Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng are both knowledgeable people. They are proficient in history books. Even as people from Jiangdong, they still have some understanding of the distant Western countries.

According to the "Book of Han", "The Western Regions were first connected during the Xiaowu period. They were originally thirty-six countries, and then they were slightly divided to more than fifty... There were mountains in the north and south, rivers in the center, more than six thousand miles from east to west, and more than a thousand miles from north to south..."

Since Emperor Xiaowu first exerted influence on the Western Regions, emperors of all dynasties in the Western Han Dynasty have been working tirelessly to incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Later, in the hands of Emperor Xiaoxuan, this ideal that lasted for decades was basically completed, and the prominent sign of this ideal was the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Emperor Xiaoxuan's move to establish a Protectorate in the Western Regions not only greatly expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty in politics, but also had a profound impact on the Han Dynasty in terms of economy and military.

Under the influence of all aspects, even if there was the Wang Mang Rebellion in the middle, Liu Xiu, the founder of Han Dynasty, did not forget to restore his sovereignty over the Western Regions after unifying the world.

It can be said that due to past examples, in the hearts of the people of the world, the mysterious and vast place of the Western Regions was re-entered into the arms of the Han Dynasty, which is a symbol of the Han Dynasty's regaining its prosperity.

But this symbol is not now revealed to Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng in front of them, but is clearly presented to them personally. How can they not be shocked?

Even though Che Shi Kingdom is willing to express surrender to the current Han Dynasty, King Che Shi is the king of a country, is there no other ministers or royal members in Che Shi Kingdom acting as envoys?

The king of a country is so respectful to a small number of Han ministers. This cannot be said to be that Che Shi Kingdom surrendered to the Han Dynasty. It should be said that Che Shi Kingdom has the intention of kneeling down and licking the Han Dynasty.

Is shameless!

Can you straighten your waist?

And in addition to the deep shock, Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng's thoughts couldn't help but float away.

Now they only see King Cheshi's respect for Meng Guang, so are there any envoys or royal members of other Western Regions countries in the Sifang Pavilion?

And if so, will their attitude be the same as King Cheshi?

The answers to these two questions are what Zhang Wen and Zhou Rui are eager to know now.

Meng Guang, who naturally accepted King Cheshi's worship, did not relax his gaze at Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng, and Meng Guang could not see some clues from their expressions.

As a famous scholar, Meng Guang is willing to solve doubts for others.

Just as King Cheshi kept bent down, Meng Guang smiled and said to Zhang Wen and Zhou Bree:

"Since the revival of Anding County by our army, Grand Sima has ordered General Zhang Boqi to lead his army to reopen Yumen Pass.

I stopped sitting in the tent in the middle of the night, but I thought of opening Yumen Pass again."

After reading this poem spoken by Mi Yang himself, Meng Guang's words were filled with emotion.

Since Emperor Xiaohuan, the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions has become increasingly weaker. After the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has essentially completely lost its sovereignty over the Western Regions.

This was a regret in the hearts of many Han men in the past?

The loss of territory is something that every passionate man in China cannot tolerate.

But then the emotion in Meng Guang's words disappeared, and a bright light appeared in Meng Guang's eyes, and he continued:

"Tiance's northern expedition has not yet been returned, and the Chinese children are all over the Tianshan Mountains. The country has recovered for 30,000 miles, causing the spring breeze to restore Yuguan."

When he read this poem recently sang to the restoration of the Western Regions in Chang'an City, Meng Guang's face was filled with pride. At this moment, he no longer needed to remain humble!

"After the news of our army's recovery of Yumen Pass spread throughout the Western Regions, the countries in the Western Regions who received the news sent envoys to Chang'an to show their intention of submitting the tribute."

"If I have never remembered it correctly, more than forty Western countries have sent envoys or royal members to move in in the Sifang Pavilion."

More than forty countries?

Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng were shocked again when they heard the news.

According to historical records, there were more than 30 people in the Western Regions who claimed to be a country at first, but later after the change of time, the number of people in the Western Regions who claimed to be a country at more than 50 people.

Under this base, what does it mean that more than forty envoys from the Western Regions have moved into Sifang Hall?

This means that the vast majority of the regimes in the Western Regions, which cover tens of thousands of miles, are willing to submit to the current Han Dynasty.

This means that Mi Yang's ambition to establish the Sifang Pavilion has been initially achieved, and it also means that the current Han Dynasty has the outline of its heyday!

What a grand event this is?

Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng were already shocked and could not speak.

As a member of the Chinese nation, they yearn for such a grand event on the one hand.

As court officials of the Eastern Wu, they were a little scared that the Han Dynasty achieved such achievements.

This kind of fear is far more terrifying than the thousands of iron cavalry standing in front of them.

Seeing Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng's shocked appearance, Meng Guang's beard stroking his beards became faster and faster, and everything was worthy of attention. Meng Guang did not continue to speak and attack Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng.

Meng Guang first asked his subordinates to welcome Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng into the Sifang Pavilion to settle down. After Zhang Wen and Zhou Feng left, Meng Guang focused his eyes on King Che Shi.

Meng Guang instinctively felt a little displeased when he saw the strange costumes on King Cheshi.

Foreign clothing is not as grand and gorgeous as my Chinese clothing.

But due to his identity, Meng Guang still slightly moved to help King Cheshi up.

During the conversation between Meng Guang and Zhang Wen just now, King Che Shi kept tilting his body because he did not receive Meng Guang's response.

Although this posture is not physically and psychologically uncomfortable, King Cheshi did not feel dissonant at all.

Because King Cheshi knew that even the Protectorate of the Western Regions was only about equal to a commander in the Central Plains, not to mention that Meng Guang was one of the nine ministers.

To be honest, Meng Guang can accept his worship, so he can be considered as giving him face.

After being helped up by Meng Guang, King Cheshi's face became quite restrained.

The main reason is that he has never learned the etiquette of the great man, and he doesn't know how to open up the topic next.

Fortunately, Meng Guang knew some of Mi Yang’s next layout in the Western Regions, so Meng Guang didn’t want to make King Cheshi too embarrassed.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Meng Guang took the initiative to ask King Che Shi and said, "Where are you going?"

With the existence of translation, it is not difficult for King Che Shi, who is ignorant of Chinese, to communicate with Meng Guang.

Seeing Meng Guang taking the initiative to ask himself, King Cheshi was overjoyed.

He quickly replied respectfully: "I heard that the young master of the Grand Sima occasionally felt a cold and needed some herbs outside the city as a guide for medicine.

Fortunately, with the help of the Grand Sima, the minister was able to restore the country successfully. Such a great virtue must be punished.

I saw that the weather was right today and was about to go out to find the herbs for the Grand Sima's young master."

After hearing King Cheshi's explanation, Meng Guang knew that he was not lying.

Although the countries in the Western Regions have average military capabilities, they are basically rich countries. It is not difficult to find out the news if they spend a little money.

But the reason why King Cheshi went out couldn't help but make Meng Guang feel a little funny.

After all, he was the king of a country. He was willing to take the risk of seeking medicine for the prince of the Grand Sima. The name of King Cheshi was indeed correct.

King Cheshi's Chinese name is "Shu Aiyang", which is very particular.

Shu represents Yizhou, while Yang is interrelated with the word "yang". In this way, the meaning of Shu loves Yang is self-evident.

Not to mention the other person, the ability of this chariot king to kneel down and lick is indeed awesome.

“No need to go.

I have many talents in the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to take any risks in some herbs."

After saying this, Meng Guang turned around and left outside the Sifang Pavilion.

After Meng Guang left, King Cheshi, who received the order from Meng Guang, didn't know for a moment whether he should go back.

But after thinking for a while, he felt that it would be better not to disobey Meng Guang's King Che Shi, so he took his entourage back to the Sifang Pavilion with his entourage.

However, after returning to the Sifang Pavilion, King Cheshi immediately changed into another face.

When in front of Meng Guang, King Cheshi looked humble and honest, but when there was no one around, King Cheshi's expression became solemn and he became suspicious.

King Cheshi kept rubbing the valuable glass cup in his hand with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

After thinking for a long time, King Cheshi called a confidant and gave him a lot of money, asking him to find out what the two messengers he had just seen outside the door were.

King Che Shi always felt that the arrival of the two would have a significant impact on the current situation in the Western Regions.

As for whether the impact is good or bad, it depends on the results of the investigation.

...

After leaving the Sifang Pavilion, Meng Guang went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Liu Bei's death, a very interesting situation has emerged in the political landscape of the Han Dynasty.

In the will, Liu Bei had planned three auxiliary ministers for Liu Chan, but Liu Bei did not clearly point out who was the head of the three auxiliary ministers.

"All military and national affairs will be discussed by the three governments and then reported to the young master."

Maybe it was because Liu Bei could not make a decision, or maybe it was because Liu Bei was intentional. Under Liu Bei's words, the current political structure of the Han Dynasty is to maintain the situation of the three governments standing together.

The three prefectures are Zhuge Liang's Prime Minister's Mansion, Mi Yang's Grand Sima's Mansion and Zhang Fei's General's Mansion.

When the owners of the three palaces reach an agreement, they can achieve the historical pattern of "the palace and the palace are all integrated: the government is powerful and all the government can be controlled and all the government can be controlled."

Judging from the series of personnel changes in the Han court in recent times, it is not difficult for others to judge that the three governments essentially have division of labor and checks and balances.

For example, Mi Yang's Grand Sima Mansion was mainly responsible for the military operations of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang's prime minister was mainly responsible for the daily government affairs of the Han Dynasty.
