Chapter 413 After Feng Liao
It is said that Wang Yue was at Wang Yun's residence, asking for instructions about the Nanlin Sword Sect's audition for the sword master. Wang Yun, however, took his time and told the story of a heroine from the Han Dynasty, Princess Jieyou.
Princess Jieyou married in a foreign land and was able to return home until she was seventy. Both Princess Xijun and Princess Xijun made great contributions to the peace of the Han territory. Wang Yue listened leisurely and fascinated, but still asked strangely: "What does this have to do with the Nanlin Sword Sect's audition for the sword master?"
Wang Yun's white hair swayed slightly, and he laughed and said: "Be patient, don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly."
"Princess Jieyou has turned the tide many times, saved the relationship between Wusun and the Han Dynasty, and helped Wusun resist the clutches of the Huns. She can be said to be a great woman with great hard work and merit. However, beside Princess Jieyou, there is an even greater woman, who is the same as Princess Jieyou. It’s like a twin star shining brightly.”
Wang Yue nodded and said: "The great Situ is talking about Mrs. Feng? What's her story?"
Wang Yun nodded and said: "It is Mrs. Feng Feng Liao. She is the most outstanding woman among the maids who accompanied Princess Jieyou to Wusun. It can be said that she single-handedly supported the Han Dynasty's diplomacy in the Western Regions. Although Feng Liao came from a humble background , but they are knowledgeable and courteous, intelligent and insightful, especially eloquent, calm and steady, deeply loved by people who relieve worries, and often treat each other as sisters. After Feng Liao arrived in Wusun, he married the distinguished right general as his wife, and because She is so talented that she is honored as Mrs. Feng by the upper class of Wusun and even the nobles of various countries in the Western Regions."
"It's been a long road. Not only did she accompany Princess Jieyou through the long years in a foreign country, but she and Princess Jieyou were also like each other inside and outside the palace, supporting each other and standing up in times of crisis to serve as envoys. He acted as a mediator among the countries in the Western Regions, turned conflicts into friendship, and made great contributions."
"Jieyou's appearance in Wusun and Wusun's pro-Han people angered the Xiongnu royal court. After constant pressure was ineffective, and several attempts to intervene failed, the Xiongnu Chanyu finally sent troops to threaten Wusun and demanded that Wusun Sun handed over Princess Jieyou and severed all contact with the Han Dynasty. However, Princess Weng Guimi was not to be trifled with, and she had no intention of compromising with a powerful enemy. Princess Jieyou once wrote to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, requesting her natal family to send troops to jointly conquer the Xiongnu. Huo Guang, the general who was in charge of the government at that time, made a decisive decision and sent 150,000 troops. The troops were divided into five groups to fight against the Huns with Wusun. He also sent Captain Chang Hui to Wusun to help in the battle. It was probably Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, etc. who were the generals of the Han Dynasty decades ago. The blow to the Xiongnu was so unforgettable that the Huns did not dare to confront the Han army and were defeated all the way to the north. The Wusun army just waited for work and intercepted them halfway. Chang Hui and the Wusun soldiers defeated the Xiongnu. In the winter of the same year The Shanyu of the Xiongnu personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack *Sun. On the way, they encountered a rare heavy snowfall and suffered heavy casualties. Not even one-tenth of the survivors survived. The three kingdoms of Dingling, Wuhuan, and Wusun took the opportunity to besiege the Xiongnu from three sides, causing the Xiongnu to Three-tenths of the country's population was lost, the country's power was greatly weakened, and all its vassals collapsed, and it never recovered. At this point, Emperor Xianwu sent Zhang Qian as an envoy, and the two princesses Xijun and Jieyou were married to implement the United Wusun "Broken the Right Arm of the Huns" "The strategic plan has finally been successfully realized through nearly half a century of unremitting management."
Wang Yue took a deep breath and said: "Emperor Xianwu is really talented and strategist! In my opinion, he is no less generous than the First Emperor!"
Wang Yun nodded and continued: "The defeat of the Xiongnu made Princess Jieyou's prestige in the Wusun Kingdom unprecedentedly high. Weng Guimi even wrote to the Han Dynasty, requesting that his eldest son Yuan Guimi marry another Han princess. . Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty immediately made Liu Xiangfu, the niece of Princess Jieyou, a princess and asked her to live in Shanglinyuan in Chang'an to learn the Wusun language and customs and prepare to become the new Wusun mother in the future. However, the good times did not last long, and the Han Dynasty sent the princess off. When the majestic procession arrived at Dunhuang and had not yet left the fortress, bad news came from the Wusun Kingdom. The fat king Weng Guimi died of illness. In the ensuing battle for royal power, Princess Jieyou had to fight for her motherland again. Weng Guimi was still alive. At that time, Yuan Guimi, the eldest son of Jie Yousheng, was appointed as the crown prince, and he was about to marry a princess of the Han family. If he married, everything would go smoothly, but it was just a little short of it. According to the last wish of the previous king, Cen Zuo, the kingdom It belongs to the prince Nimi who was born to a Hun princess. Weng Guimi is just an escrow and will still have to return it to Nimi in the future. Weng Guimi is dead. This prince who has been unknown for decades is finally unwilling to be lonely."
"Perhaps it was because Ni Mi's name change made more sense, or perhaps because Yuan Guimi was still young and not powerful enough. In short, in this contest, the grandson of the Han Dynasty lost to the grandson of the Huns, and the Wusun nobles finally elected Ni Mi as the new leader. The king is known as the Mad King. Seeing that Yuan Guimi failed to become the king, the Western Han Dynasty court immediately recalled the princess Liu Xiangfu who had been watching in Dunhuang and unilaterally canceled the engagement. As a result, Princess Jieyou in Wusun fell into even more isolation and helplessness. situation, the power of the Han and the Xiongnu in Wusun waxed and waned, and major changes occurred. Politics seemed to be so cruel. After a change, the influence of the Han in Wusun, and the many years of friendly exchanges between the Han and Wusun, relieved their worries. The results of many years of hard work in Wusun seemed to have been wasted overnight.”
"In order to comply with Wusun customs and to maintain Han power in Wusun, Princess Jieyou resolutely made the decision to remarry the mad king Ni Mi. Ni Mi deserves to be called the mad king, probably because he has been suppressed since he was a child and suffered from loneliness and indifference. Xiwei has a very cruel and ferocious character, and his rebellious behavior in ruling Wusun has made the whole country full of complaints. Needless to say, the mad king and the princess you are not getting along with each other. Although the princess gave birth to another son, Wei Mi, for the mad king, the situation has not improved at all and is often at war with each other. Life or death, what to do? Princess Jieyou, who has always been smart and strong, will never sit back and wait for death. Especially after decades of marriage and marriage, her wisdom and courage are much higher than that of the Mad King, and she will not sit back and watch her life's hard work disappear into nothing. .”
"After careful analysis, Jieyou believes that the mad king's rebellious behavior and the rebellion of the people have reached a certain level, and the time is ripe to take action to get rid of him. He also used the dissatisfaction of Wujiitu, the son of the Hun princess and Weng Guimi, against the mad king. The envoys of the Han Dynasty who were jointly sent to Wusun organized a "Hongmen Banquet" for the Mad King. During the banquet, they sent people to draw their swords and assassinate the Mad King. Unfortunately, the sword missed the target, and the Mad King was wounded and escaped on horseback. At this point, the two sides finally met each other. , the situation suddenly changed. Wujiu slaughtered Canghuang and fled. The mad king quickly led his troops to surround Princess Jieyou and the envoys of the Han Dynasty in Chigu City, the capital of Wusun. The Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty sent troops to rescue the siege, and the envoys who participated in the assassination were escorted back to Chang'an and beheaded. , and then sent envoy Zhang Weng to hear the case, appease the mad king, and seek reconciliation. This was originally a formality, intended to calm the matter temporarily and take the opportunity to weaken the mad king. But the stupid Zhang Weng failed to understand the court and Jieyou After arriving at Wusun, they actually opened the trial in a big way, even grabbing Princess Jieyou's hair and yelling at her. Jieyou was naturally dissatisfied and secretly submitted a secret letter to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty again. Sure enough, not long after, the court ordered Zhang Weng to be taken back and beheaded. The deputy envoy who went there also missed a great opportunity to kill the mad king and was sentenced to death after returning to Chang'an."
"Taking advantage of this difficult time, Wu Jiitu, the son of a Xiongnu princess, fled to Beishan and threatened that the Xiongnu from his mother's family would send troops to quell the rebellion. Therefore, all the pro-Hongnu forces in the Wusun Kingdom surrendered, hoping to seize the whole country and stationed at the border. The army of the Western Region Protectorate of the Han Dynasty was in a tense confrontation, and the war was about to break out. The "brotherly state" alliance between Han and Wusun for many years was about to be destroyed. At this critical moment, for the sake of national justice, the female diplomat Master Feng Liao stepped forward and risked his life to personally persuade Wujiitu. Feng Liao used his excellent knowledge, excellent eloquence, and many years of understanding of the situation in the Western Regions to reason with Wujiitu and analyze the pros and cons. , and used the powerful military power of the Han Dynasty as the backing to put pressure on Wujiutu, and finally succeeded in persuading him. In the end, Wujiutu said that as long as the Han Dynasty gave him a status, he was willing to settle for a "trumpet".
After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty learned of the incident, he summoned Feng Liao Wanli to the court and stated the whole story in detail. Feng Liao talked eloquently in front of the emperor, ranging from the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and people of the countries in the Western Regions, to the origins and interests of the Wusun factions, everything was precise, clear and eloquent, and his words were clear. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty greatly appreciated it, so he appointed Feng Liao as an official envoy of the Han Dynasty for the first time. He would ride in a brocade chariot and carry the Han Dynasty's official banner, and represent the emperor on missions to Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions. It was unique at the time for a woman to travel with a chariot. Moreover, ten years later, turmoil broke out again in Wusun. Feng Liao, who had returned to Chang'an for retirement, resolutely wrote to the emperor regardless of his advanced age in order to consolidate ethnic relations and once again traveled thousands of miles as an envoy to the countries in the Western Regions. A role model for the ages. "
"Feng Liao fulfilled his mission when he sent an envoy, exposed the Xiongnu's plot to sow discord, and used various mediation methods to finally make the whole Wusun country willing to accept the arrangements of the Han Dynasty. Later, the Wusun Kingdom was divided into two, and Yuan Guimi, the eldest son of Princess Jieyou, was established. He became Da Kunmi of Wusun and unified 60,000 households. Li Wujiitu became Xiaokunmi and unified 40,000 households. At this point, the storm finally subsided, Wusun and everyone were in peace, and the border between Han and Wusun once again ushered in peace and tranquility. Two years later. After that, Princess Jieyou's eldest son Yuan Guimi and her youngest son Yumi died of illness one after another. The princess's grandson Xingmi ascended the throne as Dakunmi, but was quite weak. Most of the forces in Wusun joined Wujiutu. Jieyou felt that he was under Wusun's control. It didn’t mean much anymore, so I retired and returned home.”
Wang Yun sighed leisurely: "The beauty left home, and the leader returned. Chang'an is still prosperous, but my daughter is no longer young. No matter whether it is Xijun, Jieyou or Feng Liao, although he has never fought on the battlefield, killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds, nor has he written a book They set up biographies and governed the country with clear codes, but their dedication and hard work, their tenderness and tears will still be cherished by future generations, and will never be erased by the vicissitudes of life." Wang Yueyuan thought about the glory of the Han Dynasty in the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is a pity that today's court is not as good as It’s incomparable to the time of Emperor Xianwu!”
Wang Yun glared at Wang Yue, and Wang Yue realized that he had complained that he shouldn't and smiled awkwardly. Wang Yundao: "That's why we need loyal souls like us to bring order to the chaos! Unite all the forces that can be united and control all the gangs that can be controlled. We must win the current position of sword master of the Nanlin Sword Sect."
"The descendants of Princess Jieyou also returned to the dynasty and became members of the royal family. After Mrs. Feng Liao, her descendants were also named princesses because of their high merits. Emperor Xianling had a princess who was the queen of the Feng family. Twenty-nine, she has been an expert in the royal family since she was a child. She is not only well-informed and courteous, but also beautiful and beautiful. She is also talented, taught by famous teachers, and has strong swordsmanship. With her in charge, it goes without saying that she is loyal, and the position of the sword master is secure. "
Wang Yue was startled and said: "Princess Wannian?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
