The Turkic Khan attacked the Anxi Protectorate, causing turmoil in the Western Region. The various states complained to the court one after another, and Emperor Gaozong summoned Pei Xingjian again.
I don't know what Pei Xingjian's report was correct. After a while, the emperor suddenly issued an edict, appointing Pei Xingjian as the envoy to appease the emperor, lead the troops to send the Persian prince back to his country, and canonize him as the king of Persia.
Persia and Chang'an are eighteen thousand miles apart!
When this shocking news came out, both the government and the public were discussing it, not knowing what the intention was.
Pei Xingjian turned a deaf ear to these discussions. He personally selected the accompanying Guanzhong soldiers and proposed to Emperor Gaozong that Wang Fangyi, the governor of Suzhou, be his deputy envoy. Wang Fangyi was born as a general, knew the art of war, and was proficient in riding and archery.
Pei Xingjian asked him to stay with the Persian prince and protect him along the way.
