It can be said that if Vesutiva I was not really capable and able to suppress the current complicated domestic situation in Kushan, the mere confrontation between the two world-breaking masters in the court would have been enough to prevent the emperor from stepping down.
In the end, both the south and the north took a step back, preventing the conflict from reaching an irreversible level. However, just such a scene made Vesutiva I understand that the current Kushan was like a barrel of dynamite. Even if he suppressed it, it would not be far from exploding.
.
Therefore, after much thought, Vesutiva I finally chose to raise a target right now. On the one hand, it gave confidence to the newly formed ally Rome, and on the other hand, it also diverted conflicts externally. Kushan must have a target in this current situation.
.
In this case, Vesutiva I raised a target in front of Chen Zhong titled "The Han Empire seized the Kushan envoy seeking to marry the princess."
The Kushan side doesn't know what's going on with the Han Dynasty, but Chen Zhong and others know very well that the Han Dynasty really doesn't have a princess, but even if there is one, it's impossible to marry outside, so it doesn't matter that the other party is shameless.
Vesudeva I said that he hoped to resolve this matter "peacefully" and to see if there was anything in the country that could be brought to the fore, but he basically couldn't go on and went straight to the boil.
In the country of Kushan, the matter of marrying a Han princess has almost become a historical issue. Just like when the Han Dynasty mentioned that the Huns went south to herd horses, everyone would say that they would kill the Huns!
If Vesudev I had said anything else, it might have been difficult to divert the attention of the north and the south, but the reaction of the upper castes in the south might not be that exaggerated about marrying the princess, but after the northern nobles listened, all other issues could be postponed.
Even big nobles like Fulward, who had a fight with the Xiliang cavalry and knew that the Han Empire was really not to be trifled with, were determined to try again after hearing the news. It is needless to say what the other northern nobles are like now.
Gacholi, a commander who came from the Yuezhi royal family, directly stated that if Vesutiva I wanted to marry a Han princess, whether it was to marry the princess with force or to marry the princess with the ceremony, the Yuezhi royal family would consider it because they were from the same family.
For your sake, the Rangers here will send out two legions to support you.
Balak, the great nobleman stationed in the northern border county, said directly, Your Majesty, if you are really ready to marry a Han princess by force, I have nothing to say here. The Bactrian Guards Infantry and an integrated regiment will support you, even if you let
It's okay for us to take the lead as a vanguard.
It can be said that after Vesudev I spoke, the previous tense situation was instantly relieved. The upper castes in the south were defeated, and the nobles in the north were simply outraged. It feels like the northern nobles have united so much in the past hundred years.
It feels incredible.
Asha Cheng and the two people who claimed to be members of the Da Yuezhi royal family but were actually Xun You's brother Xun Qi who were mixed in the court were now dumbfounded.
The Chen family and the Xun family are the only two guys who get along best now. They both have noble status. Needless to say, Ashayana, the archbishop of the Zoroastrian sect who mediated the Civil War, even if Ashayana said
If you don’t want to attend the meeting, you will be invited out of respect.
What's more, how could Ashacheng, who was disguised as Chen Zhong of the old Chen family, not want to attend the meeting? However, due to identity issues, Ashacheng had been sitting there with his eyes closed since he arrived, pretending not to pay attention to anything. In fact, he was attending the meeting.
This guy remembers every word said in class clearly.
As for the Xun family, after all, they were pretending to be the Yuezhi royal family, and there were no problems after several judgments. Gacholi followed his own family's ideas and brought the Xun family member to the meeting as a help.
Make your own plans.
However, the two people who came in to listen were originally just going to watch the excitement. However, in addition to the tense situation at the beginning and almost causing a good show, they inexplicably turned around when Vesutiva I was preparing to marry a Han Dynasty princess. The Xun family and the Chen family
Suddenly, I discovered that the style of painting in the Kushan court was wrong.
If it was still in the style of civil war at the beginning, after Vesuthiva I expressed his intention to marry a Han princess, then the Kushan court felt like it was going to explode in the eyes of these two guys, and even appeared.
A feeling of unity.
The conflict between the North and the South has become a thing of the past when faced with these words of Vesuthiva I. The whole audience was furious. Some people even knelt on the ground and expressed their willingness to be the pioneers to avenge their shame. The two members of the Xun family and the Chen family
He said he couldn't understand at all what was going on.
However, seeing the current situation in the court, both the Xun family and the Chen family knew very well that they should never ask questions that were obvious to everyone at first glance, otherwise the clues would be exposed in an instant, so they could only observe secretly, but in any case it seemed that
Neither is a good thing.
After all, the domestic situation in Kushan, which had been tense before, was revealed in an instant after Vesutiva I spoke. It was as if the domestic problems in Kushan were suddenly suppressed, and the previous signs of division were also directly cut off.
Chen Zhong thought to himself that the seeds he had planted before had some effect in this exciting situation, but probably not. This group of people seemed to be more interested in marrying a Han princess than in civil war. What does this mean? North and South
Coexistence depends on the princess of the Han Dynasty?
However, the reality is so overwhelming that there is no way to do it. I know that the reason is unknown now, so it is best not to do anything and quietly listen to what Kushan is planning to do. As for the other things, I put them aside for the opportunity to eavesdrop.
Kushan's strategic layout is also a good opportunity for the Han Empire to deal with Kushan. As for now, just look at the nose and the nose and pretend not to be interested.
With this idea, Chen Zhong, who was pretending to be the Archbishop of Zoroastrian, was sitting there pretending to be a dead person with his eyes closed. Vesudeva I glanced at Ashayan who was pretending to be a dead person and did not interrupt at all.
Very satisfied.
No emperor would like a pope who has huge influence to speak out on major national events. Even if the pope's thoughts, opinions, and pace are the same as his majesty, the emperor will not like it.
Ashayana was so knowledgeable that he obviously didn't even want to attend the court meeting. He was summoned and just sat there silently reciting scriptures, like a dead person who couldn't hear what was going on outside the window. Vesudeva I was deeply satisfied. Religion
Ah, we need to know what’s interesting!
I praised Ashayana's behavior in my heart, while thinking about the archbishop of that year. Compared with Archbishop Zoroaster of the previous generation, Ashayana was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
In fact, Chen Zhong said that he just kept silent because he did not understand the current situation in the Kushan court. In the spirit of saying less and making fewer mistakes, he just kept silent. Since he was an archbishop with no real power in the political world, he pretended to be a sedan chair and was carried by others.
Just to save face.
As for the Xun family, they had figured out the routine at this time, although they felt inexplicably weird about what they had pieced together from other people's words.
But it makes sense logically. After all, the two parties were of different sizes at the beginning. For the Han Dynasty, it was just a few things in the history books, but for the Yuezhi who had just emerged, it must have required a big book.
It's a book thing.
After tentatively chatting for a few words and confirming the correctness of his guess, Xun Qi, whose pseudonym was Ahemai, had a rough estimate in his mind. Judging from this situation, the princess of the Han Empire had already become a knot in the heart of the Da Yueshi.
.
Looking at the passionate situation of this group of people, Xun Ruo knew that the Kushan Emperor must not be allowed to marry a Han Dynasty princess. If he did, with the courage of the emperor sitting above, the Kushan Emperor would probably be cast.
Become a piece of iron.
Although both Xun Qi and Chen Zhong looked down upon Kushan's social system, they both admitted that the country's potential was beyond imagination. The grain-producing land in the Ganges River Basin was enough to support the country for two years in just one season.
Population of 30 million.
In fact, according to what Chen Zhong and Xun Qi now know, rice can be harvested three times a year in the Ganges Plain, and each time the yield is enough to feed tens of millions of people.
This is because Kushan's farming technology is so bad. If there were deep farming technology like that in the Central Plains, the food that could be produced in the Ganges Plain in one season could be doubled.
With such advantages, even if Kushan has various internal problems, its huge human resource advantages are enough to allow them to stand firmly at the imperial level.
Under such circumstances, if the internal conflicts in the country are eliminated by the Kushan Emperor, then even if the Han Empire wants to go on an expedition to defeat the Kushan, it will not be easy. This country has too many geographical advantages. The Han Empire's conventional attack methods
They all seemed too difficult.
To put it simply, the Ganges Plain, the grain-producing area of the Kushan Empire, is completely separated by the Himalayas. It is impossible for the Han army to directly penetrate it. If they go around, the goal is clear and it will be too easy to block it!
According to various information that Chen Zhong and others have reviewed, the northern part of Kushan is extremely rich in various resources and minerals, while the southern part has extremely fertile alluvial plains.
Relying on the identity of the Yueshi royal family, Xun Qi has obtained a large amount of undisclosed information so far. Looking at the entries above, Xun Qi just wants to say one thing, under such good circumstances, he is really convinced that Guishang has become like this.
.
It can be said that what Kushan now needs is no longer superficial things such as money and food resources. This country has not lacked these things since its birth. The high-grade copper ore, iron ore, gold ore and other rich minerals that the Central Plains have always coveted are in Kushan.
It is not rare in our country.
There is only one thing that the country of Kushan lacks so far, and that is a super ruthless man like Qin Shihuang who unified the country by force and left only one culture and one system.
As for Vesuthiva I, in the eyes of Chen Zhong and others, although he was good, his temperament was still far behind. Even though he was also called a tyrant, he directly crushed the ancient social system and forcibly suppressed the Xia like the First Emperor.
As one, this kind of thing is still completely impossible to do!
