Chang'an Intoxicated, A Chaos-Bringing Concubine

Chapter 291 Great Gift from the Western Regions

The time was quickly pushed to the spring of 381 AD, the 16th year of Jianyuan in the Great Qin Dynasty.

During the Ching Ming Festival, all members of the Fu clan went to worship their ancestors, and Fu Jian and Xuan Cheng went to offer incense in front of the tomb of Empress Dowager Xun. The two bowed down to their mother, and the princes behind them also kowtowed to their grandmother. Incense.

Fu Xian learned a lot of knowledge under Fu Hui's teaching, and his speech became much more fluent. For example, when he saw Fu Jian, he would salute and kowtow, "I pay homage to my father."

When he saw Xuancheng, he would also ask Uncle Huang how he was, but he was thinking about something.

Xuancheng saw the clue, and asked him bluntly, "What is Xian'er thinking?"

Fu Xian raised his lovely head and asked, "Uncle Huang, why am I the son of my father and my uncle?"

Xuancheng was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

After a while, he laughed dryly, "You will understand when you grow up." But he resented in his heart, it was all Fu Jian, who asked him to adopt his son to him.

On April [-]th, envoys from the countries of the Western Regions came, but this time it was not the envoys from Yanqi, Kucha, Wusun, and Ruoqiang, but the envoys from two small countries in the Western Regions. And the Shanshan Ministry, and the envoys were not ordinary people, but the king Mi Can of Cheshiqian Kingdom and the king Xiu Mituo of Shanshan. This was so unexpected that even Fu Jian himself did not think of it.

Because after Fu Jian destroyed the dynasty five years ago, all the 62 countries in the Western Regions came to visit. At that time, the envoys sent by the kings of various countries came. Although there were 62 envoys, Fu Jian treated them slightly differently. The distance between Cheshi Front and Gaochang County is tens of kilometers, and Shanshan is on the edge of Yangguan, so Fu Jian is more familiar with Che Shi Front and Shanshan Kingdom. In this way, the kings of these two countries Come to worship, it can be regarded as meeting old acquaintances.

"Shanshan King Xiu Mi Tuo, the former king of Cheshi Mi Tan?"

"Exactly." Fu Jian nodded, "This time, you go to meet me with me, by the way, call Lu Guang, he has been to that place."

Nan'an went to Lu Guang's mansion to deliver the decree.

Xuancheng was still in a daze, and he muttered, "According to etiquette, envoys from these countries also come to participate in the New Year Ceremony before the end of the year. It is definitely not normal to come to the court in April."

"Imperial Brother thinks their trip is not good?"

Xuancheng shook his head, "No, it's not that the visitor is not kind, maybe it's a good thing."

"Since it's a good thing, then we should treat it better."

Fu Jian received these envoys from the Western Regions in the Chengming Hall of Weiyang Palace. Lu Guang came, and several princes also came to receive them.

Fu Jian ordered all the interviewees to wear formal attire, and the imperial guard Habayashiro neatly stood guard in front of the Chengming Hall.

He was aloof, sitting and watching the two kings of the Western Regions, who had never met before, come to worship step by step accompanied by the escort of the court guard of honor.

Xuancheng stood in the hall, and he noticed that the group of people who came was not the second king of the Western Regions that Fu Jian said, but two other people and three attendants.One of the two men was a monk, and his appearance was different from that of people from the Central Plains, which was exactly what Indians look like today. The other was also not from the Central Plains, and his appearance was similar to that of people from Xinjiang today.

The four knelt down and worshiped, and shouted, "Greetings to His Majesty the King of Qin."

"You envoys don't need to be polite, please start."

All eyes in the hall were fixed on the four envoys from the Western Regions, which made them panic for a moment, and they didn't know how to speak.

Fu Jian said with a smile, "The four came from a long way, it's hard work, but I don't know why the four came here today, I remember that the envoys have only been to Chang'an at the end of the year, right?"

The person who spoke first seemed to be in his 30s, with a very exotic appearance, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, at the end of the year, the front of our car market was supposed to send envoys to attend the New Year Ceremony, but at that time the front of the car market was in chaos. , Mi Can was unwilling to come to the court, and now Mi Can came to apologize, and asked the King of Qin to forget the past and save the thousands of people in front of Che Shi."

"Are you Mizu?"

Fu Jian knew from the list of guests staying in the official residence that the person who came to worship this time was the king in the front part of Che Shi, Mi Dao, but he had never met Mi Dao before, and seeing Mi Dao for the first time today in the Chengming Palace made him startled. The border between Che Shiqian and Daqin is only a few tens of miles away from Gaochang County. If Cheshiqian surrenders to Daqin, then Fu Jian will treat Mi Dan like a brother.

"Exactly, His Majesty the King of Qin, this time when Mi Yu entered the court, he came here to ask for help, begging the King of Qin to save the thousands of people in front of my car division."

"You don't have to worry. The front part of the car market is a good neighbor with Daqin. I won't sit idly by. Please speak slowly."

The monk next to Mi Cang stepped forward to pay respects, and said, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, I am Kumarabati, the former national teacher of Che Shi, and I am here to pay homage to His Majesty the King of Qin. Help, save the citizens of the former Cheshi Kingdom."

"Kumarapati?" Xuancheng said silently, how familiar the name was, he quickly searched in his mind, hoping to find this monk Kumarapati from the historical knowledge he had learned in modern times, but he hesitated After a long time, he vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be an eminent monk from the Western Regions during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and he had no memory of other things at all.

He gave a gift, and the gift was very expensive.

He ordered the attendants behind him to take out this precious gift, which was a scripture book. The people in the hall did not see the name of the scripture book clearly, but when Nan An presented it to Fu Jian, everyone saw that Fu Jian's face overflowed. smile.

"The Great Classic? Mi, this gift from you is too expensive."

"Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra?" Xuancheng sighed, this is indeed a great gift, it seems that the former country of Cheshi was in danger of subjugation, and even the king came to Chang'an to worship in person, it is not so much a pilgrimage as a call for help and escape , the king and his national teacher came to Daqin, the former country of Cheshi basically fell into the hands of others, and the big country that annexed the front part of Cheshi might be the Yanqi country, Qiuci country, and Uganda country that Shi Fu said. Countries like Sun and Ruoqiang.

"National teacher, please rest assured, since I have accepted your gift, I will naturally grant your request."

The person who spoke next was similar to the king in the front of Cheshi from his attire. Xuancheng guessed that it must be Shanshan King Xiu Mituo. As expected, he bowed and said, "Shanshan Shan Wang Xiu Mi Tuo pays homage to His Majesty the Great Qin King Qin."

His age does not seem very old, he is about 30 years old, with a high nose bridge, big eyes, brown eyes, and brown hair.

"It's King Shanshan, I know you, have you made an appointment with Mi Can?"

"King Qin, this time there is war in our Shanshan country, the people are in dire straits, and the people are in dire straits. Xiu Mitu came to court with the expectations of tens of thousands of people in our Shanshan country, and he is asking the king of Qin to save the lives of the people of our Shanshan country."

Fu Jian said, "You don't have to worry, I will discuss this matter with the courtiers, you have come so far and have worked hard."

The last one who spoke was a very young man, who seemed to be less than 20 years old, with a charming appearance, blond hair, blue eyes, big eyes, high nose, white skin, and a tall and well-proportioned figure. The eyes of everyone in the hall were locked on him. , each have different meanings, Fu Hong and Fu Rui were whispering to each other, not knowing what to say, Xuancheng glanced at them, signaling them not to speak in private, but wondered in his heart, why does this person look like a handsome man from Eastern European countries today Lu Guang stared at the man seriously, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Your Majesty the King of Qin, I am Bai Shuang, the younger brother of the King of Qiuci, and the younger brother of Bai Chun, the King of Qiuci. I am here to congratulate you on entering the court."

It turned out that he was the younger brother of the King of Kucha, and he was the envoy of the Kucha Kingdom. Xuancheng couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Fu Jian's eyes fixed on him for a while before he moved away, "Oh, it's the brother of King Qiuci, then, why are you coming to Chang'an this time?"

Bai Shuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, Bai Shuang is here to give you a gift."

"Gifts? Oh, what kind of gifts are you giving? Aren't you guys at war? Why did your dignified brother leave your country and come to Daqin?"

"As the king of Qin said, the countries in the Western Regions are indeed not peaceful today. That is because there are too many countries and the kings want too much, but there are so many lands and jewels in the Western Regions. How can 62 kings divide them equally? I His elder brother Bai Chunsu came to admire the majesty of King Qin, and wanted to imitate King Qin in conquering the countries in the Western Regions, so he ordered me to come and present King Qin with a big gift, and I hope King Qin will accept it with a smile."

Xuancheng vaguely understood the meaning of his words.

King Bai Chun of Qiuci wanted to learn from Fu Jian to unify the countries in the Western Regions, so the Kingdom of Qiuci united with the big countries such as Yanqi and Wusun to eliminate the small countries in the Western Regions one by one, and finally these big countries in the Western Regions competed. They were also worried that Da Qin would send troops to interfere, so King Qiuci sent his younger brother. The purpose of Bai Shuang's visit to Chang'an this time was to ask Fu Jian not to send troops to manage the war in the Western Regions. Then, the gift he said was what?

"Oh, Brother Wang is so friendly, so what is your gift?"

Bai Shuang took a step forward and said, "It's Bai Shuang."

The people in the hall suddenly sighed, what does this mean, did you send yourself as a gift?Xuancheng was a little uneasy, he seemed to have realized what Bai Shuang meant by the big gift.

Fu Jian feigned astonishment, "Oh, I don't understand what Wang brother said."

"Don't the King of Qin like beautiful women?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone sighed again, this is a marriage, not so much a marriage, as a way to curry favor with Fu Jian, sending himself as a gift.

Lu Guang said, "Your Majesty, what the younger brother said is reasonable. From my point of view, it would be considered a happy event if I, Daqin, marry Qiuci."

Fu Jian smiled awkwardly, "This?..., Brother Baishuang, I don't think you are unbeautiful, but I need to discuss this important matter with the ministers. Go down and rest first, and wait for the results of my discussion to come out first." How about a time to let you know?"

"Then, His Majesty King Qin, don't make Bai Shuang wait." He cast a wink at Fu Jian.

"No, I will definitely do what you wish, Nan'an, take him down so that I can serve you."

Nan'an came down and invited Bai Shuang to leave. The other three envoys in the hall looked at Fu Jian expectantly.

"Your Majesty the King of Qin, please don't agree to the request of Brother Qiuci. It was his elder brother Bai Chun who joined forces with the Yanqi Kingdom to provoke the wars among the countries in the Western Regions, causing the people of our Cheshiqian Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom to fall into chaos and death. "Miya knelt down and begged.

"Mi, you got up first, and I didn't agree to him. I will discuss this matter with the ministers. Since you are here, you are all my guests in Daqin. I will treat you politely. Please don't worry, don't worry about it." If you dispute with each other, I will give you a satisfactory answer, not to mention that you are so loyal to me and have sent out the Da Pin Jing, I will not let you down, come and take the envoys down to rest."

The palace guards of honor in the hall invited them down, leaving only the important officials of Daqin in the Chengming Hall.
