In the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Che held up the seal and stamped the Huns' marriage edict. +
This heralds the formal signing of a new round of peace and affinity treaties between Han and Hungary, and peace is guaranteed by the treaty. According to past practice, the Huns will not violate the peace and affinity treaty for at least four years after the signing of the peace and affinity treaty between Han and Hungary.
This time, Liu Che expected that there would be a stable farming period of at least five or six years.
Naturally, the Xiongnu envoy happily received the text of the peace treaty and congratulated: "The emperor has decided to make peace, Han and Huns will always have good relations, there will never be war between the two countries, and the foreign ministers are waiting for Fuwei to be crowned..."
Liu Che glanced at these happy guys angrily.
For this marriage, Liu Che paid a lot of money and various materials.
The total value of this money and supplies exceeds 50 million yuan!
The wealth equivalent to one percent of the Han Dynasty's annual income went into the pockets of the Huns.
Whoever it was, wouldn’t feel comfortable?
What's more, Liu Che knew in his heart that no matter how much he whitewashed it, dressed it up, or decorated it, he couldn't get rid of this money and this marriage treaty. This marriage and this treaty were essentially an exchange of money with the two Song dynasties.
There is no difference between Liao, Jin and Xixia.
To put it seriously, this is a treaty that betrays the country and humiliates its rights!
It is a treaty in which money and silk are exchanged for peace.
Going a step further, it is not much different from the treaties signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Western powers.
At this moment, Liu Che's heart was filled with a sense of humiliation!
As an emperor, as a son of heaven, as the master of the country and the country, as a time traveler. Regardless of his status, it would be difficult for him to accept such a humiliating treaty.
But reality forced him to accept it.
"Maybe later Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty decided to establish the Weihe River Alliance. That's how I felt!"
Four years after Tang Taizong's Weihe Alliance, the Turks were destroyed and the Turkic Khans were captured.
But Liu Che didn't know how many years he would have to wait to recover from today's humiliation, let alone his dream of capturing a Xiongnu Chanyu and returning him to Chang'an as a mascot.
The Huns left triumphantly, leaving the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers full of grief and anger.
Liu Che raised his head, looked at the retreating figure of the Huns, and said: "The marriage has been decided, and I am sending an order to China and foreign countries. It is not against my will, and no provocation is allowed!"
According to past records, 80% of the wars and disputes between the Han and Huns were basically initiated by the Huns.
But 20% of it was caused by the stupid Qing of the Han Dynasty who could not resist the provocation of the Huns and took the initiative to attack.
Historically, Li Guang was such a fool!
Therefore, every time the Han Dynasty exchanged contracts with their relatives, they would reiterate the order not to initiate provocation.
However, basically everyone from the emperor to the ministers below took this order seriously.
If he can take advantage, the foolish young man who takes the initiative can become a hero in an instant - just like what Li Guang did when he was the governor of Shanggu County in history...
It's just that Liu Che really doesn't want stupid people to ruin his strategy.
Let’s say that Xiaozhu’s hegemonic strategy in history was to first bring down the largest Xiongnu, and then narrow the power of the most powerful country in the world to clean up the small countries in the four directions and expand its territory.
Then Liu Che's strategy is the other way around.
First easy, then difficult, first small, then big.
First, use the surrounding small countries to train their troops to build confidence, interests, and people's enthusiasm for war, and then deal with the Xiongnu.
Just like what the head of state did in World War II, he would build up momentum step by step. When the time is right, he would be able to narrow the power of the army and defy the expectations of the world, defeat or even eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop, and avoid prolonging the war for too long!
Compared with Xiaozhu, Liu Che's strategy requires caution in every step, and victory must be achieved in every attack and expansion!
And it must be the same as the head of state, an easy but brilliant victory!
If there was a failure like Yang Guang's attack on Goryeo, Liu Che would have to be prepared to bow down and step down.
With this in mind, Liu Che added: "Please ask the Prime Minister to prepare a book of commandments and send an order to all the generals and commanders: generals and captains, governors of the country, governors and magistrates, and important ministers of the country. They should follow the law and military discipline as the guideline. There is no amnesty order.
Don’t leave the fortress!”
"No!" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu bowed respectfully.
Making peace is the consensus of the government and the opposition, and it is the general trend.
Even if Zhou Yafu was unwilling to do so, he could only recognize it by pinching his nose.
But he still had doubts. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply said: "Your Majesty wants to marry the Xiongnu. I am stupid and don't understand your Majesty's difficulties. It's just... I thought that marrying a Xiongnu princess rashly might give the Xiongnu an opportunity."
It is of no use to the country to peek into the reality of our Han family!"
This concern of Zhou Yafu is also the most mainstream concern of both the government and the opposition.
Many ministers nodded in agreement.
Everyone felt that marrying a clan girl to a Xiongnu Chanyu was a bit humiliating, but at least it was still acceptable.
But if you marry a Xiongnu princess, what should you do if this princess uses the power of the Xiongnu to interfere with the government, control power, and betray the interests of the Han Dynasty?
Liu Che smiled slightly when he heard this.
It has always been said that a married daughter is the water thrown out!
As long as a woman marries a man and has children, she will basically take the interests of her man as her own.
In later generations, there were frequent intermarriages in Western countries, and Queen Victoria of England was even known as the grandmother of Europe.
But so what?
The first battle was between Victoria's grandson and her grandson...
What's more, this kind of thing has precedents in Chinese history!
Liu Che shook his head and said to Zhou Yafu: "Does the Prime Minister still remember the Queen Mother of Qin Zhao?"
The Queen Mother of King Zhao of Qin, Queen Mother Xuan, was a strong woman with a thunderous reputation!
This princess of Chu State caused a lot of trouble to her motherland after marrying to Qin State.
Her son, King Zhao of Qin, punched Zhao Wei, kicked Qi and Chu, and did not save the Chu State at all. It was during the reign of King Zhao that Qin general Bai Qi defeated all the countries, including the motherland of the Queen Mother Xuan.
.
Liu Che took a step forward and said again: "I read history books and often hear stories about the good things between Qin and Jin Dynasties. The prime minister is well-read and well-informed, and he knows this story about the so-called 'good things about Qin and Jin Dynasties'!"
The famous relationship between Qin and Jin in history was that the two powerful countries married each other, but in the end, Qin and Jin alternately competed for hegemony.
Therefore, Liu Che was not worried at all about what would happen if he married a Hun princess!
A married Hun princess, in the public opinion environment and palace environment of the Han Dynasty, can only and must become a woman who fights purely for the interests of the Han Dynasty.
In the final analysis, this world belongs to men after all.
This society is also a patriarchal society.
Whether they are Huns or Han people, the so-called bloodline only refers to the paternal line, not the maternal line.
Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is said to have been born from a Mongolian woman!
But this Emperor Chengzu beat a Mongolian and cried for father and mother, and the so-called golden family ran like a wolf and a dolphin. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
