Chapter 360: Bowanghou

"Oh?"
It was the first time Jian Ruocheng heard this. He thought about it and said, "You seemed to mention that you know her father before."
Jian Tongguang said: "I just know, but I don't know."
"Her father is—"
"Her father, Si Zhongwen, was the Hongyu Temple Qing from the Gao Emperor's dynasty."
"Oh!"
Jian Ruocheng's eyes widened slightly-so to speak, Nan Yan can be regarded as a lady of the official family, and Hongyousiqing is an official of the fourth grade. He is in charge of tribute, banquets, gifts, greetings and other things, and power not small.
Especially when there are so many neighboring countries around Yan Country.
But he changed his mind--
"Hongyousiqing from the Gao Emperor's dynasty? Then he now—"
"Long passed away."
"Oh……"
Jian Tongguang sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Nan Yan lost her father when she was very young."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng's brows couldn't help but frowned.
He remembered that Nan Yan seemed to have mentioned this before.
When he was in Shang Baosi, he once asked Nan Yan if he wanted to go home, and Nan Yan told him that she didn't want to go home because the people in the family treated her badly.
Her aunt would even marry her to a man in his fifties as a concubine.
It seems that her life is really hard.
He frowned and thought for a while, and said: "So, after her father passed away, no one in her family rejoined the officialdom?"
"It looks like this," Jian Tongguang said, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity."
"What a pity? What a pity?"
"It's a pity that the Si family brothers were famous in those days, but now their children and grandchildren can't even get out of the country."
"Brother Sijia? Does Nanyan's father still have brothers?"
Jian Tongguang said: "Speaking of that person, he is very famous-of course, you children don't know."
Jian Ruocheng said: "Father tell me."
Only then did Jian Tongguang say: "The boss of the Si family, that is, the uncle of Nanyan, is named Si Boyan. He has not been an official or made any meritorious service, but he was named Bowanghou by Emperor Gao."
"Bo Wanghou?"
Jian Ruocheng was surprised when he heard this name.
This name is certainly not unfamiliar to him, because anyone who has read history books knows that the first person who traveled to the Western Regions and walked out of the Silk Road, which has been in history for thousands of years, was named Bowanghou by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After that, no one was named Bowanghou.
The word Bowang represents the determination and courage of a nation to explore the world without fear of difficulties and dangers.
Jian Ruocheng said softly: "Sinanyan's uncle is Bo Wanghou of Emperor Gao Feng? What did he do?"
Jian Tongguang said: "You also know that before the founding of Emperor Gao, our country was invaded by Yan Kingdom. They not only invaded large tracts of land in the Central Plains, but also blocked the passage to the northwest. The Silk Road was caused by them. Cut off."
"Could it be that Bo Wanghou has re-walked the Silk Road?"
"Yes," Jian Tongguang nodded and said: "And during the war, he re-walked the Silk Road and established contacts with some small countries in the Western Regions. At that time, Si Zhongwen was also with his brother. Because The reason for the two brothers was that the small countries sent troops to help each other, and the Emperor Gao finally drove the soldiers and horses of the Kuo Kingdom out of the Central Plains."
"...!"
Jian Ruocheng was stunned.
He didn't expect that a person could play such a big role.
He thought for a while and asked, "Then, what about Bowanghou?"
Jian Tongguang glanced at him and said, "It's gone."
