Han Shizu

Chapter 1239 The head of the city of Guzang is full of emotion

Emperor Liu not only issued an edict to stop the west tour, but also didn't even mention the return journey. After directly suppressing it, he simply let the camp go up and down, and spent the winter in Liangzhou safely.

He even sent someone to Longyou Road to deliver an edict to Prince Liu Yang, asking him to take good care of it, pay attention to his health, and not risk the cold.

At the same time, he also ordered people to go west, summoning Wang Yansheng, Guo Jin and the main officials of Guasha and Gansu to Liangzhou to ask about politics.Perhaps, staying in Liangzhou for a winter can also have the effect of soothing people's hearts and stabilizing the rule.

Of course, Emperor Liu inevitably had another plan in mind, which was to wait until the winter was over, the ice and snow melted, and the severe cold eased, before starting again.How could the emperor break his promise so easily!

Nowadays, others can use the weather as an example, but I can be sympathetic, forgiving, and give advice.But when the weather gets warmer, the traffic recovers, and the roads are normal, then he will issue an edict to go west, and he will see what else he can say!
Fundamentally speaking, Emperor Liu, who is nearly forty years old, has already established his character and temper, which cannot be changed at all.

The north wind raged and roared, blowing the military and dragon flags at the head of Guzang City whistling, and even the flagpoles could not help but shake.Although the wind was fierce, Emperor Liu who was standing on the top of the city stood still. Although the sound of the wind was urgent, it was not as disturbing as the creaking sound of shaking.

Lu Duoxun stood by, observing the words and expressions, noticing Emperor Liu's expression, and summoned an officer and soldier, who gave a low-pitched order, and he quickly went to find tools to fix it.

"Compared to Fengzhou, Liangzhou has a different style!" Standing at the head of the northern city of Guzang in Yingfeng, Emperor Liu sighed with emotion: "When I was in Fengzhou, I once thought that the big man was the most poor and remote. Therefore, I think that the world can be visited. Now that I personally experience it, I still underestimated the winter in the Hexi Corridor.”

Hearing Emperor Liu's emotion, Lu Duoxun said, "If Your Majesty visits during the spring and autumn season, you can see the full beauty of Hexi!"

"It's still a coincidence!" Emperor Liu smiled slightly, looking away, and turned to look at Lu Duoxun: "Lu Qing, when you were envoys to the Western Regions, you also took the Hexi Corridor. It was cold winter, and at that time there was a battle in Jinou in the northwest, and almost the entire west of Hexi was in the hands of the Uighurs, Tubo, and Khitans.

Although I have listened to your report on that trip to the west, combined with my personal experience today, I am afraid that the experience along the way was even more difficult and dangerous! "

Emperor Liu mentioned the events of that year, which also aroused Lu Duosun's emotion, and a trace of reminiscence also appeared on Qing Huang's face, and he replied: "I was full of energy back then, and wanted to follow Zhang Qian's visit to Jueyu, but I really set foot on the road to the west. After entering Hexi, Fang felt ashamed. Thirty percent of the entourage died in the Hexi Corridor.

Fortunately, at that time, under the leadership of His Majesty, the Han Dynasty had already become strong, and Tubo, Uyghur and other miscellaneous captives along the way did not dare to harass the envoys wantonly.However, at that time, the ministers and others had escaped the cold winter in Liangzhou, and only traveled far in the following year.That was also the beginning of my understanding of Liangzhou and Guzang City."

"It must have been fifteen or sixteen years!" Emperor Liu said.

Lu Duosun nodded, and complimented: "In that instant, fifteen years, if His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have realized that such a long time has passed!"

From Lu Doxun's words, one could feel a touch of emotion, and the memories and experiences back then were really deep for him.That was not only the beginning of Ludoxun's career in the Northwest, but also a new starting point for his career.

And since the Western Envoy returned smoothly, he brought back the situation of Hexi and the Western Regions, a map, and the introduction of cotton seeds.Relying on these credits and hard work, in the following time, even if Lu Dorson's official career could not be said to be soaring, he was on a steady rise and his official career was prosperous.

Right now, Ludoxun is only 36 years old, and he is already in the position of chief minister, so he is definitely young and promising.Although this place in Hexi is remote, its military value is extremely high, and the opening of the Silk Road also has a lot of economic significance.

Among the borders of the Han Dynasty, Hexi and Shanyang can be called together, but they are more eye-catching, and the one that attracts the emperor's attention must belong to the Hexi Corridor.This has not only historical and cultural reasons, but also Emperor Liu's strong subjective will.

And for Luderson, this is also a place where it is easier to make achievements and build careers.The current territory of Dahan is so vast, with thousands of prefectures and counties, and there are only a few places that can get Emperor Liu's constant attention. This is the biggest advantage of being an official in Hexi.Although it is a bit remote, for someone like Lu Duoxun who is extremely ambitious, the treatment environment is not important at all.

In the past few years after recovering Hexi, Lu Duoxun first suppressed Guasha. Yang Tingzhang's previous suppression of the remnants of the Uighurs and the expansion of Qinghai included Lu Duoxun's auxiliary planning.

Today, he is the Chief Secretary of Hexi, and he has conquered through painting, consolidated his achievements, suppressed and refused to accept, and Ludoxun has more room to display.Of course, for Lu Duoxun, the mere official position of the governor of Hexi is not enough to satisfy his ambitions and ambitions, and it is far from his peak.Sitting on the west of Hexi, looking into the temple, waiting to enter the pilgrimage and preside over the state affairs, this is his biggest and most long-term goal.

Moreover, Luderson can see hope and has a clear goal ahead.During the more than [-] years of Emperor Liu's reign, the prime minister must start from the state department, which was repeatedly mentioned and implemented.

In the seventh year of Kaibao, the government changed. Whether it was Zhao Pu, Song Qi or Li Ye, these three were all promoted from the local area.The most representative one is Zhao Pu, and Lu Duoxun's target is also Zhao Pu.

Why should Zhao Pu be the prime minister and the head of the political affairs hall? In addition to his early qualifications, the most important thing is the governor, Anmin, Furong, and pioneering achievements in the southwest.And Lu Duoxun thought to himself, if he were to go, he would be no worse than Zhao Pu.

The opportunity for Zhao Pu to take off lies in Sichuan and Sichuan, so the starting point for his promotion is in the northwest!After all, he has been deeply rooted in this place for a long time, and has formed his own circle of influence. He has a good influence in the four northwestern provinces. It took him 15 years to accumulate it, and it will also be the foundation for him to open up the temple.

"The whole of Hexi belongs to Guzang City, which has the longest history and the deepest cultural heritage!" Emperor Liu said, stroking the rough city walls of Guzang like a lover.

"Yes!" Lu Duoxun was knowledgeable and said immediately: "Since Emperor Wudi of the former Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions and established the four counties in Hexi, Guzang has always been the center of Hexi, and it has been like this for thousands of years. Traffic, business travel is endless; in troubled times, separatism prevails, and the king dominates. Guzang City can also be regarded as a record of the historical changes of Hexi for thousands of years."

"In the past, I could only see records about Guzang and Ganliang in historical books and memorials!" Emperor Liu said, "I still remember that when I promoted Westward expansion in the early years, many people used various Reasons to object. When it comes to Liangzhou, in their description, there are only Gobi desert, wild sand and fierce wind, barren city and wild soil, no lush vegetation, and lack of water source. The imperial court has increased the burden."

Emperor Liu's remarks were not made up. He did receive many similar memorials back then.Hearing the emperor talk about it at this time, Lu Duoxun said a little angrily: "Your Majesty, those who make this suggestion are either short-sighted, harbor evil intentions, or are not knowledgeable enough to know what to say, and arrange it arbitrarily. It is really abominable! Your Majesty! , Hexi is not poor, as long as it takes time, it will surely return to its former prosperity!"

Lu Duoxun regards Hexi as the foundation of his own efforts. Hearing such contemptuous and even discriminatory remarks, his reaction naturally seems a bit excessive.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu smiled and asked, "Why do you think there were so many people who opposed Xituo and restored the old land?"

Feeling the solemnity of Emperor Liu's tone, Lu Duoxun thought for a while and replied: "Since the middle Tang Dynasty, Hexi has been lost. Although Zhang Yichao led the rebel army to revive for a while, it was only a flash in the pan. For nearly 200 years, it was reduced to Fantu, it's been too long."

"Yes!" Emperor Liu also sighed, and scratched the cold and slippery wall with his hands, and said seriously: "Helong has been separated from China for a long time, and the Han people were captives. indignation.

As you said, China has been missing Hexi for too long, so long that it is easy to forget. I am determined to go west, not only to regain the lost land, demonstrate martial arts, and consolidate the northwest frontier defense, but also to regain our former glory and regain our glory. Reveal the glory of the past, protect it, and carry forward it.

I often talk about the mistakes of the ancients, but it is a pity that they cannot be disputed, and we cannot let our descendants give us a final evaluation of not thinking about making progress."

After speaking, Emperor Liu himself laughed, but his words were also from the bottom of his heart.In his already too long and even vague memories, after the Tang Dynasty, the eldest China has too many regrets and regrets.

As for Emperor Liu, the most basic goal is to make some unknown compensations and changes.Of course, what was shown was that the emperor was aiming at martial arts, expanding in all directions, opening up endlessly.
Judging from the results, Emperor Liu has already done too much and achieved too much!
Take Guzang City at your feet as an example. Who would have thought that in the original history, after returning to the rebel army, when it returned to the rule of the Han regime, it would be hundreds of years later.
