Chapter 461 Extra 8 (5)
Yes, perhaps, Cai Zhaoji, who holds the throat of public opinion in this world, is not reaching a position exchange relationship with her at this moment, but is also watching her self in another world take actions in this body.
How could she let the other party down!
Although she had not experienced the other party's legendary life, she only heard about this turning point in history and the prosperity of Dayong from Jiang Tang. She was inexplicably shocked by the saying that "women can also be noble", and was even more inspired by the sense of mission to go to the western border.
In the past that she had experienced, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and the barbarians rose up, so that she, the daughter of a great scholar, was robbed and exiled to the territory of the Xiongnu. But what about this world?
When the Xiongnu tribes to the north of Bingzhou were invading, Her Majesty, who was only the Marquis of Leping at that time, personally led the troops to fight against them. During the long journey to recover the states, she almost never neglected the control and governance of the border areas, so that today we have the situation of using barbarians to control barbarians and people from all directions coming to pay tribute.
Here, there will never be the Hu and Qiang hunting scene of "men's heads hung on the side of horses, and women carried behind horses", no struggle outside the Great Wall of China of "wanting to die but unable to, wanting to live but unable to", but only the demeanor of a great country that integrates every inch of border land into its rule.
This brilliant victory and the unchanging Chinese character made her want to take a step forward even when she was caught up in it.
Just think of this sudden courage as something she stole from another self.
When the letter was sent towards Chang'an the next day, Cai Zhaoji also followed Jiang Tang on the journey westward to the Tang Mao Kingdom.
The unique scenery on the Tibetan Plain is the same as that in the northern frontier, both of which are in an uncivilized state. But this time, she is not a prey that has lost its autonomy and was robbed, but a special envoy who is going to bring the majesty of His Majesty the Heavenly Dynasty to the Tang Maoqiang people!
Jiang Tang looked at Cai Zhaoji's face and saw that she was a little hesitant at first, but it gradually disappeared as she rode her horse forward, holding the reins. And because the light of the sky in Zangyuan was reflected in her eyes, they became more open and broad, and he felt a little more at ease.
Because Cai Zhaoji was sincere when she mentioned the journey of another world, she chose to believe that the other party would make an attempt and put this responsibility in the hands of the other party. Perhaps it was not a wrong decision.
Just like Your Majesty believed back then that not all Qiang people had been affected by the hundred-year Qiang rebellion, and there were still people who could be used by her to build the foundation of Dayong, wasn't this also a dangerous attempt?
However, the historical development on the other side is truly terrifying.
From what Cai Zhaoji said, and because of her personal experience of suffering, Jiang Tang believed that there was not a single bit of falsehood in it. But it was precisely this other future that made Jiang Tang feel terrified.
The wanton looting by the barbarians in the border areas did not mean that they could enjoy some freedom with little restriction from the central government. On the contrary, the need to obtain survival supplies in this way means that the resources they can generate internally are pitifully small.
In such a situation, those in the upper class might be able to grab a share of the spoils from the fragmented Han people, but those of them who could only graze sporadically might even lose the chance to avoid the disaster in the Huangzhong Valley during the winter!
How can this be a long-term way to survive?
Fortunately... Fortunately, they still have His Majesty.
And now, another group of Qiang people scattered outside are about to return to the embrace of the Central Plains dynasty.
"Look! Someone is coming to greet us ahead." The sharp-eyed Jiang Tang stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Hearing her say this, Cai Zhaoji immediately looked in that direction and saw a line of black dots at the end of her sight in the snowy grassland in the distance, heading towards them.
It was not difficult to tell from the opponent's actions that they were not going to start a war with them. Instead, the moment they saw the flag of King Yong flying in the air, they all pulled the reins. It was unknown whether it was because of the artillery fire on that day or the psychological trauma caused by the disastrous defeat in the battle, but they were obviously the more skilled in riding, but their speed was much slower than Jiang Tang and his group.
As the two sides got closer, Cai Zhaoji noticed the other party's frightened attitude.
With this in mind, she rode forward two steps and said the first sentence of the meeting in a frank tone, "By order of His Majesty, the special envoy of Dayong wishes to see Queen Tang Mao!"
The moment this sentence was spoken, Cai Zhaoji realized that taking the first step of adaptation was not as difficult as she had imagined.
But what she didn't know was that she was not the only one who was experiencing this eye-opening journey and realizing how exciting the life of a female official in Dayong could be.
Because of that accident, it wasn't just her who appeared in this world, there was also Zhen Mi.
When she opened her eyes and found herself among the female officials of the Shangshutai, Zhen Mi felt like she was dreaming.
who is she? She is Zhen Mi.
It’s just Zhen Mi.
In this world, she did not marry Yuan Xi first, and then become a trophy of the Cao family because of the defeat of the Yuan family and was obtained by Cao Pi. Instead, when Dayong conquered Jizhou, Zhongshan Zhen family helped her, giving her the opportunity to enter the court.
Her original husband, Cao Pi, who was appointed as the Crown Prince of Wei by Cao Cao, is now just one of the officials to be sent abroad by Emperor Dayong.
Her original son, Cao Rui, was not born to her, but was the son of Cao Pi and Guo Zhao, a pair of like-minded political ambitions.
Now she is an official of Shangshutai and has her own career.
For some reason, after suddenly hearing the news, Zhen Mi did not feel the pain of losing her own child, but instead felt an indescribable relief.
How can it not be relaxing?
After Cao Pi was established as the Crown Prince of Wei, everyone's attention was focused on the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Being in the middle of this situation, Zhen Mi inevitably had to ensure her status for herself and Cao Rui to avoid being taken away by the three ladies, Guo, Yin and Li.
But Zhen Mi in this world is different.
She didn't need to worry about how to gain some care and favor from Cao Pi, nor did she need to try her best to make Cao Rui get enough attention from his father, nor did she need to ease the relationship between her and Madam Bian through the so-called "peace of mind". All she had to do was to take care of the affairs at hand.
From the documents on the desk, it was not difficult for Zhen Mi to see that her self in this world had become familiar with these affairs, and had even begun to plot further advancement in order to gain the right to speak among senior officials.
In the letters she exchanged with her family, everyone seemed to be more optimistic about her ability to make further progress than her brother who was serving as a local official in Jizhou.
For Zhen Mi, Madam Ding and Madam Bian, who served as officials in the same court, were not her mother-in-laws, and Guo Zhao was not her love rival. If there was any competition between them, it was only to see who could win the favor of the emperor - this was almost impossible in her life experience.
This completely different life path inevitably exposed her flaws the moment she met the empress, and she had no choice but to frankly admit her origins.
What surprised Zhen Mi a little was that Qiao Yan did not immediately arrest her, the person who had usurped the magpie's nest, but instead asked her to tell the history of that world one by one, and had it recorded by someone.
Ren Hong, who was in charge of recording this matter, paused countless times while writing and looked at Zhen Mi's face several times, trying to figure out whether what she said was true or false. However, all the details that Zhen Mi said could never be made up by anyone. Only someone who had experienced it personally could describe the game between the various parties so clearly.
Especially the Battle of Guandu where both sides fought back and forth.
When Zhen Mi mentioned that Cao Cao had been granted the nine gifts after becoming the King of Wei, Ren Hong could not help but glance at their Majesty's face, but saw that Qiao Yan's face was as calm and composed as before, and he did not lose his composure at all because of this sudden news.
That’s right, Cao Cao was capable in another world, but that is also a matter of another world.
Just like... when Ren Hong heard Zhen Mi talking about the alienation tactics used by Prime Minister Wang Yun against Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, her first reaction was -
It feels like listening to a storytelling.
If Lu Bu knew about this, he would probably rush directly to Your Majesty and defend himself.
How could anyone make up such rumors about him, a staunchly loyal minister to His Majesty?
When Zhen Mi finished what she was saying, Ren Hong heard His Majesty speak, "You said that you were trapped in the harem, but aren't you very clear about the affairs of the world?"
Zhen Mi was stunned for a moment, she had never expected that these words would come out of the other party's mouth.
But she suddenly realized that she was not like this in her early years.
At the age of nine, she loved reading and even secretly used her brother's pen to learn calligraphy. Her brother said that she should learn to be a housewife instead of becoming a female doctor. At that time, she confidently replied that if she wanted to learn from the experience of her predecessors, she must read.
But what happened later?
Later, everyone thought that the fortune teller Liu Liang's words "This woman is precious beyond words" were because she became the wife of Yuan Xi and Cao Pi successively, and not because she was well-read. Perhaps there was another way for her to be recorded in history.
Qiao Yan looked at the confused woman and said, "You should go with the Grand Historian first. I am still confirming the current situation. Before I find a way to get it back, I can't rashly entrust the affairs of the Shangshutai to you. No matter what happens in the future, it's not a bad thing for you to study there first."
This certainly wouldn't be a bad thing.
The institution of the Grand Historian had been expanding over the past decade or so. In addition to recording current events, it also compiled the Book of the Later Han. Because Ma Lun led a group of female officials to study numerology in the past, there was a tradition of providing this place for women in Chang'an City to "intern and study" here. Therefore, the foreign affairs department here also stores a batch of introductory books, which is the best environment for Zhen Mi to pick up books again and learn about the history of this place.
Even the one who led her to complete the introductory studies was Guo Zhao, Ren Hong's deputy.
She originally thought that she might feel uncomfortable because of this, but unexpectedly, when she was really in it, she only felt that everything was full of dazzling words and pearls, and she couldn't even remember the old stories of that other world.
Just when her studies here were on track, a letter sent from Qinghai County, which was rushed thousands of miles away and sent by carrier pigeon, finally reached Qiao Yan's hands.
"Are you really good at selecting people?"
When the system heard this complaint, it wished that its presence could be reduced even more.
Indeed... this overlap of time and space is very selective.
When this news came back, the three aliens in Luoyang City had already been found by Qiao Yan.
One Guo Jia, one Zhuge Liang, and one Zhen Mi.
These three people are all important subordinates to Qiao Yan, but the first two are still trying to cover up the fact that they have changed their minds.
After Qiao Ting initiated surveillance on these two people, reports came in every day about these two smart guys' suicidal attempts to restore order.
If there wasn't someone backing me up, there's no telling what could have happened.
When Qiao Yan thought that Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang in this world could see what they were doing in the other world but were unable to resist or take any action to seize the power, he wanted to sigh even more.
Now Cai Zhaoji and Cao Cao have to be added to the mix. What the hell is going on!
Fortunately, the letter sent by Jiang Tang mentioned that Cai Zhaoji had continued to perform the duties of the diplomatic mission under her persuasion, and with her by her side, nothing should go wrong. Cao Cao was temporarily suspending his military action at this time, and she had also sent people to stay in the military camp to observe whether there were any unusual movements. If there were any special circumstances, she would immediately send someone to inform His Majesty.
"What Cao Zixiu did was really not very smart." Qiao Yan commented again.
As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang could not have been unaware of his father. The war in Tibet and Zhao Ji's diplomatic mission coincided with the time, which should have given him more opportunities to discover Cao Cao's abnormality. However, it was really disappointing that the letter sent to her was written by Jiang Tang.
Regardless of whether that was Cao Cao from another world, and regardless of whether he wanted to use his own abilities to exchange the two people back, he should not have made such a choice in order to maintain the stability of the border!
Officials, especially those in charge, are most wary of this kind of favoritism!
But how to deal with it, let’s wait until this matter is over before we decide.
Thinking that these people would only stay here for a month, and there were only about twenty days left, Qiao Yan thought for a while and issued two instructions.
One was to order Cai Zhaoji and Cao Cao to return to Chang'an immediately after the Tang Mao incident was completed, and she would meet them in the secondary capital.
Another idea was that since Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do anyway, they might as well give a class to the students who were about to take the imperial examinations.
According to what she said when she discussed this matter with Xi Zhicai -
In this case, do the people who prepare the lessons gain more, or do the people who teach the lessons gain more?
It was probably these two guys who were busy looking up information and cramming for an exam.
However, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they received the news.
After a long silence, Guo Jia asked, "Do you think His Majesty the Great Yong has seen through us?"
The author has something to say:
Well, these are the last five.
Sun Quan, don't let him come over (dog head)
See you at nine o'clock in the evening. If you're not there at nine o'clock, come 15 minutes later, as the kids will also be shopping on Double Eleven.
I spent more than a thousand dollars on books yesterday, which was enough. I still have to buy cat food and cosmetics today and tomorrow.
