The Li dynasty is at its end and the building is about to collapse. There are endless internal and external troubles and collusion.
For Ye Luan, the Minister of Rites, his family and country have a vast territory, but there are two most important places. One is Chang'an and the other is Qiuci.
For Shen Sui, the Grand Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, the Hexi Corridor that connects Guannai and Longyou is a concern that cannot be seen.
Those sincere and brave young people either traveled thousands of miles to return to the temple, or went deep into the Western Regions to defend their territory. They existed as the last hope of the Lee Dynasty before its complete collapse.
I hope that what the officials write will be nothing more than weddings and funerals, ordinary things.
I hope that the territory will be stable and the people will be able to move freely and never close their homes at night.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the oceans and rivers are clear.
Do nothing and the world is at peace.

Many years later, few people mentioned the Western Regions again. Most people only care about things closely related to their own lives. They will care about the harvest of grains or their children's schoolwork, but no one traces the origin of the current peaceful time. I am the only one who will tell students in class about the turbulent years that took place in the four counties of Hexi and Qiuci in the Western Regions.
When news came from the Western Region again, the entire Central Plains was shocked. And I am getting old.
After all, our generation still has not waited for the end of the Anxi Protectorate. But those who come later will read this sentence from the history books:
"It has been a thousand years since the armies of the Central Plains Dynasty set foot on the land of the Western Regions again."
