Six hundred and forty-eighth chapter killing and releasing prisoners (2)
Yi Zhixie, led by Han Dynasty officials, walked through the corridor and walked along the garden passage.↗,
Generally speaking, except for the special 'welcome ceremony' at the palace gate at the beginning, the people of the Han Dynasty did not do anything else.
Everything was carried out in accordance with the normal etiquette of the past exchanges between Han and Hungary.
Walk all the way and see all the way.
The more Yi Zhixie looked, the more frightened she became.
Eyes don't deceive.
Wherever you look, there are armored soldiers standing everywhere in the Han palace.
Almost every soldier has armor on his body, a sword, and an arrow basket on his back.
The archery skills of the Han army were clear even to Yi Zhixie.
When he was a boy, Yi Zhixie had heard countless tribal elders and generals recount their experiences on the southern battlefield.
The seemingly endless rain of arrows that covers the sky and the sun is always the unchanging protagonist in those stories.
In the impression of every Huns, the Han Dynasty in the south was an enemy with powerful bows and crossbows.
When every Xiongnu man first started to practice riding skills on the back of a sheep, his father and uncles in the clan would teach him that he should avoid when the Han Dynasty people shoot arrows.
Therefore, if we say that Yi Zhixie is most familiar with something in this strange country.
There is no doubt that this is the crossbow of the Han Dynasty.
Yi Zhixie could even tell the models of most of the crossbows used by those soldiers.
Whenever someone appeared with a big yellow crossbow on his back, Yi Zhixie could not help but pay attention.
In fact, this kind of murderous weapon is full of violent beauty and mysterious legends.
In past wars, at least half of the Hun nobles who died were killed by this unique and super powerful long-range strike weapon.
Even in the records of the Xiongnu, there was once a Guduhou who was shot down with both men and horses a hundred steps away from the Han army's crossbow formation.
Not only is it difficult to load this powerful crossbow, and it takes a long time to prepare for each shot, otherwise, it is likely to become a killing machine in countless wars in the past.
But precisely because of this, it makes every Hun noble feel involuntarily fearful when they see it. This weapon of the Han Dynasty usually only targets nobles, especially big nobles, on the battlefield.
Following the officials of the Han Dynasty, Yi Zhi walked through the maze-like palace corridors for an unknown length of time.
When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, Yi Zhixie finally saw the "Xuanshi Palace" where the emperors of the Han Dynasty handled daily government affairs, which had been described by countless Xiongnu envoys.
Because Xuanshi Palace is so easy to identify!
As the tallest building in the Han Dynasty, it is like a palace standing on the top of the mountains, magnificent and magnificent.
"Your Majesty, please wait here until someone goes to convey..." Gongsun Kunxie, who was accompanying Yi Zhixie, bowed slightly and said to Yi Zhixie.
Then, he placed Yi Zhixie and the members of the mission in a corner of the square where His Royal Highness Xuanshi was, and he walked up the steps.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gongsun Kunxie's figure reappeared in front of Yi Zhixie.
Gongsun Kunxie said: "I have an edict from your Majesty, please send your envoy to the throne!"
Yi Zhi nodded obliquely, not knowing why. He was a little excited, a little nervous, and even a little panicked and palpitated.
Yi Zhixie is no stranger to the current emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty.
In a strict sense, he is still a relative of the Han Dynasty emperor!
His cousin, the Beihai Yan family of the Luantang family, is one of the wives of the current emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Yi Zhixie also saw the changes in the Han Dynasty in recent years.
In the past two years, he and the Wusun people jointly built a smuggling channel, which not only brought him wealth, resources and strength, but also brought him knowledge and knowledge.
Although he had never met, in Yi Zhixie's mind, some of the character outlines of his cousin-in-law, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, had already been sketched out.
This was a young, vigorous and aggressive emperor.
From the initial marriage, marrying the Yan family of Beihai, to the latest one, taking advantage of the opportunity, forcing the king of Xianbei to be killed.
These things all show that the new emperor of the Han Dynasty has a stronger and more vigorous offensive power than his father and grandfather.
And more cunning and insidious!
Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhixie led the envoys, followed in the footsteps of Da Honglu of the Han Dynasty in front, and stepped onto the high steps in front of the Xuanshi Hall.
…………………………………………
"The envoy of the Huns, King Yougu Li has come to pay homage to the Emperor of Han Dynasty!"
As the promise was sung outside the palace, the civil and military ministers in the palace cheered up one after another.
The Huns are not unusual.
But King Yougu Li of the Xiongnu was cherished by the Han Dynasty at this moment just like Gungun in later generations.
The generals and princes were all gearing up, preparing to give King Yougu Li, who came from the Xiongnu, a showdown.
And the civil servants and doctors are also concentrating on preparing to stage a possible "tongue war with barbarians" and "criticism of unofficial ministers", so as to leave a mark on the history.
Liu Che also sat up straight.
The living members of the Xiongnu royal family and the future Chanyu!
After two thousand years, this will definitely be eligible to be put into a museum and exhibited around the world.
So, amid great expectations, a delegation of dozens of people walked into this sacred place from the main entrance of Xuanshi Hall.
As in the past few decades, other members of the Xiongnu mission except Yi Zhixie, after entering the main hall, knelt down dozens of meters away from the hall in a polite manner, kowtowed and said: "Follow the heaven and the earth."
Born, placed by the sun and moon, the Xiongnu Great Chanyu ordered me to ask if the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is well!"
Six years after Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, according to the agreement between the Han and Hungarian kings at that time.
The Han and Hungarians are brothers and recognize each other.
When Han envoys arrive at the Xiongnu, they must pay their respects to the Xiongnu Chanyu according to the Xiongnu system.
vice versa.
Yi Zhixie was the king of Youguli of the Xiongnu. According to the treaty of the year, he automatically enjoyed the treatment of the elders of the princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and did not need to kowtow.
Of course, Yi Zhixie also needs to abide by other etiquette.
He bowed slightly and said in relatively proficient Chinese: "King Yougu Li of the great Xiongnu has met the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I respectfully ask if the emperor is okay!"
After hearing this, Liu Che stood up with a smile and said: "Good morning, your envoy and your family members, please excuse me. In addition, please convey my greetings to the Chanyu of your country after your envoy and your family members return home!"
Decades of exchanges between Han and Hungary have already established a set of tacit diplomatic etiquette and unspoken rules for each other.
At least on the surface, the exchanges between the two countries' missions were very civilized.
For example, you give me some horses, and I will give you some pieces of silk and some beautiful clothes in return.
It was as if Han and Hungary were really a country of brothers.
But the fact is: in the past four large-scale wars between the Han and Huns, except for the Battle of Pingcheng, the other three wars were fought after the visit of Han Dynasty envoys or Huns envoys.
So-called diplomacy, in the past, present and future, is actually a trick of telling lies and deceiving the other party with open eyes.
Whoever believes it will lie!
"The emperor's greetings, I will definitely convey them to my lord, the Great Chanyu!" Yi Zhi raised his head sideways and said without looking sideways.
Then, he took an object wrapped in sheepskin from a follower behind him and said to Liu Che: "This is the letter of credence written by my lord, the Great Chanyu, to your majesty. Please see it!"
"In addition, my lord also asked me to bring gifts to His Majesty the Emperor, a total of five horses and three four-horse horses..."
While talking, Yi Zhi looked sideways at the Han Dynasty emperor standing on the throne in the palace.
This young emperor of the Han Dynasty was very young. It is said that he was not even eighteen years old this year.
But he has firmly controlled the entire Han Dynasty. His authority even surpasses that of his father and ancestors, and he has the power to rule the world.
In the Han Dynasty, countless people even regarded him as a living god.
Even in the Xiongnu country, there are countless nobles who firmly believe in this. For the Huns who believe in shamanism, everything in the world can become a worshiped god.
But at this moment, Yi Zhixie did not find any signs of being similar to a god in the young emperor of the Han Dynasty.
He stood in front of the throne with a smile like this. If the nine strings on his forehead hadn't obscured his face and the crimson robe on his body showed his identity, then he would not be much different from the ordinary young nobles of the Han Dynasty.
This made Yi Zhixie feel a little contemptuous.
Young people, especially young people in power, are always easy to deal with.
Because they are young, have little experience, are easily impulsive, have no wealth, are simple and naive, and have many unrealistic fantasies.
"Probably, the reputation and political achievements of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the past two years were all promoted by his ministers?" Yi Zhixie thought. (To be continued.)
