Chapter 336
When the caravan left the Western Regions, Guishuang's envoys had just entered the Western Regions, and the two passed by. Even, the envoys bought some items at high prices from these merchants, and the merchants met on the way. The Guishuang people were a little surprised at first, but when they found out that these Guishuang people were very keen on their goods, they became extremely enthusiastic about them.

Even the escorting soldiers received their extremely warm hospitality, so they stayed and stayed with these Guishuang people for two days before leaving. When they came from a completely different empire, when they saw the nomads here and the cotton fields, they almost thought that they had not produced Guishuang.

The difference between here and Guishuang is not that big. After all, the founder of Guishuang was driven away by the Huns from here. The unique culture and religion of the conquered area has become Guishuang, a very distinctive civilized empire. Compared with Guishuang, the big Han has a huge gap in population.

In recent years, due to Liangzhou's unique geographical conditions, it has become the center of foreign trade of the Han Dynasty. The merchants of the Han Dynasty gather in Liangzhou. They do not have the qualifications to go out for trade like Yizhou merchants, but they can still trade with them. The foreign merchants of the Han Dynasty traded, and under the various policies implemented by Zheng Xuan, Liangzhou became the most desirable area for merchants.

When the Guishuang envoys arrived in Liangzhou, they were stunned by the prosperity of Guzang County. Before they came to Dahan, they also investigated Dahan and knew that this place was just one of the most remote areas in Dahan. Even if this remote area looks like this, then how prosperous the Central Plains area should be, they really dare not imagine that Zheng Xuan greeted them in person.

Great respect was given to them, and the envoys were arranged in Zheng Xuan's previous mansion. These envoys couldn't sit still, hoping to look around. Zheng Xuan didn't restrict their going out, but sent soldiers to protect them , They first looked at the buildings in the city, and then at the crops, land, people, business, military, etc. in various places.

They asked Zheng Xuan if they could write down the situation here. Zheng Xuan could not make a decision on his own, and told them that when they arrived in Luoyang, they could ask the emperor to see if the emperor allowed it. They could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​recording. After staying for a few days, they rushed all the way to Chang'an through Chidao. They had never seen such a spacious and flat avenue. They asked, how long is such an avenue?

The Liangzhou officials who accompanied them told them that the whole world is full of thousands of miles.

The envoys frowned and thought for a moment before realizing that such a road could circle Guishuang several times!
After arriving in Chang'an, they rushed directly to Luoyang by water transport.

Entering the Sili area, you can really feel the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. The boats passing by can even block the canal. When you get off the boat, there are people everywhere, countless cultivated fields, and horses and horses. When the envoys saw the scene here, Zhang Da He opened his mouth, and even asked, can he stay here and ask the emperor for a territory?The officials smiled and shook their heads. The big man does not sell territory.

Along the way, they looked around and kept asking about new things. The officials were told by Zheng Xuan that, except for some confidential matters, they could be informed about civil matters. Therefore, the officials also relieved their doubts. , The envoys rushed to Luoyang, and local officials had long since come to greet the replacement, and the officials from Liangzhou bid farewell to them and left.

These Guishuang people are still very enthusiastic, facing these officials who have been with them for a few days, they are also a little reluctant to part, and they also said that when they return, they want to visit their homes. These officials also agreed with a smile, and the Luoyang officials received them. After them, they were obviously not as enthusiastic as the officials in Liangzhou. Because Liangzhou had been in a remote area for a long time, it was often despised by the Central Plains and called a land of barbarians.

Therefore, the officials in the barbarian land did not express any disdain for these "barbarians" from outside, but Luoyang is different. This is the center of the world, and it is at the foot of the emperor. The officials here are extraordinarily arrogant. The officials in the surrounding areas are still disdainful, let alone these Guishuang people. The Guishuang envoy also felt the gap and did not ask around.

Luoyang stands tall in front of you. This huge city that has been renovated and expanded year after year has brought a huge impact on the people of Guishuang. Their eyes are rounded. Although their capital is also extremely tall and majestic, It can only be compared with a county like Guzang County. In front of Luoyang, it cannot be compared at all. This is also the difference between the two sides. Guishuang started as a nomad, and in terms of architectural planning, it is not as effective as a big man.

After entering Luoyang, I can feel the incomparable strength of the Han Empire. Farmers, scholars, traders, scholars, and rangers are coming and going in this city. There are nearly a million people living inside and outside the city. Guishuang The current population of the empire is less than 1000 million. This county has one-tenth of the population of the Guishuang Empire.

The officials arranged them in the post station, but the emperor did not greet them in person. These Guishuang people did not feel any anger about this. They were born lazy and casual, and didn't care much about such things. After an hour, he ran out and played around in Luoyang City. Luoyang Ling quickly sent soldiers to follow the guards.

At this time, it was nearly May, and Xing Ziang returned to Luoyang.

The emperor convened a court meeting. Since the last time he worshiped Yuan Feng as Sikong, the emperor had not held a court meeting. All the officials gathered outside the palace. After waiting for a long time, they walked into the hall together. All the officials sat in their respective seats. They were chatting with each other, and not long after, the Son of Heaven arrived, all the officials stood up and worshiped, and the Son of Heaven returned his obeisance, then frowned and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty, can you play again?"

Um?What about Wang Fu?
Wang Fu's seat was empty, and the officials only noticed at this moment that Wang Fu never chatted with them because he didn't fit in with the group. They didn't notice that Situ didn't come to court. The emperor frowned, feeling a little panic in his heart. Could it be that he was sick?He had just sent away a great sage of the country, but he couldn't send away another person. He immediately looked at Song Dian who was waiting at the back door.

On weekdays, Song Dian sent Huangmen to notify all the officials to come to court. What's the situation here with Wang Fu?
All the officials were stunned for a moment, and then grinned in ecstasy. Although they didn't want to lose their composure in front of the emperor, they still couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.

They guessed happily: Wang Fu must have been killed by some righteous man on the way!
