People did not know that they died in a foreign land for the victory of the court, and they did not know that there were people who changed their route to Lingnan for a crop called sweet potato vine and eventually died in the fire.
They knew that victory was hard-won, and they felt even more sad for the women who lost their lives, whose names were not even mentioned after the victory.
"Chen Wei, you are the only person I cannot see through in my life. I underestimated you before."
In the boudoir.
A woman murmured sadly to the longevity cake in front of her, her eyes moist and her heart full of admiration for Chen Wei and the three thousand women.
It wasn't just this one person who felt guilty and belatedly apologized to Chen Wei.
When the news of Shen Wei's death reached the capital, the vast majority of women from the families of officials and dignitaries were shocked and skeptical at first, but they eventually accepted the reality and came to their senses.
It turns out that Chen Wei's ideological level has always been higher than theirs. They used to look at Chen Wei only from the perspective of love and thought that Chen Wei was an ungrateful woman.
Only now do I realize that Chen Wei has a goal in his mind that is greater than love.
"Chen Wei, you are so smart, how could you die like this?"
"It must be fake."
"I've already found out. It was Young Master Dong who harmed you. It was the Dong family who suggested that you go to the land of the Xiongnu. A few days ago, the Dong family somehow went to slander the prince. The Dong family was exiled, and the entire clan was confiscated."
"If it weren't for you, I would have almost married a husband like this, Chen Wei..."
Miss Lu burst into tears in the room.
She and Chen Wei had already become close friends. When she learned that Chen Wei had died by self-immolation, she was so angry that she wanted to rush to Lingnan immediately and kill those evil villagers.
After learning the news of Chen Wei and Xiaoman's death, Qin Shuyu was stunned for a while, and then she resolutely entered the palace.
She will do the next thing for Chen Wei!
This is what she promised Shen Wei...
Please ask the emperor to fulfill his promise!
At the same time, the prince was reporting the results of the Lingnan incident to the emperor.
The evil villagers were all executed by slow slicing, and all the bandits and bullies along the way to Lingnan were suppressed.
After hearing this, the emperor simply nodded calmly: "Well done."
The prince asked unwillingly. He thought of Chen Wei's almost impossible dream, for which he even paid with his life.
He must ask for Chen Wei and cannot let Chen Wei die with regrets.
"Father, the sweet potatoes have now multiplied in large numbers. It won't be long before the sweet potato vines are distributed to the people of every state."
"The Xiongnu have signed a brotherly pact with our dynasty. While it's not guaranteed to last forever, even if this Great Chanyu returns to the world, the pact cannot be broken."
"Peace and prosperity for all the world. Father, will you fulfill the promise you made to Shen Wei?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, like a thick mist that made it hard to breathe.
The emperor took the teacup slowly and took a sip of tea, then glanced at the prince with a mysterious look.
"There's no rush for this matter. The situation with the Xiongnu is still not stable."
The prince felt ridiculous in his heart.
Sure enough, this matter was too forced.
Gender equality has never existed before, so how can it be achieved?
"The Great Khan of the Xiongnu asked our dynasty to take Zhao Xiangrong as his queen, and presented a thousand Ferghana horses and ten boxes of precious treasures."
"I intend to adopt Zhao Xiangrong as my adopted daughter and name her Princess An Ning, so that she can educate the Xiongnu and learn the etiquette of the Han Dynasty."
As the prince listened to the emperor's words, he remembered what Chen Wei had said to him, and he blurted out what he had said unconsciously.
"The Han ethnic group is the majority, autonomous regions for ethnic minorities, and the "one country, two systems" policy is being promoted."
The emperor's eyebrows moved: "Hmm?"
The Crown Prince suddenly came to his senses and explained, "Reporting to the Emperor, if we want to maintain long-term peace, we need long-term education and integration."
"We can open up trade and marriage with the Xiongnu, and vigorously support commerce on the border..."
The emperor listened quietly to the prince's series of policies towards the Huns. After the prince finished speaking, the emperor suddenly asked a question.
"Which of your staff members came up with these ideas?"
The prince's sad look was fleeting, but it did not escape the emperor's eyes.
"Replying to Father, it is Chen Wei."
