjoyed.Knowing that Fu Ya is not yet married, they asked for a decree, hoping to marry Fu Ya. The women in and outside Linqiang City can be his wife or concubine as he chooses.

He said it casually, but who wouldn't want their own daughter to be a regular wife?Fu Ya has a good character and a noble status, even in the Central Plains, he is also a very sought-after figure.Being able to marry his daughter to him was something Qu Yan and the others had never imagined before.

In order to win this opportunity, Qu Yan and others fought openly and secretly and thought of many tricks.

After some deliberation, at Liu Xie's behest, Fu Shou personally went through it and chose one wife and two concubines for Fu Ya.His wife is Qu Yun, the daughter of Qu Yan, and his concubines are Guo Ying, daughter of Guo Xian, a Linqiang clan, and Bei Gongchun, daughter of Qiang leader Bei Gong Dashi.

Beigong is the surname of the Qiang people, and Beigong Dashi's elder brother is Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang people who once raised troops with Li Wenhou.After Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were killed by Han Sui, Beigong Dashi hated Han Sui to the bone, but he was not strong enough to dare to act rashly.Now that Han Sui was transferred to Guanzhong to prepare for the battle, Beigong Dashi dared to come to Jincheng to meet him.Now that his daughter is marrying Fu Ya as his concubine, he is very excited and feels elated.

Taking advantage of Fu Ya's marriage, Qu Yan cordially invited the emperor to go west, hunt in Linqiang, and attend Fu Ya's wedding.

Liu Xie readily agreed.

Chapter 567

Before Liu Xie set off westward, Hao Zhao and Xia Houlan rushed to Jincheng.
