I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 241 The big man wants to cross the Western Regions and go further west! (seeking subscription)
The big Han's control over the Western Regions is actually not strong.

Especially after Emperor Xiaozhao succeeded to the throne, because he adopted a policy of shrinking strategically, his control over the countries in the Western Regions was even more limited.

In order to protect the business travelers coming and going, the Han Empire set up the post of envoy Xiaowei in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He led hundreds of soldiers to farm and accumulate grain in the Luntai and Quli areas to supply envoys to the Western Regions and protect the exchanges. merchants and envoys.

The envoy Xiaowei is an official sent by the Han Empire to the Western Regions, but the troops under his jurisdiction are very limited.

It is impossible to effectively control the countries and envoys in the Western Regions.

Before the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were under the control of the Xiongnu. After the large-scale use of troops during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, they finally won the initiative.But after Emperor Xiaozhao, the Xiongnu's activities in the Western Regions became more and more rampant, and they continued to invade south and east.

And this is also the reason why Loulan, Qiuci and other countries dare to have two hearts towards the big man.

Complete control of the Western Regions is naturally the dream of the Great Han Dynasty.

However, the Western Region is huge, larger than the entire Guanzhong area, and it is not easy to control it completely.

Before Su Wu and Fu Jiezi finished digesting the words of the emperor, the emperor said another sentence that made their blood boil even more.

"There are other countries in the west of the Western Regions, and the big man can continue to go west."

Controlling the Western Regions is already difficult, and the emperor actually wants to push the territory of the Han Dynasty further west, which seems a little whimsical.

Only Liu He knew that in the era when he was born, he had indeed achieved complete control over the Western Regions, and even had actual control over the Western Regions earlier.

There is no other way, that is to immigrate from the farmland.

With the organization of the army, hundreds of thousands of people were relocated there, serving as civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.

Naturally, the Western Regions can be controlled.

It is difficult, very difficult for the Han people who have relocated to another place to live.

But it is not impossible to do it, the road is long and the road is long, I will search up and down.

"I understand that my idea is a bit earth-shattering, but I want to tell the two lovers that a big man can definitely do this. I don't know if the second minister is willing to try it with me?"

Fu Jiezi and Su Wu have personally been to the Western Regions, so they naturally know that there is a vast world and a lot to do.

Hearing what the emperor said again, his heart was already moved.

"A thousand miles away starts with a single step. I don't know what the end will be, whether I will win a bad name or a good name, but I still want to give it a try for the big man."

"What your majesty means is what I think, and I would like to be driven by your majesty." The younger Fu Jiezi was already full of enthusiasm, and it was too inferior for him to stay in Chang'an. The Western Regions are a wider world.

But the old Su Wu was still a little hesitant, the pain of losing his son hadn't completely healed, and the court was a sad place for him after all.

Of course Liu He knew why Su Wu was hesitating, and he had his own solution.

"Su Qing, I heard that you once married a wife in the Xiongnu and had a son. You returned to the Han in a hurry and failed to let them return to the Han together. I can take a sum of money and food from the Shaofu and let Bianjun find a way to send it to the Han. its redemption."

Su Wu raised his head abruptly, why did the Son of Heaven know about this and still care about it.

"Su Qing don't need to be surprised. Of course I know about this matter. I have already thought about it. How about the two of you taking Ruan Yang who is of Hun blood outside the door together?"

The emperor thought carefully!
If the wife of the Xiongnu can return to the Han, then the Su family will not be extinct, and Su Wu will no longer be a wild goose, and he can enjoy the family happiness of an ordinary family.

Su Wu had thought about this before, but now he has no power and power, even if he goes to the border county, he can't do anything.

However, it is different when the emperor comes to order, and he can get the support of the border county and border army.

Even if the relationship between Han and Xiong is not good at the moment, there are still some channels of private communication among the people, and it is not too difficult to find family members after that.

So far, Su Wu has absolutely no reason to refuse the emperor's recruitment.

"The old minister is willing to be driven by His Majesty, even though he has almost died, he still has no regrets!" Su Wu thanked him.

Without further ado, several people immediately made a plan for this mission to the Western Regions: the chief envoy was Su Wu, the deputy envoy was Fu Jiezi, and Lang Guan Ruan Yang assisted him.

The obvious reason is to find seeds and seedlings of several crops suitable for sowing in the Sanfu area for Menxia Temple—this is under the jurisdiction of Menxia Temple.

In fact, it was trying to save Su Wu's wife and children in the Huns, and at the same time persuade Li Ling to return to the Han.

In addition, try to collect all kinds of rumors heard along the way, and record the changes in the terrain for future consultation.

"It's just that Li Ling may not be easy to talk about." Su Wu said, knowing the reason why Li Ling was forced to stay in the Xiongnu.

Liu He took out a small letter box from his bosom, handed it to Su Wu, and said, "This is a letter written by me personally, and I handed it to Li Ling. I think he will definitely come back after reading it. "

"promise."

"Does Your Majesty have any other orders?"

"Besides Ruan Yang, I also want you to take the two of you to the Western Regions."

"Along the way, you can tell them more about the customs of the Western Regions."

"who?"

"Go to the violent room to find the violent man, tell him to find Liu Bingji and Guo Kai, and let them go to the Western Regions with you, and he will naturally bring them."

Fu Jiezi and Su Wu seemed to be a little familiar with these two names, but after thinking about them, they didn't come up with a reason, so naturally they didn't want to.

The emperor told me to take it with me, just take it with me.

After the three of them talked about some details, they finally settled the matter.

Because this matter is the responsibility of Menxia Temple, Liu He can even directly order it, and it will take effect after the seal of Menxia Temple is affixed.

At that time, Fu Jiezi and Su Wu can use this order to obtain the support of other government offices.

Horses, money and food, servants, customs clearance documents...all have their own government offices to draw and issue, and Liu He doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

This is the advantage of having the Menxia Temple. With the Great Seal, you have power, and you can control the resources of the empire to a certain extent to do some things.

"I hope that you can set off as soon as possible without any delay, preferably within ten days."

Fu Jiezi and Su Wu were a little embarrassed, but they still nodded.

"Although it's in a hurry, you can start first, then write a letter, and send it to Yanmen Pass quickly, and the government office there will naturally be ready."

Su Wu and Fu Jiezi didn't know that Li Ling's name was at stake. If he wasn't found sooner, it would be meaningless.

Moreover, the army to conquer the Huns is less than a month away, and it is necessary to complete the mission before that, otherwise there will be more crises.

"Okay, ten days later, I will go to the west city gate to see you off."

"promise!"

Su Wu and Fu Jiezi were just the first two people Liu Hezheng fell into the Menxia Temple. As the order of enlistment was sent out from the Xuanshi Hall, the talents on Liu He's list would continue to gather, and Liu He could do only a few things. more.

After Su Wu and Fu Jiezi left, Wang Shi came to Changyi Hall and just passed them.

"Your Majesty, do these two agree?"

"Of course I agree."

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Shi said sincerely.

"What's up with Wang Fu today?"

"The old man came today to tell His Majesty that the government office in Menxia Temple has been repaired, and if there is no accident, you can enter the government office."

It is estimated that the recruited talents will arrive one after another after a month at the earliest.

It might be a bit empty to enter the Yamen at this time, but Liu He didn't want to wait any longer.

"Wang Fu, I trouble you to speak to Yu Wuyou, and let him immediately convey my oral order to the government offices under the jurisdiction of Menxia Temple. At noon tomorrow, all officials who are more than [-] shi and above, all If you want to come to the temple, I want to be promoted to Yamen."

"Also, go and discuss with Guang Luxun and the Shaofu, and ask them to transfer some assistants to the temple."

"promise!"

Wang Shi hurriedly left on crutches, Liu He couldn't bear to see Wang Shi who almost fell several times.

Letting a great Confucian who is full of scriptures do the work of passing on to the audience, it would be a bit condescending.

But there is really no way, Liu He's manpower is very short, especially today, all the Lang officials of Dai Zong have been sent out.

On that list, many people were actually in Chang'an City, and Liu He wanted to identify these people first.

Just as Wang Shi was sent away, Yu Wuyou entered the Xuanshi Palace again.

"Report Your Majesty, Wei Xuancheng has arrived."

"Where's Huang Ba?"

Yu Wuyou showed a troubled look on his face, as if there was something hard to say, Liu He naturally guessed a bit.

"Huang Ba is currently locked up in the Imperial Prison."

Liu He shook his head, he didn't expect that this person still hadn't escaped that catastrophe.

"Then let's announce Wei Xuancheng first."

"promise!"
