"Sir, it is Gancheng ahead."

"Ah."

Wang Wei nodded, and then headed to Gancheng with a group of entourage.

He studied Confucian classics in the Central Plains for eight years, and finally decided a few months ago to go to the Western Regions, which has not been saturated with the doctrine of saints, to spread Confucianism to the Western Regions.

Different from the general children of the Wang family, other children of the Wang family study Confucian classics only to become officials, and the purpose of being an official is to obtain benefits for the family.

But Wang Wei is different. He really likes Confucian classics, which is why he studied so hard. He also worried that other foreigners would not feel the greatness of Confucianism, so he asked the emperor to take the initiative to go to the Western Regions to spread the Confucian sage's orthodoxy to the people of the Western Regions. .

At this moment, she is like a pious missionary, with no distracting thoughts in her heart, only a sincere heart that wants to carry forward Confucianism.

The reason why he came to the Western Regions to spread it now is not a whim, but that the Western Regions were not rebuilt by Ban Chao until half a year ago.

Since the Xinmang regime lost the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Central Plains has not been in contact with the Western Regions for more than 60 years.

Until six years ago, Ban Chao recommended himself and asked to go to the Western Regions to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Afterwards, Ban Chao relied on his own strength to unite vertically and horizontally in the Western Regions, pulling one faction against another, using various means, including the temptation of interests, to threaten his entire country with the size of a big man, and to kill the envoy of the Huns, thus forcing him to stand in line with the big man. Etc., etc.

The Han court, who was busy recuperating, didn't even give him a single soldier. He only had a hundred or so entourages, but it took only six years to pacify the entire Western Regions. It's really a legend.

"Sir, please come in."

After learning that Wang Wei was a Confucian scholar from the Central Plains and a disciple of Situ Yuan'an, the Han army officers and soldiers in Gancheng rushed to welcome Wang Wei into the city respectfully.

After suppressing the Haoqiang rebellion in Hebei, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu further strengthened the centralization of power, further centralized administrative power to Shangshutai, and the emperor directly controlled Shangshutai.

At the same time, Da Sikong was changed to Sikong, Da Situ was changed to Situ, and Da Sima was changed to Taiwei.

Emperor Wu changed Taiwei to Da Sima, Emperor Guangwu changed Da Sima back to Taiwei, Emperor Wu carried out Yantie official camp, and Emperor Guangwu abolished Yantie official camp.

He changed the big man, and he changed back again. History is really a wonderful reincarnation.

"Students came to visit Ban Duhu. I wonder if Duhu is here?" Wang Wei was going to meet the legendary Ban Chao first.

Since Ban Chao was the protector of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Wang Wei directly addressed him as the protector of Banchao.

"The Shache Kingdom betrayed the big man and took refuge in the Northern Huns. The general protects him and led the Western Regions Allied Forces to attack the Shache Kingdom. You can wait here for a while." The Han army soldiers replied.

Entering Gancheng, the exotic atmosphere inside dazzled Wang Zheng.

The current Western Regions is very interesting, where various cultures blend with each other.

Xiongnu culture, Chinese culture, Greek culture, and Buddhist culture are all present in the Western Regions at this moment.

"#@^%#$^%$#"

A man in a fancy dress was speaking a language he didn't understand at all.

At this time, an Anxi businessman, a Da Yuezhi businessman, a Western Region businessman, and a Central Plains businessman who knew Chinese were called together by the Han army officers.

The Parthian merchant had been to Rome, so he translated into Persian what the fancy-dressed man was saying.

Then a Da Yuezhi businessman who had been to Anxi translated Persian into Da Yuezhi.

Then a businessman from the Western Regions who had been to Da Yuezhi translated the Da Yuezhi language into Loulan language.

Finally, a Central Plains businessman who had just learned Loulan translated Loulan into Chinese.

After such a process of translation to translation and then translation, the officer of the Han army and Wang Wei at the side finally understood what the strangely dressed man was talking about.

"I am a Christian missionary from the Canaan region, named King Thanos, who came to spread the faith of the Lord."

"When we were preaching in Rome, we were brutally suppressed by the Roman Empire. I really hope that the legendary Han Kingdom can be more tolerant to us."

After some extremely difficult exchanges, Wang Wei had a general understanding.

Decades ago, in the far west, there was a region called Canaan, where there was a Jew named Jesus, who was apostate, betrayed his own Jewish faith, and then created a new faith called Christ, and Spread the Christian faith in the Jewish province of Rome.

The Jews reported Jesus, and then the Roman Empire worried that Jesus' mission would affect their rule, so they arrested and executed Jesus.

Although Jesus died, he had spread the Christian faith to many people before his death, and King Thanos was one of them.

This King Thanos is a descendant of Wang Qiao, and Wang Qiao is a descendant of Wang Changye.

Generations of mixed blood with Greeks throughout the year have resulted in the descendants of Wang Changye's lineage being no different from Greeks except for having a Chinese name.

And King Thanos didn't know much about Han culture. He only knew that his ancestor was a Confucian scholar from the Han Empire. He didn't even know what his ancestor's name was. I don't know, I only know that my ancestor's surname is Wang.

Wang Wei was very curious about the foreigner in front of him, and didn't understand why the foreigner had a Han surname.

"Mr. Thanos, can you tell me why you have a Han Chinese surname?" Wang Wei asked him.

"Oh, God bless, dear sir, my ancestor was named Wang, so I am also named Wang, but I don't know who my ancestor is, it is too many generations apart." King Thanos replied, he The words are naturally translated one by one.

Later, King Thanos asked the Han officer again: "I want to go to the legendary Han Empire to spread the faith of the Lord, is that okay?"

After another difficult translation from translation to translation, the officer of the Han army replied: "As for the mission you want to preach, after the Duhu returns, I will ask the Duhu for instructions, and then the Duhu will ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor's permission is required." After that, you can enter the Central Plains to preach, during this period, please stay in Gancheng and don’t run around.”

"Okay." King Thanos was very helpless, with a little anxiety on his face.

In the next month or so, Wang Wei taught Confucianism to the people of the Western Regions in the city, while King Thanos taught the people of the Western Regions to believe in Christianity in the city, and a poisonous nobleman surnamed Ji shaved his head and taught the Western Regions people of the Buddhist faith.

This Shendu man surnamed Ji was originally a member of the Shendu Zhou royal family. Because he believed in Buddhism, he was not tolerated by the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty who believed in [Confucianism-Brahmanism].

He had no choice but to flee all the way north and came to the Western Regions to spread the great Buddhist belief in his mind.

Three kinds of ideas collided brilliantly in the administration of the Western Regions Protectorate. In order to compete for the right to speak culturally, Wang Wei, Thanos King, and Ji Xingfo, representing Confucianism, Christianity, and Buddhism, launched a continuous battle with each other. A month of controversy.

Everyone in the whole city was watching their debate. It was not until Banchao, the guardian of the Western Regions Protectorate, returned from victory that they stopped the debate between the three.

"We big men are compatible with everything. Both of you can go to the Central Plains to preach. His Majesty the Emperor is tolerant, and he will not persecute you." Ban Chao, who had just returned from the war, smiled at King Thanos and Ji Xingfo. road.
