Two hundred and eighty-ninth chapter Liu Qi godson
When Liu Che was proud of the spring breeze.
In the inner hall of Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Liu Qi looked at a man standing in front of him with a complicated expression.
Although he wanted the other party to die in his heart, the emperor Liu Qi had to suppress his inner anger, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked softly: "Your envoy has come all the way, how is your lord Shanyu?"
good?"
"To the emperor, everything is well with my lord!" the man replied with a slight bow.
After saying that, the man knelt down, presented the certificate of credence and the gift list, and said: "My lord heard that the emperor has appointed a crown prince, so he ordered his ministers to come to congratulate the emperor and send him a gift, two horses and a hunting eagle!" This man is a man!
He spoke extremely fluently and was very proficient in the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. As he spoke, he raised his head and said: "In addition, my lord ordered me to come here to reiterate to the emperor that the alliance between Han and Hungary remains the same, and everything is in accordance with the old order of our country.
In the covenant made with Emperor Xiaowen of your country: North of the Great Wall, the country that leads the bow, is governed by the Shanyu; within the Great Wall, in the crown and belt room, is governed by the Emperor of Han, and the two countries, Han and Hungary, will cease war forever and live happily ever after.
!”
When the emperor Liu Qi listened, he sneered in his heart and felt extremely disgusted.
For every emperor of the Han Dynasty, when he was the prince, his father would take special time to instill and convey to the prince the past history of the Han Dynasty and the belief that he must avenge his shame.
The time for this education is usually when the Huns envoys arrive.
Because every time the Huns came to envoy, they would arouse the anger of the Han emperor.
Emperor Liu Qi is no exception!
Liu Qi still remembers that seven years ago, in the second year of the late Emperor's reign, the Xiongnu envoys came, and the two countries reaffirmed their brotherly alliance and made peace.
At that time, the late emperor summoned him to the palace that night, told him all the humiliations, and made him swear an oath that he would never forget it!
Now, it's his turn to educate his prince.
With these thoughts in mind, Emperor Liu Qi stood up, smiled at the envoy and said: "Greetings to your lord for me. I would like to convey my thoughts. Han and Hungary have been friends from generation to generation. I feel very satisfied with Shan Yu's proposal to end the war forever."
It’s appropriate and in line with the interests of both Han and Hungary!”
He took two steps and then said: "Since the Shan is here to congratulate me on the appointment of the crown prince, how about I call the prince here and talk to your envoy?"
"I would like to follow the emperor's advice!" the messenger bowed.
…………………………
Under the recommendation of Wang Feng, Liu Che met with several kings or representatives of small countries.
These small countries may have a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, while the smaller ones may only be considered a tribe.
However, these countries are the majority of countries that have been included in the Han Dynasty's tribute system so far.
It was the face of the imperial court, so Liu Che also received these princes or monarchs from different places very cordially.
At this time, a eunuch came over and saluted Liu Che: "Prince, Your Majesty, please go to the inner hall to see me!"
When Liu Che heard this, he quickly turned to the princes from various countries who were trying to get close to him. The monarch held his hands and said, "My lords, please wait a moment. I'll come back as soon as I go!"
So, under the guidance of the eunuch, Liu Che headed towards the inner hall.
"Dare you ask Ming Gong?" Liu Che asked in a low voice on the road.
The eunuch smiled slightly, bowed reservedly and replied: "I dare not let my humble name enter the ears of the prince. I am a slave to you!"
Liu Che nodded. He could tell that the eunuch was deliberately avoiding his approach and intimacy.
Liu Che knew very well that since Zhang De disappeared, most of the eunuchs in the court had begun to keep a certain distance from Liu Che.
However, Liu Che shrugged his shoulders, it doesn’t matter!
There are so many eunuchs in the inner court, and there are dozens of people serving my father.
If Zhang San is not willing, Li Si will always agree.
There are no airtight walls in this world. What's more, as Liu Che's time on the throne increases, in another two years, it is estimated that he will not need to deliberately reveal it, and there will be many eunuchs crying and shouting to hug his thigh.
.
Therefore, Liu Che didn't mind at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Chen! May I ask Mr. Chen why your father called me here?"
The eunuch smiled slightly, thought for a while, and felt that the prince would definitely know about this anyway, so it would be better to sell it as a favor!
So, he lowered his head and said: "The Huns envoy is here, and His Majesty is receiving him..."
"Oh..." Liu Che nodded.
To be honest, Liu Che had rarely seen authentic Huns even in his previous life.
I am quite interested in this nation that became famous in later generations and even earned the title of the ‘Scourge of God’ in Europe.
Although later Tai Shigong forcibly assigned the Huns a Chinese Miao origin.
But to be honest, Liu Che didn't quite believe it.
Perhaps, it is possible that some of the Huns have ancestry from China.
However, history tells Liu Che that all ethnic groups are mixed ethnic groups.
In the process of chasing water and grass for grazing, they may intermarry with all the ethnic groups along the way.
Therefore, even if the Huns were really descendants of the Xia Dynasty at first, after thousands of years, it is estimated that less than one out of ten Xia Dynasty blood lines are left in the blood genes of the Huns.
What's more, according to the concept that when the Chinese invade the barbarians and the barbarians, the barbarians and the barbarians will follow.
Even if the Huns are really descendants of Chinese blood.
But he doesn’t use Chinese characters, systems and etiquette, and being issued a left-hand collar means he is automatically expelled from China!
For such people who have forgotten their ancestors and treat them as Chinese, they are undoubtedly making themselves unhappy, and it is just like kneeling down and doing second best.
With this thought, Liu Che had already walked into the inner hall.
Looking up, the emperor's father was standing in the palace talking to a man with his hair down and braided into small braids.
Liu Che took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "My son Liu Che pays homage to my father!"
"Prince, get up quickly..." Emperor Liu Qi said with a smile and waved his hand.
When Liu Che stood up, he walked over, took Liu Che's hand and introduced the man standing in front of him: "Your Majesty, this is my prince!"
"Prince, this is the Korean drama Envoy of the Huns!"
Liu Che raised his head and met the man's eyes. A suspicious look flashed in his eyes.
In Liu Che's surprised eyes, the man politely paid homage to Han Dynasty etiquette and said: "The envoy of the Huns, the Shanyu is in charge, and I am here to pay homage to the crown prince of the Han Dynasty!"
This man was about thirty years old. His hair was spread over his shoulders and braided into small braids. The hairstyle looked a bit like the braids of the Avatars that Liu Che had seen in the cinema.
Apart from that, his clothes are left in the left-hand pattern as usual, which is the standard Yi Di dress.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that this person’s appearance is that of a pure Chinese!
"Korean drama?" Liu Che thought for a moment and instantly understood what this person was like.
Back then, in the early Han Dynasty, there were two Han Xin.
One is the military god Han Xin who believed that the more troops the better.
The other one is Liu Bang's Ma Zai.
The two have the same name and surname, so many people confuse them.
However, the King of Chu, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, used his troops like a god.
The other Han Xin is a model of repeated defeats and battles, and is also the idol of Lu Bu in later generations. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Bu's so-called title of three-surname domestic slave is simply weak compared to this Han Xin!
This Han Xin is a descendant of the Korean royal family during the Warring States Period. During the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the aristocrats of the six countries experienced a temporary resurgence. Later generations of various countries were re-established as kings by Xiang Liang. Because the direct line of the Korean royal family was cut off, so in desperation, Xiang Liang
He found a man named Han Cheng to be the King of Han.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Xiang Liang died in Dingtao not long after.
Han Cheng defected to King Huai of Chu and died soon after.
So the Korean royal family cut off its bloodline.
When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, both Xiang Yu and Liu Bang established a new king of Han.
What Liu Bang established was Han Xin!
Later, this Han Wangxin gave full play to his characteristics of being a wallflower, and he fell to the strong side.
During the Battle of Xingyang, he surrendered to Xiang Yu, but could not get any favors from Xiang Yu, so he ran back to the Han army. Liu Bang, out of political need to attack Han, re-established him as King of Han and ordered him to lead the army to attack Han.
Zheng Chang, King of Han, attacked Xiang Yu.
After the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang once again transferred Han Wangxin to Dai, the capital of Mayi, out of political considerations. Well, it was the place where the Mayi conspiracy took place.
Then, the Huns came, and as expected, Han Xin surrendered to the Huns...
He also served as the leader of the Xiongnu, leading his troops to pioneer the attack on the Han Dynasty.
When Liu Bang heard the news, he went to the army in person and was surrounded on Baishan Mountain...
The story should end here, right?
No, no, not at all.
Later, Han Xin, like the Chu King Han Xin, embarked on the road of seeking death, constantly provoking the Han Dynasty, sowing discord, and inducing Chen Fen to betray. Finally, the unbearable Liu Bang sent troops to surround Shenhe City. Shenhe City was destroyed, and Han Xin committed suicide.
.
However, Han Xin's group of people left behind by the Xiongnu continued to multiply.
Many people could not stand the life of the Xiongnu, nor could they tolerate the rough treatment of the Xiongnu. In addition, the Han Dynasty, starting from Emperor Taizong, continued to increase its political offensive to persuade those who had fled to return.
Therefore, in the past ten years, countless guilty ministers and criminal ministers who had fled to the Huns due to wars or rebellions later returned to the Han Dynasty.
Among them are the descendants of Han Xin.
For example, now, one of the generals in charge of the training of the Han Dynasty’s cavalry troops, Gong Gaohou Han Daidang, is Han Xin’s youngest son!
However, there are those who regress, and naturally there are those who suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
Liu Che looked at the man standing in front of him, who openly and honestly claimed to be a Huns, and even changed his name and lived there.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
This is like someone from later generations who changed his name to Masao Iwasato and called himself an imperial citizen. What can you do to him?
Call him a traitor?
Totally useless!
Maybe he just enjoys being a traitor!
The only way to repay such a person is to march out with all your troops, cross the Great Wall, and trample the Huns with their horses!
Of course, we cannot completely think that the fugitives and desperadoes of the Han Dynasty who are now staying in the Xiongnu are traitors. Many of these people have the Han Dynasty and their ancestors in their hearts. Over the years, the Han Dynasty has continuously gained energy.
The intelligence and clues from the Xiongnu, and even the news that Yuan Ang was able to obtain the internal strife of the Xiongnu before, these people played an important role.
However, Liu Che knew very well that the person in front of him definitely did not belong to the kind of person who was "in Cao's camp but in Han's heart".
The reason is very simple.
He has changed his name and settled in.
Qieju is the surname of a Hun noble, who has held the position of the Huns' chief householder for generations. To put it bluntly, it is almost impossible for a Han Chinese to get a surname like Qieju without great achievements!
In other words, this man is the kind of person who wholeheartedly wants to be a Huns and succeeds.
Liu Che has seen many such people in later generations!
Therefore, Liu Che knew very well that these people who had long forgotten their ancestors and country were no longer compatriots or kin.
Even if you treat him as a compatriot, others may think you are insulting him!
Therefore, the ancestors have already spoken very clearly and carefully.
When the Huaxia invades the Yi Di, the Yi Di will conquer them. When the Yi Di invade the Hua Xia, the Hua Xia will conquer them.
The Huaxia here does not refer to China in the narrow sense.
But cultural China.
To put it simply, people who identify with Chinese culture and are proud of China's strength and power, even Uncle Black, can be considered Chinese. On the other hand, people who look exactly like Chinese people, but want to be emperors and Huns.
, for the Midi people, I can only hehe.
Thinking this, Liu Che looked at the man in front of him normally.
It's like looking at those banana people in later generations.
It’s not like Liu Che has never seen a banana man before!
"Thank you for your hard work, your distinguished envoy has come from afar!" Liu Che stepped forward with a smile.
It is true that the Han and Huns had been enemies for decades and fought countless battles.
However, the relationship between Han and Hungary at this time was very strange. In the following two thousand years of history, there was almost no such relationship between Han and Hungary.
If I have to describe it, the relationship between Han and Hungary at this time was similar to that between the Celestial Dynasty and the Mi Emperor in later generations.
The two giants didn't like each other very much.
However, due to various reasons, each took a step back and each had their own concerns.
As the two largest hunks in the known world.
The Huns knew that it would be difficult for them to defeat the Han Dynasty. Especially in the past ten years, the Han Dynasty's armaments have become more and more complete and the cavalry troops have begun to take shape. It is almost impossible to repeat the Baishan Mountain.
The Han Dynasty also knew very well that its own strength was sufficient for defense but not enough for counterattack.
With the few cavalry now, relying on the strong city fortress, fighting on the inside, and with the cooperation of the infantry, they can still have contact with the Huns.
But once you get to the grassland, you will be blind.
Therefore, under this mutual care and fear, the Han and Hungarians actually maintained peace and stability for more than ten years in the future.
The two countries did not commit any crimes at all and each played his own way. It was not until the Mayi Conspiracy that this situation was broken.
Therefore, in reality, the exchanges between Han and Hungary were far beyond the imagination of later generations.
From what Liu Che heard in his previous life, at least the two countries maintained sending envoys to each other every year to express greetings and maintain a certain degree of economic and trade exchanges.
At one time, the Huns even exported a large number of slaves to the Han Dynasty.
What the Huns did not expect was that the slaves they exported eventually became the gravediggers of the Huns Empire.
Most of the slaves sold to the Han Dynasty were prisoners of war from Yuezhi, Donghu and other tribes and countries that were defeated by the Xiongnu.
Although these people have no culture, they are better than knowing the Huns' topography and landforms, knowing where to find water sources, where there are mountains, and where there are rivers.
Later, Xiaozhu's first army was basically guided by these people.
Otherwise, if the army leaves the fortress but cannot figure out its direction, wouldn't there be endless incidents of getting lost and losing its target?
"Thank you very much, Prince of the Han Dynasty. It's not hard for me to work for my lord!" Han Drama stood up and said with an expressionless face.
"Envoy Han is indeed loyal!" Liu Che smiled and nodded.
His words were quite comforting to the ears of the Korean drama, and the Korean drama didn't even know that Liu Che was mocking him.
The reason is very simple. There is no authentic nationalism at this time, let alone any national recognition.
As the saying goes, those who learn civil and military skills will have the same wealth as the emperor.
For a few hundred years, a person like him who served Shan Yu would be as normal as Lord Shang serving Qin and Wu Qi assisting King Chu.
Therefore, from the perspective of Korean dramas, working for the emperor of the Han Dynasty is selling one's life, and working for the Shanyu of the Xiongnu is also selling one's life. There is essentially no difference!
Therefore, he was confident and held his head high, like a proud rooster, as if to say: If I can be appreciated by the Huns, it is because I have ability!
Liu Che shook his head slightly in his heart, feeling that his performance was completely useless, just like Don Quixote, pointing at the windmill and talking about the devil, but the windmill had no idea what the devil was...
The emperor Liu Qi waved his hand and said kindly: "Your envoy has come from afar. You are tired from the journey, so please go down and rest first..."
So, two eunuchs came over and asked Han Drama to go down and rest.
All etiquette and specifications are normal, just like when the Huns envoys came to Chang'an in the past few decades.
Wait for the Korean drama to go on.
Emperor Liu Qi's face instantly turned pale, and his brows were filled with anger.
"Shuzi!" Emperor Liu Qi smashed his fist angrily.
He turned around, looked at Liu Che, and said, "The prince has seen it, right?"
Liu Che nodded.
The emperor Liu Qi took a step forward. He walked to Liu Che and said to Liu Che: "Prince, kneel down!"
Liu Che knelt down obediently after hearing this. He paused and said, "Father, please give me instructions!"
"Prince, it was here seven years ago that the late emperor gave me instructions. I will instruct the prince again today. Prince, remember it!" Emperor Liu Qi said slowly.
"Promise, please remember this!" Liu Che bowed again.
"Seven years ago, I said to you first: Boy Qi, don't forget today! One day, I will raise my troops and go north, and I will be ashamed of myself. I will revive Yan, Dai, Shanggu, Yanmen, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, civilians and loyal ministers will die!" Emperor Liu
Qi looked at Liu Che and said, "Prince, you know that the hands of the Huns are stained with the blood of my Han people!"
Liu Che felt that his father's emotions were more exciting and high-pitched than ever before. At this moment, he was not like the calm and tolerant emperor in the past, but similar to an angry young man, with his face flushed and his fists clenched.
I could only hear his excited words: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizu was trapped in Baishan Mountain. He had no choice but to bribe a woman and endured the humiliation. Only then did he escape from Baishan Mountain. This shame will be felt by the descendants of my Liu family for generations to come.
Don’t forget!”
"It is the duty of the Son of Man to avenge the emperor!"
He looked at Liu Che and continued: "After Baishan Mountain, the Xiongnu ravaged the Yan Dynasty for more than ten years. During this period, countless people died at the hands of Xiongnu bandits, and countless common people suffered from the pain of separation. When the late emperor was here,
I have also witnessed with my own eyes that the people of my country suffered greatly from the Xiongnu, and thousands of people died in a few years!!"
"This hatred will last forever!" Emperor Liu Qi said bitterly: "Prince, you must remember, remember that in your bones and in your soul, the hatred between the country and the family, one day, must not be forgotten!"
Liu Che's blood boiled when he heard this, and he paused and said: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
The hatred between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty was indeed irreconcilable.
War is the inevitable and only option.
Even if we don’t talk about the humiliation of Baishan Mountain siege, let’s not talk about the humiliation Empress Lu suffered.
Just say one thing.
In the past fifty-three years, the Huns have continued to invade and invade the border areas.
Countless people were killed and plundered, and countless villages and cities were burned down.
This hatred was not only engraved into the bone marrow of the Liu family, but also deeply engraved into the bone marrow of the people in the border counties.
The war against the Huns and the repayment of blood debts from the Huns is the consensus of almost the entire Northern Territory, especially in Daishang. The people in those counties hardly need to mobilize to fight against the Huns and can prepare their own dry food!
The conflict and hatred between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty was like that between the Celestial Dynasty and Neon in later generations.
If nothing else happens, sooner or later one will have to fight to the death!
Think about it, the neon people of later generations only invaded China for eight years, even if it is counted as September 18th, it only lasted more than ten years.
However, the Huns invaded the Han Dynasty for fifty-three years, especially in the ten years when the Han Dynasty was first established. The entire Yanmen line in the previous generation was almost the back garden of the Huns.
Even last autumn, the Huns marched straight in. The vanguard arrived near Ganquan, and the beacon fire was clearly visible in Chang'an.
This is like a team of aliens in later generations fighting at Shanhaiguan and tanks driving into Badaling. Anyone with a bit of blood knows that there is no other choice but war!
After the excitement, Emperor Liu Qi gradually calmed down.
He sighed long and long: "It's not that I haven't thought about leaving everything behind, raising my troops to go north, and going out to fight the Xiongnu. However, soldiers must not march without teaching, and the Lord must not raise troops out of anger. Soldiers are important national affairs, and the place of life and death
, especially the Xiongnu, who are not completely sure and cannot start a war easily, otherwise if another Baishan Mountain comes out, our Han Dynasty will be doomed!"
"So, the late emperor tried to compromise, and made false sacrifices with the Xiongnu, and used the plan of peace to postpone the war!" Emperor Liu Qi looked at Liu Che and said affectionately: "I am the same, using women's wealth and silk to bribe the Yi Di chiefs, the three emperors and the five emperors, above the nine heavens, must have caused
I am ashamed, but..."
The emperor Liu Qi looked at Liu Che and suddenly raised his voice: "I am the emperor, and it is only up to me to control chaos in the world. I cannot ignore the common people in the world just because of my temporary joy and anger!"
"My shame, my grievance, the shame of Emperor Gao, the grievance of Emperor Gao, the shame of the late emperor, the hatred of the late emperor, Prince, have you seen it?" Emperor Liu Qi raised his head and roared: "In the past, the Qin Dynasty spent seven generations.
Lie, finally wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world. Now, Prince, what you see is the shame and hatred of the fourth generation of emperors of my Han family. You must remember, you must remember! Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"
When Liu Che heard this, he kowtowed excitedly and said: "My son, Liu Che, knows it and remembers it. In the past, Duke Xiang restored the revenge of the ninth generation. The spring and Autumn period was great. My son swears that as long as he has one breath left, he will never forget these humiliations and hatred!"
Who can forget such shame and hatred?
Maodun Shanyu's soldiers surrounded Baishan Mountain, and the great ancestor Liu Bang had to run back to Chang'an in despair with his tail between his legs.
Mao Dun sent a letter to Empress Lu, using extremely insulting words.
Above the Xiongnu's national certificate, it begins with the extremely arrogant words "Born from heaven and earth, placed by the sun and moon, the Xiongnu Great Chanyu".
During the reign of Mao Dun, the entire northern land almost became the back garden of the Xiongnu. At one time, even the Han Dynasty in Henan and Hebei could not be preserved.
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people wailed under the hooves of the Xiongnu horses for more than ten years.
It was not until the thirteenth year of the late emperor's reign that the Han Dynasty reluctantly established a defense system, and then struggled with the Huns for several years, resulting in numerous casualties. In addition, they fed the Xiongnu Chanyu with wealthy women, and in exchange the Huns promised not to invade the Han Dynasty again.
Only a piece of paper is certain.
But before the ink on the treaty was dry, the Huns invaded again.
It didn't stop for a few years until the old man died.
Last year the invaders came again. This time, one captain, three commanders, and thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed.
Who can forget such shame and hatred? Who will forget it? (To be continued...)
ps: Well, it’s true~
Blacksmith need its own hardware.
If you are not strong enough, you are destined to be bullied.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns were n times more arrogant than the current Mi Emperor. Especially in the years after the siege of Baishan Mountain, the entire northern part of the country, including Daiguo, Shangjun, and Yanmen in the valley, had almost no defensive power. The Huns could come whenever they wanted.
Come and leave whenever you want.
It was not until the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty that the defense forces in these areas began to recover. After Chao Cuo lost grain and donated his title, the entire border system was restored to the state before the end of the Qin Dynasty.
Only then will the defensive force against the Xiongnu have a deterrent effect.
As for the so-called marriage before, it was just a piece of waste paper...
Therefore, in the second year of Emperor Wen's reign, as the balance of strength between the Han and Huns changed, the Han Dynasty and the Huns truly established a peace alliance, and the Huns truly began to abide by the peace agreement.
Otherwise, marriage or anything like that would not be able to restrain the Huns at all!
