Chapter 47 Emperor Wu of Han who defeated the Huns (Part 2)

Under Wei Qing's escort, Madoudou and Zhiguoguo finally walked out of the heart of the desert and came to Longcheng safely.

Because it was inconvenient to bring Madoudou and Zhiguoguo, Wei Qing entrusted Madoudou and Zhiguoguo to his subordinates, "You escort their brother and sister back to Chang'an and give it to my sister to take care of them. When I return in triumphant, I will go and pick them up again."

Although Madoudou knew that Wei Qing would win a great victory when he was in Longcheng during this trip, he was still worried about Wei Qing.

"Uncle Wei, take care of yourself. My sister and I are waiting for you in Chang'an. When you return in triumphantly, we will leave here again." Ma Doudou stepped forward and hugged Wei Qing, saying his plans reluctantly.

Wei Qing touched the heads of Madoudou and Zhiguoguo and said with a loving look on his face. "Okay, you should take care of yourself. The journey back to Chang'an is long. They are all subordinates who have followed me for many years. I can feel at ease with them on the road to protect you."

After parting with Wei Qing, Ma Doudou and Zhiguoguo, led by Wei Qing, traveled through mountains and rivers and walked for nearly half a month before they arrived in Chang'an.

Because Wei Qing left a letter, Madoudou and Zhiguoguo sent it to Wei Zifu's palace as he wished. Wei Zifu liked it very much as soon as he saw Madoudou and Zhiguoguo.

That night, Wei Zifu asked her attendant to tell Emperor Wu of Han that he wanted to surprise him. Liu Che was overjoyed when he heard this.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, had a special liking for Wei Zifu, and Wei Zifu said he wanted to give him a surprise, so he left the house and held a banquet in Weiyang Palace that night.

When Wei Zifu appeared in Weiyang Palace with Madou and Zhiguoguo in strange costumes, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che looked at the two strange children in front of him, not knowing Wei Zifu's intention.

"My beloved concubine, where do these two children come from? How strange are they dressed?" Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, walked up to Madoudou and Zhiguoguo and looked carefully.

Madou Dou took Lazhi Guoguo's hand, and the brother and sister knelt on the ground in fear and fear, "Long live Your Majesty, Long live your Majesty."

When Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che saw that Ma Doudou and Zhiguoguo seemed a little afraid of him, he looked at Wei Zifu beside him and said, "Let them get up and talk back."

After hearing this, Wei Zifu walked to Madoudou and Zhiguoguo and helped the brother and sister up. She whispered to Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, this brother and sister were picked up by his concubine Wei Qing outside the frontier. His brother was called Madoudou and his sister was called Zhiguoguo. His brother said they were from the future. Seeing that their life experience was strange, he asked his subordinates to send the brother and sister to the palace."

Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was the only fantasy to Wei Zifu when he said that Madou and Zhiguoguo came from the future.

In order to gain the trust of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, Ma Doudou told Liu Che about the adventure he had experienced with Zhiguoguo.

Finally, Ma Doudou handed a jade plaque given to him by Emperor Jing of Han to Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, "Your Majesty, this is your father Emperor Jing of Han to commemorate us brother and sister..."

Before Ma Doudou finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, whose hand holding the jade plaque was trembling, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.

Not long after, the news that Wei Qing defeated the Huns in Longcheng was passed back to Chang'an.

In order to fulfill the promise, Madoudou and Zhiguoguo met Wei Qing after Wei Qing returned to the court. After saying goodbye, they left reluctantly and began the next journey.

【Sesame brother and sister have something to say】

According to Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, the "Stories of Han Wu", his original name was "Zhì" and the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty (reigned from 141 BC to 87 BC). He was an outstanding politician and writer in the Western Han Dynasty. He was the son of Emperor Jing of Han Liu Qi, and his mother was the queen of Wang. He was the most accomplished emperor in the Western Han Dynasty. He was praised by later generations as "the emperor of the ages" by Emperor Qin Shihuang.

In order to consolidate centralization, Emperor Wu of Han implemented the political order of ceremonies and the robbery of gold, which solved the problem of forming cliques and personal gains between princes and ministers. In terms of economy, he appointed Sang Hongyang and others, implemented measures such as salt and iron, and calculated salt and iron, cracking down on merchants who hoarded goods and revitalizing agriculture. In the cultural field, it adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestions, implemented the abolition of all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, which made people's thoughts very unified at that time.

Emperor Wu of Han was the first emperor in Chinese history to send a large army to the hinterland of the Huns to fight to the decisive battle. He immigrated a large number of people in the northwest border counties, which played a major role in the victory of the counterattack against the Huns and the management of the Western Regions. In particular, the Battle of Mobei gave the Huns a fatal blow. History says that "The Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert." From then on, the Huns moved north to Mobei and moved west.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he sent Zhang Qian and others to the Western Regions to send advanced agricultural, handicraft technology and cultural achievements of the Han people, promoted trade and friendly exchanges among peoples of all ethnic groups, and promoted the development of ethnic minorities in the border areas and the integration of ethnic groups.

After defeating the Huns, Emperor Wu of Han opened up the Silk Road and turned China's attention to the world for the first time. The Han envoys arrived in Dayuan, Kangju, Dayuezhi, Daxia, Anxi, Shidu (i.e. India), Khotan, Juli, Lixuan and other countries, and opened up the Silk Road connecting the Eurasian continent. The farthest arrival of Lixuan is located in Alexandria, Egypt, which is the farthest region that the Han envoys arrived. The silk trade between Europe, Asia and Africa was formed, promoting the exchange of cultural and economics between East and West.
