Six hundred and forty-fifth chapters Hun messenger - Yi Zhixie (1)
Soon it was late September, and the year came to an end unknowingly.◇↓,
The weather is getting colder and colder.
In the morning, frost and thick fog took over the world, and it was difficult to see anyone even ten steps away.
On the wide galloping road, it is rare to see carriages and horses.
But this morning was an exception.
Several carriages, escorted by more than a hundred cavalry, walked slowly on the galloping road.
The people in Guanzhong from all over the country also gathered on both sides of the road, watching as if they were aliens.
There were even many men dressed like scholar-bureaucrats and nobles, with their servants, coming to watch.
"This can be said to be the Holy Son of Heaven..." On the side of the road, someone whispered along with their friends: "The Art of War says: The army that subdues the enemy without fighting is called superiority. Today, your majesty does not use swords and soldiers, but sends Yi and Di to come to court, and the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous.
, that’s all!”
"That's right!" Someone nodded in agreement: "This world is born sacred. According to legend, when the late concubine Su was pregnant with His Majesty, Chi You's flag flew across the sky. This Lord Holy King came to the world and bowed down with his majesty.
Four seas, suppress eight wastelands!"
After hearing this, everyone also said: "That's right, that's right!"
The so-called Chi You's flag is a collective name for various celestial phenomena in the world.
Generally speaking, there are mainly two types.
One is a cloud that is yellow above and white below, shaped like a flag, or similar to an aurora; the other is a comet with a tail like a flag.
For astrology, every time this kind of celestial image appears, it is the beginning of a world war or the explosion of a certain emperor.
For example, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, Chi You's flag appeared everywhere, so Qin destroyed six kingdoms, and the dead were like a mess, countless.
Therefore, people are very interested in such natural phenomena. Astrologers will record all similar abnormal stars and celestial phenomena, and then explore the meaning of similar stars and celestial phenomena from historical records or future events.
By coincidence, I don't know who recorded the year when Liu Che was born. A phenomenon similar to Chi You's Flag appeared in the sky over Guanzhong during the day.
It may be that a comet returns to the sun and its orbit passes over the earth. It may also be that there is a slight problem with the earth's magnetic field, causing auroras to appear in the atmosphere. It is more likely that a certain cloud forms a similar shape under the influence of wind.
Case.
If Liu Che had not become emperor, no one would even think of similar records.
But after Liu Che became emperor, his every move, even before and after his birth, anything related to him was put under a magnifying glass and studied carefully, and any clues were dug out from the pile of old papers and used as evidence.
If it weren't for the tradition that the priesthood of the Soldier Master also included killing and tyranny, some people would definitely connect Liu Che with Chi You, and there were even rumors that Liu Che was the Soldier Master who descended to earth.
Even so, this matter has been deified by people, and it has become a legend that Liu Che was born sacred, and even the military leader had to protect the law for the birth of such a holy emperor.
As for how many of these statements are made by people who want to seek good fortune, and how many are made by people who want to fool village women and defraud them of fortune-telling money, it is not clear.

Yi Zhixie gently opened the car curtain and looked at the vague and unclear Han people on both sides of the road. The scars on his face became even more ferocious.
"Jun Chen, you are really bullying me too much!" Yi Zhixie's chest was filled with anger.
A month and a half ago, he betrayed Wusun and planned to successfully ambush the main force of Wusun moving eastward at Rouge Mountain.
Although the Wusun people fled a lot, and only more than 3,000 corpses were found on the battlefield, they captured almost all the Wusun tribesmen, as many as tens of thousands of prisoners of war, making the Xiongnu go up and down,
They all laughed from ear to ear.
Due to this contribution, he was jointly recommended by the Longcheng nobles and the eastern tribes, and was named King Youguli by the military officials, becoming one of the four most important forces in the Xiongnu country.
According to Yi Zhixie's plan, after becoming Queen Youguli, he should lie dormant, accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and one day take revenge on the military officials.
But who knows that the old fox, the military minister, is worthy of being the legitimate son of the old Shanyu, and is well versed in the old Shanyu's fighting strategies.
The military officials named him King Youguli, and they sent the royal cavalry and ordered him to go to the Han Dynasty as an envoy to show off his martial arts to the Han emperor and ask for gifts.
"The military minister is trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife!" Yi Zhixie took a long breath.
In the past, the highest-level diplomatic missions were exchanged between the Han and the Huns. The highest-ranking person in the Han Dynasty was Lou Jing, Lord of Fengchun, who had two thousand shi.
similar.
Apart from that, most of the time, middle-level officials interact with each other.
The envoys sent by the Han Dynasty would not exceed Qianshi, and the highest-ranking envoys sent by the Xiongnu were just Guduhou.
It was unheard of in the history of the Xiongnu to send King Yougu Li, one of the four corners, whose status was second only to Chanyu and the right and left virtuous king, as an envoy.
Because neither the Xiongnu nor the Han Dynasty could send such an important nobleman to a potential enemy country.
What if the other party rejects the vote?
In a sense, Yi Zhixie's mission can be regarded as a turning point in the history of exchanges between Han and Hungary, and even an ice-breaking trip.
Of course, the premise is that he can complete his mission and return to the Huns safely.
only……
Yi Zhixie knew very well that if he could go back alive, it would be like seeing a ghost!
"The military minister will not let me go back alive..." Yi Zhixie thought to himself: "I was still too careless and too hasty. I should have endured it for a few more years and let the Wusun people delay the military minister for a few more years.
It’s a pity that you are greedy for profit!”
When Yi Zhixie was very young, he was educated by his father's mastermind, Zhong Xingshuo, and he could easily pick up some allusions and common sense about the Han Dynasty.
It is by relying on the wisdom from the Han Dynasty, by keeping a low profile and pretending to be stupid that Yi Zhixie survives to this day.
pity……
In a moment of impulsiveness, he lost his alertness, and the military officials found out about him, and drove him to the Han Dynasty with just one sentence.
The tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife was a very common method in both the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
Yi Zhixie knew very well that at this moment, there must be no! Most of the people in his mission were military ministers.
These people must have another mission to die, no matter what means they use to make any deal with the Han Dynasty people.
And if he died in the Han Dynasty, whether he died of illness, was killed by the Han Dynasty people, or even accidentally fell into the river and drowned, to the military officials, it would be a far more important thing than a marriage.
Good stuff!
"If I die and kill King Ruolu, the bloodline of Shanyu will only be his military officials, and the position of Yushan's son will be stable..." Yi Zhixie thought in her heart.
For the Xiongnu, the purity and continuity of the clan were more important than anything else.
Both Yi Zhixie and King Ruolu have the ability to threaten the stable status of the son of a military minister.
"If I want to live, I have to convince the Emperor of the Han Dynasty not to let me die..." Yi Zhixie has been tossing and turning over these days, and has figured out the key to her own survival.
He could only die within the Great Wall. If he died outside the Great Wall, it would inevitably arouse fear and suspicion among the entire royal family.
The Huns can accept two Chanyus from the same clan competing for the throne, but they will never accept the despicable means of murdering a nobleman of the Luotang clan.
Not to mention, those collateral clan Luotang clan who hold military power have always been dissatisfied with the suppression and oppression of military ministers.
Therefore, the key to his survival lies in the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty did not want him to die, so he would naturally be able to leave the Great Wall alive.
Otherwise, he can choose how to end his life.
The only problem is that he has too few chips.
At least less than those of military officials. (To be continued.)
